QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 05:29 PM) Didn't he say yesterday he had no idea who he was meeting with until they met. He also said the purpose of the meeting was to talk about US-Russian adoption policy. All these emails are about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton. Remember when political people were at least GOOD at lying?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 05:49 PM) Its actually impossible to say because "terrorism" is based on intent. If the President was killed because he ran over someone's dog, that wouldnt be terrorism. Yeah, if the attacker is trying to kill major figures to freak out the population, that would be terrorism. John Hinkley Jr trying to get Jodie Foster's attention was not. -

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 10:17 PM) of the 481, 296 were for 'intimidation', which can range from physical threats to a menacing look or presence. Most of the menacing complaints are self reported and did not result in an arrest. So it could be people making s*** up. Wouldn't be the first time it happened. Ok, let's pretend every single one of the 296 intimidation instances were completely made up. 2000: 28 2001: 185 -

Regardless of how one might view his judgment handling Clinton email stuff last year, Comey seems like a good dude who goes by the book to the best of his ability.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 05:34 PM) I don't even understand what McCain's question is. How did the FBI finish one investigation but not a different, tangentially related investigation? Huh? McCain doesn't understand what his question is. He looks like he's either on some kind of heavy medication or getting hit hard by old age. His only aim seems to be to insinuate that Hillary Clinton should be a target of the Russian investigation because it concerns the election, and she was in the election.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 07:16 PM) This is a little odd: Isn't Coats testifying this week? This morning. It was heated. Rogers and Coats both said they were not "pressured" or "directed" to interfere with any investigations. Marco Rubio came out of left field and asked very specifically if they were ever "asked" to interfere with investigations. They reiterated that they were not "directed". Rubio responded "Not directed. Asked." Both Rogers and Coats clammed up and refused to address the question because it was "inappropriate" to discuss. Then a number of Senators hammered them over and over with the same questions along with demands for a rationale for why it was appropriate to tell them they weren't directed, but inappropriate to tell them they weren't asked. At one point, Rogers got so fed up with it he told Kamala Harris that she wasn't going to trick him into revealing something just by asking it a different way. Both men indicated they'd be more willing to talk about conversations with Trump in a closed hearing. McCabe and Rosenfield were also there. They pretty much didn't want to talk about anything, saying it could step on Mueller's toes.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 06:50 PM) And yes, firing Comey was the biggest, dumbest move Trump could have made. That is the big move that counters what i'm arguing. Seemingly Trump could have fired Comey simply for not being good at the PR game and pissing everyone in Washington off, but it sure comes off as Comey being fired for not "taking care" of the Russia problem for him. Yes, especially in light of the fact that the rationale for Comey kept changing and didn't make much sense. I'm not sold on Donald Trump himself being in collusion with Russia. I think it's more likely that some of his associates (guys like Flynn, Manafort, Stone, Page) were, and Donald Trump is a gullible vehicle for them to get things done. Trump's obstruction of justice comes across - to me - less like he's hiding personal guilt and more like he's just unbelievably ignorant of ethical/legal norms. The investigations into Flynn and his campaign were problems. He wanted them to go away.

Comey's statement for tomorrow is out: https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/d...omey-060817.pdf Items of note: 1) Comey did tell Trump that he personally was not being investigated under counter-intelligence (in particular regarding the pee pee tapes). 1b) Trump wanted Comey to make this public. 2) Trump asked for Comey's loyalty multiple times while alone at dinner. 3) Trump cleared out the Oval Office to be alone with Comey and said he hoped Comey could let the Mike Flynn investigation go. 3b) Comey expressed his discomfort about being left alone with Trump to Sessions, who did not respond. 4) Trump repeatedly talked to Comey to complain about the Russia investigation being a "cloud" over his administration and asking how it could be resolved.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 24, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) I thought that T3 was okay as a Terminator movie. I haven't seen Salvation or Genisys yet, but I've never had issue with the Terminator films - they're supposed to be fantasy. Then you haven't seen the worst two. T1 and T2 are classics. T3 is an acceptable action movie that is disappointing compared to its predecessors. T4 and T5 are crap.
