Top DNC Staffers Leave Following WikiLeaks Email Scandal (usatoday.com)

An anonymous reader writes from a report via USA Today: Following the leak of nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee emails and the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, several more staffers are leaving their positions. USA Today reports Amy Dacey, the chief executive officer of the DNC, Luis Miranda, the party's communications director, and Brad Marshall, chief financial officer, are all leaving the DNC. The statement announcing the staff changes praises the outgoing aides and makes no mention of the email issue. "Thanks in part to the hard work of Amy, Luis, and Brad, the Democratic Party has adopted the most progressive platform in history, has put itself in financial position to win in November, and has begun the important work of investing in state party partnerships. I'm so grateful for their commitment to this cause, and I wish them continued success in the next chapter of their career," said Donna Brazile, the party's interim chairwoman. Some of the leaked emails from party staffers depicted officials favoring now-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during their primary campaign.

    Wait until the RNC completely collapses after the disaster Trump has brought to the party. Now he is saying that the election is going to be rigged. This casts doubt on the entire electoral process in the US. What a scumbag. He needs to quit to save himself from further embarrassment.

    You know how rats have lots of sex and multiply a lot, but they also eat each other? That's what niggers are like.

    We can solve this problem with contraceptive darts to reduce nigger populations. An added benefit is the reduction in nigger crime. Unfortunately, it's a lot harder to control Muslim populations to reduce terrorism.

    No insults. It is the truth. Trump is a fool and you are a bigger fool for following him. He doesn't give a shit about you. He thinks you are a fool too, but a useful one.

    You keep using that word - I do not think it means what you think it means.

      Every day Trump puts more ammunition in the Democrat's arsenal. Every day this man makes a bigger fucking joke of himself. Now he's basically given a big fuck you to Ryan and McCain, with the obvious message being "I don't give a flying fuck about the Republican Party". In other words, he's an independent in all but name, who grandstanded himself into the GOP nomination, and now feels absolutely no loyalty at all to other party members who are running for election.

      I can only assume he's either a fucking lunatic, or he really is a Democrat plant intent on tearing the still-beating heart out of the Republicans. At every instance he's testing the GOP's ability to stick with him, and sooner or later, a whole lot of Republicans big and small are just going to go "Fuck it" and either hold their nose and vote Clinton, or just stay home. Even the big money bags like the Koch Brothers won't touch the guy. He's willfully castrating the GOP's ability to raise money and campaign. He is probably the worst candidate for a major political party in fifty years, if not ever.

    Fake? I am pretty sure "Armored Dragon" and "Okian Warrior" are wannabe KKK members. Basically all that Trump has left are middle and lower class bigots.

    Nice straw man argument you've got there. I bet it works great with conservatives and other people with severe intellectual challenges.

    This gets very tiresome. Your accusations are shrill, hyperbolic at best, and just plain slander at worst. Whether you're a Sanders supporter or a Trump supporter, you're demonstrating the unhinged nature of the political partisan.

    So Clinton played hardball. What the fuck do you think political primaries are about? They're a big bad bruising affair whose whole purpose is to determine who can take the most punches and still remain standing. Is that fair? No. Is it right? Not really. But it is what it is, and it has been that way for a very long time. Primaries are not love ins, and politics is not a Timothy Leary-esque happening. And considering the kind of mud your kind are quite happy to sling, whether it's true, or even rational, it seems somewhere deep down you understand that. The real problem is you're a cry baby, a sore loser, and an infantile little brat who can't accept that your favored candidate has either already gone down in defeat, or if you're a Trump supporter, that he's so insane and moronic that he's actually dynamiting his own campaign.

    No, progressive has always meant "I'm smarter than everybody else in the world and therefore my political opinions bring about progress, and anybody who disagrees with me on any subject at all is wrong just because of the fact that they aren't as smart as me."

    Ahh, the standard whine of insecure conservatives immediately before or after they say something idiotic. You tend to hear it most from people with fringe opinions (that they believe are facts) about things that science has long since debunked. You also hear it most when their BS is shown to be BS. Curiously you don't tend to hear it much from conservatives who actually are smart unless they are trying to score some disingenuous political points with their true believers.

    As I've mentioned before, progressive is a label that many groups have applied to themselves in the past, including (but not limited to) prohibitionists and Nazis.

    And here is the idiotic part I mentioned earlier. I think think we can safely invoke Godwin's law here...
