SMG isn't a gimmick. There's a point when your arguments are so in depth and detailed and earnestly argued for such length that even if you're trying to do a Thing, it doesn't really matter. I don't know exactly where that point is but SMG passed it a long time ago.

You know, if this is true, it might actually explain Comey's actions without him just being a massive piece of poo poo.

Like, if he legit worries the new york guys really *were* a tremendous leak risk and/or might alter or mess with things...

It's also actually way worse than Comey just being a partisan hack.
Trump's now telling his rally crowd that 'we know with near 100% certainty' that 'five foreign intelligence agencies breached Hillary's server' and 'the FBI has all this information' but the DoJ won't let them release it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's someone in the FBI talking with the Trump campaign, even if it's mostly just telling him their own mad hunches.

He also praised Qadaffi-era Libya and pre-civil war Syria as good, stable countries before Hillary Clinton ruined them by causing the Arab Spring, but I guess that's par for the course for Trump now.

Trump is on stage in NC, he sounds absolutely awful, really hoarse and tired. He just told everyone this key foreign policy:

"We will stop trying to build foreign democracies, topple regimes, and race recklessly into situations that we have no right to be there, folks. We want strength in this country, we want to protect our country. Instead, our focus must be on keeping America safe and destroying ISIS, we have no choice on that, and on defeating radical Islamic terrorism. We will defeat it, and we will defeat it quickly."

So he's going to bring the troops home from the Middle East and put a stop to all foreign adventures, and also wage war in the Middle East to end all Islamic terrorism.

You say that like his base will find a contradiction in there.

Reading about Zizek (that video was my first time to hear his name) I guess what stood out to me is that there is a whole journal dedicated to criticism that his work is ambiguous and doesn't provide meaningful alternatives.

How are they finding out about this supposed hack now? They already investigated the server and said they couldn't find any proof (though there "may" have been because such hackers would be too good) that it was hacked.

Zizek is a rad dude who is often wrong, much like every other rad dude in history. His stupid "Elect Trump even though he's horrible because it would show Americans that anybody, not just political insiders, can get elected. Actually wait there's the supreme court to think about. Huh...." is just one of his dumber things. He's like craft brews. Just because useless hipsters obsess about him doesn't make him bad. And sometimes he makes a bacon-flavored gose, and that sucks. But this oatmeal stout is still great, yeah?

Yeah it's pretty cool that there's more than one literal actual real-world conspiracy trying to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming president and she'll still probably become president.

On the other hand these latest FBI schemes on the Clinton Foundation apparently have FOX News excited enough to claim she's about to be indicted again, so there's that too.
