    November 2016 pre-election poll

    Depends on whether it's allowed for the deceased to run for office after they've passed on.

    November 2016 pre-election poll

    Clearly the only answer is a new poll: Cats Doomweasels Sammo Hung/Arsenio Hall by virtue of extremely convincing argument from @bhamv3, we're subbing in Kelly Hu Marshall Law/Paul Phoenix Dave's Descendants Spelling

    If any state is going to, it will be North Carolina.

    a Trump vs Clinton United States Presidential Election in 2016

    I feel like he's getting better, but has yet to find his pace or an appropriate level of sophisticated comedy. It's a bit of a shame, because his stand-up when he talks about his own experiences growing up is biting and fantastic, but it feels like he goes for easy shots on the Daily Show...

    November 2016 pre-election poll

    I remembered Arsenio was in it, because when I first caught a few minutes on TV when it was on air, I thought he was supposed to be the main character because he was the only one who ever talked.

    What it is is awesome. That is how they originally spelled "martial" back when Dave's descendants created English.

    Please, we all know that Dave meant that Obama would order a new season of Martial Law.

    This would actually make it easier to buy them. GOG is incorporated in Cyprus, which means that Cyprus law applies about their acquisition before Polish law does. While GOG is wholly owned, it's also still legally a separate company, and together, these provide at least some level of protection...

    They might not have been allowed to per their agreement with Goldman Sachs, since GS paid for them. It's not the weirdest things for companies/events to require such things for paid speeches.

    a Trump vs Clinton United States Presidential Election in 2016

    Had 5 dems in the House voted along party lines for the obstruction of justice charge instead of defecting, it would not have passed and there would have been only a single impeachment article (the one that lost in the Senate 45-55 thanks to the defection of 10 GOP Senators). I'm not...

    a Trump vs Clinton United States Presidential Election in 2016

    Though the process never got far enough for the actual full vote, Nixon's impeachment proceedings had bi-partisan support within Congress by the time he actually resigned. When Clinton was actually impeached by the House, while the first two articles followed fairly partisan voting lines, the...

    a Trump vs Clinton United States Presidential Election in 2016

    Pardons explicitly do not prevent someone from being impeached, so I suspect that Presidential self-pardons simply would not work without the explicit support of half of Congress for that act. Given how much bad publicity exists around pardons anyway, I sincerely doubt Congress would go along...

    a Trump vs Clinton United States Presidential Election in 2016

    You guys are conflating two different instances. Clinton withheld personal emails from a State department request to provide government emails related to the nth investigation of Benghazi in 2014. House Select Committees are legislative bodies, not judicial nor executive ones. Without a...

    Of the various statistical modeling sites, 538 has actually been the most conservative (no pun intended) this year. They may have got into the 85% chance of Clinton range, but at the time, PEC, Upshot, and PredictWise were all in the 90s. 538 currently has Clinton at 75%, Upshot and...

    A 2016 Downticket Thread

    The only other notable race on my ballot is for congresscritter. The incumbent is a Dem, and I voted against him in the primary because I think he's kind of a complacent moron most of the time and votes in favor of the Patriot Act the rest of the time. That being said, since he won the primary...

    So apparently, no one at the FBI had actually seen the emails in questions when Comey sent his letter. So he basically blatantly decided to put this thumb on the scale, 11 days before an election. That may actually be a violation of the Hatch Act.

    Ah that's a good point. Should have considered it from a larger perspective.
