OK, I had to go with this.
Personally, I’d rather go with another essay, one entitled “Gangster Governance” but events are rapidly spinning out of control. That being said, we don’t have to be snarky and salacious but the endemic corruption of the Clinton campaign can’t be divorced from her personal immorality and venality.
It’s all of a piece if you ask me. I mean, look at what we found out the other day from Wikileaks: that her flunkies have to “sober her up” at 4:30 in the afternoon! My God! I know alcoholics and drunkards who have the decency to wait until 5:00 pm before they take their first drink! And here she is besotted by the mid-afternoon.
Then there are the perverts that she surrounds herself with –Anthony Wiener being the most egregious example, her husband being another. Then there are credible allegations of lesbianism on her part (credible if you believe Yoko Ono).
More will come out in due time. More will be written about later but time constraints on my part are overriding at this point. For now, I’d like to finish with this point: it’s ironic that the first Clinton Administration was enabled by an October Surprise when the Justice Department indicted Caspar Weinberger while now the second (erstwhile) Clinton Administration is likewise impeded by an indictment from the Justice Department.
Hillary even went to this pervert’s wedding! Sad!

TIM KAINE!! TIM FREAKING KAINE?!! Take a look at that goofy picture of Tim Kaine. THAT GOOFBALL, with the face smashed against the window staring at Horses might be your next President!
Bill Clinton’s impeachment didn’t remove him from office, But Hillary’s impeachment will, if elected, because she will be in prison. These are definitely strange days we live in.
Of course if you want our country to avoid the shame it will face, with impeachment and imprisonment of our President, and Goofy Timmy Kaine as our President, not to mention other world leaders taking advantage of us in the weak position we will be in, VOTE TRUMP!
Dino, not a real picture. Photoshopped. Big mistake to believe a thing George says or posts here. He couldn’t care less about the difference between true and false, real and fake. Obviously.
Photoshopped or not. I don’t want Kaine as my prez. Might as well just bring out clowns, and watch the world mock and laugh!
What grounds do you have for a vile comment like that?
Professor, Councilman, Mayor, Governor, Senator Kaine is one of the most decent and best-liked career public servants in Virginia and Washington, almost universally respected on both sides of the aisle. Your comment is mindless and offensive.
Mike Myers, Goofy is now vile? I hope Timmy is not as thin skinned as you. Just the fact that you say Kaine plays on both sides of the isle is reason enough to vote for Trump. Mindless is letting Washington continue as it has, with friendly Senators working on both sides of the isle ,screwing us. Offensive is the continuation of our Government using our tax dollars to abort babies.
Didn’t say Senator Kaine “plays on both sides of the isle.” I said reports are that he’s well-liked and respected by almost everyone who knows him, in both parties. I meant — as a man, a human being, as a good guy. That’s different. Now, he does have political enemies as does anyone there who thinks government should partly be about helping protect the weak from the contingently rich and powerful, and shielding the well-informed, decent, generous in mind and heart from the massed stupidity of the ignorant and mean-spirited, and worse.
Evidently you were unaware that the US government is prohibited by law from using tax revenue to pay for abortions and has been since 1976. See the Hyde Amendment and various pieces of legislation passed since then.
In a somewhat gray area, I’m confused why many want to gang up on a recipient of federal funds such as Planned Parenthood, which is a provider of a wide range of health care to millions of American women. Is it because the organization also performs some abortions? Most non-Catholic hospitals perform abortions, too, and most of them receive grants and subsidies of various kinds from the states and federal government. Do you want to cut off all of these hospitals and health care providers from federal funds as well?
Your hysteria of moral indignation seems quite misinformed. Your comments unjustly trashing a fine man are still stupid and offensive, and in fact you’ve only managed to dig yourself deeper by doubling down on them. And to forthrightly state your preference for a man like Trump over Timothy Kaine is another example of the sort of depraved judgment we expect from people cozy in Michalopulos’s demented mini-idiocracy of delusion and moral cretinism.
SAD!!!
Mike,
I’m certain there are many politicians who are well-liked and even respected by their colleagues. Truth be told, although I do not know them personally, there are some politicians who hold views opposite my own that I nevertheless respect and think I would enjoy sharing a beer with.
But I cannot think of one politician who compromised his once firm, religion-based pro-life convictions for political profit that didn’t lose his soul in the process and gradually become a shell of his former self. Not one.
Touche.
May I add that part of the problem (may I add in his defense?) that as a Jesuit-trained Liberation theologian, Tim Kaine was never serious about his Catholicism?
Mike Myers, Sad is that Kaine is now your only hope as prez. Sadder is that Planned Parenthood has murdered about 350,000 babies. Saddest is our Government gives Planned Parenthood close to $400,000 per year. Tax payer dollars also go to medicaid. If you don’t believe the money is manipulated to pay for abortions, or keep Planned Parenthood afloat in other services, so that they can give out free/cheap abortions, well then you probably also believe Hillary doesn’t manipulate the system to line her pockets by selling government favors.
If you don’t believe your buddy Timmy had no idea how corrupt Clinton was before joining her ticket, well that’s sad too. Your good old boy Kaine is more than happy to ride the coattails of a criminal, and traitor, so that he can continue up the political/pubic servant ladder. What a moral man! What a patriot he is.NOT! He is not even moral enough to stand up for his religious beliefs, abortion is ok with him, as long as he can hold public office. Truly a wishy washy, spineless, luke warm Christian. Most of us know what our savior thought of the luke warm types.
Perhaps you should re-examine your judgement, before judging others.
Don’t be so sure, Dino. There has been some exposure of planned news-stories complete with pre-printed graphics showing the numbers for a HRC victory. It’s gotten down to the precinct level in some states.
The Deep State has no doubt rigged this election based on a razor-thin, Bush/Gore 2000 basis. Hence the heavy oversampling of Democrats (blacks especially) in the official polls.
If it is a matter of having faith in the American people or American democracy, then we are all doomed. So, one way or another, I’m not really concerned with what the polls say, despite believing that many of them err in their sampling to tilt Democrat.
To me it comes down to what the powers that be behind the powers we see decide regarding the prospect of a Hillary presidency. If it looks too ugly to them and too dangerous to their anonymous hold on power, they will make sure she is defeated. If not, she may prevail.
Yet again, for me, the really terrible thing is that it came to this. The fact that this monster (HRC) won the nomination and came this close. The fact that the Republicans could not come up with a less volatile version of Trump without his major negatives concerning women.
It all has sideshow, Jerry Springer, written all over it. I am ashamed of America, of the American people and of the American system of government. The culture is garbage and the people are not fit to govern themselves, if they ever were.
What comes next is a matter of indifference to me so long as I have a way to escape to greener pastures.
George, your off topic, but where did you read this? Hope your misinformed, but like I have said before ,these are strange days we live in, and dangerous!
If your info is true, then we can only pray for a landslide, so as their rigging would be easily exposed, and not even attempted.
George don’t be surprised if the American people have finally awaken, and in the privacy of the voting both, vote Trump. Our country has achieved great things, when pushed into a corner.
Once again, you’re misinformed about federal law and Medicaid — unless you feel it’s Dino’s business, or the government’s business, to tell a poor woman who got pregnant by rape or incest that God and the state command her to carry that pregnancy to term, and taxes may not pay to end it. Or it’s Dino’s business to inform her that He forbids ending a pregnancy very likely or certain to kill or maim her. I don’t know, maybe you are such a fanatic, and imagine that you as a man know God’s will for a woman’s life in such tragic circumstances. Are you that guy? Anyway, whatever you are, you should know that those are the only cases when Medicaid can legally cover abortion.
Already told you why most hospitals and many health care clinics would lose all federal and state funds, if they too were to be forced into compliance with your moral and economic principles. I guess you’re good with that, when most of them barely survive as it is in our demented health care market economy? If not, you’d need to rethink your arbitrary principles. The additional self-righteous bluster and indignation in your second, even more economically and ethically unhinged retort did nothing to advance the case for your shallow position.
I gave up trying to reason with people who rave like you about HRC a long time ago. Y’all are simply deranged slanderers on the subject and seem impervious to sanity and facts. She’s going to win, though, and probably by more than you’d think, so try not to lose it completely.
As usual, liberals don’t mind at all telling people what to believe as long as it’s in their (liberal’s) interests. For example, I just read where churches in Massachusetts will have to Latrine Orderly when it comes to trannies and accommodate 40-year-old men who self-identify as “females” as to their bathroom preferences. Then there’s Mdme Clinton lecturing people about how they are “wrong” about traditionalist beliefs.
I guess I can paraphrase Will Rogers: “We’re all totalitarians,* just on different subjects.” I just wish that the Proglibs had the common decency to admit that they’re totalitarian and that they’re going to force their beliefs on the Proles for their own good. Good Lord, at least try to be as fair and open about your beliefs as the Bolsheviks were.
*Rogers used the word ignorant but you get the point.
Then there’s this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgheRzhCTkc
George, we can’t walk too far down the road of decrying some folks telling other folks how to live.
In Christian cultures Christian behavior is required, pagan cultures, pagan behavior and nihilist cultures (the “progressive”folks) require the behavior that leads to death and darkness.
Fact is most folks, including me, need someone to tell them how to live and even have such things codified into law.
Isn’t that the foundation of all law codes?
It is not the telling that is bad. Governments have that authority and we humans need it.
It is the content of the commands; whether they actually reflect the created order or are solely modeled on sin.
As Christians, we are supposed to have God’s order imprinted on our hearts and act in accord with it no matter how the world is structured. That is part of what it means to be in the world, but not of it.
That is the crux of the matter–pun intended.
Among other things it requires us to give praise to God for all things, living with joy, mercy and humility but not passively not in fear nor anger.
It is in our obedience (to God) that we are free. To the extent that we allow any ideology to replace or supercede God, we enslave ourselves. All politics is based in ideology because it is of the world. The more we serve Mammon, the darker we become. Our own history shows us this.
Thus, I had to back away from the politics and eschew it altogether, pray and listen before I could decide to vote this time around. The process is not yet complete.
May God have mercy on our land.
Because I suggest rethinking arbitrary and shallow arguments based on premises that contradict basic facts, I’m telling people what to believe? You’re ridiculous. You aren’t entitled to your own facts. It isn’t totalitarian to point out that sometimes what people “believe” may be in bad faith and contrary to fact, and therefore counter-productive. In these cases such “beliefs” can be an abuse and parody of faith, a pose covering for resentment and ignorance at best.
I want to live in a world where abortion never happens at all. The question is how to make it as rare as possible in the meantime, in the world we actually live in. Stupid grandstanding and phony rhetoric in stubborn defiance of basic facts is unlikely to get us there.
Half a point I’ll grant you there. But still your sophistry is hidden by your grandstanding. You yourself may not be a totalitarian or otherwise try to impose your beliefs on others but you actively support a regime that does. More, you would screw up all the courage necessary to make sure that no reasonable impediments to rolling back the barbarism would ever occur.
Mike Myers, I hold the same opinion as my Orthodox Church holds. Rape, and the life of the mother is the only exception for a abortion. I do thank you for only implying I am a fanatic, I am not.
God’s will is all I ask, whether this subject, or any other. Trust me there are times I wanted my will before our Lord’s, and every time I regretted my decision. I would never force my will on another, only state my opinion, then they can decide their fate. If one woman thought twice before aborting her baby, is that not worth my opinion being expressed? The Bible is our owners manuel for our body and soul, what we choose to apply or ignore will no doubt affect our lives, and soul.
In regards to federal funding of woman’s services, I am sure the leftist would set up clinics for woman to continue killing their babies, and other services, if our tax dollars did not. It would be a great recruiting ground for their base. So you need not worry Mike.
What bothers me is my tax dollars supporting Planned Parenthood, and their agenda. Just like I did not want my tax dollars killing millions of Iraqis and thousands of American troops, because Bush thought it would great for business, not to mention the deadly mess in the middle east is now.
I don’t believe I am ethically unhinged, self-righteous, or a fanatic, simply because I don’t want my or other same minded tax payers, supporting the Abortionists agendas.
In regards to who will win the election. The Washington Post reported that Geda the Chinese Prophet Monkey has decided that Trump will win, the Prophet Monkey even kissed the card board likeness of Trump, so enough said on the election!
I didn’t say that and I think you may know it’s twisting what I wrote to suggest I did. My point was that right now it’s illegal for taxpayers to directly pay for abortion, except in cases of rape, incest (which you left out) and risk to the life of the mother. Many people including many Democrats are concerned about efforts to repeal the spirit or letter of the Hyde amendment, including me. Lots of Democrats oppose taxpayer funding of abortion except in the cases above. Nothing fanatical about that, and it’s my position too. And I also don’t think it’s fanatical or self-righteous to be a critic of abortion on demand or this aspect of PP’s activity, or of Clinton’s occasional political rhetoric on the Hyde amendment, of course. Not what I said or meant or intended to suggest.
With respect to Trump’s “position” on abortion, you might want to read this.
Innuendo like that is deeply offensive. Also dishonest and sleazy. Imagining evil and slandering others without cause is a serious sin and many of you seem to be highly accomplished and eager practitioners of it. I think abortion is tragic and terrible at best and I really don’t appreciate your insinuations.
You say that but when it comes to actually trying to stop the slaughter of the innocents, like so many Proglibs, you can’t seem to summon the courage to do so.
Mike Myers, Why are so offended, I’m stumped. You state that you’re for Planned Parenthood. Receiving federal funds is ok, but receiving private is wrong, and offesive to assume your ok with it’s survival on private funds??
What is so sleazy what is so dishonest?? What evil am I imagining? Who am I slandering? It seems you have quite the imagination or are are a very confused individual. Not my intent to deeply offend you, but again please forgive me if I have.
Mike, two things sick out: “career public servant” and “universally liked”.
In my mind both those descriptions are accurate he is wholly unqualified to hold high office. He is an out of touch bureaucrat who has learned to avoid issues and decisions that might upset anyone. Not a leader or a follower one can trust when things get tough.
Either that or a really good con man without scruples, principals or virtue – just a surface morality.
What? First of all, a “career politician” shouldn’t exist. Men should have real trades/jobs, then maybe go serve their fellow men in public office for a few years, then return to their real job. The “career public servant/politician” is part of the problem. For those who don’t agree with this, that’s a fundamental, and I’d say, irreconcilable, difference between them and the rest of us.
Sen. Kaine also has significant inner turmoil — too much for a VP, or God help us, a President. He’s a self described pro-life Catholic who favors abortion on demand and partial-birth abortion/infantacide. What the heck does that mean? If a man can’t decide what he believes in and have the balls to stand for it, get him out of public office.
The irony of ironies: “Kaine” autocorrects to “j’aime” on my iPhone. Aaaaaargh!
Agreed. We need real men who hold real jobs in the seat of power. Merchants, generals, tradesmen, physicians, attorneys, you name it: anybody but careerists who’ve never done a day’s worth of hard work in their lives. And that goes for the political punditocracy as well. I’ll bet you dollars-to-donuts that their hands are as smooth as a baby’s bottom.
George! How can you utter such nonsense: “We need…anybody but careerists?”
What kept the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Chinese Empire, and the Ottoman Empire going for so long was primarily their CAREERISTS, their civil services, their bureaucracies! Are you as blind to that fact as Donald Trump? Do you too dream of Alpha Males?
Careerists are ok in the bureaucracy, not in the Congress.
I thought the East Roman Empire lasted so long since they had a strong defense wall. Also, like the Romans they gave land to their retire vets to farm on. So, men enlisted to protect the Empire.
First I’ve heard about it! Where was that wall, Cynthia?
Kaine was/is an attorney and a law professor. Do “the rest of us” know the meaning of rule of law and what’s needed to keep it going?
Question: are you a Trump supporter? Bonus question: are you a Putin fan, too?
It is a sure bet that professional politicians from the legal world do not know the meaning of the rule of law. They do, however, know to ask questions like: “It depends on what the meaning of the word “is”, is.
Maybe that is why Obama likes to call the hyperviolent jihadi group ISIL instead of IS-IS?
ISIL is the acronym used by President Obama and our military—the mass media and Trump don;t get it: It’s “Islamic State of Iraq and Levant,” NOT Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIS indicates the caliphate has MUCH smaller ambitions than it actually HAS. TRUMP KNOWS NO MORE WHAT LEVANT IS THAN THAT OTHER LOSER KNEW ABOUT ALEPPO! The Arabic acronym is DAESH–the SH part refers to el SHam–the Levant! Didn’t you know all that, Michael Baumann? If not, now you do!. Why not explain it to Trump, the loser who is perplexed by it?
Senator Kaine is one of the most decent and best-liked career public servants in Virginia and Washington
Sadly—for what it says of that region of the country—that comment is probably true.
Mike Myers, Good thing, your here to save us from George!
https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system
This is Comey’s statement from the prior investigation. It is interesting reading. Several things are clearly stated that don’t receive a lot of attention in the MSM.
First and foremost is that HRC was wildly reckless in her use of personal emails to transact classified government business when she was Secretary of State, even when she was transmitting from inside the “dragon’s belly”, i.e., from inside foreign/hostile countries from which one would expect surveillance to the extent of their capabilities.
Secondly, the standard that the FBI director applied to HRC may be one commonly used for high public officials in her position, but the truth gets obscured by the language. HRC violated federal statutes literally hundreds of times, “hundreds of counts” if an indictment were to be prepared. So when people say she violated federal law in her conduct of email correspondence, they are correct. No doubt. The question was whether to prosecute or not. Comey declined to prosecute. He made it sound as if to do so would be holding her to an unfair standard to which others in her position, presumably, are not held.
I doubt that. I doubt it because of all the peripheral crap that has come out. Especially the stuff from Colin Powell.
https://theintercept.com/2016/09/13/colin-powell-emails/
It looks as if she were warned and disregarded advice out of a sense of elite entitlement. But I’m sure Comey had to be very careful. In fact, normally a press conference wouldn’t be called at all to signal the “closing” of an investigation. The FBI are normally more cagey than that. There was a reason that he provided a desired amount of “closure” and a reason why he seemed irked in having to provide it.
So, now we have Weinergate. You can’t make this stuff up. Let’s lay this out in the disinfecting sunlight – or to mix metaphors – turn over this rock and see what worms wiggle about.
As you may know, Hillary has an aide named Huma Abedin. Abedin is married, and recently separated, from Anthony Weiner. Weiner was being investigated for sex-ting a fifteen year old girl – but don’t be distracted by that, he does stuff like that (it’s just Anthony, really). The point is that it was one of his and his wife’s computers that they shared that the FBI obtained that caused them to reopen this can of worms.
* * *
“However, we do know one thing: according to the NYT, the number of Huma emails that made their way to Weiner’s PC was staggering:
The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the tens of thousands.” – http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-29/fbi-found-tens-thousands-emails-belonging-huma-abedin-weiners-laptop
* * *
Who is Abedin?:
“Abedin was born on July 28, 1976,[7] in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Syed Zainul Abedin (1928–93) and Saleha Mahmood Abedin.[4][8] At the age of two, she moved with her family to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she was raised and lived until returning to the United States for college.[4][8] Abedin traveled frequently during her childhood and teenage years and attended a British girls’ school.[8]” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huma_Abedin
She was also working for Hillary in State (and was subpoenaed to testify) when the Benghazi debacle occurred.
Despite the fact that her family has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, she has been defended ferociously by neo-con Republicans as well as Democrats when her loyalties were called into question.
Breitbart fleshes the facts out a bit while relying on MSM sources, simply connecting the dots:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/18/the-truth-about-huma-abedin-that-media-matters-doesnt-want-america-to-see/
Essentially, Huma was an editor of a magazine that was supported by the Saudi government and the Abedin family has ties to, shall we say, even more aggressive propagators of Islam:
* * *
“For example, the Vanity Fair article flatly lays out the information that Huma Abedin was an assistant editor at a publication called the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs from 1996 until 2008. He writes:
When (Huma) Abedin was two years old, the family moved to Jidda, Saudi Arabia, where, with the backing of Abdullah Omar Nasseef, then the president of King Abdulaziz University, her father founded the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, a think tank, and became the first editor of its Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, which stated its mission as ‘shedding light’ on minority Muslim communities around the world in the hope of ‘securing the legitimate rights of these communities.'” – ibid
* * *
Nasseef also was involved with the Muslim World League which is an open arm of the Saudi Government.
* * *
“In his early years as the patron of the Abedins’ journal, Nasseef was the secretary-general of the Muslim World League, which Andrew McCarthy, the former assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted the ‘Blind Sheik,’ Omar Abdel Rahman, in the wake of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, claims ‘has long been the Muslim Brotherhood’s principal vehicle for the international propagation of Islamic supremacist ideology.’” – quoted from Vanity Fair article in ibid
* * *
Now, to cut through all the smoke and mirrors, partisanship and disinformation: Huma Abedin is very close to Hillary Clinton and has been throughout HRC’s government career. They may be intimately involved, but regardless they are utterly close. Huma was raised in Saudi Arabia from the age of two til she went off to college. She has significant connections with the Saudi government and with organizations dedicated to the propagation of Sunni Islam.
And she has access, willy-nilly, to highly classified information, as does her soon to be ex-husband, Weiner (we haven’t gotten to what the 15 year old girl in North Carolina knows yet, but the FBI might).
Not to wax paranoid, but America is currently involved in a conflict in the Middle East between Sunni forces (the Saudis, Turks, etc.) versus the Shiites (Iran, Syria, etc). In this conflict, unfortunately, the US is taking the side of the Sunnis and the Russians and Chinese are supporting the Shiites. The conflict need not take place unless the West and the Sunnis pursue it. And that is part of what our present election is about.
Oh, one more thing:
I don’t want to let you forget that Sunni Muslim eschatology is directly, character for character, adversarial to Christian eschatology. The prophecies in their religion which they identify with Christ are those which Christians expect from the antichrist, and vice versa.
Now, there’s a nice map for you.
PS: Here is one of the laws she likely violated:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793
http://ijr.com/2015/03/264655-3-federal-laws-hillary-may-violated-secret-email-accounts/
Only the first two subparagraphs require intent to disclose to a party who would use it against US interests. Subparagraph (f) is likely the one she violated as well as other laws. It carries a fine, ten years, or both.
So why does Hillary want to set up a no-fly zone in Syria and fund “moderate” Sunni Muslims to overthrow the Shiite Assad government?
The sunnis are not ever going to get support from the Americans unless the Shias use chemical weapons.
The sooner we let dictators rule the middle east; the better. Assad destroyed his legitimacy long ago.
Why do you think Obama did not follow McCain’s early requests to support the Sunnis?
America is full tilt boogie supporting the Sunnis in the Middle East. It is hedging its bet in Syria given the realities. Last reports I heard were of the rebels using chemical weapons in the last few days:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/31/syrian-rebels-aleppo-offensive-could-amount-to-war-crimes-un-envoy-warns
https://www.rt.com/news/364737-syria-aleppo-poison-gas/
The Middle East has always been run by “dictators” aka “kings”. We simply want to bite from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and classify some as hunky dorey and others as deplorable. America, however, is really not qualified to make moral judgments at this point.
So there it is.
PS: Obama did not follow McCain’s early requests to start WW3 because he is bright enough not to want to be remembered as the fool who doomed human civilization.
I cannot say it any more plainly than this:
The United States is fighting in cooperation with the wrong people (Sunni Muslims, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, al-Qa’ida, ISIS) against the wrong people (Shiite Muslims, Assad, Iran, Russia, China, etc.).
It’s a huge cluster f*ck that will not get any better under a Hillary administration.
What we should be doing is joining forces with those who wish to defend Christian civilization against Islam. But Progressives are not willing to do that because they are faithless, stupid and disloyal as well as being incorrigible hedonists. Thus they will torpedo their own moral civilization (Christian) in favor of the “other” (Islam) for the childish reason that as good progressive liberals, we should be self critical and must assume that the “little brown people” are always right.
Good luck with that.
Have you noticed that the “little brown people” are even less receptive to your values than Christians?
Btw:
This is what Comey is made of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxHjWYA50Ds
I’ve said it before and I will say it again “Trump will win and is winning in a landslide.”
The evil, pure unadulterated evil of HRC and Bill “Bubba” Clinton are finally being disclosed. The women she has shamed, threatened and destroyed, the people they have murdered (Vincent Foster), the confidence they have betrayed (Benghazi), all her wretchedness finally being put on display for the whole country and world to see. This is what you want to vote for? This? Madness!
Go Trump go!
Peter
George! your reference to an indictment of a Clinton administration from its Justice Department is straight from either Lala Land or from an erotic dream of yours. Shouldn’t that desperate Trumpist at the FBI have waited until he had at least READ the emails in the Weiner case? And which pleasures you more: saying “cuckservative” or mentioning Weiner’s “schlong?”
And you eat with that mouth, Fritz?
Seriously though,
The one thing everyone might want to agree on is that Comey is either being totally candid and upright or, alternatively, he’s become pretty confident that Trump will win the election. His press conference on the Clinton investigation windup from the summer was a gift to her. Later, he played CYA by being more frank about what it really revealed. Yet now, for some reason, he feels either compelled or bold enough to do this.
Now, it’s possible that he’s just vacillating and being a Trump “stooge”, trying to showcase himself and throw a monkey wrench into a Hillary win. But that is not his track record with respect to either this matter or the Gonzales/Ashcroft matter where he testified for Chuck Schumer about Gonzales’ and Andy Card’s misconduct.
Either he knows there is/are some blatant smoking gun(s) in those thousands of emails and thus he feels a responsibility to act OR he has become convinced by some set of numbers from somewhere that Trump is going to win. Remember he is an investigator. One of the best, if his position indicates anything. It would have to be some pretty persuasive evidence that Trump will win in order to move him to do this.
Either way . . .
It appears to me that the retired Bishop may have “choice of word problems.”
They’re all “yoga” e-mails, the what was it, 6,500 of them. Hillary ought’a be a swami, yogini. But then that begs the question that Trump points out, you’re do’n all these (yoga?) e-mails no wonder no work gets done. Sure lets read all the yoga e-mails the 6,500 of them and then just say “it was all yoga” which is why Weiner had access he is studying yoga to further tone his physique for Facebook.
So are these the e-mails Hillary bleached? Threw in the washer a-la Jodi Arias and her digital camera? Never should of had the server in the bathroom. There has to be some bad stuff there worthy of manual jack-hammer destruction. But I agree Bishop Tikhon lets read the stuff and cram before Election Day.
Sounds to me you might have your “basket of IMPEACHABLES” thats
Bill and Hillary
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/10/31/trump_thank_you_anthony_weiner_good_job_huma.html
It’s over. Trump knows it. Soon the American people will understand what happened. The Powers that Be have passed judgment, evidently.
All on Halloween.
Of course BT Fitzgerald will be defending the indefensible and defaming the messenger. As a long-time Hillary supporter and hater of everything GOP he’s doing what he’s always done. Deflect, insult, obfuscate, defame, repeat…
However, reality has a way to break through the leftists BS.
Even Obama is distancing himself from Hillary now. Obama just publicly affirmed that Comey’s integrity and character are as solid as when Obama endorsed him. The newly discovered email evidence must be quite damning and damaging to Hillary and her merry band of corrupt sycophants.
Hi Centurion,
You make eminent good sense. I can’t understand how anyone can vote for a gifter, corrupt politician like Hillary. She is a crook, liar,criminal and affliction to be excised. She should be indicted and convicted for treason, espionage, obstruction and operating a RICO enterprise. People who vote for her a stupid, evil, insane or unpatriotic. They shouldn’t even be allowed to vote.
Make good sense? The opposite, Obama is “distancing” himself so much from Clinton he’s campaigning for her today in North Carolina and tomorrow in Florida!
I’m so sorry there are voters standing in the way of your authoritarian racist white supremacist single-party nation. Let me play the world’s smallest violin for you. Because this is America, where even someone as misinformed and ignorant as you seem to be can vote! Not Sad!

This! Is! America!
I always thought Clinton voters were totally stupid andy you, my completely ignorant friend. are prima facie evidence. Your trite post reeks of convoluted logic. In fact, your post is so incredibly dumb, if I print it out, it’s only use is as toilet paper.You are obviously not a Christian because no Christian can vote for the most corrupt and pro abortion candidate in US history. I’m embarrassed for you and your family. No wonder you don’t use your real name. If you were standing in front of me, I would crack you so hard, your ankles would break. Why? For being stupid and a smartass.

Read the entire story from the Times. It practically outs the relationship if anyone was in any doubt and counsels HRC to throw her under the bus.
In other news, another bagman for the Clintons got the spotlight from a recent Wikidump:

This coming week could get WILD. This is the stuff of Tom Clancy novels what with the Saudi/Sunni/Syria connection, the involvement of the Turks in the Syria conflagration and the deployment of Russian forces in play. The Russians and the Chinese must already know exactly what is going on in our little internal political drama.
And the American people are suiting up for Halloween. Positively Shakesperean!
Centurion! “Of course BT Fitzgerald will be defending the indefensible and defaming the messenger. As a long-time Hillary supporter and hater of everything GOP he’s doing what he’s always done. Deflect, insult, obfuscate, defame, repeat…”
Please, tell me where I have EVER spoken or written ANY support of Mrs or Mr Clinton! I’LL VOTE FOR HER WHILE HOLDING MY NOSE, but I consider her opponent to be a puerile and incompetent zero. As is said, “A big EMPTY stretch limo pulled up to the curb and stopped: then Don Trump got out!” I too, like you, take President OBAMA’s expressed support of Mr Comey as authoritative and a grand example of President Obama’s fairness!
I’m not at all ashamed or insulted by being identified as a leftist—a poor one, to be sure, but still leftist! I always have been. I thought the Clintons have never been either left or right, but smart and, unfortunately, conceited and opportunistic politically. Still, anything but that bag of miasmic wind, Trump!
Your Grace, your vote for Clinton is a form if Sergianism because that is what she expects and will demand in homoerotic hedonism and abortion. Any Christian who votes for her votes for attacks on the Church. It is only a attachment to a worldly ideology that is stronger than faith in Christ that would allow such a vote no matter how hard you pinch your nose.
It is sad.
God forgive me.
Michael Baumann! You wrote “your vote for Clinton is a form if Sergianism.” How does my VOTE express “Sergianism?” I repeat, no matter the sins and misdeeds of Mrs Clinton and her crypto-Republican husband before her, any thing but that miasmic windbag Trump! I also feel that Trump is more of a worldly ideologue than any one running for election anywhere!
So Bishop,
You are voting for the most pro- abortion and corrupt politician in history.? As you know, Lady Gangster will eventually be in prison- hopefully sooner rather later.
Because she has specifically said Christians must change our beliefs on homoerotic activity and partnership and abortion because our beliefs are not in line with the Orwellian name progressive policies.
She hates Traditional Christianity. If she cannot get rid of us, she would love to see a US version of the Living Church
Since so many “Christian” bodies have already capitulated it won’t be hard.
Election choice: a corrupt hater of Christianity or a narcissistic, bombastic dude who simply does not care. I’ll take #2 any day of the week.
Breath it in, inhale. No holding noses here. Breathe what you vote its only rancid aroma at the ballot box but becomes something entirely more noxious in the weeks and months ahead. Its all the corrupt Democrats that then get access to White House executive branch “pay-to-play” frenzy. The anti-christ will donate to Clinton Foundation then takes it over.
Trump meanwhile will make business decisions. Tough at first but then later you see better. He is not an idiot not beholden to all the banks and Wall Street. All the lawyers and law firms and insurance companies, parasites, break their monopolies and allow competition across state lines for healthcare premiums. End NATO Welfare. Look at France, Germany, thank GOD for Brexit !!!! NATO is a WWll era alliance. Things have changed, we have cell phones. Trump is not interested in the UKRAINE. TRUMP is interested in AMERICA. Trump is not you’re idiotic “Bush War President” however Hillary just might be that.
“Misha,” you wrote: “It practically outs the relationship if anyone was in any doubt and counsels HRC to throw her under the bus.”
WHO, exactly, is HRC supposed to throw under the bus?
Abedin.
She is trying to take the bullet today:

Huma is now trying to say that it was all her fault. We do know that there was extensive classified info from Special Access Programs. This is not low level stuff but highly classified programs such as drone strikes. God knows what else. Sources and methods are also under SAP. Hopefully no agents got burned because of this. She was sloppy with the info even when she was in Russia. That much is also certain.

It’s a total meltdown at the DNC. Hillary is in denial. The Thornton law firm campaign funneling scheme was on CBS This Morning. Thousands funneled to Hillary, Obama and other Dems, just the tip of the iceberg. That was only one firm and the story is that it is widespread.
Total Meltdown.

The LA Times has Trump opening up a lead of 5-6 points.

Hillary is trying to make Comey and the Russians the story. I’m not sure what else she can do at this point. Obama will not touch this until after the election. Unless it gets very, very hot, Justice will not present to a grand jury until after the election.
And the powers that be are ruminating on it all.

The thing that it is impossible to get away from is that Comey was hauled out in front of the cameras in June to absolve Clinton against the evidence before him. You could see that in the tenor of his announcement and his subsequent remarks. She violated the law over a hundred times given what they had before them because, as former Attorney General Mukasey stated, there is no requirement in the law that “intent to harm the US” be found in order to prosecute. All the elements were there.
Yet Comey was not allowed to move forward. And he was made to absolve her.
Now, given that, it is no wonder that when it became clear to him that this is much bigger than even he knew about at the time, and an election in the making, he had to say something to Congress.
I mean, it all depends on your politics, doesn’t it? Comey is not clean, no doubt. Yet if he had just kept his mouth shut, so the thinking goes, none of this would be a “problem”.
But now it’s all out there in front of God and everybody.
Pat lays it all out but is too kind.

“Misha,” thanks for informing me who it was that Mrs Clinton was reputedly throwing under the bus. I missed that information in the post in which you reported that action. Sorry!
Bishop Tikhon, In case you haven’t been watching the news. Clinton has already thrown our nation under the bus. Not only selling our nation to highest bidder, but also setting up a separate server, to cover up her corruption, which has now been hacked by five foreign countries. Whatever classified material that were on that or other servers is now in the hands of foreign governments or terrorists.
She had one server bleached clean, knowing full well it would look very suspicious to the American people before the election, and the FBI before their investigation. She didn’t care, because what the FBI would find on that server would be much worse for her, than looking bad by bleaching her server. She is a criminal, and a traitor. Benedict Arnold, and Ephialtes have a new member to their club. A military man such as yourself should be concerned, that your vote is going to a traitor. A Bishop should also be concerned, endorsing a promoter of Government paid Abortions, especially late term abortions, with your vote. Hopefully you haven’t cast your vote yet!
You are right, Dino, but Mr. Fitzgerald has no problem supporting a Alinskyite, self-seeking political hack, whose brazen response to the sacking of the Benghazi Annex and the death of four Americans, including our Ambassador, was to make up the lie that it was all due to a video few had ever seen and then to say to Congress, “What difference does it make?” I am not surprised in that his “Grace’s” comments over the years have evinced, not grace, but a disdain for everything Republican (and now he even wants to make Bill into a crypto-republican). The once active bishop has no credibility and spends his time insulting others here–including Catholics–unless of course they are Democrats–and hardly every speaks of the One Who is Lord, Jesus Christ, the One Whose servant he was ordained and consecrated to be and Who should be the theme of his life and of his every word. Let us pray that that will change. Repentance is always possible and the fruit would be marvelous. Christ is in our midst.
lxc
Dino, did you miss the 22 MILLION emails destroyed by the Bush administration? Luckily for them Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House generously decided not to proceed with prosecution of ANYONE in that administration.
You said “selling our nation to highest bidder.” Tell us who that highest bidder IS”
You also said, ” She didn’t care, because what the FBI would find on that server would be much worse for her.” Tell us what the FBI would have found on that server, and where you got copies of it.
As a retired USAF officer, I AM concerned with Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin. A retired US Army intelligence friend of mine who served at an installation, joint American/Soviet intelligence liaison installation in EastGermany as a light Colonel alongside light Colonel Vladimir Putin, characterized him recently like this: “He was a svoloch then and he’s a svoloch now,” I’m also concerned with Trump’s bromance with Russian oligarchs, and feel that he is far more likely to subvert and betray oyr country than Mrs. Clinton. I hate and condemn abortion, but I believe this historical practice can never be abolished; however, I also believe that there are fewer abortions in our country when they are legal than when are were not legal. I don’t vote by mail, but I do vote “hopefully.” I’ll stick to the advice of, among others, the living former presidents of the U.S., all of whom have advised against voting for Trump along with former Secretaries of State: Condoleeza Rice and General Powell! You may, of course, feel that Peter A. Papoutsis, Michelle Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson, and George Michalopoulos, etc. are better informed and more genuinely patriotic than they! That’s your right!
Bishop Tikhon, I wish Bush was prosecuted, he in my opinion is no better than Clinton, perhaps worse. Bush not only nearly put us into a depression not to mention destroying Iraq, and killing million of Iraqis, and thousands of American troops, simply to avenge his daddy, and to support the war pigs/bankers. Now the middle east is also a deadly mess, with Obama’s lack of vision, and now Clinton wants to puts her cherry on the top, God help us! Your AS***LE Clinton, is no different than my SVOLOCH Trump, or Putin, but I rather have Russia as my allie, than my enemy. Not to mention I don’t want an enemy of the church as my President. As we know Rice, and Powell were in Bush’s cabinet, so there opinion holds no value to me, they supported Bush’s, war, is good for business agenda. So far as Clinton’s servers, and bleaching them before an investigation, and election. Connect the dots, your Grace, and have patience.
In regards to abortion, I really don’t understand your logic, especially if a woman has to make an extra effort to kill her baby. This might give her an opportunity to change her mind, instead of having the door wide open to commit such a sin. My main point is that I don’t want my tax dollars supporting the abortionist’s agenda, such as Planned Parenthood.
No matter how hard you try, even taking about these pond scum hero’s is always a shame. Nothing edifying can ever come of it.Indulging in the corruption that political American life is and liking to do it, is like taking sauna is a cat box. Their meaner than the cat box.
If true, then she’d have fun in jail.
Mark E. Fisus. What an important comment! You truly are a second Mark of Ephesus, upholding Orthodox doctrine!
What kind of Orthodox phraseology suggests that a woman got schlonged? The title to this guilt by association piece goes beyond inappropriate
