The problem with constantly lying

is that you can't keep your stories straight.  Come on, Secretary Clinton.  Your excuses regarding your email are pathetic.

Seriously - you didn't want to carry multiple devices around with you.  Well, there are several problems with that.  First of all, a month or so ago, you admitted to carrying multiple devices while you were Secretary of State, so there goes the convenience excuse.  Second, it is possible to have more than one email account loaded to a single smart phone.  I don't have the money (taxpayer money was it as the server was set up for your husband Former President Clinton and therefore was likely paid by we the people?) for IT personnel, and yet I managed to load more than a single email account to my smartphone (and I am sure my smartphone doesn't have all the bells and whistles yours have had).  Why were you incapable of putting both the State Department official email and your private email on the same device?

You claim you removed personal emails from what you gave the State Department, such as those from your husband.  Your husband said last month that he has only sent 2 emails in his life - and they weren't to you.  Seriously, if you are going to involve others in your lie, at least get them to play along, or check what they said last month.

Why, given this propensity to lie, should we trust you and your minions to sort through your emails and determine what is public and what is private?  That alone is reason enough to question what you have turned over.  Add that to the fact that we the American taxpayer may have paid for that server you claim is private, makes all the emails public in my opinion (not that I care to hear about what yoga moves you can or cannot do).  If you didn't pay for the server it's not yours.

We deserve so much better than this.

Seriously, how stupid does he think we are?

Yes, I know, it;s been a long time since I have blogged here.  I have been trying to reduce my blood pressure, but the stupidity of our government and the people who supposedly govern us permeates every aspect of our lives, so it is impossible to ignore.

First we had to hear about how Jonathan Gruber thought the American populace was so stupid.  How's that going for you, Jon, being fired from so many appointed positions you once held?  How many taped speeches of yours have you recanted now?  Your credibility is shot - were you lying when you spoke originally on tape, or are you lying now when you say you misspoke?  Noneof us can tell.

Now we have the POTUS indicating he only knew that Hillary was using private email when the rest of us learned it on the news.  Come on Mr. President.  Do you really think we will believe you didn't have any email communication with Hillary?  Really?  And we are supposed to believe that since the addressee read Hillary Clinton, you (and none of your staff) didn't check the email address to ensure the correspondence really was from her and not someone trying to spoof her address?  Either POTUS thinks we, the American people, are really dumb (we know the media is since no one seems to question this statement of his), or he has no concept of "national security" never mind email security.  Of course, he won't divulge exactly how smart he himself is because he never has released his college and grad school transcripts.  Just what exactly is there to hide?  Is it possible his grades were worse than GWB's?!

Sad all around.  Sadder still that a potential candidate for president used unsecured private email to discuss matters of state and then failed to properly archive the information and now is directing her minions regarding what is to be released to the National Archives and what is not to be released.  Simple solution here - private email for private messages - state department email for public messages.  Since you chose to use your private email for state correspondence, everything gets turned over to the National Archives for it to determine what is public material and what is private.  You made the choice - now live with the consequence.
