Which needs a special note. As used by the ignorant (not you !!) the rifle used by the current military here is the M-16 which is an assault rifle (it has selective fire including auto fire - required to be an assault rifle). The AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle (unless illegally modified with illegally purchasable if used to modify same parts). There is a definite difference which a lot of anti gun persons refuse to acknowledge and a lot of areas try to get around by describing appearance rather than actual function. ARs get beat by troop selective fires pretty successfully.

Trump's Little Stormtroopers....
As Spike Jones (the real one, not a rapper) said: "Ve heil, heil right in der fuhrer's face!" |

Note: it does not say a corporation is a citizen, it just makes corporations equivalent to a person for lawsuits and other specified things.
The basic one is the suing. Acts of the corporation that is being sued may result in fines/payments having to be made by the corporation - but does not allow suing individuals absent specific proof they are individually responsible for some act. |

I was being rhetorical, but thanks. I know that the courts have interpreted it that way, but that is no more a literal translation of the Constitution than Roe v Wade. SO when people get all high and mighty over phrases like living document and original intent, they should bear in mind that there are many phrases in the document that are interpreted quite loosely.

In all honesty, if someone put a gun to my head and told me I had to cast a vote for one or the other, I would vote for Hillary. Hillary Clinton is a know quantity, we know exactly what we're going to get with Hillary Clinton as president. More corruption, more criminality, more pay to play with Clinton, Inc. Another doubling or even tripling of the national debt. More power and control flowing to government and less freedom and liberty for the people. The best we can hope for Republicans to hold Congress and at least limit the damage. All that being said, Trump is worse. A populist demagogue who believes in nothing but his own power and doesn't know the meaning of the words honesty or character. That and being dumb enough to be manipulated by the alt-reich and the other national socialist scumbags that he has as hanger-ons doesn't bode very well for anyone. But luckily, I don't have to make that Sophie's Choice. Given where I live, my vote for president means exactly jack squat. My view on the whole issue is that if you're trying to decide which candidate is the lesser evil to vote for, you're still voting for evil. |

Here is a article discussing it.
But you can go ahead and dismiss it because it is from the liberal rag the National Review. http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...ot-if-its-true |

I find it amusing that you say that under Clinton we can expect a doubling or tripling of the debt. I challenge you to go back and look to see that the only President in the last 50 years who reduced the debt was Bill Clinton.
I think it's nonsense to say Hillary is evil. |

And again, you are demonstrably wrong.
I know very well what constitutes "the left" and "the right"--and the actual definitions do not orthographically map to your epithets at all. At all. I don't need the actual definitions, as used lexicographically correctly, explained to me; I own the words and use them, accurately. I just sometimes wonder at the ways you, personally, use them. |

the predators presidency sure wasn't headed in that direction, he was forced by the congress, but I do give him credit for working with them, now he'll have that lasting legacy. What will Obama have? He had a pen and a phone and in the end he'll have nothing, because he didn't work with congress!
