The GIF ticket
Hardass realist McAfee is welcoming his "opponent" Lincoln Chafee to the "candidates" for the Libertarian Party. Chafee is famous for ..... um ...... pause for googling ..... Aha! Famous for supporting the metric system, and for never knowing where he actually stands. Not a paradox, since the metric system was designed to destroy our natural sense of place and measure.
One nice thing about this pair: If these two end up as the P and VP candidates, they will be the first ticket representable as a blinkyGIF.
Incidentally, McAfee has managed a neat trick. If we can believe his story, he has taken refuge in sane Russia, but without exactly mentioning it. He's also not mentioning how the refuge happened.
The fact that Russia allowed him to settle is a valid measurement of his intentions. Unlike the metric system, Russia is a trustworthy calibration standard for trustworthiness. If Russia allows you to take refuge, you're unquestionably NOT Deepstate.
