“Bernstein: The implications of all of this [the email server issue] are that Hillary Clinton did not want her emails subjected to the Freedom of Information Act or subpoenas from Congress. And that’s why she set up a home-brew server.
“I think we all know that. People around her will tell you that in private if you really get them behind a closed door.
“I was in Washington this week, I spoke to a number of top Democratic officials and they’re terrified, including people at the White House, that her campaign is in free fall because of this distrust factor. Indeed, Trump has a similar problem, but she’s the one whose numbers are going south.
“And the great hope in the White House, as well as the Democratic leadership and people who support her, is that she can just get to this convention, get the nomination —which they’re no longer 100% sure of — and get President Obama out there to help her, he’s got a lot of credibility, it’s an election that’s partly about his legacy.
“But she needs all the help she can get because right now her campaign is in huge trouble…”

Combustion-Parity — On almost nobody’s radar.
Oil is doomed and not just because of all the things that we know will happen. We know solar is dropping in costs, and wind, storage, geothermal, and tidal power and more. But fossil fuels are really doomed because of all the possibilities of something else coming out of nowhere and contributing significantly to the transition to clean energy. Add up all those slight chances of game-changers in fields like fusion and converting Solar to different types of combustion fuels, factor in nanotechnology and the odds of fossil fuels lasting much longer than another decade go way way down..
“The days of drilling into the ground in the search for fuel may be numbered, because if Daniel Nocera has his way, it’ll just be a matter of looking for sunny skies.”
…
“Scientists have created a system that uses solar energy to split water molecules and hydrogen-eating bacteria to produce liquid fuels. The system can convert solar energy to biomass with 10 percent efficiency, far above the 1 percent seen in the fastest-growing plants.”

“So when you’re putting your name on steaks, and you’re putting your name on water, you’re putting your name on playing cards, you’re putting your name on all this nonsense, right? You’re not gonna make big bucks, no matter what. It’s not like Trump Steaks were gonna make him $100 million. It’s not like they were going make him $5 million.
“I asked, ‘What the hell are you doing? Are you that desperate for money?’ Seriously,” Cuban continued.

Also that the GOP has been pretty crazy for quite a long while now.
Nevertheless they have really outdone themselves this time. No matter what happens in the election, it’s inevitable that this encounter with the greatest conman and grifter of recent American history will leave the Party of Lincoln profoundly changed.

Like Nigerian scam spam, that Trump U ad deliberately warns off the more intelligent and informed, preselecting for extreme vulnerability.
Trump is just one great big walking infomercial.

Do you like living paycheck to paycheck? … Do you enjoy seeing everyone else but yourself in their dream houses and driving their dreams cars with huge checking accounts? Those people saw an opportunity, and didn’t make excuses, like what you’re doing now.
Do something for yourself, you useless bum. Give me all your money.
