As a reminder, this subreddit is for civil discussion.
  • Do not call other users trolls, morons, children, or anything else clever you may think of. Personal attacks, whether explicit or implicit, are not permitted.
  • Do not accuse other users of being shills. If you believe that a user is a shill, the proper conduct is to report the user or send us a modmail.
  • In general, don't be a jerk. Don't bait people, don't use hate speech, etc. Attack ideas, not users.
  • Do not downvote comments because you disagree with them, and be willing to upvote quality comments whether you agree with the opinions held or not.
Incivility results in escalating bans from the subreddit. If you see uncivil comments, please report them and do not reply with incivility of your own.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

articles sourced from donaldjtrump.com are supposed to post on /r/funny
[–]njmaverick [score hidden]  (3 children)
I went to donald's site. Where is the article covering his sex crimes?
[–]Kanzisbuddy [score hidden]  (0 children)
It's a rigged website. RIGGED.

I think they're with his tax returns, maybe?

I don't see how the leak corroborates the allegation in the article that her team knew that TS material was on the server.
"The rumor was not that ODNI had completed the review and determined only one was not TS and the other was, but rather that they had only reached a definitive conclusion on the one (we think the North Korea email that supposedly relied on satellite imagery) and were still deciding on the other."
In fact, it seems to be saying the opposite.
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)
Thanks for being the first person to actually investigate the content of the article
[–]Shr3kk_Wpg [score hidden]  (0 children)
There are two quotes at the top of this statement, both from Jessica Ditto. She works for Trump, but we are supposed to think she's an independent voice saying Hillary shouldn't be POTUS. Very sneaky.
[–]dread_lobster [score hidden]  (0 children)
What is this site? I thought all campaign functions were being handled on Breitbart.
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] comment score below threshold[score hidden]  (22 children)
This article got 7 downvotes within 60 seconds (assuming only 1 upvote).
[–]zachattack82 [score hidden]  (20 children)
FYI, I'm a real person and I downvoted it.
If you're trying to say this is another example of the media being rigged against you, it's probably more likely that it's decent people disagreeing with you and what you stand for.
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (18 children)
What I stand for?
What in the article did you feel wasn't worthy of a good submission to /r/politics?
[–]zachattack82 [score hidden]  (16 children)
It wasn't an article, it was a two day old statement from a campaign, which makes it basically propaganda, regardless of which one it comes from.
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (15 children)
This reached the frontpage approximately 13 hours ago, with 2,382 net upvotes, and it's a statement from a campaign.
Is it bullshit too?
[–]zachattack82 [score hidden]  (6 children)
Yup, I just downvoted it too, are you happy?
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (5 children)
This one from hillaryclinton.com just received +9 votes in 60 seconds: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/57y1qm/when_hillary_clinton_was_pregnant_in_1980_her/
Similar to how this post got 7 downvotes within 60 seconds.
[–]zachattack82 [score hidden]  (1 child)
You should take that to the FEC, I'm sure they'd be riveted.
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)
CTR is already filed with the FEC: http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00578997/. Or was that the joke?
[–]WhyDogesPopcorn [score hidden]  (2 children)
Considering how there are currently 15k people here I saw the math works out
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (1 child)
15k people agree more than Helens apparently.
[–]WhyDogesPopcorn [score hidden]  (0 children)
Can you clarify your statement?
[–]WhyDogesPopcorn [score hidden]  (7 children)
Have any of the five former presidents endorsed Trump?
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (5 children)
Would you want the five former presidents to endorse Trump?
[–]WhyDogesPopcorn [score hidden]  (4 children)
No. It just says something about Trump
[–]SuperConductiveRabbi[S] [score hidden]  (1 child)
Clinton also doesn't have five presidential endorsements; she has four. And three are democrats (and one is her husband).
[–]WhyDogesPopcorn [score hidden]  (0 children)
He has none. Romney had the Bushes and Cheny and Nancy Reagan. P
[–]ekpg [score hidden]  (1 child)
That he is not part of the establishment?
[–]WhyDogesPopcorn [score hidden]  (0 children)
That no one wants to associate with him.
[–]PaperCutsYourEyes [score hidden]  (0 children)
Then surely a better source for this story can be found than HillaryClinton.com? I absolutely loathe Donald Trump and everything he stands for, but he does have a point when the official Clinton campaign website is the #1 post in /r/politics
[–]cormacredfieldTexas [score hidden]  (0 children)
Or, in my case, I don't think a candidate's campaign website is a good source of information. I down-vote anything from any of the presidential candidates' sites.
