This is what U.S. politics has become: the RNC has published a website called LyinComey.com... [facepalm] I look forward to reading his book.

Not as good/petty as the Fake News Awards or the Mitch McConnell turtle mascot

Also, did James Comey cost Hillary Clinton the election or no?

Good question. Possible, but unlikely. The Rust Belt folks that voted for Trump had made their decision long before.

Stop the coup! :)

Par for the course for the party of semi-sentient bag of wet hair Joe Wilson (remember his “you lie ” exclamation at a SOTU address).

Question: do you think, of all Clinton voters, more were voting for her or against Trump? https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/swing-state-margins/

That’s the government we have - fascists and crypto-fascists alike.

That I don’t know. I just know Hillary is not a James fan.

A lot of people on both sides were voting more *against* the other candidate than *for* their candidate.

Which is pathetic...

Oh, for sure she’s not. It was a major mistake on his part.

Yup. I live in a deep red state, so I had no qualms voting for neither of them.

Sounds like we shouldn’t give James a platform them.

That’s what’s called getting ahead of the story.

Can we rename the RNC because they are not conservatives or have any values of any sort?

Hopeful that the rule of law (and decency) and our checks and balances prevail before too long. This has already gone on much longer than I’d hoped.

It’s very clear that “Republican” now means the party of Trump.

I think the word you’re looking for is “desperation”.

One mistake doesn’t completely take away a person’s credibility. I surely would trust his version of events far more than our president’s...

And if his book somehow helps get Trump out of office sooner rather than later, I’d be thankful for that.

Hopefully you voted at least! My parents (and their spouses) are in Wisconsin, where votes mattered - at least two of them voted for someone other than Trump or Clinton.

True, but may also be folks out there whose decision to not vote at all was solidified by the Comey announcement. We’ll never know the true impact it had, but was a horrible misjudgment either way.

I’m beginning to wonder if he is really a secret agent for the Democrats. A highly unusual move to blow up the republican party from the inside in an effort to sweep the democrats into a super majority position.

That’s my conspiracy theory. I’ll just start making my latest tinfoil hat.

I think we have another 31 months or so of it, and even then, good luck. It’ll take at least a generation to correct this mess.

I’m afraid you’re probably right, but still holding out hope.

He’s definitely no Democrat - they hate him. I see it as an effort to bring the truth to light (and clearly, he stands to make A LOT of money, so it’s not all noble).

So much for morals, family values, small government, self-reliance, rule of law, etc eh.

The idea of a secret agent/plant/trojan horse actually holds some water.

I’d rather have babbly but incompetent 45 than his quietly plotting and likely more apt and scarily regressive replacement.

I voted, but just couldn’t put a mark down for president. No write-ins in my state and Gary Johnson’s “what is Aleppo?” prevented me from giving him my vote.

Well, to be fair he was a Democrat for a long time. He’s only a Republican because of the presidential race, for all intents and purposes.

Our politicians are like a bunch of 13-year-old trolls who just discoverer the Internet last month.

Definitely scary to think of his little fingers close to the button, I guess I hope/think cooler heads will keep him away from it. I don’t predict WW3, but I expect constant national embarrassment on the global stage for awhile yet.

Comey? I think you’re referring to Trump.

No, it was everybody that voted for Deez Nuts that is to blame.

Yep, Trump - I’m still subscribing to the outside theory that Trump is a Dem prop. Otherwise I can’t explain why the media obsesses over his every move. It’s almost like they’re working together.

I mean, Bill Clinton basically encouraged him to run. But I’m pretty confident he didn’t expect that he’d actually win...

I like to think/hope that even some of the gong show are stable geniuses enough to not let him go all the way. That’s all we can do.

I’d rather risk that than Pence, who has some pretty deplorable views, and is probably more able to put things in motion.
