In reply to the discussion: "My confidence has been shook": Dems furious after meeting with James Comey - but they can't say why [View all]Texin
(2,851 posts)When a professional politician (most of whom are lawyers who have argued cases before the bench, FFS!) can't complete a sentence coherently because they're so shaken by what they've been briefed with, it renders me horrified and deeply alarmed.
We're all seriously fucked here, folks. This is bad on a level I don't think we've ever experienced in the last hundred years or more. This is bad approaching a level that the poor GIs faced when entering Auschwitz for the first time or walking in the nuclear debris following Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These guys had seen and been through their own personal hell during the conflict, but what they saw was nightmarish beyond description (based on personal observations made by my own father and uncles). Again, when members of congress are so shaken to their core, you know that this briefing contained information that they themselves had never thought imaginable in a president-elect, and the prospect of this abomination actually taking office next week must scare the shit out of them. God knows it scares the shit out of me! And I don't think there's anything for it either! The goddamn rethugs are certainly not going to lift a finger to do anything about it, you know that everyone, right?
