1. Boilerplate talking points strung together with 10th grade syntax. Well done!

   1. Sorry, I hoped it would be something Democrats could understand.

      1. Oh, we understand, dear. We are perfectly capable of knowing total fact free bullshit when we see it.

         1. I'm a conservative Republican and agree that P.P. did a piss-poor job. Am I the only one who sees a lot of resemblance between Powerful's comments and those of Moderatus? Maybe one and the same person?

2. Richard Painter, the Bush administration Ethics lawyer (2005-2007) filed an official complaint with the FBI’s Office Of Special Counsel about Comey's action. Daily Kos summarizes and quotes from his explanation in the NY Times.

   Painter takes pains to explain that this is not a joke:

   The FBI’s job is to investigate, not to influence the outcome of an election

   Painter comments that absent highly extraordinary circumstances, Comey’s conduct does rise to the level of a Hatch Act violation and also may violate a prosecutor's obligations under the Rules of Professional Conduct. He emphasizes that neither Comey’s actions, whatever their motivation, nor Painter’s action in filing such a Complaint, are something to be taken taken lightly:

   This is is no trivial matter. We cannot allow F.B.I. or Justice Department officials to unnecessarily publicize pending investigations concerning candidates of either party while an election is underway. That is an abuse of power. Allowing such a precedent to stand will invite more, and even worse, abuses of power in the future.

3. Wow. You really believe this stuff, don't you?

   "The Clinton campaign would have been defeated on November 8." Which polls are you citing? Even Fox news says Trump's in trouble.

   "Senators and congressmen enter service with modest means and leave as the 1 percent." Which Senators and Congressmen had modest means? Bernie Sanders? Most of the rest were independently wealthy before election, or rely on investment income. Clinton self-appointed investigator and born-again Obama BFF Darrell Issa tops the list of Congressional multimillionaires.

   "Clinton corruption is a clear and present danger to America." Sorry, Clinton corruption is business as usual in Washington. My candidate was Bernie Sanders, who demonstrably was not corrupt. However, if Sanders had by some miracle gotten the nomination, you all would be hollering bloody murder about "free stuff" and "socialist menace", all the while cuddling up to Vladimir Putin's cold-eyed KGB plans for the US to have a dorky puppet as Commander in Chief.

   One more thing – notice the red text? That's called a hyperlink.  You get it by highlighting a claim, pushing the chain link icon, and pasting in the url for the source that you are citing. If you ever want to have a decent debate, let alone any credibility at all on here, since you're apparently with us for at least another week, learn to cite your sources. Or at least paste the links, AC style.

   1. A decent debate? I assume you have read the comments from your fellow Pols, not exactly on sync with your Candidate moto, Stronger Together. Most responses are childish and don't even reach 10th grade syntax that I was previously criticized.

      No, unless "DawnPatrol" wants to have my account suspended I'm with you. It is fascinating to get the opposing view if you can find it within all the hate remarks.

      1. Pols won't suspend your account – controversy brings comments, clicks and advertisers. You're actually helping the site.

         For a decent debate, start citing your sources, even if you have to just paste the links. As I wrote, previously.

         1. Not against making money.

            1. Your reply to mama  seems to have nothing to do with her comment but , as she notes, here's how you get credibility in debates on this site. I know it's not the way it's done on rightie sites but here when you make accusations or a statements of fact you are expected to back them up with things like links to reliable sources. We don't just make stuff up and present it as fact like your rightie sites and talkers do. That's probably why studies cite Fox viewers as the least well informed.

               Now watch this. A link to a source. Forbes OK with you?

               1. Fairleigh Dickerson University, now there is a bastion of higher education. Only 502 private colleges rate higher. Maybe the next time the Forbes writer will contact the University of Phoenix.

         That is why you came here?   HAHAHAHAHAHA!

4. What is this unsubstantiated, lie- and distortion filled, unadulterated, stinking, steaming pile of right-wing horseshit claptrap even doing on COPols?

   Please don’t do this again. These psycho righties have plenty of other places to spew their demented lie-filled projectile vomit.

   1. You should petition the Pols to suspend my account so your safe space is not threatened. Free speech for anyone other that Democrats is not your strong point. The Geico commercial tag line comes to mind, "it's what you do".

5. I will give this new troll a "6.5", so far. not particularly impressive.

    

    don't even reach 10th grade syntax that I was previously criticized.
