an alleged rapist. And a few times over at that. Similar to what Bill Cosby is facing a pattern emerges. Yeah, maybe it's all not true. But given his personality it still doesn't encourage me to want him President.
I assume you're also not encouraged to vote for a woman who defends her husband who is also a multiply-alleged rapist?
I too would have voted for Bernie. I will not vote for Hillary or Trump. Here's the thing: I'm not alone in that. Hillary will only get votes from Democrats. Bernie would also get votes from independents, and even some from Republicans who dislike Trump. Considering most people despise both Trump and Hillary, the only qualification a major party candidate would have to have to win would be to be neither of them.
I said she put the interests ahead of her own- not that she was stupid. Bernie couldn't beat her. He sure couldn't have beat trump.
Sure he could. Nobody likes Trump or Hillary. They are voting against the other party, not for their party. But people would actually vote for Bernie, as indicated by the polls.
You said she would put the country and party ahead of herself. If that was true, she would have told everyone to go with the sure bet on Bernie Sanders, instead of now where it's a toss-up between her and Trump. She's gambling the future of the country on her ego. Not that that's anything out of the ordinary for a politician, but it belies your claim.
You're read/heard how he underpays or fails to pay people and small contractors he's hired.
Here's another one: my PT and I were talking this morning, and he told me his father's an industrial contractor - paints bridges, drywall buildings, etc, and more than once, he's done a job for Trump, and then, when it was done, Trump comes in, says yeah, he's satisfied... but that he thinks he's already paid him enough, never mind the signed contract.
Tell me that's not criminal fraud?
He is a crook. And his wife doesn't wear a cloth coat....

First, he should sue Trump for his outstanding debts. Second, how does that saying go, fool me once...?
I saw a comment the other day that said "Voting for Johnson was like drinking RC Cola. Yeah it's ok, but who are we kidding". I think the same sentiment applies for any 3rd party candidate.
I'd say it's more like if Coca Cola and Pepsi were putting arsenic in their products, but you still drank your Coke because you don't want Pepsi to sell more product.
But it's a black and white matter. Something you're wishing it weren't.
If you vote for Clinton or Trump, you're making a simple choice - support one or the other. If you have the ability to vote, and choose to either vote for someone that cannot win or choose not to vote at all, then depending on your local demographics, you are still - through that choice - supporting either Trump or Clinton. That you're pretending otherwise means you really need to re-evaluate your own understanding of what's at stake.
It's people like you who allow the two parties to have their power. The only winning move is not to play their game. Think for yourself, and realize you are not their peon.
The trouble, is unless you go to great lengths in your due diligence, you are unlikely to discover the HOA and the HOA rules until the final stages of the transaction, when you have to sign on the dotted line, and the HOA rules are in the fine print on page 562, and you won't understand that they exist or what they mean without a consult with a real-estate attorney that has your interests at heart, and not making a quick sale.
For the house I'm currently in the process of buying, we were notified up front of the existence of an HOA, and requested and reviewed its covenants prior to continuing with the purchase.
A non-profit is just that, non-profit. It means their revenues and expenses at the end of the year balance, hence no net profit.
That doesn't mean they can't make a profit, it's just that profit is spent before the fiscal year ends so it's back to zero. Now, some non-profits are arranged so they make very little profit on what they do - thus giving lower prices to everyone, and the profit is then used to pay salaries and all that. But it doesn't have to be that - it can be making ridiculous amounts of profit and they then spend it on something else.
For an example of this, look at the College Board - they are the makers of many of the academic tests out there, and they charge an arm and a leg (ask any student who has to take the SATs). But any other standardized test is probably administered by them as well. They rake in the money, both in the tests, the study guides they sell, and many other things. So much so they spend their profit on luxury hotels and other things - as a non-profit they have to spend it all to even it out.
Of course, most credit unions are less evil and spread any profits as dividends to the members.
But when most people say non-profit, they actually just mean tax-exempt. The organization may make a net profit, but due to its nature is not taxed.
I bank with Wells Fargo because they bought the bank I was going to before, and it's a little bit of a pain in the ass to change banks. I don't pay any fees for my various accounts there. I also don't keep very much money there, because their interest rates are comparable with other national banks: 0.01% APY on a savings account, 0.05% on a CD. You can trivially do better than that with on-line options.
But, basically, inertia. I haven't had sufficient motivation to switch.
You can do at least 15-95 times better than that. 0.75% APY with CapitalOne, 0.95% APY with Discover.
I think it could be argued that since he killed his mom, Adam took the gun with the intention of permanently withholding it from her. Would that not constitute theft?

I've also hit many trees. Very few are actually left standing from an older vehicular impact - they perform the same crumple zone action as your shitter modern cars.
Protect themselves above all else. That's just not the mentality a poloce officer needs to have.
If you really think this, you're an idiot. You mean to tell me that in a potentially lethal situation I would choose my own safety first? Wow... so, why don't you share your wisdom on what they are supposed to do in a potentially lethal situation?
I would wager that most people would choose to see their family instead of incurring more unknown potentially lethal risk.
Good point. I always assumed the police motto was "serve and protect [the public]", but I guess maybe it's just "serve and protect [ourselves]".
Conservatives don't hate Obama because "Black" or Hillary because "Vagina". They hate them because of the shitty job they've done and the horrible direction this country is headed.
Bullshit. Conservatives hated Obama before he was even elected. You didn't see any liberals among the birther idiots, and that was a straight-up racist movement. And the conservatives have been hating on Hillary Clinton for over 20 years now - for no apparent reason, so one can only conclude that it is, in fact, because of "vagina".
Exactly! Conservatives only hate people based on race and sex. That's why they hate Bernie so much, too.
I think it's just a language difference. We don't typically refer to a building that contains apartments as a "house" over here. That typically implies a single-family residence.
The last Mac I owned was the first Intel MacBook. It was junk. The trim peeled off, the ethernet port wouldn't connect reliably unless you held the cable just right, the keyboard had keys that behaved funky and then the CD drive stopped working.
Worse, was taking it into Apple under warranty and finding out it'd be gone a 1-2 weeks to be fixed. Are you kidding me? 2 weeks for that? I *might* give you 24 hours if you really needed it but I would expect that kind of parts swap could be done in 2 hours or less.
Interestingly, I recently retired my 1st gen MacBook after nine years of daily use. The CD drive stopped working, and I had the case replaced once under warranty. The battery no longer holds a charge for more than 20 minutes, but plugged into a power cord it was still working well. I just wanted something faster.

Yes, there is actually. By their very definitions.
Not by people on the receiving end of that shit, it is not. That's privilege talking coming from you.
Why not just get rid of all these words that are subsets of discrimination and just call them all "bad stuff"?

3) Clinton's actions show she is willing to put the good of the party and the country ahead of her personal good.>
Then she should have told people to vote for Bernie, since he polled better against Trump.
By all means, make Trump the first into our Emperor by refusing to do what is necessary Pretty much your choice is Do for Hillary, or do TO America
Lose the war to win the battle, eh? Good plan.

It's hard to know which is worse.
It really isn't. Just because they both fall into the category of "bad" does not make them equivalently bad.
I'd rather choose a President by random number generator than elect either of these choices. We'd have a better chance of picking a good candidate.
Sure, but that still doesn't make them equivalently bad.
You're right. Each of them is bad in their own special way.

Windows 10 is anticipating the attachment of the device and prematurely crashes? That's pretty efficient.
If it said "sooner than" you would be correct. But it says "almost as soon as," which means after.

You don't even need to go used. Apple still makes the 2012 MBPro.
The "Exactly the same" argument is bunk. What's the harm in picking the lesser of two evils?
Because it tells the lesser of two evils that they don't need to stop being evil. Voting third party is the only sane option.
