It's unprecedented--and it's deeply troubling.
You know what else is unprecedented and deeply troubling, Your Roil Highness?
DINOs like you, your husband and Al From hijacking the Democratic Party, leaving some of the worst policies of Republicans permanently unopposed--or espoused--and giving Democrats all over the country midterm election results like those of 1994, 2010 and 2014. And doing the same in several European nations.
A First "Lady" taking two years to comply with a subpoena, then having documents just turn up mysteriously--in the family dining room of the White House, where nobody, including the Secret Service, saw nutthin'!
Setting up a re-election campaign war room in the White House (though I'm guessing Bush and Obama did not dismantle it), as though the White House were private Clinton property, rather than property of all taxpayers.
Using the Lincoln Bedroom, what should be holy ground in this country, for sleep overs for big campaign donors.
A President's former business partner willing to take a sentence of eighteen months in jail for contempt of court, rather than answer three questions about the President's business dealings (and getting a partial Presidential pardon from a member of a family that seems to have no concept of propriety. Probably another first, but I'm not sure--a President's giving a pardon to someone who went to jail rather than testify truthfully about him!)
A sitting U.S. President's lying to a Grand Jury on national TV, after he lied to his Cabinet privately and wagged his finger while he lied to all of America and the rest of the world on national TV.
Impeachment of a U.S. President, other than this guy:
Impeachment of a President in which Exhibit A was his DNA. (To high school history teachers all over the U.S.: I feel your pain.)
A sitting President being disbarred by the state of which he was once AG and Governor.
A former First Lady trying to take credit for the Kennedy-Hatch SCHIP bill, which was necessitated in the first instance by the awful mess you made, including with members of your own Party, with your right-wing health care bill.
A U.S. President being in debt (for legal defense fees) when leaving office to having hundreds of millions of dollars in annual income within seven years, mostly from influence peddling--then doubling his "speaking" fee when his wife becomes Secretary of State because somehow her new position made his speeches twice as good.
Lying about believing George Bush 43. Lying about so many other things, too. Even Trump polls better on honesty than you. And probably deserves to!
A Democrat's running a xenophobic, racist and Islamophobic Presidential primary campaign against another Democrat. Not to mention making up stories to pretend you had foreign policy cred and being so delusional as to imagine you would not be caught.
A Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful laughing on television about dropping bombs and the cruel murder of a head of state. Middle Easterners, meh, amirite?
A Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful maintaining her own servers for official government business and recklessly doing only heaven knows what with classified information.
A former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful taking two years to comply with an FOIA request and arranging to have her servers wiped before she even partially complies.
A former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful being under investigation by the FBI of a President from his or her own political party, when a special prosecutor obviously should have been appointed. But, that's on Obama and Lynch, right?
The lawyer/spouse of a former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful chatting up the Attorney General of the United States on airport tarmac shortly before the AG would otherwise have made a prosecution decision about his wife.
The Attorney General of the United States recusing herself from making a prosecution decision regarding a former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful and punting the prosecution decision to the head of the FBI (to your benefit, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?).
The head of the FBI publicly announcing the results of an FBI investigation (in your favor, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?)
The head of the FBI making a prosecution recommendation (in your favor, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?)
The head of the FBI, a graduate of one of the finest law schools in the nation, misstating criminal intent so that he could falsely claim that you lacked criminal intent.
The head of the FBI falsely claiming no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute, thereby taking the AG off the hook, while at the same time saying any other suspect would have been prosecuted (to your benefit, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?). So much for much of the Bill of Rights and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, yet Comey did not get fired by the Equal Protection law lecturer! Inexplicable that!
A member of the Secret Service believing he needs to protect the nation from a former First Lady. http://caucus99percent.com/comment/199061#comment-199061
The degree of hypocrisy, corruption, dishonesty and entitlement that you exhibit--and have been indulged in by almost every elected official, Democratic, Republican or Libertarian. Too bad you are taking down with you the reputations of so many others.
Your droning loudly and imperiously that voters deserve "full and complete facts" broke every irony meter on the planet. Probably on several planets. We won't know until we get there.
Your never-ending supply of victim cards, excuses and rationalizations and falseness.
I have not come near mentioning everything.
All of the above is totally unprecedented--and it's deeply troubling.
Here's a big FYI for you and your apologists: Richard M. Nixon was never convicted of a thing and Al Capone was never convicted of anything other than income tax evasion. Nonetheless, everyone knows what they were.
And now, some free advice that will stand you in good stead if only you heed it:

I can't answer until the
electoral and popular votes have been counted. It will take a LOT to get rid of LOTE, because the brainwashing has been so strong for so long.
If Hillary loses the electoral vote and/or Greens get 5% of the popular vote...
Otherwise
Their panicky response to the FBI news...
...shows that they are really, really scared that it could end up costing her the White House.
Consider: her expressed anger at Comey, the FBI director, is very revealing, the fact that she/they felt they needed to cast doubts on his purposes in order to create an alternative 'issue' to focus the MSM's attention on...
Do you suppose the next step will be to accuse Comey of being a Russian stooge in service to Putin?
James Kroeger
They will say anything, do anything to get her elected,
except, of course, the good and true things.
Funny how her "conspiracy theories" are credible to the bots, but everything else is just exactly what some authority figure or other says it is.
When it comes to the FBI and Hillary, it's fairly clear whom Americans find more credible--though Comey certainly befouled himself when he announced that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute Hillary, but anyone else who had done the same thing would be prosecuted.

Comey gets a wee bit of "redemption" for fucking up so badly when he had the chance to be an honest man, especially after Billy & Loretta had their meeting on her plane.

Nope--I just got a message on the subject
from Rabbi Arthur Waskow, always a kind, gentle man with a strong passion for justice who has fought against war and greed and global warming for decades--and this is what he said:
From the Desk of Rabbi Arthur Waskow
Is FBI Director supporting Trump for President?
Dear friends,
Yesterday I celebrated my second Bar Mitzvah in the midst of hundreds of friends and supporters of The Shalom Center, and received the “Mi Sheh-berakh” blessing after reading from the Torah -- from Rabbi Deborah Waxman, president of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
In the midst of her blessing she announced that this coming June, RRC will confer on me the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.
Sometimes words of blessing are just words. Sometimes they soak in, through ear and brain to heart and guts and soul. This blessing, and the whole day of celebration, soaked in. I felt truly and deeply blessed. Deep healing from past wounds, deep encouragement –- “heartening” -- into the continuing work of healing the world through the Majesty of Nurture. (My interpretation of a line from the Alenu prayer -- “L’takkeyn olam b’Malkhut Shaddai.” )
And the work never ceases. This morning, as I read reports of the FBI director’s attack on the presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton, I sensed a strong danger to American democracy and to the values that I have learned from Torah and done my best to carry into the world. So I have this morning sent the following letter to the New York Times.
To the Editor:
During the 1960s, under J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI had a strong right-wing political stance. I was one of nine Washingtonians who sued the FBI for its illegal and unconstitutional “COINTELPRO” project in using theft, forgery, and other crimes to damage the civil rights and antiwar movements. We won our case, and the verdict was upheld by a panel of the Federal Appeals Court that included then Judge Antonin Scalia. (See Hobson v. Wilson.)>
The present director of the FBI has now twice gone beyond what even Mr. Hoover did, by nakedly interfering in a Presidential election. He has violated the FBI's own legitimate practices to deliberately damage the Presidential campaign of Hilary Clinton. He evidently seeks to elect Donald Trump, whose announced policies include creating a massive police force to expel eleven million people living peacefully in the United States and a change in libel laws to prevent the free press from criticizing public officials.
The coalescence of the FBI director’s authoritarian actions with Mr. Trump’s authoritarian politics bodes ill for American democracy. Mr. Comey should resign or be fired.
Rabbi Arthur Waskow
My response:
Wow. I am heartily sorry to have to part ways with you, but I will not walk with you down this path. Hillary Clinton has done things for which, in this era of frequent use of the benighted Espionage Act, and hyper-paranoia about national security, others have been imprisoned for years or even decades--and, in fact, Hillary Clinton has spoken in favor of extremely punitive measures for those people. The FBI, if it were pursuing its actual stated job, would have prosecuted her the first time.
I am one who believes that Watergate was a shining moment for our democracy, in that it was proved that the rulers had to obey the same laws as the governed.
I didn't think you would be one of the ones I would lose this election cycle.
I wish you all the best, peace and long life.
I don't care if I alienate every last friend, relative, and political ally I have; I won't lie for her.

By the way, I really hate the way fonts work here--
I had to go back and repeatedly enter the bold and italics formatting on each paragraph separately, and even then one of them remained in plain type.
It wouldn't matter except that I use those fonts to distinguish quotations from my text.
Oh well.

Who best represents those who control the political economy?
I'd say it's the Clintons and global capital is all in all the time for her election. I think it's about class and we can't afford the tuition.
(Nice gathering of facts - I did not know Clinton still had some control over parts of the White House and am appalled that the Dept of Justice makes no pretense anymore that they have an interest in equal justice.)
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
Thank you!
I'm not sure what you mean by Clinton controlling part of the White House. She does seems to control POTUS and FLOTUS, though.
I think I misread the "war room in the White House" thinking it
was happening now instead of in the past. Sorry, read too fast and misunderstood.
I recommend that all read the passages of the neutering of the DoJ - that Dept has always favored the establishment but has now gone way beyond that in its overtness. The Dept of Justice seems to have dropped all pretense.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
Apologies unnecessary. Trying to span 1992 to 2016 was
probably not the best idea. It's tempting though, because she's so consistent.
What she did when she got a document subpoena relating Whitewater is not all that different from what she did when she got an FOIA request for her D.O.S. emails. Each even took two years!
Consistency is a distinguishing feature with the Clintons,
isn't it? The getting elected at all costs; the say anything to hide their motives; their lust for money, no matter the source and no matter the ethics...they've always been that way.
Another identifying trait is their disregard for the lives of others, whether at home or abroad.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
Yes.
Ordinarily, I might say something like, "Thank heaven for small favors," but they are consistently evil and corrupt, which is not even a minuscule favor. It's just bad, bad, bad.

The Dems have thoroughly alienated
The Democrat's contempt for their so called party and voters is palpable down ticket, thanks to their stealing of this election for the two biggest and worst GOP crooks on the planet. Except for President, I voted Green everywhere except for my State House and Senate. The state House and Senate I gave to the Ds because Snyder and the DeVos hijack of Michigan. President I still can't decide between Stein and Trump. MI does so little polling. Like our Bernie surprise during the primary, I think MI is going to surprise everyone again.

Think polls are more useless than ever
I know many former Democrats, demexits, ex Bernie supporters who are voting, or have already voted for Trump, and ABSOLUTELY will not discuss it when asked. As they all wore Bernie buttons, tee shirts, etc., they are often asked. It's just not worth it to get into an argument. The Republicans I know are even more reluctant to say anything, most saying, "not worth voting" - and I know they're all voting for Trump.
Doctors, lawyers, members of state gov. - just not risking a brawl over this.
Seriously think the polls are way off - especially the way Mook & his friends are manipulating them.
Thing is, will they manipulate the vote, too?
When Trump was saying that the election might be rigged, a chorus of finger pointers went on MSNBC. Every single one of them said almost the exact same thing in almost the exact same words. I don't remember their exact wording, but the gist was in person voter fraud at the polls is very, very rare. Well, what abouto election fraud, other than voter fraud? What about vote caging? What about absentee ballots? (Remember how many absentee ballots were cast for Hillary during the primary? Her bots bragged about that.)
Come hell or high water, after this debacle finally ends, we have to figure out a way to get a clean vote count.
Except for a remarkable failure in 1960
Republicans have always been the better vote snatchers.
Yes, but Hillary got many of
Yes, but Hillary got many of the Republican funders in the competition and billions of the big money's been placed on her.
It's the corporate/billionaire culture creating this blatant degree of electoral cheating - and the fact that they've been promised the world and are set on taking it, even at the cost of destroying it.
The stakes are them having it all, even if in ruins, (using both Trojan Horse 'trade deals' - supported by both corporate parties and the Libertarian - for a semblance of 'legality' in a hostile corporate global take-over of the world's democracies, among other countries, using our human and other resources, militaries and public funds for military invasion/nuking of other countries not otherwise to be captured,) against us keeping life on the planet and regaining at least the concept and ideals of democracy and civilization.
Never vote for evil.

“Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” ~ Sun Tzu
I agree.
The damage she has already done at home and abroad is mind-boggling.
How awful that the Presidency of the U.S. has come to Clinton v. Trump, the two most disliked, distrusted and disbelieved candidates in US history. I would vote for Nixon or Romney before either of them.
Think about this
Last election people voted for Obama partly because we thought he was against 'stupid wars' and that he would end the Iraq war and not start new ones.
Hillary is telling people that she is going to create a no fly zone which will not only see more Syrian people killed but risk a war with Russia.
And why aren't her supporters asking why the hell is it our right to overthrow Assad at the cost of over 250,000 Syrian lives?
There was a time that people on the left were against the wars of aggression but since Obama has been elected the left has been silent.
And more than a million people have been killed.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
the left hasn't been silent
The left hasn't been silent; it's been silenced. Both major political parties are right-wing at this time, along with all of the mainstream media.
But that doesn't mean the left doesn't exist, or that it's been silent on this bloody war crap. It just means that Ike Eisenhower was right, and what he foresaw in the late 1950's has now come to pass in our days.

I guess when you consider the full force of the federal gov't,
many states and cities and big business have been at war with the organized Left for 100+ years, it's remarkable it lasted as long as it did. This doesn't mean to say it can't and won't rise again; but, I think an organized international Left will start elsewhere and will later get support in the USA.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
People are against wars, but they finally figured out
Washington is not going to respond to them. The petitions, the demonstrations, etc. They make us feels as though we are doing something, but that's deceptive. They don't produce results. Besides, many people are working two and three jobs. They're exhausted. They're discouraged.
Exactly. In order to have any

Never vote for evil.

Either everyone in Michigan is fed up with the 1% establishment
so will (surprisingly?) go for Trump, or they'll swallow the Kool-Aid and go for Hill. I don't think it's likely to be close. So I'd say vote for Jill and help create a big protest vote from the left.

Clinton Emails en mass Would Bring Down US government
FBI Source: We Failed America, Revealing Clinton Emails en mass Would Bring Down US government
This was published on August 17, 2016 and has been proven to be predictive over the past couple months. Some excerpts:
These postings were reportedly found on the "dark web" with layers of deep anonymity. I would guess an onion site on Tor or whatever. I can't prove it one way or another without seeing screen caps of the original postings. But there is indications that the postings show an deep insider knowledge of the FBI investigation. I can't judge that.
I am also posting this without doing much of a background check on "Catholic Online" where this article is found. There is a review at "Catholic Culture" see:
The review also has a complaint about linking to "McClatchy" now called "Tribune News Service". http://www.mctdirect.com/#tn3=0/00
Where we find one of their head columnists, a Black male Leonard Pitts Jr., writing columns like this: Donald Trump’s victim mentality. http://www.mctdirect.com/preview.php? Looking around the offerings (its behind a pay wall), it doesn't seem like a right or left wing conspiracy or hit site. Here is an article on Wikipedia about McClatchy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_McClatchy_Company
In the wikipedia article we find this which tends to underscore McClatchy as having some investigative creds:
OK, I debated about making this an essay and decided that first I would like to get further input from researchers and commentators on this site. I am all for debunking it if you can find that sort of information, or validating it. I don't care which, I am just looking for the truth here.

Apparently this outfit "Catholic Online" is among those that subscribe to Pitts' columns.

We've done some nice compilation pieces and would love to have some extra attention on this one.

Victor Pinchuk - Biggest Individual Donor to CF
Timeline of Hillary's Middle Eastern - European Pipeline Dream (Wikileaks Email #13297)
While most of the Internet is talking about some of the minor scandals and picadillos involved with the leaked government documents and emails appearing daily now... there are things which escape notice to most of us who don't know all the names and connections. I am not sure if I agree or disagree with the conclusions, but the data is good for further analysis.
Here is a reddit analysis of an email which most of us wouldn't pay much attention to:

I think this is also interesting as a backdrop. The web site for the Pinchuk Foundation. Also, please check the connections with the DAPL.

This is the sort of dark corruption which infects the USA government and the world. Its political cancer, destroying lives and whole nations through a greedy web of crony capitalism.
From the Light House.
I hate to sound Pollyanna, but
I think most Americans are basically honest. Or maybe they just don't have as many opportunities to be dishonest. Either way, I don't think most voters even begin to imagine this kind of thing. I know I don't.
basically honest
They are -- both basically honest and, more to the point here, devoid of guile.
This makes them easy marks for the likes of Her Heinous and ilk, as you correctly point out:

Nailed it. Excellent distinction.
thank you!

What's deeply troubling to me is they get away with
murder, literally, and everybody knows it but not a word about that, only the emails. The emails are the bad thing, the emails will bring her down, the emails show how evil she is, etc., while children are being killed in Libya and Syria because of Clinton.
I have to admit it pisses me off.
Why foreign affairs never resonates with the American voters
has always amazed me. No matter how foreigners many are killed and how much money is wasted it's never a big deal. Now Jimmy Carter "giving away" the Panama Canal was a big deal and the Democrats are still suffering from Carter's mishandling of that.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
We have *never* cared about the Lessers and the Others,
especially the Others who are "over there" and not here. It's who we are. It's what we are. And it's a very ugly picture.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
...because very few Americans had ever the experience
to have their own home/house/city/town bombed by foreign powers. They don't know the feeling of being dependent, having to leave, being refugee, being immigrant in other countries themselves. Some things you have to live through to understand them. Like you have had lived through the bombing of the World Trade Center towers. All of the sudden you understood how evil it feels when innocent people get bombed and their lives takes and their livelihood being in danger.
Just look what THAT experience had lead to in the American political psyche and landscape.
The only Americans who have been victimized are those, who are sent into wars, that are illegal according to international law, had to shoot inncocent people overseas, have to live with their guilt or with their stubborn denial that anything of their military mission was wrong, or the families had to suffer the death of a loved on son/daughter/husband/wife/ etc. Other than that Americans are victimized by their own internal policies.
I have no fancy research capability as you all have, but one thing is pretty easy to understand. It would be best if you withdraw all your military troops from overseas bases, stop training people, who just abuse your training techniques, don't pay contractors to do the dirty work overseas.
I know it will never happen, because if it would happen, you had tens of thousands jobless veterans and jobless contracters running around inside the US not knowing what to do next. All the "civilian" jobs they could do would be in security and in various DOD related agencies. Where they would continue warfare of the psychological and remote cyber-style warfare, hacking the world into pieces.
No thanks, you have to find another solution. Let tribal folks all over the world do their warfare on their own. Do not intervene. It's not your responsibility. In my opinion. If you can resist the whining from those, who all want your "protection, your arms and your bribes and your payments of money for them being corrupted. All want money, nobody wants to be dependent, everybody hates to say thank you for something they should have earned and gotten in their own societies but didn't. People will say "Thank You, America, for standing behind us and helping us", but in their hearts they hate to have to say that. They rather would have been proud to have solved their local problems by themselves.
Stop that shit. Fuck that shit. Don't fight. Come home, take care of your own families, gardens, houses and indepedent little jobs, you need to create. Independent little business ownerships need to come back, not related to corporation, who do nothing but eat you alive.
ok. I am nice, I don't do revolutions, I don't do warrior stuff. I do nothing. And stay silent. Have a good day. I am way behind in reading and it looks I have missed miserable stuff. So, may be, that was not that bad. But I will come back and read it.
Great comment, except that
Great comment, except that hasn't it mostly been stepping in 'to protect American business interests' with propaganda, Black Flag events and other terrorism, military attacks, outright invasion and 'regime change' including anything, even the kidnapping of democratically elected leaders and phony elections of puppet-governments/tyrants to protect those American business interests and prevent legitimate democratic government acting in the behalf of the people to whom their resources belong?
And weren't most of the 'tribal problems' at best worsened to suit such purposes?
The problem stems from TPTB gaining ever more wealth and power from running countries like America for profit in order to take over the world, even though destroying it in the process.

Me too, but I think domestic issues have always had more
power than foreign issues. We're a terribly insular people.

domestic issues
Except, of course, when they need to have that power -- then, of course, foreign policy becomes the only thing. Our country is staging major, costly interventions in every continent on Earth to determine how other nations do their business while our own country is falling apart at the seams. We're bitching and intervening about other nations' holiday decorations while our own fucking house is burning to the ground!
You ask me, we need to be, if anything, more insular and isolationist! A stiff dose of autarky would do us good, and the rest of the Planet as well.

Sorry, I meant more power to sway elections.
I think most Americans either don't care what happens over there, or think we should be the one world superpower. Unfortunately.
We have the worst of both worlds - our "leaders" are intervening all over the place where they shouldn't, and the followers are not paying attention and/or voting against such hideous interventionism.
So I think for the best chance to get people to vote against a warmongering candidate, you focus on immediate domestic pocketbook issues and/or laws they may have broken. Not the fact that they're warmongers, because not enough people find that problematic.
For example, Facebook yesterday, "I don't like Jill Stein because she's a pacifist."
There's so much wrong with that statement I barely knew where to begin.
