What a spineless piece of shit. What if it was [insert Dem] as President, would he feel the same?
I don't get it.
If what you're all saying is true, and this Comey memo would indeed be permissible in court, why the fuck are Republicans not distancing themselves from this?
It's getting to the point now where it seems inevitable that Trump is going to go down. I thought by now the party would have bailed. I'm sure they'd rather have Pence in the WH anyway.
This is the occasional reminder that your representatives have telephones and mailboxes which you should be filling with your expressed opinion on impeachment, special prosecutors, and the behavior of the President.
Make sure you're being heard by your representatives.

A bit out of the loop, but did Russia inadvertently confirm that they recorded the meeting with Trump in the oval office?
One way or another I think it's sunk in to Ryan that his agenda is dead. Unfortunately that's all he has so he's sticking to it.
I mean... what can you even say at this point?
Yep, I think he has terrible policies in general, but he has been spot-on on this.
I thought Ben Sasse would be too, but really he just obfuscates while trying to pretend he's nonpartisan.
He was on Morning Joe saying "I just think it's weird that Trump is sharing classified information with Putin. Like, he's not a good guy"
No motherfucker, it's not "weird" it's treason.

Get fucked Joffrey Sessions. I don't think anybody hates him more than Warren.

Trump totes should've fired Comey on the spot for not reporting his criminal behavior.
You can burn too, fucking traitor.

I contacted my rep and he went on TV yesterday and basically said this memo is bullshit and if it existed why didn't Comey mention it before now. My representative is worthless.
If your lazy, text resist twice not 50409. They will figure out who your reps are, and fax or even snail mail them all through a text interface.

Yep. Follow up questions should be A) Why? and B) If this were Obama, would you feel the same?
That's where you'd get actual meat and insight into the fact that Ryan is basically an impotent worm with zero principles beyond working hard to kill Americans that aren't as rich as him and earn money.

This seals it for me. He is dirty and involved in Russian collusion. There can't be any other explanation at this point.

As I expected, nothing really matters.
Trump survived and won after boasting of grabbing pussies after all.
Wtf are these dudes serious?

Why the fuck would that have been on Comey, and not Trump for daring to ask?
Cause he was in the middle of an investigation to nail that orange pigfucker to the wall?
Jesus Christ.
So the "if this had really happened he would tell everyone immediately/he's incompetent if this did happen and he didn't tell everyone immediately" dual arguments seem to be how republicans willing to deflect on this are proceeding.
And speaking of "republicans who are willing," has that included any big names yet or people from competitive districts or states in 2018?

All this winning must make Trump supporters sick and tired of winning!

So THIS is the angle they're going with?
The one that also begs the question why didn't Sessions resign (or go to congress) immediately upon learning about the memo?

Ryan has decided to simply go down with this ship it seems.
Republicans are use to blaming rape victims for everything, so blaming Comey is second nature.

I don't expect the Republicans to just up and drop Trump but it's really sad how much they're willing to abide for the illusion of power. Because the best they're doing with total control of the federal government is a shit slate of bills even they can't stand. They're evil AND they're bad at it.
And there's a much bigger risk than just giving up on one year's worth of legislative movement by standing by Donald Trump. They won't look like they're just putting up with the president or controlling his worst impulses anymore, which was their big excuse in the general election. They're aiding and abetting him as he engages in really abusive, incompetent, crazy activity. Hardcore Trump supporters won't care. Wavering voters and inactive Democrats and independents probably will.
And what will they see? "A party interested in small and fair government?" Surely not. The Republican brand will risk being totally conflated with this creepozoid of a president.
The other explanation is that he's been dreaming of booting people off medicaid since he was partying in college and now's his chance. He's not going to let a little treason get in the way of fucking over the poor.
Someone put Ryan's statement right next to that defeated, hopeless look on his face after he had to push through one of those shitty health care bills.

I'd like to know if any of you who were on the fence about Trump or supported him during the election have completely changed your opinion of him now. I'm not looking to ridicule anyone, I'm just hoping that some people have come to their senses amidst all of this shit. I need a glimmer of hope that I'm not losing my mind because people who supported him before continue to support him.
Oh my god that is so absurd that I am laughing maniacally. Comey should have resigned because Trump was asking him to obstruct justice? LMAO

lol if you thought Paul Ryan was ever going to drop Trump you're wrong. He's going down with that ship.

Paul Ryan finds a new level of fuckboi I see
Yeah, it's this
And it's going to look particularly shitty when Comey replies 'I was in the middle of conducting an investigation and didn't want to expose myself'.
Again, I really thought they would have bailed by now. Maybe they're waiting for Comey to confirm that the memo actually exists?
It has been since 2016. They are one and the same now.
Can he really read or just recognise his name so they put it all the way through. Picture books for Trump.

I don't think anyone would own up to that here for fear of getting dog piled.
If there was any person other than Trump that I would most like to smack in the gut with a baseball bat, it'd be Ryan. Sleazy bastard only got where he is because literally no one else wanted the job and he isn't half the man Comey is.
