Seth won't be able to vote. He touched the ballot that came in the mail and it has his fingerprints. Hillary is going to harrass all Trump and Johnson voters with taxes

Insiders in both parties agree that Hillary Clinton has the advantage in Colorado, where every ballot will be cast by mail for the first time in a presidential election.

“For the first time ever, Democrats are outpacing Republicans in ballot returns,” said a Colorado Democrat — who, like all insiders, completed the survey anonymously. “In the past, only on Election Day itself did more Democrats vote than Republicans. This year, there has been only one day when the Republicans outpaced the Democrats. Something special is happening here.”

I only know what I know. I'm not in the business of taking small snippets of information and running off with loads of speculation. I'm just waiting to see how it pans out.

Right, and what you and I know right now is that some anonymous person has sued a candidate in an election year claiming she was raped 20+ years ago, well past the statute of limitations, and has now claimed, through her attorney, to have received "death threats." We are provided with no details, and no evidence of any of it.

So, generally, assertions made without evidence may be rejected without evidence. So, we have no reason to believe the assertions, especially when the details would be easy to provide. If there was an email threat, show it. If it's a letter, show it. If it's a phone call, at least provide the log - she would know when the call came in. At the absolute minimum, she could hold up her phone or print out a call log that shows a blocked caller ID or private number and she could say "here - this is the call I picked up that was the threat."

What's the US statute of limitations for child rape?

For a civil suit, it would be 1 year for intentional assault, and that time would start running when the plaintiff turned 18. N.Y. Civil Prac. Law § 215. A civil suit for negligence is three years, also beginning at age 18. New York adopted a special statute of limitations for victims of sexual crimes in 2006—N.Y. Civil Prac. Law §213-c. The statute provides that actions for civil damages for defined sexual crimes, including sexual abuse of a minor, may be brought within 5 years of the acts constituting the sexual offense. But, the allegations against Trump were from the early 1990s, so that law wasn't in effect and does not apply ex post facto, and even if it did apply the time has long since passed.

Yeah, it's called "voter fraud". Democrats are past masters at it.

Some fun stuff here: "The Circle of Life of a Clinton Conspiracy"

With [Breitbart backer hedge fund billionaire Robert] Mercer's daughter, Rebekah, Bannon produced the documentary Clinton Cash: The Movie. Time said in its review, "There are a lot of leaps of logic in the film" and that "the book and the movie sometimes draws connections and conclusions that aren't as solid as their evidence," but called the "insinuations" a "disheartening watch." After Bannon failed to find a distributor at the Cannes Film Festival last May, the film was uploaded to YouTube in July.

The FBI's New York bureau apparently does not read book or film reviews, and reportedly sought to open an investigation into the Clinton Foundation primarily on the basis of the allegations, debunked and otherwise, in Clinton Cash. The Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn have, reportedly, repeatedly told the FBI that there's no compelling evidence to continue their investigations, justify warrants or press charges (though some Fox anchors believe otherwise). The frustrated agents in the New York FBI office, intent on pressing some kind of charges against Hillary Clinton, were the ones who pressed Comey to review emails found in the Anthony Weiner for evidence that Clinton had mishandled classified information, leading to Comey's vague letter to Congress that's consumed campaign coverage in the final days before the election.

The FBI began leaking info of this tension to the Wall Street Journal, flagship American newspaper of the conservative, Murdoch-owned News Corp. Then Fox News, the flagship American cable news station of the conservative, Murdoch-owned New Corp., jumped on the story, with Brett Baier reporting on Wednesday night that FBI agents investigating the Clinton Foundation "had collected a great deal of evidence" to suggest wrongdoing and that an indictment was "likely." He did not say whether that information was from Clinton Cash or not.

. . . And apparently there are active agents in the New York office of the FBI who are playing footsie with Giuliani: "Meet Donald Trump’s Top FBI Fanboy"

Back in August, during a contentious CNN interview about Comey’s July announcement clearing Hillary Clinton of criminal charges, Giuliani advertised his illicit FBI sources, who circumvented bureau guidelines to discuss a case with a public partisan. “The decision perplexes me. It perplexes Jim Kallstrom, who worked for him. It perplexes numerous FBI agents who talk to me all the time. And it embarrasses some FBI agents.”

It's all a conspiracy. Hillary nevah did nuffin.

Regarding the Trump campaign's connections with Russia, and its willingness to act as a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda: "Why Vladimir Putin's Russia is Backing Donald Trump"

The Kremlin’s campaign is motivated not so much to support Trump as it is to hurt the Democratic nominee. During Clinton’s time as secretary of state, Putin publicly accused her of interfering in Moscow’s affairs. For example, her statement that Russian parliamentary elections in December 2011—which involved blatant cheating—were “neither free nor fair” infuriated Putin. He was also encouraged by the relentlessly positive comments about him by Trump, even after the Republican nominee began receiving criticism within his own party for sounding too supportive of the Kremlin, according to information obtained from within Russia by a Western intelligence source.

[Forty Two]

Blatant cheating in an election? Hillary would never do anything like that.

And, you've posted zero "connections" between Trump and Russia. What you posted was what someone thinks Putin's motivation is to interfere with our election, if indeed Russia is interfering with our election (which has not been established).

I enjoy watching you whistle past the graveyard.
