Mentioning condoms isn’t an absurd choice, as in the past, some so-called “pro-life” groups tried to take condom-use down too. They were laughed at until they took down the relevant ads, fortunately, but it was still a revealing glimpse into their minds. The reason they keep moving the goalposts to make mor ewomen…

I am literally everything these assholes hate...

Shooting a giant gun into a serene natural setting while talking about the importance of protecting life may be the most Republican thing I’ve ever seen. Amazing.

Anyone interested in the UK general tomorrow, go Google “Theresa May holding a baby” before it disappears.

I am more inclined to agree with your reading of this—the forced confidentiality of these meetings, where Comey was always walking unexpectedly into a situation where they were talking one-on-one, is itself enough of a red flag, whether or not they were being taped. (I just don’t think Trump can think that far…

It reminds me of the advice my mom gave me on dealing with inappropriate behavior from a colleague: “write down every bad thing they say verbatim with date and time so if you need to report them you have a record.”

Right, and I think you can add to that, the time Comey makes a point of mentioning the awkward silence. He didn’t say something to diffuse the situation, or something that could somehow be misinterpreted. He just let it hang there.

I’ve already told my friends with whom I’m supposed to be going out that I’ve got a stomach bug. Wine and crisps and icecream stocked up.

Combine it with Drumps cryptic tweet - the one where he “hopes nobody has a tape”?

That little flourish brought to you by “What happens to you when you fire the FBI Director in a manner to heighten his personal embarrassment you fucking moron of a baby that I cannot believe is President.”

Ha, yes, I NEED more info on this dinner. How much ketchup was involved (it’s really not a question of ‘if’...)? Did 45 get an extra scoop of ice cream?

And what finally broke the weird awkward silence after Trump tried to demand Comey’s loyalty? I am cracking up whenever I think of those prolonged however many…

Watch if he’s asked about the tapes. If he says he hasn’t seen it, he hasn’t seen it. If he says he can’t comment and that you should not read anything into his refusal to comment....read things into his refusal to comment.

Comey is amazing. He managed to get the word hookers off that dossier into public record by way of writing what Trump said to him. Brillz! He’s basically begging to be asked about it and legitimize it further.

I think it is enough for obstruction. Trump asked him the drop the Flynn thing repeatedly, Comey did not drop it, Comey was fired. Sounds like obstruction to me.

I just told my boss that I’m taking off work tomorrow to watch this. Now I only need to decide on drinks and snacks.

What this confirms is that Trump did tape the “dinner date” meeting, where Comey thought it was odd Trump was asking him about whether he would stay on at the job, after Trump already confirming it in previous conversations.

jesus christ that is infuriating.

Way to bury the lede!!!!
