    Both candidates have specific, well-laid-out proposals which anyone can find.

    Yes, except Trump's proposals are all to women he's trying to feel up.

    Do you know Trump's well-laid-out plan for international trade? Do you know his well-though-out plan for dealing with the deficit? Can you name a single bit of legislation that Trump said he would push besides term limits? The policy papers on his website read like one of those sample Powerpoint presentations written in Latin. And all he has to say for himself is that whatever he's going to do, it'll be, "tremendous". Since I've had four years of high school Latin, I happen to know the root of the word, "tremendous" and let me tell you, it's a disgrace, believe me. Sad!

    Trump is a fraud of a fake of a fugazi. If you go to his website, not even that is real. He's got a ticker running across the top showing donations "in real time" and it turns out that it's just a loop that was put up weeks ago and if you look at the code for his site, it's a script that calls an XML file named, "Sample_donations". He's a fucking Potempkin village in a fright wig. He's a creation of the media and not one thing more.

  3. Not that there was ever that much good on 4chan to begin with, but what there was was really good.

    I agree, but I also see it as a social experiment that was doomed to failure because anarchic social interaction will always result in the very few who have never learned to play well with others believing they have the right - even the permission - to poison the public well.

    There was never a mechanism to clap back at the shitlords, in other words.

  4. Most of the hookers along Cermak Road are fake, too. I wouldn't know personally, of course, but I heard that from a guy.

    And not that there's anything wrong with it, but if you find yourself on Cermak Road after 2am, try to keep an open mind.

  5. You're wasting your breath, ScentCone. Guys like him have declared war on the Internet because Twitter took away Milo Yiannopoulos' blue checkmark, and some female video game critic gave Bayonetta a 7.5/10.

    This is the nihilism that online anonymity and toxic 4chan culture has engendered. They're terrorists who are simply too lazy to leave their moms' basements. That they see themselves as some sort of shit-posting freedom fighters would be very funny if it wasn't so tragic and pitiable.

  6. Also these installations are being subsidized by the federal government for tax credits. So they are really not doing this to be green but to save tax dollars at the expenses of the American public.

    It's disgraceful. It's not like they got those tax credits in an honest way, like losing money running casinos.

    Rooftop solar is good energy policy: domestic, local, distributed. Add in on-site storage, and you have a real winner, as the maximum solar penetration can safely go from 15% to 45% of peak load(/circuit capacity). For bonus points, add in pollution, and fuel cells even start to make good sense at a reasonable penetration. I am working on a couple new buildings now with a combined PV system of about 1MW... for pretty small buildings in the scheme of things.

    I love how your best defense of Hillary is that she's basically a Republican.

    My best defense of Hillary is that she's basically not Donald Trump. That is my criteria, in a nutshell.

  15. No, I know exactly the opposite.

    So where is the evidence of Bill Clinton's sexual assaults? Are you sure it's not the same unsubstantiated claims?

    Be a man and give us the actual evidence.

    Personally, I tend to believe women who say they've been assaulted. That's why I'm voting for the candidate who did not commit sexual assault.

  16. What we don't have any evidence of is the actual attack.

    Ah, good. You do know there's also no evidence of any "actual attacks" by Bill Clinton, right? Lewinsky was consensual, by her own testimony.

    Now we're finally getting down to business. Either we believe women or we don't. Juanita Broderick came foward twenty years after she claimed Bill Clinton attacked her. If you want to take sexual assault off the table for both candidates, I'm all for that. People have already made up their minds about Bill and Donald, anyway. All this stuff is baked into the cake.

    Depends what they get for that money, doesn't it? If it helps them keep doing business with the US instead of getting called on human rights abuses, it doesn't look like a great deal.

    Ah yes, since you Jesuit guys did the same for a couple of thousand years, so you must have many insights to the process.

    First, what the fuck are you talking about? Second, I wend to Jesuit high school and undergrad. That doesn't make me a Jesuit.

  19. The most they can corroborate is that "Stoynoff said Trump attacked her"

    You miss something. Stoynoff told them Trump attacked her, at the time Trump attacked her. At very least, it sets to bed the notion that she only made up the story now because of the election. At the time of Trump's sexual assault on Stoynoff, there was no indication that he was going to ever run for president. In fact, at the time, the very notion would have seemed ridiculous.

    "Marina Grasic, who has known Stoynoff for more than 25 years, says she got a call from her friend the day after the attack. Stoynoff detailed everything about the attack, from Trump pushing her against a wall to the business mogul showing up at her massage appointment the following day, she says.

    According to Grasic, her longtime friend was embarrassed and even thought of Trump’s then-pregnant wife when deciding not to come forward about the encounter."

    and...

    “She was particularly concerned that if he was capable of such behavior, what else was he capable of? Certainly character assassination by a powerful man was of great concern to her, which seems warranted in light of what Trump is saying about her this week. She ultimately decided to stay quiet but be taken off the Trump beat.”

    Stoynoff’s former journalism professor, Paul McLaughlin, says that the writer called him in tears looking for advice the very night of the harrowing encounter. However, he cautioned her to remain quiet in fear of how Trump may retaliate.

    A young writer doesn't ask to be taken off a cushy gig covering the rich and famous unless there's some problem.

    Are 2 children helped in Africa helped by the Clinton Foundation worth the homosexual that was hung by some Saudis?

    My Jesuit education tells me that the Saudis were going to hang that homosexual anyway. Taking their money and using it for some good is a gain. It's money that they can't use for buying fighters from American military contractors.

    It's similar to the question of whether missionaries should help people in countries that are run by dictators. In one way, it helps the dictator, in many others, it helps actual people and their families who would just as soon not live in a dictatorship.

    On the other hand, we now have top US evangelical leaders saying that Donald Trump sits on the Right Hand of God, so we need to take that into consideration vis-a-vis the moral choice for president.
