I was reading the bottom one too fast and saw Richard and then my eyes saw Spicer's name below and put it together in my head as Richard Spencer and nearly punched my monitor. xD
 
Why does GAF get all worked up when they know there won't be any fucking consequences? This happens in every Trump thread. The cheeto will get away; don't get your hopes up.

You're the same guy who says "well c'mon guys they could still blow this!" when your team is up by 100 points with 2 seconds left on the clock, right?
 
Ooh, the memo was "not an accurate description" of the discussion? Feel free to release those taps, man! They should settle this quickly.

The "it was a joke" excuse is extra hilarious since he asked everyone else to leave the room before saying it to Comey. Trump knew he shouldn't be talking like that.

The public doesn't care.

Wake up.

EDIT: Wow. That garbage list of garbagepeople.

Most of the public voted for Hilary. I'm pretty confident that the majority that voted Trump weren't die hard fans that's only a smaller minority, probably less than 25%. I'm confident in saying that he already turns most conservatives stomachs and will do so and an increased rate until he's gone. The ones that fall in line but aren't happy about Trump are going to be the first to turn. Hopefully enough to yell at their reps and get them to turn also.
 
Okay, but when has that actually manifested as anything lately.

If we went by polls we would have Shenmue 4,5,6 already.

Well, it would be kind of hard to manifest itself into something, since there hasn't been any elections since Comey was fired until next week's Montana race, and even that one is a long shot.

We won't really have anything concrete until late June when the Georgia race happens.

Surely you can see the difference between presidents support polls and a poll for a wack ass franchise that should've stayed dead

I backed Shenmue 3, shaddap :p

Removing the President from office is a political maneuver. Until Trump stops polling well with Republicans and doesn't lose all independents it will be a long process.

Also: GOP would be happy as fuck if they can pass Obamacare repeal-and-replace and tax-cuts before taking a Trump impeachment seriously if they can manage it.
 
FTFY.



You're certainly desperate with the pessimism, aren't you?

No, I'm desperate with realism.

Nothing has happened to Cheetolini because we are in the Orwellian era of a Brave New World, in which soon, very soon we will all be bursting into flames hotter than 451.

I mean I had hope during the Obama era, with a healthy dose of skepticism because most people do not have a grasp on how sensitive the democracy in America is, how long it has been abused, how long people have been abused by it.

So yeah I'm pessimistic when we have a bunch of literal neonazi's in the white house, along with populists.

You're good people, BronsonLee.
 
I still haven't started GoT. In fact, the amount of things I haven't seen in either TV or movies could fill an entire thread of you mocking me.

It's genuinely staggering. I was considering making said thread.
 
It will be important but it will be a repeat of Sally Yates'

"I can't speak to details of an ongoing investigation"

One difference is that a lot of his no comments and nos, will have more import and meaning this time.

"to the best of your knowledge, Did Trump actually use the n word in a Russian pee pee tape?"

"I can't comment on ongoing investigations."

The Yates testimony is what kicked off the last 8 days of insanity. It was some of the most consequential testimony of the last decade.
 
Still Varys.

And I still stand by my GoT/Politics list:

Putin = Littlefinger
Hillary = Eddard
Bernie = Renly
Trump = Joffrey
Bannon = Cersei
Jared = Margery
McConnell = Janos Slynt
Paul Ryan = Pycelle
Angela Merkel = Dany
Obama = Robert Baratheon

But Trump is the one with the little fingers! *ducks thrown tomato*
 
McMaster sounds like a Boss from Metal Gear Solid

LOL

Not the first time MGS has been referenced

If this were a game, it'd be pretty sick if there were Russian sleeper agents in the white house. You'd have to fight through the hallways blowing people apart with M16's and katanas, just to arrive to face Trump as the final boss.

The final battle culminates with Trump revealing the conspiracy, as he challenges you to a katana battle while he's in his power suit

Trump is not fucking Solidus, RIP John Cyan.
He's the Patriot's puppet President grabbing [who he thinks is a] women by the pussy

What are you even talking about?

Get that defeatist laziness out of here, there's really no place for it right now.

Watergate didn't happen overnight, and all of this is way more serious than watergate at this point. It takes time.

Nothing has happened to Trump or the GOP because it's literally been four months and these things takes years and also there hasn't been any major elections.

You're not being realistic at all. You're ignoring polls. You're ignoring special elections. You're ignoring approval ratings. You're ignoring all those things because they don't feed into your pessimism

The insanity is an understatement. As I was heading out to lunch today, I was desperately trying to remember the insane thing that hit the news yesterday morning that was pushed out of the insane thing that hit yesterday afternoon.

It took me a minute or three, but I got there.

You should stay in gaming forum. Let the adults talk.

Haha, okay. I was making a half-joke. If you've seen my posts in the past you know I can talk with the "big boys" anyday, anywhere, anytime.

When nothing happens, and we live in a fascist hellhole because all of you people kept believing the ship would right itself, can go sink with the ship of fools that thought he would never get elected by 48% of America, and the rich white corporations that own the Electoral College, the stock market, and the government.

This. Seriously.

Was I this much of whiner desperate to be taken seriously when I was a teenager? No, not even.

Pessimism was rewarded on November 8. Pessimism was rewarded in 2014, when in 2013 the consensus was that voters would punish Republicans for the government shutdown. Pessimism has been repeatedly rewarded when Republicans are the opposition, and it's going to take a lot to shove that pessimism aside.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as long as you don't let pessimism force you to the sidelines. Be active, be engaged, vote. Beyond that, alright, be pessimistic, too.

So, which video game/ Game of Thrones character is Comey the equivalent of now?

I mean, he's clearly Darth Vader, right? Mostly-good intentions but bad decisions put him in a position where the best choice he thought he had was to help put a monster in charge of a republic. He served the new order as something like the head of counter-terrorism/intelligence. He wasn't happy with how things had unfolded but didn't really see a way out. Now he's fired but Trump is falling into the reactor. Also he's very tall.

Ahh a half joke! Good one!

So wait. Are you still joking, or are you being serious now?
 
Why does it feel at this point all the "NOTHING WILL HAPPEN!" kiddies actually want nothing to happen just so they won't have to man up and admit they were wrong?
