2016 Democratic Thread
Clinton exercised poor judgement in setting up the private server in the first place, but they've found no evidence of her intentionally and willfully breaking the law. The people shouting "the system is rigged!" don't actually have to show any proof of their claims, and it's a nice "heads I win, tails you lose" argument where either Clinton got indicted or she didn't and they get to say she absolutely should have and her not getting indicted it proof of corruption.

Brexit
They haven't actually accomplished it yet, though. Parliament still needs to invoke Article 50, and then there needs to be a long, detailed negotiation between the UK and the EU. They just did the easiest part and are leaving the hard work to someone else.

Nigel Farage, leader of the UKIP and one of the leading voices in favor of Leave, is resigning. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/...ruining-uk.html It's nice of Farage and Johnson to push for this vote and then bail out shortly after it passes.

Comey: 110 classified emails sent on Clinton's server, staff/aides 'extremely careless', but no recommendation for criminal indictment. That was really the last thing that could have posed a legitimate threat to her campaign imo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) It's fascinating that they're actually trying to run with the "sheriff badge" excuse even after people found the original source eta his press release, come on man we know where it came from, the guy who made it had plenty of explicitly antisemitic images, this isn't a "sherrif's star" They chose the dumbest possible way to respond to this and will never let go, which I guess is pretty routine for this campaign at this point. eta2 in case anyone had any question on what the original intent behind the star was, the same guy who originally made it also made this one: and another one with the same star on a "Bernie Sanders" ice cream. There's zero question what the original intent was. The more interesting questions here are how did Trump's campaign come across this in the first place, is there so little control/awareness in the campaign that nobody took a second look at the image, and why are they insisting on the dumbest possible response?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) Lol wat I think we've now reached biggest reach of all of anti-Trump reaches. Weird how they quickly deleted it and replaced the star with a circle though. His /pol and alt right supporters are pretty openly anti semitic so it's not really a shock, probably just retweeted one of their things.- 2016 Democratic Thread

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 05:36 PM) Trouble for Hillary (I hope): Didn't want to put in Republican thread even though Caufield started it in there. ... She needs to just go away. And by saying that it doesn't mean I support Trump. I just don't want a so obvious wheeler and dealer, entitled person like Hillary in the White House. A meeting on a plane??? With the AG? Cmon Hillary supporters, explain this one. Oh I know ... it was nothing. They wanted to chat about their grandkids. Yeah in a public airport on a fricking plane. I'm sure that didn't inconvenience anybody as they chuckled about getting Hillary off scot free in the email case. Crooked politics!! https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/loretta-...-101500028.html That is actually the correct thread for whining about Hillary, not this one, as has been pointed out to you many times.- 2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) I like the Mike Pence report. They actually haven't gone out of their way to offend the gay community in this campaign yet while offending basically everyone else who isn't a straight white male, so he'd perfectly fill the role of checking that off the list. Is pence even really liked in Indiana?- 2016 Democratic Thread
Don't worry, just a tiny minority of people are openly racist, and having the Republican presidential nominee saying garbage like this for months on end definitely has no effect. Gotta ban the hibbi jabbies!- 2016 Democratic Thread

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 29, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) True I'm sure there is some racism in any bias however over there its not just a group, its anyone who isn't German. Didn't matter the color of the German's skin, it was the fact that another national was taking their opportunities. It just had a very different feel from the racism here which is directed as much inward as it is outward. Do you consider the hate against Muslims racism? Fair enough. For the second question, it'd be bigotry or prejudice- Chicago White Sox vs Minnesota Twins 6/29/2016, Shields vs Nolasco, 7:
