    Oh so when someone mentions costs beyond tuition and you insist on the significance of the tuition I should realize something was written that contradicts that sentiment on the previous page.

    Ever seen a college bill?
    Yes. Is your kid getting the semi free tuition you're referring to?

    The take away here should be that one of the candidates for president represents a large increase in the chance of nuclear exchange. That candidate has a non negligible chance of being elected, and as such you're seeing a risk management response. I'm not sure there is any credible evidence that Clinton represents an increase in the risk of nuclear warefare or any other catastrophic type of situation.

    As for the question of when does the smoke become enough to assume fire? Probably at the point where someone stops calling every thing that is in the sky smoke and actually proves that a fire has occurred. I'm supposed to get up in arms over a charity foundation where no evidence of wrong doing can be found while that charity does amazing work world wide? I'm supposed to get upset over the refusal of the FBI to prosecute in an action consistent with previous decisions regarding that law? Or am I supposed to believe all the other bull the GOP has tried to manufacture for decades now and still has yet to make anything stick?

    There are two possible reasoning here. One, Clinton is somehow ty enough at enacting conspiracies that you always hear about them but just not ty enough to leave anything around that actually proves they exist. That would be rather amazing. The other is that there's been a long line of bull tossed against the wall and none of it has managed to stick even when investigated to death and even when investigations are conducted by her political enemies.

    So I ask you in turn, when do you start wondering how much bull can possibly be tossed against one person before you start to believe that maybe those tossing the bull have an agenda? But I get it, the GOP is so good at acknowledging facts in other areas, surely they'd do it here too.

    There is a third possibility you left out. Nothing has stuck because she's being protected by the White House.
    DOJ grants immunity to 5 key witnesses instead of issuing subpoenas
    FBI agrees to destroy laptops after examining and also agrees to only search limited timeframe on laptops

    Impossible to prosecute anyone under these conditions

    Not that big of a deal, tbh. I won't vote for him, but for any number of other reasons.

    Try to make a case FOR Hillary. It's far harder than making a case against Trump.
    To make a case for Hillary I just point to her climate change proposals. She's got by far the best and most level headed approach to energy and climate change than anyone else who ran for president this time around and that isn't limited to Trump. That means Stein, Sanders, and any of the GOP or Libertarians who outright deny its a problem. She's making it a point to acknowledge that implicit bias is actually a thing that we should address and that it should be at the forefront of our society's conversations of race. She's actually got reasonable tax proposals that would do well for our country. She's also a policy wonk who's got a fantastic reputation of making extremely analytical decisions on situations and problems. She's got a lot going for her, and to act like she's some kind of idiot who has somehow stumbled her way to this point is laughable.

    Is she perfect and do I agree with her in every policy position? No. But do I think she's atrocious? Far from it.

    But the thing is the case for her alone doesn't need to be made. The GOP is such a non functional cluster bent on white nationalism that they decided to nominate the most unqualified candidate of our era if not ever. So now, she gets the endorsements of ins utions that have never before nominated anyone outside of the GOP and former GOP heads of state. She gets the endorsements of GOP operatives and those who are familiar with foreign policy and national security at rates that no democrat ever DREAMED of. We're not talking Collin Powel. We're talking a large segment of the GOP that is alive and has ever been involved in national security issues because the GOP felt that it was more important to nominate someone who hates (or at least acts like he hates) muslims and Mexicans more than he understands nuclear weapons policy.

    So you can say "make the case for her in this hypothetical way" all you want but the fact is that people have to decide between her and Trump. Although deciding between her and the OTHER guy who apparently is running for president and can't be bothered to learn a thing or two about foreign policy either isn't much harder. Gary Johnson should be thanking the world for Trump because otherwise he'd be the biggest laughing stock in this "race".

    Now?

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/09/politi...ld-trump-iran/

    There's definitely arguments to be made about Hillary's poor foreign policy and her likely continued use of drones in the manner that Obama has done, but to act as if Trump doesn't present a set of dangers involving war that are much more severe is to completely ignore his statements and his temperament. This is the man who asked why we couldn't use nuclear weapons.

    What's a torpedo boat?

    We shoot one of their boats then they all drop their torpedoes and whatever coastal installations the Iranians also have come into bear. What a dumb .

    I'm not going to try to dissuade you from having conspiracy theories. Knock yourself out. There's no point in trying to have a rational conversation at that point.

    So the guy who is being attacked for not being anti Russian enough is the war hawk. Let's see...under Obama/Clinton relations with Russia have been "reset" back to cold war status, Libya has been turned into a failed state, tensions between Japan & China/North Korea are escalating rapidly, and we are quietly living through a new and more dangerous nuclear arms race as both the US and Russia modernize their arsenal towards smaller "more usable" nuclear weapons ...but Trump is the one who is going to blow up the world.

    There's literally a thousand actual things to slam Trump on but jumping over all of them to go straight to nuclear armageddon argument is dumb as .

    Just discussing the facts. Did you find it normal practice for immunity to be given to 5 key witnesses for nothing in return?

    Do you think Hillary is a good person?
    tbh how many of our presidents were actually good people? The vast majority have been slave owners/murderers/crooks/racists.
