US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

Like limerick scum to me

Irish elections expect Adrian Kavanagh has summarised thusly

Which is unsurprising, given the mainstream media are in bed with the Clinton campaign, as has been made abundantly clear by WikiLeaks. CNN have lost all credibility as an impartial news outlet, after hiring Donna Brazile, the chair of the DNC, who then leaked questions to the Clinton campaign before a CNN hosted debate.

I rarely quote Fox News, which is why I added the “consider the source” warning. You should do the same when you (frequently) post von.com articles, who are just as biased as Fox on the left.

An elite poster does not back down.

The conflict going on is not within the FBI, it’s between the FBI and the Justice Dept. It is not that hard to connect the dots and see what’s going on.

Comey’s job was to investigate the claims that Clinton used a private server to handle classified information, a federal offense, and the hand over his findings to the Justice Dept to decide whether to indict or not. The day before Clinton was to testify to the FBI, AG Loretta Lynch met with Bill Clinton in her private jet in Vegas. When this became public, Lynch effectively recused herself from the investigation, stating she would accept Comey’s recommendation.

That’s the source of the conflict. Lynch pressured Comey into an impossible position. It isn’t the FBI’s job to determine whether an indictment should be handed down or not. Lynch should have delegated the decision to her deputy AG, Sally Yates.

The most partisan dept in Washington isn’t the FBI, it’s the justice department.

The Heritage Foundation now backing the GOP’s move to prevent any Democratic appointments to the Supreme Court, at any time. It’s times like this that GOP’s constitutional piety is revealed for the sham that it is.

The outcome is inevitable. Should Clinton win the Democrats will not accept this. And the only response there can be is another step in the direction of presidential autocracy. In a very real sense this is the Republic unravelling. When government is made impossible dictatorship is, in the end, welcomed.

It’s unsurprising given that the story is bullshit, even Breitbart had to take it down. The “investigation” is based on a book written by a Breitbart journalist.

The “sources” Fox had for it are likely Giuliani himself and Jim Kallstrom, the former head of the New York FBI official, arch-Trump supporter and Fox pundit, whose charity has been the beneficiary of large donations from Trump and has Rush Limbaugh on its board.

The assertion that “the mainstream media are in bed with Clinton campaign” is a fact-free one.

This link contains actual facts.

Please note that Colin Powell isn’t defined by the private emails he used as secretary of state. (And then deleted.) Jeb Bush isn’t defined by the private email he used as governor of Florida. President George W. Bush’s administration wasn’t defined by the fact that nearly two dozen White House aides used private email accounts controlled by the Republican National Committee. And Mitt Romney wasn’t defined by the fact that his staff wiped away all the emails from the Republican’s years as Massachusetts governor.

It’s only Clinton who gets defined by emails. Because the press, reading off the GOP song sheet, says so. And because the press, alongside the GOP, has been trying to criminalize the Clintons for 20-plus years.

The Department of Justice have not interfered in a politically partisan way.

A group within the FBI is clearly attempting to affect the result of a Presidential election. They’re leaking like a sieve, feeding information to the likes of Giuliani and on to Fox News.

This is truly incredible, it’s Banana Republic stuff.

Trump laughably makes Watergate comparisons in relation to the Clinton e-mails. This real Watergate-type stuff and it’s being done by his supporters.

His supporters are leaking details of illegal goings on by the government?

Anyone who thinks AG Loretta Lynch is not politically partisan has their head in the sand. If she is so impartial, what the fuck was she doing meeting (clandestinely) with Bill Clinton the day before Hillary gave her testimony to the FBI?

Since Comey sent his letter to congress a week ago, the liberal media have been doing everything they can to discredit the FBI. They are doing exactly what Fox are doing, quoting unnamed sources. Time will tell whose sources are accurate.

Things must have been completely out of control in this instance if even CNN were forced to cut ties with this person.

I hope Bernie is being well compensated for this.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PX9reO3QnUA you want to be thick to vote trump

Bernie was badly fucked over alright, I’ve no doubt he’s wrangled a plum job in Hillary’s cabinet if she’s elected.She’ll have fuck all support if Bernie pulls the plug on her as well.

Bernie isn’t even a Democrat ffs. He was a handy pawn to help with her campaign and try and connect with the millennium voters. If she wins he will be cast aside.

Why is there early voting in some places?

See on twitter there are reports of record Hispanic voter turnout in Florida which can’t be good news for Trump

Why not? It’s convenient for some people, us postal voters aside

It’s a State driven country

Was just curious really

Why do some states do it and not others?
