The Next President of the United States

[Marky147]

Marianne Williamson is running low on finance, so she has laid off her entire campaign team and has..........not dropped out. She is going to stay in the race without any staff and struggle on with a few volunteers. Her staffing is believed to have peaked at around 45 people a while ago, not that many compared with some others (Warren and Sanders have 500-600 on their payrolls). Williamson will struggle to register with voters without any staff, but she was on 0% with them, so she may as well not waste the money. After she made it into the second debate, Ted Cruz' campaign manager tweeted that Republicans should donate $1 each to her campaign to help keep her on the stage for future ones, and quite a few did. It would be a pity if she does drop out - there is a fair amount of mileage still to had from her.

Brilliant

This guy is inspirational. I'd vote for him.

On the mark, though.

Something wrong with this picture?

CNBC messed up this gallery of the candidates, showing a pic of Kirsten Gillibrand, who dropped out a few months ago, instead of Tulsi and some other Yang instead of Yang, giving ammunition to the conspiracy theorists who claim the main media are trying to undermine these two candidates.

In case you haven't kept up, from the 'You Couldn't Make It Up' Department:

- The Iraqi government released a letter it claimed it had received from the head of US forces in Iraq, saying that those forces are being withdrawn.
- The Joint Chiefs of Staff held a press conference, saying the letter was a fake and the Iraqis were engaged in "active disinformation".
- A few minutes after wrapping up, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs came back to the press and said he had just learned that the letter was real, but that it was a draft which had been sent to the Iraqis by accident. However, the content was wrong and the US is not pulling out.

Where do you start? Catastrophic action occurring by accident is one of the dangers of the brinkmanship they engage in. If they can screw things up to the extent of writing a draft letter (which was the opposite of the final decision), and then actually sending it, accidentally, to the Iraqis while the policy was still being decided, with all the potential repercussions of that, what else might they do by accident?

It beggars belief.

Representatives are currently voting.

The difference in the process is interesting. They have different periods (fifteen minutes in this case) to vote electronically, and everyone can see how it's going the whole way through.
