I was hoping for the Stone indictment today, but guess we will have to wait.
Confirmation the feds are still looking at Trump Org for possible campaign finance violations in the wake of Cohen's plea.
We have been told that informal Justice Dept norms are not to release any news in the 60 days ahead of an election. We don't know if Mueller will adhere to those norms.
I wonder if the states feel that way? Specifically NY.
A mod's ridiculous derail, drive-by post in the OT Obama speech thread. Love how another mod came into the thread and told people to chill out. And didn't warn the mod for it even though what he did was certainly moddable.
User banned (permanent): Taking a 7 month old quote out of context in a deliberate attempt to inflame and disrupt
Um, repubs have leaked EVERYTHING they want public to the press. This is basically how they were going to operate, on purpose. HAHA WE SIGNED UR DOC BUT OOPS IT LEAKED TO HANNITY
Only 1 in 5 young people vote. Are you really surprised people on this forum don't vote or never have?
There is no way on earth that saying "I never want to vote again" should be an actionable offense.
Sooooooooooo, any American wanna make a "go fucking vote!" OT? Lots of mods post in here. It should be pinned to the top of both forums from Oct. 1st all the way to Election Day.
Sorry, I just realized that post being quoted was from an old thread.
What is wrong with people? I come from a family of fiery Oklahoma Democrats. It was impressed upon my sister and me that you always vote, every time, because if you don't you have no right to complain and because you should take some ownership of your country.
I understand frustration, but I don't understand this laziness and apathy among people who can vote but don't. It takes no time.

Would this urging extend to Republicans and third party voters as well?
Are you naturally this tiresome, or does it take work?
Well I think if she won the WH she would have won the Senate. And there's no way she'd let the GOP deny her a SCOTUS pick. She'd be on Schumer's ass until he lowered the threshold to a simple majority.
The vast majority of people do not actually give a shit about politics other than a presidential election, and then only if there's a charismatic person to vote for.
Whats the difference between what Flynn did and Papadopoulos did? Didn't they both lie to the FBI?
For that particular thread, it was a derail and drive-by. It wasn't the content that was moddable, it was the context.
Maybe they had more things they could have charged Flynn with.

Yes, Republicans and third party voters should definitely turn out and vote Democratic this year to show that we as a nation are better than child kidnapping and torture.
Unless that isn't what you meant
I admit I didn't vote in 2008 even though I'd turned 18 a few months before the election. A poster said it was ingrained to them at a early age to vote I'd say my experience was the exact opposite. It wasnt until my first serious relationship with a person that was very political that I finally decided to register. 2016 was the first election I voted for and I will be back for these midterms and 2020. I can't be as politically active as I'd like but damnit I can vote so I vote.
I'd say yes. Everyone who is eligible to vote should vote for who they think is the best candidate in any given election.
Speaking of, just got my absentee ballot request form, and I'm filling it out as we speak.
There's a certain segment of the left, represented by folks like Colin Kaepernick, who feel that non-participation is the only conscionable response to an immoral system.
I very much disagree with that viewpoint, but it comes from a place of thinking that the system is so immoral and so unrepresentative that non-participation is the only way they can respond in good conscience.
I just want to summarize: The deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee told his mistress to get an abortion, then paid her $1.6m hush money in an agreement drawn up by PRESIDENT TRUMP's former fixer and personal lawyer.
I mean, come the fuck on.
I mean, come the fuck on.
Are you lecturing us? I will vote Don Jr. 2024 if I feel the least bit of lecturing. I'll vote Eric.

Though if it was me, only people with public profiles get the exhortation to vote and everyone else gets to kick rocks
You mean, "lovers." I'm sure Melania is not pleased to hear from the woman they were trading that Broidy has genital herpes.
But it's all worth it to the Evangelicals if they can get Kavanaugh to end abortion on demand!!!!
