So the solution to income inequities in our society lays right under our noses, taxation of the haves at levels that can be reinvested in infrastructure, education , retooling our energy grids this is what we should be looking to do and despite Clinton's real and perceived issues she is on the right side of this.

I see zero difference from a practical standpoint it's more personality and perception. We have seen a long drawn out effort starting right after the 2012 election to knock down her numbers starting with switching blame for Benghazi from Obama to her a ploy so obvious as to be described as infantile . The Benghazi fishing expedition begat emailgate and with each released email a story is born and an article written, a nebulous story that has no payoff in actual criminal wrongdoing but a story nonetheless.

I don\'t consider Bill a great president, and consider him to have benefited greatly from the tech bubble all while playing a significant hand in the recession. Obama I don\'t think has been great, but not bad either, which is something that facing our current choices is appreciated. He\'s disappointed me a few times, and his stance on TPP is not something I enjoy. His pivot from Candidate Obama to President Obama is his biggest drawback in my eyes, and I think Hillary will repeat this. Hillary, as Obama said, will say anything she has to. Even in this election, devoid of the past 20 years of her public service, we see examples of her willingness to change her message depending on who she\'s speaking to. *Truly* evolving is one thing, her pandering is just plain lying. I don\'t trust her to do anything she says. Some of her ideas I feel she\'s pulled up too soon on, some I agree with, and some I\'m completely against. That\'s anyone though, including Sanders and Trump, so the difference comes down to what I believe they will truly deliver on and what I believe their true motives to be. Benghazi is a thing, whether the left likes it or not. Did she kill those people? No, but her character was in demonstration, as was the Republicans. They attempted to lay the dead Americans at her feet which isn\'t a good look, but I don\'t very much like her trying to blame the attack on a video while calling it something else in emails. Further, as someone who is both an IT professional and works in a cleared environment, "email-gate" is far from a non-story. I have absolutely no doubt that there was criminal wrongdoing, it\'s a matter of who did it and if they can prove it. The server itself is nothing, a slap on the wrist offense, in addition to the other shady shit that isn\'t technically illegal. The classified material on the server though... That was illegally stored, retained and not returned. That\'s where the fuck up transitions into a criminal fuck up. Regardless of that, is she a criminal bent on world destruction? No. I think very rarely is someone a villain in their own story.

Yeah, the economy may be better under globalist policies but who really benefits from that? [This expiriment with monkeys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL45pVdsRvE) in which they exchanged a task for food I think demonstrates how some Americans feel. Fairness, or the appearance of such trumps all else. Let's be honest, most of us have great opportunity and privilege. You seem to agree on the fundamental problem with some of the 1% soaking up increases in productivity while the middle class declines, so I won't dive further into it. There's a quip talking about how great the economy is under Obama. He's created so many jobs for America that I've got three of them. Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains. Unfortunately, it's how a lot of Americans feel. Clinton offers to continue these policies, and while she plays lip service to the plight of the lamb she herself is among the wolves. So, what then? I don't think there is a good choice. I'm more discontented by the corruption of my team than that of an adversary, and as such I see giving Clinton the nod as a worse move than Trump.

Scotland refused to take her sovereignty two years ago and now look where she is, a pathetic co-dependent who gave herself to the very people that would keep her from getting what she actually wanted.

Any leader who preaches protectionism is having you trade a shitty job for a job that's less shitty but results in less buying power. The globalism trend is inevitable it cannot be stopped because communication, automation and transportation has shrunk our world and will continue to do so. So the solution to income inequities in our society lays right under our noses, taxation of the haves at levels that can be reinvested in infrastructure, education , retooling our energy grids this is what we should be looking to do and despite Clinton's real and perceived issues she is on the right side of this.

The facts seem to strongly dispute your assertion.', ">>{Sidwill} : Let me ask you this, what is the difference between Obama or Bill and Clinton? I see zero difference from a practical standpoint it's more personality and perception. We have seen a long drawn out effort starting right after the 2012 election to knock down her numbers starting with switching blame for Benghazi from Obama to her a ploy so obvious as to be described as infantile . The Benghazi fishing expedition begat emailgate and with each released email a story is born and an article written, a nebulous story that has no payoff in actual criminal wrongdoing but a story nonetheless. Then you have the regurgitated ramblings of the right from the 90's getting play as well. I could go on, but my point is Clinton is just a run of the mill Democrat not some super criminal bent on world destruction like so many posters seem to feel.", '>>{rrobe53} : If you strip the person and look at their ideals, Hillary definitely falls closer to where I would typically vote on the spectrum. I don\'t consider Bill a great president, and consider him to have benefited greatly from the tech bubble all while playing a significant hand in the recession. Obama I don\'t think has been great, but not bad either, which is something that facing our current choices is appreciated. He\'s disappointed me a few times, and his stance on TPP is not something I enjoy. His pivot from Candidate Obama to President Obama is his biggest drawback in my eyes, and I think Hillary will repeat this. Hillary, as Obama said, will say anything she has to. Even in this election, devoid of the past 20 years of her public service, we see examples of her willingness to change her message depending on who she\'s speaking to. *Truly* evolving is one thing, her pandering is just plain lying. I don\'t trust her to do anything she says. Some of her ideas I feel she\'s pulled up too soon on, some I agree with, and some I\'m completely against. That\'s anyone though, including Sanders and Trump, so the difference comes down to what I believe they will truly deliver on and what I believe their true motives to be. Benghazi is a thing, whether the left likes it or not. Did she kill those people? No, but her character was in demonstration, as was the Republicans. They attempted to lay the dead Americans at her feet which isn\'t a good look, but I don\'t very much like her trying to blame the attack on a video while calling it something else in emails. Further, as someone who is both an IT professional and works in a cleared environment, "email-gate" is far from a non-story. I have absolutely no doubt that there was criminal wrongdoing, it\'s a matter of who did it and if they can prove it. The server itself is nothing, a slap on the wrist offense, in addition to the other shady shit that isn\'t technically illegal. The classified material on the server though... That was illegally stored, retained and not returned. That\'s where the fuck up transitions into a criminal fuck up. Regardless of that, is she a criminal bent on world destruction? No. I think very rarely is someone a villain in their own story. If Hillary is what is considered a run of the mill Democrat then my reaction is to dislike all Democrats, not to like her.', '>>{UWantWhatUGet} : I suppose if 17,000,000 people are bigots and racists, then maybe the nation should reflect that in their immigration policy. You can see from the exit polls that areas where people are transient, London and some of the university towns, Brexit was not in favor, but in the areas where families live and there are many refugees, the Brexit was in favor. Now the UK has control over its own destiny w/r/t refugees and more importantly economic migrants - good for them.

The statements were meant to be ludicrous to highlight the point. Listen, I\'m sorry you don\'t get the basic ideas behind international politics. I\'ll try to explain it through logic, but i have my doubts it will reach you. President of Country A, who has a large air force and means to deploy them thousands of miles away, says through a social media platform (where messages are restricted to 140 characters), that they want to create a no fly zone over Country B. Country B has had some tension with country A in the past, and shares a border with country C, who is an ally of Country A through a treaty under a different President of country A. Country C does not have a strong military due to being smaller than country A. The question is, should Country B and Country C take this comment seriously? Obviously, there are two possible answers; yes, or no. Examine the "yes" answer. Now Country B has to assume the new President of Country A wants to put a no fly zone over their country. They need to take immediate preparations, get people on the phones, begin negotiating. Because of the unofficial nature of the statement\'s release by President of A (due to the President of A not holding regular press conferences), things are especially confusing. Country C sees the military action in country B and begins to get worried. They recall how the President of A had made some very nationalistic, isolationist remarks. Should they try to find other allies? Back to country C. They now are ready for Country A to try an place a no fly zone on them. If that zone materializes, they are prepared. If it never gets put into action, at least they were ready for it. Assume that the first case is a win for them, resulting in a 1. The second case is neither a win nor a loss, resulting in a 0. If they had assumed the President of A was not serious, then they would not have taken action to prepare. If the no fly zone had not materialized, then the result would be the same, if not slightly better. If however, they assumed the comment wasn\'t serious but it actually was, now there is a no fly zone over their country and they were not prepared for it. This is a the worst case scenario for them. The first case is neither a win nor a loss, resulting in a 0. The second case, however, is a unequivocal loss, resulting in a -1. One choice roughly leads to either an outcome of 1, or an outcome of 0. The other choice roughly leads to an outcome of 0, or an outcome of -1. The choice then becomes obvious, right? The point is, other countries HAVE to take what our President says seriously. It\'s how the game of international politics is played. They don\'t have the luxury of saying "oh, he wasn\'t being serious, he was just joking". This process is completely divorced from human nature. It\'s a rational assessment of risk using game theory.

They have a fragile ego and an itchy trigger finger. The President makes a comment about taking military action against them, and does so AGAIN via a tweet. It turns out the comment wasn\'t serious, according to the PR people, but that Dictator has already taken hostage several American businessmen in response to the tweet. That non serious tweet just created a serious international problem.

Trump has promised, regarding the minimum wage, the following things: 1) Leave the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, which is already too high. 2) Raise the federal minimum wage to $10 per hour, as $7.25 is too low and “the minimum wage has to go up.” 3) Allow states to set their own minimum wage.

The statements were meant to be ludicrous to highlight the point. Listen, I\'m sorry you don\'t get the basic ideas behind international politics. I\'ll try to explain it through logic, but i have my doubts it will reach you. President of Country A, who has a large air force and means to deploy them thousands of miles away, says through a social media platform (where messages are restricted to 140 characters), that they want to create a no fly zone over Country B. Country B has had some tension with country A in the past, and shares a border with country C, who is an ally of Country A through a treaty under a different President of country A. Country C does not have a strong military due to being smaller than country A. The question is, should Country B and Country C take this comment seriously? Obviously, there are two possible answers; yes, or no. Examine the "yes" answer. Now Country B has to assume the new President of Country A wants to put a no fly zone over their country. They need to take immediate preparations, get people on the phones, begin negotiating. Because of the unofficial nature of the statement\'s release by President of A (due to the President of A not holding regular press conferences), things are especially confusing. Country C sees the military action in country B and begins to get worried. They recall how the President of A had made some very nationalistic, isolationist remarks. Should they try to find other allies? Back to country C. They now are ready for Country A to try an place a no fly zone on them. If that zone materializes, they are prepared. If it never gets put into action, at least they were ready for it. Assume that the first case is a win for them, resulting in a 1. The second case is neither a win nor a loss, resulting in a 0. If they had assumed the President of A was not serious, then they would not have taken action to prepare. If the no fly zone had not materialized, then the result would be the same, if not slightly better. If however, they assumed the comment wasn\'t serious but it actually was, now there is a no fly zone over their country and they were not prepared for it. This is a the worst case scenario for them. The first case is neither a win nor a loss, resulting in a 0. The second case, however, is a unequivocal loss, resulting in a -1. One choice roughly leads to either an outcome of 1, or an outcome of 0. The other choice roughly leads to an outcome of 0, or an outcome of -1. The choice then becomes obvious, right? The point is, other countries HAVE to take what our President says seriously. It\'s how the game of international politics is played. They don\'t have the luxury of saying "oh, he wasn\'t being serious, he was just joking". This process is completely divorced from human nature. It\'s a rational assessment of risk using game theory. You\'re treating the President Elect like he\'s a normal citizen. he isn\'t. he\'s soon to be the Chief Executive, the foremost Ambassador, and the Commander in Chief of the United States.

However, sometimes the nature of the comment means that the time it takes to reach clarification is time lost in preparation if the comment is true. Even then, the President should always be clear with what they say. If a President needs the seriousness of their comments clarified often, that is a significant problem. Finally, you\'re assuming everyone assumes the same way about seriousness, and has the same reactions. Think of a dictator of a small militaristic country. They have a fragile ego and an itchy trigger finger. The President makes a comment about taking military action against them, and does so AGAIN via a tweet. It turns out the comment wasn\'t serious, according to the PR people, but that Dictator has already taken hostage several American businessmen in response to the tweet.

Instead, I will just ask you this, since you seem to have a strong sense as to when Trump is being serious or not. Trump has promised, regarding the minimum wage, the following things: 1) Leave the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, which is already too high. 2) Raise the federal minimum wage to $10 per hour, as $7.25 is too low and “the minimum wage has to go up.” 3) Allow states to set their own minimum wage.

Google Photos has a handy "delete anything older than 30 days" feature. "Camera Roll" is slightly better. It\'s a rolling list of the last 1,000 photos you took, and it was a way to sync photos between devices before iCloud photos.

We found this out when my wife\'s phone started bitching about the 8GB of photos she\'d accumulated. Fun fact: the only way to turn off iCloud Photos is to take one of two choices: * Delete every photo on your phone forever. * Download every photo from the cloud. Which won\'t work, because you don\'t have the capacity. So do yourself a favor: don\'t use iCloud photos, get Google Photos or Dropbox, and get in the habit of manually deleting old pictures eventually. Google Photos has a handy "delete anything older than 30 days" feature. "Camera Roll" is slightly better. It\'s a rolling list of the last 1,000 photos you took, and it was a way to sync photos between devices before iCloud photos.

Assange has always had a strict vetting process and never publishes anything that isn't 100% authentic. He put out the truth about the Democratic Party which he didn't get by hacking.

He's not a hacker and he doesn't create anything. He only puts out what sources give him. I trust him and he has no reason to lie about what he has about Trump.

The current problem, IMHO, is that the general attitude in the US WRT prison is that its purpose is retribution rather than rehabilitation. The majority does not care what happens to people convicted of crimes, either in prison or afterwards; or they actively support the status quo. Here in the US, we have had horrific conditions in prisons for many years, as well as high levels of continuing ostracism and punishment post-imprisonment. There are some small organizations here and there who agitate against all this, but they have never built up much of a footprint. Personally, I think the current situation is both wrong and self-destructive in that society at large doesn't benefit from it, and in fact, suffers from it.

It's burned into their brains in training. How else would they get paid if they didn't have a steady stream of revenue, safety of the public be damned? What we need to do to survive as a society is hold them accountable. We need representatives that are willing to pass legislation that will force these thugs to prove to 12 of their own peers that their wanton discarding of human decency in search of profits was not maliciously motivated. And if they can't they should be rehabilitated because it seems to me like their behavior is incompatible with western society. Or we can just keep teaching nonviolent criminals (read: black and poor people) how to most effectively commit violent crimes. It's actually kinda funny how stupid Americans are about this topic. I read a story about an Egyptian activist who was imprisoned for speaking out against his country's leadership. He said there were thousands of people in the prison in the same situation as him- they were innocent of any real crime. Well guess what- it turns out that when you're falsely imprisoned in a prison with a bunch of ISIS members, that it's not too difficult for said ISIS members to indoctrinate you. I mean those people on the outside of the prison that these ISIS members are saying are horrible; they just threw you in a cage for nothing. It doesn't take a psychologist to trace that line of reasoning. (edit for clarification:) The point of this story was to show how effectively the imprisonment of nonviolent people endangers us all.

The current problem, IMHO, is that the general attitude in the US WRT prison is that its purpose is retribution rather than rehabilitation. The majority does not care what happens to people convicted of crimes, either in prison or afterwards; or they actively support the status quo. Here in the US, we have had horrific conditions in prisons for many years, as well as high levels of continuing ostracism and punishment post-imprisonment. There are some small organizations here and there who agitate against all this, but they have never built up much of a footprint. Personally, I think the current situation is both wrong and self-destructive in that society at large doesn't benefit from it, and in fact, suffers from it.

It's burned into their brains in training. How else would they get paid if they didn't have a steady stream of revenue, safety of the public be damned? What we need to do to survive as a society is hold them accountable. We need representatives that are willing to pass legislation that will force these thugs to prove to 12 of their own peers that their wanton discarding of human decency in search of profits was not maliciously motivated. And if they can't they should be rehabilitated because it seems to me like their behavior is incompatible with western society. Or we can just keep teaching nonviolent criminals (read: black and poor people) how to most effectively commit violent crimes. It's actually kinda funny how stupid Americans are about this topic. I read a story about an Egyptian activist who was imprisoned for speaking out against his country's leadership. He said there were thousands of people in the prison in the same situation as him- they were innocent of any real crime. Well guess what- it turns out that when you're falsely imprisoned in a prison with a bunch of ISIS members, that it's not too difficult for said ISIS members to indoctrinate you. I mean those people on the outside of the prison that these ISIS members are saying are horrible; they just threw you in a cage for nothing.

For a President Jill Stein\'s Green New Deal to work, she\'d have to accomplish the following: -Identify Democratic Senators willing to write, sponsor, and whip legislation through the Senate (Note: let\'s also remember that this won\'t be a single piece of legislation, just like the New Deal wasn\'t. It\'ll have to be dozens of pieces of legislation that will have to be tightly coordinated in order to accomplish these very ambitious goals.) -Pass all of that legislation with a filibuster-proof majority, which is going to require every Democrat, Independent, and a few Republicans -Get that legislation through the House, which is going to remain in Republican control through at least 2018 -Ensure that the legislation that does get through Congress is rock-solid and can survive hundreds of inevitable lower-court challenges, particularly on issues of state vs federal rights Essentially, what Stein\'s promising is that she, and she alone, with a current base of Congressional support that\'s roughly equal to zero, will be able to unite Congressional Democrats, Independents and Republicans to pass the most ambitious, complex, and comprehensive legislative agenda in more than fifty years, and do so in a way that can survive court challenges at every level of the judicial system, *while simultaneously* managing every other responsibility the President of the United States has, despite having no real experience running any type of large organization and very little experience (and responsibility) as an elected official.

Even if you agree with Jill Stein on policy, and even if you support the Green Party, you should at least spend a little bit of time evaluating the results of their efforts.

Despite what the news and the political candidates tell you the world is currently in the safest, most peaceful, most prosperous era in the history of all mankind. That is not hyperbole. This era has been ushered in partly by globalism and partly (to be modest) by US Global Preeminence. You wonder why the US spends more on the Military then almost the rest of the world combined? You wonder why "none of the conflicts we are currently involved in...[is]... like the moral necessity of WWII"? Well this is why. Our might, military, and geopolitical power have led to a dramatic *reduction* in war, death and destruction (even including George W Bush\'s stupid war of aggression). The conflicts the world is engaged in are smaller, non-global, far less deadly and far less destructive because of the power we wield over the world. **US Global Preeminence must be maintained because it is the single most powerful force for good, peace and prosperity mankind has ever seen**. Iraq (again extremely stupid and unnecessary), Libya, Syria, etc are unfortunate and we must do everything we can to prevent unnecessarily war, death and destruction - sometimes we get it wrong.

If France and Britain had kept their promise and went to "war" with Hitler the moment he broke the treaty of Versailles (long before he invaded Poland) 50-80 million lives could have been saved.

For a President Jill Stein\'s Green New Deal to work, she\'d have to accomplish the following: -Identify Democratic Senators willing to write, sponsor, and whip legislation through the Senate (Note: let\'s also remember that this won\'t be a single piece of legislation, just like the New Deal wasn\'t. It\'ll have to be dozens of pieces of legislation that will have to be tightly coordinated in order to accomplish these very ambitious goals.) -Pass all of that legislation with a filibuster-proof majority, which is going to require every Democrat, Independent, and a few Republicans -Get that legislation through the House, which is going to remain in Republican control through at least 2018 -Ensure that the legislation that does get through Congress is rock-solid and can survive hundreds of inevitable lower-court challenges, particularly on issues of state vs federal rights Essentially, what Stein\'s promising is that she, and she alone, with a current base of Congressional support that\'s roughly equal to zero, will be able to unite Congressional Democrats, Independents and Republicans to pass the most ambitious, complex, and comprehensive legislative agenda in more than fifty years, and do so in a way that can survive court challenges at every level of the judicial system, *while simultaneously* managing every other responsibility the President of the United States has, despite having no real experience running any type of large organization and very little experience (and responsibility) as an elected official.

Despite what the news and the political candidates tell you the world is currently in the safest, most peaceful, most prosperous era in the history of all mankind. That is not hyperbole.

You wonder why "none of the conflicts we are currently involved in...[is]... like the moral necessity of WWII"? Well this is why. Our might, military, and geopolitical power have led to a dramatic *reduction* in war, death and destruction (even including George W Bush\'s stupid war of aggression). The conflicts the world is engaged in are smaller, non-global, far less deadly and far less destructive because of the power we wield over the world. **US Global Preeminence must be maintained because it is the single most powerful force for good, peace and prosperity mankind has ever seen**. Iraq (again extremely stupid and unnecessary), Libya, Syria, etc are unfortunate and we must do everything we can to prevent unnecessarily war, death and destruction - sometimes we get it wrong.

On the other hand, the same open model is what is keeping Android from becoming a true Apple competitor. Allowing for any manufacturer to use the base software also allows for these manufacturers to add their bloat and slow or even kill updates to their hardware.

Android updates have been the bane of my existence ever since everything past the G1. Unfortunately, the open OS model is a double edged sword. On one hand, users have the freedom to do with their phone as they wish. This has been my driving force in supporting Android for the past 8 years. On the other hand, the same open model is what is keeping Android from becoming a true Apple competitor. Allowing for any manufacturer to use the base software also allows for these manufacturers to add their bloat and slow or even kill updates to their hardware. But even that is linked to the real problem in the consumer tech world of planned obsolescence. Greed, it seems, is the real problem here. I just want to buy a phone with good hardware that is obviously capable of running the latest and greatest operating system for more than 2 years that isn't part of a walled garden eco system.

I don't think you understand how this all works. See, Google spent all of the money on design and meetings and planning and coordination and orchestrating suppliers to make the product. Simply continuing to manufacture the device is a marginal cost (made by a company like Foxconn) in comparison. Google *thought* the Pixel would be a big deal. They did ad campaigns and made a really big deal about it. Then it flopped to the floor like a dead fish.

Furthermore, [a study with 32 transgender children](http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-01-transgender-kids-gender-identity.html), ages 5 to 12, indicates that the gender identity of these children is deeply held and is not the result of confusion about gender identity or pretense. The study is one of the first to explore gender identity in transgender children using implicit measures that operate outside conscious awareness and are, therefore, less susceptible to modification than self-report measures. [Pausing Puberty with Hormone Blockers May Help Transgender Kids](http://www.livescience.com/50755-transgender-kids-hormone-blocker-puberty.html) [Another study has found](http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2016/02/24/peds.2015-3223) that socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have developmentally normative levels of depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety, suggesting that psychopathology is not inevitable within this group. Especially striking is the comparison with reports of children with GID; socially transitioned transgender children have notably lower rates of internalizing psychopathology than previously reported among children with GID living as their natal sex. >pumping them full of hormones As I have said, no hormones are administered to pre-pubescent children.

Furthermore, [a study with 32 transgender children](http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-01-transgender-kids-gender-identity.html), ages 5 to 12, indicates that the gender identity of these children is deeply held and is not the result of confusion about gender identity or pretense. The study is one of the first to explore gender identity in transgender children using implicit measures that operate outside conscious awareness and are, therefore, less susceptible to modification than self-report measures. [Pausing Puberty with Hormone Blockers May Help Transgender Kids](http://www.livescience.com/50755-transgender-kids-hormone-blocker-puberty.html) [Another study has found](http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2016/02/24/peds.2015-3223) that socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have developmentally normative levels of depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety, suggesting that psychopathology is not inevitable within this group. Especially striking is the comparison with reports of children with GID; socially transitioned transgender children have notably lower rates of internalizing psychopathology than previously reported among children with GID living as their natal sex. >pumping them full of hormones As I have said, no hormones are administered to pre-pubescent children. Children approaching puberty are given hormone blockers to delay puberty up until the time they are old enough to decided for themselves whether or not to start hormone replacement therapy. The Endocrine Society does not recommend the administration of hormone replacement therapy to anyone under the age of 16. >carcinogens Hormones contain no carcinogens. >Transgendered people are 10x more likely to attempt suicide Regarding transition effect on suicide rates: * [Murad, et al., 2010](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19473181): "significant decrease in suicidality post-treatment.

This is because police have discretion on when they arrest or cite, and whether they decide instead to tell people to move along, destroy their drug paraphernalia, or whatever. With body cameras, they would be obligated to follow through every time someone commits an offense, which could be something as trivial as loitering or public urination. Arresting everyone for everything isn't just bad community policing, but bringing someone in and booking them is a huge drain on resources and takes officers away from going after the real criminals. I can easily picture decoys antagonizing cops just to get arrested and distract them from someone committing a serious crime.

With body cameras, they would be obligated to follow through every time someone commits an offense, which could be something as trivial as loitering or public urination. Arresting everyone for everything isn't just bad community policing, but bringing someone in and booking them is a huge drain on resources and takes officers away from going after the real criminals. I can easily picture decoys antagonizing cops just to get arrested and distract them from someone committing a serious crime. There are several points throughout the criminal justice process where it seemed like the obvious solution was to limit, for example, judicial discretion, but doing so made the problem worse.

Furthermore, the only thing that this fact check verifies is that Hillary did not use the specific words "basement dwellers" which we knew already. The reality is that I am a Bernie supporter, and I found several parts of this private speech to be insulting. It\'s funny that throughout the entire primary the narrative by the Hillary camp was that Bernie supporters were "mansplaining" and "whitesplaining" which was ridiculous and sad because there were supporters of every candidate doing the same thing, but of course that has never stopped Hillary supporters from condescendingly "Demsplaining" to Bernie supporters that their views are idealistic and that only Hillary\'s pay-to-play incrementalism is pragmatic and effective.

I don\'t think she has any problem with stuff like Sanders plans, but they would never get through Congress. His plans required large raises on taxes and that is something that the House would not give in on. Clinton\'s plans don\'t go as far but also require small tax hikes. Also she said "these are children of the Great Recession" so I think she is ackowledging that our economy is still suffering from the effects of 2008.', '>>{Zlibservacratican} : >"They **feel** that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don\'t see much of a future. >"That is a mindset that is really affecting their policies." She\'s right, but I\'m not wrong either. It\'s more than just what we feel, more than what we envisioned, more than a mindset, and that\'s subtle condescension, wether or not you are willing to admit it. It\'s systemic problems within the job market, problems that I indicated before. Like you admit, the world needs to change and we just wanted a stronger forceful leader who doesn\'t cry about the opposition\'s existence. We wanted someone who would go to the table with a stronger stance, so that when they do inevitably compromise, there was at least an attempt made to move the goalposts closer to our side, and during the primary, that was Bernie Sanders, who presented his lofty goals as just that, goals, not promises. And we understood that. >"We should try not to be a wet blanket on idealism -- you want people to be idealistic, you want them to set big goals -- but to take what we can achieve now and try to present them as bigger goals." I appreciate her words here. But she\'s betraying herself when she wants to present what she thinks can be achieved as bigger goals than what they are, preemptively compromised goals, smaller than the ones we wish to achieve. And knowing the republicans, they will take advantage of that. They push hard for their ideals, and democrats cave to their demands like they\'ve done for decades. It\'s how regulations have been rolled back, and regulators defunded, and social services cut. It\'s how the public option failed during the fight for the ACA. Look, in the end, there really isn\'t anyone else to vote for. But this attitude is a problem for many millennials like me, it\'s what is causing the enthusiasm gap. So she\'s going to become president, but we have no illusions of achieving great change under her leadership.', ">>{JustDoc} : You know what, you got me. Hillary all the way! Check it out - you know nothing about me, where I have been or what I have done with my life. Want a glimpse, check my post history. Many of Bernie's supporters are veterans - myself included. I have fought and nearly given my life several times in order to support the policies that were laid out by our current and previous administrations, and I did it willingly. I think I've made more difficult decisions than most of the population could ever dream of making. That said, I will vote in this election, just as I have every election; primary and general, state and federal, since I was 18. When faced with the current popular choices, I refuse to vote for the lesser of the two evils and I refuse to vote for someone just to keep a flawed electoral process in tact. This is NOT the fault of the common voter, but the fault of those few that are more powerful that the common voter who can be leveraged and bought. Why do you think overturning Citizens United is such a big deal? I do not believe that either of the popular candidates are fit to hold the office for various reasons and my vote will reflect that.

No. What she said was **she** didn\'t want to be a wet blanket on idealism and kill the enthusiasm of Sanders supporters. But that she feared that their lofty goals were not politically achievable, since at least in the short term the House will be controlled by Republicans, and they would sooner die than go along with a progressive agenda.

So we lost an election. It\'s not the end if the world. But if Trump wins it literally may be. Is that worth a fucking statement?

The word "insult" does not even appear anywhere on that page. Furthermore, the only thing that this fact check verifies is that Hillary did not use the specific words "basement dwellers" which we knew already. The reality is that I am a Bernie supporter, and I found several parts of this private speech to be insulting. It\'s funny that throughout the entire primary the narrative by the Hillary camp was that Bernie supporters were "mansplaining" and "whitesplaining" which was ridiculous and sad because there were supporters of every candidate doing the same thing, but of course that has never stopped Hillary supporters from condescendingly "Demsplaining" to Bernie supporters that their views are idealistic and that only Hillary\'s pay-to-play incrementalism is pragmatic and effective. And by the way, I get more insulted every time I see Hillary supporters try to spin the crap out of this story. Saying that I wasn\'t insulted is even more insulting. Is there an end to your condescension?', ">>{Egg-MacGuffin} : Stop trying to shove words in my face, I already said I made my decision! ^^/s In all seriousness, it may be blunt, and use a phrase that's typically pejorative, but anyone who reads the context shouldn't be confused.", '>>{sagan_drinks_cosmos} : Wherein she never says "basement dweller," and actually came off quite sympathetic.

I don\'t think she has any problem with stuff like Sanders plans, but they would never get through Congress. His plans required large raises on taxes and that is something that the House would not give in on. Clinton\'s plans don\'t go as far but also require small tax hikes. Also she said "these are children of the Great Recession" so I think she is ackowledging that our economy is still suffering from the effects of 2008.', '>>{Zlibservacratican} : >"They **feel** that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don\'t see much of a future. >"That is a mindset that is really affecting their policies." She\'s right, but I\'m not wrong either. It\'s more than just what we feel, more than what we envisioned, more than a mindset, and that\'s subtle condescension, wether or not you are willing to admit it. It\'s systemic problems within the job market, problems that I indicated before. Like you admit, the world needs to change and we just wanted a stronger forceful leader who doesn\'t cry about the opposition\'s existence. We wanted someone who would go to the table with a stronger stance, so that when they do inevitably compromise, there was at least an attempt made to move the goalposts closer to our side, and during the primary, that was Bernie Sanders, who presented his lofty goals as just that, goals, not promises. And we understood that. >"We should try not to be a wet blanket on idealism -- you want people to be idealistic, you want them to set big goals -- but to take what we can achieve now and try to present them as bigger goals." I appreciate her words here. But she\'s betraying herself when she wants to present what she thinks can be achieved as bigger goals than what they are, preemptively compromised goals, smaller than the ones we wish to achieve. And knowing the republicans, they will take advantage of that. They push hard for their ideals, and democrats cave to their demands like they\'ve done for decades. It\'s how regulations have been rolled back, and regulators defunded, and social services cut. It\'s how the public option failed during the fight for the ACA. Look, in the end, there really isn\'t anyone else to vote for. But this attitude is a problem for many millennials like me, it\'s what is causing the enthusiasm gap. So she\'s going to become president, but we have no illusions of achieving great change under her leadership.', ">>{JustDoc} : You know what, you got me. Hillary all the way! Check it out - you know nothing about me, where I have been or what I have done with my life. Want a glimpse, check my post history. Many of Bernie's supporters are veterans - myself included. I have fought and nearly given my life several times in order to support the policies that were laid out by our current and previous administrations, and I did it willingly. I think I've made more difficult decisions than most of the population could ever dream of making. That said, I will vote in this election, just as I have every election; primary and general, state and federal, since I was 18. When faced with the current popular choices, I refuse to vote for the lesser of the two evils and I refuse to vote for someone just to keep a flawed electoral process in tact. This is NOT the fault of the common voter, but the fault of those few that are more powerful that the common voter who can be leveraged and bought. Why do you think overturning Citizens United is such a big deal? I do not believe that either of the popular candidates are fit to hold the office for various reasons and my vote will reflect that.

Maybe you can cite 2 or 3 other than Bernie Sanders? Find me the dems not named Hillary (who has been flipflopping to get elected for about 12 years now) or Bernie who have guaranteed they\'ll stop arming Saudi Arabia and/or Israel, who guarantee they\'ll support no-fee state college, or who want stricter regulation of healthcare providers and insurers to keep Obamacare affordable and on track? Which democratic candidates are calling for a Snowden pardon and/or legislated protection for whistleblowers? The truth is that choosing between Republicans and Democrats is very similar to the choice between Pepsi and Coke. Yes, the advertising campaigns are different and people get quite polarized and aggressively assert how different they are and that the one that isn\'t their favorite is terrible, but really it\'s just one product. Are the following "Republican" or "Democratic" policies and actions? Obama (and Hillary) and President: * pushed heavily for the TPP * overseen unprecedented arms deals to Saudi Arabia * given pretty much unconditional support to Israel, with no penalties even for the illegal settlements in Gaza * broadened the scope of trade with China despite illegal currency manipulation, theft of intellectual properties and various human rights abuses * cracked down heavily on whistleblowers both in the public and private sectors * overseen a huge increase in fracking and deregulated offshore oil drilling while promoting more and more pipeline projects, including in the arctic * carried out an unprecedented number of extrajudicial assassinations against "suspected militants) in foreign countries without their governments\' permission and without any respect for international law, most of the time resulting in multiple civilian casualties for each "intended target". Any military-aged males killed in these strikes are officially tallied as "Combatants" by the administration. * didn\'t push for real banking regulation. Didn\'t break up or nationalize any of the banking sector, or even enact punitive measures against banks or their CEOs in the event of a repeat of 2008. * based ObamaCare on the Heritage Foundation (a rightwing thinktank)\'s alternative to single-payer, which was originally pushed by Richard Nixon and supported by the "Right Wing" for decades thereafter, right up until *Bob Dole* championed basically the same system in the 90s. * allowed only 18% of GW Bush era tax cuts (mainly to the rich) expire, while extending or making permanent 82% of them Bill Clinton as President: * implemented NAFTA, which basically killed American manufacturing and decimated middle- and low-income families in America, with almost all financial benefits going to corporations and the rich. * implemented "Don\'t Ask, Don\'t Tell", which banned openly LGBT people from serving in the Armed Forces * implemented the "Defense of Marriage Act", which specifically prohibited the federal gov\'t from recognizing same-sex marriage * implemented the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" which allowed businesses to discriminate against women, gays and other religions * gutted the American Welfare system (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996: look it up, it\'s scary) * responsible for the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill, which was a heavily systematized push to militarize the police, privatize the prison system, create mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, and resulted in longer and more frequent incarceration periods, predominantly among minority groups, surprise surprise. The fact of the matter is that Obama and the Clintons being called "progressive" or "left-wing" is nothing but a win for corporate America and "The Right", because it makes the general voting public believe that they really do have a choice and that they can vote for "something different" every 4 years, which is a farce.', ">>{blkdnmt} : They're desperate to win back Congress to keep Hillary from being impeached.", ">>{stevealive} : Thanks for raising this point, I never thought about how rare Obama inls in this aspect.

Which democratic candidates are calling for a Snowden pardon and/or legislated protection for whistleblowers? The truth is that choosing between Republicans and Democrats is very similar to the choice between Pepsi and Coke. Yes, the advertising campaigns are different and people get quite polarized and aggressively assert how different they are and that the one that isn\'t their favorite is terrible, but really it\'s just one product. Are the following "Republican" or "Democratic" policies and actions? Obama (and Hillary) and President: * pushed heavily for the TPP * overseen unprecedented arms deals to Saudi Arabia * given pretty much unconditional support to Israel, with no penalties even for the illegal settlements in Gaza * broadened the scope of trade with China despite illegal currency manipulation, theft of intellectual properties and various human rights abuses * cracked down heavily on whistleblowers both in the public and private sectors * overseen a huge increase in fracking and deregulated offshore oil drilling while promoting more and more pipeline projects, including in the arctic * carried out an unprecedented number of extrajudicial assassinations against "suspected militants) in foreign countries without their governments\' permission and without any respect for international law, most of the time resulting in multiple civilian casualties for each "intended target". Any military-aged males killed in these strikes are officially tallied as "Combatants" by the administration. * didn\'t push for real banking regulation. Didn\'t break up or nationalize any of the banking sector, or even enact punitive measures against banks or their CEOs in the event of a repeat of 2008. * based ObamaCare on the Heritage Foundation (a rightwing thinktank)\'s alternative to single-payer, which was originally pushed by Richard Nixon and supported by the "Right Wing" for decades thereafter, right up until *Bob Dole* championed basically the same system in the 90s. * allowed only 18% of GW Bush era tax cuts (mainly to the rich) expire, while extending or making permanent 82% of them Bill Clinton as President: * implemented NAFTA, which basically killed American manufacturing and decimated middle- and low-income families in America, with almost all financial benefits going to corporations and the rich. * implemented "Don\'t Ask, Don\'t Tell", which banned openly LGBT people from serving in the Armed Forces * implemented the "Defense of Marriage Act", which specifically prohibited the federal gov\'t from recognizing same-sex marriage * implemented the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" which allowed businesses to discriminate against women, gays and other religions * gutted the American Welfare system (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996: look it up, it\'s scary) * responsible for the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill, which was a heavily systematized push to militarize the police, privatize the prison system, create mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, and resulted in longer and more frequent incarceration periods, predominantly among minority groups, surprise surprise. The fact of the matter is that Obama and the Clintons being called "progressive" or "left-wing" is nothing but a win for corporate America and "The Right", because it makes the general voting public believe that they really do have a choice and that they can vote for "something different" every 4 years, which is a farce.', ">>{blkdnmt} : They're desperate to win back Congress to keep Hillary from being impeached.", ">>{stevealive} : Thanks for raising this point, I never thought about how rare Obama inls in this aspect.

It just so happens that most of the time, those Presidents want what they think is best for the American people. Trump, on the other hand, wants an entirely different category of thing than we\'ve seen in a while. He wants victory and adulation. And he wants to tear down people he perceives (but would never openly acknowledge) as being better than him. To this end, any policies and rhetoric that he creates have more than a tinge of spite and maliciousness to them. (He\'s also grossly incompetent and rubberstamping a hodgepodge of fantasy agendas for Paul Ryan, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, Daddy Vlad, his own pocketbook, and others, but if we\'re focusing on his "ideology" it revolves around revenge for perceived slights and "winning" in the public eye. He didn\'t care what was in the health care bill because he\'s stupid enough to believe the people who told him ObamaCare was a disaster and anything would be better. He didn\'t know anything about health care because, let\'s face it, his Intelligence score is about a 7 and he\'s not exactly curious enough to learn anything new.) Contrast this with Obama. We learned this week that Obama was an absolute political and policy-crafting genius. ACA is virtually unassailable from the direction of the right because in order to do what one part of the right wants, you lose the other. By reluctantly attaching his name to it, he accidentally lured the right into the Repeal and Replace trap. They got super emotional about it all but never bothered to build concensus about what to do after getting rid of it. Without a viable alternative, the American people will never buy into some fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants plan and you get 17% approval ratings. But his real genius was in the crafting of the policy. Obama had what Trump will never even think to need: empathy and the ability to listen, legislative expertise, connections across the coalition, political capital gained by national popularity, and passion for the policy change you\'re trying to enact.', '>>{ForgettableUsername} : I think Trump only picked him because of the nickname.', ">>{Franz_Kafka} : Guy was a Marine, he's dealt with worse.

It just so happens that most of the time, those Presidents want what they think is best for the American people. Trump, on the other hand, wants an entirely different category of thing than we\'ve seen in a while. He wants victory and adulation. And he wants to tear down people he perceives (but would never openly acknowledge) as being better than him. To this end, any policies and rhetoric that he creates have more than a tinge of spite and maliciousness to them. (He\'s also grossly incompetent and rubberstamping a hodgepodge of fantasy agendas for Paul Ryan, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, Daddy Vlad, his own pocketbook, and others, but if we\'re focusing on his "ideology" it revolves around revenge for perceived slights and "winning" in the public eye. He didn\'t care what was in the health care bill because he\'s stupid enough to believe the people who told him ObamaCare was a disaster and anything would be better. He didn\'t know anything about health care because, let\'s face it, his Intelligence score is about a 7 and he\'s not exactly curious enough to learn anything new.) Contrast this with Obama. We learned this week that Obama was an absolute political and policy-crafting genius. ACA is virtually unassailable from the direction of the right because in order to do what one part of the right wants, you lose the other. By reluctantly attaching his name to it, he accidentally lured the right into the Repeal and Replace trap. They got super emotional about it all but never bothered to build concensus about what to do after getting rid of it. Without a viable alternative, the American people will never buy into some fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants plan and you get 17% approval ratings. But his real genius was in the crafting of the policy. Obama had what Trump will never even think to need: empathy and the ability to listen, legislative expertise, connections across the coalition, political capital gained by national popularity, and passion for the policy change you\'re trying to enact.'], [">>{scite} : Republican Ohio Gov.

What DOMA did was *prevent* the Federal government from doing so (including offering marriage benefits to same-sex partners in any states that *did* choose to recognize same-sex marriage), and ensure that *other* states wouldn\'t have to follow their obligations under the "full faith and credit" clause by recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states.

The year it was signed was an election year and DOMA was a comprise between the then republican controlled congress and Clinton fighting for reelection in '96.

Only after being pressed to do so, much like with her tepid response to the Dakota pipeline crisis, HRC will give progressives a bunch of empty rhetoric about how she tried to stand by the platform, but those darn Republicans in Congress obstructed her. You are obviously not old enough to remember how progressive she was when Bill was president and how she worked with Bernie on many issues. Your hyperbole of how she is just faking being progressive is full of shit.", '>>{Hobo_Taco} : I\'ve done plenty of research on the 1990\'s even though I was too young to feel motivated to follow politics at the time. Hillary has never shown any signs of being progressive. Neither has Bill. They\'re "Third Way" Democrats who pander to progressives and serve their wealthy buddies when they\'re in office.', '>>{FightTheClintocracy} : Bill and Hillary\'s support for NAFTA, DOMA, the welfare reform bill, the crime bill, the bankruptcy reform bill, and the repeal of Glass Steagall, all of which Bernie opposed, begs to disagree with you. I\'m going to cut you off before you inevitably say "Bernie voted for the crime bill": he opposed it throughout its conception and only voted for it once it contained the Violence Against Women Act and an assault weapons restriction, and *still* condemned it when voting for it by saying that crime could only be prevented with jobs and education, not incarceration.', ">>{IAMTHEWALLS} : FACT: NAFTA created more jobs than it destroyed FACT: DOMA protected LGBT rights in the workplace and allowed states the right to expand that into same sex marriage. The fact you think this is a negative shows your regressive view of history. You have absolutely no idea how persecuted gays were in the 90's and how the Clinton's helped the community gain civil rights.", ">>{IAMTHEWALLS} : > I've done plenty of research on the 1990's lol, child you have no idea, there is a reason the Clinton's are revered by the LBGT community. You can look at revisionist history all you want but the fact is until the Clinton's came along the LBGT community didn't have any friends in DC. There is a reason they are choosing Clinton over Bernie and defiantly over Donnie.", '>>{FightTheClintocracy} : > FACT: NAFTA created more jobs than it destroyed In Mexico, for pennies an hour to exploited workers > FACT: DOMA protected LBGT rights in the workplace and allowed states the right to expand that into same sex marriage. It allowed states to deny marriage benefits to same-sex couples married outside the state. These are not things to be proud of. Only Bernie gets to be proud for standing against them when it actually mattered.', ">>{Hobo_Taco} : Oh, it looks like you misunderstood me. I'm talking about meaningful progressive reform that addresses the serious imbalance in in the distribution of resources that exists in America. I'm not referring to the constant empty rhetoric directed at historically marginalized groups that helps the Clintons to win support from progressives without them actually needing to do much of anything that makes a difference.", '>>{NonHomogenized} : > FACT: DOMA protected LGBT rights in the workplace In what possible sense did DOMA protect LGBT rights? I couldn\'t think of any, so I [checked the text of the Act](https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-104publ199/html/PLAW-104publ199.htm), and I still don\'t see anything which could be construed as protecting *any* LGBT rights. And given that the bill was written by then-anti-LGBT legislator Bob Barr, and the House Judiciary Committee (which Barr was on) said that the purpose of the bill was to "reflect and honor a collective moral judgment and to express moral disapproval of homosexuality", your assessment seems... well, unlikely. > and allowed states the right to expand that into same sex marriage No, states *already* had the right to recognize same-sex marriage. What DOMA did was *prevent* the Federal government from doing so (including offering marriage benefits to same-sex partners in any states that *did* choose to recognize same-sex marriage), and ensure that *other* states wouldn\'t have to follow their obligations under the "full faith and credit" clause by recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states. If DOMA was so good for the LGBT community, why was it opposed by Barney Frank, Steve Gunderson, and Gerry Studds - all three openly LGBT members of Congress at the time?', ">>{IAMTHEWALLS} : Look you can jump through hoops all day but the facts remain the LGBT community respects the Clinton's because they did more to advance their cause than any other administration. Bernie didn't do jack shit, Obama was late to the party, anyone around in the '90's remembers what the Clinton's did and they will continue to support them.", '>>{NonHomogenized} : All of that - accurate or not - is irrelevant here: you made an assertion about what DOMA did, and that assertion is laughably untrue. Indeed, no one who was around in the 90s was under the impression that DOMA was anything but an anti-LGBT measure, and I object to you trying to rewrite history to make DOMA into the *exact opposite* of what it actually was.', ">>{IAMTHEWALLS} : Your vague answer only tells us you were not around in the 90's. The year it was signed was an election year and DOMA was a comprise between the then republican controlled congress and Clinton fighting for reelection in '96. The law allowed states to recognize same sex marriages while limiting federal laws from overruling those state laws. You can beat your head against this issue all you want but the fact remains for those of us around at the time DOMA, as well as Don't Ask, Don't Tell were steeping stones to the equality laws we have now.", ">>{NonHomogenized} : > Your vague answer only tells us you were not around in the 90's. Actually, I was, and I *already* addressed [exactly how DOMA was very much *not* what you claimed, in my previous post](http://np.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/5asgqt/bernie_sanders_is_being_a_good_democrat_for_now/d9j5fqm/). I know why Bill Clinton supported DOMA at the time, and it had nothing to do with helping LGBT people."]]

Hillary was also way ahead in the polls, meanwhile her only credible threat was a no-name liberal from Vermont. If you want to help the less known candidates, and fairly allow the people vet the candidates, you have a lot of debates so their message can get out there. Instead, they chose a historic low of 6 debates, all of which were scheduled at odd times when people are less likely to watch. From day one, before all the emails, people were saying, "WTF? That\'s odd. That clearly is a schedule which favors Clinton." And it shocked no one, considering the chair was her former campaign manager. It was obviously intentional.', ">>{Circ-Le-Jerk} : Yeah, the person who scheduled 6 debates during odd time slots, when there was an emerging underdog candidate who needed exposure, by no means tried to do that to help the person she last ran a presidential campaign for. No way. But there is no smoking gun. Like all politicians, they make sure to have plausible deniability. Politicians tend not to be dumb enough to leave around a smoking gun. You're so incredibly naive. This is for the highest office in the land. It's always filled with shady shit. You don't need to constantly defend politicians just because they are in your party.", '>>{alephnul} : Your claim was that Hillary and the DNC "cheated". Cheating is a specific thing and generally has consequences. When pressed for an example, the closest you have come is to name the scheduling of the debates as an example. You don\'t understand what cheating is. If you can\'t play hard ball politics, then you don\'t deserve to be in the Presidential race. Whining because everything wasn\'t done in the manner best suited to showcase your favorite candidate does not prove cheating.', ">>{Circ-Le-Jerk} : That was just one example. How about DWS going on TV blasting Sanders over the Las Vegas event, when she knew she was being dishonest, just to blast him on TV. She knew the media was spinning it against Sanders, but still fed into their spin and narrative. These are all underhanded, and is a form of cheating. She's supposed to be fair to all candidates to give them an equal shot, but she worked hard every step of the way to ensure Sanders was limping into each battle.", ">>{alephnul} : Aaawwww poor little Bernie.... I understand that you guys are butt hurt because your guy lost, but if you want to play the politics game you are just going to have to put your big boy pants on and get over it.

It's because your guy lost.", '>>{dare3000} : Some of what you claim is false (she\'s not anti-vax, and the pro-homeo position biols down to them saying, "we support conventional medicine and complementary, integrative and licensed alternative health care approaches" OMG how crazy right?). For the things I disagree with her on, like GMOs, it\'s much less relevant than the appearance of corruption (DNC and DWS), incompetence and carelessness (FBI called it), hawkishness (Iraq and Syria), integrity (switching to popular positions when the polls say it\'s safe, then calling that "pragmatic incrementalism") and honesty (my fav was her claim she was dodging sniper fire on the tarmac), all issues I have with Clinton.', '>>{dare3000} : The thing is most "analysis" of her doesn\'t take her positions into account.

What is it with so many Clinton supporters who like to attack the character of the supporter? It's a common theme. It's incredibly rude and childish.", ">>{LD50-Cent} : Are you honestly surprised that DWS went on TV and had some harsh words for Bernie after he released a statement about the convention that was full of misinformation about what actually happened? The notion that Bernie should be allowed to be as antagonistic to the DNC as possible without any kind of consequence is absurd. He only joined to get access to their campaign infrastructure and then called them corrupt every chance he got, I can't possibly imagine why some of the staff might have preferred Hillary.", '>>{drucifer27} : Points 1 and 2: [US Presidential Candidate Jill Stein thinks wi-fi is a threat to children\'s health](http://www.sciencealert.com/us-presidential-candidate-jill-stein-thinks-wi-fi-is-a-threat-to-children-s-health) Point 3: [Sanders’ campaign, Baraka wrote, was less concerned about actual political reform and more interested in a tacit “commitment to Eurocentrism and normalized white supremacy.” "It should be obvious that his campaign is an ideological prop – albeit from a center/left position – of the logic and interests of the capitalist-imperialist settler state."](http://fusion.net/story/332652/jill-stein-ajamu-baraka-beyonce/) 3 (cont).

Point 4: She said this during her Reddit AMA. [Here is a link](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4ixbr5/i_am_jill_stein_green_party_candidate_for/d31wgws) to the original question, her response, and her rather uninformed response being dismantled point by point.', ">>{ImAHackDontLaugh} : > Instead, they chose a historic low of 6 debates, all of which were scheduled at odd times when people are less likely to watch. I'm gonna stop you right there. 1) There were 9 debates and 23 forums. 2) **All** of them were scheduled to be in prime time. 3) The most common day scheduled was Thursday, the day most people watch TV. Likewise, none of them were on Friday, the day the least people watch TV.", ">>{misscee} : You're probably right ... but that sure didn't stop them from taking my money and letting me go to their Jefferson Jackson dinners and rally and phone bank and canvass for their sorry asses.", '>>{dare3000} : Ok, here we go. Point 1 "WiFi" - It\'s true that EMF is bullshit, but it isn\'t true that concerns about RF exposure are just crank nonsense. It isn\'t just based on nothing. World governments, as Stein said in the vid, [have taken action on this](http://ehtrust.org/policy/international-policy-actions-on-wireless/). [America has too](http://www.metlabs.com/sar/politicians-push-specific-absorption-rate-sar-labeling-for-cell-phones/). The concern about it isn\'t just Stein\'s delusions, they have [some basis in fact](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/business/14digi.html). The real story here is that RF levels can be harmful, and children are especially sensitive, but the RF levels coming off common cells and wifi devices are too low to be dangerous. Stein is behind the times and a bit unnuanced on the facts, but not simply crazy. Point 2 - Her main point about computers in school was that screens have some negative effect on kids socially and cognitively. I\'d need to see more research on that, but it doesn\'t strike me as crazy to say "we need to move away from screens being in the faces of kids at school all day". As for the part about corporations using the (what could be decent) policy of adding tech to more schools to make a buck, that isn\'t so out there either. Point 3 - I don\'t know what Baraka means when he says Sanders has a "documented support of empire", and I\'d probably disagree. Could he mean something about support for Isreal? The point is that simply saying "he said mean stuff about Sanders!" isn\'t enough for me to be like, "oh, he must be wrong then" Maybe Sanders does support empire, but I doubt it. 3 (cont.) - Same with Obama. Don\'t like the term "Uncle Tom"? I understand. I didn\'t like when a comedian called him "my nigga" either. It\'s disrepectful for sure, but there\'s substance behind the rhetoric. I\'ll let Baraka speak for himself here: >What I wanted to do was basically to tell people who had this hope in Barack Obama, that if we were concerned and serious about how we could displace white power, we had to demystify the policies and the positions of this individual," Baraka said. "So that was how it got framed, to shock people into a more critical look at this individual, and that\'s how I did it, and I stand by that."" Has Obama been bad for the black community? Has he been too eager to seek the approval of whites? That\'s the issue here, not what offensive term Baraka used. For my part, I do think Obama wasted much of his time trying to bargain with Repubs who had no intention of doing the same, but I wouldn\'t call him an Uncle Tom. Stein followed that up with "I understand his frustrations..." a tactful answer that doesn\'t endorse the language but maybe endorses the ideas behind them. Not telling a marginalized person how to express their anger at being oppressed, this is liberal SJW basics 101. I don\'t agree with it tho. Point 4 - Now this is the real killer. I don\'t think she has a good plan for cancelling student debt, except a vague "just do what they did for the big banks!" and "QE, that\'ll do it". I think here she seems her most unintelligent, and I can\'t really muster any defense for her. Maybe her plan can be tweaked and saved, but fuck it she\'s not paying me to do that. (I don\'t think, BTW, anyone else has a better plan. She should\'ve just stuck with "we\'re gonna make the rich pay their fair share of taxes", which is only slightly less empty but plays well to the public). So what\'s my point? It\'s not to say Stein is perfect, but this Harvard trained doctor isn\'t just pulling everything she says out her ass. Some of it has some basis, albeit very little. But even if she\'s totally wrong on GMOs and the like, and is a walking Portlandia sketch, they\'re other issues one could agree with her on over others. edits: grammar and spelling, and adding links.']

But the falling price of gas, increased fuel efficiency, and the popularity of hybrid and electric vehicles has recently crimped tax revenues, contributing to an estimated $135 billion backlog in road and bridge repairs. The new tax is designed to plug that gap with a 12-cent per gallon increase in the gas tax, as well as new taxes on diesel fuel, a $100 annual fee for electric cars, and higher vehicle registration fees.

Hillary was also way ahead in the polls, meanwhile her only credible threat was a no-name liberal from Vermont. If you want to help the less known candidates, and fairly allow the people vet the candidates, you have a lot of debates so their message can get out there. Instead, they chose a historic low of 6 debates, all of which were scheduled at odd times when people are less likely to watch. From day one, before all the emails, people were saying, "WTF? That\'s odd. That clearly is a schedule which favors Clinton." And it shocked no one, considering the chair was her former campaign manager. It was obviously intentional.', ">>{Circ-Le-Jerk} : Yeah, the person who scheduled 6 debates during odd time slots, when there was an emerging underdog candidate who needed exposure, by no means tried to do that to help the person she last ran a presidential campaign for. No way. But there is no smoking gun. Like all politicians, they make sure to have plausible deniability. Politicians tend not to be dumb enough to leave around a smoking gun. You're so incredibly naive. This is for the highest office in the land. It's always filled with shady shit. You don't need to constantly defend politicians just because they are in your party.", '>>{alephnul} : Your claim was that Hillary and the DNC "cheated". Cheating is a specific thing and generally has consequences. When pressed for an example, the closest you have come is to name the scheduling of the debates as an example. You don\'t understand what cheating is. If you can\'t play hard ball politics, then you don\'t deserve to be in the Presidential race. Whining because everything wasn\'t done in the manner best suited to showcase your favorite candidate does not prove cheating.', ">>{Circ-Le-Jerk} : That was just one example. How about DWS going on TV blasting Sanders over the Las Vegas event, when she knew she was being dishonest, just to blast him on TV. She knew the media was spinning it against Sanders, but still fed into their spin and narrative. These are all underhanded, and is a form of cheating. She's supposed to be fair to all candidates to give them an equal shot, but she worked hard every step of the way to ensure Sanders was limping into each battle.", ">>{alephnul} : Aaawwww poor little Bernie.... I understand that you guys are butt hurt because your guy lost, but if you want to play the politics game you are just going to have to put your big boy pants on and get over it. Politics is a rough game and somebody loses every time. Sometimes it's your guy. It's not because anybody cheated. It's because your guy lost.", '>>{dare3000} : Some of what you claim is false (she\'s not anti-vax, and the pro-homeo position biols down to them saying, "we support conventional medicine and complementary, integrative and licensed alternative health care approaches" OMG how crazy right?). For the things I disagree with her on, like GMOs, it\'s much less relevant than the appearance of corruption (DNC and DWS), incompetence and carelessness (FBI called it), hawkishness (Iraq and Syria), integrity (switching to popular positions when the polls say it\'s safe, then calling that "pragmatic incrementalism") and honesty (my fav was her claim she was dodging sniper fire on the tarmac), all issues I have with Clinton.', '>>{dare3000} : The thing is most "analysis" of her doesn\'t take her positions into account.

What is it with so many Clinton supporters who like to attack the character of the supporter? It's a common theme. It's incredibly rude and childish.", ">>{LD50-Cent} : Are you honestly surprised that DWS went on TV and had some harsh words for Bernie after he released a statement about the convention that was full of misinformation about what actually happened? The notion that Bernie should be allowed to be as antagonistic to the DNC as possible without any kind of consequence is absurd.

Likewise, none of them were on Friday, the day the least people watch TV.", ">>{misscee} : You're probably right ... but that sure didn't stop them from taking my money and letting me go to their Jefferson Jackson dinners and rally and phone bank and canvass for their sorry asses.", '>>{dare3000} : Ok, here we go. Point 1 "WiFi" - It\'s true that EMF is bullshit, but it isn\'t true that concerns about RF exposure are just crank nonsense. It isn\'t just based on nothing. World governments, as Stein said in the vid, [have taken action on this](http://ehtrust.org/policy/international-policy-actions-on-wireless/). [America has too](http://www.metlabs.com/sar/politicians-push-specific-absorption-rate-sar-labeling-for-cell-phones/). The concern about it isn\'t just Stein\'s delusions, they have [some basis in fact](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/business/14digi.html). The real story here is that RF levels can be harmful, and children are especially sensitive, but the RF levels coming off common cells and wifi devices are too low to be dangerous. Stein is behind the times and a bit unnuanced on the facts, but not simply crazy. Point 2 - Her main point about computers in school was that screens have some negative effect on kids socially and cognitively. I\'d need to see more research on that, but it doesn\'t strike me as crazy to say "we need to move away from screens being in the faces of kids at school all day". As for the part about corporations using the (what could be decent) policy of adding tech to more schools to make a buck, that isn\'t so out there either. Point 3 - I don\'t know what Baraka means when he says Sanders has a "documented support of empire", and I\'d probably disagree. Could he mean something about support for Isreal? The point is that simply saying "he said mean stuff about Sanders!" isn\'t enough for me to be like, "oh, he must be wrong then" Maybe Sanders does support empire, but I doubt it. 3 (cont.) - Same with Obama. Don\'t like the term "Uncle Tom"? I understand. I didn\'t like when a comedian called him "my nigga" either. It\'s disrepectful for sure, but there\'s substance behind the rhetoric. I\'ll let Baraka speak for himself here: >What I wanted to do was basically to tell people who had this hope in Barack Obama, that if we were concerned and serious about how we could displace white power, we had to demystify the policies and the positions of this individual," Baraka said. "So that was how it got framed, to shock people into a more critical look at this individual, and that\'s how I did it, and I stand by that."" Has Obama been bad for the black community? Has he been too eager to seek the approval of whites? That\'s the issue here, not what offensive term Baraka used. For my part, I do think Obama wasted much of his time trying to bargain with Repubs who had no intention of doing the same, but I wouldn\'t call him an Uncle Tom. Stein followed that up with "I understand his frustrations..." a tactful answer that doesn\'t endorse the language but maybe endorses the ideas behind them. Not telling a marginalized person how to express their anger at being oppressed, this is liberal SJW basics 101. I don\'t agree with it tho. Point 4 - Now this is the real killer. I don\'t think she has a good plan for cancelling student debt, except a vague "just do what they did for the big banks!" and "QE, that\'ll do it". I think here she seems her most unintelligent, and I can\'t really muster any defense for her. Maybe her plan can be tweaked and saved, but fuck it she\'s not paying me to do that. (I don\'t think, BTW, anyone else has a better plan. She should\'ve just stuck with "we\'re gonna make the rich pay their fair share of taxes", which is only slightly less empty but plays well to the public). So what\'s my point? It\'s not to say Stein is perfect, but this Harvard trained doctor isn\'t just pulling everything she says out her ass. Some of it has some basis, albeit very little. But even if she\'s totally wrong on GMOs and the like, and is a walking Portlandia sketch, they\'re other issues one could agree with her on over others. edits: grammar and spelling, and adding links.']]

The laws that her and Bill pushed through that targets black people and then gives mandatory sentencing to low level drug offenses. Why does someone with crack get like 10 more years of sentencing than cocaine? Spending 50 years in jail for pot? Then she helped craft and create a law that takes children out of the home and puts them in foster care and it made it that much easier to terminate parent rights. She has single handily destroyed hundreds of thousands of families through the mandatory sentencing and child removal laws. Trump isn't an angel and he has his questions but this woman has played a hand in placing 673,000 American citizens in prison and pushed laws that have ripped thousands of children from their homes and families.

I work as a digital forensics examiner and messages CANNOT BE DELETED. Let me explain ELI5 iOS uses a fancy spreadsheet where it keeps application data. This spreadsheet contains the content of the messages, and the "metadata" or data about the data. Like time sent, received, whom sent the message etc. It also contains links to the photos and other data sent in message. Now once the message is on the phone and placed in the sheet, it will stay there until it is "marked" deleted. It doesent go anywhere. It\'s not removed in any way. This message just gets "hidden" from the users view. Now when you send and receive more messages these "hidden" messages can be overwritten by new messages. But here\'s the rub. I\'ve seen messages that were marked remain on a phone for months. So they are not entirely gone. Now when you use iCloud or backup your device. These messages get stored in your backup as a single file. Every time iCloud backs up your data it saves even the marked items to the messages file. I can easily download all your messages from your iCloud account with 29$ software, and "decode" or unscramble the messages if you will to a nice pretty list you can read as if it were on the phone. With the little bubble windows and all.. The ONLY way to get rid of everything is to factory wipe the iPhone. This doesent actually delete any data it just removes the keys to the data forever. Then go to your iCloud storage then manage storage and delete all backups.. Wait there\'s more ! Now you have to find all computers ever plugged into the phone and manually secure erase every backup. I would use a program @ eraser.heidi.ie and do a 3 pass wipe with pseudo random data. But be warned. There is a file that is left behind on the phone when you do a factory wipe that tells me if and when it\'s been wiped! A good forensic examiner will find this file right away. Hope this helps. And for everyone whom wishes to pick at my explanation of how this works and if messages can be recovered. I suggest you read up on SANS.org about iPhone forensics.

She needs to wipe her phone and wipe the iCloud backup. When I get a new phone, I always restore from backup from my last phone and all text messages with pictures even, get transferred. Then I wipe my old phone after verifying everything has transferred. Wiping (complete reset to factory) lets me sell the phone. As long as she can access the iCloud account, if all this is too confusing for her, have her take the phone to the Apple Store and ask them to wipe the iCloud account.', '>>{nrhyne} : If your phone in question is being backed up to an apple iCloud, laptop or network appliance then yes you can read all messages on the phone for as long as there has been backups. I work as a digital forensics examiner and messages CANNOT BE DELETED. Let me explain ELI5 iOS uses a fancy spreadsheet where it keeps application data. This spreadsheet contains the content of the messages, and the "metadata" or data about the data. Like time sent, received, whom sent the message etc. It also contains links to the photos and other data sent in message. Now once the message is on the phone and placed in the sheet, it will stay there until it is "marked" deleted. It doesent go anywhere. It\'s not removed in any way. This message just gets "hidden" from the users view. Now when you send and receive more messages these "hidden" messages can be overwritten by new messages. But here\'s the rub. I\'ve seen messages that were marked remain on a phone for months. So they are not entirely gone. Now when you use iCloud or backup your device. These messages get stored in your backup as a single file. Every time iCloud backs up your data it saves even the marked items to the messages file. I can easily download all your messages from your iCloud account with 29$ software, and "decode" or unscramble the messages if you will to a nice pretty list you can read as if it were on the phone. With the little bubble windows and all.. The ONLY way to get rid of everything is to factory wipe the iPhone. This doesent actually delete any data it just removes the keys to the data forever. Then go to your iCloud storage then manage storage and delete all backups.. Wait there\'s more ! Now you have to find all computers ever plugged into the phone and manually secure erase every backup. I would use a program @ eraser.heidi.ie and do a 3 pass wipe with pseudo random data. But be warned. There is a file that is left behind on the phone when you do a factory wipe that tells me if and when it\'s been wiped! A good forensic examiner will find this file right away. Hope this helps. And for everyone whom wishes to pick at my explanation of how this works and if messages can be recovered. I suggest you read up on SANS.org about iPhone forensics. There are many resources for you to use to help educate yourself about the process.

No, and the State Department almost certainly has guidelines on the proper methods to use.

The topic here is singular and based on a very specific allegation: *did Clinton\'s staff deliberately destroy cell phones in lieu of handing them over as evidence in the FBI\'s investigation into Clinton\'s e-mail server?* That\'s the innuendo here. And that would be a really bad, egregious thing - if it were True, and there was evidence that Clinton ordered the cell phones to be destroyed, she would be going to federal prison for deliberately obstructing an FBI investigation. But it\'s *entirely, 100% unsubstantiated innuendo*. Instead, what **actually** happened is that long before the investigations ever began, it was SoP for Hillary\'s staff to dispose of her out-of-date or otherwise replaced cell phones by physically destroying them. That\'s clearly not the best way to dispose of them, and the State Department almost certainly has an approved process that should\'ve been followed. But this is something that the FBI **CLEARLY** knew about, since we\'re learning about it *from the release of their own investigation and interview notes.* There was no wrong-doing. The innuendo is a bald-faced lie. Don\'t try to change the topic; either *be honest* and criticize and obvious lie and smear, or remain silent. But sometimes remaining silent speaks the loudest about ones\' character.', '>>{Stinsudamus} : Ok. So I feel that they deliberately did do such a thing, both prior to and during the investigation. As such as you mention that the state department has different procedures in place, and ones that include backups. The only contention here is that they say they didn\'t do this on purpose to hinder the fbi. I feel as if they did. The only evidence they are lying would come from them telling the truth about lying. I don\'t think that\'s gonna happen. They have lost the benefit of the doubt with me, and need to prove hey are on the up and up. The sniper fire and all the other lies are not directly tied to this, except that it shows character and willingness to lie. Sometimes actually typing out a response to the comment rather than copy and pasting large sections says a lot about someone\'s character as well since you broached that topic. I already know the "there is no evidence" line that\'s coming, and that correct. At this point it\'s down to telling the truth, something both her and her campaign has not done many many times...

Fascinating.', '>>{whyReadThis} : Exactly. Besides, they showed intent to destroy evidence before: I remember when they told the private media company they trusted with their sensitive emails to destroy the backups. Luckily, the company did not comply. It also shows how careful Clinton was of her emails, as she forfeited full control of them over to a private company who disobeyed her.', '>>{counters} : > So I feel that they deliberately did do such a thing, What you *feel* is irrelevant to the cold, hard fact of whether or not they committed wrongdoing. If you expect anyone to take your "feels" seriously, then you need to offer evidence to back up your assertion. And let\'s be very, **very** clear: Trump\'s surrogate *did not offer any such evidence.* He used innuendo to *suggest* malfeasance.

Now, go back and read my first comment on the topic in the thread, [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/51ed86/fbi_clinton_staff_destroyed_devices_with_hammers/d7beha9). Ok. Done? Now, bear with me, this will only take 5 seconds, and I bet we\'ll land on the same page: In this case, we don\'t have to worry about "believing" Hillary, or whether not she lied about anything. In this situation, we\'re actually not even evaluating a claim made by Hillary. Instead, we\'re discussing the tactic that a Trump surrogate used in a CNN interview to levy a serious accusation of criminal wrongdoing against Clinton. In that tactic, the surrogate asserted that the FBI found that in the past, Hillary\'s staff has physically destroyed cell phones which she was no longer using to handle her communications. This fact was confirmed by a reporter that CNN had on the line who was vetting information based on this FBI release. Now, the context of that information is really important. If the report was able to validate it, then that means this bit of information is contained in the FBI\'s interview notes. In other words - *they already knew about the practice of destroying cell phones* during the course of their investigation. But that\'s not the subtle spin that the Trump surrogate put on things. Instead, he **implied** that the cell phones were destroyed during the course of the FBI investigation. But **all** of the evidence points to this only occurring *before* the FBI investigations began. The Trump surrogate is being disingenuous; he\'s alleging that Clinton committed a serious criminal act - hampering a federal investigation by destroying evidence - when that is explicitly and objectively **not** what the CNN reporter was confirming. Does that make sense? There\'s no room for "feeling" or "belief" here. The Trump surrogate used an underhanded debate tactic and his counterpart wasn\'t afforded the opportunity to rebut, nor was the CNN reporter. --- > I return to the Invisible Pink Unicorn statement. [Dude, you\'re not the first person to ponder epistemology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot). At least use the original formulation by Russell instead of an immature parody.', ">>{robfloyd} : They're both evidence being destroyed. Because we know she purposefully destroyed evidence in one case, we can assume cell phones were also destroyed for the same reason. Unless you would like to give her the benefit of the doubt and pretend she wouldn't do it again and again.", '>>{Stinsudamus} : Destroying evidence, even prior to an investigation as one would do with minor bit of foresight, is still illegal. Especially when there are procedures in place for the backup of such information prior to destruction of the physical device. I don\'t think she cackled out "fuck the fbi and this device because it has evidence on it!". It was a wholesale, across mediums, destruction of information that could potentially be used against her or her "administration" in the future. Shredded papers, deleted emails, hammerd phones, etc. All of that would and should have been backed up for FOIA, if say she used the government systems she was supposed to, or had at least let them handle the destruction as per policy. If you understood what I meant enough to pedantically demand I use the original version than what I said was sufficient to put the point across and you understood what I meant. It serves no purpose but to try and discredit me or what I am saying. This conversation is going no where, but technicality land.

So in other words... you're alleging that Hillary Clinton possesses the power of pre-cognition and can see the future? How else would she have known to destroy cell phones in 2010 that the FBI might be interested in looking at during an investigation in 2016? A far more likely explanation than your conspiracy/superhero theory derives from [Hanlon's Razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor).

I should not allow her previous corruption influence my judgement of separate incidents.

The problem is that you *don\'t* have such evidence.', '>>{counters} : Can you identify for us the pertinent parts of the legal code which make it impermissible to dispose of used, has-been-replaced cell phones while under a Congressional investigation? I think you\'ll find, in your search, that a "Congressional investigation" isn\'t any form of real "investigation." In fact, such "investigations" are just political theater without any true legal bearings - although the information they produce could be used in future prosecution or investigations. You may wish to [read this page about investigations undertaken by the Senate](http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Investigations.htm). But on another note, this is the whole problem with what the surrogate implied. His **innuendo** has set off an avalanche of commentators trying to define the terms under which such heinous actions as disposing of a cell-phone could constitute criminal wrong-doing, totally irrelevant of *when the disposal actually occurred*. And, most importantly - **the FBI already knew of the phone disposals during their prove.** They\'ve already vetted the significance of these actions, and we know what their assessment of their significance was. Look, if the story told in OP\'s link was that "Hillary failed to dispose of old cell phones, keeping them locked in her desk", the story *du jour* would be "ZOMG HILLARY LEFT DEVICE WITH TOP SECRET INFO LAYING AROUND HER OFFICE IMPEEEAAACCCHHH!!!!"', '>>{robfloyd} : The newly released emails contain evidence she is reckless and careless with state secrets in an age where cybersecurity is of utmost importance.', '>>{counters} : And still, that has **nothing** to do with the insinuation in the linked CNN segment that she ordered her staff to destroy evidence, hampering a federal investigation.', ">>{KageJittai} : This is the underlying problem with Hillary, and most politicians, and apparently the people who support them. And why I can't support them. Legal != Moral. Just because you didn't break any laws, doesn't mean you aren't shitty person.", '>>{counters} : Actually, the problem is people who share your jaded, hyper-cynical attitude. The reality is that in this case - as it almost *always* is, whether it\'s a scandal involving Hillary or another politician - you\'ve already long since decided that she\'s guilty and untrustworthy, and you\'ll bend over backwards to incorporate any new information to reinforce that perception. What you don\'t understand is that such a viewpoint doesn\'t lend you a position of strength - instead, it is extremely weak. You\'ve been left vulnerable to *exactly* the tactic that the Trump surrogate in the linked CNN clip: an innuendo and vague, farcical assertion of wrong-doing. But since you\'ve already decided that Hillary is not only a bad person, but a corrupt, immoral leech upon society, you don\'t critically assess the facts of the matter. You accept the innuendo at face value. And you refuse to actually sit down and check whether or not there\'s any veracity to the claim, instead bragging about how you\'re "above" these sorts of petty, corrupt politics. In reality, **you** are the exact reason these tactics are so effective. You\'re a pawn in the game that this surrogate is playing. Because you\'ll accept at face value anything which confirms your pre-conception that Hillary is a criminal, you\'ll turn around and repeat this innuendo matter-of-factly, giving legs to a false rumor that was generated off the cuff. And then another person with your warped worldview will hear it, and spread it. And pretty, soon it will "established" fact that Hillary *personally* destroyed old phones in order to hamper the FBI\'s investigation into her email servers. Do you really not see the role you\'re playing in this cycle? The saddest thing is that it would take you virtually no effort at all to break the cycle. All you have to do is take 10 seconds, realize the hyperbole and innuendo the surrogate is spreading, and say to yourself, "Hold on - I really dislike Hillary, and she\'ll never have my vote, but *this*? This is **obviously** BS, and I\'d prefer squashing BS and prosecuting Hillary for her many other very real flaws."

So let's recap: * Setups private email server for apparently no reason at all (since the reason she gave, to use a single device, was a total lie) * In the middle of a congressional investigation, deletes tens of thousands of emails which she determined to be unrelated to work (despite the FBI later determined over half of them were work related) * In the middle of a congressional investigation, smashes data storage devices with hammers, again failing to follow ANY record handling procedures. Listen, I don't know what is or isn't in these emails. I don't know if what she did was legal or not, it certainly seems like it should be illegal. Regardless, it is certainly a **pattern** of failing to properly handle records and data. And is dubious at best. She said all along she intended to cooperate with the congressional investigation, while deleting, screening and destroying data that might or might not be relevant. This isn't the behavior of someone who is cooperating, it's the behavior of someone who is trying to hide shit. You can disagree and believe this is all perfectly normal. Or maybe you think it's just bad judgement. Either it's bad judgement or it's something more. Either way, I can't support someone like that.", ">>{counters} : None of that has **anything** to do with the allegation in OP's link that she deliberately had her staff destroy cell phones in order to hamper a federal FBI investigation. Why are you seemingly incapable of judging the allegation - and its total lack of supporting evidence - on its own merits?", '>>{KageJittai} : I don\'t know, why do you believe everything she does is completely defensible? BTW, I have judged this on it\'s own merits. And I have judged it to be part of a continued pattern with Hillary. A pattern that she thinks what ever is on her damn servers/phones/whatever is so goddamn important that she can\'t follow protocols. > Is that a "best practice" for disabling and destroying devices which may have been used for sensitive communications? No, and the State Department almost certainly has guidelines on the proper methods to use. You even admitted early that you doubted this follows guidelines. ALL of these things are relevant because they show a continued pattern of behavior. * Use of private email server. Didn\'t follow state department guide lines and not a wise course of action. * Deletion of work related emails. Didn\'t follow state department or FOIA guidelines and laws. * Destruction of work related cellular devices. Didn\'t follow state department guidelines (in your own words). Why are you not able to see an obvious pattern of skittering around guidelines and laws. Even if they what she did wasn\'t explicitly illegal, it certainly isn\'t someone of strong judgement and character would do. I work in fucking IT and I wouldn\'t even think about setting up a personal email server in my home to handle sensitive information (and I have ran my own email servers before, just FYI). Why someone who isn\'t a techie would even have that thought? "Hmmm, you know what would be a good idea? Instead of depending on experts at a secure fallacy who have oversight and redundancy, I think this is a great DIY project, it\'ll be fun." No rational human would ever have that thought. Not unless they **really** want to control their information (which is actually information that belongs to the government, BTW). When it comes to destroying the phones. Who sits there and thinks: "You know, instead of turning these over to a professionally to have them properly disposed of, Ill just smash it with a hammer." WHO THINKS THAT!?! Not only is it a bad practice it\'s potentially dangerous, just in case you\'ve never cracked open a lithium-ion battery, they fucking catch fire and explode. So yes, I have judged her actions on their merits, and I find them baffling and stupid. If one of our employees at work tried setting up their own email server to use for work stuff, we\'d fucking fire them. If an employee at my job, instead of turning in their cell phone, smashed them with a hammer, we\'d fucking fire them. So as an IT professional. Would I hire someone who circumvents company protocol, destroys company data, and company property. No, I wouldn\'t hire someone like that. How can I even start to vote someone into the highest position in the country that I wouldn\'t even hire as an office worker?', ">>{robfloyd} : Listen they're not supposed to use hammers it's extremely easy for spies to obtain that data if not completely incinerated either way she dgaf about security of Intel because she's too busy charging half a mil for a speech", '>>{counters} : > I don\'t know, why do you believe everything she does is completely defensible? In this thread, I haven\'t commented on anything except for the current allegation. So, again, why the insistence on trying to jump to other topics? There is no "pattern" of relevance here, despite your impressively meandering attempts to construct one. The **only** questions you should be asking, if you\'re approaching this honestly, are related to the destruction of the outdated cell phones. Of prime importance, then, is one master question: *When* were the cell phones destroyed? We know the answer to that one: during her normal tenure as Secretary of State. Before the FBI investigation. Before even the Benghazi hearings. How do we know this? *Because the FBI explicitly asked her about this practice in their interview with over the July 4th holiday this year.* How do we know *that*? **Because the first we, the public, are hearing about this \'scandal\' is in the released notes from that interview!** Again, and I **cannot believe** I still have to explicitly write it out here: the allegation we\'re vetting is the innuendo made by the Trump surrogate in OP\'s link, that Hillary ordered the phones deleted in order to hamper the federal investigation into her e-mail servers. Last I checked, time travel was science fiction, so I fail to see how one could choose to obstruct an ongoing investigation by dispose of cell phones **6 years before the investigation ever began.** So, one last time: **Why are you bending over backwards to not reject this obvious false claim?** If you can\'t answer that honestly, then not only are we done here, but I think you have some serious soul-searching to do.', ">>{counters} : The insinuation by the Trump surrogate in the linked CNN segment isn't that the means of destruction were inadequate. It's that they were destroyed while the FBI's probe was ongoing in a deliberate attempt at obstruction. I'll remind you that she left the office of Secretary of State **three full years before the probe began**, and the phones were destroyed during here tenure.", ">>{KageJittai} : > Why are you bending over backwards to not reject this obvious false claim? The claim that she did it to avoid the FBI investigate is false. The fact she smashed government property and government data to bits for the funnies, isn't.", ">>{counters} : > The claim that she did it to avoid the FBI investigate is false. Why wasn't this your instantaneous reaction to the Trump surrogate's innuendo?", '>>{KageJittai} : It was. You pointed out that this didn\'t happen while she was under the FBI investigation: > ..patently false insinuation that the phones were destroyed deliberately to hamper an FBI investigation. --------------- I then asked the very simple question: > Wasn\'t she under a congressional investigation when all of this happened, though? --------------- To which you started to reply that this doesn\'t count as obstruction to justice, because congress doesn\'t have any real investigator powers: > Can you identify for us the pertinent parts of the legal code which make it impermissible to dispose of used, has-been-replaced cell phones while under a Congressional investigation? I think you\'ll find, in your search, that a "Congressional investigation" isn\'t any form of real "investigation." In fact, such "investigations" are just political theater without any true legal bearings - although the information they produce could be used in future prosecution or investigations. --------------- I took that as a yes to the question I had asked. I would had expected you to say something to the order of "No, they were destroyed before the congressional interviews began." I then began to state that I don\'t judge the rightness/wrongness of actions based off it is legal or not. > Just because you didn\'t break any laws, doesn\'t mean you aren\'t shitty person. --------------- After that we were off to the horse races when you started to claim that I was the fundamental problem with this country: > You\'re a pawn in the game that this surrogate is playing. Because you\'ll accept at face value anything which confirms your pre-conception that Hillary is a criminal, you\'ll turn around and repeat this innuendo matter-of-factly, giving legs to a false rumor that was generated off the cuff. --------------- I pointed out that I acknowledge many of these attacks are bullshit: > There is plenty of BS around Hillary, Watergate or Benghazi for example, or even her \'illness\' as Karl Rove likes to proclaim. But I also point to specific examples (including this one), where Hillary has shown less the stellar judgement. And while I acknowledged none of it might had been illegal, it did concern me. --------------- The conversation continues with me continually pointing to actions she and the people around her has taken that baffle me. You continue to berate me and question my motives after I have laid them out. I admit I might had been mistaken your intent/information when you replied to my question when I asked if these had taken place during the congressional investigations. But short of that, I don\'t see why you have any problem with my other concerns. I believe destruction of phones that contain critical information should be followed via protocol, and I highly doubt that protocol includes smashing them with a hammer. I see this as a long line of failure to follow guidelines and proper procedures. And I question why these weren\'t followed. Best case, it was because she was ignorant and/or not trained on these procedures. Middle case, is that she lacked good judgement. Worst case, there were more nefarious reasons why she was not following guidelines. Any of these cases give me cause for concern. The truth is: we don\'t know why she continued to fail to follow proper guidelines for handling of classified information, and likely will never know. --------------- And yes, it is a pattern. If this had been the only incident I likely wouldn\'t had cared she smashed phones with hammers when she was done with it. But these issues don\'t live in a bubble, and I don\'t make choices on who I vote for on singular issues. This is another straw on the camels back as far as I\'m concerned. How many times are we suppose to give her a free pass for breaking rules and regulations. I admit that smashing a government phone with a hammer is nowhere near as bad as running a private email server, but doing both only compounds my questions about her beliefs regarding how she saw her data. I also suggest you listen to people you converse with more.', '>>{counters} : I was looking forward to your response, but imagine my dismay when two sentences in, you offer this as evidence of your supposed good faith: > Wasn\'t she under a congressional investigation when all of this happened, though? Do you know what a leading question is? Your rhetorical dud was met with an appropriate response. There are far more honest ways to ask the question, "When were the phones destroyed?" The problem is, that\'s not what you were interested in. Hence the rest of my comments aimed at you, your motive, and its problem in the greater context of our political discourse. Look, your tactic was transparent, and you got called out on it. Don\'t pretend anything else happened. > I also suggest you listen to people you converse with more. If that ain\'t the pot calling the kettle, I don\'t know what is.', ">>{KageJittai} : Sorry if you thought I was implying she was under congressional investigation.

No, and the State Department almost certainly has guidelines on the proper methods to use.

The topic here is singular and based on a very specific allegation: *did Clinton\'s staff deliberately destroy cell phones in lieu of handing them over as evidence in the FBI\'s investigation into Clinton\'s e-mail server?* That\'s the innuendo here. And that would be a really bad, egregious thing - if it were True, and there was evidence that Clinton ordered the cell phones to be destroyed, she would be going to federal prison for deliberately obstructing an FBI investigation. But it\'s *entirely, 100% unsubstantiated innuendo*. Instead, what **actually** happened is that long before the investigations ever began, it was SoP for Hillary\'s staff to dispose of her out-of-date or otherwise replaced cell phones by physically destroying them. That\'s clearly not the best way to dispose of them, and the State Department almost certainly has an approved process that should\'ve been followed. But this is something that the FBI **CLEARLY** knew about, since we\'re learning about it *from the release of their own investigation and interview notes.* There was no wrong-doing. The innuendo is a bald-faced lie. Don\'t try to change the topic; either *be honest* and criticize and obvious lie and smear, or remain silent. But sometimes remaining silent speaks the loudest about ones\' character.', '>>{Stinsudamus} : Ok. So I feel that they deliberately did do such a thing, both prior to and during the investigation. As such as you mention that the state department has different procedures in place, and ones that include backups. The only contention here is that they say they didn\'t do this on purpose to hinder the fbi. I feel as if they did. The only evidence they are lying would come from them telling the truth about lying. I don\'t think that\'s gonna happen. They have lost the benefit of the doubt with me, and need to prove hey are on the up and up. The sniper fire and all the other lies are not directly tied to this, except that it shows character and willingness to lie. Sometimes actually typing out a response to the comment rather than copy and pasting large sections says a lot about someone\'s character as well since you broached that topic. I already know the "there is no evidence" line that\'s coming, and that correct. At this point it\'s down to telling the truth, something both her and her campaign has not done many many times...

Fascinating.', '>>{whyReadThis} : Exactly. Besides, they showed intent to destroy evidence before: I remember when they told the private media company they trusted with their sensitive emails to destroy the backups. Luckily, the company did not comply. It also shows how careful Clinton was of her emails, as she forfeited full control of them over to a private company who disobeyed her.', '>>{counters} : > So I feel that they deliberately did do such a thing, What you *feel* is irrelevant to the cold, hard fact of whether or not they committed wrongdoing. If you expect anyone to take your "feels" seriously, then you need to offer evidence to back up your assertion. And let\'s be very, **very** clear: Trump\'s surrogate *did not offer any such evidence.* He used innuendo to *suggest* malfeasance. But, because you *feel* that Hillary is a not-nice-very-bad-person, that\'s apparently more than enough to convict her in the court of your internal dialogue.

Ok, do me a favor and step back from your last comment for a moment. Now, go back and read my first comment on the topic in the thread, [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/51ed86/fbi_clinton_staff_destroyed_devices_with_hammers/d7beha9). Ok. Done? Now, bear with me, this will only take 5 seconds, and I bet we\'ll land on the same page: In this case, we don\'t have to worry about "believing" Hillary, or whether not she lied about anything. In this situation, we\'re actually not even evaluating a claim made by Hillary. Instead, we\'re discussing the tactic that a Trump surrogate used in a CNN interview to levy a serious accusation of criminal wrongdoing against Clinton. In that tactic, the surrogate asserted that the FBI found that in the past, Hillary\'s staff has physically destroyed cell phones which she was no longer using to handle her communications. This fact was confirmed by a reporter that CNN had on the line who was vetting information based on this FBI release. Now, the context of that information is really important. If the report was able to validate it, then that means this bit of information is contained in the FBI\'s interview notes. In other words - *they already knew about the practice of destroying cell phones* during the course of their investigation. But that\'s not the subtle spin that the Trump surrogate put on things. Instead, he **implied** that the cell phones were destroyed during the course of the FBI investigation. But **all** of the evidence points to this only occurring *before* the FBI investigations began. The Trump surrogate is being disingenuous; he\'s alleging that Clinton committed a serious criminal act - hampering a federal investigation by destroying evidence - when that is explicitly and objectively **not** what the CNN reporter was confirming. Does that make sense? There\'s no room for "feeling" or "belief" here. The Trump surrogate used an underhanded debate tactic and his counterpart wasn\'t afforded the opportunity to rebut, nor was the CNN reporter. --- > I return to the Invisible Pink Unicorn statement. [Dude, you\'re not the first person to ponder epistemology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot). At least use the original formulation by Russell instead of an immature parody.', ">>{robfloyd} : They're both evidence being destroyed. Because we know she purposefully destroyed evidence in one case, we can assume cell phones were also destroyed for the same reason. Unless you would like to give her the benefit of the doubt and pretend she wouldn't do it again and again.", '>>{Stinsudamus} : Destroying evidence, even prior to an investigation as one would do with minor bit of foresight, is still illegal. Especially when there are procedures in place for the backup of such information prior to destruction of the physical device. I don\'t think she cackled out "fuck the fbi and this device because it has evidence on it!". It was a wholesale, across mediums, destruction of information that could potentially be used against her or her "administration" in the future. Shredded papers, deleted emails, hammerd phones, etc. All of that would and should have been backed up for FOIA, if say she used the government systems she was supposed to, or had at least let them handle the destruction as per policy. If you understood what I meant enough to pedantically demand I use the original version than what I said was sufficient to put the point across and you understood what I meant. It serves no purpose but to try and discredit me or what I am saying. This conversation is going no where, but technicality land. Good day, good luck, and good riddance.', '>>{counters} : > This conversation is going no where, but technicality land. Well, when you insist on chasing red herring and inventing distractions from the actual issue at hand, does this really surprise you? Please take your sophistry somewhere else.', ">>{counters} : > we can assume cell phones were also destroyed for the same reason. So in other words... you're alleging that Hillary Clinton possesses the power of pre-cognition and can see the future? How else would she have known to destroy cell phones in 2010 that the FBI might be interested in looking at during an investigation in 2016? A far more likely explanation than your conspiracy/superhero theory derives from [Hanlon's Razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor). We already know that Clinton isn't sophisticated when it comes to technology. It's reasonable to assume she was unfamiliar with the proper means - or State Department mandated means - to dispose of unused electronics equipment, and simply had it done in a manner that was most convenient to her.", ">>{robfloyd} : She would have known to destroy them because they are full of illegal corruption that would get her in trouble. Try Occam's Razor on for size.", '>>{counters} : > Try Occam\'s Razor on for size. How is it parsimonious to assume that a device *you have never seen the contents of* must contain evidence of "illegal corruption," especially in light of the fact that there has surfaced - despite **decades** of concerted investigation by partisans - a grand total of **ZERO** evidence in any form of such corruption? C\'mon dude. Really?', '>>{rcglinsk} : I have a hard time understanding the mentality of these folks. Obviously they knew what to do with the old blackberry or whatever was an issue. Wouldn\'t normal people ask someone in the State Department what the proper procedure was?

I should not allow her previous corruption influence my judgement of separate incidents. Why would I do such a thing?", '>>{counters} : If you have **evidence** of "previous corruption", then you can absolutely use that to inform your judgment. The problem is that you *don\'t* have such evidence.', '>>{counters} : Can you identify for us the pertinent parts of the legal code which make it impermissible to dispose of used, has-been-replaced cell phones while under a Congressional investigation? I think you\'ll find, in your search, that a "Congressional investigation" isn\'t any form of real "investigation." In fact, such "investigations" are just political theater without any true legal bearings - although the information they produce could be used in future prosecution or investigations. You may wish to [read this page about investigations undertaken by the Senate](http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Investigations.htm). But on another note, this is the whole problem with what the surrogate implied. His **innuendo** has set off an avalanche of commentators trying to define the terms under which such heinous actions as disposing of a cell-phone could constitute criminal wrong-doing, totally irrelevant of *when the disposal actually occurred*. And, most importantly - **the FBI already knew of the phone disposals during their prove.** They\'ve already vetted the significance of these actions, and we know what their assessment of their significance was. Look, if the story told in OP\'s link was that "Hillary failed to dispose of old cell phones, keeping them locked in her desk", the story *du jour* would be "ZOMG HILLARY LEFT DEVICE WITH TOP SECRET INFO LAYING AROUND HER OFFICE IMPEEEAAACCCHHH!!!!"', '>>{robfloyd} : The newly released emails contain evidence she is reckless and careless with state secrets in an age where cybersecurity is of utmost importance.', '>>{counters} : And still, that has **nothing** to do with the insinuation in the linked CNN segment that she ordered her staff to destroy evidence, hampering a federal investigation.', ">>{KageJittai} : This is the underlying problem with Hillary, and most politicians, and apparently the people who support them. And why I can't support them. Legal != Moral. Just because you didn't break any laws, doesn't mean you aren't shitty person.", '>>{counters} : Actually, the problem is people who share your jaded, hyper-cynical attitude. The reality is that in this case - as it almost *always* is, whether it\'s a scandal involving Hillary or another politician - you\'ve already long since decided that she\'s guilty and untrustworthy, and you\'ll bend over backwards to incorporate any new information to reinforce that perception. What you don\'t understand is that such a viewpoint doesn\'t lend you a position of strength - instead, it is extremely weak. You\'ve been left vulnerable to *exactly* the tactic that the Trump surrogate in the linked CNN clip: an innuendo and vague, farcical assertion of wrong-doing. But since you\'ve already decided that Hillary is not only a bad person, but a corrupt, immoral leech upon society, you don\'t critically assess the facts of the matter. You accept the innuendo at face value. And you refuse to actually sit down and check whether or not there\'s any veracity to the claim, instead bragging about how you\'re "above" these sorts of petty, corrupt politics. In reality, **you** are the exact reason these tactics are so effective. You\'re a pawn in the game that this surrogate is playing. Because you\'ll accept at face value anything which confirms your pre-conception that Hillary is a criminal, you\'ll turn around and repeat this innuendo matter-of-factly, giving legs to a false rumor that was generated off the cuff. And then another person with your warped worldview will hear it, and spread it. And pretty, soon it will "established" fact that Hillary *personally* destroyed old phones in order to hamper the FBI\'s investigation into her email servers. Do you really not see the role you\'re playing in this cycle? The saddest thing is that it would take you virtually no effort at all to break the cycle. All you have to do is take 10 seconds, realize the hyperbole and innuendo the surrogate is spreading, and say to yourself, "Hold on - I really dislike Hillary, and she\'ll never have my vote, but *this*? This is **obviously** BS, and I\'d prefer squashing BS and prosecuting Hillary for her many other very real flaws." But we all know that you won\'t do that.', ">>{KageJittai} : There is plenty of BS around Hillary, Watergate or Benghazi for example, or even her 'illness' as Karl Rove likes to proclaim. But there is also plenty she has brought on herself. She lies to and tries to cover up any wrong doings instead of owning her own shit. She knew she was under a congressional investigation, yet she deleted and destroyed many work related emails, unless you didn't read/believe the FBI report that they recovered [17,000 emails that Clinton failed to hand over to the State Department](http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/03/opinions/fbi-report-on-clinton-opinion-cox/). So let's recap: * Setups private email server for apparently no reason at all (since the reason she gave, to use a single device, was a total lie) * In the middle of a congressional investigation, deletes tens of thousands of emails which she determined to be unrelated to work (despite the FBI later determined over half of them were work related) * In the middle of a congressional investigation, smashes data storage devices with hammers, again failing to follow ANY record handling procedures. Listen, I don't know what is or isn't in these emails. I don't know if what she did was legal or not, it certainly seems like it should be illegal. Regardless, it is certainly a **pattern** of failing to properly handle records and data. And is dubious at best. She said all along she intended to cooperate with the congressional investigation, while deleting, screening and destroying data that might or might not be relevant. This isn't the behavior of someone who is cooperating, it's the behavior of someone who is trying to hide shit. You can disagree and believe this is all perfectly normal. Or maybe you think it's just bad judgement. Either it's bad judgement or it's something more. Either way, I can't support someone like that.", ">>{counters} : None of that has **anything** to do with the allegation in OP's link that she deliberately had her staff destroy cell phones in order to hamper a federal FBI investigation. Why are you seemingly incapable of judging the allegation - and its total lack of supporting evidence - on its own merits?", '>>{KageJittai} : I don\'t know, why do you believe everything she does is completely defensible? BTW, I have judged this on it\'s own merits. And I have judged it to be part of a continued pattern with Hillary. A pattern that she thinks what ever is on her damn servers/phones/whatever is so goddamn important that she can\'t follow protocols. > Is that a "best practice" for disabling and destroying devices which may have been used for sensitive communications? No, and the State Department almost certainly has guidelines on the proper methods to use. You even admitted early that you doubted this follows guidelines. ALL of these things are relevant because they show a continued pattern of behavior. * Use of private email server. Didn\'t follow state department guide lines and not a wise course of action. * Deletion of work related emails. Didn\'t follow state department or FOIA guidelines and laws. * Destruction of work related cellular devices. Didn\'t follow state department guidelines (in your own words). Why are you not able to see an obvious pattern of skittering around guidelines and laws. Even if they what she did wasn\'t explicitly illegal, it certainly isn\'t someone of strong judgement and character would do. I work in fucking IT and I wouldn\'t even think about setting up a personal email server in my home to handle sensitive information (and I have ran my own email servers before, just FYI). Why someone who isn\'t a techie would even have that thought? "Hmmm, you know what would be a good idea? Instead of depending on experts at a secure fallacy who have oversight and redundancy, I think this is a great DIY project, it\'ll be fun." No rational human would ever have that thought. Not unless they **really** want to control their information (which is actually information that belongs to the government, BTW). When it comes to destroying the phones. Who sits there and thinks: "You know, instead of turning these over to a professionally to have them properly disposed of, Ill just smash it with a hammer." WHO THINKS THAT!?! Not only is it a bad practice it\'s potentially dangerous, just in case you\'ve never cracked open a lithium-ion battery, they fucking catch fire and explode. So yes, I have judged her actions on their merits, and I find them baffling and stupid. If one of our employees at work tried setting up their own email server to use for work stuff, we\'d fucking fire them. If an employee at my job, instead of turning in their cell phone, smashed them with a hammer, we\'d fucking fire them. So as an IT professional. Would I hire someone who circumvents company protocol, destroys company data, and company property. No, I wouldn\'t hire someone like that. How can I even start to vote someone into the highest position in the country that I wouldn\'t even hire as an office worker?', ">>{robfloyd} : Listen they're not supposed to use hammers it's extremely easy for spies to obtain that data if not completely incinerated either way she dgaf about security of Intel because she's too busy charging half a mil for a speech", '>>{counters} : > I don\'t know, why do you believe everything she does is completely defensible? In this thread, I haven\'t commented on anything except for the current allegation. So, again, why the insistence on trying to jump to other topics? There is no "pattern" of relevance here, despite your impressively meandering attempts to construct one. The **only** questions you should be asking, if you\'re approaching this honestly, are related to the destruction of the outdated cell phones. Of prime importance, then, is one master question: *When* were the cell phones destroyed? We know the answer to that one: during her normal tenure as Secretary of State. Before the FBI investigation. Before even the Benghazi hearings. How do we know this? *Because the FBI explicitly asked her about this practice in their interview with over the July 4th holiday this year.* How do we know *that*? **Because the first we, the public, are hearing about this \'scandal\' is in the released notes from that interview!** Again, and I **cannot believe** I still have to explicitly write it out here: the allegation we\'re vetting is the innuendo made by the Trump surrogate in OP\'s link, that Hillary ordered the phones deleted in order to hamper the federal investigation into her e-mail servers. Last I checked, time travel was science fiction, so I fail to see how one could choose to obstruct an ongoing investigation by dispose of cell phones **6 years before the investigation ever began.** So, one last time: **Why are you bending over backwards to not reject this obvious false claim?** If you can\'t answer that honestly, then not only are we done here, but I think you have some serious soul-searching to do.', ">>{counters} : The insinuation by the Trump surrogate in the linked CNN segment isn't that the means of destruction were inadequate. It's that they were destroyed while the FBI's probe was ongoing in a deliberate attempt at obstruction. I'll remind you that she left the office of Secretary of State **three full years before the probe began**, and the phones were destroyed during here tenure.", ">>{KageJittai} : > Why are you bending over backwards to not reject this obvious false claim? The claim that she did it to avoid the FBI investigate is false. The fact she smashed government property and government data to bits for the funnies, isn't.", ">>{counters} : > The claim that she did it to avoid the FBI investigate is false. Why wasn't this your instantaneous reaction to the Trump surrogate's innuendo?", '>>{KageJittai} : It was. You pointed out that this didn\'t happen while she was under the FBI investigation: > ..patently false insinuation that the phones were destroyed deliberately to hamper an FBI investigation. --------------- I then asked the very simple question: > Wasn\'t she under a congressional investigation when all of this happened, though? --------------- To which you started to reply that this doesn\'t count as obstruction to justice, because congress doesn\'t have any real investigator powers: > Can you identify for us the pertinent parts of the legal code which make it impermissible to dispose of used, has-been-replaced cell phones while under a Congressional investigation? I think you\'ll find, in your search, that a "Congressional investigation" isn\'t any form of real "investigation." In fact, such "investigations" are just political theater without any true legal bearings - although the information they produce could be used in future prosecution or investigations. --------------- I took that as a yes to the question I had asked. I would had expected you to say something to the order of "No, they were destroyed before the congressional interviews began." I then began to state that I don\'t judge the rightness/wrongness of actions based off it is legal or not. > Just because you didn\'t break any laws, doesn\'t mean you aren\'t shitty person. --------------- After that we were off to the horse races when you started to claim that I was the fundamental problem with this country: > You\'re a pawn in the game that this surrogate is playing. Because you\'ll accept at face value anything which confirms your pre-conception that Hillary is a criminal, you\'ll turn around and repeat this innuendo matter-of-factly, giving legs to a false rumor that was generated off the cuff. --------------- I pointed out that I acknowledge many of these attacks are bullshit: > There is plenty of BS around Hillary, Watergate or Benghazi for example, or even her \'illness\' as Karl Rove likes to proclaim. But I also point to specific examples (including this one), where Hillary has shown less the stellar judgement. And while I acknowledged none of it might had been illegal, it did concern me. --------------- The conversation continues with me continually pointing to actions she and the people around her has taken that baffle me. You continue to berate me and question my motives after I have laid them out. I admit I might had been mistaken your intent/information when you replied to my question when I asked if these had taken place during the congressional investigations. But short of that, I don\'t see why you have any problem with my other concerns. I believe destruction of phones that contain critical information should be followed via protocol, and I highly doubt that protocol includes smashing them with a hammer. I see this as a long line of failure to follow guidelines and proper procedures. And I question why these weren\'t followed. Best case, it was because she was ignorant and/or not trained on these procedures. Middle case, is that she lacked good judgement. Worst case, there were more nefarious reasons why she was not following guidelines. Any of these cases give me cause for concern. The truth is: we don\'t know why she continued to fail to follow proper guidelines for handling of classified information, and likely will never know. --------------- And yes, it is a pattern. If this had been the only incident I likely wouldn\'t had cared she smashed phones with hammers when she was done with it. But these issues don\'t live in a bubble, and I don\'t make choices on who I vote for on singular issues. This is another straw on the camels back as far as I\'m concerned. How many times are we suppose to give her a free pass for breaking rules and regulations. I admit that smashing a government phone with a hammer is nowhere near as bad as running a private email server, but doing both only compounds my questions about her beliefs regarding how she saw her data.

Screw myself and the world I leave my kids by making some assholes richer, because it'll piss off the liberals!", '>>{DrQAlias} : It\'s funny, the entire social conservative movement is based on punishment, too. Also their views on war, and immigration. And they want to punish poor people for being poor. Just not all cases, though- they want to reward people for having a lot of money. The difference from this study, though, is that Republicans all think punishment is the only tool needed to actually get things done, not just for feeling good about getting vengeance. It\'s a worldview.

Psychology only studies the individual mind while sociology deals with how humans interacts in society.

She said she helped girls like me get to where they want to get. She also said I\'d be paid.\' > Her account was that on that very first night, she met Donald Trump. > Tiffany said there was a party and she took Johnson to meet Epstein at a mansion on 71st Street in Manhattan, that had belonged to retail magnate Leslie H. Wexner of The Limited and was turned over to Epstein. > Johnson recalls that the house was \'filled with expensive things\' and she felt out of place. > It is certainly true that Epstein held parties at the house, and that he is a pedophile. In the course of DailyMail.com\'s investigations, we spoke to \'Tiffany\', who offered a similar account of events, but no actual evidence to back her assertions. > \'Tiffany\' also decline to provide her own true identity. > In Johnson\'s version, she told DailyMail.com how Epstein asked her to strip down to her \'panties\' during an impromptu interview before requesting that she give him a massage. > Fueled by Tiffany\'s assertion that she would have to do certain things to make it as a professional model she agreed, she claimed. > Johnson claimed that even at that first meeting Epstein tried to have sex with her but she refused. > He told her at the end: \'You\'ll do, you\'ve got the job.\' > And that night at the party - which she says was filled with men and young girls - she would meet Donald Trump, she claimed. > Johnson acknowledges that she had no idea who Donald Trump was at the time. > But she claims that she would never forget his face and it was only years later when Trump starred in The Apprentice that she recognized the man she says sexually assaulted her. > That may be the crucial flaw in her story. > She claims the businessman, who in the summer of 1994 was 48, saw her and requested her company through Tiffany. > She said: \'He didn\'t really talk to me at all, he spoke at me, but he was talking to Tiffany more telling her what he wanted me to do.

This night I was supposed to manually stimulate him and I needed to use a glove for whatever reason,\' she said. > She added: \'And I did not know what she meant at first, I had only kissed a boy at that point, I didn\'t know what to do. She (Tiffany) wanted to give me a crash course, the whole time I\'m not wanting to do it. > \'But she\'s like, "that\'s how models get in to the industry", and if I wanted to be a model bad enough then I would do it.\' > Johnson says the man she claims to be Trump said very little to her during that first encounter other than she reminded him of his daughter. > After Johnson finished the sex act, she claims, he made a comment that she \'wasn\'t great\', before putting on his pants. > \'He left, I don\'t know whether he went to another girl, but that was the last time I saw him that night,\' she said. > Before she left the party Epstein gave her $700. > Tiffany then drove Johnson back to the Port Authority bus terminal and she returned home to Oklahoma in the early hours.

Tiffany had sent me some kind of buddy pass for the flight and money for a cab,\' said Johnson. \'I stayed at Tiffany\'s apartment. I remember she had a driver who would take us places. > \'But when I went back there was a party that night.

You could tell she was being pushed at her end.\' > Johnson was told she wouldn\'t have to participate in another party because it was a private set up with another girl. > \'I agreed, I got the ticket and I did the whole thing of "going to grandma\'s" and got a cab. > \'I got to New York and was taken to Jeffrey Epstein\'s house. I was taken to a room and it was me and another girl were cleaning and we would have an encounter and he [Trump] would come in.\' > She described a sordid role play in which her and another underage girl were dressed as maids and she claims they were forced to \'make out\' with each other. > She alleges Trump - or the man she claims was Trump - entered the room and feigned surprise at seeing the two girls. > Johnson said: \'Maria was around the same age as me, it was pretty obvious. I felt she was going through the same thing as me, in that she was being forced to be there somehow. > \'So we cleaned and then very clumsily kissed and Trump caught us making out on the job as part of the role play.\' > She claims \'Trump\' ordered the two girls to carry out a string of sex acts on each other and on him. > \'Again he finished and said we both could have done it better and then left. We never saw him again that night.\' > She added: \'At that point, after these three encounters, the type of man he was, I thought that he was a creepy guy, a molester who wanted sex with these girls. He\'s older than my dad, I felt like he was evil, I was scared of him.\' > Again she went home to Oklahoma in tears but there was to be one final trip to New York. > \'Tiffany would call me and check on me. Then she was like, "Hey I have something", but she was like, "this is the time though, if you can do this we will set you up. You\'ll be getting a contract tonight". > \'She didn\'t say what agency but she said I would be signed by an agency that night if I decided to go. > \'I was like, "well what\'s the worst that could happen", I thought the worst had already been happening.\' > \'She [Tiffany] told me it was a role play but she didn\'t tell me what kind until I got there,\' she recalls. \'And so I\'m freaking out, I\'m like, so you want to tie me to a bed and play out a rape scene with a man. > \'It was just going to be that and that\'s what he [Trump] wanted.\' > Johnson made sure Tiffany stayed in the room and says \'Trump\' agreed reluctantly to allow her. > \'He was pretty rough with me, I was already tied to the bed. I didn\'t really know it was gonna be that, he pushed me around and tore off my clothes,\' she alleges. > She says she thought she would have to stimulate the real estate mogul orally or manually as had happened before. > \'It was like he was going for one thing, it was basically to have intercourse and I started crying and I asked him to stop and I asked Tiffany to come over, but he kept on,\' she claims. > Johnson, who says she was a virgin, said Tiffany tried to intervene, but she was pushed away. > She says: \'It was basically like he was doing it, he was like, "what did you think this was gonna be?" He was very abrasive and I just started crying and I screamed and said "please don\'t", and he slapped me and told me to shut up and then he ripped my panties off. > \'He had sex with me without me wanting to. He was disgusted by the fact I was crying. > \'He got up and started putting on my clothes and basically he was disgusted by the fact I was crying.\' > Johnson says she recalls saying to Tiffany in ear shot of the man she claims was Trump that she could get pregnant because he didn\'t use a condom. > But she said: \'Trump basically said that I should be proud that he would even allow me the opportunity and if I got pregnant I could get an abortion.\' > With that, she says, \'Trump\' threw $400 on to the floor in her direction. > \'Tiffany made clear she wasn\'t happy with him and then Jeffrey Epstein came in and he saw that there was money on the floor and got mad, he asked if I had asked for the money and said that he was gonna be the one to pay me and said it wasn\'t mine to take.\' > Johnson said that Epstein also tried to have sex with her but she says she managed to \'fight him off\' and he got really angry and made a series of threats to her. > According to the lawsuit Epstein also raped her on that occasion. > The woman identified only as Tiffany Doe in the lawsuit, a \'trusted employee\' of Epstein\'s,\' corroborated Johnson\'s\' allegations in a telephone call with DailyMail.com, but she refused to reveal her full identity.

It\'s pretty awful and powerful, and easy to see how vulnerable she is, if you possess even an atom of empathy. It\'s worth reading, so here is most of it, in two parts: > She told DailyMail.com about how she first came to jump on a Greyhound bus from small town Oklahoma to New York in a bid to pursue her dream of becoming a model. She was just 13. > Her nightmare began, she says, when her parents separated when she was just eight and her mother moved them to Washington state. > Her mom then met a new man who was physically and verbally abusive and made her life hell. > Unable to cope Johnson says she decided to move back to Oklahoma to live with her father who had set up home with a new woman. > But life was no easier there either. > The one thing that kept Johnson going was her dream of becoming a fashion model. > She began to save money earned through baby-sitting for relatives so she could make a trip to New York to visit modeling agencies there. > She recalls: \'I got there and went to several modeling agencies but was told that I needed to put together a modeling portfolio before I would be considered, some wouldn\'t even see me. At that point my heart sank, I felt dejected. > \'I then went to the Port Authority [bus and coach terminal] to start to make my way back home. There I met a woman on a bench who introduced herself to me as Tiffany. > \'She was nice and told me about the parties and said that, if I would join her at the parties, I would be introduced to people who could get me into modeling. She said she helped girls like me get to where they want to get. She also said I\'d be paid.\' > Her account was that on that very first night, she met Donald Trump. > Tiffany said there was a party and she took Johnson to meet Epstein at a mansion on 71st Street in Manhattan, that had belonged to retail magnate Leslie H. Wexner of The Limited and was turned over to Epstein. > Johnson recalls that the house was \'filled with expensive things\' and she felt out of place. > It is certainly true that Epstein held parties at the house, and that he is a pedophile. In the course of DailyMail.com\'s investigations, we spoke to \'Tiffany\', who offered a similar account of events, but no actual evidence to back her assertions. > \'Tiffany\' also decline to provide her own true identity. > In Johnson\'s version, she told DailyMail.com how Epstein asked her to strip down to her \'panties\' during an impromptu interview before requesting that she give him a massage. > Fueled by Tiffany\'s assertion that she would have to do certain things to make it as a professional model she agreed, she claimed. > Johnson claimed that even at that first meeting Epstein tried to have sex with her but she refused. > He told her at the end: \'You\'ll do, you\'ve got the job.\' > And that night at the party - which she says was filled with men and young girls - she would meet Donald Trump, she claimed. > Johnson acknowledges that she had no idea who Donald Trump was at the time. > But she claims that she would never forget his face and it was only years later when Trump starred in The Apprentice that she recognized the man she says sexually assaulted her. > That may be the crucial flaw in her story. > She claims the businessman, who in the summer of 1994 was 48, saw her and requested her company through Tiffany. > She said: \'He didn\'t really talk to me at all, he spoke at me, but he was talking to Tiffany more telling her what he wanted me to do. I thought he felt like he was too good to even speak to me. > \'Tiffany told me what I needed to do. Anything he did say to me wasn\'t that great, like "you need some work". I was 13 I didn\'t know what I was doing.\' > Johnson recalls how Tiffany explained how to sexually stimulate Trump. > \'Tiffany explained it like it was second nature - like I should have known what those things meant. This night I was supposed to manually stimulate him and I needed to use a glove for whatever reason,\' she said. > She added: \'And I did not know what she meant at first, I had only kissed a boy at that point, I didn\'t know what to do. She (Tiffany) wanted to give me a crash course, the whole time I\'m not wanting to do it. > \'But she\'s like, "that\'s how models get in to the industry", and if I wanted to be a model bad enough then I would do it.\' > Johnson says the man she claims to be Trump said very little to her during that first encounter other than she reminded him of his daughter. > After Johnson finished the sex act, she claims, he made a comment that she \'wasn\'t great\', before putting on his pants. > \'He left, I don\'t know whether he went to another girl, but that was the last time I saw him that night,\' she said. > Before she left the party Epstein gave her $700. > Tiffany then drove Johnson back to the Port Authority bus terminal and she returned home to Oklahoma in the early hours. During the long journey home she broke down in tears. > \'I cried for a while, I didn\'t know what to do. I was in this dilemma,\' she said. \'I can\'t tell my parents where I went - I didn\'t think they were gonna understand. It would be more than a grounding. > \'I felt that I needed to go back and pretend it never happened.\' > But then just a few days later Epstein\'s recruiter Tiffany called Johnson at home. > Tiffany told her she was mailing her a plane ticket back to New York, there would be money in with it and she also promised to set up a meeting with a director of a modeling agency. > \'She promised to get me into modeling, to get me some gigs and organize my portfolio,\' she said. > \'I felt that at least what happened at the last party wouldn\'t have been a waste and at least I get to do what I came for.\' > Tiffany had told Johnson to keep the encounters secret from her friends and family and made veiled threats that she might get hurt if she lets the secret out because she was dealing with \'powerful people\'. > \'Within a couple of weeks I was heading back to New York. Tiffany had sent me some kind of buddy pass for the flight and money for a cab,\' said Johnson. \'I stayed at Tiffany\'s apartment. I remember she had a driver who would take us places. > \'But when I went back there was a party that night. She (Tiffany) was basically ready when she drove up to the airport to pick me up, my plane had been delayed. I asked her if we could go to her house but basically I changed in the back. > \'When I got to the mansion it was basically the same thing, kind of meet people, entertain people, walk around. If someone requests something of you then... > \'Again Tiffany said I got requested and it was the same guy as before, it was Trump. And I was to give him oral sex. > \'I had never done that to anybody so I was a little nervous, so I walked up to him and moved in that direction and he kind of slapped me away and said, "what are you doing, you need to put a condom on"\'. > Tiffany ran over and handed Johnson a condom and apologized profusely to the man she claims was Trump. [Continued in reply below]', '>>{Paracortex} : [Continued] > \'I felt very intimidated, he made a comment that I wasn\'t doing it right, that I needed to take classes,\' she said. \'He continued to let me do it, he didn\'t tell me to stop. He said something to Tiffany a couple of time, "tell her to go faster". > \'Tiffany was close by, then after a little while, I guess he was done with it and he went. I didn\'t see him again that night.\' > Tears welling in her eyes, Johnson added: \'I knew it was wrong, I didn\'t want to do it, I was scared. I wanted it to be over. > \'I was worried what my dad was gonna think, I didn\'t want him to ever find out, I felt pretty horrible.\' > She was again enticed back to New York for a third time that summer with the promise of a photo shoot and a hook up with a modeling agency. > She claims: \'It was within a few days of the second visit Tiffany called me and said, "You\'ve been requested for a fantasy role play". You could tell she was being pushed at her end.\' > Johnson was told she wouldn\'t have to participate in another party because it was a private set up with another girl. > \'I agreed, I got the ticket and I did the whole thing of "going to grandma\'s" and got a cab. > \'I got to New York and was taken to Jeffrey Epstein\'s house. I was taken to a room and it was me and another girl were cleaning and we would have an encounter and he [Trump] would come in.\' > She described a sordid role play in which her and another underage girl were dressed as maids and she claims they were forced to \'make out\' with each other. > She alleges Trump - or the man she claims was Trump - entered the room and feigned surprise at seeing the two girls. > Johnson said: \'Maria was around the same age as me, it was pretty obvious. I felt she was going through the same thing as me, in that she was being forced to be there somehow. > \'So we cleaned and then very clumsily kissed and Trump caught us making out on the job as part of the role play.\' > She claims \'Trump\' ordered the two girls to carry out a string of sex acts on each other and on him. > \'Again he finished and said we both could have done it better and then left. We never saw him again that night.\' > She added: \'At that point, after these three encounters, the type of man he was, I thought that he was a creepy guy, a molester who wanted sex with these girls. He\'s older than my dad, I felt like he was evil, I was scared of him.\' > Again she went home to Oklahoma in tears but there was to be one final trip to New York. > \'Tiffany would call me and check on me. Then she was like, "Hey I have something", but she was like, "this is the time though, if you can do this we will set you up. You\'ll be getting a contract tonight". > \'She didn\'t say what agency but she said I would be signed by an agency that night if I decided to go. > \'I was like, "well what\'s the worst that could happen", I thought the worst had already been happening.\' > \'She [Tiffany] told me it was a role play but she didn\'t tell me what kind until I got there,\' she recalls. \'And so I\'m freaking out, I\'m like, so you want to tie me to a bed and play out a rape scene with a man. > \'It was just going to be that and that\'s what he [Trump] wanted.\' > Johnson made sure Tiffany stayed in the room and says \'Trump\' agreed reluctantly to allow her. > \'He was pretty rough with me, I was already tied to the bed. I didn\'t really know it was gonna be that, he pushed me around and tore off my clothes,\' she alleges. > She says she thought she would have to stimulate the real estate mogul orally or manually as had happened before. > \'It was like he was going for one thing, it was basically to have intercourse and I started crying and I asked him to stop and I asked Tiffany to come over, but he kept on,\' she claims. > Johnson, who says she was a virgin, said Tiffany tried to intervene, but she was pushed away. > She says: \'It was basically like he was doing it, he was like, "what did you think this was gonna be?" He was very abrasive and I just started crying and I screamed and said "please don\'t", and he slapped me and told me to shut up and then he ripped my panties off. > \'He had sex with me without me wanting to. He was disgusted by the fact I was crying. > \'He got up and started putting on my clothes and basically he was disgusted by the fact I was crying.\' > Johnson says she recalls saying to Tiffany in ear shot of the man she claims was Trump that she could get pregnant because he didn\'t use a condom. > But she said: \'Trump basically said that I should be proud that he would even allow me the opportunity and if I got pregnant I could get an abortion.\' > With that, she says, \'Trump\' threw $400 on to the floor in her direction. > \'Tiffany made clear she wasn\'t happy with him and then Jeffrey Epstein came in and he saw that there was money on the floor and got mad, he asked if I had asked for the money and said that he was gonna be the one to pay me and said it wasn\'t mine to take.\' > Johnson said that Epstein also tried to have sex with her but she says she managed to \'fight him off\' and he got really angry and made a series of threats to her. > According to the lawsuit Epstein also raped her on that occasion. > The woman identified only as Tiffany Doe in the lawsuit, a \'trusted employee\' of Epstein\'s,\' corroborated Johnson\'s\' allegations in a telephone call with DailyMail.com, but she refused to reveal her full identity.

The homicide rates for the previous 5 years (starting with 2016): 277, 280, 248, 246, 331, 326. So, year-to-year variations of +-20% are normal in the previous data, even though it has been decreasing quickly. And, the past 5 years for early January murder-rates-so-far has varied by up to 60%, but sometimes as little as 0%. It's an extremely noisy value that is completely useless for predicting the year's trends. For example, from 2013 to 2014, the first 24 days of January saw a 41% increase in homicides.

I've seen this happen months on end. There is indeed a narrative of negativity.

If the race is in a district the deck is stacked for the Republicans. The House Congressional delegation have 10 Republicans and 3 Democrats. The State House and Senate have veto proof majorities.

In the long term, a lot of issues that are based on minority votes right now (poorer areas vs richer ones, the problems with race and laws, religious intolerance, etc) would largely be fixed. One of the best side effect of democracy is that when push comes to shove, most people are willing to compromise to get the job done. Like how most registered republicans voted for Trump even if they hated him, they believed that the people *around* him and in congress will push their views. The end result of ending gerrymandering this way could very well be a more united country. Of course, for this to work properly, several other steps have to be taken as well. Significantly expand the House so it and the EC more accurately populations (1 representative per 350,000 people). There would need to be a *National* voter registration system that automatically registers every voter. There would have to be a law passed that decrees a minimal amount of polling places as well as their locations to make sure every American has the chance to vote.

If the race is in a district the deck is stacked for the Republicans. The House Congressional delegation have 10 Republicans and 3 Democrats. The State House and Senate have veto proof majorities.

In the long term, a lot of issues that are based on minority votes right now (poorer areas vs richer ones, the problems with race and laws, religious intolerance, etc) would largely be fixed. One of the best side effect of democracy is that when push comes to shove, most people are willing to compromise to get the job done. Like how most registered republicans voted for Trump even if they hated him, they believed that the people *around* him and in congress will push their views. The end result of ending gerrymandering this way could very well be a more united country. Of course, for this to work properly, several other steps have to be taken as well. Significantly expand the House so it and the EC more accurately populations (1 representative per 350,000 people). There would need to be a *National* voter registration system that automatically registers every voter. There would have to be a law passed that decrees a minimal amount of polling places as well as their locations to make sure every American has the chance to vote.

These are the same people that say the second is for hunting; they are completely lying: >If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. The usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo. The smaller the extent of the territory, the more difficult will it be for the people to form a regular or systematic plan of opposition, and the more easy will it be to defeat their early efforts. Intelligence can be more speedily obtained of their preparations and movements, and the military force in the possession of the usurpers can be more rapidly directed against the part where the opposition has begun. In this situation there must be a peculiar coincidence of circumstances to insure success to the popular resistance. >The obstacles to usurpation and the facilities of resistance increase with the increased extent of the state, provided the citizens understand their rights and are disposed to defend them. The natural strength of the people in a large community, in proportion to the artificial strength of the government, is greater than in a small, and of course more competent to a struggle with the attempts of the government to establish a tyranny. But in a confederacy the people, without exaggeration, may be said to be entirely the masters of their own fate. Power being almost always the rival of power, the general government will at all times stand ready to check the usurpations of the state governments, and these will have the same disposition towards the general government. The people, by throwing themselves into either scale, will infallibly make it preponderate. If their rights are invaded by either, they can make use of the other as the instrument of redress. How wise will it be in them by cherishing the union to preserve to themselves an advantage which can never be too highly prized! >It may safely be received as an axiom in our political system, that the State governments will, in all possible contingencies, afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority. Projects of usurpation cannot be masked under pretenses so likely to escape the penetration of select bodies of men, as of the people at large. The legislatures will have better means of information. They can discover the danger at a distance; and possessing all the organs of civil power, and the confidence of the people, they can at once adopt a regular plan of opposition, in which they can combine all the resources of the community. They can readily communicate with each other in the different States, and unite their common forces for the protection of their common liberty. >The great extent of the country is a further security. We have already experienced its utility against the attacks of a foreign power. And it would have precisely the same effect against the enterprises of ambitious rulers in the national councils. If the federal army should be able to quell the resistance of one State, the distant States would have it in their power to make head with fresh forces. The advantages obtained in one place must be abandoned to subdue the opposition in others; and the moment the part which had been reduced to submission was left to itself, its efforts would be renewed, and its resistance revive. >We should recollect that the extent of the military force must, at all events, be regulated by the resources of the country. For a long time to come, it will not be possible to maintain a large army; and as the means of doing this increase, the population and natural strength of the community will proportionably increase. When will the time arrive that the federal government can raise and maintain an army capable of erecting a despotism over the great body of the people of an immense empire, who are in a situation, through the medium of their State governments, to take measures for their own defense, with all the celerity, regularity, and system of independent nations?

These are the same people that say the second is for hunting; they are completely lying: >If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. The usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo. The smaller the extent of the territory, the more difficult will it be for the people to form a regular or systematic plan of opposition, and the more easy will it be to defeat their early efforts. Intelligence can be more speedily obtained of their preparations and movements, and the military force in the possession of the usurpers can be more rapidly directed against the part where the opposition has begun. In this situation there must be a peculiar coincidence of circumstances to insure success to the popular resistance. >The obstacles to usurpation and the facilities of resistance increase with the increased extent of the state, provided the citizens understand their rights and are disposed to defend them. The natural strength of the people in a large community, in proportion to the artificial strength of the government, is greater than in a small, and of course more competent to a struggle with the attempts of the government to establish a tyranny. But in a confederacy the people, without exaggeration, may be said to be entirely the masters of their own fate. Power being almost always the rival of power, the general government will at all times stand ready to check the usurpations of the state governments, and these will have the same disposition towards the general government. The people, by throwing themselves into either scale, will infallibly make it preponderate. If their rights are invaded by either, they can make use of the other as the instrument of redress. How wise will it be in them by cherishing the union to preserve to themselves an advantage which can never be too highly prized! >It may safely be received as an axiom in our political system, that the State governments will, in all possible contingencies, afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority. Projects of usurpation cannot be masked under pretenses so likely to escape the penetration of select bodies of men, as of the people at large. The legislatures will have better means of information. They can discover the danger at a distance; and possessing all the organs of civil power, and the confidence of the people, they can at once adopt a regular plan of opposition, in which they can combine all the resources of the community. They can readily communicate with each other in the different States, and unite their common forces for the protection of their common liberty. >The great extent of the country is a further security. We have already experienced its utility against the attacks of a foreign power. And it would have precisely the same effect against the enterprises of ambitious rulers in the national councils. If the federal army should be able to quell the resistance of one State, the distant States would have it in their power to make head with fresh forces. The advantages obtained in one place must be abandoned to subdue the opposition in others; and the moment the part which had been reduced to submission was left to itself, its efforts would be renewed, and its resistance revive. >We should recollect that the extent of the military force must, at all events, be regulated by the resources of the country. For a long time to come, it will not be possible to maintain a large army; and as the means of doing this increase, the population and natural strength of the community will proportionably increase. When will the time arrive that the federal government can raise and maintain an army capable of erecting a despotism over the great body of the people of an immense empire, who are in a situation, through the medium of their State governments, to take measures for their own defense, with all the celerity, regularity, and system of independent nations?

Yes Sure, they can watch him. >If there is truly no problem than they would be able to get a gun---as the Democrats bill says. No. I would rather there be a process.

He was also only on the FBI's watchlist, not the No Fly List. If you are talking to terrorists, you should not have a gun. It's that simple. There is a process. You can contest the FBI's ruling in court. All these people would have been able to get a gun. The Republican bill only gives them three days. It is not enough time to make an individual case, so nothing would have changed.", ">>{MrWigglesworth2} : >Why do you think people are on the terror watchlist? Mistakes. Because they protested against a government agency and someone in that agency added them just to punish them. These things are quite frequent with these lists. >That doesn't mean they are guilty, but does the state have an interest in watching them? Yes. And *watching* them is fine. Actively taking away their rights isn't. >If there is truly no problem than they would be able to get a gun---as the Democrats bill says. Maybe. Someday. After they prove themselves innocent, rather than the government proving they're a threat. That is not acceptable. If the government wants to take away someones rights, its on the government to prove its warranted, not the other way around. As it is, the Republican proposal only required the government to show probable cause. That is not a high bar to clear. That's the same level it takes to get a search warrant.

While the size doesn't seem like much, 4in phones make it much easier to reach all parts of the phone. My left thumb can reach the top right corner. Something that my 6 didn't have. My male pockets are deep, but I still prefer a smaller phone. The keyboard keys are close enough together that it's easy (and faster for me) to type on, but not so tiny that you struggle (Blackberry.) The 6s and SE share the same processor and back camera. The only thing worse on the SE is the front camera, and potentially, Force Touch. The front camera is still able to take relatively decent photos, and not many people care about Force Touch. The SE is $250 cheaper. A lot of people are on BYOD plans, having to shell out the full price of the phone. They have no option to pay $30 a month for the phone. Also, $18 a month for a phone is easier than $30 for some people as well. The battery life on the SE is so much better than the 6s. I can go almost two days on mine where my boyfriend can only go a day on his 6s. The SE is the design a lot of people love. Especially coming from a 5/5c/5S. The blockiness is incredibly comfortable. Some people hate the camera bump as well. The SE has way fewer problems than the 6s did. Battery issues plagued the 6s, but the SE didn't have any issues. The 7 peels, but if they used the same SE case, it wouldn't. Now, this is because Apple saw how the [5's body took damage](https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/iphone-5-scuffs-640x353.jpg) and fixed it for the most part. The 5s' shiny border around the screen ended up looking terrible after some use, so they went matte for the SE. ******* I would love for an SE to come out with next generation hardware.

The SE has some straight advantages over the other iPhones too. It\'s the cheapest iPhone, gets better battery life than any 4.7" iPhone, and charges the fastest of any iPhone (fastest to 100% of any phone period).

Depending the size of ones hands, mere inches means the difference between a phone meant for one handed use and a phone that needs to be used with two hands. Also, as I never use an iPhone without a case, a case would increase the size even more. I bought a 64GB SE back in May 2016 and upgraded from a 5s. For me it is the perfect size (you can use the phone one handed which comes in handy if your carrying say a briefcase in your other hand). It has the exact same dimensions as the 5 and 5s which means there was already a huge array of accessories that would fit it (including cheap accessories that were marked down in price or sold used for cheap, which allowed me to buy all of my Olloclip lenses made for the 5/5s cheap. It meant I could reuse my Spigen Tough Armor case that I had for my 5s that I love. It meant I could keep using my favorite Marware leather hip case which fits it perfectly.

I know some people that still use them and not because they're poor either. I prefer the big + but that's just our individual preference.", ">>{ScrewSnow} : As someone who went from a 6 to an SE, here's my reasoning. While the size doesn't seem like much, 4in phones make it much easier to reach all parts of the phone. My left thumb can reach the top right corner. Something that my 6 didn't have. My male pockets are deep, but I still prefer a smaller phone. The keyboard keys are close enough together that it's easy (and faster for me) to type on, but not so tiny that you struggle (Blackberry.) The 6s and SE share the same processor and back camera. The only thing worse on the SE is the front camera, and potentially, Force Touch. The front camera is still able to take relatively decent photos, and not many people care about Force Touch. The SE is $250 cheaper. A lot of people are on BYOD plans, having to shell out the full price of the phone. They have no option to pay $30 a month for the phone. Also, $18 a month for a phone is easier than $30 for some people as well. The battery life on the SE is so much better than the 6s. I can go almost two days on mine where my boyfriend can only go a day on his 6s. The SE is the design a lot of people love. Especially coming from a 5/5c/5S. The blockiness is incredibly comfortable. Some people hate the camera bump as well. The SE has way fewer problems than the 6s did. Battery issues plagued the 6s, but the SE didn't have any issues. The 7 peels, but if they used the same SE case, it wouldn't. Now, this is because Apple saw how the [5's body took damage](https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/iphone-5-scuffs-640x353.jpg) and fixed it for the most part. The 5s' shiny border around the screen ended up looking terrible after some use, so they went matte for the SE. ******* I would love for an SE to come out with next generation hardware. The perfect SE would have Force Touch and 128gb/256gb options. Apple didn't really expect the SE to do as well as it did, but there's a market for smaller phones (See: Galaxy S Mini series.)", '>>{greatcaffeine} : Even with small hands, it\'s easy to reach every corner of the iPhone SE screen with one hand. There\'s a reason Apple had to introduce the Reachability feature when they announced the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Aside from that, I think the shape also makes it a lot easier to hold. The iPhone 6, 6s, and 7 are all very slippery compared to the previous models. I\'ve had a couple close calls where my larger iPhones have almost slipped out of my hand, but I never had that problem with the 4" and smaller models.', '>>{AnAttractivePenguin} : Not really though? This is entirely up to personal opinion. The build quality and form factor of the SE is great, but the 7 has a better screen-to-body ratio.', '>>{redphan} : For me, one handed use on the SE is significantly better than a 4.7". I can reach all parts of the screen easily and comfortably on the SE. On a 4.7" it\'s a bit of a strain to touch some spots and a balancing act to get to the opposite upper corner. The SE has some straight advantages over the other iPhones too. It\'s the cheapest iPhone, gets better battery life than any 4.7" iPhone, and charges the fastest of any iPhone (fastest to 100% of any phone period). Also has a headphone jack, unlike the 7.', '>>{mdm_} : I currently have a Galaxy S7 and am planning to switch to an SE in the near future. It will be my first iPhone. Mostly agree with your points, but I\'ll add: * The SE seems much better suited for working out and running because of it\'s size. I feel like I could get one of those arm bands for it and forget I\'m even carrying a phone * It\'s the most affordable iPhone, yet still seems to have better performance (perceived, at least) than my S7 * I don\'t really need a big phone. I\'ve had big phones and they\'re really awkward for most of the stuff I use a phone for, e.g. streaming music, texting my wife, grocery lists, email, news, calendar. I\'ve dropped my S7 many times because I was trying to use it one-handed and it slipped out of my hand. The main argument for big screens is games and video, but if I want to play games or watch video, I have numerous game consoles/handhelds (with better games, but I digress), a smart TV, and a tablet. * It\'s a classic design. It\'s like if Porsche brought out a new 911 "Classic" that looked like [this](http://911evolution.com/sites/default/files/styles/header_image_medium/public/media/Turbo_0/1986-Porsche-911-Turbo_edited.jpg?itok=ptEgyxV0) but had modern technology, safety features, infotainment systems, etc and cost 20% less than a current model 911. There would be a strong niche of people who would buy the shit out of that.', '>>{mmaireenehc} : Because different people have different tastes. You may think the difference between 4" and 4.7" is negligible, but to other people it\'s that difference that makes the phone more pocketable or ergonomic.', ">>{Dark_Fiber} : Size and price are big reasons why people prefer the SE over the larger iPhones. Depending the size of ones hands, mere inches means the difference between a phone meant for one handed use and a phone that needs to be used with two hands. Also, as I never use an iPhone without a case, a case would increase the size even more. I bought a 64GB SE back in May 2016 and upgraded from a 5s. For me it is the perfect size (you can use the phone one handed which comes in handy if your carrying say a briefcase in your other hand). It has the exact same dimensions as the 5 and 5s which means there was already a huge array of accessories that would fit it (including cheap accessories that were marked down in price or sold used for cheap, which allowed me to buy all of my Olloclip lenses made for the 5/5s cheap. It meant I could reuse my Spigen Tough Armor case that I had for my 5s that I love. It meant I could keep using my favorite Marware leather hip case which fits it perfectly. The SE has the same CPU/GPU and rear camera as the 6s (which actually performs a little better since it doesn't have to drive the same sized screen as the 6s.) The battery life was/is the best of any iPhone. It cost less than the the 6s/6s Plus. True the SE doesn't have Force Touch but as I never had it I don't miss it. It doesn't have the better front facing camera as the 6s/7 but as I don't take many selfies (I'm not a teenage girl) that doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, there are times I would love to have a larger screen (like when my iPhone is docked in my car and I am using the GPS Navigation) but it's not worth the size tradeoffs to me.", '>>{Lamargoodman} : I went from a Huawei P8 to a 5s and personally I find the size far more manageable , however the keyboard can often feel cramped compared to larger phones .', '>>{suomyn0na} : The SE is completely usable with 1 hand.

The larger the scale and scope of government, the more incentive firms have to 'buy' influence. I can understand the anti-libertarian argument of wanting government to heavily regulate the economy, but that will ALWAYS come hand-in-hand with increased lobbying. There used to be a time when we broke up monopolies that controlled markets once companies got too big. Now big corporations are basically cartels that help write regulations to make it harder for new companies to compete on their turf. Being against corporate influence is one of the top reasons I'm a Libertarian. I do also have a soft-spot for safety nets too and that's probably my biggest conflict. I really like the idea of Universal Basic Income, which was originally a libertarian idea. There's a lot of 'liberaltarians' who are okay with the idea of redistribution as long as it doesn't involve people picking who 'deserves' what with their own biases. UBI also does aware with the conflicting work incentives in general welfare programs.", '>>{gruntznclickz} : They want to get rid of, basically, all regulations. This declaws the government, and therefore, the people, of any power to regulate the actions of corporations. I do understand the argument of "if government is powerful people will use money to gain access to the power and then use the power to benefit themselves" but the libertarian "solution", "make government powerless so that no one can buy that power" is short sighted. Libertarians love to claim this would somehow bring about good. All we have to do is go look back at how things were before government regulations. Things like the meat industry, working conditions, snake oil salesmen, etc. It was not a better time. What would stop those same things from occurring today if we got rid of regulations? Yes, I realize there are still products being sold that do not do what they promise and there are still occurrences of industries flouting regulations, but without regulation at all it would be a free for all.', ">>{d00ns} : > His fiscal policies are insane.

If that happens, we the people, will be left hoping and praying that institutions created and run with the *sole purpose* of making as much profit as possible will do the right thing instead of acting in self interest. That\'s a pipe dream. Corporations don\'t care about the environment, you, me, or anything else, just $$$.', ">>{gruntznclickz} : There's the underlying problem of our nation and society... we need to remove all money from politics. All campaigns should be publically financed with a set amount of money for all candidates so that undue influence is removed. Once that happens the actual representatives of the people can write them, it has happened before. Now, instead of only giving me the socratic method, let's apply it to your hypothesis.

Come on now. That's a worn out straw-man.

They are against regulations that impact free trade and commerce. -Ensuring food companies can't sell poison: good regulation -Sugar tariffs that protect a small group of producers at consumer's expense: bad regulation Gary Johnson has made it clear that he's all for increased regulation on food labeling. He's also supports the EPA to protect people and the environment from harm and is even open to a carbon fee. Only the most extreme anarcho capitalist libertarians say things like 'end all regulation!', they are like marxists on the left who call for nationalizing every industry and outlawing personal property. Gary's platform is to reduce federal spending by 20%. There's a massive list of things he'd cut that would easily achieve that goal before safety regulations even entered the conversation.", '>>{ThatIsJustOK} : lets pretend your right. hes still better than trump or hillary. even if you disagree with alot of what he believes', ">>{d00ns} : I agree money in politics is a problem, but even if everything is publically funded, the problem isn't solved. Campaign spending pales in comparison to the billions in free advertising candidates receive from the media. We would also have to ban media agencies from mentioning one candidate more than another, severely restricting the 1st amendment. (I do remember reading about some cities in Europe that actually do this.) As far as regulation, the libertarian argument is to have government write no law, and let the market decide. I think in the information age, this is actually practical and would work much better at regulating bad behavior, though of course, there are flaws in each approach."]

But it\'s awful hard... to take a whole lot of money from a group that you know has a particular position, and if you conclude that they\'re wrong, vote no. So ladies and gentleman, I predict one day, the American people are going to wake up, and they\'re going to demand change." [5:03] > "You outta be demanding of all of us. All of us.

The experiment hasn't worked well, but towards the end of the fusion townhall I thought he did a good job of laying out what the situation was at the time (New Mexico had a prison problem and needed reform) and he said he wants to know of any abuses and wouldn't pursue that policy if the problems were systemic.

Or, at least he was the only one who criticized corporate money in politics and ran his campaign without the need for said corporate donations. But, unfortunately that wasn't the most important issue for voters.", ">>{nathanb131} : You have the corporation influence part backwards. The larger the scale and scope of government, the more incentive firms have to 'buy' influence. I can understand the anti-libertarian argument of wanting government to heavily regulate the economy, but that will ALWAYS come hand-in-hand with increased lobbying. There used to be a time when we broke up monopolies that controlled markets once companies got too big. Now big corporations are basically cartels that help write regulations to make it harder for new companies to compete on their turf. Being against corporate influence is one of the top reasons I'm a Libertarian. I do also have a soft-spot for safety nets too and that's probably my biggest conflict. I really like the idea of Universal Basic Income, which was originally a libertarian idea. There's a lot of 'liberaltarians' who are okay with the idea of redistribution as long as it doesn't involve people picking who 'deserves' what with their own biases. UBI also does aware with the conflicting work incentives in general welfare programs.", '>>{gruntznclickz} : They want to get rid of, basically, all regulations. This declaws the government, and therefore, the people, of any power to regulate the actions of corporations. I do understand the argument of "if government is powerful people will use money to gain access to the power and then use the power to benefit themselves" but the libertarian "solution", "make government powerless so that no one can buy that power" is short sighted. Libertarians love to claim this would somehow bring about good. All we have to do is go look back at how things were before government regulations. Things like the meat industry, working conditions, snake oil salesmen, etc. It was not a better time. What would stop those same things from occurring today if we got rid of regulations? Yes, I realize there are still products being sold that do not do what they promise and there are still occurrences of industries flouting regulations, but without regulation at all it would be a free for all.', ">>{d00ns} : > His fiscal policies are insane. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but luckily we have a record of his policies in action. In practice they were great. He was governor of New Mexico for 8 years.

Since the regulations were written by corporate lobbyists, don't you want to get rid of them too?", '>>{gruntznclickz} : No, I want them rewritten to get rid of "special cases" for specific companies and industries and enforced vigorously. What I don\'t want is for our government to be completely powerless. If that happens, we the people, will be left hoping and praying that institutions created and run with the *sole purpose* of making as much profit as possible will do the right thing instead of acting in self interest. That\'s a pipe dream. Corporations don\'t care about the environment, you, me, or anything else, just $$$.', ">>{gruntznclickz} : There's the underlying problem of our nation and society... we need to remove all money from politics. All campaigns should be publically financed with a set amount of money for all candidates so that undue influence is removed. Once that happens the actual representatives of the people can write them, it has happened before. Now, instead of only giving me the socratic method, let's apply it to your hypothesis. What about the libertarian ideas counter the effects I brought up? We aren't having a conversation here because you aren't acknowledging anything I'm saying.", ">>{nathanb131} : all regulations? Come on now. That's a worn out straw-man. Libertarians think government should protect people from harming other people...which is precisely the purpose of the consumer and environmental regulations you listed. They are against regulations that impact free trade and commerce. -Ensuring food companies can't sell poison: good regulation -Sugar tariffs that protect a small group of producers at consumer's expense: bad regulation Gary Johnson has made it clear that he's all for increased regulation on food labeling. He's also supports the EPA to protect people and the environment from harm and is even open to a carbon fee. Only the most extreme anarcho capitalist libertarians say things like 'end all regulation!', they are like marxists on the left who call for nationalizing every industry and outlawing personal property. Gary's platform is to reduce federal spending by 20%. There's a massive list of things he'd cut that would easily achieve that goal before safety regulations even entered the conversation.", '>>{ThatIsJustOK} : lets pretend your right. hes still better than trump or hillary. even if you disagree with alot of what he believes', ">>{d00ns} : I agree money in politics is a problem, but even if everything is publically funded, the problem isn't solved. Campaign spending pales in comparison to the billions in free advertising candidates receive from the media. We would also have to ban media agencies from mentioning one candidate more than another, severely restricting the 1st amendment. (I do remember reading about some cities in Europe that actually do this.) As far as regulation, the libertarian argument is to have government write no law, and let the market decide.

The manufacturing plant that makes our top product has also expanded to a second facility (here in the U.S.) We were able to weather the repeated crises of government shutdowns and failures to pass highway bills (industrial construction is a major sector of our business here in the U.S.) due to our ability to supply duty-free equipment to Canada.

Indeed, most of the stuff we reasonably believe in our day to day life (and about political matters) could never even theoretically meet these standards of evidence.', '>>{rollerhen} : They can clean up america now that they have control of the three branches of government and the educational system. The 7 mountains they are trying to control are: * Media (Bannon, Ailes, Trump) * Government (Gop controlled almost 100%) * Religion (Judeo-Christian - aka Fundamentalist Christian ) * Arts & entertainment (video games alt-right, Star Wars boycotts, Trump, etc) * Education (Betsy DeVos, defund public school system, creationism, enrich bible schools) * Business (Mercer, DeVos, prosperity gospel) * Family (This is where religion belongs, IMO) https://www.generals.org/rpn/the-seven-mountains/ The Seven Mountains of Societal Influence In 1975, Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission(YWAM), developed a God-given, world-changing strategy. Their mandate: Bring Godly change to a nation by reaching its seven spheres, or mountains, of societal influence. They concluded that in order to truly transform any nation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, these seven facets of society must be reached: Religion, Family,Education, Government, Media, Arts & Entertainment and Business. The Reformation Prayer Network’s primary goal is to be a catalyst, through prayer and righteous activism, which will bring change to these areas of societal influence. 1. RELIGION Every society has some type of belief in a superior being or beings. In the east, religions tend to be polytheistic (many gods) or outright idolatrous (such as Hinduism and Buddhism). Although these religions are thousands of years old, they nonetheless continue to thrive today. In the west, Christianity and Catholicism are predominant, but postmodern views are increasingly being accepted and the concept of God is being rejected. This is especially true in Europe. The Christian Church is described in the Greek language as the ecclesia. Literally translated, the word ecclesia means “governing body.” Although we don’t condone theocracies, this translation suggests that the Church should have great influence in all other spheres that make up a society. With a plethora of categorized religions around the world, it’s the Church’s responsibility to reach the lost with the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ, and expand the Kingdom in ministerial efforts, both nationally and internationally. 2. FAMILY In any functional society, the family is the “building block” of the community. Throughout the Bible, you will find familial examples that portray how we ought to live our lives today. God desires that men, women, and children within a family be united as one in His love. After all, He is the ultimate Father (Romans 8:14-17). The families of the United States have been under constant and prolonged attack. Today, the assailants are fatherlessness, divorce (50% rate in secular and Christian marriages), abuse, homosexual marriage, pornography, and other negative influences have brought great dysfunction to American life. God is calling fathers and mothers (both spiritual and biological) to bring order to the chaos that the enemy has unleashed against families in America. He also wants to bring healing to marriages and relationships within families in order to maintain a moral foundation for children in the future to stand upon. 3. EDUCATION At one time the education system of America unapologetically incorporated the Bible, prayer to the God of the Bible, and biblical values in every aspect of school life. Not coincidentally, this system produced a people that produced the most powerful and prosperous nation the earth has ever seen. Now, the children of our nation are inundated with liberal ideologies, atheistic teaching and postmodern principles in our public schools and in most universities (including many Christian institutions). Put simply; they are being indoctrinated with often false, biased and anti-biblical information. A re-introduction of biblical truth and Bible-centric values is the key to renewal and restoration in America’s failing educational system. 4. GOVERNMENT Proverbs 14:34 states that, “righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Many times, as exemplified in the Old Testament, a nation’s moral standards are dependent on those exhibited by its leaders (or predominant political party). While each individual is responsible for his or her own sins; the fact remains that people are greatly influenced by those moral (or lack thereof) that popular leaders adopt. The progressive liberal agenda, empowered by well-known men and women in the arts and entertainment industries, have made significant gains in the political arena over the past few decades. In fact, many liberal groups, such as the ACLU, seek to remove anything related to God or Christianity from the governmental and educational systems because of a misapplied interpretation of the phrase, “separation of church and state.” We must see a shift in this arena in order to preserve the Christian heritage that America was founded upon. The goal is to put in place righteous political leaders that will positively affect all aspects of government. 5. MEDIA The media mountain includes news sources such as radio, TV news stations, newspapers, Internet news and opinion (blog) sites and etc. The media has the potential to sway popular opinion on current issues based upon its reporting, which is not always truthful or accurate. In the 2008 elections, the liberal “elite” media played a vital role, especially in the Presidential race. Their generally supportive and positive reporting greatly influenced the outcome. There has been a rise in Christian news services, which is needed. However, to bring transformation to the mountain of media, Christians who are gifted for and called into this type of work must be willing to report righteously and truthfully in the secular marketplace. 6. ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT In this mountain we find some of the most influential forces shaping our society. Music, filmmaking, television, social media, and the performing arts drive the cultural tastes, values and standards of a nation’s citizens, particularly its youth. With a heavy reliance on the strong appeal of sex, drugs and alcohol, the arts and entertainment industries wield significant influence. The body of Christ needs powerful, righteous men and women who are not afraid to take their God-given talent into the arts and entertainment arenas. People ready to further His purposes, while impacting those who are lost in darkness and would not otherwise be interested in any kind of Christian message in traditional forms. 7. BUSINESS The ability to literally create wealth through ingenuity, enterprise, creativity and effort and is a God-given gift and a universal impulse. The markets and economic systems that emerge whenever people are free to pursue buying and selling become the lifeblood of a nation. This includes anything from farms to small businesses to large corporations. Of course this realm is prone to corruption through idolatry, greed and covetousness. In response, the Church must embrace its responsibility to train up those who are called into the marketplace to manage businesses and provide leadership with integrity and honesty. We believe it is the Lord’s will to make his people prosperous and that He desires for His Church to use its wealth to finance the work of Kingdom expansion. Simply put: Prosperity with a purpose.

The 7 mountains they are trying to control are: * Media (Bannon, Ailes, Trump) * Government (Gop controlled almost 100%) * Religion (Judeo-Christian - aka Fundamentalist Christian ) * Arts & entertainment (video games alt-right, Star Wars boycotts, Trump, etc) * Education (Betsy DeVos, defund public school system, creationism, enrich bible schools) * Business (Mercer, DeVos, prosperity gospel) * Family (This is where religion belongs, IMO) https://www.generals.org/rpn/the-seven-mountains/ The Seven Mountains of Societal Influence In 1975, Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission(YWAM), developed a God-given, world-changing strategy. Their mandate: Bring Godly change to a nation by reaching its seven spheres, or mountains, of societal influence. They concluded that in order to truly transform any nation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, these seven facets of society must be reached: Religion, Family,Education, Government, Media, Arts & Entertainment and Business. The Reformation Prayer Network’s primary goal is to be a catalyst, through prayer and righteous activism, which will bring change to these areas of societal influence. 1. RELIGION Every society has some type of belief in a superior being or beings. In the east, religions tend to be polytheistic (many gods) or outright idolatrous (such as Hinduism and Buddhism). Although these religions are thousands of years old, they nonetheless continue to thrive today. In the west, Christianity and Catholicism are predominant, but postmodern views are increasingly being accepted and the concept of God is being rejected. This is especially true in Europe. The Christian Church is described in the Greek language as the ecclesia. Literally translated, the word ecclesia means “governing body.” Although we don’t condone theocracies, this translation suggests that the Church should have great influence in all other spheres that make up a society. With a plethora of categorized religions around the world, it’s the Church’s responsibility to reach the lost with the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ, and expand the Kingdom in ministerial efforts, both nationally and internationally. 2. FAMILY In any functional society, the family is the “building block” of the community. Throughout the Bible, you will find familial examples that portray how we ought to live our lives today. God desires that men, women, and children within a family be united as one in His love. After all, He is the ultimate Father (Romans 8:14-17). The families of the United States have been under constant and prolonged attack. Today, the assailants are fatherlessness, divorce (50% rate in secular and Christian marriages), abuse, homosexual marriage, pornography, and other negative influences have brought great dysfunction to American life. God is calling fathers and mothers (both spiritual and biological) to bring order to the chaos that the enemy has unleashed against families in America. He also wants to bring healing to marriages and relationships within families in order to maintain a moral foundation for children in the future to stand upon. 3. EDUCATION At one time the education system of America unapologetically incorporated the Bible, prayer to the God of the Bible, and biblical values in every aspect of school life. Not coincidentally, this system produced a people that produced the most powerful and prosperous nation the earth has ever seen. Now, the children of our nation are inundated with liberal ideologies, atheistic teaching and postmodern principles in our public schools and in most universities (including many Christian institutions). Put simply; they are being indoctrinated with often false, biased and anti-biblical information. A re-introduction of biblical truth and Bible-centric values is the key to renewal and restoration in America’s failing educational system. 4. GOVERNMENT Proverbs 14:34 states that, “righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Many times, as exemplified in the Old Testament, a nation’s moral standards are dependent on those exhibited by its leaders (or predominant political party). While each individual is responsible for his or her own sins; the fact remains that people are greatly influenced by those moral (or lack thereof) that popular leaders adopt. The progressive liberal agenda, empowered by well-known men and women in the arts and entertainment industries, have made significant gains in the political arena over the past few decades. In fact, many liberal groups, such as the ACLU, seek to remove anything related to God or Christianity from the governmental and educational systems because of a misapplied interpretation of the phrase, “separation of church and state.” We must see a shift in this arena in order to preserve the Christian heritage that America was founded upon. The goal is to put in place righteous political leaders that will positively affect all aspects of government. 5. MEDIA The media mountain includes news sources such as radio, TV news stations, newspapers, Internet news and opinion (blog) sites and etc. The media has the potential to sway popular opinion on current issues based upon its reporting, which is not always truthful or accurate. In the 2008 elections, the liberal “elite” media played a vital role, especially in the Presidential race. Their generally supportive and positive reporting greatly influenced the outcome. There has been a rise in Christian news services, which is needed. However, to bring transformation to the mountain of media, Christians who are gifted for and called into this type of work must be willing to report righteously and truthfully in the secular marketplace. 6. ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT In this mountain we find some of the most influential forces shaping our society. Music, filmmaking, television, social media, and the performing arts drive the cultural tastes, values and standards of a nation’s citizens, particularly its youth. With a heavy reliance on the strong appeal of sex, drugs and alcohol, the arts and entertainment industries wield significant influence. The body of Christ needs powerful, righteous men and women who are not afraid to take their God-given talent into the arts and entertainment arenas. People ready to further His purposes, while impacting those who are lost in darkness and would not otherwise be interested in any kind of Christian message in traditional forms. 7. BUSINESS The ability to literally create wealth through ingenuity, enterprise, creativity and effort and is a God-given gift and a universal impulse. The markets and economic systems that emerge whenever people are free to pursue buying and selling become the lifeblood of a nation. This includes anything from farms to small businesses to large corporations. Of course this realm is prone to corruption through idolatry, greed and covetousness. In response, the Church must embrace its responsibility to train up those who are called into the marketplace to manage businesses and provide leadership with integrity and honesty. We believe it is the Lord’s will to make his people prosperous and that He desires for His Church to use its wealth to finance the work of Kingdom expansion. Simply put: Prosperity with a purpose.

[">>{whatsinaname1212} : Trump's rallies give a boost to president and his supporters", '>>{space-elevator} : Trump hypocrisy on display days after campaigning with anti-LGBTQ activists in Orlando', '>>{space-elevator} : Chad Griffin, president of HRC, today made the following statement responding to Donald Trump’s “foreign policy” speech: “The same Donald Trump who today railed against ISIS hate stood shoulder-to-shoulder with anti-LGBTQ activists five days ago in Orlando, just miles from Pulse nightclub," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "This is the same Donald Trump whose campaign manager is in the headlines today for allegedly taking millions from allies of one of the world\'s worst anti-LGBTQ dictators, and who has campaigned on promises of more anti-LGBTQ Supreme Court justices. This is also the same Donald Trump who put Mike Pence, one of the most prominent faces of discrimination in America today, on the ticket. Meanwhile, we don\'t have to guess at how Hillary Clinton will advance LGBTQ equality on a global stage -- because that\'s exactly what she did as Secretary of State. Long before Donald Trump struggled to read the letters \'LGBTQ\' off a teleprompter, Secretary Clinton went before the international community to declare that "gay rights are human rights," launched the Global Equality Fund, and pioneered the first-ever UN resolution protecting LGBTQ people.” On the two-month anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting last week, which took the lives of 49 LGBTQ people and allies, Trump courted anti-LGBTQ activists just 10 miles from the site of the tragedy in Orlando. Among the organizations attending was Liberty Counsel, which supports and defends archaic laws criminalizing homosexuality with harsh punishments around the world, and has condemned President Obama and the U.S. government for speaking out against such laws, saying, “America should not be trying to make that country act in an immoral way.” In 2011, Liberty Counsel Chairman Mat Staver said that American opposition to the criminalization of homosexuality is “immoral.” He said, “More than sixty countries have laws criminalizing homosexuality and virtually every country in the world has laws that criminalize pedophilia and child incest. Malawi was doing what it was doing in its own best interest and America should not be trying to make that country act in an immoral way.” In 2013, Staver said that Russia was “reaffirming marriage….and rejecting this radicalized Homosexual agenda.” Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber went further in 2014, praising Russia, by saying it was trying to, “...stop this homosexual activist propaganda from corrupting children in our nation, and we need to see that right here in the United States.’” Trump has also doubled down on his anti-LGBTQ agenda by putting Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on the ticket. Pence became a national disgrace in 2015, for his “license to discriminate” bill that could have allowed businesses to deny service to LGBTQ people -- and for subsequently defending the bill after an outcry from the business community and a majority of Hoosier voters. In a now notorious interview with ABC last year, Pence refused to answer eight separate times when asked whether businesses should be able to discriminate against LGBTQ people.

Before, an act of terrorism was something committed by an organized group with specific political goals.

Everyone is."], ['>>{space-elevator} : Trump hypocrisy on display days after campaigning with anti-LGBTQ activists in Orlando', '>>{space-elevator} : Chad Griffin, president of HRC, today made the following statement responding to Donald Trump’s “foreign policy” speech: “The same Donald Trump who today railed against ISIS hate stood shoulder-to-shoulder with anti-LGBTQ activists five days ago in Orlando, just miles from Pulse nightclub," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "This is the same Donald Trump whose campaign manager is in the headlines today for allegedly taking millions from allies of one of the world\'s worst anti-LGBTQ dictators, and who has campaigned on promises of more anti-LGBTQ Supreme Court justices. This is also the same Donald Trump who put Mike Pence, one of the most prominent faces of discrimination in America today, on the ticket. Meanwhile, we don\'t have to guess at how Hillary Clinton will advance LGBTQ equality on a global stage -- because that\'s exactly what she did as Secretary of State. Long before Donald Trump struggled to read the letters \'LGBTQ\' off a teleprompter, Secretary Clinton went before the international community to declare that "gay rights are human rights," launched the Global Equality Fund, and pioneered the first-ever UN resolution protecting LGBTQ people.” On the two-month anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting last week, which took the lives of 49 LGBTQ people and allies, Trump courted anti-LGBTQ activists just 10 miles from the site of the tragedy in Orlando. Among the organizations attending was Liberty Counsel, which supports and defends archaic laws criminalizing homosexuality with harsh punishments around the world, and has condemned President Obama and the U.S. government for speaking out against such laws, saying, “America should not be trying to make that country act in an immoral way.” In 2011, Liberty Counsel Chairman Mat Staver said that American opposition to the criminalization of homosexuality is “immoral.” He said, “More than sixty countries have laws criminalizing homosexuality and virtually every country in the world has laws that criminalize pedophilia and child incest. Malawi was doing what it was doing in its own best interest and America should not be trying to make that country act in an immoral way.” In 2013, Staver said that Russia was “reaffirming marriage….and rejecting this radicalized Homosexual agenda.” Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber went further in 2014, praising Russia, by saying it was trying to, “...stop this homosexual activist propaganda from corrupting children in our nation, and we need to see that right here in the United States.’” Trump has also doubled down on his anti-LGBTQ agenda by putting Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on the ticket. Pence became a national disgrace in 2015, for his “license to discriminate” bill that could have allowed businesses to deny service to LGBTQ people -- and for subsequently defending the bill after an outcry from the business community and a majority of Hoosier voters. In a now notorious interview with ABC last year, Pence refused to answer eight separate times when asked whether businesses should be able to discriminate against LGBTQ people. In recent weeks, Trump has also campaigned alongside Tony Perkins -- leader of the Family Research Council, which has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.', ">>{CaulkusAurelis} : Well, it's not like he WROTE the article.... or...", ">>{CaulkusAurelis} : at this point, I'd be willing to lay some serious coin that DT would ENGAGE in some of these activities, if it would save his bid", '>>{throwawatc123} : Right?

No hope for America with this level understanding about politics.', '>>{Chefca} : Why would he need to apologize? The "President" of our union slandered the previous president for years with no apology or consequences. A sitting congressman interrupted the previous very respectful president and yelled that he was a liar with no apology or consequences. We\'ve reached the point where decorum and civility doesn\'t matter.

Nothing negative happened to that man. In fact he enjoyed a nice increase in his fan base.', ">>{PotaToss} : He's insulting them for consistently promoting policy that screws us. From the article, quoting Perez's spokesperson, Xochitl Hinojosa: > “Tom Perez has said repeatedly, including in New Jersey, that Republican leaders like Donald Trump, Paul Ryan and others in Congress have shown us that they don’t care about the American people, especially when it comes to providing families with affordable health insurance,” she said in the email. “The Republican health-care bill would have taken away coverage from 24 million people, imposed an age tax, and made Americans pay more money for less care. Republicans are making it harder to save for retirement, and one of the first acts under President Trump was to make it harder for homebuyers to afford a mortgage. These actions and many others are further proof that Republican leaders in Washington don’t care about the American people and are only looking out for their wealthy friends.”", '>>{backfromthedead} : Yeah!!!!!

He is not stupid. He knows that 50 state strategy needs bucket loads of money. You can argue that the DNC could get that money from small donor donations, but in reality, that is not possible. The DNC is not big candidate, like Sanders was, who you could support. Many people has that kind of distain already baked in, so those people would never donate to the DNC. Also, the DNC does not set policy. The DNC is an organizing and support vehicle for Dem candidates. They will support candidates they think can WIN. But organizing takes a lot of money. You cannot kneecap yourself by shunning money. The RNC will take every advantage there is and smother the Dem candidates in their crib. So please, don't be a naive person.

Ricardo already knew better in 1817. An introductory economics course should drive home to students the point that international trade is not about competition, it is about mutually beneficial exchange. Even more fundamentally, we should be able to teach students that imports, not exports, are the purpose of trade. That is, what a country gains from trade is the ability to import things it wants. Exports are not an objective in and of themselves: the need to export is a burden that a country must bear because its import suppliers are crass enough to demand payment. Another interesting thing here is: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/265cd8fb02fb44a69cf0eaa2063e11d9/mexico-taking-us-factory-jobs-blame-robots-instead >> In a survey by the consulting firm Deloitte, global manufacturing executives predicted that that the United States — now No. 2 — will overtake China as the most competitive country in manufacturing by 2020. (Competitiveness is measured by such factors as costs, productivity and the protection of intellectual property.) The Reshoring Initiative, a nonprofit that lobbies manufacturers to return jobs to the United States, says America was losing an average of 220,000 net jobs a year to other countries a decade ago. Now, the number being moved abroad is roughly offset by the number that are coming back or being created by foreign investment. so yeah. >> No one is saying China is the dominant global power today, but that is coming, rapidly.

I\'m sure their economy, at some point, will become larger than the US economy, but that isn\'t enough to make them the "dominant global power" really.

China has an absurd amount of internal strife and is still a fairly poor country considering their per capita income is significantly less than the US. There\'s no such thing as an actual leader of the world. China will dominate discussion as their trade (imports and exports) are more and more important. In many respects it doesn\'t matter whether they are imports or exports, if you are selling things to china you need to cut deals with china, and if you want access to chinese exports (because they\'re cheap) you need to make deals with china. Total trade (either imports or exports) translates to influence. >Global power in what? They\'re losing in pretty much every area. Also, your argument here is weird, the goal of trade isn\'t really exports, that isn\'t a good thing. Exports are certainly a good thing, that gets you money to import something else that you can\'t make yourself, or can\'t make as efficiently yourself. >Another interesting thing here is: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/265cd8fb02fb44a69cf0eaa2063e11d9/mexico-taking-us-factory-jobs-blame-robots-instead Robots make workers more productive... and what? The chinese will buy robots and make chinese workers more productive, mexicans will buy robots and make mexican workers more productive, americans will buy robots and make american workers more productive. What\'s your point? Jobs aren\'t a zero sum game. More productive workers means more consumption which means more demand etc. China isn\'t stealing jobs from the US, nor does it need to. No more than the US didn\'t \'steal\' all the jobs from britain in the 1920\'s if they did britain would have spent the last century with mass unemployment, which isn\'t what happened. Eventually more people doing more work gets you more influence. >I\'m sure their economy, at some point, will become larger than the US economy, but that isn\'t enough to make them the "dominant global power" really. Sure it is. I\'ll grant you right now they certainly aren\'t. But it\'s coming, rapidly. The US has influence on global policy matters because everyone wants to buy and sell with the US. When the chinese economy is roughly the same size as the US (which it is) the Chinese are, at best, roughly as influential as the US. When the Chinese economy is twice the size as the US, and when trade with China is twice as valuable as trade with the US countries will, given the choice, favour Chinese interests over US ones, because there\'s more money to be made. >Many other factors go into this, the reality is China is a very long ways off from being a real global threat. The fact they aren\'t a democracy alone is going to cause extreme strife. Ironically, it is their lack of democracy that has put them ahead of india, considering they were at comparable points in the 1960\'s (China did have a distinct advantage in the 1940\'s and 50\'s though, but their communist incompetence set them back). Also, who said anything about threat? Sure, one of these days we\'re going to wake up from an announcement from the chinese communist party that they\'re going to build the most powerful military in the world and the US won\'t have any reasonable way to keep up with their spending. But that comes from economic power, and won\'t happen until they can afford it. China is using all of those exports which are \'clearly undesirable\', to get cash they can use to buy equipment and technology they cannot make themselves. To buy influence in countries around the world that will supply them with the materials they need for whatever they are trying to do domestically etc. It\'s not like the US is going to get weaker as such. It\'s that China is going to get stronger faster than the US, and eventually overtake, because, inevitably, with the much larger labour force the Chinese are going to buy more, sell more, make more, and do more, and everyone else is going to want to buy Chinese stuff and sell the chinese stuff. The idea that a non democratic state can\'t be a threat is nonsense. The Nazi\'s and the Soviets were the greatest threats of the last century, and weren\'t democratic. The German Empire, The British and Japanese were all major global players through their use of Empire and were only sort of democratic. What gets you global influence and leadership? Everyone going along with what you want, or favouring your interests over someone else. How do you get that? Military force if needed (as per the article, the Chinese have the largest peacekeeping army now, larger than the next 4 largest combined), they have the second largest defence budget globally. And they have, depending on how you count the EU, second or 3rd largest total trade in the world and it\'s growing much more rapidly than the US. Naturally, the point with Trump is that by retreating from international power the Chinese will fill the void faster than if the US remained globally involved, but it\'s not like the US will be able to keep up. There are about 800 million workers in china, and 157 million in the US.

Ricardo already knew better in 1817. An introductory economics course should drive home to students the point that international trade is not about competition, it is about mutually beneficial exchange. Even more fundamentally, we should be able to teach students that imports, not exports, are the purpose of trade. That is, what a country gains from trade is the ability to import things it wants. Exports are not an objective in and of themselves: the need to export is a burden that a country must bear because its import suppliers are crass enough to demand payment.

Now, the number being moved abroad is roughly offset by the number that are coming back or being created by foreign investment. so yeah. >> No one is saying China is the dominant global power today, but that is coming, rapidly. Once the average Chinese worker is 1/4 as productive and American one, they will have a larger economy, which, on a ppp basis has already happened. When they average Chinese worker is half as productive as their American counterpart China will have almost twice the economy. I\'m sure their economy, at some point, will become larger than the US economy, but that isn\'t enough to make them the "dominant global power" really. Many other factors go into this, the reality is China is a very long ways off from being a real global threat. The fact they aren\'t a democracy alone is going to cause extreme strife.', ">>{innni} : No, he's taking a $54 dry aged steak, cooking it well done and adding ketchup.", '>>{all_fridays_matter} : China is moving toward capitalism so I will agree. However once they start moving towards communist laws they will plummet again.', '>>{CajunBindlestiff} : National Geographic guide here: you forget all the cultural genocide (Uyghur, Tibetans) reeducation camps, and massive amount of pollution going on there. We stoped taking clients to some parts of China because of health and safety concerns. China is a shithole, fuck that country, they are not leading any world you would want to live in.', '>>{sir_sri} : >This doesn\'t mean they become the leader of the world, that isn\'t how this works. China has an absurd amount of internal strife and is still a fairly poor country considering their per capita income is significantly less than the US. There\'s no such thing as an actual leader of the world. China will dominate discussion as their trade (imports and exports) are more and more important. In many respects it doesn\'t matter whether they are imports or exports, if you are selling things to china you need to cut deals with china, and if you want access to chinese exports (because they\'re cheap) you need to make deals with china. Total trade (either imports or exports) translates to influence. >Global power in what? They\'re losing in pretty much every area. Also, your argument here is weird, the goal of trade isn\'t really exports, that isn\'t a good thing. Exports are certainly a good thing, that gets you money to import something else that you can\'t make yourself, or can\'t make as efficiently yourself. >Another interesting thing here is: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/265cd8fb02fb44a69cf0eaa2063e11d9/mexico-taking-us-factory-jobs-blame-robots-instead Robots make workers more productive... and what? The chinese will buy robots and make chinese workers more productive, mexicans will buy robots and make mexican workers more productive, americans will buy robots and make american workers more productive. What\'s your point? Jobs aren\'t a zero sum game. More productive workers means more consumption which means more demand etc. China isn\'t stealing jobs from the US, nor does it need to. No more than the US didn\'t \'steal\' all the jobs from britain in the 1920\'s if they did britain would have spent the last century with mass unemployment, which isn\'t what happened. Eventually more people doing more work gets you more influence. >I\'m sure their economy, at some point, will become larger than the US economy, but that isn\'t enough to make them the "dominant global power" really. Sure it is. I\'ll grant you right now they certainly aren\'t. But it\'s coming, rapidly. The US has influence on global policy matters because everyone wants to buy and sell with the US. When the chinese economy is roughly the same size as the US (which it is) the Chinese are, at best, roughly as influential as the US. When the Chinese economy is twice the size as the US, and when trade with China is twice as valuable as trade with the US countries will, given the choice, favour Chinese interests over US ones, because there\'s more money to be made. >Many other factors go into this, the reality is China is a very long ways off from being a real global threat. The fact they aren\'t a democracy alone is going to cause extreme strife. Ironically, it is their lack of democracy that has put them ahead of india, considering they were at comparable points in the 1960\'s (China did have a distinct advantage in the 1940\'s and 50\'s though, but their communist incompetence set them back). Also, who said anything about threat? Sure, one of these days we\'re going to wake up from an announcement from the chinese communist party that they\'re going to build the most powerful military in the world and the US won\'t have any reasonable way to keep up with their spending. But that comes from economic power, and won\'t happen until they can afford it. China is using all of those exports which are \'clearly undesirable\', to get cash they can use to buy equipment and technology they cannot make themselves. To buy influence in countries around the world that will supply them with the materials they need for whatever they are trying to do domestically etc. It\'s not like the US is going to get weaker as such. It\'s that China is going to get stronger faster than the US, and eventually overtake, because, inevitably, with the much larger labour force the Chinese are going to buy more, sell more, make more, and do more, and everyone else is going to want to buy Chinese stuff and sell the chinese stuff. The idea that a non democratic state can\'t be a threat is nonsense. The Nazi\'s and the Soviets were the greatest threats of the last century, and weren\'t democratic. The German Empire, The British and Japanese were all major global players through their use of Empire and were only sort of democratic. What gets you global influence and leadership? Everyone going along with what you want, or favouring your interests over someone else. How do you get that? Military force if needed (as per the article, the Chinese have the largest peacekeeping army now, larger than the next 4 largest combined), they have the second largest defence budget globally. And they have, depending on how you count the EU, second or 3rd largest total trade in the world and it\'s growing much more rapidly than the US. Naturally, the point with Trump is that by retreating from international power the Chinese will fill the void faster than if the US remained globally involved, but it\'s not like the US will be able to keep up. There are about 800 million workers in china, and 157 million in the US. They\'re going to demand access to resources and to a global world that does what they want, it\'s not happening tomorrow, but it\'s coming soon.', '>>{SurpriseHanging} : > Everybody knows this except Trump and the GOP Oh they know.

There\'s nothing coherent in here - it\'s not a coherent plan. It\'s just people looking at Obamacare and saying "hm, what do we hate about this and then how can we change just those things"? My favorite part of this, that I\'ve read so far, is their solution for the individual mandate. Apparently, this plan removes the individual mandate, but they says that if you don\'t have insurance for more than 2 months, then an insurance company is *required* to impose a 30% increase in your premiums. Think about that. Think how crazy this is on so many levels. Just to make a couple points: **First**, it doesn\'t even solve the issue. The mandate had 2 basic reasons to exist - (i) it was a way of forcing healthier people into the markets, making the markets healthier as a whole and bring down the average premium and (ii) it solved the moral hazard problem, where people would just wait until they got sick before buying insurance (because insurance companies aren\'t allowed to deny you for a pre-existing condition). This mechanism solves neither of those things. It does the opposite. All this does it let you buy into insurance when you get sick *at a slightly higher price* than the ACA does. This is...not a big incentive. If I get cancer, and I know that the costs will be $500,000 or something, who cares if my insurance premiums are now $600 per month instead of $400? That\'s not a meaningful difference compared to the liability. So people will still wait to buy in, ruining the purpose of the law. **Secondly**, this is even more unconstitutional than the individual mandate. In what universe of conservative political philosophy can the government force a private company to charge a certain class of people a higher price? That\'s insane. The individual mandate skated by as a tax because the penalty was paid *to the government*. What is the possible legal argument that this is constitutional while the individual mandate isn\'t?

There\'s nothing coherent in here - it\'s not a coherent plan. It\'s just people looking at Obamacare and saying "hm, what do we hate about this and then how can we change just those things"? My favorite part of this, that I\'ve read so far, is their solution for the individual mandate. Apparently, this plan removes the individual mandate, but they says that if you don\'t have insurance for more than 2 months, then an insurance company is *required* to impose a 30% increase in your premiums. Think about that. Think how crazy this is on so many levels. Just to make a couple points: **First**, it doesn\'t even solve the issue. The mandate had 2 basic reasons to exist - (i) it was a way of forcing healthier people into the markets, making the markets healthier as a whole and bring down the average premium and (ii) it solved the moral hazard problem, where people would just wait until they got sick before buying insurance (because insurance companies aren\'t allowed to deny you for a pre-existing condition). This mechanism solves neither of those things. It does the opposite. All this does it let you buy into insurance when you get sick *at a slightly higher price* than the ACA does. This is...not a big incentive. If I get cancer, and I know that the costs will be $500,000 or something, who cares if my insurance premiums are now $600 per month instead of $400? That\'s not a meaningful difference compared to the liability. So people will still wait to buy in, ruining the purpose of the law. **Secondly**, this is even more unconstitutional than the individual mandate. In what universe of conservative political philosophy can the government force a private company to charge a certain class of people a higher price? That\'s insane. The individual mandate skated by as a tax because the penalty was paid *to the government*. What is the possible legal argument that this is constitutional while the individual mandate isn\'t? And this is just one part of this idiocy. Dear god. It\'s just so transparently obvious that this party doesn\'t care at all about this issue and has not thought deeply about it *at all* other than as political cudgel.', ">>{drucifer271} : It doesn't reduce subsidies, it replaces them with a tax credit - AKA, helping people who are already better off.

Even if you aren't worried about Trump, you should have major concerns over Pence, whom Trump will allow to do much of what he likes as long as it doesn't go against Trump's actions. I'm damn sure worried about it. I would warn against waiting for them to start issuing orders before speaking up. It's a lot easier to stop sonething from happening in the first place (though that doesn't mean it's easy) than it is to try and reverse sonething already done in government.

We don't deny his win, only his bigotry and disgusting vulgarity.", '>>{NonHomogenized} : > worked exactly as they intended. Actually, it did the *exact opposite*.

I mean, sure if he there was common ground I\'d say "that\'s good" except I can\'t find a single piece of common ground, so a statement like this is almost meaningless. Not to mention misleading. I know what you mean, but if you say "you want him to succeed" most people would interpret that as meaning "successful is his agenda" I.e building the wall, deporting immigrants, giving the rich a huge tax break, etc.']]

On the one hand, they love that everybody is required by law to have health insurance. On the other hand, they hate that they actually have to pay out for health care. Unfortunately, the insurance giants (and most corporations these days) focus only on the short term and miss the big picture. In the case of health insurance, paying for routine preventative care is cheaper than having to cover a catastrophic illness. A regular checkup costs, on average, about $100 annually. Let\'s also multiply that by the current life expectancy of a US citizen, 78.74 years. The lifetime cost of regular checkups for a human being is only $7874. On average, health insurance costs $286 (monthly) for individuals and $727 (monthly) for a family. In a single year where a customer doesn\'t suffer from a major illness or accident, the insurance company makes $3332 on an individual. For a family of four, if they all remain healthy and all get an annual checkup, they make $8324 annually for the entire family. Now, let\'s look at the "rare" stubborn ass who never goes to the doctor for any reason at all and see what the insurance company makes over the course of his life. $270,235.68 Now keep in mind that insurance companies cover hundreds of people, so they\'re seeing more than that number annually.

Unfortunately, the insurance giants (and most corporations these days) focus only on the short term and miss the big picture. In the case of health insurance, paying for routine preventative care is cheaper than having to cover a catastrophic illness. A regular checkup costs, on average, about $100 annually. Let\'s also multiply that by the current life expectancy of a US citizen, 78.74 years. The lifetime cost of regular checkups for a human being is only $7874. On average, health insurance costs $286 (monthly) for individuals and $727 (monthly) for a family. In a single year where a customer doesn\'t suffer from a major illness or accident, the insurance company makes $3332 on an individual. For a family of four, if they all remain healthy and all get an annual checkup, they make $8324 annually for the entire family. Now, let\'s look at the "rare" stubborn ass who never goes to the doctor for any reason at all and see what the insurance company makes over the course of his life. $270,235.68 Now keep in mind that insurance companies cover hundreds of people, so they\'re seeing more than that number annually.

Pence may be in an unusually strong position to corral what has been traditionally understood as the 'religious right'--those voters concerned primarily with opposition to abortion and to a lesser extent gay rights--but it's an open question as to how numerous and powerful this group even is anymore. The Republican coalition that elected Donald Trump in 2016 is different in many ways than the Republican coalition that elected George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. George W played up the religious angle and took a more moderate position on immigration to attract evangelicals in the South and Midwest, as well as Hispanic voters in the West; Trump took a harder line on immigration, emphasized religion less, and took a very untraditional (by Republican standards) protectionist position on trade. As a result, Trump won 'Rust Belt' states which George W. Bush never did, while losing Western states to Hillary Clinton that Bush carried both times. In the event of Trump's resignation or impeachment and removal from office, it's hard to say whether Pence could maintain much of Trump's 'core' support. As a fairly traditional Republican, Pence shouldn't have much trouble hanging onto those Republican voters who 'fell in line' last November, regardless of how they felt about Trump individually. But whether it's Trump, Pence, or someone else as the Republican standard-bearer come 2020, I suspect that they will have a difficult time maintaining support in states he won narrowly in 2016 like Michigan and Pennsylvania, if a Republican administration can't deliver on Trump's promise to revitalize the American manufacturing industry in a big way. (Hard to see how anyone could, considering global economic trends). The more frightening variable, of course, is the nativist sentiment Trump successfully tapped into, which I suppose is never too far beneath the surface if a politician so flawed as Trump can stir it up in a big way. If Trump is ousted before the 2020 election, does he or some surrogate run as a 'spoiler' to spite the Republican 'establishment?' (Likely handing Democrats the White House in the process).

Pence may be in an unusually strong position to corral what has been traditionally understood as the 'religious right'--those voters concerned primarily with opposition to abortion and to a lesser extent gay rights--but it's an open question as to how numerous and powerful this group even is anymore. The Republican coalition that elected Donald Trump in 2016 is different in many ways than the Republican coalition that elected George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. George W played up the religious angle and took a more moderate position on immigration to attract evangelicals in the South and Midwest, as well as Hispanic voters in the West; Trump took a harder line on immigration, emphasized religion less, and took a very untraditional (by Republican standards) protectionist position on trade. As a result, Trump won 'Rust Belt' states which George W. Bush never did, while losing Western states to Hillary Clinton that Bush carried both times. In the event of Trump's resignation or impeachment and removal from office, it's hard to say whether Pence could maintain much of Trump's 'core' support. As a fairly traditional Republican, Pence shouldn't have much trouble hanging onto those Republican voters who 'fell in line' last November, regardless of how they felt about Trump individually. But whether it's Trump, Pence, or someone else as the Republican standard-bearer come 2020, I suspect that they will have a difficult time maintaining support in states he won narrowly in 2016 like Michigan and Pennsylvania, if a Republican administration can't deliver on Trump's promise to revitalize the American manufacturing industry in a big way. (Hard to see how anyone could, considering global economic trends). The more frightening variable, of course, is the nativist sentiment Trump successfully tapped into, which I suppose is never too far beneath the surface if a politician so flawed as Trump can stir it up in a big way.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have to be the two most likely candidates in history to betray their platform and are also coincidentally the two least liked. This is what false dichotomies get you. I will not choose to endorse these two assclowns because they do not inspire confidence.

It was at its core an attempt to generate ground rules to allow the free flow of goods within the common market, with the goal being the mutual benefit and success of each country involved through increased trade. It set IP rights practices between countries, human rights regulation, created arbitration systems to help address things like dumping or currency manipulation, etc. The intent of TPP was never meant to be control of or the destruction of an economy like Brunei or Chile\'s, but rather to leverage the unique capabilities of each and allow for greater mutual prosperity. Take a look at intra-Bloc trade and GDP growth numbers for NAFTA and you\'ll see that in that sense they can be massive successes. Your second paragraph is where it gets a bit more difficult. What does fixing the US economy mean to you? I\'d wager that it almost certainly means something very different than it means to me. You\'re likely discussing domestic industries and manufacturing to attempt to revive the American middle class, whereas I look to new industries and trade opportunities as that lever.

That would be a consequence of more local production: fewer things to buy as the labor costs are more expensive, yet more ability for the government to shape it's wealth structure and to provide the basics to its people.

This is just shooting ourselves in the foot after we shot ourselves in the chest. A worse version of the TPP is going to be signed that is going to happen and it won't have the intellectual property stuff in it. The TPP was a form of insurance for the next 30 years. It's not going to stop poor and working class people from getting hosed. You're fucked either way automation and third world manufacturing is too profitable.

You crush the opponent and come away with something better for yourself. - > Think Big and Kick Ass Trump\'s experience is in New York real estate, where he created wealth through "rent", which as an economic term meant that income was received not because you’re creating something of value but because you control something that’s scarce and valuable due to policy decisions. So he developed this world view based on a rent-seeking vision of the economy, in which there’s a fixed amount of wealth that can only be redistributed, never grow.

You can see he is approaching the Israel-Palestine problem the same way - doing something provocative like moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem is a way of threatening Palestinians. He is threatening to defund NATO as his opening positioning on Europe. That's how he thinks. The big question arises, if someone like China calls his bluff, what will he do?

There is absolutely nothing to be gained by issuing threats to your trading partners and seeking to undermine stability, simply so you *think* you can have an edge in negotiations. For sure the US is the world's largest economy, so they have leverage. However, the US represents around 22% of global GDP. And that is declining.

Fixing the economy at the core (within the US) is surely better than at the expense of other nations? I mean, was the US trying to control the world with that ever-reaching influence?", '>>{archetech} : Sorry. I meant personally. I was being sarcastic. But not that sarcastic.', ">>{TheApatheist} : The alternative is guiding it better so the western middle class doesn't feel completely helpless in the face of continuous deterioration of their power and wealth position. A social-democratic governance is only possible within the sphere it has influence over and currently there is no global sphere like that to rein in the excesses, hell, even the EU consists of nearly no social common policies. This would mean a global fight on tax havens, so that countries actually have the ability to tax their rich instead of being stuck in the eternal cycle of tax competition lowering the taxes for the elite and keeping the burden on the middle classes for their social security. Only when there's less capital flight possible, is there a chance for social democracy to work succesfully unlike today (as European countries are getting more inequal too, regardless of who's in power). The power and reach of governance should never be allowed to be less than the power and reach of corporations.", '>>{TwoToneTrump} : Democrats are now neo con free traders. So in other words republicans. What a gross marriage.', '>>{victorged} : Well, to your first paragraph I\'d argue that TPP was an attempt to create exactly that good set of working relationships you were referring to. It was at its core an attempt to generate ground rules to allow the free flow of goods within the common market, with the goal being the mutual benefit and success of each country involved through increased trade. It set IP rights practices between countries, human rights regulation, created arbitration systems to help address things like dumping or currency manipulation, etc. The intent of TPP was never meant to be control of or the destruction of an economy like Brunei or Chile\'s, but rather to leverage the unique capabilities of each and allow for greater mutual prosperity. Take a look at intra-Bloc trade and GDP growth numbers for NAFTA and you\'ll see that in that sense they can be massive successes. Your second paragraph is where it gets a bit more difficult. What does fixing the US economy mean to you? I\'d wager that it almost certainly means something very different than it means to me. You\'re likely discussing domestic industries and manufacturing to attempt to revive the American middle class, whereas I look to new industries and trade opportunities as that lever. The question of whether or not the US was trying to control the world is an interesting one; I would argue that things like the IMF, the WTO, or even the UN are significantly higher on the scale of "things the US manipulates to maintain a geopolitical advantage" than the TPP could have ever been.', ">>{TheApatheist} : Jobs were lost before, as with any previous economic revolution. It created new opportunities for the inhabitants to find other methods of income because the vast majority of wealth stayed in the country. Now it either goes to China via oversized imports, or to the elite due to ease of capital flight and lack of supranational governance. And personally, I'd be much happier with fewer materialistic choices in terms of food, clothing, electronics, but with a sustained advantage over the rest of the world and a more widespread ability of people to afford housing/schooling/... a decent, yet simpler life, in which the basics are more guaranteed than today. That would be a consequence of more local production: fewer things to buy as the labor costs are more expensive, yet more ability for the government to shape it's wealth structure and to provide the basics to its people. And yea, I too am a bit nostalgic about the simpler, yet more fulfilling lives of my parents and grandparents.", ">>{victorged} : oh, sorry! Totally didn't catch that one, I'll *woosh* myself if you'd like. That being said I'm almost certain he got something for it, but I couldn't tell you what off the top of my head.

You guys didn't give a shit about NAFTA. You buy cheap shit from Walmart all the time and many depend on that cheap shit, the damage is already done. This is just shooting ourselves in the foot after we shot ourselves in the chest. A worse version of the TPP is going to be signed that is going to happen and it won't have the intellectual property stuff in it. The TPP was a form of insurance for the next 30 years. It's not going to stop poor and working class people from getting hosed. You're fucked either way automation and third world manufacturing is too profitable. Republicans and Trump hate unions and paying a living wage, that's what you should be fighting for. This is a symbolic win if you're an idiot. You're being played hardcore. You're being duped into thinking this is a win by the same people who fucked everyone and benefited the most during NAFTA. You may hate Obama but he at least was looking out for American interests. Trump is going to fuck you so hard with TPP 2.0 I hope you're not praising Trump dumping TPP while wearing clothes made in China. I make sure to buy stuff made in the USA. My jeans, my shirts, my work boots, everything I wear all made in America I hope you have a good job so you can afford American prices. What about the electronics you are using to read and post in this thread? Do you own a PC, how about a nice smart phone or are you like me and posting on a tablet? Has Trump antagonizing China been scaring you and when will his bullying tactics stop working? Are you ready to shell out two thousand dollars for an iPhone that used to cost a couple hundred dollars or better yet can you afford to? Did Republicans mismanagement of the housing market instill some new form of confidence I don't know about? Ohh boy I'm sure Trump's cabinet of fools will work better than Bush's clown car. It's amazing to see in this day and age and just 8 fucking years from the global depression people so fucking trusting of the guy at the top. The trustworthy businessman looking out for the best interests of his employees. He can do no wrong, he would definitely take a diminished return for the betterment of his workforce. Don't believe your eyes the stagnant pay, the outsourcing, the layoffs are just your imagination. So you can't afford to put a down payment on a house, renting your entire life ain't so bad.

It's been public for over a year now.", '>>{YourBlogSucksToo} : How many jobs are going to be lost when China is setting the standards for international trade?', ">>{omeow} : Personally I would be happier with less consumerism too but I don't think that will organically happen in a society on the forefront of hyper-consumerism. I am also baffled by the fact that how conservatives (mostly and few liberals) argue that free market capitalism is not a zero sum game (to support their tax cuts for rich) and then argue how it suddenly becomes zero sum game.when Mexicans and Chinese are becoming rich (which often means making min wage compared to $2/hr) at poor American workers cost.", ">>{IND_CFC} : Hmmm...I'm sure the AFL-CIO is completely neutral and wouldn't provide a biased analysis.

Now he's backed out of TPP, with not trying to renegotiate anything, which puts us at a huge disadvantage & puts China at a huge advantage.... Yup, nothing to see here folks.

The whole "secrecy" argument was being pushed well after the full text was available to the public. They didn\'t have any specific arguments against it, so they just freaked people out by saying it was a scary, evil document written by corporate overlords in their evil lair.', '>>{magicsonar} : In Trump\'s world, there are those who win and those who lose - and that is it. He has a deep, abiding faith that the world is a zero-sum game and you can only gain if someone else is failing. And so he looks at trade in the same way. In one of his famous "deal" books, he supposedly says >You hear lots of people say that a great deal is when both sides win. That is a bunch of crap. In a great deal you win — not the other side. You crush the opponent and come away with something better for yourself. - > Think Big and Kick Ass Trump\'s experience is in New York real estate, where he created wealth through "rent", which as an economic term meant that income was received not because you’re creating something of value but because you control something that’s scarce and valuable due to policy decisions. So he developed this world view based on a rent-seeking vision of the economy, in which there’s a fixed amount of wealth that can only be redistributed, never grow. And in his mind, if China or Asia are getting richer, it MUST mean the US is losing out. I don\'t think he honestly understands or has any interest in the concept of win-win.', '>>{pseudolocus} : Yep. This combined with his idea that he has to bargain and threaten all possibilities in order to get the best bargain - *and apply it to foreign policy*- is bad news for this country.', '>>{pseudolocus} : Wait until Dodd Frank gets repealed! Short memory for America indeed.', ">>{magicsonar} : Right. You can see this so clearly in his initial positions about China - he is issuing threats to China about recognizing Taiwan, about the South China Sea, about imposing a 34% tariff on Chinese goods. I think for Trump, threats are part of the deal game. You can see he is approaching the Israel-Palestine problem the same way - doing something provocative like moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem is a way of threatening Palestinians. He is threatening to defund NATO as his opening positioning on Europe. That's how he thinks. The big question arises, if someone like China calls his bluff, what will he do? This is why world leaders try and avoid issuing direct threats to other nations - because it puts you in a corner.", ">>{pseudolocus} : Yes! All of that. Its either going to scare or piss off most countries (middle east), work on some countries (allies in Asia) or alienate then (all of Europe - Germany is for sure already here). And it makes the US look weak and unstable, and ISIS and the like probably think its an amazing time to start testing us. Probably why Obama did a massive show of force last week re: B2 bombing runs (super interesting Maddow last night on so many topics <3). The Israeli embassy is the most useless thing I've seen yet. Is there ANY point to it except to intimidate the Palestinians? Why would you even do this. Isnt it a waste of money?", ">>{magicsonar} : The world is really really complicated. Especially international relations. So many competing and aligned interests. Your best ally is your competitor, your greatest enemy is your ally in some areas. The EU is the United States largest trading partner. China is the third largest. The US economy relies enormously on stability in the EU and in China. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by issuing threats to your trading partners and seeking to undermine stability, simply so you *think* you can have an edge in negotiations. For sure the US is the world's largest economy, so they have leverage. However, the US represents around 22% of global GDP. And that is declining. The danger for the US is that if they seek a path of protectionism and isolation, the rest of the world will simply strengthen ties with each other, leaving the US in the cold.", '>>{CowBully} : Yup. But this is r/politics. You all have to make your self feel better after losing so badly.', '>>{Seqeu} : Sure thing buddy. Because winning and acting like spiteful little children is all that matters, right?

Obama did great things for the US economy in a time of global crisis. And Obama didn't get his ass kicked out.

We know (again, science) that temperatures rose around half a degree from the coolest part of the 19th century to the 1940s, and cooled again until it reached a low around 1976. The thing is, over the course of the last 20 years, the actual value reported for the 1930s and 40s has changed by nearly half a degree, because of estimates of how temperature measurements were made. Now, if we can\'t get the *actual* measurements of 80 years ago within half a degree of known good, how do you expect that we know within half a degree, or even a full degree, what the temperature was across the entire globe in July, 1101? The answer is, you can\'t. The margin of error for that period is very, very large. We\'re not even talking about the paleoclimate, we\'re talking about history that was witnessed and recorded by men. I\'ve seen the estimates, they are all over the map.

You lie by inserting precision you can\'t possibly know into your reports, to make it seem like you\'ve got the science down to a very precise level. We do have unknowns.

In this sense, "to pass" means to throw or give something from one person to another. It\'s often used in sports - The football got passed from the quarterback to the receiver. >However, this sounds very clumsy for two reasons: >a) It\'s much better to use the verb "was" - "The football was passed..." b) It\'s better to use active voice in the first place - "The quarterback passed the football to the receiver." >2) "To get past" and "to pass up" have very different connotations. The first implies overcoming an obstacle, either emotional or physical. The second implies missing an opportunity. >Some examples: >"This video game is so hard! I can\'t get past the second level!" "I know the divorce was very traumatic for you, but you have to get past it and move on with your life." >"I passed up my chance to invest in Google stock while it was cheap."

That's a fair argument. But I have zero confidence that Bernie will be able to do anything against special interests. His own special interest groups will be just as damaging. I prefer lobbying from the private sector over lobbying from the public sector. The notion that we can end lobbying is a fairy tale, we have to work with what we have. >she's basically indistinguishable from George W. Bush on ideology and most substantial policy.

Even with all the leaks, there is no indication that the DNC took any action against Bernie. Their statements were clearly biased, because they don't like a guy trying to hijack the party, but they didn't take any action against him. It was stupid, and they rightly lost the voters trust, which is why they are no longer in charge of the DNC. > but the reasons why it wasn't so great are the same reasons why Hillary won't be a great leader - there was too much special interest influence on the bill. That's a fair argument. But I have zero confidence that Bernie will be able to do anything against special interests. His own special interest groups will be just as damaging. I prefer lobbying from the private sector over lobbying from the public sector. The notion that we can end lobbying is a fairy tale, we have to work with what we have. >she's basically indistinguishable from George W. Bush on ideology and most substantial policy.

I have heard many people who are voting for a third party say that are doing it to send a message to the Democratic party. Isn't that voting strategically? The fact is that a third party candidate is not going to win this election. Jill Stein is so low that 538 doesn't even give numbers for her. They give poll numbers for Johnson, currently 8.7%, but not for probability of winning. because they don't measure numbers that small. Instead they just put < 0.1% With odds less than one per thousand and with elections every for years, someone with those odds who ran every 4 years since the start of recorded history with the founding of the Minoan civilization 4 thousand years ago in the bronze age would still not have won. So, voting for a third party candidate has to be designed to meet some goal other than making them president, such as trying to build a party long term, or to send a message to the major parties.

"Just prior to the debates, Perot received 7–9% support in nationwide polls.[38] It is likely that the debates played a significant role in his ultimate receipt of 19% of the popular vote." Or if that doesn\'t count as impacting the election, how about how future elections would be impacted?

The fact is that a third party candidate is not going to win this election. Jill Stein is so low that 538 doesn't even give numbers for her. They give poll numbers for Johnson, currently 8.7%, but not for probability of winning. because they don't measure numbers that small. Instead they just put < 0.1% With odds less than one per thousand and with elections every for years, someone with those odds who ran every 4 years since the start of recorded history with the founding of the Minoan civilization 4 thousand years ago in the bronze age would still not have won. So, voting for a third party candidate has to be designed to meet some goal other than making them president, such as trying to build a party long term, or to send a message to the major parties.

[[">>{BatmansParentsAreDed} : Sure, that's the official story, but Trump doesn't feel horror.", '>>{rogerpool123} : someone show the slob pictures of the kids he killed in Yemen.', '>>{olddivorcecase} : It seems that he currently feels whatever Kushner is telling him to feel. Sociopaths don\'t have emotions. Kushner is better at optics that are mainstream, Bannon is good at revving up the "alt-right". Kushner seems to be "winning" the ratings data they ALL get from Cambridge Analytica. Real people are winning the media wars, currently.', ">>{olddivorcecase} : He has no emotions. It's what he does to act normal... watch how other people react. He sees visible cues, and then guages how to react. He often gets it very wrong... hence Alex Jones, Limbaugh, etal.", ">>{ripster65} : Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew presidenting could be so complicated.", '>>{SantaVsDevil} : Kushner holds no sway. If he did, Trump would distance him - not bring him closer.', ">>{veridique} : But babies drowning while fleeing the terror of war in Syria didn't move him?", ">>{olddivorcecase} : Kushner is a war hawk. He approved of the Yemen raid, so he didn't react. And he's a war hawk, so he reacted to this to get Trump emotional and involved.
