BruceVC Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 GD I see a real inconsistency in this type of statement, help please to understand this Patraeus and Snowden have both been found guilty of certain crimes...this is fact. Hilary has been accused of crimes....why is she associated with them? When the Cosby rape charges were revealed I said he was a disgrace and he was guilty, I said for this type of crime I dont need a jury to pronounce on his guilt ...to me thats just a technicality I was told by several members that in the USA people are not presumed guilty and there must be a legal obligation for them to go to court before we presume guilt So now it seems people give this courtesy to a truly deviant and reprehensible person like Cosby but Hilary we assume she is guilty before she even goes to court .....do you see why I appears hypocritical ? I think the thing is it's innocent until proven guilty, not "not guilty" until proven guilty. Innocence assumes that the person "hasn't" done anything wrong while not guilty is a judgement of "didn't" do anything wrong.As to why she's there with them, the only difference is she hasn't been to court yet for some reason I can't fathom, even though there's tons of evidence available to the public that IF was used in a court of law, she would be found guilty. More and more, it keeps looking like this election is rigged. Okay, but aren't we debating semantics now because this is not about my definition which is based on South Africa crime which is at an unprecedented level I was told by you guys in the USA people are innocent until proven guilty, that concept is simple enough but Hilary has by your own admittance not been guilty in a court of law yet people are fine saying she is guilty. I dont see how she is different? okay, think of it this way for example. Person gets caught WHILE in the process of doing a crime. It's on video, several eye witnesses, the whole shebang. When brought into court to have the case taken care, the court isn't just gonna hand out a punishment and then move on. Innocent until proven guilty means that every citizen has the right to try their case and have someone PROVE that they did something.You knew the person was guilty before the trial, but at the trial, the person has to be taken as an innocent person to the court only UNTIL the court proves they did something wrong and then person who did it gets punished. It's not the public that is caged by the rule, but it's the law who is because they deliver the punishment. So yes I can says she's guilty and say it now and before and during and after the trial IF it ever does and to me she's guilty. I don't enforce the law, the courts do, so they are the only ones who have to view them as innocent when the case first starts because they are the ones who enforce and punish if laws broken LEGALLY. Sometimes the public has had to step rightfully and wrongefully, because the court system would rule them that way. I'm a bit stoned so hopefully this came out legible. I am also stoned so you making perfect sense, I organised some really good hydroponic weed. Its has this nice effect where you feel nicely but I dont feel dumb 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Because only someone completely blind to the situation would truly find themselves devoid of any suspicion that Clinton is guilty. No one is saying arrest her now, no one is saying don't give her a fair trial. What's being said is that why the HELL would anyone vote for someone with such obviously strong claims against them (she's doing a terrible job of denying said claims) and what's more there's concern she will walk away scot-free because of direct ties to the White House itself. Waiting for a fair trial is one thing. Allowing someone to run for President of the United States while a criminal investigation is taking place against that person is downright insanity. If innocent by all means let them run next election, but here we not only have an ongoing investigation that could threaten the presidency or the democratic candidacy (imagine if she were indicted in October or in December, what happens then?), but the entire DNC is highly suspect for leaked documents regarding bias in her favor. FFS there's currently a class-action lawsuit in the works against the DNC itself. "Natural selection" will weed out the democratic party at this rate, but it's absurd we need to rely on that instead of the government itself showing concern over potentially having an indicted official run for office.

OK, here is everything that is wrong with this meme: None of these three did the same thing. Petraeus exposed classified information to a journalist who was writing a biography on him and who he was having an affair with. He didn't want to leave an e-mail trail to be found so he would write messages and save them as drafts and have her access to his classified e-mail so she could read them.... and everything else he was exposed to as well. Snowden INTENTIONALLY leaked information that the Federal government spying on everyday Americans (you know the people they are REALLY afraid of) in a way that would make Orwell blush. As well as spying on friendly governments and unfriendly alike. Hillary Clinton disregarded the legal and procedural requirements that all of her e-mails as the Secratery of State were the property of the US Government. That same government was nice enough to set up a secure e-mail and data system which she deigned not to use for reasons that we can only speculate about. So she bought and used her own server which had none of the security and safeguards of the State Dept one AND did not have those pesky backups that would allow Congress to see those e-mails because, well, they DO have a right to after all. Once it was discovered that she was doing this and that server was not secure and terabytes of sensitive and classified information had been compromised and none of it was available for oversight (there is that pesky law again) it turned into a scandal. To which Hillary Clinton responded by having all data on that server professionally destroyed before complying with a court order to turn them over. This is a meme which is sort of like a political cartoon in that it makes a point but it also meant to be humorous. You are micro-analyzing it and that tends to not work. Of course any detail that Hillary might be the dirtbag we are all telling you she is will be dismissed by you out of hand because 1) She's a woman which you think seems to lend her some "special" credibility. 2) She is a controlling and government loving technocrat that is beholden to globalists, giant corporations, and of course the ever pervasive PC crowd that probably agrees with you that prison sentences are appropriate for "thoughtcrime".

Okay so if its a cartoon then I'm definitely over-analyzing it....lets not have this debate over something unnecessary But other members thought it was real so the discussion is relevant ? But GD I mentioned I dont just support her because she is women, don't you realize that would me shallow She is qualified and is the best candidate but Trump has also offended and alienated many Americans ...he has offended many women in the USA and they are 53 % of total voting population. Trump constantly feels the need to tell his supporters how rich and successful he is....yet he doesnt understand that you cannot insult women and tell them " they are fat, disgusting pigs " They will make Trump pay in the election and this will be gratifying for me Also you cant implement my idea of racism and jailing people in the USA because of your Constitution and freedom of speech "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Valsuelm Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 http://us.cnn.com/2016/06/26/politics/hillary-clinton-leads-donald-trump-polls/index.html A bit of good news for Clinton supporters , its at least predictable and I prefer that considering the BREXIT initial shock I dislike just using one or two polls to make an argument, but FiveThirtyEight grades WashingtonPost/ABC News as an A+ pollster. There's something to that. Looking at the big picture, Clinton has had a steady, and sometimes huge lead in the aggregate over Trump since the start of the campaign season. It's getting closer to final bell and Clinton's been more than capable of absorbing Trump's haymakers. Final bell? The main event hasn't even kicked off yet. No haymakers have been thrown by Trump at Hillary yet, nor vice versa. All that's happened is some pre main event jibjabbing by the contestants. The ass whoppin of Hillary is coming, worry not.

As someone who lives in a battleground state (quite often the battleground state) we've been pummeled with anti-Trump ads, to the point I almost want to vote for him out of pure vindictiveness (I won't, but it doesn't change the desire), but I have yet to see any pro-Trump or anti-Hillary ads (no pro-Hillary ads, either.) Makes it kind of hard to believe Trump knows what he's doing, unless he's counting on people like me to vote for him out of sheer annoyance at political ads, which seems unlikely. Regardless, it doesn't matter either way. They're both terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this may be just a coincidence (and I may be the next Pope). But it does pose some questions about all those e-mails she didn't want Congress to see doesn't it?

Now this may be just a coincidence (and I may be the next Pope). But it does pose some questions about all those e-mails she didn't want Congress to see doesn't it? Just wanna interject and state that depending on the workings of the laws in play, the data Clinton hosted on her private server could basically be viewed as government "property," thus moving it to another server is akin to theft and destroying it is akin to damaging someone else's property. I can't say for certain that this is how it works in the US legal system, but merely wanted to toss that out there to state that sometimes the inner workings of the law demand far more serious treatments and charges of certain acts, and considering we're talking about highly classified information, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly how this'll be handled. Also: add the DNC to the list of shady business. Her Secretary of State run was shady, the Clinton Foundation is shady, and the DNC is shady and currently has a class-action lawsuit against it because those recently leaked documents suggest the DNC itself was actively showing bias towards Clinton and trying to get her elected. What's more, Clinton has not held a press conference in over 200 days. This is absolutely unprecedented for someone that's running for president. She has refused EVERY opportunity for the press to ask her questions without some degree of pre-rehearsal. Honestly, I stand by my statement 100%: only someone completely blind to the situation would trust Hillary Clinton. She has not done a single trustworthy act or managed to avoid a conflict for more than six seconds at any given time. It's absolutely outrageous. "The Courier was the worst of all of them.

Hopefully we'll see Sanders jump ship from the Democratic Party, I know a significant amount of his supporters will. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I genuinely believe no one is supporting Trump for any reason he can take credit for. They are not "for" him, they are against Hillary. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay that is a good point, I never considered that But it just seems extreme, is she really that disliked?

Wrath of Dagon Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 http://us.cnn.com/2016/06/26/politics/hillary-clinton-leads-donald-trump-polls/index.html A bit of good news for Clinton supporters , its at least predictable and I prefer that considering the BREXIT initial shock I dislike just using one or two polls to make an argument, but FiveThirtyEight grades WashingtonPost/ABC News as an A+ pollster. There's something to that. Looking at the big picture, Clinton has had a steady, and sometimes huge lead in the aggregate over Trump since the start of the campaign season. It's getting closer to final bell and Clinton's been more than capable of absorbing Trump's haymakers. It's all media propaganda. When the Libertarians and the Greens are included in the polls, Hilzilla and Trump are tied: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/27/us/politics/donald-trump-slips-further-behind-hillary-clinton-in-new-polls.html?_r=2 1 "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Guard Dog Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) I genuinely believe no one is supporting Trump for any reason he can take credit for. They are not "for" him, they are against Hillary. Okay that is a good point, I never considered that But it just seems extreme, is she really that disliked? This election is like trying to choose the cleanest turd. Seriously do you read nothing we link here? Even you have to admit that while she is many things, honest is not one of them.

If I was a Republican in America I just wouldn't vote this year, I wouldn't vote for Hilary but I wouldnt compromise my principles and vote Trump The next Republican presidential candidate will be someone any Republican will be proud to vote for "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Wrath of Dagon Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 If you want to give up the Supreme Court for a generation and make sure you lose your last constitutional rights, like the Second and the First amendments, that's exactly what any butthurt Repube should do. 1 "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."
