COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

  5. What an asinine country we have devolved into.

    The singular dumbest decision is early voting.

    Half of California has voted.

    Now check this into your thinking:

    You are on a jury and half of the jury makes, discusses and records a verdict before the trial is complete.

    This is political and structural malfeasance. A superior court would declare a mistrial.

  9. There are four or five states which allow one to change one's vote after voting early.

    Don't know which states.

    I can't imagine the confusion.

    12 1/2 million people have already voted, including me.

    I'm not changing my vote though.

      Trump says Hillary's corruption represents the worst scandal since Watergate.

      He was immediately challenged by news anchors and fact-checkers. They cite Bill Clinton's impeachment as exponentially worse.

      Nitwits.

      Impeachment is a political action. It is merely the punishment Congress hands out for malfeasance in office. That malfeasance amounted to having and intern give him a blow job and then lying about it.

      On the other hand, Hillary has offered us a career of corruption and lying, the latest example of which threatens national security. Despite Comey's protestations to the opposite, there should be little question that she lied (through omission or commission) to the FBI. And don't get me started on her incompetence, though under Obama that is not a punishable offense.

      Quirk Fact Check: Trump's charge is true.

    2. IMO, I don't think any of this will drive Hillary voters to Trump, but I do think it could keep Hillary voters from voting. They may decide just to sit this one out. And that, in a sense, is a vote for Trump.

      You just say that because Jill Stein is on a roll and moving up fast. The chart shows that she has doubled her numbers in the last couple of weeks and is closing the gap fast.

      She may not have enough time left in the race and may lose by a hair in the end but it looks like she has started a powerful movement.

  18. Since they've been investigating der Weiner for some time, how did they only now come across this stuff on his phones/computer?

    1. Not as long as I thought:

      After reports surfaced late last month that Mr. Weiner had sent illicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina, top prosecutors in Charlotte and Manhattan jockeyed for the case. Senior officials in the Justice Department decided that if there were a prosecution, it would take place in New York under the supervision of the United States attorney there, Preet Bharara.


      About the same time, agents in the F.B.I.’s New York field office understood that the Weiner investigation could possibly turn up additional emails related to Mrs. Clinton’s private server, according to a senior federal law enforcement official. Mr. Weiner’s estranged wife, Huma Abedin, is a top adviser to Mrs. Clinton.

      On Oct. 3, the F.B.I. seized several electronic devices, including a laptop, Mr. Weiner’s iPhone and an iPad that was in large measure used by his 4-year-old son to watch cartoons, a person with knowledge of the matter said. Days later, F.B.I. agents also confiscated a Wi-Fi router that could identify any other devices that had been used, the person said.

      During the course of searching the seized devices, the F.B.I. discovered thousands of emails, according to senior law enforcement officials, some of them sent between Ms. Abedin and other Clinton aides. Agents and prosecutors in the Clinton investigation could not immediately read those emails without court authority, however.

  21. Hillary Clinton’s allies said they were “dumbfounded” by the revelation that the new FBI review may have been spurred by a separate investigation into Anthony Weiner sending lewd texts to a minor. Weiner is separated from wife Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest aides.

    And they worried that Clinton’s unconventional email arrangement had finally caught up to her and might imperil her presidential bid less than two weeks before Election Day.

    “I'm livid, actually,” one Clinton surrogate told The Hill. “This has turned into malpractice. It's an unforced error at this point. I have no idea what Comey is up to but the idea this email issue is popping back up again is outrageous. It never should have occurred in the first place. Someone somewhere should have told her no. And they didn't and now we're all paying the price.”

    Another ally called the campaign’s mood something akin to “paralysis,” and blamed Weiner’s behavior for railroading the campaign.

    One strategist said the developments would further cement the notion that Clinton has something to hide.

  22. Hillary Clinton Assails James Comey, Calling Email Decision ‘Deeply Troubling’

    After stepping gingerly around the issue on Friday, calling on the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to release more specific information but not overtly criticizing him, her campaign waged a coordinated offensive on Saturday, accusing Mr. Comey of smearing Mrs. Clinton with innuendo late in the race and of violating Justice Department rules.

    Hillary Clinton and her allies sprang onto a war footing on Saturday, opening a ferocious attack on the F.B.I.’s director a day after he disclosed that his agency was looking into a potential new batch of messages from her private email server.

    “It is pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election,” Mrs. Clinton said at a rally in Daytona Beach, Fla. “In fact, it’s not just strange; it is unprecedented and it is deeply troubling.”
    ---
    “By providing selective information, he has allowed partisans to distort and exaggerate to inflict maximum political damage,” Mr. Podesta said during a campaign conference call with reporters. “Comey has not been forthcoming with the facts,” he added, describing the director’s letter to Congress on Friday as “long on innuendo” and calling on Mr. Comey to release more details about the inquiry.
