The Burst

In March of 2000, everything started to change. On March 10, the combined values of stocks on the NASDAQ was at $6.71 trillion; the crash began March 11. By March 30, the NASDAQ was valued at $6.02 trillion. On April 6, 2000, it was $5.78 trillion. In less than a month, nearly a trillion dollars worth of stock value had completely evaporated. One JP Morgan analyst told TIME in April of 2000 that a lot of companies were losing between $10 and $30 million a quarter — a rate that is obviously unsustainable, and was going to end with a lot of dead sites and lost investments.

Companies started folding. (Pets.com was one.) Magazines, including TIME, started running stories advising investors on how to limit their exposure to the tech sector, sensing that people were going to start taking a beating if their portfolios were too tied to e-tailers and other companies that were dropping like flies.

During the 2000 Super Bowl, 17 dotcom companies had paid $44 million for ad spots, according to a Bloomberg article from the following year. At the 2001 Super Bowl, just one year after that bonanza, only three dotcom companies ran ads during the game.


Now, I know Bush wasn't in office at the time, but he was alive and he was breathing.

Coming soon...out of the mouth of a liberal near you.

 

Somewhere around here (maybe even this thread) I said weeks ago that I've got a problem with Carson believing the theory of evolution is the devil's work.

But then again, at least Ben Carson won't confuse his Christian heritage with his Muslim heritage.

I'll say the same thing about Carson that I've been saying about Trump: I can't imagine how they could possibly be worse than the idiot we have now.

 

We'll see how much sticks.

Hillary is only being protected now because Biden hasn't declared. If Biden declares, the gloves come off.

Meanwhile, the FBI has found another server farm through which Hillary's emails passed, and that server farm has been backed up. It now looks like the FBI will be able to recover the 60,000 "personal" emails that Hillary and her minions deleted.

Who thinks those emails were "personal?" Show of hands. Anyone? Anyone?

 

Why bother? That's what Hillary's super-pac is for. She already went dirty on him about a month ago. I posted that story from HuffPo, but here's the link again.

And it was reported that The Democrat-Hating Democrats Machine has been sniffing around certain public records sites, so they can start stockpiling ammo to smear Uncle Joe as soon as he declares.

SNL knew what they were doing with this part of the skit.

In case you haven't seen the latest news, Hillary does have something sticking to her, but it wasn't thrown by any Republicans. What she's got stuck to her is "the cloud". And she's the one that threw it.

Unbeknownst to Clinton, IT firm had emails stored on cloud; now in FBI’s hands

October 6, 2015

Former secretary of state hired Datto Inc. to provide a private cloud backup of her emails

Two firms are at odds over whether “cloud” storage was sought

State Department also asking again whether she turned over all of her business emails


By Greg Gordon and Anita Kumar

McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON
A Connecticut company, which backed up Hillary Clinton‘s emails at the request of a Colorado firm, apparently surprised her aides by storing the emails on a “cloud” storage system designed to optimize data recovery.

The firm, Datto Inc., said Wednesday that it turned over the contents of its storage to the FBI on Tuesday.
...
Datto, based in Norwalk, Conn., became the second data storage firm to become entangled in the inquiry into Clinton’s unusual email arrangement, which has sparked a furor that has dogged her campaign. In August, Clinton and Colorado-based Platte River Networks, which had managed her primary server since June 2013, agreed to surrender it for examination by the FBI.

Datto and Platte River seemed at odds, however, over how Clinton’s emails wound up on Datto’s cloud storage, which may have resulted from a misunderstanding.

Platte River spokesman Andy Boian said the firm bought a device from Datto that constantly snaps images of a server’s contents and connected it to the Clinton server at a New Jersey data storage facility. Platte River never asked Datto to beam the images to an off-site cloud storage node and never was billed for that service, he said. Company officials were bewildered when they learned of the cloud storage, he said.

“We said, ‘You have a cloud? You were told not to have a cloud.’ We never received an invoice for any cloud for the Clintons.’”
...
The source familiar with Datto’s account, however, said Platte River was billed for “private cloud” storage, which requires a cloud storage node. Because Platte River lacks one, the source said, the data bounced to Datto’s off-site cloud storage. The source said that senior Platte River officials may not have realized it, but company technicians “were managing the off-site storage throughout.”

Datto did not know it was backing up Clintons’ email server until mid August, the source said.
...
In laying out facts gathered by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which he chairs, Wisconsin Sen. Johnson offered the first public confirmation that Clinton or her representatives had arranged for a backup of her email server after she left office in early 2013.

His letter also cited internal emails recounting requests in late 2014 and early 2015 from Clinton representatives for Platte River Networks to direct Datto to reduce the amount of her emails it was backing up. These communications led a Platte River employee to air suspicions that “this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy (sic) shit,” according to an excerpt of an email cited by Johnson.

Boian said, however, that Platte River was asked to limit email retention to 30 days as soon as it was hired -- a directive that never changed.
...
Several weeks ago, Platte River employees discovered that her private server was syncing with an offsite Datto server, he said.

When Datto acknowledged that was the case, a Platte River employee replied in an email: “This is a problem.”

Despite Boian’s statement that Platte River set up a 30-day revolving retention policy for Clinton’s emails, Johnson’s letter noted that Platte River employees were directed to reduce the amount of email data being stored with each backup. Late this summer, Johnson wrote, a Platte River employee took note of this change and inquired whether the company could search its archives for an email from Clinton Executive Service Corp. directing such a reduction in October or November 2014 and then again around February, advising Platte River to save only emails sent during the most recent 30 days.

Those reductions would have occurred after the State Department requested that Clinton turn over her emails.
...
It was here that a Platte River employee voiced suspicions about a cover-up and sought to protect the company. “If we have it in writing that they told us to cut the backups,” the employee wrote, “and that we can go public with our statement saying we have had backups since day one, then we were told to trim to 30 days, it would make us look a WHOLE LOT better,” according to the email cited by Johnson.

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary! "Oh wat tangled World Wide Webs ye hath weaved, with a years-long practice and intent to deceive."

 

But she was not bound by law at the time she was in office to do anything. Her emails were not covered in the laws at that time, in 2014 the laws were changed and that is what people are looking at. At the time of her service the state department was just instituting their own program to save all emails, they started from the bottom working up. By the time they would have gotten to Hillary's accounts she was out of office.

 

Trump probably won't get elected, but damn - he's the best candidate on my books. Again, he gets my vote in the general election.

 

The e-mail controversy is another fake scandal invented by the Republican Hate Machine. Republicans have nothing to offer Americans who are not rich, but the illusion that they will get rich before they die, so it tries to distract them with the politics of personal destruction.

 

The legal noose around Hillary Clinton is getting tighter, there are over 400 emails, which have been made public, that were clearly "confidential, secret or top-secret'', which in fact is definitely not allowed under any circumstance, under any understanding of the law, for her to put classified material in a non-classified venue, which we now know she did over 400 times.

This was not a result of the conjured up partisan politics of the Republican Hate Machine, this is the result of incompetence, by Hillary.

 

You use to be interesting but you are really just a hate machine.....

If the e-mail deal is a fake why is a democratic administration FBI and Justice dept going after her.....

As to the deal about rich have you even bothered to read trumps tax plan.....

 

I haven't yet, do you have Trump's tax plan handy?

 

With an IQ of 141, and an all Ivy background, Hillary is hardly incompetent. She has been foolish at times. Because the Republican Hate Machine will exploit any excuse to hate her, she has to walk the straight and narrow path.

 

Leftist true believers and sycophants will accept Hillary's lies and repeat them numbly.

But the rest of us aren't buying her nonsense, and the FBI certainly is not.

My favorite Hillary Clinton lie is that she didn't send any emails "marked as classified." Clearly Bill Clinton taught the 141-IQ genius how to talk. She was the Secretary of State! Classified emails originated with her! It was HER JOB to mark them classified!

DL, you're just having fun mimicking lines from Kimiko and Stumbler, with all your "Republican Hate Machine" stuff. Heywood123 clearly believes all the bullshit he's been posting, but you're not as brainwashed, are you? You know damned well Hillary's dead on arrival. Bernie Sanders, the communist, is the best hope the Left's got. Unless Biden declares. And who is being floated as possible Biden running mates? Deval Patrick and Lizzie "Pow Wow" Warren. Communists.

 

He previewed it on 60 Minutes a week ago, and the next day he published big chunks of detail.

Clearly DL's out to lunch, because Trump is proposing that nearly 50% of Americans pay no federal income tax at all, and it is the bottom half.

In fact it's not too revolutionary, because nearly 50% already effectively pay zero. But Trump (unlike most politicians) knows how to read a balance sheet, so in fact it's a shrewd, smart idea. Since all the leeches at the bottom effectively are paying zero, Trump is just proposing to make it official. That eliminates a lot of paper work and red tape, bringing cost savings. (It would effectively abolish all the crap involved with the ridiculously misnamed "earned income tax credit.")

Trump's plan also proposes reducing capital repatriation taxes, which should help with the huge expatriation and capital flight problems.

Also he proposes reducing capital gains taxes and corporate income taxes. DL is probably against these, because he is a communist. But the capital gains reductions will be necessary if we are ever going to raise the base interest rate, and even if Trump reduces corporate income tax as much as he want to, we will still be one of the most expensive places in the industrialized world to do business.

Also he plans on cutting the death tax. Good idea. An entire industry has sprung up around death taxes and legacies, because the incentive to work loopholes through trusts is too high. Reducing the tax is a first step toward simplifying that whole branch of tax law.

My only real quibble with Trump's plan is that it just fiddles with the numbers. It doesn't do much to simplify the tax code. But there again, the guy is probably just being shrewd. Proposing measures he can actually do in the short term.

Some Clinton Emails Were Retroactively Classified

And Distant Lover please do not ever "like" any of my posts agai it detracts from what I am saying and aligns me with the likes of you.

 

Because the stupid bitch originated them and didn't mark them classified as she was supposed to have done. Hillary Clinton has fucked up left right and center.

 

So the whiney horsefaced hag wants to be a president. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

 

You might want to read the article. Based on your history you will not ever admit to being proven to being a liar that only believes what suits you.

 

Huh?

Yesterday I told M4MPetCock and Chris4Sylvia that I was wrong about my definition for "gamete". I'm wrong all the time. And when I am, I admit it.

As to your article, it is old. It was preemptive spin. It is even possible (though we'll never prove it) that Hillary's campaign team used that narrative for the talking points, because she spouted the "never sent a classified email" crap AFTERWARD, throughout the summer.

She was not some step-in-fetchit. She was the SECRETARY OF STATE! She created classified emails! If they were not marked classified, she was at fault for not marking them.

 

Not to mention a whine machine, a hypocrite machine, a repeat machine, a repeat machine, and a repeat machine. (Let's scrap him for parts.)
