Not at the moment. But there's been plenty of threads on it already on NSG. Earliest I could find dates back to April: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=373952&start=425

I'd rather not go back to a thread that's months old.

I'm not a particular fan of Hillary, and I would actually consider voting for a Republican in this election. Unfortunately, there are no Republicans in this election, just Hillary and a ferret nesting on top of a partially-melted Kewpie doll. Therefore, Hillary gets my vote.

Well, if you said what you meant, as opposed to what you said, then maybe I wouldn't have had to correct you. Clarity is important.

My post was clear and not in need of correction.

If it stops trending, after trending, and people cry foul, then they are crying foul because it is not trending.

It's a statement, not an argument. An argument would be more along the lines of "Hillary could be a literal mafiosa and she'd still be a better pick over a tiny-fingered man child like Trump, because then she's at least displayed some adeptness at governing a large group" or "Hillary is a politician, Trump isn't really and I'm not sure what he's even trying to do" or "you shouldn't bitch so hard about voting for someone who's corrupt, you did it the last 20 years without putting up this much of a fuss", or even "none of this is really relevant when Trump's sins are still worse".

Now you can tell the difference, hope that helped. :)

Yep, except Republicans were open about it, and withered most of the storm. Democrats weren't, and the storm's just hitting them now.

The thing I think should be a blow to Hillary is the proof that the Democratic establishment had the primaries rigged against Sanders. I was honestly surprised more Sanders supporters didn't go to Trump after he sold out to Hillary. But hopefully this will help Trump.

The rebels in Syria are backed by Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and number Al-Qaeda (whom both states support in Syria) among their ranks; if they gain control, the state will change from a secular one, into a Islamist nightmare.

First of all I doubt the plan she's proposing there is still possible with Turkey being as it is right now (kowtowing to Putin and pulling out of Syria).

Second, getting rid of Assad is a noble goal. He's a tyrant, and I see no convincing argument for Iran wielding influence over Israel.

they're moderate than the saudis that our government has been kneeling in front of since 1991.

I heard mention that Wikileaks has more dirt on Hillary and that the DNC leak is the first in a series of reveals. They *may* have a bigger reveal planned for sometime after the DNC. It's actually a good strategy to release the most damning evidence closer to the election so the democracts don't have enough time to enact a plan B.

Honestly at this point I'm on the edge of my seat. Short of literally personally carrying out a string of murders I'm not sure what else you can expose her for at this point.

No, but winding down our involvement in an organization where we do everyone's bitch work and the other members act like lazy welfare queens is good for us, and dropping the war-mongering rhetoric that we need to intervene in Ukraine or against Assad is being diplomatic towards Russia.

Russia is not some Hitleresque threat.

If Hillary ever gets us into a pointless, disastrous war with Russia, I'll be expecting to see you on the frontlines, since you seem so eager.



Poland, 5% of their budget goes for defence, far more than the required 2%.

It's mostly the smaller countries in western europe like Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Denmark.
