The system is rigged
Washington Examiner ^ | 10.20.2016 | Lisa Boothe

The system is rigged in Hillary Clinton's favor and no one gives a damn. Over the past couple of weeks, revelations showing collusion, corruption and deep character flaws of Clinton and her campaign have surfaced, but the mainstream media have barely blinked an eye.

Instead, they have fixated on a leaked audio tape of Donald Trump making insidious remarks about women and an influx of sexual assault accusations. It is justified to examine the character and judgment of Trump, but why is it not equally important to examine Clinton's? The most damning revelations of corruption come from the FBI. Newly released documents from the investigation of Clinton suggest that Patrick Kennedy, a top State Department official, attempted to convince the FBI to change the classifications on emails from her secret server so they would be precluded from public disclosure. Kennedy offered a "quid pro quo" exchange where agents would be allowed to enter countries where they are barred by the State Department.

Any time the public is more in tune than the moderator and at least one of the candidates, there’s a problem.

My guess is that they will release more smears against Trump soon. Something, anything even if they have to make it up.

Rush said to expect it by noon tomorrow.
Hope it is something that can be laughed off!

It’ll be made up because you know after the WikiLeaks and the O’Keefe videos they would have released it before the debates.

Of course, they’ll make something up. They’ve been doing it all along. And the media helps them then won’t say a word about WikiLeaks or Veritas. If they do it’s always, “We haven’t be able to verify any of this.” But they never say they haven’t been able to verify the Trump accusers.

The dirty tricks exposed by wiki and O’Keefe just reinforces the meme that anything the do promote will be just another “dirty trick”. It almost I mines him from their attacks.

Typing with thumbs in the dark is difficult

It immunes him from any more attacks

Although it was the dream of the Founders to make American politics accessible to the common people, it’s always been the intention of the professional pols to keep it all to themselves.

In America of the Twenty-First Century, the professional pols are a hair’s breadth away from restoring the perks and privileges of King George’s elite, and undoing the entire history - indeed, the entire purpose - of America.

Donna Brazile had her ass handed to her tonight over a leaked email. I expect she will be the next casualty.

Not a good night for Hills :)

I have been pondering what legislation it would take to deal with poll malpractice and blatant one-sideness of the major media.

That is what decent people do—they discuss public policy and try to figure out a legislative solution to an abuse of power...

But, in the end, if the MSM is corrupt and controlled by a handful of rich owners they would circumvent any such legislation (lawyer up) even assuming they couldn’t stop it dead in its tracks.

I hate to sound like some mid-western farm coop maniac, but it may be the only way to deal with this stuff is to ban corporate ownership of media outlets and require mass ownership (like farm coops or credit unions or mutual insurance arrangements).

Just thinking out loud, but the one-sided media stuff has crossed the line past irritating into insanity and abuse of the political process.

Elizabeth Warren has been saying the system’s rigged as her campaign slogan for years. Hillary has said “the deck is stacked” against people. Same thing. So her little speech is another substance-free exercise.

Why didn’t chris ask hill if she would accept the election results?

Even if I wasn’t aware that there is voter fraud, her not being asked that question would make me think that the voting is 100% rigged in her favor.

What matters is whether WE the People have had our eyes opened and our gut feelings proven to be correct.

I am HOPING enough people will show up and vote their rejection of the liars and the corrupt who threaten our way of life with impunity and no shame whatsoever!

When Obama recently bemoaned the fact that he pined for the days when there were three TV stations feeding the same news to everyone, it couldn’t have been more clear: The media is simply an extension of the government. He described how everyone received the same news as though it was a positive thing.

Trump needs a better response. “Just because Bernie accepted losing to crooked Hillary and a rigged system...doesn’t mean that I will...”
