Today's market crash will do more to prod GOPers than you know, actual treason and collusion.

Wall Street HATES uncertainty and if it continues, they're going to start pushing for a simple clarity. There is only one path to that.

It's so sad but you're absolutely right, I had this exact thought today.

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.

I agree. And like Yates it will be omission and inability to comment that connects a bunch of dots. Depending on the types of question. I think it's HUGE I'm just saying there won't be much in the way of specific new information from Comey's mouth. Just from what eh can't say. Negative space, if you will.

I await the maddow episode following this that leads me through the Tom Clancy novel we are living in.

Those "kiddies" are no worse than the "OMG it's happening" posters. As to why it "feels" like they'd rather Trump stay in office, I'd look at yourself for that answer, because I highly doubt any of them would actually prefer that, given that they're as anti-Trump as anyone else in the thread. They're just pessimistic about the GOP's chances of being adults.

Speaking as someone who's not optimistic about impeachment, much less removal, I'll be thrilled to be wrong. But one requires a House majority, which is extremely unlikely, and the other requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate, which is an order of magnitude less likely than the first. It's not immaturity, it's simple math: as long as Trump's approval among Republicans is high, it's simply not going to happen. Nixon's breaking point was 50% approval within his party. Trump has a long way to go to get in that area, and with Fox News and other right-wing outlets - the only places so many GOP voters get their info - actively obscuring or downplaying Trump's troubles, why would these voters change their minds? They wouldn't seem likely to even if exposed to the news absent being told what to think.

One thing to add to this is while Fox News and Cuckservative radio keeps sucking at the teet of Trump's rather large torso, it would be political suicide to go into war with him if the facts aren't clear and concise, and in a way they can explain to their constituents.

I'd almost feel bad for Republicans if they weren't already such massive shitheels. There's really no winning scenario for them right now.

I'm trying to think of what could be more damaging than what Comey has right now. The only things I can think of are the piss tape or something like Trump having a super direct Russia link

source here seems suspect?

There's a 50/50 chance of that story being true whether you've got a source or not. Like, we've had major breaking news three times in the last nine days, each more shocking than the last.

So yeah, whether you've got a source or not that's a fairly safe bet.

Piss tape pleaseeee
Click to expand...

On a live feed on CNN, they make a Breaking News reveal.

"In my hand is the fabled Piss Tape. Warning: it is graphic. "
Cut to 2 minutes of uninterrupted pissing on a woman.
A Republican correspondant chimes in, "I don't know, we can't even see his face."

Trump leans down to fix the camera clearly revealing his face. As the phone rings, Trump picks it up and continues pissing even as he talks on the phone.
"Oh hey Putin? Yeah this is Donald J Trump, make no mistake. You needed my social security number? Well let me see... "
blatently stolen from a Boondocks bit

Isn't destroying the alleged tapes an offense?

They are government property if Trump used them, but this moron might think they're his.

It would be, yes. As would destroying visitor records or anything of that nature. You don't have to record that stuff, but if you do, you can't destroy it.

I don't see the story being 'sources inside the WH say Trump destroyed a bunch of tapes that night'

But destroying possible evidence would be a bigger story but it would be still the Comey story so the wording of that is odd.

Btw... I just went to reddit and the_donald... is this real or is this some next level trolling? I mean... why would you only talk about Seth Rich when this has no direct connection to the things Trump is doing atm?
