Not one story about Clinton's leaked emails and her paid speeches made it to the front page of reddit today. This website is rife with censorship and paid shills.

Anything's possible. But I personally feel like everything Clinton is suspected of doing is pretty much par for the course as far as politicians go, especially at that level of power and influence. Hard to disrupt the masses with more of the same thing.
And I'm not saying any of it is excusable, nor should it be acceptable, but Trump can't go 72 hours without saying something abhorrently inflammatory. Even if our traditional view of "acting Presidential" is based on decades of bullshit, it's still comforting to most Americans that a candidate's public stance isn't filled with off-the-cuff ignorance and vitriol.
Does the entire system need a complete overhaul? Abso-fucking-lutely.
But do you think that whatever the fuck Trump is doing is really going to bring about real change? And if so, at what cost?
I think he's probably the reality of what many politicians truly are when they're not in character; think the Luther/Obama skit from Key n Peele. The only difference is that he's never had to answer to anyone, ever- which includes us, the American people.
And I just don't see him changing his blatant disregard for other humans this late in the game.
Sorry for the wall of text.
EDIT: Yes, I know what Correct The Record is, and there probably are people being paid to post pro-Clinton things online. But calling someone names because you don't agree with their perspective seems a bit childish.
If you add .COM to my username, you can easily find out who I am. And it's definitely not a "paid shill".
Also, thank you to /u/pmmckee for my first gold. I have no idea how it works, but it looks cool.

It's just this subreddit, you're pretty spot on. Trump is the most absurd acting presidential candidate I've seen in my lifetime. It's a weird election this year and conspiracy wants to bandwagon things so the culture permeates on random variabilities in things such as up votes.
58 Not_epics_ps4 2016-10-09
Trump is the only thing different in this election. Whether that's for better or worse is not my point here. Hillary is business as usual. People think with her its just another 4-8 years of whatever they're going through.
But Trump isn't the politician. The guy is vulgar and successful so its drawn people to him.Plus, people putting down Trump supporters just makes them support him more out of spite.
12 CHNLLOS_BIG_BOY 2016-10-09
If trump supporters get attacked at every corner, both physically or verbally, just for supporting the candidate, the reaction is not spite.
2 Not_epics_ps4 2016-10-09
Ive seen, first hand, these attackers and id be shocked if any of them even knew their own governor or mayors name. The clowns are triggered by nonsense from Facebook and twitter.
-6 TheMagicMarkerMan 2016-10-09
He's only different because we haven't seen a straight up bigoted racist get so far in society in a long time and it's brought all the others of his ilk out of their holes. When Trump supporters mention being oppressed by others it is because a majority of the population doesn't want to be lead by a person like this. And they abhor the idea of someone propping up this kind of figurehead. They remember their history and what someone like this can do to a country. Maybe we want to stay on the same road because it is familiar and we understand how to navigate it. With someone like Trump at the helm, we'd basically be lost in the woods as he has no moral or idealistic compass. He can only lead us down a dark path and when we all find ourselves lost and alone, he would abandon us and blame his rivals for leading us astray. That is not a president, that is a charlatan, unfortunately for some people, they can't tell the difference.

There is no point in arguing with CTR shills. These people can't be reasoned with. They're the kind of scumbags who take money to lie to people's faces.
If it were up to me, we'd round up every last person who took a check from CTR. Then we'd slit their tongues down the middle so that they can't speak and cut their fingers off so they can't type anymore.
Because that's how you deal with paid liars. You take away their ability to lie to you.

Hey man, I gotta feed my family. Hillary Clinton pays well and expects results! She called me this morning to tell me that.
That's why I decided to go where the most Redditors would see me, r/conspiracy. Why stay on a default sub when I could delve deep into this sub that's full of nothing but blatantly pro-Trump nonsense? THIS subreddit is where the undecided voters are!
I can't wait to get my big, fat CTR check. You mewling, faux-persecuted baby.

Dude, the stupidity is mind numbing. I've been on this sub pretty much since it's inception. The last few months has been a never ending flow of defacto pro trump (via anti Clinton) shit posts.
Your last line was spot on. I just can't wait for this election to be over so these fools can go back under the rocks they crawled out from under.

7 [deleted] 2016-10-09
The only reason i give trump my time of day is because he has held true on trade deals, specifically the upcoming TPP. i have strong feeling that's why the dems snaked bernie out of the nomination, he was against the TPP also. Hillary blatantly flip flopped on the matter for the sole reason to get votes.
I think the only reason hillary is really running is to make sure the TPP goes through from obamas hands. Trump and bernie have been dead against it and therefor have been on the losing side to the presidency.
Big money is behind the TPP and because of that hillary is probably going to win. She will see the deal go through with a smile on her face, yet another flip flop of a policy.
If the dems were serious about anything else other than the TPP then they would have welcomed bernie to be the nominee.
This, and maybe the anti islamification of the western culture is my only two reasons trump would have been the better candidate. His crass characteristics dont mean anything much to me in comparison.
Its a shame the majority of the voting population dont realize how many horrible policies hillary has been behind in the middle east which resulted in the death and displacement of millions of innocent muslims. Trump has not gone any where near the evil that hillary has carried out.
4 staticfire 2016-10-09
100% this. Initially I supported Bernie Sanders and then Gary Johnson, I even donated $125 to him but I stopped supporting Gary Johnson when he said he would sign the TPP and Bill Weld kept talking about how great Clinton is. So now I'm voting for Trump because I think Clinton will find a way to steal the election like she did with Sanders even if Trump legitimately wins.
3 captainsmoothie 2016-10-09
You say Trump has held true in trade deals...but all he's done is talk. He's never been in any public office, so he doesn't have a record to run on.
However, in his business life he's made a career out of crawfishing on deals big and small--his word is garbage. What makes you think he'll change his method as president?
1 [deleted] 2016-10-09
I dont really know. What is your opinion on trump? Esspecially in comparison to hillary?
4 captainsmoothie 2016-10-09
Broadly and briefly: he ran for president as a pure profit-making venture, and was surprised as anyone that he gained traction purely through bumper sticker jingoism and a limited vocabulary grounded in authoritarian strength. He became an enabler of racists, sexists, and white nationalists.
In comparison to Hillary, Trump has all of her neoliberal negatives in terms of foreign and domestic policy, combined with a truly bizarre set of quirks/flaws and a sheer lack of knowledge that would be extremely damaging for the world.
2 [deleted] 2016-10-09
Do you think if he were elected he would not try to really play the game with caution and become alot more "presidential" in his decision making? I think a lot of his political characteristics so far have been to gain popularity.. like "build the great wall and make mexico pay for it" type things. I wouldnt think he would maintain this loose lipped unpredictable type of show if he were to get the job. Thats only my 2 cents tho. I dont really know.
2 captainsmoothie 2016-10-09
Truly, nobody knows for sure. But I'm confident that there's no hidden, presidential Trump waiting to emerge. If there was, we'd have met him by now. In fact, much of the media fascination with him was "when is he going to start running for president and stop running for the GOP nomination?" The answer appears to be "never."
1 [deleted] 2016-10-09
Wouldn't alot of his policies have to pass through congress to get traction also? So even if he got in and had some far out ideas he couldn't exactly pull them off without any sort of process of voting it through?
2 captainsmoothie 2016-10-09
Nope. The executive has more power now then ever before. Congress is a dysfunctional mess, and in that vacuum POTUS will take initiative.

I meant that he has held true that he was against it. Ofcourse he hasnt done any trade deals.

They attack him over things that are true but not really his fault. Like the housing thing where colored families were stamped. Thats how some of our country operated at the time. All of these pocket communities and gated communities really only wanted certain types of people there. And it meant making money to provide them that.
Just little things like that I feel people cling to and its unfortunate they've convinced themselves hes some kind of modern Hitler. But its no surprise since most people are compared to him at some point.

My theory is that Trump is clowning on purpose to throw us into the arms of clinton (as a country) and that clinton will carry on with status quo for the oligarchs - she is an evil POS, but Trump is doing this so he will benefit from Clinton once she is POTUS
Make sure you watch the documentary called Clinton Cash, which details the corruption of the clintons - and it is apropos given the haiti suffering from the hurricane -- as in the doc, they talk about the clintons profiting off haiti's eathquake in 2010

We know he is absurd. That is why he was selected by Hillary and the DNC https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/784908158426869761
At the same time the DNC was rigging their own primaries against Bernie Sanders they were were also getting the MSM to give Trump extra airtime and tell their viewers to take him seriously. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/784908158426869761
Morning Joe also stopped telling their viewers that the DNC was rigged after DWS and Luis Miranda told Chuck Todd and Phil Griffin (president of MSNBC) to stop. https://www.wikileaks.com/dnc-emails/emailid/13718
We also know from James Comey that Hillary lied to voters about her email server. And we know from Robert Reich that Hillary will support the TPP.
So while Trump may have shit for policy, the DNC cheated their own party by not telling them the truth or holding Hillary accountable, and they propped up the opponent they want us to vote against. That is political extortion.
tl;dr: I will vote Trump unless Hillary and Kaine drop out, and if you vote for them you don't give a shit about our democracy or the power of the people.
0 possiblebraindamage 2016-10-09

-7 crossingtheabyss 2016-10-09
I agree Hillary is a much better actor than Trump, but that's because he behaves honestly while Hillary behaves the way she thinks the public wants to see.
Now you're just trying to sound smarter than you really are. Your statement here is just plain nonsense. If you want to see a culture that permeates on random variabilities visit
r/HillaryforPOTUSr/politics and see how they circle jerk on non presidential issues such as Trump's reality TV show. See how the Hillary shills in that sub take to real issues such as glass steagal, embassy deaths due to her poor decision making, avoiding criminal charges, being in bed with big money, having Obama lie to protect her, etc...Now, I'm not saying Trump is a great choice. His economic policy resembles Reagan's trickle down policy and we know that doesn't work. His life of being CEO, of being in charge, may have a negative impact when it comes to listening to advisers. Most of all, many of his supporters are unreasonable, blowhard idiots filled with racist remarks. Just visit r/theDonald. I really don't want to empower his supporters with a Trump victory.
Either way we're fucked. Biggest problem in this country though isn't the presidential candidates. It's the masse's dismissive attitude concerning their chosen party. Then there's people like you that think they can say nothing, permeate nonsense while appearing articulate. Please. Enough of the bullshit already. The Democrats and Republicans are both shit parties filled with corrupt people- they are of the same breed. Keep ignoring this fact and we will get shit candidates every four years.

Maybe he is referring to this?
“Obama Administration officials, including the Secretary of State, learned almost in real time that the attack in Benghazi was a terrorist attack. Rather than tell the American people the truth, the administration told one story privately and a different story publicly.”
Rep. Peter Roskam (IL-06) released the following statement regarding these findings:
“In the days and weeks after the attacks, the White House worked to pin all of the blame for their misleading and incorrect statements on officials within the intelligence community, but in reality, political operatives like Ben Rhodes and David Plouffe were spinning the false narrative and prepping Susan Rice for her interviews.”

What charity did she steal from? The one that's independently rated as putting 88+% of its donations toward actual charitable efforts?
13 Foo_001 2016-10-09
If you define "actual charities not controlled by the Clintons" as "programmatic grants," then it appears the number is 15%, with 85% staying with the foundation itself:
Between 2009 and 2012, the Clinton Foundation raised over $500 million dollars according to a review of IRS documents by The Federalist (2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008). A measly 15 percent of that, or $75 million, went towards programmatic grants. More than $25 million went to fund travel expenses. Nearly $110 million went toward employee salaries and benefits. And a whopping $290 million during that period — nearly 60 percent of all money raised — was classified merely as “other expenses.” ...The Clinton Foundation may well be saving lives, but it seems odd that the costs of so many life-saving activities would be classified by the organization itself as just random, miscellaneous expenses.

He doesn’t like the fact that the two single largest “charitable” initiatives of the Clinton Foundation — by its own admission — are the Clinton Presidential Library, which exists solely to put a positive spin on the 42nd president’s term in office, and the Clinton Global Initiative, which the New York Times characterized as a “glitzy annual gathering of chief executives, heads of state, and celebrities.” If hanging out with celebrities at glitzy dinners is the height of charity, then it’s time to beatify the Kardashian sisters.

Maybe because the links are fucked. The first one is the site's page for March, 2015 and a quick search for 'Clinton' found nothing. The second link is 404.
I think the first link is:

Second one might be:

And the missing last link:

Thanks for providing actual, live links that contradict what these morons are citing as fact from some hack with The Federalist.
Sad that the RNC chairman would say something so obviously false. Not surprising, just sad. It's true that if you repeat a lie often enough it will be believed. Especially by those who lack the capacity for critical, independent thought.

Well, given talking about Clinton isn't remotely something I do often, I apologize if words somehow don't seem "natural" to you due to your confirmation bias. I'm not by any means a fan of Hillary; I was Bernie all the way. But, that doesn't mean I demonize everyone else, and believe that lying about them is ok. The reality is The Clinton Foundation does put around 88% of the money they receive into charitable works. The 15% (ish) number that gets tossed around is what they give in grants to other organizations, not what they spend on charitable actions total.

Stealing from charities isn't as bad as stealing from Social Security, Education, and Veterans Aid by not paying taxes. Oh and don't forget that Trump has to be reminded by the media that the money he raised for charity actually has to go to said charity.

8 0vl223 2016-10-09
He is obviously one of the these traitors that work together with the chinese to create the hoax. Would you allow a known conspirator with the chinese to continue his work?
Seriously: Pretty much all of the environmental work is funded by some public institutions. If you have someone that thinks it is all bullshit and a big hoax there is a good reason to believe that he will work to remove funding from as many projects as possible. Depending on where he works there is a good chance to lose his job without federal government funding.
10 Lostbrother 2016-10-09
It would make things assuredly tougher. Trump believes that environmental regulations limit private businesses, so he would try to reduce the requirements. Those requirements, regulatory in nature, are what keeps me billable (permits, mitigation, environmental assessments, etc.) and keep the company I work for going. If he does that and cuts funding for environmental protection through the government, I would have no work.
3 BunburyGrousset 2016-10-09
And therefore he would ironically be doing the opposite of what he promised - creating more jobs.

1 fatcobra7 2016-10-09
Agreed, but they certainly are a larger subset than environmental scientists.
3 Lostbrother 2016-10-09
You underestimate the importance of large environmental firms. They pave the way for countless small businesses to compete for work they would otherwise be incapable of completing (some contracts require small women owned business involvement). They employ civil engineers, construction departments, etc.
It's not just environmental scientists. In fact, I would say environmental consulting firms incorporate more employees that aren't directly experienced in environmental work.
For instance, for some work on a navy installation, our contracting group hired a small company to complete almost the entirety of the work (often called pass through). The effects of reducing environmental compliance is far reaching, not even including the environmental base argument of saving the world.

3 0vl223 2016-10-09
Good joke. That's why it works so good in countries like china or in the past in any other country.
Polluting the environment is really cheap for companies if the country doesn't force them to pay for it. Just take a look at any oil company and what they do in third-world countries. And every other company isn't better just under stricter regulations. Without the government supporting the necessary work there is no way to do 90% of it.
3 fatcobra7 2016-10-09
Which is why over burdening American companies with regulations is counterproductive. They move to one of these 3rd world countries and crank up the smog production by 3000%
2 0vl223 2016-10-09
Force regulations on countries that want to import is a way better way. If they produce for the western market they either have to follow the regulations worldwide or face tariffs.
The solution for too few regulations is not less regulations. And most won't come back without higher tariffs or worse regulations than the 3rd world countries. The wages will always be lower there and shipping is extremely cheap.
1 fatcobra7 2016-10-09
That's a simplistic view in my opinion. You can't force regulations on these companies because they have essentially become an integral part of the law making process through lobbying. It's a very difficult situation, and I don't know how to realistically address it.

Hillary voted 2x for the Iraq war. She's gone into Libya and Syria and now we're selling arms to the Saudi's and helping them bomb Yemen. We are fighting with Al Queda and helping them in Syria. We allowed ISIS to get billions worth of arms and equipment. Obama won't tell us what the hell is up in Syria, what the F we are doing there, and what our objective is. He's droned so many families that we have guaranteed conflict for the next generation. Hillary and Obama's (and Bush's) actions in the Middle East have led to this massive refugee crisis which is doing SIGNIFICANT harm to all sides. Status quo is a load of shit.

Everyone voted for the Iraq War except for a handful of people in Congress. Because Bush and Cheney sold lies to the public and to Congress.
We are in the Middle East because of Bush, but we've also been there since far before Bush. To blame any of this on Clinton or Obama is reaching. The only way Obama/Clinton could have avoided you blaming them for this, is for them to have withdrawn completely from the Middle East and not taken any actions whatsoever.
Which is actually what I think should happen, but no reasonable US government will, because it would majorly fuck things up in the short term.
Edit: I apologize; I forgot this sub isn't for genuine discussion. Hillary for Prison 2016! Am I doing /r/conspiracy right?
4 ShadowedSpoon 2016-10-09
Except for a handful of people??? Why didn't they vote for it? Were they mistaken somehow? Or did they know that Presidents (except Kennedy) are always lying us into wars?
All Hillary does is lie. As Secretary of State, all she did was covert arms dealing and operations in the Middle East - which Bush had no part in, including the Benghazi disaster - which she subsequently lied about.
Yeah, Bush and others started it. But that's a childish argument. Obama likes to drone because he thinks it's intelligent and cool, not the cowboy way to do things. He has done all sorts of covert things throughout Syria. But he explains none of this to us. He agreed to an arms deal with the Saudi's and is helping them bomb Yemen! And Hillary is a warmonger that would make any neocon proud. And he made her his Secretary of State.
And neocons are virtually en masse supporting Hillary. Google it. Ask yourself why (and give yourself an honest answer). Now she's messing with Russia. WHY??? Gotta have an enemy. Gotta have a reason for imperial overreach. She was on the Armed Services subcommittee from 2003-09.
I'm not a fan of Bush or Trump, and Bush lied and made huge errors. But to say that Hillary isn't a liar and warmonger is BS.

One of the first DNC emails Guccifer 2.0 leaked outlined their strategy to undermine the strongest republican candidate and prop up the weakest candidate. This was the same email that many people pointed to, that they said proved that the DNC was for Clinton all along. I am having trouble finding the imgur link though. The Bernie thing was probably a distraction from what the DNC really didn't want you to figure out.
This strategy has been wildly successful and it has been really frustrating to watch.
4 Apollo_Screed 2016-10-09
Yep - and it makes sense. It's game theory. Clinton has been prepping for this moment for decades. She was thrown for a loop when Obama (who ran a transformative campaign, regardless of how you feel about his administration) beat her in 2008 and likely realized this was her last chance to become President and - given there was a weak field of candidates for the GOP and an increasingly divided electorate between alt-right, religious right, old school businesses guys, etc. - backed the weakest horse in that race. If I were a GOP voter I'd be livid that the hustle worked so well.
I don't know if Trump is working FOR Clinton. Likely he has his own aims (Trump News Network, IMO) but he didn't imagine he'd be this successful. Now he has no choice but to run - which is why you hear that he offered Kasich the VP nod promising the responsibilities of President without the title.

The Bernie thing was probably a distraction from what the DNC really didn't want you to figure out.
This strategy has been wildly successful and it has been really frustrating to watch.
The DNC controlled media propped up Trump, holding back all the controversy until it was too late to choose another candidate.
I would be really grateful if someone could find this original email.

Indeed. And if the stories are correct, Trump even had meeting with Bill and Hillary right before he announced that he was running.

Can I ask... what in the debate was said by trump that makes you so convinced that trump is out of his mind only there to give Hillary the election?
1 orthocanna 2016-10-09
What kind of a question is that? You'll find i wrote that comment before the debate. Plus, i honestly didn't watch it.

I've been telling people this whole election that trump endorsed Hillary and gave her campaign funds in 08. They are friends. I could see him rising to the top, taking the Republican nom, and then making an ass out of himself to help his very wealthy friend that would surely compensate him for it. After she wins and time down the road in an interview I bet you will hear him say that Hillary was better prepared and most fit to hold office and the right person won the election. He will go back to being her friend publicly. This whole election process has just been a way to squeeze her in because she can't win any other way
9 chryskross 2016-10-09
Since we're talking theory here, I don't think he was actually meant to win the primary. He was just supposed to get enough support that when anyone else running won, he was supposed to cast off as an independent and draw enough voters away from the Republican nominee to guarantee a Clinton victory. He was supposed to split the party votes in the general. I think both Trump and Clinton were both surprised that he took the primary and had to adjust accordingly.

I can subscribe to that.

Their friendship goes back for decades and includes Bill as well as their children. It is hardly even speculation.

I have been saying this for months! With how clearly unprepared Trump is in terms of policy and governmental understanding, coupled with the inflammatory remarks he comes out with on a daily basis, I have wondered just how much HRC has shelled out to Trump to hand her the election.
1 adamdesautel 2016-10-09
With how polarized the voting public is, it doesn't even matter if he is trying to throw the election. Conservatives will vote Republican, and liberals will vote Democrat. There is no compromise, and no centrism.
1 possiblebraindamage 2016-10-09
and if you really believed it, then you should be voting for trump and encouraging everyone else to do so in order to undermine her. But you're not. instead you are just trying to cause dissent, gee, wonder why.

The Clinton's and Trump do go like 30 years back. I'm surprised with all the leaks no ones found something like Trump donating to the Clinton Foundation, or the Clinton's donating to Trump U. Or maybe a tape from a Jeffrey Epstein party where Bill and Trump are Eiffel Towering some 12 year old girl.
But maybe they've never been that 'close' and were just tolerating each other up until this election cycle, and they finally took the gloves off. Who knows? Assumption is the mother of all mistakes...

The president can steer the conversation and the congress can enact the policy. We are looking at a political system that is actually resisting the peoples ability to steer that conversation and the president to enact policies to screw over those same people.
We are looking at a political coupe where none of the party nominees is accepted by the people representing them. That is the issue and why this shitshow is so heated.

19 ObliviousIrrelevance 2016-10-09
Thing is that he has gone 72 hours with staying on message and not shooting himself in the foot with saying dumb things. The Clinton campaign had this recent 10+ year old footage in archive just waiting for something big to come out against Hillary so they could feed and maintain focus on Trump.
101 faithle55 2016-10-09
Even if that is true, isn't it exactly what any campaign would do? What would be the criticism? 'You should have released it earlier when it would not have been so damaging for your opponent'?

No criticism here. It is a smart move, of course. They knew shit would hit the fan and they need things like this to deflect attention from some pretty damning wikileaks.

This isn't news. They could at least hammer him on a REAL issue like his lack of plans, the infeasibility of the others he has, but instead they give us this mentally insulting trash and people eat it up!
42 JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2016-10-09
Because they're smart enough to know that voters don't give a shit about policy plans.
4 Jomenation 2016-10-09
To be fair, there has been a lot said about his lack of plans and the infeasibility of the ones he does produce. The problem is Trump knows he would get ripped to shreds if people argued against his lack of plans so he sees it as being less harmful to have people think he's an asshole than to think he's and idiot. That is why he floods the media with this shit that he spews. 90% of the time it is him trying to distract from his lack of capability to actually run a country and would rather the conversation be about his imflammatory nature so that he can write it off as campaign mud slinging rather than actual political vetting. The other 10% of the time it is well timed shit posting by Clinton campaign or media that realizes he cannot be president.
That's where trumps actually quite successful in this campaign, is his gamble on the asshole vs idiot dilemma. He has built a solid base that actually likes that he is an asshole and anything he says will just further endear them to him. The problem is, it's successful enough to win him the nomination but not enough to win the election. Because the percentage of people who like that he's an asshole is like 25-30% then he gets another 15% who are party loyalists/"Hillary is the devil"ists and that's his ceiling. The reason he can't go higher than that is because that gamble on the asshole vs idiot has back fired with the other 55-60% of us who ended up seeing him as not just one or the other, but as both an asshole and an idiot. The reason the election is close is because not all 55-60% that sees trump as unfit, is willing to vote for Hillary.
Sorry if any of that didn't make sense, I'm half asleep and ranting. Not necessarily trying to take a stance for one candidate or the other, even though it's probably clear. I just wanted to make a point that people have tried to report on his lack of ability to run our country, but trump has successfully changed the conversation to something he sees as less harmful, with a little help from Clinton and the media.

Oh, so what you're saying is I personally think that there are better ways of separating Trump from a lot of his supporters and so I'm going to criticise the Clinton campaign team - all god knows how many of them with all their combined experience and expertise and 24/7 attention to the situation - for doing otherwise than as I approve.

1 faithle55 2016-10-09
Do try to pay attention. The 'it' in "even if that is true" is the allegation that the Clinton campaign had the clip and kept it under wraps until the perfect time.
1 swohio 2016-10-09
The Bushes have been against Trump this whole time. They know that not publicly endorsing him helps Hillary, aka they've already been helping her. That's why it's not difficult to come to the conclusion that it is in fact true that they've had that tape a while. Maybe you should pay a little more attention yourself.
-1 faithle55 2016-10-09
It's entirely possible that other people - even you - know more about this than me.
However, you didn't seem to be able to pay attention to this very thread - what does that say about you? And you theories?
Edit: for avoidance of doubt, pulling shit out of your ass doesn't even count as a conspiracy theory. Some things are not even coincidences, but just happenstance. Come back when you have a shred of evidence that the Bush family are helping Hillary and that Billy Bush produced the tape as part of that effort.
1 swohio 2016-10-09
The Bushes publicly saying "Don't vote for Trump" is clearly saying they would rather Hillary win. There's no conspiracy about that, it's just common fucking sense. I guess it is my fault for assuming you had even the most basic of logic though.

2 faithle55 2016-10-09
FTFY.
I don't know what to say to you; politics is a game of strategy. My thesis would be that the entire Democratic party - including the campaign team - is repelled by Trump. One new piece of information isn't going change much. But releasing it a week after you get it, to maximise the damage - that seems to me to be smart and perfectly ethical campaign management.
Plus, of course, it's only the most strenuous of speculation that i) the team has anything to do with it and ii) if they did, that they didn't release it at the earliest practical point.
12 DrunkAtChurch 2016-10-09
That's the thing with most conspiracy theories, I don't necessarily doubt any of them, I just don't believe all of them. But your suggestion doesn't seem too far fetched.
72 Dbl_S 2016-10-09
It's actually the other way around.
The Trump story leaked first and was followed by the Wikileaks email dump. Maybe the real conspiracy is that Assange tried to reduce the damage on Trump?
4 JCandle 2016-10-09
It is disappointing that Wikileaks has exclusively tried attacking Clinton. I understand why Assange has a personal vandetta against her but It should be an unbiased source for information we normally wouldn't get. The video released on Trump should have been from Wikileaks.
14 Bebop24trigun 2016-10-09
The whole deal with wiki leaks is releasing unknown government information. As much as you can hate the guy, his 10 year old video is not related to the beaurocracy.

He is targeting one presidential candidate for past indiscretions but not the other because the other was not part of Politics? They are both presidential candidates, their previous actions have impacts on the government.
3 Bebop24trigun 2016-10-09
His previous inclinations are not within the beaurocracy. If he held an official seat, then it'd be something released. Wiki leaks has said before that they don't like to go through civilian materials unless it pertains to an office holder. This material especially has nothing to do with Wiki leaks like material.

-32 Kilane 2016-10-09
Clinton is behind this regardless of the timeline of events. Clinton obviously would have known ahead of time that Wikileaks was doing something? Therefore, she preempted the email dump so that it never even has that first day in the news cycle.

Do you have any rebuttal to the actual data presented? Perhaps to this part?
"Clinton was one of the most liberal members during her time in the Senate. According to an analysis of roll call votes by Voteview, Clinton’s record was more liberal than 70 percent of Democrats in her final term in the Senate. She was more liberal than 85 percent of all members. Her 2008 rival in the Democratic presidential primary, Barack Obama, was nearby with a record more liberal than 82 percent of all members — he was not more liberal than Clinton."

Clinton is absolutely liberal. If you think Clinton is a conservative, you know literally nothing about politics. I'm confused how you'd even think she's remotely close to conservative? At best she's a moderate liberal. Please explain how she's conservative when all her stances lean left? Sanders was an extremist, Clinton is liberal. You must be knew to politics, which makes sense because this is probably the first election you've paid attention to. It also solidifies how you'll believe anything, when almost all of those links have already been discredited by others.
But yes, it is time to "assassinate your character" (who the fuck says that?) because you're a wannabe edgelord who doesn't actually understand politics, but wants to support the candidate who is "off-the-cuff." At any rate, Donald won't win or even come close, so there's nothing to truly worry about in the long run.

You know that saying " If everyone you meet is an asshole, you're probably the asshole". Yea swap asshole with idiot and that's you bud.
How the fuck do you think clinton is even the slightest bit liberal? Honestly, I'm dumbfounded here. Sanders was the only liberal in the election. You don't like him though so now he's an extremist right? Atleast you CTR shills are consistent with character assassination.
Let me correct the record here. I'm old enough to be your father, I've probably voted in more elections than you've been alive to see. And to cap it all off, you acting like a child who doesn't get his way is certainly not going to sway anyone to vote for hillary.

Hey, leading the middle east into the destabilized shithole it is at the current moment causing thousands to die and breaking campaign finance laws are meaningless 'cause Trump called some lady fat 20 years ago!
1 Commissar_Sae 2016-10-09
Destabilizing the middle east has pretty much been us policy for the last 50 years. I mean, the Iranian revolution had us backing. Iran-iraq war, same deal, Afghanistan vs Soviets, bunch of terrorists in countries we don't support. Backing the Israelis which Pisses everyone else off. Bombing suspected terrorists that are hiding in hospitals... you name it, it's been happening for the last 50 years easy.
That is status quo for US policy in the middle east. Sure Clinton supports it but it's hardly new. And Trump would support it too, because it's what the military industrial complex wants and any president who would act against them wouldn't be around very long.

You millennials have google don't you? There's nothing in that article that can't be checked in other sources.

Not really. The stuff that was ALLOWED to be leaked isn't what she's in trouble for. The problem is she had top secret info that 1 she shouldn't have had 2 is very sensitive information And 3 was stored improperly, in securely, and illegally.

7 jumykn 2016-10-09
Wtf are you talking about? Wikileaks shot its load and it just sort of ended up being a dribble rather than the geyser promised. We're talking about her speeches in which she pretty much advocates single payer health care, calls herself a moderate, and says she needs Wall Street's help to fix Wall Street. Btw, what is an allowed leak? Are you saying that Clinton controls what gets leaked? If that's the case, why leak anything or even intimate that there's something to be leaked?
2 DrunkSatan 2016-10-09
I would like to stay with saying that I'm not trying to argue with you, but i would like to know more of what your are taking about.
From what i understand, the emails are from when she was secretary of state, so I can't imagine there was any information she wasn't supposed to have. And all classified material is sensitive. So what specifically are you referring to with her emails?
I agree with you that they were miss handled.
1 Friendship_or_else 2016-10-09
I thought he was reffering to the speech transcripts. Which from what I've heard are pretty tame. Then again I've also only heard very limited information about it.

My point is that this specific issue has been discussed at length in this subreddit time and time again. This is the reason people are screaming shill in every thread because many of these posters show one way or another that they have no idea of anything in this subreddit

The point isn't to rely on others for that information, but to have the desire to find that information yourself, and for this specific topic - which has been discussed at length, time and time again on this subreddit - it's not very hard to do some light digging.

Google clinton body count. Kind of too coincidental that that many of your contacts commit suicide with 2 different guns. In the back of the head. One guy even killed himself and then stuffed himself in a duffel bag, padlocked it and then got in the bathtub. Lmfao any of us would be sitting on death row due to circumstantial evidence.
2 LukeBabbitt 2016-10-09
It's the worst kind of conspiracy. Somebody makes a wild accusation, people who want it to be true yell about it like it's true. Meanwhile a cursory read on any of the incidents basically boils down to "someone died who knew the Clintons, so obviously they had them assassinated".

Reddit, Inc. (owned by media giant Condé Nast) can censor whatever they choose, freedom of speech doesn't apply. Similarly they can work with their brown-nosing volunteer mods to censure and shadowban individuals, groups, whomever they wish.

1 petedacook 2016-10-09
You mean like the video of him talking about grabbing pussy from 199?
The fact is, reddit is a mirror of the MSM. The MSM, super pacs, and powerful groups are all colluding to dig up as much dirt about Trump as they possibly can.
At the same time, all of hillary's dirt is turned a blind eye to, and the new dirt that continues to float to the surface, well, that's ignored as well.
Can you imagine for one moment if the media came after Hillary the way they have come after Trump? There is videos of hillary laughing about beating down a raped 12 year old girl and defending the sadistic rapist she knew was guilty, videos of her laughing about killing people, ordering deaths, and so much more scandalous information about her that is all being ignored.
Can imagine if the media got a few checks written by the Clinton Foundation, like they did for Trump? Or talked about the conflict of interest with her Foundation, like they have with Trump and his tax returns?
The playing field is not fate, Clinton's got her thumb on the scale, and we are witnessing another Bernie incidence. This time it's Trump.

1 DrunkAtChurch 2016-10-09
As I mentioned in another reply, anything's possible. I wasn't posting to support Clinton, only to explain why people are probably more adamantly opposed to what Trump is doing/saying.
The majority of Americans already see our politicians as corrupt, so what Clinton has done isn't that far of a stretch from what her predecessors have done. E.g. Bush going to war based on what appeared to be lies in hindsight; Obama giving guns to Mexican cartels, and letting the NSA run wildly unchecked even though he ran on a platform of "transparency".
I'd like to think all politicians who commit these types of offenses would receive the same legal consequences as regular citizens.
Unfortunately, that's not how our society works.
1 Eurotrashie 2016-10-09
I agree with you. But the fact that your semi-apologetic post makes it to the top (and is guilded no less - why, I don't know) raises my suspicion that this is driven by shills. Also adding to my suspicions is that we know Clinton employs social propaganda techniques, and Reddit management is heavily supporting her. It is clear that Reddit has itself become a major propaganda tool.

The rational argument to counter this, is trump will do with america, exactly what he has done with trump industries. At the best cost he can negotiate.
Trump industries is a multinational corporation, that is solely ran by Trump's decision making. It has out lasted multiple decades of false and outright criminal trade deals, done working contracts with every nation on the planet, and has likely bailed out america itself, when we were in periods of financial ruin. That is what made the Trump name so Important. He is known for his experience, and ability to buy, trade, and sign when the time is right. Taking as few losses as possible, and sometimes coming back with very little to start over with.
You need to realize that for nearly 2 decades, the clinton obama bush regime bankrupted our nation, and accepted payments for our now cowering positions. Trading our honor and security for condos, and limo's. Cnn is paid off. That is a huge red flag...
If a News agency is openly committing fraud it goes on to show that america is on the verge of complete system failure. That is the effective position our nation is showing abroad. That we as a nation are so corrupt, our media itself is in full swing panic mode trying to "Forcibly" steer an election into "choosing" the Liar that will keep it all together.
We are built and now living on lies. Despicable ones, that those in charge will do anything to keep in the dark. Trump is the one thing showing the world right now how corrupt the world is.
He isn't making himself look like an ass. The media is. Because they themselves are corrupt.
That became obvious when obama repelled the media propaganda act in 2013. (to lie about the fukushima, and libya catastrophies).
ALSO AT FORUM. IT IS OBVIOUS PAID SHILL TOP COMMENTOR IS PAID SHILL BY 1000+KARMA AND GOLD FOR YET ANOTHER PRO HRC VIEW> (HOWEVER). Any sane poster would notice that maybe only 200 people have actually seen this article. (hence every single comment karma being like 12).

Because your first couple paragraphs feel like some type of North Korean folklore propaganda.
"Donald Trump is the single most successful businessman in our nation's history! He has successfully predicted the exact closing number of the Dow, every day for the past 23 years! Mr. Trump once negotiated 7 different business deals, in 7 different timezones, in 7 different languages, at the same time-- all while vacationing on the moon!"

Here's the thing. "Acting presidential" is a myth, one literally created by clinton's campagin team during the 1990s. Politicans are people, they say stupid shit, they do stupid shit. It's only with the advent of mass media invading every facet of our life that it suddenly becomes a big deal for someone to say something that every other american in the country has said at some point in time.
The president is not suppose to be a world leader, or a diplomat. He's not suppose to be some charismatic god-king that brings hope or change. He's not suppose to be someone who knows all or sees all or has all the answers. He's suppose to be the guy nobody likes. The guy that sits alone, reading legislation that the retards in congress have cobbled together and makes sure it doesn't become an actual law it if its too god damn stupid or blatantly against the country's best interests. The celebrity of the office is entirely artificial and frankly, it's unacceptable.

The Soviet Union learned early when it came to spys/moles you never pay them unless you are desperate. Its better if you develop spys who work for free because they support your ideology. They paid very few and only American or Europeans who where in extreme positions of importance would typically get paid.
I really doubt any mod is getting paid they are doing it because they are true believers. Never underestimate the ability of people to sell out their responsibility like modding a forum for no cash at all.
Just a 5 minute phone call from David Brock would get every single left wing mod to do what he wants and it can't be traced if no money changes hands.

51 velcona 2016-10-09
He's done no favors to his cause tho. Can you honestly say he is running a good campaign?
65 kremlin888 2016-10-09
In a conventional sense, no. His main appeal to people up until a couple months ago was his unwillingness to fall into the conventional campaign model.
Initially he was calling out every political figure for what they were, money whores. He flat out said he could buy almost everyone who was running. He started steamrolling the primaries because people are tired of the BS and we're rallying around him.
It's only in the past few months that his handlers have gotten ahold of him and toned him down. It started happening when all the shake ups in his campaign started happening. I'd be willing to bet a bunch of talking heads from the RNC established themselves within his circle and since then he's been floundering.
Going out there and hitting middle of the road talking points is something political legacies like HRC is great at, not Trump. He's allowed himself to be put on the defensive by pandering to the Republican Party and it's biting him in the ass. Instead of saying fuck you to all these people, he bent over for their endorsement and now their jumping ship to make him look week. He does much better as an antiestablishment candidate than one who tries to play the game.
Trump is awash in PC gaffes. There is no denying that. If he had half of the legal and sexual harassment issues HRC has floating around her there is no way he'd still be running.

reminds me of john mcain. He seemed a lot less an asshole till he won the nomination. Then it was just Palin, Pro-Life all of sudden, and hate john stewart, was quite the shift.
4 quantum-mechanic 2016-10-09
McCain was the first real lesson that in modern media, whoever the Republican party nominates will be absolutely eaten up and shat out myriad times between the nomination and November. it doesn't matter at all what they actually think or do.
McCain used to be loved the the mass media. He would go on every show and talk to every reporter and they loved it, largely because he would criticize the Republican party leadership. McCain was also the first guy to bring campaign finance reform to the national stage -- its still a huge issue. But once he got nominated? McCain became this too-old guy who was out-of-touch and probably a racist.
Same thing happened to Romney. In reality though both McCain and Romney were very respectable politicians -- esp. Romney, a republican who was governor of Blue state who overhauled health care for crying out loud! -- but it doesn't matter. They were pilloried. So the lesson is: if you're a Republican, it doesn't really matter what you say or how you say it.

9 noddaLurker 2016-10-09
I'm not for either, but you really can't ignore the difference in the size of their rallies. It really makes you wonder why the numbers are so different on a site like this if their is no fowl play.
11 I_MAKE_USERNAMES 2016-10-09
The people who like Trump are fanatic about him and are way more likely to do something like go to a rally for him, as opposed to HRC who has a majority of people who aren't really crazy about her and would never go to a rally for her, but would still vote for her because of how much they dislike Trump and think he'd be a terrible president. Rally size isn't something you can just compare between candidates as a straight indication of votes. Also, it's "foul play"; fowl play would mean she's playing with chickens or something.
1 Phyltre 2016-10-09
The whole "less evil" marketing that has spun up around Clinton scares me a lot. It's too calculated.

2 Phyltre 2016-10-09
How good or bad Clinton is has nothing to do with Trump. The Democratic party has betrayed the country by nominating her in the forced, coordinated, backwards way that they did. Her support numbers are somewhere around 20% of anyone under 30. She's going to be president simply because status-quo old people (the Baby Boomers who brought up the ladders behind themselves) vote more.
3 I_MAKE_USERNAMES 2016-10-09
No, actually in an election between two people, one of them being a total unlikable piece of shit does kind of matter.
2 Phyltre 2016-10-09
And when both of them are?
3 I_MAKE_USERNAMES 2016-10-09
If you legitimately think that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are both equally bad people and would both be equally awful presidents, then you can vote third party or not vote. But the argument of 'even if Hillary is pretty shitty, Donald Trump would be a million times worse' is absolutely a valid argument to make.

-4 Lysah 2016-10-09
The demographic for this site is 16-24 year old, pot smoking, unemployed, college debt crippled youth. This demographic overwhelmingly votes democrat, upwards of 90%+ of them, and so 90% of this site is people who will defend the left no matter what. It's very easy to think that a site as big as reddit represents a fairly normal piece of society, but it really doesn't. Most of the people here won't even be voting, tons of them aren't even American, and if you ask random strangers in real life if they use reddit 95% of the time they will say "what the fuck is a reddit?" Don't forget statistics and demographics when reading the sewage that is reddit, in no way does this site represent reality at all.
5 Juggz666 2016-10-09
I think you pulled that number out of your ass.
0 Lysah 2016-10-09
Which one? 90%? http://www.politico.com/story/2012/11/study-youth-vote-was-decisive-083510
ONLY a 37 point margin last election among this age group, and that accounts for all youth in the nation - people who habitually use sites like reddit are much more likely to be left leaning than right leaning, as the trend goes for pretty much everywhere on the internet. People who constantly consume social media are more likely to be liberal, and liberals are more likely to constantly consume social media. Did I pull 90% out of my ass? Yeah, absolutely, but the number is much higher than 70%, which is verifiable, we can call it 80% and meet in the middle if it makes you feel better.
Or do you mean the 95%? http://www.pewinternet.org/files/old-media/Files/Reports/2013/PIP_reddit_usage_2013.pdf
6% of people surveyed had ever used reddit at all. That means 94% of people have never used reddit in their lives. And, actually, this survey was conducted on internet users already, so that number is much lower when you account for all the people who do not regularly user the internet (regularly being for hours a day).
If you think this cancer website reflects anything close to reality, well, you are a fool, not much more to say. It is a very, very, very niche group of people.

If he is such a piece of shit, then how did he end up as Hillary's only opposition to getting into the White House?
7 I_MAKE_USERNAMES 2016-10-09
Good question. The primary field running against him, spearheaded by Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and fucking Chris Christy, was very weak and unlikable, and his name recognition and message of "make America great again" appealed to a lot of Republican voters. Now that people have gotten to see him be a piece of shit, his support is dropping.

As if the RINOs haven't been trying to stop him in the first place when he KEPT WINNING! You enjoy the one party system as much as they do. I'm not calling you a shill, but it does seem you genuinely dislike him. Why? Has he not sold enough weapons to nations that kill gays, has he not deleted emails that (oh my) are now showing up showing more what kind of person is/isn't, has he not used a political position to do favours for nations that have a certain religion that explicitly calls for the death of the nonbelievers?!

Donald Trump to my eye is the absurdist of dreams come true for Sen. Clinton. She has fine control over the DNC but was able to get one over on the entire RNC, by getting her buddy Donald to run, and see just how far the collective GOP knuckledragging exercise goes. We see today as Senators and bloggers alike run for political cover from Mr. Trump's latest escapade.
Only now, a few scant days from the eve of the election, is it beginning to dawn on the GOP , that they were outmaneuvered, in that way, such that I am kind of reminded from that scene from Game of Thrones, when the smartest woman in the Great Sept realizes they need to leave, and by then it's far too late, perhaps that's what makes that show so engrossing, because it's' disturbingly relevant sometimes.
0 TheWiredWorld 2016-10-09
Same way Trump posts are in all the places they are. 4chan is just different turf for different shills. Any waking moment there's 3 Trump General threads and 90%+ of the first page is pro Trump. Just shills reinforcing the us vs, them narrative to a specific demographic in their language: memes.

3 steenwear 2016-10-09
Question? But how strict are the mod rules on large subs? do you just add someone when you are a mod? does it have any vetting process?
But I agree, the new leak is not getting traction, but that is the fault of Wikileaks for taking so long to release and a string of questionable and non-starter leaks. Like how the leak that came before which was Guccifer's was nothing, so that when the real release came from Wiki, people cared less. We also have the "bad Russia" narrative that taints everything out there that is released, further muddying the waters.
1 Shitmybad 2016-10-09
It's all because the new leak has nothing incriminating in it. Some people are so desperate for a story painting Hillary in a bad light when really, compared to Trump, she hasn't really done anything wrong.
1 steenwear 2016-10-09
it does have some stuff in there, nothing most informed people didn't know, but regular people, they didn't know these things.
1 Shitmybad 2016-10-09
But compared to what's coming out about Trump, there is no wonder it's buried in comparison. And for good reason too, Trump's debacle is much worse. It's not some conspiracy about post suppression on Reddit, it's just that the up votes from people far outnumber anything people might post about Hillary. Simple.
2 steenwear 2016-10-09

85 XDforlife 2016-10-09
treating him like shit is one thing. its 'modern' politics and ok, yeah you trash the other person. like how hillary started the whole "is obama even born in the US" thing
but manipulating the media and rigging the DNC against sanders so he had 0 chance to win, i dont see how any person in the US, let alone any bernie supporter, can be ok with that kind of underhandedness and someone so undemocratic can be a possible choice for the presidency.
thats not even getting in to how the FBI gave her a free 'get out of jail' card, which reinforces the fact that such a corrupt piece of shit should not be in public office at all
until the retarded public wakes up, and clears ALL the useless career politicians out, republican and democrat, this shit will keep going on. but they don't care, and actually at this point i've pretty much stopped caring as well. the only thing that bothers me now is that people pretend the system is not rigged & corrupt

1 KarmaSaver 2016-10-09
A lot of people feel the same way, they just don't feel like they don't have any agency. What can your average person do to achieve those ends? When you're presented with two options and told to choose one, and that there's no other options and it doesn't matter whether you feel the system shouldn't work like that, it feels like your only option is just to pick one and get it over with. It's not encouraging.
Your average person will make a small stand, see no results, and give up. There's no incentive to be the only person working against the system if you feel your efforts aren't going to resort into anything meaningful. If nobody finds these people and puts them in a group or gives them access to resources and options then they give up and accept the current system as the only option.

What mistakes did you notice him making?
9 LordBridgewater 2016-10-09
Well a big one was ignoring the entire southern United States. It was hard because Clinton has spent a long time building her reputation down here but it seemed like his campaign made a conscious effort to not just not campaign down here but minimize the importance.
Another major one though was the GOTV. While his base might have been more excited, Hillary's campaign did all the little stuff, making sure older voters had their mail in ballots set up was huge.
2 JiveTurkey90 2016-10-09

82 ReginaldLADOO 2016-10-09
The non-conspiracy answer would be that most of Reddit is liberal and supports Democrats to begin with. Yes, Reddit largely ate Hillarys ass out during the primaries, but after the the last few months they've come to the realization that the only choice now is Trump or Hillary. Most of them accept that they have to support Hillary even with all her flaws because the alternative is much worse. Trump makes it easier to support Hillary by the week with all his statements.
This was the number 1 post in /r/politics for a while earlier: Wikileaks Appears To Release Hillary Clinton's Paid Speech Transcripts So I don't know what the OP is talking about.
17 Astrrum 2016-10-09
All the top comments were talking about how saintly Hilary is. Did you even bother to look? People have forgotten that if you compare almost anybody to trump, they look better. As a result, people have become fervent Hilary supporters. Wait until she's elected, when that orange menace is out of the picture, everybody will realize how shitty she actually is.

Mathematically it doesn't work out that way, 3rd party vote will always help the party you least align with in our our current system.
Also I don't believe there are any other viable parties to vote for in this election, they all suck.
2 haragoshi 2016-10-09
Not true. Mathematically, your vote almost never matters.
Only in the edge cases like in Florida 2000 would your vote remotely matter, and even then your vote can be reduced to a counting error. In the grand scheme of things, it's better to vote with your principles rather than trying to game the system.

But he's said that even if he thinks to go one way. If the public has different opinions he will vote by public opinion.

No people don't like the fact that Hilary changed her stance based on who she talks to.
He is open about his opinion. But he's willing to vote against his opinion if it's the will of the people.

He is the exact fucking opposite of Bernie, if you switched from Bernie to Johnson you would have to either know nothing or stand for nothing

No it's not. It's going from voting for a democratic socialist to a right wing libertarian. Otherwise known as a complete 180. I hate how people think Johnson is similar to Sanders cause he supports recreational marijuana.

I don't usually go on Reddit for my politics needs but oh my god I just scrolled through weeks of posts in /r/politics and I didn't find one post that was pro-Trump or anti-Hillary. As an undecided voter, it's this disgusting type of bias that most media outlets show that's pushing me so far from Hillary. How do people rip on trump when this woman is trying bring Bill back into the White House where he cheated on her so many times a few decades ago? Like I said, I'm not a trump supporter, as of now, but this is getting ridiculous.

Because it points out the obvious that even with his baggage, she is a woman who could not have achieved her goals without a man in her life.
IF she didn't 'need' him to hustle speaking funds and do dirty deeds, she would have rightfully canned his ass.
That she hasn't, indicates she can't be an effective leader without Bill in the WH.
She is the embodiment of a sexist situation. She is not standing by her man, she is leaning on him.
-7 Topspy 2016-10-09
"bring back Bill to the white house?" She is trying to get herself into the white house, ans since Bill is her husband, yep, he will come too. Doesn't put him in power. He cheated on her? Yes. Why does that reflect on her ambition or career? And the reason you don't see any pro-Trump posts is because there aren't many idiots stupid enough to publicly shame themselves, but of course there are always a few.

The First Lady (gentleman?) usually has a strong presence in the public eye, so yes it really does matter that he'll be back in there. And that says so much more about her career than anybody is mentioning. If Hillary is such a strong woman, why in god's name is she still married to that man? It's absolute hypocrisy to think that she's a strong figure and not only married to him still because it helps her own political career somehow, which is just so scummy. Sure, there are some damn idiotic trump supporters but acting like some Hillary supporters aren't as blind as uneducated is just an absolute fallacy.
0 RDay 2016-10-09
My main point about her, at this point. What is she, without Bill by her side?
2 Topspy 2016-10-09
Because she loves him? Indiscretions happen more often than not over the course of a marriage, and most survive. And she can and does stand quite well on her own. You don't see Bill holding her hand during debates, do you? And she tore Trump up like the child he is.

It's not about people who preferred Sanders whle he was still an option. The issue is the lack of coverage/transparency in one direction over the other ever since the candidates were decided for both parties.
There are some major anti-Clinton stories that didn't get posted to r/politics, or at least if they did they got removed or disproportionately down-voted to an extent outlying the normal bell curve.

Also Donald is now funding the BLTT. "Big League Truth Team" that directs people how and when to post on social media.

Honestly, unless a lot of redditors are just sheep it seems fairly obvious how bought the hillary love is. Even with a reasonable mildy anti hillary but still admission that I will vote for hillary post I was downvoted quickly to -15 or so.
Hillary is the best option, but you can see the shills starting to try to make hillary look cool by trying to make hillary memes by losting mfw style things.
We seem to be in the middle of a bit of an attempt to make it seem like she is level headed and not bought. Lots of whitewashing of her character is going on in the past few weeks.
I want her to win over Trump, but unless you are praising her blindly the paid for accounts will downvote or the sheep will downvote. Dissenting opinions on the election are unwelcome on reddit. And this is comong from someone whonhates trump with a passion and is very mich not anti immigration and pro woman.
1 bigmike827 2016-10-09
You have to look at which demographic of redditors favored which candidate. The best litmus test is account age. Most "shill" accounts are less than a year/ 6-months old. Most of the big name S4P contributors and organizers had accounts for years
1 a__technicality 2016-10-09
I was a sanders supporter and I understand how to compromise. Passing liberal policies is clearly much easier under Clinton than trump. Plus, Clinton is actually capable of doing the job.
People keep trying to say "they're both bad" but they are orders of magnitudes different. Hillary will be just as liberal as Obama. I'd like more but I'll take it because I'm not an idiot. In that time I'll also do what I can to get our election process reformed. People hate hearing it, but we all know that voting third party will not change anything except maybe make you feel better at night. Until we get a different election process it's pointless. So for now I'll vote for okay and keep trying to get a system where there's more than two possible parties. To be fair though, I did donate to Johnsons campaign because I actually really respect him and his ability to argue different economic policy reasonably. I don't plan on donating to Clinton.
Unfortunately there were a handful of Bernie supporters that thought it would be one election and done.
1 TheSpaghetti_Monster 2016-10-09
I respect your opinions even if we have different views, but I think if we do not give the third party options a fighting chance, then it will never change. If everybody has the attitude of pushing it off, it will never happen.
It's a bummer for people like us, where neither candidate directly fits our views. I would like a candidate that is more like how this country was founded. One, where the states have more control and the federal government takes the back seat. I don't agree with many federal policies and aid programs because they do not work across the whole country. America is vast and very different from coast to coast. Things like a $15 minimum wage makes sense in New York City or LA, but does it make sense in Eau Claire, WI? In Eau Claire, you can buy a 2 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage, 2 lot house for under $100,000, you couldn't even share an apartment for $100,000 a year in NYC.
I like choice and governments that work for the local people. People always point to Europe as their ideal liberal government state, but all of those countries are smaller than Texas and much more easy to manage due to size.
1 a__technicality 2016-10-09
I don't disagree with that I just disagree on how to best get there. I'd actually like a smaller conservative federal govt and the ability to make New Jersey my big govt liberal paradise and stop sending all of our tax dollars to red states that don't take care of themselves. If I could get Johnson as president and a Sanders type as governor I'd be a happy dude.

That certainly wasn't my experience. I found one post about the leaks and I had to scroll a bit. Meanwhile, Reddit was dominated by a bunch of posts about the same Trump story.
36 thrownawayzs 2016-10-09
So you're confirming that a less exciting story was nearly on the front page, while a more exciting story had more attention. Color me surprises.
1 Bman0921 2016-10-09
No I'm saying that a very newsworthy post was being buried.
15 thrownawayzs 2016-10-09
But it wasn't? I saw it on the first few pages on reddit. Hell, i have /r/politics blocked and i still saw it.
5 Bman0921 2016-10-09
When I went to /r/politics it was buried. Only 1 story about the leaks and the rest were anti Trump.
2 thrownawayzs 2016-10-09
You're probably right about that. Since I've had it blocked I can't say for sure. But I don't know if there's really a conspiracy here in this case. I just think people hate Trump more than people hate Clinton. It's like the dumbest pissing contest in history, lol.

Yes but we were talking about /r/politics. It's noteworthy because that is a huge political story and it was buried in the politics sub.

No, we were/are talking about the frontpage. "Not one story about Clinton's leaked emails and her paid speeches made it to the front page of reddit today. This website is rife with censorship and paid shills."

-13 MartinMan2213 2016-10-09
Top post over there right now is something along the lines of "clintons emails are what we expected, boring" when they're totally not. And then the top comments are about how people switched from Bernie to Hillary. Ridiculous.
25 The3rdWorld 2016-10-09
they kinda are boring though, no one has even found anything worth talking about - none of the threads about them i've seen on reddit or off have had any even slightly interesting links to emails, i mean honestly can you find a single one of these newest emails to link me to that isn't boring?
-2 vanillathunder420 2016-10-09
What about the illegal coordination with her Super PAC? And her private and public opinions? And her only holding Wall Street accountable for political reasons? And the fact that she wants all open borders and all free, open trade? Or what about her complaining about her failed foreign policy as SoS with wasted resources and training just for all the soldiers they trained to defect with all their weapons? Or about knowledge of weapons going to Hezbollah? Or about her coordinating attacks and working with media networks to write smear stories on Bernie Sanders? Or how she wants to hold guns and other weapons manufacturers accountable and legally responsible for any injuries/death involved with said weapons? Etc, etc.. maybe it's just me, but I certainly didn't find these latest leaks to be boring
1 The3rdWorld 2016-10-09
so are there any actual links to emails in the recent batch that ho any way to proving any of the things you've mentioned? do you have those links and can you provide them here for us to see for ourselves?
2 vanillathunder420 2016-10-09
Sure thing, buddy! Give me a few to find a superlink or copy pasta for ya.
2 vanillathunder420 2016-10-09
Okay, so I said I would find you that copypasta that had everything from the most recent leaks broken down, categorized, and hyperlinked but I'm having a little bit of trouble tracking it down seeing as I don't remember which thread it was on. It's 6am where I'm at and I haven't gone to sleep yet and NFL Sunday starts in 6 hours so I need to call it a night. I promise to track down that comment as soon as I wake up and if I can't find it then I promise to make my own for you! For now, if you really are curious I would go to r/DNCLeaks and I'd look at either the megathread or I'd go through recent and top posts because they're all labeled and have direct links to the emails there! But like I said for now it is time for rest. I apologize for letting you down for the time being but I promise to be back with everything as soon as I wake up!

does she actually say those things though? does she say anything that a normal person would find shocking? do you have links?
3 AHPwerewyatt 2016-10-09
No, they really are just the same old shit everyone knew. Like it's not fucking shocking that a corporately owned establishment politician said things that Wall Street wanted to hear in a fucking paid speech to Wall Street. Everyone already thinks she's a shill.
And as much as Trumptards try to blow it off the reason this audio release from Trump is so shocking is that it explicitly jumps another level: from just saying things about women's bodies to admitting to kissing and touching women "by the pussy" without their permission. "When you're a star they let you." I.E. a presidential candidate bragging about getting away with sexual assault.
When a tape leaks of Hillary Clinton gleefully bragging to some celebrity about how easy it was to delete her emails so all the stupid plebs would never know how secretly evil she is, then you'll have a case if it doesn't dominate the news cycle. But until then it's just more Trump supporter bullshit.
-1 TidyBastard 2016-10-09
It looks like the shills are out in force now. The talking points seem to be "The leaks are boring, front page means nothing etc."
42 Lysah 2016-10-09
There were over 2000 emails in the leak, sites like HuffPo and Buzzfeed cherry picked 12 or so of them and then wrote crafty articles implying that that was all there was to the leak. If you only read the emails that the media gave to you and didn't bother to look up the rest, how can you say they were underwhelmingly tame? The articles posted in /politics were carefully written and chosen exactly because they made the leaks look underwhelming.
21 dedicated2fitness 2016-10-09
source me on an email that was "interesting" please
42 Lysah 2016-10-09
Depends on what you find interesting. If you don't care at all that Hillary flat out lies to the public when telling us what she will do as president, only to promise wall street something entirely different in private, then yes, buzzfeed/huffpo pretty much covered those things already. What they fail to mention is that the leak included more than just her paid speech transcripts, and as the leak itself is titled, are more about what a piece of shit Podesta is in general.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-08/podesta-files-show-illegal-coordination-david-brock-super-pac That's a decent enough summary of one of the most popular emails. The only thing preventing Podesta from being in jail right is the timing of this email, though he will still be in court over this. Is this going to get Hillary arrested, herself? Of course not, she is far too intelligent to do any of the dirty work herself. She uses minions like Podesta and Schultz to do the illegal shit so none of it can be directly pinned on her. It's how she got this far to begin with.
The culmination of this impending lawsuit on Podesta is not being discussed anywhere that I have seen, except in the far right leaning media channels that are pretty much banned universally on reddit except for in the_donald. I haven't read the rest of the emails myself, I couldn't care less honestly because I'm not voting for her anyway. But to pretend sites like Huffington Post and Buzzfeed are fair and balanced in their reporting of anything that could make Hillary look bad is hilarious. The fact that Buzzfeed is the article that /politics chose to upvote to the top is the biggest joke of 2016 and a great indication of just how far reddit has fallen. A website that exists simply to churn out clickbait garbage content for ad money is now a legitimate source of news, well done.
Oh, also, this was 2000 of supposedly over 50,000 (that's not even 5%) emails they have, and many articles I have seen have implied that this was the whole leak and it was the end of wikileaks involvement with Hillary. Combined with the convenient timing of an 11 year old recording of Trump talking shit, it seems that they very much want everyone to stop looking, which should be interesting enough on its own.
3 postonrddt 2016-10-09
As long as the msm doesn't even mention the facts in the story anyone who does report so much as facts ie names, dates and the act/news they are considered shills. They have been trying to turn alternative news media into the magazine rack at the supermarket check out aisle for years.

74 iAmASexualPredator 2016-10-09
"Wikileaks themselves highlighted emails related to the “Uranium One Deal,” where Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, signed away significant amounts, one-fifth, of US Uranium resources to Russia. Following the deal, millions of dollars were donated to the Clinton Foundation from individuals directly connected to the deal, including the Chairman of Uranium One, Ian Telfer"
To quote directly from Clinton’s words: “If everybody’s watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.”

I'd say it's downright fucking treasonous.

It's not bad because something like nine other agencies signed off on the deal. So what was the benefit to them?
-1 animebop 2016-10-09
A ton of people had to sign off on that deal.
-3 soundsaboutWRIGHT 2016-10-09
When I visit my parents I'm much tamer and reserved. It's not a bad thing. Everyone is looking to absolutely devour her. Take trump for example, he fucked his campaign up with the shit that he said in public. And now in private. Maybe he should've had a different public appearance if he wanted to become president. He's gonna be the same guy behind closed doors, and that's his prerogative, but you gotta be tamer in public.
-7 [deleted] 2016-10-09
That sounds like perfectly reasonable advice. She's just saying that people are getting nervous about these callous banks and their backroom dealings, and while banking will always be an industry of cut throats, the banks really need to put a better public face on it.
Sounds pretty diplomatic to me. I mean compared to "grab her by the pussy", her speech was downright presidential.
5 hightrix 2016-10-09
So you just completely ignore the donation for the uranium deal. Sounds about right for a typical Clinton supporter on this site.
0 [deleted] 2016-10-09
Didn't say anything of the sort, as that wasn't even part of the topic I was replying to. I don't advocate for Clinton, I was simply comparing the two sound bites. Actually, if you look at my comments, I referred to her as a steaming pile of shit earlier today.
Giving banks run of the mill PR advice isn't damning. Trump supporters trying to drum up outrage is futile.
But so is the futility of the "Clinton told the truth" Democratic push. We all know she's crooked.
At the end of the day, you cannot advocate for either without ignoring the vileness of the candidate you picked. So I advocate for neither.
-15 dedicated2fitness 2016-10-09
can still make tons of nukes for 4/5ths of US uranium? also who knows what it was actually for-maybe russia was threatening to go after another one of it's neighbours and a deal was brokered. i want to know why it was done but i can't exactly say it was done for the lulz and the money. feel like someone would say something to such blatant x=y dealings. hillary was secretary of state not gaddafi in disguise, the govt signed off on the deals right?
we don't have the whole picture so we can't comment. also people who talk to each other and are super rich give money to each others charities - color me surprised

-8 dedicated2fitness 2016-10-09
i didn't say shut up, i said we need to ask for more info as to what these deals were actually about not go off on random tangents about hillary selling uranium to the ruskies
8 iAmASexualPredator 2016-10-09
Wasn't much of a tangent. Simply quoted an article. I agree. I would love to know more but until then I will remain skeptical of her motives as she is basically the definition of a career politician and said herself that she needs to have a public opinion and private opinion to keep public happy.

tired of this naive story... it is pretend nuance from a show for teens. as if we are voting for the individuals, as if downballot votes are meaningless, as if the republicans are equally bad for the average person, as if hillary and trump can be compared in terms of experience in government... look at who suppresses votes of blacks, of the poor, and look who takes their sides. Let's accept that Hillary is the fake, the fraud, the lie that everyone believes she is, and that her cabinet and every staffer under her is in on this fraud, that she's bloodthirsty and trump is the true isolationist he isn't, and let's assume that everything people want to believe about her is true. voting democrat is still a step in a better direction. we won't have bernie now, maybe a bernie next time. possibly depending on where you live all the downballot folks are much more bernie than they are hillary. even granted all these unreasonable and untrue arguments, unless you are a god damned millionaire you are a fucking moron to vote anyone but democrat.

His policy is that blacks should hate whites and that it is illegal for whites to defend themselves against blacks trying to murder them.
That's why he tasked the DOJ to make damned sure that any white that defends against black assault has their lives ruined. See Zimmerman, that cop in Ferguson that now can't get a job at Walmart because he defended himself against a black man punching him in the face while trying to take his gun.
The official stance is that a white being beaten by a black should just take it and hope to not die or be maimed for life. If not they get a civil rights suit and a media lynching making sure they never work again.

-1 primes23711 2016-10-09
Millions. It's illegal to hire whites in the proportion they merit.
For instance fire fighters in NYC. Merit based testing lead to 80%+ whites. Then they changed the test to pass/fail so easy that 98% pass so that they could discriminate against whites by looking at personal qualities not involving stuff like knowing what saw to use on a metal door.
-2 weiss27md 2016-10-09
Just saying 'reverse racism' is an attack. He's basically telling the whole world that white people invented racism. Plus FBI stats show wether you're white or black, you're much more likely to be killed by a black person than any other race.
-2 velcona 2016-10-09
No it shows your more likely to be killed by your own races since most races stay together.
-4 FavoriteCentaurMoe 2016-10-09
Well the modern use of the word racism usually refers to white racism. In the olden days people were more xenophobic, hating anyone who wasn't from their country even if they looked similar. Like Japan vs Korean or England vs France. Basically everyone though that everyone not from their country sucked. But when europeans discovered America and explored Africa there was such a huge gap in stuff like scinece and technology that they actually thought that other races were inferior. Like it was the educated scientists who first believed this.
But that's besides the point. Even if Obama made untrue statements I don't think it would have a significant effect on race relations. His words aren't that important.

Anyone with half a brain would know not to counter with that. He's known about this attack for a while. He acts like he didn't expect it coming, like he has no counter-argument to the most played out scandal against him. If you had prepared to debate in front of the nation, wouldn't you prepare a number of arguments why you wouldn't display your taxes to the world? Would you say "I don't pay taxes and that makes me smart" when people are pissed about the idea that he doesn't pay taxes?? Anyone would have told him ahead of time a million better ways to counter that.

70 deepsoulfunk 2016-10-09
No, they covered it multiple times, especially FOX, who seemed particularly dedicated to hurricane footage last night while everyone else was talking about Trump's announcement. I mean they didn't even break to mention it, but that Network is built around promoting conservative views. However Hillary's stuff just isn't that damning. Sanders of all people hasn't withdrawn his support and meanwhile Trump is hemmoraging endorsements on top of already painful post debate slump. What's more women represent 53% of the electorate.
The leaks show Hillary as contradictory on some stances and even more crucially point toward her being OK with saying one thing and doing another, but it's nothing all that new, and merely reinforces a bunch of already well trod talking points about her weaknesses.
Trump on the other hand is in a situation where many top GOP officials can no longer support him and hope to win their races. We're looking at a major schism forming in one half of the American political labdscape. Established politicians who normally fall into line at election time are actually calling for him to step down with 30 days left until election time, which is utterly unprecedented in modern presidential politics. Compare that to a politician giving different messages to different groups and tell me why that's the more important story. Nothing destroys a politician in America like a sex scandal, and this one hits all of the right buttons for Americans.

This is the thing that bothers me about this though. Both of these things are already showing us stuff we know. One is undeniable proof that Trump is a scumbag... except we've already known this. We've known it since we've known Trump existed that he's a scumbag. This is nothing new.
We have pretty solid proof that Clinton is not going to keep her word on anything because her positions are not what she says they are and she will lie and cheat and say anything to get what she wants and it's all meaningless. We already knew this too though.
We already know these are both completely fucking terrible people to try and put into this job and there were so many better options. Why the hell isn't that the story here?

Actually fivethirtyeight has an interesting theory on this.
"Writing about what makes political scandals stick in 2008, my colleague Nate Silver pointed out that the most potent scandals reinforce a “core negative perception about the candidate, particularly one that had henceforth been difficult to articulate” — but not a perception that’s already received so much coverage that “little further damage can be done.”
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/will-the-trump-tape-have-a-bigger-effect-on-the-race-than-past-controversies/
I think Trump's flaws haven't been particularly difficult to articulate, however the big difference between his remarks to Fiorina at the debate, his history on Howard Stern, his row with Megyn Kelly and others is the candor of the hot mic. The particularly graphic word choice certainly can't help either, but for once he's pinned and can't easily explain away his mistake.
The stuff about Clinton, by ckmparison, is more of the same. Not that she has any good explanations for the email server. I think the right may have shot themseoves in the foot here strategically by hitting her so relentlessly over this throughout the campaign. If it hadn't been so well covered this might seem more like a bombshell, at least going by Silver's theory.

The schism already happened friendo. The tea part was organic at one point but became heavily infiltrated and co-opted much the same way Occupy Wall Street. They have honed that down to a science. They infiltrate sometimes at conception.
This is a way of thinking about it: you know how the global chess game in the middle east right now has involved them via fake grass roots "revolution" (Arab Spring, hello), uprooting governments, making entire regions unstable and thrusting them into chaos, only to also back forces in the power vacuum that ensues?
The Republican party has been no different. They started a schism, co-opted and/created any organic reactions in the growing power vacuum, and now sponsor the engineered dialectic coming back out of it. They are completely reshaping and restructuring culture and society.
2 deepsoulfunk 2016-10-09
Well it is interesting to consider. Tim Weiner who has covered the U.S. Intelligence Community for over 20 years with the New York Times wrote one of the better researched histories of the CIA, "Legacy of Ashes". In that you can see one of the tried and true tactics for pushing any national agenda is to find the people in the country who support your ideas and either openly or covertly support them with money, weapons, intelligence, and sometimes a little nudge in the right direction.
This is pretty well documented throughout U.S. history. In Afghanistan in the 80's we had a vested interest in keeping the Russians out and were able to arm the Mujahadeen (and specifically Osama Bin Laden) at unprecedented levels. Believe it or not there were some ethics involved here. The CIA had trouble getting the OK for this plan until it was confirmed that the Mujahadeen weren't being pushed in front of the Russians as U.S. cannon fodder. Once they confirmed that with or without CIA support Osama and his buddies would be taking on the Russians, then it no longer seemed too Machiavellian to provide them with better equipment. Of course we all know what happened only a few decades later, and soon it was us, not the Russians invading Afghanistan where began a pattern of arming and funding the Northern Alliance rebels.
I was actually watching a lecture on C-Span today where in the Q&A they covered this very topic. (Amazing lecture btw, by this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Extremism-America-George-Michael/dp/0813044979). He pointed out that there are some Russian white sepratists who have been endorsed by Putin (whose government you'll recall has now been formally accused of meddling in U.S. elections with hacking and cyberattacks), who advocate a global alliance of sorts among various disaffected groups on the political fringe. Indeed, I have heard of Palestinian freedom fighters being in contact with BLM activists, and let's not forget Al Quaeda has an English language magazine to say nothing of the sophisticated media arm of ISIS. Heck, even Russia has RT and SputnikNews which are funded and run by the Russian state and which Putin humself has even said cannot help but taking on the Russian perspective. The Columbia Journalism review has covered their blatanly biased reporting too.
1 TheWiredWorld 2016-10-09
That is very interesting considering BLM and ISIS are both psy-ops.
1 deepsoulfunk 2016-10-09
It's probably a mix at best. It's a lot more costly and difficult for a nation to create a movement out of thin air. When you fund, arm, etc. a group that's already taking things the direction you want you utilize their resources and dave yourself money and time. The big bonus though is authenticity which is difficult to fake.

Is it possible they get him to drop and Pence steps up. He seems to be in line with whatever agenda gets him power
1 deepsoulfunk 2016-10-09
Well, early access voting has been going for a few weeks now, which was what pushed Obama over the top in a few states last time, so a Pence vote would start at a pretty big disadvantage, however the bait and switch could work in their favor given Clinton's massive unfavorability.

This is what surprises me. People have seen him on TV, he has always been in the media eye. I am not American but even I knew about Trump even before the apprentice.

With Hillary no one can be sure what face she has put on.

1 onemanlan 2016-10-09
It is news! News is whatever gets you watching/reading that gets advertising dollars and viewership. It just so happens that the most recent news is that of Trump making a baffoon of himself before he ever had presidential ambitions. This October surprise is an example why so many politicians strive to keep their appearances clean, regardless of if they are clean, and vet candidates when running for higher office. Your skeletons and even seemingly inconsequential details will be dug up and used against you. It's happening now. That's news. Oh also how republicans who want to survive the post-election environment by bailing on their already reluctant support of Trump is huge news. When has this happened in presidential history?
1 X90210 2016-10-09
If you research Trump, you'll note he has had presidential ambitions long before he had a TV show. Hes waited as long as Hillary, but he opted for a TV personality to give him the brand name rather than direct politics.

-2 vanillathunder420 2016-10-09
The speeches were not the only thing to come out of the leaks, in fact the speeches were hidden deep in the leaks and there was much, much more important news to come out of the leaks. Some of it proving HRC knowingly broke the law again. And there was some interesting bits to come from the speeches - such as her public and private opinions on things, only holding Wall Street accountable for political reasons, holding gun manufacturing companies legally responsible for any crime done with a weapon, wanting all countries to have 100% open borders with free and open trade, etc etc.
Also the only people actually upset about Trump's comments are the same guys busy taking care of their Wife's boyfriend's children.

He carried such classified materials on his unauthorized media when he traveled off-base in Afghanistan and, ultimately, carried those materials back to the United States at the end of his deployment. In the United States, Nishimura continued to maintain the information on unclassified systems in unauthorized locations, and copied the materials onto at least one additional unauthorized and unclassified system."

Comey recommended no charges, just like some cases before-completely unrelated to-Clinton
2 Phyltre 2016-10-09
...
I'm saying what she did was wrong by my standards and basic industry standards. It is impossible to be both a competent leader and ignorant of these standards in 2016. My standards aren't unreasonable, they're the standards I enforced when I worked as a HIPAA security officer. They're the standards applied by that same government. If the company I served did what Clinton did, we would have rightly been fined out of existence by the government.
Ignorance isn't an excuse. And incidentally, judges don't tell people right and wrong. They just make legal decisions. Anyone in the legal field knows that. The law can be completely backwards, spend a few hours in a legislative session and you'll see how.
-1 Acronomicon 2016-10-09

-1 codywestphal534 2016-10-09
Oh wow! You sent WaPo, DailyWire, and PoliticalInsider!
What credible and non-biased sources! Wow!
Regardless of those being laughably bad sources, what does he last link have to do with anything? Every murder case is the exact same? Every speeding ticket had the same circumstances? All crime scene investigations follow the same blueprint? All crimes are identical? Wow, that's all new to me. I guess, given that info, Hillary Clinton and that CIA director couldn't have had any variation on their circumstances, which is why multiple professional investigations couldn't prove anything.
But hey, your 3 non-biased sites are definitely correct, not the many detailed investigations into Hillary that have been cleared by everyone who's not a crazy conspiracy theorist.
1 vanillathunder420 2016-10-09

Because OP and people upvoting this shit thread are bitter about Trump not winning, so they're trying hard to find an explanation.

The whole world hating Trump is a conspiration, and anyone disliking him is in fact a bot or a shill, or even a shillbot !
This is why this sub is shit. Instead of credible and interesting conspiracies, you get this kind of people in denial thinking their bias is proof. "Oh but if I blatantly ignore what proves my logic to be wrong, don't you think this looks strange to you ?" Yep, 100% conspiracy material here.

Other highlights include more evidence that Hillary is colluding with mainstream media sources like the NYT, John Oliver, etc. on what they say about her/Trump, which is something everyone should have known she did already, but nothing is wrong with having more evidence. People should be disgusted but apparently everyone still trusts these media sources to be fair and impartial, so it still needs to be pointed out. As I said in the linked post, I haven't read through all of the emails myself because I honestly do not care, I am merely responding to people in this thread because I have seen the brainwashing machine working magically this weekend due to people's blind faith in sites like Buzzfeed (one of the biggest pieces of shit on the internet) to give them the whole story from a neutral point of view.
Really people should be asking themselves why Buzzfeed was chosen as the article linked in /politics, it's almost like the Hillary campaign knows people have already lost faith in sources like the NYT and decided to go with a new face. Resorting to that garbage to break the news is the most interesting thing about this cycle, shows that the average internet user actually trusts fucking Buzzfeed more than they trust veteran media outlets.

The one where they had someone go through her old speeches to find anything that might bite her in the ass, and the worst he found was Hillary admitting that she's a little out of touch with the lower class, and that sometimes getting shit done in politics involves not saying in public exactly what's happening in private.
3 Lysah 2016-10-09
I mean, you're wrong, but I'm not really arguing about that, I'm arguing about how the articles popular leftist media has spun to talk about this leak have been extremely misleading (big surprise) in order to downplay the significance of the leak.

-1 rootyb 2016-10-09
I haven't actually read any articles about the leak; just the emails themselves. The whole time, I was thinking "wow, she really should have just released all of this months ago", because there is literally nothing scandalous in there.
That's the thing about people claiming how the "leftist media" is always defending Hillary and going after Trump; Hillary keeps getting made-up scandal after made-up scandal thrown at her, and none of it sticks, even when we spend millions on congressional hearings looking for a scandal, despite thirty-plus years in politics.
Trump, on the other hand, has actual scandals piled up in his closet, and the media just ignores them because stories about Trump acting crazy yesterday get more clicks.
That's the real conspiracy in political media; money outweighs any political bias in reporting, every day. They're going to report on what gets clicks and views in a landscape where the news media is becoming more and more irrelevant and they're just desperately trying to hang on.

The funny part to all of this is that you think I got to the leak via a buzzfeed article. I didn't even know buzzfeed had written one. The link I clicked to find them was one with a headline that was very clearly anti-Hillary, acting like these emails would be the ones that finally bury the Hillary campaign. At last!
I though "oh interesting! Let's see what's in here... oh. Uh... k."
I've looked through your comments on this thread, and you haven't posted anything I haven't already read, so either you've read exactly as much as I have, or you read more and didn't find anything more damning than what's being pushed by the media.
If you, a pretty clear anti-Hillary, possibly pro-Trump alarmist didn't find anything remotely scandalous, why should I waste my time by reading all of the emails?
You can tell yourself whatever you want about me, but assuming that everyone that disagrees with you is naive or uninformed is kind of the definition of "having your mind made up", so maybe you shouldn't be throwing stones.
1 Lysah 2016-10-09
I found plenty of scandalous things, but you clearly don't care and don't think that crimes are scandalous, so why are we bothering to have a conversation? Let's go back to crying about Trump saying the P word.

An article from Buzzfeed intentionally cherry picking emails that make Hillary look good, not the actual source of wikileaks itself. There were over 2000 more emails leaked than that article suggested.

That's not how reddit works though, 4 months ago that sub loathed Clinton and it was a Sanders circle jerk all those people came around.

I mean, if there was actually anything good to every day about Trump, /r/politics would probably report on it.
Unfortunately, the only way people can say good things about Trunp is when they're fake and made up, which describes almost every article to ever be posted to The_Donald. Lol.
22 acrazymixedupworld 2016-10-09
The thing is her emails and speeches really didn't have anything that juicy in them (that I've heard of). To the point where I don't understand why she didn't release the speeches to begin with. That's small potatoes in comparison to a candidate who can't go a day without a major headline about a new scandal and was caught talking about trying to fuck a married woman while his new wife was pregnant. He is running as a Republican, a party whose entire platforms surface is all about Christian family values. Trump literally said he was so famous he could get away with grabbing pussy and kissing women without their consent. The fact that it got more media coverage is not a conspiracy, in this case it's appropriate.

She didn't release them because she learned from Obama and the birthers that you can negotiate with terrorists.
-1 The_Bartlet 2016-10-09
You can watch plenty of her paid speeches on YouTube and they are all really boring and similar. I think she was hoping she could get a "gotcha" moment someone either that or she knew trump loonies would just find a way to spin it regardless of what she says which seems true looking at some ofriends the other comments in this post.
1 acrazymixedupworld 2016-10-09
I completely agree. It's really a no win situation, especially considering how blown out of proportion its gotten. At this point it's a headline to get people's blood boiling. The content doesn't matter, only the reminder that it's a "thing".
20 brave_sc2 2016-10-09
I was thinking the same thing this last week. I'm not particularly for either candidate but /r/politics has become completely for Clinton recently.
Trump has said dodgy things but enough to fill the whole front page with him and none of Clinton's stuff? Clinton stuff that is much more relevant and damaging but none of it is there. A conspiracy indeed

I'm not defending Trump. That stuff has every right to be published and reach the top or /r/politics. But Clinton has had a very questionable email dump and that isn't in sight on their subreddit other than a "clinton email dump is boring" post.
If they're going to call themselves /r/politics they should be neutral in their moderation/censorship. The donald subreddit can post what it wants because when you visit there you know what the bias is. /r/politics presents itself as neutral but, from what i have seen this last month, it is not.

Maybe it's because people are sick of reading the same two hyperbolised stories over and over? As soon as something new and substansive happens it'll shoot to the top, just like it always does. On the other hand, her opponent says or does something insane that'd be grounds for disqualification in any other election (i.e. news-worthy) every other day. Also, does it seem obvious to anybody else that this sub has been co-opted by Republicans? I think you might be right about the paid shills, but you might want to shine your little spotlight elsewhere...

Important information, information that is deeply meaningful to know as a US citizen, can also be "boring." Like how journalism works (or doesn't) in 2016. I'm not sure "boring" is the best descriptor, because things like proofs of anthropogenic climate change are regularly derided as such. Hell, hearing them described as boring so uniformly makes me want to read them more.

/r/politics has resorted to Buzzfeed and TMZ lately for their echo chamber bias. /r/politics is dead and Reddit admins are in on it.
Other than those news sources they are using outed sources where wikileaks published that DNC was colluding with these media sources.
https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/56chjr/this_is_getting_fucking_ridiculous_almost_every/d8ihkoo
This list is pretty accurate but varies on sources links. In a recent resources check the main sites that had reported pulled the article. Also do not use google to fact check Hillary bullshit they are colluding as well.

I read one yesterday on Reddit that was on my front page
8 recklessrider 2016-10-09
I saw multiple posts about it on r/all
8 DoxBox 2016-10-09
That might be because of any combination of the following:
A) People are in general immune to "HILLARY! EMAIL! SCAAAAANDAL!". This is all the result of literally years of Republicans continuing to push a retarded narrative about Hillary's supposed role in the Benghazi attack. Nobody cares anymore. Everybody who isn't unhinged knows she had nothing to do with that. Sorry, but the anti-Hillary crowd has poisoned that well already.
2) Some of the content "leaked" is provably false. Mixed with much that is provably (or at least believably) true. The easiest way to make people disbelieve a source of information is to find one provable falsehood.
3) People constantly push such stories about Clinton that turn out to be complete malarkey. I mean there's literally thousands of people in this sub alone that genuinely believe the Clintons have been having people killed for decades.
4) Networks aren't going to push stories that don't get ratings. Info people aren't going to care about isn't going to get ratings.
5) Trump's campaign has just gone from a train wreck to an industrial train wreck.
I'm not sure why people keep asking this question. "Why isn't Hillary getting the extreme negative coverage I think she should be getting?!" Because the people who hate her have made her bulletproof. I don't particularly care for her either but as her primary opponent is Donald "Grab 'em by the pussy" Trump, it would seem to be an easy choice.

How does every article about Hillary being a horrible person get turned into a trump bashing. Can we just discuss all the bullshit that she has done for once? Go home paid Hillary supporters.
Her charity is all about evading tax dollars and getting into other countries to exploit there natural resources. She has lied over and over and changed her stance every 3 days. She doesn't want to ever be seen by the American people. She has as much ties and more to Russia. She thinks drone bombing people or just plain having them murdered is a solution. She blamed her shortcomings in Benghazi to a video! A video! She lied to the parents face about this. Her husband is twice as deplorable as trump and she has covered up and shamed any woman that went against her. She is all powerful and thinks she can't be touched. With that mindset you do whatever you want. If you think for a second she gives two shits about the American people you are living in a fantasy land. Vote for her and say good bye to American because it won't be here.

Or people are just smarter than that.
You have to admit continuing to whine about Clinton in the face of Trump is ridiculous. I'm amazed /r/conspiracy has been dragged down so far they are just an anti-Hillary arm of the Trump machine.
What is with the "paid speeches"? As though no one else gets paid? It's a pathetic attempt to manufacture outrage, since even Republicans aren't falling for it. Of course she gets paid. You might be born yesterday and not be aware that MOST speeches are paid events, including graduation speeches and speeches given by Republican representatives.
Remember when /r/conspiracy had a certain intelligent edge? Yeah, there was some tinfoil stupidity but you guys weren't led around by a ring in your nose.
Now when the Trumpets say "Hillary" /r/conspiracy jumps like they got goosed. Did he grab your pussies?
I'm embarrassed for you people. You can't even be real conspiracy buffs, you're just another Trump forum.
Man, the Trump folks sure did a great job taking over and ruining a bunch of subs. Fortunately most of them didn't allow it. But you guys did. They had to create uncensorednews because they couldn't take over /r/news.
But you guys rolled over and presented those glistening little minds, just ready to be pumped full of Trump.
Good lord, this is shameful. Nut up and take back your manhood, cucks.

I have no love at all for either of these candidates.
Hillary Clinton is a criminal bought and paid for by private interest. She is duplicitous in nature and holds complete contempt for the people she claims to represent.
Donald Trump is mentally unstable and literally a fascist. He is high on his own self built delusion and wouldn't think twice about tearing up the constitution.

Hell they even make up headlines to fool people. They create multiple subreddits. One was created to report people to the authorities. Accounts are only handful of days old and make it to the front page........ oh wait we're talking about Clinton, maybe that's because people don't find it as interesting as trumps comments or other news. Her emails have been in the news so much that new leaks don't carry the same weight as they used to. Also hasn't some of the e-mails been debunked?

As opposed to r/The_Donald, where you can criticize freely and contribute differing viewpoints without ever getting banned!
Are you delusional, or just retarded? Nobody is censoring you, the majority of the people outside your spam safe space are tired of someone who talks about sexually assaulting women like its nothing. And before you go "but muh Bill Clinton," he's not the one in the fucking race, and he's never been on camera saying he can do anything he wants to women because he's rich and powerful.
You seem to think you're the majority here and that the only reason you see bad things about Trump is because of evil shills who care so much about a relatively niche website who's largest demographics are some of the least likely groups to vote, but it's honestly just people realizing that they hate Trump more than they could possibly dislike Hillary.

I'm not a conspiracy person but I am genuinely curious. Do you think it's possible that the reason Hillary's stuff is not hitting the front page right now is that trumps stuff is so much more horrific at this point in time? Basically a case that the typical crooked politician stuff Hillary does has been been totally outplayed by the lecherous old man groping up women at every opportunity stuff? Both the media and the public are prone to running directly towards the biggest fire and putting it on the Front page.

If Hillary wins by rigging an election, what proof do you have that Trump had more supporters.
They control the media and the web. Facebook, Twitter Google (to some extent)and Reddit and countless news agencies.
People will look on the web and only find information supporting the idea that Hillary was the popular choice.
Example, would love to know what happens when all of you google hillary clinton.
" Hillary has earned nearly every newspaper endorsement of the general election. Here's why:hrc.io/2doDPyY"

Hillary Clinton literally disgusts me.
I don't care if it's par to the course, I don't care about anything about it. I'm still disgusted by her as a person and the people she has and will kill in the Middle East.

Money talks. 4chan is going bankrupt
2 tricerapalin 2016-10-09
Maybe everything these emails reveal about her dishonesty and venality is true and nobody doubts it, denies it or even tries to cover it up in some conspiracy. Maybe people just realize that she's running against a monster and don't want to lob any more grenades at the only thing beating that monster.

This country voted in 'Dubbya Bush' TWICE!!!...a coke snortin, drunk failed businessman with a VERY suspect family tree, and none of that was touted in the media. And yet Trump with his success record and pedigree is being absolutley slandered, doesnt it make an objective person wonder?

2 CasyD 2016-10-09
I did see one earlier that basically said that her speeches were released and it was exactly what she said would be in them the article they linked to was bull shit. I want to say it was world news or something other than this sub which is the only reason I read it because I thought someone had finally caught on to it but it was a white wash. I saw it while I was at work and I can't find it now for the life of me. I looked at the comments and they were things like "I used to be a huge die hard bernie supporter and I hated Hillary Clinton but this makes me trust her so much more now" and "If there was something there to find then the officials would have charged her already" I just about threw up. I had to nope the fuck out. I suppose I should have said something cause then I would actually be able to find it now. It was pretty much shill paradise. Nothing is going to happen with this unless we make it happen.
0 abnormalsyndrome 2016-10-09
Are you disappointed the speeches didn't contain the evidence you were looking for?
1 CasyD 2016-10-09
I wasn't looking for evidence within them there was already more than enough to convict her present and they didn't do anything with it I knew this would just be more of the same. I just read them so that I wouldn't have to hear it second hand. I'm disappointed in our justice system for not taking the evidence already present of her crimes and prosecuting as opposed to the obvious cover up we already got, and I am disappointed that the DNC is being allowed to launder money into Hillary's campaign and keep other candidates from being able to run a fair and just race. I am also disappointed that Hillary is so corrupt she has placed herself above the law. I am disappointed that we are going to have yet another president coming from the same 2 families, which just about conclusively shows me that you can no longer rise to the highest office of the land unless you are born rich and can buy out an election. I don't believe that her opposing candidate is an accident that no one saw coming this is all just a farce to get her elected since the major corporations started buying into her almost a year before this election. More than anything I am just disappointed that America has sunk so low that these are our choices and we have yet to take to the streets to demand change in large enough numbers to actually get it. If you could look at those emails and feel like you trust her more then you did before you are a fool, my hope is most people didn't read them and they don't honestly feel that way.
2 suburban_hyena 2016-10-09
I dunno, man, I can't see a lot of posts about the whole 'grab her by the pussy' and the rape charge, so...
2 daveroo 2016-10-09
Lots of secretary of states and other high ranking officials used private servers for emails- you're part of the Twitter generation who were bombarded that Hilary did it and it was very naughty but had no idea how common it was so just retweeted it to hell
Nearly all top ranking people in politics do paid for speeches. The biggest corporations pay the most. Are you suggesting you wouldn't do it? Why shouldn't Hilary have done it? Again most people in her position do. Most from the bush regime are available for speeches
Again you're from the twitter generation without being condescending. You see a tiny bit of information and you think Hillary is new to all this. She's not
Take a deep breathe. Research. Look into things. Maybe realise that the people bombarding you with "Hilary's done this!!!" Are maybe trying to take advantage of your lack of research
1 secv808 2016-10-09
Were any other politicians allowed to have another witness to the same crime act as their lawyer and sit in an interrogation with them?
1 Phyltre 2016-10-09
Have you ever heard of conflicts of interest, appearance of impropriety, or regulatory capture? Those are three distinct reasons why Clinton is in the wrong and incapable of actually representing the left in this country.
1 daveroo 2016-10-09
I'm not agreeing its correct but the fact of the matter is it happens constantly and everywhere.
But its targeted against Hilary only as its "LOL HILARY IS EVIL!!1" its a complete agenda to discredit her with "crimes" which have been done by most politicians repeatedly.
However the twitter generation are banging their drums and retweeting passionately not knowing this.
It's a manipulation of facts which is ironic as the people do it think theyre fighting this by retweeting all that b/s
2 csFigurez 2016-10-09

I've said before and I'll say it again. There needs to be a great reddit jubilee. All accounts set to zero, all subs scrubbed and de-modded and no defaults! Let the users re-build from scratch. It's high time we strip the power away from those who have hoarded it all to themselves for reason of abuse and propaganda. BTW if you're still subbed to r/news and/or r/politics...you are the problem!!
2 postonrddt 2016-10-09
A variation of the Friday news dump. Hide and attack at the sametime.
The media/public consume stories of the lewd much more aggressively than policy or conflict of interest lets say. Sex sells.
But when the likes of Todd and Maddow declare the election over, two commentators from the same exact network you now what the Trump release about.

1 pikaras 2016-10-09
Yea... Those stories ran their course in January and March respectively. The media isn't going to spend 24/7 talking about year-old news to appease a subsection reddit. We're not talking about Malaysia flight 270. We're not talking about Freddie Gray. We're not talking about Ukraine. We're not talking about Nice.
And before you get up and arms because it's a presidential campaign: We're also not talking about Trumps KKK endorsement, Trump's comments about paying for lawyers if his supporters commit assault, Trump's spat with the Fox news anchor, Trump calling a black supporter "My African", Trump's Kim Jung Un style singing girls, Trump's refusal to pay for said girls, Trump not knowing Russia invaded Ukraine, Trump's horrific chaplain at the convention, The convention's plagiarized speech, or many of the other things trump has done.
This isn't some conspiracy to promote Clinton. This is simply a candidate who is thoughtful and patient when she speaks and as a result, slips a lot less often than Trump. Because of this, she ends up with bad press a lot less often than Trump. If you wanted to see fewer anti-republican posts on the front page, you should have picked one of the other 14 candidates.
1 Zergged 2016-10-09
Grass is green, water is wet, sun is bright, hell is hot.
Reddit is a giant conglomerate of every corner of the internet. A veritable dataminer's wet dream. All this info in one place, near complete anonymity. Pair that with the ability to hide your presence and a large brigade of individuals to trawl for a purpose and you have Reddit's secret police.
If anything Reddit is the best PsyOp tool ever made. Just like Facebook. Each move you make is tracked and publicly available, difficult to make truly private. Public opinion and knowledge has been shaped by things that start here, least of which are just memes.
Pile on top of that "heuristics" that magically create "top comments" via a "voting system" and you can make any thread say anything you want. Then in the comments just pay another brigade to troll or stir the shitpot when something intelligent and critical pops up into discussion that the client does not want talked about.

Or they realize that the leaks were all over the front page yesterday, they just didn't have anything all that interesting.

0 beyondbliss 2016-10-09
The way you are describing it though it should be blatantly obvious and it isn't. I read r/politics daily as well as the other political subs and I'm not seeing what you're claiming. You're saying any criticism of Hillary results in an automatic ban and that's simply not happening. I've seen a few bans of people not abiding by the subs guidelines and even in those cases it was only after several violations.

Pay attention to the kind of supporting comments that Hilary gets. Most of the ones that I've seen start out the same way. "I am a Bernie supporter but..." Or "Hilary isn't my first choice, but I got in line."
It's like the shills love any kind of comment that encourages grudging zupport, either in what they create or what they chose to upvote. Even now, with all the money spent on dominating Reddit, they cannot manage to push the narrative that people actually do like Hilary, and are supporting her for any reason other than Trump.

Measured against a racist, misogynistic, vulgar, loose-mouthed bigot like Trump, Clinton looks very electable. I think the poster below has it when he/she says Clinton lies like a politician, Trump lies like an alcoholic. I can't believe Americans would want to be represented by this man. He would never speak or act for me. The conspiracy is how he got this far and has been taken seriously. It is time for the Republican party to withdraw their backing and give up on this presidential race for a greater good than their own- that of their country and their people.

Buzzfeed is part of NBC and the Daily Beast is owned by a company with Chelsa Clinton on board. Some are plastering the politics board with buzzfeed pieces.
The MSM is now trying to down play third party candidates with more than the usual 'why waste your vote' routine. Not only attacking but creating false narratives like Johnson and Weld in particular have given up and/or are in the tank for Clinton.

0 FriendlessComputer 2016-10-09
This post reeks of it being someone's first election cycle on reddit. Here's how reddit worked in 2008:
Barack Obama announces his canidacy. Internet falls in love with him.
For the entire first half of the primaries /r/politics totally ignores the Republican race and fills the page with positive articles about Obama and attacks on Clinton.
Clinton concedes, and overnight /r/politics returns to non-stop Republican bashing.
In 2012 it pretty much stayed 100% Republican bashing because there was no Democratic primary.
tl;dr Reddit has, and always will be, a Democratic circlejerk. There's no shilling going on, just the basic fact that reddit skews heavily democratic. Please stop with this shill nonsense, and unless you can find users and conclusively prove they are on the payroll of someone (and proof does not inlcude "but they put nothing but pro-Clinton stuff!") sstop.
1 vanillathunder420 2016-10-09
You really think there isn't a huge overwhelming CTR presence on this website now? Because that's not even close to being true.. and multiple users and mods have been identified. There was also a huge amount of support for Ron Paul when he ran, it definitely wasn't all democratic propoganda

14 HillaryBrokeTheLaw 2016-10-09
Yeah, a hemispheric free trade zone (her dream) is real progressive. A no-fly zone over Syria is real progressive. Supporting Simpson-Bowles is real progressive. And now to use a meme from the 90s (in honor of the triangulating politics of Clinton I) NOT!!!.
11 Agastopia 2016-10-09
? Hemispheric free trade like the EU is pretty progressive... There's a reason brexit was by the right and remain was by the left...
10 HillaryBrokeTheLaw 2016-10-09
Really. Free trade is not supported by progressives. Hence Sanders opposition to the TPP. Also the EU is pretty anti-democratic if you would pay attention. None of the bureaucrats in Brussels are actually elected by European peoples. Democracy is the bedrock of progressive politics.
4 Agastopia 2016-10-09
The TPP is different, free trade is a good concept when executed properly but the TPP is just a horrible agreement.

The worst part about it, in my opinion, is that you literally have to go to r/conspiracy to not get thrown in with the_donald posters. Not saying everyone who posts there is crazy, but there are some pretty wild things being written about on both sides of the coin.

I've 'researched' enough to see that Trump is literally the most disgusting waste of a human being I have ever seen outside of a junkie. Lived under Johnson, and both him and Stein are idiots. I'll take a corrupt politician over those 4 any day of the week.
People who buy into this Hillary for prison pro trump bullshit are all bigger idiots than he is, and that's saying something. Call it what it is, she hasn't committed treason, at worst she's guilty of being a corrupt insider politician. So fucking what? They all are. The other 3 being obviously worse candidates despite this is exactly why she is going to win, and should win.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.... Hillary is a disgusting human being, Everything she gets involved in is laced with illegal activity and fed to the public as an ice cream sundae complete with the cherry on top. Sadly, the american people just eat it up and allow her to continue making us all look like begging bottom feeders that are desperate for welfare and a free college education. She should be ashamed of herself and jump off of a bridge. Trump is no Joel Osteen but I like the fact that he is not a politician, I respect his grittiness and his honest straight forward way of telling you like it is. He isnt about "political correctness" and that in my opinion is refreshing. It seems everyone has blinders on when it comes to Hillary, I don't understand it. Seeing how the media is soooo "offended" at what he said over 10 years ago during a conversation between two men is pathetic. He sounds like a normal red blooded dude that you can overhear anywhere nowadays. The naive virgin ears people are pretending to have is a joke. When your offended at words that don't even involve you is only showing your brainwashed mindset. BE BETTER. BE MENTALLY STRONGER. DAMN!!

Let's accept that Hillary is the fake, the fraud, the lie that everyone believes she is, and that her cabinet and every staffer under her is in on this fraud, that she's bloodthirsty and trump is the true isolationist he isn't, and let's assume that everything people want to believe about her is true. voting democrat is still a step in a better direction. we won't have bernie now, maybe a bernie next time. possibly depending on where you live all the downballot folks are much more bernie than they are hillary. even granted all these unreasonable and untrue arguments, unless you are a god damned millionaire you are a fucking moron to vote anyone but democrat.

No, they really are just the same old shit everyone knew. Like it's not fucking shocking that a corporately owned establishment politician said things that Wall Street wanted to hear in a fucking paid speech to Wall Street. Everyone already thinks she's a shill.
And as much as Trumptards try to blow it off the reason this audio release from Trump is so shocking is that it explicitly jumps another level: from just saying things about women's bodies to admitting to kissing and touching women "by the pussy" without their permission. "When you're a star they let you." I.E. a presidential candidate bragging about getting away with sexual assault.
When a tape leaks of Hillary Clinton gleefully bragging to some celebrity about how easy it was to delete her emails so all the stupid plebs would never know how secretly evil she is, then you'll have a case if it doesn't dominate the news cycle. But until then it's just more Trump supporter bullshit.

That's because her popularity is false. 1 post about Clinton on the Front Page would bring out a ton of criticism on her - which would impact any independent voters in swing states.

I recommend voting Stein if you don't live in a swing state because the DNC needs to be torn out by its roots asap.

That's a simplistic view in my opinion. You can't force regulations on these companies because they have essentially become an integral part of the law making process through lobbying. It's a very difficult situation, and I don't know how to realistically address it.

I actually like the new algorithm. I've found so many new subs that I never would have if they hadn't changed it. Now /r/all has such variety. (And some good porn) I still see the_donald there all the time too. Plus they still dominate /r/all/rising.
Reddit is mostly liberal. No doubt about it. The_donald is the one big exception, but that's 225k people compared to ten times that many elsewhere. Plus a good chunk of them are trolls.

You underestimate the importance of large environmental firms. They pave the way for countless small businesses to compete for work they would otherwise be incapable of completing (some contracts require small women owned business involvement). They employ civil engineers, construction departments, etc.
It's not just environmental scientists. In fact, I would say environmental consulting firms incorporate more employees that aren't directly experienced in environmental work.
For instance, for some work on a navy installation, our contracting group hired a small company to complete almost the entirety of the work (often called pass through). The effects of reducing environmental compliance is far reaching, not even including the environmental base argument of saving the world.

Yeah, cause you obviously know a good deal about the environmental consulting world. Go back to your basement.

I think you're underestimating the number of Americans that despise Hillary.

No one does and that's what bothers me the most. This man can't be clear at all on his policy, only that he will be a menace as is clear by how he's running his campaign. That's obviously good enough for me and most of the country to not want to vote for him.

That is very interesting considering BLM and ISIS are both psy-ops.

I love show someone with a "degree in econ", dismisses new information when it doesn't fit their narrative.
If you want to throw your "degree in econ" as some sort of claim to expertise, I'd advise you as someone with an engineering degree and P.E. license (me) to review the author's credentials before just dismissing as conspiracy.
You millennials have google don't you? There's nothing in that article that can't be checked in other sources. Time for you to understand the reason these specifics aren't being covered is the same reason this mainstream press lied to America about motivations for the Iraq war, Iraqi nukes, Iraqi mobile bio-labs, Iraqi ties to al Qaeda, over 12 years ago when you were still a toddler.

How about you just go fuck yourself and I continue on with my pleasant day?

I meant denying facts and then getting unnecessarily upset about it.. but whatever let's you sleep at night. Also I certainly wasn't being rude lmao that's cute though.

Can I get a fact check that Trump just defeated the pure societal cancer that is Clinton and her supporters?
AHAHAHAHAHA
