Practically any non-felon US citizen over 25 can be elected representative. It's a pretty low bar.

Prior to this glorious law I paid 182 a month with no deductible and had better coverage via Aetna for nearly a decade. My first rate via the marketplace was roughly double that.

And just when you thought Wikileaks couldn't make the Clinton team anymore inept. Why didn't these morons shut down email after the Clinton email fiasco and move to Slack or even better desktop Telegram.

They also emailed Clinton's first 90 day plan if elected. Password protected. Someone couldn't open it, so Podesta replied via *email* with the password. The password was 2016. Someone was going to brute force the PPTX and then someone simply replied, just keep reading the thread they provide the password. Hilarious.

That stuff is the equivalent of grandmothers thinking CD trays were cup holders in the late 90s. Ha.


Then of course there is this....which they also discussed as a "possibility". Self fulfilling prophecy.

Lord, I wish it were just fiction. Combine this with the disaster of Venezuala, Brazilian impeached President telling her followers to take to the streets, the turndown on the FARC peace plan in Columbia, Mexican drug gang issues and it's a scary hemisphere. And that's completely ignoring Putin and China pushing the boundaries, Jihadism and ISIS, etc. At least we don't have crazy dictators with ballistic nuclear . . . oh wait.

It's going to get worse. Of all people Kim Dotcom apparently provided Wikileaks with the 33k "missing emails" which are slated to be released Nov 1.

James O'Keefe has two more videos where he apparently meets Clinton as the fake donor, requesting visas for wealthy Syrians if they donate. He has had 7 operatives working for Clinton ties orgs for over a year. The next video has footage from Oct 16th of THIS year.

Lastly Wikileaks is still dropping 2K emails daily up until Election Day. Crazy times.

I'm so ashamed to be a millennial.


This isn't new, it's what Cornell was like when I was there in the late 70s. I'd still be more ashamed of this one, since it's nearly a majority rather than an obnoxious but arguably well meaning minority . . .

Nope, I think I can definitively say that the prospect of not eating cereal prompts no emotion from me whatever.

Indu, if what you're saying is true, and if what wikileaks keeps tweeting about "we have a surprise for you woooooo" is true, what are they waiting for? People are **** voting already.

You mean me and a couple buddies can arm ourselves to the teeth and take over a federal building for 6 weeks, threaten to shoot people, and end it in a shoot out with police and not go to jail for it??


Oh wait I'm black

I've never been certain on any spiritual or religious belief but two things hit me on this assertion:

1. Jesus, or anyone else, suggesting you voluntarily give to the poor is a good bit different than government compulsion w/the IRS and the threat of jail time ie involuntarily giving. I think that's a key difference between his teachings and worldly politics. The old expression was "A million for charity but not a penny for compulsion."

2. I also think the "give all of your possessions away" teaching is too a)help the less fortunate out in this world but also b)to remind you that this physical plane is illusory or at least only part of the whole picture and that we are actually spiritual beings (as I try to express this I realize my own understanding of it is limited)

AFM I agree, but 70% of what they promised has been released. I hope the rest is released.

At this point it may not matter the FBI just reopened their email investigation against Clinton due to the Podesta emails (they claim it wasn't Wikileaks but they could grab them via NSA).

I think Stein/Johnson just received a lot of new votes from Clinton.

The investigation is based on Weiner emails presumably sorted as a result of his sexting scandal.

Currently that is a heinously irresponsible way to broach the issue from Comey.
