Arguably one of the few good things that's come out this summer, loved every second of it.

 

11 looks so bad ass.

Promises and Price Tags: A Fiscal Guide to the 2016 Election

According to our central estimates, both candidates would worsen the debt relative to today’s level as well as projected levels under current law. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that, under current law, nearly $10 trillion will be added to the debt over the next ten years, bringing debt to 86 percent of GDP by 2026. Clinton would add a further $250 billion to the debt over a decade, bringing it to 87 percent of GDP by 2026. Over the same period, Trump would add $11.5 trillion, causing debt to rise to 127 percent of GDP by 2026.

PS: Washington Post reporter ‪@Fahrenthold‬ has been trying to track down the charities Trump has allegedly donated to (spoiler: not having much luck) and is a really interesting follow.

 

From what I gather he's been donating a lot to the Human Fund.

 

I believe that his foundation (other people's money) is where most is coming from ....

Five questions we still can’t answer about Donald Trump’s charity donations

(Edit: Nice joke tho. Money for People.)

Weird.

 

Gary Johnson is stoner ron paul college kid all grown up

 

I like that pourmecoffee is verified. Hahaha.

 

Looking to verify your Twitter account? Now you can — here’s how

 

Yeah, basically most people I know are getting rejected from it, been a big thing going around the tech community lately about who is getting in and who isn't. Been kind of a mess IMO. Plenty of people that should be verified, and are harassed daily on Twitter, got rejected. Big huge publication writers got rejected.

(Chorus got rejected even though @AbsolutePunk was verified. So did Encore. I didn't even try with my own account.)

 

So I probably shouldn't even try with mine considering I only tweet once or twice a month and have like 40 followers

 

I don't really have any clue what goes on in their black box. (That company is in trouble IMO.)

 

That six percent for trump will forever confuse me. And anger me.

 

I'd like to think the 6% Sanders voters are people who are generally conservative, but supported Bernie because they thought he was an honest guy and are now reverting back to their status quo.

 

Trying not to laugh.

 

Weld actually doesn't seem too bad to me. I certainly don't agree with him on policy, but he's considerably less moronic and seems more grounded than Johnson. That's a superficial take, obviously.

 

Definitely depressing. Outright shameful. Applied to Chelsea Manning is heartbreaking. She should be awarded for what she did.
