after a cursory examination of some third party candidates I'm starting to think maybe democracy isn't such a good fit for the US after all

Don't worry. We're getting rid of it.

Cool. We got our Wikileaks thread back. Complete with Clintonites coming in to set the record straight! The rogue's gallery of familiar characters will soon stop lurking and come in swinging with both hands!

Also, Hillary Clinton is a oval office and should be in prison.

also, when prosecuting a person like hillary that has a treasure trove of US secrets and other secrets regarding multitudes of others in public office things can get very messy in a high profile trial if she decides to start going all "scorched earth"
Do you really think this is likely? One person trying to strongarm powerful people in DC and other sectors?

That aside, we *know* she has a treasure trove of secrets, chiefly because she's not especially good at keeping them.

yeah, this has happened in the past where someone got squeezed and starting "anonymously" leaking personal dirt on others people involved or past events

all it takes is public wifi connection to start smearing poo poo all over the internet and humans do these things when backed into a corner. i wouldn't put hillary above it and i wouldn't put donald above it either
But someone this far ensconced in the halls of power? I was born in the mid 80's so the only thing comparable to that in my life (iirc) was the Iran-Contra affair. Before that, the closest thing that comes to my mind was when Nixon tried to play his own people for patsies e.g. John Dean.

But the Clintons are so plugged in to the political/economic/business sectors that if she started to squeal, I can't imagine any of her former confederates from a lifetime of shady deals being comfortable. And once they got to tugging on their collars, it's seems more likely the political and business world would just quietly drum her out of the public arena for life. She'd be persona non grata at everything but funerals.

I'm not sure that "Chelsea Clinton is a director of a company" is a particularly relevant rebuttal to "Donald Trump is a violent rapist"
It's the Daily Beast.
Which posted the article in question.
You know this.

Whether he raped a woman fool enough to marry him ~20 years ago isn't really that interesting anyway. And from her revision, either a) it didn't happen at all or b) she took a big bag of hush money. Or, I guess, c) it happened but she's been waiting for the right time to hit him where it hurts for the highest dollar value.

The point is, gently caress the stupid daily beast and its lovely yellow journalism. That goes for pretty much everybody else in the (mostly Clinton-sponsored) msm.

e: And for amusement's sake - please argue that last point. It'll get a chuckle.

The article just reported that the facts from the book exist. Which part do you think isn't true?

She wrote a book and said things which she later revised. There is no way to know what really happened. If you're saying Trump is a rapist, then say it. Personally, I think it's strange how plenty of Clinton supporters can shoot from the hip and call Trump supporters any name in the book and then feign sympathy for a lady greedy enough to marry the vile man.

She didn't write any book. You are extremely simple, so I'll spell it out for you: Ivana Trump, in her divorce proceedings with Donald Trump, submitted in a deposition a description of an event that happened between them. The event was Donald Trump violently raping her. A reporter, Harry Hurt III, wrote about this in his book, Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump. The divorce ended up being granted: "Cruel and inhuman treatment by Mr. Trump was cited as the grounds for the uncontested divorce." from http://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/12/nyregion/trumps-get-divorce-next-who-gets-what.html

When the book was written, Trump's lawyers got Ivana to write a statement that attempts to soften what was written in the deposition, which confirmed that it was accurate but that she didn't want it to be considered rape in the "criminal sense."

Considering all these factors, the evidence says that Trump is indeed a violent rapist. The fact that you keep blaming her for it is pretty disgusting.
You're either dumb or playing dumb.

Ah, projection; the Trump strategy. I see you identify closely with your chosen candidate.

"RAPE RAPE RAPE" "Hey guy, you don't have any proof" "WAY TO ENDORSE RAPE!"

And what makes you think he's my chosen candidate? You're calling me simple?

But way to sling around accusations when they fit your cause. How many rape victims do you know? Because if the answer is "one or more" you would know telling people they're rape apologists is pretty goddamn low. You want disgusting, look in a mirror.

By the way, I noticed you were right about the book thing. It *was* just her deposition. I read that article over the summer (not sure if Chelsea was the director of DB then :confused:) and remember thinking "wouldn't be surprised." Maaan, politics is confusing when you get all your info from morons on the internet!
