More like per your slight-of-hand. Or didn't you think anyone would notice that you're using a quote about bombing Afghanistan when the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia to suggest that 911 couldn't have been stopped by the FBI?
A market-based "solution" to health care has been a GOP idea since Republicans first proposed it in '92, as an alternative to the Clinton plan. This results in awkward questions for partisan tribalists on both sides of the aisle:
Republicans, if Obamacare is the worst thing since Satan, did y'alls vote for Clinton in '92 and '96 when Obamacare was pushed by Herbert Walker Bush and then Robert Dole?
Democrats, if Obamacare is the greatest thing since sliced bread, why weren't you all out campaigning for Mitt Romney over Obama in the 2008 election, since Romney was the first executive to sign an Obamacare-type plan into law?
Do you think Hillary's private email server is not a HUGE deal?
Yes, yes I do. Did you think it was a BFD when Karl Rove was also hiding communications behind private email servers, when it was "their guys" in office?
Does the way the IRS politicized it's work was no big deal?
They didn't, you brain dead partisan tribalist, you.Both liberal and conservative groups were scrutinized by the IRS, and the only one to actually be denied tax-exempt status was a liberal one.
Why don't you move out to a deserted island, along with the Obamabots and Hillbots, and fight out your double-standards and hypocrisy to leave the rest of us alone, eh?
Government is an evil structure by its very definition, as it is set up to provide the collective with violent means of dominating an individual. Whatever system that is fundamentally based on violence can not and will not avoid using violence to increase its own power, and blah blah blah blah
As much as starting your own business means you will sexually harass your female employees, defraud your investors, dump toxic waste in the river, and join the international slave trade. For what some businesses have done, all businesses will do.
That's either equally brilliant as your assertion that government = evil, or equally asinine.
Another problem left out of your Randian storyline: look back at the worst Soviet agency, program or institution you could name, and its bureaucrats wouldn't have a direct, personal incentive to cut corners the way capitalists do. Because, as you Randians constantly tell us, socialism/communism leads to lazy, unproductive workers that have guaranteed jobs and salaries no matter how little they work. As opposed to capitalists, who choose to leave people with cancer,disembowelment or death to save a buck (or less) on products that cost thousands of dollars.
When Assange surrenders to the UK authorities & then does his prison time for jumping bail & is then extradited to Sweden as anyone else would be, THEN it will be about the Swedish rape charges.
You mean when Sweden makes it clear it's about fucking rape, and nothing but the rape, you 50 pounds-of-dumbfuck-in-a-five-pound-sack idiot. Every time you open your mouth, you add another 10 pounds to the sack. Since the previous 18 demonstrations of what a goosestepping fool you are have gone over your head, lets go for 19:
Like the boy who cried wolf, you lose the right to be butthurt when anyone questions your honesty and motives, after you've proven your motives and honesty should be questioned.
Sweden has turned people over to the CIA to be tortured, and the only person who has been sent to prison for the CIA's torture program is the man who revealed its existence. So not only is Assange's demand that he not be handed over to the CIA not unreasonable, he'd have to have a whole in his head not to demand such a condition.
This really isn't hard to understand, even for a goosestepping fool such as yourself. If the cops want to question you for alleged drug possession, it would seem crazy to insist that they don't sexually assault you with multiple colonoscopies, over the better part of the day, just to show that you aren't actually hiding drugs up your ass. Unless the warrant is from Hidalgo County, where the cops have been known to do just that.
Those cops have completely lost the right to act indignant and butthurt over being asked for such a guarantee, since they've done exactly what the suspect is accusing them of doing. And it would be the easiest thing in the world for an honest DA to say "fine, we wont shove a probe up your ass time and time again". But we aren't dealing with honest prosecutors.
As Assange has already raped in all probability two women I can see why pedophilia is a likely next step for him, one you seem eager to emulate given your fixations and how you worship him.
Then. They. Would. Make. It. About. Rape. If. It. Was. About. Rape. But thanks for making it clear you don't actually give a shit about rape, by not giving a shit about rape far worse, and far more widespread than anything Assange is accused of doing. You Nazi shit-for-brains pecker head, you.
All regulations are an affront to individual freedoms and as such they are all bad.
Regulations are rules. If you oppose regulations on principle, than you oppose rules on principle. Which, by the way, throws outl your contracts and your property rights.
You Randian Jihadists might have noticed that, if your eyes hadn't started moving in independent directions the first time you finished Atlas Wanked.
Did Clinton email classified material to anyone? I know there were classified documents on her server, which isn't good, but did she send any?
Much of the work is inherently classified. If Obama picks up the phone and dials Ashton Carter over at DOD, that conversation doesn't need to be marked classified, because it's classified by nature. Same goes for Hillary's work at State...if she sent or received an email about the nuclear programs of India or Pakistan, nobody had to mark it top secret because it was "born" classified.
Hillary, as an Original Classification Authority, knew this full well. She received special special training above and beyond other officials at the State Department on the classification of information. Thus, her attempt to move the goalposts by claiming none of the emails she sent contained information that was marked classified, which is a red herring.
Have you noticed the security rating large government departments get? I'm not at all confident that a State Department server would have been any more secure.
Yes, but have you noticed that the Hillbots pushing this defense are comparing breaches of non-classified systems (like Social Security) with classified systems (like the CIA)? Besides, if Hillary had used a government system, and that system was breached....that lands on whatever official was in charge of said system.
Whereas if Hillary's private email server was hacked by xyz, that's all on......Hillary. If you were SOS, would you want that axe to fall on your head, or someone else's head?
Then take the Extraordinary possibility of extradition to the United States off the table, and make it be about the goddamn rape, if it's actually about rape. Glad you stopped gargling James Clapper's balls long enough to see reason.
You're assuming that a militarily strong US hasn't been a source of stabilty for the rest of the world
You're assuming I never stepped outside of the naivete cultured in elementary schools.
Many would argue that a strong US (perhaps demonstrated by the last decade of weakness from the USA and current state or world affairs) generally means good things for the world at large.
By overthrowing dozens of democracies around the world? Sending CIA death squads to murder socialists? Trying to start World War Three in Syria? The United States has been a force for stability as much as Ted Bundy had positive interactions with women.
Under which president did the torture and persecution of Bradley Manning occur? Which president has used the Espionage Act to prosecute more whisteblowers than all other presidents combined, times too?
This is just another transparently false excuse from Assange attempting to hide the real reason he's hiding: He raped two women & doesn't want to be condemned for it.
Then. Call. His. Bluff. And. Promise. Not. To. Hand. Him. Over. To. The. United. States.
But that would require Swedish authorities, and people such as yourself, to stop being tools and fools for American hegemony for two seconds.
By all appearances, Biden is itching to get into the race.
Then he would have gotten into the race. And done so a year ago, like Hillary. He sucks up to all the same corrupt interests that she does, but Biden, like Bill Clinton and Obama before him, has some charisma to sell the same old shit taco to his base.
Biden might want the presidency, but he clearly doesn't want what it takes to be the president-elect. Otherwise, he would have thrown his hat in the ring.
She did what Rice and Powell did before her. But it's only a problem when she does it. Why?
Why do partisan tribalists have such short term memory? Elected Democrats raised hell when the Bush Administration was using private email servers to hide information from the public and from investigators. Democrats like....Hillary Clinton:
"Our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House email accounts," Clinton said. "It's a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent."
I hate to break it to you, Biden is going to be in this race.
Why would he, at his age? At this point in his life, he gets to be the cool laid back uncle democrat (forget that whole writing the Patriot Act thing and other skeletons). People will buy him a beer, ask him to campaign around the country, pay him a hundred thousand to give a speech....dude's got it made. He's going to be a rich assed fuck for the rest of his life - not as rich as the Clinton's, or as rich as Obama will be, but the guy has it made.
Why throw that way for a year of high-stress campaigning, and then four years of governing? No, Biden only enters the race if Hillary implodes, and the DNC needs an equally corrupt supporter of the status quo, but one that actually has a personality, to come to the rescue.
Dafuk? She commissioned the email server, how is she not responsible for it?
She can't be secretary of state and across the latest security requirements for a PC.
Non sequitur. Do you go bowling with the dead end Bushbots who came up with the lamest excuses for their corruption, when it was their guys the White House?
The one about not sending any classified information, just for starters. As an Original Classification Authority, Hillary knew full well that much of her communications were, to quote a government official, "born classified."
"I did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. There is no classified material"
Pants on fire.
Nobody has proven a lie about that, or Monica, or Whitewater, or any of the other politically motivated witch hunts.
Ah, yes, conflation. Pointing out Hillary's naked hypocrisy is totally the same thing as investigating the death of Vince Foster for the 7000th time. In the same way that complaining about Obama letting the banks get away with the greatest fraud in the history of the world, while blowing up kids with drones on the other side of the world, is totally the same thing as going on about birth certificates.
I hear this assertion over and over again, but what I've never heard is any proof, or anything resembling proof that it's true.
It's the entire reason to do so. Republicans established this when they were the corrupt bastards in the White House, and Karl Rove was running a private White House email server. At the time, Democrats raised hell over this, mocking GOP excuses with the catchphrase IOKIYAR - it's okay if you're a Republican. Top Democrats called it outright corruption to hide information on private servers....Democrats like Hillary Clinton:
"Our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House email accounts," Clinton said. "It's a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent."
How about four laws/regulations. Now, please tell me you've heard of David Petraeus, the CIA director who was prosecuted for....mishandling classified information.
Because killing 2,606 in the WTC should just be forgotten.
Hey. American Exceptionalist. If the rest of the world held the U.S. to that standard, the entire American population would have been exterminated decades ago. Because you can take the above number, add four zeros to it, double that number, and you have a good approximation of the number of deaths the U.S. is responsible for since WWII.

As much as you are in favor of re-legalizing slavery because it would make some businessmen some money, sure.
So you're one of the laureates who inspired this video. Enjoy your cholera.

So you think centuries of trading slaves from Africa was a great thing, because it made some businessmen some money? Makes as much sense.
Also pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, as anecdotes tend to be.
Regulations are rules. If you oppose regulations on principle, than you oppose rules on principle. Which, by the way, throws outl your contracts and your property rights.

Then take the Extraordinary possibility of extradition to the United States off the table, and make it be about the goddamn rape, if it's actually about rape. Glad you stopped gargling James Clapper's balls long enough to see reason.
By the way, you guys wouldn't be so obviously full of shit if you weren't all a bunch of single-rape activists. Assange and Manning revealed Hillary's State Department covering up a contractor that bought boys to be raped for our Afghan "allies". Or that these same boy-fuckers are still allowed to rape kids on U.S. military bases.
But hey, it was never really about rape for you guys, was it?
You're assuming I never stepped outside of the naivete cultured in elementary schools.
