Why are there stock images about Waffen-SS soldiers.

Wasn't sure if this should go here, but a deal has been reached with Iran concerning their nuclear program.

The short version of it is, near as I can tell, that Iran will give up about half of its enrichment infrastructure (also forgoing most research toward making existing infrastructure more efficient) and send about 90% of its nuclear fuel to Russia, with restrictions on the amount and grade of fuel they can store at one time. These restrictions will be eased off gradually over the course of the next 10 years. The one reactor they have that's capable of plutonium reprocessing is to be dismantled, but a new one that can't can be installed in its place because facilities are expensive. The IAEA will conduct inspections of Iran's nuclear fuel supply chain, with Iran able to formally object but honestly they don't seem to be able to do more than delay an inspection by a few days. Most of the economic sanctions will be lifted with Iran's compliance with the terms of the agreement, but an embargo preventing import of conventional weapons will remain for another 5 years.

It all actually sounds pretty reasonable.

It seems like the last Iranian elections really did represent a shift in foreign policy.

Gallup issued a separate poll on Tuesday showing 41% of Republicans said they considered Trump a "serious candidate."

We get the performance of our political system we deserve. When people question why we keep getting hacks in government, I hope they remember those pollsters asking them who legitimately has the qualifications to lead.

Trump's campaign slogan really does need to be, "Not the President we need, but the President we deserve."

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Let's just all appreciate that the current frontrunner for GOP presidential nominee product-placed himself in a video game for children.


Actually, his Wiki page in general is a goldmine:

Quote
Beyond his traditional ventures in the real estate, hospitality, and entertainment industries, Trump has established the Trump name and brand in other industries and products. Trump has succeeded in marketing the Trump name on a large number of products, including Trump Financial (a mortgage firm), Trump Sales and Leasing (residential sales), Trump Restaurants (located in Trump Tower and consisting of Trump Buffet, Trump Catering, Trump Ice Cream Parlor, and Trump Bar), GoTrump (an online travel website),[43] Donald J. Trump Signature Collection (a line of menswear, men's accessories, and watches), Donald Trump The Fragrance (2004), Trump magazine, Trump Golf, Trump Chocolate, Trump home (home furnishings), Trump Productions (a television production company), Trump Institute, Trump The Game (1989 board game), Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon (a business simulation game), Trump Books, Trump Model Management, Trump Shuttle, Trump Ice, Trump Mortgage, Trump Vodka, and Trump Steaks.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Gotta wonder if that's his own personal, natural, fragrance. Hell of an ego to plaster his name over so many things. Sure, theres a lot of things named after people, but 99% of them aren't the result of them plastering their name on it.

Anyways, why is Trump even at the top of the polls, or rather HOW EVEN is he there?

Edit: And CNN says that 61% of GOP view Trump unfavorably, yet he's at the top of the polls..... theres a major disconnect here somewhere.

They like the others even less?

The Trump brand probably goes further then the Bush Family brand.  Noone else really has a brand worth noting.  If the Terminator ran for president, he'd probably look pretty decent at the polls too...

Because they've pre-crowned Hillary as the nominee.

Theres also not many lining up and there really isn't anybody with close to the power and influence (and name recognition) that Clinton has, at least among the democrats.
