    Yeah, that might be related to the fact that the media are 100% in the tank for Hillary

    And they've showed just how in the tank they are for Hillary by accurately quoting Donald Trump.

    But when it comes to Hillary Clinton's shady "I'll be your Presidential whore if you give me cash" promises to Wall Street

    Is that really what you think she said in those speeches? Have you actually read the excerpts?

    These "bombshells" Assange is dropping are duds. Even the ones that are fabricated aren't really damning. His little fan dance from the balcony has permanently destroyed his credibility and Wikileaks turning into the Cyrillic-language organ of the Alt-Right has permanently damaged theirs. And Trump continues to fall like an overstuffed garbage bag from a tenement window.

    They're not religious figures, some of us agree more with their logic than you.

    Our failures have usually been failures to adhere to principle and earlier law

    You can hardly blame anyone, since the Founding Fathers didn't adhere to their own "logic" and "principles".

    This is why, if you're really going to have the consent of the governed, you've got to give those people a way to provide consent (ie: constitutional conventions). The world is very different today than in 1789.

    Conceptually, our government was never designed to have so many government agents or taxes doing these activities on or against the citizens.

    It also wasn't designed NOT to have big government and taxes.

    This is what you get for turning the Founding Fathers into religious figures and the Constitution into religious text. We should have had at least half a dozen constitutional conventions since 1789.

  10. Are you suggesting we should avoid marginalising and discriminating against white men, in case they react and respond badly?

    Not "suggesting" anything. Just stating that mass murderers are all men.

  11. No you didn't, you wanted women and PoC.

    Here is what I said:

    "In fact, let's go back in history and find all the women who slaughtered millions of people. Find a woman leader of color, queen, empress, etc who committed mass murder. Please, go ahead. I'll wait here."

    Maybe you can do better than your compatriots.

  12. While you're at it, maybe you can wishful think the Cubs into a World Series win too.

    YOU'LL EAT THOSE WORDS YOU MONSTER.;

  13. You must have missed Biljana Plavsic's war crimes trial.

    Biljana Plavi is no more a war criminal than George Bush or Dwight Eisenhower. She fell on the sword and went to the Hague voluntarily so she would take the punishment instead of her country.

    She's a national hero in Belgrade.

    Come on. You can do better than Biljana Plavi.

  14. But you wanted minority tyrants

    No, I wanted women who are murderous tyrants who killed tens of thousands to tens of millions. But you already know that and are just trying to turn this into a race war.

    The best you can come up with is Queen Mary, who killed some 200-something four hundred and sixty-three years ago and is still compared unfavorably to "Bluff King Hal" who killed 72,000.

    Genocide is just part of male privilege, I guess.

  15. Genghis Khan, Pol Pot, Joseph Kony, Sadam Hussein, ISIS, Osama Bin Laden, and pretty much all these guys

    Those guys were pikers compared to Hitler and Stalin. And were all heterosexual men.

  16. Queen Mary I, nicknamed Bloody Mary.

    Dumb fuck. Four hundred and sixty three years ago, "Bloody Queen Mary" killed 284 heretics. Henry the VIII killed 72,000, but the nicknames are "Bloody" Queen Mary and "Bluff" King Hal.

    That's what's known as "male privilege".

    Hitler kills six million Jews, and there's still Nazi cosplay going on. Here, for example. Check these guys out at the Nevada Trump rally:

    Wait...so Obama and the Dems havetheir panties in a bunch because Russia (supposedly) just did pretty much what Yahoo just did at the behest of the Obama and the Dems.

    Are you really that stupid? Do you understand the qualitative difference between the American government operating on American soil and the Russian government operating on American soil? You believe there is a moral equivalence?

    Let's put it this way: If a cop kills a guy in the US, there might well be a discussion about excessive force, over-policing, etc etc. But if a Russian agent kills a guy in the US, it becomes a very different discussion and much different by degree. Don't you agree?

  18. Don't forget the ULTIMATE evil in the world: White HETEROSEXUAL men.

    Well, since you brought it up, if you go down the list of the most murderous tyrants in just say, the past 200 years, it's pretty much 100% heterosexual white males.

    For example, see how many women and people of color you find on this list:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Now count all the women and people of color on this list:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    In fact, let's go back in history and find all the women who slaughtered millions of people. Find a woman leader of color, queen, empress, etc who committed mass murder. Please, go ahead. I'll wait here. So at least there's a compelling argument for white heterosexual males being the ultimate evil in the world. I'm not saying I agree with the assessment, but you might want to think twice before sarcastically bringing the issue up.

    In what way are VISA Master Card or AMEX subsidized?

    They are subsidized by the Fed, who loan them money at 0% and by the government, which allows them to turn around and lend that free money at >20%.

    And, they're subsidized by having capital requirements of less than 5%, so they can take the same dollar and loan it out 20 times.
