[QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]Apparently some far-left groups wanted to start shit on the fourth. So perhaps, they decided to hold the ''Scream at the skies in pure rage over Trump'' day a few days earlier than first planned.[/QUOTE] this is almost entirely fabricated by the alt-right, don't expect anything outside of some incredibly small and basic protests in liberal towns at best
[QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]some far-left groups wanted to start shit on the fourth [...] Like Keith Olbermann's rants are any better than ''REEEEE FUCK DRUMPH DID A THING''. Truly, the pinnacle of political commentary and comedy. If I'd wanted a directionless thirteen-a-dozen rant about Trump, I would go to r/politics.[/QUOTE] Hey, buddy, I know it's not polite to point out but your alt-right r/the_donald is showing. Just wanted to let you know.
[QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]Apparently some far-left groups wanted to start shit on the fourth. So perhaps, they decided to hold the ''Scream at the skies in pure rage over Trump'' day a few days earlier than first planned.[/QUOTE] A group is organizing mass protests but that "scream at the skies" thing was a joke Facebook page that somehow got reported as news. [QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]To be fair, Comey was really high on the shitlist for most liberals after the election, as they believed that Clinton's (for them unexpected) loss was partially due to Comey reopening the investigation into Clinton a few weeks before the election.[/QUOTE] Because until he testified the interpretation was that he leaked the letter. Even Trump himself believed he fucked up when he fired him. [QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]Somehow, almost all that hostility and the claims of Comey being a glory hound mainly concerned for his own career, faded as soon he was fired. [/QUOTE] Because people were critical of Comey doesn't mean they wanted him fired for dubious reasons in the middle of an investigation that was inconvenient to Trump, putting it lightly. He was an Obama appointee. Many on the left criticized Comey. Few wanted him fired. [QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]They then suddenly pretended that they didn't sling all kinds of shit at them beforehand, and that they always stood behind Comey's decisions. [/QUOTE] Again, because "I don't think he made the right call with that letter" doesn't mean you think Trump should have fired him for a transparently nonsense reason. [QUOTE=Jordax;52835012]Like Keith Olbermann's rants are any better than ''REEEEE FUCK DRUMPH DID A THING''. Truly, the pinnacle of political commentary and comedy. If I'd wanted a directionless thirteen-a-dozen rant about Trump, I would go to r/politics.[/QUOTE] Raging about Trump doing a thing is nothing at all like spinning whole cloth, Pizzagate level conspiracy theories out of thing air. And yeah, fuck reading alternative viewpoints.
[QUOTE=Jordax;52834897]I doubt that Keith Olbermann, the leftist version of Alex Jones, and even less of a class act than the humble water filter seller, is a trustworthy source. Olbermann is a ranting manchild in a basement. At least Jones has a studio for his rants. My guess about the indictment is, that it is going to be someone rather out of the left field. It's not someone who was looked at from the start. Getting the feeling too that it is someone media-related, some of the more vocal mainstream media outlets have been awfully quiet about this news. But hey, we'll see in 24 hours.[/QUOTE] Like 1/10th of my post focused on Keith Olbermann in particular. I used that particular tweet to segue into a more direct line of logic of how Kushner in particular might be involved as Seth says "this is like the [B]sixth clue[/B] in the last 24 hours", right after the other two tweets I linked above showing reliable news sources indicating that Manafort and Flynn seem to be relatively safe in the short run from the incoming indictments. Fixating on the fact that one of my many sources passively mentioned a post from Keith seems to miss the point of my overall post. I can remove that tweet where Seth cites a Keith Olbermann tweet in passing and replace it with one of the other tweets where Seth insinuates Kushner could potentially be the one indicted if it makes you feel better.

The board also called for special counsel Robert Mueller to resign, and for the FBI to be investigated for its “role in Russia’s election interference.” [B]There is no evidence that the FBI, the Clinton campaign, or the Democratic party colluded with Russia.[/B] [/QUOTE]
So when the Republican Party is accused of colluding with Russia, with a wealth of evidence to back it up, the response is to, in turn, for the Republican Party to accuse the Democratic Party of colluding with Russia? :zing:
[QUOTE=BelatedGamer;52829618]This is happening sooner than I thought And yet it isn't nearly soon enough[/QUOTE] I really hope this goes somewhere, and that somewhere actually changes things for the best.

If enough accusations are thrown around they hope the general populace won't know what to believe and zone out.

It should surprise no one that they're going to tow the Murdoch line.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;52835126]i know keith is a bit silly, but saying he's worse than alex jones, let alone even comparing them, is delusional to say the least[/QUOTE] Olbermann is like the Huffington Post where you CAN get news from them but they can't stop themselves from turning everything into an opinion article.
call me back when huffpo starts saying the government is using fluoride to turn frogs gay

This looks worryingly like "I want to go to war to distract from the Mueller investigation" but I guess we'll see what happens.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;52835719]This looks worryingly like "I want to go to war to distract from the Mueller investigation" but I guess we'll see what happens.[/QUOTE] I've heard the Dem Coalition is biased, so I don't know if this news source is shaky or not - but for what it's worth, I saw this floating around a few hours ago [media]https://twitter.com/funder/status/924749139707088902[/media] I personally would not put much stock in it as it sounds too good to be true, but stranger things have happened I suppose. Tomorrow will be interesting, for better or for worse.
Resigning isn't going to make what he and his did un-illegal.
[QUOTE=The Rifleman;52835930]Resigning isn't going to make what he and his did un-illegal.[/QUOTE] Would not care at first, he still would be out of office and away from those nuclear codes. That's my personal priority before arresting him.

People have explained this frankly simple concept before this thread. It's not unreasonable or hypocritical to support someone you don't generally support if they have been treated unfairly.
