    It certainly is an issue, maybe not the only issue.

    What protections?

  4. Even the political purpose backfired, because it showed that Barack Obama lied once again. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/1...

    Schools may support it, but they are required to have it on hand by a law signed in 2011 by Obama. Talk about a corporate handout. I wonder if Joe Manchin's daughter lobbied for that law.

    This is it. The only evidence of a hacking ever presented was some software that any enterprising 12 year old could have downloaded and a Ukrainian ip address. All collected by a firm paid by the DNC, while the FBI was not allowed to examine the servers. It's all bullshit.

    You think the reason Hillary lost was because Russia hacked a server?

    Tell you what. When someone from the IRS and the VA ends up in prison, Trump should cooperate. Until then, go to hell.

  13. Are you telling me we are now required to share interactions with Intelligence? Better yet, are you telling me that the opposition party now is required to allow their communications to be monitored by then Intelligence? Are you insane?

  18. Seriously. I didn't know telecommunications networks use pneumatic pumps used to pump water. What function could they possibly have in a telecommunication network? Oh... Pneumatic pumps pump water as a hedge against global disruption resulting from a cyber attack on critical infrastructure. Pumps. What can't they do?
