Why does she get off with just paying a fine if she committed "massive fraud"? Shouldn't there be a little jail time involved, too? I'm not saying she's gotta do life, but maybe five years and then community service.

One obvious problem is that your link makes a claim but doesn't back it up in any way. There's no list of the ">500" companies that Trump ran, just a claim that he did.
It's a complete sham. It was never a "top result" on Google or any other search engine. Don't try to spread that stuff here and expect that no one will point out that it's complete bullshit.
Did I mention Abu Ghraib? What is it with Red Herring fallacies that makes you keep using them?
The conversation is about waterboarding. There was a great deal of waterboarding at Abu Ghraib and in fact, the Abu Ghraib story was how a lot of Americans learned about waterboarding in the first place.
You know very well that's not a "red herring". You make the mistake of thinking that debating techniques that work over at/TheDonald will work in the real world. You're in for a surprise.
Why would I even make up something like that? What would I profit?
Why are you asking me? Maybe you can't help yourself. Maybe like most Trump loyalists, you believe that if you make some outrageous claim nobody will check.
It's a question you have to answer for yourself, friend. Do some soul searching. But I guarantee you will not find the answer at/The_Donald. Hanging out there is h ow you got to the point you're at now.
*goes on another thread 3 seconds later to whine about the importance of net neutrality*
Net Neutrality doesn't have anything to do with the content of websites. It's entirely about how ISPs handle data and not about requiring all sites to publish all opinions.
I guess it's time to post the best definition of Net Neutrality again, because certain people I don't care to name (Jarwolf) don't seem to understand what the fuck it means.
1. Is waterboarding torture? 2. Has waterboarding ever extracted useful information? 3. What great harm does waterboarding do to those performing it? Please provide some factual info, not just your opinion
"In 1986, psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton interviewed Nazi doctors who participated in human experimentation and mass killings. Lifton concluded that after years of exposure, many of the doctors experienced psychological damage similar in intensity to that of their victims. Anxiety, intrusive traumatic memories, and impaired cognitive and social functioning were all common consequences."
The list of people who have either quit or have been escorted out of the White House by security continues to grow. The Trump administration has broken all records in regard to staff turnover, and it's only been a year.
Rex Tillerson was ill a couple days ago and I wonder if the fake news media is blowing this up as a ouster when in fact Tillerson is being replaced due to health reasons.
Tillerson has already said he doesn't know the reason he was fired.
Terrorists are murdering innocent people and she's torturing murderers. Murderers don't care about the people they murder so why should we care about them?
Because torture does not work and it ultimately does great harm to the torturers. I would cite moral reasons, but I get the impression from your question that morality is not an issue with you.
These days, I do set my TV to turn off after an hour or so when I close my eyes to go to sleep
I do the same thing with music. For some reason (and I'm serious) German opera playing very softly puts me to sleep quick. Act II of Parsifal by Wagner is particularly effective. When those four notes from the "What is the grail?" motif play, it's like a hypnotist snapping his fingers and I'm out like a light. Certain records by ambient artists are also very good.
There is something very special that happens in your brain when it is in a half-waking state and it hears music.
Ok now do the same for sleep deprivation and forced isolation beyond any real world security risk to the point of mental health and actual health issues, plus beatings and the rest.
OK, here goes.
Because prison is for longer sentences, inmates make more of an effort to survive, and to survive you need sleep. It can be quieter at night in prisons because people housed there know they're going to be there for a while.
In a jail, there are more health issues. There's a lot more acting-out. Inmates only have a limited time to establish their place in the pecking order, so there's more competition. Prisons have more established social structures.
Plus as someone else here has pointed out, local law enforcement tends to be less professional and more corrupt, so they promote a violent, zoo-like environment. For examples, see "Sheriff Clarke" and "Sheriff Joe Arpaio". The vast majority of people who work in law enforcement will tell you those guy are both a disgrace.

Who the hell would sponsor such a bill?
Friends, meet Representative Doug Collins (R-GA):

So, what your saying is that it's only a matter of time before Elizabeth Holmes is named Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Way too subtle, Kyosuke. I mean, I caught the joke, but only because cultural references stick to me like gum to hair.

Why do you libs have to make everything about Donald Trump?
One obvious problem is that your link makes a claim but doesn't back it up in any way. There's no list of the ">500" companies that Trump ran, just a claim that he did.

He's firing people that he hired. So, if that's "draining the swamp" then it means that he brought the swamp with him in the first place.

So everyone the CIA brings in for waterboarding is automatically guilty?
You think Abu Ghraib was about "extracting information" and not punishment?
I guess Duck Duck Go, ixquick, and Bing are also censoring any pro-Trump search results. HOW DEEP DOES THIS RABBIT-HOLE GO?
Or, you could just be bullshitting. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
No, they didn't and no it's not. Heck, it doesn't even appear in the FIRST TEN PAGES of Google results for your suggested search.

That would explain why you're so cranky.

The distinction is not pedantic at all.
Jail is where you go when you're arrested. Prison is where you go when you're convicted. One is short term, one is long term.
There is some overlap, with jails holding prisoners with short sentences, but this rule of thumb is a good one.
