...Fuck Julian Assange in meathead fucking face.

I don't doubt that he has something that will be perceived as impact to drop into the mix next month, but I completely doubt that has much weight.

He's basically said he has no love for Hillary (not that he should) and has shown contempt for the U.S. in general. The release of classified information during times of conflict is of no benefit to any soldiers or agents working for our government. It puts them all at risk for no good reason...and this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly support the reasons our troops have been sent into harms way or the missions being executed by FBI and CIA type agencies.

This gobshite is just trying to wield whatever influence he feels he has to fuck with our country. He's pathetic, malicious, and pretty much worthless. I'm not a gung-ho American that thinks we d no wrong and our job is to be the guidepost for the rest of the planet, but this chode is certainly a guidepost for criminal douchebaggery.

So fuck him and any "bombs" he wants to drop. If he's all about attacking Hillary then he's complicit in Trump's ascension. Even if he's actually got a bomb that's about destroying Trump, why play around. Waiting until the last minute so the truth can't be discerned before the election is a dick move, but that's him all over.

Huh, first time I've ever read someone upset at a person (group) exposing mass corruption. Especially when it comes to the DNC, the Clintons, and the Clinton Foundation. That is of course, unless that person is culpable (not saying you are).

Maybe it's an age gap thing?

Classified information, information about current operations going on with our military and domestic/international agencies...not public information. The Republicans are as corrupt as they come, they outed an active CIA field operative and still won't own up to it. They think we're all gullible and they're more right than I'm comfortable with.

Snowden a little less so with regards to the NSA leak. I thought that was ridiculous...what did everyone think the Patriot Act was essentially de-regulating. The U.S. like all of the most developed nations has been spying on "friends" and enemies since just about forever. And there's the Patriot Act, Nixon's dream come true, thank you Dubya! (Or should we say Cheney?). Bullshit move on Snowden's part, but why was anyone shocked, be it him or any American? Stupidity is the only reason I can imagine.

I will never deny the possibility of corruption with ANY politician, but the witch hunt on the Clintons has been pathetic from day one. And let's not get into corruption when the Republicans offer us Trump. He is as corrupt and crooked a businessman as they come. Add to that that he has NO political knowledge or savvy and anyone that supports him, even as an alternative to being "gullible" enough to buy into the idea that Hillary is a criminal simply because they want her to be or don't like her or don't like women or don't like liberals or whatever bullshit they need to avoid admitting they're scared little babies that literally fear Latinos and Muslims (as well as any non-white, non-Christian, non-English-speaking, non-natural born citizen of the U.S.A.), is so woefully ignorant that it makes me fear for this nation in a way I never thought possible. But the most gullible people I know are the folks that bought into Limbaugh's notion of Hillary as a "fem-Nazi" because she wanted to be active as first lady and not just redecorate rooms in the White House or pick out china. The conservative '80s "yuppie" types were and remained threatened by women and vilified her in 1992 and never let it go. Such sad little men they are. She's not my ideal candidate, but none of my issues are even tangentially related to her gender. Trump supporters, men and women, keep talking harping on her lack of penis.

I'm also not saying this is you.

As to the age gap, I can't speak to that because I don't know how old you are or how old you think I am. I think it's more of philosophical difference. For instance the Tea Party folks and Birther folks are mostly racists that were afraid to call the President the word that first pops into their head when they see him or any other person of African descent. The idea of "taking our country back" after having had Dubya for eight years...pathetic. The system allows change, so people voted another way because the "other" side was unhappy for those eight years. So, just fucking vote and do it all the time, especially locally where is actually and specifically matters to the general "you".

Okay, this is too much, but the minds starts thinking and sometime the fingers start typing. Good day to y'all.
 
She also asked the FBI to explain why they didn't go after the banksters in 2008. God bless Liz Waren.

Yeah, she's my ideal candidate. Warren stepped aside for Hillary and unless Hillary loses, she won't likely run. Should Hillary win this year, Warren wouldn't really be able to run until 2024 at which point she'll be 75...I don't think we'll be swearing in anyone that old (six years older than Reagan was) anytime soon.
 
The Clinton Foundation, btw, is a rock-solid A rating with both Charity Watch and Charity Navigator. It does tremendous amounts of good all over the world. To suggest it is "corrupt", because you heard it on AM radio or read a slampiece on some alt-right website, is pitiful.

I love how Fox News created this notion that eating their shit is acceptable and shows that you can think for yourself, but listening to, considering, or supporting the "opposition" shows that you're just a sheep. So many buy the alt-right and all right (read: conservative) without actually educating themselves about the other side. Shutting down because someone doesn't share all of your beliefs (and I'm not talking religion, but that's clearly a part of it), is so myopic. It does these voters and our electoral system a grave injustice. I'm well aware of the conservative agenda and it doesn't align itself with what I view as important to the greater good...which is my greater concern.
 
maybe if the both go far enough, they will meet and then they can just combine into one overall cluster fuck and we can move on to create something that actually works.

"I am, as far as I can tell, more or less a centrist, equally repelled by either extreme of the political spectrum. Indeed, I believe that the spectrum forms a full circle, with right and left merging -- as they meet at their respective extremes -- into luminous batshit evil."

Ohio Trump campaign chair Kathy Miller says there was 'no racism' before Obama
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/22/trump-ohio-campaign-chair-no-racism-before-obama

She already resigned over it...

I was going to try to make some sort of analogy about it being like sending an inferior player who is a thug into the basketball game to take out the other team's star, and not caring about the ejection. But not sure how Trump would benefit from this act, other than if it is cynically supposed to incite more hate and divisiveness that someone thinks will benefit him.

Ohio Trump campaign chair Kathy Miller says there was 'no racism' before Obama

I love this quote:
“You’ve had the same schools everybody else went to. You had benefits to go to college that white kids didn’t have. You had all the advantages and didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not our fault, certainly.”

It sounds like Miller has never been outside of rural Ohio. Someone should take her on a tour of the schools in the poor parts of Cleveland.
 
There was an article in the local paper Thursday about how Trump promised Gary IN a sweet deal on docking casino boat there, and hiring a lot of local minorities, only never to deliver. He took all he could get and ran.
