@Doctor-Phibes said in "Operating Expenditures" at the Lincoln Project: Actually, 100K a month isn't that much. It's pretty easy to get through $2K in a week on expenses, so if there's 10 of them, that would do it - 5 of them if they're staying in swanky city hotels and living large. Yep, I agree. I one time had to fly Thailand - US - Thailand and then about 5 days later, Thailand - US - Vietnam. Plane tickets alone for just those flights were about USD$12K or more. Plus other expenses and that was only in a two week period.

'Excessively villifying' Hillary. As though that was possible.

Ohr’s wife was a contractor at Fusion GPS with the thumb drive. But nobody gives a shit about this stuff. Schiff acts like he would be so appalled by this kind of stuff. Hahaha Hey Schiff care to rebutt the Nunez report again. Nah I didn’t think so.

@bachophile said in Chicago on Zoom: What it’s called when the cover band is better than the original? I dunno. I saw the recent incarnation of the original in Fall 2019. They were pretty darn good...

It's going to be covered. With a pillow, until it quits moving...

@Klaus said in Apple announces new iPhones and stuff.: @xenon said in Apple announces new iPhones and stuff.: @George-K yeah, I don't even see a single use case. No one downloads gargantuan files on cellular. LTE is almost good enough for full 4K - which would be ridiculous on a 6 inch screen. Maybe there's some use-case for super low latency... haven't really seen it for a smartphone. I think the main reason for 5G isn't its maximum speed, but the speed it can deliver when many users use the same tower concurrently. If you sit in an airport and 300 people use the same mobile access point, then you need to divide the max speed by 300. That said, I agree that 5G isn't very useful at the moment. Right - but even that is an argument for lowering wireless carrier capex rather than a novel new end-user experience. With enough LTE access points, even dense gathers can have good coverage - it's a matter of infrastructure outlay.

Gotta be careful about those parallel universes. [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Fwww.thetopicistrek.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F01%2Fburnhamandtilly_tongue_2-540.gif%3Fresize%3D525%252C243&f=1&nofb=1]

"They don't deserve to know." "You have to pass it to see what's in it." Nice. ETA: "Dancing with the Tsars." LOL.

@George-K said in Trump has no credibility with his own Dept. of Justice: @George-K said in Trump has no credibility with his own Dept. of Justice: At the most basic level The President has authority to declassify anything and everything he wants. That said, whether that actually happens in this case is another question, as the article says. DOJ (which, last time I looked is in the Executive Branch) can say, "We shouldn't." But, it can't say, "We won't." He hasn't given the order, so they are assuming they can stop declassification. ETA: What are the odds that TRump doesn't know what's in those documents? I'd guess slim. I think you are right. LOL There may be nothing in there. But this way, he can say to the US public that he is trying to show the corruption. His supporters are happy with his effort. Nothing will happen until after the election and then it won't be important, because at that point, he has either won or lost another term.

I can see that doing well in other countries as well.

There is no "purple tide"... Hahahahaaa

He sent me some of his holiday snaps...here's one of the few I can share on a family site [image: swarajya%2F2019-08%2F73c502a2-7818-48c1-a018-a74ee2f8437a%2Fgoat.jpg?w=640&q=75&auto=format%2Ccompress]

@Mik said in Meanwhile, in Cleveland...: Yeah I keep hearing it touted as the miracle drug. I am reminded of all the snake oil elixirs of days past. Mrs. George went to see her internist the other day, and I accompanied her. We got to talking about that and he said that in his practice, he has never seen a more varied reaction to a therapy. Some people say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, others just go "meh." Any other drug would be more rigorously tested to prove effectiveness. But no...

What if it was as simple as America was not ready for a female president?

Does that mean Dems are the feces on the other side?
