Trickledown economics is ******** in my opinion, but I'm sure there are economists out there who think it still works, sure. I was aware that it had risen in several major cities as the report shows and is titled, but I'm pretty sure it is down overall, nationally, as has been the trend in previous years. That said, my city, Las Vegas, it's up, and yes, it is worrying and is a problem. I'd say the ISIS movement started and gathered momentum amid the chaos that was Iraq after the second war. How has it been handled since? Could it have been better? Probably. Is the answer joining Putin in bombing the **** out of the Syrians? Trump says it is. Oh, she's not the right person, give me Bernie any day. Yep, he's a ****. We can agree on that.

A few points. He mentions the post recession sluggish economy - fair enough, it is pretty crap but fails to mention sustained growth for 7 years in a row and decent job growth. (The author's champion said unemployment was at 40% at one point last year). He declares that Trump's tax cuts will let the economy prosper with trickle down economics..hmmm. Racial tension is leading to riots...um yes. How is Trump going to handle that little nugget? Violent crime is up sharply? No, it's actually down. The destabilisation in the middle east and ISIS had much to do with the vacuum left in Iraq, again, did not come about due to the last administration's actions. He says how Trump will restore international relations. How? With Russia perhaps. It reads as a cherry picked Trump manifesto and a lot of non-truths thrown in for good measure. I'm not suggesting Obama has been terrific in the last 8 years and that Hillary will somehow make things wonderful but this blind assertion that Trump is the answer is ludicrous.

He may be educated but there's an awful lot of ******** in that article. It's at least, a bit more coherent than post 305 for example.

Hmmmm, changed my mind overnight about this. Today's growing list of GOP people jumping ship seems to indicate that they're saving face, throwing in the towel and will direct funding towards Senate seats instead. I think he's toast. Can't wait for the debate tomorrow.

Nah...nothing to see here. His supporters love this sort of thing. Shows he's a man's man and all that. He's done and said worse to jeopardise the female vote, but there are still women out there who would like him as president.

Our Capital One Cup game against Palace seems to have disappeared from FSP schedule, oh well. I just got a one month free trial of FSP through Directv, although I'm not so sure there will be any more Saints games within the month...and I'm not paying any money for their non-HD service. Pity that the UEFA channels have gone from Directv's lineup...

Fox Soccer Plus 2pm PST Thurs. delayed - Saints vs Sparta And also week after, they are showing the Palace/Saints cup game. Am hoping that Directv Europa channels 480-489 come through again for some Saints games later on.

Yeah I missed that, wanted to watch it. Switched off HBO for the time being until Westworld starts in the autumn...

Go and binge watch Stranger Things on Netflix. It's really good. 80's style scifi/horror/mystery. Think The Goonies/ET/x Files rolled into one.

I'm afraid that it's going to take an almighty push by the Hilary campaign to de-rail the Trump juggernaut. Next week is the Dem convention and I hope they've got some trump cards up their sleeve, get tough and call him out successfully enough to convince the electorate....and don't stop until November, because so far, they've failed.

Ordered the big headphones, small ones, speaker and battery pack. Haven't had time to inspect them myself but Alex is impressed!

Son's going to be very happy...cheers!

This. Makes going into the summer more positive for the club knowing what kind of a schedule we will be facing.

Ah ********. Been spoiled rotten by NBC in the last few years. I don't miss the FOX/ESPN coverage one bit. (I just hope Tommy Smyth stays away from the tournament)

The ending was a cracker, not the way I was expecting it to finally pan out. Glad they are making a fourth series and I hope they can retain the high standards we have seen so far.

Nooooooo. That'll completely fook my fantasy team. Priorities.

If Liverpool do not win the EL, Man Utd win the FA cup and finish 4th, and Man City win the UCL and finish 5th (or 6th or 7th), would the the final league table look like this in terms of qualification? 1st UCL 2nd UCL 3rd UCL 4th Man Utd UCL 5th Man City UCL 6th EL 7th EL 8th EL EDIT - oh, I think it's been answered already earlier in the thread. Never mind..

Some Stones related tracks - You can Always get what you Want, Gimme (lots of) Shelters, Sympathy for the Devil, Brown Sugar Daddy, Time is Not on my Side, and many more...

FYI, if anyone is looking at the delegate count so far for the Dems, it reads 502 Clinton, 70 Sanders. However, it's very much a dead heat at 50 'real' delegates or so each. The huge number for Clinton is down to superdelegate* votes which at the moment align to Clinton, but if Sanders was seen as winning more of the popular vote, those superdelegates would switch to him. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate

Maybe it was this. http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/22/politics/donald-trump-black-lives-matter-protester-confrontation/ A campaign spokesperson immediately condoned the violent actions. Trump a day later says it was fine. LOL. He doesn't care.

Trump almost wins mong of the day, but Jeb trumps him with this little nugget... http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-35594007

Oh great, Ralph Nader again. If he runs as an independent, he'll steal more Democrat votes than Republican ones = President Trump.

Not so sure that Sanders is as unelectable as I thought any more. Great night for him in the primary (although Iowa is not very indicative of the bigger picture) but also as a presidential candidate who polls remarkably well put head to head with trump. I think that Hilary could be torn apart over the email scandal. Republicans are very effective at fear mongering and smear campaigning. Sanders could be the best bet to stand a chance of beating trump or Cruz
