Since the beginning of her campaign last year, Hillary Clinton has steadfastly refused to disclose what exactly she said during the speeches she gave at several large banks, including three at Goldman Sachs, after her tenure as Secretary of State. Attendees of two of those Goldman speeches, both of which took place in October 2013, are now hinting at why Clinton has been so reticent. As one attendee explained to Ben White at Politico:

Ashley Feinberg · 02/09/16 03:30PMGhostface Killah Deflates Goofy Martin Shkreli Beef With Deadly Serious Video
Jordan Sargent · 02/09/16 02:28PMWhen he decided to further his surreal feud with the Wu-Tang Clan by trolling Ghostface Killah, Martin Shkreli probably assumed he would have the upper hand in a battle of making dumb videos for the internet. But today, Ghostface released his response to Shkreli (I Love the 2010s!) and it turns out to be not dumb at all.

Hillary Clinton’s supporters often argue that mainstream political reporters are incapable of covering her positively—or even fairly. While it may be true that the political press doesn’t always write exactly what Clinton would like, emails recently obtained by Gawker offer a case study in how her prodigious and sophisticated press operation manipulates reporters into amplifying her desired message—in this case, down to the very word that The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder used to describe an important policy speech.
Remaining Oregon Militia Idiots Will Do Literally Anything for Attention
Gabrielle Bluestone · 02/09/16 12:05PMThe Oregon militia standoff continues, technically, as four people continue to occupy the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. But despite their best efforts, helpfully documented in a series of idiotic YouTube videos, no one—not even the FBI—really cares anymore.
Trump Spokesperson on Donald's Pussy Remark: "This Is Not Nothing New"
Sam Biddle · 02/09/16 11:50AMKatrina Pierson, a woman paid by Donald Trump to make himself seem wise and composed by comparison, appeared on CNN to defend her employer saying “pussy” into a microphone on the campaign trail. Her reasoning is unimpeachable.

Maybe try turning it off and turning it back on again?

Jordan Sargent · 02/08/16 06:40PM
A little after 1 a.m. this past Saturday morning, Martin Shkreli did what he does more or less all the time now: he turned on his computer and began livestreaming on YouTube to his small but feverish fanbase. Normally Shkreli might strum his guitar or engage in inane conversations with his viewers, but this time, at least at first, something was different: a woman was sitting on his lap, and later she would use several needles in an attempt to drain a cyst above his elbow.
