She knowingly mishandled classified information.

 

Pretty sure she was cleared of that?

 

She may have been cleared of it but the evidence released would have seen a normal person behind bars. The DNC failed to recognise how that appeared when they continued to push for Hillary despite it.

 

You do know that as Sec. State, she had the authority to define what's classified and not? This is one of the functions of the Executive branch of government. In other words, if she deemed it not classified, it wasn't.*

*modulo special categories of data, such as Restricted Data, classified by an act of Congress, entirely not applicable here.

 

Hey Xiph. What's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls?

 

Hey, @Oz. Guess what I just did to take my mind off President Trump?

 

I would assume there's a process she must go through to declassify data. The data was classified at the time she mishandled it.

Regardless, the DNC should have seen how the public saw this and chosen someone else.

 

You think that a SOCIALIST JEW would win rural white america? That was the other choice. This is an American fuck up. Trump said to ban all people of the faith I was born in and it was always born out the polling that it was a popular idea with the majorities of Americans. This isn't a Democrat problem, this is an American problem; which I and all Muslims in America are, even though Trump ran on a platform of fuck everyone like me.

When Trump makes people like me wear badges identifying us as Muslims - which he's promised to do. Remember EMAILS.

 

This is becoming a "when trump wins," godamnit. Democratic popular vote, but it looks like trump wins by Electoral College.

 

It became "Trump has won" around the time I decided to check the polls before going to bed, about three hours ago.

 

No, there were other candidates, it's just that the DNC chose Hillary from the start.

 

I'm just gonna wait till the win is confirmed and jerk one out for Freedom. Because I can.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

The electoral college was originally created because the founding fathers didn't think their illiterate citizens could be trusted to pick the president. We have just proven them right.

I can only hope the college picks Clinton.

 

Good luck, mate. And here's hoping Dems get their shit together, and he's a one-termer.

Also, and I will repeat this wherever I need to, if HRC was such a shitty candidate, how did she turn out more blue votes in Florida than Obama 2008?

By no means a benchmark for the Midwestern states, but I'm happy to go through the numbers state by state (tomorrow) until I figure them out. (I suspect FiveThirtyEight is right: we have an unprecedented White Surge ethnic bloc in play... a bloc that only eight years ago would have been solidly behind her.)

 

I think my feelings on Brexit apply here as well. Shit happens, human nature never fails to disappoint and I'm glad I'm not around to deal with the fallout first hand.
Also, although I'm not sure about the view from other countries (that are not the US), the general feeling here is apathy with a dash of hope that Trump's walls will keep him in if they keep others out as well.

 

Hey @Oz, just wanted to ask if you're firm in your pledge?

 

He's going to have a hard time, methinks. Might need somebody to give him a hand.
