    No argument to this. 
    Bravo for you folks encouraging everyone to vote while a major party (your guess is as good as mine) is doing the very opposite.
    Best to bring them from border countries illegally to get the vote.

    You guys do realize that the kneeling this weekend was about the NFL giving Trump the middle finger and nothing to do with social issues, right?  I can't be the only one who understands this...
    Wait, I thought Trump pushing this all to the forefront was simply his way of directing attention away from reports that his daughter and son-in-law may have been conducting government business on private email servers, which he and others have previously suggested should be grounds for imprisonment. Lots of moving parts with this one.
    There is a big difference between using a private companies email system and setting up your own elaborate server system which is not discoverable by the authorities...
    Not really. Both are able to provide requested data in response to a warrant. Private email providers are not required to preserve data that is on their systems in perpetuity so many emails can automatically "age out" and be automatically deleted.

    Hey man!  There were AT LEAST 5 million votes cast by dead or alien people in 2016, just in California alone!!!
    I am Zorkoff, from the plant Jerkoff, and I voted illegally in your primitive election, as our race is superior and we want to subjugate your planet while controlled by feeble minded dorks.   Thank you for your support.  Zorkoff out.

    I knew there just had to be something we would eventually agree on! 

    It's a shame some states/localities make it so hard for many people to vote.

    I'm guessing by "they" you mean a private email provider.

    By "destroy the info" I'm guessing you think that one has to physically destroy a hard drive (or other data recording/archiving device) to make data essentially unrecoverable.

    You mean “wipe it with a cloth”? If you think it’s the same to have possession and the ability to destroy the evidence/ record, you are not a free thinker. Just another sheep. Desperate to confirm your biases. Troll.

    An email provider has zero incentive to keep data that a user has deleted. It takes up space on spinning rust. Spinning rust is a cost center. Servers under regulation, whether a regulated industry (finance, pharma, etc) or gov must retain records for a specified period of time. Private email providers may not put the hard drives in a drill press to destroy the expunged data, but they do overwrite it to store new data as soon as they possibly can.

  • Seems clear Kushner and others in Trump's West Wing used private email because he wanted some of his comms to be outside the official Presidential records.   Clinton wanted hers to be free from a FOIA request.  Really not all that different.  

    Where the emails were hosted is just a distinction without much of a difference in this case.  

    The Price stuff is also kind of remarkable.  Dude is chartering jets to go have lunch with his son and stuff, all on the government dime.  It really is a kakistocracy up there we have now.

    If the info exist and it’s  subpoenaed, they won’t purposely destroy it. That’s all. Huge difference in one case I can think of.

    Compared to many other countries voting in the US  is not at all easy. 

    Why is election day in the US on a normal workday? That alone puts up an obstacle for many folks.

    Many states don't readily allow absentee voting or early voting.

    Many localities have been shown to limit the number of polling places and/or voting stations which creates lines with unnecessarily long waits.

    I knew our agreement wouldn't last very long. :)

    It’s extremely easy to vote here compared to anywhere in the world. I agree there is prejudice in the system for those of us who work, but it’s manageable with advanced planning. Of course if you consider properly identifying eligible legal voters , it’s only a bit more difficult.

    That is just so untrue. Many countries make the whole process, starting with registration, much easier. Sweden for instance.

    One of the main problems in the US is that voting rules/procedures are set up by 50 separate states and thus the rules/procedures can vary widely from state to state.

    While in many states it seems their rules/practices are designed to be all inclusive but the opposite is true in many others.

    Brother, I appreciate you, but that’s so untrue. When last did you ink your finger?  Sweden is your random example?  That’s a farce. State rule is what our founding fathers prescribed and envisioned. “Many countries “.  Educate yourself about all the countries and the ease and delightful experience they enjoy when voting. It’s generally rigged and fraught with violence. Not here.

    The NFL is the most profitable form of socialism in the world.  Televison revenue sharing, government subsidized facility construction that the oligopoly profits from, all done under the myth of the greater good for all of us theory have turned me off to pro football.  Oh and the NFL knew about the concussion issue long before CTE was named and the league attempted  to cover it up.


    I love the game and root for certain players  but absolutely despise what the league has done to it.  Cam Newton is great when he wins games and hands out footballs to kids but is an absolute weak example of a leader when he can't man up and face cameras after losing the super bowl and take responsibility.  NFL owners arrogantly feel entitled to state of the art scoreboards at the expense of public education as in cininnati, or they want to retain corporate suite lease revenue in order to remain competitive. 

    Meanwhile spoiled brat millionaires, who exist under the blanket of the greatest, albeit not perfect, economic free market system in the world use their celebrity status to make a political statement have no idea what sacrifice, honor and integrity really mean.  

    The NFL is no longer about the game but rather all about image preservation, political correctness and audience expansion for the sake preserving, enhancing and discovering revenue streams.
