#7  Numerical instability in the algorithms, cheap Chinese capacitors, unstable power supply, plus she is OLD.

Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) has pointed out that electing a 70 year old person to a demanding job like POTUS is simply nuts.

#8  Job? That is for handlers. Only thing she will decide is if the price is right and when to do whatever the 70yo woman's equivalent of golf is.

There will be no bad news. Dissent will be quietly crushed. Chelsea will get show time, probably a plum spot somewhere where her husband can cattle future.

#9  whatever the 70yo woman's equivalent of golf is

While Comrade Obama prefers
To curse a small ball through the furze,
The new boss's hobby's
A little less snobby:
As heads roll, she plays tricoteuse.

#12  OK, here is how it may go down. The dems got to keep the Hildabeest upright and coherent till after the election. Then if she wins, the election fix is in, she is put out to pasture. Mo Bro Kaine gets in and the dem criminal machine moves on. If Hildabeest falls over and does not make it to election day, then the dems will do the plan B, playing the sympathy card and work by hook or crook to get Kaine in.

#13  Or.... the entire process is postponed and Obama stays on for a third term. No charges are levied against the Beest due to her mental state.

Or.... the Beest wins and immediately goes into medical seclusion with all decision making done by Slick, Kaine, and Huma.

Mercer: The Clinton Media's Manufactured Reality
[Townhall] The Clinton Media have gone from malfunctioning to mad, from "dishonest" to deranged. Their coverage of the 2016 election is no longer tinged by liberal bias, but is about moving viewers and readers into a parallel universe, an alternate reality of the media’s making.

The media monolith’s latest imbecility is to offer effusive plaudits for their candidate, Hillary, because this life-long politician whose ill-gotten gains have come via the political means, not the private productive means, has released her tax returns for 2015.

This is something Donald Trump has yet to do--for the candidate is under audit and has been advised to refrain from doing anything that’ll give the most corrupt and dangerous of government agencies a lien on his assets--or liberty, for that matter.

Befitting an arm of our technocratic managerial state--the Internal Revenue Service regularly criminalizes the actions of "non-compliant" victims, even when the alleged crime is, more often than not, unintentional. And it matters not that the "Rights of Englishmen," bequeathed to the American Founders by their philosophical forbears, stipulated that there is to be no crime without intent. Also unconstitutional is ex post facto (or retroactive) law. Yet the rogues at the IRS routinely change laws as they go, and criminalize "actions that were legal when committed."

Kind of like the last days of Hitler. Their reality was really self-delusional and totally unhinged.

Half-mad Lyrics



I am only half-mad, no need to be frightened of me
I am only half-mad, screaming's just a passtime
I am only half-mad, but there's no room left for hatred
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
I am only half-mad, sometimes I am self destructive
I am only half-mad, can't afford too much self pity
I am only half-mad, black and blue's my favorite color
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
I am only half-mad, and my madness is unstable
I am only half-mad, my half-mind is fading slowly
I am only half-mad, screaming silence overcomes me
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
I am only half-mad, but I'm trying for three quarters
I am only half-mad, got no patience for confusion
I am only half-mad, running out of thoughts to give you
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger

#3  Wasn't Obama's 1st Secretary of the Treasury a Tax Evader? Must be nice to have the magical -D after your name...
Posted by: CrazyFool || 08/15/2016 13:26 Comments || Top||

#4  Maybe Republicans should infiltrate the Democrats and get that D after their names long enough to get elected and fix some things. Most democrat voters simply vote D so it shoudl work.

Sometimes it seems that is what the Dems did to the Republican party and the Pubs voters only recently figured it out.

#5  Wasn't Obama's 1st Secretary of the Treasury a Tax Evader?

I wouldn't call it evasion per se, he just got too aggressive and took some child care expenses that he shouldn't have. To wit - his kids went to day camps that also offered overnight stays. The overnight stays aren't deductible, as page 2 of the relevant instructions clearly state. I don't remember / believe if there were any other tax matters he messed up on, at which point I would call it evasion.

#6  The more Hildebeest calls for Trump to release his tax returns the more the IRS will audit them and the more the MSM will squawk about it. Don't look for that audit to be finished any time before November. That's just one of the many advantages of having an incumbent president run interference for her.

Muslim Walks Into Woods, Cops Make Alarming Find After Seeing What Emerges
[MadWorldNews] Although people thought he was merely going for a walk in the Kentucky woods, a Muslim's motives turned out to be much more sinister. Unfortunately, the series of events that would later play out would lead to police making quite the alarming find -but that was only after they saw what would emerge from the woods after he left.

Mark Sawaf had what his father, Ali Sawaf, likes to call a "hobby." He liked to build bombs. In fact, his father states that Mark Sawaf has been hunting since he was 7-years-old and that only has gunpowder in his home for that purpose, but he isn't quite telling the truth.

According to reports, Mark Sawaf ‐ an immigrant from Iraq ‐ liked to build bombs and set them up in various places in the woods of Harlan County alongside trail cameras for reasons only known to him. However, things would take a nasty turn as one of his devices went off, seriously injuring a man in what can only be described as an act of terror.

Once police had learned of the injured man emerging from the woods, they immediately arrested Mark Sawaf and took him to the woods to find the rest of his improvised explosive devices (IEDs). However, while there, the terrorist decided to attack officials in a desperate attempt to get away ‐ but his plan would fail miserably.

In the end, Mark Sawaf was shot and killed on the scene as he tried to flee. Although you would think this would be some pretty serious news, there’s really only one reason that you haven't heard anything about it ‐ and that's because he was a Muslim.

Mark Sawaf's father would have you believe that his son wasn't a threat to anyone and simply died on account of police brutality, but this couldn't have been further from the truth. Ali Sawaf initially admitted that his son had built the bombs himself only to later lie, saying his son had been set up.

"In my book, we have terrorists in this country and we call them the police and the federal agents," Ali Sawaf said.

Of course, this has all been swept under the rug as the news doesn't exactly mesh with the leftist agenda. Muslims doing Muslim things doesn't exactly fit the "moderate" Muslim narrative that the left likes to dangerously spew, so they simply don't report on it.

The left can try to make stories like these disappear, but when they finally come to light, it only goes to show the real reasons they're hiding it. There's a fundamental flaw within the religion of Islam, and it's time for people to start realizing it.

#2  Not at all sure about the source. Not fond of the sneaky headline construction, either.

#3  Here's a better link that you don't have to register to read.

http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/counties/fayette-county/article95247102.html

The guy was a mental health counselor, snicker.

"Sawaf was extremely socially liberal and was an atheist.

More than a decade before Sawaf’s arrest, his father, Ali Sawaf, was convicted on eight charges related to distribution of OxyContin and other painkillers. At the time of his conviction in 2002, Ali Sawaf was a urologist in Harlan County."
