McCain claims his questioning went over people's heads.

Got that?

McCain didn't sound confused or drunk or senile or intentionally trying to drag Clinton into it.

He was talking over our heads.

Just read the comment from McCain on MSNBC. (per Brian Williams)

Rachel Maddow MSNBC?Verified account @maddow 4h4 hours ago

I think what Sen McCain is saying is that FBI should investigate if Hillary Clinton colluded with the Russians to hurt her own campaign. OK.

When are his colleagues going to approach him and tell him it's time to hang 'em up?

Super glad now he didn't get elected as these signs had to have been obvious for a while now.

Amendment 25 might have been invoked a year or two ago and Palin would have become president and eligible to run again, and again.

We dodged that bullet only to be hit by the trump train.

Thu Jun 8, 2017, 05:06 PM
Jun 2017

"Director Comey, you said that the Russians were trying to hack into our elections. Has the Clinton campaign been investigated? If not, why not?"

This is what you actually said (and I'm making it succinct.)

"Director Comey, the Russians were trying to hack into our elections and you said that current investigation hasn't been completed, but you were able to complete an investigation into Hillary Clinton's e-mails. Why did you finish one so fast, while the other has taken so much time, because isn't it possible the Democrats helped the Russians hack into the elections?"



Now, Jackass, that's clear, but the reason you were so damned incomprehensible is that they were TWO DIFFERENT INVESTIGATIONS AND YOU HAD NO WAY TO TIE THE TWO TOGETHER because...wait for it...THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER.

He tried to spin it so badly that it spun out of control.
