You need to ask? They shoot first then ask questions. They post stuff as soon as they get it, and then change headlines after reading through it.
They have one more plan to try if these fake folders don't work:
Hopefully Gerald Ford and Homer worked to stop the madness.
Seeing these dipshit twitter accounts melt down like /pol/ did after Romney lost is what gets me going through it all.

Becuase the breaking news was that he "claimed" to release these docs. They clearly said "he claims" and hadn't verified.
Hell even RT does the normal hedging with "claims" and "allegedly"
This is never trump money
Maybe he wants to show he has support and maybe a huge supporting crowd will help his case.
Isn't that why he started trying to court the black vote?

A little disappointed there wasn't a "medical records" folder, too. If you're going to fake it, might as well go all out! B- effort overall.
Hurricane continues to be annoying. ~25% it'll turn into Florida, ~25% it'll clip North Carolina, and ~50% it mirrors the coast. Land interaction hasn't been weakening it as much as we'd have hoped for. Chances of it not having any impact in terms of wind and rain are nearly zero. I'm really worried people are going to panic about it at the last instant considering there's been almost no national coverage, despite the fact that this scenario set itself up almost 10 days ago.
Light-hearted trivia: The National Hurricane Center names its aircraft after muppets. The Gulfstream-IV "Gonzo" gets the most work, with Miss Piggy and Kermit in reserve.

This was an embarrassment for Politico. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt at all
Unless that hurricane affects his abilty to travel to the next debate location he probably has no excuse to ditch it.Dude can probably figure out alternate travel plans to ditch the worst of the hurrricane. It's possible the debate gets postponed but I'm not sure about that since it's in Missouri this time.
I was kind of thinking something like that yesterday. Being in metro Phoenix area would surely invite some protesters as it has in the past. He wouldn't have any problem getting a crowd in Phoenix, but in Prescott... small enough that any dissenters probably don't want to be very public about it.

Perhaps it's because I have plans and won't be watching, but I am convinced tonight's debate will have zero impact and be very dull.
Oh wait, that's not because of sour grapes, it's because it's Kaine and Pence. Zzzzzzzz.

Seems like the demos in the SUSA NC poll finally were decent:
They have Burr up 2, Cooper up 4.

History is on your side. I'm pretty sure the VP debate never has an impact.

We're just working backwards. You want to hate that politico posted this even though I see nothing wrong with their reporting or any lies or mistruths. They're not going to not report potential leaks.
They're not the clinton campaign, they didn't lie.
Maybe its not what clinton supports want them to do but attacking the media for something that wasn't wrong seems way too defensive.

Why are you defending poor journalism? They need to verify reports before posting it as news. This isn't even the first time this has happened. This isn't even the first time this has happened this week

Has there been large leaks of other governments besides the US and some European countries? I think wikileaks released files on Syria.

Trump was in Prescott today? LMAO of course he was. I regret spending 4 years of my life there.

Maybe have gone through fact checking first? All this tells me is that I can whip up a fake list of folders, fill them with junk, host it on a sharing website and send the link to Politico with the header "Clinton met with aliens leak - TOPSECRET" and they will publish it.

What is the point of local news stations that interview the parents of men that kill their SO, their children, and themselves?
I mean... I don't think that the parents of the killer are going to be able to clearly think through the issue just a few days after it happened.

Could republicans end up doing worse in Iowa in this election then in 2012 even if the dems do worse than 12.Like I can see the republicans getting around 45% in Iowa while the dems get around 51% for example. The dems may be able to scrap by with a 6 or 7 point win in Iowa if they get lucky.

I mean, yes, but they are now well behind their 2012 benchmarks after being ahead before. That's not good. Dems aren't dong as well either, but now it's not nearly as perilous.

Poorly written. This is what that ment
Politico isn't an arm of the clinton campaign, they have no responsibility to go to bat for them (the campaign)
Politico didn't lie in its report, it prefaced it with "claims"
Don't stick your dick in crazy, man.

That's the National Enquirer approach to news. Take something that may or may not be true and add a modifier to it so you can't be sued for publishing misleading info. News organizations have an ethical duty to at least attempt to verify stories before publishing them.
Maybe to avoid a situation like this politico shouldn't post reactionary pieces without waiting 5 mintues for things to play out:
Or is that not an undesirable outcome?
Like I get that Politico doesn't have to give a fuck about what's best for Clinton's campaign but at some point they have put up enough bait pieces/headlines/reactionary pieces to edge into the territory of bad journalism.

Weird hill for NYC to die on. Come on.
GOP requests were front loaded. Hopefully Democratic requests are more back loaded and they perform well in early voting.

Nate Cohn ‏@Nate_Cohn 7m7 minutes ago Washington, DC
Upshot/Siena poll in NC hints at why the debate might have given her a clear lead in NC. We had Clinton+2 (+4 h2h) with a modeled electorate
They're talking about their NC poll, and why this makes sense that she's increased her lead post debate.

http://www.aei.org/publication/how-trumps-praise-of-putin-could-cost-him-the-election/
an interesting read on how Trump's embrace of Putin will cost him votes from Americans of Eastern European descent who despise the former USSR and Putin.
remember '76 Ford's debate flub? ''there is no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe''. Lost swing states that had huge pocket of Americans of Eastern European descent.
something like that

there's a chance it's only a cat 2 by the time it hits the Carolinas/Virginia
but also there's a chance it'll randomly weaken to a cat 1 and then restrengthen to a cat 4

I can't believe they closed the Toys R Us in Times Square. I know that FAO was the real NY landmark that actually mattered, but the "Toys R Us with the Ferris Wheel" was probably the first thing I ever heard about Times Square.
I went to New York last year and finally went in it. It wasn't overly special. The Ferris Wheel wasn't running, the dinosaur animatronic was only minimally functioning, and a part of the store dedicated to Wonka Candy had all the lights turned off. Still, it was one of those things I always knew was there. It felt good to see it, even as an adult.
I'm going back to New York for a couple days next week and was trying to get my bearings on Google Street View. I kept trying to get directions to the Toys R Us, the easiest landmark I knew for navigation, and it's just gone.
It's a small casualty compared to something like Carnegie Deli or the afore-mentioned FAO Schwartz, but man, now it's going to be an Old Navy. Boring.

Why am I dying on a hill?
I'm very confused on what you guys are accusing me of.
What I'm worried about is a hack of something related to the clintons being legit but having some technically and you guys jumping on to blaming the media or some weird technicality that doesn't excuse the actions.
I'm criticizing you for the same thing you're criticizing politico of, Rushing to judgement.
Let me once again post my absentee ballot spreadsheet
