Easy tiger…the FBI tends not to get involved with non-criminal activity. Depending on the results of their investigation, Hillary could have been charged with a litany of crimes, up to and including treason.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think Hillary can be criminally charged at this point. She possibly could have been had a special prosecutor been assigned, but I don't think there would have been sufficient evidence for a conviction.

That was…really something…

Good point. I'd imagine they had to have known they weren't ready, on some level…

What's a "Mal?"

Haha, that's just my personal preference but I encourage all forms of dehumanizing him!

That's certainly a realistic possibility…

The whole thing was a shitshow from the start. Obviously if we had never invaded we wouldn't have this problem (or, at least, the problem wouldn't be quite as severe). If we assume the invasion was happening regardless, I don't know what the reasonable answer would be insofar as withdrawing troops. I would prefer…

Precisely, and I don't envision meaningful change in the US any time soon…good point with the left splitting — that's how Harper ended up in charge for so long, somewhat ironic considering the right was split until he came along and unified them…

I'm with you a billion percent…I just wish it were easier to make certain people realize that they're horrible. It's tough to go up against a group when you're just one person, even if you know (hope) that the group is ultimately on your side.

You keep responding, so I guess I've found someone who cares to keep bickering. What exactly have I lied about? (I don't expect that you'll actually respond substantively, you haven't at all to this point, after all).

Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man….who hires slave labour to make his ties…

Ha, sorta like the most badass karate dude is the one who stands there and watches everyone fight before he beats up a whole room of gangsters ;)

You nailed it with your comment about the obstructionist Congress…that's something I hadn't accounted for in my initial reply. And shout out to you and Tulsa for bringing up gerrymandering — that's a GREAT issue to deal with if we're hoping for electoral fairness.

No one will remember my predictions in four years! (Unless I'm right, in which case I will tell anyone and everyone that I totally called it)

Absolutely true. I was being snarky ;)

I'm going to come off as a lout here, so please forgive me.

Whatever it takes to convince people that he's an ass and shouldn't be President. I'm with you, but at this point, let's just high-five over ANYTHING that helps keep him out of the White House.

(Also, please explain how I "lost")

As much as I 100% think you're right, it saddens me that you (and so many others) have such a defeatist attitude. In terms of this election specifically, it's not like there's a legitimate 3rd party candidate, and the fact that the pumpkin still has a chance to win throws everything else out the window. But that's…
