Northjayhawk posted:Media: you need clickbait headlines and page views. You need ratings, and this email scandal is delivering even though pushing it means you might destroy the world. OK, fine. Personally, my theory is that journalists have concluded Hillary is going to win and they can earn Serious Pulitzer-Earning Journalism cred by making hay over stories about the future President and ignoring stuff about the loser fascist. They don't give a poo poo about politics or the future of the country, they just want to make money and earn awards they can show off with to other, lesser journalists.

Gyges posted:Harry Reid is being Harry Reid. The FBI is not likely to be sitting on smoking gun evidence of Trump and his crew being blatant Russian stooges. No more than is already public anyway. The FBI is certainly running several investigations on Trump and his various interests that have arisen from his actions this cycle. These investigations are an open secret. it'd be pretty funny if he trolled comey into publicly releasing info on an investigation into trump-putin connections and guaranteed both sides hating his guts

Complaint Compilation posted:All people other than you are white. Don't you get tired of being a low effort racist troll? Mel Mudkiper posted:That's the thing though. I think we can both agree that blackness is not a monolithic position with a monolithic outlook on its role in America. Moments on this very forum have shown that people of color can disagree significantly on positions of race in America. I don't think its fair to claim that because I am asking you what you think I am asking you to speak for the monolithic entity of black America. I also do not think its fair to claim just because I do not understand your position that I have never done research into the issue at all. When it comes to discussions of a race nature, I think it is important to separate my personal opinions from that of modern thoughts about it, as they may not always align, so you will have to be specific in those situations. idiotsavant posted:Looks like the NPS itself has a few words about that context that (surprise, surprise!) go straight back to gfsincere's original point. Sad that it takes other white people cosigning a black poster to lend their opinions credibility on this forum, because it happens entirely too much on here and in the real world. sit on my Facebook posted:This is good posting It was exactly the point I was making and even drew said point from the same source I did of WEB DuBois.

FBI is going to begin reviewing emails right away. Media saying they will move quickly and try to review as much as possible before election day, but its unclear if they will be able to go through them all.

Crain posted:There are non appointment positions in every department for exactly these kinds of situations. Specifically each department in the US Gov has a CIO (Chief Information Officer) and multiple, sometimes, CISOs (Chief Information Security Officer). These people are the ones who have oversight on how computer systems and information security controls are set up, maintained, and operated. These people are also not under the employment purview of the appointment/cabinet level heads, they operate under the Office of Personnel Management as they are members of the civil service. This is why the email poo poo is so goddamn stupid, because it's not the 68 year old grandmas fault, it's literally and only the fault of the CIO and or CISO whose job it is to make sure the grandma can't do anything stupid on the network and that it's secure in the first place.

We don't live up to them on so many sorry occasions and a lot of stuff is still very broken, but playing the long game means inspiring people to be better. Inspiring the whole country to be better.

Mel Mudkiper posted:FBI Director Comey: "I am writing to inform you that in the duration of our investigation we have found new evidence suggesting Clinton may have been offered illicit financial transactions from the Prince of Nigeria" Also Comey: "Also, upon further investigation, we have discovered that she was sent an email that asked for her to forward it to save a child's life, as the more forwards the email had, a dollar would be donated to the child's care. Clinton however, did not forward said email, but deleted it. We suspect she may have a bias against children, our country's future."

I'm still pissed about this whole thing. What Comey knew: "As part of a completely separate investigation we found a bunch of mails from a Clinton staff member. We have no clue what's in them and it might very well be nothing. My colleagues are telling me that we shouldn't notify people about it before we know more. Since this is against our long standing policy and might very well break the hedge act." What he basically said to the Republicans in congress: "Guys guys guys! We found more dirt on Clinton! We will probably reopen the investigation now! Tell everyone! I came to you as fast as I could, before anyone else could tell you. You see? I hate her just as much as you. Do you want some more soundbites? Or should I erase all Trump files? I was really hurt when you told me I was in Clinton's camp and I miss you. Can we be friends again? Please, please, pleeeeeeaaaaaaase??" Even if literally nothing happens to the polls or as part of the investigation. This is complete bullshit and Comey does not deserve his job. Either he is a partisan hack, or he is completely unqualified. It's likely both.

Yeah regardless of the effect this has the dude needs to be "asked to resign" and if he refuses removed. He's clearly abusing his position regardless of if he is covering up Russian/Trump ties. It's funny how the judge in the Trump U case was generous enough to postpone it but obviously Hillary is afforded no such courtesy for her non issue.
