Am I allowed to put this in the Democrat thead since it is written in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE?? How credible is this. He says Hillary must drop out of the race now. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columni...028-column.html

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:04 PM) how are the cubs favored tonight? +119 for cleveland going to be 5k You are going to lose your bet taking the Tribe. Cubs big tonight.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) Strike one. Try again. Provide me a link from a reputable site saying impeachment is likely. I guess you win here. But you don't see a logical result of impeachment? She's going to win the election and she's going to continue to be investigated. You are just so sure she's innocent? Hillary Clinton? Actually I win. Limbaugh mentioned it and do a simple google of Hillary Clinton could be impeached. The Washington Times said it; many are saying it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) It's as if you don't actually know what is going on with this new email stuff and assume the worst. At the very least, read some of the posts above yours to realize this is pretty much nothing. Then explain the former assistant FBI director saying it has to be serious for Comey to do what he did. Powerful.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) Find me one credible site that says odds are "good" that Hillary will be impeached. Not a humor site, not Infowars, not a blog with conservative or red in the title. An actual site with journalists saying odds are good Hillary will be impeached. Go. I heard the former assistant director of the FBI say this HAD to be serious for Comey to do what he did yesterday. That guest was pretty powerful in indicating the seriousness of this. Does Obama have the power to fire Comey? That could be the next to come of this. Don't forget, other people in the FBI were furious at his letting Hillary slide the first time. Comey has to be tougher this time or they will leak, leak leak info. As far as impeachment, I don't know who said it but Chris Wallace was very tough on her and during his discussion somebody did say she could be president and the first six months be involved in her own trial. I did hear that. If she's guilty, she has to be impeached unless she pardons herself (which I heard is actually legal).

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 11:26 PM) This is pretty much fact. I honestly can't fathom how we have undecided voters at this point. How? Then call them voters who will do what I'm doing, writing in a candidate or not voting at all out of disgust. One would think some people would change their minds about Hillary when many are saying she could go to jail over this or at least be deemed guilty and get impeached. Why wouldn't some change their minds?

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 05:24 PM) 1. Saladino has a herniated disc in his lower back. Right now its an open question if he'll be able to play next season. 2. "Good" catchers are scarcer then hen's teeth, the price to get one may be overwhelming if any are even available. Mark Wow. I feel for Saladino. That's it for his career ala Crede. Those back injuries are brutal. I hope Lawrie steps it up a notch. About catcher ... if we don't get a good one we can forget about the wildcard.

So I'll put this in the Republican thread since I got yelled at for ripping Hillary in the Democratic thread. So she wins the election in a landslide but likely will be impeached early in her presidency. What does that say about our voters? Even Meghan Kelly's show tonight was negative in tone surrounding Hillary. Some judge came on and the former assistant FBI director for gosh sakes and both said it HAD TO BE SERIOUS for the FBI director to say what he did today. Hmmmm ... it's apparent Hillary will be our first woman president, but you guys have to admit, odds look GOOD she will be impeached in her first year. This is so fricking bizarre. We better hope Tim Kaine is a good leader cause he'll be taking over.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 04:55 AM) Also crazy how the only wind-aided ball was the one Chisenhall couldn't handle against Soler. Especially with Tomlin giving up 26 homers in less than a full season of starts. I thought that was the game. I do realize the Cubs had to knock him in from third, however. I thought that botched play would be huge. Cleveland has a good team and a good manager. Still think talent will prevail and Cubs have more talent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) This is why no one takes you seriously. At this point you are one of those funny drawings where the artist intentionally exaggerates certain facial features for comedic effect. I didn't know it was fake. So shoot me. Please read my long post and comment. It's worth a discussion.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) Does that even count as satire? It has no message, and it's not even trying to be funny a la The Onion. It's just....dumb fake news. I didn't know it was fake.

Is the Rice game on stream anywhere?

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) Are robbing banks and setting failing businesses on fire with cigarettes in trash cans common accidents? I try my best with analogies. I never said I was good at it. Punch me for trying. QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) The point here - don't armchair lawyer things you don't understand. A fair rebuke IMO. I wish people would answer the questions in my long post in the other thread.Partisanship aside, this has interesting consequences. I still do think Comey let her off the hook. He did say she perjured herself but nobody cares, Illini. Do you agree she purgered herself at the very least? When he said she lied six times?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Intent is actually an important part of whether or not some actions are a crime! Again with all due respect ... I didn't intend on dropping that cigarette butt in the trash can in my failing restaurant and didn't know it would burn down." etc etc. That was a very weak excuse of Comey the first time.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) I actually kind of feel bad for FBI here. On one hand, more explanation is needed, the timing requires more than a 3 paragraph letter. On the other hand, they found more information through an unrelated case, and learned of it yesterday, and need to say that. But...you leave yourself open to jason chaffetz being an idiot too. With all due respect mags, why feel sorry for the FBI? Comey initially said there "was no intent" so that's why Hillary got off the hook. That was an embarrassing defense of not prosecuting Hillary. It led to all the "intent" jokes. Yeah I robbed that bank but my intent was good. I need to put 3 kids through college." My point is how canyou feel bad for anything concerning Comey?

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 05:57 PM) Tim Kaine is a boring, completely normal white dude, like almost all of our presidential candidates. Just about the same as any other Democrat. He'd be fine. Interesting. He might have to take over pretty quickly depending on what they find. There are so many wild scenarios here. Like what if she wins in a landslide and before inauguration day is put on trial or something.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 06:21 PM) lmaoooo are you f***ing s***ting me? turn on any cable news network RIGHT NOW THIS VERY MINUTE and tell me what you see. Avoiding Hillary? Are they going after her? I can't get to a TV now. CNN.com already changed its headline, lol.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) https://www.facebook.com/TheRebelPatriot/vi...94798947456202/ MSNBC tears into HRC for her work in her "foundation" It's been sitting high on a tee for the media to aggressively "get" Hillary and Bill the past year. It's like they've had a "gentleman's agreeement" to lay off Hillary. The question is ... does anybody care? Will outlets go after Hillary this one last week before the election?

This new development begs a lot of questions. ... -- How will the media handle it? It goes against a lot of the stuff I've been saying on here as far as coverage heading up to the election. At this date it normally would be all POSITIVE coverage for Hillary all the time leading up to the voting. Now ... with a legitimate major story, will they cover the bleep out of it or the media somehow again not care? Hard to imagine all the talk show guests simply muttering, "She did nothing wrong. This is not a story." -- It will be compelling to see how Comey handles this. For this to end quickly with him declaring, "There's nothing there," would be strange. He must know a lot of people are mad at the FBI for letting Hillary off the hook the first time. He's been praised by many, sure but also criticized by many in government. Now does he merely say there's nothing there and pave the way for the voting landslide or ? What will FBI recommend? Also the timing. Comey could be accused of influencing the election if middle of next week he triumphantly declares, "ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE FOUND NOTHING. Hillary has committed no wrongdoing in our eyes. There was no intent of wrongdoing." Would it not be irresponsible to end the new investigation right before the polls open? In other words timing now is criticial in the FBI's next decision. It could spark Hillary or hurt her a bit depending on how this comes out. -- Will this force the media to step it up trying to get more stuff on Trump? They could use a final resounding story to bury him at the polls, so to speak. -- Does this have an effect on any Hillary voters? WOuld any supporters just throw up their arms and say, "I'm sick of supporting this person through this email bulls***. I'm voting for the independent or a write in." --How does Hillary handle this news publicly? Does she laugh like she has in the past and just say, like Bernie said everybody is tired of talking about my "damn emails." Or does she stay out of the public eye til the election. Or does she say, "We welcome all scrutiny. I have done no wrong. We're glad the FBI is pursuing this." I say she'll just laugh it off as no big deal and step up her attacks on Trump. Remind everybody what a creep he is. Does anybody think we should have an election or do you agree with me it should be delayed? Does any government entity have the right to deem both candidates unfit? What if both were charged with crimes in the next week? Does our law still allow both candidates to square off? on Nov. 11? I mean postpone your partisanship for a second ... lets say Hillary faces charges and Trump is charged with assault of one of the women who have come forth. What would happen? Conclusion: As much as I despise Hillary, let's forget that for a moment. Remember I have no egg in the basket. I'm not voting for either lousy candidate. What I'm saying is This is interesting stuff. Could you all take a crack at the questions I've asked. I'd be interested in your takes.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) This really wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if it happened. Is Kaine any good? Will he be a good president if she gets impeached right away?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) New information emerges, FBI reopens investigation of Clinton on her emails. Wonder if this makes people question their decision to vote for her or is everyone by this point solidly in one camp or the other. Thank goodness FBI reopens email probe. I wish we could have an emergency delay in the election process and start over. The two candidates are unfit to be president. I was talking to a good friend about the FBI last night and how disappointed we both were in their being corrupt in letting Hillary off the hook without formal charges. I thought Comey should go to jail. Thank goodness this is happening, though I know no details yet.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) As much as I love Carlin, citing "pissing off women about what they named their kids" isn't exactly giving Carlin his due for genius. Instead it's low-hanging fruit that really should have been beneath him. I should have added how he pissed off other segments of the audience as well. He had a bit on suicide and how he's in favor of it. He had a bit on hating all people. He had a bit on how when he hears there is an earthquake the first thing he checks is how many people died cause he hates everybody. He also was a genius.

To those who wonder why I don't like Hillary, please listen to 3 minutes of this clip. Please. Huckabee tells it like it is on crooked Hillary.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 01:06 PM) 0.00001%. Just write in someone else's name, and say "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for her" for the next 4 years. Problem solved. No way I can vote for Hillary or Trump. So that leaves a write in. Case closed.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) "I can't believe these are the best two candidates we have." Carlin's got my response to that. He's a genius. Great take, Mr. Carlin. I saw him in concert in Vegas and he was amazing. He had all the women in the audience so pissed at him. He did a cool segment on modern names of children compared to good names like Mike, Joe, Bill, and he rattled off so many modern names of kids that he said were awful. Half the women in the audience probably had kids with those names.
