#17. "What does 'fubar' mean?"

In a December 2010 email chain, Clinton showed her ignorance of the meaning of the term “FUBAR” in another heavily redacted series of exchanges.

The acronym, which stands for f----d up beyond all recognition, “is unprintable on civil email,” Mills responded back.

Clinton had no follow-ups in 2012 after Sullivan said a situation in Egypt “remains FUBAR.”

Dear Mrs Clinton,

FUBAR is a blue dress. Any more vague understandings on your part?

Yours Truly, Jake Sullivan

Isn’t a pic of H->! included in the dictionary entry of FUBAR?

No ignorance. Hillary WANTED Egypt FUBAR just like Libya FUBAR.

means ur email must be back! R u getting...

This is the best and brightest. These people write like teenage girls.

I think a lot of the "anger" from the Republican party is not that Republicans don't fight, it's that they don't fight against people that are clearly idiots.

The Democrats are organized, aggressive, and motivated, but in a lot of ways, they are complete fools.

FUBAR, at least as far as I remember, was a military term going back to WW II. If you ask any Private after bootcamp, he’ll give you the basic description in ten seconds.

FUBAR accelerates Cloward-Piven and advances Alinskyite power substitution in the vacuum created by the chaos.

This is how utter incompetent yet power mad willful people can soar into high position, with very little higher brain power. All one needs is the steady application of your own idiocy to really f things up to FUBAR stage.

There's evidence that the printed documents Hillary provided were scanned and put through optical character recognition.

Here's one:
"along, of course, with certain adjustments arid amendments"

The word "and" was misrecognized as "arid".

And another:
"Everything is s000 hard and not nearly as gratifying as planting your garden."

The "o"s are mis-recognizeds as zeroes, "0".

I wonder if the FBI has the electronic originals from the server and can run comparisons with the scanned printouts. Might be some interesting omissions.

My dad served in WWII.

He acquainted me with:
SNAFU - situation normal, all fouled up
SUSFU - situation unchanged, still fouled up
TARFU - things are really fouled up
FUBAR - fouled up beyond all recognition

There are WWII animated training films featuring Private Snafu, who, of course, illustrates every way of messing things up.

She’s the type of ‘puter ‘tard who will let autocorrect change ‘caps lock’ into cock slap, and send it.
I expect a lot of time has been spent hiding her e-incompetency.

Hillary’s entire life has been one big FUBAR and she doesn’t know what it means!?

Isn’t it ironic?

Evil version of the pointy-haired boss from ‘Dilbert’.

“The pointy-haired boss is Dilbert’s boss in the Dilbert comic strip. He is notable for his micromanagement, gross incompetence and obliviousness to his surroundings, yet somehow retains power in the workplace.”

If the documents were scanned before they were ever emailed to/from Hillary, then there certainly are other copies in image format in whole or in part in the free storage space of desktop workstations or other devices used to do the scans.

So Hillary could not type Fubar into Google ? She asked the sender what it meant ? She must be drunk near all of the time.

I’ve known real-life versions of EVERY Dilbert character, except maybe the dog.

Most accurate comic strip ever!
