US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

"Pointed and direct question about his treatment of women." hmm, not much else to the question, is there? Just a matter of wording.

What is your source that he knew it had to do with his treatment of women?

That was from Fox, not CNN.

Exactly why I asked what it has to do with CNN

I stand corrected

Exactly why I asked what it has to do with CNN

Yeah, I was being more than clumsy.  I was just pointing out that the Brazille question wasn't the only such controversy.

I am definitely not arguing that CNN was/is centrist by any means. I think they made a mess of themselves trying to be, such as by hiring Lowendowsky.

The Brazille thing is also worse than Trump finding out about a question from Fox

Everyone should be outraged if Russia tried to influence our election in anyway. Instead the Trump supporters are acting just like Trump.

Why should everyone be outraged? I assume Russia would act in its own self-interests the same way every country would including the US. The US did a lot to influence the elections in the middle east during arab spring, is that outrageous too? The outrageous part would be if Russia managed to influence the elections by directly affecting the vote tally, since they don't have a right to vote. But if they influence voters one way or another, its not outrageous - it is to be expected

Even by hacking email accounts?

What does hacking email accounts have to do with the vote tally?

[hachover]

Also, can't pass up on Mcconnells quote that Russia is not our friend... in light of the mantra that the Saudis are our friends... maybe friend doesnt mean what we plebes think it does.

I've experienced the same among blacks.
But its kinda strange.
Because amongst them I find the biggest Jew lovers and Jew haters, I just don't get it.

The comments about blacks is strange. I don't see them as anti-Jew.

Our mailman is awesome.
Always smiling and upbeat.
Always asking everyone how they're doing and always replies with a "Thank Gd".
Wishes everyone a hearty Shabbat Shalom on Saturdays.

He's black. Not that that matters, but is it weird that I can't imagine someone white doing all that?

It doesn't. It is what they allegedly did to influence the election. Do you have an issue with them hacking email accounts to influence an election?

You must be harboring some serious racial bias.

[JTZ]

Such as her getting information on debate questions?

...and CNN provided her that? That's like saying if a DDF member says something it is the same as Dan saying it. 

[JTZ]

Or you're swallowing what CNN says.

Lets see CNN vs FIX. Who is more fair and balance? 

[JTZ]

Oh so the 60+ m that voted for him are now all part of hate groups. And BLM isn't a hate group ok.

Never said 60+ mm are part of hate groups. What I have said if you are part of a hate group the odds are you support Trump. As far as BLM and blacks in general your views are well known in these parts. 

[ExGingi]

To balance a scale you need a weight and a counter weight, so they are equally responsible for the balance

You can't imagine a white person taking pride in their job and being nice to you?

[Dan]

Not what I said.

There is MSNBC that is the counter weight for FIX.

[JTZ]

Not what I said.

Your description of him is someone IMHO who takes pride in his job and is generally a nice person. That is why I asked the question. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Taking pride in a job and being a nice person is great.
But this mailman has somehow adopted the culture and phrases of the neighborhood he serves.
