***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I agree sometimes bill does go at the liberals, but most of the time it's very circle jerky on that show.

Hardball is the most circle jerk show on television. It didn't used to be as bad either. They don't even have a conservative perspective most times anymore. And when they do, they have a moron.

I like morning joe alot but they are basically just a straight politics show and treat it like sports. No in depth coverage of issues really. Just the horse race. And they are up trumps *** lol

In the same brief, the DOJ referred to the investigation of Mrs. Clinton as a law enforcement proceeding.

“reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”

That was the first public acknowledgment by the DOJ that it is investigating criminal behavior — a law enforcement proceeding — and it directly contradicts Mrs. Clinton's oft-repeated assertions that the FBI investigation is merely a routine review of the State Department's classification procedures.

This gonna be good!

What is U.S. electricity generation by energy source?
In 2015, the United States generated about 4 trillion kilowatthours of electricity.1 About 67% of the electricity generated was from fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum).

Major energy sources and percent share of total U.S. electricity generation in 2015:1

Coal = 33%
Natural gas = 33%
Nuclear = 20%
Hydropower = 6%
Other renewables = 7%
Biomass = 1.6%

I think the Clintons are filthy rich too.

Also they already have all the perks and power of being an ex-White House family. Really the Clintons have little to gain from being in the White House again. So one could make the argument that only incumbents and family members of ex-Presidents can be trusted to be President because only they can be selfless.

It's that greedy Drumpf who is after the power of the White House (in the same way you claim politicians are being bought by donations to their campaign). We can't trust him.

And don't get me started on his cronyism and nepotism. Far worse than we've ever experienced from a President in the past 100 years. It will take this nation decades to recover from a Drumpf presidency.

I could see him erase all the progress made by Ronald Reagan and Abe Lincoln with just one term.

edit: making exaggerated claims and insinuating criminality without proof is easy and fun.

Da Clintons are rich from donations from special interests groups and foreign Countries buying influence.. You CANT be serious.

 

[whywesteppin]

why would a criminal return to the scene of a crime and put the entire spotlight on themselves? why invite scrutiny if the clintons are as criminal as some of you claim?

does not compute.

or is this like the mafia? you can never really leave?

 

[rolaholic]

Just read the bottom of that post,got me

 

[wubalubadubdub]

It's about money and power. What do you want the clintons to do, knit sweaters and netflix and chill?

No american political family has made more off their political influence than the clintons. It's not even an argument.

But if the choice is trump i doubt anyone really cares.

Real Time is just as bad as a right wing show that just preaches to their audience.

They always have 3 liberals and one conservative on, and everyone bashes the conservative, the audience applauds, Bill insults religious people, rinse, repeat.

Not really related, but over the last few years I started to see that show for what it really was. Just a liberal circle-jerk.

I dunno Bill goes at liberals alot more than other shows. I've seen him complain about safe spaces, liberals patting themselves on the back for protesting things just so they can feel better than themselves, the battery lewindoski nonsense, liberals hating all religion and then doing mental gymnastics to defend problems in islamic nations etc.

He isn't as interesting in the obama era bit neither was john stewart

Yeah the whole safe space, refuse to say Islamic terrorism/radical Islam, realizing a sizeable amount of Muslims agree with radicals, college students feeling threatened by Trump support, thinking x won't win which will give Democratic voters cause to not show up and vote, etc.

He's ended shows ******** on liberals.

I agree that white progressives conveniently sidestep speaking about racism in favor of economic justice. I remember going to San Francisco for the first time a couple of months ago and being horrified by how elitist it was. One of the most liberal cities in America is also the most gentrified. http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2...tion-climate-change-sierra-club-san-francisco

I can see how progressivism could be just as systematically racist as an plan the tea party can muster.

I was in full support of BLM pushing Bernie Sanders to speak on race, up to that point I didn't care for him. I thought he did a decent job addressing it. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, came off as dismissive. 

I don't think the general election is a good guide to who will address systematic racism.

but he still wants to build a wall

I'm eating tacos, look guys I love hispanics!

what a condescending pile of **** he is.

 

[ijumpmani]

No no no you've got it all wrong.

The taco bowl is symbolic of the wall as it is protecting everything that's great on the inside (i.e. America).

Progressives could essentially be seen as worse than Tea Party cats for the simple fact that they don't think that they are a part of systematic racism but their denial is the epitome of it

They are definitely pushing the economic equality for (white) women and acceptance and a lot of rights for transgender people to ignore what's going on. How many unarmed transgendered people have died at the hands of the police?

Trump is such a savage man

Damn, I don't see this though. I agree edit:MOST progressives don't have a nuanced understanding of systematic racism. Comparing them to the tea party and supporting police brutality, is taking it too far. Just because a person is white and living in a big liberal city doesn't mean they're a liberal or progressive. 

NY is considered a liberal city but constantly votes in moderate republican mayors. 

This is all interesting though. I have similar thoughts on the issue.

Power b....da Clintons are power hungry, as are da Bushs, and any political elite ruling family.

Hillary stayed with Bill after da Monica scandal for Political power.

Are we seriously gonna forgot she's under federal investigation for allegedly peddling government secrets for da highest bidder?
