FBI expands probe of Hillary's email?

It's a thin line between 'taking bribes' and having the same philosophical interests as your financial supporters. Why do lobbyists spend over 3.5 billion a year though? The money enhances influence by helping politicians who support the lobbyist's causes....Duh. And it's a revolving door between high ranking bureaucrats or politicians and lobbying firms with deep pockets. Without a bag of cash changing hands or irrefutable proof of quid pro quo....it's all just politics as usual. Unfortunately.

Give it up guys. Any attempt to counter a leftist is nothing more than dealing with an energy vampire. They suck the energy out of you by baiting you to respond, then dismiss it as not based in reality.

Bruce Forkush will claim he doesn't understand English. PJ will claim his IQ is not low enough to discuss a topic. Malliber and Forkush will praise an economic system that ignores real world recent reality exposed as a route to poverty and economic collapse in Greece, Venezuala and further back, Cuba, and want the USA to convert to it. The questionable charts that Bruce posts don't mention the tax rates for the average citizen in any of those countries, nor do they show any population base. When a "country" smaller in population than most American cities decides to do things that would never work in a nation with trillion dollar economies, it isn't a model. Go totally socialist in Berkley or San Fran, and see how it works without sucking funds from everywhere else in the state and/or country. In jumps billyryan, asking for proof of the results of an FBI investigation of DELETED Hillary Clinton emails. Billy, they were deleted by Hillary. The FBI is in the process of un-deleting them. Eric Holder was held in Contempt of Congress for his covering up and actual involvement in arming Mexican drug cartels. Any libs want to speak out against that? ...no, they won't.

I'm not voting for Hillary, period. But I still think she will win the election. I'm voting for Sanders. See, I'm originally from Europe and his social democratic views are very normal to me. That's the way most countries are run in Europe. But Republicans like to call Sanders a friggin communist. The problem is most of you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Most of you wouldn't even be able to point out Denmark on a map. But at the same time you claim to know how those European political systems don't work because you've read a couple of newspaper articles online. It's Republican American unwillingness to learn from others.

Remember hurricane Katrina? A big part of New Orleans is below sea level. The hurricane destroyed most of New Orleans. The Dutch government offered to send their best water management engineers (free of charge) to help our government clear the mess and improve New Orleans' water management operations. Holland is known for having THE best water management professionals in the world. 70% of the country is below sea level. What did our government say? No thanks, we've got this covered. Guess who was in the oval office at that time? I'll give you a clue, he was Republican. Look at how that worked out.............

Unwillingness to learn from others!

Fixed

There's a reason I didn't include you... You wouldn't understand it.

Europe is a great model.

According to Eurostat as of November Europe's unemployment is over 10% and gdp is less than 2%. There is a group of countries known as the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, Greece & Spain) whose finances are bordering bankruptcy.

The people are supposedly happy, but are they really oblivious?

Ah how sweet. Hoops made an attempt at posting an intelligent "I gotcha" post. Hate to disappoint you here. Remember how that world wide economic crisis started a number of years ago (around 2008)? It was because our banks completely fucked up and caused the economic crisis. Many European countries still suffer from the consequences and have been struggling economically as a result. Greece, Spain and Portugal have similar problems. They haven't adjusted their social system enough during the last 20 years to handle the fact that people are getting older and older.

But then again, why am I explaining this to you? You have no ambition to learn anything that contradicts your beliefs.

That makes two of us then.

Just a slight correction. Iceland isn't one of the PIIGS. The two I's are Ireland and Italy.

Iceland did have a financial crisis. Thought they were in the group
