The Final Big Election Thread of the Season
Hehe indeed.
I'm reading all kinds of rumours about this. That he flipped or his estranged wife did and gave up the old goat Clinton for leniency. Internal revolts at the FBI, agents resigning en masse because of Comey's refusal to recommend prosecution. Hard to substantiate anything, but I just have that feeling. I thought this election was a strange one so far, but the possibility of Clinton being arrested and charged this close to election day is so far out there. Have we all stepped through the looking glass?

Well, on the radio they were saying the Democrats had been entertaining the thought about having Clinton step down and Kaine taking her place. I don't know if the votes would still stand or not. I don't think that is too far fetched because the Repubs that hate Trump wanted to do the same thing - that's why they were so interested in who Trump was going to pick for his running mate.

What I find most amusing about this:
People generally remember the last scandal and explain away the election result on that one thing, so if Trump wins, people will say it was this scandal that won it for him. If he wins, the truth is he probably had this election in the bag months ago, despite the media's best efforts to tell you otherwise, but that is not how it will be remembered by most.
So lets say Trump wins, and he lives up to most of his promises and gets America back on the right (Right) track. Does Anthony Weiner go down in history as the dickposting pervert turncoat who accidentally saved America? A twisted pseudo-mythical Paul Revere of the internet age?

Note the last item in particular, which is not just internal US political corruption, but a threat to national security:
Bret Baier: FBI Sources Believe Clinton Foundation Case Moving Towards "Likely an Indictment"
Fox News Channel's Bret Baier reports the latest news about the Clinton Foundation investigation from two sources inside the FBI. He reveals five important new pieces of information in these two short clips:
1. The Clinton Foundation investigation is far more expansive than anybody has reported so far and has been going on for more than a year.
2. The laptops of Clinton aides Cherryl Mills and Heather Samuelson have not been destroyed, and agents are currently combing through them. The investigation has interviewed several people twice, and plans to interview some for a third time.
3. Agents have found emails believed to have originated on Hillary Clinton's secret server on Anthony Weiner's laptop. They say the emails are not duplicates and could potentially be classified in nature.
4. Sources within the FBI have told him that an indictment is "likely" in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, "barring some obstruction in some way" from the Justice Department.
5. FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clinton's server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information had been taken from it.

Holy Moly Mr. M! That's scandalous! For Heaven's sake! I'm going to be tied to the radio tomorrow. What is the source that you are getting that information from?

Men in trench coats in dark alleyways, literally nothing is confirmed yet, but the rumours do seem to be consistent, not only with each other but also the bizarre decision of Comey to reopen the investigation at this late stage, so close to an election. The emails may well be that damning.

Trump has many lawsuits against him- the rape case, Trump university and I think a few others? His foundation is being investigated- there's speculation of pay-to-play, plus there is no proof he's even donated to causes in a long time! One report said his last "donation" was to fix a fountain outside of one of his hotels. Then there's the report of him crashing some dinner event, sitting in a donor's seat and acting like he donated when there is no proof he did! He's been bankrupt many times. He hasnt paid many workers. He attacks people with disabilities. He attacks people of just about every race. He uses tax loopholes that he claims he will "close" if elected. He brags about sexually assaulting women (not just the recent one either, there's plenty of Howard Stern audio footage and more that proves his attitude towards women). But somehow all this stuff is "media smears" or "not relevant" to Trump supporters. Like Trump has said himself- he could shoot someone with witnesses, his supporters wouldn't care. Pretty sickening and unfortunate.
I still havent seen any good reason by Trump supporters of why this stuff is fine to them. "But Clinton is worse" and "its all just media smears" arent valid excuses and never will be. The media didn't alter audio of Trump talking- FACT!
Lock him up! He isnt fit to be president. He's a criminal thats gotten away with so much due to lying and bribes.
I sincerely hope that Clinton isn't tied to a pedophile ring.
This election just keeps getting darker and darker.
It will be a tough pill to swallow for the American people if we have voted in not just one but two evil psychopaths. Right now each side at least has the comfort of saying "the other side is worse." What if they are both equally bad though? It's as if the human brain cannot take it in. It is too uncomfortable to face - so people pick a side because it "feels good" and I'm not knocking that - it's a defense mechanism.
I hope this newest speculation is unfounded. We'll see soon enough.
This is interesting ....
An AI program that correctly picked the last 3 elections -- picks Trump to win.
Based on "internet engagement" ..... of data from 20 million different data points from Google, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook posts .... looking at data of people engaging in conversation about Trump
So far, the candidate with the most social engagement has won.

I can't sleep so I thought I'd post this little clip that is quite fitting for what we are all going through right now. Enjoy.

I guess we'll see. I'm starting to see more about it on the internet - several different sites. I don't doubt it, but it's hard to wrap my head around it. Some understanding of things fit together better (for me) if the story is true - one being Bush saying that he's voting for Hillary.

Something I'm reading is saying that Weiner admitting himself into that sex rehab clinic was both a legal maneuver and for his own personal safety. The plot thickens.

Thanks for clarifying that. I feel a little silly falling for that but I guess it didn't occur to me that someone could have so lack of a life as to spend so much time on such an intricate fake.
There's apparently going to be a 100GB data dump today with 3GB video evidence.
Download with caution as the video material in itself is criminal to view (evidence of the sex crimes).
Just throwing that out there. If it turns out to be true (most likely) then just be cautious.
Apparently this was due to release on the 5th but because of how fast things are happening they are doing it now (Wiki, anon).
