the horror of what is to come.

into the end of the election, and Hillary never had time to recover from it.

on the "Hillary lost because..." thread.

Several of them showed up at once, probably because a circle jerk is so much more fun than solitary masturbation.

One of them made the mistake of making the peculiar assertion that "even regular Democrats" didn't like Hillary.

What the hell is a regular Democrat?

I don't understand. Besides a "we got this" attitude by the Clinton camp Comey swayed the election, time to hold him accountable for breaking his own damn rules! Don't turn the other cheek to look to the fucking future, prosecute that lying little fuck as hard as possible.

the Trump administration?

(Good God, I just typed the words "Trump administration." This is a fucking nightmare.)

I never understood why Obama felt it necessary to "reach across the aisle" and appoint a Republican. The same goes with the Chuck Hagel appointment.

The president's obsessive need for "bipartisanship" and having to seem like the adult in the room so that David Brooks will write nice things about him, or whatever other ridiculous motivation he has is to blame for what happened. If Comey were not the head of the FBI so that the President could have been praised (by nobody) for "reaching across the aisle", then likely this never would have happened.

As his legacy is eroded (it won't be fully destroyed) he'll look back on that fact that they were obstructed in every way.

The man never had a budget passed beyond his first one, it was all continuing resolutions.

We know now, of course, that it was not based on actual integrity. The man's profoundly corrupt.

You don't get to the top without having a "good reputation." But it's a mile wide and an inch deep, as we see over and over again.

don't reach those levels by running nursery schools, but neither do the positions exclude people of sufficient honor and wisdom to serve their country properly.

ZERO acceptance for comeyism.

And it hurts my soul.

facade for weakness and an acceptance that amounts to personal corruption, which it is far too often. With over 300 million people in this nation, there are many good ones to choose from. We could say a big no and "enjoy prison" to the Comeys if only a few more million decided to hold to some basic standards.

Why DIDN'T Obama do something about Comey as soon as the rat bastard sent that letter to Congress?

I'm no lawyer, but Comey's Anti-Clinton actions 10 days before the election seem to me to be a clear violation of the 1939 Hatch Act.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatch_Act_of_1939

Why didn't the AG go after Comey for the violation of the Hatch Act? Why didn't Prez. Obama fire Comey on the spot? How was this allowed to even be a thing without the AG's say so, she is his boss after all.

Corey's actions alone influenced the election to Trump, no doubt about it. How is it absolutely NOTHING has happened to him?

violating the Hatch Act. It's especially egregious when he told Congress there were no ties between drumpf and russia and that too was a total lie. He needs to go down so repugs see there are consequences. They think they can steal the election like in 2000 and face no repercussions.

decades for Americans to view the FBI as an independent investigative agency. Comey trashed all of that with a five minute news conference. It was an absolutely foolish and incomprehensible action, for which he should be ashamed.

In the end election favored Clinton but a few days prior

"Some of you may have heard about a letter that the FBI director sent out yesterday," she said. "It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with so little information right before an election. In fact it’s not just strange -- it’s unprecedented, and it is deeply troubling." (See her remarks here at around 3:30.)

But is it? There’s one prior example that has at least some similarities -- the announcement of an indictment against Caspar Weinberger, the former defense secretary under President Ronald Reagan, just four days before the 1992 election, when Reagan’s vice president, George H.W. Bush, was running for a second term in the White House. "

Oh , the indictment was later dropped ..........

There are many articles if one wants to google Clinton , Bush , 1992 Weinberger

I voted Perot that election .........

Think it may be time for the Democratic party know and work on what kind of party it wants to be . Time may be better spent there instead of fixating on excuses .

platform to respond personally to the American people?
Coincidence?
Doubtful.

President Obama should have done his job and immediately place Comey on un-paid leave, pending DOJ seeking an indictment against Comey for violation of the hatch Act of 1939.

The obvious other question is why the hell he appointed Comey as FBI Director in the first place.

(The Republican Party is the insane asylum of the United States, imo)

he's going to have to live with the shame of that appointment & lack of placing Comey on un-paid leave, pending DOJ seeking an indictment against Comey for violation of the hatch Act. Huge misstep on his part.

However, although I, "used to love" Obama, I sure don't love him now, and I'm not too crazy about Hillary anymore either.
She should have called for election audits in all the key states, including Florida, on the day after the election.

We got robbed!

They stole yet another election!

Probably the worst appointment Obama ever offered.

K&R, by the way.

Small margin ,all that. I think it was more about what it looks like is what counts,not what it really is. A place to point,because of this,that happened. When she conceded she did say, someday a woman will be president of the United States,maybe sooner than they think.

Just maybe sooner not later because of what it really is.
It all reminded me of something very carefully staged.

Might as well change the FBI's DC Hoover building HQ name to Comey's Collusion Club. Equal "kudos" to the KGB. There's no telling what can be accomplished when committed team players work tireless (and shamelessly) toward the same goal.
