Yes, why vote against Hillary or Trump when you can vote against BOTH HILLARY AND TRUMP!
Vote third party, ANY third party. If you really want to stick it to them, vote for the most likely 3rd party Gary Johnson because if he wins even a few electoral votes, it could prevent either candidate from securing the election and the House of Representatives will have to make the call. You can't just not vote or write in, because those don't get counted and thus might as well be a vote for the status quo.
The VP serves a very important role in the modern government. The VPs job is to be just so appalling that no one tries to kill the President, but not so appalling that he hurts said candidate's chances of being elected.
Phillips is the best thing to use for a screw the user is expected to remove ONCE. Phillips in my experience are a one time tighten/loosen cycle before they are FUBAR.
Torx or Reynolds are where it is at. I've gotten Reynolds to work at some pretty good angles as well and it's near impossible to strip one.
Exactly. Statistically it is more likely that a police officer will rape someone at a traffic stop than the cop is to be killed. But for some reason we justify cops shooting first because they fear for their lives. I'm not saying there aren't justified reasons to shoot, and even shoot first. But "fear" itself is a poor justification especially when it's a white officer that is exposed to black criminals every day.
I'd rather protest vote for the the candidate I like the least than put my vote of approval on either of the major party assholes. Also, unless you live in a swing state, your vote doesn't matter so who the hell cares if you vote 3rd party?
We get plenty of volunteers for the fire department despite the fact the job entails putting one's own life at risk to protect the lives and property of others. Why do we not expect the same from our police?
You've obviously never been at a company where managers never stay in the same spot for more than a year or two. You get a department manager that doesn't like you for whatever reason and they just wait until your supervisor gets replaced and then find any excuse to throw you out the door. It's bad business, but since when do managers ever get taken to task for making horrible business decisions?
I sympathize with your situation. I wasn't fired so close after a good review, but I was fired for a bullshit "safety violation" without any notice whatsoever (my prior review was pretty good though). The company policy for disciplinary action and severance were not followed. I finally worked up the courage to contact a law firm, but the company declined to investigate at all (so much for the ethics department) and my lawyer dropped the case (they were probably hoping for a settlement).
That being said, the next job I had I enjoyed the people I worked for and when I found a new job while still employed I gave them almost 3 weeks notice and I was able to hand off all my projects and leave on good terms (even though HR still tried to screw things up).
The lesson to be learned is the companies are not people. They will kick you to the curb without hesitation and leave you with no recourse. Don't ever believe that you are part of a family or that you have any sort of loyalty from your employer or boss. But just because they are dicks doesn't mean you should be. Just build yourself up a financial safety net so they can't fuck you over and be ready to move on.
So Gary Johnson is not flinging poo... He is encouraging individuals to take responsibility for liberty and become more involved with making a good government. Sounds like you might support him.
I think you've been spending too much time with your head in the jungle... Any relevant monkey analogies for our current government? Any suggestions on how to improve it without going bananas?
I think you are confusing libertarians with anarchists again. Libertarians support limited government and a means to collect revenue with which to operate it.
Gary Johnson might be the lesser of 3 evils... Unless you are actually a Libertarian, in which case Gary's not evil but then I don't need to convince you.
I didn't want to make it obvious that I am a Gary supporter, but since you brought it up... He is the logical choice if you are concerned about having the potential to win. However, if you vote your conscience I fully support Jill Stein or any other candidate on your ballot.
Also, WTF is this bullshit from my former state of Ohio that Gary will be listed as an independent on the ballot because they ruled that Libertarians don't qualify for a presidential candidate on the ballot? Thank god Kasich didn't win, he's an asshole and most people don't know it. He'd probably have a better shot at winning this whole shindig than Trump.

Except in pretty much every state empty ballots and write ins are not counted.
You are correct, I was mixing up the Trumps. Ivanka is actually JUST eligible as she will turn 35 days before the 2016 election.
It is hard to keep them straight... My apologies.
Ivanka wasn't a natural born citizen, so yeah, there's that.

How about mounting them on the Goodyear blimp?
7+12=19. Amazon win in my book.

Yes, they took their time so much they were voting on Christmas Eve.
The Posse Comitatus Act doesn't apply to the police. It applies to the military.

Check your ballot. There are always more than two options. The media and the crowds just want you to believe that would mean throwing away your vote.

I fall asleep to the A Team when I have trouble falling asleep. Mr. T just puts me right out.
