Poor America.

[WTF]

In other words, we already knew she was guilty as fuck for several felonies, but no fucking way will we recommend prosecution no matter the evidence. Including the fact that Hillary routinely ordered her maid to print out classified materials, in clear violation of the law.

[Atanarjuat]

I don't know much about handling classified material, but that sounds bad. What is that violation called, and what's the punishment for it?

[Rich]

If the FBI rules there's no intent to fuck over the entire country, it's not a violation.

[Playa Manhattan.]

If the FBI actually did its job, she'd be looking at about 10,000 years in prison. I'm not kidding.

[PBR Streetgang]

The violation is called "nothing to see here" and the punishment is called "shut yer mouth."

[Idle Hands]

what's the punishment for it?

a slip of about 6 points in the polls, and extra campaign stops.

[Red Rocks Dickin Bimbos]

What is that violation called, and what's the punishment for it?

1) Providing someone with no security clearance AND need to know access to classified materials
2) Fines and jail, if you're not Hillary Clinton.

[Idle Hands]

but there is no proof she did that on purpose:

Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.

From within the SCIF, Santos ? who had no clearance ? "collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton," the FBI notes revealed.

[The Fusionist]

Don't worry, Hillary has a new maid now, and Olga promised on the honor of Holy Mother Russia not to share any classified data.

This is so fucking outrageous I'm considering voting for Donald "Drain the Swamp" Trump. 8-(

[PurityDiluting]

When every single group involved with this election circus does their post-game analysis, they are all going to decide that the best action to take next time is to double-down on what they did this time but with even more gusto.

"Ajax, your teacher is wrong. This had no lesson at all. It's impossible for any thinking person to come away with any new insight whatsoever.

Word Salad of the Day: Heteroromantic Cis Ace

I'm a heteroromatic cis ace woman who doesn't experience sexual attraction or sexual desire, and fluctuates between being indifferent about sex and being averse.

When I realized I was asexual, I was in the relationship I'm currently in, with a cis het man whose feelings, desires, and need for sex are completely different from my own. We've faced many challenges because of our sexual incompatibility. Yet, our relationship is still standing.

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

tl;dr "I'm so ugly that I can't get laid so I compensate by inventing a bullshit identity."

[Atanarjuat]

No one is so physically ugly they can't get laid.

Some people have personalities that are unfuckable.

Hah! I had the sense to hover over the link, so I knew not to click it.

I click every I link I see in HyR now. Really scars the brain. Makes you mentally tough.

Also, waking nightmares and paranoia.

[Citizen X]

Heroic Mulatto's links make it all worth it.

[Crusty Juggler]

Case in point: someone schtupped this lass.

[Playa Manhattan.]

Weird. I looked at her fingers and suddenly realized that it's time to cook breakfast.

[Citizen X]

I remembered that it's time to rotate the tires on my car.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

And you're jealous?

/I don't know why I put a question mark on what was clearly a statement.

[Crusty Juggler]

A gay man pretends to sleep with this lady, and most of you would sleep with her, too. Disgusting.

[bibo ergo sum]

You've chipped away at my heterosexuality for the last time, Crusty! I shan't click again!

*waves angry fist at iPad screen*

[Zeb]

In this case, she does seem to have the opportunity to get laid.

I find it hard to imagine as well, but people do exist who just aren't interested in sex.

[commodious cam't contmpla..]

But imagine making your problem proclivity the basis for your identity. That's what's fucked up.

[Zeb]

I agree. I can't understand basing one's identity on something you aren't interested in. It's hard enough to understand people who define themselves primarily on an actual positive sexual orientation.

[Citizen X]

"There is literally nothing else remotely interesting about me."

[Rich]

heteroromatic cis ace woman

I have no idea what this means.

[UnCivilServant]

It's word salad to let a dull person pretend they're special.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

A long way of going around the fact that she's as frigid as a polar bear.

[Ceci n'est pas un woodchipper]

It means she's downed at least five enemy aircraft.

I don't know. It takes all kinds.

I have a friend who is partially paralyzed from a spinal injury who has a mostly asexual, gay "boyfriend". It's kind of weird, but they can call it what they want.

[Xavier T. Sexington]

Sooo... you're frigid?

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

Got to experience handcuffs and a 4th Amendment violation this weekend. 10/10, would try again. Spark Notes version: I was in a traffic stop and supposedly had priors of assault and distribution of a controlled substance (my record is clean, save a couple speeding tickets) so I was hadcuffed and my car searched. Full story is through my handle. And I know, I know... never ever talk to the cops. 5th Amendment and all that. But I was scared shitless and I'm naturally cooperative. Just a little shaken up and glad it's over. I guess I earned my libertarian wings?

[Rufus The Monocled]

Some of you have waaaayyyy too much action. Glad it worked out.

[tarran]

You got through it... that's what matters.

[WTF]

Illegal search. Because FYTW. But nobody should be fearful of the cops.

[Free Society]

Nobody ought to be, but when it comes to a gang of thugs that can do basically anything they want to you, with near total immunity, you should be scared of them. It's rational to fear monsters.

[RBS]

I was traveling to West Virginia

There is your first mistake.

[Dick N. Bimbose (n?e Cooper)]

Dude, WVA is beautiful.

[Glide]

It's a good state to drive through. Not so great staying there for long.

[Crusty Juggler]

That's a fucked up story. When interacting with those assholes it is best to be polite and respectful. Also, never be afraid of them, because fuck them.

[Idle Hands]

I think it's probably prudent to be scared of people who can kill you without repercussion.

[Crusty Juggler]

Being worried about what they can do to you and showing them how afraid you are of them are not the same. I assume they think fear is a sign of guilt. Just be polite and respectful.

[Free Society]

Being worried and showing fear isn't the same thing as being afraid. That that you know you need to be "polite and respectful" despite that your instincts tell you to skull fuck them to death (mine do anyways) tells me that you have a healthy and rational fear of the impunity with which they can destroy a person.

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

^^^ This. I was respectful the whole time. Doesn't mean I wasn't ready to shit my pants out of fear.

[Crusty Juggler]

I did not mean to imply you were wrong in any way. I guess I am just used to dealing with backwoods cops.

[AlexInCT]

That's a purdy mouth?

[Tyler.C]

Did you get badge #?

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

Just the one that issued the citation. I didn't think to turn on phone recording or anything.

[Zeb]

Fuck. That's terrible.

Is it SOP to jack people up like that because they committed a crime 5 years ago?

[SIV]

It may not have been a "mistake". They very well just lied to him.

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

I'm thinking they were straight up bullshitting me to get me to confess to a crime I didn't do. My record is clean. A couple speeding tickets. Nothing serious. I work in engineering - in depth background check with every job I've had. It has always come up clean.

[SIV]

I'd say they were hoping you'd confess to an unrelated crime you did do.

You shouldn't have acted scared and you talked too much.

I'm not going to suggest how/when/if to play it but having a state-issued weapons permit on you is essentially "proof" that your record was clean up to the issuing date. Two excellent "passive plays" are an NRA sticker on the rear driver-side window and a well-worn book-marked Bible on the console/passenger seat/dash

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

You shouldn't have acted scared and you talked too much.

It's easy to sound tough sitting behind a keyboard.

[SIV]

Having self confidence and knowing when to shut the fuck up isn't tough

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

Keep going, bruh. You're totally changing my mind here.

[commodious cam't contmpla..]

Social anxiety alone is enough to make routine interactions uncomfortable. A prolonged interview with a man whose badge means he can pop a couple into my stomach and keep his job sounds terrible.

[Fruit Sushi 2 Go]

Thank you, commodious. I should have mentioned I have medium grade social anxiety. I'm usually OK on a day to day basis but high stress situations cause me to bug out.

[Crusty Juggler]

My assumption: someone made a mistake when punching in the license number, or he shares a name with someone else. Inept and stupid are usually the answer, not outright evil.

[commodious cam't contmpla..]

It makes a lot of sense when you think of cops as MVD drones with guns.

[Crusty Juggler]

Chances are if a person is white, respectful, and looks like they can afford a good lawyer the cops will come together and realize they were wrong, which is what eventually happened. Their self-preservation (not that a cop would lose their job if they arrested him, but someone will reprimand them for wasting their time, the court's time, whatever on something they should have known was bullshit) and common sense will usually emerge at some point.

It is a horrible situation to be in, though.

[commodious cam't contmpla..]

Robby here certainly did himself no favors by reacting the way he did, but that redounds more on the cops' two-dimensional analysis of suspects: is the perp behaving in a way that could be construed as suspicious? If yes, then: guilty of something, just need to ferret out what. It's odd that they exercise their considerable power over mere civilians so impetuously but can't figure out why people get so nervous around them.

[Zeb]

Yes, I suppose that is quite possible.

Or they fucked it up and didn't want to look stupid.

[SIV]

Don't talk to the cops.

[gaoxiaen]

When your cousin is the mayor and former police chief, it helps to say at least one sentence. "Maybe you know my cousin...?"

[(((Renegade)))]

Truly one of the most evil people to inhabit DC, and that's some major competition. Janet Reno was one of the most influential people on my political views. Her comfort and blatant willingness to destroy families, ruin lives, and kill in the pursuit of power and authority took me over the line from skeptical about government to outright hostile and cynical.

I hope that while she's frying in Hell, she's thinking of Country Walk (and its progeny), incinerated children, and kidnappings at gunpoint

[DJF]

The three new $4 billion plus ,16,000 ton destroyers based around two long range(100 mile) 155 mm guns might not have any ammunitions since due to cancellations of follow on ships the ammo is expected to cost $800,00 plus per shell.

In comparison the Tomahawk cruise missile costs around $1.1 million and has 8 times the range and a 1000 pound warhead.

This effects the land attack capability of the DDG 1000 which is the major reason for building them since the rest of the weapons on the ship are more self defense then anything else. It does not effect the capability of the 155mm gun against other ships due to the fact the fire control system isn't designed to attack other ships so it has no capability

The New Navy Warship Big Guns have no Bullets

[Lee Genes]

Top Men

[gaoxiaen]

Top. Guns.

[Swiss Servator]

*Narrows. Gaze*

[WTF]

See? Obama really did gut the military, the Navy can't even afford ammo.

[Rasilio]

Maybe they should have a Bake Sale like the Air Force does every time they need a new Bomber?

[Mr Lizard]

So none of these dicksmacks thought to utilize an established artillery round caliber?

[UnCivilServant]

I believe the intent was to make an extretemly long-ranged artillery piece for shore bombardment. That was the whole reason the guns (and by extention the sip) were made. The existing ammunition wouldn't fit the parameters.

[Atanarjuat]

Because drones do the job too cheaply?

[UnCivilServant]

Do they? What's the cost per unit payload of a hellfire missile (explosive energy as measured in $/jule delivered or $/other appropriate unit mesure)

[UnCivilServant]

Some quick web inquiries have led to the answer that the $110,000 Hellfire is not particularly cheap, the two-missile capacity per predator drone is not particularly high and if they could have gotten the costs down, a bombardment from offshore could be both more effective per shot and carried out for a greater duration or at a greater number of dargets. Also, predator drones have been shot down, which adds to the cost per shot. In terms of explosive charge, there appears to be evidence that there is more power in the current standard 155mm shells than the hellfire to boot.

It really depends on who or what you're trying to blow up.

[Mr Lizard]

"It really depends on who or what you are trying to blow up"

That is a source of endless debate amongst my people

[jarflax]

Everyone, everything.

Debate ends

[WTF]

Shore bombardment? What's wrong with missiles? If we really need Navy guns to do it, just take the Iowa-class battleships out of mothballs.

[UnCivilServant]

Again I think it's down to cost per shot. The whole reason they canned the project. The goal was to do it cheaper - and there are a lot of crew on an Iowa. Destroyers are cheaper to run for extended duration.

[WTF]

Destroyers are cheaper, but the battleships have a lot more firepower for something like shore bombardment, if that's the goal.

[Rasilio]

existing ammo wouldn't but it is a friggin 155mm gun, last I checked the Army had tons of 155mm guns so is there some reason they could not have designed the damned gun so that it would be able to fire good old fasioned low tech 155mm army rounds and then special design the new super duper long range shell to fit into that same gun?

[UnCivilServant]

And let the army make use of them too? That's crazy talk.

[DJF]

They did, they chose 155mm in part because the Army had lots of it and it was cheap, so they were going to use Army ammo for short range and the special ammo for long range

But then halfway through the program they figured out that long range and short range artillery need different rifling so oops, that idea went down but they kept the 155mm

[Dick N. Bimbose (n?e Cooper)]

But then halfway through the program they figured out that long range and short range artillery need different rifling so oops

Penguin husband finds wife with another penguin. Bloody smackdown ensues.

Yes, penguins are very much wild animals, despite their cute exterior. And although Magellanic penguins usually mate for life, cheating is far from an uncommon occurrence, according to the BBC.

But that hasn't stopped the internet from freaking out over this particularly graphic example of penguins gone bad. The fact that the female still chose the homewrecker over her battered but devoted mate is especially upsetting to some people.

[CatoTheChipper]

Same here. It's high time people understood how untrustworthy and incompetent the federal government is.

The fact is that the majority of people already know this, but the conditioning they received K-12 and in college and from all the media they consume keeps them from internalizing this knowledge. A Hillary or Donald regime would be awesome if it were to disabuse people of the delusion that coercive government is a necessary good.

How human waste could be the future of oil

Turning sewage sludge into fuel has long been a science fiction fantasy of a waste-free world. But researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed technology to turn our 34 billion gallons of sewage a day into biocrude oil CLZ6, +1.54%

The technology, called hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), uses pressure and heat to mimic how the Earth creates crude oil, a process that takes millions of years. But HTL takes mere minutes.

"The best thing about this process is how simple it is," Corinne Drennan, who works on bioenergy technologies at PNNL, said in the press release. "The reactor is literally a hot, pressurized tube."

HTL breaks down organic matter, like human waste, into simpler compounds. That material gets pressurized at 3,000 pounds per square inch (one hundredth times of a car tire) and the reactor heats the sludge at 660 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once again the Warty dungeon is leading the technological charge.

[Rich]

Ha! Human waste is the future of *everything*!

[BigT]

Human waste is certainly the future of the Presidency.

...and the present.

[gaoxiaen]

Terrifying photo of giant spider nicknamed Charlotte goes viral

Photos of a giant huntsman spider that was rescued in Queensland, Australia, last year are going viral ? and people can't believe their eyes.

"Yes, she is very real and very large and not photoshopped," Barnyard Betty's Rescue, a local animal sanctuary that rescued the spider, explained in a Facebook post on Thursday.

Though alarmingly large, huntsman spiders ? with leg spans of up to 12 inches ? are generally known to be gentle, harmless creatures.

This hairy, 8-legged spider nicknamed Charlotte is living proof.

'Absolute madness': German town to separate refugees, residents with barrier taller than Berlin Wall

A town in Germany is erecting an enormous wall to separate its residents from refugees housed at a local migrant camp. The controversial 4-meter (13.1ft) barrier will stand higher than the Berlin Wall.

Located in the Munich suburb of Neuperlach Sud, the stone wall is aimed at dividing the town's families from around 160 unaccompanied child refugees who are set to move into a nearby shelter currently under construction.

The wall's construction is being seen as a compromise between angry residents and the local government after seven locals previously filed a complaint against the shelter, Welt reported.

Those against the shelter have argued that the site will cause the value of their homes to plummet, and have raised fears about noise coming from the site. The nearest houses to the shelter are located 25 meters (82ft) away, and are separated from the construction by trees and a road, according to Ruptly.

Amnesty tax: $15,000 per household, $1.2 trillion

Amnesty for illegal immigrants like a program proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton would require an immediate tax hike of $1.2 trillion, a $15,000 hit on every household in America, according to a new analysis of immigration reform.

The authoritative National Academy of Sciences said the cost to give some 11 million illegals citizenship rights would be staggering, though it suggested long-term benefits.

New analysis from Robert Rector reveals amnesty for illegal immigrants would require more taxes of $1.29 trillion https://t.co/aUWCIzdTsy? Heritage Foundation (@Heritage) November 4, 2016

A Heritage Foundation analysis of the NAS study looked at just the impact amnesty would have and said that an immediate tax increase of $1.29 trillion would be needed to finance the infrastructure, school, welfare and other costs of illegals.

[Hyperion]

Don't worry, it won't cost a single dime.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Progressive logic: Sure it will *cost* $1.5 billion but it really wouldn't because only the rich would pay for the free stuff. So it's really 'revenue neutral' when you carry the one and see all the benefits of our investments to the collective for the children and the Iraq and such. Duh.

[Idle Hands]

Clinton directed her maid to print out classified materials:

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government emails and documents ? including ones containing classified information ? from her house in Washington, DC, emails and FBI memos show. But the housekeeper lacked the security clearance to handle such material.

In fact, Marina Santos was called on so frequently to receive emails that she may hold the secrets to emailgate ? if only the FBI and Congress would subpoena her and the equipment she used.

Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.

Clinton would first receive highly sensitive emails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn, forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.

I mean I just can't get over this story, it seems so grossly negligent it's unbelievable.

Bill used to do that bent knuckle pointing thing when he gave speeches about "Feeling your pain". Hillary flat out points as she scolds us. At least 4 years of that boney finger tapping you in the sternum. "Whaddayagunna do bout it?"

[SugarFree]

"You will sign the letter, James," Hillary told him. The room was dark and he could barely see her. He was standing in something wet and floor smelled like dead things.

"That would be inappropriate, Secretary Clinton," he said.

"You will sign it. Just like you 'decided' you wouldn't prosecute me. Just like you 'decided' there was nothing in my emails." She spat out the word like a curse.

"I won't," he said. She laughed and her head tipped back into some small pool of dim light. He could make out her terrifying face.

"'I' has nothing to do with it. There is no you, there is only me and what I want. I thought we thought you this lesson back in July. I guess you need another," she said. Mook tittered in the corner but James didn't spare the catamite a glance.

"Secretary Clinton?" James began, but choked on his words when the lights came up.

She was on a low platform sitting in something that resembled an obscene miscegenation between an Adirondack chair and an autopsy table: stainless steel, blood channels and arms her lower legs were hooked over. She was nude and he stared at the dark whorls and stippled nodules of her flesh, the constellation of livid polyps that hung from her arms like a vile parody of fruit. Worse was the full exposure of the rippling chasm of diseased meat that split her crotch up to her fist-like bellybutton.

[SugarFree]

"Do you like what you see, James?" she asked. He vomited at some length on to the floor while Hillary and Mook laughed at him.

He looked up from where he was bent over. "I will not compromise my office for you again."

"They always have to do this the hard way," she said, smirking at Mook.

James was jerked off his feet and landed on his back on the wet floor that was as warm as infected flesh. He looked down at his feet. Tendrils had wrapped around them. He was being dragged toward her. He screamed and fumbled for his service weapon.

"Naughty, naughty" Mook said and kicked it out of his hand.

James felt the rough scales of the tendrils as they lashed around his calves and pulled him toward her. Others were pulling off his shoes and shredding his socks and the lower parts of his slack. Every time he got his head up to look at her it was jerked back down by another heave across the floor.

"I'm going to give you something to remember the next time you think about defying me, James." Her voice was very close now. He felt his feet engulfed in something cold and wet. When he pulled his head up, he realized he was in up to his ankles in her hair-choked cloaca.

"Remember, James," she whispered.

He screamed as chitinous plates began to grind away the flesh of his feet.

When it happened to Nixon, it gave the left spank-bank material for 40 years, even after his reputation was somewhat rehabilitated just before and after his death. But Nixon had people in his own party publically calling him out and the entire media complex on his back. Hillary has no such checks on her authority in place.

More American casualties in Afghanistan under Obama then Bush, Iraq a fucking mess, Libya a fucking mess, Syria a fucking mess, Egypt a fucking mess, relations with Russia a fucking mess. Yup, looking forward to a Hillary administration.

[BigT]

deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan are down by ~93% since the Bush years

Ummmm, Bush ain't running.

And how about bombing runs over Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghan, Paki, etc?? Hmmmm? Way up. So the killing machine is just getting more impersonal. But you're a peacenik, so you don't care.

[Eternal Blue Sky]

"Ummmm, Bush ain't running."

I thought he was in drag, changed his name, and was running as a democrat this year. You mean that isn't him??

[Eternal Blue Sky]

How are you defining "deployments" in that stat??

[american socialist]

I get them from here... I compared Q4 2008 numbers with the most recent numbers. I included contractors since the troop only numbers make Mr. Kenyan look better.

Oh, so, troops were pulled out of Iraq on the Bush Administration timetable (in spite of Obama Administration attempts to extend them) and troop strength was finally reduced in Afghanistan after being massively increased.

[Red Rocks Dickin Bimbos]

(deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan are down by ~93% since the Bush years)

it's nice to see a lefty admit that Obama didn't actually pull everyone out of those two places.

Secret Facebook group is giving Clinton supporters so much hope

If you're like many pundits who question whether Hillary Clinton has a devoted, passionate fan base, try checking behind closed doors.

On Pantsuit Nation, a secret Facebook group for Clinton supporters, more than a million people (and counting) have gathered to share emotional reflections on why they're voting for the first female presidential candidate from a major political party.

Clinton Supporters Exist In A Universe Of Pure Ethical Abstraction

There are right now two political types in the United States, and I do not base my distinction on ideological grounds. There are Clinton supporters, and everyone else. On the one hand you have people who support Hillary Clinton, and on the other hand, you have Trump supporters, disgruntled Democrats, Greens, Libertarians, Independents, and a vast array of people who may agree on little else, but who all agree with the basic presumption that Hillary Clinton is corrupt to the point of criminality.

Duh!

Nothing says "secret Facebook group" like an enrollment of 1 million.

Yes. I appear to have fucked up the tags

emotional reflections

Check

first female presidential candidate

Such bullshit. I want to ask all these "glass ceiling" voters the following hypothetical: if the election was between Carly Fiorina and Joe Biden, who would you vote for?

I don't ask, of course, because it would be futile.

[gaoxiaen]

Invest in a Barret, please.

Janice Rogers Brown vs. the late Robert "Wizard" Byrd - they'd vote for the dead Klansman in a moment.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

I know a perfectly nice girl who is posting Hillary pantsuit needlepoint patterns on Facebook.

BE SERIOUS.

[commodious cam't contmpla..]

Carly isn't a *real* woman because *real* women are feminists and feminists only vote for Democrats. QED.

A mother who drove her daughter to suicide. We can all relate to that.

Who told you - I mean, what are you talking about?

[jester]

Well here's a summary of her career.

Reno vs Branch Davidians (Reno wins in a massacre)
Reno vs Montana Freemen (Freemen win by not getting killed; end up in federal prison in El Reno, OK instead)
Reno vs Unabomber (Reno loses: left-wing terrorist? Doesn't fit narrative.)
Reno vs Timmy McVeigh (Reno silences him in a full on wollop)
Reno vs ACLU (Reno's ass is handed to her in 9-0 decision)
Reno vs Jewell (Alaskan folk singer wins after proving ID theft)
Reno vs Omar (Reno in a classic sheik down)
Reno vs Elian (Reno wins with blow from the Left)
Reno vs Parkinsons (Parkinsons in a TKO but it sure took a long fucking time)
