A supposed billionaire who made his fortune through cleverly orchestrated bankruptcies and shady tax breaks runs for President , He has a Tax plan that is essentially a gigantic tax break to himself. Even so, people think this billionaire who was born into money, is their chance to buck the system and get someone in power who cares about them. This guy. The one who has enough money to pay for ten Presidential campaigns at the same time has loads of people sending him their hard earned money for nothing at all. Deplorables or not, they certainly are fools. What is a right and what is a privilege? And which ones are accompanied by required responsibility? A drivers license is a privilege. The chance to vote is a right. BOTH require responsibility! I don't know about voting requiring responsibility. It is certainly recommended, but people can vote for whoever they want, even if it's not a responsible choice like, say, Muttley or Trump, What about guns, though?

Guard Dog Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Everyone is hung up on what an important job the Presidency is. But the truth is any jackass can get that job. And of the 44 Presidents we've had at least 15-16 of them had no business being there. I doubt Trump would even turn out to be the worst of them.

quidproquo Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 That's not entirely true, Pidesco. Don't think the majority of people who support Trump think he cares about them. A lot of them maybe, but a lot of them are just giving a gigantic "**** off" to the system. It's not about loving Trump. It's not even about Hating Clinton. It's about the way the political wankers have made a mess of their situation and now no one trusts the politicians or the media. In other news, Tapper, in his exuberance to go after Christie regarding Trump, edited out Clinton's use of the word "bombings" in her remarks about the... what's that... Press are attacking Trump for saying bomb about what were actually bombings? Clinton's response was much more subdued, but the media are just looking idiotic about the man now. Complaining bout tone in a matter where technically the woman said the same thing is beyond the pale. As a bear in winter, so must I too hibernate soon.

Guard Dog Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yes here firearm ownership is a right. And like a lot of other rights it is not absolute and may be forfeited if exercised irresponsibly.

Guard Dog Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The truth is the "establishment" DNC has been wanting Clinton since 2008. There is no way in hell it was not going to be her. They didn't want Obama but he ruined that for them by winning. With Bernie they took no chances and sabotaged him. But Hillary was already poison and has only gotten worse over the years. The truth is had they run someone like Brian Schweitzer, Mark Warner, Tulsi Gabbard, or even if they had not torpedoed Jim Webb this election might look very differently. A huge part of Trump's success is because Hillary Clinton is rabidly hated by 48% of the country. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quidproquo Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) "Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump were split in their reactions to the attack in Manhattan on Saturday, which injured dozens. Both shifted into the mode of combat, with Mrs. Clinton stressing her national security credentials and measuring her words, and Mr. Trump sounding a note of furious alarm." That's a news article for you. Least it was "fit to print." More from the New York Times: Headline: "White Voters Keep Trump’s Hopes Alive in Must-Win Florida" In the article: "White voters Clinton Trump 30% 51% Mrs. Clinton is competitive among white voters in southeast Florida. Black voters Clinton Trump 82% 4% Black voters are nearly unanimous in not supporting Mr. Trump. Hispanic voters Clinton Trump 61% 21%" Would observe that Clinton should be worried about the level of black support she's getting. Seems low to me. Main thing, however, is that the article talks about Trump's hopes raised by white voters. Muppet could have written that Clinton's hopes are alive because of minority voters. See here, headline could've been something more like "White voters favor Trump and minority voters favor Clinton." Personally, I think Clinton's going to win this in the end, but she should be worried by polls showing this tight of a race. Meanwhile, the Germans have their own worries. Wonder what will happen when they do national elections. Edited September 19, 2016 by quidproquo As a bear in winter, so must I too hibernate soon.

Guy goes to public forum to ask how to screw emails with an account that can be linked to his real name. And he's their "IT guy". This link is illogical and doesn't make sense The whole point of having an archive system for Ediscovery is you cannot strip an email address and then expect the data to be seen as consistent or not tampered with. You can edit a previously sent email but then when you resave it will reflect a completely different modified date. And even if somehow are able to do this on the backend server you cannot change the copy that is stored on the archive system. This is the point of " chain of custody " around email archiving/Ediscovery I dont believe this reddit story for one second, it makes no technical sense and I would encourage people to ignore this as the people propagating this as a " valid concern " dont understand much of how archive systems work or how the Electronic Discovery Reference model – EDRM is designed Edited September 20, 2016 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

When reddit told him that's impossible, he just went ahead and deleted them all But even the article clearly says " someone who appears to be Hillary Clinton’s former private computer specialist " and " so while it’s impossible to know if it's definitely him, a number of breadcrumbs point in Combetta's direction " You guys are basing your view on speculation and hearsay that this person who asked this question is in fact Hilary Clinton's previous "computer specialist " There is no real evidence the person who asked the question on reddit is who he says he is. Does this not concern you that you making assumptions around his identity ?
