And to imagine that this clown was a Congressman and a viable candidate to run the biggest city in the US.

I don't usually celebrate when someone is sentenced to prison, but in this case...well...

21 months is a slap on the wrist and a spit in the face to the country. He got less time, as a convicted multiple offense predator of children, than some people get for having a joint in their pocket. THAT is sick.


He was protected by his fellow shills! I guarantee the judge fielded calls by them.

I wonder what Club FED country club he'll be sent to. Wanna bet he lands here: Federal Correctional Institution at Otisville, N.Y

And I bet he too will be free to roam around with his cellphone during the day and then return to the said Institution for bedtime.

That aristocratic scumbag, that was one of the things I read. I only wish someone credible would sum up courage to investigate the whole thing further.

This is one example why people don't trust the establishment.

Clinton wrote a book to change the narrative that it was her fault and try to blame others. Clinton lost because she made the decision to host the server at her house and got caught doing so. You can debate whether Comey handled things correctly or not but if Clinton did not move the server there would have been no investigation.

Late in the campaign the feds investigating Wiener found Huma's laptop, a laptop they were not aware of and that set off the second public comment by Comey. Again, if Clinton did not move the server Huma's laptop would not have been an issue.

Clinton lost because of Clinton its not complicated.

The sentence about Clinton and the book was tongue in cheek. What I think about last US elections from the beginning (I was following it rather closely since Trump announced his candidacy in May 2015) would totally go off topic. Will probably write about it somewhere else or start a topic like "What really happened - let's write our own Hillary book"

Meanwhile, the liberal teacher union spends millions defending 20-something female teachers who were bopping students and lost their job.

Are you kidding? She was 15 man!!! He knew out of the gate she was 15 and still went along. It wasn't like she duped him into believing she was older. He KNEW she was 15!!!! There's no excuse for that. There have been many cases where the girl will play older or lie, even in those cases, there's no defense as a minor cannot give consent. Had she been lying of her age, I could see some leniency, but he knew! He went out of his way to target her too. Come on man!!
