So, Forbes compiled its "richest people" list by simply asking rich people how much money they have? That seems like a solid way to do it.
And now they're worried about flaws in their methodology? If Trump had lost the election, would this even have come up?
The liturgy link was interesting. I'm not sure telling the richest 1,000 people they have to fund the government, but will have little-to-no-say in what the government does or that the poor people can simply vote themselves the rich people's money is a practical way to run a country.

The FBI has filed sex trafficking charges against him, saying that with the help of mostly female assistants, he blackmailed and coerced women into unwanted sex. ~ from the link by lujlp at April 22, 2018 12:34 AM
"...with the help of mostly female assistants...." Hmmm.
There's an interesting twist for the #MeToo movement to ponder.
Seems to me I remember lots of Harvey Weinstein's victims saying his female assistants sent them up to his room without giving them any warning. And a lot of those victims subsequently kept quiet about Harvey until it was hip to be a Harvey victim and then they sang into the nearest microphone.

Still feeling sexually emasculated by the orange muppet Crid?
And yes, there probably should be a better design on the masks. Have these changed in the last 40 years? I'm guessing the design is due to historical ease of manufacturing. And now they are government controlled you probably need an act of congress to change them. A Cousin Dave question I'm guessing.

Government specifications - one size fits all.
Fitting it over your mouth and nose is not really necessary for it to work. The trick is to breathe through whatever it's covering.
Besides, you only have a 12-15 second supply of oxygen from one of those things, just enough time for the captain to get the plane down to 10,000 feet where you won't need it.
Like the lifeboats on the Titanic, they were designed with a specific short-term purpose in mind and it's not as comforting as you would like it to be.

FRIEDKIN: She spoke in a voice that was completely different from her own. She had what I would say was an unnatural amount of strength for a woman her size and age. And her entire personality had altered. And the psychiatrist told me, to my astonishment, that psychiatry now recognizes it as something called dissociative identity disorder - demonic possession.

Hours later, it's still howlingly weird that anyone could think of Donald Trump (Donald Trump!) as a sexually intimidating figure.
Interesting. In Crid's world a vote is the same as oral sex? So Amy licked Hillary? Considering Hillary got ~62 million votes and Donald got ~61 million votes doesn't that lead to a lot of rug burn?

Yes, Muffin, that's exactly what I said. Everyone took precisely that point, and everyone knows what your getting at without reviewing material, and everyone is certain that you had an English class in middle school.

Seriously where are all these women looking to join sex cults and why do I never run into them?

Crid at April 22, 2018 5:35 AM
Now, what do the ventures listed here have common?
Hell yes Trump's envious. He's merely President; American leadership happens in other offices— by other, stronger, men.

The truth about a plane's oxygen mask is eye-opening.

Oops. That's a 12-15 minute supply of oxygen.

"A vote is the same as oral sex." Precisely.
