Outcome of Secret Meeting Between Attorney General and Bubba

[chick_bleeds_carolina_blue]

And, I see all over the net where partisan Democrats are down-playing what Clinton did. They are acknowledging that she did wrong, but it wasn't "criminal." Of course, criminal is subjective. I even heard some say "It's like she went 60 in a 55." Well, technically, that is a crime, folks. That woman has more corruption, DC-connected slime, and corporate carousing than a lot of today's popular career political sell-outs. She's ideal for the office of President because that is what the office of President has come to mean, represent, and is expected to be- a PhD Political Puppet with a Master's in Corruption and a BA in Pandering.

Of course they're downplaying it, however, if Trump were the one being investigated for the exact same thing, they'd suddenly be screaming that he needs to be indicted and ultimately put in prison. It's only "bad" when the opposition says so, otherwise it's no biggie! smh same crap, different day.

And I personally think she needs to be indicted and removed from running for office ever again.

Unfortunately, his chances of getting elected are slim to none. a vote for him is essentially a vote for the Hildebeast.

As for campaign finance reform, I couldn't agree more. It is very badly needed. I think a limit should be set, say $10 million, and any money donated above that should be equally distributed to those candidates who haven't raised the limit. Money plays way too much part in our elections.

The first part could not possibly be more wrong. Even if not voting for Trump were "practically like voting for Hildebeast" then not voting for the 'Hildebeast' would be "practically like voting for Drumpf." Your own logic cancels itself out. Of course it doesn't rally matter who any of us vote for until we go back to paper ballots because we have no possible way of verifying the vote totals.

As to campaign finance reform the best system is very simple. Publicly funded elections. You get a certain amount of signatures to prove you are a legitimate candidate, then you get the same amount of money as everybody else. Private contributions should be banned. There would be no reason that anyone would need to be able to write a check to be able to support the candidate they prefer.

The presumptive nominees have the highest unfavorable levels on record. If one of them is elected, it will be a clear sign to the political elite that they are in complete control. This country obviously could do a helluva lot worse than Gary Johnson at this point. Frankly if you don't want the wealthy to continue to control the government then now is the time to put your foot down and vote for someone who isn't Hillary or Trump. And convince everyone you know to do the same. You'd be amazed how many people just don't realize there is another option.

In a way, I hope the next election offers an EVEN WORSE selection from the 2-in-1-Party. I would like to see just how bad the candidates can get and still watch Americans vote for them in droves. Every election has at least 3 people on the ballot. I often wonder if the Electoral College would, for once, go against the popular vote if a 3rd Party were to win it.

We have so much more influence on our local and state governments. On a national level, we're basically bystanders.

It really pisses me off that this woman can be found to be so negligent and irresponsible... and it's like she was caught going 40 in a 35 zone.

When I was in the service we used code books that were classified Secret when we were out in the field and needed to use the radio. We were told from day one, if we lost or misplaced that book we would be sent to Leavenworth, no questions asked.

I know, I was told the same thing when I was in the service not just a few short years ago. I'm sure if I had done anything remotely resembling what HRC did I would have already been locked up and the key thrown away...

I would say it was more like doing 80 in a school zone, much better analogy imo...

You misunderstood the analogy.

Yep, I missed it, got it now.

A Naval Reservist was prosecuted and convicted in 2012 for doing basically the same thing as HRC...

The Dems start every election knowing they will get 90+% of the minority votes. That makes what I stated true. The Republicans have to scratch and claw for every vote, the Dems buy the minority vote with promises of more and more free stuff. The problem is it isn't free, they're just making someone else pay for it.

Well, promise people free stuff. It's not like you have to deliver on any of it. Most Americans are dumb enough to keep voting for liars with an R or a D by their name EVERY, SINGLE, TIME. It's become instinctive now. The way most Americans participate in presidential elections has made the entire process absolutely meaningless. And, they have no one to thank but themselves.

What they should really do is scrap all notions of a party. That way, the people who just blindly vote for one party or another would have to actually do research on the candidates to figure out which ones they would prefer. Also, it would prevent elected officials from voting one way or the other because that's what the rest of their party did.

I think we should take the names off the ballots completely. Just have nine questions on the ballot and the candidates answer to those question. The questions would relate to the most important issues facing the country for that election cycle. The candidate who gets the majority of the “I agree with” selections gets the vote. You walk out of the polls never knowing who you voted for, but you know that the person you voted for is the one you agree with the most. This would actually force people to pay attention to the issues and the candidates policies instead of the letter next to the name. It would also force the candidates to focus on the issues and their policies since the voter won’t be able to pick them by name or party affiliation.

If we had two noteworthy independent candidates, one to siphon votes off each party, then we would see a real election. Imagine bernie and romney running along with trump and hillary.

Imagine if we had those four and a 5th candidate who was actually worthy of a vote.

I like the creative thought here. Love you guys!

This would be great, but only if the politicians were somehow forced to stick to their answers that they stated - and there being some regulatory body that vetted the possibility of such answers. Otherwise, when it came to taxes, someone could just answer "I believe only corporations should be taxed, not individuals" and then that would collect the most votes, but not actually be able to be implemented.

True, but that's no different than it is now. They say something to get votes and then do the opposite all the time. At least this way the uninformed voter would sit at home and there would be less personal crap from the candidates. The personal crap is useful now because you know who you are voting for. If you don't know who you are actually voting for then the candidates would have to differentiate themselves through their policies.

I think you do have two independent candidates available: Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. Jill Stein ripped the FBI decision to let HRC walk on espionage charges.

 

[chick_bleeds_carolina_blue]

I sure hope that Congress is happy with all the time and money they are wasting today on the hill questioning the FBI director Comey because he said something the R did not like! I agree the woman is a crook but the DOJ has not even made a decision yet that I am aware of and they are sitting here all day raking this guy over the coals for not suggesting prosecution. He doesn't decide that anyway, he just makes a recommendation, they don't HAVE to follow that recommendation. There are so many other things they could be doing instead of continuing this kiddie tug of war over who is on the right or wrong side of the club! Ridiculous! smh

 

[tarheel0910]

FBI headquarters is located in DC. Unless they are paying for his lunch I don't think any money is being wasted. As far as time goes, I'm ok with them spending time talking to him. The more time they use talking to him, the less time they have to pass some idiotic law.

DOJ has not even made a decision yet that I am aware of

They announced yesterday that they are closing the case.

Well there ya go then.... it's a done deal, so they are wasting time! We are just going to have to deal with the fact that she is about to run this country (in the ground even more) but it is a sad fact.... sighhhhhhhhhh She cannot lose, she cannot be taken down, she is untouchable, I guess. Great!

 

[Nuk'EM Heels]

House Committee on Government Reform will be submitting a referral to the FBI requesting that an investigation into HRC lying to Congress under oath - FBI director Comey has said that all her statements regarding her emails - including those made under oath to Congress - are lies. So, there ya go. Just gets better and better... And, OBTW, the public corruption investigation into HRC and the use of her office to promote the Clinton Foundation and Clinton's POTUS election bid is still on the table and Comey would not comment about those investigations before Congress today... So, yeah, there ya go...

 

[Nuk'EM Heels]

Oh, it gets better. The State Department is re-opening its investigation into Clinton's emails focusing on how classified emails to and from Clinton's private server were categorized at the time they were sent. This would logically lead to questions and hopefully answers as to how classified information jumped from classified servers (Secret and Top Secret) to Unclassified servers to HRC's illegal, unauthorized, non-secure server... That should be interesting.
