I think she has no principles because she got us involved in a ton of horrible poo poo that killed people. Not just Iraq but Libya. NYTimes said she was the main proponent for intervention there that seems to have led to a chaotic "failed state."

Also my next point is connected with this:


It's not all just typical Right Wing bullshit. There are plenty of liberals out there who absolutely hate her. Liberals who have actually argued that Hillary never cared about gays or transgender people until it was convenient to support them. Maybe I bought into that and it was all propaganda. but those are the most important domestic issues to me since I see the kind of poo poo some of my friends have to put up with and that whole transgender bathrooms crap pisses me off.

Maybe she has just simply changed her mind over the years.. But I am that cynical "they're all just liars and cheats" type of person. This would be the first election I voted for in my entire life. I've done the best I can to research stuff.


But man this thread moves so fast, way faster than any other thread I ever post on in here. Sorry if I missed anything.

Gary Johnson won't name leader of North Korea

Jesus Christ, Gary .

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt, that he refused to name NK's leader as a protest to gotcha questioning...did he really not predict that it would lead to this sort of headline?

The New Yorker posted:

Trump aides are organizing what one Republican close to the campaign calls the First Day Project. “Trump spends several hours signing papers—and erases the Obama Presidency,” he said. Stephen Moore, an official campaign adviser who is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, explained, “We want to identify maybe twenty-five executive orders that Trump could sign literally the first day in office.”

[...]

That is partly exaggeration; rescinding an order that is beyond the “rulemaking” stage can take a year or more. But signing executive orders starts the process, and Trump’s advisers are weighing several options for the First Day Project: He can renounce the Paris Agreement on greenhouse-gas emissions, much as George W. Bush, in 2002, “unsigned” American support for the International Criminal Court. He can re-start exploration of the Keystone pipeline, suspend the Syrian refugee program, and direct the Commerce Department to bring trade cases against China. Or, to loosen restrictions on gun purchases, he can relax background checks.

But those are secondary issues; whatever else Trump would do on January 20th, he would begin with a step (“my first hour in office”) to fulfill his central promise of radical change in American immigration. “Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation,” he told a crowd in Phoenix in August.

[...]

Julie Myers Wood, who headed Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the Bush Administration, told me that she is appalled by parts of Trump’s immigration plan and cautioned critics not to assume that it is impossible. “It’s not as binary as some people suggest,” she said. “You could think of some very outside-the-box options.” A President Trump could permit ice officers to get access to I.R.S. files that contain home addresses. (Undocumented immigrants who pay taxes often list real addresses, in order to receive tax-refund checks.) He could invoke provision 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, in order to detail thousands of local and state agents and police officers to the deportation effort. “You’d put people on a train,” she said. “Again, I’m not recommending this. You could have a cruise ship.”

No, Clinton legitimately hosed up and praised her for raising AIDS awareness which is actually completely loving wrong. That was one of Clinton's few real screw ups this election.

You know, a thing nobody mentions but was the most bizarre moment of the night to me:

Trump's weird... loving... like "Why didn't you do the role of a president as Senator, Hillary Clinton?!" thing. Where he kept insisting that if she was an 'effective senator' should would have... taken over the country?

Maybe if they set up reasonably close to a big city as a kind of large scale "historical" farm. Over here in Britain we have places like IronBridge that are set up like they were in the victorian era, maybe they could do something similar for early 2000's farming?

The result of freedom is that some people will make poor choices. You guys seem to be all about freedom until it comes to voting booth.

No system is perfect and I'm not going to claim that mine is, or to occupy some moral high ground. I do think it's important that Americans realize how terrible and restrictive their system actually is.

On the bright side, I'm feeling confident McRory will be out in NC. The Charlotte Observer broke their 25 year streak of endorsing him.

Charlotte Observer posted:

McCrory’s term as North Carolina governor is the ultimate illustration of the Peter Principle: that people are promoted based on their past performance and not the abilities needed for the new role and thus rise to the level of their incompetence. McCrory has certainly done that.

McCrory had a notable career in public service. But he has climbed the ladder beyond his abilities. It is time for him to come home.

I want to believe that the vast majority of trumpists are too fat and lazy for any kind of insurgwncy, but the idea of post electoral violence is nightmarish. I don't see what Clinton can do to keep us from careening towards a constitutional crisis.

You're not wrong, Lightning Knight, but I guess I just sort of assumed that we all agreed that a society that is letting billions of people rot in poverty is, aside from being morally corrupt, also making inefficient use of human resources and therefore not devoting itself to scientific pursuits to the extent it otherwise could. I don't think there is a way to do science where you both stick most of your people in favelas to die, and you get more done than a society where those people are also doing good science work. But, obviously, if the optimal strategy for doing scientific research does involve sticking people in favelas for no reason, then we shouldn't do it.
