So apparently this happened?

BREAKING: Hours After First Intelligence Briefing, Trump Likely Leaked CLASSIFIED Secrets

Supposedly Trump leaked the presence of a classified US military base in Saudi Arabia. It could just be Trump talking out his ass as per usual but if it's true, how the hell is he gonna give Hilary shit for leaking information from her emails.

 

I'm not even surprised

 

I saw a retraction already.

 

Well never mind that.

 

Trump hasn't been briefed on national security yet

 

Facebook admits it blocked WikiLeaks links, but won't say why

Lol pathetic

 

weren't those links doxing a lot of people?

maybe if Wikileaks gave a damn about how to responsibly leak stuff they wouldn't have to play the victim card

 

I'm not defending any doxxing. but that doesn't detract from Facebook blocking a lot of stuff (read the article) and just casually addressing it either

 

I had a conversation with my mother this morning and she wanted to talk about who Jill Stein was after the Cornel West appearance on Bill Maher. I told her about her positions. She said she'll vote for her. But, my sister may ruin that. She interned for Nancy Pelosi after all. Maybe that's why I don't get along with David. I had to put up with his iteration of liberalism for twenty-three years. Ha.

 

That all depends on what principles you hold true and supported. Trump isn't a bought politician and he didn't win the nomination with the aid of collusion.

Many people say Trump could be the next Hitler, which if you look at how Hitler rose to power, it fits Clinton better. Now the message of Hitler on nationalism and the call of violence fits Trump better than Clinton. However, it should be noted that the way our government is set up it's likely that Trump or Clinton would be impeached before an individual was able to accomplish similar tasks.
So for those Bernie supporters (I imagine) they find a way to rationalize of voting for one demagogue to oust another demagogue with oligarchy ties

Many individuals view it as a two person race and if you want the greatest odds of having your voice heard you have to vote for one of those two options while casting your voice for a long shot and lesser popular choice isn't an effective way of having your voice heard. Which just shows how uninformed people are to the understanding that the more you vote for what you want instead of what you don't want, the more likely it is that you will get what you want.

 

Weirder yet: Clinton campaign database once again apparently hacked by Russian intelligence.

Only if other people want what you want too and the election system is set up in a way to allow that to be displayed. Something like a the Alternative Vote, or ranked choice. Otherwise, this isn't the case at all.

A month ago, Trump was at 20%.

 

Yeah, they attempted to explain why their model has given Trump a higher chance than other models out there.

Why Our Model is Bullish on Trump, For Now

Also, I'm trying to ignore polling until like a week or two into August since everything is haywire with convention bumps and whatnot.

 

It's still better to keep the electorate on their toes. You don't want people to stay home come election because they're assuming Hillary is a shoe in.

 

How anyone can defend this guy blows my mind. He gets more and more disgusting every time he opens his mouth.

 

All he does is lie. Constantly. It's disgusting at this point. Ezra's latest piece was good.

Donald Trump’s slander of Captain Humayun Khan’s family is horrifying, even for Trump

 

He claimed that the NFL sent him a letter about the debates being scheduled against prime time games. The NFL promptly denied ever sending him such a letter.

 

wouldn't be the first time the NFL denied something.....

 

Points!
