  1. OP would apparently prefer Ted Cruz to Biden. Fuck that shit.
  2. It would actually be extremely funny if he just flew away to a non-extradition country.
  3. Nobody appreciates classic art anymore. My avatar is a commissioned Thujone original and belongs in the Louvre, along with the rest of his work.
  4. An American Nightmare: Young, pregnant & living in Texas: I wish nothing but unimaginable agony on every single person who supports this.
  5. Ah, so it's confusion about how classification works. Information gets classified, not documents. A document with a classification marking on it has it because it contains information that has been classified. They weren't attaching documents previously stamped "TOP SECRET" to their emails. They were emailing like normal people do, and because of the nature of their jobs some of their discussions ended up including some information that had either already been classified or (for most of it) was retroactively classified after they discussed it via email. The way this worked is likely the way any email chain worked, it began about something that wasn't classified (so the subject in the email header didn't contain a classification marking), maybe a call she was scheduled to have with another country's ambassador, and then someone mentioned something that was or became classified. E.g.: Aide: "Mrs. Clinton, don't forget you've got a 10:30 call with the Japanese ambassador." Hillary: "Thanks. What are the main things we discussed wanting to focus on in that call again?" Aide: "A, B, C, D, E." And C was or included some information that was classified. There are nearly infinite ways this could've happened without anything that might be reasonably characterized as recklessness or ill intent. That is actually the real danger of maintaining a private server for email: even if everyone involved is brilliant and extremely competent, it's still pretty much impossible to guard against inadvertent disclosure of classified information in a setting that isn't secured. And I'm done with this tangent. I don't even really like Hillary at all, but I think it's important for people to understand how much of the information even non-Trumpers buy into about her (and often, by extension, Democrats more generally) is just wrong. ETA: I just figured it out! Sawbonz still has to use fax for work, he's probably never even sent an email. Understandable mistake.
  6. Here's one of dozens of fact checks of Hillary's claim that none of her emails were marked as classified: Few things have been investigated more thoroughly by government and law enforcement agencies and the media than Hillary's email use. All reports are pretty consistent that Hillary and other State Department officials emailed about some information they probably should've known was classified, a lot more information that wasn't classified at the time but was later classified, and sometimes emailed kinda vaguely talking around things they knew to be classified (but without stating the actual classified information), to get work done remotely. It's not remotely what sawbonz thinks, as if they were deliberately attaching classified documents to their emails but stripping out all of the "CLASSIFIED" markings beforehand. That would have been extremely criminal! If they'd been doing shit like that, they absolutely should have and would have been prosecuted for it. I don't know where he got that, whether from some bullshit Brietbart article or if he just made it up in his head because he misunderstood how classification works, but it's not anywhere close to what actually happened.
  7. I don’t really want to continue the tangent, but need to be clear that sawbonz is straight making shit up to complain about Hillary.
  8. Where the hell are you getting that Hillary did this?
  9. From that article, some absolute hack journalism: Musk is a known liar who constantly makes fraudulent claims when promoting Tesla. And they present him as too honest for the necessarily manipulative tactics of advertising. It's fucking absurd.
  10. Twice has it bad for Cannon.
  11. "It's very telling that y'all are all trying to distract from the Ukraine's failed offensive that NATO made them launch."
  12. Incredulity's drunken ramblings tonight will be the preview.
  13. If Trump hadn't stolen a fuckton of top secret documents and refused to return them, I doubt we would've ever seen any indictment of Trump regarding any 1/6 conduct from Garland. That would've been a much harder case to bring than this.
  14. I still think he tried to sell classified info to someone (probably the Saudis) because I'm pretty sure he's incapable of going five minutes without trying to sell something to someone, but it would be the absolute funniest thing possible if he stole top secret intelligence just so he could flash it around at Mar a Lago to feel like a big shot. My man, they're already members of your club and there to lick your boots and tell you how delicious and fancy the shoeleather is, you don't need to do even more to impress them.
  15. It's a good thing she's never wrongfully asserted jurisdiction over a proceeding to try to help shield Donald Trump from the law.
  16. Mr. TwiceHorn it is I, the wallet inspector, here to inspect your wallet. Please hand it over.
  17. Wasn't there a Paxton impeachment thread here in DT that was permitted for awhile and suddenly appears to have been deleted?
  18. @TwiceHorn is going to be just the worst for the next several months.
  19. And Nate Paul has been arrested! Did Biden just become a godfather today?
