US Gov't Confirms Clinton Emails Contained Top-Secret Information (thenextweb.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Just days before candidates begin primary season with caucuses in Iowa and New Hampshire, the Obama administration confirmed for the first time that Hillary Clinton's emails did contain sensitive information. The Associated Press reports that seven of these email chains, are being withheld from the press because they contain information deemed to be "top secret" and that 37 pages included messages described by intelligence officials as "special access programs" — meaning, highly restricted and closely guarded government secrets.
Wait, CLINTON is UNELECTABLE because she may or may not have sent emails from a personal server that though not top secret secure has no evidence anything was leaked - and have proven through the non-redacted bits that her means were ignorant of technology but her intent was just to get shit done.
But TRUMP, who has openly contradicted almost every stance he has previously held, has insulted almost every class of citizen except "straight white Christian male" (debatable, since he has even made veiled references that anyone supporting him is a moron), and has even literally praised and kowtowed to the US's greatest rival, Vladimir Putin, is somehow ELECTABLE (let alone not a real traitor)?
The people here defending her are a clear example of what's wrong with, not only this country, but the world in general. They put politics in before character. She's a liberal Democrat and the many people that strongly identify with liberal Democrats, such as the indoctrinated college students who feel more enlightened and sophisticated than the rest of the commons they pretend to protect, will ignore the crimes she's committed, the lies she's said, and the overall elitist, privileged people and special interest groupa she really represents. The evidence doesn't matter, they'll do all they can to dismiss or discredit it, no matter how ridiculous the efforts are needed to do so. They really are no different than those people that are religious zealots, whether it be radicalized Muslims or Christians or Jews. Those that follow politics this blindly (left or right - liberal or conservative) are dangerous as they will allow any violent, crazy, lying sociopath to hold ultimate power and, not only ignore crimes and atrocities that are committed, but actually defend them, whether it's online bullying like you see here in the comment section with insults thinly veiled as "discussion" or "fact", or picketing and protesting, or even violent, illegal actions that extremists commit whether it's eco terrorists, Black Lives Matter, Oregan militias, both pro and anti-abortionists, or radicalized Islamists. The list of groups you could discuss are thousands in numbers. Groups. Organizations. All for the good of the people, so they claim. They are all returning people to tribal violence in some form or another. The followers turned community leaders, disseminating their propaganda . They're all claiming it's for the better of humanity in some way, shape, or form. Just as the people of Germany were manipulated by Hitler and his Nazi party to believe they were doing the right thing. They were told it was for a greater good. These people were the judge and jury, the guiding light. And, not supporting them meant you represented all that was wrong. You were shamed, bullied, and dismissed. If only they could get rid of you, the world would be a better place. And so the hypocrisy of this rant is made visible here at the end... and you thought you had me. Welcome to the club.
