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.

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

    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
