False equivalence!

Yes, Secretary Clinton is not the best candidate ever but she will make a much better president than Mr. Trump.

This isn’t equivalence (true of false) – it’s a meaningful comparison, based on the available evidence. It also doesn’t mean that Trump wouldn’t be a terrible President; it just means that Clinton will probably also be pretty awful.

That last panel disturbs me, especially Mrs. Clinton’s way of starting yet another imperialistic war. I know she already has her sights set on Syria as a pretext.

I’ll take the bottom one please. Thanks for asking.

Well, what would be a plan to stop that part of the world from burning? Maybe go back in time and do something about Ralph Nader in 2000?

1) Not even a good paraphrase, as has been debunked by Salon of all places2) Should the Vatican remove its walls? Isreal? MEXICO ON ITS SOUTHERN BORDER?3) Yes the whole world is hypersensitive losers like some people we can see.

4) Hasn’t done it yet. Who knows.5) Too lazy to look up if that was a for it before she was against it like so many things. (And vice versa)6) Good summary of Libya and her foreign policy…

Actually the leader of North Korea came out in favor of Trump.Dictators recognize each other.

We have been droning people all along, I don’t see Trump or Clinton ending that policy. I do not see brazen ugly racism coming from Clinton. Obama’s policies have deported more illegals than W ever did, I can’t see Trump or Clinton ending those policies. I don’t see clownish and nasty xenophobia coming from Clinton. If Clinton wanted to get us into a war she would calculate it very carefully, just like her debate performance. I do not think she wants to get us into another war (and if she did we would win it, unlike a W war). If Trump blusters around like he did in his debate performance he could easily blab his way into accidental war. I prefer Clinton as Trump will do all the rows on top and on the bottom, and that is why this is a false equivalency, you present this as if Clinton is the only one who will deport illegals and drone other countries.

I don’t think the Secretary of State is the person who orders drone strikes. Why do you?

They both smoked way too much Money in college!Vote for the witch we can replace her in 2020….

JBBLAWDon’t forget, France had a hand in that map-carving too. In fact, by the early days of WW-II, Iraq was firmly in Vichy hands and was flying French and German built aircraft with Iraqi crews. The British controlled Iran, Arabia, Egypt, Trans-Jordan, and Palestine, while Lebanon and Syria, caught between the two, kept quiet, though leaning toward France. Ultimately Vichy fell and Germany repainted the insignia before falling to the British in Iraq. It was not just BP, but Anglo-Iranian Oil that was the civil power in that region.

Hippogriff: in 1923 Mobil Oil played to the House of Saud, and essentially created Saudi Arabia to their benefit: when the Saudis “nationalized” the oil, the put Mobil in charge of running things.

As to the garbage coming from BOTH camps, yes, Hillary’s stuff would basically all fit in the kitchen can under my sink, while for Trump’s lies and garbage, it would take one of those 30 foot commercial dumpsters we see most often used by contractors in hauling off old roofs, or dismantled houses or buildings.
