What is wrong with America


Red Alert

Recommended Posts

I think Trump is a disgusting person and personality but I think that some of the things that Hilary has done and her track record make her potentially more dangerous in the White House. Plus the type of people who support her are the odious social justice warrior types, the rabid feminists and the gender benders with 58 different pronouns who are the type of people I despise so if I were American I couldn't bring myself to be on the same side as them. I'd probably abstain or vote for a third party candidate.

 

I am heading out to vote shortly. I hate the two choices I have. I have chosen to vote for the, what I consider, the least bad. Trump is odious and unfit to govern. He has such a thin skin how would he react if a world leader said something negative about him? In many ways, his background is as bad as Hillary's with lies, etc. Hillary is a career politician who has taken advantage of her position in ways many have before. She has so much baggage that in any other election, she wouldn't stand a chance.

 

Voting for a third party candidate would be great if everyone who felt the same about Trump and Clinton voted for them. Because we all feel it would be a wasted vote, we won't go the 3rd party route.

Thanks for posting that DM. I was just about to ask Hypo what he meant by:

 

"I think that some of the things that Hilary has done and her track record make her potentially more dangerous in the White House."

 

Now I understand. It's the emails that the FBI said didn't constitute an offence.

Flunked the D.C. Bar Exam.

• Was removed from her House Judiciary Committee staffer job because of incompetence and lying.

• The Whitewater scandal.

• Married a serial liar and cheater, who occasionally had sexual encounters with nonconsenting partners.

• Lied about “sniper fire” in an attempt to simulate exposure to danger in a war zone.

• The subject of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” that led to the impeachment and disbarment of her husband

• Took crockery, furniture, artwork and other items from the White House — had to return and/or pay for them.

• Said “what difference, at this point, does it make” about four brave people killed in Libya as a direct result of her failure to protect them on the anniversary of 9/11.

• Totally ignored the structure and rules for the handling of sensitive national security information.

• Amassed a personal fortune with “speaking fees” and payments from private sector political donors and foreign governments into transparent “foundations” in obvious exchange for future political favor.

Two conclusions emerge from this nefarious list of “accomplishments”:

First, Hillary’s brief solo “professional” career [without Bill] was a total failure, and of her own doing. This despite high-level political sponsorship to get her a key “entry level” job as a legal staffer on the Nixon Impeachment investigation in the early 1970s. But she flunked the D.C. Bar Exam [perhaps the easiest in those days] and got fired from her staff job.

Second, she is identified today in friendly media solely by her “career” post-marriage to Bubba. This is the part that Barack Obama recently described as making her “probably the best qualified person ever to run for president.” This is both laughable and ironic, as she is better qualified than was Mr. Obama, arguably the most unqualified person ever elected president. And, as presidential aspirants go, they had one professional “qualification” in common: Neither had ever worked in a “real job.”

After she and Bill left the White House [along with the furniture, crockery and art work they took with them] she simply punched her ticket with two more political gigs that were handed to her. Neither of which identify her as anything but an opportunist, saying and doing whatever necessary to perpetuate her “new” political career, this while biding her time until she could run for president — twice.

Her time as a senator from New York was purely a block-checking exercise to stay “relevant.” Best illustrating this is the question: Why didn’t they go back to Arkansas? Easy, returning to Arkansas would have been the political — and financial — end for them and they knew it. It’s the same reason the Obamas are not returning to Chicago. And in this context, look for an “Obama Foundation” that rakes in money and a series of Hillary-style political appointments for Michelle — after all, she flunked the Bar Exam too.

More than anything else, Hillary’s campaign is counting on the “newer” American voters to simply not remember her and Bill’s checkered political and legal past. Accordingly, we can expect a Republican campaign replay of the 1990s: Bill’s Impeachment, the Star investigation, Bill’s disbarment for lying, her Rose Law Firm partner going to jail — and on and on and on — as supplemented by her latest scandals: Benghazi, “speaking” fees and classified emails.

So, is Hillary “really” qualified to be president, or is it just a lie she believes after so many years with “slick Willy” and a series of political jobs?

Sadly, her flakey “qualifications” may not matter at all — because if she wins, it will likely be a repeat of the 1992 election debacle: Remember that Bill would never have been elected had it not been for the third party “spoiler” candidacy of H. Ross Perot, who took 20 million votes away from George H.W. Bush — literally giving the election away and beginning the Clinton protracted political soap opera we are still dealing with.

Will it happen again? Will the latest rupture in the Republican Party work to elect “crooked Hillary,” the other half of the Clinton sleaze team? Will horny old Bill — again — be on “intern patrol” in the White House and “feeling our pain”?

These are the “truthful” parts of the lie that have most of us saying: “is this really the best we can do?”.

I am pretty sure you won't understand most of what you have posted. But hey the internet eh

And to be honest, out of that short list, one of which is that she married someone that cheated on her, one is that she pinched some knifes and forks from the Whitehouse (do you really think she did her own packing), one is making money from public speaking and one was that she failed an exam. The list, to be fair, doesn't quite compare to the Trump rap sheet.

Worse than that. Looks to be lifted from the Washington Times which is owned and published by the Moonies (not to be confused with the reputable Washington Post).

pretty refreshing that politicians are excused for being associated by this sort of stuff

I fully understand why an America hungry for change is unimpressed by a Clinton candidacy, but she is good and her election should be a proud moment in America's history. People who equivocate her with Trump are trying really, really hard to justify their refusal to support a woman or establishment figure. The mental gymnastics involved are quite incredible.

The President and the Vice-President have said their thoughts and prayers are with the victims so I don't really know what else they could possibly do.

 

Nothing at all they can do. (If they want the continued support of the NRA and it's supporters.) A really, really ****ed up society.

I was in Florida this year and went to a gun range. We walked in and said I wanted to rent a gun. They asked for ID and I said I'd left in the car and offered to go get it. They said not to worry. They asked me if I had shot before, I said "yes" and 30 seconds later I was in a booth with a .45 pistol and 100 bullets, unsupervised.

Horrible news again and even more horrific that nothing will be done to stop this.

 

In the meantime 37 kids died in the UK in 2017 because of knive attacks: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/28/beyond-the-blade-the-truth-about-knife-in-britain

 

There must be something wrong in the UK also.

 

Its almost exclusively in two cities, London and Manchester. A sub group of kids think it is cool to carry knives. That doesnt make it better of course, but its not a genersalised thing

I work part time in a local store that has a gun department. On two occasions I've stood in for the regular gun staff when there has been a shortage of them. I have no gun permit and no background check. The only training I had was how to load the hand guns and the assault rifles before I was left there alone. It's just totally crazy.

Is that also the case with grown ups? I read that 80 people died in London last year because of knife attacks but the article mentioned it's a problem all over the UK. Already in 2018 people were killed in Birmingham and Oxford and according to the journalist all the big cities have to deal with this problem.

Knives are harder to police than guns as they are an every day tool found in every kitchen in the Uk. We do have laws intended to stop the sale of knives to children and laws making it illegal to carry knives in public places but banning all forms of bladed tools would be rather problematic.

 

The same could be said about the current trend for acid attacks the UK government acted to make it harder for children to buy but again its hard to tell people they can't buy household cleaning products.

I imagine (but dont know) it is different for adults. Knives are used for murders because guns are so difficult to obtain. The murder rates for the Netherlands are similar. I'd be surprised if the method of killing is much different between the two countries

Means of Killing - Netherlands

"Men were mostly shot or stabbed to death and mostly in their own home or on the street. Among female murder victims, 75 percent of the killings happened in their own home. Women were most often stabbed or strangulated to death"

https://nltimes.nl/2016/07/29/netherlands-murder-rate-20-year-low

 

That article say the Dutch murder rate is at a 20 year low so currently it is lower the the UK. But the UK is safe. Murder rates are very comparable with Germany and Denmark and lower than France or Belgium.

The was an interesting piece on the BBC about this woman who grew up in survivalist home in Idaho. Her parents are convinced the government is out to destroy them and that even people like schools and doctors were government agents to be avoided. All were gun nuts. She has a book out on Feb 22 that I want to read.
