Judge orders Hillary Clinton deposition in email flap. "Even years after the FBI investigation, the slow trickle of new emails has yet to be explained," Lamberth wrote. He blasted Clinton's prior answers given in response to another judge's order as "incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory, at best."

Clinton was previously required to submit a sworn written statement about her email use, but the deposition—if it takes place—would be the first time she has had to submit to live questioning under oath on the subject.

And, last I heard, she's still dodging Gabbard's 50m defamation lawsuit.

I looked it up and my ballot had 14 total candidates, so I think the 6 - 7 on average is probably right, maybe even conservative since I'd figure a rich state like Virginia would be one of the states to update their ballots, but Iunno.

A good reminder on why voting for president is so important, the type of person Trump will put in the supreme court is a lot different than the type of person who Biden would put in. So even if you, like me, were hoping for and supporting Bernie. You still have to get out there and vote for Biden because it matters in a big tangible way.

The supreme court is weighing in on Roe again in regards to a Louisiana abortion law.

Biff has pretty consistently vocalized support for social democracy. He just also think that a leftist should consider the middle far preferable to the far right.

the [Oppressed] great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, [or Trump], but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;

who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the [oppressed] to wait for a "more convenient season."
