This is my favorite news story of the week and really sums up the state of the Democratic Party.
They've filed a lawsuit that will waste everyone's time, result in nothing, makes a ridiculous conspiracy theory as its central claim, even if true would be impossible to prove, will waste a LOT of taxpayer money, and doesn't mention how THEY RIGGED THEIR OWN PRIMARIES during that same election cycle.
This country needs an enema.
A reminder that they're ALL assholes:

This will open the DNC to discovery. I don't think they thought this through very well.

That wasn't 'rigging' in an illegal sense, just an unethical sense. They had rules, they followed those rules.

"Clinton Campaign" being sued for laundering $84 million in illegal contributions.
But considering the plaintiff is "The FUnd to Defend the President," who the hell knows if it has merit.
But I DO remember when the Obama campaign website would accept donations without checking country of origin.

I don't know if that's accurate. I thought that one lady had to step down because they openly broke the rules for Hillary.
I absolutely know being leaked questions by the moderator of a debate was against the rules. I also know accepting money from foreign sources is illegal. Both things were proven true, and nobody gives a fuck. We only care if Trump got pissed on by a Russian prostitute.

It's mostly true, as most of the stuff had to do with the super delegates, etc.

I thought she straight bought-out the DNC, or something. Bought their debts.

Ditto. I still don't know how they justified her beating Sanders. They can blame Russians all they fucking want, but if it was Sanders-Trump, we'd have President Sanders right now.

My guess would be the actual policies would be scarier than Trumps, but the media shit storms would be much milder.
The N.C. election board said its own audit of the 2016 election found 41 non-U.S. citizens casting ballots out of 4.7 million total ballots. All were documented noncitizens who entered the state legally, according to the audit.
0.00087234% of NC voters voted illegally.
