Support NeoGAF

SOMEONE SHOOT JIM ACOSTA

TWAT

 

[Sianos]

But what made the sort of people who would be dramatically disgusted every time they hear the word "email" pledge support Hillary to in the first place? I don't buy that the people who would be turned off by this were ever going to vote for her in the first place.

This is hillarious (there's a video)

This is amazing.

 

[Gattsu25]

what's going on? I just came home from work and CNN is exploding over emails again??? What happened?

The FBI released this statement:

Which tells me nothing.

We'll probably get some actual details by mid-next week.

For now, there's not enough information to even assume what this is about. It's a collective panic attack over speculation. The media is eating it up, though.

 

[Loudninja]

Did this thread just reset or something lol.

 

[wumster3000]

I suspect a lot of black people will be voting on Sunday.

I don't think this will hurt her voter turnout. Her making a public appearance telling them to release everything helped.

 

[CygnusXS]

Will we still be talking about emails during her re-election campaign in 2020?

 

[HanShotFirst]

Did this thread just reset or something lol.

Its a cycle of bedwetting and hopium. I think now we are on the upswing of hopium.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So CNN.com is running with Hillary demanding answers from Comey. That's the only bit on these emails on their homepage.

I still don't think this is going to matter at all in a few days.

I bet Comey releases a statement the day before the election

Will we still be talking about emails during her re-election campaign in 2020?

Somehow these emails will tie into the Democrat candidate in 2024

 

[Y2Kev]

Where are yall getting that they were forwards?

I was driving home the past hour...so I missed a lot apparently.

We don't know. I'm just supposing they could be new emails even if the text has already been reviewed (which should have been the case if the emails were sent to the private server).

 

[shem935]

Bet your ass. We're still talking about benghazi to some extent now.

 

[rjinaz]

I have ONE BEER in the fridge? oh man that will NOT do

I made some PST which is something I rarely do, because I ran out of booze and I needed something to deal with today. Totally worth it.

Haven't seen Adam in a while. He just say screw this day? I don't blame him.

 

[Boke1879]

We'll be talking about through her Presidency.

One thing this showed me. The GOP know the election is done. What they are doing is laying the groundwork to try and not legitimize her Presidency. They want the story to be her Presidency was all about investigations and scandals.

We are living through one of the many possibilities... of the Continuum Shift

But what made the sort of people who would be dramatically disgusted every time they hear the word "email" pledge support Hillary to in the first place? I don't buy that the people who would be turned off by this were ever going to vote for her in the first place.

I think there are people who were not at all thrilled with how she handled emailz but accepted the investigation was over and also really hate Trump and were willing to vote for her. But would be turned off if they are under the impression that she is "under investigation" again and could be hauled off to jail after she's elected President.

Which is why it's super super duper important to clarify that this has very little to do with her and she is in no danger of anything.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

We don't know. I'm just supposing they could be new emails even if the text has already been reviewed (which should have been the case if the emails were sent to the private server).

And on a quick recap, when did they turn over all the emails that started to come out last fall?

Seems weird it took a year and a half to find these additional things. Carlos Danger should watch his back.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

I'm not sure how republicans leaking a letter from someone means that person is worthy of being fired?

If every person in this thread would know Chaffetz would do this, why aren't we holding the director of the FBI to a standard that people on a video game forum could meet?

 

[DrForester]

It seems clear to me he didn't intend for the letter to be leaked. That's my speculation but everything he did points to that. He didn't notify her because he didn't expect her to need to react to it.

I don't think Comey is that stupid. He knew it would be immediately leaked.

Are there any ways to self induce a coma, perhaps for 10 days or so?

I think she turned over the server sometime last summer (like 2015)? Weiner has only been under investigation I think since August.

they were investigating Weiner and found them.

 

[tbm24]

So it's looking more and more like the angle the media is going to take is that somewhere in these emails will be HILLARY admitting to her evil plot to compromise classified information.

I felt optimistic about staying ingrained in the political media machine up to election night, now I'm starting to feel a bit sick by it.

This is related to the computer (apparently) they seized recently as part of the sexting investigation, which is only a few weeks old.

I agree, it's important to get out in front of this and clarify that the story is itsfuckingnothing.gif.

Perhaps the erroneous "investigation" headline will do damage, but if someone is impressionable enough to be swayed by that alone then the explanation of what is actually going on should away them again.

 

[rjinaz]

Is it more consuming than the previous games? I like that about them mind you. I always do marathon.

 

[Qwerty710710]

At least we aren't talking about oppo anymore.

 

[royalan]

If every person in this thread would know Chaffetz would do this, why aren't we holding the director of the FBI to a standard that people on a video game forum could meet?

I agree

 

[whyamihere]

Huge drop by everyone today in Iowa - R, D, I. All by similar amounts. Weird.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

I don't know if it would have happened anyway, but since I work in the same building a polling location in Texas, it seemed like a huge influx of voters came in after the news broke around midday.

 

[Sibylus]

Yes. Civ V's systems with even more depth and interplay, with new ones on top.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

THE OPPO IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

you're welcome for the new thread title everyone

 

[rjinaz]

Yes. Civ V's systems with even more depth and interplay, with new ones on top.

Sweet. I got to get a PC slightly better than what I have now. Apparently though it ran V fine, VI ain't having it. Really which they would do these on consoles.

 

[mjp2417]

It feels really robust at launch in a way that 5, for example, did not, so yeah it's pretty consuming.

 

[kevin1025]

CNN is treating this like it's campaign ending.

Am I missing something?! Are they seeing between lines no human eye can see?

I guess Clinton's the new CNN punching bag. Keep that horse race alive.

 

[PInk Tape]

I wish this thread was still talking about oppo because this email shit makes me wanna drink bleach.

 

[shem935]

If every person in this thread would know Chaffetz would do this, why aren't we holding the director of the FBI to a standard that people on a video game forum could meet?

I'm not sure how his actions would have changed if he had thought that? Sure his letter was vague, most likely because he just got the info and wanted to keep them appraised of the situation. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who wouldn't do his job in the face of Chaffetzs stupidity. But again this is all moot speculation. Hopefully we get a better idea of what's going on later.

 

[Qwerty710710]

First case of voter fraud everybody.

Thank god:

@wccubison: Guilford is taking these new EV hours to heart. Over 20k voters today, only 2k below yesterday w/ hours to go myguilford.com/wp-content/upl

Yes its CNN

 

[Joeytj]

Yes, that they need raitings and are making as much as $100 million more thanks to election coverage.

 

[Nafai1123]

Yeah....I think I need to bail from media coverage for now. CNN is just freakin me out.

 

[Officerrob]

Kellyanne Conway is EVERYWHERE

 

[Loudninja]

Why do people here even watch CNN.

 

[Xis]

WaitMate?

(This election has me thinking about WaitMate a lot...)

 

[rjinaz]

Oh Conway figured out a new way to spin this. This is Clinton's second investigation of the year! claps.

 

[kevin1025]

Yes its CNN

Yes, that they need raitings and are making as much as $100 million more thanks to election coverage.

Very good points.

I think I'll just avoid them. It's just jarring to see it switch so suddenly from one position to another.

 

[Loudninja]

Didnt work when it was fresh not going to work now.

 

[wumster3000]

Probably old people will be the one to let it effect them. I can't see young voters being turned off by this. Old people, yes.

 

[smurfx]

Why do people here even watch CNN.

i tuned in and saw a roundtable with corey lewandowski and immediately shut it off. fuck this i'm gonna spend the weekend thinking about baseball. i'm out until monday.

 

[Diablos]

Why do people here even watch CNN.

Um tons of people watch CNN like people who aren't politically savvy.

This could change the entire race. Not just the Senate. Even if it takes 5 days for facts to come out we are OUT OF TIME. That it even leaves lingering doubts about her is just awful. The timing could not be worse. This is a nightmare.

Republicans are enthused now too. Dems are confused and concerned. Everything just got turned upside down.
