Hillary Clinton is Done: part 3

[Foolmewunz]

Really? hmmmmm. I just read today that after Trump's immigration speech that the Clinton campaign made a big ad buy in AZ.



But frankly, 6 figures isn't that big a buy.

Yep, that was a spot purchase. The buy I was referring to was the bulk purchase they did of about 10 mio. It was spread across the states we habitually refer to as "swing", and had nothing dedicated for AZ, GA, MO, UT.

I can't find the article, but it also mentioned that Trump's campaign had bragged about buying a similar amount of time in about a dozen states, but then only spent half that amount in fewer locations. I thought it was in Politico, but damned if I can locate it.


ETA: Apparently this is a reaction after.... A) His embarrassing AZ speech and B) the final fund-raising numbers from August which were rather good. They probably figure that since all the weisenheimers were discussing how they fell for the head fake and were now probably pulling back,... Hell, let's throw a half a mil into those markets just to keep Kellyanne on her toes. It's kinda like the Dems are playing with their food.

Brace yourselves for a fresh deluge of supposition and innuendo now the FBI has released its files on the email investigation.

Is she done then?

Or just Guilty until proven Guilty?

 

[caveman1917]

Looks like she wants to start a world war now.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party presidential nominee and former US secretary of state, has said that if she becomes president cyberattacks against US interests will be treated "like any other attack" – and that includes military action.

{...}

"We need to respond to evolving threats from states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea," Clinton said in the speech. "We need a military that is ready and agile so it can meet the full range of threats and operate on short notice across every domain – not just land, sea, air and space but also cyberspace.

She's a Clinton. By definition, guilty of something : by extension, guilty of anything.

 

[CapelDodger]

I hear a whisper that Trump steered $25K through his charitable foundation to someone who was investigating his fraudulent university, subsequent to which said individual dropped the investigation.

Has anything as substantial been brought up against the Clinton Foundation?

 

[caveman1917]

Are you quite sure you want to bring the I-word into this?

Having revenge fantasies because someone hacked your email? Sure. Actually making a campaign promise to initiate military action against Russia/China because someone hacked your email? The I-word will do just fine here.

 

[Darat]

If she had said that I'm sure many people would be concerned.

 

[catsmate]

Is she done then?

Still simmering nicely.

Or just Guilty until proven Guilty?

To certain people yep, just look at this:

Just making sure to point out the obvious. That the consensus among liberals on this forum, when given a choice in the matter, is to make sure to give power to an insane war criminal.

I await your proof that Clinton is (1) insane and (2) a war criminal.

 

[caveman1917]

If she had said that I'm sure many people would be concerned.

No they wouldn't, they'd just go "but look at Trump, he said something offensive to an American minority" in defense of her. Have you learned nothing from this thread?

Already shown earlier in the thread.

Seems a bit strange to be berating folk for what you assert they would say if your hypothetical situation was a reality.

 

[caveman1917]

Yeah, if you look at what Clinton actually said caveman's mendacity is obvious.

She literally said that, as president, she will be ready to respond to cyber attacks with serious military responses. She then said that Russia and China are "hacking into a lot of things".

She said that she would treat all attacks on the USA seriously even cyber attacks.

 

[caveman1917]

Seems a bit strange to be berating folk for what you assert they would say if your hypothetical situation was a reality.

It's not hypothetical. Again, she literally said that she will be ready with serious military responses to cyber attacks and then accused Russia and China of employing cyber attacks.

There's nothing strange about it if folk have provided sufficient information to deduce what their response would be in a (hypothetical) situation.

 

[caveman1917]

She said that she would treat all attacks on the USA seriously even cyber attacks.

Here is what she literally said:

We will be ready with serious political, economic, and military responses

From which follows: "we will be ready with serious military responses".

Lie #1.

She literally said that, as president, she will be ready to respond to cyber attacks with serious military responses. She then said that Russia and China are "hacking into a lot of things".

Lie #2.

Let’s modernize our Army, and Marines, our Navy, and Air Force, our Coast Guard. We need to respond to evolving threats from states like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea from networks, criminal and terrorist networks like ISIS. We need a military that is ready and agile so it can meet the full range of threats, and operate on short notice across every domain, not just land, sea, air and space, but also cyberspace.

 

[caveman1917]

As president, if someone does X then we will be ready with serious military responses.
Russia does X.
China does X.
Therefor, ...?

 

[catsmate]

From which follows: "we will be ready with serious military responses".

I see you're selectively quoting again.
Leaving out the bits that don't suit your agenda. Let's have the full quote.

As President, I will make it clear, that the United States will treat cyber attacks just like any other attack. We will be ready with serious political, economic and military responses. And we’re going to invest in protecting our governmental networks and our national infrastructure. I want us to lead the world in setting the rules of cyberspace.
