The US Election 2016, Part IX

Recommended Posts

They're releasing it in sections which Comey can't do anyway since he has only one (relevant) case and they hadn't (officially) seen the emails yet.

 

There's nothing inherently wrong with staggered releases, it happens all the time both within and without politics. Game companies don't release all their promotional media in one big blob, political parties stagger the release of policies that were usually developed at the same time, big media scoops/ investigations get multiple articles over multiple days or weeks etc. It's about prolonging and gaining maximum exposure. A good comparison would be to the Panama Papers, where the leakers blew their load quickly and they then disappeared from public consciousness and memory just as quickly. Maximum exposure is not the FBI's aim, Carlos Danger sourcing notwithstanding.

 

It's no revelation that Wikileaks is about self promotion, every media organisation is about self promotion. They're just not wholly about self promotion, they're also about providing a safe place to leak stuff.

After the success with #DraftOurDaughters, the latest meme is "stop" Putin from hacking the voting machines by demanding paper balots.

Not quite like Wikileaks, not like Assange should bother with worrying if he influences the election.

Russia got the hackers in there as well now?.  I guess the voting machines are like sections on a Monopoly board between Soros and Putin.

I wonder why it has never occurred to anyone that if you don't conduct business in a manner that is reckless, careless, unethical, or illegal none of this s--t would happen. The best way to keep skeletons out of the closet is to not put them in there. It sure beats trying to blame the people who fling open you closet doors. 

 

Just sayin'

I just don't get how these people email like it is private.  Nothing you do online is private.

Different generation & demographic. Though even people who grew up with the Internet or were born into it still have no clue about discretion

Would be worth more if the authors were the same. But ah well, is images.

 

 

First is from WP's editorial board and second is from WP's opinion's column by two ex United States Deputy Attorney Generals, one who served under Bill Clinton and another who served under George W. Bush, meaning that comparison is on same level as these elections are at general level "Who cares about facts, when my stories are much more entertaining"

Espicially not porn. That's how they know what countries like what kind of porn.

They even know what individual Canadian provinces prefer...

am embarrassed to be admitting how virtual all our pr0n searches is work related.  as an over-educated and single adult male who don't drink alcohol, or own a handgun, and who searches pr0n primarily at work, we no doubt we fit some kinda fbi profile for weirdo/fringe behavior.

 

HA! Good Fun!

I think by posting here longer than 3 months you fit that.

At the end of the day if Hillary had not run the private server and didn't have a reflexive need to dissemble and obfuscate if not outright lie then none of this would be happening, and the attempted hatchet job on Comey has the exact same method and aim as the "Russian puppet" accusations against Wikileaks. It's all about shifting the conversation and discrediting the source rather than addressing the issue. 

 

 

Shoot the messenger. The Clintons are notorious for it, and they have most major media outlets following suit.

You weirdo, you... ;)

No firearms? No you are fine. If you were a gun owner, THEN you would be considered an enemy of the state.

“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

Meh, US wants to play games overseas, shock. It would be akin to worrying about Obama droning right wingers locally, I think. Not sure what is the concern witb that quote on Hamas either.

So Gromnir prefers porn involving office situations or watches porn for research?

lol

 

 

In that sentence Clinton don't propose rigging Palestine election, but instead she says that USA did mistake in supporting Palestinian election especially when taking consideration fact that parties who oppose USA and its allies interests were the most popular ones. Meaning that Clinton thinks that USA made mistake in accidentally supporting its enemies and in that process undermining its allies.
