I will not vote for Hillary (analysis appended).

          Dreamers like the story of the pebble that falls from a tiny ledge to hit a slightly larger rock that is balanced on the verge of toppling off a slightly larger ledge. If the conditions downslope are just right that tiny disturbance generates an enormous cascade.

No, Mr. Sorkin, "Capitalism" didn't do that.

I watched the Maher show earlier this morning, and the followup on Youtube. The guests included Barbara Boxer, Katie Packer, Andrew Ross Sorkin, Ana Marie Cox and Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine). The latter was basically the lone sane voice, when it came to the brief discussion of capitalism and socialism, both during the show and "overtime." But he was all but shouted down when he tried to school the panelists and Maher on their errors.

So servants of The Kenyan, they are asking the Congress to give them some laws that would explicitly permit the FBI to access people's intertubes browser history, and various other electronic data, and without a warrant.

FBI Director James Comey, he says the FBI actually already possesses such authority. Except said authority has been obscured by a "typo," introduced into the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. One that has encouraged certain Bad and Wrong companies to decline to provide tubular underpants-sniffing info that Congress clearly wished them to share with the FBI. This "scrivener's error," intones Comey, it is "needlessly hamstringing our counterintelligence and counterterrorism efforts."

Oh. Poor babies.

An explosive new report reveals just what it is that the FBI is looking to: emails in which then-Secretary of State Clinton approved CIA drone assassinations in Pakistan with her cellphone.

From 2011 on, the State Department had a secret arrangement with the CIA, giving it a degree of say over whether or not a drone killing would take place.
