    Years ago, I would get mad like this at posters here.

    This is a message board, man. Relax.

    You can't write 500 words until you know how to write 6,000.

    I won't be able to get anything done today until I know that the mayor of New York, a city I have never set foot in, properly labels this.

    What does it say about Trump that he's so willing to copycat someone he has labeled as "crooked?"

    Haven't we already stipulated that Trump is the worst, most racist, person to ever seek the presidency?

    Why do you insist on only ever holding your preferred politicians to the low bar of George W. Bush, and now Donald Trump?

    Google "sample proportion standard error," take a look at that formula, and then think about how small it'd be if you put 25,000 there where n is.

    Leaked court documents from ‘John Doe investigation’ in Wisconsin lay bare pervasive influence of corporate cash on modern US elections

    Because Scott Walker asked. That could stand as an elegant catchphrase for the state of democracy in the US today, where elections are lost or won as much according to candidates’ ability to attract corporate cash as by the strength of their leadership or ideas.

    The phrase is to be found within a batch of 1,500 pages of leaked documents obtained by the Guardian that are being published in their entirety for the first time. The cache consists of a stack of evidence gathered by official prosecutors in Wisconsin who were conducting what was called a “John Doe investigation” into suspected campaign finance violations by Walker's campaign and its network.

    The John Doe files published today open a door onto how modern US elections operate in the wake of Citizens United, the 2010 US supreme court ruling that unleashed a flood of corporate money into the political process. They speak to the mounting sense of public unease about the cosy relationship between politicians and big business, and to the frustration of millions of Americans who feel disenfranchised by an electoral system that put the needs of corporate donors before ordinary voters.
