CCDC was like this

http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/309530-state-of-georgia-allegedly-accusing-homeland-security-of-attempted-hack

The letter goes on say that the systems under attack contained the personal information of over 6.5 million Georgians, 800,000 corporate entities and over 500,000 licensed or registered professionals.

“At no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration testing or security scans of our network," writes Kemp. "Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would require testing or scanning of our network.”

Kemp is a vocal opponent of a suggestion floated by some lawmakers that DHS declare elections critical infrastructure, which would give the federal agency some control over the state-based election systems. The idea was born of fears that Russia intended to hack the presidential election. DHS has said they had no intentions to pursue that strategy.

Steve Mnuchin, Contender For Trump Treasury Secretary, Headed 'Foreclosure Machine'

http://www.npr.org/2016/11/29/503755613/trumps-potential-treasury-secretary-headed-a-foreclosure-machine

So the best way to clean up wall street inside the government is to hire a wall street financiers with almost 20 years in the business? Huh?

Also, very troubling is this...

According to the coalition, OneWest foreclosed on more than 36,000 homeowners under Mnuchin. During that time, the FDIC made payments to OneWest totaling more $1 billion. Those payments went to the "billionaire investors of OneWest Bank," says Stein, "to cover the cost of foreclosing on working-class, everyday, American folks," many of whom lived in California.

Makes me think more and more, that Trump wants so badly to be a part of the monied elite, that he is just handing out favors at this point.

We came up with the Internet, and I think Secretary Clinton and myself would agree very much, when you look at what ISIS is doing with the Internet, they’re beating us at our own game. ISIS.

So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is—it is a huge problem. I have a son. He’s 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it’s unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it’s hardly doable.

But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. But that’s true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester, and certainly cyber is one of them.

"The test will apply to all immigrants, yet its obvious target is Muslims, who, as we know, get a bit bomby in the presence of gays, a bit rapey in the presence of women who wear skirts shorter than their ankles and generally a bit hostile and violent around anyone who doesn’t have their bum in the air five times a day."

The author actually thinks this is ok. Seems contradictory to the ideals we express, in "give me your tired, your weak, and your poor."

Just saying......

Oh man, how stupid

So, this is written by the former primary candidate, Ben Carson. IMO, it is a moronic and overly simple argument. For some reason he still feels compelled to defend this bigot.

For one, he mentions how when he was younger he would let his emotions run rampant and lash out when he felt threatened or attacked. What does it say about a thin skinned man-child who still does it? If trump were smarter he would shut his word hole and just let the news cycle die. He still thinks any press is good press.

Secondly, Mr. Khan was reacting to the statements of a loud mouthed orange haired hamster, that I felt, were reasonable given the acid-like statements of said rodent.

"substantive discussions"???? Dr. Carson, you are giving trump too much credit if you think he is capable of this. And asking the media to keep the candidates on point.... ,WTF? What is this kindergarten? Shouldn't the person running for one of the most powerful jobs on the planet be capable enough of keeping themselves on message?

If she was black.....

First, as the father of girls, the act done by the boys is abhorrent, and they should be punished severely under the law of the land. The refugee backlash is becoming equally abhorrent.

It's only because the girl was white is this a big issue. If the young girl was black, no one in this town would lift a finger. Not sure what to call it other than pure racism.

Assange certainly has an anti-Clinton agenda, due in part to the US government pursuing him for the state department cables. (IMO)

The sad fact is that maybe he feels he will get better treatment from a Trump presidency, which is false.

The publishing of the Turkish citizens information was disgraceful. At least wired admitted it.

Time for a new Wikileaks. Assange can no longer be trusted to be impartial.

My election prediction. (for now...)

Why Donald Trump Is Flailing

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/06/why_donald_trump_is_flailing.html

So, I think we are going to see more of these tantrums from trump, especially as the pressures of the race increase. I think these will grow to epic proportions that even the most devout republican will finally give up. The email thing, or any number of former things, will turn a good portion of people against her. If so, do Ted Cruz and/or Berne Sanders try to convince Americans to write in their names? If so, does anyone get a majority? If so, does Paul Ryan become the next president?

Marginal insults for trump

Whatever... The real thing will be if she can twist him around in any debates that might happen. That is really her only hope. If the email thing blows up, which I think the Republican party is timing things for the general election, she is doomed.
