    We get it. You're a mind-numbingly oblivious Hillary supporter. No matter what illegal activity she is found doing, you will back her forever. Because that other guy is so bad.

    But you can tone back the typical liberal hatred of all people who don't agree with every idea you have. You aren't really accomplishing anything except to show how deep that hatred and bigotry are among the left.

    There is no scandal in reality, just political smear campaigns. Clinton is innocent of all charges.

    No. FBI Director Comey specifically said he didn't think any prosecutor would be willing to bring charges against Hillary (Dead-shot) Clinton.

  5. And there we have the liberal attack, with their typical homophobic slur that they accuse conservatives of using. All because someone online doesn't agree with them, on every issue, 100%.

    Do you ever wonder why you can't convince people that your views are better?

    Either Slashdot is not as intelligent as I thought, or it is more right-wing than I thought

    Trump is not "right-wing". He is a populist, with an eclectic and shifting mix of the worst of both left and right.

    "Right-wing" means fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets, free trade, and cutting entitlements, ... like the Republican led Congress when Bill Clinton signed their bills into law.

    FTFY

    What? You thought Bill Clinton wrote every piece of legislation that Congress voted on?

    You need to watch Schoolhouse Rock.

    Just curious, how do you think Trump would have responded in Johnson's place?

    He probably would have failed the smell test too, but it would be more Trump's style to deflect the question by re-stating that he knows more about ISIS than the Generals do and underscore it with his little finger pointing in the air saying "Believe me!".

    I think that at some point in the next two debates Trump's knowledge that he claims to have on ISIS and the international situation needs to be put to the test in a non -multiple choice type of way. (Essay questions!)

    I am not holding my breath, despite all the angsty teen sounding posts talking about how great Trump is, his answers are over confident, show no evidence he actually possesses the knowledge level he claims to and he responds angrily and rhetorically to try to shut down those types of questions.

    Trumps commentary and general overconfident posture invokes fears that he is a victim of the Dunning Kruger effect. Before we elect him, if that is what is destined to happen we must make sure that he is not bullshiting, because there is just too much important shit at stake in the world to let him slide by like he was trying to get a C+ to scrape by on a high schools social studies test he didn't study for. If Trump is so great of a candidate he really needs to pass the smell test and so far he has done really really poorly. The Trump supporters who think that he won the debate, despite what every poll is saying, are the facts be damned type so arguing with them with credible evidence to back your position up is a waste of energy. The real deal breaker for me was when I found out (though I was not going to vote for Trump to begin with) Trump is an Anti-Vaccination believer. I cannot vote for Trump, my fingers are incapable of checking the box.. won't happen. Science is true whether you believe in it or not.

    I love to hear people make that claim. Let me ask you one quick question that is about science.

    What species is the organism developing inside a fertilized chicken egg?

  9. Totally agree. Anybody but Hillary.

    Anything is better than the corruption that is the Clintons.

    No, not anything. Economic devastation and deep recession ...

    ... is in store for us no matter which one gets elected.

    followed by lots of multinational corporations becoming ex-US

    ??? Have you been watching the news for the last few years? Does the rock you live under only get digital broadcast TV?

    due to shattering of trade deals is not better. If you think US could survive couple bankruptcies like Trump's casinos, then you are sadly mistaken.

    Again, we are going to have the same bankruptcies whether it is under President Clinton the Second, or President Trump. I think that is inevitable at this point. Unless Washington DC can stop bleeding money at billions of dollars a second. Of the two, only Trump has a hope of making that happen, because Hillary is going to open a few more veins of the body politic and spill its lifeblood even faster.

    Do you think countries like Venezuela are doing OK, with similar actions as to what Hillary and the Democrats will put in place? (Economically, socially, and politically.)

    Clinton was a shyster lawyer, a carpetbagger senator, and a Secretary of State with the ability to make every situation she oversaw crumble into failure. Not to mention, for a healthcare program that went nowhere, her husband put her in charge of it with no authority to actually do anything but make speeches.

    So, I still don't see what experience Hillary Clinton has over Donald Trump to qualify her for the Oval Office.

  11. Totally agree. Anybody but Hillary. I don't care if it was a random name from the phone book. Anybody but Hillary!

    I work at a hospital. We audit people's access to medical records. You can be, and people have been, fired for looking at their own medical record or the medical records of their minor children when that access was made in a way that does not directly relate to their job. You are required to ask for the information the same as any other patient.

    My ex-brother in-law would use his seniority to work Christmas night and New Years when it fell on a weekend. One night == a week of pay: nighttime pay, weekend pay, holiday pay, ... all at time and a half or more ....

    Well, that money was going to go to someone who had to man that shift. A worse violation would be if he never had to serve the holiday shifts so he could be with his family, but forcing the guys with less seniority to always take them.

    If you're flying it over your own property, you probably are standing there in your backyard. Your neighbor probably saw you in your backyard. Your neighbor probably knows you have a toy helicopter you fly over your own backyard.

    Let's assume we have a certain wooded block that's two miles to a side in the country, and several landowners that own non-rectangular sections. None of it is marked "No Trespassing", in accordance with your assertion. It is well known that all of the landowners except one allow hunting on their parcel, no written permission required.

    Now let's someone is walking on property owned by a landowner that allows hunting, and he crosses 10 feet over the unmarked boundary onto the property of the landowner that does not allow trespassing. He then turns around and retraces his steps back 20 feet, all without knowing he even crossed that boundary.

    If the non-permissive landowner had a camera there, and took the video of trespass to the local prosecutor's office, do you think he could get the trespasser arrested? Do you think the trespasser could possibly be convicted if it did go to court?
