Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

After roe, women are no longer free.

This fight is for everything.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We still have time to mess this up!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Infrastructure week. at last.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Come on, man.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

    Right, but can you undo a solid week of negative press/media? No, you cannot.

    The next letter needs to be his resignation. Wednesday morning, 3AM.

    Co-signed. Maybe replace the FBI with the Keystone Kops for improve professionalism.

    To the extent there are any stragglers, maybe this will help bring them out on Tuesday. And maybe depress Trump turnout just a tad.

    If we’re really lucky, Trump will go unhinged again tomorrow and put the stake into his own heart.

    Before they fire him, Dems should drag his ass before committee hearings to explain the leaks. If they win Senate of course.

    OT: This is apparently a real tweet from Philly’s mayor.

    Rudy Giuliani just told me that The Donald is fit to be commander in chief. Hahahah! ??????. Can’t make this shit up!

    So almost universal condemnation had some effect, because I expected Comey to keep this dangling until after Tuesday too.
    I hope he’s gone by Friday.

    Did you see Al Franken on CNN? He said as a member of the Judiciary Committee, he is confident there will be hearings into Comey’s role in this election and an investigation of “rogue elements” of the FBI who talked to Giuliani. He said it’s not the FBI’s role to interfere with elections and that as director, Comey should have been able to hold the agency to its mission and needs to explain the lapse. Al is on the fucking case!

    Problem is the letter will get lost in all of the ‘day before election’ news coverage.

    On a somewhat related topic there are a couple of items on Twitter that ‘Old Little hands’ staff has taken away his twitter account. Seems that can’t trust him on Twitter but not to worry the nuclear codes are in good hands (Melania’s maybe or Val;id’s?)

    Seeing the word “Honorable” before “Jason Chaffetz” in the letter is just nauseating.

    I don’t think resignation is enough, he should be fired.

    Over on KOS ‘

    Apparently, the NY FBI office has leaked over 650,000 emails from Weiner’s laptop to the House Republicans according to Rep. Steve King, who was bragging about it at a rally. Here’s Steve King in full braggadocio about being in cahoots with the FBI to interfere with the election:
    ‘So the Weiner leaks, the WikiLeaks, you name your leaks, we’ve got our hands on all of them – 650,000 emails.’
    King also suggested that the number of emails related to the FBI investigation may be larger than 650,000.

    What a bunch of degenerates. The source is the British Daily Mail so it’s validity may be open to question.

    @D58826: A tabloid and Steve King? Yeah, I call BS.

    Besides, Comey’s letter just kicked the chair out from beneath them.

    @James E Powell: Well, based on his current assignments and minority seniority:
    Judiciary subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law
    Health, Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety

    @D58826: Totally believable story, but the Daily Mail is crap. I hope it’s true, to be honest, because I don’t want this REAL scandal to get swept under the rug.

    I wonder how many undecideds could even tell you what the July “conclusion” was. A lot of them probably think it was an indictment.

    FBI Dir just informed us “Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Sec Clinton”

    The FBI director seems to be under the impression his boss is a dung beetle from Utah.

    I want to see Giuliani questioned under oath and then investigated up and down til the cows come home.

    @James E Powell:

    The next letter needs to be his [Comey’s] resignation. Wednesday morning, 3AM.

    Why wait so long? This election will be over by 11:30 pm EDT Tuesday night, possibly by 10:30 pm.

    @D58826:

    So the Weiner leaks,
    the WikiLeaks,
    you name your leaks,
    we’ve got our hands
    on all of them –
    650,000 emails.

    This should be a lyric in a Broadway musical.
