Look DU members .... You can try to hide your head in the sand and pretend this is nothing but.....

[UCmeNdc]

Someone planned this. Comey is no fool.
It was done in such a manner that Hillary can hardly defend herself. Hillary was on her way toward a landslide. The Democratic Party would take the Senate. What do you do if you are a Republican. Boom!

Now what do we really know about that computer? Who handled it? Comey just sits back and implies there is a problem. He doesn't have his agents come forward.

If you want to sit back and act like it is all cool. Well the GOP is laughing at you. Roger Stone is laughing at you. They are about to steal the election while you say oh it's okay.

Nothing wrong with asking a few questions. Get some verification. Or sit back and let the lies win.

[Demsrule86]

42. Comey can fuck himself...

There is no way he looks better...as for Podesta...I don't doubt there is nothing...because they wasted millions and found nothing...Hillary did not do anything wrong...state computers are a mess ...she was trying to do her job.

[MADem]

2. Put your ear to the ground.

That roar you hear is HRC supporters saying "FUCK YOU" to Comey and the wingnuts.

This thing has had an effect--a boomerang effect. The only people who are "energized" are diehard Trumphumpers and angry Hillary-ites.

No one is stealing the election. Only idiots who support Trump and think that this bullshit has wings believe that.

"Roger Stone is laughing at you?" Please. Such concern.

Comey IS a fool--and he's going to pay dearly for it, too. He thought he had job security through 2022. He'd maybe better think again.

[Rex]

4. Yep it had the opposite effect on voting, people realized it was ANOTHER

attempt by the GOP to throw the election in their favor. I love how some people don't get why record numbers of people are voting for the Democratic candidates.

Either that or they are just desperate.

[Cha]

50. Yeah, maybe people weren't as trusting and as enamored with

the FBI as comey thought?!

Thanks, Rex

[Rex]

57. He has tarnished whatever reputation the FBI rebuilt after Hoover.

The lead story if of course our elections, but another equally big story should be how Russia evidently has more influence in our country then we ever thought possible.

Hope you are having a good day Cha.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. OMG! Thank you for this dose of sanity amongst all the frantic handwringing.

[Demsrule86]

41. Thank you MADem

You are correct...nicely done.

[Cha]

52. I sure hope that huge comfort zone comey thought he was

in with his 10 year contract as FBI Director gets bounced on its head!

Mofo thought he could come out and say anything he damn pleased 11 days before the biggest election of our lifetime?!

Now the FBI has activated a dormant account from 2012 to tweet more shite about Clintons?

Thank you, MADem!

[Rex]

3. Yeah we know this was done on purpose.

First the Russians, then this asshole. Still on here way toward a landslide, numbers don't lie.

[writes3000]

5. Look, this is your fifth email in two hours on this subject. Consolidate them to one post.

Your minute by minute unfounded speculation shouldn't knock everyone else's post down.

[MADem]

44. It's a tactic that reveals itself by its very insistent and frantic attitude.

The more crap that is shoveled, the less it is believed.

Sometimes, people should realize that commentary is like spice in food--a little encourages thought, a lot tastes like shit and requires that the whole dish be tossed in the trash.

A bit too spicy, this, for my tastes....and that stink of "hair on fire" doesn't do much for anyone's appetite!

[duffyduff]

6. You can continue to pretend that there is something there and

make people highly suspicious of YOUR motives.

There is NO goddamned scandal. Get THAT through your head.

[UCmeNdc]

8. Wanting Hillary to win? Is my motive..

Actually there is a bit of a scandal. The scandal is: The head of the FBI hints using the press, that he may have new emails showing a Sec. of State carelessly handled classified intel. Even though the head of the FBI offers no proof.

[Demsrule86]

40. There is the attack...rightwing meme...had to get it out...carelessly handles etc.

Actually Comey did not say that or hint that...but you did.

[MADem]

43. Stow the concern. You want to REALLY help? Pass THIS around:

Harry Reid: FBI Director Comey’s ‘Partisan Actions’ May Violate Federal Law

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said FBI Director James Comey may have violated a federal law when he disclosed, less than two weeks before the presidential election, that his office was pursuing potential new evidence related to Democratic nominee’s Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.

Mr. Reid was preparing to send a letter to Mr. Comey on Sunday saying he appears to be aiding one political party over another. He said that may violate the Hatch Act, which bars government officials from using their position to influence an election.

“I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act,” Mr. Reid wrote, according to a draft of the letter provided to The Wall Street Journal. “Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law.”

A spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment......

[RKP5637]

7. Exactly!!! This is a Coup! Many Americans just don't comprehend WTF is going on! Far too

many have their heads in the sand just thinking good old America will just tick on, well, it won't, and this is a fine example of the shenanigans going on behind the scenes. This, was no damn coincidence. it's an attempt at a Coup, plain and simple!!!

[UCmeNdc]

10. Agree!

[Blue Idaho]

9. Is this really happening? Of course it is...

Was it planned? Of course it was...

Are DU members hiding their heads in the sand? Bullshit.

Nice logical fallacy though.

[UCmeNdc]

13. I'm glad you see it exactly the way I do.

[Blue Idaho]

15. Not exactly...

I don't see anyone around here sticking their heads in the sand. According to your thread title, I assume you do. I may be misreading you?

[UCmeNdc]

18. Figure of speech, used to grab attention,

[nini]

12. You must like living in a constant state of fear

No thanks.. Hillary and team will take care of this - not to mention this little fiasco is already blowing up in their faces.

[UCmeNdc]

16. Naw, Just really would like to see Hillary win with a Democratic Party controlled Senate.

And I think Comey and his friends might not want to see that ending to this story.

[sunnystarr]

17. I agree (nt)

[beachbumbob]

20. It's up to Hillary, Obama and their people to pounce on this not DU...

DU members should concentrate on the GOTV efforts...and the outcome will make all of us happy

[Dem2]

25. Yep

Running around with her hair on fire isn't going to help.

[Grey Lemercier]

30. DU members should concentrate on the GOTV efforts <<<<<<<< THIS!!!!!!!!!!

[budkin]

21. Chill out

Trump was and is still too far behind for him to win this election

[NastyRiffraff]

23. No one is pretending "this is nothing"

It is indeed something when the FBI Director acts as a partisan hack, talking about emails which he hasn't even looked at because there is no warrant yet. How transparently partisan can he get?

Of course it's something, and if you had read the threads here on DU condemning this farce, you'd know that nobody is hiding their head in the sand about this steaming crap. Nobody is acting like it's "cool."

Geez.

[Cha]

54. Well Done, Riff! There's just more of us

concentrating on GOTV2016 than handwringing!

Just one example..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512570267

Thank you!

[DarthDem]

26. We're Starting to Reach Deliberate Oversaturation Now

Certain people seem to want to keep discussing this story despite the lack of any new information.

Comey bad. We get it.

[Demsrule86]

36. Do you?

Yes Comey is a fucking asshat.

[Ccarmona]

27. I was Mistakenly

Thinking Comey kept his partisan views to himself, boy was I wrong. My concern is that the Never-Trump crew will now stay home, instead of voting for HRC. But, if they do, that will certainly help Democratic down-ballot candidates.

[geek tragedy]

28. Clinton was not on her way to a landslide. She was on her way to winning by about 5% and now she'll

win by 4.8%.

[cwydro]

29. Sorry, take your panic elsewhere.

Tired of these concern threads.

Good luck.

[onecaliberal]

31. More stupid bullshit about nothing. Comedy is a piece of shit republican.

Period. It's beyond the pale.

[Johnny2X2X]

32. This is not a Clinton investigation

It has nothing to do with her. Even if Huma's emails are on her husband's computer, still has zero to do with Hillary.

[Ligyron]

45. and we know this exactly how???

I would certainly like to be reassured.

Somebody in the DOJ or Democratic resistance needs to jump up into the air and come down HARD with both spiked heels on Comey!

[William769]

33. I reject the premise of you question.

I don't know anyone here on DU that would fit into this category.

"If you want to sit back and act like it is all cool. Well the GOP is laughing at you. Roger Stone is laughing at you. They are about to steal the election while you say oh it's okay."


I'm not even going to try to tell you what I think of that statement. I'm reminded of "when they go low, we go high!"

[Skittles]

34. only rightwing whackjobs are upset over the made-up "email scandal"

anyone who buys into this bullshit was never going to vote for Hillary

[Demsrule86]

35. More negativity? And what pray tell will you do?

Other than use it to attack the Clinton campaign.

[NCTraveler]

37. I don't think most are putting their heads in the sand.

They are able to view the big picture and not just one side.

[UCmeNdc]

46. Remember I said someone planned this..... Russia?

Comey seems unwilling to investigate Russian involvement. There is something that is not right with Comey, the initial letter to the GOP 1st, lack of sustained investigation by FBI into Trump's background, correctly timed and precise leaks out of the FBI. Just asking questions here.

47. Nothing wrong with asking a few questions. Get some verification，

Earlier this month, the group of computer scientists passed the logs to Paul Vixie. In the world of DNS experts, there’s no higher authority. Vixie wrote central strands of the DNS code that makes the internet work. After studying the logs, he concluded, “The parties were communicating in a secretive fashion. The operative word is secretive. This is more akin to what criminal syndicates do if they are putting together a project.” Put differently, the logs suggested that Trump and Alfa had configured something like a digital hotline connecting the two entities, shutting out the rest of the world, and designed to obscure its own existence. Over the summer, the scientists observed the communications trail from a distance.

48. Poll: 28% of REPUBLICAN early voters in FL crossing over for Clinton.

Now, doesn't that make you feel a bit less concerned?

http://www.msnbc.com/brian-williams/watch/florida-survey-28-of-gop-early-voters-picking-clinton-798821443850

[UCmeNdc]

51. yes it does

[Warren DeMontague]

53. me, too.

Now, if I was a Republican, that news might make me crap my grampers.

[MyNameIsKhan]

49. My take this was all planned for beginning.. from the time trump raised rigged election

and Comey said my BoyToy let me make this true...

FBI NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ROUGE AGENTS NEED TO BE IMPRISIONED INCLUDING COMEY

[Divine Discontent]

55. Of course, some DUers are going to tell a 6 yr member to take their concern elsewhere, LOL...

There is a SHIT LOAD of damage being done to our nation by these rogue illegal actions of Comey.

People are gonna talk about it and say we have to do everything we can to talk to others about the election instead of sitting on DU all day. I have been away for hours talking about the election to people who are not highly supportive of Hillary. I come back here after this newest Comey assault on democracy is performed, and some are going off about people throwing a fit about his actions. Really?

Just wipe their poo flinging off, and stick in one thread if you can, about the topic. If you're being supportive of Clinton, and talking about how shitty Comey's actions are to Democracy - you don't gotta 'splain nothing to nobody!

[BobbyDrake]

61. How does a "6 year member" have so little control over their emotional intelligence?

Having joined a long time ago apparently doesn't immunize them from being infected with unchecked (and unhelpful) anxiety.

[CanadaexPat]

56. Comey did Clinton a favor -

this is one less item they can claim would have changed the election result, as a way of calling into question the legitimacy of her Presidency. They'll still throw all kinds of things at her but they can't say the Administration sat on information.

[UCmeNdc]

58. FBI Examining Fake Documents Targeting Clinton Campaign (Conspiracy Theory Huh?)

To think that you guys have no idea....... That computer that the FBI took from Weiner can have faked emails placed on it if you have no chain of custody established where and who had it.

Russian intelligence is all over placing disinformation into this election.

FBI Examining Fake Documents Targeting Clinton Campaign

U.S. Senator Tom Carper, a Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has referred one of the documents to the FBI for investigation on the grounds that his name and stationery were forged to appear authentic, some of the sources who had knowledge of that discussion said.

In the letter identified as fake, Carper is quoted as writing to Clinton, “We will not let you lose this election,” a person who saw the document told Reuters.

[BobbyDrake]

62. Obvious efforts to demoralize are obvious. You're fooling no one. This is not helping.

Stop already, before you embarrass yourself any further.



(Yeah, it's so bad, you earned a double-puke!)

[UCmeNdc]

64. Why does this demoralize you? It makes me want to protect Clinton.

One way to protect her is to recognize the methods of attacks. For instance if it is not put out into the media for the average voter that these things are not true about Hillary then voters may believe them. Read the link. Russia is planting fake emails. Huffington post is now reporting that fact. Did you know that?

[BobbyDrake]

67. But I DO recognize the "methods of attack." Specifically, YOURS.

Again, you fool no one. Delete your account if this is all you can find to do with it.

[BobbyDrake]

59. I'm laughing at you. How many of these demoralizing threads have you started lately?

Every time I see one of these kinds of anti-enthusiasm threads, it's always the same small list of petty malcontents behind them.

Why not peddle this loser pinebagger mentality over on JPR where they'll eat it right up?

[JTFrog]

60. Still at it today. nt

[LanternWaste]

63. The Great Prophets, instructing us as to what is or is not worthy of consideration,

The Great Prophets, instructing us as to what is or is not worthy of consideration, telling us who is laughing and why. Educating us and enlightening us with absolute knowledge. The self-righteousness of absolutism is without nuance, context or degree... unless you call yourself Habakkuk.

"How long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save? Or sit back and let the lies win..."

[jcgoldie]

65. It was planned

And in retrospect I don't think they thought it would push Trump over the top. I have my doubts the Repub establishment would even want that to happen. But what it did do is drive a 5 day media cycle with Clinton email news to fire up a demoralized republican base enough to make the House look safe for them and the Senate at least competitive.
