Numbers
are just numbers... except when they're not.
Faint
Praise: “I
do not believe that most of the people who are thinking about voting
for Mr. Trump are racist or sexist.” Bernie
Sanders
Keeping
Score: The
average working-class US resident loses about $1,800 a year because
sweatshops in Bangladesh and China pay so little so our global
masters can make even more money. TPP is set to make this even
worse, with Obama cheering the process on.
Illegal
Alien:
Records show that
Melania Trump was paid
over $20,000 for
working in the US
without a valid work visa – a violation of federal law.
Miraculous
Conception:
According to Gov. Christie, he is not guilty of anything, he knew
nothing (and continues to know nothing) even though the man who
claims to have masterminded the GW Bridge Backup claims that Christie
laughed when he was told about the plan and participated in the
cover-up that also involved NY Gov. Cuomo. Christie's man at the
Port Authority and a top Christie aide
have both been found guilty and face up to 20 years in prison.
Christie faces life without politics.
Freedom
Isn't
Free: It costs
$50 to ask the Baltimore PD for information under the Freedom of
Information Act, only to discover that “BPD emailes have a limited
retrieval time frame.” Leon Podestra they ain't gonna be, but if
you are lucky and BPD has trashed the emails, then they will charge
you more. And more and more, until you go away.
Surprise,
Surprise:
Beginning in August the US carried out 367 airstrikes
in Libya, with no public notice, no briefings and no public
accountability. Naturally the US is sorry if there were collateral
casualties among civilians, but ISIS recruiting was down, so ...
Note that US/NATO
forces killed more than 30 civilians in a single airstrike in
Afghanistan last week.
Sha-zam!
The
Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth:
According to Joseph
Stiglitz, Paul Krugman and now some European friends, the future of
the Euro will be – to use Hobbs' term -
nasty,
brutish
and short.
The
violence of the dissolution will depend on the abundance of unicorns.
Ups
and Downs:
Half a million people stopped standing around on streetcorners
last month, according to the BLS; 161,000 found new jobs and 425,000
left the labor force. So
alrighty then.

“I do not believe that most of the people who are thinking about voting for Mrs. Clinton are racist or sexist. Nor that most of them are enablers for pedophiles and rapist, nor that most of them are apologist for corporatist who raided bank and retirement fund and destroyed the economy."
Trump would be a disaster for the nation, and the Clinton Twins will be a disaster for this nation, which would have been the worst disaster is something for speculation only, the facts can never be known.

I think we're all about to be fed a crap sandwich, it's just a matter of is it topped with mustard or mayo. To make you feel better, just remember it's the non-Americans who are going to suffer the most, no matter who you elect from the Big R and Big D.
Um, both earlier posters are correct so, as usual, I belabor the obvious when I point out that 'change' will NEVER be on the ballot because our oligarchs must approve party platforms and candidate wannabes are sworn to support the platform regardless of what it includes [or in most cases, omits]
I'm also going to predict that this will be the last election of its kind.
Too soon to speculate on what will replace it but you can be sure it will have a much smaller group of participants!
One last time while there still is time: STRIKE!
"The average working-class US resident loses about $1,800 a year because sweatshops in Bangladesh and China pay so little so our global masters can make even more money. TPP is set to make this even worse, with Obama cheering the process on."
Trump's solution: We should work for less and thereby be competitive.
