Anyone else get monkey tilted whenever comey pearl clutches about Russian election meddling? Comey's announcement right before the election about the email investigation swung the election way more than any russian meddling IMO

the only path to impeachment is to vote dem in 2018

I disagree. I think you may be forgetting just exactly how much micro-targeting was going on, possibly thanks to assistance from florida repubs

You're sealioning against your own cause at this point.

I think the "hero to the US" would be if there were ever a leaker who leaked his tax returns. Just one peek at the right pages and he could be slam dunked out of office.

You're so intent on making up lies about what other people think I don't even know what subtle cutesy point you think you're making. But if you think Comey laid out a case for obstruction today, you're ****nuts crazy. You need Republicans to get on board for impeachment. Nothing Comey said today leads me to believe they'll be willing to do that. If anything, they tried to skewer his testimony that I thought was surprising even for Republicans.

JFC Gowdy is replacing Chaef****er

Yes, you do know that name from 187 BENGHAZIIIIIIIII hearings

laying out a case for obstruction and getting repubs on board for impeachment are two very separate things

By that standard there is no such thing as obstruction. You're getting gaslighted.

This has to be the stupidest, most disingenuous description of the situation we have here. My eyes literally crossed in anger when I read this because I know that so many ****ing morons like this idiot are out there believing this same bull****.

**** this "respectful discourse" we're supposed to engage in. Idiots like this need to be told they are idiots. They won't listen to reason anyway - they just cover their ears and go "nah nah, we won, you lost, MAGA, Trump, lalalala"

Blago was on the apprentice and was clearly the dumbest person on that show of all time. He couldn't do basic tasks. Trump can at least operate a TV remote.

Seriously tho, Trump has already violated multiple constitutional laws. There's nothing he can do that'll make them turn on him ever.

Flynn lied about being an agent of Turkey while taking policy action about matters having to do with Turkey. That's not a ****ing process crime!

Sen. Richard Burr is running the Senate's probe into contacts between Russia and the Trump campaign. But he also was an adviser for Trump's campaign, which raises questions about his impartiality.
No, it does not raise questions. It answers the question.

"Is Burr impartial?" - "He was an adviser to Trump's campaign, therefore no."

Nono, there's no need for all this analysis.

Because unless your boy was lying again, there are TAPES.

if those "tapes" don't exonerate donald, i can guarantee someone has tried to "destroy" them

Afaic the standard for impeachment OR implementing article 25 has long past! IOW there's way enough right now to oust this guy. But you NEED Republican cooperation at some point and I don't see that EVER coming. Do you? Trump got one thing right during the campaign... He could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and come out of unscathed.

As usual, he had it backwards. Someone needs to shoot him on 5th Avenue.

The GOP is spineless. They will jump off the Trump bandwagon as fast as they jumped on it in the first place. He's nothing more than an useful idiot to them. There is a line where at some point they will cut him loose.
06-08-2017 , 05:57 PM
i ****ing love that trump is president for less than a month and he's already like, "hey fbi director, you owe me one on this.. remember??"

and the fbi director is too stunned by that non sequitur to say, "you just got here. wtf are you talking about?"

That's what I originally thought. Watch the clown in the center ring while we dismantle ACA, kick millions off health insurance, take away meals on wheels for the elderly, and give more tax breaks to the wealthiest .1%.

But they could still do all this without Trump and under a president Pence. In fact, couldn't a case be made that they could facilitate their agenda easier by disposing of Trump now? Maybe not and they still need him as a distraction. I honestly don't know any more. I thought the Republicans didn't like the idea of a president Trump and were dragged kicking and screaming to get behind him after the primaries. I don't understand why they are all so keen to stand behind and back this mealy lying piece of **** now.

So instead of giving a **** about the President's unseemly behavior with a bunch of crimes and/or covering up for stuff related to a foreign enemy's attack that we don't know about yet, more than half the government decides to focus their efforts on the FBI Director's strange reaction to being stunned. Stunning.
