Slimy Trump Says He Plans To Steal Bernie Sanders’ Platform In The General
Source: Ring of Fire
Donald Trump may talk a big talk about politicians and their scheming ways, but then he openly declares that he intends to take on a popular platform of another candidate. On Wednesday morning with five more states in his pocket, Trump did the on-the-phone circuit of news media, bragging about his wins and beginning to turn his negative attention toward the Democratic race.
Trump was asked about Bernie Sanders and the real estate mogul showed respect for his Democratic opponent, at least in terms of the ways that Sanders has attacked Clinton so far.
“Well Bernie Sanders has a message that’s interesting. I’m gonna be taking a lot of things that Bernie’s said and, uh, using them. I can reread some of his speeches, I can get some, y’know, in many ways, she shouldn’t be there. He said some things about her that are actually surprising.”
“He said that she’s got bad judgement. When he said ‘bad judgement,’ I said ‘Sound bite!'”

So Trump plans to run to the right of Hillary Clinton, and to the left
of Hillary Clinton.
George W. Bush clung tightly to Al Gore in September and October 2000
with innocent sounding statements that echoed Gore closely.
Don't say it can't happen again.
Hillary Clinton will not get much air space from the media, which is to
say she'll have difficulty delineating differences with Trump.
It's a short article, but be sure to read the whole thing if you have time.
Supreme Court to Decide Whether States Can Make You Leave Your Fourth Amendment Rights at the DMV
Can states make you abandon your Fourth Amendment rights if you want to enjoy the “privilege” of driving? That’s the question at the heart of one of the most consequential cases that the Supreme Court will decide this term, in terms of practical impact upon ordinary Americans. Birchfield v. North Dakota involves challenges to Minnesota and North Dakota statutes that make it a crime for drivers to refuse warrantless chemical tests of their blood, breath, or urine to detect the presence of alcohol. The Supreme Court consolidated three cases to be reviewed. Two involved individuals who were convicted for declining to take a blood test and a breath test, respectively; the third involved an individual who refused field sobriety tests, was taken to a hospital and subjected to a blood test, and was later convicted of drunk driving.

Hope they apply this to employment screening too. It's intrusive, embarrassing, annoying, and
logically backwards (guilty until proven innocent).
How to Hack an Election
http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-how-to-hack-an-election/"When Peña Nieto won, Sepúlveda began destroying evidence. He drilled holes in flash drives, hard drives, and cell phones, fried their circuits in a microwave, then broke them to shards with a hammer. He shredded documents and flushed them down the toilet and erased servers in Russia and Ukraine rented anonymously with Bitcoins. He was dismantling what he says was a secret history of one of the dirtiest Latin American campaigns in recent memory.
For eight years, Sepúlveda, now 31, says he traveled the continent rigging major political campaigns. With a budget of $600,000, the Peña Nieto job was by far his most complex. He led a team of hackers that stole campaign strategies, manipulated social media to create false waves of enthusiasm and derision, and installed spyware in opposition offices, all to help Peña Nieto, a right-of-center candidate, eke out a victory. On that July night, he cracked bottle after bottle of Colón Negra beer in celebration. As usual on election night, he was alone."
