    It did not. If you knew anything about DDoS attacks, they can hurt usability and responsiveness, but they're useless for plugging leaks.

    And the leaks are fucking glorious.

    Democrats are Tweeting that they're ashamed to be Democrats.

    The DNC leaks make Nixon look like a cross between Pope John Paul II and Gandhi. Trump will probably end up owning the party in a defamation suit.

    And we've just touched the surface of their latest dump.

    lol, okay. Have fun in fantasy land.

    Here's something I tripped over tonight. I'm more than a little shocked that The Christian Post would publish it but it's a pretty refreshing counterpoint. If I completely believed it was accurate, I might have to dial back the "somewhat less evil" characterization of her that I've been sticking with. Perhaps time will tell

    It's not fantasy land. All e-mails can be verified by anyone with Internet access or a good e-mail program. 2048-bit verification, bitch, not that liberals would know tech beyond screeching at men to pound rocks together to build the red flower thing that cooks food.

    The DNC is made up of human vermin who talk about Latinos like zoo animals.

    CNN's debate moderators were taking questions from the DNC, and we have the questions the DNC ordered them to ask now.

    The whole election was rigged. If Hillary wins millions of Democrats are going to die a bitter death.

    They were near-broke stealing White House furniture at the turn of the century, and she's now estimated to have what, 250 million?

    The Clinton Foundation is looking likely to be a scandal w/teeth, the pay to play implications even if criminal charges don't stick to someone will likely leave a taint.

    As head of state she'll be more entertaining than even the Italians, that scumbag assange should be dead but you can't unring the bell, the gift that will almost certainly keep on giving there's such volume.

    Hillary is a very private Christian (save for when she's asked about her faith, or it comes up in a campaign issue). She seems to be very much the type who goes into the closet or finds a quiet corner in which to pray. It tells you where the heart shift is for many Christians, that they want the man who openly, loudly, and boisterously yells about how Christian he is out one side of his mouth, while denigrating people out the other side. I admire humility, soft-spoken words of kindness, and a firm resolve tempered with compassion. Donald Trump would walk right into the Holiest of Holies like he owned the place.

    Jesus Christ. Hillary is the kind of Christian that would ass rape a little girl in the rectory, slit her tender throat, bury her dismembered body in the corner of the church yard, and then hold her parent's hands as she feels their pain. She's probably done this more than once and then thrown some dishes at Bill for being such a fuckwit rapist.

    Holy shit. Wiki dumped an e-mail where Vince Foster's murder was a given. That would explain why a left-handed person would use their right hand to blow their brains out.

    You know what? Normally I ignore your posts, because they're just really fucking stupid, but this right here is some seriously demented shit. If it were up to me, your ass would have been flung from the board a long time ago, as you contribute nothing, you do nothing but take up database space, and you interfere with and often derail actual discussions. If there is a single reason people don't come to this board, I would suspect you would be a significant part of it, and I lament the fact that I cannot do anything about that. Again, this is just disgusting, and if you had any shame, this would be the time to employ it. As you do not, however, I am resigned to continuing my previous practice of skipping past the garbage that spews from your keyboard.

    Go fuck yourself.

    Yeah. This board had thousands of people before I showed up. :rotfl:

    Again, you are a worthless excuse for a human being, as are half the mods here, and everyone here knows it and voices it quite frequently.

    You do not pass go. You do not collect $100 dollars.

    The reason people don't post here is a bunch of ass wipes run them off at the first opportunity using any bullshit excuse that enters their little peanut skulls.

    You are a stench in God's nostrils. Dispatch yourself accordingly.

    I had to giggle at Trump's claim the FBI couldn't have gone through all the emails already.

    He really is fucking clueless on these things.

    As for the FBI, they've now managed to piss off both parties, so if the GOP do go after their funding, they may find that they and the Democrats actually do have some common ground.

    well the latest item (might have been mentioned already) for everyone in the Hillary circle of trust to plead the Fifth about - The Clinton Foundation may have paid for Chelsea's wedding & other personal expenses over the years. Well damn - it's called The Clinton Foundation so she's not pulling any punches there! BTW as for the initial e-mail charges/not giving a fuck about security clearances why would anybody plead the Fifth if they didn't have anything to hide? :huh: Can some of you Hillarites explain this to a WMD (white middle aged devil) like myself? :damnkids:

    Uh, no. You need to stop reading Drudge an Wikileaks and such. Nobody's so much as investigating the Clinton Foundation, because there's no actual evidence of it being anything other than a model charity, so no one's going to be pleading the Fifth in that regard.

    On the other hand, Trump's "Foundation" is an actual scam that has been shut down because it's such a fucking scam.

    So what you're saying is you share the traits of Democrats:

    Seriously. Digital document discovery has become so efficient that the FBI could have gone through the emails in about half a day to double check they weren't duplicates of what they already had (which as it turns out they were).

    A good 3/4 of the uproar around the email scandal arises from most people not understanding technology.

    Yet how can they check Weiner's e-mails 500 times faster than they could check Hillary's e-mails, on an e-mails per second basis? Was there some huge technological leap in the past few weeks that we've not been told about? It took them a year to go through her 60,000 e-mails, but only eight days to go through 650,000?

    About 36 hours to go, and it'll be all over except the crying.

    The one thing I would like to see post election is most likely the one thing I won't: a constant scathing examination and condemnation on the behavior of American media.

    Because they had Hillary's emails to compare it to. They could easily weed out the duplicates and then just go through any Clinton emails that were left. Apparently there weren't all that many. :shrug:
