What's up with that ? No one is interested in that.
I feel like most of you guys like lurking more on the forum and talking about politix and crap than actually playing the game. And this was even before the big election thing.

I saw a dead bird on campus today
It made me pretty uncomfortable sitting on the bench near it. It was a red cardinal
I wonder why it died, and if marxism had something to do with it. I decided to sit inside instead and listen to some modest mouse.

I blame Abraham Lincoln
He screwed over the south's economy without granting them an alternative, devastated their homeland and subjugated them to the union. There's no coincidence that these people's descendants elected Trump today. They have been disenfranchised and alienated and economically subjugate since before 1860. We are paying for the sins of our fathers.

The union should've bought the slaves' freedom the same way Britain did.

"Have you considered that our society disregards victims of sexually assault and encourages them not to try for meaningless court trials, because they aren't likely to win anyway? "

-Yes, Hillary Clinton enabled her Husband (Bill's) sexual crimes against women. Very true. She used the weight of the Federal government and mass media to crush women from telling their stories about how her husband sexually abused them. There are numerous cases of her doing this. Thank you for bringing up Hillary's sorted history with survivors of her husband's abuses.

-A lewd comment is nowhere near comparable to an FBI Investigation.

-Trump has never been found guilty of a sexual assault and a lewd comment is not assault.

This isn't about a lewd comment (which isn't criminal) this is about numerous pending FBI investigations against Clinton which are felonies and could land her decades of jail time if she is found guilty. It's a false comparison and a false narrative that you are trying to spin because your side is wrong. You know it. I know it. Everyone with a functioning brain knows it.

@ND

Ok, let's say WE ARE rewarding a criminal.

will she be better for this country than Trump?


Economics:
not good in a budgetary standpoint but she's not as bad as Trump. she's not against destroying state lines for insurance companies which i disagree with, but she isn't also wanting to put tariffs up against other countries, which would stifle our consumption base- 70% of our GDP.

edge: Clinton. Given we're in a recovery stage right now, her plans won't help accelerate that, but Trump is overestimating America's stability.

Healthcare:
Clinton has constantly said she wants to keep the "good parts" of the AFA, thus the workplace equality. However, she has said that she wants to keep, and only change Obamacare. Trump says take it all apart, and reimplement the good parts. Why do they disagree? Because Hillary wants 100% coverage, and she will bleed us dry to get it. IT's an appeal to the lower class (and thus subsequently a large African American faction) made ever since the 30s and FDR. Obamacare has been a disaster, the idea of expanding Obamacare in specific states would have left the state with a HUGE tab after 5 years, them they attacked the states who wouldn't sign on. Trump says make a free market completely on health insurance. This will destroy coverage, but bring down prices. Better economics, less better healthcare. However, taking into account long-term inefficiencies of the current plans created, it's better to restart than stick with this mess we have

Edge: Trump. Clinton's actually the more stubborn one on this, which rarely happens. It's been her agenda for decades

Foreign Policy:
It's ironic to think Republicans couldn't find ANYONE to beat CLINTON. but let's take a look. Clinton has had awful judgement of the middle east. She completely disregarded terrorist factions that have gained power: most notable ISIS. Her agreements with Obama in Syria, Libya and Iran have all been disastrous from our perspective on cooling tensions. Although there were some economic upsides for Iran, those don't apply to us beyond the space race (we can make a different thread for that). She has accepted millions from foreign leaders through the Clinton Foundation while secretary of State, and has a giant bias towards Turkey and China. And now Trump: I've looked into the "he supported the Iraq war, and here's what i found. he did reply "i guess so" to whether or not we should go in, then immediately followed up saying the economy was more important. Honestly, we gets TOO MUCH CRAP for that, but at the same time, his stubbornness is a zero sum game for him. Nonetheless, he is has been cleared by the FBI for connections with Russia

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/us/politics/fbi-russia-election-donald-trump.html?_r=0

as for Ogion's SLATE article that said there was a secret server connecting the two: fabricated. No named sources, they phrased their words carefully, and it has no substantial ground. However, many of his comments on foreign policy have been viewed as inflammatory. Wanting to "ban all muslims" and put up economic tariffs, have ALREADY hurt the USA's worldwide reputation. It is in this area he most notably shows his lack of knowledge on specific. The simple fact of the matter is Trump has no formal education in this area, and if anything his business ventures overseas have had many failures, and created many enemies.

Edge: depends on view
isolationism: Trump
globalism: Clinton
moderatism: ... fuck me

We are not and will never be a communist country. Luckily, Americans having no idea what real communism is makes them more wary to call anything communism, so we can't even get close to real communism. Ever.

No ND, you actually took my analysis on Trump's sexual behaviour, erased every part other than the pussy comment, and somehow made it about Clinton's FBI investigations and how I'm just wrong.

I'll be frank. I don't give a fuck about the fact that Clinton used a separate server for her emails. She stated it was a mistake, apologized, and did it because state rules are archaic and need fixing. I don't care. It will never happen again.

And enough with the Clinton conspiracy theories on her husband's behaviour. She is not Bill, try harder.

Trump has admitted to sexually assaulting women when he says that you can do whatever you want to them because you're famous. Engage with this.
ND (879 D)

@TrPrado: Good. I hope you seek out an accountant, teacher, or individual under an FBI Criminal investigation and hire them. Stand by your principles. I am glad that you have admitted that you want to hire someone directly that is under an FBI criminal investigation. Now, you need to live by that principle.

@TrPrado: "Now, you can go and hire a teacher who says disgustingly sexual comments about his students."

-I am hiring a teacher not a pastor. I don't care what he says in the privacy of his own home or in the locker room so long as it isn't said in the classroom.

@Brainbomb: Probably not. The Federal bureaucracy has only become politicized during the Obama years as a way of protecting him. He has corrupted the entire federal executive branch. Clinton is one example of this. Fortunately, a few patriots remain at the FBI who are seeking justice.

@James: Tim Kaine was the governor of VA (my state). He was terrible.

@DO: Um, it isn't a conspiracy theory. It happened. Funny how you ignore that. Biased? Partisan? Omitting things that don't fit your false narrative? Check, check, check. A lewd comment isn't sexual assault. It's a comment and in the U.S. we have something called the Freedom of Speech. Get over it. It is no where near comparable to mishandling classified information and having a pay for play scheme. She is under FIVE FBI criminal probes in relation to the Clinton Foundation and under ONE direct FBI criminal investigation for mishandling classified information. You don't give a fuck about it, but that's six criminal cases. Most people that aren't partisans do care.

@James: I appreciate you trying to bring up policy and I would be happy to engage with you about that, but right now (as you can see) I am under bombardment with all of these non-policy issues. Which I have to answer because I can't allow these types of comments to stand without countering them. They are untrue, false narratives, and I am sure you understand that in some sense.

@LeonWalras: What is being done to this country is marxist in nature. It's not full blown communism, but it is marxist. Obama's mentor was a marxist and he is a marxist. If this trend continues we will eventually have a command-control system and dictatorship.

@DemonOverlord

your dismissal of the emails is BAAAAAAD.

"did it because state rules are archaic and need fixing."

HOLY FUCKING FUCK WHAT???

she has ZERO STATE ENCRYPTION PROTOCOLS on the private server.

ZERO.

she had Classified materials - SOME OF WHICH WERE LABELED PROPERLY

she deleted emails AFTER the FBI asked for them! (talking about the 2nd batch of deletions)

we know FOR A FACT NOT ALL THE EMAILS DELETED WERE WEDDING PLAN STUFF


she was careless. she threatened national security - I KNOW THAT GETS EXAGGERATED, but that is LITERALLY what happened. she constantly was holding up the FBI investigation.

saying

"did it because state rules are archaic and need fixing."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THEY NEED STRICTER ENCRYPTION NOT ZERO ENCRYPTION.

NO NO NO.
