Trump runs for POTUS/ Trumped Up! Part VII

This Comey boondoggle is definitely going to create a tightening of the race. It's Saturday night where you are, and it's still the big current story, and will be leading into the Sunday morning talk-news-cycle.

In the interim, we have the racist lady in Iowa and Trump throwing out a black Blacks For Trump guy and calling him a thug. Had either of those happened, there would be interviews and serious smirking, even at Fox.

Instead, we've got Hillary Says X About FBI, Donald Says X About FBI, Giuliani Says X About FBI, and tomorrow morning it'll be Kellyanne And The Surrogates Say X About FBI.

And the coverage of Donald is lightweight... him comparing it to worse and worse things. His hyperbole rolls off the public's back. The important thing is he's not being Donald... at least not on the airwaves... and when Donald's not being Donald and is out of the headlines for his latest stupidity, the mercurial and half-witted public seems to forget all the bad stuff from 72 hours (and every hour up to 45 years) ago.
 
The Daily Beast quoting Bill Maher's monologue: “I think it is rather appropriate that this election is so close to Halloween, because what happens in every scary movie? You think you killed the monster—you killed him ten times—and then a tiny, orange hand comes out of the grave. Believe me: for Hillary, tonight was Nightmare on Email Street.”

There's just one individual powerful enough to neutralize this balls-up and it's a &#*$% furriner: Rupert Murdoch.

"Foreign-owned news media outlet Fox News" should become the standard description.

And look at this:

In late 1990, the all-female band Precious Metal was going to shoot a video for their remake of “Mr. Big Stuff.” Trump made headlines by agreeing to star as the title character, in return for a charitable donation.

“I want to give it to my favorite charity, and it’s just 10 grand,” Leslie Knauer, the lead singer for the band, recalled Trump saying.

They shot the video, Knauer said.

Then, a few days later, the band got a call.

“You know, $10,000 really isn’t a Trump kind of donation,” Trump said, according to interviews Knauer gave at the time. He wanted $250,000.

The move backfired. The band re-shot the video with a look-alike. Knauer said they gave Trump nothing.

“Then he said [publicly] he hated the song,” Knauer recalled. “It was horrible.

No. But it's the explanation that makes the most sense to me, based on my experience with politicians, cops and attempted damage control.

By Friday, how many people in the FBI knew Huma's private computer had potentially relevant emails on it? They all are potential leakers, especially if they disagreed with Comey about his earlier decision not to seek charges. Those people are at least likely leakers and Comey could well have known that. ("A private computer seized by the FBI contains emails from Hillary Clinton that may be relevant to its earlier investigation, CNN has learned.") At that point they call Comey for reaction, and what can he say? That he thought it was no big deal? He'd get slaughtered. He would get death threats. He would be in the sights of some nasty, nasty people.

IMO he was seeking to control the impact and might even have given Hillary a heads up.

Except as we now know that's not the case:

Corney ignored DOJ advice that he should NOT inform congress.

Might this almost be "whistle blower" territory?

His boss is the same one that conferred on the tarmac with Bill Clinton. About who-knows-what? Perhaps he felt that their "advice" was, itself, political in nature?

Just speculating.

When Glenn Beck "speculates" like this, most people understand that it is just an idiotic conspiracy theory allegation.

Unless he is way to stupid to be the Director of the FBI he fully knew that informing Congress in a vaguely worded letter would give the appearance of influencing the election given that the Republicans would instantly use it to try to sway the election.

And now your just making stuff up to justify Corney ignoring clear advice and engaging in an action that seems to have no other purpose than to help the Republican candidate.

Trump has already stated that the 'consultation' was to bribe her in to clearing Hilary, the department is already part of the conspiracy to fix the election.

I can't see that the figures are intentionally black, though they look dark.

There is a (mostly forgotten) tradition of hanging effigies for Halloween. This image looks exceptionally insensitive, but I don't think I see clear enough evidence to conclude intentional racism. Perhaps if I knew the man, the evidence would go one way or the other.

Certainly. I can't tell which tradition he's following here. If it really is a matter of sending a threat, then he's vile scum. If it's really an insensitive decoration, then he should be criticized and hopefully educated.

In neither case is this an acceptable thing to do, but the severity of the transgression depends on the tradition.

Low hanging pants, ball caps turned to the side, etc. They're dressed like typical black kids.
 
I don't have a dog in this, but I'm curious how you, Phiwum, might judge the man if he were daring oversensitive liberals to get upset, as one might by flying a confederate flag. Just poking the pc types.
