Using the number of Americans"not in the work force" is inaccurate and dishonest. That 95 million number includes both my parents, who are retired and living in a nursing home; my 18 month old grand daughter and my 8-year old son in elementary school; and my wife who is a traditional home maker and not interested in outside work.
It's not "inaccurate and dishonest" when compared to historical values. It always included the types of people you mention - kids and housewives, retired people, the disabled... The point is In recent years the percentage of people not in the workforce has grown relative to what it was. And the damning part is growth among demographics that use to be almost entirely working, e.g. men in their 30s.
You don't think it's possible Comey has come into possession of clear evidence of criminal behavior on Clinton's part? Evidence that's too strong to ignore? If that's the case he can't wait until after the election, or he'll go down in history as the man who threw the election of 2016.
Not true. They knew they had a deadly STD on their hands and they knew he was infected. And they told him. Between that time and his death he had unprotected sex with more than 250 men. He knew he had "the gay cancer" and even told a guy, after sex, "now you have it too". That's pathological lack of empathy, not a lack of information.
Yeah, we may not be able to blame Dugas for bringing AIDS to the US, but the man was a psychopath. He had unprotected sex with hundreds of men after he was made aware of the fact he had "gay cancer", a fatal infectious disease spread by sexual contact.
As the candidate running for president has a leadership role in the party, and leadership makes the party views, they are by definition conservative views when expressed as view of conservative leadership.
No, actually, that's not how it works. Trump is not a conservative. The Republican party, which, although it does include some conservative politicians, is not run by conservatives.
They are ugly, selfish, repugnant views that most people find abhorrent, but they cannot simply be written off as "no true scotsman.
You might be surprised to find people on the other side of the aisle find your views just as ugly, selfish, and repugnant, though they aren't far enough down the authoritarian rabbit hole to try to censor your speech. They will come around eventually, though, if you and your ilk persist.
This is just ahistorical revisionism. Hitler was never opposed to socialism. I realize socialists don't want to face the truth, but you can't lie your way out of associations.
People like you accept that, you understand that, hey, maybe the 2 candidates this time around aren't the best, but I'm sure it will be different next time.
I've been around long enough to realize stamping my feet, shaking my fist at the cruel universe, and refusing to vote does fuck all. You want to have more effect than just voting? You could get involved in party politics at the local level.
But no. That would be work. How could you maintain your indolent sense of dormroom superiority if you actually got involved?
Which says nothing at all about the truthfulness of the allegations.
It's weird. I remember when a sitting president was sued for sexual assault, and at the time Democrats didn't seem to find the allegations credible. Nor the rape allegations. Well, I'm sure they had their reasons beyond just, you know, rank hypocrisy.
If you really knew what you were talking about, if you "learn[ed] what a fascist is", you'd realize fascism was fundamentally a leftist movement. They didn't call it National Socialism for shits and giggles.
McCain has this schtick he does every six years, where he makes a hard right turn (as he understands it, anyway) in the months leading up to the primaries, and then after he's back in office it's all about "reaching across the aisle". None of it fools the people who pay attention, but between that and the powers of the incumbent it seems like enough to get him reelected. I'd bet any amount of money McCain not only votes for Clinton's court nominees, but is among the first to support them.
Retard I'm going to try one last time. You need to put down the kool-aid and realizing the impossibility of the shit coming out of your mouth, much less going around in that shit sack thing you call a brain.
I see that word salad and all it says to me is "I am an idiot." But go ahead, try one more time to salvage a position you've been remiss in articulating, assuming you have one.
Trump fails to appreciate all American ideals, he is the definition of anti-american and his BS tagline shows it. America never stopped being great, it advanced over the inbred retards that couldn't learn new skills.
You don't have any idea what "American ideals" are. You also don't get to have your own version of history. In the real world the US has allowed different amounts of legal immigration at different times, and it wasn't until the 90s that we looked the other way as millions of illegals poured over the border. You'll notice, if you pay attention, real wages for workers in the US went up the fastest when immigration was heavily restricted. Also, the idea that everyone who didn't have the advantages you have is somehow a retard is, well, retarded.
H1B visas are restricted to situations with no local laborers, that's the point of it.
Hahahahaha. Seriously, do you live under a rock? You can't have read slashdot for very long without realizing how this works - the postings that never get posted, and the jobs that are wired for cheap foreign labor. But that wasn't my hypothetical, anyway. I'm positing the government either changes the rules such that companies can bring in whoever they want, or (a better corollary) they just ignore the rules and let companies break the law with impunity. You lose your job because you can't compete with an unlimited supply of 22-year-olds who are willing to work around the clock for almost nothing. I'll bet my last dollar you'd be singing a different tune about adaptation.

Yep. Andy Grove famously did just that back when people didn't take it so seriously.
For decades I've wondered how many more top-notch chemists we'd have if you were still allowed to have that kind of fun.
Reading comprehension much?
I thought that was the difference between U3 and U6.

Do you really believe the stuff you type? Who was in office when Al-Qaeda attacked the WTC the first time?
I'm old enough to remember when they wanted to face Reagan. I guess you need to be careful what you wish for.
The movie didn't have much in the way of "cerebral aspects". Read the book - it's an easy read and not very long.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Conservative enough for what?
No, actually, that's not how it works. Trump is not a conservative. The Republican party, which, although it does include some conservative politicians, is not run by conservatives.

So what's your idea? That if you don't vote for one of them, magically you'll be given more choices? I assure you that's not going to happen.
I can't help it if you're fundamentally ignorant. You've been mal-educated and you don't even know what you don't know.
Which says nothing at all about the truthfulness of the allegations.

He donated $2000. It's not like he gave the ten million or anything.
Don't forget Clinton's position on Assange: "Can't we just drone this guy"?
If you represented his positions honestly that would be a much more difficult argument to make.
McCain has this schtick he does every six years, where he makes a hard right turn (as he understands it, anyway) in the months leading up to the primaries, and then after he's back in office it's all about "reaching across the aisle".

He's been doing this for ages. Decades, at least.
Oh, gee, an unsupported allegation against a presidential candidate in an election year. What a horrible person this Trump guy must be.
Not really, no. I supported other candidates in primaries. But hey, thanks for playing.
I see that word salad and all it says to me is "I am an idiot." But go ahead, try one more time to salvage a position you've been remiss in articulating, assuming you have one.
