When I was growing up in the 80s there was constant undertone of fear...would we go to war with Russia? Nuclear weapons and so on...

My Mom worked for the foreign service many years before my birth and had the fortune of working in embassies around the world. It was of her opinion that WW 3 with Russia was highly unlikely during that time. She always said her main concern was some nutcase getting their hands on nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Looking back on that statement, I find it mirrors my sentiments today. That would be my primary concern way before any WW 3 type scenario happening. The old gal may be a PITA, but she was right about stuff like this IMO.

Impressive. I never thought they could fill 'em up like this.

I read through the documents (quickly) as well. None were classified as child porn that I saw. They claimed most of it was for "Grooming purposes."

There were books with nude children, but it was under the context of nudity in general, men/women/children. Lots of "barely legal" mags, trannies, gay stuff (adult men), and S&M themed porn. There were photos of children, but the detectives still didn't define them as child pornography. I couldn't find anything about animal torture or gore. Not that there wasn't, I went through it pretty quickly and my eyes were getting tired.

If it's an accurate report it seemed he was smart enough to keep his child nudity to more "art" based books that were quite a bit older. That way he could probably claim he was a collector of vintage nudes etc. My guess anyway...

The whole thing is weird.

It could be how they collected the material? Perhaps he had lawyers who were able to go through everything with a fine tooth comb and declare it inadmissible?

Trump has taken a dive in the polls. Hillary currently has a 7 point spread when you average polling data. That's well above the margin of error.

Republicans are getting anxious.

Hillary's war chest is enormous compared to Trump right now. 42 M raised vs 1.3 M.

Not surprisingly, as I had guessed, he appears to be having trouble running a national campaign. He needs help, and he needs to take advice quick, or this is all over. His claim is that he is able to run this lean n' mean, and that's how he would run government. But I suspect that's BS. Oddly he doesn't seem to be paying much attention to swing states. (By comparison Hillary is unleashing heavy ads in those areas starting now.)

Part of me wonders if he knows he's not cut out for the job and is trying to self destruct at this point. He sure doesn't seem like he wants the gig. The convention is going to be fun, and boy O'boy so is the rest of this election.
