The battle to control the GOP convention in Cleveland — and the fate of party — has reached a turning point.

While the “Stop Trump” movement has unleashed a barrage of cross-country phone calls and emails to seek support for their proposals, a group of longtime Republican rule makers, some working with the Trump campaign, have quickly coalesced to try and block them.

Those Republican rule makers are also going on offense by proposing what would be relatively historic changes in order to take some power away from convention delegates this year and close more primaries to non-Republicans the next time around.

There are no rules for the Republican Convention. Not yet.

The rules will be determined the Thursday and Friday before the convention by the 112-member (aptly named) Convention Rules Committee. Traditionally those rules control the convention and govern the next four years for the party.

FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday he will not recommend the Department of Justice seek criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her personal email use while secretary of state.

What’s the over/under on how many special committees Congress will convene to investigate this investigation and then investigate the investigations of the investigation?



I'm so going to enjoy the meltdowns over this today.

Do you actually think the President and Hillary didn't know what Comey was going to say before they went out to campaign together.

Through that 15 minute talk he said what was done was not legal a felony. Then he said there was not enough to prosecute. It was ridiculous.

However, he spoke intelligently.

She is still a [BadWord] for not divorcing her husband and she still is liar.

Helen I hope you have a lot of land ownership, own a lot of small business and got your gold out of the US.

Because otherwise your fucked and so is everyone else in this country within 4 years. Then I wonder what you guys will say after it happens.

Don't forget your food. To get it you have to agree with them and rat anyone you know out who doesn't agree with you. I am sure you will be happy to rat out your friend or your relatives.

Don't worry about my money Foots, and I won't worry about yours....


I've been hearing that the world is going to end if this one gets elected, or if that one gets elected, for as long as I can remember. Hasn't happened yet.

Giuliani went down a list of legal reasons Hillary could be indicted. But we all knew she wouldn't be. Not under this current administration. Giuliani also pointed out this gives anyone who has or will be indicted for similar reasons the ability point to her case.

At the very least it should be a loss of security clearance. Anyone else would have their's revoked immediately. But that won't happen either.

Of course, none of this will matter to Hillary supporters. They are as slimy and immoral as she is.

I saw Giuliani he started that FBI director so why did he say or that and not advise to indict? I am not going to call the FBI guy a pussy. I think all cops are pussy's including him and Giuliani.

The people in government are all corrupt both parties. People are finally getting wise to it. That's a good thing.

Benghazi over.

Email thing just about over.

What's the next manufactured scandal, Repubs?

How exactly are these manufactured scandals? That you would even call them that only shows why I've been calling you a liberal hack all along. You completely lack any ability to be honest or view things objectively. You can't even admit Hillary Clinton is as corrupt as they come.

He is right Benghazi was manufacture it never happened. Those three guys never died. They could not have been saved even though they could have been saved.

The only thing manufacture was the reason for the attack. Who gives a shit about the reason. The point was they let those three guys die.

The president could have sent a rescue team he didn't. Hillary could have done it she didn't.

Yes it was manufacture you stupid bastard oak as a fan. To bad they were not related to you.

Of course OakAsFan doesn't give a shit. Neither do any of the rest of Hillary's supporters. All they care about is winning an election and saying "We're tired of hearing about Benghazi." It's why I said they're all as slimy as she is.

Do you think Obama really cared about the gays killed in Orlando. He could not have carried less about them. He never lets a Tragedy go to waste. He uses it to move his agenda forward.

Thrump is right does he really care about black people. I doubt if he even considers himself black. How black people voted for him the second time amazes me. What has he done for them are they better off now then they were before?

Does he care about Latinos. Everyone knows blacks hate Latinos. Except white bread Americans.

I was in a doctors office their was a black women there. This was before the last election. She talked about Obama like he was special. Finally I said to her what has he done for you. She did not exactly how her life is better that he was president.

Trump actually talks about helping blacks and Latinos. I wish he would go there to talk to them. But the anarchist would be there to fuck things up.

I think everyone should be able to work. Democrates want people to be dependent on them. So why help them train and get a job. It is against their interest to do that.

Some white cops killed a black guy. You know why the black guy was an arch criminal trying to sell DVDs on the street to make a few bucks?

I used to buy them on the street years ago. You could even buy them at a flea market. What is wrong with these cops they are not dealing dope or robbing people at gun point. Take everything away from them. Then they will be robbing people on the street.

The great Messi is in throuble in Argentina for none payment of taxes.

I know enough about the guy finances is not his strong suit. I am pretty sure someone he trusts did not pay and walked off with his money.

Okay, now I'm going to cry, as I still cast my vote for Hillary.

No. He didn't care at all, man. He just satt there in his Satan's layer and stirred red hot lava as he planned his socialist schemes to end America. Anyone who thinks Obama actually cares about scores of innocent people dying for no good reason is naive! A naive liberal. But not us, right? We see reality!

Voting for Hillary because she wasn't indicted is like asking Casey Anthony to babysit your kids because she was acquitted. - Dennis Miller

Only Dennis Miller would equate some silly email flub with killing a kid. And maybe Ivy League.

The principal is the same, though you're too stupid to recognize it. But I think we all know you'd vote for Hillary no matter what.

The principal is the same? School principal? Or did you mean principle? Did you really just call someone stupid? Is your moniker really "Ivy League"? The irony is beaming off of you in a bright orange hue that makes Donald Trump's orange wig look like a Shock Top bottle, cha cha - Dennis Miller

Or it could just be the pesky autocorrect of my phone. Most times I catch it. Sometimes I don't. In any event, you've already established yourself as high in the running for dumbest poster on this board. Doesn't matter what the subject is, the mob, politics, etc. You somehow manage to always get it wrong. The problem with retards like yourself is you don't know your retarded.

Oak I am going to make an educated guess about you. Your probably a kid you might be in graduate school.

What ever you know has come from books. You may even still live with daddy or mommy. They are probably divorced but they are both liberals not blue color Democrates. You listen to your professors and think what they tell you is the truth.

Reason why I think your a kid is you have to answer every post that someone makes that you don't agree with. You can't control yourself yet. That is a sign of a kid.

Aftermath of black man's shooting by Minnesota police caught on video

Video posted on Facebook Live circulates on social media as family of Philando Castile, 32, says he died after telling officer he had a licensed firearm and was reaching for wallet

A video apparently showing the aftermath of a fatal police shooting during a traffic stop in Minnesota has sparked outrage after being circulated online.

Police have confirmed a man was shot by an officer while inside a car with a woman and a child, with local reports saying Philando Castile, 32, died from his wounds.

Family told local news outlets in St Paul, the state capital, that Castile was in a car stopped by police and had told an officer he was carrying a licensed firearm, then tried to get his wallet out.

The video, posted on Facebook Live on Wednesday night, appeared to show an incident like the one police described. The video showed a woman sitting in a car with a man whose shirt appeared to be soaked in blood, saying an officer shot her boyfriend.

In the video, the woman says the officer asked her boyfriend for his license and registration. She says the man told the officer it was in his wallet but that he also had a pistol he was licensed to carry.

“The officer said, ‘Don’t move,”’ the woman in the video says. “As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times.”

At one point, the policeman can be heard saying: “I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out.”

St Anthony interim police chief Jon Mangseth said at a news conference the incident began when an officer from his agency initiated a traffic stop at about 9pm on Wednesday in Falcon Heights, a suburb of St Paul. The officer is now on paid administrative leave, he said, as is standard in such cases.

Mangseth said he didn’t have “much information” about what led to the shooting. He said the woman and child were not hurt.

Mangseth said police were aware of the video but were not commenting further.

The incident follows the police shooting of a man in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, early on Tuesday morning, and widespread national protests over the deaths of black men at the hands of police.

In Dallas, 3 dead, 7 wounded - all police.

Only about 30 miles south of me.

4 Police Officers are now dead!

11 wounded

This is bizarre. 11 officers shot? 11? I mean, seriously, how in the heck does anyone shoot 11 officers? The fact that this is taking place in Dallas of all places makes it even more suspicious.

Some really crazy footage. Like something out of a movie. Talk about killing the sympathy they were looking for.
