ReidRansom posted:Yessss. If you think that the tapes don't exist, asking to see them is a no-risk move; it makes you look like a tough investigator without any possibility of actually hurting the party or the White House. Of course, if the tapes don't exist then not just coming out and saying that is one of the biggest, stupidest unforced errors of an administration chock full of unforced errors.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:My brain might be entirely broken but I just rewatched the questions and it almost kinda seems like trump thinks he is being asked "would you put comey under oath to make him pledge loyalty" when he agrees to the reporter saying "under oath" I noticed the same thing. He was definitely confused. ReidRansom posted:Yessss. Is this equivalent to a subpoena? Does the Whitehouse have to respond? It doesn't sound like it.

Mister Mind posted:In this fast-paced thread, this is way out of date, but God drat - NUKE OHIO. Yeah, this is pretty  . It's a good reminder of how much of an information bubble these people are in, though. They haven't watched the Lester Holt interview (or only saw out-of-context clips), they don't trust the mainstream media, and all the info they get is from social media, Breitbart, their friends and family members, etc. They aren't bad people, and they're not trying to be dishonest. They just...really are that incredibly ignorant.

Forget lying, though. Any committee is going to have its hands full just getting a coherent sentence out of his piss-addled brain. He's going to ramble worse than McCain, and by the time he finishes a sentence they'll have forgotten what question they asked him. ^ Yeah, this.

Surely at some point somebody must have done the math on how much more of their agenda they could have rammed through by now if not for Donnie constantly trying to burn everything to the ground, perhaps while looking meaningfully at Mike Pence. Maybe not so much that they'll actively gun for him, but enough that they've ceased to care if he forces their hand.

Cabbit posted:Surely at some point somebody must have done the math on how much more of their agenda they could have rammed through by now if not for Donnie constantly trying to burn everything to the ground, perhaps while looking meaningfully at Mike Pence. i think it's pretty naive to not consider the reality that the gop has had an ejection strategy for trump from the moment he won the nomination; they're waiting for the right time to receive as little blowback as possible hell even their most recent defense of him (lol he's just a silly citizen who doesn't know the rules!) is far from an actual defense. they've gotta recognize that and i can't help but consider the choice to go that route instead of, say, an actual defense pretty intentional.

In the sense that you are trying to convict the dog of being incapable of algebra, it can be very productive. Putting Trump under oath and asking questions would be a dream scenario. He can't handle it.
