Awww, you think we're being unfair in pointing out your errors?

You don't get to frame the discussion with me, son. You might be able to pull the wool over other people's eyes, but not me.

...I know you can't help but to try projection...


You're not pointing out my errors. You're misrepresenting them. And you are, amusingly, continuing to do exactly what I predicted you'd do. Oh well, I can't say that I'm surprised after all. At least I got those two great House quotes out of this.

It blows my mind sometimes, the regularity with which you project and simultaneously accuse me of projecting. Cognitive dissonance, yo.

Backpedal all you want on whether my characterization of your errors is incorrect vs misrepresenting, it is neither. You're simply throwing qualifiers at the wall hoping they'll stick and trying to frame the discussion in such a way as to avoid being in error. You were way off, plain and simple, and no amount of bullshit and spin is going to detract from that.

The FBI announced their decision today: http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/286472-fbi-no-charges-against-clinton

Comey made some comments that put the FBI at odds with some of the other departments: they argue that some emails had classified material in them at the time they were sent (113), which is something no one's proven yet. It's one of the reasons why this is such a contentious (and annoying) issue anyway: because the government has no one agency standard for classification, it causes inter-agency wrangling and bureaucratic squabbling to look like malfeasance. The FBI was able to restore some of the work emails that were accidentally deleted, established that they were not purposefully deleted, and found no evidence of hacking.

You're still projecting. Of course your characterization is a misrepresentation: a "likely" outcome does not express "the only realm of possibilities," as you characterized in multiple posts. It's exactly as I said: either you don't understand what's being measured or you're misrepresenting, pick one. I guess it could be both?

Who could have ever guessed that all you'd accomplish was demonstrating how embarrassingly little you know about the subject matter? Oh, I bet I know.

Some highlights from Charlotte. I'm still getting pre-event numbers from the ground from Friday-Sunday and then today, but based off what I've already seen what the NC/specifically Charlotte Dems did today organization-wise in anticipation of Obama's visit was ridiculous:

Exactly.


Stop crying. If you weren't dumb enough to try to attack me in the first place you wouldn't have a problem. Everyone should be well aware by now you don't have the competence to discuss campaigns, there's nothing else that needs to be said. It's over.

"Hillary Clinton committed Saturday to introducing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision within her first 30 days in office, if she’s elected president."

“The amendment would allow Americans to establish common sense rules to protect against the undue influence of billionaires and special interests and to restore the role of average voters in elections,” a Clinton spokesman said in statement.

This is excellent news. Amending the Constitution is very difficult, so I doubt it passes, but it's still a fantastic thing to try and do. Campaign finance reform is one of the biggest issues facing the US today because it would help restore the democratic process and affects how all of our elected officials behave and vote after they are elected.
