Random Political comments...

If you're referring to the post where I poked all those holes in the "Hillary steals election" conspiracy horseshit, then yes. Yes it does belong. If you don't like to read what I post, feel free to hide me. You'll never have to see what I write.

But as with the emails if you have tangible, reliable proof that Hillary Clinton has been rigging the entire 2016 Presidential election from day one then I'm not the only one who'd love to see it.

Sounds like you've found the smoking gun you were looking for. Out of an abundance of caution I'd still tell your elected officials, though.

Good luck with your Congressmen!

 

Lol

And this post goes predictably unchallenged.

 

I think I can be of assistance:

1. Tax cuts
2. Tax breaks
3. Tax decreases
4. Lowering taxes
5. FREEDOM

 

I would urge you to do a little more research about that donation, on the surface it has the appearance of something shady going on but, it was not from Hillary and...

"Trump said, "The man who was in charge of the investigation of Hillary Clinton accepted essentially from Hillary Clinton $675,000 that went to his wife."

Trump is correct that hefty donations were given from a Clinton ally to a candidate whose husband was an FBI official.

But the timeline doesn’t add up, nor do Trump’s allegations stand up to independent scrutiny.

At the time of the contribution, the candidate's husband was not directly involved in the FBI probe of Clinton's email server, according to the FBI. The bureau says that by the time he had some oversight role in the Clinton investigation, the election involving his wife had been over for three months.

Meanwhile, the decision not charge Clinton was a recommendation made by the director of the FBI.

Trump's statement contains a small element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a completely different impression. We rate it Mostly False."

We agree that the meeting between Bill Clinton and the Attorney General that he appointed back in 1999, was INCREDIBLY stupid for the reason of "optics" alone, they both should have known how it would look even if it was just two old friends talking about grandchildren and golf. Yet another example of the Clintons "looking" like they are up to something, but no hard proof of anything illegal.

 

I think you are being a little tough on the GOP here TDK

1. Implemented the $1.3 trillion "Bush tax cuts" of 2001 and 2003, significantly lowering the marginal tax rates for nearly all U.S. taxpayers

2. Signed the No Child Left Behind Act reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and supporting standards-based education reform

3. Led talks that led to the US-India Civil Nuclear Agreement with India, greatly improving relations between the countries

4. Established the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), an AIDS program that committed $15 billion to combat AIDS over five years, especially in Africa

5. Signed the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibiting discrimination based on disabilities

6. Signed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which compensated people who contracted cancer and other diseases as a result of exposure to atmospheric nuclear testing undertaken during the Cold War

7. Reauthorized the Clean Air Act, which requires cleaner burning fuels

There are plenty more. I hear what you are saying TDK, but the GOP, IMO, is not pure evil, the party just attracts some politicians that are, lol. But to be fair, there are some equally as bad politicians on the Dems side too.

I'm gonna dissect this later because I have an issue with a few of these

 

Cool, looking forward to it.

 

Do you remember how much shit Obama got in his first term for even offering the idea of speaking directly to Russian leaders instead of taking strong military action in Eastern Europe???

Conservatives who are suddenly so warm and fuzzy with Putin is just confusing to me.

I guarantee this wasn't your position on Russia in 2008.

 

Hm. A $500,000 campaign donation?? That must be the largest single donation in modern political history.

Care to attach some names to the allegations and the numbers???


As for Bill's meeting with the head of the DOJ, that has nothing to do with the FBI investigating Hillary.

The DOJ prosecutes based on evidence presented to them by the FBI.
If Loretta Lynch was given that case by the FBI, it's more than likely she would be compelled to do her job and indict HRC.

 

Didn't all this legislation get passed under Dubya's administration??
I doubt a single one of these bills would get passed under the current Congress.

 

The donation did in fact happen and its not all that unusual. One point of clarification is that the wife (Dr. McCabe) was running for a state senator seat in Virginia, one of 40 up for election, not US senator. McAuliffe (the donee) is a Clinton ally and his PAC did make the doantions per below....

McAuliffe, through his political action committee, and the state Democratic Party, donated to Dr. McCabe's campaign.

On Oct. 1, 27 and 29, McAuliffe's PAC, Common Good VA, gave Dr. McCabe's campaign a total of $450,000. (An additional $17,500 had been given earlier). The Democratic Party of Virginia spent $207,788 on Sept. 30 and Oct. 22 for mailings on her behalf. That would amount to 40 percent of the $1.7 million spent by the campaign.


Two other Democrats running for Senate seats, Jeremy Pike and Dan Gecker, got larger amounts from McAuliffe's PAC.

 

Yes, Dubya's and his pappy's administrations. I agree congress is so gridlocked now, it would be tough to get bi-partisan agreement on a sure fire cure/answer for cancer, world peace, ect.

 

4 more days thank God. Politics gives me a throbbing headache.

 

Thanks for the details, Loki. Still doesn't look like the quid pro quo Bliss was alluding to.

In other news,

 

And the worst part? They still left out stuff about Trump, like how he's the first Presidential nominee in years to not release his tax returns despite the fact that his damn own running mate released his weeks ago. Can you imagine the right-wing shitshow if Hillary Clinton didn't release her tax returns?

For a man who constantly brags about how wealthy and successful he is, and how much he gives to charity, it's incredibly suspicious that he won't do the one thing that candidates have been doing for literally decades now. It makes you wonder what it is that he's trying to hide from people.

 

The conservative Red State website produced a mini-documentary about Trump. Too bad most Americans won't see it before the election.

It shouldn't be pleasant its difficult and important.

 

Ok so tax cuts were a decent gesture but those same cuts were temporary and had the bad timing of expiring during the recession he caused with the wars. I'm skeptical of that 1.3 trillion dollar number at least in terms of the general public. I'm inclined to think it was more of a 80/20 split between business interests and the public but of course that's just my speculation.

The no child left behind program is plain awful, talk to any teacher who is now forced to keep kids in their class who need more indivualized attention and disrupt class for better behaved students. Literacy is down, math and science skill are down, I really don't know who this program is suppose to help. I have yet to come across a teacher who thinks this was a good idea. If anything this helps to further the dumbing down of the electorate.

I'll give you the Indian agreement but kind of loses it's meaning when currently we were fighting a war in a country that was falsely accused of having weapons of mass destruction.

Can't argue with the results of PEPFAR since it's reported that it saved over a million lives. My only contention is the timing since it happened in 2008 around the time of the crash and the abstinence provisions but otherwise it seems to be an overall humanitarian effort but again its a little tainted by the way we handled Katrina for our own people

Can't argue the last three even though I've never seen any other party fight for the dismantling of the EPA the way they do. One thing I can say about Dems at least they try to build on good efforts they don't destroy them based on who they like at the time.

 

Thank you for sharing this. I just watched and it's good to know that there are still some conservatives who realize how absolutely awful a Trump presidency would be and don't just blindly follow the party. It's just too bad Red State didn't do this months ago. They had the chance to be the canary in the coal mine.
