Is anyone surprised? Should anyone reopen an investigation without new evidence in hand?

Flipping channels, seeing a bit of some Louisiana US senate candidates debate.
sad how stupid some of these guys are. (aka political)
They're asked questions on fixing social security and they spout some stuff that just isn't true; claiming they can fix social security entirely by getting more people into jobs and improving the economy. so many fundamentally unsound ideologically claims.

not many people actually get heavily affected by the hike because of the subsidies
So the rate hike also means the federal government pays hundreds of billions more to prop up health insurance companies.
And it means people in the partial-subsidy income bracket get shafted.
And it means people with good (Gold) plans need to pay more or downgrade.

the subsidy is to prop up sick people.

Lol let's do a Clinton vs Trump total ban that allows images and videos by the victors for a week.
edit: or just not any bans but the victors can do images and videos.

Or they could be uninsured, which is how it was pre-ACA. I look forward to the Republican solution where they remove the ACA and companies are able to deny insurance due to pre-existing conditions. Then my wife and I are trapped in MA forever.

stupid republicans; they should try to come up with an actual conservative plan.
I would if I had a clearer sense of what the conservative principles are and I was in congress, and I wouldn't even be a republican.

It's not in my power to offer you, I can offer you immunity from my own powers or to fall on my sword but I can't protect you from other mods.

License to shitpost is also just a really bad thing to bet over because unlike other bets which only affect the parties involved in the bet, you're negatively affecting the site experience for people who aren't participating in the bet.
If the winning side gets the right to shitpost in the thread, it just means this thread is fucked, regardless of who wins (kind of like America).

Yeah, that sounds like a really sucky bet. The nice thing with the ban bets is regardless who wins, people that are rather sick of each other posting get a little bit of respite from each other (both the banned and the winner). Permission to meme wrecks the thread for all those that have not grown quite so sick of different posters that they would take on a bet.

If Gary Johnson wins I'm replacing every post in this thread with a picture of Bisu.

You have to admit the issues with that bet are an amusing allegory of the issues with the US itself.
Also if he does get to post trump memes then Trump has actually won, in which case you have bigger problems.

How can you even receive death threats while anonymous? What a train wreck for the democrats You send them to the publicly listed law firm that filed the case? Do you really think Trump is a full on rapist who ties girls down 13 year old girls, rapes them and threatens their families? That's what she accused him of. I think there's a reason the media barely touched this one. He would make a complete shit president but you actually demonize him that much? At some point you need to be a little more objective.
Yes I do. I honestly would not expect anything less from him.

Well it is odd to say the least, as the emails itself are the evidence. What additional evidence could he possibly have gotten regarding those emails that made him write the letter? I asume he could not read them because he did not have a warrant and the investigation was closed.
