Is it like "GNU's Not Unix" or "KDE Desktop Environment"?
I hate those.
doesn't matter, Clinton voters do not read these articles.

Hey, pro hillary wall st bankers are cool. If they are hft fuckwads who make their entire living skimming every investor? Even better!This is the board in question-

Clicking thru the index, the charter reveals-
It's loaded up with high sounding security bureaucrats & wonks of all stripes who've mostly gone through the revolving door of govt into more lucrative positions in private industry. There are some interesting exceptions to the rule -
Hon. Douglas Bereuter, former Republican Congressman from Nebraska
Mr. Joseph Cirincione, President of Ploughshares Fund
Mr. Robert N. Rose, President of Robert Rose Consulting, LLC and former Senior Advisor to the Chairman of Bridgewater Associates, one of the largest hedge funds in the world
Amb. Robert Gallucci, Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy, Georgetown University, former President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and former Dean of the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University
It's not just about nuclear weapons but other stuff as seen under previous studies.
It's a good place to put a friend & initiate them to the big game. His HFT trading knowledge might be valuable & there's no way he can really fuck it up. The board has 30 members.
I mean, it's not like putting Clarence Thomas on the SCOTUS or stacking the civil service side of the DoJ with graduates from a low rank Fundie Law School, is it? Not like the poor guy GWB put in charge of FEMA or making John Bolton UN Ambassador so he could tell the ROTW to eat shit & die, either.
Pantsuit got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and they acted quickly to "protect the secretary and undersecretary".I read it. Seems completely overblown in light of what I posted above, not to mention that his name was withdrawn 2 days after the appointment was proposed.
That is a pretty hilarious defense!Pantsuit got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and they acted quickly to "protect the secretary and undersecretary".

it's obvious even the other board members were like "wtf this jackass doing here".
But hey, you apologize for everything she does, even going as far as sticking up for wall street hft fuckwads.
That was after people started looking in to his lack of credentials, ABC iirc. Then they stalled to protect "S.". Which of course there was no reason to do because this was all on the up and up giving a HFT who donated access to top secret information is what anyone in her position would do.I read it.

Addendum, I'm not saying that state screwed this up like basically everything else they touched during Clinton's tenure. If he actually did any work he probably had an interim. That doesn't mean it was a good decision or that he was qualified.
I don't like the fact that the system allows HFT to exist. It's parasitic although perfectly legal. Maybe the State Dept could approach it as an issue of national security. Having some expertise in the ISAB might be helpful.
OTOH, it's not like the guy told told the chumps how to fraudulently extend the limits on their credit cards so that he could get the money, either.
The exchanges allow HFT to exist.
lol Vote Hillary, because all those highly, um, "unseemly" things probably aren't actually illegal anyway. Plus you'll all get to buy the jobs of your dreams without all those "unseemly" and time consuming knowledgy parts.I guess you're right if you didn't want Donald Trump around nuclear policy we probably shouldn't want this guy. :thumbsup:
Unfortunately for conservatives, while this "scandal" is unseemly there doesn't appear to be anything illegal about it.

You guys have already imagined her killing folks, aiding Americas enemy's and of course Bengahzi! Why should this make any impact?
While I could be wrong it's probably going to end with this:
The above is of course my personal opinion.

Hillary - she's ready to believe what you're ready to pay her to believe.
Be honest, dude. There is absolutely nothing Hillary could do that would keep you from voting for her.Sorry bud. A possible pay for play on a 30 person advisory board where she has broad leeway to select candidates doesn't somehow make Trump a viable candidate for me.
While it's normally a choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche, thanks to the GOP this year the turd sandwich is doing his best Hitler impression. Hillary would have had to actually do the illegal things the right pretends she did before I wouldn't vote for her.
Be honest, dude. There is absolutely nothing Hillary could do that would keep you from voting for her.
Same here in Tennessee. Although since I refuse to vote for either of these people, my vote wouldn't matter anywhere.Absolutely nothing? No there's things she could hypothetically do or have done that would keep me from voting for her.
Realistically, with Trump as her opponent, there's probably nothing to keep me from voting for her. But hey don't worry, I'm in Texas my vote won't matter either way.
