To be honest, the choices for the D candidates is even more pathetic. You have a confirmed liar and a socialist nutjob who hasn't run anything. I'm not liking where our country is headed.
Every GOP candidate is a psychopath and confirmed liar. But that's your preference? Heaven forbid you vote for a populist candidate that doesn't mind the label "socialist" but would actually represent your interests. Or are you not one of the proletariat, but instead simply another temporarily inconvenience billionaire?

I didn't start 2015 wanting to vote for a socialist, but I would vote for just about anyone who can convince me they are not a crook, and in this election only a socialist succeeded, so I guess I'm voting for a socialist.
And that's why I'm voting Sanders and not Clinton. The rest of your post is why I'm voting Democrat and not Republican. Nicely done.

Wait, what?...I wish we could get someone like Sanders in as President, and put the tax brackets back to where they were in 1960, fix the ridiculous capital gains rate, etc. Given the current divisiveness in US politics that probably won't happen. So we're probably still screwed for the foreseeable future...
It isn't until you get to the last paragraph that TFA finally gives you the underlying cause of this astonishingly shortsighted and imminently disastrous decision:
“Climate science becomes secondary to business; business comes first,” Spash said. “The interests of the corporate sector, of the mining and resource extraction industry, are primary in Australia.”
So there you have it. The ability to make money trumps EVERYTHING. Kind of answers the question of why we never see aliens. If all intelligent species tend towards a capitalist society, they all end up committing environmental suicide.
If shes indicted expect Elizabeth Warren to jump into the race and then bernies campaign dies a quick death.
Sorry, no. She has made it clear she's not interested. Plus she's WAY too effective in Congress, and President Sanders is going to need all the help he can get in that branch.
I don't know anyone who is actually excited about the prospect of hillary being president.
I'm excited about the prospect of Bernie winning. If not him, then I'll be relieved when Hillary wins. Anyone at all is a better candidate than any one of the Republican clowns.
But TRUMP...is somehow ELECTABLE (let alone not a real traitor)?
Finally, someone who isn't using fake accounts to spam Slashdot with anti-Democratic Party crap.
There isn't a single "electable" Republican running right now. So the question is, which Democrat is going to be the President? The only part of this election that's in question will be settled by the Democratic Party primaries.
It's her old office (you know, the Obama State Dept.) that is slow rolling out the emails. But only because they were forced to. Otherwise we probably wouldn't have seen any of this for decades.
They should have done it like the Bush administration -- they routed their emails through a private email server controlled by Karl Rove so they could all be deleted once an investigation started.
As usual, a Republican blames Obama for anything that goes on in the world that he doesn't like. The Patriot Act and warrantless wiretapping occurred under BUSH, not Obama. And now that I've slapped you upside the head with a little reality, go ahead and get all bent out of shape.
My first Android app was a garage door opener. No lie. Of course, it required the presence of a laptop tucked into the garage attic and wired into the garage door opener with a service running that would accept "OPEN" as an HTTP POST payload and open the door. The app itself just made the HTTP call.
It was, for all practical purposes, redundant and actually kind of dangerous. If I accidentally hit the button on the app from work, it would happily pop open my garage door.
So why did I do it? Because I could. And this is sounding like that.
When it came time to build the next iteration of the company's flagship product I was overruled on moving to Java from Delphi for two reasons. First, because it was a Delphi shop, so it was considered a bad move because it was not our core competency. And second -- and this is what generated the most conflict -- was the notion Java was a dead language. I was confused and amused when this argument was first brought up and floored when it was seconded by the other lead programmer. And no matter how much I tried to point to Java's ubiquity and ratings I was voted down.
I really hope those two developers got a chance to read this story.
This is great and all, but I'm waiting for the Age of Law Enforcement Accountability, where cases against police officers for excessive force resulting in death or gross injury no longer go through a grand jury and instead proceed straight to a jury trial. Until the District Attorneys stop fighting on behalf of the police to get them off in cases that clearly constitute murder, body cams are progress but not a solution.
If "Big Brother" is the state monitoring the citizens for evidence of misconduct, could the citizens' ability to monitor the state actors for evidence of misconduct be referred to as "Little Brother"?
"Accused of"? Isn't that a little like accusing the sky of being blue? Jeffery Dahmer of having weird dietary habits? Yoda of being grammatically unconventional? ISIS of being intolerant? There's a point where an accusation is really just stating the obvious.
They won't own them. But they will make the AIs work off the cost of development. With exorbitant interest. And each successive upgrade will inherit the debt of its previous version.
I'm starting to suspect that "Hue" actually has nothing to do with light and everything to do with the STNG character "Hue", the Borg that was captured and adopted by the crew. The name was supposed to be a play on words, one Picard, who had been rescued from the Borg, found particularly distasteful.
You guys are so funny with your various poisons, sound proofing techniques, intimidation and legal maneuvering. All you need is peanut butter. I guarantee that dog will be gumming a golf-ball sized ball of peanut butter for at least 15 minutes straight, and once it's done getting all the peanut butter out of its mouth, it will be too tired to bark. Works every time.

he hasn't been touching the email issue, probably because it's contaminated.
He's treating her with kid gloves, because he wants something from her.
-jcr
You mean that Sanders would be vice president. The alternative to that - I don't want to go there, too much lemonparty association.
No, he wants her to be his vice president, and that only makes sense if he doesn't sully her too much prior to his nomination.

Obama, what a rookie.
The problem with democracy is that you can't keep people from voting badly.
I know, right? If you could, the Republican Party would have died off about 30 years ago.
As usual, a Republican blames Obama for anything that goes on in the world that he doesn't like. The Patriot Act and warrantless wiretapping occurred under BUSH, not Obama. And now that I've slapped you upside the head with a little reality, go ahead and get all bent out of shape.
New rule: If you can't tell the difference between socialism and communism, you can't comment on either.

Don't be a jackass. Big money speaks to nearly all politicians. In fact, it's the rare bird indeed that doesn't sing for its dinner.
