I’ve noticed this with the more ardent Trump supporters. They respond to any criticism of Trump, even if very indirect (such as someone posting a news story that casts one or more of his decisions in a negative light), as a personal affront. I don’t understand that mindset at all. Any politician I’ve ever supported I also criticized. He seems to almost have the status of a saint in some people’s minds… he can do no wrong, say no wrong, and any criticism, any hesitation towards embracing him is almost akin to blasphemy. Its just plain weird. Bush supporters still acknowledged he had faults. Obama supporters still acknowledged he had faults.
This was a cute one. Some Trump supporters got confused by an advertisement for Man in the High Castle. They though it was anti-Trump rather than a TV show that premiered in 2015 based on a book from 1962. Gee, I wonder why they though it was about Trump 🤷

These guys are really defensive. Heck, had HC been president they would be complaining and they would argue, I have every right to fo so. But the tables are turned and they get offended. Go figure 🤷🤷🤷
 
He’s my President and the first one I have felt good about in decades. Why can’t I be a proud American again? Do I have to wallow in the doom and gloom with yall? Of course not and I won’t!
Of course you can support Trump. You just seem to put him on an incredibly high pedestal, and act like he is some kind of Second Coming who can do no wrong. You also seem to take any criticism of him incredibly personally, instead of something that every President is subject to.

Look, as much as we’ve jousted on the forums here, I have nothing against you personally. I disagree with you on some stuff, and I think your total devotion to Trump is a little over the top, but I don’t think you’re a bad person or anything. I don’t consider you an “enemy” or anything. I’d be happy to crack a beer with you at some point. But I just get the sense you view someone criticizing Trump as akin to them coming to your house and insulting your wife and kicking your dog.

POTUS:
FBI Director Comey refuses to deny he briefed President Obama on calls made by Michael Flynn to Russia.
Why refuse to deny, Comey?
I’ve been listening to the hearing today and he’s provided the answer to your question several times. He says the FBI doesn’t make comments in a public setting on who it did or did not meet with in a classified setting. He’s also said they do not make public statements on whether or not the details are correct when a story is released about a classified setting. To do so would itself be releasing classified information.

The 25 second clip on twitter is shall we say missing a lot of information from the full discussion.

So basically he’s saying he’ll answer when he wants to and not when he doesn’t want to. Everything he has talked about has been in a classified setting one way or another. How is it he can freely answer some questions and not all?

Comey also refuses to say for sure whether illegal leakers of classified information will be investigated, even though he hopes that people know they take protection of classified information very very very very seriously.

See, he always finds a way to not answer a question he doesn’t want to answer.
He’s a Democrat hack now. He gives the dems what they want. Law be damned

He’s a good guy when he throws the election for Trump, but he’s a “Democratic hack” when he can’t substiate Trump’s discredited tweets. Even FoxNews - FoxNews - has said there were no wiretaps.

So Fox News knows this, how? They are best buddy with Obama?

Even Comey has not said there were no wiretaps. He only said he has no information to support the specific wording of Trump’s tweet. Talk about being convoluted!

Right! They are rewording Comey now!

Nobody in the White House actually believes that Obama wiretapped Trump tower. It’s as ridiculous as the claim that Obama is a Muslim from Kenya. Sure Trumps folks are running around to make it seem like he’s not completely nuts or simply don’t want to provoke his rage and are going along with it.

I thought Russia was responsible for the Trump win! Now you are saying its Comey? Can’t bring yourself to blame Hillary?

Nothing has been said about his desire to answer or not answer.

He’s given information on the types of things on which he does not comment and the reasons for doing so. One, but not the only reason given was that providing such comments could contribute to the public disclosure of classified information. One example provided was let’s say the FBI decided to make comments on any story in the news that wasn’t true. By itself this may seem harmless to some but it creates a behaviour whereby someone can infer whether a story is true or not based on how the FBI responds to it.

I think it would be better if you watched the hearing yourself instead of relying on summaries from myself of the Potus.

I think you’d need to be watching the hearings to make that assertion.

Questions on alleged classified meetings have been met “I cannot comment on that” and other wordings that express the same thing. Many hypothetical questions have received similar answers because according to Comney there are other details that are not defined for the hypothetical that could affect the evaluation. When someone asked what he should do to engage in an interaction with a foreign entity and ensure that he doesn’t get investigated Comney informed him the FBI doesn’t give advisory statements on that.
How is it he can freely answer some questions and not all?
I again encourage you to listen to the hearings and make an assessment based on the actual hearing and not from comments on twitter or this forum.

This seems to follow a principal that it touched on in courses on discrete math and in logic. To give an informal example of something that falls under the same principal if someone said there were roaches in your house there can exists evidence of roaches having been in your house such as a roach still being there or by one of the many things that roaches sometimes leave behind . If none of this evidence is found someone can say that they don’t find any evidence for roaches in your house.

The hearing just ended. I’m sure the entire video will be available online.

I hope everyone who wouldn’t give Cruz or Kasich a chance is happy. Trump is jeopardizing national security and our republic’s system of checks and balances. And for what? The possiblity of a SCOTUS seat? I’m not quite sure the damage he has done thus far, and continues to do, was worth it. 🤷

Sorry, Judges are doing that. They have no checks and balances
 
More presidential according to you? Maybe he should lose some weight and start playing more basketball and golf. Would that be presidential enough? I’m sorry he can’t change his race.
I am not sure a person can play much more golf than he does now.

Let’s be clear - the loss was Hillary’s fault. But Comey certainly hurt her. He is a GOPer, no question.
