He's trying to distract people from the hearing itself. This will be his entire Twitter strategy distilled. He can't help himself. Talk all the time. Big talk. The best talk. With great endurance.

Donald Trump is bringing the true second screen experience that Xbox Smartglass promised!

Is it too much to ask for our dumbass President to actually get some work done instead of watch more TV?

Its the best thing if he gets as little work done as possible.

Ok, fuck over poor people, or continue to reduce america's standing in the global community ?

At this point when he does get work done it is pulling out of climate agreements and trying to posture with Russia. I say allow him to be distracted as it is for everyones best interest.

 

[Extollere]

Considering that the White House had preventative measures against a Drunk Alcoholic Nixon launching nukes, there is no way they don't already have measures in place to make sure Trump can't actually be the one to launch the nukes.

And what makes you think that any of the current White House staff is competent enough to control what the President can or can't do when they haven't proved to be able to so thus far? It sounds crazy, but it's a legit concern.

We don't want him to accomplish the kind of work he wants to do.

 

[KojiKnight]

Let him, encourage him. The more he responds quickly without taking time to make a good response, the more likely those responses can be used against him down the road.

 

[KuroNeeko]

I'm not watching this and I hope they take pains to make sure no on involved in the hearings has access to any sort of media during the event itself. Last thing we need is real-time interference from 45.

What happens when Trump decides to launch a nuke just to cause an emergency so he can ride out his Presidency on a war-driven news cycle causing everyone to forget about Russia?

He cannot do so completely unilaterally. There are various checks and balances in place that I believe would prevent the launch in a time of peace.

Technically, he has the authority to launch nuclear weapons but in practice there are a number of people involved in the process that have to do stuff along the way to make it happen. Those people could not play along and generally make it near impossible for him to do it.

It's not like there is a button to press and the missiles start flying. It's is quite a bit more complicated.

One of the hearings with Comey had questions asked about Tweets that occured during the hearing. It was... Interesting.

President Trump is pretending to sign bills because he can't actually pass real ones https://t.co/Qyj653z0ej

Just no class or dignity left at all, huh.

Intelligence Community found Ben Ghazi! We can finally lock her up!

 

[Eusis]

Did they find out Donald Trump was directly responsible for what happened there?

The God Emperor of projection!

He takes his mask off and he was Dr. Benjamin Ghazi all along

WATCH: During hearing, Comey and Rogers react to @POTUS tweet

— NBC News‏ (@NBCNews) March 20, 2017​

What was Trumps tweet?

 

[Steel]

What was Trumps tweet?

Trump tweeted that Comey and the NSA director said that there was no interference from Russia on the electoral process in the middle of the hearing. They were asked about it, that was their reaction.

 

[BrassDragon]

"I served in Grenada, Beirut and El Salvador. I die in Washington."

 

[Blablurn]

at what time is the hearing on Thursday? I'm thinking of organizing a viewing party.

 

[nubbe]

Trump should plead the 5th... like the opposite of tweeting

 

[Forkball]

Jesus, if you're up there... now would be the time to come down.

Haha, don't think it's going to be THAT entertaining.

TBH the leader of a country doesn't work. They just make decisions which lead to others doing the work.

[MCN]

Let him tweet. Let's give him plenty of rope with which to hang himself.

 

[Souldriver]

The thread title alone makes me question my entire existence.

 

[kitsunelaine]

It feels so, so wrong to be looking forward to this.

Does anybody know how accurate the data from Twitteraudit is?

It shows Trumpy at 37% fake followers.
I keep wondering where all the likes come from

10AM, but not sure if this will be that big a bomb.

 

[Majine]

What pains me is knowing that when Trump leaves office, the GOP spin will be that he was too obstructed by all the fake news to accomplish anything. And nothing will be learned.

The Onion has nothing on reality. What an amazing time to be alive.

That's one take on it.

Wouldn't say amazing myself

Comey's opening statement: https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/os-jcomey-060817.pdf

...the President said, ”I need loyalty, I expect loyalty."...

Probably needs a new thread IMO

Also whoooo boy

The President then returned to the topic of Mike Flynn, saying, “He is a good guy and has been through a lot.” He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” I replied only that “he is a good guy.” (In fact, I had a positive experience dealing with Mike Flynn when he was a colleague as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency at the beginning of my term at FBI.) I did not say I would “let this go.”

Wow, WaPo vindicated

I heard that people are going to gather at Bars that are opening earlier to watch the testimony together?
Is this true?

 

[A Serious Man]

Incoming massive semantics battle over "loyalty".
