Support NeoGAF

[Lautaro]

You guys have a Russian plant in the oval office who is gonna bring a shill into the FBI to investigate him.

I mean what is gonna make you riot at this point.

If this was South Korea they would of gone ducking ballistic. Or Romania.

Bur yeah posting on gaf is the best way.

Seriously, are americans alergic to riots or is just GAF addicted to defeatism now?

"Oh well, we have a dictator better to deal with it for the next 8 years".

 

[Zasa]

Inklings of Pinochet with this asshole. Jesus Christ.

Can only hope we get some seriously meaty, & consequential leaks after this.

 

[commish]

If this investigation is closed and there is still no general strike, I'll lose all faith I've left in Americans.

They won't close the investigation. That would be too obvious and stupid. They will drag it on for years and then announce that they found nothing.

 

[Izuna]

The Fox News image IS REAL:

https://youtu.be/3KYNrK4uyC4?t=1855

Yo

I thought it was fake when I first saw it... Damn.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Don't post fake garbage.

It's a reference.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Absolutely none of the source info about this ever said anything about Comey resigning, because he didn't resign

So it's real because Fox News had to have come up with that lie somehow

Then why are they reporting it as fired now? That image purposely portrays the view that Fox News is currently lying about what happened.

 

[Incendiary]

Didn't Sessions recuse himself from this investigation? Then he writes a letter of recommendation to fire Comey? This is all so bizarre, it almost seems scripted.

This is fucking terrifying.

The article I read said it was by the Deputy AG's recommendation that Comey be fired. Did Sessions actually recommend it?

If so, that's fucked.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Okay, so I decided not to refresh neogaf for like an hour and I come back to the main page for one little minute and then I see this thread sitting at the top.

"What WHAT WHAAAAAT", in real life.


On a lighter note, I think the next Transformers movie might have to ask three questions.

 

[serenewarfare]

Ideally it would help people understand the dangers of the current situation, so that they could take appropriate action, including joining in collective resistance.

That's bullshit. There's a difference between a call to action and fear-mongering nonsense.

 

[nintendoman58]

We all Fucked. Let's just accept and move past the denial stage. We have a dictator as president and he's going to Fuck us every day for the next 8 years.

Can people please stop saying 8 years?

It's getting really annoying at this point.

Nothing about this has confirmed 8 years.

We're in that phase of people going nuts about something bad happening and saying ridiculous things in panic. Yeah I'm scared too, but control yourself.

 

[louiedog]

You might want to calm down. People giving measured appraisals of what they think will happen shouldn't make you this upset.

lol. "measured appraisals"

Keep purposefully pretending not to understand what posts I was talking about.

 

[The Greek Freak]

No?

I respect McCain for his service, but fuck him overall. All talk but party over country like the rest.

He's been broken since the GOP put Palin on his ticket in 08.

He actually had a set of balls before that day.

I would have GLADLY voted for pre Palin McCain over basically anyone in the last 4 elections besides Barrack.

 

[ModernBoxes]

"Oh well, we have a dictator better to deal with it for the next 8 years".

It's a big country. I just tried to start a riot but there's no one here

 

[Barzul]

Guys whatever the politics, Comey definitely deserved to get shitcanned. It's just sucks it's Trump not Clinton doing it imo.

Also I thought Sessions recused himself?

 

[LegendofLex]

Then why are they reporting it as fired now? That image purposely portrays the view that Fox News is currently lying about what happened.

That they're telling the truth now doesn't change that they already lied about it.

 

[Ray Wonder]

The first words out were "Trump fires Comey"

Never was it Comey resigns.

Absolutely none of the source info about this ever said anything about Comey resigning, because he didn't resign

So it's real because Fox News had to have come up with that lie somehow

-_-

I agree, the situation is shitty, but I think we should focus on other more important and correct factors. Considering if you watch it. They have it up for like 10 seconds, and the guy is questioning what he's getting in his earpiece "Wait what, are you saying he's risigning? That's what you said?"

Clearly scrambling to get the story out. They updated it immediately afterwards.

yeah, but cunts on here say there is a right way to protest. rip nana ruth.

 

[pigeon]

That's bullshit. There's a difference between a call to action and fear-mongering nonsense.

The difference is mainly whether you're complacent about the possible outcomes here.

 

[Maintenance]

They won't close the investigation. That would be too obvious and stupid.

Please tell me you don't really believe that after today.

 

[LiK]

Sen. Blumenthal just said on CBSi that we're under a constitutional crisis. Said the AG and Deputy AG are pawns of Trump. Dude is going all in.

 

[BlueTsunami]

A nerve was hit with the Yates questioning. There's something there that extends to the President, there should be no doubt now that hes interfered with the FBI investigation.

 

[Maxim726X]

That's bullshit. There's a difference between a call to action and fear-mongering nonsense.

Jesus Christ.

Do you understand the gravity of what's happening right now? I'm putting my money on 'probably not'.

 

[DietRob]

Trump himself said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose votes.

God Damn. This is so much more chilling now. Fuck.

 

[EatinOlives]

Didn't Sessions recuse himself from this investigation? Then he writes a letter of recommendation to fire Comey? This is all so bizarre, it almost seems scripted.

This is fucking terrifying.

Sessions recused himself from the investigation but he didn't recuse himself from conspiring to fire the guy in charge of the investigation.

Sessions is human trash unworthy of the air he breathes, so it's not out of character for him.

 

[Herr Schwarz]

Guys whatever the politics, Comey definitely deserved to get shitcanned. It's just sucks it's Trump not Clinton doing it imo.

Also I thought Sessuons recused himself?

Comey doesn't say much unless DOJ tell him to.

The fact he annoys both parties is a fucking asset.

 

[Lautaro]

His replacement is going to be worse, that's the problem I think.

Not my fault that a news organization didn't check their facts before reporting on it.

 

[wandering]

He's completely right. Mass protests are the only way we get out of this. Look at South Korea and Ukraine. America is as bad as those situations were if not worse right now. You have to come to grips with reality.

Destroying property does not help.

This is the only place where people can panic without bothering anybody IRL.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Over a hundred days in and Trump is still surprising the shit out of me. smh. This does not look good in anyway. I hope this is something both sides can agree on.

What is it going to take for people to realize that the GOP is never going to act objectively? Were the dozens of examples since the campaign not enough?

Destroying property does not help.

Good thing that poster didn't say anything about destroying property then, right?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Then why are they reporting it as fired now? That image purposely portrays the view that Fox News is currently lying about what happened.

Oh well. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. They have a clear pattern of lying and misinformation. This is their fault.

 

[Ashodin]

pin this tweet. It's still relevant now.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I don't disagree with that notion...

ok and?
do you think this passionate speech is gonna cause all the repubs to suddenly grow consciences and have a change of heart?

 

[Felix Lighter]

You are ignoring the fact they updated their story when more info came out so no it's not real.

What? The image is a real image from the Fox News channel.

"Oh well, we have a dictator better to deal with it for the next 8 years".

But this is a democracy, checks and balances, President can only have 2 terms, etc., etc., and it's all dressed in the veil of party politics and norms (ie within the President's power to fire FBI director)

We've been told for decades that our Constitution keeps stuff like this from happening here and it has never happened before, so it's easy to just trust the status quo.

[Madness]

Any chance Comey might decide to say "Fuck this!" and volunteer for a full blown testimony to the Senate, one not bound by "ongoing investigation"?

Darkest timeline indeed.

Trump's letter tarnishes his 'word' because Trump wrote, 'I greatly appreciate you telling me on three separate occasions that I am not under investigation'... so if Comey is subpoenaed he will either say yes he did tell Trump and therefore would have tampered with an ongoing investigation. If he says no, he opens himself up to perjury if Trump provides proof he did.

Trump really is a bastard. Will go down as perhaps the wordt President of all time. The rule of law is dead in the US. There is no coming back from this. Americans have to live with this forever.

peaceful protests never solve a goddamned thing

No it doesn't. It tells me at some point they did, which they did.

That's right. Finger that ass. Oh and if there is a riot. Please don't get in front of this posters way when he's driving. Cos hes very busy.

yeah, rip nana ruth

 

[kess]

Literally "but her emails" SIX MONTHS AFTER THE ELECTION

Little Finger finally have climbed too high in the chaos ladder.

Peaceful protests do not dethrone dictatorships.

Time to wake up then.

America is a large place

Good, have large riots then.

 

[LiK]

He said he's gonna introduce legislation for a special prosecutor tomorrow. Let's see how badly it goes with the GOP.

 

[rjinaz]

If you listen to the video, the commentator talks about "resignation."

I'm sure that Fox updated their story when the truth was figured out.

You can shit on Fox for nearly limitless, justifiable reasons, but this isn't Fox trying to spin a story of a resignation. That said, I'm sure they'll unsurprisingly talk about how great a decision the firing was tonight.

That's true enough.

They were the only major outlet to get it remotely wrong.

I shit on them because this kind of stuff happens constantly and undermines the ability of the Fox News viewer to have an accurate perception of reality.

We should absolutely criticize every piece of false reporting that comes out of them because accurately informing the Fox News viewer and actually spurring them to throw their support behind an investigation is the only way we get the people they voted for to do something meaningful about Trump.
