True.
Too bad that
1) it took until after I made that post for you to bring up any laws that might be relevant, and
2) that statement was based on your post history, not your current bugbear.
It's like PD

No, that is not a confirmation. I in fact did not get my info from there. Do you dispute that Lynch and Clinton met? Literally the only fact, along with public law and logic as I see it, underlying my argument.

Do you want to answer my question that having a political relationship with Obama disqualifies you from prosecuting because he has a vested interest?
It would only do so if Obama becomes implicated in the results of an investigation, as far as I can tell from that law.
Some might argue Obama has a vested interest in Hillary winning politically, but the hypothetical linkage to Lynch is indirect. We have whistleblower protections and such for a reason. At some point we need to trust our officials to do the right thing.
Holy fuck.
This man is not losing his mind due to age.
This man has been a crazy racist bigot all his life.

I think Trump might be surprised know that many Eastern Native Americans are probably the descendants of ancient Irish who landed here many thousands of years ago, which is why they have surprisingly "white" features.
Like what the fuck... does he think every american indian is supposed to be "red" like the "redskins".
Jesus fucking christ.
Why do I still let this assholes racism piss me off.
Wut?

I'm trying to find a source for this now because I saw it on the history channel, didn't believe it, and then was told this again in college that it's very likely due to similarities in old tools, features, and most damningly genetics.
But now I can't find anything. Grr.

Yeah I saw that tonight. I like (and by like I mean LOL) how Trump's response to the last line (which the judge delivered beautifully) was basically "but what about Reverse Racism?!?!"

Fucking wow, why did I ever believe anything on the history channel as a kid. Also, misremembered something from college. I don't even know why I post anything anymore, just put me on ignore.
The ancient Japanese still landed in Ecuador, though, right?
Wtf am I smoking tonight?

Not even referring to that. I swear there was some history channel special where they took dna tests of Cherokee and found out they were all Irish or something.

Why Missouri?
Because that's where God told Joseph Smith in a prophecy.
I'm gonna make a thread about this in OT, hope that's ok.
Sure, go right ahead. You should include the news article as well!
EDIT: I posted the article in your thread.
Thanks man, you are incredible with your sources.
Thanks! I can't take too much credit - I get a lot of it from people that I follow on Twitter.
I think you're talking about the Solutrean hypothesis, which was about a Paleolithic tool industry in western Europe (the Solutrean culture) whose stone tools look kind of similar to the tools used in the Clovis culture in North America. So it was speculated that European hunter gatherers traveled across the pack ice during the Ice Age to North America. It's been debunked though, because genetic studies have shown that Native Americans are unrelated to those people but genetically related to the ancient Siberian Mal'ta-Buret' culture.
That's where the Garden of Eden and Adam-ondi-Ahman are according to Mormonism.
More juicy stuff! Trump, on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show:

I just watched Obama's speech in Parliament yesterday. Holy shit, one of his best.
Sure, let's go with that for now, and then maybe discuss it later when the FBI does that. 😇
Everyone should see Book of Mormon, only the best thing ever made.

Juicy indeed.
God, please let Clinton pick Warren. Trump won't be able to resist continuing his "Pocahontas" nonsense, giving them the perfect chance to not only call him out on being a complete racist, but also throw all of this right back at him every time he tries it as well. It's all too perfect, because Trump just can't hold it back at all when Warren is calling out his nonsense, so he'd just keep getting it brought up again and in the news cycle since he's too thin-skinned to be able to ignroe her. QUEEN PLS~
Honestly, if I were reading the signs, it would have to be Warren. She wants someone she has a relationship with, and it seems with Warren's visit to Hillary's house, their phone calls and their rally in which their body language showed a sense of ease and comradery among the two - not to mention the hugging/hand holding and the first name basis between the two, and that's not saying anything about Clinton constantly touting her in fundraising emails and social media - I'd feel good putting down money on Warren being the pick.

At this point I'd need proof of otherwise to believe it's NOT Warren.
The Clinton Campaign has been so careful since the second half of the primaries. They're aware of the attention they're getting. They know what Hillary parading around with Warren looks like. They're aware of the speculation and excitement they're causing. And people ARE excited. I highly doubt Hillary would do all this just to pull a bait-and-switch and pick someone else. The backlash that would cause at this point. It would guarantee that her actual pick would be met with a wave of disappointment.
It's Warren. Now it's time to speculate how and when the announcement will be made.

This is my thinking as well though I would prefer a different pick. Clinton has been telegraphing Warren for a while now. To go with someone else would cause a wave of disappointment and questioning that her campaign doesn't need right now.

Fun fact. I lived in Jackson County, MO for 8 years. It is the opposite of all things paradisiacal in literally all matters.

I don't think they have a particularly close relationship outside of this campaign song and dance.
I still think she's a bad choice. And potential net harm. But whatever. The VP isn't going to decide the outcome. Especially of this election.

The RNC isn't bothering with minority outreach because they know they can't sell the narrative that Trump isn't racist. They would rather let him lose without trying to sell him to minority voters then reach out to them after the election once they can try to wash their hands of Trump all together. The narrative will be "look! We've changed!"

Hillary choosing a native american as her running mate would be an uncharacteristically un-lame decision for her. If Warren is the vp, then I'll have to tearfully salute farewell to Bernie and give forma/emailghazi my vote

2012 GOP autopsy report redux. It's a catch 22. They can't function as a party nationally without their nativist, anti-immigrant white base. Yet they cannot win nationally* without abandoning their nativist, anti-immigrant white base.
*they can win by taking advantage of an economic collapse or catastrophic event but that's about it right now. The window is closing.

That's awkward.

I definitely think you're counting your chickens waaay before they hatch. Such proclamations have been made time and time again, most often in error.
There's not gonna be any backlash either against a candidate who was never picked to be VP in the first place. America is going to get to know any candidate Hillary chooses, and will decide if they like or dislike them over a period of time. It's not going to be some collective moaning about Warren not being selected. Just like the BernieorBusters are withering into oblivion as they realized they have no power, there's not going to be any disappointment that won't come on home in the end anyway.
I like Warren a lot and would love to see her picked, but the case can be made either way right now as to her being picked as VP. And then going one step further and positing some sort of backlash for not picking this already hypothetical pick... it's just jumping to conclusions or whatever waaaay too soon

So tired. Just drove from Boise to Sacramento only stopping for gas. We're heading to my fiance's cabin in Sequoia National Park. It's going to be nice to be without internet for a week, but having no PoliGAF in an election year is going to be rough.
You are an insane person if you think lynch was going to do anything other than follow the FBi recommendation. This is an abnormal level of paranoia from liberals.
Small to remote chance. But King/10 suited is better than King/10 off.

There's going to be at least 20 more "stories" like this so people better get used to it.
