Collusion? Obfuscation? No shame?
Submitted by EdMass on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 12:48pmWell, seems our presumptive has some issues with the truth. It happens.
There is no recourse. The Clintons are in charge, no matter what. Oh, Bill just happened to be on the Tarmac. Loretta just happened to almost recuse herself unless Comey said... And he did. Who would've thunk...
As sometimes when one is paranoid it might make sense when someone is out to get you. So to, when it walks, talks and acts like a Duck, maybe its a Duck.
"Officer-Involved Shooting" = Murder by Police
Submitted by blazinAZ on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 11:58amPhilando Castile was murdered in Minnesota by a police officer as he was sitting in his car, reaching for his license and registration. His girlfriend, Lavish Reynolds, and her four-year-old daughter were in the car. As is common in extrajudicial murders of black people in America, the victim's loved one, Lavish, was taken into custody and as of this writing has not been released even though she is accused of no crime.

Submitted by Steven D on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 11:04amObviously, we are very excited and proud to have Nina Turner as one of our main speakers at The People's Convention in Philly on July 23rd:
If you can make it to Philadelphia on July 23rd, don't miss this opportunity. If you've ever seen Nina in person or online, I'm sure you will know what I mean when I say she defines the word "dynamic." "Passionate" too.
Why I believe Trump will NOT be a US President.
Submitted by Doc on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 10:20amI really must pooh-pooh this notion that Donald Fucking Trump has any real possibility of winning the election.
I did use to believe this may have been a real squeaker of an election, that with the long-standing Hillary Derangement syndrome on the Right. It just seemed that maybe he would turn out to be somewhat competent.
C-Span.org live on my iPad
Submitted by Writerinres on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 9:49amI am getting the live-streaming House hearing on "The Honorable" James Comey's non-explanation of why Hillary Clinton slithered out of yet another vast, right-wing conspiracy witch hunt concerning her emails. I left in disgust after a few minutes of Elijah Cummings comparing David Petraeus' slap on the wrist with Hillary's nothing burger (according to apologizer-in-chief) Cummings.
Open Thread for the Comey Hearing?
Submitted by mimi on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 9:28amI think it would be nice to get comments on what is said from people who understand legal matters better than I do.
If you don't mind...
On Chomsky and Halle's contribution to the army of Trump-fearing rubes
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 8:37amSo far I have refrained, here, from commenting on the Noam Chomsky/ John Halle statement about "lesser evil voting" -- mostly because the idea that the world needs more evil appears to me as a patent absurdity.
