Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Actual scorched earth would be for Comey to say he charged Hillary in 2016 right before the election so that Trump would win.
This is the only right thing for him to do. Fuck him. I'm curious what he did to get on trumps bad side when I see him as only have helped Trump.
Masterful would be pulling out the message from Trump telling him to do that so that it would prejudice the voters. ..and then a series of email detailing a story where Trump would threaten him to out him for one crime and making him commit a worse crime.
Even then it wouldn't sway the Johnsons and Greenes of the world, but it'd make for better reality TV than the Apprentice ever was.
I don't think his persona allows for that. He seems to consider himself innocent in all this.
Most people do.
Clinton caused Clinton to lose.
It can be two things.
No it can't, anyone that was willing to vote for Clinton would not have had their mind changed with the information released by Comey.
Except that if you look at polls prior to and immediately after Comey declaring he was investigating Clinton, there was a massive swing away from Clinton. So you're wrong.

Her failures do not excuse republican corruption.
No one ever implied any such thing
