White nationalist pro-Trump robocall: "I believe Evan [McMullin] is a closet homosexual."

I voted on Saturday and want this shit to be over. I'm a political junkie, but honestly...I'm over this one.

It's that he's so self deprecating, able to have a laugh at his own expense. Humble too. Just such a friendly, fun guy to have around the place. He always brightens the mood.

He's totally not an angry white guy.

If you were the smartest guy in the room and had to deal with all the uneducated people here, you'd be angry too. We should all be more understanding me thinks.

How far back do you guys go?  I thought Flagg was a new to the boards back then.

SLC are you in Salt Lake?  I think I asked you this before, my brothers out there.

I'm 43 fwiw, def not a milennial. Old head right here.

Some of us go way back. I'd say I started posting around 2000 on HTGTH. Before that I was a reader on The Lost Rose.

I lived there twice. Once when I was 20 and another time in my 30s. I live in Las Vegas now. I would live in SLC again probably but the air pollution is horrendous, especially in the winter. It's a shame because it's beautiful and has a great outdoor lifestyle.

SLC I remember had a site called the tinfoil linux too.

SLC may have banned me in my days of youthful folly or I forgot the address, probably both.

I rarely banned anybody that I recall. Even Flagg. But maybe I did...I can't remember anything anymore. Although I would ban Buzz, he's a loser.

I know that nobody here talked like that to one another while you were gone. Everybody else knows it too.

Nah, I was posting on HTGTH back in 04.  I think SLC had a site called gnrsyndicate before he went to Crass.

Correct. I got sick of GnR, thought it became a joke, so switched it to a whatever forum. Site remains, but I haven't touched it in a long time.

It was absolutely buzz, sorry for the confusion.

You still have your fucking hard-on for me?  You know you really took someone down hard when they just can't let it go in spite of the fact I've hardly said a word in weeks. 

Yuck it up with you and your one supporter.  So many people have been laughing at you for months now that there's no way you'll ever recover from it.  Good day.


Like I said...better when you're not here.

Surprising...

Trump Supporter Jeanine Pirro Defends Hillary Clinton Over FBI Announcement

Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro came to Hillary Clinton’s defense on Sunday, criticizing FBI Director James Comey over his recently announced investigation into new emails relating to the former secretary of state.

“Comey’s actions violate, not only long-standing Justice Department policy, the directive of the person that he works under, the attorney general,” the former prosecutor said, referring to Loretta Lynch’s reported disagreement with Comey, “but even more important, the most fundamental rules of fairness and impartiality.”

A vocal supporter of GOP nominee Donald Trump, Pirro said Comey’s decision to announce the investigation so near Election Day reminded her of her own experience while running for New York attorney general in 2006. She called a DOJ investigation into her practices at the time “mean-spirited, and of course, nothing came of it except the adverse publicity cost me at the polls.”

“What was done to me in 2006 was wrong, and what happened to Hillary Clinton was equally wrong,” Pirro said. “Now this nation has already gone through an exhausting and traumatic campaign season. The FBI director should not now be front and center.”

Clinton’s campaign and Senate Democrats are calling on Comey to clarify the nature of the investigation out of concern that it is being misused for political purposes. “This is the biggest political scandal since Watergate, and I’m sure it will be properly handled from this point,” Trump said at a rally on Friday.

Comey’s decision to announce the investigation so close to the election also alarmed Richard Painter, who served as the chief ethics lawyer in the White House under George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007. Painter announced Sunday in a New York Times op-ed that he had filed a Hatch Act violation complaint against Comey. The act prohibits employees of the executive branch from engaging in political activity.

“I have spent much of my career working on government ethics and lawyers’ ethics, including two and a half years as the chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, and I never thought that the F.B.I. could be dragged into a political circus surrounding one of its investigations,” Painter wrote. “Until this week.”

Technically everyone born before 1981.

So maybe James, SLC, Smoking or I guess Randall tongue.

I was born in 1971.

Randall was born in 1955 I think. (that's what I heard anyway)

After more reading about this it sure seems like Comey covering his butt more than anything. This man swore under oath that if anything new came to light it would be reopened for investigation. Chaffetz and his pals have already said they plan on investigating Clinton further if/when she becomes POTUS. In other words, as usual per the Republican party, this is only the beginning not the end of their "investigations." Same applies for Comey. Either way you cut it, this guy is going to get dragged up there and questioned relentlessly over the Clinton emails.

Now imagine Comey in front of Congress testifying that he became aware of further emails less than two weeks before the election, but did nothing. He'd be accused of being in the tank for team Clinton just for starters, and probably would face criminal charges. By releasing this information now it keeps him safe from any prosecution later when they most certainly go full "Benghazi" on him.

It also looks like nothing came from Clinton or her server and nothing was intentionally withheld from the FBI.

I'd guess it's a big nothing burger.

If the Clinton camp has anything left on Trump, I'd expect it to drop before the Sunday news shows too. Rumors have swirled for the last week that there is a "bombshell" out there. Guess we'll see soon enough.

I went through my sample ballot today and will be early voting tomorrow.
