You know who's really bought and sold by Russia? That's right!

Now to a rational person who took Clinton Cash at face value, this should totally discredit it since they clearly threw together a whole lot of coincidences to rewrite a narrative in less than a week, right?

The best way I've found is to tell them that it's W Bush vs Gore 2.0, and voting for Nader was how we ended up with Bush.

This usually doesn't work because these are the same people that still refuse to accept that Nader was one of the major factors in causing Gore to lose Florida.

Honestly, I'm more insulted that Donald Trump doesn't even have good taste in lovely chicken places. I loooove lovely fast food chicken, but even for me KFC is garbage. Don't know why he didn't go for the easy "Mah Values! :qq:" pick and get Chik-fil-a.

Lee's. $4 for 1000 calories of chicken and mashed potatoes, its unbeatable.

So, threads like this have been becoming more common on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/Documentaries/comments/4vsqmr?sort=confidence

The link is a "globalist" piece of work, but the comments are pretty much a shitfest over whether Wikileaks is biased, with the "Wikileaks is poo poo" side throwing up decent sources and being ignored.

Has this kind of stuff actually been becoming more common, or what?

The problem is most anti-free trade documentaries are basically Riefenstahl films that had "Jews" Citrl-H'd to "Globalists", and people are sick of dealing with it. Anti-Semitism is on the rise on the right.

Well any kind of restructuring can lead to hiccups in functioning, so that this is happening in the middle of an important election makes me concerned how it will affect the ability of the DNC to function.

Also Amy Dacey by most accounts was well regarded, and also seems she was kept out of the loop from some of the things DWS was doing, so seems like she doesn't deserve what's happening to her.

OTOH, I trust the new chair to take steps to strengthen the DNC so some new fresh blood might be a good thing.

And if it makes the Sanders supporters feel better than guess it's worth ti.

None of them really deserved this and this is all just throwing red meat to the BernieBros who needed at least one powerful woman taken down a peg.

If not for asbestos, what made the 9/11 wreckage so horribly unhealthy? Just all the atomized fiberglass insulation and stuff?

e: googled it. Looks like fiberglass, trace amounts of asbestos, and carcinogenic hydrocarbons consistent with the exhaust of a slowly smoldering fire.

So I keep hearing about these Iranian "hostages" - were they innocent and we traded known spies for them, or were they probably guilty as poo poo and rightfully arrested?

one was a journalist who probably wasn't up to anything, one was a former marine who did intel and was in iran visiting relatives for ramadan, one was a pastor trying to build an orphanage, one was a student who probably wandered across the border stupidly, and there was another guy who is probably a chronic liar and general weirdo

iran is still holding a guy who probably has CIA connections

I thought there was some deal with that Pastor that was fishy - like trying to form a religious resistance movement or something.

This may partly explain why that Latino poll in Florida only showed around 17% of hispanics supporting Trump, while in that other general poll of Florida he was getting around 30%.

Cuban ex-pats are such awful people that it makes Castro look better by comparison.

Hey guys if you're wondering what next week's dumb smear against Clinton will be, noted guy-who-committed-treason Tom Cotton started to run it out today - http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/cotton-clinton-discussed-executed-iranian-scientist-on-email/article/2598807


TL;DR Clinton mentioned a guy got executed postmortem - therefore she got him executed.

What exactly did he do?

He said he wanted to keep your tax dollars from going to black people. Verbatim.

He later clarified that he actually said "blagh people", as in wasteful people. Anyway he somehow got a pass.
