Try driving around DC and Baltimore. There is a toll road that charges $6 for 15 miles, then the same road continues on with a new set of tolls at Dulles Airport leading into DC. There aren’t where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismissed with prejudice. If we're compiling a list of "offenses," I uncharitably submit that @MPT is an idiot for listing accusations found to be without merit. 3 minutes ago, MPT said: My bad, I didn't realize crimes weren't crimes if multiple people committed them. They're not crimes if the court dismisses them with the observation "These aren't crimes." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddest part is, I neither canidate could have won against anyone else. Just because I hate a good number of things Trump's done (still waiting for the mexicans to pay for the wall...) doesn't mean democrats past or present get a free pass. I'd be tickled to see Trump and Hillary in the same cell, tbh. I'm not a Trump fan, I personally think he needs to keep his mouth shut and stay the hell off social media. I'm just sick an tired of hearing all the bitching about him and people not referring to him as President. Respect the office not the person.

(same to MPT ) There's a learning curve down here, and I should have started slower because I value conversation and sharing ideas/information - not just saying "I'm right, you're wrong" and leaving it at that. Second - the crimes Clinton avoided responsibility for (so far) are far worse than anything Trump's done. She violated NatSec and sold out the country to foreign adversaries - including sensitive IC information which (more than likely) got dozens of CIA NOCs killed. She colluded with Russian intelligence officers to smear a political rival and then used the same outlets and connections to Russian IC to try to overthrow a legally elected POTUS. She committed treason and sedition - many times. That's not even in the same ball park as a (possibly) corrupt business magnate getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It's not a campaign violation when it came from personal funds. John Edwards proves this as well. Hanging your hat on Stormy and McDougal is a sure way to end up disappointed. The only thing worse to hang your hat on is Russian collusion/conspiracy which has been proven to be bunk after two + years of hype. Big changes are coming in the narrative. I suggest you prepare for disappointment. Thanks. Fighting bronchitis, so I was a bit more terse then I should have been. I apologize for that. I think what I hate seeing most is hypocracy, people condemning one person for doing the same thing in another the absolve. That goes both ways. Depending on political leanings people are quick to throw out "witch hunt", yet if it were someone else of opposing leanings, they'd be first in line with torch and pitchfork. Many people here that say this whole thing is a waste of taxpayer dollars would be singing a different tune were it Hillary who tried to buy the team. That's the point I was trying to make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 1 minute ago, Foxx said: what exactly is wrong with the Electoral College? Specifically the all or nothing nature. If you live in a state with a heavy lean to one color, your vote carries less weight then if you live in a battlefield state. A system implemented to force canidates to focus on small states as well a big has somehow morphed to one where canidates only focus on a handful of key states.

I have my own (poor) opinions on the Electoral Collage, but it's still the current system. The Electoral College works both ways, you know. There are a lot of small blue states, like there are small red states. And candidates would run extremely different campaigns if the popular vote won the race. Direct representation is for the House, and the Senate is supposed to represent the States. Giving states a more equal say, while still taking population sizes into account, is important.
