WASHINGTON — Hundreds of U.S. government employees — including some with sensitive jobs in the White House, Congress and law enforcement agencies — used Internet connections in their federal offices to access and pay membership fees to the cheating website Ashley Madison, The Associated Press has learned.

The AP traced many of the accounts exposed by hackers back to federal workers. They included at least two assistant U.S. attorneys; an information technology administrator in the Executive Office of the President; a division chief, an investigator and a trial attorney in the Justice Department; a government hacker at the Homeland Security Department and another DHS employee who indicated he worked on a U.S. counterterrorism response team.

I’m not the guy running to the defense of these vermin. And if that makes me an ass in they eyes of other vermin, I’m good with it.

Norm, didn’t you get the memo? Conservatism is now what you want it to be. It’s the mood ring of thought and action. Get with the program, son.

Oh I got the memo. It reads “Be a liberal and you can poop skittles too!”.

The thing is TADS, I don’t actually like Skittles. If people want to defend this crap, far be it from me to let them do so unopposed. Call it a character fault of mine. I don’t deal with ‘idiot’ well. ;)

Interesting.

You did give me an idea for a tagline, though!

Whose running to the defense of vermin? You’re the one who is celebrating a crime and sin.

Jesus showed grace to those committing adultery. He didn’t celebrate the public stoning of the woman or the destruction of peoples families.

But you’re good with it, so that makes it ok, right?

Folks shouldn’t cheat but I’m more mad that these “geniuses” living on my tax money go to a cheating site and use the email “my.real.name@whereiwork.com

Here is the list of all the Obama administration yahoos, along with their salaries.

EXCEL FILE (should be able to be read on open source spreadsheets or uploaded to google sheets as well)

If anyone has downloaded the TOR dump, see if any name matches, ensure it is the SAME individual (DON'T do a "Tea Party member James Holmes" bit!!) and report back.

I opened the excel file, so here’s some names:

Susan Rice
John Podesta

Those were the biggies, but there are others there. It’s almost easier to ask, “Who the f*** wasn’t having an affair in the Obama White House?”

I dunno. I am capable of being guilty, in that.

It's one of the things I can be grateful for.

That one bakery bit the dust though.

Now reorganized. Headquarters in Dallas, instead of KC.

I'd like to have one more snoball before I die. I mean, have one maybe, then die decades later, if you know what I mean...

I wonder if anyone even makes them? Red coconut frosting? Those things were weird.

I can live without 'twinkies'. Those things lost what charm they had, a long time ago. The Hostess cupcakes, crocodiles and Ding-Dongs were too much sugar coated sugar bomb, too.

But one of the above made its way into a hit comedy song. Mr. Natural I think it was, and just the other day I was thinking about the twinkie defense, using that as part of joking around (about food).

AA's have their drunkolog confessions.

Others have their own, differing confessions.

But as much as I like steak & potatoes, I think I know better than to try to take on the challenge in Amarillo. A man has got to know his limitations.

But if all it costs to try it was $25 instead of $72, and I got to keep the leftovers, maybe (if I lived nearby to Amarillo) I'd try to go for it a few times a year (and ask for extra rolls, if the bread was any good).

Judging others is a sin.

What? BS.

Wow you are quick to judge. Judging others is a sin.

So despite what you think, you are not without sin


The passage says “Judge not lest you be judged BY THE SAME MEASURE!”

It’s a warning against hypocrisy.

We judge others all the time. For example, there is jury duty, and any good parent will judge the company their kids keep.

Yep, if you want to paraphrase that section of the Bible (best to read whole and take content) it would read -—> Judge not, ye hypocrite...

Who is not to judge, a person doing the same thing but hiding it. The passage then goes on to explain to a hypocrite how to get right to start judging rightly again.

He who is spiritual judges ALL things ... for we have the mind of Christ. 1st Corinthians 2:15-16

Throw some stones..

There is a season for everything... Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to kill and a time to heal

Perhaps you can also quote the part about chastity before marriage, adultry, not leading innocents astray?

Or do you only quote the bible to support your infantile teenage fantasies of illicit sex?

Not sure what exactly you are bloviating about here. But you seem to be contradicting your own misinterpretation of the Bible. You say “judge not” yet just make crap up out of thin air that has nothing to do with anything (especially reality). Perhaps it was an attempt at “When did you stop beating your wife”?

That said, I don’t have a problem with any section of the Bible. I had a problem with you taking something out of context (judge not mantra). Any part of the Bible that deals with any subject (be it adultery or premarital sex) is worth taking to heart.
