    Illegitimate child with DNA evidence?

    He really did rape that 13 year old?

    Apparently, the judge gave her case the goahead today as well.

    I cannot imagine giving a shit about Clinton's speeches to Goldman Sachs.

    paraphrased:

    "being rich is different than being poor"

    "the folks who understand industry bring the knowledge needed to regulate it"

    "i would prefer to not have to abandon investments just because i'm in office"

    she should have released them in the primary to shut the fucking berners up if these are the damning excerpts.

    Paying for a mistress' abortion(s) is the one that is almost definitely coming, along with a fuller examination of the sexual assault cases against him.

    Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

    I don't know that this was the Clinton team. This seems like stuff in private hands that's so obviously worth $ that I don't know that most people would think to hold on to it and hand it over (or sell it to) a campaign.

    But it is pretty damn good timing. I can't imagine the Town Hall won't have some soccer mom ask about this.

    Washington will to consider using conventional weaponry in response to a cyber-attack on the United States, according a new US strategy
    .

    Remember, the last time the US retaliated against Russian hackers, they made a pipeline program with a logic bomb and blew up a Siberian Pipeline with the force of 3 Kilotons.

    Yeah the US blows shit up even with its hacking.

    Very explosioncentric retaliations generally.

    Eh more effective now, they've been built up and they are bullshit. Especially now in the wake of trump admitting he assaults women and gets away with it by being famous.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    on the other hand, not releasing left them for someone else to think they were a hot october surprise

    probably giving far too much credit, but this will chew up news cycle time and amount to nothing

    that's not a bad thing to have happen right now

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    The primary was the time without any sense of proportionality. And anything she released, would not have been enough. The people who wanted to would have insisted she was holding back the really damaging stuff and twisted it to show she was really a Nazi Lizardperson Neoliberal banker. She couldn't win by releasing it and at best some other nothingburger would have become the new scandal of the day

    It's possible she was bound by contract (or implicit agreement) that the statements were confidential. Loyalty goes both ways with Clinton, and she isn't going to breach someone's trust for no good reason if she doesn't have to.

    Look at what Clinton tried to push during the debates. Clinton goes on about maybe Trump didn't pay any taxes. Then the Times gets some tax forms. She forced Machado into the conversation to set up Trump's attitude toward women. The Washington Post finds a tape.

    I expect whatever she tries to bait out of Donald during this next debate gets leaked on Monday and published over the next two weeks.

    Some, perhaps. But there's a reason Silver tweeted that "if Trump loses the woman vote" map so many months ago.

    This could encourage others to come forward, and Trump is constitutionally incapable of backing down so how this plays out is not a mystery.

    Yep, the Trumpers are pretty much praising him, saying every man talks or wishes they could talk this way. But hopefully it helps enough with undecideds.

    I feel like maybe there's an upper limit to how nuclear the dirt they want to throw at each other in the primary is.

    Sort of an "honor among thieves"/a craven move to make sure you're possibly a VP candidate and don't make an enemy of the guy who might be President.

    like tbh what Ted Cruz did at the convention took cajones

    and he has to now supplicate himself to make up for it.

    Trump literally admitted he actively sexually assaults women and gets away with it because he's famous, on video, that video was released today.

    A lot of Trump supporters online and on TV are doing a very good job of providing evidence that the deplorables line was correct.
