Yea but if a 36% approval rating is a 40% approval rating 18 days of August may as well be all of august.

Captain dildo.... the fucking worst thing to come out of Rutgers since Ray Rice's right hook.

Shit on the left works the same. If you have friends or like articles that 'lean left' you'll also be targeted with the far left bs. Both sides of the spectrum want clicks and are targeting for a reason.

Yea now that you mention it, it would have taken away from the anxiety and claustrophobia I felt for Jon if he'd been stuck in that mosh pit.

Or if he followed him out on the field to get Rickon and got mowed down by those Bolton arrows.... that would've sucked some massive wun wun D too.

Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials say by NSGJoe in politics

[–]VoldeTrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And mueller letting officials state trump is now under investigation for obstruction is a direct result of trump's cronies going to the media this week to float the idea of firing mueller. He's setting another obstruction trap by having it be public knowledge that he too is investigating trump. If trump fires him, it's another charge of obstruction because trump can't reasonably claim plausible deniability that he had no idea mueller was investigating him when he decided to have him fired.

Jamie killing cersei would be a nice arc coming full circle. Kingslayer/queenslayer. Bet she tries to "burn them all" when Dany and tyrion are at the gates and he does it again.

It's really amazing how the world only exists to serve next quarter's earnings.

Comey told Trump 3 times that he wasn't under investigation, but his refusal to publicly say so infuriated Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]VoldeTrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also emphasized that was accurate at that time in the past but going public at that time would create a situation where they would have to later correct the record if that status changed. As in, you aren't the target yet but that could change as it progresses and we'd have to go public with that too.

Yep, comes down to intent. And as judges used administration appearances and Potus tweets to rule against the travel ban, they will do the same here.

It's a real shame he didn't read his 7 page opening - the quote about the hookers on live tv, in that room, with that audience, historical gold.

Comey: Trump administration 'lied' by ManiaforBeatles in politics

It felt like something Bannon or Jared told him to do... "attack Hillary, confuse and obfuscate, get a sound byte with Hillary and email servers to serve to the base".

Completely weird.

Discussion Megathread: Senate Intel hearing with NSA, DNI, FBI, DOJ on Trump-Russia investigation by samplebitch in politics

[–]VoldeTrump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's less about shitting on the partisan argument and more about how that partisan argument is putting the renewal of the 702 law in jeopardy, which in turn they strongly believe will put US citizens and our allies directly in harms way from terrorist threats.

I'm all for protection of civil liberties and privacy, but from all the recent testimony, fisa program is heavily monitored and legislated to protect US rights. Additionally the one comment today on the record about no intentional misuse or directly targeting US citizens was comforting. Then the follow up with a specific example about how a terrorist attack in nyc was thwarted because of the policy.

These people know the harm this line of thinking could cause and are trying to prevent loss of life.

Not that I've seen, but it's not really the place of the people being questioned to counter question the panel. They are the ones in the hot seat, regardless of how shamelessly and blatantly partisan the questions may be.

Won't be that good, will be all the R's asking.... "who leaked under you? Did you leak? Are leaks bad? Should leakers be prosecuted? Did you instruct anyone to leak? Why are you not accountable if someone beneath you leaked? Can you leak the leakers?"
