What part of the word non-binding is hard to understand?

Touche!

Almost... just for giggles, it looks like it isn't even his:

So why doesn't the server in question actually belong to Trump?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cw...

Well, you are right about this correlating with election nonsense, but... yeah.

Looks to be pretty bogus.... it would appear that the damn thing doesn't even belong to Trump.

1. They did not say that they are reopening the investigation. The memo itself makes that clear.

2. The emails are related to the server, but not from Clinton

Pete Williams is reporting that the emails have A) nothing to do with Wikileaks, and B) were not withheld by Clinton.

Beyond that, we know very, very little right now. Actually it's rather bizarre that Comey would throw a bombshell like this 11 days before the election. But let's see where it goes.

They keep saying Comey is a straight shooter, but I'm not seeing it. He went out of his way to tar and feather her every bit he could, even when he admitted they had nothing. His previous actions were well beyond what could be expected of any other investigation into any other person.

Seriously, examine every member of congresses unclassified email with this kind of microscope. I'd bet you'd find a crap load more than this. This bitching about a few things marked (c) and such is ridiculous. Confidential is the lowest form, and basically amounts to may cause damage. By far and wide she handled classified material correctly. That was the ultimate result of the investigation. That a couple of mistakes were made in years of work is not news. I don't know anyone that doesn't occasionally make a mistake at work. This crap where they keep bitching about the personal server is also freaking ridiculous. Her personal server was at the same classification level as the main department server. A data spill on one is the same problem as the data spill on the other. The only difference for the personal server is, so far at least, no one has apparently hacked it, which you can't say for the department server. It was hacked.

Now we have a super vague thing which says absolutely nothing. Comey deliberately released it in such a way he knew it would be leaked, and yet it has no information. What precisely was his point? There is not enough time to possibly conduct any investigation. The only possible reason I can think of to release it is to influence the election with vague rumors and that is _not_ his job. If he had something solid, then fine, but none of these vague rumors.

He should either release everything he knows right now or resign, or preferably both. This is completely insane. You can't even defend yourself against this. It is just a vague statement of possibly maybe something sometime may come out. Where is the right to confront your accuser? Where is the right to be innocent until proven guilty? This is just the beginning of another witch hunt, and I am for one tired of it.

What the hell is our country coming to? Trump whines and bitches like a little 3 year old of it being so damn unfair. He is right. It has been unfair, but not for him. Every advantage has been handed to him. Billions in free press coverage. For the longest time no one hardly called them out on his continuous lies, and even now it is minimal. You can't keep up with his lies. You have Putin spending crap loads of resources hacking every possible resource he could to destroy her. You have republicans using their investigative powers doing the exact same thing. You have Comey releasing massive details of their investigation, as if to state, even though they could prove nothing, they were bound and determined to hurt her as much as possible, completely against all department standards. Now, eleven days before an election we have Comey throwing them another random bone with no real information in it? It smells like partisan crap to me. It is certainly highly inappropriate.

1. They did not say that they are reopening the investigation. The memo itself makes that clear.

I'm not sure how you can make such a claim, since the memo you linked states "...and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

Furthermore, nothing else in that memo makes the point you pretend it does.

1. They did not say that they are reopening the investigation. The memo itself makes that clear.

2. The emails are related to the server, but not from Clinton

Pete Williams is reporting that the emails have A) nothing to do with Wikileaks, and B) were not withheld by Clinton.

Beyond that, we know very, very little right now. Actually it's rather bizarre that Comey would throw a bombshell like this 11 days before the election. But let's see where it goes.

Finally, I suspect that the one-sided nature of the leaks is upsetting many people who would otherwise support Wikileaks.

Look, I took a dislike to Wikileaks when members the BNP members list for the UK was 'leaked'. I despise the BNP but undermining peoples political agency in a democracy, to the extent that people were hounded from employment is unjustifiable.

These email leaks are justifiable and justice needs to catch up with the scumbags!

Only one candidate will bind both sides of congress working together to stop them, and that could be a good thing for us all.

It's not their job: Congress can't stop initial war nor The Button, only stop its funding. But who pays for Armageddon is moot.

I thought that's why the IRS is auditing his return, to make sure it's correct? I'm pretty sure than anything short of an army of IRS agents and auditors could work through the stack of paper that is his tax return... On the other hand, we KNOW that Hillary! has outright lied several times about retaining all her relevant e-mails. And that (as well as deleting them in the first place) IS an actual crime.

Ahh, it's like being in 1998 again and getting your drive wiped by CIH. Those were the days.

Just before the Permian-Triassic extinction event (PT), about 250m years ago, large mammal-like reptiles (proto-mammals) were more common than lizard-like reptiles. The proto-mammals were the top of the food-chain.

But after PT, the lizard-like reptiles recovered faster, becoming the dinosaurs, and the proto-mammals were mostly small skittish creatures.

The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event* (CP), the one that ended the dino's about 65m years ago, was pretty much the reverse: the lizard-ish reptiles recovered slower than the mammals.

There was a short period early in the CP recovery where large dinosaur-like birds, think ostrich on steroids, seemed to have had the upper hand. (Birds are closely related to the dino's.) But, mammals eventually prevailed, as least as the largest beasts.

If Trump gets us nuked, large dino/birds/lizards may make a comeback. If the pattern continues, it's their turn again.

Gun murders per 100000 citizens. We can do the whole "correlation is not causation" thing here, but if it isn't gun control that makes the difference then it is something else. Perhaps it could just be the attitude towards guns? A lot of people thinks that guns is a way to solve problems.

To me gun control seems to be the reasonable explanation. The other alternatives I've heard seems far fetched.

Look at who kills who, and where.

The answer lies there.

You aren't even looking at an accurate correlation. Anything you say after that need not be bothered with.

Wide-spread legal gun ownership really does make people generally safer.

It that was true then the united states would be the safest of these countries.

I agree the H1B program is a farce per "skill shortage," and glad Mr. Trump has highlighted the issue in his campaign, but I'm not a one-issue voter.

I believe Mr. Trump will likely be a train-wreck in foreign policy, offending leaders and countries far and wide, perhaps triggering wars.

USA knows him from TV over the years and we take him with a grain of salt. The rest of the world won't.

I'd rather be unemployed than an apocalyptic zombie.

This was my grade 10 computer science class in a nutshell although I don't blame the teacher; the curriculum was the issue.

Instead of learning how the computer actually works and how the different parts fit together, everyone one slapped with a bunch of disjointed terms to memorize without any context surrounding them. If only schools would drop this "one size fits all" approach and understand that there is more to learning than just "memorizing things". I did far better in the practical classes such as mathematics and the later computer science classes as they were purely programming.

Lastly, I am reminded of this:

Sure, there are women who would agree with sharing the restroom.

Jesus, boy, what do you imagine is going on in bathrooms? What the fuck is "sharing" a bathroom, anyway? It's one person to a toilet, last time I looked. Nobody's sharing anything but oxygen and the love of God.

Maybe North Carolina should pay a little more attention to their heroin epidemic and less to what's in people's pants.

And here is a picture of a transgender male. This guy started life as a woman. You want him in a bathroom with your wife? I bet your wife wouldn't mind.

For a while we've seen attempts like this in the open source world. Want to muscle your way into an OSS project, despite lacking the talent or skill (or willingness) to contribute anything other than drama, identity politics, and an insatiable urge control others (or remove them if they don't fall in line)? Force a Code of Conduct (which is often explicitly racist and/or sexist, dismissive of merit, and vague enough to be selectively enforced) down its throat! It even works on the largest projects, and lets you dictate developers' behavior on unrelated corners of the web!

Makes sense that they would like even more to impose a Code of Conduct on life, starting when you're a kid.

I run the IT for an organisation that I am not going to link to here because we're already having trouble dealing with the load today. We're based out of the International Press Center, a small tower behind the Berlaymont that also houses the local branches of Bloomberg and the BBC. Half of us (including myself) go through Maelbeek every day since it's the stop before Schuman, the other half come from the other direction. I was in the subway before the one that blew up; I heard the thump and saw the smoke from Maelbeek as I was getting out of the subway at Schuman; I assumed it was an electrical fire or something and went on to work. We are still on "lock down" in our tower, some of the journalists have been here since 6:00AM and nobody in the building has anything to eat.

You won't see many pictures of this in main stream media, but this is what happened to the subway that was bombed. The cars in the Brussels subway are arranged with blocks of four seats on either side of a central aisle. There is a door and standing space between each set of 8 seats. The blocks are very solid and designed to protect the passengers in them in the event of a subway crash. During rush hour the seats are full and you usually have about twice as many people standing in the open space. In the picture you can see that the bomb went off in the middle of one of these blocks of eight. I can just about guarantee that those seats were full, so we know where half the subway dead came from right there. It looks like the block of seats just behind that block held together (to the right of the image), even though the shifted some, so I would suppose that those people in that set of 8 survived. It looks like the areas between the explosion row and the surviving row and the explosion row and the bulkhead to the left of the image were not very survivable. I guess it would depend on how much shrapnel was in the bomb and how many bodies were shielding you.

I go into this detail because I want to make a point: the terrorist will always get through. We cannot get around this situation with more security. There will always be places where people are forced to congregate and you can't secure them. We can't even get people to buy tickets reliably in the subway; forget about frisking everybody with bulky clothes who rides the subway. True, you can't bomb an airliner anymore, but you sure as hell can bomb the new bottleneck at airport security. Yet the PM of France is already calling for greater intelligence cooperation, which we all know is a euphemism for greater surveillance.

This could have been me: I missed this train by less than five minutes. As one of the people who was targeted today, I would like to ask all Europeans on this forum to make their voices heard in their own countries: WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED! We know that the world is a risky place. Don't ruin our liberty and solidarity trying to legislate that risk away.

You just gotta love this guy.

No, it's "then". Now excuse me while I go vote for Trump. Hoap an Chenge!

No, we're looking for hoap and we're going to get it. Better get on board.

Why would you have a remote control feature on a car enabled at ALL?

For people who live in properly hot or cold areas, being able to heat or cool your car down to a sensible temprature before getting in is a godsend. Especially if you live in a humid area and need to demist your windows when it gets as low as 16 degrees C.
