a likely scenario of the GOP losing the House

I just don't think it's that likely. But a razor-thin majority that helps keep Paul Ryan from doing anything is pretty plausible.

oh cool might be time for a revive of Joe Lieberman RIP

what kinda crimes wd a Joementum FBI obsess on, i wonder

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 17 May 2017 18:59 (seven years ago) link

this is a weird thing to say but I think Lieberman is too smart to walk into this buzzsaw tbh

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 19:00 (seven years ago) link

apparently he's agreeing to be interviewed, so....

k3vin k., Wednesday, 17 May 2017 19:03 (seven years ago) link

well he loves having his ego stroked

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 19:04 (seven years ago) link

Fun fact: Lieberman has been operating under a curse that compels him to answer "yes" to anything ever asked of him. This is why he ate a tire last week, and was on the sidewalk offering free foot rubs the other day.

He might as well nominate MC Skat Cat.

honestly just seems like the kind of guy who will go along with whatever you want him to if you stroke his ego enough, as shakey mentioned. a pretty rare bird these days, actually

As for Joe

Lieberman won't say if he'd accept FBI dir job if offered. Tells @JoeNBC&@JesseRodriguez "it was unexpected. Not something I was seeking."

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 19:25 (seven years ago) link

dude has zero law enforcement experience except this?

From 1983 to 1989, he served as Connecticut Attorney General.[25] In the 1986 general election, Lieberman won more votes than any other Democrat on the statewide ticket, including Governor William O'Neill.[26] As Attorney General, Lieberman emphasized consumer protection and environmental enforcement.

he also helped create the garbage dept. of homeland security.

"It was unexpected" and "Not something I was seeking" pretty much the two stand-by responses most would have to anything Trump does.

i don't believe it. a GOP president who leaked classified info in the oval office to the russians, who just hacked our election and punked the USA, couldn't possibly be more corrupt

lol so what is Trump's travel schedule for next week - is he gonna be in Israel while Comey's testifying in the House?

This guy is seriously the worst of the worst, but I was worried about him being tapped for FBI chief! Honestly, I'd rather have him sitting in an office with nice letterhead biding time until he gets a Fox News slot (2 years max) than actually continuing to oversee police and inmates in Wisconsin.

would tend to agree with this

sucks to have his crimes validated with a promotion but if it keeps him off the streets that's a good thing

Worrywarts worry:

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/17/trump-comey-testify-congress-reaction-238496

Republicans quickly split into factions — from defending Trump and blaming the media on one end, to calling for a special prosecutor and even raising the specter of impeachment on the other — as they responded to news that Trump allegedly pressured the former FBI director to drop the agency's investigation of Trump's ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Many others demanded that Comey testify and turn over private memos documenting his conversations with Trump.

Privately, Republicans are plainly distressed and even panicked over what a prolonged scandal could mean for their agenda and grip on power. Some wonder if Trump will still be president next year, while others are frustrated that the White House hasn't done more damage control. Chatter has begun about what a President Mike Pence might look like.

And many lawmakers don't want to defend Trump publicly because they don't know what damaging revelation will come next.
