And some would likely still have you believe that the FBI or Comey are trying to help her, even though this is yet another time he has sandbagged her in the most damaging way. The GOP must love him - the media must adore him, as this is what they need for Trump and to help the GOP keep the Senate. I don't think Trump will win, but it will tighten an already tightening race even further. 

 

For some reason this man who gets press gushing for predicting Trump will win is getting even more gushing for still predicting it.

So why the letter from Comey to the committee? And why the release of it. 3 FRICKING EMAILS from Anthony Weiners device which they only had because of an independent investigation. The emails were not from HRC or her server. So we have no idea why this is relevant if at all. Disgraceful on the part of Comey.

 

Frankly has the media learned no lessons from their irresponsibility in leading us into a manufactured WMD war in Iraq? And the MSM and press wonder why no one trusts them. Thank heavens for Pete Williams with NBC. Somewhere in teh FBI there are leaks probably because people are upset with Comey's overreaching. And this didn't start with Clinton by the way it's been going on for years under Obama.

On the one hand, Comey was apparently legally bound to put this information in writing. On the other, it's 11 days before the election, he is a Republican known for lecturing Clinton in public, and the GOP is desperate.


I think it'll die faster than I thought now that the full details are known, but either way it wasn't going to change trajectory.

They have been hunting witches with her for 25 years, they practically admit it every week.   They already are saying they have 2 years worth of investigative committees all ready to go.   The thing you can say about the Clintons is no matter how tricky their enemies get they are trickier.    I think that's why the republicans hate them so.   It's a shame she has no sense of self awareness about secrets and stuff and doesn't make it so easy for people to come after her.    The whole email mess was of her own making.

They never gave a damn about that. They loved getting to ride around in tanks and make somber faces. It was a big video game to them. 

 

This is the same thing they did with the Clintons during the '90s. It's what they tried to do with Obama but he was too smart for them (see all the desperate attempts to make "Fast & Furious" a big scandal). And we're right back in it. 

 

This is why I don't believe that they really want Trump to lose. They tut-tut but they enable at every turn.

First arrest for voter fraud this election and guess what, a Trump supporter. Not surprised, really.

 

Voter fraud suspect arrested in Des Moines

 

 

Trump mistakes a Black supporter for a protester, calls him a Thug and has him removed from the rally.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.
