  1. So the centrist position.

    1- he represents not more of the same

    Nobody can argue with that.

    2- he is not a traitor to his country like HRC

    Are we talking Benghazi or Vince Foster?

    3- he has never got an American killed through action or inaction

    Then he's never had real power in this country.

    4- he didn't carpet bag the NY Senate seat

    By which you mean: win a majority of votes in NY.

    5- he says whatever he wants. he does not bow down to the racist SJW haters

    This is only a virtue if what he wants to say is worth while. I'm glad he was able to stand up in a Republican primary and call the Iraq war a stupid, horrible mistake, 13 years late, but still. Most of what he has to say is ignorant bullshit, though.

    6- he has worked in the real world. he is not a life long leach on the tax payers who never held a real job (HRC)

    I'm pretty sure Trump's held fewer "real jobs" than Hillary, and he's apparently a leach on anybody who tries to do business with him.

  3. Yeah, but you have to have a story better than "training exercise" or your guys wont fight.

    It's would be the equivalent of allowing pro-confederacy senators. Which we did and still do.

    If Pat Robertson could run the U.S., and he's tried, he'd ban teletubbies. Islamophobia is a polite description of someone who's racist against swarthy people who write funny.

    "The only way to end the threat of Islamic takeover of the world, next year or in 20 centuries."

    That's correct. That's also true of Christianity. Should we annihilate that religion too?

    There are a lot of processors out there that aren't complicated. On an 8 bit microcontroller with an instruction set size of only a few dozen, it's not hard to beat compiled code.

    There are a couple of reasons to optimize early.

    Design of your program may change depending on maximum capability. It's better to change a design earlier in development.

    Faster run times can improve testing and debug cycles.

  19. Your own post boils down to: the Secretary of State bucked the rules of her own department. In your mind, this is egregious law breaking.

    "And it's obvious to anyone with common sense what her motive was"
    This is just making shit up. Do you have any evidence this was her motive?

    How about: she didn't trust State IT to protect her emails, either through bad security, foreign spies, or ordinary folk working at State who just didn't like her and would be willing to leak damaging email.

    "then you will have no moral right to complain later when President Trump does something just as bad"

    He does worse just by opening his mouth. Heck, he runs scam after scam to make his fortune, but you guys are upset about Hillary's email server, as if we were electing her queen of IT. Fricking insane.

  20. Why would I advocate that? Powell used his executive authority to do what he thought was best, and as far as I know, didn't violate any laws in the process.

  21. Incompetence at State IT is, IIRC, the reason Colin Powell gave for why he set up his own email server.

    What's Israel mad at us for? Not fighting in Iran? or is it Syria this week? Or maybe it's because we keep asking them to honor their agreements. Maybe we should be nicer. They are our most important ally right after Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Norway, Portugal, Austria, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia and some others.

    "the President rushes on TV to lecture us about Islamophobia" He's trying to keep the bigots from giving ISIS what it wants. This is a good thing for presidents to do.

    The rest is pretty rich. When's the last time Obama's had his way on the economy? 2009 with the stimulus package. Since then the Republicans have happily sat on their hands while the recovery peters along at a miserable rate.
