Is Trump giving a speech right now so that he stays distracted and doesn't tweet?

I think the second big story of the day here is going to be McCain and how he needs to be put out to pasture

McCain's questions were honestly one of the most baffling things I have ever heard. I have no idea what he was trying to ask. Does he think it's somehow unfair that one investigation can be closed while another, completely unrelated investigation is ongoing? Does he think the FBI should be investigating Clinton for coordinating with Russia to sink her own campaign? What the gently caress was he getting at?

He was trying to get at that Comey was biased against Trump and for Clinton for the FBI investigation being finished last July but the Trump campaign investigation is ongoing. It was the dumbest point.

Rigel posted:Well, this is bad. Part of the calculation that the GOP might fail to get to 50 assumed that Dean Heller might want to continue being a Senator after 2018. If he's willing to sacrifice his career for the AHCA, that makes it easier to find the votes. Repeal and go gently caress yourself.

For some reason McCain made me wonder, if Palin had run in 2016 instead of Trump, would she have won?

Throwing Turtles posted:I'm pretty sure that Comey really didn't know what McCain was rambling about and didn't want to commit a really wrong answer. If you watched Comey's body language closely, with McCain he leaned way in and squinted while McCain spoke. He didn't have to do this with anybody else. It was the same sort of body language a person has when they're trying to understand what a crazy person at the back of a bus is ranting about. This is not coincidental.

SocketWrench posted:Reagan was the same. Towards the end of his run he was a babbling mess of senile Consider that Trump is only 2 years younger than McCain was at what would have been the start of his term, but makes no effort to take care of himself, was much stupider to start with, and doesn't have competent handlers to deal with his oncoming dementia like Reagan did. If Trump somehow wins a second term, covfefe won't even be the start of how senile his tweeting will get

Someone said earlier CNN had a WH source say Trump was thoroughly losing his poo poo during the testimony.

McCain didn't even seem happy to be there. If it wasn't senility I'd guess blackmail. lol probably he's got a ton of Russian money backing him too but until recently thought he was the only one in so deep.

You said that you were certain that this would happen within one week with no substantial changes as a part of prearranged kabuki between Ryan, McConnell, and iirc the CBO. That was delusional, yes.
