Litvinenko had accused Putin of being a pedophile and supposedly had evidence of some sort (a video). Then four months later he was dead of radiation poisoning. So they might get to leave the party, but not before playing some special games with Vlad.

I think he should be the only practitioner for Trump, Pence, and the entire cabinet.

Given that the State Department was definitely hacked, her emails were probably safer on the private server.

The whole story of the DNC favoring Hillary over Bernie was so misreported. Yeah there were a few emails that showed some staffers had some bias but nothing they did affected voting and all of those emails were dated after it was already mathematically impossible for Bernie to win. Yet that fact is never mentioned in…

The email “scandal” was so so frustrating because so few people actually understand how email works or how classification works. No one seems to point out the fact that the State.gov email system is UNCLASSIFIED. You don’t send any classified material over the public Internet (that’s was SIPRnet is for). What reason…

I think that has more to do with the general rise in the strength of the USD.

It is because the Dems can filibuster. The rule change is called the Nuclear Option. The Democrats already changed the rule when they had a majority so that most executive nominations and federal judges could be confirmed by simple majority, but SC nominees and legislation still require 60 votes to overcome a…

Nominations to the Supreme Court still require 60 votes. However, the Republicans can change that rule with a simple majority vote.

Might have something to do with Iowa being about 92% white compared to about 68% for Virginia and North Carolina...

I’m not saying it will stop them just pointing out how ridiculous it was 🙃

In the GvB decision, the court knew it was so political that they specifically said that it should not be used as a precedent in future decisions.

She’s only short her goal now because she’s increased it every time it’s been met.

Anyone ever see that movie, King Ralph, where the entire Royal Family gets electrocuted in a photo shoot and they trace the lineage to an American character played by John Goodman who becomes King?

I love how Virginia does it now. You fill out a simple scan tron and stick it in the machine. It’s almost dummy proof except you have to fill in the circle completely. Even if you are visually impaired, you can do it on a computer that blows up the size so you can see it then it still prints out the filled in scantron…

It’s worse that they didn’t even simply release documents, but actively pushed a false narrative and conspiracy theories by based on info in the emails taken out of context.

I think Skeletor would be great as the new Speaker of the House.

Legally, there is nothing saying that Putin can’t be appointed Secretary of Defense. I mean he might have a challenge getting Senate confirmation, but a few more hacked emails for leverage and who knows....

And doh, I just realized how bad my wording was in my first post about this. I hadn’t meant to imply Clinton did so without cause.

I think that’s a fair assessment and a Director fired without reasonable cause would likely challenge it. I personally don’t expect Clinton will try to force Comey to step down if she wins, but you never know.

On my phone so hard to quote well but I saw it in an article...
