right? Aside from a few folks who personally lost relatives to gun violence nobody favors gun control more stringent then "No Bazookas". Seriously, nobody's coming for your AR-15. It's been 8 years and 'Bama doesn't have your guns yet. Gun control is an issue kept alive by the right and the NRA to a) sell guns (Obama was great for their bottom line) and b) get you to ignore economic issues and let them go on draining you for all it's worth.
The left started to drop the issue in the 90's when Mr Clinton pointed out nobody wanted it. The issue had gained some traction in the 70s and 80s mostly because the anti-violence advocates formed an alliance with the racists (who were none to pleased that cheap manufacturing made guns affordable to the Black Panthers). The those racists got over their fears of Black guys with Guns, the alliance collapsed and the issue was lost.
See here for why. Oh, and if by "anyone else" you don't include George Bush Jr (22million emails deleted) then you might be getting closer to the truth. Still way, way the fuck off it, but closer.
Go read this. There's plenty of good reason not to prosecute Hilary. Not the least of which is that a conviction was virtually impossible.
Another person on this thread made a good point. What Hilary did was basically speeding. Just about everyone in gov't does it. If there wasn't a right wing hate machine pumping stories about her misdeeds non-stop you wouldn't have even noticed. They've been after her for 20 years because they don't want her to be president. Think about that. A lot of very wealthy, very powerful folks with a long history of being shmucks don't want her to be president. If that's the the most ringing endorsement I've ever heard I don't know what the fuck is. You wanna stick it to somebody? Vote Hilary. You'll piss off way more people and who are way more powerful than you or I'll ever be.
We can prosecute Hilary for a few emails right right we finish sentencing Dick Cheney for war crimes, the thousands of dead American Soldiers and the hundreds of thousands (look it up, it's a hard number to believe) number of civilian Iraqi deaths.
Also, go read this while your at it. Say what you will, but no jury alive would convict Hilary save for one hand picked by Karl Rove, and even then I'd give even odds.
and if my mommy punished me for something that she let my brother do all fucking day long I would be justifiable pissed off. Our point is that _your_ being irrational. You're holding Clinton to a much, much higher standard because _you_don't_like_her. Personally. The one being irrational here aren't us libtards. It's you guys.
So when you're done letting that fear of Clinton ground into you by a multi-billion dollar right wing political machine get the best of you then you can join us at the big boy table and be genuinely terrified of a Mike Pence Shadow Presidency and the resulting supreme court.
if it was anyone else but Hilary this would be a non issue. The 22 million emails that "disappeared" during the Bush Jr presidency prove that beyond all doubt.
She's neither. She's a pragmatist. She ran a private email server to hide her daily doings from her enemies. Which are legion since she's a right of center progressive with a chance to up end the non-stop crazy train of right wing madness we've been on since you asshats got hoodwinked by Reagan's charm.
Bush Jr deleted 22 million emails to cover up misconduct in Iraq but nobody says he's a bad guy (well, nobody that matters). Face it, you're just repeating right wing talking points that have been crammed down your throat for 20 years in a desperate effort to torpedo Hilary's political career. Hey, you know what, maybe Hilary's not perfect. Who the fuck is. But we can, and just might, do a hell of a lot worse. Unless you are a white, heterosexual Christian male with a fondness for looking down on minorities you do _not_ want whatever the hell Mike Pence and his orange sock puppet are selling.
Can you quote the statue? The FBI decided they couldn't convict Hilary, but you make it sound so pat and obvious. And I didn't see any of you there ready to prosecute Reagan and Bush Jr (who deleted 22 _million_ (que Dr Evil pinky) email to cover up misconduct in Iraq). We can prosecute Hillary just as soon as we get done throwing Cheney in jail for the rest of his life.
and a Bureaucrat. She's one of the folks who actually governs and shit (as opposed to shmucks like Ted Cruz & Paul Ryan who just wanna tear it all down so they can put their own power structures in place. Seriously, if you think those bastards care one whit about freedom you must be smoking something the Libertarians want legalized).
The odds are much, much more likely that she didn't recall asking about a server 7 bloody years ago. She doesn't think about computers all day long like your average/. nerd. They're tools. Means to an end. Would you keep track of every screwdriver you put a beige box together with?
But hey, anything to stop that crazy bitch from getting into office, right? You'll even vote a crazed orange cheeto and religious whackjob in. Oh, and if you want horrifying conspiracy theories try googling the phrase Donald Trump 13 year old girl. Hey, I'm just asking questions, right?
More Gov't != More corruption unless you let it be. And no, you won't reign in corruption by having less gov't. Nature abhors a vacuum, and all you'll do is create a power vacuum into which the mega rich will flood like noxious gas. This is how it was for 5 thousand years of recorded history.
Liberty isn't messy, but it's complex and you have to be willing to pay for it _for_everyone_. Let me emphasize that some more: FOR EVERYONE. That means when somebody ask (usually in a whinny voice) "But who's gonna pay for it?" the answer is: You are. That's the price you pay for civilization. If you don't like it go bugger the fuck off and live in the Ozarks or something so the rest of us can have a civilization please.
And speaking of quotes the worst thing I ever heard was: "I'm from the gov't and I'm hear to help". It wasn't uttered by a G-man (one of those paid for my buddy's insulin so his Type-1 Diabetes didn't kill him) it was shat out by some right wing scoundrel who wanted his billionaire boss' taxes cut.
at the rate she's going she's going to win and while she's not exactly Bernie Sanders what she _is_ is an old school progressive in the form of Richard Nixon (who, for all the horrible things he did is practically Karl Marx by today's standards). There's a very good chance she really will reign in the worst of the corruption. And that means lots and lots of complex laws because in in the real world you can't solve something as complex as fiduciary misconduct with simple no-nonsense gut solutions. At least not without resorting to the kind of violence Americans have already shown they don't have the balls for.
and AnyDVD. Can you still rip your own dvds? I know Disney did all sorts of nasty crap to DVDs to make them hard to rip (I used to rip the ones I bought and give the rips to the kids so I didn't have to buy them again in 4 months when they got hopelessly scratched, kids are grown so I don't bother anymore).
for folks who don't use snapchat? I've read two articles and I still don't get it. Is this just something you can just put over a picture you post to the service? What keeps me from taking a photo of a dog's butt with it? I guess it at least still gets the "Crooked Hilary" meme out there though.
Or does this sound like somebody got their job from an uncle or maybe because they know a Lord or something (forgive me, I'm a yank) and is just looking for something to do?
If you're parents make $49k/yr you won't get the super low interest loans. If their credit is good (like mine) you'll get 10.5%. I just did this for my kid. If their credit is shit (say because they've been living off credit cards and scored an OK job 1 year before the kids hit college) you are all kinds of fucked. There were plenty of folks offering me 15% loans. The worse your credit the higher the loan amount.
We've been gutting education funding for 20 years. This is the result. College really is un-affordable for some. But since it's been affordable for most for 50 years nobody believes you when you tell them that. Humans only seem to learn from direct personal experience. When the economy tanked and outsourcing accelerated I remember seeing all these guys I know go off and try to get some of that gov't cheese they were sure was out there for them to snack on until another gig to come along. You wouldn't believe how bitter they were when they found out it wasn't there.
a real University won't do that. That's just one of the more obvious differences. Recruiters know this. Even in the mid 90s ITT was worse than useless on your resume. It told recruiters you were gullible and possibly lazy. Nevermind the fact that rampant H1-B abuse, automation and the shit economy caused by income inequality has let employers be so choosy about employees that you either get a degree from a major university or a McJob.
Yes, real University's will lie about the real cost of college. My kid just hit college and I can personally confirm that. They'll also lie about how much financial aid you can get and hit you up for more $$$ 2 months in. They suck. But they suck because we let the right wing in this country defund them in a vain crusade against gov't waste that started in the 90s.
Restore the federal funding that was pulled to line the pockets of the 1% and problem solved. Public Universities go back to being an extraordinary value for everyone (including society at large) and b.s. diploma mills like ITT wither and die in the market (and not just because Obama calls them on their scams).
Slashdot Mirror
and this is a good place.
I vote early. If you can't vote early in your state it's because somebody doesn't want you to. Let that thought sink in for a moment.
they never bother reading it so I've just been drawing squiggles on them and charging $500 bucks for a high detail tattoo.
those people aren't easily replaceable. Do something about the billionaires who own our politics and you might have a point. But good luck with that.

It's a distributed trust network, right? Why would banks that survive on trust want that distributed?
"Shortly after the charges were filed last week, Traeger pleaded guilty to a felony count of unauthorized access to a protected computer"
So yeah, those over broad hacking laws. Kinda sad to see 'em used for something I agree with.
Govt has no such monopoly. You have every right to self defense. Govt monopolizes the rule of law. Otherwise you get lynch mobs and witch hunts.
Why not vote for Cruz then as a write in? It Jill Stein. She's also unpopular with mainstream political circles...
and AnyDVD. Can you still rip your own dvds?
