Wow, I'm surprised you went through all those. I think it should be kept in mind that this is almost a comprehensive list of all the emails I've seen cited as suspicious and most importantly that the podesta emails are in the 10s of thousands.
I think that the "kids are the entertainment" one should at least be a lot lower if not completely removed. I wrote a comment about it:
Maybe you haven't really come across it but saying "the kids are the entertainment" or something like that is actually a common phrase. I was so sure of that I pulled these links from doing a word-for-word search for these search terms: "the kids will be the entertainment" and "the kids are the entertainment".
If you Ctrl-F "entertainment" for each of those links you will find it used in almost the exact same way the podesta email uses it. The pizzagate interpretation still could be right but I think the fact that it really is a common phrase makes it very unlikely.
Edit: Also the Dominos emails are all by the same person, Herb Sandler, who has a daughter Susan. I commented about the "dominos" emails using an email sent by Susan:
How would you interpret this email ? Is it a coincidence that dominoes is a game that comes in sets ? Would you refer to bdsm as a 'game' and that you would like to 'get a set'? Also there is no evidence for 'dominoes' being a code word for anything sexual or pedophilia related before pizzagate. Also this email was sent by a Susan from the Sandler center and a quick Google search shows that herb Sandler has a daughter Susan. So isn't the most likely explanation that they all played dominoes one night and they all just share that interest.
Dominoes on pasta or pizza is still completely unexplainable unless it's code for something. The etymology of the words "Domino" and "Dominoes" is the same as "Dominate", i.e. master/lord. Also, before all of these emails, Dominoes pizza created this ad:
I commented about how the dominos thing actually isn't unusual:
An analogy I heard was something like: "Do you think I would do better playing football on water or gatorade?" Like she's joking saying do you think my dominoes game will be better if I've just eaten pizza or pasta? This is the natural interpretation I've seen most people come to and I would be willing to bet if you did a random survey of people almost no one would be confused by it.
And
Remember these are older people they joke in corny ways sometimes. Although I got the gender wrong it's not a she its actually Herbert Sandler from the Sandler foundation. He's 85 years old so you have to imagine what kinds of things your grandfather might say not you ( depending how old you are). Also this would be why they're playing dominoes, have you ever volunteered at a nursing home?
And yes thanks for that edit. I looked it up and I think that is a real stretch. But Dominos didn't reject it after a public outcry, they didn't even create it. It was created by an ad agency and they rejected it before it was ever seen by the public.

EDIT: I should note that Dominoes rejected the ad, but only after the public outcry...
