It's just too hard to fight when the Republicans have such an effective propaganda network. And it's not like they're trying to feed it to the average person, they're feeding it to the oldest people and the dumbest people; the 2 demographics who are least likely to critically think about what they're being told.

Mr. Nice! posted:No the AG and DAG letters specifically said that Comey overstepped his authority by saying there would be no prosecution and that the case was closed. It was wrong to have a press conference about any of it, and these actions erode the faith in the office. Then I read a bogus story on twitter. Good to know.

I would love it if the average republican's hate for Clinton outweighs their love of Daddy T. Hell, this should scare the poo poo outta the moderates. Trump just fired a dude who gambled his career to get Trump in. Comey was a right party guy.

orange juche posted:It's a simple message but lmao it won't stick because trumpsters won't let it stick and noone opposing Trump on the republican side has enough guts to make it happen. The Trumpsters I keep around on facebook just to see the crazy are already buying the bullshit hook, line, and sinker. "All you liberal snowflakes were screaming for Comey to be fired and now he is and you're still not happy. You'll never give Trump a chance will you? Even when he makes a deal to prove he's everyone's president you still blame him for it! Just no pleasing you is there? " I'm not even sure it's possible for Donnie to do anything that would make his base give him up. The hardcore redhat MAGA warriors worship him and see even this as a glorious achievement of an Adonis-like figure. Republican congress critters will do everything possible to skitter away from confronting him because if they do the shrieking white hot sphere of pure rage that is the rotten, beating heart of the party will call for their blood. Political survival is all they care about. I don't ever see salvation coming from that corner. Even if Congress did decide to turn on him, unless it causes an out-and-out civil war within the camps of the GOP that shatters the entire party it might not be worth it. Realistically the only way to win was to never play the game. That option's gone right out the window and everyone is already at the table so now I find myself wondering if miring the administration in controversy and crippling everyone with scandals might be best long term? If they can wash their hands of the Trump stink and pretend they never meant it they'll go right back to what got them where they are now and the next person to whip out the Trumpian-authoritarian playbook may not be a hideously incompetent, dementia addled hate mango.

Two Finger posted:Pence is gonna be terrible. Like really goddamned terrible, because he's your standard issue god-fearing R. Yeah, the much overstated efficacy of Pence would be at ends with the fact that the dude whose coat-tails he rode into the oval office was successfully impeached. This current crisis seems like a real tripwire for me. If nothing happens, and I really don't expect it to, then I'm gonna go after that Canadian law degree. I can fully understand the reason why so many American politicians at the turn of the 20th century were hesitant to adopt the role of world power. Americans are too busy for that.

Talk about bad timing. I mean it's entirely innocuous, it's proper for the POTUS to meet with foreign emmissaries - even if its more properly the job of the Secretary of State, it's hardly unprecedented. But maaaaan what lovely timing.

50% of me believes that Donnie is just totally oblivious to everything and will simply fire anyone who says anything bad about him, simply because they said anything bad about him. If they're not on his side and/or can be controlled, they get dealt with. 25% of me believes that there actually IS something to this Russia thing and that Donnie knew about it and everything, the whole way. 25% of me believes that Donnie is scared as hell because he legitimately has no idea if he's russian-infested or not, because he never cared.

There won't be a resignation. There won't even be a special prosecutor. GOP reps will sit on their hands, conservative media will fundamentally misrepresent the news, and all the noise and fury from the left will amount to nothing. This will embolden Trump and his inner circle to further erode the foundations of liberal democracy. This will get worse before it gets better.

Office Pig posted:Yeah, about that... Maybe I misheard, but the reporter went to ask a question like "does the coney firing cast a shadow over..." and he interrupted and either was misinterpreting the question as "are you asking me if he was fired? You're kidding." As if to say "yeah it's common knowledge he was fired." Or he was asking the question "wait, was he fired?" Which I just can't imagine someone not knowing the comey got axed. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see him mocking our democratic norms, whatever they mean by that.

My takeaway is that Lavrov doesn't give much a poo poo about the perception of this, whatever his message to Trump might be. I only posted McDermott's particular tweet because it was the first one I came across with actual video.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:if hes screaming at tvs it's gonna come time that he says gently caress it all and takes his toys and goes home. once the gop is forced to turn against him. not because he lost, but because the crooked GOP was so tainted that they rejected the will of the people who are both the people that are the only real americans and his voters. I don't think so. I think he continues to get pissed off (because those idiots in the FAKE NEWS are too stupid to see that he's making America great again!) until he's impeached, strokes out, or gets reelected in '20. Meanwhile, Pence is doing his best to stay out of the spotlight so if poo poo does hit the fan, he can still walk out onto the red carpet looking presidential.
