Family relationships by marriage don’t need to be defended. But whether or not Hillary is “close” to Wall Street, she’s still a nigh-infinitely better choice to be president than Trump. ---

> [@foolsguinea](#): > > If party loyalty is important enough that anti-corruption Democrats should line up behind Ms. Corruption, why does anyone bother to denounce Republicans who line up behind Trump? Ms. Crookery Clinton has committed so many crimes, I’ve lost track. Which specific one are you referring to here, **foolsguinea**? - The Whitewater Massacre back in the 1980’s - Hiring a joint Mossad-FSB task force to take out the Ambassador in Benghazi - Her secret speech at Goldman Sachs — What she said there is still unknown, but I think she promised to annex the Rothschild’s Gold Mountain once she’s commander-in-chief - The Vince Foster murder - Hiring the Jewish handmaiden with the stained dress for nights when Hillary had a headache - The 1971 skyjacking? — The same FBI that let her go on the other charge, has now stopped pursuing D.B. Cooper. Coincidence? I didn’t think so - As far as I know, Hillary has never presented an alibi for the Zodiac killings. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > “Grampa? What’s a ‘record’?” It’s cool for you fogeys to say this, but vinyl has never fully gone out of fashion and it is, in fact, still being pressed specifically to cater to a younger audience who prefers it to any other medium due to its specific sound. True, that audience is in a minority, but I will say that the not-especially-large town of Missoula, Montana has a store devoted to selling vinyl records. Frankly, CDs and tapes will die before vinyl does. Vinyl has too much cachet. ---

> [@digs](#): > > I have a student who would post LOVELOVELOVEBERNIE! > She now says HATEHATEHATEBERNIE! > sigh… Which was one of my arguments against Bernie and his cult during the primaries. That group is so amazingly fickle, they would have turned on Bernie even if he was the nominee. They’re like the hipsters that turn on their favorite indie band the second they get popular. It’s useless to appeal to those voters. Thankfully, they’re a very small, although incredibly noisy voter subset. ---

Yes–I’ve read about 85% of Bernie’s supporters have moved on over. The rest are probably the loons who vote for Nader or other nobodies (like the Ron/Rand Paul), believe themselves to be ideologically “pure” because they never vote for anyone who could win an election, and were never seriously in play for any Democratic candidate that would actually win the nomination. I genuinely think those people would have possibly abandoned Bernie as the nominee because he almost certainly would’ve adopted some centrist positions under extreme duress from the party establishment (because honestly in a world where Bernie won the nomination, he’d have had to be flexible enough to do that, Real Life Bernie maybe isn’t–but also was never going to be the nominee.) ---

Is it Trump’s “Man Sack?” Cuz I’d consider that more orange that gold. I DO wonder if Trump’s public hair is a combover of hair from his taint.
