Funny - a day after The Guardian talked about the phasing out of the first serious military drone as a time of reflection, Trump goes and gives the CIA to use drones whenever. 

As the story goes, Hillary wasn't willing to spend a lousy $5 mill on analytics, Trump was, and so he won.

(Kinda like the Orban cannon that brought down the Byzantine Empire? perhaps an overstretch comparison)

Anyway, the author provides several links to debunk this story & Cambridge Analytica's effectiveness. Of course folks on the winning side can say pretty much anything, but that don't make it true.

Yes, it's time to consider how much Wikileaks is working in tandem with whom.

Yes, just 8 years agi weas tried to work with them and between obstruction and sowing chaos, they accused Obama of destroying the Constitution. Well, we've learned some lessons, it appears. Pull my finger and kick the football just aren't appealing. And Obama has set some things in motion that are difficult to unravel. Guess they thought Kenya boy would go for easy self-immolation. Revenge, in this case, is a dish best served slow and easy, the best way to make someone in too much of a self-assured hurry to eat shit.

Pretty impressive stuff from the few samples displayed.

That didn't take long for Sesaions' inner schmuck to appear.

Good luck on any government support on voter suppression the next 4 years. Hopefully enough judicial independence (the judges themselves) to goad them into some action.

As AA noted, Route 66 used to be *the* way to escape the madness. I used to be hellbent on 20 hour drive-a-thons to whatever sector of the country or side of the border till I figured out planes fly, cars sink, so as to outmaneuver the coasts. I was amazed meeting an Oregon woman in her 30's who'd never been to the ocean 100 miles away. Seems the post-war wanderlust has largely subsided, 

Once they have the airport in working order, it will be 1000x easier to provision the allied troops. Say bye-bye, you ISIS bastards. 

Oh, and yes, Trump will take credit for it, though it was Putin's moderation that did it, while Obama & Hillary will always be warmongers - I know the rules.

Ignoring targeted voter suppression really is one of the scandals. Argument: "Why didn't you win? 97% of your voters were allowed to vote"

Other takeaways are the overreliance on TV ads still, and this:

When presidential candidate Donald Trump says, ” You know we are going to take back our country. Yes, we absolutely are going to take back our country, believe that,” he is having a racial conversation. Our response to that conversation can’t be, “We are going to raise your minimum wage.”

and this:

Apparently cheaper than expected. 

Which one makes people feel positive about themselves. I still think welfare reform was needed in the 90s to break the flow. How it ended under Bush etc is another matter.

Message from this installation - it was more demographic shifts & overall messaging/strategy, not the GOTV driver or any particular state.
