The email leaks are pretty damning. A metric ton of political dirt.

The reveal that the DNC chairman was working actively against Bernie's campaign when she was supposed to remain impartial showed dishonestly and a lack of faith in a democratic process.

Debbie whathrface resigned, only to be immediately appointing by Hillary to chair her election campaign, which begs the question: as president will Hillary reward fraud if it'd done to her favour?

It's amazing how many smart people think that because alcohol is a depressant, the thing it's depressing must be overall mood over months.

It makes me wonder about the sense of resignation they must feel when they see a road sign that says "depression ahead".

If anyone still cares about this, here's what caused it.

The guy in the video took a sabbatical, so he is gone as well, at least for a while.

This has become a pretty big issue in Japan recently, especially since a couple of years ago when it was discovered that prosecutors in the city of Osaka had unlawfully obtained confessions fabricated evidence for dozens of cases. The scandal led to lots of resignations and calls for re-trials.

There have actually been a lot of people in the past couple of years let off death row here because new evidence (DNA, crime reconstructions, etc.) has shown that they could not have been responsible for the crime. Still, the system is totally borked right now and the police/prosecutors have most of the power. There's been a lot of talk about the changes that need to be made (limiting interrogation times, requiring all interrogations to be video recorded, etc.) but nothing concrete has happened yet AFAIK.

NYT says it outright. Most of those resigning haven't gone to the church in a long time, and you know they haven't been tithing.

Need to get the tithers to step up to the plate.

I've been reading these news reports closely.

I am afraid that the people resigning aren't "core" Mormons, with temple recommends. I am afraid they are people who have already drifted away from the church and now they are making a political statement that isn't going to make a difference to the church leadership.

One person was quoted, in another news report I read, that they hadn't gone to church in 17 years and they were resigning today.

Having said that -- I am 100% convinced that the Mormon Church will eventually allow gay people full membership. Because, even if few of these resigning are "core" members of the church, more and more gay kids are coming out of the closet. And as they become more visible, as they are more and more accepted as human beings "made in God's image", it will be harder and harder for parents' to choose their church over their children.

And there is a mechanism for change in the church -- hence full membership for blacks when it became impossible to continue the overt 1800's racism of the originators.

It's coming for the Mormons. When loads more people quit and take their 10% tithing with them... well, the Mormons are excellent business people. They aren't going to cut themselves off from their revenue stream.

I say it will be within 30 years. Maybe even sooner.

oh, and some good news....
