I think I've been very clear what my stance is -- I think that either Trump or Clinton will be terrible as our President, both for very different reasons, and trying to choose which one of them to vote for is like trying to choose whether I want to drink a cup a strychnine or a cup of arsenic. While Trump is obviously and overtly detestable, when I look at Clinton's governmental history, things are very chilling. While she had indeed worked for many goals I agree with, she works equally hard for other goals that I think are so harmful that they cancel out the good (mostly on economic, foreign policy, and governmental issues). "Men like you..." You started by saying you didn't know me, and this comment just proves it. I am far more aware of, and care more about, the dangers women (and by extension, all abused subgroups) face than you can ever imagine.

Your positions on this type issue are well established, and I recognize that nothing I, or anyone, say or write will change your mind, just as you will not change my mind. But I will close this conversation by simply saying that I fail to understand those who feel it is their place to say how much money someone should make, how many taxes they should pay, and beyond the scope of this conversation, what wages an employer should pay or benefits. That sounds to me like entitlement mentality, or jealousy at it worst. Would you also decide who should pay how much for their cars or homes?

Hardly anyone is talking about the $430 million that the city has to contribute to this bailout plan. According to the mayor, this is the estimated amount to cover HART’s administrative and marketing costs. (He received the amount in a “terms” document from legislators.) HART’s current operating budget is about $21 million, so the $430 million appears to go from the formation of HART through the proposed extension date of 2030. Over the next 13 years, the city will have to come up with about $33 million annually to cover this. If rail is operational, at least in part, then millions more will be added to the city’s operating budget. (Cont .)

Andree, You are always a stickler for process and procedure; however, apparently not in this case. Each House member represents about 17,000 Alaskans and on this particular issue 187,000 Alaskans had their elected representatives at the table; however the remaining 493,000 Alaskans were effectively disenfranchised. We know how 11 Representatives of them voted on on this issues how you suppose the other 29 might have voted? You and I will never know. My point is that the rules of procedure do not allow this. My other point is that there are no rules of procedure any longer. Someday again you will be that voice of reason in the wilderness. At that time, when you could desperately use the rule of law that gains you access to the forum, remember how you relished the time when abuse of the process won and how that victory was all that counted.

Dennis Richardson wrote a letter to the Oregonian in 1990 saying that "a woman relinquishes her unfettered right to control her own body when her actions cause the conception of a baby." As a state legislator, he sponsored legislation to give unborn fetuses the rights of humans and to require parental notification for abortions. In 2007, he voted against mandating that hospitals offer emergency contraception to women who have been sexually assaulted. So Richardson's statement “I have absolutely zero in common with Donald Trump" is clearly bunk. Policy wise, he has 100% in common with the Republican presidential candidate. He actively supports discrimination against women and therefore, must not be elected to the office of Secretary of State.

Which poll shows Trump down by only 1 point. There is one poll done by the LA Times that is not widely recognized as mathematically sound because it uses controversial methods. That poll shows Trump down by 3 or 4 points. Even the latest Fox News poll has Trump down by 10 points. The assessment by the mathematicians who have correctly predicted the last few presidential contests gives Clinton a better than 80% chance of winning. That does not mean she polls at 80%. It means that given the states that will almost certainly wind up in the Democratic column (like NY and California) and the swing states she is leading by double digits the likelihood of her winning is great. Nothing is certain, but at this stage in the campaign she has a 4 out of 5 chance to win.

[The PF has money from oil sales.] Never said it didn't. The point was about your hypothetical "offer" as it wasn't wholly accurate. It is one of the many problems with your "law of contract" argument. [Here's a for instance: you have a trustee sell your boat] That's not how trusts and trustees work. Now you're conflating contracts and trusts. The trustee possesses the boat once you establish the trust. You can make suggestions to the trustee but whether or not to sell the boat is in the trustee's discretion. [Then the trustee gives you the money for the boat.] That is not how a trust works either. Any money made from the sale of trust property goes to the trust. It also depends on how the trust is structured, most notably if there is a spendthrift clause. [there's a term for that] Self-dealing.

Whatever else it may or may not be, "racism" is certainly a word. It seems like most people see it as a bad word, and prefer that it not apply to them. That preference may be served, at no great cost, by labeling people one imagines to be unlike one's self as the true bearers of the word, as true "racists." It may also be served by fixing upon a definition of the word that is personally congenial, so that a person who is sure that the best thing would be for Blacks to have their own separate country, where they might grow and prosper, and not live among Whites who would likewise be free to grow and prosper, can be confident that he is not racist. He holds no animosity for Blacks, he wishes them nothing he does not wish for himself, and so he is obviously free of the sin of "racism." And he can argue that the actual "racists" are those who propose school quotas for minority students, in terms of race. (cont.)

When if was shown that he had indeed destroyed all WMD programs and stockpiles as well as inviting the UNSCOM inspectors back into the country in October of 2002 that should have been the end of Bush's adventure. He used that vote of confidence, that united show of support he enjoyed from the congress to wage an illegal war of choice anyway.

You may wish to reconsider your proclivity for making sweeping assertions based upon one person's statement. Similarly with your implication that I am an ignoramus for not having attended an Ontario school: with all due respect to the Ontario school system, I rather think that my education at an English grammar school was far and away superior. Also, once you have bought a property, the increases in the value of that property compared with small hikes in your income actually work in your favour, unless interest rates surge to flatten the market and carrying costs become unbearable. Given reasonable stability, however, the suggestion that property prices in the GTA could decline 50% is absurd.

I think it would be pretty good if he does what he's saying he will do. Sending reservists almost exclusively to deal with a flood, when their employers are giving them up, makes the alleged generosity of the government look utterly stupid. It is clearly obvious that our regular forces are over extended. Sending our 18 and 19 year old children into battle with substandard or obsolete equipment when we are a wealthy country is, in my opinion, criminal, yet that has been going on since Trudeau Version 1. Removing the embedded politics and corruption from military procurement decisions would be pretty amazing too. Sending our children into harms way and then many returning physically or mentally damaged, and we don't properly care for them after is also criminal. Mr. Sajjan made a big mistake, inexplicably exaggerating his already exemplary Afghanistan experience, though I will easily forgive him if he does what he has promised here.

Oh! I thought the second case was about the educational system teaching gender issues at such a young age. Without doubt Francis, IMHO, agrees with you that gentle kindness is the only correct disposition in dealing with either the child or the adult. And kag's suggestion that we already know what the issue is with the adult, but many further question have to be asked before we could even guess at what the child is experiencing. Personally, I am really delighted with this story. Until now, I was afraid that Francis' prior reference to gender theory were founded on a denial of "one finding one self in the wrong body" as a possibility.

Maybe you can't understand but I'll try to explain why you are asking the wrong questions. It's not what Hillary can say or how much of Bernie's platform she says she will support. There is a huge trust gap that will be very hard to bridge. That won't happen with empty promises. It will happen with action. Adopting an anti TPP policy in the platform is not adopting more of Bernie's platform to appease his supporters, it's backing up her words (says she's against TPP) with actions (puts it in the platform.) Aside from that, Bernies supporters have many grievances that need acknowledged and addressed before we can consider giving her our vote. It seems she would rather focus on attacking Trump than mending bridges. I fear that won't be a winning strategy but it's her choice to make. She can't dismiss the grievances and expect us to fall in line because Trump.
