Thank you for linking to a pretty in depth article on the issue.  However, I must note that it clearly identifies that several cabinet departments - not just State - have to approve such transactions and indeed the Canadian government also had to approve.  I would further note that the cabinet approvals come in compliance with standards/rules/laws put in place by Congress, which has been under republican control for many years.  Therefore, to say "Hillary sold the Russians our uranium" is so far from the whole truth as to be willfully deceptive.  And vintage T Rump.

Do not get me wrong.  I think Hillary is one of the worst possible candidates for president within memory, and one that i cannot stand.  My issue is with stating things with only a small smattering of factual basis as though they are gospel and doing so in support of the worst candidate in history who is actively participating in and benefiting from espionage by our major global rival.  

But can we get back to the real purpose of this board - getting laid safely and having fun. :cool:  (And yeah, I know, whichever of the two pathetic choices win, we get laid.  Just no fun involved)

No respite, no smiting.  This is why I am an atheist.

I disagree and stand by thinking that whoever wants to run for president should have that knowledge. Whether or you not you care about some "jacked up religion" doesn't stop the fact the America has and always will be involved in foreign affairs. I don't think it's a gotcha question (I think the guy who asked the question is a douche though), this is something that POTUS is going to have to deal with. If every single fucking American can learn where Benghazi is and how to spell it, I think a presidential candidate should be able to answer the question he was asked. To be fair he handled it well and if anything his reaction displayed that he is pretty genuine and honest. But it seems he genuinely didn't know and he should have.

A lot of Americans interests include what's happening in Syria. No one, I know I didn't, is saying that it should be a priority. I didn't mention Aleppo to get opinions on what people think of it either. Just an example of ineptitude.

My point ultimately was that the third party vote argument just doesn't work this time around. People who are so vehemently against Hillary and Trump and encourage the third party vote aren't doing it from an educated voter place, they're doing it because they despise the other candidates. That is just as much a wasted vote as the lesser of two evils. I don't vote to vote against someone I vote for the person I think is most qualified and most closely matches my beliefs. Rather than encouraging people to vote for a third party every four years we should be consistently encouraging people to explore other parties and find the one that suits them the best. That way when election time comes we don't have the same two party frustration but a new batch of educated voters who actually have loyalty to the party they have chosen.

I am registered as unaffiliated, I traditionally vote blue but not always. I vote for who is qualified and I sincerely hope that others do too. If you really believe in Johnson, Trump, Clinton then know their policy and be able to tell people why it's a smart choice to vote for them. And not just because you don't like the other candidate.

I'm writing in Lucy K for President!

it was a "Gotcha" question and I agree that a Presidential Candidate should have had better knowledge of the situation in Aleppo and should have been able to name at least one foreign leader off the top of his head...

I think you misread my point.

 A Clinton presidency preserves the Republican Party while a Trump Presidency signals the end of the Republican Party. The underlying logic is that Clinton is part of the establishment, while Trump, loathed by the Republican establishment, is an outsider to the Republican party and not bound by any party ideology has created a movement that does not represent establishment Republican ideology i.e. George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Carl Rove, etc 

I got it backwards, but I stand by my original conclusion that it's pure FUD. If you're afraid you might cause the party to fall apart, maybe you'll vote for their candidate.

Because of all of the "big money" that is being spent on the amendments, it is hard to find out what is real.

I say vote NO on everything! Bond issues included. I don't want my taxes to go up.

Now if I could just figure out how to vote no for president. :mad:

What about an Amendment to stop Amendments?! Talked to my sister who lives in MI. She claims that her state has no Amendments for a very long time. This is crazy and anyway you vote with some of those amendments it is going to hurt us! :)

And how pray tell does this compare?  Since comment earlier about T Rump partnering with Putin seemed to ricochet into silence - I meant it. :cool:

I think you should have read the article first. Now you're trying to argue against someone who agrees with you just because you hate a woman so much and disagreed with the news source posted.

If you truly hate criminals and are worried about the impact a criminal president may have on our country how can you not be concerned with the other actual criminal running for president? The one who's friends with Putin, the one who managed to get Julian Assange on his side. A man who stands accused of defrauding American people out of millions of dollars. The man who is not unfamiliar with the inside of a courtroom and lawsuits?

My SO told me this morning that she wants us to move to New Zealand if DT wins. I told her not to worry and that I'm not moving anywhere...and the key to a happy marriage is separate domiciles with separate Zip Codes.

My adult children, who are big Bernie supporters have already cast their votes for Jill Stein...they just couldn't bring themselves to vote for HRC. I wonder if this is the sentiment for a majority of Milenialls?

The Millennial stance is skewed. I am considered a millennial but this will be my fifth time voting for president. There is a younger millennial crowd that is facing some different challenges. Lots are voting for the first time and lots are realizing that they are losing Obama and feel they don't have a choice that represents them as well as he did. As a younger, less informed, less experienced voter I can see why it's a challenge.

It will be interesting to see how many people vote in this election. During the last election a lot of "youth" voted. @Lucy Kitten I agree with your thoughts on millennials. Although...I remember when I was voting during my first election that I felt the same. I felt like voting was the lesser of two evils. I know feel like I have a voice on the state level, but I am not sure how I feel about the national level of politics.

First, I don't trust anything the NY Times publishes - on any subject - period - not even baseball scores.  Anyone who gives that rag an iota of credence is a useful idiot of the left and should never be taken seriously.  

But on Hillary: are you deranged?  Hillary is a much more successful criminal than Trump - AND she has the protection of the corrupt Obama and his DOJ.  Get a grip. She gave away 20% of our uranium store to Russia in exchange for $144K to her "Foundation".  She took millions of dollars from foreign goverments who will come a-calling to collect on the debt.  She compromised national security with her private server in violation of Title 18 USC Sec 793(f), which carries a 10-year prison sentence.  And then, she deleted (or tried to) thousands of e-mails after they were subpoenaed by Congress.  

She paid thugs to disrupt violently Trump rallies.  She cheated in the debates by accepting questions given to her surreptitiously by Donna Brazile.  She blew up the Middle East, brought on the collapse of Libya and laughed at Gaddafi"s execution after lying about a meaningless video to the families of her victims in Benghazi. She is responsible for Putin's ascendancy with her Russian Re-set, and her rank incompetence encouraged China to build military bases in the S China Sea to impede trade. She sold out every single one of us, and now you're ready to elect the reincarnation of Al Capone?  Hillary makes Trump look like a school boy where criminality is concerned.

Do you pay attention to anything?  If you want a woman president, fine.  But not this harpy.  She belongs in Leavenworth Prison, not the White House.  But take heart - there's always Elizabeth Warren, better known by her Native American name - Sack-o-Shia.

Get a grip.  Putin's first two terms as Russian President and when he solidified his political grip and and power and held all of eastern Europe hostage over energy all coincides (2000-2008) with the Great American Darkness, aka the reign of Bush the Lesser, aka the Shrub.

But as to Putin and US candidates:

http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-russia-hillary-clinton-united-states-europe-516895

Let me guess, you believe not a fucking thing Newsweek says either.  Only Fox, Rudy, Christy, Hannity and T Rump can be believed.

I agree Hell-ary has a long questionable history of underhanded politics and favoritism as well as periodic clear to partly cloudy incompetence.  But that kind of pales compared to willful treason and collusion with the Russians.  Prison?  Did we not used to execute traitors???  Then there is the matter of thousands of law suits, several bankruptcies, tax evasion, scam of the non-credited "university", hundreds of people robbed of their money in the great condo scam, and ........... it goes on endlessly.  If anyone wants to tell me in 500 words or less why they support T Rump and can do so without attacking Hell-ary, the democrat party, and the "evil" media, I am all ears.  Just please make it factual for a change and explain specifically how any of his proposals both marginally possible and will actually make anything better except his net worth.  (Since he has been quite specific that his direct family will continue to manage all of his holdings while he is president.  And Hell-ary is corrupt lol!)

As usual, make mine the Libertarian Party, and I do not care one shit bit that their candidate is not familiar with Aleppo and is a bit shall we say "eccentric".  Only way we will stop the horrific horse shit of this pathetic choice in major candidates from being perpetrated upon us over and over every four years is to STOP VOTING FOR THEM.

Whatever dude, whatever point you might have had you lost when you assume that am voting for a woman because she's a woman and maybe because I am a woman. And calling Liz Warren jokey Native American names is beyond tasteless. It's sort of misogynistic and racist all at once.

The people so blinded with "Killary" rage are dangerous. Trumps bullying behavior trickled down to his supporters. Bullies bully to hide their true selves, if that's not what Trump and his supporters are doing then pigs fly. False accusations, chants of "Hillary for Prison" at rallies, the ever so convenient one sided release of information by Wikileaks. Did you bother to read the bullshit letter from J. Edgar Comey to Congress? It's all so fucking tactical and so fucking tired of people not being able to see it.

Is Hillary an angel? Not by any stretch but does she deserve to be in prison? Nope. You seem to be at least somewhat knowledgeable thanks to whatever whack news sources you trust so why not branch out and gain some real perspective. Instead of calling the New York Times and it's readers deranged, why not actually take the fucking time to read? Many of your hated liberal outlets have reported in depth and factually on her indiscretions. I read sources from all sides, NYT, HuffPo, Red State, Reason, Breitbart because despite your shitty accusation I do pay attention.

If Hillary deserves prison than the whole Bush administration should be their own chain gang. Talk about private servers and deleted emails and possibly (most definitely) some war crimes. Hillary was an easy target as a woman, and as a woman whose record wasn't squeaky clean but she was still a threat. Which is why that orange egg has laser focus on her and wants his supporters too as well. He wants her every little moved watched judged and then lied about. It's a distraction from the reality that Trump is dangerous, that he has no policy, no regard for the Constitution or the people of America. THAT HE IS PUTIN'S PUPPET! The man's record in business and in life should be enough to prove that there is no level he wont stoop to. Intimidation, lies, threats, manipulation, you name it he's guilty of it.

I'm less pro Hillary and more NEVER TRUMP. The man is a terrifying choice for our country. And Trumpsters need to take off the blinders and really imagine a Trump future. This is like the closest we've ever come to electing a dictator. Someone whose interests will be more important than those of the people, the man who will fuck up foreign affairs like we've never seen before. And is a woman hater.

I can't as a woman with a conscience support that man in any way. His hateful remarks towards women, the examples too many to count, the statement that women and doctors who get and give abortions should be punished. Caught on tape basically admitting sexual assault but when confronted with accusations it's a conspiracy. Ex wives with NDAs, a VP who once wanted women who had abortions to have funerals for the fetus. Trump and Pence would happily challenge Roe vs Wade. The hate filled campaign has also allowed men this fucked off courage to talk to women in the worst of ways. I have been called a cunt, libtard, feminazi and an example of why we should repeal the 19th. If that fucking buffoon gets elected I can only imagine that it will get worse.

Hillary may have her faults and may be a status quo corrupt politician but she is the safer choice. By like a million miles. I just can't deal with the Donald's deflection anymore. Or his lies or his obvious stunts that he can blame on Hillary "thugs". There is no controversy at Clinton rallies because drama isn't her shtick, that's more the style of the TV reality star and the dude who used to hang out with the WWE. I haven't seen much credible evidence that Hillary has hired anyone to conspire against Trump but we have plenty of video evidence of him inciting violence at his rallies. Dude played dirty and so many people fell for it.
