At this point, even Hillary Clinton's supporters have to know how bad for her party it would be if she somehow pulled off a win.

Imagine for a second the impossible happens, and Hillary Clinton wins the nomination. The unlikely event could only happen through a back room deal at this point that either suddenly convinced most of the "Super Delegates" to vote for her or else she talked the credentials committee into counting the unauthorized primary data from the two state in dispute.

I can't imagine it happening, but if it did -- tell me that an entire generation of his supporters won't feel completely blown off. Now tell me she doesn't see that.

Not an entire generation of supporters, Andrew, but an large swath of the long
term Democratic "base". There are a lot of African-Americans who (if Hillary
somehow manages to get the super delegates to give her the nomination), will
see it as "The Man" teasing them with the hope of real change for the better,
and then taking it away when it looks like it might actually happen. My
feeling is that a lot of those voters will stay home on election day should
that come to pass, which would probably give McCain the presidency.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't.

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
