the problem with rollovers is that vehicles are designed around certain circumstances, namely being on all four wheels, so its really difficult to simulate let alone test all the interesting impacts you can get when you are no longer on 4 wheels.

The D.A.R.E. officer for our school had a husband who refused to wear a seatbelt so she had us all write him a letter about why he should do so. She gave him the pile of letters and the first kid had said “please stop doing drugs or whatever it is you are doing” and he was baffled about what was going on

Well I mean, his wife is a cop, odds are at least one of them is on some sort of drug.

Mayor Cousinfucker was working for the president when he beat up that underaged prostitute and therefore executive privilege must be invoked.

Congressional hearings are not the same thing as criminal trials, a judge would not be amused by that type of poo poo.

I don't have time to look it up right now but isn't investigation of criminal activity an exception to executive privilege a la US v Nixon?

Add it to the hypocrisy pile.

You know if the Democrats tried that during any one of the dozen BEN GHAZI hearings, it'd be splashed across every newspaper headline and you'd have Speaker Boner crafting new rules to restrict the minority party in Congress.

That there would be big honking signs saying "DONT BRING ELECTRONICS PAST THIS POINT CLASSIFIED poo poo AHEAD" on top of possibly people in front of said door going "yo man there's classified poo poo here, probably no phones yea?"


My office has a "secrets" room where classified stuff happens and there's a magnetic sign on the door that they flip over that says something to the effect of "Classified crap is happening in here, knock before attempting to enter"

Republican hypocrisy is a pre-escelator concept. When you're pushing for an authoritarian single-party state you frame it as a struggle for survival against pure evil and then say nothing you do matters because the other guys are worse.

Benghazi was bad because they did it, violating security protocols is good because we did it.

You actually want your elected representatives, who function as an oversight to an extremely powerful apparatus of government(the Executive), to have the ability and protection to expose what the government would rather not be seen.

That most of our representatives are beholden to neither the Republic or their constituents is another matter entirely.

No she shouldn't have, and no one in her shoes would have either. They would have faced administrative sanctions not criminal ones at worst.

Clinton's email server was dumb, but was also keeping in tradition with previous Secretaries of State. There was also no deliberate spillage, and anything that was classified on her server was not until after the fact.
