Are you saying that their best options is to do as they’re told?
So far, mostly just a lot of inter-office bickering, with the highlights being DWS sounding awkward about Sanders’ progress but mostly just upset about what people are saying about herself. The most damaging thing I saw, by far, was the one email (not from DWS) that suggested that Sanders’ possible atheism was more potentially damaging than his Jewish heritage, which was never acted upon.
Seems to me that it was more a big warning shot to say “we can do this, we can uncover all sorts of dumb minutiae, so we can dig really deep if we want to.” Scare tactics.

I think you have a bit more faith in the system than I have left. I find myself wondering if people so brazenly arrogant to say these things in traceable emails wouldn’t actually, well, act on it. Especially when the woman in charge of managing the “objective” process gets rewarded with a nice, cushy appointment by the very campaign that benefitted from her work less than 48 hours after these emails came to light. But I freely acknowledge, I’m mad as hell right now and not inclined to be kind to the DNC at this moment in time.

Yeah that is curious. Both a clear sign of panic about the PR hit against Hillary & the DNC turning against him. And an accidental reminder of his relationship with Russia and policy short comings. That Donald sure is a genius.

from that article:
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
Thanks. Editor. Now I better understand the context of Trump’s remarks.

I mean, I get it – this follows Trump’s usual pattern of saying something outrageous every time the spotlight dims on him for a moment, using the PT Barnum theory of staying in the headlines no matter what. But I kinda feel like blatant treason isn’t the best press.
HuffPo tacks that on to every single story about Trump

Doing damage control, Trump is now saying that he “Doesn’t know who Putin is”.
Where’s my popcorn?

He’s also saying Putin is racist. Me thinks certain things are sticking.
The funny thing is he’s really just underlining the attack on him. Reinforcing it.
This is one of only a handful of times where I can remember this crap getting turned around on him like that. Here to for the media has been happy to let him set the tone of the conversation. Now he’s on (panicked) defense.

Ask Sony, or any other large enterprise with email. I’m shocked what people will talk about in public at their cubicles let alone the semi-private space of email.

But of course what you talk about in public at your cubicle generally won’t later be leaked to the entire world. Talking about certain things is pretty inappropriate or uncouth. Emailing about the same things is fantastically stupid.

Too true. Or walking through a store on their cell phones-- it’s incredible sometimes.

I know that, you know that; but these are people willing to talk about this at all let alone keeping record of it. I bet they think their 8-10 digit passphrases are great too because they put a period between the words.

So: “The racist, sexist, censorious, antidemocratic oligarch likes me better than the black man who is currently the President or the woman running against me, and we want to have a good relationship with that guy, so the US should elect me President.”
I can’t even.

I like that Trump even questioned whether a reporter might not know what the “N” word is. “You know what the ‘N’ word is, right?”

Sorry, I can’t really remember the conversations any more. But I’ve definitely heard one-sided conversations full of profanity, or colleague A bad mouthing colleague B to colleague C, or family dramas to rival any soap opera.

It’s some wacky ass logic he’s getting into here.
That’s not even mentioning the fact that he’s supposedly signed agreements to build a Trump Tower in Moscow and received lavish personal gifts from Putin. But he doesn’t know who Putin is and his spokespeople claim he has ‘no business dealings with Russia’.

No, I’m saying that hitting yourself in your own head with a 2x4 punishes you more than it does them, even if the noise and the blood disturbs them a little.
