If they don't want their personal info stolen and placed on the internet, they shouldn't have run for office.

O/U of the Snowden fanbois on my FB that would say that in response to me posting an article: 4.5

i'm saying i posted a bunch of stuff about how hillary has been gross and it was met with a bunch of excuses, so it seems like people aren't that concerned. if they were concerned, they would just agree and that would be that.

.

if you'r referring to me you posted something that was pure conjecture so I told you why I didn't think it was true. sometimes you post like you're sitting in a puddle of your own urine.

Thanks for the unsolicited insult. Please go fuck yourself.

It's a thing that's done by people who don't want to critically look at their own candidate so they deflect by comparing them to someone else. It's a distraction tactic and nothing more.

Noted bullet necklace aficionado and Trump press secretary Katrina Pierson says Obama "went into Afghanistan".

Facts don't matter.

That may be true but no one here thinks Hillary Clinton is a saint or has refused to look at her critically. You continually argue against positions that don't exist. Well, it's not really arguing so much as it's grown up equivalent of stamping your feet in a temper tantrum. Just try not to slip on the piss

SK, my friend, it's not that simple. In this Presidential election we have 6 choices: Trump, Hillary, Johnson, Stein, write in and no vote. I would submit that in making our choice it's impossible NOT to compare. How else can one make an informed choice?

In my case, I've compared the choices and decided that voting for Hillary is the best alternative. Hillary is not pure as the driven snow and I weigh her transgressions in my comparison.

You (or anyone else) may not like or agree with my calculus, but deciding she is the best choice does not mean I absolve her of all her transgressions nor does it make me stupid and/or uninformed. It means I'm a human being like all other human beings trying to muddle my way through an imperfect world. In that imperfect world there are few, if any, options for purity and politics is definitely not one of them.

Dude is ridiculously revered in Philly and an anti-police brutality group seems to think his statue is kind of #$!&@ up, given what a racist, um, prick Rizzo was. I don't think this POV is ridiculous.

I can't be the only one.

I do not like him

I think they should just leave him as a unicorn:

Here's a really good book about Rizzo (check out the author):

i read that!

I bought that!

I had to choose between starting that or "God Almighty Hisself" this past weekend.

I chose wisely

That book looks pretty good. The Phils of the mid sixties were pretty good. They had a lot of good young black and Latin players besides Allen. John Briggs, Adolfo Phillips, Cookie Rojas, Fergie Jenkins, Alex Johnson, Tony Gonzalez. Also had some vets like Wes Covington and Tony Taylor.

They got rid of all of them for nothing and went straight to the toilet. It took a while, much of my youth, to get good again.
