That should say “global” not...

They don’t exactly run these mission critical operations off of a dollar store surge protector, pal. We know how lightening is around here - the Atlanta MSA is second only to Florida in terms of thunderstorm activity.

Surge protectors are worthless, because surges rarely damage anything. It’s the spikes - where power drops out and comes back up - that kills electronics.

By “freak show of thunderstorms”, you mean “a typical August monsoon”, right?

Just to clear this up: Iran is claiming it was the price to free the hostages.

FUCKING GENIUS!

You’re a dumb shit. This is cash. This is cash that is off the books. This is cash that can be handed out, portaged over mountain ranges and used to facilitate a black market economy in arms, weapons, jihadists and extremist literature. Also, for a nation with a GDP of $22bn, $400m is not a rounding error. It’s 2% of…

“Overcooks a runway”? It’s “overshoot” the runway.

Yeah, but he’s not the first talent to leave, and won’t be the last (though, they didn’t have much to begin with, and there isn’t much left).

Wait, wait, what? She’s not? Hillary Clinton is absolutely in favor of a backdoor to encryption, but only for Government. She isn’t at all concerned about your right to privacy where the Government is concerned.

Wait, wait, wait... you’re actually talking about “cyber security policy” for a woman who set up a chintsy Windows Server 2003 email server, then disabled the security features out of convenience, then proceeded to email State Secrets in the clear to people who were using mailchimp accounts... and you expect me to…

Oh please, that frigid bitch barely opens the front door. Why do you think Chelsea is an only child? Why do you think bill has to hit it and quit it with so many interns?

Yes, I’m going to commit career suicide and jump on board a sinking ship of fools captained by a total dick. That’s going to happen.

I don’t even have cable. I get my news primarily from foreign sources these days - NHK and France24 chief among them.

No doubt there was spite for Carter, and a desire to undermine him. The Iranians aren’t like the rest of the Islamic world - they’ve been playing this game a long time. But I think a lot of people lack a historical perspective. Reagan talked serious trash during the decade prior to the 1980 election, and even after he…

I don’t know where you get people pull this crap from - The Export-Import Bank of the United States facilitates over $112bn in transactions for Iran annually, from which we collect nearly $112mn in fees.

Oh, wait... we’re worried about the Constitution all of the sudden? Where the fuck have you been the last 8 years?

You should probably learn how things work before you comment. Commercial banks are embargoed. That’s not the only way to get the money there. The Federal Government actually owns not one, but two banks, both of which have never stopped conducting wire transfers with Iran.

It’s not odd at all. There’s nothing odd about it. It is a perfectly ordinary facilitation of criminal activity.
