  1. Re:And the election was handed to Hillary Clinton on John Kasich To Drop Out, Leaving Trump as GOP Nominee (vox.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    although it appears none of the material was classified at the time it was sent but has been deemed classified later

    False, so much so that only people still making that claim are either members of the Clinton campaign or it's most braindead supporters.

    Given she turned over the emails and much of the traffic would have been available anyway since it originated from a government server the whole issue is nothing but a cheap political attack.

    Sounds almost like something we've (falsely) heard from Hillary herself...

    Any chance you are one of the paid Clinton shills who have been sent out to 'correct' the record?

    * Tries to give classified data to someone they shouldn't

    Her lawyer had a copy of the emails on a thumb drive, and I don't seem to recall hearing news that he was cleared to have access to the emails.

    And this is all beside the point that most of the "classified data" was classified after it went through her server, or was classified by the State Dept so the Secretary of State can tell anyone she wants.

    It continues to amaze me that people keep repeating this easily proven false talking point. The date/time something is stamped 'classified' is irrelevant! Plenty of content was 'born' classified or so obvious that it was regardless of marking. Should we also ignore her asking a subordinate to strip the classified header from a document for sending?

    There were things so sensitive in her email that the DoJ Inspector General investigating initially lacked a high enough clearance to read some of the content.

    Indiana has only gone to the Democrats once in the last 50 years (2008)... the results just confirm that it will likely to Republican this time around... Florida however is a more important state to watch.

    For your particular set of conditions, yes, your credit union may be best, and I might claim that (for my particular hair & scalp (a similar condition you only offered after being challenged repeatedly)), my shampoo is best... yet neither however gives either of us credibility to declare that ours is best for all cases... something you apparently keep trying to do.

  7. That would seem to depend on how much you've got liquid in the bank. If you've got under 2k in the bank, sure, your CU may just be better, ditto under 5k, but anymore and a GS account starts to look more attractive.

    Exactly, more so... if simply mentioning of 'god' from some part of government is unconstitutional, surely then our very own Declaration of Independence and it's reference to "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and being people being "endowed by their Creator" would be unconstitutional as well... yet despite much litigation on this, that is not the case, just see Aronow v. United States for one such notable example.

    I would rather get rid of "In God We Trust" first.

    Because... you don't like the motto of the United States?

    Just saying because "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States " Making it clearly illegal.

    If those words did constitute a religious test (which they don't)... it would appear that it's pretty poorly enforced, unless no atheists or polytheists have ever been blocked from public office because of their faith and not because they lost an election.

    It also seems that even asking a candidate about their religion also falls under this clause.

    So you wish to deny people their first amendment if the content of the question offends you? You've clearly been enjoying the SWJ Kool-Aid.

    Of course the small government people will have none of that; they want their theocracy.

    What about those of us who support small government, but also aren't religious?

    As long as we're updating our currency, can we finally get rid of that wretched "One Nation Under God" bullshit?

    The reflexive anti-religion hate is strong with this one, so much so they apparently don't know the difference between the 'Pledge of Allegiance' (which contains "One Nation Under God") and the "The Star-Spangled Banner" (where 'In God We Trust" is believed to have originated from). Lets just ignore "In God We Trust" going back over 150 on different US coins.

    Also time to pan elected officials from ending their oath of office with "so help me god?

    So nope, probably not going to happen.
