US Election & Presidency

Just another thought - Would it be possible any policy rollout can be deemed as sensitive government policy and shouldn't be tweeted? Never see Mrs May tweeting about policy rollout/changes over here do we? would have thought any new policies a government brings out would be something you'd want to spring as a surprise to your political opponents?

Cant really do that because of our system. thats why there are always leaks in the papers day before crucial stuff. Everything should be done through the HOP chamber

Rememebr Bliar getting into a load of shit because was always doing presidential style stuff he got told that HOP comes first for law making stuff

Quote:CNN asked Senator Elizabeth Warren if Mrs Clinton's contest against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders was rigged, and she said: "Yes."
Another Democratic official writes in a new book about the party's "unethical" agreement with the Clinton campaign.
Ms Warren, a progressive senator from Massachusetts who campaigned for Mrs Clinton, was reacting to allegations by former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman Donna Brazile.
Ms Brazile writes in a new book that the cash-starved DNC signed a joint fundraising agreement with the Clinton campaign in August 2015, four months after the former secretary of state launched her candidacy.
Ms Brazile writes that Mrs Clinton's "campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses".
The DNC was meant to be neutral in the contest between Mrs Clinton and her Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders, a Vermont senator.
But supporters of Mr Sanders have long claimed the party showed preference to Mrs Clinton.
Ms Brazile says the deal was "not a criminal act", but "compromised the party's integrity".

Don't worry, I expect this was old news

Well, since you ask

Quote:The victory fund agreement was signed in August 2015 and widely reported during the course of the campaign, amplifying the friction between Sanders and the DNC that had already been fueled by disagreements over the primary debate schedule and access to the party’s voter database.

The agreement stipulated that the DNC and the Clinton campaign could participate in joint fundraising activities to raise money for both entities, although Clinton would not have had access to those funds until and unless she was chosen by voters as the party’s nominee.

The Sanders campaign later accused Clinton’s team of exploiting the agreement to avoid contribution limits under campaign finance laws, but that was the subject of substantial coverage during the election and not a new revelation.

Quote:Brazile, for her part, hit back at Trump for misrepresenting her story.

“Today’s lesson: Being quoted by Donald Trump means being MIS-quoted by Donald Trump,” she tweeted. “Stop trolling me. #NeverSaidHillaryRiggedElection.”

Not sure who you think you're constantly railing against here w/r to Clinton.
Anybody here think Clinton is a good person?...
Nobody?...
Thought not

is the impeachment judge getting their court ready I wonder?

fuck clinton. she was just the least worst choice, by alot. (the choice being between her and trump).

bernie would've been awesome! he'd of got less done than trump has so far, but it would've been entertaining watching the neo-cons go up against him. almost the complete diametric opposite of what american's have now.

the problem was she was always going to be selected because the superdelegates meant she had a couple of hundred seat lead even before anyone started. the Emails said that was the case even if sanders would have won the popular vote and more states they would have still chosen hilary

i think this asia trip might be the start of trumps inadequacies really coming to the fore. he's gonna come back with fuck all touting it as a major success because his ego won't allow him to admit it went bad. the 'fake' news media will show he got fuck all and maybe then his base might start to have their eye's opened.

President Xi will own him. he can talk tough on china but he knows that America economy is endebted to Chinese and Russian money in treasurys.

I like how when he arrived in Hawaii protesters held up signs saying "welcome to Kenya" in response to his birther conspiracy theories about Obama
