Interim DNC Chair caught (again) feeding questions to Hillary Clinton prior to debates.
CNN have cut all ties with her but she has not been fired as interim DNC Chair.
The real issue is that the Clinton campaign were obviously okay with it because it happened twice.
Cheating corrupt bitches. -

Worth noting it was in the primary debates. This was part of the DNC hobbling Sanders
Which is what forced DWS to resign.. to be replaced by Brazile..
So CNN has got rid of her. Surely the DNC has to fire her and distance the Clinton campaign from this corruption?

Was Sanders really a chance? I know we're talking about voters throwing up the middle finger, but he was waaaaaay too hippie for even the middle left to consider.

No
The DNC didn't need to hobble his campaign. I think they just wanted his campaign to be over quicker

probably not, but the longer someone genuine stays in the race and gets heard by more people against hillary the more their chances go up.
if anything though, that makes it worse. cheating isn't a one-off 'this is too important' thing, it's just what they do in any fight.
this sort of corruption is exactly what people are giving the middle finger to - it's the entire reason for trump. -

Irrelevant. It was cheating plain and simple.
The real issue is that Hillary Clinton appears to condone and encourage this. -
A fairly interesting read.
Thiel said it was “both insane and somehow inevitable” that political leaders would expect this presidential election to be a contest between “political dynasties” that have shepherded the country into two major financial crises: the tech bubble burst in the early 2000s, and the housing crisis and economic recession later that decade.
Could not agree more.

Scott Alexander's I Can Tolerate Anything Except The Outgroup article is always worth reading, with regards to political division, the culture war, or faux diversity.

This link popped up on HRCs Facebook page this morning
Sounds pretty tenuous to me - smacks of Clinton trying (poorly) to get the media off her and back onto Trump however it complements the Russia Connection double standard that Reid alleged against Comey.

Great read Tim, thanks.

@phoenetia
If in doubt blame Russia.
I'd quite like if the US were friends with them actually.Hillary's is a drinker. (I might be imagining some of this)
Alcohol affects judgement. - yeah I am trolling a little

@Frank Given the alternative - you betcha
Neither candidate is attractive but one comes across as a crooked politician (so pretty much par for the course) and the other a morally corrupt, self-aggrandizing, narcissistic, bullying, lazy, ill-informed, pretty stupid, dangerously moody, sociopath

You left out petty, thin skinned and small handed

Tough one really, you wouldn't want to abstain cos they both suck for fear of too many doing just that and ending up with the worst of 2 shitty options....but yeah I'd go HC because of the least worst scenario.
