Could there please be an acknowledgment of the impossible standard HRC is being held to here? Maybe she spun too hard is saying her server set up was super above board (the IT guys all signed off on it at the time, no one complained). But compare that to even one sentence from Trump, or a few sentences from Gowdy or Chaffetz. Trump can't finish a sentence without a blatant falsehood that he should have known better. The best "Hillary lied' argument left is that there were 2-3 emails that had "C" in the boddy that she missed when she said "I didn't sent marked classified emails". Note that these may have been misclassified as indicated by the State department.

If you didn't hate Hillary, then you would see that as an honest mistake.

And if you insist on holding Hillary to the standard of not just honest effort in trying to say the truth to her best recollection (remember we talking about 4 year old server configurations and emails), but to absolute truth in all statement irrespective of error, then you must hold the Republicans to the same standard.


This post is so ironic considering the standard the left holds Trump to.

If he could stop following white supremacists on twitter and retweeting their shit over and over, it would be a good start. Well he did stop following two of them after a reporter wrote a story about it. But I get it, it’s a really common problem that no one really has.


I'd be interested in a source on this and if they're actually white supremacists or not.

The David star corrupt Hillary twitter picture originated from a neo-nazi board where it was posted hours before the tweet was send out.

Google can probably provide more evidence of that if you want it.


TIL im a neo-nazi

totally that, there have been no links earlier in this thread to 'journalists' who found it.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that the meeting Senate Republicans had with Donald Trump turned combative when the real estate mogul started calling out specific legislators who were publicly skeptical about supporting him.

The publication, which spoke to several people on the condition of anonymity, reported that Trump had a particularly tense exchange with Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who has said he couldn't support Trump after he proposed a ban on Muslims from entering the country.

When Flake stood to introduce himself, the Post reported that Trump told him, "You’ve been very critical of me."

To which Flake responded: "Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that."

Flake was referring to comments Trump made earlier in his campaign about Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) when he argued that the senator was not a war hero because he was captured.

Trump reportedly said at the meeting that he has not yet attacked Flake hard but threatened to begin to do so. Flake told Trump that he needed to stop attacking Mexicans and the businessman said to Flake that he would lose his reelection bid.

Flake then reportedly informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year. A spokesman for Flake didn't return the Post's request for comment.

Trump also called out Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) who withdrew his endorsement after Trump criticized the ethnicity of a federal judge. Trump said he would win Illinois, typically a Democratic state, in a landslide. Kirk wasn't present at the meeting.

Trump also called out Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), who has refused to support Trump. His spokesman told reporters that the two had a "gracious exchange," but that the election remains a "dumpster fire."

Trump is not used to people who are completely unimpressed by him and have a memory longer than the 24 hour news cycle. I would have paid money to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.

Unfortunately, it seems that a number of these twitter accounts have been deleted since then. I wish news organizations would screencap or archive a little more often rather than create links that end up becoming dead links.

There's a couple screencaps here- the white genocide phrase is a standout in my mind.

Daily show is a news source, and sadly, does better journalism than a fair number of other places.


If you get your news from comedians, well... your views are literally a joke

Daily Show is almost as biased as John Oliver. It can have its moments of funny but the vast majority of it is just pandering to an echochamber audience.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that the meeting Senate Republicans had with Donald Trump turned combative when the real estate mogul started calling out specific legislators who were publicly skeptical about supporting him.

The publication, which spoke to several people on the condition of anonymity, reported that Trump had a particularly tense exchange with Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who has said he couldn't support Trump after he proposed a ban on Muslims from entering the country.

When Flake stood to introduce himself, the Post reported that Trump told him, "You’ve been very critical of me."

To which Flake responded: "Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that."

Flake was referring to comments Trump made earlier in his campaign about Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) when he argued that the senator was not a war hero because he was captured.

Trump reportedly said at the meeting that he has not yet attacked Flake hard but threatened to begin to do so. Flake told Trump that he needed to stop attacking Mexicans and the businessman said to Flake that he would lose his reelection bid.

Flake then reportedly informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year. A spokesman for Flake didn't return the Post's request for comment.

Trump also called out Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) who withdrew his endorsement after Trump criticized the ethnicity of a federal judge. Trump said he would win Illinois, typically a Democratic state, in a landslide. Kirk wasn't present at the meeting.

Trump also called out Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), who has refused to support Trump. His spokesman told reporters that the two had a "gracious exchange," but that the election remains a "dumpster fire."

Lol @ Trump trying to intimidate Flake and failing. Guy can't even lead his own party without threatening his own members.

Could there please be an acknowledgment of the impossible standard HRC is being held to here? Maybe she spun too hard is saying her server set up was super above board (the IT guys all signed off on it at the time, no one complained). But compare that to even one sentence from Trump, or a few sentences from Gowdy or Chaffetz. Trump can't finish a sentence without a blatant falsehood that he should have known better. The best "Hillary lied' argument left is that there were 2-3 emails that had "C" in the boddy that she missed when she said "I didn't sent marked classified emails". Note that these may have been misclassified as indicated by the State department.

If you didn't hate Hillary, then you would see that as an honest mistake.

And if you insist on holding Hillary to the standard of not just honest effort in trying to say the truth to her best recollection (remember we talking about 4 year old server configurations and emails), but to absolute truth in all statement irrespective of error, then you must hold the Republicans to the same standard.


This post is so ironic considering the standard the left holds Trump to.

If he could stop following white supremacists on twitter and retweeting their shit over and over, it would be a good start. Well he did stop following two of them after a reporter wrote a story about it. But I get it, it’s a really common problem that no one really has.


I'd be interested in a source on this and if they're actually white supremacists or not.

So I can go look at what the accounts are tweeting

And what he retweeted.

It was so prevalent that the Daily Show did an entire segment on it.


LOL the daily show oh boy that explains a lot

The David star corrupt Hillary twitter picture originated from a neo-nazi board where it was posted hours before the tweet was send out.

Google can probably provide more evidence of that if you want it.


TIL im a neo-nazi

totally that, there have been no links earlier in this thread to 'journalists' who found it.

Unfortunately, it seems that a number of these twitter accounts have been deleted since then. I wish news organizations would screencap or archive a little more often rather than create links that end up becoming dead links.

There's a couple screencaps here- the white genocide phrase is a standout in my mind.

the white genocide is a copy pasta thrown around the chans.

My understanding is 8chan came from people who found 4chan to be to heavily moderated. On a side note, you can’t use some archive sites on 8chan because of “the risk of child pornography being archived in error.” It is the dumpster fire within a dumpster fire of the internet.

My understanding was that the mods started cracking down due to the very real threat of the owner of 4chan being brought up on charges for the shit going on. I know 8chan became known in the MA legal field for releasing the person information of 8 state police officers and a federal judge, including social security numbers.

The harsh reality that maybe some of the people on those sites are bad people.
