And who are the usual suspects and what's their relative contribution (did a sampling throughout the year). DFF and eric a blair dominated in the first half of the year but in recent months--and likely the explosion of post over the past couple of months has probably been largely due to the back and forth between DiscoGary and Flagpole.

3.4% - eric a blair

3.3% - Drink F*** Fight

2.1% - Fat Hurts

2.1% - Flagpole

1.9% - Trollminator

1.7% - LL

1.4% - DiscoGary

1.4% - pop_pop_version 2.whatever

So that list consists of 2 pro Trump posters and 6 anti Trump.

Not necessarily conservative vs liberal or Republican vs Democrat, but they mostly line up that way.

There are a ton of pro Trump posts by people switching user names often that skew the percentages.

I do think that list is of 8 distinct people based on how they each write.

This thread seems to be missing representation of regular Republicans who do not like Trump or at least have a lot of problems with his messaging.

Or does everyone simply follow and support their party?

There are Republicans congressman who speak out against Trump but no Letsrun Republican posters, it seems.

The FBI did not sabotage Hillary's campaign, they saved it. She clearly broke several laws and should have been prosecuted for gross negligence in handling secret material. They conspired to exonerate her, and they did before even interviewing her. Comey apparently thought a public explanation was necessary for such corruption, so he went public and told everyone that Hillary was guilty, but that they would not be prosecuting here.

Democrats are not held accountable, just as I said many times. Neither Hillary nor Obama were held accountable for 8 years.

The Clinton campaign colluded with the FBI and Russia to create the phony dossier which was used to monitor the Trump campaign, with the ultimate intention of finding something that would impeach Trump and undo the election. Nothing has been found, because they leak everything to hurt Trump and if something was found we would know about it already.

The Obama deep state is engaged in a coup. Your media is lying to you.

It doesn't have to be DiscoGary. I am genuinely interested in how people who believe in this FBI conspiracy to wrongfully oust Trump at all costs make sense of the fact that the FBI essentially sabotaged the Clinton campaign leading up to the election. The FBI had the dossier long before the election. They had other sources indicating Trump campaign ties to Russia before the election. Yet, the only information they chose to share with the public was the Clinton emails nothingburger. And you think they were Obama cronies who were in the tank for her? How does that work?

Here is some more economic news that is sure to trigger the lib echo chamber. The economy to grow at a 5.4% GDP rate in the first quarter. Boom!

You know, this creates a mixed bag of emotions for me. I'm glad that I'm right, but being right on stuff like this gets old after a few decades. I'm more dissapointed that I can not convince our liberal friends why this stuff happens. Kenyanesian economics does not grow the economy and it didn't under Obama. Supply side works, lowering taxes works, the Laffer curve is real, reducing regulations works, capitalism works, free markets work, trickle down works. We are watching it happen in real time.

Liberals will credit Obama after predicting Armageddon if Trump won. How can their minds do that? It's surreal.

When will credit be given where credit is due?

You completely ignored the point of contention. Comey's explanation for not charging Clinton isn't what I referred to.

[Although your expert legal opinion on why this was the wrong decision ("I read the law!") is much appreciated.] His recommendation to not charge her occurred in July of 2016. The letter regarding additional emails pertinent to the private server case (which was false) was sent to Congress at the end of October 2016. The implication of that letter was that Clinton might be guilty of something after all, and it was a huge turning point in the election. Why would the FBI have sent THAT letter if they were desperate for Clinton to win? Why would they have investigated her at all, for that matter?

If the Clinton campaign and the FBI had the dossier created for the specific purpose of destroying Trump (again, you ignore that Steele's work was initially paid for by the Washington Free Beacon, and that the dossier was not the source that ignited the Trump investigation. British intelligence alerted the US of suspicious activity regarding Trump and Russia as far back as 2015, and drunk Papadopoulos spilled the beans to an Australian agent in May 2016), why wouldn't they have used it BEFORE the election instead of keeping it under wraps? This conspiracy makes no sense.

The "Obama Deep State" is not a real thing. The voices inside your head are lying to you.

Title 18 section 793(f) of Federal Law:

(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

The word "intent" which is seen in other parts of that law, is not seen here. Comey stated that she violated part 1 of this section, but said she had no intent, therefore no one should prosecute her. Intent was not needed for prosecution.

Comey lied. Justice died. The FBI DID conspire to let Hillary off the hook.

Gary - you are a simpleton if you think that is how law is interpreted. Can you prove gross negligence on her part?
