US Gen. Election Thread VI: You've Got E-Mail

[Thermodolia]

Rick Wilson still insists the two big leaks he has talked about for a month haven't come out, and that the timing isn't up to him.

Who is he? And what leaks is he talking about?

[Ashmoria]

no I don't. I think they need to work with the other side to do the business of the country.

they refuse to.

how many hearings have they had on the presidents supreme court nominee?

Umm literally hundreds of laws have been passed under Obama. They have worked with the other side. I agree they should hold a hearing on the supreme court nominee and a up or down vote, but you are moving the goal posts. That has not be the cause of our sluggish economy.

no the lack of stimulus and investment in infrastructure has held back the economy

it has recovered anyway but the republicans caused pain for millions of families because they wanted to make Obama a one term president.

The global economy being shit didn't help. Thanks austerity in Europe!

He's a GOP strategist. He's claimed for the past month or so that there are two big leaks to come out regarding Trump, one even worse than "grab them by the pussy".

no kidding! Europe still lags behind because of stupid austerity policies.

What could be worse than that?

[Collatis]

For the poll question, I am not eligible to vote just yet (a few months off), but I would vote for Hillary Clinton if I could.

Now that's the question, isn't it?

[Ashmoria]

What could be worse than that?

raping a 13 year old but that is already out there.

a tape of him using the N-word. the worst we have now is calling an apprentice contestant "uncle tom" over and over again

records of his financial ties to Russia, maybe?

[Hittanryan]

I won't comment on what did or didn't fix the economy, but don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining. The 113th and the 114th Congresses were two of the least productive in US history. The Republicans voted as a bloc against the ACA, shut down the government over raising the debt ceiling, couldn't pass a budget to save their lives, fought tooth and nail against the Iran deal, refused to invest in repairing our deteriorating infrastructure, refused to pass gun control measures which a majority of gun owners (and Americans in general) support, made countless futile votes to repeal the ACA, and now they're talking about leaving Supreme Court vacant for four years if Clinton gets elected.

Congressional Republicans are obstructionist, and they have been since Obama took office in 2008. The fact that these do-nothing Republicans have no accomplishments of their own and tried to distract their base with conspiracy theories likely played a part in Trump's nomination.

There's already a story floating around about Trump Tower having a covert connection to a server at Alfa bank in Russia. No traction in the media of course.

[Salandriagado]

Imagine this:
McMullin wins Utah
Neither Trump nor Clinton gets 270 votes.
It goes to the House
The House is divided
They go for the vanilla option: McMullin

In other things that are theoretically possible but aren't going to happen: your first three steps happen, but the house chooses some eight year old French girl as its speaker, then both the house and senate decline to nominate anybody, making that eight year old French girl acting President of the United States.

[Noahs Second Country]

As awesome as that would be, it is not going to happen.

True...

its too hard to understand.

theres some mafia stuff but I don't know if that would be a bombshell at this point.

Trump still gets credit for his honesty. Can you fucking believe that?

This is some Orwellian shit. "Liars tell the truth."

[Vladivostokava]

Hillary is a traitor to the US people. She has got many good soldiers killed and many more will follow if she take power. She needs to be in jail. No questions.

[Khadgar]

This is some Orwellian shit. "Liars tell the truth."

I'm absolutely disgusted with the media's refusal to call Donald on his shit. I'm disgusted they treat emails as worse than sexual assault. Democracy only works if the electorate has good information and they're not keeping up their end of the deal.

yeah from those people who are tired of pretending not to be hateful.

sexual assault is horrible, absolutly horrible and he should be barred. I agree. But the emails could possibly put many peoples lives at risk. The lives of US soldiers and gov agents are far more important than some idiots locker-room mouth.

I don't think the last would be worse. Probably even better than "grab them by the pussy", actually.

The first is already out there, so it's probably not related to rape of children.

[Galloism]

Hillary is a traitor to the US people. She has got many good soldiers killed and many more will follow if she take power. She needs to be in jail. No questions.

If you have evidence of that you should present it. Congress would probably open a 9th Benghazi investigation if it's good. Or not good.

Or for pretty much any reason really.

So a dozen or so actual crimes is less important than a hypothetical?

Gods what a fucking world we live in.

[Hittanryan]

Yeah, fuck due process.

I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. If you have evidence that Hillary has committed any crimes, you'd better let the FBI know right away. We'd be interested to hear it as well.

the only thing left is either gay stuff or murder.
