Oh, please. The ONLY classified information they could find was that she received an email that stated she needed to make a condolence call over the death of a foreign leader. There was never a law against using a personal server. No laws were broken. Colin Powell, Rice and Dick Cheney, and literally thousands of government cabinet workers have used personal emails with classified information, so until you right wingers start demanding retroactive prosecution for them, shut up already. Right Wingers are blowing $13,000 per day in tax dollars in order to investigate her. They have spent over $200 million investigating her since 1999. Good job. Money well spent.
Nary a peep from them about the (baker's) dozen "Benghazis" during Bush's tenure either...wonder why that is?

The 2 brothers in Boston did not have Assult rifles and were able to kill 3 and hurt 300. Should we ban pressure cookers??
The primary use by pressure cookers 99.9% of the time is to cook food. While the primary use of a gun is to kill people. Although that's completely irrelevant since....
I'm really tired of this dishonest argument too. One side says more regulation is needed, and the right side of the aisle asks why they want to ban all guns.
Are conservatives incapable of reading English?
Or maybe math? As we can see, a gun allows asshole terrorists to kill people much more efficiently (and subsequently many more) than with a rigged pressure cooker. Therefore, people are advocating regulation/background checks that would make it more difficult for dickheads like this to murder Americans. The same thing Obama said last week.
Why is this basic concept so difficult to get through the thick skulls of conservatives?

It was just as much a hate crime as terror attack. He chose them for a reason.
Was almost worse...
I just read this. Another screwball with easy access to an arsenal of weapons. Thank Gawd they caught this asshole. He was clearly planning on mass carnage at the parade.

I was born in Ft. Pierce and raised around there. So sad. Let's leave the conservative bullshit, irrational Obama hate out of it.
There are a few immediate ironies that come to mind. The first is that we should anticipate the liberals will make this political immediately ( Hello? Are you reading your own posts?) Second is that we should be upset at any perceived semantics by the press, while keeping close tabs on how Obama speaks in regards to this event and attack him immediately if he doesn't use words we deem appropriate. And finally that we're all Americans, unless these Americans want to get married, serve in the military or raise kids.

This guy should not have had access to buying a weapon. Anyone on a terror watch list should not be able to buy a weapon. Or anyone who is placed on a list by hospitals, doctors and families with mental disorders. Anyone convicted of a violent crime. Or a chicken shit woman abuser or pedophile. And I'm a gun owner.
Obama just talked about this last week with a gun shop owner in a town hall setting. They (the government) have their eyes on terrorist sympathizers, but despite this these assholes are still able to get their hands on high powered weapons with ease.
I think that's what we're seeing here, just like in San Bernardino. They see a weakness to exploit and use it to their advantage. Any asshole in this country can get a weapon that can kill dozens in a matter of moments.

Cramer wrote:I think it would be great if it were Warren. She'd bring over all the Bernie people for starters. I also think she's fantastic all the way around. A breath of fresh air. She's been giving Trump hell lately, which I find both surprising and entertaining.
I've always thought it would Castro as the Veep to lock the Latino vote. Although they don't need to worry about that too much anymore, Trump already did it for them.
I don't think it'll be Castro. And Trump has been the Democrats best weapon. All they have to do is replay his dumb outlandish statements. I just can't see anyway he can win. He has no money and the Clinton machine pretty much kills him in organization and the ground game. Oh and he seems to do really stupid shit on a daily basis.
The NY Times just ran a piece about how he ran his casinos into the ground in Atlantic City. I've always felt that his "business acumen" has been vastly overated.
Who do you think it might be?
Trump has what appears to be endless issues to be scrutinized on top of whatever comes out of his mouth. It's quite remarkable. The Trump U debacle alone is really pretty scummy. It reminds me of that saying: The strong take from the weak and the smart take from the strong. It's not like he needed the money, he just saw an opportunity to take some, and took it. Just like he saw an opportunity now...

Closed primaries have to do with party members not wanting non party members determining their primaries.
Makes sense to me.
#1709 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 544 weeks ago
If I entered Trumps mind I would win this shit so easy. But he can't control himself. I see a total implosion coming.
Well the political winds change direction on a dime. Today may not look too good, but tomorrow is another day.
Trump does need a handler (maybe you could apply if an opening appears), but what makes him Trump is that he doesn't have a handler. The good is also the bad.

I thought you were a big Trump fan? You're not going to vote now? Even for the House?
