Gizmodo laughing at the #CrookedHillary-approved Verrit:
No One Asked for Verrit, but Here We Are
As Daou has made fairly clear on Twitter, Verrit is intended to defeat the “Hillary-hating frenzy”and trumpet that “Hillary is not going to be erased.”
Where’s the future in that?
http://gizmodo.com/no-one-aske.....1799232220
Who wants to erase #CrookedHillary? She’s pure comedy gold. She, and those of you who can’t accept what you caused.
#CrookedHillary will never, ever be president. But that doesn’t mean we can’t guffaw at those who still think she’s got a shot.
Goldy, are you #StillWithHer?

Interesting about the party Merkel is hoping for a coalition partner, the Free Democrats. They are hoping for a comeback after failing to clear 5% in 2013. They are pro-business but socially Liberal.

Although they are barely above 5% in the polls, the Greens are not just being courted by the Social Democrats, but also the Christian Democrats.

A great guide to the six parties that have a chance of being elected this year in Germany.
http://www.dw.com/en/german-el.....a-38085900
The election for the Bundestag uses a mixed Member proportional representation system, where voters have two votes, one for a district rep, and one for a party. A party must win 5% to gain proportional seats, or a minimum of three districts.

Republicans suddenly seem to like unions again
Forty-two percent of Republicans said they approved of unions, a jump from 2011, when only 26 percent of Republicans showed support.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/09/04/republicans-suddenly-seem-to-like-unions-again/?utm_term=.5146459bd1cc
Maybe it has something to do with this:
Clinton’s poor performance among union households appeared to especially damage her in crucial Midwestern states. Obama won Ohio in 2012, besting Romney in those households by 23 percentage points. Clinton actually lost Ohio’s union households to Trump by 9 points, according to exit polls. The state went to Trump.
Michigan would have been an easy victory any other year — Democrats had won the state since 1992 — but it’s currently still too close to call. Exit polls show Clinton holds only a 13 percent advantage among union households there. Obama beat Romney in union households by a whopping 33 percent in 2012. A similar scenario played out in Wisconsin this year, another state that went to Trump.

“We demand you take this book out of the Library!”
Suburban Chicago Library, “No.”
Dig a little deeper and you get to the bearing false witness part. The complainers run a Evangelical Ministry called “Defenders Media.” The book in question appears on a bunch of “Ban these blasphemous books” lists of various other American Taliban related sites. So we are to believe a three-year old girl just happened to take this particular book out of the thousands on the shelves and bring it to mommy.
(Sidebar) One of my evangelical nut job extended family video’d and bragged on Social Media about how wonderful it is that their toddler picked his first book off the shelf and it was the “Kid’s Bible” Praise Jesus, what a blessing. Huh, which book do you suppose was the only one in their house with a bright blue handle attached to the spine as if enticing little hands?
Now mind you, the same library does have biblical books, kid’s bibles, biographies of Moses (first hand sourced for sure) but Heaven forbid a parent should keep an eye on their three year old because if they ever see a picture book that they can’t read with a picture of a bunch of flamboyantly dressed, are they men or women or both, people gathered together well the little angel will demand a trans bathroom and start rubbing their genitalia on like genitalia tomorrow.
Nah, not THOSE sorts of images. Just nice hetero couples having babies, preparing siblings for new babies, trolls eating babies, Monsters jumping on beds… Save me from being a parent. Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the children!

And look how quickly the Dumbfuck goes to racism. All Dreamers are janitors or landscapers.
Nope, none of them are students, in the armed forces, degreed professionals, journalists, nope. No sir. They are brown and Latino/a so they must clean for white folk and mow our lawns.
That’s pretty racist. Good work there.

Yep that’s how it works.

Stealing from the Yankees isn’t really stealing. No real victim.
Boston Red Sox Used Apple Watches to Steal Signs Against Yankees
The Yankees, who had long been suspicious of the Red Sox stealing catchers’ signs in Fenway Park, contended the video showed a member of the Red Sox training staff looking at his Apple Watch in the dugout and then relaying a message to players, who may have then been able to use the information to know the type of pitch that was going to be thrown, according to the people familiar with the case.
Baseball investigators corroborated the Yankees’ claims based on video the commissioner’s office uses for instant replay and broadcasts, the people said. The commissioner’s office then confronted the Red Sox, who admitted that their trainers had received signals from video replay personnel and then relayed that information to some players — an operation that had been in place for at least several weeks.

Maybe, but you get what you pay for. Every kid should get the kind of high-quality public school education I got in Lower Merion.
5h
Quality education is overrated. I would have traded all of those AP courses for 15 minutes in the janitor’s closet with Mary Kay LeTourneau.
@26
15 minutes with MKL? That is priceless. Your time with her would be over after 30 seconds because, much like your reasoning and logic, she would be pointing at you and laughing hysterically at you and saying, “Is that all you got?”
@ 27
And because I was 13.
@13. That’s exactly why trump supporters demand DACA be abolished. They see it as the illegals are stealing “good” jobs from real Americans. It is fine if illegals clean toilets, but they are displacing real Americans from well paying jobs. That’s 800,000 people worth of jobs and scholarships and resources that should be given to them. I doubt a single trump supporter will vote for a democrat while dems argue that real Americans should have to complete against cheating illegals for jobs and resources that they see as rightfully entitled to them.
@28 So you really are a glutton for punishment.
If, at age 13, you knew you could only last 30 seconds with an older woman, why on earth would you want an additional 14 minutes and 30 seconds of ridicule? Speaks volumes as to why you keep coming here to get mocked and ridiculed all the time with you your posts.
Apparently those AP classes didn’t do you any good, you should ask for your money back.
@ 30
’cause when I was 13 I had about a two-minute refractory period.
@29 Americans aren’t smart enough to learn and too lazy to work. Bunch of snowflakes they are.
@29
Yep. As soon as we get those 800.000 people out the textile mills, the coal mines and the electronic manufacturers will come storming back. And then the Auto plants in Flint will fire up and provide all the jobs a white person in the midwest could ever dream of getting. Steel has a big future if we could just get all the illegals out.
31,
Huh. Based on your lengthy and conspicuous absence following the #TrumpCar race-terror attacks I would have assumed it was much longer.
