Rigging the Election

The idea is to agitate in line and be so obnoxious that you get someone to react. Then the news covers it and says how violent the Trump supporters are.

The "naturally psychotic" people he's talking about are the ones attending the rally who get mad at people saying that Trump is a Nazi.

Weird, huh? Because you know that someone pulling that at a Hillary rally would be greeted with, "that's okay, everyone has their own opinion"....as if.

They share a list of all the Trump and Pence appearances and get people to turn out to agitate. It's really surprising that there hasn't been more conflict than there has. If you have enough people showing up, trying to engage in conflict, eventually they're going to find a few people who are having a bad day and are just one asshole away from losing it.

The people claiming responsibility for events like the Chicago Trump protest say they coordinate with the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

Also, according to Scott Foval, Iowa and Wisconsin are "racist as fuck".

Poll Maker from the Legal Broadcast Network

Pence is winning, even when it looks like the heavy voting is from Clinton-likely areas.

How many votes are because Pence did better? How many out of party loyalty? How many because viewers have had enough of the blatant preferential treatment the moderators have been giving to the Democrats.

Hillary Clinton's Speech Transcripts

What if she won't release the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street firms because she didn't make any speeches but only took payment for them?

NY Post: Snakes On a Plane

NY Observer:
He just started walking over and [even her security] can’t tell him, ‘you can’t do that.’ He walked in her plane for at least 20 to 25 minutes and the FBI is standing face to face with the Secret Service and just chatting on the hot tarmac like, ‘what the hell.’ ”

Being a former POTUS means no one can say, "No"?

I feel sorry for the Secret Service people who were left out on the tarmac in heat that was around 110 degrees. You know it would be even hotter for them, standing around in black suits, on concrete that would radiate more heat. But who cares about them? Or if there were other planes that couldn't land because Bill had to chat with Lynch.

I Think She's Disgusting

In a roundtable on CNN Friday, commentator and GOP strategist Ana Navarro launched into an impassioned rebuttal of Donald Trump's recent comments against Latinos including his continued allusion to the Trump University judge's "Mexican" heritage.

Navarro warned Trump's comments will have consequences on election day. 

"What he's doing is disgusting. I'm livid about it, and if this is his strategy to win over Hispanics, he's got a hell of a wake-up call coming to him come November," Navarro said on CNN.

I don't have any particular reason for calling her disgusting, but I don't think she's got a legitimate reason for saying that about Trump either.

First, should people involved in a law suit be forbidden to speak about it? Should they be banned from disagreeing with the judge?

"This man was born in east Chicago. He's an American citizen. He's just as American as Donald Trump."

Sure, if Trump had grown up speaking a foreign language and has joined groups and organizations for that ethnic group. He's a member of the of the La Raza Lawyers of San Diego and, through them, has awarded scholarships to illegal immigrants.

Is is unreasonable for anyone to think that someone heavily involved with the immigrant community, possibly with some of the people who wave Mexican flags and riot outside of Trump rallies, should have recused himself from the case?

If a judge spends some of his time helping one group of people and they are violently opposed to a person being sued in his court, wouldn't any reasonable person think it would be very hard to maintain an impartial viewpoint?

Hillary Champion of Veterans

I think the problem here is the difference between what Donald Trump says and what Donald Trump does. You know, he's bragged for months about raising $6 million dollars for veterans, and donating a million dollars himself, but it took a reporter to shame him into actually making his contribution, and getting money to veterans’ groups. I, of course, over the course of my life, I've not only donated personally, but I've worked to provide hundreds of millions of dollars over time to help our veterans by what I voted for, what I've worked for.

 Of course.

"Over the course of my life" and "worked to provide" are weasel words that make it hard to pin down just what she's claiming to have done that she's comparing to the donations that Trump made just this year.  With that in mind, let's see what she's done this century.

What Did the President Know and When Did He Know It?

The man who was State Department inspector general from 2005 to 2008 said, “I would have been stunned had I been asked to send an email to her at a personal server, private address. I would have declined to do so on security grounds and if she had sent one to me, I probably would have started an investigation.”

There was no Inspector General during the time Clinton served in the State Department.

The White House acknowledged earlier this year that they had been aware of Clinton's private email address and that President Obama had exchanged emails with her. To be clear, everyone knew she had a private email address, no on wondered what server it was on. The fact that it didn't raise any red flags for anyone makes me wonder if she wasn't the only one in the administration using private email to avoid FOIA searches.

Hillary is Clueless

Hillary Clinton didn't use password to protect her PC and used unsecure personal BlackBerry to send private emails 'because she's clueless with computers'

 Aw, she's just like grandma, can't seem to figure out this newfangled technology. Poor old thing.

No!

Age has nothing to do with it. Learning to use a desktop computer for email does not require any special skills or youthfulness. Technology isn't going to go away just because she can't be bothered with it.

What kind of decision making choices would she bring to the presidency if her thoughts hinge on avoiding technology or anything that is unfamiliar? Let's make things overly complicated instead of learning a simple new skill.

Sometimes I wonder if unfamiliarity with the technology was just an excuse. She was smart enough to get a law degree, so she can't be that stupid, can she? Maybe it was just a power play. See if she could get the State Department to change rules and adapt to her rather than have her change to adapt to it.

That's Her Story and She's Sticking To It

What Hillary got wrong (lied about) in her latest statement about her emails:

"Um, just like previous secretaries of state I used a personal email. Many people did. It was not at all unprecedented."

Yes, they had private emails, no they didn't use them exclusively to conduct State Department business.

"I have turned over all my emails. … I have been incredibly open about doing that."

She turned over some emails almost two years after leaving office. She should have turned over all of them immediately after she left the State Department. She deleted 31,000 emails that she said were private before turning any of the others over. She got to decide what was private and what was not, there was no third-party oversight.

"I will continue to be open."

You can't "continue" something you haven't begun.

"It’s not an issue that is going to affect either the campaign or my presidency."

Optimistic, isn't she?

She, or her defenders, have used the excuse that the emails weren't classified at the time, some things got classified after the email conversation. First, the likelihood of information becoming classified at a later time is a good reason to keep all State Department business emails on the government system instead of a private server. Second, it's not a good excuse because it's the content that matters, not whether or not there's a label on the content. If the Secretary of State didn't know what had the potential to become classified, she wasn't qualified to do the job.

And just for comparison

 A Navy sailor entered a guilty plea Friday in a classified information mishandling case that critics charge illustrates a double standard between the treatment of low-ranking government employees and top officials like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and ex-CIA Director David Petraeus.

Fast and Furious Emails

Yesterday I wrote about how Acapulco has come under the grip of terror by drug cartels. One thing that makes the situation in Mexico possible is our war on drugs. Another thing that hasn't helped was the Fast and Furious program that sold guns to criminals to take into Mexico.

New emails have been released that show what many suspected by has been hard to prove so far:

Fast and Furious was a Justice Department program that allowed assault weapons — including .50-caliber rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter — to be sold to Mexican drug cartels allegedly as a way to track them. But internal documents later revealed the real goal was to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America. Fast and Furious was merely a pretext for imposing stricter gun laws.

This video was from 2009. He can say with certainty that the guns in Mexico were purchased in the U.S. because he allowed the program that sold guns to drug cartels. Beyond the lie where he pretends our Second Amendment is what's responsible for Mexican gun crime, he also says that 90% of the guns recovered there are traceable back to the U.S. It was actually 90% of the ones that are traceable, a minority of them because most are untraceable, can be traced back to the U.S.
