NJS 3976 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I've always been staggered by that. The ads they get with people who've lost limbs, who would evidently benefit from a more socialist healthcare system, talking about how they'd resist it with their last breath. Staggering stupidity, but I guess the extent to the cold war era propaganda goes very deep in the US psyche. I remember seeing a Daily Show where they showed an interview with Ed Harris where he said something like "My family never relied on welfare, all we had was food stamps" without a hint of self-awareness.

Park Life 70 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Is Clinton going to get the African American vote out? These are the least motivated and focused voting caucus in the whole country..... http://europe.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-african-american-voters-election-2016-ohio-florida-515993?rm=eu Edited November 6, 2016 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34386 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Is Clinton going to get the African American vote out? I imagine it's a bit unkempt at her age, but that's a bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26271 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 So these latest Hillary emails have turned out to be nothing. Could the FBI not have taken the time to examine them first before making it public? It all seems very odd now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14576 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 FBI find no dirt on Hilary in the latest batch of emails....since the second investigation was announced 10 days ago around 40 million US citizens have voted though...there's a million things wrong with our version of democracy but I don't think MI5 would try to blatantly rig a general election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17743 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 And yet it is Trump bleating on about the election being rigged. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Surely he'd have kept it running until after the election if he wanted to maximise the damage? What does Comey gain from settling this now, if he's rigging the election? Also, the evidence seemed to be that this new information about emails didn't affect voting much and only entrenched people's pre existing biases. She's still gonna win ffs, settle down.

ewerk 26271 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 After he let the cat out of the bag he'll have been under pressure to get this resolved ASAP. That's probably the only reason we've seen the investigation ended prior to election day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any need for that after a perfectly innocuous post which was simply highlighting the ridiculousness of Trump's position. According to Trump, everything is fine if he wins but rigged if he loses. Honestly, the mentality of the man is deranged, and yet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Ok, but then at best we can say is that he's a total idiot. I genuinely think that if this is some manner of vote rigging scenario by the FBI then they're a bunch of total amateurs. The only scenario to my mind here where people as allegedly smart as the FBI let themselves get into this position, is that the new emails came to light and they realised that they had to gamble. If they sat on it and Trump won, they were stuffed. If they released it and Hillary won, they were stuffed (assuming it contained nothing of substance). I could see that scenario forcing them into this position. But to suggest that this was an attempt to control voting and that they didn't foresee the 'pressure to resolve asap' coming as soon as they went public is a bit of a stretch IMO. Unless they actually aren't all that smart or professional, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they actually aren't all that smart or professional, I guess. I agree with that. But don't think this couldn't be important if in some of the swing states Hillary lost votes to third party candidate because of this. Iirc the 2000 election came down to a few hundred strategically placed votes didn't it? If this had been the other way round, the AK47s would have been on the streets. Trump supporters have the mentality of Brexit voters taking their pens to the ballot box. They won't accept defeat and I fear for the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should shut this place down until this election is over and Brexit has been completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
