New Clinton email controversy

"[A Donald Trump presidency] would probaby be bad inside the US, it would probably be good outside the US"

Depends on where you live, what you expect and what bad actually means. It may or may not be better in terms of not starting another unnecessary and pointless confrontation. But on the other hand it may be someone starting a war on a whim because of feeling personally insulted. If the houses stay in republican hands, there's a good chance of them not opposing him in his decisions.

But the more important point may be that a possible Trump presidency sends a clear signal all over the world, that even in the largest economy and most powerful country, you can run on a ticket of racism, misogyny and Xenophobia without having any real substance. That will encourage all the wannabes that are already gaining ground in Europe. It will also encourage other - on the outside - more moderate parties to pave the way for nationalism and xenophobia in the belief that this is the populous demand.

Both Hilary or Trump will be bad for the USA. But Trump may also ignite the next world wide economic crisis. He's surrounded himself with idiots and yes men. And he never was the business man he claims to be. There's a very real chance of ruining the American economy once again. If that happens, it's fasten your seat belts for the rest of the world. We haven't recovered from the last one as of yet and in it's wake the populous rightwingers and nationalists rose. Just like they did in the 30ies. Another helping of a crashing global economy may just be the death blow to democracy.

Assange is a shill. He had his 15 minutes of fame in 2007 when he still had coworkers doing his work. Now he's just out for glory and doesn't know the first thing about how the world works and how many contributing factors have to be considered in terms of good and bad.
