The part of the whole Anthony Weiner saga that still floors me is that he keeps getting caught. Like holy fuck. You'd think after 2-3 rounds of this he'd at least figure out how to cover his tracks, if not manage his addiction.

I actually sat adjacent to him on a nearly empty NYC subway about 2 years ago. He tried to strike up a conversation with me, I think he could tell I recognized him, it was sorta weird. It makes a bit more sense after watching that documentary where he's starved for attention.
...I had the chance.

Ok, he's obligated to tell Congress about any new developments:

This is all well and good, but the media gives fuck all about this.

I do not want Anthony Weiner to be killed, come the fuck on, guys.

Let's crucify him though. Republican's thought they could make hay out of something. Focus on actual governance.
Yuck.
It's must be taking more than 11 days to review those emails because they were sent by a Nigerian prince and the FBI is still waiting to hear back about whether his offer is classified.

Tbh, they're already starting to tone it down. Fox & co will make hay out of it, but they'd do that anyway.
Well I mean
That's... kinda par for his particular course
Basically this will be a one day story because the GOP blew it's was too early
Dear everyone who ate this "new emails" shit up: You're the problem with this country.

So even Comey was doing this out of obligation. It probably is really nothing then.
I don't know how people can listen to the reaction from that crowd and not say the Trump movement has echoes of Hitler. The level of hatred is completely undeniable, they want to see her publicly executed.
It sounds like a conspiracy theory or a twist in a storyline from a show but considering what we have to go on right now this seems pretty likely that this is what happened. It's fucking crazy.
I chuckled.
Well this was a "fun" hour LMAO
Nah if the dude was going to be a fuck-up, its a good thing he did it before ever becoming, hypothetically, the nominee for president for the Democrats or even President. Fallout would be much worse otherwise.

Heh, well that's just the way I live my life. I have a hard time taking crap from someone without giving it back. I would be terrible in politics, I'll admit. I'm actually greatly impressed by how anyone can have a debate with Trump and not make him eat his microphone.
That has to take an amount of self control I certainly wouldn't have!

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I seriously doubt the obligation means he had to do it in that way.

Okay, I'll be more fair to Comey now.
I can't hate Chaffetz either. After all, he can't even look his daughter in the eye.

They may play it up to keep viewers in suspense on the outcome of the election?
Appointing to key positions a member of a party that has shown it has no interest in actually governing and is instead interested in total obstruction is not acting in the interest of governance.

It's fucking nothing but some folks so desperately want it to be something it'll stick but it's literally fucking nothing that its shelf life is a day/weekend at best.
Is my guess
A lot of people jumped in with early snipes.
We have to worry about the optics of the lowest common denominator that is not capable of critical thought or reasoning.
Like Hillary's pinned tweet about Trump, though, you could say this about *any* Paul Ryan statement.

That the immediate reaction from Republicans was trying to argue about how to make it harder for black people to vote says something though.
That was revealing and can be nice to point to later on.
Good tweets to save.

Baseballcrank and other assholes immediately argued that this story showed that we shouldn't have early voting.
Yeah, I don't think he needed to notify congress in a vague and sinister way that left everything up for interpretation. The details were going to leak anyway, but the damage is done if you omit it up front. Plus, plausible deniability.
Surprising from Emails Mitchell.

No. Comey technically has to amend his testimony is the gist of this so far.
And of course Trump will face no repercussions for totally fucking lying his ass off about this. What kind of chaos would have to happen on election day for him to go to jail? Does he really get off scott-free just because he never outright said "hey, please murder those people"?
