    Hillary Clinton calls Bernie Sanders supporters uninformed basement dwellers in hacked audio clip

    Hacked audio of Democrat Hillary Clinton speaking with donors about her then-primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, in February shows the nominee describing Sanders' supporters as uninformed and idealistic "children of the Great Recession" who are "living in their parents' basement." In this election, Clinton says, there "is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates," while...

    The House Oversight Committee has ordered Reddit to preserve deleted posts believed to be written by an IT technician the committee suspects may have deleted Hillary Clinton emails that were under subpoena. Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) confirmed that the committee has issued a preservation order and that Reddit is “cooperating.” The order "has the weight of law, you can't destroy things and hope things magically get erased,” he told The Hill Wednesday.

    Is this the 'smoking gun' that could take down Hillary Clinton?

    Reddit users claim to have uncovered new evidence revealing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s emails were altered just prior to and during a congressional investigation into the 2012 Benghazi attacks. The House Oversight Committee is now reviewing a group of Reddit posts seemingly made by Paul Combetta, an IT specialist, who worked on Clinton’s private email server. The posts, made on July 23, 2014, ask how to alter the contents of a “VERY VIP” person’s emails to strip out the “VIP” email address.

    Five Clinton nightmare election scenarios

    In just under five months Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton may be sleeping soundly in the White House. Before election day arrives on 8 November, however, she may be tossing and turning in bed, wondering if there's something out there that could derail her presidential ambitions. While the former first lady has a poll lead that ranges from dead heat to slightly ahead and an electoral playing field that gives her a decided advantage, Republican nominee Donald Trump - despite an up-and-down past month - remains in striking distance.

    Human Iguana Criticizes Alt-Right, Forgets She Too is Fascist

    “[I]n her best impersonation of an actual human being yet, laments the ‘insulting and ignorant terms’ Trump used to describe the plight of Black Americans yet conveniently forgets she described the same community as ‘super predators.’ From his bullshit crime bill to welfare gutting reform, the policies that Bill Clinton enacted—and Hillary Clinton supported—have decimated black America.” By Dr. Bones.

    The Woman’s Party

    One of the more telling exchanges of the Democratic elections took place this past February, when Rachel Maddow, moderating the New Hampshire primary debate, asked Hillary Clinton to respond to Bernie Sanders’s charge that she was not a true progressive. Clinton answered that she was “a progressive who likes to get things done” — and accused Sanders of sitting out the past three decades of Democratic politics. “Every step along the way I have stood up and fought,” she said, “and have the scars to prove it.” By Namara Smith.

    The ‘nuclear football’ - the deadly briefcase that never leaves the president’s side

    In a speech in San Diego recently, Hillary Clinton asked: “Do we want his [Donald Trump’s] finger anywhere near the button?” She was doubtful that her Republican rival was really the guy you wanted to unleash America’s arsenal of nuclear warheads which has thousands of times the destructive force of the weapons that obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki 71 years ago this month. Certainly, her opponent’s nuclear strategy, if that’s not too strong a word, is nothing if not maverick.

    Hillary Clinton Won't Be the Broadband Savior You're Looking For

    Speaking this week at a rally in Warren, Michigan, Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton re-iterated that she wants to connect every American household to broadband internet by the year 2020. The goal was first revealed in the Clinton campaign's technology platform, which states that the plan "commits that by 2020, 100 percent of households in America will have the option of affordable broadband that delivers speeds sufficient to meet families’ needs." In Michigan Clinton repeated that promise. "You know, I happen to think we should be ambitious: while we’re at it, let’s connect every...

    Is Trump deliberately throwing the election to Clinton?

    In August 2015, I wrote a column for The Hill titled "Is Trump a Clinton plant?" At the time, I wrote that I was not seriously suggesting that Donald Trump is running as a Hillary Clinton plant for the purpose of bringing a second Clinton to the White House, but noted some facts. For many years Trump, has heaped high praise on both Bill and Hillary Clinton throughout their tenures at every major office they have held since the 1992 campaign. I also noted that Trump has offered praise and campaign donations that continued for many years to prominent liberals and Democratic leaders such as...
