Remember those emails on Anthony “Weiner Pic” Weiner’s laptop? And how they might have something to do with Hillary Clinton’s email server?
So let’s get this straight. For a *week* he let this bullshit hang out there, and 1/3rd of the votes have already been cast… and then that’s all we get? Nevermind?
The New York Daily News has the right of it:
President Clinton needs to fire his ass 2 minutes after taking office. Just sayin’.

I still reckon (being charitable here) that Comey had a notion that some anti-Hillary faction within the Feebosphere was going to stage a carefully timed November Surprise leak about “Omigawd! Hillary! E-mail server! Weiner the pervert!” to distort the election results. So he preempted that by floating an ill-timed balloon, then popping it, doing minimal damage instead of a Hindenburg scale like it would have been if the Omigawd! leak happened today, or yesterday. I’d LIKE to think that because it doesn’t seem as though someone who’s been around the Washington Powersphere for as long as Comey would make a stupid political mistake with an inept fizzlemove at this stage of the electiongame. It looks like he was doing a power play, when what he was actually accomplishing is circumventing one by rogue elements of is agency who were more concerned with hamstringing Hills than upholding whatever oath it is that Fibbers are supposed to follow.
Even in my charitable view, that means that people within the SSecurity SState are intent on perverting the course of democracy to install an ignorant, mentally ill fascist. Does not bode well for Hillary’s chances to avoid a JFKing.
It’s a shame that political leanings have become identity for so many Merkins. (Including me. I wouldn’t be where I am today, literally and figuratively, if it weren’t for the politix of my Xwife and I.) It’s why Sovokamerika is so divided — the attitude of “My political faction is who I AM! And if you don’t like my faction, you don’t like me. Therefore, you are my enemy, and should be destroyed.” People are certainly politically attuned here, probably with more consciousness about their own philosophical view of what government should do than typical Duhmericans. But they don’t get so bent out of shape about it that they can’t talk to someone of another perspective. (Usually) And in Canada, they were even lower-key (while still being more intelligent, as a whole, than USAnians. Canucks despised Stephen Harper, or sneer at Justin Trudeau, but they’re not talking rebellion over either.
The idea that Hillary Clinton, a corporatist tool who’s been competent at her jobs and not terribly crooked, should arouse such hatred, would be puzzling to me except I work with crazy people. Obama Derangement Syndrome has easily shifted into HDS. The “deranged” part is the key. Too many Merkins choose to believe that political ideology, which is entirely an artificial and not-all-that-important construct, is a core element of their personality. They have whipped themselves into a self-induced frenzy over it. It’s madness. And untreated mental illness almost always gets worse, until it causes the patient to become dysfunctional. What happens when tens of millions of people go politically mad, and their twisted psyches keep boiling along without medication? The world has seen the results in Rwanda 1994, Yugoslavia 1991, Kampuchea 1974, Germany 1933, et al. No telling how the specifics will play out in the USA, because all freak-outs are different, but it’s not likely to be pretty.
