Can someone explain to me why criminal charges have not been brought up

against Trump and the claims of sexual assault against a 13 year old girl? That is the one thing that makes me question this.

EDIT: I was thinking about what would happen if they brought up rape charges now and I think his followers would go crazy and it would be dangerous. Maybe they want to wait until after the civil case, (and the election) to make sure the criminal case is very solid. They might be afraid that if they charged him now that violent protests would erupt. These Trump followers are people hanging by a thread with a lot of violence in them and they all have guns.

Here is a link to a list of debunked lies about Hillary. People still believe the lies!


And I must admit I had a bad feeling toward her for awhile because the negative stuff has been repeated over and over for years! So then I started looking things up. And I realized that part of the reason the GOP has had unending "investigations" into Benghazi and her emails and their lies about her have been going on for 25 years! (This site reminded me of that other site that lists all the people that the Clintons "had killed" ((according to these anti-Hillary fantasy makers)). I remember this from many years ago!)

It keeps negative media attention on her. I'm beginning to believe that It doesn't matter that they can't find anything to pin on her. The point is to keep the investigations going in an attempt to paint her as dishonest.

There have been 7 (SEVEN) investigations into Benghazi.

When I consider this I realize that Hillary Clinton is such a strong women to had kept up the fight against the republican industrialized smear machine for so long.

So here is the link and some facts that I chose to paste. There is much more at the link

http://www.forwardprogressives.com/debunking-anti-hillary-clinton-myths-lies-conspiracies/


While she was wrong to say that no emails marked classified passed through her server, the FBI director did say that none of the ones that did were properly marked, and that it was “reasonable” for someone to not be aware that they were classified: When FBI Director James Comey was asked by Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA) if the emails Clinton received were properly marked, he said they lacked the proper headers and banners indicating they were classified and it would be a “reasonable inference” to assume that, with the absence of those banners and headers, they weren’t classified. So, while she was wrong, based on Comey’s own words, she didn’t lie.



" Regarding this beliefs: She’s no better than a Republican and just as conservative" She was actually ranked the 11th most liberal senator (much more liberal than Obama was) when she served, and she voted with Bernie Sanders 93 percent of the time. So, unless the difference between Sanders and a “conservative Republican” is seven percent of a voting record, then claiming she’s “no better than a Republican” is ridiculous."

"She’s been too pro-Wall Street: Actually, aside from one somewhat pro-Wall Street vote in eight years as senator, the only other Wall Street related issue you’ll find on her record was in 2007 when she called for tighter regulations on the financial industry. And if you don’t believe me, just ask Bernie Sanders who, when asked during a debate to provide examples where Clinton had been corrupted by Wall Street, couldn’t pinpoint anything in her record where donations had impacted her voting record as a senator.

This tweet sums everything up perfectly

Hillary is proof a woman can work hard, rise to the top of her field & still have to compete against a less qualified man for the same job.

Why is Rubio leading again??? God help us!

I just donated to Patrick Murphy's campaign. I am usually asked to donate to several campaigns but I have not been asked to donate to his.

And I have heard virtually NO advertising for him. Just this one for Rubio that says something negative about Murphy.

I can't stand the thought that Rubio will be elected again! What is being done to stop that? (I know I am late to the game.....forgive me)


Rubio is the biggest slime. Remember he ALWAYS votes with the NRA.


Patrick Murphy could make great gains if he did some ads about Rubio's support for the NRA, his absentee rate, his anti-woman stance, (voting to allow any company or insurance company to refuse to pay for a woman's contraception), His votes against jobs bills and against veterans.


This is from Wikipedia

Rubio’s absentee rate of 41 percent puts him at the 100th percentile, which means that in the past year, he has had a worse voting record than every other sitting senator. In contrast, the Senate median absentee record for the past year is just 1 percent.

Many here heard my story of the crooked dentist that ripped me off. Well I have news.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028088949

Here is the original thread. Originally they were going to give me around $3,050 but they wanted $1,300 back for the last cap. I took him to small claims court and sued for the maximum which is $5,000. I just went yesterday and in arbitration they, (the ones from his office that he sent) offered me $5,000. Plus court costs.

I WON!!!!!!!!!! They have three weeks to send me a check for $5,350. I mentioned as we were leaving that if I didn't see it by then I was going to contact the attorney general, (thanks to the one who suggested that to me)







I encourage everyone to face "the big ones" that try to intimidate you.

It might be good to bring back the LONG list of Republican sex offenders.

It is here on DU from a long time ago. Since then some Republicans have made their own Democratic list but it is not near as long and the first few that I checked were only "allegations" I hate to say it but I think that it might be a good job, (I'll try to do as much as I can if people think it is worthwhile) to check out their list for "mistakes". You know, like the ones where the footnote leads to a small farmhouse in Cyberspace, The Universe.

Just because they have made a list of Democratic sex offenders does not mean we should just give up sharing the Republican one. We just have to debunk what I think will be many fake offender cases. I just checked a few from someone's list and they are including people who have just been accused, not indicted or convicted.

First in case anyone hasn't seen the list of Republican sex offenders: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1709387

And the Democratic one I got here https://whyweprotest.net/threads/handy-list-of-american-republican-party-sex-offenders.125246/#post-2591898

These were the first ones on the list:

Democratic State Senator Dan Sutton of Flandreau, South Dakota accused of fondling a male page. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/...

Only accused – Denies And NO CHARGES. FROM Jan 2007


Carl Stanley McGee, 38, prominent gay activist, assistant secretary for policy and planning and top aid to democrat governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, accused of sexually assaulting a 15 year old boy in a steam room at a Florida resort. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/gen...

Not prosecuted. He said nothing happened. Family sued for undisclosed amount of money




Bernard Vincent Ward, former chief legislative aide to Senator Barbara Boxer, self proclaimed "Lion of the Left" on bay area radio, admitted transgressions too numerous to mention. http://prosites-prs.homestead.com/ward_new.pd...

This one is so confusing. I found one blurb from the CNS news about a different aid to Barbara Boxer, (not Bernard Vincent Ward)



Davidson County Democratic Party Chairman Rodney Mullins resigned Thursday morning amid child pornography allegations, according to press secretary Jean Carter Wilson of the Davidson County Democratic Party.http://nashvillefiles.com/blog/archives/00080...

This one is true.



Former Democrat Boston city councilor David Scondras is facing charges for attempting to lure a teenage boy over the Internet. Investigators said Scondras had several sexually explicit email exchanges with someone he thought was a 15-year-old boy. http://wbztv.com/topstories/Former.Boston.Cit...

Link is broken but I checked and the story is true.

What say you?

I'm paying $24.99 every time I turn around now. Latest is season 4 of Bates motel

I got stuck on these shows and now I can't find them on the pay networks I belong to. I pay for Netflix, only goes up to season 3, Amazon video is a joke

Someone told me about a free sharing site but I don't know the first thing about how to use it.

Anyone in the same situation? I fear I'll end up paying as much for no cable as I did for cable!
