This kind of thinking frustrates me. Hypothetically speaking from here on out; I and you mean employer and employee. If I as an employer set the conditions of your employment to be (a), (b) and © and in exchange for you meeting (a), (b) and ©, I agree to pay you a tidy sum of money. If you don't like my (a), (b) and © conditions, don't sign the contract. I am investing in an athletes body and his skill which I personally think are diminished when you engage in activities that put you in compromising positions, impair your judgement, make you slug your girlfriend, crash your car late at night, accidentally shoot yourself, etc My investment in you is enormous and I want to maintain my investment in top working condition. That is my right and if you don't like those terms, sign with some else that supports your chosen lifestyle. Some of today's athletes behave like spoiled brats. It is not up to us to impose our personal beliefs on the do's and don'ts of someone else's business model. There is nothing wrong with the NFL mandating that their employees remain drug free. Drugs and alcohol put their employees in bad and compromising positions. Regardless about how you personally feel about drugs, alcohol, sky diving, riding motorcycles, or smoking, if it is a term of your employment, you sign a contract acknowledging such, and you are well compensated as a result, don't do the things you shouldn't. Period. Why is this so bleeping hard for this generation to comprehend and follow? Dareus' selfish behavior manifested by his insistence on violating the terms of his contract, multiple times now, cost the Bills a win or two in this season already. That behavior also has impacted his teammates, his coaches, his owners, his league and the fans of the game. I personally wish they would not pay him for that behavior. It apparently only has the lasting effect of giving him a paid vacation.

I was watching Tim Kaine walk back his original support for the TPP this weekend. This is how a career politician walks back a point. Paraphrasing from memory, not to be taken literally: Moderator: So you were a supporter before you joined the ticket. Was flip-flopping your position a prerequisite for being selected as VP? Kaine: No it wasn't. I supporting giving Obama extra latitude in negotiating this agreement. When it came out, there were some things in there that I did not fully support. Moderator: So do you support TPP now? Kaine: No since this is an up/down, yes/no vote, I can't support it as written without tweaks. But the rules are that no tweaks will be allowed. So my question is this Mr VP, why on Earth would you give him extra latitude to negotiate something if you knew you were going to need to accept what he did as is? My answer: Because you have to be in line with the head of the ticket. I would so vote for someone who actually looked in the camera and didn't lie to my face. I can completely accept that my boss wants it, I want this job, so I want it. If I wasn't running for VP, I would support my President and his intentions on this. Why is that so hard for these people to do?

I for one, thought they went too far last night. The repeated pummeling of a headless stump and the whole Glenn scene could have been done with less of the gore. That episode was simply disturbing.

It's coming. Someone put a flash drive into a SIPR machine and moved the data to a NIPR machine. They did it repeatedly in violation of the law. All the FBI has ruled on so far is the legality of the server. The next and REAL shoe to drop is why the lackeys working supposedly for Clinton's benefits/needs moved the information and obfuscated its origin by removing classification markings. I work with these systems. I know the rules and I know the consequences. The only two questions left to be learned are who moved the data and did they do it voluntarily or did they do it based on her request. These rulings are coming and they will not carry a slap on the wrist the server did. And with that said, one more time, especially for all you Clinton apologists out there, I am going to rest. Let the chips fall where they may. Mark this post and when the real rulings come down, check back here and see what I wrote. There are people in real hot water over this, it's just not Saint Hillary, because the system is protecting her.

I think she is going to run away with it.

You are so democratically blind

But they are not running for President. I have said it repeatedly on here and the Democrats just want to put it aside as irrelevant. She was judged minimally by the FBI to be extremely careless with classified information. If that is in your FBI file, you CAN'T get a security clearance. She is being protected by the system. It's not right. She should be the first President that SHOULD NOT have a security clearance. Think about how much we are bending the system to accommodate her transgressions.

She should be in jail.
-
A vote for either of them is indefensible. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/22/clinton-lectured-state-dept-staff-on-cybersecurity-in-2010-video.html She should be in jail. He should be there too.
