This report will very likely not benefit the Trump Administration in any way. MineralMan Jun 2018 #1
And water is wet...we all knew that. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #2
Yeah, but you know how it is. Girard442 Jun 2018 #4
Thanks you for that clarification...most important to note the wetness of water...it is after all Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #8
An official pronouncement was need to clarify any doubt that water is wet. I think we can safely say Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #118
you forgot that Botany Jun 2018 #86
Comey had one motive only. All others made no sense because of the timing onit2day Jun 2018 #100
come could have checked out the allegations about HRC in an hour but no he went .... Botany Jun 2018 #103
I felt we might address those issues at a different time but perhaps, I have been negligent in this Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #119
Duh! malaise Jun 2018 #3
Hahaha...love you Malaise! Have to keep our sense of humor in these dark times! Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #17
I mean malaise Jun 2018 #23
hahah...I must need to laugh...laughed so hard I spilled my coffee! Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #25
Laughing is very good for us malaise Jun 2018 #26
Yes it is...keeps us going. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #38
He loved Comey...was thrilled with the report...but then Comey didn't kiss his orange ass... Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #5
IIRC there's video of Anusface blowing Comey a kiss ? Pluvious Jun 2018 #87
Where he hugged Comey? Comey was wrong...and like everyone who climbs into bed with Trump , he Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #117
Misleading headline brooklynite Jun 2018 #6
You made that inference and not me DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #10
"took action TO hurt"...vs "took action THAT hurt" brooklynite Jun 2018 #12
Took is a verb, nothing more and nothing less. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #15
...and THAT is an adverb which qualifies the word TOOK brooklynite Jun 2018 #18
You're really invested in your lil theory, aren't ya ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #20
The word "to" in the headline means that it was the motive. Adding an asterisk... thesquanderer Jun 2018 #76
Yes, especially when explicitly describing it as "the truth and the correct narrative". nt greyl Jun 2018 #21
Did you read Post 19 as I requested, suggested, or instructed ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #29
What's the use? Its words might not actually mean anything. nt greyl Jun 2018 #30
"took actions that" is different from "took actions to" greyl Jun 2018 #16
Please see Post 19. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #22
If post #19 is important, progressoid Jun 2018 #110
The important point here is that this means Trump and Ghouliani can't spin this as the FBI Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #19
That is getting lost in this discussion. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #24
I would agree. I don't think this report will help Trump ET AL from what has Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #27
He is going to spin the report. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #33
He is going to try...but if what is being reported is in the report...blows his BS out of the water. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #40
Means they'll spin it another way; i.e. ooky Jun 2018 #31
It won't work. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #46
It will work with his base. That's it. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #50
Maybe...but it won't work as a pretext to attack the FBI. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #54
It does with his base. Discredit the IG and then they will say any lie they want about the FBI ooky Jun 2018 #81
I understand that ...but I don't think it worked at least today...his base will do what they choose Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #116
I am so turned off by your graphics that I fast forward through the whole thread so that I don't sweatlee Jun 2018 #107
I like my graphics...sorry you don't. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #115
I think Brooklynite is right. bearsfootball516 Jun 2018 #66
I'm not sure it can be claimed that ChiTownDenny Jun 2018 #92
Hey man, normally on your side, but...,. Adrahil Jun 2018 #74
This message was self-deleted by its author OliverQ Jun 2018 #13
Yep. Misleading and intended to mislead. rainin Jun 2018 #28
Now you are impugning my motives. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #35
Really? Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #42
Thank you. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #47
Yes, really. progressoid Jun 2018 #109
I think this was just silly...nitpicking really, and a long term Duer deserves better...Just my two Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #114
making such statements about another poster is so not DU...might want to rethink that. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #56
That's okay. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #62
Yep...well you don't deserve this. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #77
Demsrule86, you're a true friend. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #78
It is obvious that the action harmed Clinton's campaign NY_20th Jun 2018 #34
Why do you think people are focusing on whether I used "to" instead of "that" ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #36
...because you did. brooklynite Jun 2018 #37
My question was directed to NY 20th. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #41
I was not aware that only the person you ask a question of is allowed to reply. brooklynite Jun 2018 #45
You didn't answer my question. Rather than repeat it please see Post 41 DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #49
I'm not speaking for anyone else... brooklynite Jun 2018 #51
That tweet wouldn't fit in the amount of characters we can use in a title here. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #55
I have no idea. NY_20th Jun 2018 #39
Churchill would call it arrant pedantry. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #43
Hillary Clinton said "words matter". greyl Jun 2018 #58
She also said Comey undermined her campaign, did she not ? DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #63
Yes, and I doubt she would post a misleading headline about the IG report. greyl Jun 2018 #67
If it was pointed out to me nicely I might have included the edit in my thread... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #71
Fuck Misleading Headlines. nt greyl Jun 2018 #73
Now DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #75
Please read post #74 carefully. nt greyl Jun 2018 #79
I read it carefully. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #82
What is the logical inference if somebody misstates something and refuses to correct it? mythology Jun 2018 #111
I was doing four things at once. I only mentioned I was doing multiple things four times ITT DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #113
I agree. The headline is significantly misleading. NT enough Jun 2018 #61
Another poster impugning my motives. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #68
Are you being serious? greyl Jun 2018 #70
It is this HARSH, parental, shaming mode of interacting that constipates open dialogue OhNo-Really Jun 2018 #88
Empathy is part and parcel of liberalism DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #90
I will always be puzzled by human harshness. We are being driven towards reclusivity. OhNo-Really Jun 2018 #91
I was doing four things at once and wanted to share the news as soon as I saw it. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #93
Word crafting is .....well, a craft. OhNo-Really Jun 2018 #101
Maybe this will help DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #102

Nothing we didn't know as soon as he concluded his Late Breaking Media Shitshow Wwcd Jun 2018 #11
The next question is why did he do it? Freethinker65 Jun 2018 #14
Sounds very feasible. Duppers Jun 2018 #57
Wrong. He was not supposed to discuss it, and broke protocol when he did lunamagica Jun 2018 #95
I never said he was right to make the statement. I think Nunes, Gowdy, Chaffetz, etc. pressured him Freethinker65 Jun 2018 #98
I don't care today... FarPoint Jun 2018 #32
You are correct in what is the most important, FarPoint. pazzyanne Jun 2018 #52
You know, it is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time lunamagica Jun 2018 #96

This is what I've been saying about Comey all along RandySF Jun 2018 #53
Huh. You don't say... DesertRat Jun 2018 #59
I never liked Comey. ananda Jun 2018 #60
Yep. And Comey's actions worked. The numbers prove it. SunSeeker Jun 2018 #64

Truly ironic cungar2000 Jun 2018 #65
Karma! SunSeeker Jun 2018 #69
Yep cungar2000 Jun 2018 #72
I don't give a crap if the headline is slightly misleading. I just read the article and I understand dameatball Jun 2018 #80
I was literally doing four things at once when I typed the headline. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #84
True THAT! I conquer with what dameatball said! debsy Jun 2018 #85
Even worse to consider maltzmax Jun 2018 #83
