BREAKING: Comey "FBI is investigating links between the Trump campaign

[ApatheticAustrian]

as i said 1000 times before this is not about the question if this has influenced the election (i think it has, but so could have 38462843 other things cause of the close numbers)...but who did what, with whom, to which effect.

if the president and his campaign are connected...their own problem.

but.....won't happen anyway, cause republicans are stonewalling it to death.

Good. It was appropriate to investigate hillary and its appropriate to investigate trump.

     This. If there are questions, then they ought to be asked and answered.

not arguing, just criticizing for comey's timing and the different handling of email-gate and russia-gate.

why would clinton try to improve a country again which paid her service with nothing but hate, mockery and a technical loss against "a trump"?

[ApatheticAustrian]

The good news is that if this goes the full way, the Republicans won't recover for this for a decade at least.

like after the financial meltdown of 2008 and the iraq war and all the other bush scandals?

total OT but ofc gaming is much more mature today and is able to represent a much bigger audience, who likes many many many different products, from simple, classical gameplay purism to elaborated world and narratives and ofc, the more complec worldbuilding becomes, the more "reality" becomes part of gaming.

otherwise....using nate silver as kind of an archetype loser of 2016 is ironic, since he was among the most bullish on trump all the time.

I think gamergate was a big deal in the gaming world, but I don't think it had much spillover to the political world.

it did ..after all it gave us milo.

[ApatheticAustrian]

it wasn't big if you are not a "gamer" - in the sense of reading and following videogame debates and news on boards - but if you are somehow connected to nerd culture, it was hard to look away for months and months.

even if it would hurt politically, i would propose getting to the bottom of this.

in other news...manafort is getting into even more trouble with his putin connection and flynn hasn't even signed the ethic pledge of the trump campaign.
