Week 8
News
Justice Antoin Scalia has passed away.
Badabim, badabum
Eeeyyyy, why are u busting my balls over heeereee..
Eyyyyy..
Republican Leadership
Obama should not appoint the Scalia replacement.
That is ludicrous
For his third appointment, one could expect Bam, maybe, to be more watchful of the balance of the court as Reagan was for his (he appointed Justice Kennedy who became a swing vote in today’s court), but I don’t think Republican leadership can demand another ultra-convervative paisan Roman-Catholic from New Jersey. Effin Pope himself would be okay - not another Scalia.
Trump Employees in Chicago
Ha ha ha
His employees have the right idea…
I guess I am not the only one who took a Trump in the Trump Tower. Mine was in NY though - more valuable.
Info
There is a basketball court on the top floor of the U.S. Supreme Court building. It’s known as the “highest court in the land”.
Nice
Boston Dynamics [owned by Google] released a video of its latest robot, Atlas.
Excellent
Its walking ability, balance seem quite advanced. Exciting development.
Comment
Why are there so many anti-establishment candidates [..]
Anti what?
This word is sometimes used to describe Bernie Sanders for example - but they forget the man has been in Congress for decades, and was a mayor before that. So Bernie is also “the establishment”, but he is from a different part of the establishment that won some of the recent elections. That’s all.
Broadly speaking, I don’t think the public will benefit from simply electing an outsider to work inside the existing system - like The Trump. Either the system changes wholesale, becomes something else obviating this incessant need for saviors, heroes who over-promise and under-deliver, or, incremental improvements are made in the right direction by experienced operators who know the system inside-out. Hillary could probably do that, Bernie as well (my #2 choice). On the Republican side it could be Rubio; he seems to be the least insane among the others.
