You've been eating up everything the media (biased, even though they claim they're not) has been saying about Trump. I tried to warn people like you. Trump is not a right-wing extremist like the media has been trying to portray him to help get Clinton elected. He was actually one of the most politically moderate candidates running in the primaries. That's a large part of the reason the Republican party leaders were horrified he won the nomination. They wanted someone more solidly right-wing (which is why he selected Pence as VP - to mollify the party bosses).

His political beliefs aligned pretty closely with the American mainstream, not the skewed viewpoint the party faithful think is "normal" (either party). I warned you to take him seriously, but instead the press went off-topic onto witch hunts looking for any dirt they could come up with on him, while Clinton supporters got busy planning a transition into a Clinton Presidency. The only poll which seems to have got it right was the USC / Los Angeles Times poll, which tried to correct for how people who refused to answer polls would vote. Apparently with all the public lambasting of Trump going on in the media, a lot of Trump supporters weren't comfortable telling strangers (pollsters) that they were voting for him.

Political speech mostly, and the expression of ideas are the most protected.

That's a very vague answer...

The sad reality is, once you accept even a seemingly innocuous infringement — such as, for example, that famous example of yelling "fire" (or "gun!") in a crowd, you start down a very steep and slippery slope. For example, Trump is — according to millions of Americans — a very dangerous man to this country, his election promising to be a disaster far more dangerous than a handful of deaths in a panicked crowd of any theater. He is also a racist, is not he? Ergo, Trump's speech, however political, should be curtailed, his followers suppressed. (Wait for AC follow-ups here expressing agreement with this sentence.)

If you think, this is an unlikely and asinine scenario, you haven't been paying attention. There are articles and educated opinions out there already proposing a ban on "hate speech" in general (such as on this, supposedly "Liberal" web-site) and on pro-Trump speech in particular... Other perfectly respectable countries ban "hate speech" already — even that of politicians.

One should be extremely careful accepting new arguments for infringing more speech — and always seek to get rid of existing ones.

A Republic (and a Democracy) can survive such bogus claims being legal. They are a nuisance, but not a threat.

Why do people keep buying these unsafe cars from a manufacturer who can't be trusted?

it might have something to do with... i dunno, facts: Tesla’s Model S Sedan Named Safest Car In The History Of Cars

Even if I do agree that the AC OP is a troll, you should use source a little more recent than 2013 to draw those conclusion. There's a lot of event that happened for the model S since 2013.

Wait. Who did she kill?

Seriously? If you believe the Republicans and those fostering conspiracy theories: Vince Foster, Seth Rich, everyone in the Benghazi consulate, etc... Just Google: who did hillary clinton kill Of course, there's *no* proof of anything - and if she *did* do all that *and* got away with it, then she's a serious bad-ass and wouldn't we actually want her as President to go up against Putin, etc... :-)

Conspiracy Theorists Won't Stop Accusing The Clintons Of Murder

I realize that it is from a very biased source, but the methodology used by 538 is pretty goofy.

This poster is most likely an alt-right white nationalist who is seeking to plant seeds of the plausibility of racist ideologies with white, upper middle class millennials like ./'s reader base. That, and maybe "widen the Overton window--a term for the range of acceptable political discussion" to include black inferiority.

I will admit I am yelling "fire" without seeing the flames. My bad, and I should probably tone it down.

Here is an example of what can happen: http://arstechnica.com/securit... It shows just how easy it can be for them to insert something that can be abused.

The real danger is that with a binary-only, closed-source browser like Chrome, there is really no easy way know what it is doing behind-the-scenes or what backdoors it might have for them or governments. It is probably harder to prove it is not spying on users than proving it is. And Google has far more incentive to track everything you do compared to, say, Mozilla. Of course, if you also use Google search and/or sign-in with a Google account while using Chrome/Chromium, you are turning it into a type of approved super spyware on the spot.

I am amazed at how cavalier people are about their privacy, especially when it involves Google. The scariest thing is that most people have no idea just how much data is being collected about them (and yes it happens with all browsers and all services, but it is stepped up to overdrive with Google).

And if you are curious, no, I don't use Google's search engine directly, I always use http://startpage.org/ I also install Firefox browser on my Android devices and use that and startpage for searching.

All that really matters is whether the leaks are true. In the case of Podesta's emails, we can validate them by the DKIM signature. We know how Podesta was hacked, though, it was exactly this phishing email. See how that is a bitly link to "reset" his Google password? What I don't know is how they could possibly miss that GMail would flag this saying something like "THIS IS NOT FROM GOOGLE YOU MORON."

Similarly, whether or not that was American intelligence that hacked a top Russian aide, what's perhaps more worrying is that Hillary has been pushing for a no-fly-zone that would leave us shooting down Russian planes over Syria. To most people who know about the area, this sounds like a great way to start WWIII. This might help explain why she's so eager to to expand the draft so women can #FightForHer.

Then you have not been paying attention for the last 60 years.

Every single election, the democrats trot out their army of race-baiters to gin up energy in their base. Every single election they allege "voter suppression" efforts are keeping minorities from the polls. Every election year any traffic accident or road construction in a minority neighborhood is touted as a Republican conspiracy to suppress the minority vote.

They just use different language. Instead of "rigged", use the words "voter suppression". Here's Huffpo from the 2012 cycle with a top ten list. Here's the Brennan Center from 2008. Here's the Daily Kos covering 2000-2006.

So no, there is no partisan ownership of "rigged election" or "voter fraud". Both parties are fully willing to use this sort of rhetoric to gin up their base. Both parties are perfectly willing to use whatever tool they can grab to gain an upper hand. If that means getting people all riled up about stolen elections, then so be it. If that means falsely accusing people of racism, well, this ain't softball, kid.

And no, talking about rigging elections isn't exclusively tinfoil hat conspiracy theory nuttery. Many serious historians will opine that the election of JFK over Nixon was due to a few fraudulent precincts. Here's a sample from the Wiki, just to appease those who like to ask for citations

Kennedy won Illinois by less than 9,000 votes out of 4.75 million cast, or a margin of 0.2%.[43] However, Nixon carried 92 of the state's 101 counties, and Kennedy's victory in Illinois came from the city of Chicago, where Mayor Richard J. Daley held back much of Chicago's vote until the late morning hours of November 9. The efforts of Daley and the powerful Chicago Democratic organization gave Kennedy an extraordinary Cook County victory margin of 450,000 votes—more than 10% of Chicago's 1960 population of 3.55 million,[49] although Cook County also includes many suburbs outside of Chicago's borders—thus barely overcoming the heavy Republican vote in the rest of Illinois. Earl Mazo, a reporter for the pro-Nixon New York Herald Tribune, investigated the voting in Chicago and "claimed to have discovered sufficient evidence of vote fraud to prove that the state was stolen for Kennedy."[43]

So allegations of rigged elections and voter fraud go back as far as democracy, I'd suppose. And no, it isn't just people on the other team who claim such things.

Just put Bill Gates in charge and be done with it.

Actually, he'd be a better choice than most of today's Congress-critters...

But, seriously, how much would this hypothetical Mr. Gates have to pay per vote to make a difference? People, who don't care, will sell theirs cheaply, but that's Ok — they didn't care anyway, so theirs is not an important vote. People, who do care, will need a substantial sum to "sell out"...

Keep in mind, Hillary Clinton will spend a whopping billion on her campaign — maybe, simply giving the money to voters would've been better for all?

You don't just ask people what class they fall in...you'll get inaccurate results. How many "rich" people volunteer in a group of 61?...or even 400.

There are regional and generational differences...the article didn't say if the experiment occurred in just one location or if they experimented in a variety. Or, did they consider the age of the participants.

Also, it's quite possible there's another explanation. There's plenty of prior work showing that more successful people are able to assess things more quickly than less successful. But no, let's jump to the SJW conclusion. Empathy has been shown to be a trait of successful people as well...

Will the US play along with this and not expand the extrajudicial assassination by drone program to Sweden? There's a high likelihood the next US administration will continue the drone war (which the US would call "state-sponsored terrorism" if any other country were doing has been doing). Terror Tuesday is coming up fast but we all know murder-by-drone is lighthearted humor except for its victims and anyone who thinks killing is wrong. Like Obama said, "Turns out I'm really good at killing people. Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine". Paving the way for the next war criminal, Hillary Clinton, to take over the role.

Exactly. Can you imagine how difficult it would make it for news organizations to have a legal obligation to present the facts and portray stories accurately? They wouldn't be able to cover themselves with the 'its just entertainment' excuse, when they pull off stunts like editing 911 audio tape in order to make someone appear racist.

Hold on, some things are not always as they initially seem:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

With 'adverse reaction' you mean encephalopathy, or even autism?
Even GSK in an internal report stated that INFANRIX caused autism.

'herd immunity', another one of those none-science-based concepts. Never proven, but made into a holy cow.

I'm following up on my comment: I've done some reading and it appears that Martin Gottesfeld in fact put huge effort into trying to fight a similar case where his wife's brother has been abused by "the system" and a "residential treatment facility". http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/58038d95e4b0f42ad3d26331/

We just have to keep recording (video and audio) these cases of official misconduct, publicize them, try to organize, and fight the evil people who find their way into the system. Sadly Gottesfeld tried but was not able to get other authorities to help. That also needs to be carefully documented and publicized.

We need to keep working toward a system where our Senators and Representatives actually know what We The People want and need.

And Trump has had more than his share of comments on women.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

Has Thiel himself come out for these views against equality?

You know he said women shouldn't have been given the right to vote, right? He said it in 2009. in a blog post he wrote for "Cato Unbound". You can look it up yourself, because I won't link to that trash.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

Stop with the court bullshit. We are not in a court of law, but rather the court of public opinion, and public opinion has always been that she's power-hungry and people don't trust her (68% say she can't be trusted, and only 38% like her).

32% saying she's trustworthy is nowhere near the "balance of probabilities" to win a civil case, if you insist on a court analogy. So the real question is, WTF happened to your electoral process to produce two of the worst candidates possible, candidates that the majority simply don't trust. It's not hard to figure out - Citizen's United. Unlimited 3rd party funds. Nobody can even hope to run unless they can raise a billion bucks during their campaign - and that's no guarantee of winning. Both Obama and Romney spent over a billion last time around.

Also, "Why are you prosecuting Hillary on nothing but stolen garbage" - it would be very easy to disprove the email dumps - just release her and Podesta's copies. Of course, the reason why that's not going to happen is because the email dumps are accurate. Obama produced his birth certificate, but the Clinton campaign won't release their copies any more than Donald Trump would release his tax returns - it would confirm they are both liars.

Is Trump racist? YES!

FTFY.

A short and very incomplete list of completely racist things Trump has said or done:
-"theres one of my blacks"
-"mexico is sending us rapists"
-"laziness is a trait in blacks"
-"the judge is a Mexican"
-"they don’t look like Indians to me... They don’t look like Indians to Indians.”
-supports stop-and-frisk, as practiced by the NYPD (ie, unconstitutional and racially discriminatory), and wants it expanded nationwide, claiming it worked, contrary to all evidence
-Obama's birth certificate
-condoned the abuse and even beatings of multiple Black Lives Matter protesters and other minorities at his campaign rallies
-regularly engages in anti-Semitism
-treats his minority supporters as literal tokens
-treats minorities and racial groups as monolithic stereotypes
-thinks all African americans live in the inner city, are poor, without work, receiving welfare, and uneducated
-saying 88% of white murders are committed by black folks
-repeating statements from white supremacists multiple occasions
-making blatant dog whistles to the alt-right, white supremacist crowd
-not condemning or distancing from white supremacists campaigning for him, including David Duke
-encouraged mob justice against the Central Park 5, and continues to insist they are guilty years after its proven otherwise, including spending 85k$ on full page ads in the paper advocating for their execution
-being sued by the federal government on multiple occasions for not renting to minorities

Hell, even when he claims to be trying to reach out, he's doing so in white communities and actually only repeating racist myths and stereotypes that are meant to appeal to white voters and make them feel better about voting for such overt racist.

His father was a racist who went to KKK rallies. His sons are racist, and kep appearing on white supremacist radio programs..."accidentally". Once may be an accident. Twice, you need to fire your booking agent. four times and counting? its no longer accidental or someone else's fault.
Donald Trump IS racist, regardless of the efforts of the ignorant to ignore it or explain it away.

He operates several websites (BigGovernment, BigJournalism, and BigHollywood), where he and other right-wing bloggers spew their political pornography.

How about a plan that raises taxes on these ultra profitable companies in order to fund the construction of housing for people who can't afford to back a political campaign themselves?

Because the bay area people don't want more housing.(I hate huffpo, but they came up first on a google search).

Also, you're a selfish sanctimonious jerk for advocating that other people's money be taken away to suit you and your goals.

Hillary is a Republican.

Your us vs. them thinking gets tiresome. Sure, flip the fuck out because I linked the lamestream media (specifically HuffPo, which I'm sure burnses you) but the article makes cogent points.

The only people who actually want Hillary are shrived 2nd wave feminist hags. 3rd wave feminists don't even want her. In fact, 3rd wave feminists wanted Bernie. That's how disgusting Hillary is.

The problem is that the Donald must not be allowed to be president. To speak to your us vs. them mentality, you should have selected Jeb! or Kasich instead of the Donald. Kasich probably would have gotten my vote vs. Hillary. As long as my state looks to be a shoo-in for Hillary, I'll be likely voting for Johnson.

Anybody voting for the Donald is insane. Anybody voting for Hillary who isn't doing so to stop the Donald is insane. Voting 3rd party is the only rational choice to make.

As repugnant as Hillary is, I may have managed to convince a few liberals I know to vote for Stein. Sad truth is that without people getting the word out about Stein and Johnson, a lot of people really do think their only options are to vote Hillary or stay home.

Johnson and Stein don't need to be perfect or even a good idea for the Oval Office. Neither of them have a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Voting for them is the only way to send a message to the major parties that this horseshit is unacceptable.

At the times of Watergate, journalists relied on illegally-obtained information to bring down a Republican President. That was and remains deemed heroic and brought them accolades and Pulitzer Prizes.

Bradley Manning's exposures made him (or her? — one never knows with Illiberals) — a hero as well. He may be in prison, but he is a hero still — with numerous fans at home and abroad.

Julian Assange was a hero too, as long as his exposures harmed Bushitler. But then things started to get weird. First, Wikileaks published a few bits about WMDs found in Iraq after all, leading to questions of whether Bush really "lied". That was still forgivable, because the found caches weren't "massive".

But now that his releases harm a Democrat, his words are, as the very first post here claims, "bullshit" and he is not to be believed. One can really be forgiven for suspecting, people call the same acts different names depending on whether they are useful or harmful to Democrats.

A: Hillary was in a hell of a hurry to support the Iraq war - she voted for it as a senator with access to classified info yet now blames Trump who was a civilian with no access to classified info and when in ONE interview when pressed about the war said the economy was more important, "but, I guess so" (before returning to opposition in all other interviews).

B: Hillary was in a hell of a rush to light Libya on fire, then laughed later and said "we came, we saw, he died". Gaddafi was a dirtbag, but was no longer threatening the people of the US.

C: Hillary was in a hell of a rush to create a bloodbath in Syria and is currently supporting a "no fly zone" there - which would mean she is pushing to shoot down any Russian jets flying there. The Russians WILL fly there to defend Assad who is a critical ally of theirs, so like it or not this means she's willing to either go to war against Russia or fold like a cheap suit and further weaken American international credibility.

D: Hillary was quite eager to help the Muslim Brotherhood wreak havoc in Egypt, first overturning the tolerable jerk who was running the place, then unmasking themselves as the vile scum they are and leading to the military of that country arising back into power but this time with MORE support from a public who had a taste of "freedom" Hillary-Style (a terror-affiliated group of Islamo-supremacists run amok) and were repelled.

If the American people CHOOSE to put this woman in charge, and a bloody war results that rains some fire on the US as part of the exchange then it's probably only fair. Hillary and Obama have never been interested in using the military to protect America's ACTUAL national security (things like securing the borders of the US); now they want to risk war against Russia as revenge for the hack of some Democrat party people which had as its primary "bad" side effect the exposure of corruption and dishonesty among Democrats... WOW. The thing these people are willing to risk war for is their own raw domestic political power.

I keep hearing that Trump is the dangerous one - a real NAZI.... funny but he is the one who has never killed anybody, and SHE is the one backed and partly funded by an actual NAZI collaborator (George Soros, who in a 60 Minutes TV interview described how happy he was to help Hitler's Holocaust activities ).

Immediately after I gave you webpage citations, several of them, and then said "I can give you hundreds more", and the challenge to tell Universities that they are trolling the world with a problem, that you actually thought that I was talking about individual students, and not the Universities that are experiencing the problem that I was giving the links to?

And lest we forget, I answered you in the same vein as you replied, which to the trained eye, looks kinda snarky, but if you declare that trolling, then you were as well. P So since I've cleared that, is it your opinion that the problem does not exist, and that the Universities are making this up?

In some ways, this is like the remedial classes that are taught at Universities for Algebra, or other ares that placement tests show that a student is deficient in.

The big difference is that the deficiency is held by the parents of the students, who have not learned the final courtesy of parenting - letting your child become an adult. In my University, as the problem presented itself and would not go away, they eventually separated the parents from the students for special parental orientation. And it was much more traumatic for the parents by far. And only partially successful, as 18 years of overprotection doesn't go away just because someone tells you you are interfereing in your adult child's emotional growth.

Another part of the disservice we have done to them is the self esteem movement, a cornerstone of the millenial's education and socialization, has failed and failed badly.

side note - when the President of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary and the Huffpost agree on something, we might pay attention.

Regardless, the millennials were badly let down, by their parents inability to parent, and by societies belief that if you constantly tell someone they are special and the best, that they will grow up to be special and the best. Neither idea actually worked very well. Self esteem, that cornerstone of the millenial's upbringing, as it turns out, is earned, not conferred by praising every tiny thing a person does. A young person should not have either high or low self esteem. It is something developed, not inculcated. They should be encouraged and told about what they might be, but not told they have achieved greatness for sharpening a pencil.

And another corrosive element often shared by sports people is that if a person puts their mind to it, they can be anything at all that they want. Nope, nope nope. I can never be a female supermodel, and although athletic, I will never set a record in a marathon. Just won't. Wrong body style. I can wish and try as hard as I can, but I will fail.

And yet, I have very high esteem. It's built on what I have done in life, and my many achievements. All of them earned, and earned well.

Clearly I can't debate you because you have already debated both sides of the story in your head and with others who are not me. The point of my sarcastic original response is that you have no more grip on reality than others who are rich and famous. Consider a reduction of what we know about ourselves and reality.

From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
There is a chain of events to follow, Sherlock Holmes-like, from the red rose you gave your beloved, beginning with everyday reality and reducing it, step by step, to get to the source:
The sight, smell and texture of a rose (i.e., the experience), reduce to...
The brain assembling the picture of a rose from various regions dedicated to sight, smell and touch. This reduces to...
Neurons in each region specifically processing raw data into the qualities of a rose (known technically as qualia). These reduce to...
The supporting molecular structure that keeps a neuron alive. This reduces to...
The atoms that compose those molecules. These reduce to...
The subatomic particles (quanta) that structure atoms. These reduce to...
The quantum field that gives rise to quanta.
Science cannot yet explain what happens past this point and where the the source of this quantum field comes from.

So when you say these people have no grip on reality. I am saying that neither do you. We understand reality through how we interact with it and thereby change it at the same time. That reality seems to exist outside of us in the same way that physicists perform experiments and achieve similar results however people aren't consistent tools of measurement.

Lack of empathy, poor decision making and faulty can be reduced by other factors such as the assumption of intellectual superiority. I don't suppose you would know anything about that though.

Meanwhile Trump raped a 13 year old, but somehow that doesn't matter to you.

What did I say that made you think I was not being honest? Hillary has a history of racism and sexism. Trump has a history of racism and sexism. Trump opposes TPP, Hillary is for it, and 80% of Central American women and girls are raped during their illegal border crossing, so somebody's doing the raping.

Teachers, judges, journalists, businesspeople, bankers, shoemakers, chefs, police officers, florists... All of these people are in Turkish prisons for simply downloading ByLock. Thousands of children were left orphans in a country where child social services are broke. There are dozens of cases where entire families were jailed because of this app.

So? Donald Trump loves to fuck married women (when they don't turn him down) and grab them by the pussy.

For those wanting some context, here is a collection of articles from a variety of sources. For those saying "show me the evidence", they wouldn't believe any evidence -- or are themselves Russian trolls.

What Does Putin Want?
5 Oct 2016

The United States should pursue confrontation where necessary and mutual interests without illusions where possible.

However therapeutic and tempting, especially during election season and after Russiaâ(TM)s direct complicity in the Syria horror, the understandable impulse to confront and isolate President Vladamir Putinâ(TM)s Russia is not wise policy. Notwithstanding the many areas of altercation as well as the doomed attempt by President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to âoeresetâ U.S.-Russia relations after the George W. Bush administration, the next president should pursue a dual strategy designed both to challenge Putin where U.S. national interests demand it but find areas of collaboration where interests coincide. The United States should pursue confrontation where necessary and mutual interests without illusions where possible.

Russia Suspends Nuclear Agreement, Ends Uranium Research Pact With United States
5 Oct 2016

âoeThe regular renewal of sanctions against Russia ... demands the adoption of countermeasures against the U.S. side.â

Russia further curtailed its cooperation with the United States in nuclear energy on Wednesday, suspending a research agreement and terminating one on uranium conversion, two days after the Kremlin shelved a plutonium pact with Washington.

The Russian government said that as counter-measures to the U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia over Ukraine, it was putting aside a nuclear and energy-related research pact with the United States.

Russiaâ(TM)s Military Sophistication in the Arctic Sends Echoes of the Cold War
4 Oct 2016

Norwegian, NATO and U.S. officials express concerns over Moscowâ(TM)s increased sophistication in region

When the U.S. wants to learn what Russia is doing in the Arctic, it often turns to the Norwegian military, which has been conducting operations for decades from this Arctic town amid the fiords.

These days, it isnâ(TM)t the volume of Russian military activity in the region that concerns Norway and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies. Adm. Haakon Bruun-Hanssen, Norwayâ(TM)s chief of defense, says Russian military activity in the Barents Sea has grown in recent years but still pales in comparison to Cold War levels.

Amid Deteriorating U.S.-Russia Relations, Questions Grow About Cyberwar

Just when you thought U.S.-Russia relations couldn't get worse, diplomatic deals on both Syria and nuclear security fell apart this week.

Moscow went first, announcing that it was pulling out of a landmark agreement on plutonium. Russia's President V

The story of Yahoo!'s downfall can be repeated on a much grander scale, if we elect a woman simply because she is a woman .

Even if that were the case, it's still 100X better than electing a dangerous demagogue simply because he's a dangerous demagogue .

Just as the oppressed Blacks can not themselves be racist, women can not possibly be sexist.

There is strong evidence that following the correct channels doesn't work.
At least under the most transparent administration of all time.

I would prefer people who find evidence of wrongdoing follow the whistleblower process, but it looks like that is currently a dead end, in every meaning of the term.

The woman who had pledged to donate to the college fund for the son of your late PR consultant in exchange for the chance to punch you in the face reneged on the deal. How much would we have to raise in funding to let one of the current world boxing champions take that shot?

We've put cameras everywhere. People now routinely carry them in their pockets. We have not photographed Bigfoot. We have no video of aliens. The existence of the Loch Ness monster is not a proven fact.

On the other hand there was convincing evidence of Bishopville South Carolina's lizard man caught on camera in the last couple of years.

A fun read:

They may not have tried yet, but when both Obama and Clinton reference Australia as a model to look at for ideas, it's not a far-fetched conclusion to make. A large-scale confiscation of guns (practically every semi-automatic rifle or shotgun) is precisely what Australia is famous for in the gun control department.

If they were to cite, say, Czech Republic instead - which does have shall-issue concealed carry, doesn't have assault weapon ban, but doesn't have shooting sprees, so arguably it's a better model if you want to solve this problem in a politically viable manner - that would have been a different story.
