So does Assange actually have anything on Hillary or is this like the last 500 times he's been a grandstanding idiot who is jealous of Greenwald breaking the Snowden stuff?

If he has it, why isn't he releasing it?

I touristed my way through all of the Tamir Rice protests, it seemed like almost everyone, and especially everyone doing destructive or violent things was from out of town and had some university affiliation, often from out of state.

That's why I am almost certain he has nothing of value. I'm sure his response would be that he and his underlings are "vetting" it or something, but he's pulled this poo poo before.

Guccifer claimed that he had indeed hacked HRC's private server and "all the emails were laid out before me like open flowers". Fox News got a mega boner over it and ran it as their top line story and then someone thought "Wait, if he did that, why did the guy who stole terabytes worth of secret government documents leave what would be the Holy Grail of all of them alone" and then they buried it.

It's because they say that they get a ton of attention. He may have some HRC emails but if they were worth a poo poo or not already disclosed, he would've put them out in the primary to help Bernie vs her.

I'll bite on this, I'm in favor, I don't really understand why people's reaction to the due process problems is "throw it out" instead of "fix the due process problems".

I'm much more in favor of the FBI being able to put a stop order on your gun purchases then your travel, the details need to be worked out but I seems kind of intuitive to me that if the FBI sees you hanging out in ISIS chat rooms there should be a mechanism that lets them stop you from going down to walmart and buying a dozen AR15s


(yes I know Walmart doesn't sell them anymore)

Agreed, I think there's a reasonable difference between freedom of association and freedom to buy whatever you want.

If he wanted attention the big question is, why did he not save and release anything? Why not provide proof? I'd say he's probably lying or just saved those emails where Hillary is asking Chelsea about DVRs or equivalent poo poo. I just get really tired of the million different conspiracies this election.

The no-fly list is dumb and bad but beating your chest like it's the end of freedom in America now that politicians you don't like are using it, when it's been around for over a decade and the Bush administration was putting journalists and peace activists on it for criticizing the war is cringeworthy.

We shouldn't be doing this but if liberty died it was when we were black-bagging and torturing people.

lmao chalk up another fun one that I forgot about over the years.

I really need to get around to compiling a huge link-bomb like that infamous Ron Paul post to give to political newbies who don't understand how horrendous the Bush admin was.

Nominate JEB! He can fix it!

JEB gets the nomination, says "Donald Trump, you're fired" on CNN and at least loses the election with some dignity, thereby saving the party. Gets major points for taking one for the team, somewhat redeems the Bush name and his own reputation, plus securing the way for the younger generation of Bushes to campaign. It's really the only viable course, and Daddy Bush would approve wholeheartedly at this point, I'm sure.

Or as JEB would say, it's a no-brainer!

In Response To Drug Tests For The Poor, Lawmaker Wants To Drug Test Rich Who Get Tax Benefits

quote:

Her “Top 1% Accountability Act” would require anyone claiming itemized tax deductions of over $150,000 in a given year to submit a clean drug test.
...
Moore has been frustrated to witness attempts to tie those who avail themselves of the safety net to drug use. “Republicans continue to criminalize poverty and to put forward the narrative, the false narrative in fact, that people who are poor and reliant upon the social safety net are drug users,” she said.
...
Moore is not the only lawmaker in Congress who has raised questions about unequal treatment between the poor who make use of government programs and everyone else who needs them. In February, Rep. Rosa DeLauro asked why only recipients of food stamps were being considered for drug testing but not the farmers who also make use of programs run by the Agriculture Department.

I think your missing the bigger picture. Apparently all the rest of the world other then the US and the UK had zero homicides before 2003.

It was thought all the mindless death had been contained to those two countries, but in that year Two and a Half Men was released and with it the spread of global murder.

This seems like a false correlation. Clearly the uptick in 2003 relates to US involvement in Iraq.

They're going to lose the election no matter what at this point, their best path now is to stick with Trump so they can dismiss him and his base from the moral high ground when he loses. So in the future they can pre-ratfuck if this ever happens again by pointing to the historic disaster of 2016. If they ratfuck Trump they still lose this election but also strengthen his base and make this problem that's tearing the party apart even worse.
