another 800 or so emails released

(mentioned bernie will not get the nomination in july of last year and says they will pay him for his endorsement to get his voters)
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10669

(contains 3 transcripts of hillarys paid goldmans sachs speeches [see attachments], also basically says she is not interested in holding wall street accountable)
https://wikileaks.com/podesta-emails/emailid/11011

(suggests pay to play when she becomes president)
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10313

(implies non-cleared clinton aides saw top secret emails, talks about TS emails on the server and hopes the NYT story on the emails wont get approved)
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10587

(worried about the rape claim against bill clinton from a tweet)
https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10461

(shows colluding with the clinton campaign and the new york times about an article that was not published yet so the clinton campaign could change their policy on it)
https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10423

(even more collusion between the media and the clinton campaign, reuters reporter sent information directly to podesta)
https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10530

(off the record reporter parties held at podesta's own home)
https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10353

(gathering info on Juanita Broaddrick [bill clinton rape accuser])
https://www.wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10275

and it seems the msm airing nothing but fake trump scandals doesnt seems to be working, people are far more interested in wikileaks based on google trends

Who else here is sick of these large corporations lobbying for laws that allow legal action to be taken against console hackers, homebrew developers, and creators of fanmade content? I personally am, and as part of the Green New Deal, I will push for reforms that will protect your rights to enjoy and share developments in homebrew, fanmade content, and the hacking of consumer electronics.

@Donald_Trump and @Hillary_Clinton are simply the faces of the corporate duopoly's establishment, and they only care about themselves, their donors, and your votes. Make no mistake; they do not care about you, and they will not advocate for your rights or your freedom!

Please send the establishment a message by voting for Green Party candidates this election season!

I believe it is because he is afraid of losing supporters to me.

Heh, yeah, Wikileaks Tweeted about that. And welp, CNN said it's illegal for us to view the emails, I guess we should all stop. But don't worry, CNN is allowed to view them, and I'm sure they'll cover the emails for us :)

Jill, why don't you stick to being a (bad) doctor?
People would have taken you seriously if you at least talked about American civil liberties being eroded by illegal acts such as patriot act.

Take care.

For anyone considering voting third party:


I thought the John Oliver piece was extremely poor. Yes you can cream skim Johnson and Stein's foibles, and make them look ridiculous. Same with Clinton and Trump. But if you're "taking 3rd candidates seriously" you have to do more than a laundry list of good things followed by a polemic of bad.

Although John Oliver is a comedian not a journalist so I can not expect too much from a person like him.

The major criticisms of Stein's college debt plan and Johnson's taxation plan and climate change plan really are substantial. It's not cherry-picking, and it was a good piece.

Hey, even if you don't vote between hillary and trump, get out and vote!

"...On the other hand, Ryan warned, 'If we lose the Senate, do you know who becomes chair of the Senate Budget Committee? A guy named Bernie Sanders. You ever heard of him?'"

So go out and vote democrat, or third party if there's a chance in heck they might win. Otherwise just stick to democrats. Vote out all those obstructionist and vote in folks that'll actually do something. And if bernie becomes chair of the senate budget committee, then that's excellent.

On a related note, for those who don't know, the president doesn't do anything with the passing of the national budget anyway, except ask congress to pwetty pwetty pwease add his/her suggestions.
