    We are so fucked, either way.

    White collar government criminal vs. white collar private sector criminal.

    Lost in all the bullshit is Gary Johnson got a bump, too.

    And why do you think electing a 'criminal' would make us 'so fucked'?

    In what way are our lives going to be worse because of the criminality of the White House occupant?

    Serious question.

    And Jill Stein picked a running mate. And I had a burger for dinner. No one mentions these important things.

    A criminal that knows how to steal using government? Duh.

    Our lives are already worse from her time at State. So are millions and millions of lives throughout the world.

    I hope Johnson gets to 15 percent so he makes the debates.

    international crime, yes.

    You got your panties in a wad over waterboarding yet condone the bombing of civilians in an allied country and military intervention into the affairs of multiple nations. I don't expect better. Seriously.

    While she was at State, numerous documented instances of donors to her campaign, "charity," board of directors seats, 6-$figure speech fees, paid fees to her husband, etc., in exchange for favorable rulings, cash, contracts, and other favors.

    She's actually proven incompetent at the jobs she's had. The presidency should be no reward.

    I know she's a terrible person, first hand. Not from any news source. First hand.

    Be nice if there was one candidate on the stage who didn't belong in prison.

    So we’re reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that, essentially accelerating the number of Iraqi forces that are properly trained and equipped and have a focused strategy and good leadership. And when a finalized plan is presented to me by the Pentagon, then I will share it with the American people.

    :lol:

    This is part of what helped defeat AQI -- the precursor of ISIL -- during the Iraq War in 2006.

    :lol:

    Sorry, that wasn't funny. The man made a laughing stock out of himself. He opposed the surge and he admits it worked. Through his and State's incompetence, ISIS grew from AQI (AQI was defeated by the surge, duh).

    The man was ill equipped for the job. His experience as a community organizer and at running for office did not prepare him, in the least, to run an economy or military power. He hired you-know-who for her advice. Nobel Prize winner bombing a half dozen nations around the world, routinely.

    It's not funny because of the absolute mess he's leaving behind, and the ire of people in those countries. It's not funny because he and she ordered the killing of people who are halfway around the world from us, and backward third world nations at best.

    I do think he's been right in a few social issues, but when it came to raising money, spending it, or making an environment for the people to raise/spend, he mostly failed.

    Yep, we are fucked.

    There's still time and hope. My new campaign motto is, "When in doubt, grab your Johnson."

    I've said it a couple of times before, but I'll repeat it: I'm relieved I have the luxury of voting my conscience and can vote for Gary Johnson this fall. If I lived in a swing state I'd probably have to swallow my bile and vote for Hillary. Only because I'll take a competent criminal to run this shit-show for the next 4 years over somebody as erratic, petty and thin-skinned as Trump.

    If Johnson can get to 15% that would be enough for me. This two party system is beyond broken and maybe next go around we get to make a legitimate run at an alternative.

    Yeah, sure. Let's hear the story of your personal interaction with Hillary.

    I hope Johnson makes it and Trump falls below 15% and doesn't make it. That would be funny.

    Three statisticians go hunting. They see a deer and the first one shoots, hitting three feet left of the deer. The second one shoots, hitting three feet right of the deer. The third one leaps up in joy, yelling, "we got him!"
