Their Bolshevik-style party discipline means this is probably already torturous for them, to not be voting for the Glorious Party. To even go thus far must feel devastating. But to work against the Party?

Which is a tragedy and I hope his barely undiagnosed mental illnesses talk him around to changing his mind.

Establishment Republicans should be doing literally every single ting at their disposal to stop Trump from getting elected. Because if he does what do you want to bet that he enacts some Stalinist-esque purges of the party 'unfaithful' that didn't immediately suck his dick from day one? At least they won't be shot and buried in a mass grave in a dark forest somewhere I guess (maybe)

I have literally seen weather reports copied from public sources that were marked as classified and then distributed through secure channels without a hint of irony.

Yea, I have seen people who have seen 4th of July party invites listed as classified. The dumbest thing though was someone suggest that "what if Hillary had an enemies list on her email server that she deleted to hide who she is going to have killed when she's president". Yea, and maybe her sexy emails between her and Lord Xenu where on there.

Crain posted:So, with the whole "Hillary used a PDA to order Drone Strikes" as the new chapter of the emailgateghazi-saga, I decided to ask my father what the hell was actually up with the whole thing. Specifically he is a CISO in a government Agency, has been a CIO, has been a webmaster, sys-admin, and most other computer and system security related title/job combos in the government since like the 70s. I know no one else who could have more experience with exactly what this is (As in literally out of all the people I personally know). I appreciate this post. It is very good. Very good. Is there a similar post that explains what the gently caress Ben Ghazi is actually? I always figured it was something along the lines of "government procedure and budget cuts lead to embassy being ill prepared for a large scale attack", but nothing that would scream gross negligence or point all the way back to Hillary.

Nessus posted:Does this mean that going outside and observing that weather represents an unforgivable violation of INFOSEC which we just can't let go, or would that only be if you discuss the weather with others? In reality everybody acts like it never happened, of course, because it's super dumb. Technically if you see information above your clearance you need to be debriefed IIRC, but you aren't in trouble unless you tell others about it who don't have the clearance for it either.

That plus, it was the same day as a poo poo ton of protests across the entire middle east and arab world about that lovely movie that sad mohammed was a pedophile. So the US beefed up security in a bunch of places where there was significant rioting and unrest. Basically, the world was on fire that day, and they guessed wrong where it would burn brightest

He's going on a major charm offensive to try and raise that % as high as possible so that he can act as a more effective stump for Clinton, and it's an extremely smart move because the major thing that is lacking in Clinton's campaign thus far is likeability. It's going to make some people think "alright how can she be so bad if the coolest motherfucker on the planet is saying she's dope?" Not everyone, but some.

Dead Reckoning posted:The DoD maintains a separate, secure channel for requesting weather in addition to the normal one. The data might be the same, but sending "hey bomber squadron, here's that 72 hour forecast for downtown Tehran with flight level winds between 21,000 and 25,000 feet" over unsecure channels might reveal capabilities and intentions, to say nothing of raising a few eyebrows, even though the underlying data might be unclass. Sadly that's not what I'm referring to.

quote:There really isn't a coherent theory of Clinton's culpability. Some folks think the administration knew it was a 9/11 anniversary attack but blamed it on the protests over the Prophet Muhammad film because the optics were better, some claim that the DoS had intel about 9/11 anniversary attacks but did nothing to step up embassy security, and some think that DoS or the administration didn't intervene or send reinforcements to the compound under attack because they were too hesitant. None of it is terribly substantive. Holy gently caress. You're one stupid son of a bitch

Isn't it essentially true that the Benghazi attacks were planned for a different time or something, but the plans were moved up when they saw the protests because that made it more convenient and gave them cover? So the protests actually were involved?

Presumably, the point is to drum up or massively overstate conspiracies and "scandals" that makes the uninformed and low information voters dredge up nonsense when talking politics with their friends that may swing their opinions. They don't have to be true or even reasonable claims if it helps conservatives muddy the discourse with their friends and family. PS thank you thread for the info on the email thing, as a big Bernie supporter who was very disappointed by the results of this that has made it a lot less frustrating of a loss. Now I need to go through the process of telling my other liberal friends that Hillary isn't going to be indicted by the FBI and Bernie is in fact finished.

How often do people report for debriefing because they saw some article on Snowden in the paper meaning they now know SAP information? I'm sure there are some idiots who take matters to this extreme, just curious how frequent it is.

Lemming posted:Facts and reality are irrelevant. They never had a leg to stand on. Yeah, important to remember is that it was all about how Obama let Americans die. They didn't pivot to Clinton until after Obama won the election and they needed to use the cudgel against someone that was still going to need to run for office.
