Choosing an incompetent person to be president of the our country was obviously an incredibly dangerous and destructive thing to do, but keep in mind that Clinton got more v**es - about three million more v**es than Trump did and also keep in mind that half of Americans are below average in intelligence. That can make us feel a little better and also splain it all.
Gee G.....Clinton the treasonous, murdering, psychopath is the one you felt would be more "competent"?
And don't get down on yourself for having "below average intelligence", it's nothing to be ashamed of.
By the way, are your meds prescription or from the street?

Chinese Torture:
A young man was wandering, lost, in a forest when he came upon a small house. Knocking on the door he was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, gray beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition: If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
"OK," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house. Before dinner the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during the night he could bear it no longer and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear and, near dawn, he crept back to his room, exhausted but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty lame," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the line that was already getting close to taut. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

OK, last one, I swear:
Chinese Sex:
There was an American man who lived in China for a while and while he was there he had a lot of sex and never used a condom.
He returned to America and one morning a few weeks later he woke up and noticed bright green and purple dots on his penis. The man freaked out.
He went to the doctor...
The doctor said "I have never seen anything like this before. We will need to run some tests."
So they ran some tests and he said come back in 3 days for your test results.
The man came back in 3 days and the doctor said "I have some bad news. You have a disease called pongolion HP. It is very uncommon here and we know little about it. I'm sorry sir but we will have to amputate your penis."
The man was horrified, so...
He went to a Chinese doctor thinking he would get a second opinion.
The doctor said "oh yes, pongolion HP, vewy ware. Yes." Said the Chinese Doctor.
"The American doctor wants to amputate my penis."
"Stupid Amewican doctah, make more money that way, no need amputate."
"Oh thank God" said the man.
"Yes, wait 2 weeks, fall off by itself."

Currency Exchange
A Chinese man walked into the currency exchange in New York City with 2100 yuan and walked out with $300.
The following week, he walked in with another 2100 yuan, and was handed $276.
He asked the teller why he got less money that week than the previous week.
The teller said, "Fluctuations."
The Chinese man stormed out, and just before slamming the door, turned around and shouted, "Fluc you Amelicans, too!"
Drumroll, please!

School Lunch
Two Chinese exchange students arrive at the university cafeteria for lunch and ask what was available for lunch and were told there were pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs and fries.
They each order a hot dog and sit down at a table to eat.
After one unwraps the tin foil off his hot dog he looks at the hot dog and asks the other "So what part of the dog did you get?"

I see. You certainly have a way of endearing people to your cause, don't you? My first ad-hominem attack of the day. Of the week, actually. And I was doing so well...
Anyway, what is it about my post that makes you assert that I "don't have a clue what it takes to be a police officer"? Hmm?

“The tiny houses provide immediate shelter,” he explains. “People can lock their stuff up and know that when they come back... their stuff is where they left it.”
http://libertycrier.com/la-musician-built-1200-tiny-houses-homeless-city-seized/
"LA city officials, however, had a different plan... City Council responded by amending a sweeps ordinance to allow the tiny houses to be seized without prior notice... residents were left back on the sidewalk."
Then there's this little gem:
“Everything that they have been doing doesn’t work. It’s just years of circles and bureaucratic holds and wait times,” says Summers. “10, 20, 30, 40 years—where’s all the housing?”
It's right where the City council wants it to be. "A decade after the city’s first 10-year plan to end homelessness withered in 2006, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced in February a $1.87 billion proposal to get all LA residents off the streets, once and for all. He and the City Council aim to build 10,000 units of permanent housing with supportive services over the next decade." That's a cost of $187,000 apiece. And that will not be sufficient to house all of the currently homeless, never mind how many there may be in 10 years, unless, of course, the city council passes an ordinance criminalizing homelessness. "The National Coalition for the Homeless reports that there is a growing trend in the United States towards criminalizing the state of being homeless. Proponents of this approach believe that punitive measures will deter people from choosing to be homeless." In what universe does anybody in their right mind 'choose' to be homeless?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-homelessness_legislation
At $1200 apiece, $1.87 billion would be enough to build 1,500,000 of these 'tiny houses'. Oh, and they're available NOW. However, there are a few 'problems':
1/ They use solar panels for electricity - No electric bill.
2/ They are fitted with a 'camping toilet' - No sewer bill.
3/ They're not classed as 'real estate' and therefore can't be 'taxed'.
Clearly, we can't have people just living as free as they please. Society demands its 'fair share'. Beam me up, Scotty.

... Because Feds Finally Put Some Effort Into Counting Them
Now, if they'd just count them ALL, we'd have a solid starting point.
http://reason.com/blog/2016/12/21/number-of-k*****gs-by-police-doubles-bec
The "Arrested Related Death (ARD) [sic]" program "reviews open information sources, including news outlets and official agency documents, to identify potential arrest-related deaths". (Yep, you read that right, "'potential' arrest-related deaths", not even 'actual'.) Can police agencies nationwide not be trusted to report their own k*****gs for statistical records? If not, why not? "Arrest-Related Death". Dying should be the last thing you worry about when encountering a law enforcement officer; "To protect and serve", and all that. Unfortunately, it happens about 3 times a day, and that's according to the 'official' numbers, garnered from newspaper reports, no less. Maybe the reports being used to generate these egregiously high numbers are all 'f**e news' designed to scare us... Well, I don't feel very 'protected' knowing that, in the presence of such heavily-armed law enforcement officers, should I make a move that they don't like, or possibly 'feel' threatened by, I might be k**led or seriously wounded, because 'qualified immunity', you know:
"Qualified immunity is a doctrine in U.S. federal law that arises in cases brought against state officials under 42 U.S.C Section 1983 and against federal officials under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Qualified immunity, when applicable, shields government officials from liability, unless their actions are found to violate an individual's federal constitutional rights." Nice. Apparently there is no constitutional right to 'life'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualified_immunity
Given the known numbers (the real numbers are assuredly much higher), is it any wonder that certain individuals are targeting police officers sitting at traffic lights and such? If I was a cop, I'd be nervous too.
http://abc13.com/news/las-vegas-officer-shot-while-stopped-at-traffic-light/972559/
I couldn't be a cop. Not that law enforcement is against any personal value or anything, just that I wouldn't last very long. I'd be out looking for 'real' criminals, not enforcing punitive 'victimless' crimes and harassing people for money because they fail to wear seat belts, etc.. That wouldn't fly with the higher-ups in law enforcement. I'd be looking for work in a month. No, I really couldn't be a cop.

no propaganda please wrote:
“That’s why it’s so important that public universities model the First Amendment values they are supposed to be teaching to students, and why it should disturb everyone that GGC and many other colleges are communicating to a generation that the Constitution doesn’t matter."
Schools and colleges have no mandate whatsoever to be 'teaching' morals or values. That is under the purview of the parents. If parents relinquish that responsibility to the kind of people we have in our schools and universities today, then they have no business complaining when their offspring turn out to be completely incapable of arguing a point with facts and logic. Ever notice how some people default to threats and name-calling whenever they feel that they have an adversary who cannot be refuted? Now you know why and where they got it from. As Brad Spangler notes in his treatise 'S******n on the Installment Plan', "[l]earn to be a bastard, but learn to be a logical bastard. Make sure they're calling you a bastard because they can't refute your logic." {https://www.nolanchart.com/article10072-zingers-from-a-pro-html} The article closes out by saying:
“Today’s college students will be tomorrow’s legislators, judges, commissioners, and v**ers.”
Now there's a nice little nugget of t***h. Seeing they're being 'educated' by people for whom the Constitution really doesn’t matter (Socialists and C*******ts, mostly), is it any wonder that legislators, judges, commissioners, etc. are so corrupt? How can they make moral, ethical decisions if they have no moral compass to guide them? In many cases, the parents are not to blame. They were never instilled with morals or values either. This goes back generations, which makes it all the worse.
As for college 'education', check this out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw1MMzYU1Aw
America's brightest and best in action. Need I say more? Again, it's not their fault. Blame the system that was specifically designed to produce exactly these results, like this Congressman who thinks Guam is going to capsize:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7XXVLKWd3Q
What universe is this guy living in? How does that navy officer he's interviewing keep a straight face? He doesn't miss a beat! Listening to how he frames his questions about Guam's surface area, I wondered if he wasn't stoned or otherwise high on something quite potent. The big hint to his total cluelessness is his huge concern for the welfare of the coral reefs if it should 'tip over', having absolutely no regard for the 200,000 people who might drown!
Anyway, back to this universe. While it is true that the first amendment guarantees a right to speak freely, it does not guarantee a right to a platform from which to speak. Schools and colleges really have no business getting involved in the rights or wrongs of free speech, or, for that matter, in the rights or wrongs of what is being said. They should be more concerned with providing the kind of education these students will be able to put to good use in adult life. Once again, the assault on the family has ensured that our youth are being abandoned to the tender ministrations of a system that sees 'free speech' as a threat that must be controlled and suppressed wherever it lifts it's politically-incorrect head. This is wrong on soooo many levels.
The youngsters in our colleges and universities are supposed to be our brightest and best. If they are to counter the worst of ideas and ideologies, they must first be exposed to them and allowed the opportunity to refute them on their own, using their own logic and reasoning. To do otherwise is to send them unarmed into a battle of wits that gets more critical every day.

A good idea... Citizens have phones with video capability and the police should too..Later when anything comes in question they will have it all right there.. Protects police and citizens...
Supposedly. In reality, the cops find ways around the use of car and body cameras. For instance, a suspect is taken out of car camera shot for his beating and the only recording is audio of a cop yelling "stop resisting" as he beats the crap out of him. In those circumstances, the camera actually reinforces the cop's assertion of the guy resisting arrest and so he was 'subdued'. It is absolutely better than nothing but still there are limitations.
