THat is a nice attempt at steering away from what we are talking about btw. Correct me if I'm in error, but hasn't this been established already? The bombshell new revelation that Trump likened to be greater than Watergate and described by HIM as being about quid pro quo is corroboration of what we already knew and what the FBI has already admonished for and was baked into the election before the primaries even started? I get it. If you think the email server disqualifies her this is simply a new indirect reminder of that. But that is NOT the way it was being sold yesterday by Trump or you. The goalposts on why this is significant and worth attention has been moved. As such, it has not received a great deal of attention. Not because of the corrupt MSN, but because there is just no there there. The supposed new revelation was at best a misrepresentation and at worst a mischaracterization, which reasonable people told you 24 hours ago. I think it fairly stands as evidence of the desperation of anti-Clinton people and the ability of people to filter out the full story to focus in on and interpret things through their subjective lense. In other words, that entire story was pitched (Watergate, really?) because of an agenda and accepted because of confirmation bias. Veritas - As is the accusation. You seem at least informed enough to know Project Veritas has come under scrutiny in the past for their methods and that can't be dismissed from this equation. I also think you'd be naive to believe the politics of dirty tricks is somehow exclusive to one party. But that all said, I think any case that surfaces must be investigated on the same grounds anything else is investigated - if enough evidence or testimony emerges warranting one. And if illegal activity is involved, it should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as high up the chain as it goes. If no illegal but just improper activity takes place, any party involved including the Democratic one should police themselves strictly, which appears to have already happened to some degree here. But no, I'm not going to defend, dismiss or rationalize what's been accused of here as anything but unAmerican and completely unacceptable. |

THat is a nice attempt at steering away from what we are talking about btw. Yes, he has been sued and also arrested for intent to commit a felony in a federal building. He was trying to expose Landrieu. He exposed Acorn and planned parenthood too. For sure he is agenda driven. That being said, it does not excuse what is being exposed. As to the other thing, it establishes an attempt to influence whether a bribe was offered or not or accepted or not. As to her involvement, are we really to believe that she and Kennedy did not discuss this at all esp since it had to with Benghazi where the State Dept was under fire and they were both brought into question? Apparently you do. I don't. |

![]() I have never really taken Charles Barkley to task for many of his outrageous statements...I have often chalk it up to one's guys opinion... But to grant an interview to CNN, and be absolutely uninformed on the topic is just beyond comprehension...He says he votes democratic but he does like Hillary because..I wish he would articulate his reasons without the cop out answer..He has a voice that people listen to.. Have reasons ready for your opinion before saying yes to a CNN interview..Lame... |

![]() reub wrote:Wow, straight from the Trump talking points. At least you're up front. Though I always wondered how people think Trump is going to create jobs. His only real success in business has been real estate (family business, daddy's help and daddy's money). Not sure how that translates into having the wisdom that creates jobs nationally. Especially when most of his non-real estate ventures have pretty much been disasters.TheGame wrote:reub wrote:TheGame wrote:reub wrote:Where's Hillary? Now we know.

THat is a nice attempt at steering away from what we are talking about btw. He has been scrutinized as well for how he edits his videos. I'll assume you're also aware of this. I get that among the more fervored conspiratists (to invent two words) Fox news is in on the fix too, but it does say something when Fox is distancing themselves from this. And I have not excused it under any terms. As to the other thing, it establishes an attempt to influence whether a bribe was offered or not or accepted or not. Again, correct me if i'm mistaken, but doesn't the FBI disagree with you about it's illegality. I'm really asking. As to her involvement, are we really to believe that she and Kennedy did not discuss this at all esp since it had to with Benghazi where the State Dept was under fire and they were both brought into question? Apparently you do. I don't. I don't "believe" anything. That's the difference here. I am not making intuitive leaps of "belief" based on my internal bias. I am regarding the story for what it is. Clinton's involvement or lack thereof is purely a matter of speculation. That facts are she wasn't in the state department for 2 years when this occurred. What you want to do with that fact is matter of your choosing, and I don't think even you'd deny what your preconditioned leaning is. If facts or even evidence emerges she was directly involved in some way, that will be worth due consideration. That said, I'll gladly acknowledge my own bias. The efforts to paint Hillary Clinton as a Bond villain - that this ex-Senator/SoS somehow sits at the head of a global star chamber of international bankers (and who apparently has only amassed her power SINCE losing to the African-American first term Senator named Barack Hussain Obama in the 2008 primary) and who controls the media including Fox News with an iron fist just discredits those who try to push that agenda, as it should for anyone with even limited intelligence. |

It is why Jeb Bush (and many like him) will only answer questions about the election by saying he won't vote for either. But he is a citizen, and he knows it'll be one or the other. Who he votes for is a separate issue as to who he'd rather be his president. I'm just using this as an example. People want to appear savvy so they repeat "lesser of two evils" as a mantra. It is a binary decision. One will be President for at least 4 years. I have no qualms unequivocally saying Hillary Clinton should be that person. |

Your are just repeating talking points. How is lowering taxes on the rich going to help the country when we have a budget deficit and mounting debt? Also, why do you trust Trump to be president when he has shown that he is totally reactionary and unwilling to follow the advice? Just look at his campaign and how much self-inflicted damage he has done. If the guy is that much out of control as a candidate how much more out of control do you think he is going to be as president. But this is the person you want in control of the most powerful military on the planet. Someone who can be tricked into a fight through a simple insult. Russia and China must be licking their lips at a Trump presidency. Why do you think Russia is having Wikileaks distribute info on Clinton. Trust the Process

![]() This phenomena of Trump saying these perfectly clearly about the legitimacy of the election at this rallies and Twitter and his campaign surrogates saying the exact opposite is one of the weirdest parts of this election.
Pence, Conway, now Ivanka are saying he will accept the outcome, but as late as last night be was saying the opposite in no uncertain terms. |

Not weird...but worrisome, and potentially dangerous. He is setting the country up for another period of obstructionism if the Republicans in Congress don't get their act together. More dangerous is his BS about voter fraud, the racist coding he is always using. Putting Palin on a GOP ticket opened the door a crack...and Trump's nomination finished the process. GOP is F'd up, and Trump is doing his best to keep it f'd up for the next 10 years. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Seriously?! Hillary had an e-mail server that might have in theory but not in reality actually harmed human lives. Collin Powell lying or misleading about WMD lead to a war that cost thousands of lives. And yet Powell has an 85% approval rating? It's not really Hillary's actions that people disapprove of. That's just an excuse. People overlook much worse behavior from other political figures. She just doesn't have the same superficial charm that more popular politicians have. (And in all fairness, it is hard for a woman to come across as charming and still be taken seriously.) |
