Support NeoGAF

What am I missing here?

 

[akira28]

so, about them Yankees...

apparently they're more powerful than we thought.

A quick dive into comments elsewhere basically amount to "lol liberal tears," that's it. There is no defense except for a few people throwing out generic insults.

I hope this means something, but to think this is going to increase pressure from the majority of the GOP base is laughable, they went off the deep end awhile back and now I don't even think that irrefutable proof of the Russia stuff, or hell, even the pee pee tape being released publicly would make a difference.

It feels that way at times admittedly but it is worth noting that his GOP support has fallen gradually since his election if very slowly. It was like 95% at one point, but last approval rating polls had it at like 76-78%

 

[jellies_two]

well a big FU to the media skeptics furious and dismissive that Rick Wilson, Claude and the gang - even Louise - were talking bout grand juries (and are now talking about the number of indictments they are producing).
Because that gang clearly DOES have sources that reporters don't have and those sources are clearly close to the action.

Naveed Jamali, a panel guy who got there because he wrote a mediocre book about his brush with russians, is doing a fingers in the ear act right now because he was the loudest critic of them all in the last few weeks.

 

[GreyWind]

Pssh, Bernie is obviously

Jon Snow.

He'll be back any second to win the election.

Oh god! I laughed so hard

Did they miss that he got fired because he exaggerated Hillary's email problem?

 

[lastplayed]

How is an independent prosecutor appointed?

I think the US needs a bit of good ol' fashioned international intervention.

Spoiler

Not Russia

Republicans are braindead stupid. News at 11.

 

[antonz]

Honestly as an Arizona voter I am shocked Flake could find the courage to even say something like that. He spends most of his time with his lips attached to Trumps ass.

I'll ask you because everyone else is busy making GOT memes (lol) : can Trump name anyone as a new director? what are the requirements?

He was probably thinking something more like..

"Oh shit, I can't believe I have to deal with this with my reelection coming up next year."

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What? He's spoken out against Trump plenty of times.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Nononono. You got it all wrong:

Comey = Varys
Littlefinger = Putin
Ned Stark = Hillary
Renly = Bernie
Cersei = Bannon
Joffrey = Trump
Maester Pycelle = Paul Ryan
Robert Baratheon = Obama

Holy shit.

The only one I don't quite see is Obama but the rest is eerily accurate.

It was just temporary. Trump farted momentarily blowing his lips off Trumps ass.

has Bruce Springsteen told us how nothing will come of this yet?

He got called out before he move his goalposts

Oh? Link to the poll? (I believe you, just want to see who did the poll)

 

[Brandon F]

No. Van Jones tried to normalize him back in March by saying, that he was the President now, in relation to him giving a teleprompter speech and using a widow as a sympathy shield.

Now Van Jones is trying to say, "I called it guys, when I said he was President I meant President Nixon!"

Jesus.

Van Jones has never not been terrible.

 

[Lord Frieza]

I'll ask you because everyone else is busy making GOT memes (lol) : can Trump name anyone as a new director? what are the requirements?

Technically I guess he can yeah. I don't know if there is any base requirements that must be met.

 

[Jenov]

I'm hoping this underscores just how serious a situation this is and gives other republicans the courage to, at a minimum, get a special investigation going.

Utah is a strange place. Hopefully not a lot think like this.

Reminder that there still hasn’t been a Trump administration crisis that wasn’t completely self-inflicted

How will they ever find time in their busy schedule of fucking up if actual governing involving the president did need to happen?

 

[Bad_Boy]

whats a good livestream on news right now? i don't care which, i'm just out of the loop a bit.

Just bitter they couldn't even take a game off the libertard GS Dubs.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Yes:

All intelligence agencies have said they have no evidence of any direct connection between trump and Russia, unless that mystery proof leaks to the media, under the watch of trump chosen FBI director, nothing will happen to trump

Comey would have said it if they found proof when asked under oath

I'm not trolling, but I will stop posting in this thread because I can't defend myself against 10 posters at once. I voted for Clinton, I've never once said I supported trump and have criticized him many times



My apologies for being a distraction in this thread

 

[KHarvey16]

Is David Frum crying?

 

[rambis]

Yep. All y'all watching CNN for the fuckery are the reason they are trash-tier journalism now. Do better.

Dude get off the soapbox. We get it. CNN has people you don't like/agree with. We don't care. People will still watch/read.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Oh? Link to the poll? (I believe you, just want to see who did the poll)

It was the last round of Gallup polls I think. I'm on mobile so I can't dig them up now, but you can just Google them or search GAF for approval rating threads

This is hilarious and sad.

 

[pigeon]

I don't believe that it is genuine, but it is something Trump would totally do.

No, Trump would not write something that you need to be a fluent reader of English to understand.

 

[Lautaro]

Technically I guess he can yeah. I don't know if there is any base requirements that most be met.

Ok, I just googled it and he needs to be confirmed by the Senate... yep, bad news. Prepare for incoming shill, better leak everything before the investigation is shut down.

Honestly if i were china and i had serious intentions of invading Taiwan, this is when I'd do it.

That Clinton justification is like an Ouroboros where the ass eats the head.
Seriously.

You are a poet.

Thank you for the visualization that's now in my head.

 

[plagiarize]

I prompted him to make an absurd statement and he got dog piled and left.

Seems like a good strategy going forwards.

Bush's first year had 9/11 and Obama inherited the financial crisis.

I'm shuddering to think of what Trump's first major crisis situation will be like.

It can be argued among all of the "IC" agencies, FBI was the "friendliest" to Trump (i.e., last to confirm Russia's intent). So what does Trump do, hit them with the biggest hammer he can as seen in that earlier Politico piece.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Omg again with this if Trump picks someone with great integrity then it's all just a circus by the liberal media.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

You're welcome. Glad I could help. lol

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

He and Ben Sasse apparently. I'll believe it when I see it...

I've fired off on my Senators and Rep about this. This ain't a partisan issue to all but the most die-hard GOP and I let them know that. This is do or die time.

Bush's first year had 9/11 and Obama inherited the financial crisis.

I'm shuddering to think of what Trump's first major crisis situation will be like.

Twist: He is it.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Thread moving like wild fire.

 

[Izayoi]

Come into a political thread and I'm immediately greeted by Game of Thrones spoilers.

Fucking really?

 

[Ryuuroden]

So he can name anyone as replacement? what are the requirements for a new director?

the requirements are that he gets 50 votes plus pence, thats it.

 

[Thebullfrog]

Honestly if i were china and i had serious intentions of invading Taiwan, this is when I'd do it.

This would be the WORST time to do it. When Trump and friends DESPERATELY want something to distract the news right now, there would be bombing runs over Beijing post-haste.

 

[TestOfTide]

Holy shit.

The only one I don't quite see is Obama but the rest is eerily accurate.

No, Obama = Robert Baratheon definitely works because both were alright leaders in government, but terrific leaders in campaigning.

Bill Clinton is more Robert than Obama.

CNN scrambling here.
This is going to be an interesting few weeks.

I'm not into politics. Someone tell me why he getting fired is a bad thing?
