His mistakes were typically underestimating opposition, from Putin, to ISIS, to the Republicans.', ">>{_STONEFISH} : I'll just clarify for a moment that I spend all day using Apple products either for teaching Music Technology or working as a sound engineer. I do have an android phone but I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy for any particular brand... We'll let the results speak for themselves when these earphones have been properly tested and we have access to frequency response and waterfall plots. I cannot say for sure but I anticipate that the battery life and sound quality will be laughable, given the price tag. I also question the decision to make them out of hard plastic instead of having a rubber earpiece create a good seal that allows them to perform to their stated spec. Many people will buy them because they're trendy. The number of units sold won't necessarily be a reflection of the quality, just look at Beats by Dre as an example... Apple probably has one of the best marketing teams in the world, but they use their high profile to push products that aren't as innovative as they make them appear, or deliberately hiding weak specs and getting away with it. They make alluring products and have a strong brand identity that counts for quite a lot when shopping for something new. That's not suggesting that specifically Apple fans are sheep, rather that their marketing team has achieved everything any marketing team for any company (including Samsung etc) wants to achieve: Get people on board, keep them, and then tell them they need a certain product Apple don't have a monopoly, but they are big enough to tell people that they want what they want them to want.", '>>{raised_by_wolves__} : The Clinton foundation is a money laundering organisation.

Obviously it was our own original idea and no one else ever thought of it. And then BAM Spigen delivers exactly what we were talking about!", '>>{Zehardtruth} : >Apple sells products for people who... wait for it... want them. And you buy something else because you want to. I\'m the best of world\'s this would be true and the best product would be the best selling. Sadly all you need is advertising to create a demand, use your money to stop the competition and create a walled garden. Lock users to your eco system and force change upon them for the worse. No one asked for this, no one, it adds nothing that the old phones couldn\'t do. Apples not giving people a product they want, they\'re forcing them to get it or loose everything (apps, contacts, calender, the white eco system. Try to stay behind and your old phone will get slowed down to syrup via "updates")', ">>{CynicalYetOptimistic} : > Because ~~republicans~~ politicians don't have any values or morals. FTFY", ">>{BatCountry9} : Apparently that's the Russian talking point this morning. The *Democrats* are at fault for the election, not Russia. Been seeing it all over.", '>>{SpryAmoeba} : Well the focus seems to be on taking out Assad...', ">>{Pottytrainer} : Indicating that Putin's cock is so far up its coming out Trumps mouth?", ">>{back2dashit} : >just look at Beats by Dre as an example... That's a fashion accessory though. And for people who listen to all of their music on their phone using Spotify or a similar streaming service (Apple Music, Google Play, Deezer, Tidal...) there really isn't much a difference between a mediocre pair and an audiophile pair. To actually use audiophile headphones and hear the difference you also need an audiophile set up. And an iPhone running Spotify playing 128kbps MP3s over the internet ain't gonna cut it.", ">>{Valmond} : That's so frustrating, everybody is streaming 128k (not just spotify & likes but also internet radio etc) when even 196 would sound wonderful in comparison...", ">>{mrmadmoose} : This is the reason I will never own another Apple product. I've never had an iPhone, but my original iPod Nano was the shit.", '>>{back2dashit} : What annoys me is that pretty much nobody says the actual bitrate they\'re streaming in. When the option is present to change the stream quality they just give you stuff like "Low, Standard, High" and never tell what the actual bitrate is.', '>>{_STONEFISH} : They are most definitely a fashion accessory. Some of their streetwear is indeed marketed as such, but I take issue with the claims of them having good sound quality. I can go and find some test sheets to back up what I\'m saying if people are interested (my opinion doesn\'t really matter so probably not!) but I would argue that they are objectively poor performers. They look cool if you like the style, but they\'re marketed very dishonestly, soundwise. They immediately sound fat and impressive, but they have very lethargic overblown bass and piercing highs, which fatigue ones hearing after an extended listening session. They are useless in the studio, because their inaccuracy makes it very hard to mix music. For the same price it is possible to get headphones that are *significantly* better. While streaming mp3s is of course not ideal, a good pair of headphones will genuinely make a high bitrate mp3 sound decent. Everything except the compression artefacts will sound good. Edit: I just looked at the official website, at the "professional studio" model. Apart from the lies and deceptive marketing, everything you need to know about them is due to how they haven\'t published the specs on that page.', ">>{CynicalYetOptimistic} : I know right!? If they only stopped promoting [Ivanka Trump's amazing jewelry^TM](http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Ivanka-Trump/Designers/cat48860760/c.cat)!", ">>{corncobbdouglas2} : I'll give you ISIS, but Putin invaded Georgia before Obama's reset.", '>>{Valmond} : My bet: 48, 96, 128 or if only low & high: 96,128', '>>{corncobbdouglas2} : >Uckraine Is that how its spelled in Macedonia?', ">>{omeow} : >The Clinton foundation is a money laundering organisation. Proof? And alt-right bs don't count. >Thanks to Wikileaks, we learned that Chelsea was concerned with the unethical behavior. - what logic answers Trump question by citing clintons? - what is the ethical justification for Ivanka.Trump brokering power without being bound by any regulations that are imposed on government bureaucrats, lobbyists ?", '>>{billthomson} : But Obama dealt poorly with Syria, and the vacuum gave Putin an opening.', '>>{billthomson} : Honestly though, he was using congress to cover his ass in Syria. He dealt poorly with it when he declared his line in the sand, and used Congress as an excuse for not taking action.', '>>{back2dashit} : To be honest I called them "mediocre" not "good". And yeah I agree that with a good bitrate mp3 you can hear the difference but we are talking about at least 328kbps (and ideally all your mp3s should actually be VBR0) that most streaming services don\'t support. Don\'t think I\'m calling Beats good or anything, but when it comes to how their audio quality is advertised they are definitely going after people without good set ups who will be impressed at how much better Beats sound compared to their cheap earbuds that came with the phone.', ">>{737477278} : Haha I'm drawing attention to her motives and your trying to deflect them ;) Eco bangles are good profit, she can then set up a trust fund for endangered eco bangles. Buy one today show your support!", ">>{CynicalYetOptimistic} : Plenty of them are pretty consistent with their stance on abortion which shows they have a set of values they won't go against regardless of your opinion on the matter.", '>>{corncobbdouglas2} : Should he have instituted a no fly zone? Should he have sent in troops? Should he have done *less*? Syria is a mess - but the question is what should Obama have done instead. His foreign policy has been much more about non-engagement and leading from behind. It could have been far worse if he had escalated our involvement.', ">>{phydeaux70} : He either underestimated Putin, or ignored him. Either way, Russia's actions in the world in the past 8 years can be traced back to enablement from Obama. If he chooses to say he didn't underestimate, give. It makes him look even more incompetent.", ">>{themastermindz} : couldn't the president have fairly easily crippled syria's anti-aircraft capacity early in the conflict?", ">>{CynicalYetOptimistic} : I don't disagree that for some it is mostly political though for others they truly believe it. Again, agree or disagree with abortion or pro-choice, it's a set of values.", '>>{des0lar} : So the party of "small government" stands at least for dictating over women\'s bodies. Great values!', ">>{corncobbdouglas2} : Sure, I don't think there was all that much support for involving US military in the fight, though. Instead, he sent arms to the rebels. Then Russia got involved.", ">>{ronbag} : I don't want to pay for your girlfriend to get your mistake ripped out while we live in a first world country that is in desperate need of a higher birth rate. Abortions should be 100% privatized, legal, and women should have to buy abortion insurance if they plan to have unprotected sex.", ">>{NotFooledbyFools} : It's almost as if it's congress's constitutional responsibility to declare war or authorize the use of the military.", '>>{LuniWin} : > Fuck of ivanka, attention whore. Your misogyny is not welcome here.', '>>{hwkns} : Trump and Ivanka playing the classic "good cop" , "bad cop" routine', ">>{Dms5223} : Agreed. I don't care if people have abortions. That's on them and doesn't affect me (whether I agree or not morally). It should be legal (so it's safe and not happening in back alleys) but why do I have to pay for it? Government is involved in too much.", ">>{themastermindz} : Sure, I don't think there was all that much support for involving US military in the fight, though. is it fair to say that president obama correctly interpreted his mandate from the american people to withdraw from iraq and afghanistan and disengage from the middle east? do you agree that iraq was secure when the second president bush left office, due to the success of the troop surge? is the failure of america's libya adventure largely to blame for the united states congress (and british parliament!) refusing to support american military action in syria?", '>>{hkpp} : Yes, Republicans are gross and oversimplify major issues to influence their voters.', '>>{billthomson} : I want to be clear: Syria was very difficult. But when Obama said "If you do X we will respond", and Assad did X, Obama came off looking really weak.', ">>{corncobbdouglas2} : I will agree that the red line on chemical weapons that he failed to enforce was a bad move. I'm just not sure it was a winning situation regardless, and IMO that specific issue wasn't a big factor in the mess. The bigger issue was Russian's involvement - Assad was certainly about to be wiped out without Putin. On the other hand, Clinton's no fly zone had potential for escalation with Russia. Then on one foot, the GOP warhawks were calling to send our own troops in to fight ISIS, and also supported arming the rebels. And finally, on the other foot, Trump has zero coherence on the whole situation, doesn't even seem to understand the principle players. He will likely do little to nothing about it diplomatically or militarily, and allow Putin to get what he wants while killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.", ">>{corncobbdouglas2} : I'm always skeptical that people who make these rhetorical sounding questions on reddit want to actually engage in an honest discussion on it, but I'll bite. I agree that the mandate coming out of 2008 was that ground troops abroad are no longer an option outside of a very direct threat to the safety of the US. Obama was engaged in the middle east, but it was largely through diplomatic channels and by aiding revolutions against despotic leaders. What was misjudged was how much less stable that has made the region. I agree that violence had subsided, but obviously that security was in no way permanent. I'm not sure the benefit of security if it meant a permanent and significant military presence in Iraq. What OBama did achieve was a significant coalition in the last months to work to secure the country, albeit late. >s the failure of america's libya adventure largely to blame for the united states congress (and british parliament!) refusing to support american military action in syria? Tough one. I think it was a problem that congress wasn't willing to authorize it, but good of Obama to push the precedent of asking congress. Congress didn't help. That made it easier for Putin to turn the tides to Assad and kill of thousands of civilians and creating a mass refugee crisis.", '>>{themastermindz} : i actually want to engage in discussion and i appreciate your bite "What was misjudged was how much less stable that has made the region." please clarify for me what the "that" means in the quote of yours i reproduced above. was not the spread of democracy/human rights the main reason the united states invaded iraq in 2003? was it not the second president bush\'s primary intention that people in the region would be inspired by iraq\'s success and demand democratic reforms? "it was a problem that congress wasn\'t willing to authorize it" was partisanship the main reason that the united states congress wasn\'t willing to authorize president obama\'s request for a declaration of war in syria? years later, when the situation had significantly deteriorated and the president requested a declaration of war against the islamic state, was partisanship the main reason congress wasn\'t willing to authorize it?', ">>{billthomson} : Taking a stand against Assad early wouldn't have had the potential to escalate with Russia. Doing so now would. Obama made a very poor decision in the statement he made, he essentially let Assad call his bluff and in doing so made himself look weak. I don't really think Clinton's no fly zone had a prayer of happening, honestly. Again: Syria was, and is complicated. Trump is going to likely allow Syria to become heavily under Russia's influence, but I'm not sure that's different than what's happened under Obama.", ">>{TuLegit2quit} : Remember when Romney claimed that Russia was our #1 geopolitical threat and obama laughed at him and flippantly stated that the 1980's wanted their foreign policy back.... sounds like underestimating to me...", ">>{billthomson} : Romney looks much better in hindsight, doesn't he?", '>>{Shanashy} : Your tax dollars are not used to pay for abortions.', '>>{tau-lepton} : So glad Ivana had the good sense not to let Donald father her daughter.', '>>{tau-lepton} : Maybe we should look at when and why they became so "pro life", it was politics, not virtue.', '>>{CynicalYetOptimistic} : Do you not know anyone that actually believes that abortion is killing an unborn baby because I do.

Many people will buy them because they're trendy. The number of units sold won't necessarily be a reflection of the quality, just look at Beats by Dre as an example... Apple probably has one of the best marketing teams in the world, but they use their high profile to push products that aren't as innovative as they make them appear, or deliberately hiding weak specs and getting away with it. They make alluring products and have a strong brand identity that counts for quite a lot when shopping for something new. That's not suggesting that specifically Apple fans are sheep, rather that their marketing team has achieved everything any marketing team for any company (including Samsung etc) wants to achieve: Get people on board, keep them, and then tell them they need a certain product Apple don't have a monopoly, but they are big enough to tell people that they want what they want them to want.", '>>{GreatScottPropSvcs} : Apple will find a way to do a firmware update that will make these unusable somehow.', '>>{makushr1} : Dental floss will be a cheap, effective substitute.', ">>{ComputersByte} : >We were joking around about how some company needed to make a leash accessory for Apple's new AirPods Totally didn't read it on Reddit or anything either (fairly sure it was the top comment on pretty much every bit of news about the airpods).

Some of their streetwear is indeed marketed as such, but I take issue with the claims of them having good sound quality. I can go and find some test sheets to back up what I\'m saying if people are interested (my opinion doesn\'t really matter so probably not!) but I would argue that they are objectively poor performers. They look cool if you like the style, but they\'re marketed very dishonestly, soundwise. They immediately sound fat and impressive, but they have very lethargic overblown bass and piercing highs, which fatigue ones hearing after an extended listening session. They are useless in the studio, because their inaccuracy makes it very hard to mix music. For the same price it is possible to get headphones that are *significantly* better. While streaming mp3s is of course not ideal, a good pair of headphones will genuinely make a high bitrate mp3 sound decent. Everything except the compression artefacts will sound good. Edit: I just looked at the official website, at the "professional studio" model.

What was misjudged was how much less stable that has made the region. I agree that violence had subsided, but obviously that security was in no way permanent.

Tough one. I think it was a problem that congress wasn't willing to authorize it, but good of Obama to push the precedent of asking congress. Congress didn't help.

I have 4 people in my family, we all use Lifeproof or Catalyst cases for about 2 to 4 years. The Lifeproof and Catalyst cases have both been great at surviving drops and falls, no question. My iPhone5 survived a bike crash in a Lifeproof case; although the case itself was damaged, the iPhone remained in like-new condition. My daughter still uses the iPhone5 (in a new case). I've found that the Lifeproof cases last roughly a year and a half, maybe 2 years if you're lucky, before they start developing cracks in the soft rubber areas and peeling apart. When that happens, you have to buy a new replacement case. Also, I find that unscrewing the headphone jack port is inconvenient, especially if you use the headphones a lot. I have switched to Catalyst case for my iPhone6 and my son's iPhone 5s. The headphone port is a rubber plug; it doesn't screw, you just pull it out. Easy-peasy. On my own Catalyst case, the bottom gasket did wear out after a year or so, but I replaced it for $5 instead of buying a whole new case. The rest of the case is in great shape after about 20 months. The Catalyst case also has a connector to hold a lanyard, which I don't use, but some might find useful.

I've found that the Lifeproof cases last roughly a year and a half, maybe 2 years if you're lucky, before they start developing cracks in the soft rubber areas and peeling apart. When that happens, you have to buy a new replacement case. Also, I find that unscrewing the headphone jack port is inconvenient, especially if you use the headphones a lot. I have switched to Catalyst case for my iPhone6 and my son's iPhone 5s. The headphone port is a rubber plug; it doesn't screw, you just pull it out. Easy-peasy. On my own Catalyst case, the bottom gasket did wear out after a year or so, but I replaced it for $5 instead of buying a whole new case. The rest of the case is in great shape after about 20 months. The Catalyst case also has a connector to hold a lanyard, which I don't use, but some might find useful.

The most common that I have seen are: 1. folks downloading music or videos that originally came from iTunes but were from someone else\'s account, like a friends does it for you. A friend sharing an app by signing out of your account signing into their account, downloading it would also do this. This can also include downloading torrent files that have someone else\'s Apple ID tag on them as the original purchaser. 2. Syncing your phone to a computer that is not yours. This can also simply include plugging in your phone to someone else\'s computer to charge it or someone else plugging their phone into yours. If iTunes is up it often goes into sink mode as soon as it detects the device. More often than not this kind of Apple ID "infection" happened a while ago which is why you don\'t remember the email address and was on iOS prior to the whole forced trust/do you want to connect pop up so we have now. This can even include having it happen at your carrier. At one point in time it was not uncommon for carrier shops to have a laptop and do the service of backing up old phones and restoring them to newly purchased phones for customers. This meant that dozens of Apple IDs could get transmitted back-and-forth through the various phones as people were having their information put on the laptop even if the back up was actually removed.']]

Most people debate because there are issues between them and they want to plead their case. The differences between them are clear. We live in a 24 hour news cycle and a limitless internet. Anyone and everyone has a way to get their information on these canidates. There is no need for MORE debates, especially when the debates they have had have damn near put me to sleep and aren't pulling in monster ratings. There is no need for a debate other than to give Sanders air time and all it would do is open Hillary or anyone else up to their opponent. Its why Trump refused to debate Cruz and its why Trump won't debate Bernie and its why the GOP said in general that 2012 had too many debates.", '>>{Stennick} : Oh yeah because you\'re punished for going back on your word and not telling the truth in Politics all the time. You\'re saying its best to tell the truth when playing the game and its important to keep you word when playing the game. Was Bush honest in 00 when his brother helped him steal the Presidency. Was Bush honest in 04 when he painted John Kerry as a coward instead of a war hero. Was Reagan honest when he painted Jimmy Carter as weak for having solar energy in the white house? Has Trump been honest about anything? There is negative amounts of correlation in regards to "playing the game" IE: being successful in politics and honesty.', '>>{Stennick} : I would agree it does seem fair and I\'m not disputing that its the fair thing to do. In a perfect world we\'d get a ton of these debates from everyone involved on both sides. But from a strategy point of view it makes little sense. I\'m not talking about merit of honesty or what is "right". I\'m merely pointing out that from a strategy point of view Hillary has nothing to gain from a debate with Sanders. The people that would switch their California vote to her if she performed well are the people that are already going to vote for her because she\'s the nominee. The people that aren\'t going to vote for her wouldn\'t vote for her no matter if she revealed herself as Christ live on air. Hillary needs to hunker down and figure out her Trump problem. Not playing around with a candidate thats losing by all most three times the margin she was in 08. Again from a strategy point of view.', '>>{amorrowlyday} : Nothing before your last 2 points are worth responding to, as they aren\'t relevant to the game being played out right now. The last point is only relevant because it demonstrates that we aren\'t talking about the same thing. I\'m not talking about "playing the game" as in politics in general, I\'m talking about playing the specific game we are facing today. A game drastically changes depending on who the players and officials are and todays officials (voters) aren\'t the same as 4 years ago. As for Trump, Trump doesn\'t need to be honest. He is a demagogue, He is all offense. What is he on the offense about? Political spin. By taking contrarian positions he can force his opponent into a corner and eviscerate them by dragging out their *overt* lies. It\'s hard to do that to trump when he doesn\'t actually stand for anything.', ">>{I_have_no_mercy} : Getting tons of degrees doesn't qualify as a lifetime achievement.", '>>{Stennick} : I don\'t disagree with what you\'re saying about Trump but debating the second place guy is only going to give Trump MORE shit to come after you about. If you don\'t debate Hilary didn\'t keep her word. If you do debate "not even her own party likes her". Lose/lose as I said hunker down. Trump has yet to be pinned in a one on one situation where he\'d have to talk policy, and real politics and he\'s not been held accountable to his record of lies because its been multiple people on stage. He takes his fire for a few minutes and then the topic goes to Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio and RIGHT when they started hammering Trump is when the debates stopped. They had two debates where Trump was gotten after and his poll numbers did drop and Ted Cruz\'s did rise in that time. The debates stopped and Trump\'s numbers went up. So I think the key to beating Trump is to expose him, make him say something dumb. Sure he\'s said dumb things but NONE of this matters. August, September, October thats when people pay attention. Thats when people will remember things. So many campaigns have risen and tanked in the late summer early fall. Clinton went from third place in the general to leading in polls by around July/August. Dukakis fell apart in August in the polls. Reagan got his surge over Carter in the late summer. Romney lost his edge in the late summer over Obama. I believe the reason for this is thats when people pay attention. Debating Sanders in a nothing debate against a guy she\'s already beaten will do her no good. She\'s gonna get attacked either way might as well not risk opening up more lines of attack than needed.', ">>{amorrowlyday} : This wordvomit isn't substantially different from the wordvomit floating around immediately after Secretary Clinton refused to debate, and while I argued against it then I'm not going to now. Now I don't have to. Now It doesn't hold water because Senator Clinton is in the middle of a social/media drubbing that may not be comparable to previous elections. Your word vomit may well be outdated, I'd imagine we'll see more cracks in the next couple weeks.", '>>{Stennick} : I appreciate you insulting me instead of having a rationale discussion. Although I\'m not sure how you could argue that debating Sanders is GOOD from a strategy point of view. What does Hillary gain from it? You have people that will watch it and if she reveals herself as Christ they STILL won\'t vote for her. And you have people that watch it an no matter what they will vote for whoever the democratic nominee is in November. She\'s not going to gain support no matter what. If she doesn\'t debate Trump can\'t say too much since he just REFUSED to debate Bernie and went back on his word to do so as well. Even if he does say something its not like there is a large national outcry for the Sanders/Clinton debate so nobody is going to really care. The campaign is over, Hillary won, who cares? Thats the general sentiment among the majority of voters. If she DOES debate she goes from being attacked for going against her word to being attacked on anything and everything she says. Its one area being attacked in versus an infinite amount. From a strategic point of view a debate only helps Sanders. Which is fine if your standpoint is "I want my guy to win as much as he can so I want her to give him that chance". But other than that it doesn\'t make sense.', ">>{FALGSC_IN_MY_ASSROID} : It's just usually an end-of-career sort of thing. You know, after a *lifetime* of achievement. But I guess the super-privileged can get early consideration, eh?", ">>{h00dpussy} : The cynic in me just makes me think he does it for PR. If you imagine everything the Clinton do as calculated then it becomes a pretty awful image. Even when he courted the black vote back in the day to get elected just to push policies that don't really favour the race (but because he is America's first honorary black president it's all good) and feeds into the more radical white sentiments. He also took the hands on approach then as well.", ">>{amorrowlyday} : See, this content, while basically the same, is much more interesting because of how you formulated it. >What does Hillary gain from it? She shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place. The panicked moment that caused her to barter was fleeting, but she followed it. **That** is when she gained. Following through now and having the debate would be more akin to follow-up care ensuring that *her integrity* is not an issue, when as we both agree her opponent has none. Being able to say: I followed through on my word *is* something to be gained, and optically something the Clinton campaign *needs and has needed*. >If she doesn't debate Trump can't say too much since he just REFUSED to debate Bernie and went back on his word to do so as well. All of which happened *after* she refused to debate Senator Sanders in the first place. In fact Were I a tin-foil hatter I might be inclined to suggest that he did so explicitly to take the heat off clinton. Obviously it's just disagreement within Trumps ranks, but the conspiracy is tantalizing, *and that's not good*. Right now the *last* thing Secretary Clinton wants to be doing is tacting the same wing as Donald trump. I don't know about you but I wouldn't support someone who presumes that raw skill is enough to take down the opposition even if it is trump. >If she DOES debate... She *shouldn't* debate at this point. It doesn't seem outrageous to suggest that waffling is seen as worse than reneging, which I grant is a problem. Furthermore, your very premise is disingenuous because it asks about debating *now* after the Trump fiasco. Since you like if's: IF Trump hadn't dropped out then the answer to your question is: It prevents Trump from having an opportunity to debate. Trump would probably get trounced by either one, *but what if he didn't* That possibility alone should have been enough to agree to a debate. By not doing so Senator Clinton looks weak at the game she has chased after her whole life, and I think that is a greater net loss. (I'm using your definition of game here)", ">>{UvonTheDeplorable} : Because she's done more than people with raging hemroids will do in their entire lifetime.", '>>{Stennick} : See I just can\'t get behind gaining "I kept my word". Would it be a nice little story? Sure but its not going to sway people into thinking she\'s honest so the gains from "I kept my word" would be incremental at best. And again DOING it would open her up to any number of possible attacks. Anytime anyone speaks "live" to an audience full of people fielding unexpected questions words get twisted, tongues get tied. Its happened to Romney (Binders and Binders of Women, 47%), etc. Its even happened to Sanders a few times when he wasn\'t prepared to answer how he was going to achieve any number of stump items. Lord knows its happened to Trump. It happens to every politician and look no farther than Romney. The minute that " binders and blinders of women" become a meme he went from being neck and neck and winning in a lot of polls to his campaign dropping like a rock. So opening herself up to that possibility when she has nothing to gain from it but minuscule bump in her honesty perception isn\'t worth it. The reward is she kept her word to Senator Sanders and debated him when it didn\'t matter. That reward would get her most likely an unnoticable tick in the favorable or honesty column. The risk is she says something stupid on purpose or accidentally and it completely tanks her campaign. I wouldn\'t exactly call it waffling. To me what Donald did was "waffling" will I, won\'t I, I will, I won\'t, etc. Hillary said she would debate him in Cali and is now as far as I can tell ignoring it or making excuses why. Its not really back and forth though. If she doesn\'t debate Trump THEN she looks weak but can you give me one example of a debate between inner party candidates when the lead was this far this late in the primary? I don\'t think one exists. I\'m asking not telling because maybe you can give me an example of a time to Dems or two GOP debated with a delegate margin this wide this late in the game. So I don\'t think the overall general public gives a shit. Nobody is going to say " oh she wouldn\'t debate Sanders for a fifth, six, seventh time (whatever the number is) after she said she would she\'s weak". I think most people will look at this and say "who cares whats the point". Now if she didn\'t debate Trump at all in the general or if the lead was MUCH closer and Bernie had a shot and she refused to debate THEN it would be looked upon as weak. Just my opinion I guess we\'ll see how it plays out. I still think Trump is easily beaten and can be easily exposed in debates especially if they follow through with the three debate format that happens most of the time. Now that being said Hillary\'s stock has plummeted which is strange because nothing NEW has really came out about her. All this shit people are talking about now was there a year ago. Yet I remember when she came out of that first Bengazi hearing people were praising her for holding her own and standing up to the GOP.

But as you say, he must be guilty then.', ">>{Stennick} : You realize debates weren't even a regular thing until the mid 80's right? Like before that maybe you'd debate, maybe you wouldn't. Most people debate because there are issues between them and they want to plead their case. The differences between them are clear. We live in a 24 hour news cycle and a limitless internet. Anyone and everyone has a way to get their information on these canidates. There is no need for MORE debates, especially when the debates they have had have damn near put me to sleep and aren't pulling in monster ratings. There is no need for a debate other than to give Sanders air time and all it would do is open Hillary or anyone else up to their opponent. Its why Trump refused to debate Cruz and its why Trump won't debate Bernie and its why the GOP said in general that 2012 had too many debates.", '>>{Stennick} : Oh yeah because you\'re punished for going back on your word and not telling the truth in Politics all the time. You\'re saying its best to tell the truth when playing the game and its important to keep you word when playing the game. Was Bush honest in 00 when his brother helped him steal the Presidency. Was Bush honest in 04 when he painted John Kerry as a coward instead of a war hero. Was Reagan honest when he painted Jimmy Carter as weak for having solar energy in the white house? Has Trump been honest about anything? There is negative amounts of correlation in regards to "playing the game" IE: being successful in politics and honesty.', '>>{Stennick} : I would agree it does seem fair and I\'m not disputing that its the fair thing to do. In a perfect world we\'d get a ton of these debates from everyone involved on both sides. But from a strategy point of view it makes little sense. I\'m not talking about merit of honesty or what is "right". I\'m merely pointing out that from a strategy point of view Hillary has nothing to gain from a debate with Sanders. The people that would switch their California vote to her if she performed well are the people that are already going to vote for her because she\'s the nominee. The people that aren\'t going to vote for her wouldn\'t vote for her no matter if she revealed herself as Christ live on air. Hillary needs to hunker down and figure out her Trump problem. Not playing around with a candidate thats losing by all most three times the margin she was in 08. Again from a strategy point of view.', '>>{amorrowlyday} : Nothing before your last 2 points are worth responding to, as they aren\'t relevant to the game being played out right now. The last point is only relevant because it demonstrates that we aren\'t talking about the same thing. I\'m not talking about "playing the game" as in politics in general, I\'m talking about playing the specific game we are facing today. A game drastically changes depending on who the players and officials are and todays officials (voters) aren\'t the same as 4 years ago. As for Trump, Trump doesn\'t need to be honest. He is a demagogue, He is all offense. What is he on the offense about? Political spin. By taking contrarian positions he can force his opponent into a corner and eviscerate them by dragging out their *overt* lies. It\'s hard to do that to trump when he doesn\'t actually stand for anything.', '>>{Stennick} : I don\'t disagree with what you\'re saying about Trump but debating the second place guy is only going to give Trump MORE shit to come after you about. If you don\'t debate Hilary didn\'t keep her word. If you do debate "not even her own party likes her". Lose/lose as I said hunker down. Trump has yet to be pinned in a one on one situation where he\'d have to talk policy, and real politics and he\'s not been held accountable to his record of lies because its been multiple people on stage. He takes his fire for a few minutes and then the topic goes to Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio and RIGHT when they started hammering Trump is when the debates stopped. They had two debates where Trump was gotten after and his poll numbers did drop and Ted Cruz\'s did rise in that time. The debates stopped and Trump\'s numbers went up. So I think the key to beating Trump is to expose him, make him say something dumb. Sure he\'s said dumb things but NONE of this matters. August, September, October thats when people pay attention. Thats when people will remember things. So many campaigns have risen and tanked in the late summer early fall. Clinton went from third place in the general to leading in polls by around July/August. Dukakis fell apart in August in the polls. Reagan got his surge over Carter in the late summer. Romney lost his edge in the late summer over Obama. I believe the reason for this is thats when people pay attention. Debating Sanders in a nothing debate against a guy she\'s already beaten will do her no good. She\'s gonna get attacked either way might as well not risk opening up more lines of attack than needed.', ">>{amorrowlyday} : This wordvomit isn't substantially different from the wordvomit floating around immediately after Secretary Clinton refused to debate, and while I argued against it then I'm not going to now. Now I don't have to. Now It doesn't hold water because Senator Clinton is in the middle of a social/media drubbing that may not be comparable to previous elections. Your word vomit may well be outdated, I'd imagine we'll see more cracks in the next couple weeks.", '>>{Stennick} : I appreciate you insulting me instead of having a rationale discussion. Although I\'m not sure how you could argue that debating Sanders is GOOD from a strategy point of view. What does Hillary gain from it? You have people that will watch it and if she reveals herself as Christ they STILL won\'t vote for her. And you have people that watch it an no matter what they will vote for whoever the democratic nominee is in November. She\'s not going to gain support no matter what. If she doesn\'t debate Trump can\'t say too much since he just REFUSED to debate Bernie and went back on his word to do so as well. Even if he does say something its not like there is a large national outcry for the Sanders/Clinton debate so nobody is going to really care. The campaign is over, Hillary won, who cares? Thats the general sentiment among the majority of voters. If she DOES debate she goes from being attacked for going against her word to being attacked on anything and everything she says. Its one area being attacked in versus an infinite amount. From a strategic point of view a debate only helps Sanders. Which is fine if your standpoint is "I want my guy to win as much as he can so I want her to give him that chance". But other than that it doesn\'t make sense.', ">>{h00dpussy} : The cynic in me just makes me think he does it for PR. If you imagine everything the Clinton do as calculated then it becomes a pretty awful image. Even when he courted the black vote back in the day to get elected just to push policies that don't really favour the race (but because he is America's first honorary black president it's all good) and feeds into the more radical white sentiments. He also took the hands on approach then as well.", ">>{amorrowlyday} : See, this content, while basically the same, is much more interesting because of how you formulated it. >What does Hillary gain from it? She shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place. The panicked moment that caused her to barter was fleeting, but she followed it. **That** is when she gained. Following through now and having the debate would be more akin to follow-up care ensuring that *her integrity* is not an issue, when as we both agree her opponent has none. Being able to say: I followed through on my word *is* something to be gained, and optically something the Clinton campaign *needs and has needed*. >If she doesn't debate Trump can't say too much since he just REFUSED to debate Bernie and went back on his word to do so as well. All of which happened *after* she refused to debate Senator Sanders in the first place. In fact Were I a tin-foil hatter I might be inclined to suggest that he did so explicitly to take the heat off clinton. Obviously it's just disagreement within Trumps ranks, but the conspiracy is tantalizing, *and that's not good*. Right now the *last* thing Secretary Clinton wants to be doing is tacting the same wing as Donald trump. I don't know about you but I wouldn't support someone who presumes that raw skill is enough to take down the opposition even if it is trump. >If she DOES debate... She *shouldn't* debate at this point. It doesn't seem outrageous to suggest that waffling is seen as worse than reneging, which I grant is a problem. Furthermore, your very premise is disingenuous because it asks about debating *now* after the Trump fiasco. Since you like if's: IF Trump hadn't dropped out then the answer to your question is: It prevents Trump from having an opportunity to debate. Trump would probably get trounced by either one, *but what if he didn't* That possibility alone should have been enough to agree to a debate. By not doing so Senator Clinton looks weak at the game she has chased after her whole life, and I think that is a greater net loss. (I'm using your definition of game here)", '>>{Stennick} : See I just can\'t get behind gaining "I kept my word". Would it be a nice little story? Sure but its not going to sway people into thinking she\'s honest so the gains from "I kept my word" would be incremental at best. And again DOING it would open her up to any number of possible attacks. Anytime anyone speaks "live" to an audience full of people fielding unexpected questions words get twisted, tongues get tied. Its happened to Romney (Binders and Binders of Women, 47%), etc. Its even happened to Sanders a few times when he wasn\'t prepared to answer how he was going to achieve any number of stump items. Lord knows its happened to Trump. It happens to every politician and look no farther than Romney. The minute that " binders and blinders of women" become a meme he went from being neck and neck and winning in a lot of polls to his campaign dropping like a rock. So opening herself up to that possibility when she has nothing to gain from it but minuscule bump in her honesty perception isn\'t worth it. The reward is she kept her word to Senator Sanders and debated him when it didn\'t matter. That reward would get her most likely an unnoticable tick in the favorable or honesty column. The risk is she says something stupid on purpose or accidentally and it completely tanks her campaign. I wouldn\'t exactly call it waffling. To me what Donald did was "waffling" will I, won\'t I, I will, I won\'t, etc. Hillary said she would debate him in Cali and is now as far as I can tell ignoring it or making excuses why. Its not really back and forth though. If she doesn\'t debate Trump THEN she looks weak but can you give me one example of a debate between inner party candidates when the lead was this far this late in the primary? I don\'t think one exists. I\'m asking not telling because maybe you can give me an example of a time to Dems or two GOP debated with a delegate margin this wide this late in the game. So I don\'t think the overall general public gives a shit. Nobody is going to say " oh she wouldn\'t debate Sanders for a fifth, six, seventh time (whatever the number is) after she said she would she\'s weak". I think most people will look at this and say "who cares whats the point". Now if she didn\'t debate Trump at all in the general or if the lead was MUCH closer and Bernie had a shot and she refused to debate THEN it would be looked upon as weak. Just my opinion I guess we\'ll see how it plays out. I still think Trump is easily beaten and can be easily exposed in debates especially if they follow through with the three debate format that happens most of the time. Now that being said Hillary\'s stock has plummeted which is strange because nothing NEW has really came out about her. All this shit people are talking about now was there a year ago. Yet I remember when she came out of that first Bengazi hearing people were praising her for holding her own and standing up to the GOP. Politics are fun and weird and fascinating and crazy :)', '>>{McKnotz} : And anyone else think bill might be getting a little long in the tooth because his wife has castrated him. I dont think i consider him a man anymore, there is just a shell left of him.', ">>{OrthodoxAtheist} : No. You never settle a rape allegation, especially if you're a public figure. You fight that to the end even if you go broke in the process, until your name is cleared. That is if you are innocent. Michael Jackson is the perfect example.

There still is a certain respect that you would expect from a salesman to not lie to you boldfaced when you at least ask the right questions.

As I write, the number one video cassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. Beavis and Butthead remains popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning - not just of science, but of anything - are avoidable, even undesirable. We\'ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements - transportation, communications, and all other indus-tries; agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, protecting the environment; and even the key democratic institution of voting - profoundly depend on science and technology.

An example might help: Imagine you sell jeans. Conservatives buy jeans. Liberals buy jeans. Pretty much everyone buys jeans. But one day, your brand gets politicized because someone central to it became President. Suddenly, liberals refuse to buy your brand - which is easy, there are dozens if not hundreds or thousands of brands of jeans they could buy instead. Does the loss of business from almost half the population hurt less than the added business of the other half? Well, I'd guess no, since few people are actually going to afford and/or bother to buy one specific brand of jeans just to keep you in business. I just can't see conservatives buying enough to offset the losses from the liberals. It's easy to avoid one brand when there are hundreds of options; it's much harder to avoid hundreds so you can focus on the one. I worked retail management for about four years, and I know that it doesn't take much in the way of sales slumps to get a brand dropped. A 10% drop in sales would pretty much guarantee a brand getting dropped, and that's not factoring in the potential brand damage and disruption that comes from a volatile brand. Retailers want to sell safe, easy, reliable brands. Right now, Ivanka clothing is boat-rocking, polarizing, and potentially unreliable - they will drop it now before it causes real issues later. In the case of TJ Maxx and Marshalls specifically, I'd argue that there might be the added element of Trump attacking Nordsrom at play here. It's possible that they've decided that waiting (and leaving Nordstrom alone in dropping the brand) could lead to Nordstrom taking the brunt, which then lends power to Trump's position and the Ivanka brand simply because stockholders will be hesitant to trust in companies that go against Trump. It's all about money, and getting out of Ivanka retail right now is one of the best ways to prevent a bigger potential issue down the road.", '>>{hillaryIndicted} : Moralizing this when the other party will commit genocide and install a wahabi theocracy is not called for.

She's accused Obama of arming ISIS without providing any evidence. She's also spoken in favor of the Trump administration and wants more ex-generals in the Cabinet.

She also strongly condemned bigoted statements towards Muslims by Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Lindsey Graham. She is a champion of freedom of religion and separation of church and state, which she spoke about at the annual Reason Rally (https://medium.com/@TulsiGabbard/transcript-tulsis-speech-at-the-reason-rally-in-washington-d-c-this-month-85b1f2d577ea#.to48e5d9i).

Furthermore your statement reveals your own Hinduphobia and bigotry against Hindus by painting someone with a broad brush based on their religion. She is NOT backed by Sheldon Adelson and has never received a dime from him. She voted to give extra funding to the program that vets refugees so that their entrance to the U.S. can be expedited; she's also spoken out numerous times to encourage the entrance of refugees from Muslim countries (https://youtu.be/EZTut3CgFjc?t=3m15s) and she's been 100% pro LGBT since elected to Congress and was endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. In respect to the issue of the U.S./Obama administration arming extremists in Syria, this has been reported by both the NYT and Wall Street Journal (here's a helpful article to understand the issue: http://www.atimes.com/us-ends-training-al-qaeda-isis-collaborators//).

As for this: > her actions in Congress in support of marriage equality and LGBT rights have proven that.

She's accused Obama of arming ISIS without providing any evidence. She's also spoken in favor of the Trump administration and wants more ex-generals in the Cabinet. She was literally a Republican until a few years ago, and her supposed Progressivism is so obviously a veneer to get elected it's not even funny.

It's too far ahead to talk about 2020. The mid terms will be critical.", '>>{ducphat} : Tulsi is supportive of people of ALL faiths (or no faith), including Muslims. She endorsed Muslim Keith Ellison for DNC. She also co-sponsored HRes 569 condemning violence, bigotry and hatred towards Muslims (https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/569. She also strongly condemned bigoted statements towards Muslims by Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Lindsey Graham. She is a champion of freedom of religion and separation of church and state, which she spoke about at the annual Reason Rally (https://medium.com/@TulsiGabbard/transcript-tulsis-speech-at-the-reason-rally-in-washington-d-c-this-month-85b1f2d577ea#.to48e5d9i).

People raised the same issue about JFK when he ran as a Catholic.', '>>{ducphat} : I don\'t agree with her on every issue, but she\'s clearly a strong progressive. She\'s fought against the DAPL for months and personally went there to support the water protectors, she\'s a peace dove trying to end U.S. dictator toppling war policy, she\'s fought to break up the big banks, criminally prosecute corporate executives who rip off the American people, she\'s pushed for criminal justice reform and legalization of marijuana, she\'s endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign for her strong support of LGBT, she\'s for protecting social security and for enacting universal healthcare, she was given an award for fighting for consumers\' "right to know" on GMO, she\'s for renewable energy and has been fighting to protect the environment since she was a teenager, etc. etc. You can learn more about her vision, voting record and positions on the issues on her website: https://www.votetulsi.com/vision. I saw Clintonistas try to smear her positions ever since Tulsi resigned from the DNC to endorse Bernie. They\'re good at their game, so unfortunately people have been influenced by the smears, but the reality is Tulsi is a true progressive for the people.', ">>{ducphat} : What you are saying is patently false and is another example of how the Clinton establishment tried to smear Tulsi is retaliation for her resignation at the DNC and her strong support of Bernie Sanders. Furthermore your statement reveals your own Hinduphobia and bigotry against Hindus by painting someone with a broad brush based on their religion. She is NOT backed by Sheldon Adelson and has never received a dime from him. She voted to give extra funding to the program that vets refugees so that their entrance to the U.S. can be expedited; she's also spoken out numerous times to encourage the entrance of refugees from Muslim countries (https://youtu.be/EZTut3CgFjc?t=3m15s) and she's been 100% pro LGBT since elected to Congress and was endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. In respect to the issue of the U.S./Obama administration arming extremists in Syria, this has been reported by both the NYT and Wall Street Journal (here's a helpful article to understand the issue: http://www.atimes.com/us-ends-training-al-qaeda-isis-collaborators//). In regard to the generals, she simply said that they are civilians and, as such, they should not be discriminated against for having served. She is also a LIFELONG DEMOCRAT.", '>>{ducphat} : Quite the opposite, actually. She\'s anti- groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda and has supported and introduced legislation expediting entry to vetted refugees from Afghanistan and Iraq. She\'s also introduced legislation to [arm Sunni Muslims against ISIS.](https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/photos-rep-tulsi-gabbard-meets-middle-east-leaders-encourage-empowering-sunnis) supported bills [and spoken in favor of vetted refugees from Muslim majority Iraq and Afghanistan](https://youtu.be/EZTut3CgFjc?t=3m15s), has consistently opposed bigotry against Muslims by [Trump](https://www.facebook.com/cnnpolitics/videos/1028375490537617/), [Carson](https://www.facebook.com/VoteTulsi/photos/a.176069725782788.44124.174866249236469/935087709880982/), [Graham] (http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/your-world-cavuto/2015/02/04/rep-gabbard-not-religious-war) and others. She has said repeatedly emphasized this: > "The majority of Muslims are practicing the spiritual path of Islam within their own lives in a pluralistic, peaceful way. So by calling organizations like ISIS Islamic or Islamist **extremists** [emphasis hers], we are making a distinction between the vast majority of Muslims who are not extremists and a handful of those who are.". It is a position supported by [moderate](http://ifut.net/3569-2/) and [progressive Muslims](http://www.wnyc.org/story/countering-radical-islam/) If you think war doesn\'t change people, I suggest you try it. Tulsi [said she was wrong](http://archive.is/5DkwH) and her actions in Congress [in support of marriage equality and LGBT rights](https://www.votetulsi.com/node/25012) have proven that.', '>>{Pylons} : > Quite the opposite, actually. The only possible thing I said that could be false is that she\'s anti-muslim - and I consider that completely debatable. [She *did* vote for the SAFE act](https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/114-2015/h643), and [she *did* sponsor legislation to fast-track Yezidi and other minorities from ISIS-affected areas.](https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/435/text) These are facts that you cannot deny. As for this: > her actions in Congress in support of marriage equality and LGBT rights have proven that. Her actions in Congress prove nothing except that she wants to keep her job in the face of an increasingly LGBT-friendly constituency. Are they evidence to back up your claim that she is now LGBT friendly? Sure. I even admitted that my thinking her left-ward journey is bullshit is more spurious than the facts of her legislation record.

This happens all the time in retail. The sales are down and they dump the product. If the name has become toxic and they can't move the product what do you expect them to do? 100% if it was selling they wouldn't be doing this. This is an expensive product that is aimed at women, a group Trump has routinely offended. There are consequences to our actions.", '>>{radiant_snowdrop} : Good. Using your wallet to protest the Trump clan is also a good way to oppose him.', '>>{deadbeatdad80} : Shelf space is at a premium. You put what you can sell there.', ">>{Danny2lok} : No more petty than either Trump or his daughter have been to minorities, servicemen, and women the past year. You want petty? Don't lecture me about American jobs and outsourcing labor, then try to sell me massively overpriced crap that you had made in China.", ">>{thinkB4WeSpeak} : The people didn't want a conflict of interest so since dony wants to continue being a businessman why not let his family's buisness suffer. If he won't be honest at least the American people will make him pay for it.", '>>{Odawn} : Excellent. The Trump financial and business empire includes businesses and deals involving Donald, Ivanka, and Melania. IMO, if the financial losses and collapse becomes too large for Trump and his family to accept, the better the chances Trump will resign the office of the presidency to attend to his businesses. Drive the Trump businesses down so they are losing 100s of millions each month, and Trump might quit the White House and get of government work before he goes flat broke.', ">>{BalaaClaava} : Wonder if Trump can survive the attacks from the left. Unprecedented. This won't end well for Trump, for the left, for America.", ">>{Bobby_Marks2} : > You put what you can sell there. You put what sells _best_ there. The Ivanka line may not have been bleeding money, but if there is something more profitable it's going to get the space.", '>>{deadbeatdad80} : Yes you are right, I should have said that.', ">>{Bobby_Marks2} : It's business, and honestly it's not a surprise that these kinds of brands suffer - polarizing brands almost always suffer in a market with choice. An example might help: Imagine you sell jeans. Conservatives buy jeans. Liberals buy jeans. Pretty much everyone buys jeans. But one day, your brand gets politicized because someone central to it became President. Suddenly, liberals refuse to buy your brand - which is easy, there are dozens if not hundreds or thousands of brands of jeans they could buy instead. Does the loss of business from almost half the population hurt less than the added business of the other half? Well, I'd guess no, since few people are actually going to afford and/or bother to buy one specific brand of jeans just to keep you in business. I just can't see conservatives buying enough to offset the losses from the liberals. It's easy to avoid one brand when there are hundreds of options; it's much harder to avoid hundreds so you can focus on the one. I worked retail management for about four years, and I know that it doesn't take much in the way of sales slumps to get a brand dropped. A 10% drop in sales would pretty much guarantee a brand getting dropped, and that's not factoring in the potential brand damage and disruption that comes from a volatile brand. Retailers want to sell safe, easy, reliable brands. Right now, Ivanka clothing is boat-rocking, polarizing, and potentially unreliable - they will drop it now before it causes real issues later. In the case of TJ Maxx and Marshalls specifically, I'd argue that there might be the added element of Trump attacking Nordsrom at play here. It's possible that they've decided that waiting (and leaving Nordstrom alone in dropping the brand) could lead to Nordstrom taking the brunt, which then lends power to Trump's position and the Ivanka brand simply because stockholders will be hesitant to trust in companies that go against Trump. It's all about money, and getting out of Ivanka retail right now is one of the best ways to prevent a bigger potential issue down the road.", '>>{FUCK_THE_THALMOR} : Also long time in retail and you are spot on. Now is the time to pull out. If only Fred Trump had done so.', '>>{branamuffin} : They are parasites who contribute nothing and greedily suck up as much as possible at the expense of others.']]

A Pentagon employee crawled through the hole and saw no evidence of a plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIy9hjB3DGk Major General Stubblebine confirms that the wreckage at the pentagon is consistent with a missile and not a plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc1ql4TfCZw This WTC witness insists it was a bomb, no plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1-BCeNcm0 These firemen said they counted 3 explosions. The Police/FBI are reported to have attributed this to vans with explosives in the WTC basement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfxkcBmZfK0 You can also see raw footage (ie. not altered to show a CG plane) that shows the missile impacting the WTC (no plane): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wF74zTLjNg You can see a comparison showing the NBC footage showing no plane was digitally altered to show a plane (as well as adjust the colors to make the buildings appeared white and sky blue for increased psychological impact): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPKq2K2dh6k The altered footage in some cases is obviously fake, for example tiling smoke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkzfKRe0gbc But what wasn\'t CG was the explosions and the plane cutout shape they created. You can see those small explosions here (6 minute mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT1z90BB8E4&feature=endscreen&NR=1 The cutting charges were planted by Israeli Mossad posing as art students who rented a whole floor and got construction permits at the site, and made a temporary balcony. They even made a book about their "art" - which showed them standing next to boxes and boxes of explosives fuses in the WTC! http://winteractionables.com/?p=25207 Mossad agents filmed the missile impacts/explosions (to add CG planes later and pass on to media) and later went up to the roof to plant radio jamming devices. They were arrested and this is documented by the FBI. There was traces of explosives in their van and they were set up filming BEFORE the attack: https://www.scribd.com/collections/4010452/9-11-The-Dancing-Israelis-FBI-report Let me stress that again, the FBI arrested dancing Israelis on 911, not muslims. They refused to take lie detector tests for months, and when they did, they failed. So much of that FBI report is redacted, proof positive of guilt. They needed to fake plane impacts because a real plane would be shredded by the WTC like cheese through a grater. That\'s why when the Transasia plane collided with a taxi, the wing broke off, and the taxi wasn\'t sliced in half at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ29Zr7wWnw According to a WTC architect in a 80s interview, the impact of a plane (300 tonnes) is nothing compared to the 13,000 tonnes of force trying to push the WTC over simply because of its enormous surface area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E15GbdVaV-Q WTC project management engineer atttests the buildings could survive multiple plane impacts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fQlC2AIWrY The WTC designers did a study for 600mph-1 impact which showed the towers would easily withstand the 911 attack. http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/design.html Someone planted an engine (though wrong make) to further the plane deception: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/34o4y0/911_engine_that_shot_out_of_the_south_tower_was/ Essentially the media got punked by Israel, because journalists just report what they\'re told. You can see another example of newscasters being fooled by a movie set into thinking it\'s a real plane accident. At the 7 minute mark in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wozTHxykDwQ The larger 911 plan required the destruction of the Washington bridge and Lincoln tunnel. That would take out the fiber optic cables linked to stock market/banking, markets would have crashed and there would be martial law introduced. You can see this TV report on the other Israeli vans that were intercepted, one of them exploded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmpWe2Rhi_I Israeli companies moved out of the building months before the attack. Israelis in America were warned in advance through an Israeli messaging service: http://www.haaretz.com/odigo-says-workers-were-warned-of-attack-1.70579 Hundreds of Israelis were flown out of America, despite a flight ban, to avoid them being arrested by the FBI, including the "art students": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/1387069/US-arrests-200-young-Israelis-in-spying-investigation.html Israel is the almost only country that benefited from the September 11 th attacks.

A Pentagon employee crawled through the hole and saw no evidence of a plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIy9hjB3DGk Major General Stubblebine confirms that the wreckage at the pentagon is consistent with a missile and not a plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc1ql4TfCZw This WTC witness insists it was a bomb, no plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1-BCeNcm0 These firemen said they counted 3 explosions. The Police/FBI are reported to have attributed this to vans with explosives in the WTC basement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfxkcBmZfK0 You can also see raw footage (ie. not altered to show a CG plane) that shows the missile impacting the WTC (no plane): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wF74zTLjNg You can see a comparison showing the NBC footage showing no plane was digitally altered to show a plane (as well as adjust the colors to make the buildings appeared white and sky blue for increased psychological impact): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPKq2K2dh6k The altered footage in some cases is obviously fake, for example tiling smoke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkzfKRe0gbc But what wasn\'t CG was the explosions and the plane cutout shape they created. You can see those small explosions here (6 minute mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT1z90BB8E4&feature=endscreen&NR=1 The cutting charges were planted by Israeli Mossad posing as art students who rented a whole floor and got construction permits at the site, and made a temporary balcony. They even made a book about their "art" - which showed them standing next to boxes and boxes of explosives fuses in the WTC! http://winteractionables.com/?p=25207 Mossad agents filmed the missile impacts/explosions (to add CG planes later and pass on to media) and later went up to the roof to plant radio jamming devices. They were arrested and this is documented by the FBI. There was traces of explosives in their van and they were set up filming BEFORE the attack: https://www.scribd.com/collections/4010452/9-11-The-Dancing-Israelis-FBI-report Let me stress that again, the FBI arrested dancing Israelis on 911, not muslims. They refused to take lie detector tests for months, and when they did, they failed. So much of that FBI report is redacted, proof positive of guilt. They needed to fake plane impacts because a real plane would be shredded by the WTC like cheese through a grater. That\'s why when the Transasia plane collided with a taxi, the wing broke off, and the taxi wasn\'t sliced in half at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ29Zr7wWnw According to a WTC architect in a 80s interview, the impact of a plane (300 tonnes) is nothing compared to the 13,000 tonnes of force trying to push the WTC over simply because of its enormous surface area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E15GbdVaV-Q WTC project management engineer atttests the buildings could survive multiple plane impacts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fQlC2AIWrY The WTC designers did a study for 600mph-1 impact which showed the towers would easily withstand the 911 attack. http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/design.html Someone planted an engine (though wrong make) to further the plane deception: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/34o4y0/911_engine_that_shot_out_of_the_south_tower_was/ Essentially the media got punked by Israel, because journalists just report what they\'re told. You can see another example of newscasters being fooled by a movie set into thinking it\'s a real plane accident. At the 7 minute mark in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wozTHxykDwQ The larger 911 plan required the destruction of the Washington bridge and Lincoln tunnel. That would take out the fiber optic cables linked to stock market/banking, markets would have crashed and there would be martial law introduced. You can see this TV report on the other Israeli vans that were intercepted, one of them exploded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmpWe2Rhi_I Israeli companies moved out of the building months before the attack. Israelis in America were warned in advance through an Israeli messaging service: http://www.haaretz.com/odigo-says-workers-were-warned-of-attack-1.70579 Hundreds of Israelis were flown out of America, despite a flight ban, to avoid them being arrested by the FBI, including the "art students": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/1387069/US-arrests-200-young-Israelis-in-spying-investigation.html Israel is the almost only country that benefited from the September 11 th attacks.

What I think should have been the case is Pulse shouldn't have had only one armed guard. They had 320 people packed into their enormous nightclub, with various bouncers and whatnot, yet they only have *one* armed guard? Mateen walked up and shot the guy right at the start, and the rest is history. Even if they had one more trained, armed guard there's a possibility they would have been substantially better off.

Your reply seems to consist of a criticism of the nightclub's policy to only have one armed bouncer, but that reply is non-responsive to my attack on the author's thesis. Regardless of whether the nightclub did something wrong, hiring more armed bouncers would have been *perfectly legal*. Thus, your response doesn't defend the article's thesis at all.

Maybe somebody with anarcho-capitalist leanings would encourage illegal entry before it occurs. But for the standard liberal, it\'s more "the deed has already been done, so now what do we do?"

So if I'm the good guy and I shoot the bad guy, first thing I do is reholster as long as I don't see anyone else with a gun. If I'm watching this go down, and I see one person shoot another with a gun, and I have the time to observe, I'd wait to see if he keeps shooting unarmed people, or if it looks like he is done shooting because the guy with the gun is down. If I really can't tell if the person is good or not, I would just run and not engage.", '>>{demagogue451} : No, but if you have an ex police or ex military teacher or faculty member who is trained and licensed to carry a firearm legally, why not let them?

Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to have clubgoers at these large clubs being armed needs to go visit one for even a few minutes. I was suggesting that even if you, me, and several others here agree, that there are many people who don't; there are many who think this article is making a strong point.", '>>{saturnengr0} : Thank you.

Except we actually prosecute unlawful carry, unlawful entry not so much", '>>{smithcm14} : Hmm...My gut tells me you might be on to something there.', ">>{reid8470} : Because not everyone agrees. What I think should have been the case is Pulse shouldn't have had only one armed guard. They had 320 people packed into their enormous nightclub, with various bouncers and whatnot, yet they only have *one* armed guard? Mateen walked up and shot the guy right at the start, and the rest is history. Even if they had one more trained, armed guard there's a possibility they would have been substantially better off. A team of 2-3 armed guards that are well-trained and able to communicate with each other--people that are prepared for instances like this. Fairly certain a venue that regularly hosts hundreds of people at a time could afford that.", ">>{nepils} : Yeah, I mean 99% of the time the worst consequence for illegal entry is just, y'know, removal to country of origin. And even that is discretionary. And I've never met a liberal who affirmatively *encouraged* unlawful entry in the way that this author *encourages* unlawful carry. Call me an optimist, I choose to believe that we're missing a coherent point the other poster was trying to make.", '>>{mclumber1} : And once he was inside, he had a building full of defenseless people that he could execute at his leisure.', ">>{nepils} : But again, the thesis of this article is that this incident might have been prevented had the patrons at the club been allowed to carry firearms, which is illegal in Florida. Your reply seems to consist of a criticism of the nightclub's policy to only have one armed bouncer, but that reply is non-responsive to my attack on the author's thesis. Regardless of whether the nightclub did something wrong, hiring more armed bouncers would have been *perfectly legal*. Thus, your response doesn't defend the article's thesis at all. So we're still left with the apparent consensus that nobody up here in the top of the thread thinks that 2am clubgoers should be packing heat. So again: why is anybody defending this article? Or did I misinterpret your comment and you're not endorsing the article?", '>>{hwkns} : You would have much better results if you had a law that prevented anybody on steroids from possessing a gun in the first place.', ">>{getridofappleskitle} : hahah yeah look at how good of a job you guys are doing at prosecuting all 11 million of them that entered illegally.

Let's talk about motorcycles my friend!", ">>{Byzantine279} : Let's not, I prefer to sleep with the lights off.", '>>{nepils} : I think the major (and forgive me, *obvious*) distinction is that the author of this article is encouraging people to break a law that they have not yet broken, while the immigration activists you\'re referring to are concerned with what should be done after a law has already been broken. Maybe somebody with anarcho-capitalist leanings would encourage illegal entry before it occurs. But for the standard liberal, it\'s more "the deed has already been done, so now what do we do?" So there\'s no "inciting," as there is in this article. That\'s a very major difference.', '>>{demagogue451} : He was expecting that. A person inside with a concealed gun could have surprised him.', ">>{demagogue451} : It's really not at all likely for two seperate law abiding people with guns to both be in a position to engage the shooter at the same time. Once someone engages the shooter, it will likely be over within a few seconds, with one of those two people down. Now we are back to just one shooter, the problem is we don't necessarily know which person won, good guy or bad guy. So if I'm the good guy and I shoot the bad guy, first thing I do is reholster as long as I don't see anyone else with a gun. If I'm watching this go down, and I see one person shoot another with a gun, and I have the time to observe, I'd wait to see if he keeps shooting unarmed people, or if it looks like he is done shooting because the guy with the gun is down. If I really can't tell if the person is good or not, I would just run and not engage.", '>>{demagogue451} : No, but if you have an ex police or ex military teacher or faculty member who is trained and licensed to carry a firearm legally, why not let them? No need to force anyone to carry, but if people actually WANT to carry, and know how to do so safely, why not let them?', ">>{reid8470} : I'm not endorsing the article--I completely disagree with these arguments when it comes to packed, crowded, hectic venues including the recent shooting in Paris. Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to have clubgoers at these large clubs being armed needs to go visit one for even a few minutes. I was suggesting that even if you, me, and several others here agree, that there are many people who don't; there are many who think this article is making a strong point.", '>>{saturnengr0} : Thank you.

It's funny that you desperately need to believe that Russian propaganda caused me to not vote for Hillary when I decided I would never support her the instant she refused to release the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street Banks. Having my posts auto-deleted by Politico also sealed the deal for me. I'm a big fan of the 1st Amendment and I don't like being silenced because of my views. Finally...Clinton has already given Wall Street many many bones...including the Great Grandaddy Bone of the All...repealing Glaes Steagal and refusing to put it back in place.

I get it.', '>>{Usawasfun} : I didn\'t say that.. but yes Russia did a lot in this election. -Hacked Hillary and Podesta (All 17 intelligence agencies agree) -Published fake news. -Used over 1000 Russian trolls to push that news to the top of social media like Twitter. -Made fake Bernie fb pages to push the fake news to Bernie supporters. You think Bernie is as pure as the driven snow, and was a helpless victim to the DNC. No proof that they "rigged it" against him.. but you like that idea. I guess maybe we aren\'t so different.', ">>{AdSin15} : Hillary hired thousands of trolls to IMPERSONATE Bernie supporters and act racist and sexist to people on the internet. Hillary took millions in bribes from the rich and refused to release her speeches because the information in them was SO DAMNING that the public could not be allowed to see it or it would have destroyed her candidacy. They pushed all kinds of fake news about Sanders...like the non-scandal of him buying a home. They actually tried calling him sexist and racist! Strategizing on how to attack him for being Jewish or an Atheist. Hillary was a WILLING agent of Wall Street. WILLING AGENT. She wasn't duped. Powerful groups didn't promote her candidacy as a way to get somebody more preferable into office. She was their henchwoman and they were attempting to install her in power to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of the American People. I think the problem is that you believe, for some strange reason, that an election rigged by American Billionaires is better than one rigged by Russian Billionaires.", ">>{Usawasfun} : Thousand of trolls to act sexist and racist? Gonna need a source on that. SPEECHES SO DAMNING that they were hacked and released and.. oh ya nothing was really in there. He bought that home after the election.. and again what proof do you have Hillary was behind that? They talked about having someone ask about his religion, well because that is a big deal to voters. See: How republicans vote, and talk about how christian they are all the time. That's politics, sorry they wondered if his religious views may turn off some voters. WILLING AGENT OF WALL STREET! Seems like they would have been much better giving to Trump, since he hired a bunch of wall street guys and is deregulating banking. She probably would have thrown wall street some sort of bone, but nothing like Trump. Lot's of attacks, 0 proof of any of it. Again, you bit hard on some propaganda. Just like Puttie wanted.", ">>{AdSin15} : Huh? it's common knowledge. Since you're playing dumb though here ya go: http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-clinton-digital-trolling-20160506-snap-htmlstory.html Of course with entire Corporations on your side you don't always need an Army of trolls. You can simply have the Corporation which owns the website delete any unwanted posts from the site. Politico had a system in place during the Primary which recorded the names of anti-Hillary posters and automatically deleted their posts if they were longer than a few words. I experienced this first hand during the primary as my posts would be auto-deleted by Politico. The frequency of posting was irrelevant. Often my first post of the day would be auto-deleted within seconds of it being posted. Hillary had NBC, CNN, Huffpost, Politico, were all proven to have been working directly with the Hillary campaign. It's funny that you desperately need to believe that Russian propaganda caused me to not vote for Hillary when I decided I would never support her the instant she refused to release the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street Banks. Having my posts auto-deleted by Politico also sealed the deal for me. I'm a big fan of the 1st Amendment and I don't like being silenced because of my views. Finally...Clinton has already given Wall Street many many bones...including the Great Grandaddy Bone of the All...repealing Glaes Steagal and refusing to put it back in place. That's the one the Banks wanted gone since the 1930's. The Clintons gave it to them and they knew that Hillary was good for more stuff.", '>>{Usawasfun} : >Others, however, say Clinton has little choice but to try, given the ubiquity of online assaults and the difficulty of squelching even provably untrue narratives once they have taken hold.

The reason I don't want Hillary Clinton in the White House is because she's a Clinton", '>>{Vesstair} : Well.... to be fair, that is more of an idiot thing, rather than a woman thing.', ">>{ShadyPollster} : Hey look if they wanna be on top I'm down.", '>>{ShadyPollster} : It is getting tiresome. Please America offer up a better type of lady than the shrill robot queen.', ">>{stillnotking} : I have no problem acknowledging the truth of that remark, even as someone who has absolutely no use for Clinton. I'm sure it is trickier for women. More minefields to navigate, in terms of public expectations. It must be especially tricky to be the *first* major-party woman candidate.", ">>{GodfreyLongbeard} : Don't you feel bad for her? It's not like everything she does calls her honesty and capacity to lead into question. No, she's handicapped because she has a snatch rather then a log and berries.", '>>{Vesstair} : I... I dont even know how you come to the conclusion Obama is an idiot. I doubt you will find many Harvard Law grads who are idiots.', '>>{colormefeminist} : Obama made tons of good zingers against Hillary and Romney, he is a witty man. Sarah Palin is a terrible debater and political personality, and she pretty much lost when she tried to claim that Katie Couric tripped her up with a "gotcha" question.', ">>{wizardofthefuture} : Not sure. It's generally not a good look for Clinton to blame her gender for the state of her campaign right after the deplorables comment and a few straight months of lying. American women are on average more trustworthy and more fit to lead than she is, so this just comes off as insulting and more of the same you'd expect from someone so out of touch with the people.", '>>{Vesstair} : Again, nothing supporting your claim. And just to argue the opposition, there is a difference between a legacy and someone who got in on their own merits.', '>>{Vesstair} : Gotcha question? You mean "what do you read to stay informed"?', ">>{ShadyPollster} : It's just more whining because after all...it's her turn.", '>>{ShadyPollster} : Yeah okay buddy, saying there are better women who could lead is sexist....', '>>{guitmusic12} : How do you feel about Ted Cruz or Antonin Scalia', '>>{Vesstair} : Cruz is hated by everybody he works with, and Scalia is a troll.', '>>{colormefeminist} : I nominate [Congresswoman Barbara Lee](https://youtu.be/Zh_sxilhyV0) to be the first woman president. Hillary is a disaster', ">>{CryloRen} : Once upon a time Ted Cruz was libertarian leanings then he started running for office and began pandering to the extreme right. Neither of those guys are idiots. They know exactly what they're doing.", ">>{pwomptastic} : The kind of old school feminism that Hillary Clinton represents- the type of feminism where a woman needs to do more than a man to be treated as a man's equal, is dying, thankfully. If she truly wanted to focus on a positive message the attention she brought to her gender would be to constantly point out how exciting it is that a woman is running for president of the United States. She wallows in the negative. It's no wonder she's constantly on the defense.", '>>{Vesstair} : Idiots? No. Horrible people? Probably, but not idiots.', '>>{Vesstair} : I doubt it is worth my time to reply to you... but... source?', '>>{orlinsky} : Why, oh why, has a women never been President? Not enough of them around? Pretending being a woman has not introduced additional struggles, however minimal, is delusional.', ">>{Diplocephalus} : Pro-feminist arguments and discussions are like the Reddit equivalent of saying Voldemort's name out loud in HP. Tumblr and Hugh Mungus and Anita Sarkeesian ruined everything.", '>>{ShadyPollster} : Naw now you are reaching. People who run for public office are open to criticism. Deal with it.', '>>{orlinsky} : Millions of voters are taught from an early age that Eve tricked Adam into eating the forbidden fruit. It sounds stupid but on a macro level these undertones have a tangible impact.', '>>{udownvotefacts} : I dont view their gender at all. I view people in those positions based on their past work, qualifications & their achievements which doesnt include having a vagina.', '>>{lipsyncforyourlife} : I think its more like, woman are as capable but face different challenges', ">>{WyrmSaint} : Because it's pretty obvious that the problems she's having comes from her history of constant lying, her Nixon-esque opaqueness, trading Clinton Foundation donations for ambassadorships and other pay-for-play, the insider-trading, rigging the primaries, abuse of power, taking foreign donations, and obstruction of justice.", ">>{WyrmSaint} : In 2016 it's probably an advantage. People like Obama and want another *first* president.", '>>{orlinsky} : Clinton is not doing that well among young voters who should be more excited about this kind of thing.', ">>{SpindlyGibbons} : Scalia is gone, and he deserves more credit than he gets here. You should read up on him, I've seen you post here so I know you aren't a bad person. He was in favor of states rights for contentious issues that others think should be federal, but his reasoning was there. I mean, he's the reason we can burn a flag as free speech, or the reason our homes can't be scanned with thermal imaging without a warrant, among a list of other things.", '>>{FavoriteCentaurMoe} : > trading Clinton Foundation donations for ambassadorships The President is in charge of giving out ambassadorships right?', ">>{WyrmSaint} : That's because it's not 'this kind of thing' that's turning them away, it's her complete lack of trustworthiness, scandals, etc.", ">>{WyrmSaint} : Hypothetical situation: You're the president of a company and you can hire someone because they're well-qualified or because they gave you a few million dollars. Which is better for the company?", '>>{partanimal} : The only person focused on her gender is her.', ">>{FavoriteCentaurMoe} : Well-qualified. But what I'm saying is that Clinton isn't President and therefore can't have a history of trading Clinton Foundation donations for ambassadorships.", '>>{orlinsky} : How does the tone of her voice impact her trustworthiness? How does the shape of her jawline and hair impact how people feel about her? Voters are emotional and this stuff matters.', '>>{partanimal} : So asking for a better man than trump, one who is less abrasive and arrogant would surely be decried by you for being sexist as well, right?', ">>{WyrmSaint} : I can't lay out the paper trail of how Clinton exercised her influence (she's the Secretary of State, she's around the president all the time, plenty of opportunity), I can just point out the [huge correlation](http://i.sli.mg/RmL2pJ.jpg) between donations to the Clinton Foundation and positions of power.", '>>{FavoriteCentaurMoe} : I agree there is a correlation, but why the fuck would Obama care if they donated to Clinton?', ">>{WyrmSaint} : I bet she gains more voters from people who want a first woman president than she loses to those factors. Come to think of it, it's the second woman president that would have a tougher time. I think she's gaining more support than she's losing from the gender issue.", '>>{WyrmSaint} : She has political power. Again, no specifics, but she definitely has stuff (congressmen under her thumb, that kind of thing) to trade.', ">>{kstinfo} : If I understand your point, shouldn't the fact that a woman wears makeup and has her hair styled be considered 'cheating' in a more perfect world?", ">>{Imgur_Lurker} : It's even dumber because the person she's running against is infamous for how dumb his hair is...", ">>{Deplorable4U} : Doesn't help that every peer we've ever had that fails upwards is jewish and/or female.

A chief editor of the Harvard Law Review. He then taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. What you're doing is disgraceful.", ">>{Novae_Blue} : That makes his policies on the first and fourth amendments unquestionable and flawless, I'm sure. He's not an idiot, but the policies he advocates for are being sold to idiots by someone who knows that many Americans *are* idiots and are proud of it. Those same policies are idiotic at best...unless you're a powerful person who stands to gain financially from them.", '>>{growyurown} : We all get it, you have a vagina.', ">>{growyurown} : The theme is if you don't support her you are sexist. Get used to it.", '>>{partanimal} : You would have been right 40 years ago. But people today say "lady" without meaning that definition and instead meaning "woman" ALL the time. And what about the rest of it? Words like "abrasive"? And finally, since when does "robot" have any sort of gender relevance at all?', ">>{partanimal} : No, it's the exact same thing as saying a better kind of woman our a better kind of human. If you don't want her gender to be an issue, stop making it one. The only people focused on her gender are her and her minions.", ">>{orlinsky} : The problem is there's 100's of years of history of CEO's, Congressmen, Presidents, etc. that show women are underrepresented when it comes to democratic positions of power. In our world that means women have some sort of disadvantage."], ['>>{IbanezDavy} : Either nothing is a miracle or EVERYTHING is. Rainbows!', '>>{CheetoJesusTheonlyon} : Yes, but the first step is admitting you have a problem, these people will never do that.', '>>{MC_Carty} : Disagree strongly on "no one is deplorable." Somewhat agree on "no one is irredeemable."', '>>{thegoodvibe} : Except those that have seen the folly of their ways and continue to thrive in them, such as the KKK.', '>>{lordfredericknorth} : No one is deplorable, no one is irredeemable. See also: "all lives matter."', '>>{cyclopsrex} : I would rather be seen as deplorable than a killer or rapist.', '>>{spaceghoti} : Some people *are* deplorable, when their actions make them that way. As for being redeemable, "capable of" should not be confused with "willing to." Thus far, the die-hard racists who flock to Trump\'s rhetoric have demonstrated they\'re proud of their bigotry and see no reason to change. All efforts to explain have failed, so why not stop pretending that it\'s okay to be a bigot and also stop pretending that it\'s not happening? Instead, let\'s shine a light on it and remind people why they don\'t want to associate with that kind of festering rot.', ">>{cyclopsrex} : My point is Hillary's remarks are very tempered compared to Trump's.", '>>{moxy801} : >No One Is Deplorable, No One Is Irredeemable But that is what the whole right-wing mindset is predicated upon.', '>>{intravenus_de_milo} : Well there you go, the right wing calling for kumbaya.', '>>{InFearn0} : Aren\'t there people that aren\'t worth the risk of trying to redeem? The only true test of redemption is putting someone in a position where they can repeat their offensive and seeing what they do. But if their past offensive is bad enough, who would take the chance they would repeat it? In the practical world we triage. We access relative risk and likelihoods to maximize gain and minimize wasted effort. That means deciding that some people aren\'t worth the effort. They are too far gone to prioritize. Now perhaps the number of people that are "too far gone" just isn\'t that high. But I have to ask myself, after Trump loses in November, would we want him to have this kind of media attention ever again?', ">>{MC_Carty} : > Aren't there people that aren't worth the risk of trying to redeem? No, there are those. But redemption could always be a possibility depending on what you'd count toward redemption. Prioritization is just something you'd have to take into account given the situation. But outright saying that no one can be or is deplorable is just plain wrong.", '>>{theRealRedherring} : wow, two multi-syllable words that dont mean the same thing!', '>>{WhenIm5ixtyFour} : >Seeing someone or some group of people as deplorable or irredeemable is the starting point for coercing them and can lead to initiating violence against them. We have the death penalty exactly because we consider some people irredeemable. Was this guy born yesterday?']]

The "loop hole" is that unlicensed private owners can buy and sell guns without having to be a licensed firearms dealer.

And that was her problem: She campaigned heavily in states that were going to vote for her anyway, ignoring important states that could go either way.

Yes, the big money was behind her, not him. >A relic of a system elected him. It\'s not like that was a rigged game. They both played by the exact same rules. Her strategists knew the system just as much as Trump\'s. She probably knew the system better than Trump, having been in politics for most of her life. Yet she ignored it, pandering to those who were already on her side, not trying to win over critical people in critical places, and even alienating them. She displayed a horrible strategy, horrible management.

And that was her problem: She campaigned heavily in states that were going to vote for her anyway, ignoring important states that could go either way.

Yet she ignored it, pandering to those who were already on her side, not trying to win over critical people in critical places, and even alienating them. She displayed a horrible strategy, horrible management. She deserved to lose by playing the game so badly. >ask if they support closing the gun Show loopholes You see, here\'s a good example of why polls aren\'t that great. There is no such thing as a gun show loophole. That is a derogatory political term crafted by the anti-gun people, and thus any poll that uses it is push-pollling instead of trying to gain accurate insight into opinions.

Its worked very well historically for you.', '>>{Numbchicken} : Economic crisis? The economic crisis that is coming is going to be terrible if free trade gets squashed in this country. Products are affordable here, and thats because producing goods in other countries is cheaper. Bernie supporters and trump supporters might love the anti free trade rhetoric but their solution to surging product prices will be vastly different. Republicans and Trump would probably advocate for getting rid of environmental regulations and other regulations that make the production costs high. Bernie isnt going to accept that. Bernies supporters might propose raising the minimum wage, and we can already imagine what the response to that will be from the republicans. You can be employed, but if you cant afford to purchase products, or consumption rates are at a fraction of what they used to be, that isnt going to be good for the economy. Further, trumps party in congress is funded by people who are rich from free trade, so i dont think they will just let their funding dry up, because they cant run a trump style campaign due to the vastly different nature of their elections. The actual crisis is that people want to act like they can bring jobs back here rather than passing policy that retrains people who lost from free trade agreements. Currently, America spends a paltry 0.1% of its GDP, one-sixth of the rich-country average, on policies to retrain workers and help them find new jobs. We have a program called the “trade-adjustment assistance” (TAA), a program dating from 1962 and beefed up after the signing of NAFTA. If the Department of Labour accepts a petition for TAA, workers get an extension to their unemployment-insurance payments. For most of the 2000s, the extension lasted six months. In addition, beneficiaries can enroll in training program; if they do, they receive more payments while they train. Workers over 50 also get a kind of wage insurance which pays up to $12,000 over two years to compensate them for starting a new job on lower pay. by 2007 even for those workers who did qualify for TAA, support was woefully inadequate. Only about a third entered training program, perhaps because the budget was so low: just $1,700 per displaced worker in 2007. $1,700 per displaced worker in 2007. The wage-insurance scheme was better than nothing, but was not enough to make up for wage losses which frequently exceeded 20%. This program is the stepping stone to getting these people back into employment. This should be the focus, how to build off of this program, not bringing back jobs that will screw the consumer, and the owners of business.', ">>{Plugawy_Nedznik} : The thing with the voiceless minority is that it's a minority.", ">>{ameoba} : ...or they're just going to give up on anyone ever helping them economically & become purely social issues voters.", ">>{CadetPeepers} : > i have no idea if someone else even could.

Another thing worth noting, now that Republicans have control of every branch of government in our country, every misstep is going to be on them.

You keep right on thinking that voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania are focused on progressive values over the economy. Its worked very well historically for you.', '>>{Numbchicken} : Economic crisis? The economic crisis that is coming is going to be terrible if free trade gets squashed in this country. Products are affordable here, and thats because producing goods in other countries is cheaper. Bernie supporters and trump supporters might love the anti free trade rhetoric but their solution to surging product prices will be vastly different. Republicans and Trump would probably advocate for getting rid of environmental regulations and other regulations that make the production costs high. Bernie isnt going to accept that. Bernies supporters might propose raising the minimum wage, and we can already imagine what the response to that will be from the republicans. You can be employed, but if you cant afford to purchase products, or consumption rates are at a fraction of what they used to be, that isnt going to be good for the economy. Further, trumps party in congress is funded by people who are rich from free trade, so i dont think they will just let their funding dry up, because they cant run a trump style campaign due to the vastly different nature of their elections. The actual crisis is that people want to act like they can bring jobs back here rather than passing policy that retrains people who lost from free trade agreements. Currently, America spends a paltry 0.1% of its GDP, one-sixth of the rich-country average, on policies to retrain workers and help them find new jobs. We have a program called the “trade-adjustment assistance” (TAA), a program dating from 1962 and beefed up after the signing of NAFTA. If the Department of Labour accepts a petition for TAA, workers get an extension to their unemployment-insurance payments. For most of the 2000s, the extension lasted six months. In addition, beneficiaries can enroll in training program; if they do, they receive more payments while they train. Workers over 50 also get a kind of wage insurance which pays up to $12,000 over two years to compensate them for starting a new job on lower pay. by 2007 even for those workers who did qualify for TAA, support was woefully inadequate. Only about a third entered training program, perhaps because the budget was so low: just $1,700 per displaced worker in 2007. $1,700 per displaced worker in 2007. The wage-insurance scheme was better than nothing, but was not enough to make up for wage losses which frequently exceeded 20%. This program is the stepping stone to getting these people back into employment. This should be the focus, how to build off of this program, not bringing back jobs that will screw the consumer, and the owners of business.', ">>{Plugawy_Nedznik} : The thing with the voiceless minority is that it's a minority.", ">>{ameoba} : ...or they're just going to give up on anyone ever helping them economically & become purely social issues voters.", ">>{CadetPeepers} : > i have no idea if someone else even could.

I think the strike was terribly coordinated and poorly thought out, but it's a decent idea. Maybe there was a time before Russia got involved that this was a good idea, but that time is gone. At this point I think US strikes against Assad are a terrible idea. The problem is that Russia is so closely tied with the Assad regime now that you can't really hit Assad anywhere without also hitting Russian assets on the ground. Consequently, any military strikes at Assad would first issue a warning to Russia for them to get their assets out of the way. Except any warnings given to Russia are guaranteed to be immediately passed onto Assad himself, which means Assad will always have ample time to get *his* assets out of the target sites, evacuate personnel and move valuable equipment. Bottom line is that the mandatory communication required to avoid war with Russia also eliminates the usefulness and effectiveness of any military action against Assad. This is the fundamental reason why Assad cannot really be taken out of power, or even damaged in any meaningful way, without Russia's international cooperation. Russia will have to want Assad gone for Assad to be gone. That's just the unfortunate reality we have to plan around in Syria. This is also why I'm actually a proponent of abandoning Syria completely in the military sense and just allowing Russia to do whatever the fuck it wants there. If they want to prop up Assad so badly, let them do it. Any war crimes committed by Assad will be on Russia's ledger at the international stage. Plus ISIS is still there fighting against Assad. If we pull out, they become Russia's problem. And the more Russia continues to back ISIS' principal enemy, the more Russia will find itself in ISIS' terror crosshairs.

I think the strike was terribly coordinated and poorly thought out, but it's a decent idea. Maybe there was a time before Russia got involved that this was a good idea, but that time is gone. At this point I think US strikes against Assad are a terrible idea. The problem is that Russia is so closely tied with the Assad regime now that you can't really hit Assad anywhere without also hitting Russian assets on the ground. Consequently, any military strikes at Assad would first issue a warning to Russia for them to get their assets out of the way. Except any warnings given to Russia are guaranteed to be immediately passed onto Assad himself, which means Assad will always have ample time to get *his* assets out of the target sites, evacuate personnel and move valuable equipment. Bottom line is that the mandatory communication required to avoid war with Russia also eliminates the usefulness and effectiveness of any military action against Assad. This is the fundamental reason why Assad cannot really be taken out of power, or even damaged in any meaningful way, without Russia's international cooperation. Russia will have to want Assad gone for Assad to be gone. That's just the unfortunate reality we have to plan around in Syria. This is also why I'm actually a proponent of abandoning Syria completely in the military sense and just allowing Russia to do whatever the fuck it wants there. If they want to prop up Assad so badly, let them do it. Any war crimes committed by Assad will be on Russia's ledger at the international stage. Plus ISIS is still there fighting against Assad. If we pull out, they become Russia's problem. And the more Russia continues to back ISIS' principal enemy, the more Russia will find itself in ISIS' terror crosshairs. They will be the primary targets of ISIS backed terror activity, not us. Of course I'm not suggesting we abandon the Syrian *people*. I'm all for providing them humanitarian assistance and granting them asylum. But I think maybe it's prudent for everyone, including the Syrian people, for the Western world to make Syria Russia's problem, and Russia's only. That way, some years down the line when Russia has suffered enough in Syria, they will be the ones seeking out Western help in solving the Syria crisis rather than the West trying to bring Russia to the table. Because otherwise, we're really just playing right into Putin's hand by continuing to be involved in Syria.", ">>{ShadowPOTUSBannon} : The media are like cats.

That\'s like Fox News saying their unnamed source in the FBI told them ____. 2) There are so many assumptions and baseless claims here. They didn\'t point out who this hacker is but that they know he/she has ties to the government. So somehow they know who the hacker is and also know for a fact that this hacker is responsible for giving wikileaks its information? But they also aren\'t saying who it is? And are also confident in asserting the motivation for that hacking? All the while Wikileaks itself has come out and said that their source wasn\'t russia and wasn\'t even necessarily a hacking. It\'s all smoke and mirrors. Notice how these sources always make a point to say that russia hacked them but then expect the reader/listener to jump to the conclusion themselves that russia also gave that information to wikileaks without any proof and without having to explicitly say that themselves. Why is that so consistent? Because they don\'t actually have proof of that but want people to believe it. What is probably true is that russia has hacked them (pretty much any idiot could have gotten their hands on hillary\'s server and podesta\'s poorly protected emails). But you can be sure that the US also hacks every other country out there themselves. That is not proof of an intention to influence elections.

The article is saying that "people" with ties to the russian government gave hacked emails to wikileaks. Even if that is true, that\'s not someone being a traitor if they aren\'t even american. Make note of the following: 1) There is no accountability here. NYT quoting an unnamed intelligence official isn\'t reliable. That\'s like Fox News saying their unnamed source in the FBI told them ____. 2) There are so many assumptions and baseless claims here. They didn\'t point out who this hacker is but that they know he/she has ties to the government. So somehow they know who the hacker is and also know for a fact that this hacker is responsible for giving wikileaks its information? But they also aren\'t saying who it is? And are also confident in asserting the motivation for that hacking? All the while Wikileaks itself has come out and said that their source wasn\'t russia and wasn\'t even necessarily a hacking. It\'s all smoke and mirrors. Notice how these sources always make a point to say that russia hacked them but then expect the reader/listener to jump to the conclusion themselves that russia also gave that information to wikileaks without any proof and without having to explicitly say that themselves. Why is that so consistent? Because they don\'t actually have proof of that but want people to believe it. What is probably true is that russia has hacked them (pretty much any idiot could have gotten their hands on hillary\'s server and podesta\'s poorly protected emails). But you can be sure that the US also hacks every other country out there themselves. That is not proof of an intention to influence elections.

This is also coming from the same judge that extended the deadline and forced the FL legislature to allow absentee voters to fix signatures if they mismatched, so he has been very sympathetic to voter access. Suffice to say, a lot of things aren't rational in our elections. We shouldn't even have registration deadlines to begin with.", '>>{malpais} : Right.

In the interest of counting every vote can we get these people permission to cast a provisional ballot until their registration clears?"']]

Doesn't actually affect speeds, it's just a GUI thing. I would go back if there was a jailbreak or something more enticing than just fireworks in iMessage. iMessage is important to me because of the picture sending quality. All other messages in SMS and WhatsApp or whatever are all downsized in quality which kind of ruins the whole picture taking experience and purpose. iMessage will compress if necessary but more than often, it won't. And sweet baby Jesus if Google doesn't know how to help out its home base. Google hangouts blows dick, messenger is the same, messages is the same, I use Textra now.

I've never had to chase down an update because the carrier or the manufacturer decided to stop supporting the hardware. In some ways, the iPhone isn't as exciting or 'fresh' as Android: the widget system sucks (IMO), it takes longer for new hardware functionality to be opened up to developers, the lack of customization takes away from the ease of use at times.

[['>>{tonybessette} : Who has gone back and forth, from Android to iPhone, and back....then finally landing with iPhone?', ">>{kol13190} : Left iPhone for Android. I got tired of jaikbreaking and then waiting for a jailbreak and etc. Android is pretty nice when its on a good phone. Only minor things I miss are iMessage and the camera. The build quality is decent compared to many Android flagships. I bought the HTC 10 for the ability to root and flash ROMs and then for the build quality. Unfortunately the HTC 10 suffers from a WiFi issue where it looks like it keeps getting in range and out of range to the WiFi router despite standing next to it. Doesn't actually affect speeds, it's just a GUI thing. I would go back if there was a jailbreak or something more enticing than just fireworks in iMessage. iMessage is important to me because of the picture sending quality. All other messages in SMS and WhatsApp or whatever are all downsized in quality which kind of ruins the whole picture taking experience and purpose. iMessage will compress if necessary but more than often, it won't. And sweet baby Jesus if Google doesn't know how to help out its home base. Google hangouts blows dick, messenger is the same, messages is the same, I use Textra now. But it feels like Google keeps giving all the updates, new programs, beta apps. And etc are going to iOS rather than android. Ridiculous. If youre reading all this and getting the idea I hate Android, that's wrong. I miss apple for its ability to make home run products and in house software that really functions well, however I don't enjoy being locked down to not do whatever I want. I might switch back whenever they get true NFC, QC 3.0, and a microSD slot.", ">>{professionaldiy} : I use both. S6 Edge+ and a 6+ depending on my mood. There are things that iOS does well and things Android does well. Android is only usable in my opinion on a flagship device running the latest build. I wish i could take the best of both worlds and put them in a phone. If iOS would let me as a grown adult put my icons where I want I'd love it. Let me set default apps too. Oh and on screen widgets and I'd probably stay with iOS most of the time. If Android could pick up iOS smoothness that would be perfect too. No matter what phone or os you use on Android, they'll always be frame drops. Drives me nuts. Plus, it takes so long to get updates.", ">>{BigCalhoun} : Stability and consistency. I was a staunch Android supporter. Transitioning from the old Windows CE/Windows Phone devices, everything about Android OS and the hardware was exciting. After a while, though, it became too much like the old Windows platforms. There were too many bugs to be chased down, updates were inconsistent, and features felt half-baked at times. I found myself having to maintain my phone, just like when I used Windows phones: pruning messages, deleting app data, soft-resets to clear RAM and caches, hard resets to chase down application issues, restarting core applications... It's cliche, but the iOS (mostly) just works. I've never missed a phone call because the dialer app stopped working. I've never had an application installed that caused the overall performance of my device to deteriorate. I've never had to chase down an update because the carrier or the manufacturer decided to stop supporting the hardware. In some ways, the iPhone isn't as exciting or 'fresh' as Android: the widget system sucks (IMO), it takes longer for new hardware functionality to be opened up to developers, the lack of customization takes away from the ease of use at times. By and large, though, the user experience is consistent from one device and iOS version pair to the next. I still keep up with Android happenings cause I'm always willing to go back. However, I have friends that have newer Android devices that still experience some of the same issues I did (and mentioned above) years ago.", ">>{simplycass} : Kinda the reverse here. I've been an iOS user since getting an iPod touch. My parents, who currently use flip phones, are seriously considering getting a Nexus 5X to use on Google Fi since it can be used when they travel abroad.

Apple got iMessage, I got another 4 and since iOS5 I've not looked back. When I use Android it's as a companion device. Android is ram hungry and I've had a lot of hardware issues with Moto, HTC and Samung. I've had 2 iPhones a 4 (replaced because it was slow), and an iPhone 5 (will be replaced when it dies or I get sick of the 16GB limit)", ">>{professionaldiy} : Nah. I have an iPad air 2 that is jailbroken but it's not worth waiting and/or staying on an old os just to preserve the break. A lot of tweaks are unstable and present security issues too.", ">>{haochiah} : I was always inbetween the two, until I realised on the iPhone, it is just so smoother. Hardware lag will come with all phones/apps, but the OS itself is just so much better. Customization can be sacrificed for a phone that just works. Android is alot more customisable, but guess what - you're gonna have to keep configuring that, and something will crash, or break.", ">>{ingenioutor} : I did this. After using iPhone 4S. I went to one of the droids back then. I used it for three months and went back to the 4S. Around the time 5 came out I bought a nexus and returned it to get a 5. I then went on to get the 5S and the 6. I sold the 6 early to optimize my selling price before the launch of 6S. I had to use nexus 5 for three months. I loved marshmallow. But I had to come back. iPhone and iOS are two very polished products. I still felt android was rough at the edges. It's customizable but that's about it. With all the skins available and ROMs it's a customizers dream but that takes a lot of time. I know my iPhone can consistently take good photographs while never really losing its UI smoothness and speed. It just works. The apps are beautiful. They work like they should. They get way better support than android apps. iPhones are honestly devices that you pull out of the box and they are ready to go.

A: I don\'t know if we have an "official" stance, but I can tell you my personal stance at this point. According to the most recent review of vaccination policies across the globe, mandatory vaccination that doesn\'t allow for medical exemptions is practically unheard of. In most countries, people trust their regulatory agencies and have very high rates of vaccination through voluntary programs. In the US, however, regulatory agencies are routinely packed with corporate lobbyists and CEOs. So the foxes are guarding the chicken coop as usual in the US. So who wouldn\'t be skeptical? I think dropping vaccinations rates that can and must be fixed in order to get at the vaccination issue: the widespread distrust of the medical-indsutrial complex. Vaccines in general have made a huge contribution to public health. Reducing or eliminating devastating diseases like small pox and polio. In Canada, where I happen to have some numbers, hundreds of annual death from measles and whooping cough were eliminated after vaccines were introduced. Still, vaccines should be treated like any medical procedure--each one needs to be tested and regulated by parties that do not have a financial interest in them. In an age when industry lobbyists and CEOs are routinely appointed to key regulatory positions through the notorious revolving door, its no wonder many Americans don\'t trust the FDA to be an unbiased source of sound advice. A Monsanto lobbyists and CEO like Michael Taylor, former high-ranking DEA official, should not decide what food is safe for you to eat. Same goes for vaccines and pharmaceuticals. We need to take the corporate influence out of government so people will trust our health authorities, and the rest of the government for that matter. End the revolving door. Appoint qualified professionals without a financial interest in the product being regulated. Create public funding of elections to stop the buying of elections by corporations and the super-rich. For homeopathy, just because something is untested doesn\'t mean it\'s safe. By the same token, being "tested" and "reviewed" by agencies tied to big pharma and the chemical industry is also problematic. There\'s a lot of snake-oil in this system. We need research and licensing boards that are protected from conflicts of interest. They should not be limited by arbitrary definitions of what is "natural" or not.', '>>{c4l1k0} : Australia Pushes for TPP Without U.S. After Trump Exits Deal', ">>{throwthetrash16} : Seeing as the TPP itself states that it need the GDP worth of 85% of proposed signatories to actually go ahead and the US has 65% of that, it's dead in the water.

Saying he\'s not running against Clinton but he\'s running against the media. Blaming the media for being biased (yes, I do realize a bias exists... but I\'ve seen it go both ways.) And now whenever I see comments or discussions between Trump supporters & Clinton supporters, those for Trump immediately discredit any information as "stupid liberal media bias," even if it\'s been proven true. In the speech he gave yesterday (last night?) he talked about the media taking things he says and either taking them out of context or devoting several days to dissecting every single syllable of what he\'s said. Then he said something like "Imagine if the media took all that energy and instead focused on the things that matter that are happening around our country? Take them to our borders, etc." Considering so many of his supporters praise him for being a smart businessman (and I don\'t doubt that he is or can be), claim that all the negatives about his history (bankruptcies, not paying laborers, etc.) were just wise business moves on his part, the way it\'s looking to me is that he\'s just making very calculated moves, laying the foundation for something other than becoming the next President. He\'s setting the stage to make so many people reject mainstream media by painting them all as biased against telling the truth or not focusing on the real issues in our country or around the world so that when he, Ailes & Bannon go on to form Trump News Channel (or whatever) they will already have a huge following and will make the claim that their news network is the only one you can trust.

Saying he\'s not running against Clinton but he\'s running against the media. Blaming the media for being biased (yes, I do realize a bias exists... but I\'ve seen it go both ways.) And now whenever I see comments or discussions between Trump supporters & Clinton supporters, those for Trump immediately discredit any information as "stupid liberal media bias," even if it\'s been proven true. In the speech he gave yesterday (last night?) he talked about the media taking things he says and either taking them out of context or devoting several days to dissecting every single syllable of what he\'s said. Then he said something like "Imagine if the media took all that energy and instead focused on the things that matter that are happening around our country? Take them to our borders, etc." Considering so many of his supporters praise him for being a smart businessman (and I don\'t doubt that he is or can be), claim that all the negatives about his history (bankruptcies, not paying laborers, etc.) were just wise business moves on his part, the way it\'s looking to me is that he\'s just making very calculated moves, laying the foundation for something other than becoming the next President. He\'s setting the stage to make so many people reject mainstream media by painting them all as biased against telling the truth or not focusing on the real issues in our country or around the world so that when he, Ailes & Bannon go on to form Trump News Channel (or whatever) they will already have a huge following and will make the claim that their news network is the only one you can trust. And considering the beliefs & backgrounds of those 3 guys (and things they\'ve said or done), it seems like it would definitely be more for those that believe every conspiracy theory they want to throw your way. Or those that have a more alt-right ideology. But heck, I could be totally wrong. Just how it looks from the outside.', ">>{DAllenJ} : He'll try, but I don't know...

A: I don\'t know if we have an "official" stance, but I can tell you my personal stance at this point. According to the most recent review of vaccination policies across the globe, mandatory vaccination that doesn\'t allow for medical exemptions is practically unheard of. In most countries, people trust their regulatory agencies and have very high rates of vaccination through voluntary programs. In the US, however, regulatory agencies are routinely packed with corporate lobbyists and CEOs. So the foxes are guarding the chicken coop as usual in the US. So who wouldn\'t be skeptical? I think dropping vaccinations rates that can and must be fixed in order to get at the vaccination issue: the widespread distrust of the medical-indsutrial complex. Vaccines in general have made a huge contribution to public health. Reducing or eliminating devastating diseases like small pox and polio. In Canada, where I happen to have some numbers, hundreds of annual death from measles and whooping cough were eliminated after vaccines were introduced. Still, vaccines should be treated like any medical procedure--each one needs to be tested and regulated by parties that do not have a financial interest in them. In an age when industry lobbyists and CEOs are routinely appointed to key regulatory positions through the notorious revolving door, its no wonder many Americans don\'t trust the FDA to be an unbiased source of sound advice. A Monsanto lobbyists and CEO like Michael Taylor, former high-ranking DEA official, should not decide what food is safe for you to eat. Same goes for vaccines and pharmaceuticals. We need to take the corporate influence out of government so people will trust our health authorities, and the rest of the government for that matter. End the revolving door. Appoint qualified professionals without a financial interest in the product being regulated. Create public funding of elections to stop the buying of elections by corporations and the super-rich. For homeopathy, just because something is untested doesn\'t mean it\'s safe. By the same token, being "tested" and "reviewed" by agencies tied to big pharma and the chemical industry is also problematic. There\'s a lot of snake-oil in this system. We need research and licensing boards that are protected from conflicts of interest. They should not be limited by arbitrary definitions of what is "natural" or not.', ">>{aglaeasfather} : Summary: >What is your campaign's official stance on vaccines I'm going to dodge this question and point out that people don't like the government. Oh, and Monsanto is bad because GMOs or whatever. >and homeopathic medicine? Again, I'm not going to take a hard stance on this but some homeopathic treatments might be bad (we don't know...?) and just because something has passed FDA approval doesn't mean its safe (**!!!**). I'm also going to point out that I either don't know about, or purposefully are ignoring, the entire peer review process in academic medicine and research. Overall, a severely lackluster statement from someone running for president.", ">>{coolepairc} : I'm not a spokesperson for the Green party or even a member (as yet) and Dr Stein as its presumptive nominee is in the best position to present its policies. I think her statement is spot on and speaks to the root causes of many of our public health problems in the US. What is your candidate's stances on said issues?", ">>{aglaeasfather} : I'm not arguing that she's better or worse than other candidates, but I am arguing that these views are incompatible with being taken seriously as a presidential candidate.

Well, next to anti-vaxxers..", ">>{coolepairc} : I live in N Europe and TTIP is being defeated in large measure as a rejection of GMO-trace American agricultural products.

Attacking a local Union leader is fucking ridiculous, dangerous, and pathetic.", '>>{DustyFalmouth} : Yeah, all the guy had to do was give 7mil in tax breaks in exchange for saving 40% of the jobs. Give that job to someone who knows how to make a deal, like one educated at Trump U.', '>>{schlitz91} : Damn Unions and their inability to offer state tax breaks. Those fools!', ">>{dxtboxer} : You've heard of seeing the tree but not the forest, right? What you're doing is basically seeing the leaf on the branch on the trunk on the tree and not the forest.", ">>{Plisskens_snake} : Trump got what he wanted out of those workers and now he's running out on the deal. Too bad for those 550 people. Their experience is trump's model for his business deals. First he tells them not one job will be lost and then he negotiates those poor people into the unemployment line and declares victory.", '>>{-Mountain-King-} : Apparently, those jobs are each worth under $9000 on average. If one of those workers is thinking about getting into trouble costing more than that, they can say "more than my job\'s worth" and have evidence to back it up.', '>>{Juli87} : Seriously. Why is no one talking about this?', '>>{WhiteBoythatCantJump} : Its hard to do a good job when the PEOTUS doesnt let you into the negotiations.', ">>{topamine2} : That's not how it works. How have you been by the way? I haven't heard from you since Hillary lost. You were so sure that she was going to win.", ">>{topamine2} : So? You're saying we should have just thrown away the 1400 jobs without a fight?", ">>{topamine2} : It is childish that he uses twitter to send angry messages, but you're still not answering my question.", ">>{topamine2} : He said 1000, but it was actually 800. It's really not that much of a difference.", ">>{topamine2} : Pence wouldn't have saved them if Trump didn't tell him to.", ">>{-Mountain-King-} : It's a joke, dude. It's not supposed to be a representation of reality. And yeah, it was pretty flabberghasting to see Trump win. I've been around though. Not quite as much on r/politics, but around.", ">>{topamine2} : Obviously I wouldn't expect him to make deals with individual companies. But you have to understand that he's not president yet. His power is limited. The fact that he was even able to save 1000 jobs is a statement in itself.", ">>{topamine2} : I mean, they expected to lose all 1400 jobs, isn't it good news that Trump was able to save 800 of them? Even if 500 of the jobs were union ones. I don't recall Trump saying he was going to save every Carrier job.", '>>{Shr3kk_Wpg} : Yes, we get it. People who side with Trump are great and anyone who says something negative is a failure, a terrible person, bad at their job, etc. Does anyone believe Trump can unite America with this "winning temperment" of his?', '>>{eohorp} : > Can I look forward to 4 years of "well it would have been worse with Clinton" every time Trump does something stupid? I\'m betting on at least 2', '>>{spookbeard} : It\'s not like it was free and it\'s not like he could have done it without Pence And once again the point is he lied about the numbers. The numbers were one thing and he said they were a different thing. That\'s the issue in question here. I don\'t want to hear about what the president elect and eventually president could have done if not for this, that, and the other. "Would have" "could have" "should have" means nothing. The only things that matter are what he intends to do and what he actually does. And he needs to avoid lying and exaggerating about what he has done.', '>>{brasswirebrush} : 20% is a lot. Also, he should really know the numbers he supposedly negotiated. It just shows just how weak and thin-skinned he is when he goes on twitter and lashes out at every random person who says something critical of him on TV.', '>>{I_politics} : My question was how do you justify Trump getting into a Twitter war with anyone that criticizes him? How do you make that normal in your head? How do you spin it in your head that that is OK? That that is acceptable? Simply say it is childish and to move on? That seems to be what you are suggesting.', '>>{I_politics} : If you are asking me if Trump was lying, Hell yes! Every time that man opens his mouth a lie comes out.', ">>{prisoner42} : Freedom of speech! Besides it's not his fault America voted for an internet troll to be President. But he should be sued for inciting hate and endangering people.", ">>{spookbeard} : Well we threw almost half of them away. And Trump worrying about 800 jobs at Carrier is like the president of Wal-mart going into one specific store and paying someone to not steal $50 in merchandise just to brag about the $100 theft he prevented. Meanwhile there's millions in theft every month nationwide. It's micromanaging and (I never thought I'd say this...God help us all...) Sarah Palin made some really good points (I threw up in my mouth just now) about it in her op-ed last week. You should find it and read it.", '>>{VoiceOfRealson} : Who would have guessed just a year ago that the position of the next Republican president is that Union leaders are indeed Job creators.', '>>{lt_skittles} : Freedom of speech does not apply to the Internet. When you sign up for a website you agree to their terms of use.', '>>{CDchrysalis} : I thought his original deal was to penalize companies that sent jobs elsewhere, not incentivize them to stay. That\'s a horrible precedent to set, because it opens up the door for other companies to "claim" they\'ll send jobs out - just so they can get that fat fat cash.', '>>{CDchrysalis} : We should have penalized the shit out of them. Not thrown money at them.', ">>{dxtboxer} : I don't want the President meeting and negotiating with companies over 1400 jobs. I want him or her in Washington pushing for economic and labor policies that will impact 14k, 140k, 1.4mil Americans and their jobs. He's on a victory tour now; it's clear he only focuses on petty shit for the headlines because the actual work of governing is far above his abilities."]]

Terrorism in these countries, historically, has only been allowed to thrive once the government is destabilized. There was not a real terrorist presence in Libya prior to the fall of Qaddafi. Terrorism became an issue in this country after he was killed and the government became destabilized, and was thus unable to quell dissenters. The conflict in Yemen is a Sunni-Shia conflict, where Saudi Arabia is trying to control who wins in the Yemen civil war. Saudi Arabia (Sunni run) is carrying out attacks with the aid of the US against the Houthis, who are Shia. The Syrian conflict does have large ISIS involvement, but the US wants to do more than take out ISIS in Syria, they also want to destroy the Syrian government, who is backed by Russia.

She got more votes than Sanders, which is why she was our nominee. I don\'t think that the DNC applied any pressure to the scales. I think that they ought to have done what they could, however, and I think a generic Democrat would have fared better than Clinton. I don\'t believe that Benghazi et al was the atrocitypile that the GOP made it out to be, but it was obvious from the beginning that these things were going to come into play, and it was risky as hell to do nothing to impede Clinton in the face of that. Just to be clear, I don\'t think that Sander was our great fiery messiah. I think that the Democrats would have stood a better chance in keeping the Midwest with Bernie at the helm, but ultimately, as I said above, I think that the biggest issue was that the GOP had successfully dragged Clinton through the mud. Her campaign was angling for The Beast to win GOP nomination. They thought that her odds were best against that sorry excuse for a sack of rotten tangerines (or against Ben Carson). I don\'t like the electoral college. [This article](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/why-hillary-clinton-lost/507704/) does a fair job of discussing some of the issues that I had with the Clinton campaign. I think that all of the things that you mentioned are valid, but I think that it was extraordinarily foolish for Clinton to not realize that they would apply, with the exception of the Russian propagandists bit, and *probably* Trump\'s ability to lie without repercussions. Excepting those two things, these were all matters that were either known ahead of time or (in the case of e.g. Comey\'s letter) related to things that were known ahead of time. It has to suck to be dragged through the mud to the point that you have to give up your dreams of being POTUS, to reduce the likelihood that things will go wrong. She ought to have done it, though. This was bigger than her, it was bigger than anyone who supported her, and yes, there were other things that got in the way and also proved to be stumbling blocks in their own right, but she could have known from the beginning that this was a risky bet and that she wasn\'t the best chance that the Democrats had to offer, and she ought to have passed on this.

She got more votes than Sanders, which is why she was our nominee. I don\'t think that the DNC applied any pressure to the scales. I think that they ought to have done what they could, however, and I think a generic Democrat would have fared better than Clinton. I don\'t believe that Benghazi et al was the atrocitypile that the GOP made it out to be, but it was obvious from the beginning that these things were going to come into play, and it was risky as hell to do nothing to impede Clinton in the face of that. Just to be clear, I don\'t think that Sander was our great fiery messiah. I think that the Democrats would have stood a better chance in keeping the Midwest with Bernie at the helm, but ultimately, as I said above, I think that the biggest issue was that the GOP had successfully dragged Clinton through the mud. Her campaign was angling for The Beast to win GOP nomination. They thought that her odds were best against that sorry excuse for a sack of rotten tangerines (or against Ben Carson). I don\'t like the electoral college. [This article](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/why-hillary-clinton-lost/507704/) does a fair job of discussing some of the issues that I had with the Clinton campaign. I think that all of the things that you mentioned are valid, but I think that it was extraordinarily foolish for Clinton to not realize that they would apply, with the exception of the Russian propagandists bit, and *probably* Trump\'s ability to lie without repercussions. Excepting those two things, these were all matters that were either known ahead of time or (in the case of e.g. Comey\'s letter) related to things that were known ahead of time. It has to suck to be dragged through the mud to the point that you have to give up your dreams of being POTUS, to reduce the likelihood that things will go wrong. She ought to have done it, though. This was bigger than her, it was bigger than anyone who supported her, and yes, there were other things that got in the way and also proved to be stumbling blocks in their own right, but she could have known from the beginning that this was a risky bet and that she wasn\'t the best chance that the Democrats had to offer, and she ought to have passed on this.

Terrorism in these countries, historically, has only been allowed to thrive once the government is destabilized. There was not a real terrorist presence in Libya prior to the fall of Qaddafi. Terrorism became an issue in this country after he was killed and the government became destabilized, and was thus unable to quell dissenters. The conflict in Yemen is a Sunni-Shia conflict, where Saudi Arabia is trying to control who wins in the Yemen civil war. Saudi Arabia (Sunni run) is carrying out attacks with the aid of the US against the Houthis, who are Shia. The Syrian conflict does have large ISIS involvement, but the US wants to do more than take out ISIS in Syria, they also want to destroy the Syrian government, who is backed by Russia. This is similar to the Saudi-Yemen conflict in a way. We are trying to control who wins in the civil war in Syria, but we don't want the government nor ISIS to be victors. We want to destroy both to install a more malleable government."]]

She was a xenophobe of the highest order, with comments like The people the Republicans should reach out to are the white votes, the white voters who didn’t vote in the last election.

Not to mention her opinions on the right to marriage equality with comments like "The gay marriage goal is to wipe out the Christian religion." By the way, her son is gay...which she thought was a direct attack on her. Her rhetoric directly contributed to protestors harassing women outside of Planned Parenthood, and some would say she is even indirectly responsible for abortion clinic bombings. Her other opinions on feminism... well, how about I just copy and paste some quotes: Schlafly told Time magazine in 1978, "I have cancelled speeches whenever my husband thought that I had been away from home too much." In March 2007, Schlafly said in a speech at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don\'t think you can call it rape." In a March 30, 2006, interview, Schlafly attributed improvement in women\'s lives during the last decades of the 20th century to labor-saving devices such as the indoor clothes dryer and disposable diapers. She called Roe v. Wade "the worst decision in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court" and said that it "is responsible for the killing of millions of unborn babies". In 2007, while working to defeat a new version of the Equal Rights Amendment, she warned it would force courts to approve same-sex marriages and deny Social Security benefits for housewives and widows.

This isn't some crazy 'Jews control the media' thing; just that the country has very astutely realized they needed to push that they were the good guys from the first day of doing shitty things and has implemented that message very well through the American media using lots of very well paid pundants with silver tongues and interest groups.", ">>{CouchMaster} : I'm listening to it live.

Fuck that. She was a walking caricature of social conservatism and her son Andrew created Conservapedia and the Conservative Bible Project. Nothing of value was lost. Oh, and women should have to register for the draft just the same as men. And laws should be sex-neutral, especially those in regards to sexual assault, rape, child abuse, and alimony and child support. It\'s only fair. Edit: And I\'m pretty sure that if someone like Germaine Greer or Gloria Steinem died tomorrow they wouldn\'t suddenly be "respecting" them just because they recently died.', '>>{seanosul} : She died a failure. In every state gay people can get married, not as civil partnerships, or gay marriage, they can just get married.', '>>{Simplicity3245} : This is the person directly responsible for killing the Equal Rights Amendment with tropes such as \'men in women\'s bathrooms.\' Basically her only argument was in the defense of traditional gender roles. She stood for military escalation during the cold war, opposing any kind of arms control negotiations. She was a xenophobe of the highest order, with comments like The people the Republicans should reach out to are the white votes, the white voters who didn’t vote in the last election. The propagandists are leading us down the wrong path," she said. "There’s not any evidence at all that these Hispanics coming in from Mexico will vote Republican." Not to mention her opinions on the right to marriage equality with comments like "The gay marriage goal is to wipe out the Christian religion." By the way, her son is gay...which she thought was a direct attack on her. Her rhetoric directly contributed to protestors harassing women outside of Planned Parenthood, and some would say she is even indirectly responsible for abortion clinic bombings. Her other opinions on feminism... well, how about I just copy and paste some quotes: Schlafly told Time magazine in 1978, "I have cancelled speeches whenever my husband thought that I had been away from home too much." In March 2007, Schlafly said in a speech at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don\'t think you can call it rape." In a March 30, 2006, interview, Schlafly attributed improvement in women\'s lives during the last decades of the 20th century to labor-saving devices such as the indoor clothes dryer and disposable diapers. She called Roe v. Wade "the worst decision in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court" and said that it "is responsible for the killing of millions of unborn babies". In 2007, while working to defeat a new version of the Equal Rights Amendment, she warned it would force courts to approve same-sex marriages and deny Social Security benefits for housewives and widows. Phyllis Schlafly, you will not be missed, and the evil you have wrought over your lifetime will hopefully someday be fixed."

The social Conservative cancer she infected her party with made them unelectable as a Presidential party. That agenda she fought for is as dead and rotten as she is.

Imagine laying there, dying, knowing hope beats hate and all you stood for was hate. Imagine dying, with your family in court against you.', '>>{mattrabbit} : A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. -Planck I think this is pertinent to social progress as well.', ">>{fauxscot} : Glad to see her go.

Ha ha (Cue Ozzy Osbourne song)', ">>{TigerExpress} : It's looking more and more like a realigning election. Joe's Republican Party, should Trump win, will exist only in name. There will be a good bit of shuffling of policy positions between the parties as everyone tries to find their spot in the new landscape. Given the amount of overlap between the two parties currently, this would be a good thing. Too bad Sanders didn't win for the Democrats because that would ensure realignment regardless of who wins in November. If Clinton wins, expect the overlap between the parties to continue to increase."]]

Trump has always been in one team only. Team Trump. He doesn't give two shits about people. He cares about himself and his wealth. I think after the shock of winning the election, because realistically every evidence was pointing towards him setting himself up for a extreme-right tv station for self-profit, as they are the ones who tend to sit the most in front of the tv and provide viewer ratings. After winning the election, he has seen the amount of ass-kissing people are willing to do towards him now. His businesses can gain fast-track permits in foreign countries, and he can minimize taxes and create further loopholes on himself first and foremost that will allow him to garner a much better and larger wealth than what a alt-right republican tv station would. He will become more moderate in hopes of satiating the anger towards him, and allow him to continue to reap the money that his position allows him to grab.", ">>{Archlicht} : Pence is just more classical republican than Donald Trump is.

The meeting was led by Mike Huckabee, James Dobson, Tony Perkins, Franklin Graham, Jerry Falwell Jr., and more. The meeting went very well, and, from it, a leadership committee was established between the Evangelicals and Trump. The meeting also encouraged many Evangelical leaders to give their support to Trump. >The leadership committee formed as a standing advisory council that will advise Trump on evangelical matters during the election campaign, and thereafter during his presidency. >Trump is very supportive of the Christian position and seeks the support of the Christian community.

Your average American does not know who Steve Bannon is and they're not attentive enough to learn why he's important. Let me spell this out: Trump, himself, has fascist tendencies and a core who wants to live in a society free of non-white people. That's a bad combination, man.

But to secure the nomination, he worked out a deal with the evangelical leaders that in exchange for their support he would have them write his platform and he would support conservative justices.

The cult was destroyed after being outlawed in India centuries ago.', '>>{NonHomogenized} : I\'m aware of the origin of the word "thug". The point of the question was regarding the (mostly, white) people who were rioting at the time, but would normally be people considered "patriots", not "thugs". I was trying to see if their position regarding "thugs" was consistently about rioters, or whether they might have other motives. And "thug" is often, in modern day America, used as a racist dog whistle in reference to black people.', '>>{matt997} : I mean it in a way like its the preliminary stage of fascism.', '>>{lofi76} : Hahaha! Hilarious. The Trumpets are truly leaking.', ">>{Rubbydubbydoo} : Yeah ikr [this](https://youtu.be/__p1eR6KDXQ) is just so funny isn't it?", '>>{Atlas_Troll} : While I agree there are some asshats who use it as cover, a good chunk of people who are "anti-pc" see it as a way to stifle discussion around controversial topics. For example, looking at crime in inner cities and how income and culture affects it (for example, most people are aware of race in crime statistics but how does it corrolate to income? Do rich black men commit more crime than rich white men? I\'ve not seen any answer to that question). Another great example is with the possibility of gender dysphoria being a form of body dismorphia. But saying anything remotely bad about transgenders tends to earn you a poor label.', '>>{JennJayBee} : My answer would be, in all honesty, I don\'t know. I haven\'t looked at the statistics. That said... I\'m sure that when taking a look at said statistics various factors other than race would need to be considered. Income and quality of life is absolutely a factor in crime, and I haven\'t seen where anyone has argued otherwise. Hell, it\'s a motivator. The main thing I think that would be foolish to argue is that people at various income levels are more or less moral or more or less prone to crime in general. Having a certain amount of wealth at one\'s disposal is certainly going to make robbing a convenience store or car jacking less appealing, but you\'re still going to have plenty of white collar crimes and even violent crimes. And the drugs... The drugs only get more expensive and more plentiful when you have more money. Further, with the ability to afford a good lawyer,prosecution and conviction rates will also be lower for the wealthy. Even arrests would be lower in a higher end neighborhood, as bias from police officers might make them more likely to give a warning in the case of a disturbance, so you\'re even going to see fewer arrests. In other words... They\'re not necessarily less prone to crime, but they are more likely to get away with it if they commit one. There\'s a general perception that suburbs are "safe" places. That\'s why when news breaks of crime actually happening, it\'s usually something so horrific that they can\'t ignore, and people are understandably shocked.', '>>{Atlas_Troll} : I think the more interesting question to look it is if race matters when income is the same for crime rates. But as I said, I\'ve yet to see a study on it. But the problem is even a discussion like this is sometimes taboo. I and many others feel the possibility of "offending" someone just by asking questions is a tad silly', '>>{JennJayBee} : No, this discussion is not taboo, though the assertion that race alone is a factor in crime is utterly ridiculous. The reason such a study hasn\'t been done is likely because income inequality and standard of living is such that it\'s just not possible. As a result, many of these neighborhoods tend to segregate themselves. Then there are other factors that may or may not contribute, like family life, education, age, social status, etc. Police (in profiling) might still arrest a person of color for being "suspicious" even if they\'re just trying to get into their own house. But the color of someone\'s skin alone making them more or less likely to commit a crime? Forget politically incorrect... it\'s just silly.', ">>{Atlas_Troll} : That's what I'm getting at though. It does seem a tad silly, but we need to look at everything when trying to find answers to problems, even if only to disprove wrong assertions. Writing something off only because it sounds ridiculous is a great way to overlook things.", ">>{JennJayBee} : It doesn't SEEM just a tad silly. It is silly, and it's racist. Skin color has no more bearing on personality than eye color, and asserting as much would in fact be the very definition of racism. (See also, not okay to be an asshole.)"]

I think after the shock of winning the election, because realistically every evidence was pointing towards him setting himself up for a extreme-right tv station for self-profit, as they are the ones who tend to sit the most in front of the tv and provide viewer ratings. After winning the election, he has seen the amount of ass-kissing people are willing to do towards him now. His businesses can gain fast-track permits in foreign countries, and he can minimize taxes and create further loopholes on himself first and foremost that will allow him to garner a much better and larger wealth than what a alt-right republican tv station would.

If you\'ve got a problem with "being politically correct," then it\'s likely you\'re really complaining that it\'s not okay for you to be an asshat.', '>>{JennJayBee} : Hi there. (waves) You now know one evangelical who is voting for Hillary.', '>>{kosmokomeno} : An adjective is an adjective, these are "adults" talking about "name calling" when they don\'t seem to understand the difference between insults and unappealing qualities. But that\'s the culture today, everyone is equal, therefore everyone is the same. I\'d say it\'s ludicrous but that kind of name calling might offend the world, right?', '>>{rocker5969} : because he is in total agreement with him - lock, stock, and barrel.', '>>{GonzoNation} : Has Pence suddenly had a change of heart about David Duke?', ">>{Rubbydubbydoo} : Only one party is endorsing race riots right now and it isn't Republicans.", ">>{Rubbydubbydoo} : Hillary's response to the riot in Charlotte where a white veteran was beaten into a coma by a lynch mob while begging for mercy was to say it was white people's fault.", '>>{matt997} : yeah thats when the right wants that the left use pc speak. I have no problem leave behind all pc and call proto fascists by their name.', ">>{ugahammertime} : Protofascist isn't really the right word. Neofascist would be better.", '>>{lorrika62} : True there have been black people who have fought in every single war in America from the American Revolution through the present wars. A thug is not defined ed by race any gang doing criminal things can be defined as thugs. Actually the word thug is derived from thuggee and it meant a cult in India that killed people as sacrifices to the goddess Kali that they worshipped and they robbed them and then killed their victims. The cult was destroyed after being outlawed in India centuries ago.', '>>{NonHomogenized} : I\'m aware of the origin of the word "thug". The point of the question was regarding the (mostly, white) people who were rioting at the time, but would normally be people considered "patriots", not "thugs". I was trying to see if their position regarding "thugs" was consistently about rioters, or whether they might have other motives. And "thug" is often, in modern day America, used as a racist dog whistle in reference to black people.', '>>{matt997} : I mean it in a way like its the preliminary stage of fascism.', '>>{lofi76} : Hahaha! Hilarious. The Trumpets are truly leaking.', ">>{Rubbydubbydoo} : Yeah ikr [this](https://youtu.be/__p1eR6KDXQ) is just so funny isn't it?", '>>{Atlas_Troll} : While I agree there are some asshats who use it as cover, a good chunk of people who are "anti-pc" see it as a way to stifle discussion around controversial topics. For example, looking at crime in inner cities and how income and culture affects it (for example, most people are aware of race in crime statistics but how does it corrolate to income? Do rich black men commit more crime than rich white men? I\'ve not seen any answer to that question). Another great example is with the possibility of gender dysphoria being a form of body dismorphia. But saying anything remotely bad about transgenders tends to earn you a poor label.', '>>{JennJayBee} : My answer would be, in all honesty, I don\'t know. I haven\'t looked at the statistics. That said... I\'m sure that when taking a look at said statistics various factors other than race would need to be considered. Income and quality of life is absolutely a factor in crime, and I haven\'t seen where anyone has argued otherwise. Hell, it\'s a motivator. The main thing I think that would be foolish to argue is that people at various income levels are more or less moral or more or less prone to crime in general. Having a certain amount of wealth at one\'s disposal is certainly going to make robbing a convenience store or car jacking less appealing, but you\'re still going to have plenty of white collar crimes and even violent crimes. And the drugs... The drugs only get more expensive and more plentiful when you have more money. Further, with the ability to afford a good lawyer,prosecution and conviction rates will also be lower for the wealthy. Even arrests would be lower in a higher end neighborhood, as bias from police officers might make them more likely to give a warning in the case of a disturbance, so you\'re even going to see fewer arrests. In other words... They\'re not necessarily less prone to crime, but they are more likely to get away with it if they commit one. There\'s a general perception that suburbs are "safe" places. That\'s why when news breaks of crime actually happening, it\'s usually something so horrific that they can\'t ignore, and people are understandably shocked.', '>>{Atlas_Troll} : I think the more interesting question to look it is if race matters when income is the same for crime rates. But as I said, I\'ve yet to see a study on it. But the problem is even a discussion like this is sometimes taboo. I and many others feel the possibility of "offending" someone just by asking questions is a tad silly', '>>{JennJayBee} : No, this discussion is not taboo, though the assertion that race alone is a factor in crime is utterly ridiculous. The reason such a study hasn\'t been done is likely because income inequality and standard of living is such that it\'s just not possible. As a result, many of these neighborhoods tend to segregate themselves. Then there are other factors that may or may not contribute, like family life, education, age, social status, etc. Police (in profiling) might still arrest a person of color for being "suspicious" even if they\'re just trying to get into their own house. But the color of someone\'s skin alone making them more or less likely to commit a crime? Forget politically incorrect... it\'s just silly.', ">>{Atlas_Troll} : That's what I'm getting at though. It does seem a tad silly, but we need to look at everything when trying to find answers to problems, even if only to disprove wrong assertions. Writing something off only because it sounds ridiculous is a great way to overlook things.", ">>{JennJayBee} : It doesn't SEEM just a tad silly. It is silly, and it's racist. Skin color has no more bearing on personality than eye color, and asserting as much would in fact be the very definition of racism. (See also, not okay to be an asshole.)"], ['>>{alex878} : I have now broken the screen of my iPhone 6s twice. $200 later, I decided that I need to get a better phone case.

Putin failed to improve Russian economy, failed to modernize their army (Armata is just an overhyped project that Putin slapped together in 5 years from old Soviet designs and prototypes).

In the US, however, regulatory agencies are routinely packed with corporate lobbyists and CEOs. So the foxes are guarding the chicken coop as usual in the US. So who wouldn\'t be skeptical?

The evangelicals will probably be split 50/50. The neocons and the economic conservatives will remain with the GOP and keep the fundraising infrastructure intact. The GOP desperately contacts Obama and says they\'ll accept Merrick Garland as their Supreme Court pick. Obama laughs and says "Too bad", and punts the decision to Hillary, who will nominate a full-blown liberal to replace Scalia. The Tea Party will have no ability to fundraise or campaign, and will be completely blown out of the water in 2016. They\'ll persist until 2018 at the very least on momentum alone, whereupon they\'ll lose even worse. The traditional GOP will lose very badly as well, in both 2016 and 2018. The Senate will flip back to the Dems. The House will be a conservative majority simply because the country is that gerrymandered right now, but the two conservative parties will not work together anymore so we\'ll have a 3-party plurality where literally nothing gets done. Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer, both in their 80\'s, decide to retire and allow Hillary to replace them on the Supreme Court. Anthony Kennedy may make this decision as well. Hillary will appoint 3-4 justices to the court during her tenure and the SC will be a liberal majority for the first time in over 30 years. The Speaker of the House, which required a majority to become elected, may become an empty position. The House will be so dysfunctional that literally nothing ever gets done, and no laws get passed for the entirety of the 2016-2018 term. The US might even default on its debt finally. Perhaps enough of the GOP would defect to side with the Democrats just to pass really important shit like that, but who knows, really. Eventually, everyone realises that the Tea Party cannot exist without the GOP and the GOP cannot exist without the Tea Party, and that the 2020 census is coming up. If they don\'t get together, soon, they could lose the house for the next decade once the states turn blue again and the house districts become un-gerrymandered. There may be a half-assed attempt to unify the conservatives. I\'m not sure what that looks like. In my professional opinion it\'ll be the GOP making empty promises on trade and pretending to adopt more racist policies. The Tea Party collapses, rejoins the GOP, and put up a good fight. Buuuut. Seeing as how 2020 is a presidential election year, the Democrats will turn out in force, and the states flip blue again, thus ensuring that the congressional districts get redrawn more in their favor. 2022 is the first time that the Democrats have a real shot at the House, and I give them 2:1 odds of gaining it. 2024, Elizabeth Warren rides on the wave of progressivism that Bernie kicked off in 2015 and handily gets voted into the Presidency. By 2026, we may even have single-payer healthcare. Meanwhile, the GOP ceases to become relevant on the national stage until they realise they\'ve slid too far right and need to compromise once and for all. They will only maintain power in their safe regions. If the GOP splits, we\'re pretty much looking at a solid Democratic majority for another 20 years before things begin to realign.', ">>{WKWA} : Candidate (not President) Obama eight years ago in a much larger way than Sanders.

But to no longer consider them liberal is a stretch. Bernie is doing a good job of telling us how many people out there would like to see the party go left again. I love him for that. That\'s why I think Warren will be the future voice of the Democrats. But the problem we have is that the conservatives are simply more reliable voters than the liberals. Young, idealistic liberals simply don\'t bother to vote, and therefore the Overton Window keeps sliding right as the politicians fight for the people who will actually go out and vote. The Bernie Or Bust movement is a prime example of this. They couldn\'t even dominate the primaries the way they promised, and for some reason they think they have the leverage to force Hillary to adopt every single one of their policy planks? That\'s not reasonable. The voters voted for Hillary; clearly they like her policies more. All I ever see are complaints that Hillary is snubbing the Sanders voters, when in reality it\'s the Sanders voters who continue to claim that they aren\'t moving one inch. Adults compromise and if you start from a position where you state "Everything that\'s mine is mine, and everything that\'s yours is negotiable", well, then people aren\'t going to fall for it. Hopefully, Bernie has opened the eyes of the party and we\'ll start to see a slide to the left. But... as they say, "it takes two to tango". The base has to give a little, the progressives have to give a little. Slide to the left, but maybe we do it halfway instead of the whole shebang.

And low turnout in primaries leads to low turnout in the general and downballot races.

Disregarding the convincing Trump victory because "he doesn\'t represent the party well" is a pretty big middle finger to all who voted in the primary, regardless of candidate. P.S. Also, if I understand it correctly, Trump did get to 1237, which means a potential convention upset would have to involve bound delegates switching their vote. Which raises a question: what exactly "binds" delegates? Is there a written agreement, with punishment for breaking it? What theoretically happens if a bound delegate doesn\'t vote for who he\'s supposed to?', '>>{LittlefingerVulgar} : The Tea Party contingent will probably finally have the balls to break off and form a completely new party. The evangelicals will probably be split 50/50. The neocons and the economic conservatives will remain with the GOP and keep the fundraising infrastructure intact. The GOP desperately contacts Obama and says they\'ll accept Merrick Garland as their Supreme Court pick. Obama laughs and says "Too bad", and punts the decision to Hillary, who will nominate a full-blown liberal to replace Scalia. The Tea Party will have no ability to fundraise or campaign, and will be completely blown out of the water in 2016. They\'ll persist until 2018 at the very least on momentum alone, whereupon they\'ll lose even worse. The traditional GOP will lose very badly as well, in both 2016 and 2018. The Senate will flip back to the Dems. The House will be a conservative majority simply because the country is that gerrymandered right now, but the two conservative parties will not work together anymore so we\'ll have a 3-party plurality where literally nothing gets done. Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer, both in their 80\'s, decide to retire and allow Hillary to replace them on the Supreme Court. Anthony Kennedy may make this decision as well. Hillary will appoint 3-4 justices to the court during her tenure and the SC will be a liberal majority for the first time in over 30 years. The Speaker of the House, which required a majority to become elected, may become an empty position. The House will be so dysfunctional that literally nothing ever gets done, and no laws get passed for the entirety of the 2016-2018 term. The US might even default on its debt finally. Perhaps enough of the GOP would defect to side with the Democrats just to pass really important shit like that, but who knows, really. Eventually, everyone realises that the Tea Party cannot exist without the GOP and the GOP cannot exist without the Tea Party, and that the 2020 census is coming up. If they don\'t get together, soon, they could lose the house for the next decade once the states turn blue again and the house districts become un-gerrymandered. There may be a half-assed attempt to unify the conservatives. I\'m not sure what that looks like. In my professional opinion it\'ll be the GOP making empty promises on trade and pretending to adopt more racist policies. The Tea Party collapses, rejoins the GOP, and put up a good fight. Buuuut. Seeing as how 2020 is a presidential election year, the Democrats will turn out in force, and the states flip blue again, thus ensuring that the congressional districts get redrawn more in their favor. 2022 is the first time that the Democrats have a real shot at the House, and I give them 2:1 odds of gaining it. 2024, Elizabeth Warren rides on the wave of progressivism that Bernie kicked off in 2015 and handily gets voted into the Presidency. By 2026, we may even have single-payer healthcare. Meanwhile, the GOP ceases to become relevant on the national stage until they realise they\'ve slid too far right and need to compromise once and for all. They will only maintain power in their safe regions. If the GOP splits, we\'re pretty much looking at a solid Democratic majority for another 20 years before things begin to realign.', '>>{in_the_saddle_again} : Couple things wrong with this. The democrats are no longer liberal. This should be obvious by how abandon their base is with bernie.', '>>{LittlefingerVulgar} : I\'ll agree that the Democrats have been sliding to the right. But to no longer consider them liberal is a stretch. Bernie is doing a good job of telling us how many people out there would like to see the party go left again. I love him for that. That\'s why I think Warren will be the future voice of the Democrats. But the problem we have is that the conservatives are simply more reliable voters than the liberals. Young, idealistic liberals simply don\'t bother to vote, and therefore the Overton Window keeps sliding right as the politicians fight for the people who will actually go out and vote. The Bernie Or Bust movement is a prime example of this. They couldn\'t even dominate the primaries the way they promised, and for some reason they think they have the leverage to force Hillary to adopt every single one of their policy planks? That\'s not reasonable. The voters voted for Hillary; clearly they like her policies more. All I ever see are complaints that Hillary is snubbing the Sanders voters, when in reality it\'s the Sanders voters who continue to claim that they aren\'t moving one inch. Adults compromise and if you start from a position where you state "Everything that\'s mine is mine, and everything that\'s yours is negotiable", well, then people aren\'t going to fall for it. Hopefully, Bernie has opened the eyes of the party and we\'ll start to see a slide to the left. But... as they say, "it takes two to tango". The base has to give a little, the progressives have to give a little. Slide to the left, but maybe we do it halfway instead of the whole shebang. Too much rapid change and you may force the conservative rift to heal prematurely, simply out of fear for the progressives.', '>>{Meetchel} : Trump can still run and win in the general election regardless of what happens at the convention. The RNC is not a legal part of the ACTUAL election, just one of two hyper-powerful entities (the two main parties) that essentially put their unified support toward one candidate.

I get that the Republican Party is a separate entity that sets its own rules. My point is that, basically, if Trump gets upset at the convention despite getting 1237 BOUND delegates, that means they\'re not really "bound" (because they had to break their commitment in order to perform an upset), which opens up a large can of worms regarding the whole primary process. If the RNC is in any way rational and assesses the situation beyond "we must not elect Trump at any cost", they won\'t take that risk. Or they shouldn\'t, at least.', ">>{Trump-Tzu} : Exactly.

(Ram mounts are tighter than the skin on a Jimmy Dean sausage.) lol It provides no drop absorption though. Just keeps the phone from getting scratched. It\'s nice that it makes my white phone look black too. (I didn\'t want to wait for a black phone when the 6S was new, so I just bought the white one and got the black case that covers the entire phone minus the screen.)', '>>{Pavlovs_Doug} : OOO. Glad I read this. I was about to buy one. TY. :-)', '>>{Diggoobuoxum} : Instead of wasting your time on this you should have volunteered at the homeless shelter and done some good.', '>>{whoamanwtf} : Does your phone think you have headphones plugged in though with this plugged in?', ">>{Pavlovs_Doug} : Are you one of my kids joking around?

I just buy them cheap on eBay and they are amazing! 10/10", ">>{Buttstache} : It's like the dumbest troll account ever. The guy posts in The_Donald seriously, but any other post is some over-exaggerated leftist or something? Your reply is pretty slam dunk though!", '>>{whoamanwtf} : That could be a reason then for you to get one of the rubber/plastic or the buttons, with those the phone does not think it has headphones in so it works like normal still.', ">>{colinstalter} : If you put some tape over the metal the phone wont know it's plugged in.", ">>{Pavlovs_Doug} : Well ok. But I don't know why it's my job to screen shot your trollness. http://i.imgur.com/6YqAn5v.jpg", ">>{Diggoobuoxum} : That's what I thought. People make stuff up all the time on Reddit, it's sickening.", ">>{Pavlovs_Doug} : OMG. So much better! I laid out 10 big ones and got a Titanium one that doesn't fool the phone into thinking you're listening to music. :-) http://i.imgur.com/DIV9e1k.jpg Feels sweet and acts like a little handling nub which keeps the phone more secure in the hand. I got the Titaner one. 10 bucks included shipping from Asia! :-)"]]
