Biden wants to talk smack about Trump; in his arrogance, he shoots himself in the foot:




Japanese seem very supportive of Trump, after this, they'll want him more.

Also, take a look at Hillary. She seems to be only half-listening, thinking of going back to bed once this is over.

I talked to a guy in a bar recently who worked for a partisan political lobbying firm (supports the Republicans) and asked him why the DNC chose Clinton when it was obvious that Sanders was the stronger candidate. He told me that several years ago all the major DNC players made a deal with Clinton to fully support her presidential run. So, they were trapped into supporting her to the hilt even though it's obvious she's one of the weakest candidates they've had in years.

1. Biden...he's like the Democratic Trump that they will never play

2. Ever since the Orlando shooter appeared I've been paying attention to, but not screenshotting the crowd behind hillary at rallies. Up over their right shoulder in the background is almost ALWAYS a muslim. This clip has a brown guy, looks middle eastern. A few days ago it was a girl ina bright pink hijab.

Yep he is correct. Part of that deal was Obama helping her to gain credibility for a presidential run by making her Head of State, so she could have enough on the job experience. If you recall, one of the major reasons Obama beat her back in 08 was because he actually had more work experience in government and she stuck her foot into her mouth about hers. Her excuse back then was that she lived in the white house for 8 years as the president's wife....

Yeah. Great resume lady. Should have stuck to Senator of NY experience and left it at that.

When she tried to claim she advised Bill, that fell flat as well when others pointed out that she had no security clearances to discuss foreign policy with him. Obama ripped her up for that. That is one of the major things that hurt their relationship early on back then. It took Bill to sell her and to Obama a deal to end the party rift by giving her a major appointment. VP would not be enough, she wanted his top spot (State Dept.) That way no one could question her on foreign policy in 2016. Again, gotta give Bill credit for peeping the game. He saw Obama about to run away with it all, so he worked in a quick deal and sold it to both sides, before leverage was lost. Very smooth.

Unfortunately for her, she was a complete mess as Sec. of State and an embarrassment in that post. Notice that she only held it long enough so that she could start getting ready for a presidential run. Then years later we find out about the servers and email debacle.

It's alot like a school principal giving a senior student a job being a hall monitor or Assistant Principal for a week, used that week to help others skip class,get blow jobs in the stairwell, and solicit thugs for favors. Then when he graduates from school, he thinks he is qualified to be a school principal of a school himself.

This woman's entire life has been all about taking shortcuts to the White House.

Comey trying to play Congress, again....


Quote:FBI 'improperly' restricting access to Clinton probe files, senator says
Published August 18, 2016 FoxNews.com

NOW PLAYING
FBI turns over Clinton email file to lawmakers
Congress may have the FBI’s documents on the Hillary Clinton email investigation – but Republicans are complaining that the way the files were handed over means only a few lawmakers can actually see them.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, says the bureau has “improperly” limited access to the files, by mixing in classified information with the rest of the material.

The result: a cache of documents that only some can see in their entirety.

In a letter Wednesday to the Senate's security director, the top-ranking senator has asked that unclassified portions be provided to his staff – and chided the FBI for providing the files in this way.

“As I have expressed to the FBI in the past, it is inappropriate to unnecessarily mingle classified and unclassified information,” Grassley wrote.

The move comes after the FBI on Tuesday provided documents sought by Republicans on its investigation into the former secretary of state’s use of a private email server. This included summaries of interviews and other key documents.

The FBI, in doing so, warned lawmakers not to leak the files from its investigation involving the Democratic presidential nominee, noting they contain classified and other sensitive material.

Grassley, however, wrote in his letter that “a substantial amount of the material appears to be unclassified or has been explicitly portion marked as unclassified.” Notably, he said the interview summary for Clinton aide Huma Abedin and others appear “entirely unclassified.”

Yet because some sections are classified, access is restricted to the documents.

Grassley, asking Senate Security Director Michael DiSilvestro for unclassified versions, said it was "regrettable that the FBI has imposed the burden of this task on your office by improperly comingling so much unclassified material with classified material."

Congressional aides told The Associated Press that the investigative materials demanded by House Republicans are being kept in a secure room on Capitol Hill typically reserved for the nation's most closely guarded secrets.

Access to the guarded room is restricted to members of the oversight, judiciary and intelligence committees and their staffs. Those without sufficient security clearances can read only redacted versions of the files and are forbidden from making copies or taking notes.

Republicans, meanwhile, insist that Clinton lied to Congress about her handling of emails when she testified last October before a House panel investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. The GOP is pressing the Justice Department to open a new investigation into whether Clinton committed perjury and sought the FBI documents.

FBI case files are typically kept confidential after an investigation is closed without a recommendation for charges, and the Clinton documents were sent to Congress accompanied by written warnings not to leak the information.

"These materials are nonpublic and contain classified and other sensitive material," FBI Acting Assistant Director Jason Herring wrote. "For that reason, these materials may not be further disseminated or disclosed, in part or in full, without obtaining the FBI's concurrence."

Democrats, who have suggested Republicans are likely to leak portions of the FBI file selected to do political damage to Clinton, said they will comply with the FBI's request not to release any information without the agency's permission.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, warned this week that providing the FBI's confidential notes to the Republicans will discourage witnesses from cooperating with future investigations.

"The history of the partisan Benghazi investigation made it clear that any information that can be leaked by the majority to the prejudice of Secretary Clinton, will be leaked," Schiff said.

Democrats, though, were the ones who first released an FBI letter to the House oversight committee regarding the documents.

What a dickish move he just pulled. Mixed up stuff knowing damn well that only that only a very select few on chair committees have the access to view up to Top Secret.

I don't know if he is trying to buy Hillary more time by stalling, or he really wants to stick it to congress for that grilling they gave him. Either way, he isn't helping himself win any allies or friends in Congress once shit hits the fan. If more leaks release, no one is going to believe him on the next testify with Congress on why he hasn't done anything.

Where has the address been published? It would be easy to go through other sources to see if the handrail was indeed there prior as Google Maps is not exactly an unbiased source.

Looks like the image for the meme was from this AP photograph presumably taken in 2008 (the article is from August 2008). It's clear that in 2008 there was no handrail (you can see this even in the street view picture from Google Maps, you can click and pick a previous street view picture). I was unable to get another good shot of the front of the place to corroborate with Google Maps but the source of the meme picture is clear.

Guys, no need to take the 'hand rail' too seriously.
It's just amusing in & of itself.
Can't really say it was ever supposed to be a 'smoking gun'.

Somebody in Penn just check construction permits for the address. That should be public record.

Yahoo! News covered the story, but they buried it in the Beauty section. FoxNews posted a story about it on their blog. Those, plus a Washington Times article, appear to be the only mainstream outlets that have covered it.

You wouldn't have needed to pull a permit for that.

No need. The handrail is there in this 2012 pic from Google Maps.

It's an old person's home, which is why Hillary choose to visit it.

#whereshillary is now trending until its squashed like other anti hillary tags. It seems more random than the stools hashtag but the the answer in tweets is she is meeting with CNN, sick and more. Some nice memes in there.

Notice they start off with this diversion showing Biden get out of the limo and greeting the homeowners. This buys time for Shrillary to get out of the car.

Then Shrillary shows up, but you never see her get out of the car (probably struggles and needs help). She immediately reaches for the hand rails when she gets into the video frame (I wonder if that was installed for her?).

She keeps reaching for the hand rail. Then at about 0:55, notice what she is doing? She is leaning into Biden.

In the house, she has her hand on a chair or table the whole time.




At 0:56, what's that rectangular bulge on Hillary's leg?
