OxySnake posted:No doubt. But at the same time he could answer questions as to Trumps request of him for the Russian investigation. Either way it could be a huge testimony. (It will probably be nothing major) Kinda wish Comey would fire back some questions of his own. "Last time I sent a letter to Chaffetz about Hill's email, he leaked it. Why? Also, what the gently caress is up with Nunes trying to scuttle the house investigation." "What's the deal with airline peanuts"

Trump killing the Tea Party by being too blatant about their agenda would unironically be his greatest achievement. He is the Monkey's Paw wish the Tea Party made 8 years ago.

Yeah, wait, if it wasn't all of that, how did he finally lose their support?

Oxxidation posted:As someone who's related to a whole bunch of evangelicals by marriage I'm comfortable saying that they're some of the foulest, most hateful hypocrites on the planet. That's what happens when you believe everything BUT being a racist rear end in a top hat is a mortal sin. You're too scared to do anything resembling fun or have a real personality because you'll go to hell if you do.

Rigel posted:My guess is that members of the military are weirdly more knowledgable about random foreign situations and how our national interests are being advanced and protected. Last year the closest my crazyass brother (who was in the army) came to thinking about possibly not supporting Trump was when I told him about some dumbass thing Trump said about Serbia. i imagine it's a lot like when employees lose faith in their superior's ability to both understand and operate. like, the quickest way to lose a team is to prove without a doubt that you have no understanding of their job functions, the nature of the business, etc. which is exactly what trump does with each foreign policy tweet.

I think that's going to be one of the better parts of the hearing. Comey's not going to say anything damaging to the case against Trump. He's to smart to throw info out there that shouldn't be. I'm sure he won't hesitate to slap down the various committee member who want to use him as a prop however.

Not directly Trump related, but tangentially related to the russian hacking stuff. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/russian-state-hackers-use-britney-spears-instagram-posts-to-control-malware/ quote:Russian State Hackers Use Britney Spears Instagram Posts to Control Malware Just goes to show you the level of hilarious obfuscation involved in state sponsored hacking.

Last year the closest my crazyass brother (who was in the army) came to thinking about possibly not supporting Trump was when I told him about some dumbass thing Trump said about Serbia. Not weirdly. The US military spends tons of time abroad. Average citizens are isolated from most of the rest of the world. They aren't. They are also privy to information we either don't know or information that isn't widely known with more nuance. Often from having been there. He also undermines and occasionally endangers them. When he spoke to Duerte for example he revealed that there were several subs near his country. He did this because he wanted to brag. He couldn't keep his mouth shut. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles-submarines-idUSKBN18K15Y  Also remember that while the military is conservative it's not conservative through and through. The military is largely apolitical.
