The Trump administration will be corporatist in a way that puts the Bush administration to shame. Trump will see to it that corporations and the rich will raid the Treasury, rape the environment, sell off public assets like land and infrastructure to private, for-profit interests, demolish the welfare state, and leave…

I think Chelsea and her attorneys overstate how much she has been in solitary confinement. She attempted suicide in July. Evidently she was not placed in solitary then. In October, she was sentenced to 14 days solitary, 7 days suspended for that suicide attempt. *The same night* she was taken to solitary, she tried to…

She sounds very mentally ill. Her attorneys complain about solitary confinement and other normal prison things which does her a disservice. They should be complaining about inadequate medical treatment for someone who is severely mentally ill.

But it wasn’t “whistleblowing” as US newspapers had already reported on the event. It wasn’t secret, nothing was covered up, the event was fully investigated, and the soldiers involved were cleared of wrongdoing.

When you use a web client like Outlook, it downloads your emails locally on your computer.

There is no prohibition in the federal government about checking government email on a non-government computer. It’s a matter of convenience so that people can check their email when they are out of the office. I don’t know what kind of organization you work for, but every private sector job I’ve had allows the same…

No. The sample size is quite large, actually. There are 4 million people with clearances, and those people fuck up quite often mixing classified info on unclassified systems (called spillage) because of being human and all. That’s how he can say that no one would be prosecuted for this because it’s the kind of shit…

She could have nipped this all in the bud if she wanted to, and released those emails, but didn’t.

Not the best look, but it ain’t Watergate either. She didn’t give Clinton questions in a head-to-head matchup with Bernie Sanders— that really would have been unfair and disadvantaged Sanders. This was not that. If CNN can pay Trump employee Lewandowski as an “analyst,” if CNN can run full Trump speeches, including…

So, just a few years ago when I was about 38 or so, I went on a business trip to Boston. I knew no one there and had no plans, so on a Friday night a couple days before I was scheduled to leave, I made my way down to the hotel bar. I LOOKED FABULOUS for some reason— my hair was ON POINT and my baby tee set my boobs…

Interesting how they never show this guy’s comments in context. We have no idea what he’s talking about or what the conversation is about. He doesn’t say, “We find a list of registered dead people and bus people in from another state to vote as those dead people.” He just says, “We bus people in to deal with you…

This is stupid. The court has already said the pipeline can move forward. What is Clinton supposed to do? Take a stand against the court? Ask protesters to violate the law because they don’t like the ruling?

How fair is that though? They aren’t in a position to judge whether the process followed the law and met applicable standards; the Army Corps of Engineers is doing that now and a court has already said that the pipeline can move forward. Why would the Clinton campaign issue any opinion that challenges the rule of law…

Two of my favorite Vines:

this isn’t an insanity defense: it’s an evaluation of his ability to understand the charges and not hinder his defense when the case goes to trial.

I don’t doubt his mental illness or inability to competently stand trial, but this defense is seldom allowed for black or Muslim defendants who engage in terroristic behavior. The Long Island Railroad shooter and the Fort Hood shooter, for example, were obviously mentally impaired, but they weren’t allowed an insanity…

Wikileaks does not have access to nor has “dumped” Hillary Clinton’s emails. These are hacks of John Podesta, her campaign manager.

What a nice brother Ken Davidoff has. What the fuck?

It’s all they have at this point.

No doubt.
