General Presidential Campaign: Trump vs Hillary

So Stanford did a study on Fake News. And it generally, found that fake news wasn’t as impactful as often claimed

However, buried inside the details were a couple of notes wort more attention than Stanford gave them. The stories they looked at stories which were purportedly debunked at places like Snopes. Of those, the two fake news stories most believed by the US adult population were both favorable to Hillary! LOL

Blue here is the % that believed a story and red is “not sure.”

This Cillizza guy (WAPO) is wrong as much as anyone in his field. If his pay was dependent upon him being correct, he would be broke. But this never stops him from talking like he knows what he is talking about

Some of you may recall Project Veritas uncovered a plot to disrupt one of the inaugural balls. Some posters in here disputed the events as O'Keefe and his people laid them out, even questioning their credibility.

So, now, three arrests have now been made. The plan was an acid attack on the ball. I think the charge is conspiracy to commit assault but that could be amended.

I looked for SH's thread about O'Keefe/Veritas, but cant find it. Where'd it go?

Anyways, now getting some media confirmation that Project Veritas' infiltration of #DisruptJ20 forced them to abandon their plans

If there is anything this country needs at this time, it is a spoiled hedge fund wife with a no-show job libsplaining to the great unwashed masses

 
One of my main arguments trying to convince people on my side or on the fence that not voting (or voting for a 3rd party), was that we could not let Hillary further pollute the judiciary

 
Uh JF You are trying to slide this by us:
"The truth is... life hands all of us setbacks."
Not going to sucker me
Until I see it on CNN, MSNBC and Chris Matthews, until Martha Radditz and Bill Bye the science guy proclaim it settled science I ain't buying it.
 
Irony?

Open Secrets says Tony Podesta, John Podesta’s brother, was paid $170,000 by a Russian bank (Sberbank - Russia’s largest bank) to convince the Obama administration to end their sanctions

https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/firmsum.php?id=D000022193&year=2016

"... Podesta, founder and chairman of the Podesta Group, is listed as a key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
********
The lobbying campaign targeted Congress and the executive branch, with Podesta and other lobbyists arranging at least two meetings between Sberbank officers and Department of State officials, according to Elena Teplitskaya, Sberbank’s board chairman, who spoke to House aides in August.
**********
The Podesta Group charged Sberbank $20,000 per month, plus expenses, on a contract from March through September 2016.

Podesta is one of the Democrat’s highest profile lobbyists who enjoys close personal and business connections to former Presidents Obama and Bill Clinton. John Podesta was chief of staff in Clinton’s White House and special counselor in the Obama White House.
******************
The Sberbank-Podesta relationship goes back many years. Sberbank was the lead financial institution in the Russian deal to purchase Uranium One, owned by one of Bill Clinton’s closest friends, Frank Giustra.

Giustra and Bill Clinton lead the Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership, an integral part of the Clinton Foundation. Giustra has additionally donated $25 million to the Clinton Foundation.
