I'll just Snort.

I get a kick out of the spin....I have never before heard an interrogation by the FBI called an "interview". And 5 lawyers??? For a voluntary meeting, that she is pleased to have been a part of???
If this "interview" brings anything to a conclusion, it will be Justice that is destroyed. It has become painfully obvious the Clintons are above the law

i think noblesse oblige ended with FDR.

I hear an excellent IT guy named Bryan Pagliano will be needing a job in the very near future. Can be had for a donation to the Clinton Family Foundation, formerly the Clinton Initiative Foundation.

I have it on good authority from our State Department It staff that deleting/disabling security features is always the best solution for these matters.

Since I don't have a song in mind for the latter: (VID DOESN'T SHOW IN PREVIEW)

I am definitely having antenna TV issues that have been going on since about spring. Roof top unit can't get channels it always got for like 5 years, but cheap rabbit ear type in my room does when it didn't for years.

Hillary's meanness and entitlement are utterly transparent and make her so off-putting to I think the majority of voters. Her hubris and arrogance are shining white hot with the email revelations. This is not to mention the capricious Wall St speeches and outright money laundering of the Clinton Foundation. She is an awful, awful candidate who is highly disliked and not trusted for all of this and more. The feminist angle is nauseating. Your description of her posturing and that of her brainwashed cheerleaders is dead on accurate.

Could be the most bizarre and unpredictable election season of any. It should also be the straw that broke the camel's back of the American electorate and their fealty to this experiment in democracy. The two very worst, most loathed candidates, now have to be sold by the venal MSM lapdogs and the two major political parties as the best we have, with a straight face. The evidence in the polling is consistent that very few haven't caught onto the ruse (the video clip from the Real News below is about a recent poll which says "71% say the economy is rigged in favor of certain groups" and that "69% think Wall St hurts Americans.") The Princeton Study, as we all saw a few years ago, showed over a 30 year period that the U.S. gov't is run by an oligarchy who get their wishes in legislation over the populace almost 100% of the time.

Sanders has been the only pres. candidate in decades who has dared to call out just how deeply beholden elected Congressmen are to their donors. And for it he's going to go down triumphantly in the history books as the candidate who both masterfully talked very clearly about the root cause being Campaign Finance and exposed it by mostly accepting only small individual donations, disproving the whole bullshit lie that you can't get elected without dirty Wall St and corporate money.

It is kind of sad that we are sitting here at this juncture hoping the email investigation by the FBI is the only path we have (as Cenk from TYT has said over and over), and perhaps in a way ultimately dishonors one of the most noble and dignified and literally revolutionary campaigns ever.

There's just so much fucked up in this election season, it's head-spinning. The flagrant voter suppression and fraud, the rigging of the debates, the manipulation of the caucuses, the media blackout, the Dem party henchmen ganging up to smear the "socialist" pipe dream candidate with lies that he "doesn't appeal to older folks and minorities."

You ask some heavy existential questions about where we stand at this moment, in light of it all. So does Chris Hedges' latest book, "The Wages of Rebellion: the Moral Imperative of Revolt," which I'm reading now. Just finished the 3rd chapter "The Invisible Revolution," which traces the history of such movements and their unpredictability but inevitability. Ends with this quote:

In this way many ideas, once held to be true, have come to be regarded as wrong and evil. Thus the ideas of the divine right of kings, of slavery and serfdom. There was a time when the whole world believed those institutions to be right, just, and unchangeable. In the measure that those superstitions and false beliefs were fought by advanced thinkers, they became discredited and lost their hold upon the people, and finally the institutions that incorporated those ideas were abolished. Highbrows will tell you that they had "outlived their usefulness" and that therefore they "died." But how did they "outlive" their "usefulness"? To whom were they useful, and how did they "die"?

We know already that they were useful only to the master class, and that they were done away with by popular uprisings and revolutions.

Neoliberalism will be added to the refuse pile of evil, just as the divine right of kings, of slavery and serfdom have. Hedges believes it is incorrect to think political ferment is dormant. It could be reaching its tipping point right beneath our feet at this moment.

As Berkman concluded about these moments in history:

“Because revolution is evolution at its boiling point you cannot ‘make’ a real revolution any more than you can hasten the boiling of a tea kettle. It is the fire underneath that makes it boil: how quickly it will come to the boiling point will depend on how strong the fire is.”

I've been feeling the same way you are. Therapists have a name for it: learned helplessness. After being on the receiving end of abuse over time, a patient learns that nothing will change because those that have the power to change things for the better don't. Government officials, whether elected or appointed, are failing to do what they promise to do when they are sworn in or appointed. The president is doing everything in his power to inflict an organized crime family on the citizens of the United States; a family that would have been shot for treason two hundred years ago. Joe Biden, the presumptive Clinton replacement waiting in the wings, said yesterday that he's known Hillary for forty years and she wouldn't hide her emails on purpose. Agency employees don't fulfill their watchdog roles to protect the public and many don't even do their jobs competently. The Supreme Court has been deciding fewer and fewer cases, and those they have taken, like Citizens United, have had chilling effects on our democracy. Congress is only concerned with vacations and obstruction, until enough influence has been gained to enter the gravy train of lobbying or consulting work. The rot travels from the head to the bottom, and, like the Roman Empire just before its fall, nobody wants to fight anymore.
