Trump's malignant narcissism won't let him be subordinate to someone else. So that idea is out.

Carr continued: "The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct — a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns."

Waiting for Fox News to be called out...

Bezos probably does give a shit about using WaPo as influence though, so whilst he might not be losing money, he's certainly losing influence (however small that may be).

And it's not necessarily influence over the election, but influence over Amazon's presentation in WaPo to its readers.

If 10% of WaPo's subscribers aren't reading WaPo anymore, as is the implication with cancelling their subscription, then Bezos loses that influence, however small, with those people.

Can't be. Dude's not mellow, chill, or cool.

Same here, still on Windows 10 though it's desperately trying to reinstall it's crapware removed from the image with NTLite.

Will be switching to some flavour of Linux at some point (we also use this PC for some Steam games), so I'll check SteamOS out!

The other important thing to consider: polls are a snapshot in time.

They are not a predictor. The only poll that matters is election day.

Donald Trump had a full-blown meltdown

How many more meltdowns before he becomes an angry puddle of orange faeces?

Imagine the rioting from the GOP if Obama had worn a tan suit for that speech...

A new poll shows 56% of Floridians plan to vote for Amendment 4, but unless the measure to enshrine a right to abortion in the state Constitution wins 60% of the vote in November, the state will continue to live under a six-week ban.

The bottom line is, the city is suffering, and Donald Trump is still holding fundraisers, many of them themed on the assassination attempt — the reason the road is closed in the first place.

Perhaps one silver lining of Trumps scandal-after-scandal aura: the assassination attempt was just over a month ago, and it seems that almost everyone has forgotten about it.

Teflon Don perhaps works both ways.

It's kind of already happened. Three hundred and fifty-odd free evaluations!

I wish we had that level of care. /s
