at what time does election night start in US? When should I block my calendar to watch the map start scanning colour? Whats the best channel?
 
Squeaky bum time.
Fairly relaxed about the presidential race but, I'll be gutted for average Americans if GOP still holds the senate.
Four more years of obstruction if that happens.
 
Bingo.

Now why would they do that? For Bill to do standup at the Moroccan monarchy Christmas party?

They are interested in attempting to influence policy. But there's little to no evidence that happens. The Clintons are basically robbing these muppets to fund health initiatives through the Clinton Global Initiative. I doubt anyone would object to wealthy people funding an NGO under the pretext that they think they are buying access to meet with the Clintons.
 
About what?

TYT has produced has much, if not more damning analysis on Drumpf. Hell Cenk almost got into a fist fight with Alex 'Fatty' Jones and Roger Stone .

He's a massive Bernie Bro and is bitter that Bernie lost. The guy just can't let it go and is still going after Hillary as if its 6 months ago.

Is there any actual evidence that money has gone from the CF to Bill or Hill?

What's in their tax returns?
 
I think most people have written Iowa off already. Would be a great get for Hillary but definitely not as good as AZ, which has nearly double the EVs.

Just saying that it's not a shut and close case like the media portray. Looking at the number, Dems are facing a ~20k vote deficit compare to where they were in '12. Obama won the state by 92k vote. It will be dead close if anything but she can still pull it off.

Looking at the GOP number, doesn't seem like they are drawing in new voters (or at least new early voters).

They've released all their taxes. From what I've gather they get feck all and 90% of the money goes to project and 10% to the administrative overhead of running the foundation. This is really one of the top foundations around.
 
Great. so midnight - 6am Tuesday night/Wednesday early morning UK time.

Gonna be a fun night, especially for the reactions on here. Am guessing we'll bust 1000 pages!!!

Yeah it'll be mad. I tend to enjoy it because they usually have some good commentary / analysis.

The clearest form of corruption I have seen so far is Bill asking people paying him for a speech to also donate to the foundation. This level of corruption is unacceptable.

What's wrong with wealthy donors making contributions to the foundation ? What are they getting in return in terms of policy changes ? Where's the evidence they are getting anything at all beyond a meeting ?

I just don't understand how the big lie is being propagated then. fecking media should be clearing this shit up.

I thought he was being sarcastic...
 
IMO, a lot of people are scraping the barrel with their definition of corruption.
Trump has been out right swindling people most of his adult life.
The notion that he'd be less corrupt than Clinton, if he gets in government is laughable.
 
If you want to know what corruption is, go to my native country. Where government officials, transfer billions of state funds to their accounts without hiding it.

Meanwhile Drumpf uses his charity to build a new fountain outside Trump Tower and pay for his son's boy scouts subscription.
 
About time Bernice Sanders pulled himself from out under the rock. Sharing the plinth with HRC later. Most have been promised a top job and rightly so.

Judging by my news feed today - the Clinton team seemed to have pulled their sh1t together. The latest clinton foundation story ain't getting any traction.
 
Meanwhile Drumpf uses his charity to build a new fountain outside Trump Tower and pay for his son's boy scouts subscription.

And those two are the best examples of the mans piss taking arrogance, and also how ridiculously tight the prick is. Can't even pay $7 for his son to join the scouts. If you didn't know anything else about him, that would be enough to know he's a cnut.

In the West Indies, they just transfer the state funds into their spouses and children's accounts. Its barely hidden

Which one would that be?

Mine is bad, but they generally maintain a modicum of humility. I've known a high ranking police officer who blown thousands of dollars regularly for meals (annual income for average Joe is ~ 2k USD) but lives in an absolute pig sty. Most 'elected' officials maintain modest living quarters.

The corruption? Rich folks have no right to get involved in donations worth millions of dollars. A bank loan would have been more transparent or proper in the eyes of most poor folks.

They can't because of their own corrupt behaviours of giving donation to various charities, implicates them in this mass corruption. All they can do now is play along and make poor folks feel they are being heard even if it's all lies.

No, but not all the money is going to the Clinton foundation is the first place. Both Clintons have been paid obscene amount of money for speeches and dubious advisor positions by donors of the foundation.
The CF allows them to have all their staff/confidants on its payroll, which is certainly quite handy. That is a different issue so.
 
Wonder if the Clintons are kicking themselves in the foot for creating the foundation in the first place. Probably started it thinking their public lives are done and then having to see this bite them when Hillary Clinton is running for President.
 
Rick is mad that his boy McMullin is losing steam for President of Utah.

Yeah, he's not mentioning that too much. I'm disappointed the spat between McMullin and Drumpf didn't escalate further. Drumpf got slammed and seemed to go quiet, I bet if he was being pushed harder in the polls he would have argued more. Saying that though, it does seem as if someone has taken his phone away from him, only really the one tweet about the Cubs owners today that even remotely resembles the normal Drumpf Twitter Troll.

I doubt they'd get to where they are fretting over each and every action.

That's how most politicians operate tbf. Thinking they are invincible until karma comes.
