So, we've already got repubs trying to pass a bunch of terrible things. Trump threatening everyone via twitter to do what he wants before he's actually president. Repubs now putting in a giant budget of waste to make the debt soar in the nuke obamacare bill so it'll get passed. Great.

All I've got is the smidge of enjoyment of corporations having to defend themselves by a tweet, about something they couldn't explain why without a giant wall of text.

The new official 25 page report heremostly goes into a rant about russia's TV station that nobody in the US watches, and concluded putin preferred trump, which gee, would he prefer the guy who wants to be his BFF and remove sanctions or the lady who wouldn't mind starting a war? Real tough one there.

NSA isn't as confident as the other groups, which is weird, they should know the literal names shouldn't they? I mean if I'm gonna pick out of the three on this issue...

Nobody likes tattletales, no matter how terrible the thing they're telling you. Snowden will always be a traitor for many. Think % it's the same atm with pardon/hang. Figure hang big fav in the lol olds crowd.

Also, hard to square 'Snowden good, Russia bad' if you consider where Edward's been the last 3 1/2 years...

Well if we run the election again hil proly wins. She barely lost. All kinds of ways a few extra votes end up her way. Same with bern.

Another reason that we should have runoffs when lead vote getter receives <50% popular vote.

Being met with "Intelligence Agencies are just big fat phonies" -- it's a weird reality we live in.

I'm not sure probability works this way, or at least, this is based on a ton of assumptions. If we ran it again, but kept what the same? Or if we just ran it again literally this coming Tuesday?

But I think I get your point and I agree. I think in the distribution of possible outcomes, both Clinton and Bernie had a ton of wins, Clinton definitely had more big wins.

we have enough problems around the world without yet another one. When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now.....

I would say it's a lot more of the right than "far right", but otherwise I agree with you. Which is not something I thought I would ever say.

Morality is for losers, we don't need to examine the circumstances, all that's important is that a RULE WAS BROKEN and therefore someone needs to PAY.

National Security Advisor Communications something appointee plagiarized a lot of her book

Response by transition team:

Quote:
"Monica’s exceptional insight and thoughtful work on how to turn this country around is exactly why she will be serving in the Administration," a statement from a transition spokesperson said. "HarperCollins—one of the largest and most respected publishers in the world—published her book which has become a national best-seller. Any attempt to discredit Monica is nothing more than a politically motivated attack that seeks to distract from the real issues facing this country."
I'll admit to no longer having any idea what the real issues facing our country are. Libtards e-mails and vanity fair? The cyber? Crooked media? Celebrity Apprentice?
