  1. Clinton is no longer a government employee, and probably doesn't care if she ever has a clearance again

    No, she doesn't need security clearance, she's just going to be the fucking president of the United States.
    Thornley, you are the biggest and dumbest Hillary shill on earth.

    He lied under oath about ...

    "Lying under oath" is more commonly referred to as "perjury", and perjury is a felony.
    The laws regarding perjury make no distinction regarding what the perjury is about.
    As a lawyer, Clinton knew that.

    but it is equally valid to say Hillary gets investigated over it when nobody else does.

    Anybody with Top Secret clearance would be investigated, and likely sanctioned for putting secret documents sit on an unsecured server.

    The FBI couldn't find that her sloppy handling of classified material had actually allowed a leak.

    I bought an '03 Honda Pilot in '08 with 180K on it. It now has more than 300K.

    I have put maybe $400-$600 a year into servicing (apart from constants like oil changes, new tires every 4 years, etc).
    If you are paying a lot more than that, then:
    1. improve your yearly maintenance
    2. buy a Honda

    However, it can swerve left or swerve right. One direction means a head-on collision, the other means mowing down a dozen pedestrians

    Simple:
    1. never swerve into a lane that isn't empty.
    2. never break traffic laws, Therefore, swerving into an oncoming lane, or a sidewalk, is forbidden.
    This means that on a two-lane road, the only option is to brake like hell. If that kills or injures someone, too bad.

    I don't believe this issue will ever come up.
    Instead, if the vehicle senses an obstacle ahead (any obstacle)
    it will check to see if there is an open lane to the right or left.
    If so, it will swerve into that lane.
    Otherwise, it will hit the brakes as hard as it can and hope for the best.

    This way, the decision of what to do becomes purely mechanical.
    Having the vehicle make decisions regarding the probable long-term results of the action is foolish.
