Hillary should be in jail in my opinion, so I guess I'm voting Trump.

So yesterday at work I had to go to a mandatory PRIVAC briefing for my job. (I work in the IT field and transfer classified material from different networks on a weekly basis). An example was given that happened last year to a NSA government employee who was retiring. He took two boxes of classified documents to his house when he retired. He was caught and stated he was only going to use the information for his new job because he did not want to forget information when he transferred to the public sector as a contractor. Needless to say this man is now in prison. Here is a copy of the law Clinton broke:

Section 1924 of Title 18 has to do with deletion and retention of classified documents. "Knowingly" removing or housing classified information at an "unauthorized location" is subject to a fine or a year in prison.

Total double standard. What this man did and what Clinton and her cronies did are both illegal and should have been punished equally. This is an example of why so many Americans including myself are pissed off and want Trump to win. Trump is not part of the Beltway corruption that has been going on in America for decades. It is time to clean house.

Hate when politicians don't vote for what's best for USA but rather what's best for party.
Both parties guilty

I agree both parties are guilty of this. I was referring to Kate's Law specifically.

I also could care less about the main 2 candidates that are running for office...I think Clinton is a lying bitch puppet, and I feel Trump's view's are wayyyy tooooo far out there......dont feel like either of them deserve to be president...

I'd say you're missing my point, but I think you understand my point completely and instead are ignoring it to look at technicalities so that you can be "right". I put right in quotations because you're not even being right, you're just not wrong. You've done this multiple times in this thread already. Congratulations, you're not wrong. But you're ignoring the entire debate I and other posters have been making.

BLM and the Trump movement both have good qualities, but the problem is that each are being taken advantage of by people who have deep seated hatred. They are using each as a facade to display their hate in public. It's always been there, but it's now easier to display on the streets. The media is there to broadcast it 24/7 to the public, which is reaching more of these types of people.

You have a 1:55 chance of being a victim of a violent crime there.

I am of the opinion that MOST of the law enforcement in this country is great, and truly to 'protect and serve' the citizens.

If a group of ordinary citizens has to be formed to raise awareness about the injustice of the police, police brutality, racial profiling, murder due to race/color, ask yourself why?

This shouldn't be happening, so it's being addressed. NOT always correctly, but it's in the media, so it's front page news now.

If you don't think there are activists that have been and STILL are working tirelessly to save innocent BLACK/BROWN lives in the inner cities, you're wrong. But it's not as sensational for the media, and it's also been proven that a police officer's life is more important than an ordinary citizens.

Right/wrong, that's the way it is.

Ask yourself this...why is Joakim Noah known more for a simple, stupid interview he gave regarding how uncool Cleveland was than the work he did in Chicago to curb gun violence and save children's lives?

Both incidents on the same busy street. Recently, a 16yo boy was found shot to death in someone's backyard.

In Muskegon Heights, you have a 1:13 chance of being a victim of a property crime.

I agree with a lot of this and I will add that I think the media is largely to blame for their sensationalist reporting of these issues. I don't remember where, but this past week a police force had a cookout with a large group of blacks and actually had productive conversation about what has been going on. Why aren't the major media outlets covering that? Imagine if all of those events were getting a fraction of the attention as some of these shootings (not going to get into the issue of misleading headlines, writing stories so certain things seem one way when in reality we don't know hardly any details yet)

Again Dave, congrats. You're not wrong.

I do believe that of the 2 that Trump would surround himself with better, more qualified people in his cabinet. Mrs. Clinton would just appoint more people who have never had a private sector job since they were 16.

What makes you think that? His VP pick certainly wasn't any better of a person. Seems to me he would appoint who he wants

Edit- Think I misread this, do you mean you think Trump would appoint better/more qualified people than Hillary?

Actually I'd probably even give a slight edge to Trump in 2008 given some of his success and yes, I know he had some failing businesses as well.

It was late and I got the year wrong. I'll press you farther here, how is Trump just as qualified as Obama was in 2008? I really don't see how you could possibly make that claim. Obama had...

-Served in the Illinois Senate 1997-2003
-Served in the U.S. Senate 2005-2008

That's ignoring his schooling in law and politics. I'd like to see Trumps political background? No, his business background does not count. It's drastically different. As far as I'm aware, Trump has 0 political background

Food for thought, sure seems like there's a good number of people voting for Hillary because they won't vote for Trump too

See above. Of course, I expect nothing less from your lone post in this thread

Do you even collect bro?

Without a doubt. I think he would staff a Team of Rivals approach.

She will appoint nothing but career hacks.

Got it, thanks. I have no evidence to refute that and haven't really thought about my own opinion

And I expect nothing more from your posts in every thread, misinformed.

How many people will post in this thread, and not vote because they don't want other members to see which way they are leaning?

I'm sure he was on many "do not deal" lists long before that comment

[preakness]

America has so many negatives (racial, security, economic).
Let's elect career politicians over and over even though those same politicians might be the reason some of the negatives exist

If the neighborhood I live in is brutal, and my grandparents struggled, and my parents struggled, and I'm struggling, and my prediction is that my kids and their kids will struggle then why would I continue with starts quo?

Why wouldn't I look at having political experience as being a bad thing??!!

If a hitter is hitting .225 after 400 at bats why would I want to give him 650
At bats? At some point cut his ass because he sucks and try something new

Otherwise, you're the Minnesota Twins with the poor hitter

Yes, try something new. You know, like maybe call up a player from the minors or trade for another player. But would you just grab someone who's never played baseball before?? Probably not

Missing your point? Nope, correcting your misinformation which you flat out admitted was misinformation after I presented the actual facts to you which came directly from his speeches. If you do not wish to read my posts or replies then by all means add me to your ignore list

Hahahaha, well done
