There is no US election. There is power consolidation. Rigged primary, rigged media and rigged 'pied piper' candidate drive consolidation.

I believe they're right. The DNC, in concert with their big business puppeteers decided that Bernie Sanders had to be eliminated, and he was. Now its Trump's turn.

Hillary Clinton has proven that she represents business interests only, which is why she's the heir apparent to the White House.

Wikileaks said it, so it must be true? Am I missing something here?

Wikileaks is echoing the arguments of the trump campaign, it clearly has a bias with its leaks.

Personally, I doubt that. I suspect that what's happening is that Wikileaks is being fed data and info (quite possibly altered or deceptively edited) from Russia...and Julian Assange has allowed his hatred of the Clintons to negate the intention of integrity by Wikileaks.

After Wikileaks released the private information of thousands of women in turkey, Wikileaks lost all integrity in my opinion.

I remember a time when conservatives said Wikileaks should be shut down and Assange killed by Seal Team 6.

Rubio actually has it very right here, today the DNC, tomorrow, the GOP.

Love to see partisans so extreme and dedicated to a candidate, they're ignorant the extreme national security aspects of this whole thing.

When RINO GOP members are next, I'll be very excited. It can't happen soon enough.

I agree with them. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that what they've said is true. The data, the info, is all there to see.

And the proof of the data is....???? Putin's word? Assange's word?

The trouble with unverified sources is that they're unverified. Contrary to some people's belief, the modern press, the journalists, are the best sources of information. They develop a known reputation over the years, verify sources, and the respected ones can be relied on not to edit the data or documents.

You might as well rely on the National Enquirer, if you're going to rely on Wikileaks for information. I hear kangaroos now give birth to human babies, and aliens invaded the world years ago.

I hear it's illegal to read those wikileaks email dumps...unless you are in the media...and we need them to tell us what's in them. LOL!!

In any case, it's been a long, long time since anybody has held up the media's "reputation" as something to be proud of.

Speaking of whether those emails are real or not...enough of them HAVE been verified to consider all of them to be validated.

Face it...Hillary and her crew are a bunch of conniving, despicable people and those emails prove it.

Who is respectable in today's modern press?
 
Yes, the mainstream media is doing everything in its power to get Hillary elected, and it will likely succeed in that, by hook or by crook.

This election is very much Theater Of The Absurd.

I agree, there is no difference any more between the Clinton campaign and the biased mainstream media, they have become one and the same corrupt and colluding entity.

Anything Trump negative trumpeted, anything Hillary positive trumpeted, and this is supposed to pass as fair, honest, and unbiased? :lamo

See, this is the problem. Some people can't discern information, even when it's plainly stated. The news guy who said that said we can't legally possess the documents.

At no time has any news source stated that we can't read the information.

None of us has seen the documents. We have merely read reprinted EXCERPTS of information that someone says he took from the documents.

See the difference? You have never seen the actual documents, and neither have I. We have just read what a partisan site SAYS is the documents, but we now know are EXCERPTS that are edited and taken out of context.

Surely you know the difference between seeing an actual document, and reading what someone else prints and says is taken from a document? Would you believe me if I presented something as taken from a document? Here you go:

"See, what I want is for you to rig the election. I want some supporters out there in Florida, pressuring people going into the polling booths. Stand behind them really closely, put their hands in their pockets. Stuff like that. Like what I did to Clinton during one of the debates. Stalking. That should scare some people from going to the polls, when word gets around."

I took that directly from a Trump email to a campaign staffer.

See how that works? Did you actually SEE the email referenced above? Or is what you see my representation of an email?

This is what someone who is losing says. They always do. Trump gets a ton of free press. What the media has done is, like Alec Baldwin says in an SNL skit, taken what Trump has said and done and put it on tv.

I might think that if Trump were a valid candidate. But he's not fit to be President, so it makes sense that he won't win. What is shocking is that so many people are going to vote for someone who has admitted to sexual assault, who is a multi-billionaire whose interest is only himself, who doesn't have a history of caring for the middle class or anyone but himself, is a promoter and not a good businessman, has no political experience, is not diplomatic, is crude and crass, treats others disrespectfully, treats the office of the Presidency disrespectfully, has no clue about foreign affairs, wants to prevent people from entering the country on the basis of their religion, doesn't seem to know that there's no way to verify a wannabe immigrant's religion, has lied to the people more than any other presidential candidate in recent history according to fact checkers. As Trump has said...he could shoot them, and they'd still vote for him. Just what does someone have to be or do for those people to decide he's unfit to be the leader of the country? It's shameful.

The problem with your post is that I CAN see the emails. I CAN download the whole bunch. I CAN read the emails.

I am NOT dependent upon what someone ELSE says about them.

However, the crooked in-the-tank-for-Hillary media has tried to scare me into JUST listening to what THEY say is in the emails.


Look, I don't pay a lot of attention to mainstream media. I certainly don't spend very much time listening to or watching what they say. But, from what I have seen, they report very little about the thousands of emails that have been released. If you get all your news from those guys, then I think you'll be surprised and astounded by what is out there.

Tell you what...here's a link that summarizes and lists the most important items. It's a huge list and it grows with every daily dump.

HERE IT IS=> Detailed List of Top Wikileaks Podesta Emails (Update 11)

I'm sure you've seen some of this stuff since you are a member of this forum, but the average American who only gets their info from the mainstream media has seen very little of this. That is by deliberate design of the crooked media.

Oh...and your implication that these emails are concocted or altered is baseless. There is no evidence of that...but there IS evidence that supports their validity.

You are mistaken unbiased coverage with just coverage, and in Hillary's case it appears to be a concerted effort to cover up any negatives.

That's hardly what the electorate deserves from their 'free press', which would be the negative and positives of both candidates presented in fair and even handed nature. This is hardly what you can call the news coverage the candidates have received.

In my view the news media is falling short of the obligations of speaking truth to power, holding elected officials accountable for their actions, and reporting on those elected officials in a fair and even handed nature, both positive and negative, informing the electorate, to be the watchdog of elected officials, and a reliable information source for the electorate, as the founders intended.

Those are the obligations of the free press in order to warrant the benefits of the free press, and the press isn't holding up their part of the social contract.

You may poo poo this as 'This is what someone who is losing says' but that, none the less, doesn't remediate the failure of the news media in their obligations of the social contract that they've always had.

I do understand your point, for sure. But it seems that position implies that Hillary is NOT all those horrible things. I daresay her record over the years, in government and out, shows her to be very much many of those things. She is certainly a war monger, and has successfully overthrown legitimately elected foreign leaders in service to whomever it is she serves.

Hillary and her corrupt campaign and her corrupt political machine, as well as her media (propaganda arm), would just as soon see all the WikiLeaks emails disappear, something the colluding media is actually trying to accomplish for her in order to propel her into office.
