Agreed. The global population explosion is bad enough, along with oligarchic elites seizing greater power. This exacerbates both. First only the superrich become not only superrich but immortal, feeding off the blood of poor children, clones or whatever. Then it becomes available to the middle class and exponential population growth becomes hyper-exponential as fewer die, and we completely overwhelm the carrying capacity of the planet.

The Democratic National Committee is not part of the government, so their members or leadership not being totally square with respect to potential nominees is not illegal, thus not "crimes". Whether you want to be influenced by Russian dicator gangsters exposing their dirty laundry to grease their pet schmuck's way to the presidency is up to you. It's not even surprising, considering Bernie Sanders has been blasting the Democratic Party establishment for decades, basically his whole career, for most of which he didn't even label himself a Democrat.

Trump is more to the Putin than just an idiot. He's practically the Putin president fan club. Also, Trump has ripped off his own investors so often that no sensible bank or investor will give him anything, so he's been funding all his projects by laundering Russian and eastern european mafia money for several decades. No one trusts a cherry picked link so go search for yourself - "Felix Sater" "Felix Satter"...

What a bunch of crap. The President is hardly powerless, and a President Trump should be terrifying to any thinking American. Simply hinting that the United States will not stand by NATO could result in Russian aggression in the Baltics and Central Asia and general destabilization in Europe. Nominating even worse Supreme Court Justices than Bush could result in further erosion of the civil liberties gained in the last 50 years. If you're unhappy about Citizen's United, just wait for Trump's nominees. While Hillary has not taken what I consider to be principled stands on many issues, such as approving Dick Cheney's war in Iraq, she is basically leftish middle of the road as far as congress goes. While I would have preferred the option to vote Sanders, the "incompetent warmonger" tag could , by your logic, be applied to most of congress for the past 200 years.
