If you’re looking for insights as to what the real impact of today’s #ComeyHearings will be for the Trump regime, why not turn to the world’s greatest experts on all things Trump, the endlessly babbling TrumpTrainers of Reddit’s TheDonald?
Here are the 6 hottest hot takes I found in TheDonald today.
1) This is all part of Trump’s brilliant strategy of 4D chess!
2) Wait, did I say Trump was playing 4D chess? I meant Putin.
3) This is all part of a devious plot to kill midwestern Trump voters by starting a war with Russia!
4) This is all part of a devious plot to ensure that no one will ever be able to criticize Hillary Clinton.
5) Comey should be fired for opposing EXCELLENCE and WINNING.
6) Somehow this whole thing increases the credibility of … Roger Stone!
We are through the looking glass, people!
FBI director draws fire for apparent ‘double standard’ on secrets

@Viscaria
Maybe they go right to a war as a solution for a social problem for similar reasons as white supremacists who go to a race war to solve a social problem. I don’t really know, but the similarities seem interesting. Maybe it’s a projection related assumption on thier part. It’s how they would manuver things so they assume it in opponents.
@David:
(Emphasis mine)
There might be more than one. What percentage of subreddits are infested with the alt-Right?
I’m not even being hyperbolic when I say Comey should be jailed for treason. It’s pretty clear that he was doing everything he could to throw the election to Trump. I just don’t see any other reason for his actions.
I get some small measure of satisfaction knowing that Trump’s incompetence and corruption is already making his job extremely difficult but it’s not enough. He’s done serious damage to this country and hurt global politics in general.
Here is thought all of Reddit was an alt-right site.
In other news Tim Allen ‘compared being a conservative in Hollywood to living in 1930s Germany.’
Conservatives aren’t even being investigated and blacklisted like lefties in Hollywood were during various red scares. Let alone put in concentration camps or killed.
STFU, Tim Allen.
You know how the alt-right threw an extended tantrum over Streep’s Golden Globes speech, calling her (among other things) an out-of-touch actress?
What would Allen be touted as with this:
A brave warrior? “Just tellin it like it is”?
Agree with WWTH. STFU, Tim Allen. You’re hardly a fucking victim.
If you have no intent, why did you speak? You clearly didn’t intend to, so how did you come to say anything? Break a perfectly good silence. Here’s the thing, Tim, you ain’t slick. You know it’s a ‘bad word’, or you wouldn’t be defending your use of it. You know why you shouldn’t be saying it, or you wouldn’t be tryna convince everyone that you’re not a racist. You know all that and still say it. I’m finding it a little difficult to believe there’s no intent to that…
WWTH:
Do you see any credible path from where we are to Comey being jailed? I agree that he’s dirty, but I’m pessimistic that he’ll ever pay for that. At worst he’ll lose his job… and find a lucrative job elsewhere, where he can exploit his inside knowledge and connections.
Old white men can’t have anything off limits to them, can they?
@gijoel
“I’m not racist even though I casually use racist words, I didn’t mean it or anything it just kind of happens.”
Fuck off Allen.The vast majority of mainstream movies didn’t suffer from lack of white cis het male protagonists Allen.
Nope. As Clarence Darrow said ” There is no very great danger of a rich man going to jail.”
Actually, most of these quotes describe Trump’s America

It’s sad how little changes.
re: Tim Allen
Well, there’s yet another actor to avoid. Maybe it would just be easier to avoid all the old white ones.
I’ve avoided Tim Allen for a good long while anyways. It’s not like he’s actually funny.
Anyway, another Darrow quote that’s relevant to today
Sorry. I could read Darrow quotes all day.
Guess Darrow never anticipated Trump.
The Republican Party has been unknowingly preparing the road that led to Trump for over 50 years. Trump is merely the culmination of the Southern Strategy.
@Ooglyboggles, wierwood and others
Couldn’t agree with you guys more. Allen’s comments display an appalling ignorance of history. It’s the sort of comment a poorly educated man would make when you prick the bubble of his entitlement.
