This is good, it will pull more of Hillary’s deplorables over to Stein....
Yes, logically HilLIARy should get Stein’s votes because their politics are so similar
we don’t happen to know any Stein voters. but we know quite a lot of Bernie supporters. Bernie and HilLIARy have almost same politics, too. So logically Bernie people should vote for HIlLIARY. But many of them refuse to vote for her.
They will vote for Trump If He keeps talking, promising to clean out the Corruption in WASHdc. Otherwise, they’ll just stay home and not vote they say. They won’t vote for more corruption (HilLIARy). The reason they supported Bernie in the first place... was that he looked like a far more honest commie than HIlLIARy. Trump can get a good share of the Bernie support base, ....
Yeah, right...and have an America-hating international court find him not guilty.
His defense would have been the same as Hitler's, had he survived WWii: I neffer killed anyvun, I vas only giffing orders!
You need to familiarize yourself with the actual details of the raid. Flying in two helicopters over a long distance in the middle of the night penetrating Pakistani airspace without authorization and sending in personnel into a compound that presented plenty of unknowns was just the beginning. There was no way to know what kind of resistance there would be.
The SEALs encountered the residents in the compound's guest house, in the main building on the first floor where two adult males lived, and on the second and third floors where bin Laden lived with his family. The second and third floors were the last section of the compound to be cleared.
Osama bin Laden was killed in the raid, and initial versions said three other men and a woman were killed as well: bin Laden's adult son Khalid, bin Laden's courier (Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti), al-Kuwaiti's brother Abrar, and Abrar's wife Bushra.
The SEALs encountered bin Laden on the third floor of the main building. Bin Laden was "wearing the local loose-fitting tunic and pants known as a kurta paijama", which were later found to have €500 and two phone numbers sewn into the fabric.
Bin Laden peered through his bedroom door at the Americans advancing up the stairs, and then retreated into the room as the lead SEAL fired a shot at him, which either missed or hit him in the side. Robert O’Neill, who later publicly identified himself as the SEAL who shot bin Laden, rolled through the door and confronted bin Laden inside the bedroom.
O'Neill states that bin Laden was standing behind a woman with his hands on her shoulders, pushing her forward. O'Neill immediately shot bin Laden twice in the forehead, then once more as bin Laden crumpled to the floor. Matt Bissonnette, who entered the room at about the same time, also claims to have fired shots into bin Laden's fallen body.
Asking a SEAL to capture bin Laden at the risk of his own life is nonsense. There was no way to know if bin Laden had a suicide vest on. Or if the room was booby trapped in any way. The mission was not to capture bin Laden.
I would hate to have to order killing bin Laden. Because it would mean that I couldn’t pull the trigger on the sonofabitch personally.
He could have been taken alive; he was unarmed. Wonder why he wasn’t?

Instead of trying him, they should have tried to see if he could fly from an altitude of about 1,000 feet.
She would’ve brought him to America and given him billions of dollars and millions of acres of land to do with as he pleased.
Jill has a Green brain.
A head of lettuce, and less intelligent.
Aside from the possibility of his revelations about people who had supported him, he was killed for the same reason that Mary Queen of Scots or Czar Nicholas II were killed, instead of being allowed to rot in prison. He would have been a center and a cause for all sorts of anti-government plots.
Cheaper and less risky to put a bullet in him.
Perfect fit for the disgruntled, Bernie voter.
That is true.
Well for one thing then we can actually verify it’s him. Then we can publicly execute him, so it’s not just us having to believe Obie. Or not, maybe lock him up next to Charlie Manson, let them rave at each other, could be funny.
Based on the Canadian voting experience, the upper limit for the Green Party is about 4 to 5 per cent. They have managed to elect one (of 308) MP and they briefly had a second one who left the socialist party we have in our parliament and was then not re-elected in 2015.
The voters for the Green Party here tend to be a mixture of ultra-leftists, environmentalcases, and political mavericks who seem to think the Green Party are an answer to corruption in politics. They do considerably better on the west coast than anywhere else, and they don’t run candidates in every riding but where they do, their average vote is about 4 to 5 per cent.
They run in the low double digits in some European countries. In general, their only real effect on politics is to reduce the chances of an actual socialist government so, sshhhh.
I would not have hired you to weed my garden, Jill.
