The F.B.I. informed Congress on Sunday that it has not changed its conclusions about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state, removing a dark cloud that has been hanging over her campaign two days before Election Day.

James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, said in a letter to members of Congress that “based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton.” - NY Times

Don’t worry, though. Trump’s still finding plenty of ways to screw himself over. Apparently, since Trump has never used a computer in his life, he’s been lashing out about “the campaign’s expenditure of tens of millions on digital ads, skeptical that spots he never sees could have any effect.”

In The New York Times today, a campaign report revealed that Trump’s Twitter account has officially been handed over to less volatile fingers in these crucial final days:

The contrasts pervade his campaign. Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.

Woof, Comey. I could write a lot on this, but he probably needs to resign. I don't think he can control the agents in the New York field office who started this whole shitshow.

He's out on his ass as soon as Hillary's hits her Oval Office chair anyway.

Hopefully we learn a LOT of lessons from this whole campaign on a whole lot of fronts, but something tells me we won't.

His position is untenable at this point. And it's his own fault so that's cool. He can be Trump TV's resident LAW AND ORDER expert (not the tv show, the fact that all liberals and minorities should be in jail)

How about a cop show with Giuliani. They can have motorcycles like Ponch and John.

New polling/voter turnout suggests Clinton's chances have improved over 3.5% in Florida and over 4.5% in Nevada over the last week. The tide seems to be turning the other way. Clinton wins Florida and it's basically over no matter what other battleground states Trump wins.

I think there'll be some questions and grumbling about Trump wasting time in Minnesota, etc. Whatever costs of flying there could have probably just kept him in an actual battleground state for another day or two.

The electoral map still seems awful tricky for Mr Trump.

At least one of Michigan and Pennsylvania is a hail mary too. Is this the rarely seen Madden down-by-a-lot style of presidential politics?

This always happens to other losing campaigns too. They go to a whole bunch of states they haven't polled well in and try to get any kind of support they can.

The only one the Clinton campaign went to was Arizona. That was a lost cause.

btw if you are going to be around on election day/night join us all in the chatroom and if you haven't signed up before send any mod your email via pm or in the chat thread to get invited. The election night chats are always insaaaane.

Sometimes I wonder how folks like Dr. Tom would be voting this year. Then I remember he once called Al Franken an ugly Jew, so I can probably guess.

Can't wait to have a talk with my mom about condoms in porno. California everyone!

So is it too soon to predict right-wing media's excuses for why Trump lost?

- He wasn't a "real" conservative

- electoral college is a conspiracy

I didn't like that article because it played to my fears suggesting Trump may win.

Vegas has Clinton at 1 to 5.5 odds for winning; 4 to 1 for Trump. That looks pretty good to me, Vegas doesn't like to lose money so I'll trust them over some random, biased poll.

The #BlacklivesMAGA and the anti-government conspiracy theories explaining the deaths of Brother Malcolm and Dr. King make me scratch my head. It's like that theory of liberals going so far left they become super right wing, maybe that theory applies for conservatives too.
