hannity is insanely gullible - i can't remember who it was but someone tweeted hannity with the following convo:

somebody: "hey DM me i have a hot scoop on clinton's emails or whatever"

hannity over DM: "really? what is it?"

somebody over DM: "you're an rear end in a top hat lol"

hannity over DM: "gently caress you"


Now I kind of want to see if he'll bite if I offer him "documents" about something juicy but are really just photocopies of my balls.

May as well do it right before prime time, so when prime time hits it's still fresh and the most eyes will be in it.

Yeah, my only issue with if what he did is legally treason under the US Constitution is that he took the bribe from Turkey, not ISIS. His goal was assisting Turkey, not ISIS, but to assist Turkey he did assist ISIS. Which one controls?


I think that was support in general. The 21% is his "strong support."

The argument could be made that especially he, as a general, would know that in this instance helping Turkey directly worked against US interests.

What? Plenty of people had cable in 1993. We're not talking about the 70's or early 80's and there were 24 hour news networks. The only major thing lacking was easy access to the Internet. It was either 1993 or 1994 when The Simpsons first mentioned the Internet on TV and 94/95 is when it really started taking off for home use.

CNN was around in 1993 and covered Waco as it happened. You can find footage on YouTube.

Surprisingly, there's only short little clips of OKC in YouTube, mainly from local news stations.

Good thing someone's here to protect donald trump's child as he tries to cut literally trillions of dollars from every service that helps children that exists, which would inevitably result in the deaths of countless children.

I guess I could have just said "I hope that the things Trump is trying to do to other people happens to him and his family instead"

Seriously gently caress Trump and everyone related to him by choice or by blood, I hope every bad thing they want for other people happens to them instead. It won't, so don't worry, you don't have to valiantly defend them. He'll grow up fabulously wealthy on the backs of you and everyone else, even though someone made a mean post on the internet!

Say whatever you want about Trump. Hell, I'll be there with you. But Barron Trump is a child who has done literally nothing bad to you or anyone else. He had no choice who his father is, and he can't be held responsible for his father's decisions. I shouldn't have to explain this to you.

So is this handing over and confirming the validity of Comey's memos?

It seems like these investigations have way too much momentum behind them now for Trump to keep deflecting. He's bleeding support even from his diehard zealots.

Also certainly not helping that he regularly fucks up all of his other duties outside the investigations.

His diehard zealots would support him even if Trump broke into their houses in the middle of the night and made them watch as he killed their families in front of them. Im only half kidding.

So can Trump just say something along the lines of "There are no tapes I was kidding about that lol" and thats it? Like it seems that the only way to prove or disprove the existence of these tapes is the Trump admitting they exist. And if there's anything on there that will get him in a load of trouble then why would he admit they exist? The fact that he doesn't deny it makes me think that there might be something on them that makes Comey look bad, hence Trump's tweet threat.

Either way he looks bad. Either he has to come out and admit there are no tapes, or he releases them, or he refuses to release them under subpeona and gets held in contempt of Congress

This Mueller firing talk has me spooked. Their whole narrative since Comey's hearing has been some real doublethink poo poo, spinning it like it actually *cleared* Trump of suspicion. Makes me worry all this plus Sessions going in to testify has been to build this narrative that the matter is sealed and there doesn't need to be a special counsel.

If he fires Mueller, he may as well tattoo "IM GUILTY" across his forehead, and I think some of the reps from Trump+5 and less districts, if they haven't already, will really start to feel the heat and the pressure will turn up from Congress. All but his most frothing rabid supporters will be convinced something is rotten.
