> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > How the holy fuck is a dick pic going to compromise national security? According to NBC News, Don the Con said: [QUOTE=Donald J. Trump via NBC News] It didn’t take GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump long to weigh in on the split. “Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him,” Trump said in a statement. He added: “I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. … It’s just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this.” [/QUOTE] “…close proximity to…” Perhaps Don the Con was concerned that classified info would be captured in the background of Weiner’s junk pics? Con Don’s brain works in mysterious ways. ETA: Apparently Con Don now sees himself as the Love Doctor, giving romantic advice to members of the Clinton campaign. “…She [Abedin] will be far better off without him.” What an ass. ---

> [@Crybaby\_Boobie](#): > > John Oliver picked the wrong time to go on vacation. Well, fortunately for John Oliver, and late night talk show/infohumorists in general, no sooner does one political scandal blow over than yet another moron in the public space kicks off a new one. There never seems to be a dearth of material, and in fact, things just seem to be getting more outrageous. > [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > How the holy fuck is a dick pic going to compromise national security? It might create an international incident: President Clinton: “Here is satellite imagery of missile test sites in North Korea!” National Security Advisor Sullivan: “Those are the pictures?” Clinton: “Yep…and we’re going to nail Kim Jong-un this time!” Sullivan: “Those are balls.” Clinton: “Are you sure?” Narrator: Sullivan was right. Andrew Weiner had inadvertantly texted a picture of his genitals to the National Reconnaissance Office. Sullivan: “Yep, this close they always look like satellite photos. Nope, those are balls.” Narrator: Soon, NRO analysts confirmed this… (With apologies to [Michael Hurwitz and Ron Howard](https://youtu.be/k2gly0HUKas).) Stranger ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Oops, he did it again! > > Only this time his wife has had it. Good for her! I wouldn’t be so sure. After enduring his behavior and its concomitant embarrassments for years Huma still seems unwilling to pull the divorce trigger. As Tara McKelvey, the BBC News White House reporter said in the article linked to in **PastTense’s** post above: > [@](#): > > Why did it take so long? That’s what everybody wants to know. Abedin is now officially separated from her husband, ending ( **at least temporarily** ) a marriage that has been scrutinised in public for years. [bolding mine] Five’ll get you ten that they’ll reunite sometime after the election. Either fairly soon in the event Clinton loses, or they’ll stay separated while continuing to ‘work’ on their marriage during Clinton’s time in office (assuming speculation is correct and Huma will be Chief of Staff or otherwise play an important part in Clinton’s administration) and will reunite afterward. Weiner really seems to have a hold on her (pretty difficult to type that with a straight face), which is mystifying to me because Huma is an intelligent and not unattractive woman who could certainly do better. No accounting for lust I guess. ---

No accounting for lust I guess. Watching the documentary I got the feeling Huma was ready to bolt as soon as the second scandal hit, but she stood by him for political reasons. I suspect they’ve been separated longer than we know. No way will they reunite. ---
