I got this from the BBC:

The man suspected of driving the truck which killed nine people came from Pakistan to Germany on 16 February 2016 as a refugee, Welt (in German) reports sources as saying. But there is no independent confirmation of this claim.

I can hardly wait for Trump to kick out 2 million criminals. I will feel a lot safer then.

78373   Shaman   2016 Dec 19, 6:01pm  

Pakistan? Refugee from what exactly? This is a migration to spread Islam, they call it Hijrah and it's a sacred mission of subjugation of infidels by infiltration.

Hillary loses 4 MORE EC votes compared to election day while Trump only lost 2.

I need to lookup and see if a certain person here was galactically wrong again.

78377   Shaman   2016 Dec 19, 6:14pm  

Epigenetic treatments will render old age a problem for the chronically poor and indigent, leaving the employed a chance to work forever! We will MAGA by living and working forever! If you choose to get old and die, you can pay for it!

If the electorate overrides the election, then it's impossible to make a serious case that voting matters at all.

78380   zzyzzx   2016 Dec 19, 6:43pm  

Hillary today shattered the glass ceiling - Most faithless electors for a Presidential candidate in over 100 years!

You are a loser when you lose to a man named Faith Spotted Eagle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That co-driver should have stayed in Poland. They're smart enough to keep the animals out.

78389   zzyzzx   2016 Dec 19, 8:38pm  

God damn, close all mosques in Europe and kick out all muslims.

I'm shocked. That nice religion being accused of terrorism.

Der Tagesspiegel reported that the suspect, whom the paper said was Afghan or Pakistani, was known to police for multiple minor offenses,

That should be enough to throw them out.

Woop, here it is! --the end of the big dream.

Whoop, there it went!

There would have been more electors defecting FROM Hillary, but there were laws in Maine that require electors to support the pledged candidate. Some states have laws where an elector can't run for somebody who ran in the primaries.

78393   HEY YOU   2016 Dec 19, 8:58pm  

I won't need it. I'm proud of our 5 TIME DRAFT DODGING commander in chief.
Damn! Now I know why he ran for prez. The coward won't have to face the enemy & look him in the eye.
He'll send others to fight & DIE.
g.w. bush 2.0!

I don't see how it works. I took an Uber for $3 as an alternative to driving (gas+aggravation) and parking (rates) this weekend to go shopping. Shopping is something I never do, as I don't support our economy in any other way besides taxes, registration, insurance, Fuck Me fees, and government Here Ya Go's. Between our nascent pubic transport in LA and the in(s)anity of the traffic, Uber can't possibly be making anything. I've noticed the drivers have gone from "Boomer Retiree Looking for Extry Cash during Boredom" to "Jose No Answer de Fone when Lies He is Picking Up Gringo but Stalling So Can Cancel Ride, Hee Heee!".

78395   AllTruth   2016 Dec 19, 9:20pm  

Uber loses 41% on every fare, every mile driven, all the time.

They are still going based on the initial 15 billion in investment they raised in their fundraising rounds (private equity & silicon valley individual investors).

78396   zzyzzx   2016 Dec 19, 9:33pm  

The Answer to 2016 is 1683.

78397   zzyzzx   2016 Dec 19, 9:45pm  

OK, so if I understand this correctly, if I want to help bankrupt a bunch of smug SV assholes quicker, I should ride Uber as much as possible. Right?

Obama and Clinton tried to follow the 13th commandment:

RULE 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame. The real action is in the enemy’s reaction. The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.

78400   HEY YOU   2016 Dec 20, 12:24am  

Clinton lost twice & Democrats march around saying "May I have another."
At least they had a TOKEN BLACK.

78401   joeyjojojunior   2016 Dec 20, 5:03am  

I thought they were called job creators.

78402   BayArea   2016 Dec 20, 5:07am  

what are their losses attributed to?

78403   MMR   2016 Dec 20, 7:15am

do you support reduction of military expenditure and the reinstatement of the draft?

78404   anonymous   2016 Dec 20, 7:53am  

Pullback to $23, buying opportunity?

78405   Dan8267   2016 Dec 20, 8:10am  

I'm not a big fan of trying to time the market. There are many players with access to information sooner than you, that have more experience than you, that control large accounts that sway the market whenever they buy and sell, and that participate in illegal insider trading daily and don't get prosecuted for it. Swimming with these sharks will most likely result in getting eaten.

That said, ARLP has performed worse over the past 10 years than the S&P 500 index. Sure, it had a lot of times where it was profitable to buy or short the stock, but for each dollar made by the winners, more than a dollar was lost by the losers. It's a zero-sum game (negative when costs are applied).

In contrast, the S&P 500 index has done well without the risk of being screwed over by another zero-sum game player with more experience, better access to trades, and insider information. Plus, such players spend all their time trading stocks and the rest of us have actual work to do.

Here's a graph of ARLP vs the S&P 500 over the past 10 years. No cherry-picking of data.

Remember, the best return on your investment comes from lottery tickets, if you know the winning numbers in advanced. The problem is that you don't.

I talked to a Vietnam vet on Sunday. He explained why his hands shook so badly he could barely hold his coffee cup. Agent Orange. He had wanted to go to college out of high school and become a veterinarian. Instead he got drafted and had to serve two years in hell that fucked him up for good.
Considering That Vietnam was a war that wasn't exactly legal and certainly not necessary, I'd give draft dodgers a break on that one.

78407   MisdemeanorRebel   2016 Dec 20, 8:48am  

It would have been 8 total defections from Hillary if some states didn't require their electors to vote as pledged:

In Minnesota, Sanders-supporting Democratic elector Muhammad Abdurrahman reportedly refused to cast a vote, so according to state law, he was replaced with an alternate who did vote for Clinton.
In Maine, Democratic elector David Bright voted for Bernie Sanders at first, but his vote was ruled out of order, and he switched it to Clinton during a revote.
In Colorado, Democratic elector Michael Baca attempted to cast his vote for John Kasich (as part of the failed scheme to convince Trump electors to back a moderate Republican), but he was dismissed and replaced by an alternate, who voted for Clinton.
