Wow, we've turned using the wrong email address into "putting lives at stake"?
I swear to god, as an outsider this is the most boring and tedious scandal.
I agree. I'm not saying there aren't any legit concerns surrounding that, but in the grand scheme of things, I'm still not entirely sure why it's a huge thing. Though if BigMac's theory is correct, then that would explain some of it.
As for all the talk of any other shady stuff she may have been involved in, I honestly don't know enough about those other rumored scandals to comment one way or another. If she does indeed have some skeletons in her closet, real serious stuff that could pose a significant issue not just to her campaign, but also to the country at large, certainly, I'm all for bringing that stuff up and doing investigations and so on if needed.
The problem is that unfortunately, it's damn near impossible for the media and pundits and so on to discuss these rumored scandals of hers in an objective manner that allows us to hear the actual truth of the situation either way. Those who would want to protect and support Hilary will find ways to brush aside or justify any iffy stuff she was involved in, and those who already don't like her will jump all over even the slightest hint of a possible scandal, not because they genuinely care about upholding ethics in politics, but because, "Hey! Political gain for me!" And as a result, it makes any legit investigations being made into her past seem almost pointless and irrelevant, because I get the feeling we'll never know the full truth no matter what.
I will say this, though (and I'm speaking in general terms here, this isn't targeted at anyone here): I do find it funny that some people seem so
shocked and
offended at the idea of a politician being involved in a scandal. I've seen comments from anti-Hilary people elsewhere who are practically foaming with rage over this e-mail thing, but I'd be willing to bet good money that if we looked into the past of whichever politician they supported, we'd find a few questionable or outright illegal things in those people's pasts, too. Not that that would justify or excuse any illegal things Hilary might've done, of course, but some people's reactions just strike me funny all the same.
It's sort of like when people complain about Hilary not acting trustworthy enough, or lying. Wow, so she's behaving like virtually every other politician has since time immemorial?! Shocking.
Hey! Nice to "see" you. Hope you are well.
Good to see you, too
. All's well here, hope things are good with you.
