It seems like bad faith to be rabid about Clinton emails and silent about the use (and overwhelmingly sloppy use at that) of signal. Do you care about following security procedures or not?

It's also weird to see you seem to take so much pleasure in lashing out - how can you feel vindication thinking your opponents should have done something about emails but not have that same feeling now? How do you hold both views (and with such vitriol) at the same time?

The hypocrisy is why folks find it hard to take these complaints at face value since we show time and time again that they appear more "my team should win the game" than anything consistent and built on principles.

I'm struggling to not write more details here but generally I think the whataboutism and completely ignoring degree is absurd. I remember when the big complaints about Obama were wearing the wrong color suit, saluting with a coffee cup, and allowing a military strike on a us citizen actively working with Al queda. If you want to be convincing (you may not want this- if you just want to feel self righteous and vengeful then carry on) then I think a better path would be explaining why this current situation is a good thing (or at least the same level of bad as the things you hate).

I care. Therefore she should have been jailed, and the world comes back to its correct order. Once she is, jail Trump all you want.

But it doesn’t work like that and you know it. It’s always “just do it to the opposite party” and close your eyes on your own.

After you jail Hillary:

- Repel Title IX. It’s an incorrect regulation.

- Revert the 2020 vote,

- Publish the stats about women in STEM and black criminality,

Then all is transparent and we can have a working democracy again. What I’m saying is: You didn’t do it, and now you have a dysfunctional democracy. But you have to suffer it through to understand the evil of manipulating the country, so that you’ll want to do it right the next time.

Transparency is not just for the others.
