I'm surprised trains aren't automated. I guess Amtrak is too busy operating in the Red due to free moral money to bother innovating and improving.
I still lol every time there's a natural disaster and everyone hates on FEMA. the derp is strong.

They don't expect any criminals to turn in their guns, because they are being used 'in carjackings, to settle scores.' They do, however, want 'grandma, dad, etc' to turn in their guns...in case they might somehow be used for...crime? For WAY less than market value...

question: why does everything left of me care about Flynn?
Flynn matters as much as Kwanzaa does.
The Wall Street Journal has published a brand new report, confirming that leftist, pro-Hillary FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were, in fact, planning to use the Russia investigation to take Donald Trump down if he won.
At issue is a single text message that Strzok sent to his mistress in the FBI.
"I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office — that there's no way he gets elected — but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40…"
Sources now confirm that Strzok was specifically talking about his Trump-Russia investigation. He saw his witch hunt as an "insurance policy" to protect the nation against Trump in case he won, something he believed the country couldn't "risk." He discussed this plot with his mistress and Andrew McCabe.
If that name sounds familiar, it should. McCabe was in charge of the Clinton email investigation and his wife received more than half a million from top Hillary Clinton donors for her own local political campaign. McCabe is currently under investigation by the Inspector General for this blatant conflict of interest, but now we know he was involved early on in the phony Trump investigation.

You do realize that you're literally the only person who has mentioned the word "Flynn" in this thread for the past several pages, yes?
And that you've done so a half-dozen times?
I'm pretty sure I'm left of you (in that I don't believe that women should be able to be bought and sold as property) and I only care about Flynn because xe annoys you.

You cant just
suggest his arrest was very important and everyone left of me cares, but then you can't even give one good reason as to why anyone should care?and by you, I mean savington. although I would accept a decent answer from anyone in the world left of me.
Also, I don't believe women should be bought and sold. I certainly don't believe women should get to give blow jobs to get roles (then wear a ***** hat and cry about trump -- judd) and use the current fake-climate to make money off feminists and make shitty all-girls movies like Ghostbusters, Ocean's 8, or Annihilation. But at least it explains why girls like ScarJo and Natalie Portman keep getting jobs.

More unsurprising news from Venezuela: even with well-established socialism, and the world's largest proven oil reserves, they can't feed their children. Why don't adults in that country make some changes? Because that is the system of government they want. People get the government they deserve. We are lucky to have a president who is excluding them from coming here. Whatever is wrong with them, I don't want them to bring it here.
Not sure what's the point of NYTime's weepy article about this. Are we supposed to be sending foreign aid to a country that hates us, and has the world's largest oil reserves?
Socialist paradise... largest proven oil reserves in the world... Children starve.

The hospital is one of the few still accepting malnourished infants for treatment. Other hospitals often turn them away, telling desperate parents that they do not have enough beds or medical supplies to treat their children. Nearly all of Venezuelan hospitals report shortages of basic provisions like baby formula.

I was going to post a Venezuela story the other day, but I was too busy trying to find a news story on Flynn -- because it was VERY VERY important apparently.

Venezuela oil-backed cryptocurrency to launch in days, government says
- Venezuela's cryptocurrency will launch within days and be backed by 5.3 billion barrels of oil worth $267 billion
- The launch is a bid to offset a deep financial crisis, the socialist government said on Thursday
- President Nicolas Maduro surprised many earlier this month when he announced the "petro" cryptocurrency

I'm serious.
For the longest time, bitcoin was just a thing that a few random anarcho-capitalist nerds were excited about. And the whole "Satoshi Nakamoto" thing makes it sound really cool and subversive. Then some Chinese anarcho-anti-communist nerds got excited about it. Then mainstream media started to talk about it, and suddenly it was like:
Random 1: "OMG! YOU HAVE TO BUY BITCOIN!"
Random 2: "WHY?"
Random 1: "BECAUSE IT'S AN AMAZING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY AND THE PRICE IS SKYROCKETING"
Random 2: (Buys some bitcoin)
Bitcoin: (Exchange price increases slightly)
Random 1: "OMG! SEE, IT'S LIKE TOTALLY GOING UP IN VALUE! THIS WILL LIKE TOTALLY NEVER END!"
I'll admit, I wish I'd been clairvoyant enough 3 years ago to see ahead of the lemmings and build up some wallet to sell them. Would have been nice to be able to just buy a $2m apartment downtown for cash. That having been said, I'm not going to join them in jumping off the cliff.

1 may be cool, and 2 may be neat, but it doesn't mean 3 is worth

Serious, I wonder how many people are actually paying capital gains [or taking losses] on realized gains or losses?

Why conservatives just aren't into comedy
hell no, things are going to get a lot worse.

Political humor has arguably never been more popular. But while its practitioners all have their own distinct styles, their ideology isn't so varied: Whether they come from Stephen, Seth, or Samantha, the jokes are generally supportive of progressive politics.Why has the right yet to produce its own Daily Show? In a recent study, a research team led by Danna Young of the University of Delaware provides a simple answer: As a rule, conservatives are not into comedy.
