She blames “the Clintons” along the way, specifically Bill. Whatever the merits of her case (and I’m skeptical), if we look only at the political part, this isn’t good for anyone.
re: #13 Nyet
I don’t know. Trump really does have a thing for very young girls though. I can see how someone like him would use an underage “party girl” for laughs and then have her shut up and warned to stay shut up.
I know from some very personal sources that this sort of thing is going on in top 1% communities like St Simon’s Island in Georgia. Girls under 16 are popular.

They called the liberal guy an Internet meme generator.
Trump has denied Jane Doe’s claims and his reps have said he barely knew Epstein—even though New York media in the ’90s regularly chronicled his comings-and-goings at Epstein’s Upper East Side palace, and even though Epstein had 14 private numbers for Trump and his family in his little black book. Meanwhile, Bill and Hillary Clinton have remained mum about their ties to the Palm Beach pedophile—despite evidence that shows Bill was one of the most famous and frequent passengers on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” and that Epstein donated money to the Clinton Foundation even after his conviction.
Nobody looks good. And that’s why we won’t see the Epstein-related attacks from both campaigns.

For a guy that complains Hillary, Bill, Democrats, and so much more is stuck in the past…Trump sure is stuck in the past. Jordan was Jordan and that period is over.
LeBron is a totally different type of player and part of the game as it is played now…which includes a lot more team/zone types of defense that Jordan never saw.
But then Trump wants to bring up both of the Clinton’s past, but doesn’t want anyone looking into his.

She says she has a witness who can back some of this up. Unless these people come forward and are able to give specific details that are not to be found in earlier print media, this isn’t going to be credible enough to move on, however creepy Donald is about young girls.
Stece Deace, not one of our favorite people, tells Christians that voting for Trump is a very dangerous game.
So what made David a man after God’s own heart? That despite all his documented shortcomings, David in the end sought God’s forgiveness and repentance when confronted with “Thou art the man.” Trump, by his own admission, does not have a repentant heart. He has not sought God’s forgiveness, because he doesn’t think he needs it. Thus, the King David-Trump comparisons are flawed exegesis and should cease here.
Furthermore, the Scriptures make clear the qualifications for public office:
Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
There is simply no way to avoid the conclusion that Trump violates every syllable of these requirements.
Now that we’ve addressed the biblical case, what about the moral one?
Trump is a scam artist.
Trump is a gossip.
Trump is a slanderer.
Trump is a misogynist.
Trump is an adulterer.
Trump is a deceiver.
Trump is a liar.
Other than that, Trump seems like a righteous dude.

For everyone who was bawling their eyes out over beloved pets on Friday afternoon:
The magpie that saved a family
Sam Bloom fell into a deep depression after a fall from a roof terrace during a family holiday left her paralysed from the chest down. But help was to come from an unexpected source - a magpie chick which had fallen from its nest. When the family took in the bird, it brought joy back to their home and allowed Sam to make a new start.Sam Bloom doesn’t remember falling. The last thing she remembers is admiring the view from the terrace of their hotel in Thailand.
It was January 2013 and she was on a family holiday with husband, Cameron, and their three young boys in a small coastal village on the Andaman Sea.
After a morning swim in the sea they discovered the hotel had a rooftop terrace and all bounded up the stairs to take in their surroundings.
Suddenly Cameron heard a tremendous crash. He turned around and Sam was gone - as was the railing she had been leaning against. […]
Just wanted to drop that off. Over & out.

Talk about double-edged swords. Yes, it’s good that the Republicans have exposed themselves as the bigoted crap stains they have been for decades, dropping their pretense of civilization.
However, the GOP thus exposed is not looking like it will lose nearly as severely as they should (i.e., 0 states in the electoral college, < 30% of the popular vote).

6. Kek, cucks, and meme-magic. The Church of Kek is a satirical religion that worships the ancient, androgynous Egyptian deity Kek: god of chaos, darkness, and “meme-magic,” which is a “metapolitical prayer and will to power,” according to one Alt-Right blogger, represented by Pepe the Frog, an Internet meme originating in Matt Furie’s web comic Boy’s Club. Confused? It actually makes more sense than you might think. Kek really is an ancient Egyptian deity of darkness represented as a frog-headed man, Alt-Right members are tech-savvy and active primarily on the Internet, and “kek” translates to “lol” in comment boards of the multiplayer videogame World of Warcraft, while Pepe the Frog epitomizes online meme humor.

Trump’s is a losing tactic.

And that experience means people want to listen to them speak, and pay high prices for the opportunity. There’s a Clinton “brand”, and then there’s the Trump brand. One is slightly tarnished; the other is corroded and corrupted.
And the “global real estate empire” is a joke. Trump creates golf courses and puts his name on other people’s buildings. He’s opening himself up for countermeasures with that assertion, too.

They actually seem to think that because a newspaper is located in what is called a Red State that the newspaper staff owes an obligation to them to endorse the candidates the right-wing nuts want them to endorse. For many of them, this is the first time they’re discovering that, GASP, other people in Texas don’t agree with them on who is the better presidential candidate. They got on the first Trump Crazy Train last year, and they’ve convinced themselves that he is the answer to all of their prayers, and as he said recently, that he can give them everything they’ve ever wanted or wished for.

Pilot landing on Lake Hazeltine ‘most imbecilic thing’ police chief has ever seen
The pilot of a small plane received a low-tech police escort off Lake Hazeltine on Sunday when he landed on the water abutting Hazeltine National Golf Club, dropped anchor and attempted to watch the final matches of the Ryder Cup.
Officers had to use oars to paddle the man to shore after the motor failed on the fire department boat they were using, police said.
City law makes the lake off limits during any event, said Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight.
…
A passenger in the plane was also escorted off the lake and cited. In addition to being cited for violating city ordinance, the pilot was also reported to the FAA Flight Standards Service, which sets standards for certification and oversight of pilots, Knight said.

I paid a visit to his blog, to see what latest BS he has up. Several articles repeating all the rumors about Alicia Machado’s past, and one impugning an ICE officer who Rage Furby claims greased the wheels for Machado to get her citizenship. Guess what? The officer is both Hispanic *and* Jewish. Clearly, something is up. ///

Just another reason why I won’t open a Faceplant account. As far as the libertarian dudebro that runs it (Zuckerberg) cares, as long as it generates clicks (money), it is within the rules.
My stalker ex-wife took to LinkedIn once to go after my boss at my publisher, claiming I was behind on child support (my son is twenty-eight). She demanded from him that he put pressure on me to give her money. (For the record, I paid all my child support, even when I lost my home to a tornado, even when I was homeless.)
LinkedIn would not either ban her or warn her, for the same reason (money). My boss is no longer on LinkedIn.
He told her to stop harassing him, and that it would be good if she did not harass my wife or me either (she did that a lot when we lived in Oklahoma).
The real issue is she is just bad with money and debt, and she continually looks to me to bail her out. (She lost her 100K a year job and her riverfront home in the economic downturn.) She will harass any friend I have on social media trying to get them to come after me for money. (My entire family left social media over that.)

LOL to Benjy Sarlin at NBC:
With under six weeks to go before Election Day, polls had yet to fully digest the impact of the debate before Trump was buried by basket after basket of deplorable headlines.
Analysis: Trump May Have Had the Worst Week in Presidential Campaign History
The article lays out all those details.
It notes that Mr. Trump has blocked off time in his schedule to prepare for the next debate, something he probably should have done for the first one. Nigel Farage offered debate tips to Mr. Trump, but Mr. Farage appears to still be in England:
“What you’ve got to do, Donald, is talk to people sitting at home in their living rooms. Don’t get involved in a cat fight with Hillary,” Farage told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
“Whatever abuse she throws at you, ignore her. Don’t defend yourself. There’s no point. There isn’t time,” he added.
The former UKIP leader also told Zakaria that his No. 1 piece of advice for the Republican presidential candidate was “don’t let her get under your skin.”
Farage compared Trump’s presidential campaign and his own anti-elitist, populist appeal that fueled to the successful Brexit movement.
“The reason Brexit happened was a very large number of people who had not voted in previous elections, or in some cases, had never voted in their lives, went out to vote against the establishment,” Farage said.
Here is Chuck’s proposed billboard:

Moonman
Is a rapper founded on Youtube who uploads racist rants about Jews, n*****s, Spics, and Arabs. Moonman has made many Albums such as White $upremacy and WhiteTopia. His Videos have been removed from youtube, but fans keep re-uploading his songs to keep the Moonman Belief still going.
“Moonman, Moonman Can’t you see, Spics and n*****s need to hang from trees and I just love your racist way, That’s why their mom is so black and you’re so great.” - From Notorious KKK
re: #44 Nyet
I think the title led me in a direction the article itself did not. While I am kinda certain that could have been done for less money, the ‘controversial’ part seems to be that a British firm did it, not an American, not that the firm or the program themselves were somehow out of the norm.

It’s a juvenile cartoon and will make for a ridiculous billboard, but alt righters seems to have no self-awareness.

Got it. A couple of other lizards explained it to me. Alt righters are retconning it to associate it with some Egyptian frog-man god.
First Cuba, and now Iran.
Donald Trump’s real estate organization rented New York office space from 1998 to 2003 to an Iranian bank that U.S. authorities have linked to terrorist groups and Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump inherited Bank Melli, one of Iran’s largest state-controlled banks, as a tenant when he purchased the General Motors Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, according to public records reviewed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and the Center for Public Integrity. The Trump Organization kept the bank on as a tenant for four more years after the U.S. Treasury Department designated Bank Melli in 1999 as being controlled by the Iranian government.
U.S. officials later alleged that Bank Melli had been used to obtain sensitive materials for Iran’s nuclear program. U.S. authorities also alleged that the bank had been used between 2002 and 2006 to funnel money to a unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that has sponsored terrorist attacks — a period that overlapped with the time the bank rented office space from Trump.
The Trump Organization’s dealings with the Iranian bank shed more light on Trump’s wide-ranging business interests, which sometimes stand at odds with his blunt declarations on the campaign trail. Trump has denounced Iran as a “big enemy,” blasted Hillary Clinton for not taking a harder line against the Iranian regime and charged that donations from foreign governments to the Clinton Foundation amounted to evidence of corruption. His five-year stint as Bank Melli’s landlord provides an example of the Trump Organization itself doing business with a government hostile to the United States.

It’s odd how completely unconnected things come together sometimes.
Are there any lizards in the Miami-Dade area? I’d like someone to verify whether Rage Furby’s “court document” about Alicia Machado’s daughter is legit.
He published a declaration of domicile with the Miami-Dade clerk’s office, but something about it seems off to me. For one thing, I can’t find the notary public listed on 123notary.com. And the handwriting seems pretty sloppy.

A declaration of domicile. I presume since the daughter was 6 years old at the time, the form was necessary to enrol her in school. Her mother signed it. Rage Furby is claiming that the girl’s full name, Dinorah Valentina Alvarez Machado, proves her father was Jose Gerardo Alvarez. Her mother, however, says the father was Rafael Hernandez.

with no tax burden to hold him back, based on republican-speak, in the last 20 years he should have created hundreds, thousands, even millions of jobs

We’re talking about a man who literally was employed by Breitbart and was one of their top guys not to mention a guy who was a personal friend of Milo’s.it was in fact Ben that had no problem with the alt-right until they went after him. He doesn’t deserve antisemitic attacks but he is part of that machine no matter how hard he tries to deny it. Coulter is just a hateful woman. She’s like CCJ. Really hates women and especially minorities who get in her ideology’s way. Of the three, I think Shapiro may be the most “normal” but that’s not saying a lot.

re: #234 dangerman
ok so trump says he hasnt actually built or constructed anything in quite a while
spends most of his time licensing his name / brand
and (lets assume) he hasnt actually paid income taxes in 20 or so years
and he says he is wealthy - gold plated everything
with no tax burden to hold him back, based on republican-speak, in the last 20 years he should have created hundreds, thousands, even millions of jobs
if he did, where are they?
if he didnt, then it wasnt because of income taxes - and specifically income taxes, because that’s all the republicans talk about - its the irs, the federal tax code - not sales tax, property tax, state taxes.
There’s plenty of evidence that Trump understates the value of his properties so he can pay less in property taxes, while inflating their value in order to borrow money or brag about his vast wealth.

yes ive read that, so lets pile them back on because i specifically excluded property taxes
trump is effective in fighting his property taxes and getting them lowered.
so on top of is not paying federal (and probably state) individual income taxes, hes also managed to reduce his business’s tax expenses.
same question: where’s the jobs?

so i’ll summarize:
no matter how you analyze trumps not paying income taxes, or fighting to lower his property taxes, or stiffing vendors and contractors and so “saving” all that money;
NONE of that accumulated “wealth” has or is going into creating significant numbers of jobs (if any)
this eviscerates the R argument about cutting (federal) taxes for the rich creating jobs
trump should be the D poster child for demonstrating what the 1% will do if their taxes are cut

Yahoo reconfigured a little while ago and there news page opens now where I used to go straight to my mailbox. I think I need to see if I can figure out how to change that,

Washington Examiner - Clinton cancels joint events with Sanders
By Jeremy Lott • 10/2/16 10:15 PM
The Hillary Clinton campaign has canceled joint appearances with former primary opponent Bernie Sanders after he admitted that “of course” it bothered him that Clinton seemed to be talking down to his supporters in hacked audio from a fundraiser.
The two were set to have joint appearance together Monday. Instead, Sanders will appear in both Iowa and Wisconsin on Monday to boost her candidacy without her.
Clinton is now scheduled to swing through Iowa later in the week, but possibly without Sanders, who was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if it bothered him that Clinton had referred to his younger supporters as “the children of the great recession” who “live in their parents’ basement” to Democratic Party donors.
“Well look, of course it does,” said Sanders, but he went on to rationalize it by saying “So we have differences. There’s nothing to be surprised about. That’s what a campaign is all about.”
It was a show of solidarity by Sanders after GOP nominee Donald Trump had made a play for his voters the night before, at a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump interpreted Clinton’s remarks to mean that she saw Sanders supporters as “ignorant basement-dwellers,” among other things.
The plan had been to show off that progressive solidarity on the campaign trail but now that will have to wait for another day.

Just watched this, Obama schooling journalistic cubs on the importance of civic engagement. It’s funny how much it comports with Michelle Obama’s ribbing of him on Colbert’s show just recently. In the anecodote, Obama was asked (by Malia, I think) about some policy or other, Michelle started in a pretty funny impression of her husband, ‘Well, Malia, I’m glad you asked that…’ going on to answer the question at length and in clearly delineated points.
That’s how Bill Clinton speaks too.
It’s how good, curious, inquisitive and ethically-consistent presidents speak.
It’s how Hillary Clinton speaks now.
I thought I’d share it because whenever I hear about how Clinton seems over-prepared as a criticism, I see what the office of President does to the linear thinking of intelligent people.
And, goddammit, she’s already there.

There will be demons declaring all kinds of falsehoods testing everyone’s political religion, causing people that are ordinarily sane to spew all kinds of nonsense and everyone’s eyes will see stuff that is not there.
With the possession of the already over-the-top Trump this is going to get really ugly.
I saw earlier additional reports that the Trump kids are starting to lose it even more. The past week hasn’t been easy on them and they are worried about their futures due to the unstable old man and what he is doing to the business, etc.
Hard to feel sorry for them though. Surly they have had to see he has been a real piece of work all along in their lives. I guess all the public scrutiny has been a revelation that maybe no longer allows them to be in denial.

Like the last two elections, the “We’re totally not in the tank for the Republicans” media crowd are now put in the position of coming up with increasingly labyrinthine ways that their chosen candidate could retake the initiative and totally win in a convincing way.

I find her very refreshing and it shows there is always new ways to present guitar driven songs. Which just happens to be my favorite style of music, even if I like all types. Give me a couple of jangling guitars, a drummer and bass…maybe add in some other stuff like keyboards, a horn or additional percussion, but as long as the core guitar band is there I am all in!
One of the few highlights of this election for me has been watching Mark Cuban repeatedly troll Trump. Cuban is a jackass, but when he sets his mind on something, he goes for it:

Because most of the people were like those on Dancing with the Stars…they were once big stars who’s light was fading. The Apprentice, like DWTS, is a career reboot. You don’t cut off your own nose to spite your face when your career is on the line.
This is exactly like how women deal with sexism in any other workplace. When someone holds your career on the line, most people do not have the Ivanka Trump option to just go somewhere else, especially when that job is the only thing keeping a roof over your head or food in your stomach.

i would argue though that it is everyone’s right to challenge their property tax assessment if they want
and to use some sort of deflated market value as a factor in challenging the tax base value (lets not go too far afield re assessed vs market value etc)
if the challenge were successful it would then *not* be appropriate to continue to brag about and use different, higher claims of market values to inflate one’s net worth when boasting about that

Just watched this, Obama schooling journalistic cubs on the importance of civic engagement. It’s funny how much it comports with Michelle Obama’s ribbing of him on Colbert’s show just recently. In the anecodote, Obama was asked (by Malia, I think) about some policy or other, Michelle started in a pretty funny impression of her husband, ‘Well, Malia, I’m glad you asked that…’ going on to answer the question at length and in clearly delineated points.
That’s how Bill Clinton speaks too.
It’s how good, curious, inquisitive and ethically-consistent presidents speak.
It’s how Hillary Clinton speaks now.
I thought I’d share it because whenever I hear about how Clinton seems over-prepared as a criticism, I see what the office of President does to the linear thinking of intelligent people.

Here is a link to a Washington Post article that quotes him.
WaPo - The New York Times risked legal trouble to publish Donald Trump’s tax return
Dean Baquet wasn’t bluffing.
The New York Times executive editor said during a visit to Harvard in September that he would risk jail to publish Donald Trump’s tax returns. He made good on his word Saturday night when the Times published Trump tax documents from 1995, which show the Republican presidential nominee claimed losses of $916 million that year — enough to avoid paying federal income taxes for as many as 18 years.

This diminishment of the psychological effects of war show to whom Trump is speaking. Those whose own psychological well-being is only well-served when the nation is at war and seen to be ‘kicking-arse’.
The generation of men and women coming home broken if they came home at all was purely a symbolic sacrifice to them.
They had a fetish stick in the shape of a shattered human being into which they could infuse their own violent preoccupation.
The existence of that fetish stick was so horrendously awful to the rest of us, that we naturally imbued the wounded soldier with our own desires. To see a war ended. To maybe see a desirable conflict resolved in a way that honored their sacrifice. Because war is not an end unto itself.
What Trump wants is a level of fear that plunges us into another horrid conflict whose vortex sucks into itself the desire of the decent to see that those who serve are well-recompensed.
At bottom: the conservative drive is to use our own best instincts, those of self-sacrifice and civil-betterment against us, by driving up the sunk-cost again like Bush did in 2003.
There is no mental-health issue, to them. There is only defeatism.

I’m thinking Kaine is going to pummel Pence already. If they get real nasty with him, then Kaine is really going to go off. He comes off as the fatherly type, but I think he could really get pissed off and just open a can of word-whip-ass. He seems much quicker on his feet than Pence.
Hmm…I’m wondering if Pence is saying “NO, NO NO!!! I have to debate him tomorrow.”
Kaine can handle Pence. He’s had plenty of assholes like him before here in Va- Jerry Kilgore and George Allen.

Ky man defends home with AR-15 by shooting at woman walking her dog, whom he mistook for a scary clown. https://t.co/s3OuqKNevO ^JC
— Bluegrass Politics (@BGPolitics) October 3, 2016
A man used his AR-15 gun to scare a woman wearing a white afghan Monday after mistaking her for clown, according to a citation from the Bardstown Police Department.
According to the citation, a woman was walking her dog down Burlington Court wearing a white afghan when a man yelled at her and then fired an AR-15.
The man, Adam Tingle, said his wife was outside when she thought she saw a clown, so Tingle came out and yelled at the individual, according to the citation. The woman did not move after being yelled at, so Tingle fired one shot from his AR-15 rifle in an attempt to scare her. Tingle’s wife then called 911 to report the incident.
According to the citation, Tingle said he was scared for his family because of recent criminal activities involving clowns.

It’s possible the person who originally acquired the docs and sent it to the Times did something illegal to get them, they could be in trouble for it. The Times is not. (see Pentagon Papers.)
If it was Marla, she had every right to those documents, and every legal right to release them if she wanted. If she violated an NDA from her divorce, there’ll be a financial cost but no criminal action (and her GoFundMe will cover the financial cost).

yes, but the incident in Bardstown Kentucky described by the article actually happened.
After Michael Reagan coming out for Hillary, another conservative named Micheal endorses her. This one, I never wold have expected - Michael Chertoff.
The man who served as the lead Republican prosecutor for the congressional Whitewater investigation now has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
“I realized we spent a huge amount of time in the ’90s on issues that were much less important than what was brewing in terms of terrorism,” Michael Chertoff told Eli Lake, a columnist for Bloomberg View, over the weekend.
[…]
Chertoff was also one of 50 Republican national security signatories on a letter condemning Trump’s “erratic” behavior and claiming the Republican nominee “has little understanding of America’s national interests.”
Trump, Chertoff said, is proposing “making enemies of your friends and cozying up to your adversaries,” while Clinton would be “clear eyed and tough on national security issues.”

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a 2010 United States federal law to enforce the requirement for United States persons including those living outside the U.S. to file yearly reports on their non-U.S. financial accounts to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN). It requires all non-U.S. (foreign) financial institutions (FFIs) to search their records for indicia indicating U.S. person-status and to report the assets and identities of such persons to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.[1] The FATCA was the revenue-raising portion of the 2010 domestic jobs stimulus bill, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act,[2][3] and was enacted as Subtitle A (sections 501 through 541) of Title V of that law.
On January 24, 2014, the Republican National Committee passed a resolution calling for the repeal of FATCA.

Heh, saw everyone talking about all the scary clowns.
My buddy that I play guitar, write songs and jam with on Friday nights had his own “scare.” He works at a school system that is part of the school in this article, Columbus Southwest Schools. It happened in Grove City Ohio a suburb community just a bit south west of Columbus.
NBC 4i - Grove City Police say ‘no threat’ after scary clown social media post
GROVE CITY, OH (WCMH) — Police in Grove City say there was no credible threat after a social media post threatened students Friday morning.
According to the Grove City Division of Police, the social media post threatened “scary clowns” were going to cause a problem at a district school.
After investigating, police say there was no threat to the schools, but officers did provide additional security.
“Thanks to the strong relationship between the community and the Grove City Division of Police, information was shared quickly, allowing a thorough investigation and a positive outcome.”
The South-Western City School District released the following statement in regards to the social media post:
“The safety and security of our students is one of our highest priorities. Overnight, the Grove City Police Department received a number of calls from parents, who were concerned about some inappropriate and potentially threatening social media posts. The Grove City Police Department identified the original source of the posts and officers conducted a threat assessment. We are confident that our staff and students are as safe today as any other school day.”
As a precautionary measure, the Grove City Police Department will have an increased presence at Central Crossing High School today. Thank you.
Video at link.
Here is the funny part that my friend shared. He said the school he works at got a call from the police and they had to go into protective mode, basically for no reason at all. One parent in a panic called and said she wanted her kid pulled and sent home as she heard there were clowns in the trees outside the school.
My buddy said the trees outside the school, which was just opened brand spanking new last year, were all of six foot tall and could neither hide nor support someone.
I swear this country is wigging out. Clowns??? Really. I fear a real crisis should ever come, so many will be frozen in place and pissing themselves.

The number of Americans renouncing their citizenship has risen each year since the enactment of the FATCA, from just 1,006 in 2010 to 3,415 in 2014[254] and 4,279 in 2015.[255] Among those who renounced their citizenship was the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who did so after the IRS taxed the sale of his house in London.[254] Due to the rise in applications and resulting backlog, the fee for renouncing citizenship was raised by roughly 400 percent in 2015 to $2,350.
This whole election could be about taxes.
ROGER STONE: [WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange] also shed light on the murder of Seth Rich, the young Democratic National Committee employee who was shot three times in the back. Who Assange publicly identified as his source, essentially. Interesting that the same website that announces Assange isn’t going to drop anything goes on to say that there’s no reason to believe that Rich’s murder was anything but a botched robbery. Actually there’s no reason to believe it was a botched robbery. His wallet, his watch and his cash was untouched. This was an assassination because he knew too much. So yes, I think what Assange has will roil the waters, will change the whole complexion of the race.
Looks like he’s stepped into Alex Jones conspiracy waters.
