The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 4808 - Politics and Economics

Guys, guys, he was just casually brushing his hair! No way to know if it was intentional or not, what is wrong with you?

This stupid crap makes our side look as dumb as trumpkins.

In before people are talking about the Coast Guard’s sex slaves hidden under a DC calzone shop.

She is not important. One would like to imagine government people who do stuff like go to SCOTUS hearings are intelligent serious people and not dip**** trolls, but that's not the way it is. This officer dude on tv may actually face negative repercussions instead of high fives from all the twerps in the Trump administration. And his life is as serious to him as her's is to her.

**** her and anybody who sticks up for her hateful ass (including you), using her daughter's tragedy to advance immigration policy that 1) is counterproductive to america's economic interests and 2) wrongly targets and villifies an entire race of people

Um, moron. I’m lecturing the guy taking the unfunny shot at me after I already admitted I was wrong. Congrats though. Virtue signal for the day complete.

Big difference between you and I is I guarantee you have not admitted you were wrong on this forum one time. It’s not egg on my face, it’s being a resonable adult who looks for additional evidence and when presented it admits they were mistaken.

Yeah it was hilarious and admitting you were wrong doesn't grant you immunity from future jokes at your expense, and also no one thinks the way you acted in that thread (calling others Trumpkins and Pizzagaters) was the behavior of a "reasonable adult"

LOL this revisionist history

Yeah, Clovis was right. The woman at the hearing was making an actual OK sign over a glass of water or something. You could even see her mouthing ok at the time, I believe.

Solid guarantee there, bud! Remember what Fly said? You just can't stop being wrong. Why should anyone take your posts seriously when you're giving zero effort to even trying to improve your state of constantly ****ing up?

This is where you would call yourself a Trumpkin and Pizzagater for being so stupid, right?

Part of moving on means accepting some future jokes at your expense. Anyone who has ever done anything embarrassing and has ever had a friend knows this.

wat? no. the first time she did it discretely, and then she and her husband both were well aware of the criticism and backlash it caused online, because her husband wrote a whiny little screed on twitter about it later that night.

the fact that, after all that, she decided to go out of her way to flash an OK sign again the next day, whether she was really addressing somebody next to her or not, is proof positive that she is trolling and doing it intentionally

Seriously, y’all need to calm the **** down over these stupid hand signals:

Quote:

But Taylor Foy, a spokesperson for the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary, said there was another, innocuous explanation for this second “Okay” hand sign: the signal was aimed at a judiciary staffer who fulfilled a request for the judge.

Bash texted a staffer during the hearing “to request a water glass for the judge,” Foy said. “Once it arrived, she was simply communicating her thanks.”

In CSPAN’s archive of the hearings, Kavanaugh turns around and speaks to Bash at one point. There’s a coffee cup, but not water glass, on the desk. Bash and the man sitting next to her appear to discuss whatever the judge said as Bash texts on her phone. About a minute later, Bash looks straight ahead and appears to mouth the word “glass.” Then, she gives the OK hand sign.

Shortly after that, a water glass is brought to Kavanaugh’s desk.

No, it's pretty much the same thing. Dude realizes he's on camera, attempts to make it look like he's just resting his hand there, and awkwardly flashes the sign.

So you're seriously going to nitpick over what's more serious:

Republican lawyer at a SCOTUS hearing

or

Coast Guard employee during a deadly hurricane response

Yeah, Clovis, that makes allll the difference!

Maybe it's not too late to give Brownie another shot.

The White House considered replacing Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long, who is the subject of an ongoing Department of Homeland Security inspector general investigation, before Hurricane Florence hit the East Coast, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Citing a source familiar with the matter, the newspaper reported that senior White House officials discussed replacing Long in the past several days, but chief of staff John Kelly ultimately decided to leave Long in his role until the internal watchdog's final report was completed.

i watched it all happen in real time and i can use my brain to understand that this alt-right troll is trolling when she makes the OK sign for the 2nd time after the firestorm that the first one caused. millions of ways to communicate "ok" or "thank you" or "got it" or *thumbs up* to somebody and she makes the OK hand signal again. derrrrrpppppp

not sure why this is so difficult for some of you

someone show me where she mouthed "water". I thought it was pretty obvious she was fake yawning so she could put her hand up by her mouth in plain view. It did look rather fumbled though.
