Do you guys remember Trey Gowdy's stupid fucking haircut?
Excuse me. Excuse me. Here in PoliGAF, we say السلام عليكم.
Well NYT endorsement was for the primary races, since the NYT endorsed Kasich as well. Though I am sure they will support Clinton over Trump in the general.

Obama is the complete opposite of either Trump or Johnson in nearly every way, but you'd rather vote for them than the one who is the closest to Obama in this contest?
Why?
Comey went all in on Mica's accusation that he was influenced in his decision. Had a bit of a rage moment where he took control of the mic and made clear what was what and that he saw what Mica was insinuating and that it was flat wrong. Was awesome
-1 Conspiracy theorists.If you'd rather vote for Trump you don't give a flying fuck about a single one of Bernie's ideals, policies, or reforms. Not one. There is no reality where you can square this circle.
Because he's an idiot. Just ignore him.

Asked if Guccifer gained access to Clinton's e-mail server.
"He did not. He admitted that was a lie."
Yet another BOOM.

Maybe this is a good opportunity for everybody to learn a valuable lesson that they're already failing to learn
It's not just tedious to assume that literally every aspect of everything is politicized, it plays right into the Tea Party playbook of delegitimizing everything that doesn't go your way. It's both unproductive and unconvincing -- and, ultimately, if everything in government is cronies and political maneuvering, then the GOP is right that we should just get rid of it all.
So stop playing their game. Comey is probably just, you know, a director of the FBI that has served under both parties in various offices and wants to do a good job. Maybe the reason he did a thing you didn't like was that he thought that would be the best way to do his job.

You could visibly see him trying to control himself as well. I can imagine had this been in a meeting room he would have flip out on him. No way that isn't talked about after this is over.
GOP former lawyers still trying to claim they'd prosecute Hillary without the same access to resources as Comey. Interrupting Comey as he's clarifying when they don't get the answer they want.
At what point do other GOP members realize that if they're going to go after one of their own in questioning Comey's integrity - and to the extent of discrediting him and smearing his ability to perform his job - that they might not be safe from this witch hunt either?

I'm seriously so grateful to Paul Ryan right now.

This is.......... so fucking stupid. It's awesome! Just like Clinton's lengthy Benghazi session, it becomes progressively more apparent to the general public why this hearing is being held the longer it runs on.
Then again, the GOP is competing with Trump on "how to best ruin a news cycle," so maybe they figure this is less damaging than whatever crap he's spewing today?

It's not going to be a problem. The Republicans in the committee are comparing her public statements and in hearings that she did not send or receive classified information with the fact now that some emails contained classified information.
So of course her statements are "not true", but also of course you have to prove she knew they were not true when she said them. When none of the emails in question were marked properly and only three were marked at all.

I just don't understand why so many people in this thread is blindly supporting her. I really hope Bernie runs as a third party just to screw Clinton I despise her.

But r/politics was so sure!
Rest assured that wont happen I suppose.
Blindly?
There's nothing blind about my support or many others in this thread.
[edit] Actually, don't. I imagine we already know your talking points.

I'm thinking in the future, history will look back onto these hearings as they really are: political witch hunts, comparable to disgusting McCarthyism.

Maybe...just maybe, we're not "blindly" supporting anything. Maybe, just maybe, we have good brains and can formulate opinions based on facts, reason and logic. Maybe, just maybe, we support her policy positions.
Your blind hatred is showing, fyi.

Who says it's blindly?
And really, screwing the country out of a personal hate is stupid.
So, you hope Bernie runs as third party to screw Clinton, thus ensuring that not a single one of Bernie's policies, beliefs, and agendas actually come to pass for the next 30-40 years? Wow! You really sound like you believe in the platform of Bernie Sanders!
Sanders has said multiple times he's going to do everything he can to ensure Trump doesn't win so no, he won't do that.

I don't see too much "blind support".
Many here in PoliGAF supported Obama over Clinton in 2008, myself included.
Many here in PoliGAF initially supported Bernie over Clinton at the onset of the 2016 primary process, myself included.
What you won't find in PoliGAF are very many willing to burn everything down, ruin the SCOTUS and destroy the progressive movement just because their favorite candidate didn't win the nomination.

Bernie flat out says he is voting for Hillary and trying to stop trump so joke is on you
Blindly? Nah. She's easily the strongest choice for anyone who doesn't want Obama's progress and rhetoric overturned by the next administration and who wants the progress to continue in the Supreme Court for decades to come. Nobody should be looking for the perfect candidate. Just the best one, and it's her.

I don't mean to go detective GAF on you but you seem to have been rooting pretty hard for Obama and Dems in general in 2012. So while Hillary and Obama are not the same person, obviously, and one can significantly prefer one over the other for both policy and character reasons, you'll forgive someone if they find it confusing that you would despise one so much over the other that you would consider voting for another candidate who is literally the antithesis of everything Obama has done, said and stood for in his tenure.
Unless you have just become that disillusioned with Obama over the past few years.

I support her based in the knowledge of her platform, what she's done in the past.
You call it blind support, but I call it a logical outcome to my views and the fact I don't believe in alt left news sources that read like far right blogs.
Someone is salty because their candidate botched one of the most important section of the primary and failed to correct the path he was on. now you want to blow up the country and doom everyone and every liberal policy to a generation of ultraconservitive judges in SCOTUS.
The only blind one I see is you.
This is essentially what this whole thing is about:
Repeat.
GOP question 1: "According to my standards I'd prosecute."
Comey: "That would be unfair treatment."
GOP question 2: *doesn't listen to the first answer* (asks the same thing)
Comey: Repeats answer in more clarity.
GOP Question 3: Conspiracy theory.
Comey: No conspiracy.
Comey: "That would be unfair treatment."
GOP question 2: *doesn't listen to the first answer* (asks the same thing)
Comey: Repeats answer in more clarity.
GOP Question 3: Conspiracy theory.
Comey: No conspiracy.
Repeat.
Because we want someone with progressive qualities in their platform to become President?
I wish I could live in this fantasy world where a modern Republican takeover wouldn't screw me completely over.
