the worst rumor about the emails was still a nothingburger. she was accused of receiving information that wasn't marked classified but probably should have been and having an i.t. staff that didn't keep up with the latest microsoft updates. that's it.

as for benghazi, she was accused of delaying the utterance of the word "terrorism", as if a timely incantation would have revived the assassinated americans.


darth cheney outed an undercover cia operative, quite likely getting a number of contacts killed in the process, and shutting down an entire cia operation. the media didn't much care about that, though.

toxic donnie committed a crime by openly soliciting the electronic breaking and entering of the computer systems of private americans and private american organizations, then allowing him to profit from the use of contraband. again, the media wasn't much bothered by this.


thing is, *even if the rumors about hillary are true*, a rational person, a rational media, would say, "so what?" the worst of the email nonsense is maybe she should have gotten a warning and made sure her i.t. staff kept up with the security updates.


oh, and any bets the toxic trump administration will use private servers?

2016 will be forever remembered for the stolen election and the hoodwinking of America. 2017 and beyond will make 2016 look like the good ol' days.

18. Know where "Old Wives' Tales" comes from?

Old Wives were the village midwives and root doctors. They brought babies, nursed the sick, and generally were around in people's' houses for long periods of stressful times. Naturally they saw a lot. So to circumvent anyone finding out their secrets, instead of respecting these women rumors were spread that you couldn't trust anything they said, that their wisdom was suspect. After a while they became so suspect they were burned as witches.

So yeah, we're all civilized now.
