    Bad code is ugly code. There's zero reason not to swap the expression into something safer except "that's the way I think it in my head". Turn your head around.

    Congress already has a better plan. Anti-terrorism not based on religious bigotry. Trumps plan is unworkable and would be ineffective. It will do nothing to stop terrorism, but will satisfy the racists who will be happy to see Italian Mathematicians harassed, but can't imagine the policy being applied to Muhammed Ali or any Indonesian.

    She's worried about plausible deniability in case of an intercept. That doesn't mean that the document, presumably the days talking points to US diplomats, was classified in a legal sense.

    "She TOLD them to remove classification markings"

    Not according to the story you linked to. These things often aren't classified anyway, and there's no evidence it was classified.

    Even if it were, the secure channel was broken. This prompted the order. Are we to understand that a Secretary of State can't make a decision on timeliness vs. security, for transmission of a document she created?

    You people act like she was some file clerk who left the Top Secret safe open.

    Meanwhile, Trump calls for the banning of Muslims. His surrogates on AM Radio call for rounding them up and deporting them or killing them.

    You guys are totally nuts.

    Too young to remember G.W. Bush? I think Clinton will give him a run for his money. Trump should easily surpass him.

    Since Trump's MO is to promise the moon then walk away leaving someone else holding the bag, how good his proposals are almost doesn't matter.

    Unless you're Muslim or Hispanic or ....

    Any way, you'd have to be a pretty poor judge of character to think that Trump is going to give you anything just because he promised it. That's not how the man operates.

    There's nothing here that trump didn't already know that they knew. What this does is get people talking about Trump raping Ivana without any Democrat having to bring it up.

    The comparison in honesty between Clinton and Trump is pretty stark. Trump has never felt the need to verify anything he says, but the contents of this oppo book are pretty thoroughly researched, and not just by the DNC.

    The US corporate tax is about suppressing small business, not taxing large corporations.

    Imagine the scene: London, 1923

    Best of all, they never ask for anything, so I shall give them some freedom. Not every freedom, of course, heavens no.
