I know this is difficult for you to understand, but not everyone fits into one of the two boxes in your tiny little mind. It does not follow that if someone criticizes one of the Ruling Party's criminal narcissists, that they support the other one.
"Oh, sorry: I don't accept checks. For that amount, I'll only accept gold, and that will only be credited to you once I've melted the bars, struck coins out of them, and submitted them to a personal friend for an assay by mass spectrometry."
The Republicans and the Democrats each had one reasonable candidate in the race this time, but the press starved them out because the two criminal narcissists got more eyeballs and page hits.
Aside from the fact that government is a parasite and taxation is theft, the government shouldn't be drug-testing anyone in the first place because 1) the war on drugs has no constitutional authority; it took a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, and that amendment was repealed, leaving NO authority for the feds to ban any drug, and 2) any search or seizure, per the 4th amendment, must be based on a finding of probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed.
Finally, regarding welfare recipients: the government shouldn't be in the charity business at all, because they SUCK at it. We already spend enough money at all levels of government to bring everyone above the poverty line, but that money does't get to the poor, it gets looted by apparatchiki along the way.
He may be an ineffectual geriatric commie rat bastard, but he rode the "OMFG, we have to nominate anyone but Hillary!" wave to striking distance of becoming the next George McGovern.
I hope he fights to the bitter end in the Democratic convention, and then runs as an independent. If he can help to prevent another Clinton regime, it will be the first worthwhile thing he's done in his entire life of public disservice.
I had a customer some years ago who was an oncologist. He told me that the reason we see so much cancer these days is that we live long enough to get cancer.
The platform has quite a lot of compression options available in the libraries, so that developers can choose the appropriate methods for the task at hand. Putting compression in the file system is a "one size fits all" approach, and we can do better than that.
Sorry to break it to you, but sometimes there are lose-lose situations.
Sorry to break it to YOU, but abject helplessness is an idiotic survival strategy. If you can't return fire, you're done for. If you can return fire, your chances of stopping the attack go from nil to non-nil.
If you build a device and set it in motion to cause harm to another person, you're committing the crime of assault and battery. If it inflicts deadly harm, then you're a murderer.
I'd say that shows very clearly that depending on the cops for protection is a losing strategy. If you want to protect yourself, your friends and loved ones, and innocent people around you, you should carry at all times.
Those assholes should have been out of business back when they stole that iPhone prototype and tried to destroy the career of the engineer they stole it from. Peter Thiel has performed a great public service.

WTF? Was it some kind of special rare antique lawn tractor or something?

"Crooked Hillary" is a very succinct description of that corrupt, power-hungry, incompetent, and self-absorbed bitch.
BTW, what does a Crooked Hillary astroturfer get paid for sniveling on slashdot these days?

There are also rumors about the next iPhone being waterproof. One less connector to seal up makes that easier to do.

Too little evidence.
You're an idiot. Evidence abounds of the efficiency of free markets versus planned economies.

I can't decide if Brennan is stupid, or if he thinks everyone else is stupid.
These are not mutually exclusive.

Cause the Clinton years were just sooo bad.
Bill Clinton was thwarted by a Republican congress. He wanted to tax, borrow and spend as much as any other Democrat.
