There's a way to prove the Comey story is effectively over. Google Trends

[Fahrenthold451]

Let's face it. We live in our intense little bubble as hyper-partisans. My arms hurt from holding my phone and checking stories. I think it's safe to say that we are pretty much out of our minds.

So what is everybody else thinking about? We don't have to speculate. Google has a way to show you exactly what is going on and Google says that the Clinton/Comey fiasco is over.

Click on the link below and you will see the Comey spike on Friday. Internet traffic for Clinton searches is now back to normal. You'll have to scroll down a bit and wait for the graph to load, but you'll see it.

So what are people looking at? Google will tell you that as well. It's probably going to blow your mind. So the next time that you panic about what Anderson Cooper or Brian Williams are talking about, just know that nobody else seems to give much of a damn. At all. Although there is some good news to follow.

The top stories trending right now in the USA...
1. Chicago Bears/Jay Cutler
2. Phoenix Suns
3. Rick James?

Yes, there will be more drips. Yes, we will freak out more. But we might be mostly alone in our emotional discomfort.

There's some good news, though. The highest ranking political search seems to be related to Trumps secret Russian serving server.

Yes, the talking heads aren't talking about Trump's Alpha server. But of the people who give a damn about politics, it's the top search.


By the way, is there any way Brian Williams can stop saying "Um?" My goodness, he says that word 70 times in 30 minutes.

1. Thank you. And yes, I am out of my mind.

For many things. Among them, trying to explain to folks here that most people who vote for democrats or even consider voting for democrats care more about policies that will improve their lives & the lives of others than they do about stupid emails.

[Iliyah]

2. Seems like majority of Americans have moved on . .

A group of people I spoke with said they think the GOP paid cha-ching to James C.

5. Part of me doesn't want it to be "over."

I realize that the best thing is for the story just to go away, but I also want to see it (and Comey) thoroughly discredited. I want there to be a clear message that anyone who peddles these phony scandals - either as a main proponent or a mere stooge - knows that they will be called out for it. Letting it fade away avoids that outcome.

It's time to fight back once and for all.

6. I'm ready for it to go away now. Need to sleep.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Fair point.

My productivity (and ability to stay awake during the day) have definitely suffered.

9. Yes-that is the NEW Comey story, and it involves Trump, Russian banks and servers,

and blackmail, for starters. The Comey nexus is that he has had this information for MONTHS, and it has national security implications that are quite serious.

That email pancake has been flipped, and it's Trump dancing on the griddle now.

https://www.engadget.com/2016/10/31/trump-russia-servers-alfa-bank-report/


But wait--there's more:

So this is what Trump wakes up to Tuesday. An allegation that Comey was covering for him. An allegation that the FBI is poking around his former campaign manager’s Russia relationships. And most damning of all, a specific allegation of exactly how he cheated the government he purports to want to run of hundreds of millions of dollars, through a technique that he seems to have used more brazenly than anyone.

14. Thanks Harry!

Got in one more shot on the way out. A boxer to the end.

[Egnever]

15. OMG the Engadget article.

Most people wont understand that article but what the holy fuck?

If Endgaget has their info right that is mind blowing stuff. Like make the country crazy kind of stuff.

Hmm are we trying to get into a war with Russia?

Foer's report continues as follows: The Trump-Email.com domain stopped functioning on September 23rd, shortly after The New York Times reached out to Alfa Bank about the situation. On September 27th, the Trump Organization established a new host name, trump1.contact-client.com, which communicated with that very same server through a new route. The first attempt to look up the new host name came from Alfa Bank. The only way Alfa Bank could have learned the new host name would be through direct contact with whoever changed it, experts said.

That is my head exploding.

22. this comment is what got me

They are just starting firstly, And until they have their hands on the machines they won't know secondly,
Thirdly: No one sets up a dummy email server ^twice^

The commenter is exactly right about this. Why set up a dummy email server twice? Not only that, it's obvious by the action that there was SOMETHING going on with the first server, or why would it have been shut down? We've already seen where Trump and his organizations routinely destroy email and digital evidence that would be considered harmful to him, in the matter of the many, many lawsuits that have been filed against him over the years.

10. Will the media

Ignore all this? I hope not...

[triron]

11. Rachel Maddow

isn't ignoring it.

[vadermike]

12. Great

But what about CNN etc?

[Matthew Rose]

20. Too wordy,

if it's longer than "Clinton's email", they'll have nothing for it.

[lillypaddle]

13. And I am out of my mind, too

The 8th can't get here soon enough, and I don't even want to contemplate what will happen if it doesn't bring us good news.

I've turned into a witch with anyone who doesn't agree with "our" side (me). Goddess, give me strength!

16. K & R

17. KnRnThanks

18. it won't be "over" until cable news starts covering something else

its up to Team H/Dems to change the narrative, by unloading something on Trump that the media will run with, which is what they should've done in the first place in anticipation of Comey's stunt so that it would've been buried and far less of a story (just as Wikileaks was buried by the Access Hollywood tapes).

[TrekLuver]

26. I agree..it's a matter of time until the next story breaks. The good thing is most "normal" people

do not watch cable news....especially to the extent that we all do.

19. GOTV

[Hortensis]

21. Highest ranking political search Trump's secret server?

Excellent! Thanks, Fahrenthold451.

[Divine Discontent]

23. I'm Rick James!

What did the five fingers say to the face?

Smack!

Cold-blooded!

28. Nobody has had a post that I am aware of on the death of Tammy Grimes.

This place is slipping big time.

This is more important to me than reading about the non-scandal dumps by FBI rectum Comey.

[Madam45for2923]

29. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
