Direct current now! Power to the people! These were actual things:

What about those who swing both ways? AC-DC's?

Oh man trump has to be mildly annoyed he can't shut the foundation down while it's still under investigation. Meh, he'll probably just buy them off or give them a job in the AG office and it'll go away as usual.

I really want say, the Cubs to refuse to go to the White House and whiny baby drumpf to go on Twitter saying they were never that good anyway and the Indians were the real champs if not for all those illegal rain delays. Sad!

cubs owners donated millions to the mr brexit campaign

Gotta think Bron might do this after he beats the Warriors again

Short and worthwhile Op-Ed on the misery befalling Venezuela: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...4bf_story.html

I didn't know Venezuela's currency was called the Bolivar, and that amuses me because that is the name of the sewage treatment works here in Adelaide.

I suspect Venezuela will need a military coup or revolution to get rid of the current clowns in control. Unfortunately, once you start a revolution there's no telling what you'll get out of it so it could actually get worse and it's pretty awful right now.

Hopefully the current clowns in charge will just steal as much as they can and flee the country which would allow the recall election to move forward.

70M fraud out of a 75 billion+ program is under 1%, is it time to let millions of people starve to death?

Yes

Betteridge's law of headlines

The power of headlines like that from FOX really shouldn't be underestimated. Rat points out that it's under 1%. I'm sure it's usually at an all time high every year in terms of dollar amounts....

Anyway, reminds me of the Detroit MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS deal that was everywhere. Even after finding out that this isn't the "registered voters" count, but the actual head count of people who showed up to vote that is separate from the count the voting machines keep, I still thought, wow, for this to be so widely talked about, it must be big numbers.

Nope.

77 precincts +1 vote
62 precincts +2 votes
37 precincts +3 votes
20 precincts +4 votes
52 precincts +5 or more votes
81 precincts -1 vote
29 precincts -2 votes
19 precincts -3 votes
7 precincts -4 votes
8 precincts -5 or more votes

I had thought maybe even it was a problem with double counting votes that had to be rescanned after such a large percentage of machines broke down. As the numbers show, nope.

Even more disconcerting, the law is that if the headcount doesn't match the machine total, you can't recount.

what a time to be alive

One of them is governor of my wonderful state

I never had a problem with Obama. I liked him. There were some things he did I disagreed with, but seems like a nice guy, and I thought he did a pretty good job.

The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index for December surged nearly four points to 113.7, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 15 YEARS! Thanks Donald!

Yes, Drumpf actually thanked himself in the third person in a tweet for something that he has literally nothing to do with

A new low

On the plus side #ThanksDonald is trending and hilarious

Best case scenario at this point:
- Trump resigns after a week because of some lol-minor issue.
- Proceeds to still take credit for every good thing happening in the next 4-8 years
- blame Obama/Hillary/Libruls/Muslims/(((Globalists))) for the bad.
