Discussion: Ivanka Defends Her Emails, Says There's 'No Equivalency' With Clinton Scandal

Nope, also missing icons.

Wendy Murdoch, ex-wife of Rupert and girlfriend of Vladimir (at the time).

As Penny would say: O sweetie.

That’s a smokescreen comment. It makes the conversation about something Clinton did, legally, and something she claims she did not do and takes the conversation away from using a private device to communicate officially which they both did. “deletions” and “archiving” are obfuscations. If you and I both robbed banks last month the fact that I used a shotgun and you used a 9mm isn’t relevant. But you could spin the conversation to one of “I’ve never owned a shotgun” and that’s what Ivanak’s doing. After being coached to do so…

“All of my emails are stored and preserved. There were no deletions. There is no attempt to hide."

That’s who it was!! Thank you!!

I think she thinks she’s a clever girl. The emails are “stored” where? On a government server? because that’s where they must be stored not a private phone. And how do you “store” a phone call? She’s full of shit.

I started seeing the squares on Chrome last weekend. I switched to Firefox (had to re-install, so it’s a new version) and still saw only little squares. Switched to Edge and saw all the proper icons. So I think it’s browser-dependent.

But I hate Edge so I’m using Chrome and making guesses about which icons are which. Surely they’ll fix this soon … ?

tena · November 28, 2018, 4:08pm

It’s been like this since the weekend. I’m on Firefox. Tried Safari and it was worse for me. I just have been using the mouse to find the functions.

midnight_rambler · November 28, 2018, 4:18pm

So we can use a FOIA request to get all the emails from that account, not just the ones you claim are government-related, right?

lizzymom · November 28, 2018, 4:20pm

Yeah, I am using Chrome too.

Just for fun, I checked in on Internet Explorer (this is a work laptop, so they have loaded several browsers). The icons are okay with IE.

So, it’s gotta be browser-related. Now, what I found interesting is @coimmigrant reported not having icons on a Mac (presumably Safari as browser? – but maybe not?) while I have no problems on my Apple mobile devices. ETA: I see @tena had Safari problems, but again, Safari on my mobile devices shows icons.

At any rate, it’s definitely some compatibility issue.

midnight_rambler · November 28, 2018, 4:23pm

If you open Tools>Web Developer>Web Console in Firefox you can see it says “Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://dr35ey0x3otoq.cloudfront.net/assets/discourse/fontawesome-webfont-499d35fc70e20cad9e75589ab05377c3.woff?https://forums.talkingpointsmemo.com&2&v=4.4.0. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).” Most remote requests are blocked (to avoid malware), with exceptions for things like fonts and icons. There’s some security setting wrong somewhere that’s causing them not to load. Since it seems to have started at the same time on multiple browsers and OSes, it’s presumably on their end.

clemmers · November 28, 2018, 4:23pm

When I first encountered the problem, I looked at the source code on one of the objects and saw errors flagged in the code. I’m thinking the issue should not be hard to pinpoint, but often there are difficulties making an update compatible with all browsers.

So some of us will just have to wait.

ETA: seems to be a font recognition problem. No access to the appropriate font.

lizzymom · November 28, 2018, 4:27pm

Yeah, I can live with it until they get it fixed.

zillacop · November 28, 2018, 4:28pm

I did wonder if they did some upgrade and it hasn’t worked for all platforms. I’m on a Mac with a newer version of Safari and so far haven’t had the annoying problem lots of other have. I’m assuming TPM has been contacted.

lizzymom · November 28, 2018, 4:30pm

So, some combination of OS and browser.

Somebody somewhere thought, oh, yeah, just one little tweak.

Been there, done that, suffered the consequences…

clemmers · November 28, 2018, 4:31pm

Yep. I’m in complete sympathy with the coders sweating it out right now.

coimmigrant · November 28, 2018, 4:33pm

The tech world variation on the law of unintended consequences. Takes me back to my days of programming in Fortran IV on punch cards.

stradivarius50t3 · November 28, 2018, 4:33pm

I have icons at home on my MacBook (OSX Mojave, Chrome browser). I don’t have icons in the office (Lenovo, Windows 10, Chrome browser).

I remember those days, and the completely cryptic FORTRAN run-time error messages …

socalista · November 28, 2018, 4:38pm

I understand your concern but I don’t think you understand mine. Failing to address the rightwing claim that Clinton was deleting emails that may potentially have had things of interest in them (and it’s hard to prove the negative here) is allowing that RW spin to go unchallenged. This is not a case of either-or, as you seem to think, but of both-and.
