Podesta agreeing Iran deal condemns next generation to nuclear cleanup in the Middle East. Guess this is the publi/private position thing. :(

I can't really tell if you believe the conclusions you're posting or you're just trying to provoke responses, but it sure keeps the roundtable lively.

What happened to Nate?

I hope HRC didn't have him taken care of, like Seth Rich. :(

Nate's a marathon runner. I think he's training for the stretch run.

And the one place that governments could help - well, they just can't.

After the drive for universal education in the 1950s and ’60s made it possible for almost everyone in wealthy countries to attend high school and for many to go to university, further improvements in education levels were marginal.


I liked the article very much - one thing I wish he had written about were the policies that DID restrict growth.

Not a surprise given the way they rigged the primaries.
Thank God we didn't draft the Fat Matador.

The silence is deafening.

I’m saying we have mentally ill people, that we pay to do ****, make no mistake,” says Foval in the video. “Over the last twenty years, I’ve paid off a few homeless guys to do some crazy stuff, and I’ve also taken them for dinner, and I’ve also made sure they had a hotel, and a shower. And I put them in a program. Like I’ve done that. But the reality is, a lot of people especially our union guys. A lot of our union guys…they’ll do whatever you want. They’re rock and roll. When I need to get something done in Arkansas, the first guy I call is the head of the AFL-CIO down there, because he will say, ‘What do you need?’ And I will say, I need a guy who will do this, this and this. And they find that guy. And that guy will be like, Hell yeah, let’s do it.”

Hey everyone is shocked at that ****. Indefensible, I never expected it to be *that* bad. Those injured Chicago cops are going to sue Clinton/her cronies as individuals for tens of millions.....the city as well.

There are dozens of civil and criminal lawsuits coming her way. And this is only tape 1.....

Once again, who amongst us hasn't hired a mentally retahted homeless person to do our wet work for us?

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone...

Do you think he paid Foval off to say the things he did? Or maybe kidnap his family to make him talk?

It isn't like doing interviews with random strangers.

Were talking about the same James O'Keefe that doctored video footage? The same dude that played a fake pimp in those hilarious ACORN videos. Were trusting this guy to provide evidence? Why not just post some articles from infowars.com while your at it?

He definitely has someone on tape saying some pretty alarming things, and somebody (maybe more than one person) may soon be unemployed, but consider the source. O'Keefe has a history of doctoring film and sound, editing to distort reality, criminal trespass, fraud, petty nuisance suits, and generally being a relentless self promoter not too interested in the truth. (Hmmm, maybe he should run for president.) I could provide links to support the above, but either you already know it, can easily find support online, or have your fingers in your ears while saying, "nyah, nya, nyah!"

Hopefully, this gets a look, but media outlets would be smart to take their time in examining it, because it looks pretty similar to the previous fraudulent "exposes."

Do you think he put in a Foval costume to make this vid? Do you think he used one of those Mission Impossible masks? Pretending to be a pimp is pretty far removed from getting a public figure to admit breaking the law.

Okeefe has already been burned by his previous vids and had to pay out six figure fines. Making up a fraudulent vid of this scale would be suicidal.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Some broken clocks are just always too fast or too slow.

There's usually some truth in political propaganda pieces, but O'Keefe's pieces don't get any benefit of doubt. More will be revealed, but the potential explosiveness here is initially tempered by the messenger. Kind of like how Trump's "rigged" comments sound a lot like Clinton's "vast right wing conspiracy" comments from an earlier time. To be taken with a shaker of salt.

After what the DNC did to Sanders they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt either. And Trump's "rigged" comments are a lot different from someone actually admitting to doing the rigging.

Trump's craziness doomed his campaign. I give him credit for taking his shot at the right time. The opportunity was there he just wasn't the right guy to take advantage of it.
