US Election

Yeah aha totally trump is going to destroy the entire human race :^)

Libbies actually think this.

But honestly, we've already entered the next extinction epoch. Global warming is real, bruv. And it won't be slowing down any time soon.

I do beleive global warming is real, but it is also true that it's still a theory and should be treated as such.

do you know the definition of a scientific theory

[Jesus_Smith_Nandez]

It's still a theory because it's not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I know that's what a theory is.

TRUMP!
TRUMP!
TRUMP!
TRUMP!

I'm glad uneducated Americans decided they needed to vote to improve America.
I'm disappointed they picked Trump as their champion.

I don't think Trump is going to be the end of America. But I lament the fact that when we could have had a serious reformer we instead got a buffoon.

Women's Studies =/= Educated

But, I guess an education makes it acceptable to vote for a completely crooked candidate? Rigging the nominations? No biggie. Hosting classified information on a private server? No biggie. Accepting and using money from foreign nations and big business? No biggie.

Hillary was a fucking scumbag. Maybe if the DNC hadn't tried to coronate her instead of actually letting the process work, Bernie could've had a chance.

Consider me fucking triggered.

I know countless people who sat through higher indoctrination and still refused to vote for Hillary. If you think it's simply because they think Trump will magically make America great again, you're wrong. Some people see the bullshit of the oligarchy and won't play ball.

The system is rigged so that only two candidates even have a chance. People want to act like voting for an independent isn't a wasted vote, but the truth is that it's a throw away. Until we move away from the "winner-takes-all" system, we're going to be stuck in this mire of radical partisanship of the parties. But that won't happen. Because that would take bipartisan action from the Republicans and Democrats who love their position o so much, and it'll be a cold day in hell for them to work together to allow a third party a chance to compete with them.

So, until Lucifer is gettin' his ass frost-bitten, I'd much rather see an anti-status-quo candidate succeed over some corrupt career politician who has dedicated their entire life to sucking the right cock and schmoozing the right money bags.

Hillary wasn't my candidate.
But did she break any laws?
Did she do anything corrupt?

Let's break this down then compare it to Trump.


1. Arguably she knowingly transferred classified information in contravention of federal law. Hillary contends that no information she discussed in her private emails were classified *at the time* she sent it.

The FBI agreed. Was there a cover up? Maybe.
I don't believe so. I believe that the public wanted to believe there was, and chose to do so, because Hillary Clinton is some iconic representation of the establishment politics that the working class American has come to blame for their woes.

2. Did Hillary have a conflict of interest stemming from her acceptance of millions of dollars from foreign nationals and governments for her charity?

Maybe. Evidence showed that foreign nationals sometimes requested or demanded a meeting with Clinton in return for donations.
The same evidence showed that sometimes she would meet with foreign nationals, other times not, and on every circumstance denied any and all requests for special favors, including providing visa consideration to relatives of large donors.

[Robben_DuMarsch]

3. Did she rig the nominations?
No. There was no evidence that anyone from Clinton's campaign requested the special consideration from the DNC. A select few DNC insiders attempted to provide unsolicited special favors to the Clinton campaign, likely with the hope to receive political benefit in the future. None are currently affiliated with the Clintons.

Clearly there is at least the plausible possibility that HRC is doing or has done improper things. Her political half-speak and disingenuous personality does her no favors, and it's easy to assume impropriety rather than extend benefit of the doubt.
