    And (by coincidence Im sure) this just came out...

    Emails From Hillary Clinton’s IT Director at State Department Appear to Be Missing
    The State Department said today it can’t find Bryan Pagliano’s emails from the time he served as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s senior information technology staffer during her tenure there.

    Pagliano would have been required to turn over any official communications from his work account before he left the government. State Department officials say he had an official email account, but that they can't find any of those records he would have turned over and continue to search for them.

    “The Department has searched for Mr. Pagliano’s email pst file and has not located one that covers the time period of Secretary Clinton’s tenure,” State Department spokesman Elizabeth Trudeau said today, referencing a file format that holds email.

    The guy worked there 4 years, and set up Hillary's secret, illegal server-and yet they have almost none of his emails.

    Odd how that works out. :roflol:

    Are you saying that it didn't happen, or that you just don't care?

    Edit: Here, I'll save you some time. Perhaps this will help you get over your denial:

    Likewise [MENTION=69850]Stevew[/MENTION] we cannot allow that snake oil salesman Trump to win; he'll tell you anything at all for your vote. He changes his position on most of the issues more then most people change their underwear. For some of the so-called republicans to endorse Trump (Who is a RINO) show's their disloyalty to the party and they are the ones helping to destroy the party of Lincoln. I applaud those within the Republican party who are doing everything they can to keep Trump from getting the Presidency and if they decide to run a third party candidate, then I say best of luck to them.

    As for your viewpoint on Hillary, while I'm not the biggest Hillary fan in the world, I'll gladly take her and whatever flaws she may or may not have any day over that BS artist Trump.

    You believe the ends justify the means. You will not only defend but vote for someone whom you know to be a liar-if it advances your politics.

    At least you are being straight up about it.

    I have a theory.

    Once he is face to face with Hillary, he is going to drop a nuke and break the fourth wall completely. He will drop the speech and bust out something like the Eisenhower or Kennedy speech. He is going to freak the country out and put Hillary in the corrupt coffin. Once he starts going after it big time, he will then use the media's hatred of him to his advantage, just as he has been doing.

    He will be the true outsider and savior of our corrupt country. He's going to get Bernie's guys, he's gonna get a lot of black votes, and he is going to get tremendous support among whites. This is going to be a roller coaster.

    Trump is going to win in a landslide. Hillary is going to get blasted so hard on this.

    Trump will be the next president of the United States, for better or worse. He will either be great or catastrophic, and I'm not sure there is much in between.

    Sad to say, I disagree with your "theory".

    I have the Dem nominee winning in the electoral college in Nov.'16.

    I know you don't like Donald..But how do you feel about Hillary, if you're being honest? Do you see any great potential in her, or is she more of a stopgap measure?

    Heres the thing-Trump is the type who will drop that bombshell speech, and STILL use 10 other angles to put her to sleep.

    Game, set, match.

    I'm telling you man...When he called out the corruption during the debate and then turned on the audience...That was chilling. He is making the threats, the threat of total oligarchy, very real. He needs to go all out. If he knows anything really horrible, he needs to say it. Take her by complete surprise.

    It needs to be like V for Vendetta. People should be on the edge of their seats. And then..."folks...we're not gonna do that anymore, this stuff's gonna stop"

    I'd stop short of oligarchy, but he's unapologetic and aint buying the pearl clutching.

    Even when I disagree with him (like on Bush/911) I can damn well respect him.

    He's a master at work.

    Translation-you are skeerd of trump.

    He's a true master. That's why we need him in power. These other candidates are nothing compared to him. he makes them all look life crippled children. The funniest thing is that people think they have the smart candidate, when it is actually The Donald. They are playing like this is model UN for babies, and he is playing the real game.

    Hillary's entire political career has been one long tale of corruption and it's well documented. Since I'm sure you're aware of it, trolling the thread is the obvious ploy in which you're engaging. You're wasting your time with that.

    Yes, yes, that is all very nice but......oops, what about that minor detail of no charges or convictions? Trivial I know but some people actually like to have proof or evidence leading to a conviction. Unfortunately they just don't consider the wild rantings of powdered wig wearing guys stumbling around the fever swamp to be enough.

    Poll: Trump surging in battleground states

    MAY 10, 2016

    GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump promised that he could win the White House with or without the support of the mainstream Republican establishment. And it appears he may be correct. That’s according to the latest poll by Quinnipiac University, which shows that Trump’s path to victory in November is clearing. According to the poll results, Trump is in a virtual tie with presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania and Florida, while leading by four points in Ohio.

    That’s a sharp and frightening reversal of fortune for Clinton’s camp, which had expected to cruise to victory in those states.

    And the general public will eat it up because we all love our "Reality" TV and Trump is the first "Reality" candidate. The OP is correct in that he has no fear of the democratic talking points and he will do all he can to use them against Clinton.

    Trump's gonna take HIllary's PC ugly stick and beat her with it and I'm lovin' it.

    Political Correctness has hurt the civilized world worse than anything because it's the vector that carries all the plagues upon us: the viability of corrupt politicians (mostly leftists), the explosion of govt, govt corruption (EPA, IRS, BLM and more), out of control regulations and debt, the corrupt school curriculum, and even the rise of ISIS. PC protects criminality and corruption and helped obama and Hillary hold themselves above the law.

    What is political correctness? Not being able to drop the N word without being thought of as ignorant? Having the basic respect for humans to not treat them as trash Or simply calling them what they wish to be called? Not burning crosses? Not subjugating women to 2nd class status?

    So often folks rail against political correctness, but no one seems to be able to define it or say why not treating folks like (*)(*)(*)(*) is bad.

    Hillary was "inevitable" but here she is losing to Trump and unable to beat Bernie.

    You are on it, it is a plague. Folks talk about a coming apocalypse. It is here in the form of the PC virus.
    Id rather fight zombies because at least you kill the brain they are dead. PC zombies have no brain.

    What is treating folks like (*)(*)(*)(*)? If words make you feel like (*)(*)(*)(*) then that is about you not the other person.
    Your feelings are ..... wait for it ........YOURS.

    Instead of getting all bent cuz someone says something you feel isn't "nice" why not look in the mirror and examine why you feel injured?
    In the long run you will thank me.

    Whom is this directed to? It seems oddly disconnected from the post it is quoted. A poster railed against "political correctness". I asked her to define it.

    You know exactly what it is. It's speech suppression; censorship by pressure from the left. Forcing people to shut up by intimidation. I've said a lot of things about you - never did I say you were stupid.

    Direct at anyone who chooses to take it in.

    I answered a question with a "related" reverse question. I will oblige with 2 definitions.

    Here is the Cambridge dictionary definition : Someone who is politically correct believes that language and actions that could be offensive to others, especially those relating to sex and race, should be avoided.

    Here is mine: Political correctness is a tool i can use to silence anyone who says anything i object to or disagree with.

    That is all very subjective and loose.

    By intimidation? By thinking others boorish or unintelligent through demonstration?
