      Global warming, the least of my worries. in fact I do not think its happening. There is one day a year, I always watch, and that day the weather is always the same since 1979. My little study.

      November 8th I will be voting for the person not under FBI investigation.

        00000000000000000000000000001348Why do American presidential candidates spend their time running each other down instead of explaining their mandates? Wee Tam, this planet has been warming up and cooling down for 5 billion years. What we are going through is just another phase in the life of the planet.

          So will Donald Trump now issue a public apology to Hillary Clinton now that the FBI have dropped all investigations and cleared her ?

          I doubt it very much, he isn't man enough for an apology.

          It makes me wonder if the " New pertinent " information somehow has something to do with him and his dirty dealings.

          Surely all voting should have been suspended whilst this investigation was ongoing. I wonder how many people voted against her due to this investigation and would now like to change their vote and are unable to do so ?

                He came to Open Day this year (for the first time) and our entertainer at that time announced a thank you to him for coming. :rasp: (He bothered to turn up so it was worth a thank you. :noidea:)

                    Easily solved with enough person power. :blue thumb: 200 people would need to get through 50 an hour (assuming an eight hour day). I would guess that because of the situation and the bad publicity that the FBI received over the timing, that they put a lot more people on it. After all, they have about 40,000 employees. :noidea:

                    I and Mrs Shiney do that with no trouble. We get about 150 proper emails a day and about 100 spam (at our server, that I check each day).

                      is she really cleared ?? or did the FBI guy get threatened. There is still lots that are in question.
                      There is the unknown that can still surface.
                      I for one do not trust her. Why does a supposed experienced vetted person use a non secure server for confidential information? and why can she get away with it.?? Tomorrow the fate of USA is in play, so far so near the numbers, 60% still to vote. Me included to get in line.

                        I have no idea of the truth, or otherwise, of all the allegations about Clinton but if we were into conspiracy theories this is a real doozy of an opportunity for one (or more). :heehee:

                        The Trump camp were crowing when Clinton was first being investigated for her emails and some Clinton supporters were claiming foul!

                        Then she was cleared of anything illegal (nothing secret or of importance found in the emails) but told her actions were badly misjudged.

                        So Clinton was crowing about the result and this time Trump was claiming foul.

                        Then, with just over a week to go to the vote, the FBI found loads of emails on her assistant's computer whilst investigating the assistant's husband for sexual offences.

                        The Clinton camp claimed foul again saying the FBI deliberately left it to the last minute before announcing it. Especially as they had been told about the emails before then.

                        So Clinton claiming foul and Trump was crowing again.

                        Now the FBI have reviewed the emails and they were mainly copies of the emails that they had already investigated and the rest were personal.

                        Trump claiming foul and Clinton crowing again!

                        It certainly looks as though this will keep the conspiracy theorists happy for quite a while.

                        Then, of course, we have the sexual allegations against Trump :doh:and there are still more coming forward this week. Even his own comments seem to make it appear as though he sees females as fair game :dunno:

                        From all these declared results and situations it has shown that the candidates for office are eligible for office but are a very poor choice.

                        From this side of the pond it gives us a view of top U.S. politicians making our bunch of useless ones look good! :wallbanging:

                          so here it is simply put, for me anyway. I work now in a environment of security, and HIPPA protection for the records. I have a cell phone, that is security protected by my company. My lab top is security protected by my company. If I have any issue with working on them, I call my IT department and the geeks are right on it to fix the issue. I do not just move to a non secure email, or computer or cell phone. And I am not the secretary of state. I know better.
