In another case, Donna Brazile, then a CNN contributor but now acting head of the Democratic National Committee, emailed members of the Clinton campaign to tip them off about a question that would be asked at Clinton’s debate with Bernie Sanders, her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination. "From time to time I get the questions in advance," read the subject line of an alleged email in which Brazile told members of the Clinton campaign to be ready for a question on the death penalty. In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Brazile denied leaking questions. Deny, deny, deny. Not at all what you describe barfo.
I really wish the media would investigate. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/13/us/politics/donald-trump-women.html?_r=0 Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said. “No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.” At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment. More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before. About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her. It turns out the armrests do not go up/down in first class. How about verifying any of these stories? Flight manifest showing the two were on the same plane at the time?
Nah. Just fact checking the media for those who don't care to. Figured this out on my own from reading the NYTimes article and seeing her on CNN. What the media is doing is quite apparent. If you dig a little into what they're declaring as truth, it's not truth. They continue to report that Trump is lying when he says he was against the invasion of Iraq. They base it on a half-hearted "I guess so" comment on the Stern show and completely ignore the 2003 (prior to invasion) interview on Fox Business where he said we shouldn't rush into it and should wait for the UN to join in. There's no other way to say it but the media is outright lying.
I will note that the campaign's response to that email was along the lines of "yes, we can share her position on the death penalty with you". Not "hey, thanks for the hot tip!". barfo
You figured that out on your own by seeing Katrina say it? My, that's impressive. Here's a tip: Katrina Pierson is an idiot. Actually, there are plenty of other ways to say it. barfo
And Brazille was working for the media and improperly shared the debate questions with the campaign. Bernie Sanders got fucked, just as we all will. The liar knows no ethical or legal boundaries.
Clicked on the first picture. A tweet saying it's a Braniff 1st class seat. The plane in the photo is a DC-10. Braniff (as near as I can tell) flew Boeing planes and the DC-8 (not DC-10) at the time. Boeing planes, only, in the USA. The third photo is of a BAC1-11 plane. I'm sure CNN's aviation editor knows better.
Actually, today's news makes it clearer that the question that Brazille sent did in fact come from the debate moderator. Which is very interesting, and does suggest something smelly. It's not entirely clear yet, though, exactly who did what when, and who knew what when. Unless the campaign knew it was going to be hacked, and was cleverly preparing for that, it seems like maybe they didn't think they were receiving a debate question but rather a request for information. barfo
This is how I sum up Trump and Clinton. They're both dangerous candidates in their own ways: With Clinton it will be more of the same hawkish foreign policy, the same DOJ prosecuting journalists for not revealing their sources and hounding whistle blowers, the same corrupt money-machine in Washington, and with an adversarial congress not a fucking thing will get done and she might even get impeached or assassinated, but whatever the case I really see her as a one-hit wonder. With Trump, he's a toxic mix of run-amok belligerence and anti-intellectualism and holds some truly dangerous views about how a constitutional democracy is supposed to work. I don't know that he'd be able to go full Mussolini, but the rhetoric is eerily similar to the 1920s and 1930s that gave rise to fascism across Europe. He might also get impeached or assassinated, but I think electing him could normalize some truly anti-democratic impulses in our country. I'm still going to vote for Gary Johnson despite the fact that he deeply disappoints me in terms of his grasp of geography and geopolitics. I'm afforded the luxury to lodge my protest vote because there is no way Oregon is going to vote for Trump, but if it were then I strongly suspect I'd have to vote for a slimy shit-bag like Hillary over a potentially destructive demagogue with delusions of grandeur like Trump. TLDR "We fucked."
