  1. Re: Seek help for emotional stress you will fact on Mueller Report 'Summary' Delivered to US Congress (cnn.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    It's like those people who say Hillary committed a crime (email server) yet all those lawyers and agents at the FBI said otherwise.

    Why that is a lie... James Comey explicitly stated that:

    Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case

    It's actually a prosecutor's role to make that choice, not the FBI. The FBI found evidence of violations - but tried to (and appeared to, successfully) - protect an Administration confidant. There actually was evidence of a crime committed - but it was willfully ignored by the FBI and the Obama DOJ.

    Why do you want a partisan DOJ to ignore crimes by their "friends"?

    Absolutely, especially since it was the Free Beacon - and NOT the GOP - that funded the initial research before the DNC and the Clinton campaign turned it up to 11. So let's take the Free Beacon, the DNC, and the entire Clinton campaign to task.

    Oh, and while we're at it, let's not forget that all this happened during the Obama Administration, and most of the senior intelligence officials were aware of the Russian influence and just ignored it, let it continue (as long as they thought it benefited "their side"). So let's toss them, too!

    But there's one group you won't be touching - the Trump campaign and Administration. It's been exonerated by the Mueller report.

    And percussive caps... Unless you want a flintlock? The reality is that a firearm can be disassembled to the point where the pieces are unrecognizable (I know, I have many of them). Ammunition is MUCH harder to leave in parts because pressing the pieces together is near-impossible without a good press tool.

    What you state didn't happen - at least not for the Trump campaign. We have the Mueller report which explicitly states as much. But we do know - with sworn testimony - that the Clinton campaign and the DNC hired foreign nationals to make shit up. And that is a crime. Would you join in a mutual call to investigate the DNC and Clinton campaign involvement with Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, and the Russian dossier which was used to justify so much bullshit about the election and afterwards? Yes or no...

    You know, Democrats haven't been this mad at Republicans since we freed their slaves...

    If only the Clinton campaign and the DNC were so ethical. They did, after all, pay Fusion GPS to hire British agent Christopher Steele to work with the Russians to come up with the fake dossier in the first place, as justification for lying to the FISA courts to get inside information on the Trump campaign. If that's not conspiracy and collusion with foreign Governments, I don't know what is...

  6. Re:Quick, Move Them!! on Mueller Report 'Summary' Delivered to US Congress (cnn.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Those payoffs were not a crime.

    But you know what IS a crime, what is conspiracy and collusion? Paying a foreign agent to use made-up (Russian, even!) lies to build a fake dossier to attack your political opponent. And lying about it. Which is exactly what The Clinton campaign and the DNC did. Shall we look into that? I mean, they have a history of collusion, starting with colluding with the media to rig the debates...

    The Clinton campaign did the same thing. The difference is, we've had 2 years of investigation into the Trump campaign and it was found to not be collusion. Shall we now do the same with the Clinton campaign and the DNC, who financed the dossier which was written by a foreigner, with Russian influences, to damage their opponent? Or is that not collusion?

    Amazing that you could deduce that - and the 20+ staff of lawyers, and 50+ FBI agents on the Mueller team couldn't deduce that legal insight!

  9. The second amendment does not permit you to carry gun to defend yourself from violent crime.

    DC v. Heller explicitly states that carrying a firearm for self-defense is a purpose of the 2nd Amendment; the Supreme Court held that 1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

    A gun is just a tube, a few rubberbands, and a small nail. The part that is hard to build anywhere, and is the most important part, is the ammunition. Without the ammunition, the best a gun is, is just a weirdly-shaped club.

    And deterministic systems don't handle chaos very well. Even if all the cars are automated, you have people, dogs, deer running into the street. You have blowout tires. You have road damage, debris, snow. Given that understanding a left-hand exit is problematic today, how does it handle a deer dashing on to the road? Or snow covering all lane markings - and heavy enough to block GPS signals?
