GalacticAcid posted:Pretty good run from TheDisreputableDog, but the last post was too obvious. So, admittedly I haven't posted here in years. But has this become a place where laying out arguments and facts that make the left look bad is "trolling" while statements like "FYI 95% OF PUBS ARE WHITE MALES" are considered de rigueur sabre rattling? This is kind of an honest question, since what I've posted doesn't come close to some of the anti-right invective I've seen since I started lurking again.

Sid Blumenthal -- who was blocked from joining State Department, but was instead hired by Clinton Foundation while simultaneously having business relationships with firms seeking Libyan contracts -- had an email address that appears to have been chosen to mimic a white house/state department email address, mimicked State Department formatting in sending non-intel "intel" that served to further to enrich said business relationships (some of these people themselves having financial relationships with the Clintons through other means), and these emails were sent out by Hillary Clinton personally to various key figures on Libyan policy including the late Ambassador. Nope, nothing amiss here. Just a Republican conspiracy. edit: also a shame to see Vox becoming a tool for Republicans... http://www.vox.com/2015/5/16/8614881/Hillary-Clinton-took-money quote:The latest episode in the Clinton money saga is different from the others because it involves the clear, direct personal enrichment of Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate, by people who have a lot of money at stake in the outcome of government decisions.

It's not about the platforms, it's about my [City Name] [Sports Team] beating your [City Name] [Sports Team]. For the "low information voter" as Rush is oft wont to say, that's all that matters. The average voter doesn't really understand what government is there for, or provides- outside of the military (see: "Get your government out of my Medicare!" etc.). The election is a sporting event. That people care about hot button social issues more than statistics or economic and financial matters should come as no surprise; humans are social creatures... and math and history class loving sucks.

For the "low information voter" as Rush is oft wont to say, that's all that matters. Maybe for some. The worst part of politics is how easily distracted the average voter is by meaningless social issues. Joe Blow Midwestern Evangelist will vote for the candidate that screams loudest on protecting Traditional Marriage and banning abortion, and ignore the fact that they are raiding his social security and recording his phone conversations. Or being actively bribed by SuperPACs. I want so badly to be involved in politics, or to care about causes. The white noise is loving unbearable. Apathy occasionally gives way to periods of intense concern, then I just drift right back to apathy.

Is there some problem with him working for the Foundation and also advising people who were trying to do work in Libya? quote:had an email address that appears to have been chosen to mimic a white house/state department email address An AOL email address which was SB (Sid Blumenthal) WHO (White HOuse) EOP (Executive Office of the President.) Hm. I forget. Did Sid Blumenthal ever work in the WHO/EOP? Oh, he did? Back in the late 1990s under Clinton? Isn't the late 90s when people actually used AOL email addresses? Dude set up his email address 20 years ago with where he worked in it because he worked in the White House. I'm sure he did so so that 20 years down the road he could try and trick his old boss and personal friend into thinking he worked for the President. Arkane posted:mimicked State Department formatting in sending non-intel "intel" that served to further to enrich said business relationships His emails are standard memos. That's what memos look like in politics. Where he worked in the past. Do you think he might have been sending them in that format because that's what he was used to writing in, or what he was receiving them in from other people? Or, no, must have been part of some crazy plan to deceive everyone.

With frequent "interesting, if accurate" and "can you tell me what this is about" notes. Her staff pretty clearly took it as unreliable information she was passing along from someone she trusted, which - oddly enough - is exactly what it was. Arkane posted:Nope, nothing amiss here. Just a Republican conspiracy. Pretty much!
