And Indians, since it's the largest muslim country in the world.

You may have (partially) dropped the troll persona, but you're still just as clueless as you've always been.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I thought India had the second largest Muslim population, after Indonesia.

havent voted.

fwiw, the rcp betting odds that had trump at 30% a couple days ago are down to 16%.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Yo.  Polls open at 7am on Tuesday, but I'll be there around 6:30ish to get in line.

Are you going to make arrangements to dump all your make-believe money when the God Emperor assumes his Throne of Skulls and crashes the global economy on Wednesday?  Or are you going to see what happens, like with the Brexit crash?

I have to ask what the FBI director think he is doing.  He must be aware that the email case is ultra politically sensitive.  Yet he chooses to release these statements that ultimately amount to nothing just before the election.  It is becoming hard for me to believe that these actions are not politically motivated.

But assuming that Trump wins the election, everything he says afterwards carry much weight, even before January.  Say he wins the election and announces the next day that he will default on US treasury bonds, the market will react very strongly.

I'm going to proceed on the assumption that the Trump discount is already baked into the current prices.  I.e., do nothing.

Mono: no clue why you're upset by this latest letter.  Would you prefer he not have issued it?

If it decreases the chance of a Trump presidency, I am happy.  Yet I am still upset because these letters seem most inappropriate for a government bureaucrat to issue.  It smells like a blatent attempt to influence the election.
