Reminds me of those scenes in DS9 showing fleets of Dominion warships.

The "Freedom Caucus" is such a fucking joke.

And stupid.

No. I think he's just tired of me telling him to take his tin foil hat off. he's a smart guy, but he just wanted Hillary to be super guilty of something for some reason. I think it stems from him being in the military. Those guys have a habit of thinking with their hearts and not with their brains.

When will people start holding others accountable for believing the GOP's completely obvious bullshit? Like at what point can we say that their judgment is obviously compromised? BECAUSE IT IS.

He will go down in history as the man who fell on his sword. History will also remember him as the man who rose from his knees, pulled out the same sword, and swung back at the GOP.

Better FBI recruiting commercial than the one with the Marine swordfighting the dragon.

It's a TV Series, even better!

There needs to be a "(your city name) against Nazis" in every city.

I'm so afraid of the Boomer generation. I just talked to my dad about this hearing taking place and asked him about it, and he sided with the Republicans. He's not a Republican himself, nor does he watch Fox News, but he's fallen for the propaganda that "both sides are the same" and that "everyone is corrupt". I ended up having to give him another lecture (like a child, which irritates me because he's nearly three times my age) about why you shouldn't take the Republicans at their word, and he ultimately agreed with me, but this happens almost every week. I'll try to educate him, pull some facts and easily-proven examples of wrongdoing exclusive to the right-wing, have some fun and watch a few documentaries here and there with him, but he reverts back to his black and white views within a week.

There's something fundamentally wrong with the Boomer generation. They have drunk the koolaid of political propaganda for decades until their minds have been soaked, and deep down in their core they have become changed beyond recognition. I'm not even sure it's exclusive to Boomers, but older generations all over the world seem to be mentally degraded and inextricably politically charged. Looking back on Ireland's repeal of the abortion ban as an example, it was all young women in favor of the repeal and almost exclusively old hags that wanted the government to take away womens' right to choose. Too many old people are brazen in their ignorance, proud in their lack of knowledge, and stuck in their twisted ideals so tightly that not even a jackhammer can free them. This is what we're up against: The most gullible generation ever being fed propaganda from all angles and at all times. I fear they can't be saved, but even moreso, I fear their apathy and scholarly negligence will doom the world if we don't outnumber them when it comes time to save Democracy.

I'm glad you mentioned older generations all over the world, because my parents are part of a minority religious community in Florida that acts exactly like what you describe, and they're not even Caucasian.

99.9% of America is not watching. Especially Trump supporters. They'll only watch a few soundbites FOX chooses to show that makes the FBI look bad.

Us users of r/politics is not a representative sample of the American public watching. People just don't care. They don't pay attention. They're too busy going to work, worrying about bills, taking their kids to soccer practice to take the work (and yes this is work) to stay on top of what our government is doing. It lets Republicans do what they want, because so few people are actually paying attention.

It would be nice to see something like an ad budget to persuade people to care about the workings of government added to a political platform, something like "working to increase civic engagement" or whatever.

This is like the opposite of a undercover cop posing as a prostitute. It'd be like pretending to be a "John," soliciting sex, and then arresting the prostitute. But why???

Also, no mention is made of a patron complaining, resisting, or removing themseld from the stage area to avoid contact with Clifford. So these officers weren't rescuing helpless citizens from sexual assault, they saw an opportunity to arrest her (and ultimately discredit her), and took it.

They're MAGAmites who want to help their God Emperor.

I recall this being covered on that documentary "South Park".

Extra external batteries for your phone, a chair. Sometimes I’ll buy a trade to read just for a line, and people will ask about it and you can talk comics. It’s not like waiting in line at the DMV or the emergency room, if you’re in line for something it’s because you’re all fans of the same thing probably.

Mueller just needs a case of subpoena pads at this point.
