Well, then I guess there was no reason for Hillary have her staff get rid of her phones with a hammer...

We have a CSO page...wow who knew...seems like a waste, kind of like an 18X page. 🥃

I hear what you are saying but a couple of notes and some logic should apply. 1. Do you trust the DOJ and Comey? It is sad we have to say it out loud but actions over the past 8 years have completely destroyed my faith in the DOJ and much of the FBI. As you noted above they doctored FISA warrants to get to Trump. Additionally, they knew the dossier was fake, the helped suppress the Hunter Laptop story when they knew it was real because they had a copy of it, and as the Durham report identified political interference at multiple levels which the FBI admits saying they have already put fixes in place to remedy. 2. Please tell me you have a basic understanding of how these classified information systems work...I am obviously not going to lay out our nations classified information structure on an unclassified forum, but it should be basic knowledge that the systems that handle TS/SCI SAR/SAP do NOT touch other systems, personal servers in particular. It was a deliberate, purposeful and manual act to take that info and move it to Hillary's private server. I listed the first point above because they very carefully parsed their words (just like Comey did when he made the announcement during the election), and outright lied in a few others, a few examples from your quotes: a. There was no evidence that the senders or former Secretary Clinton intended that classified information be sent to unauthorized recipients, or that they intentionally sought to store classified information on unauthorized systems." Given what you should know about these systems you and I both both know this is untrue. b. "There was no evidence that the senders or former Secretary Clinton believed or were aware at the time that the emails contained classified information. In the absence of clear classification markings, the prosecutors determined that it would be difficult to dispute the sincerity of these witnesses’ stated beliefs that the material was not classified." (p. 255) So again, you know it was purposeful to move that data but because they stripped the marking off in the process (you should be saying HOLY F*CK with your inside voice), that somehow adds to the sincerity of their statements of ignorance? Seriously bro? c. "Although some witnesses expressed concern or surprise when they saw some of the classified content in unclassified emails, the prosecutors concluded that the investigation did not reveal evidence that any U.S. government employees involved in the SAP willfully communicated the information to a person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retained the same." (p. 255) Oh so because they didn't willfully send it to a person without a clearance its all ok...even though the FBI acknowledges the contents of Hillary's serve ended up in the hands of a foreign power. I am a simple dude and the bottomline for me is the deliberate act of taking info off those separate servers. I can certainly see a scenario when Pence and Biden ended up with classified documents without malice and I believe punishment/prosecution should account for that. Were the Pence documents exposed to a foreign power, likely no. Were the Biden documents exposed to a foreign power, given they were in multiple locations including the Chinese funded Penn/Biden Center AND in the garage within reach of his crackhead son...I would raise that risk to medium. Were the Trump documents exposed to a foreign power, prior to the indictment I would have said no since the Secret Service guards his home, but if reports of him showing items like the Iran CONOP to uncleared persons...I would also raise that risk to medium. With Trump it certainly appears to be a willful purposeful act and he should be held accountable and I hold the exact same assessment of Hillary. Again remember in Hillary's case it was a purposeful act to move that material and in the end it likely ended up in the hands of the Russians and Chinese and what was the impact of those actions. Let me remind you, straight from U.S. Code on the State Department: Title 22 - Foreign Relations Volume: 1Date: 2004-04-01Original Date: 2004-04-01Title: Section 9.5 - Classification designations.Context: Title 22 - Foreign Relations. CHAPTER I - DEPARTMENT OF STATE. SUBCHAPTER A - GENERAL. PART 9 - SECURITY INFORMATION REGULATIONS. § 9.5 Classification designations. (a) Only three (3) designations of classification are authorized: “Top Secret,” “Secret,” and “Confidential.” (1) Top Secret. Information may be classified “Top Secret” if its unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. This classification should be used with the utmost restraint. Examples of “exceptionally grave damage” include armed hostilities against the United States or its allies; disruption of foreign relations vitally affecting the national security; the compromise of vital national defense plans or complex cryptologic and communications intelligence systems; the revelation of sensitive intelligence operations; and the disclosure of scientific or technological developments vital to national security.

Back to regularly scheduled sport bitching... Does Trump Multiple Indictments change the race? Guessing it will harden his base and given he admitted to not declassifying some things, he is in legal peril. A charge under the Espionage Act seems like a stretch and how do you make that argument when DOJ gave Hillary a pass when she purposely took TS/SCI SAR/SAP off a classified server and transferred them to an open system. I wonder if the DOJ will given Biden the same Espionage Act charge for taking large amounts of classified and storing them in multiple locations including his SCIF-Garage. Maybe we get lucky and neither one of these clowns can run.

I never said Nashville is a shithole, I almost moved there and I happen to love the town. What I said was your previous statement that Nashville is better than it has ever been is incorrect...For the past few years (mysteriously aligned with the defund the police movement), violent crimes and murder are increasing in Nashville and most other large U.S. cities.

I know the truth hurts...

Nashville.gov Nashville, TN Is Among the Most Dangerous US Metro Areas https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/violent-crime-rates-nashville-2022-report/ It is not apples to oranges. You have repeatedly stated all the big cities are run by democrats, that data (adjusted for population), clearly shows the rate of crime, especially violent crime is far higher when you live in an area controlled by democrats. Interestingly the 2022 election results by county directly correlates to that data set. Ummm the graphs I posted are indeed population adjusted, Perhaps you didn't actually read them? 🤷‍♂️ You used data adjusted to 100K, the graphs I posted are more granular (FBI data sets), and are down to 1K. Bottomline - you assert Nashville has never been better, that simply is not true, especially the past four years. Your data set stops in 2021, the data I highlighted continues in to 2023. From your data and mine, yes some crime is down, but violent crime (the crap that matters to me), is way up, particularly over the past four years. Violent crime and murder are up 29%, I would invite you to focus on the bottom lines of the link YOU posted...notice the red? Walk the data out to current day. Violent crime, especially since the last election when the dems went soft on crime, is unsurprisingly way up. A very telling quote from the story WKRN did "This year was the third year there had been over 100 homicides reported in Davidson County by Dec. 24. It was an 82.8% increase compared to just 10 years ago when there were only 58 homicides reported." We both know Nashville is fast growing city, but the growth rate over the last ten years is 20.9% while the murder rate is up 82.8%. Doesn't sound better than ever to me... The FBI stats as of January stop at 2021 (no idea why it takes them so long), but as of 2020 Nashville was #41 in FBI ranking of most dangerous cities in the United States. Given violent crime is accelerating thanks to the radical Dem policy of "Defund the Police", it will be interesting to see how Nashville relates to other cities.

As you know I have spent a LOT of time in Nashville and what you are saying is simply not true unless you are ignoring crime. Aside from lunatics detonating bomb laden RVs in the center of town you also have some other statistics that are counter to your assertion. In particular, violent crime is up year over year and increasing with homicide setting new records. Over the last decade homicide in Nashville is up a staggering 78%...hardly the utopian liberal hemp fest you are suggesting. Oh and according to current reports, after a 27% increase in 2019 and 2020, the 2023 homicide rate is up another 8.7% as compared to the same time in 2022...congrats! Adjusted for population and as compared to the rest of Tennessee and the nation, some sad numbers emerge. The violent crime rate in Nashville is almost double the rate of the rest of Tennessee and nearly triple the national average. The property crime and other crimes categories follow the same trend.

As you know there is a HUGE difference between acceptance/equal treatment of LGTBQ and the progressive movement that is being forced down our throats, I would hope @nsplayr would agree. Compare and contrast how the issue is being handled by the progressive media in Florida and California. Last year Florida passed a law that the progressive movement absolutely hated because it thwarts their agenda...they hate it so much they changed the name and have repeatedly called it the "don't say gay law" even the the word "gay" is no where in the verbiage. That law simply states schools will not have “instruction” or “discussion” of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade. If you see something wrong with that...god help you. The progressives are of course upset and screen it impacts their free speech as if their right to proselytize gender change to kids 5-8 years old is more important than parental rights. In California schools have allowed institutions like Planned Parenthood and organizations that promote gender change to promote this ideology without the knowledge or permission of parents. In these sessions they tell 5-8 year olds they can get puberty blockers without their parents finding out. Truly sick humans. I supposed these same groups would enable a six year old who wants to be a pirate and schedule his eye removal and peg leg surgery. This ideology is celebrated in California schools and parents who push back find themselves under surveillance by the FBI as possible domestic terrorists. It is very interesting that over 80% of kids who seek gender conversion end up changing their mind...80%. I will support your right to be what you want and love who you want all day, but stop promoting this to pre-adolencents and stop cutting parents out of the process.

I'll disagree with you here as a justification for these events. LGTBQ/Pride month will not change the heart of a biased person. And, more often than not in the military it turns into a forced event that ends up with a negative connotation. Perhaps I have scar tissue but reflecting back on 26 years of these types of forced events I can't think of a single one that made me walk away with an "ah ha" moment. 18X...hardly, you are mixing and matching numerous studies and when you peel them back they are full of bias and flawed logic...It is a sad fact that the vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual white men...many have kids of their own. When you actually read these studies they provide no scientific evidence of anything you are claiming. Most of them use opinion and conjecture, usually published on religious sites or religious advocacy group sites with a preface saving homosexuality is a deviant behavior. As a Christian I am always shocked the religious groups which as a foundation teach love and tolerance are so concerned and butthurt about what other people do in the privacy of their own home. This right here. Flashing back to high school there was a guy that was obviously gay but the environment of the period I grew up in was far less accepting than today. Looking back on it now he was extremely bitter and no one really wanted to hang out with him, not because we knew he was gay but because he was always so angry. I was in AP English and was placed in a small group of four students with him to work several projects. In that small group he let his guard down and was a completely different person. By that time (10th grade), he had read and re-read all the classics, with ease he could pull the threads of those books to the ancient philosophers and the bible. He had an incredible mind, truly the guy was brilliant but he hid it under this facade of anger that must have been his defense mechanism. I didn't interact with him much after that class, we rode the same bus and on several occasions I tried to be social and say hello but he was back in his shell and mostly ignored me. At my 20 year reunion I learned he committed suicide (RIP Gary), and I couldn't help but think how difficult high school was for him and just how cruel other kids can be. As a heterosexual I am attracted to women, I can't comprehend being attracted to another man...but that doesn't make homosexuality wrong. I have worked and flown with numerous gay people...guess what...so have ALL you...and they were all most likely great Americans serving their country. Over the course of my career I also saw four egregious cases of pedophilia...and ALL were straight white men who were chasing young girls...one of them his own daughter. Like the forced celebration events, nothing we say here is going to change Bfargin's heart...so be it, we are free country and you are entitled to your opinion, but all that hate is going to eat you up and life is way to short to hate someone else just because of who they love.

100%...he doesn't walk, he shuffles which happens in older people as their brain function declines. This is a complete embarrassment for our country.

An AI-powered drone tried to attack its human operator in a US military simulation Speaking at a conference last week in London, Col. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton, head of the US Air Force's AI Test and Operations, warned that AI-enabled technology can behave in unpredictable and dangerous ways... "The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat," Hamilton said at the May 24 event, "at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective." According to Hamilton, the drone was then programmed with an explicit directive: "Hey don't kill the operator — that's bad." It didn't work. "So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target," Hamilton said.

God help us... Oh and look at CQ, his wife and other senior GOs laughing.
