Your character continues to shine through. I guess you'll just continue getting older, but better seems unlikely. That's kind of sad. Good luck with that.
Oh wait! A Congressman can make all of the speeches he wants, even on the floor of Congress, and it doesn't constitute government policy. You might notice that Congressmen are not policy makers in the Executive branch. POLICY MAKER. Like President, Secretary of State, Attorney General, etc. Policy makers decide, they order. Members of the Legislature make speeches, occasionally vote, and rarely get some meaningful law passed. Constitutionally they can't even target an individual by name in a law.
All that constitutes is hot air, nothing more. It isn't a threat to Assange. It is just opinions. That's it.
Trying to spin that into an actual something is rubbish.
You do seem to have to explain your "joke" to quite a few people. Here is something you apparently haven't considered: maybe the problem isn't his lack of a sense of humor but the marginal "joke" you think you told.
The key question that you are ignoring isn't the use of a non-government server by a government official, but rather, "What was it used for, and in what context?"
There are functions expected of members of an administration that aren't legal to perform on government servers, such as partisan political activity. That is a perfectly legitimate reason to use a non-government server.
Hillary co-mingled personal matters with political matters with official duties of a Ministerial nature, and had state secrets mixed in with her mail. That is wildly inappropriate. It is almost unbelievable that any person of Hillary's education and general exposure to government would do that. Almost.
Odd that you don't seem aware or interested in any of that.
I'm also pretty sure that most "fox fans" don't think Hillary is "literally" Hitler. Most of them probably have a very good idea who Hitler is, and aren't likely to toy with slinging that name around.
That is only related to the war against the international terrorist jihadist group al Qaida being waged by the US.
Are you suggesting that Assange is affiliated with al Qaeda? Do you have any proof of that? Or do you have proof that it is being used for handling ordinary criminal justice matters, which is what Assange would fall into... if the US even had a warrant out for him (which it doesn't).
I find it truly bizarre that so many people get so whipped up about the possibility that the government might have a copy of their phone bill in a data warehouse somewhere (even if it isn't used) but then spam the internet with all sorts of personal information.
Future oppression in much of the world is likely to be built on top of tools and products that today are being provided for our "convenience."
They are facilities maintenance people, remember? There won't be many of them, they aren't going to have the keys to the kingdom, there is going to be more than one entrance, and they are not likely going to have access to any armory. And who do you think is going to let their families through if they aren't admitting other people? Do you think they are all going to be in on it? Do you think anyone that was inside before it starts is going to support them? Do you think they know how all of the security and access controls work, or have the access to use them?
That isn't likely to work, and would be very dangerous for them to try if any of them were foolish enough to do so. I doubt the incoming people would regard it kindly, and I doubt they would all be unarmed.
You're really reaching today. No, it wouldn't be a "quick haul." How could it be? This involves a significant construction project. That isn't something that ever goes quickly. Or do you just envision a bunch of wealthy successful people blindly cutting large checks without any due diligence whatsoever?
The fact that you can string together a series of words in English doesn't necessarily make it a valid idea.
Actually your plan isn't practical and obvious, it is the reverse of that.
The only realistic way to get people of the desirable skills mix in an emergency at on out of the way location is to recruit them before hand, not after the emergency strikes and you're relying on people drifting through. Furthermore, you're ignoring the reactions of the other people there. It is likely that people are recruited by word of mouth. How do you think they will react if friends or family are treacherously excluded? Peaceful acquiescence? I doubt it.
You're also ignoring the question of how do the "special" people that you think should be admitted would make it though the people that paid for a place there and are treacherously kept out?
As I said, your plan isn't practical and obvious, it is the reverse of that, and treacherous to boot. How do you think that treachery will go down with the people inside? Why would anyone inside ever trust them again?
You certainly seem to despise that "useless family".
It's harder than that. You need to have at least a meter of earth between you and the fallout to have adequate shielding. You can get by with somewhat less steel or concrete, but probably more than you expect. The Potassium iodide only protects you from a specific threat, not general radiation sickness.
Adequate filtration for bunkers is a minor problem that was solved more than 50 years ago. It isn't that hard, and the technology just keeps getting better.

Wow, the terror of 4th graders everywhere strikes again.
I suppose there is one bright spot there: people may overlook deficiencies in your rhetoric when they discover your character.
You apparently can't count.
Your crank comments aren't all that interesting. Move along.
Hillary's servers were not totally secure, but were they more or less secure than the State Dept's servers?
Not relevant.
Is there anyone who cares about this issue that didn't already hate Hillary for other reasons?
You mean like anyone interested in good government?
Boondoggles and misconduct are party agnostic and should be opposed regardless of source.

Well done, you've demolished a straw man. Your progressive credentials are enhanced and Hillary benefits from your successful defense of a non-issue.
BTW - You left out her claims regarding classified information that have gone up in flames.

oh wait, that involves terrorism. I'm pretty sure all of those examples do. Assange isn't accused of terrorism.
Do you have some examples that don't involve terrorism? Or are you claiming that Assange is involved with terrorism?
Or are you trying to muddy the water with irrelevant information?
Silly me, we know what is going on. Assange isn't at risk. Your reference if BS in regard to Assange.
You're the one having a fit, not me.

Nice job trying to stifle people and muzzle the conversation. Thanks, but we'll post what we want, when we want, m'key?
You think I should be "jealous" of your 2^3 +5 comments? Now that IS funny! LOL
1 - Many happy returns. You're with him.
2 - Funny posts tend to get marked funny, not insightful.
If you don't give a fuck then don't bother posting and wasting our time.

Hoxha isn't truly dead as long as people keep his values alive.
Probably not.

The claim was that the businessman here would bilk his customers of large sums of money and then retire.
Being convicted of fraud and going to jail isn't normally thought of as retirement.
Obvious fraud involving large sums of money tends to increase the likelihood of getting caught.
