Im'a go all retro with the piece-by-piece:
That really doesn't seem all that accurate, Easy. I mean, you are aware that the head of the FBI, who was heading the investigation into Clinton's private email server, said that if she had been anybody else, she ought to suffer punitive actions. The legal precedent set for her actions would be charges of criminal negligence and a complete loss of security clearance.
Well, no. He said that there was no precedent for anyone successfully pursuing criminal charges against anybody, ever, with as little evidence as they'd been able to find against her, for any of the applicable charges. Then he added that people who did similar things in similar circumstances did "often" get formally reprimanded by their superiors (without ever being convicted of anything).
Despite her defense being that she was too incompetent to know what she was doing, she made false exculpatory statements that, as legal precedent would show, is evidence that she knew exactly what she was doing.
Plus, he said that there was no evidence at all of criminal intent, and that the inappropriately processed emails - including those that she'd only received, as well as those that she'd actually sent - together comprised about 00.1% of the total. Doing things by the book 99.9% of the time doesn't sound all that unreasonable to me. That's literally multiple orders of magnitude more by-the-book than Donald Trump.

Sure, there's always the "governmenting is serious business, (unlike rich people-ing), so we expect you to take it more seriously" point, but let's be real. That's a good point, really. Yeah, that's how it should be. We really should hold politicians to that kind of standard.

...but you're not gonna hold fuckin' Donald Trump to anywhere near that kind of standard. You were never going to. Not even close.
Not to mention she withheld evidence requested by subpoena and then attempted to destroy evidence by deleting her emails with a program called BleachBit, and using a hammer to smash several devices.
Hadn't heard. Though, the aforementioned FBI head did say that there was every reason to believe that there was no intention to withhold evidence, and that her legal team really did make a good-faith effort to provide all the documents called for.
I don't know much about Trump's case. What felony was it that he convicted of again?
Was there a felony? Hadn't heard, wasn't aware that either candidate had been convicted of a felony. But, since you bring it up, Im'a guess... possession? Tax evasion? Statutory rape?
As for the flipflopping thing, is that one of your main measures of integrity?
On the contrary. If anything, I consider that to be a useful primary indicator for the lack of such.

But that's not necessarily him liking every post then if he had to go outside of the forum's rules to make it happen.

Someone who would break the rules rather than use loopholes to get what they want? Shit, everything sounds like the election to me now.

I would assume that most people like the things they post without the need to indicate it with a press of a like button, which is usually on other sites derided for being incredibly narcissistic. So I'd say it's possible for TC to like everything in this thread. Unless TC hates himself, which would be proven by him going ahead and liking this post.

Joke's on you, I liked your post and I definitely hate myself.

Shit.

Though if we're really gonna try to apply logic to this situation, you can metaphorically like any post, but it isn't until you hit the like button that there's "physical" proof of it. TC doesn't have the capability of doing that to his own posts, so even if there is an implied, metaphorical liking of his own posts, it's not an official one. He's still outta luck on that front, in my eyes.

Also, this is my favorite non discussion of the night.

But it's not his choice not to like his posts, he could sit there in his big comfy chair sipping a peach fresca going "You know what that was a damn fine post if I do say so myself" and we wouldn't know because of this oppressive non-liking your own post forum. Also he never claimed he was going to like every post in a physical way, he didn't specify and since he hasn't bothered to even start liking every post perhaps that was his master plan.

TC doesn't have master plans though, I think he literally stumbles through life and somehow manages to do it better than at least me. I was gonna say most of us, but that's not my place to say, joking or otherwise.

TC is the human equivalent of the "too confusing, dick caught in ceiling fan" meme. And I say that with love, lol.
