September 18 and it's the same format as the Fox debate with the top ten in the Varsity debate and the anyone pulling one percent in the JV debate.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/17/us/politics/obama-administration-warns-beijing-about-agents-operating-in-us.html WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has delivered a warning to Beijing about the presence of Chinese government agents operating secretly in the United States to pressure prominent expatriates — some wanted in China on charges of corruption — to return home immediately, according to American officials. The American officials said that Chinese law enforcement agents covertly in this country are part of Beijing’s global campaign to hunt down and repatriate Chinese fugitives and, in some cases, recover allegedly ill-gotten gains. The Chinese government has officially named the effort Operation Fox Hunt. China pretty much ignores other countries sovereignty when it comes to its warped, primitive law enforcement, and Austrlia and UK are apparently flooded with chinese agents even more so than the United States.

Arsenic Lupin posted:You imagine wrong. Having problems with Social Security, the Veterans' Administration, and other Federal systems? Your local Congressional office (not the national one, the one in your district) is your friend. Call them and they'll do their best to figure out who you should be talking to, and will reach them for you if that looks like the best solution. My daughter volunteered in the local office of our very safe district (nobody even bothered to run against our Rep last election), and a big part of the job was interceding with both government and non-government problems. There's no reason a community outreach center, sponsored by the elected parties, wouldn't have the same effect. And let's be honest, the vast majority of constituent work is stuff like expediting passports or letters of recommendations to officer school.

You're going to get all 6 parties or whatever to agree to work together? That's utterly ridiculous. And if there's multiple sponsored by each party, how do you know which one can actually do poo poo for you?

A not-insignificant amount money from mainland China with questionable origin has been used to purchases houses to keep it out of reach of clawbacks by the Chinese government. This has happened to a lesser extent in some big US markets as well. Shifty Pony fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Aug 17, 2015 |

NYC is rich fucks from everywhere in the world buying property through shell corps. Vancouver is much more dominated by money from China. he Canada Debt Bubble thread is hard to read because of all the circlejerking over the collapse of the oil sands industry but you can find articles like this out there which paint an astonishing picture of the market: quote:Local real estate company Macdonald Realty Ltd says buyers with cash from mainland China accounted for 70 per cent of the firm’s sales in 2014 of single-family homes, condos and townhomes over $3 million in Vancouver, including the west side, east Vancouver and the downtown core. Now granted those numbers are from a RE firm which has a satellite office in Shanghai but still that's nuts.

One thing that is sort of fascinating is that, even in the 2012 clown car, Mitch was only ever playing second fiddle to the flavor of the week (I think he may have been third fiddle for exactly one polling period). Now, the presumptive nominee is polling in a extreme distant fourth, even with similar periods of time until the election.

God I love that poll. It's great how with Trump so far in front it makes the more "dangerous" candidates work that much hard. From a Democratic position, it's great to see how those guys will have to spend more money fighting off Trump, and getting single digits in the polls will not help your fundraising efforts.

Hollismason posted:I missed this post but does anyone have a link to a in depth story of how this challenge was accomplished? The challenge was just a lawsuit brought by, among others, The League of Women Voters against the Florida Legislature for violating the Florida Constitution. Since Florida's Constitution has anti gerrymandering language, it's pretty easy to show the court a map of District 5 and all but rest your case. The complainants were further aided by mountains of evidence that the Republicans had closed door meetings with lobbying groups to develop a map as favorable to Republicans as possible. I don't have an article here at work, but it was all very blatant and this is the second time the courts have told the Legislature they done wrong on the maps. zoux posted:Reminder that everyone who works for the Perry campaign is now working for free because his warchest is empty.
