I wanted to determine what the hell I am, since my dad was adopted. Tried doing a family tree through Ancestry but hit a dead ends everywhere. My bio-grandpa had an Irish surname and bio-grandma’s got a Norwegian one, so I figured there’d be a lot of fish and chips in the mix. Here are the surprising results:

1% European Jewish. My Jewish FB friends thought this was a hoot. “Welcome to the tribe, Jew boy!” one did say.
1% Central Asian. Possible Taliban.
1% Italian\Greek.
4% Irish. St. Paddy’s Day is still real for me and I can still drink like a fish 4% of the time.
12% Scandinavian. A shocker.
17% Western European. A French Nazi. Curses.

And the shocker…

64% UK. Most likely a lot of Scot. And my middle name is Scott. My mother’s maiden name is Scottish.

And I loathe Scotch.

A bloody Redcoat. Who’d have thought? My MIL, an Englishwoman, thought it was a hoot.

I hate scotch too. My family tree is easy since my great aunt did all the researching which she said was only very reliable back to 1840. Somewhat reliable back to 1760. After that the record keeping wasn’t detailed enough to try though at some point the Huns could be represented. Otherwise it is Slovakian, Croatian and German in that order. My family loves a good fight.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (the shits absconded with my daughter’s nickname, too) are the most dangerous organization we’ve faced since KAOS. They stand in the way of my Sharks for Lord Stanley’s Cup. The filthy vermin.

Nuke the bastards.

Oh man, you dropped the KAOS card. Congratulations on your Sharks beating the Blues.

I havent read a single solitary word about it.

I couldn’t care less whether she “committed a crime” or not
by sending or receiving “classified” emails.

I mean to me, the CIA in and of itself is a Crime. The whole entire organization has a long history of assassination, torture, butchery spying on pacifists, derailing democracies, dealing in narcotics…etc, etc, etc. And the FBI aint no better. Or the NSA. All those secret shadow organizations are anti-democratic and rife with corruption.

I dont care what Clinton did with some emails. What Clinton has done that is perfectly LEGAL is what appalls me. Her support of the mega-corpse, neoliberalsim, the big-banks, goldman-sachs…etc. All THAT stuff is enough for me to loathe her. And Obama. And Bush. And all the mainstream Dems and Reps.

I could go on. But i have to plant some milkweed seeds.

wv curmudgeon

I haven’t read much about it until I found this. I knew she had used a private server, and that she deleted 30,000 personal emails, but that’s it.

And I don’t really care about the email issue either because whatever she did is nothing compared to what she plans to do if she is president both domestically and internationally. You know…invading Libya and Iraq is a smidge worse than mishandling classified documents (though she could potentially be blackmailed by nasty people).

The reason I care about the above is that it shows a lot of high up establishment intelligence people are telling Obama that this is really, really bad news, and postponing it, or trying to sweep it under the carpet, could be devastating to her, the party, and the country. To me that means that this scandal is a real scandal – as opposed to so many Clinton scandals over the decades – and I would like to see her destroyed politically. Prison time would be a bonus. And the sooner, the better. That’s why I had interest in it.

I’m a hardware engineer. Part of my job is email admin- I build these machines and configure the client and setup the end users. I can tell you what she did was egregious and illegal. Also, pretty ignorant with a lot of arrogance mixed in. The only reason I can see in maintaining private server is to hide shit. To assume she could do this with no repercussions was arrogant. To assume the box couldn’t be hacked is ignorant. And most likely our adversaries were reading her mail. Also, email is forever. There’s a copy around somewhere, even if she did a DOD format on the drives (it would be at least two).

The part of this I just don’t understand is “why”? Most government – State, Mil, etc- systems are more secure- by light years- than anything a private firm could put together on the fly, which this appears to be. And she used Clinton in the domain name. She could have just used her State account for both personal and private stuff and nobody would be the wiser, and it would have been way more secure. Probably would have violated the user policy in place, but most folks up that high don’t bother with such things.

I’ve had clients who wanted me to do really stupid shit before, but this takes the cake. Arrogance and ignorance. I could cost lives, too.

That “to hide shit” is what makes the most sense. Government servers are easy to comply with the Federal Records Act.

The real crime is Clinton Foundation Donors including despots dictators and psychopaths getting sweet arms contracts including biological weapons from Hillary’s State Dept. after making huge donations to the Foundation which all signs point to being a money laundering scheme.

Yes selling influence is in the Clinton Syndicate’s DNA. Pay Bill and Hill millions to give a few speeches. Pay the Clinton Foundation to get the Sec. of State Hill to shill your case to Obama. Makes that 2008 primary pow wow deal for Hill to drop out of the race come into complete focus. Yet so many still can’t see. What Bill did for China as president, Hill did for all the world that came bearing cash to pay to play.

What i dont get about you, is this — you can see perfectly well how corrupt Clinton is, but what about Bush, Obama, Nixon, Reagan — they’ve all been corrupt as hell, in the sense of selling influence in return for campaign-support. All of em.

Do you agree? No?

It aint just Hillary. Its all of em. Well, except for a very
few.

Oh hell no. No sir. The difference is in the degree, in what is for sale. Bill and Hill are so very different. We’re not talking about mere ambassadorships, sweet hart deals and the like. All presidents do that. From their Arkansas days the Clintons have been very different. From never once losing in cattle futures in order to pad their salary to using state troopers to threaten and harass Bill’s rape victims. In the White House starting with the “you get two for one” nonsense to the selling the Chinese military technology and unbelievable access to national laboratories. Then after leaving office the reverse carpet bagging to New York so Hill can be a US senator! Can’t leave Bill around with nothing to do so voila! Clinton Foundation! Talk up Hill as a future president and rake in donations to the Clinton Foundation where the pay to play is sure to get you President Hill’s ear and paying Bill millions in speaking fees will do the same. Make the deal with Obama to claim Hill’s relevancy for the next presidency by making Hill Sec. of State, the time honored stepping stone to the presidency. This of course maintains the function of the Clinton Foundation to sell influx with a future president Hill and to maintain millions in speaking fees for Bill. Prove yourself to be a most ineffectual Sec. of State in all matters except actively working to invade nation after nation. Resign as Sec. of State to campaign for years for the presidency actively selling influence while co-opting the entire democrat party apparatus to the extent that no one other than O’Malley would challenge her in the primary and an oldster socialist was allowed to share the otherwise empty stage. Hill will win the primary despite her monotonous droning on and on and her not hiding her being uncomfortable with the great unwashed simply because she owns the super delegates. Otherwise an old socialist beats her for the nomination. We wait to see if justice ever catches up with Clinton Inc.

I’ve only watched it on HBO. It really is a lame show. Terribly lame show. Doubt having the Rams will change that formula.

Not that rare in the midwest and south.

Always hope for the best for a Vol.

Legendary Case Keenum.

I don’t like it. He’s very young and a power runner. Power runner needs that extra weight. He should strive to stay as close to 230 lbs as he can. He could be at 200 lbs by the end of the season. Not good.

Why, was it cold last week?

No, the last 17 years, yes.

Do you guys realize that Obama knew she was using the private email server? No way he couldn’t know.

I already stated as fact she committed multiple crimes regarding the emails. Anyone and I mean ANYONE who works with classified information in the federal government knows that. Anyone that works in the federal government also knows all government business records are subject to the Federal Records Act. She knew exactly what she was doing. The real question is WHY she did it and what was in the 30,000 emails she had wiped from the server? The crimes are so blatant and indisputable you have to wonder if she was promised a get out of jail free card.

Absolutely none of this is high tech. I see that being dragged out as an excuse frequently. Government business has to be conducted over government servers. That means the email address will have .gov at the end. Everyone receiving her emails from her private server in the bathroom could plainly see from her email address that she was not in compliance with the law.
