Snopes is very busy

Monday October 17, 2016 Factcheckers are very busy
The Republican side of the fence is squawking about Hillary's emails.
I searched in vain for the proofs of a new investigation of Hillary.
*sigh* Wasted effort. Fringe sites that are fact free.

The FBI didn't change its classification of the email and the State Department did not approve the FBI's request to increase personnel in Iraq, so it seems there was neither a quid nor a quo. The email was released to the public in May 2015 in redacted form and concerned possible arrests in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

According to Fox News, State Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy may have asked an FBI official to change the classification of an email in exchange for space at foreign postings for extra FBI agents.

In a statement, the FBI tells a different story. They say all of this happened before the FBI started investigating Clinton. The agency says a State Department official asked the FBI to give an email a second look. The official wanted the FBI to make sure it was supposed to be classified and if it wasn't, the State Department official wanted to know whether the email could still be protected from public disclosure.

The Republicans are seeking to produce another artificial plastic pearl from the sand in their butt cracks. Benghazi was ages, ago.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said there was no "quid pro quo" and it was the FBI official who raised the issue of putting more agents in Iraq, when they discussed the email.

Koch brothers are spending the cash to keep their pet Koch coalition in Washington.

Koch organizations picking up ground-game slack from Trump

Odd note

Before Trump became a viable candidate, the Republicans were ahead in early voting.
After Trump gained wide support the republican early vote count dropped dramatically.
Republicans are now "lagging badly."
WTF ?

BBC report on research from North Carolina.
The BBC firebombed the Republican office ?
/end sarcasm sequence.

Melania speaks on Trump Pussygate 10 days after.
"Boy talk."
Trump is 70 years old.
Ho hum. Nothing new, or different.
Left with the impression that Trump
had his tongue up the other man's anus.
*shrug*

Trump and the media throw meat to the zoo.
Trump whines.
Uggghhhhhh

I was tired of the Trump Show, a week, ago.
I do not want to watch the new series.
Trump White House...

Is this a ploy by the elites, to force us into accepting an exchange of unacceptable presidential candidates for Parliament system?

[consoling Bart] What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons
 
Snopes this.. Kellyanne Conway is married to one of Paula Jones lawyers??
So that this is really about getting the Clinton's all over again
Poor Republicans!!
 
Republicans are now on record for their intentions to keep the Supreme Court from ever being fully staffed again. They should be drummed out of office ASAP.

It needs to happen this election. 2018 will be much more challenging.
 
Yes if you destroy evidence that means you're not guilty. It is hilarious listening to Hilary supporters trying to explain their way out of things.
 
Hillarious to see the SAME people wasting our time TRYING to take down the Clinton's. Kellyanne has some mighty big balls being Trump's mouthpiece or.. are they using him? Eitherway... Bernie was the real answer
 
Project Veritas' October 2016 election-related sting videos (embedded above) reveal tidbits of selectively and (likely deceptively edited) footage absent of any context in which to evaluate them. Unless his organization releases the footage in full, undertaking a fair assessment of their veracity is all but impossible.

Two Democratic operatives lose jobs after James O’Keefe sting

author of article - David Weigel

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ter-james-okeefe-sting/?tid=pm_politics_pop_b


So, how much malfeasance on the part of Hillary Clinton and the DNC has O’Keefe uncovered? About zero — at most, he’s caught a couple of longtime political players in groups that are not part of the Clinton campaign bragging about stuff they could do or could have done, with no proof that they’ve actually done it. It’s really an elegant bait and switch: O’Keefe has been bragging about all his operatives inside the Hillary Clinton campaign, and he serves up two guys from minor progressive organizations. Which quickly fired the guys.

Not that fact checking, or O’Keefe’s history of lying really matter all that much. He’s got “proof” the election is rigged, and that’s good enough for the Trumpsters. Expect Donald Trump to bring up this idiocy at tonight’s debate — and for him to keep talking about it even after it’s debunked.

gsgs comment-

The truth does not matter to Trump.
He tweets out a message to followers to look for a video that did not exist.


No problem, for Trump to refer to a video that is misleading.
 
Trump's grandfather took the wealth from the American gold rush to Germany

Trump's father
The delightful Fred Trump was arrested during a Ku Klux Klan rally in Queens in 1927 when he and some hooded gentlemen of his acquaintance wished to make it known that they considered power and privilege to be reserved for Protestants only. It was bad enough that New York had elected a Catholic governor and that Board of Aldermen was filled with Catholics and Jews. But the newspapers were saying that Smith might be nominated for president the following year.

Donald had to drag his same old campaign slogans to a charity dinner party.

Why did Trump say that Hillary is pretending to not hate Catholics ?
Stangely, the highly placed Catholic cleric s consoling her,after Trump's attack.
(Abortion is an issue that divides. The Christian religions take a firm stand against abortion.)

As is usual, Hillary's responses were presidential. She kept it mild, but she put in a little burn.


Hillary shakes Donald's hand, but she had to stretch her arm out.
(with much distance between them, and chairs.)

Hillary has breasts and legs.

Maybe, she should have stuck her arm out between two strong body guards.

Voting rights in America -- including the key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that was shockingly gutted by the Supreme Court a few years ago -- should be a front-burner issue in the 2016 presidential election. Yet it wasn't even brought up at the debates, where valuable time was wasted stoking billionaires' unfounded fears over the national debt instead. Now suddenly there is a national conversation about the health of American democracy -- but only about why Trump won't accept the election result.
