Trump Maybe Planning Television Return, Clinton's Email Scandal Gets Even More Complicated, Clown Panic Grows: P.M. Links

• 

  Matthias Oesterle/ZUMA Press/Newscom

  Maybe the entire election is just a preview for Donald Trump's television network? Whatever helps keep us sane. Meanwhile, posturing over whether the GOP will respect election results after Trump called the race "rigged."

• The latest FBI vs. Clinton email scandal is probably not what people think. It seemed at first as though the Department of State sought to have emails declassified in order to make it appear they weren't holding classified messages on private servers, but based on the FBI's response, these emails were retroactively classified in response to a Freedom of Information Act requests. The FBI also denies any "quid pro quo" offers about the two agencies working together to allow more FBI agents to work overseas.
• Target is suspending the sales of clown masks for Halloween because of pointless stupid panic.
• The man convicted of shooting at George Zimmerman in a road rage incident in Florida has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
• The FBI is trying to get a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit against them over Dylann Roof's deadly Charleston, South Carolina, shooting rampage. Roof should have been denied a gun purchase based on his criminal background, but the FBI didn't catch it.
• FBI Director James Comey says they don't really know if there's an epidemic of police shootings of black men because of the lack of collected data.

Target is suspending the sales of clown masks for Halloween because of pointless stupid panic.

THE TARGET LOGO SCARES ME, TOO.

[bacon-magic]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezo. You are a hated time traveler.

[Fist of Etiquette]

No one hates a time traveler. They all make sure of it.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Unless they want to be hated...

Hmmm

[Citizen X]

Hey, guess what, bacon? Eugene just went back in time and fucked your grandma. That's right, FIST IS YOUR POP-POP.

[bacon-magic]

He probably boned the first Homo Sapiens wyman. He's your dadda too. Take that Tulpa!

[Ted S.]

Ronald Reagan boned Wyman first.

[bacon-magic]

lol

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Bedtime for Bonzo!

[dschwar]

Actually, Myron Martin Futterman did, according to Wikipedia (Reagan was Wyman's second husband).

[Trigger Warning]

WTF are all of you talking about?

[gaoxiaen]

I never knew that he was a Rolling Stones' groupie.

[Cynical Asshole]

I think reason must give him advanced notice of the Linx and allows to make a comment before they post it. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

[Rich]

There you go again ....

[Ted S.]

Goin' down the only road he's ever known?

Alternate explanations: He is closer (in network topology) to the H&R server than anyone else, so sees the posts before anyone else. He is an insider, like an H&R staffer.

Dagnabbit! That was supposed to be a comment on Tonio's post.

Might be Gillespie's jacket. I've noticed that he is occasionally without jacket, which is really confusing. Apparently they can both survive short stints away from one another.

The jacket's got opinions, man. It's time that leather goods stood up for themselves.

[Swiss Servator]

Thanks for that.

[Who cares?]

Honestly who cares.

The reality is much more pathetic, he hammers refresh constantly until it pops up.

EVERY DAY

That's not cool, or impressive, it is a fucking loser having so little going on in his life that he has time to make daily appointments to smash his refresh key and post something stupid.

There's nothing to be proud of there.

[bacon-magic]

^Tulpa, cry baby version.

[Who cares?]

Aww did I tell too much truth for you bitch?

You gonna cry more bitch?

Hey, get fist to smash refresh and post your crying first so everyone can still ignore it.

Bitch.

[Who cares?]

"People still care about first posts? When did I get transported to 1997?"

[OneOut]

It appears that you do.

[Who cares?]

Hmm, I guess you're one of those idiots who goes on the internet and reply to someone who says no one cares about something by intimating that the person who posted cares about something which never made any sense to me because it's stupid and nonsensical but you're stupid and nonsensical so I suppose that actually does make a little bit of sense

[Who cares?]

"OneOut|10.17.16 @ 6:32PM|#

It appears that you do."

And it appears that you're too stupid to read for comprehension.

Do that thing again where cunts like you say people who don't care about things do care about things, because? fuck I don't know, I'm not the result of parents who are related three different ways so it doesn't make sense to me.

[GILMORE?]

Bitch, shut your yap box

[Who cares?]

Or what kind You're Nobody you can't do a fucking thing to me except I like a fucking bitch in fact that your Mo cry like a fucking bitch you wake up everyday starting the day crying like a fucking bitch then you go after people who you can't do anything too and tell them to do things that you can't actually make them do because your a fucking bitch and then when they challenge you to do something about it all you do is continue to pose like a fucking bitch

[Who cares?]

You gonna fucking cry CRYmore?

You gonna tell me to do things while havong exactly no power to enforce anything?

Poor baby, can't do shit and knows it so he decides to crymore.

[Gilmore's impotence]

Wow, he's right, CRYmore can't do shit.

But cry that is.

Hey CRYmore, beg me to stop like you begged me to stop using your name. If the only movie have backing you can't make me do anything

Trump should say: we will need to compare voter rolls to people who voted. The proof is on those asserting the election is fair.

Clinton Campaign, DNC Coordinated With Organizations To Incite Violence At Trump Events

"I'm saying we have mentally ill people, that we pay to do shit, make no mistake," says Foval in the video. "Over the last twenty years, I've paid off a few homeless guys to do some crazy stuff, and I've also taken them for dinner, and I've also made sure they had a hotel, and a shower. And I put them in a program. Like I've done that. But the reality is, a lot of people especially our union guys. A lot of our union guys?they'll do whatever you want. They're rock and roll. When I need to get something done in Arkansas, the first guy I call is the head of the AFL-CIO down there, because he will say, 'What do you need?' And I will say, I need a guy who will do this, this and this. And they find that guy. And that guy will be like, Hell yeah, let's do it."

To be fair, the media does not help. What actually happened at Zimmerman's trial and what the media actually reported on it are two massively different things.

Judge Asks How ALCS Will Be Played If Indians Logo Banned

An Ontario judge hearing arguments on an attempt to bar the Cleveland Indians from using their team name and "Chief Wahoo" logo during Monday's night playoff game in Toronto asked the plaintiff's lawyer how the game would be played if the name and logo didn't appear.

The legal challenge by indigenous activist Douglas Cardinal comes on the same day the team plays the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.

"Using a racially discriminatory caricature is a violation of the Ontario human rights code," Jilesen told the judge.

Regina activists place warning labels on Indigenous Halloween costumes

Halloween costumes depicting Indigenous women and girls in costume at a Regina store now have warning labels thanks to some local activists.

Spirit Halloween in Regina is selling costumes such as 'Reservation Royalty', 'Native American Princess' and 'Wolf Dancer'. There are similar costumes for both women and girls.

"It's precisely these types of images that normalize the sexualization of Indigenous women and lay the foundation for a culture that accepts the violence against Indigenous women," said Chris Kortright who helped place the labels on the costumes.

[Ted S.]

It's precisely these types of images that normalize the sexualization of Indigenous women

You mean they're supposed to be frigid?

(Well, it is Canada, I suppose.)

[RBS]

a culture that accepts the violence against Indigenous women

And which culture would that be? Or does Chris have a different definition of violence than I do?

[John Titor]

And which culture would that be?

I assume he means Canadian. Up here violence against First Nations women is one of the big social justice issues, both in some major cities (Vancouver mostly) and on the reservations. They consistently try to claim that there's some pattern of police ignoring violence and sexual assault against native women due to their race. When in reality a lot of it has to do with these women living more secluded lives and actively avoiding police due to their own issues (drugs, prostitution, etc.).

[Broswater]

Of course the solution is just to throw more money at the Tribal Council, so they can squander it around on their connected friends to get new snowmobiles and ATVs and leave the other non connected people sniffing gas.

Why not both?

The stupid thing is that there are only a handful of "Original Classification Authorities" - positions that decide what is and what is not classified. One of those is the Secretary of State.

Cyclists too, IIRC. They think it helps cut down on drag.

[Tonio]

Road cyclists, Asshole. Pretentious, eurotrash-wannabe, fixed-gear riding PUKES!

[tarran]

I'll translate. Most cyclists know that shaving your legs does nothing, since the skin friction drag caused by the hairs on one's legs is pretty much a rounding error to the forces caused by things like form drag (the drag caused by shoving the air aside).

The people who do do it are psychologically unbalanced.

[Rufus The Monocled]

I never shaved mine because I never raced in an organized team. Plus...no.

I just rode with guys who raced and was told racers did it for aerodynamics or something.

It reminds me of the Pentagon denial there was any "stand down order" re: benghazi ("we told people to remain in place".. totes not same thing)

A senior State Department official requested the FBI re-review that email to determine whether it was in fact classified or whether it might be protected from release under a different FOIA exemption. A now-retired FBI official, who was not part of the subsequent Clinton investigation, told the State Department official that they would look into the matter. Having been previously unsuccessful in attempts to speak with the senior State official, during the same conversation, the FBI official asked the State Department official if they would address a pending, unaddressed FBI request for space for additional FBI employees assigned abroad."

Trump fans boo, walk out on Amy Schumer show in Tampa (w/video)

About 200 people walked out of Amy Schumer's comedy show at the Amalie Arena in Tampa Sunday when she mocked Donald Trump as, among other things, an "orange, sexual-assaulting, fake- college-starting monster."

She made it clear she doesn't understand how people can support Trump. At one point, she asked for a Trump supporter - preferably one with sleeves, she told security personnel - to join her up on stage to explain their enthusiasm for Trump. One fellow did, but he said he was voting for Trump mainly because he doesn't trust Clinton. When some audience members booed, the actor/comedian invited them to leave and also asked security to remove anyone booing.

The video, for those of you who want enjoy condescension.

Politically motivated firebombing of campaign offices, third party agitators funded to inciting violence coming from the very top of a major political party, prosecution of disfavored media outlets and individuals, burdensome taxes on disfavored groups, unrelenting slander towards political opponents...

No, I am not talking about Germany in the twenties, Russia in the 19teens, or China in the 19teens, or Cambodia in the 1960's, or Cuba in the 1950's, or Venezuela in the 1990's or...

It is amazing to me how blind and stupid journalists can be. Leftists are the same everywhere and always. They are dying to do all that here and everyday getting closer to being able to get away with it in no small part due to journalists. If you work in journalism ask yourself - who the fuck do you think will be among the first up against the wall? You fucking idiots can keep telling yourself it will be the basket of deplorables while they are putting the blindfold on you.

I fully expect James O'keefe to be prosecuted over this video. If that fails he will probably got the way of Andrew Brietbart.

They spent months preaching about the dangers of political violence because one old man punched someone at a Trump rally. Now we have a firebombing of a campaign headquarters and suddenly political violence just isn't any big deal. It is almost as if they didn't mean a word of what they said all summer or something. Nah. That couldn't be. The various reason fanboys assure me that I am just engaging in mind reading whenever I don't give them every possible benefit of the doubt.

Journalists are most certainly stupid. They also support this most of them. Look at how often they are caught having violent fantasies about their political opponents or celebrating the death of someone on the right. They ignore leftwing political violence because they don't see anything wrong with it but are too dishonest to admit as much.

[Suthenboy]

It isnt just the journalists John. That is a common syndrome. An acquaintance of my wife and faithful dem/Hillary supporter refuses to discuss politics. My wife didn't understand why.

"Because she is dumb as a fucking mud brick, she's wrong, she knows she is wrong but will never change her position and she doesnt want you pointing all of that out and embarrassing her. It is as simple as that."

Once she heard it laid out plainly she agreed it was pretty obvious.

[Hyperion]

"No one ever imagines it'll be their skull under the boot or their back against the wall."

You can witness this type of delusion right here on Reason. Just listen at Tony calling for the government to murder libertarians.

[Suthenboy]

Or Tony Fischer's earlier outrage at 'venerable' journalist Amy Goodman being prosecuted for having a point of view not favored by the government. He seemed somewhat incredulous.

Sooner or later under a system like the one the left invariably builds all of the existing media structure is decimated and replaced with party hacks. There is no excuse for not seeing this coming. The words and actions too numerous to list by leftists here and the long history, some of it very recent, of their behavior give us a pretty clear indication.

Just like the idiots who voted Obumbles because...whatever the fuck their justification was...there is simply no excuse for it.

[Suthenboy]

By 'their behavior' I meant leftists in general.

[Suthenboy]

Also, I posted the first article with the link s there would be record of me predicting O'keefe being prosecuted.

Wiretapping? Slander? How will they go about it? I don't know for sure, but I am betting it will happen.

Somehow I doubt this will get any air time, anywhere. At least not more than a 5 second lead-in to the latest Trump-is-Hitler monologue. It'd be nice if Nick Gillespie wasn't at the helm, it might get some play on the pages of Reason otherwise.

Retired Gen. Cartwright Charged with Making False Statements

Retired Marine Gen. James Cartwright has been charged with making false statements during a federal investigation into a leak of classified information, the Justice Department announced Monday.

Cartwright, a former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, falsely told investigators that he was not the source of classified information contained in a book by New York Times journalist David Sanger, according to charging documents unsealed by prosecutors.

Neither the book nor the classified subject is identified in court papers. But Sanger has written about a covert cyberattack on Iran's nuclear facilities and the use of a computer virus called Stuxnet to temporarily disable centrifuges that the Iranians were using to enrich uranium

Cartwright, 67, was vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2007 until 2011, and was considered a key close adviser to Obama. A former fighter pilot, the Marine general was known for his expertise in the more highly technical areas of cyberwarfare and America's nuclear enterprise.

BTW, a friend who's a Democrat intimated that Donald Trump was using his campaign and hopefully the presidency as a platform for his reality show, suggesting that Trump being distracted by the operation of a show while in the white house was a bad thing. If this was supposed to make me not vote for Trump, he's doing it wrong.

Title: "Full of Shit House"

[Pro Libertate]

Hell, that's the best reason for voting for him. Otherwise, Trump and Clinton are so terrible that a number of people are actually aware of the name of the LP candidate.

[Zeb]

I think he should switch up his campaign and run on the promise of making the presidency into a reality TV show. If he does that, I'll vote for him.

Politico's Chief Correspondent To John Podesta: "Don't Tell Anyone I Did This"

As if there was any doubt at this point that the media is fully in bed with the Clinton campaign, Glenn Thrush, Politco's Chief Political Correspondent, decided to make it crystal clear in the following email to Podesta back in April 2015 in which he admits that he has "become a hack." The email below from Thrush was sent to get guidance related to an article he published the very next day entitled "Hillary's Big-Money Dilemma."

[John]

They are just scum.

It seems that Gary Johnson has lost Bethany Mandel, "senior contributor" at the Federalist, who explained to Stossel why she's not #feelingtheJohnson -

[bacon-magic]

He didn't grab her pussy hard enough.

[kbolino]

tl;dr her reasons are:

- Johnson tried to establish moral equivalency between Syria and the U.S.
- Johnson openly smokes dope despite it being illegal
- Cake

Both Clinton, Bush and Obama admitted to using drugs when they were younger.

[Pi Guy]

Both Clinton, Bush, and Obama... *thumb finger finger* Both... *thumb finger finger*

*scrathces melon, ponders*

I demand a recount

I hope Trump re-decorates the White House in the gaudy, gauche, glitzy style of Trump Tower.

[BigT]

The plan

[creech]

I really doubt the Clintons will hire him to re-decorate.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

He'll make the White House White Again.

[Hyperion]

If Hillary wins it will reek of that stuff they clean hospitals with.

[Hyperion]

Just imagine that in combination with old fat lady smell and adult depends. Ewwww!

[That's A Bingo!]

If Hillary wins, she can bring back all the stuff she and her husband stole on their way out.

[Hyperion]

Are you kidding, they'll take what's left instead.

[That's A Bingo!]

Still would be better than Obama's bland Oval Office and Michelle's mismatched family dining room.

[The Late P Brooks]

I hope Trump re-decorates the White House in the gaudy, gauche, glitzy style of Trump Tower.

'70s Vegas Mobster Style.

[BigT]

Complete with waiters in Elvis gear.

[Vernon Depner]

Donald Trump, Mad Prophet of the Airwaves!

[Hyperion]

Master of the power of the air. Is Donald the anti-christ? I haven't heard who that is these days. I think Obama was the last time I heard.

[Stormy Dragon]

Now I love Bob Dylan even more:

The Nobel Prize committee can't get in touch with Bob Dylan

[John]

That is awesome.

[BigT]

"Nobel Committee: Blow me in the wind!"

[BigT]

I knew a guy in college named Robert Zimmerman. Sign on his door:

"It Ain't Me, Babe."

[Hyperion]

It would be hilarious if he told them to shove it.

[Vernon Depner]

It would have been hilarious forty years ago. Now, it would just be a sad get-off-my-lawn moment.

Clinton's Email Scandal Gets Even More Complicated

That's because it's not one scandal but dozens that run together.

You know how fish swarm in order to avoid predation? The swarm is so big and so constantly in motion that predators can't single in on any fish. Well, that's how Hillary's scandals work: they swarm, so that her political opponents can't single in on any one of them.

[Bill Dalasio]

The FBI also denies any "quid pro quo" offers about the two agencies working together to allow more FBI agents to work overseas.

From the original documents:

[Redacted] indicated that he had been contacted by Patrick Kennedy, Undersecretary of State, who had asked his assistance in altering the email's classification in exchange for a quid pro quo. [redacted] advised that in exchange for making the email unclassified State would reciprocate by allowing the FBI to place more agents in countries where they are presently forbidden.

[DOOMco]

But they didnt! Promise!

[BigT]

Who ya gonna believe - the FBI or your lyin eyes??
