    Just curious.

    What does open borders mean to you?

    To the bolded, doesn't that worry you about Trump? Not much of record in charity or public service.

    What does that have to do with what you quoted?

    You do realize that Hillary deleted a lot of emails and that of the ones that were top secret that were discovered had to be redacted? You also understand that if these emails on Weiner laptop turn out to be the emails Hillary was asked not to delete and did anyway they could be top secret as well. They could also prove conspiracy to cover up a crime. All this seems to be over your head.

    WOW! That was a fast leak from the FBI to the times. Let's hope the email leaks come just as fast.

    I love this bit.

    "Investigators, the officials said, have become increasingly confident, based on the evidence they have uncovered, that Russia’s direct goal is not to support the election of Mr. Trump, as many Democrats have asserted, but rather to disrupt the integrity of the political system and undermine America’s standing in the world more broadly."

    People complaining about Open Borders....don't even realize that Clinton was talking about energy policy not immigration.

    And yes, if you are saying our intelligence community is wrong when they have accused Russia of being behind hacking meant to disrupt our elections...because it supports Trump - you are a traitor. To take the side of the KGB over the CIA because it supports your candidate shows you are not a true American.

    I think open borders is opening the US to hundreds of millions of people which is Bad idea with our government policies. It would lead to us getting taxes much more and I can envision a United States that is much more dangerous.

    Are you implying the Clinton foundation is any better?

    Sweet Lou, there is a transcript of her private but wealthy paid speech in Brazil.

    She said open borders.

    She lied to America in debate three where she said it was about energy.

    They could. It doesn't go over my head, I'm just curious. From my perspective Trump and HRC have shady practices in their respective sectors. I just find the whole notion of crooked Hillary amusing when one supports Trump.

    Guess while reading you easily GLANCED over this...

    "Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump."​

    Hundreds of millions of people? Like over a 100 years? 50 years? 25?

    Answer my question first then I'll answer yours.

    Yes Russia hacked us.

    Why was Russia able to hack us? Because Of Hilary.

    Why are we having this discussion? Because of Hilary.

    Wikileaks today said that Russia had no ties to this and it's been long reported internal FBI agents who disapproved of the non indictment are leaking the info.

    You are the parent who has a terrible child and fails to own up to their own faults as a parent. If Hilary felt national security was important we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    The fact you don't want to know the truth because it came from a source you don't like is embarrassing. As an American we have the right to know the truth. All of this seems to just fly over your head. I think this is out of your league like "bigly".

    No common sense was displayed by Cometswin.

    The full text of the speech shows her comment was about energy policy. This is a fact.

    It doesn't matter how long it takes for people to come here. I have traveled via business to several countries in South America. We don't need that here.


    I'm just calling you out for being a hypocrite. Trump's foundation was unethical. Clinton's foundation was one that determined foreign policy per $$$$. That's a much bigger problem.

    "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future with energy that's as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere," Clinton reportedly said to investors in a paid speech she gave to Brazilian Banco Itau in 2013.

    English was my weakest subject growing up but I believe she was not referring to energy per official/unofficial? Transcript.

    Don't sweat it Bob! The Times is telling us there's no connection so nothing to see here.

    Why would she talk about letting millions of Mexican migrant workers immigrate to the us to investors of a Brazilian bank? Seems more likely it was energy policy, which is referenced in the quote above

    It doesn't matter how long? It matters a lot. Hundreds of million people over 500 years ain't so bad.

    So you are worried that hundreds of millions of South Americans are going to come into America over some undisclosed period of time?


    And so despite Trump doing things in his power to skim money from his charity, generally with other people's money, you believe he will not operate in the same manner as president?

    They are both shady to me. I merely think Trump would abuse his power worse than Hillary. There's been nothing concrete on what crimes Clinton was covering up on her email server. Is it what most people would expect from a politician? Using power to secure more power/money for herself and allies? Or is something actually nefarious going on?

    Um, Russia hacked the DNC not Hillary?

    You really are in a world all your own.

    Unsubstantiated. There is no evidence to say that Clinton changed policy on behalf of donations to the CGI.
