lol if the major thing people take away from this hearing is McCain's loopiness. I mean, the guy ha had it coming for years, but Jesus, that was painful to listen to.

Ok. The hearing is over. I'm going to leave this open for further discussion for a couple days. Things to update: Red and Blue response. Photos. Further breakdowns from lawyers. Trump's inevitable meltdown where he shits 40 tweets attacking everyone over this.

Most of the twitter response I am seeing under McCain in trending is to the effect of "Alzheimer's is a hell of a thing". And Brian Williams just through some serious shade at McCain.

Let's not forget Comey had a friend of his leak information to spur the process of assigning a special prosecutor.

A: I trust that Comey had the wherewithal to not put anything classified into that sort of memo, especially if it might be used as evidence. B: There's no sources and methods compromised from Comey passing said memo to a friend. C: who cares, Comey is now the leaker, Trump is the good guy for firing the leaker and didn't do anything wrong, hail satan

He leaked non-classified information that he documented himself....so what? Reading Facebook, Twitter and YouTube comments is making me want to kill myself. So many people defending Trump and saying insane poo poo like that McCain destroyed Comey. "WHERE'S THE EVIDINCE OF RUSSIA HACKING? I HAVEN'T SEEN IT!? COMEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HACK THE VOTE SO WHY DOES IT MATTER!?" The world needs a cleansing fire.

A co-worker's line of argument is that comey didn't have another person scrub the doc for classified, therefore he could have leaked classified (he didn't) and therefore reality winner needs to be let off the hook.

Reading the forums, I see plenty of "unless Russia personally changed a vote in the system, I don't care that they hacked private and government assets and effectively used US social media and news platforms to run a propaganda campaign and interfered in our election." It's pretty fuckin' dumb.

I didn't make that post as an indictment. I think it's fairly canny on his part to write memos knowing they may go public and to seek more investigative assets.

It's pretty fuckin' dumb. I honestly don't get people who think like this. Yes, no votes were changed but the fact a foreign country felt that it was ok to interfere and involve themselves in our political process is entirely hosed up on its own right. Going camping this weekend. I plan on getting good and drunk to try put this out of my mind.

Guy in another chat saying that trump fired comey for incompetence and after watching the testimony "that decision seems well founded. We will probably see a DOJ investigation into Comey soon". Also asserts that Comey is an attention seeker that just likes being on camera. gently caress the world, gently caress these people.

Well the Republicans got their marching orders. Comey is now an incompetent, law breaking, classified information leaking worthless Democrat attack dog who lied under oath and had no motivation besides obstruction of a perfectly innocent man who by the way was never under investigation just like he said. gently caress me sideways it's God drat amazing to watch people just rewrite reality in the minds of their willing stooges. Just etch-a-sketch that poo poo away and *poof* suddenly we were always at war with Eurasia and our chocolate rations are being increased.
