Telsa Cola posted:Wait so how bad is it that they might have trash documents important to the investigation IANAL, but...... They don't ask for things they don't know exist. The Trump campaign, whatever form it might currently contain, did not receive a firmly written letter asking them to incriminate themselves. The Senate intelligence committee asked them for something they know is there, but can't formerly ask for, because they're working on a tip from probably the FBI. So wanting to get their investigation going, they ask for everything, because they know exactly what they're going to flip right to. Related ish, buddy of mine graduated from georgia tech with a masters in mathematics, stupid smart, interned with the NSA, got pinged by google is and is out in san fran now. His first job was selling software to the government that helped them sort through data dumps. When governments request documents from firms (whether or not they know what they're asking for) a common response would be for the firm to give them you know 20 years worth of correspondence and say "have fun." Of course this would bog everything down. He worked on then sold software that would basically learn what is was looking for from what was given and hone in on it. I'm not explaining it well I apologize. Anyway, he told me this was how government investigators could track things down faster. They always know what they're asking for. And if they don't find it, it's obstruction. In this case, it's likely the FBI already has it.

Last night, I had a dream: That Trump got elbowed. Right in his stupid, loving doughy face. When he fell down and looked up to see his assailant, he was shocked... Unfortunately, because the alarm didn't work and I woke up super late (a little over an hour before I got to work, since I live at 25 minutes by car), the cold shower erased most of that dream.

This is our stupid loving country in a nutshell. People voting themselves out of existence in order to spite someone or something. It's amazing. On a side note poo poo like this also makes me depressed. I honestly used to love this country. Hell I'm watching Band of Brothers right now (HBO memorial day marathon) and it made me think that, despite the many MANY faults of this nation, at least it tried to prove its existence by standing for an ideal. We can't even do that anymore, and I blame Republicans and anyone selfish and stupid enough to still associate with them. Solaris 2.0 fucked around with this message at 15:45 on May 29, 2017 |

It's a town that had a peak population of 500 people in 1920 and has shrunk to a population of 34. It's unfortunate the actual topic that did it was being mean to horses but come on, it's absolutely crazy for a town of 34 people to have a town government. They are now governed by Thomas County, a county of 647 people. This thread is getting oddly angry about what is pretty clearly a totally reasonable change in structure of local control. They aren't some weirdo savages that gave up new york city to be grown over by grass and eaten by wolves or something, they are a town with almost no people in it giving local control to the county seat, which google maps indicates is less than 15 miles away. woop de doo.
