This guy is trolling the presidential elections in Serbia (April) in the most creative way. He's actually gaining traction which is most pleasing. He's my favorite. No translation, sadly, but this is his latest campaign video :)

"Trump spins conspiracy theory around Comey 'no comment'The president of the United States tweets from his official account a snippet of testimony in which the director of the FBI declines to comment on classified briefings between himself and the past president.
The current president frames the testimony as a dodge by Comey, saying that the director “refuses to deny” he briefed Obama.
Perfectly equally, of course, Comey here “refuses to confirm.”
But that’s now how Trump wishes to spin the moment. The tweet suggests that Comey here is engaging in implicit confirmation. Trump is encouraging conspiracy-minded speculation about Comey and Obama. The kind of speculation that would discredit the integrity of the FBI, Congress and the presidency and of these proceedings."

"According to the CIA website, CIA Agent income ranges from $52,976 to $81,204 per year. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that federal Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators earn an annual average income of $68,820."
These salaries sounds super low! No?
- they figure most of them get some work on the side working for other countries at the same time.sarahfailin
- that does seem lowscarabin
- def seems low. Surprised by this!Krassy

- I suppose, in the CIA's case, agents gets perks like paid travel expenses (flights and posh-ish hotels), and can expense just about everything.Continuity

The little bit of the hearing I caught earlier made me think Trump's days are seriously numbered.
Seems like a lot of the questioning was set out to undermine his capacity for rationality and the responses from the questioned were illuminating in their brevity.
- Yep I agree totally. The evidence better be good to squash all the talk of a witch hunt though.fadein11

Might as well proclaim the earth is flat and call it a day.

Lol, Spicy was funny today. Anyone here watch it? He had one of those episodes again where he screams at the press from the podium lmao. He told the press dont assume anything about Trumps Russia connections, and in the same breath told us there was nothing there. Um, how does he KNOW that?
So then, as expected, the press said to him, "Well arent you assuming there's nothing there, right after you just told us not to assume there is something there?", and he got all twisted into a pretzel trying to wiggle out of that. Oops
Then while the hearing was going on before that Trump tweeted out that the FBI and NSA said there was nothing to be found. Uhhhhh thats not what they said! They finally confirmed they are investigating it. Thats all they would say about that. They confirmed nothing at all. And of course everyone is flipping out on social media about him lying about it. In what world do we live in where its ok for the president to lie directly to the public with no consequences at all??
Right now, shouldnt there be someone bringing this up to him? "Mr President, you just lied directly to the american people. Maybe we should clear things up here before it blows up into yet another scandal?" Nope, buncha yes men tools around him.
- Not just lying ... but lying in real time, along with the hearing as it progressed.Continuity

Today's testimony, or whatever that was, changed nothing. No new information, no clarification of ongoing investigation. They reconfirmed the investigation, yet deny spying on the president before he was in office. How CIA and other intelligence agencies conduct investigations into people's private lives without spying is still a mystery.
Some leading Dems who have met with the CIA have already started warning against there being any smoking guns which would implicate Trump. So far the only crimes that anyone can conclusively point to are the leaks to the press.
After 6 months of these accusations, if they had anything even remotely incriminating we would have been well on our way to an impeachment by now. One thing is conclusive, some desperately want war with Russia. Already going as far as stating that Russian interference should be looked as an act of war.
- I had that thing on tv in the background while working. it seemed like a nothing burger, to me. but I didn't watch it allGnash
- it didn't seem to fit the "worst day for the president yet" rhetoric that cnn is going withGnash
- The statement given by Comey that utopian just linked to seems pretty fair and bland.IRNlun6
- Questions were no different than what we've already heard. Just more noise to keep the circus rolling.IRNlun6
- It was confirmed that Trump lied when he said Obama was spying on him. He literally just made that up, and his supporters believed it.reanimate
- So what you're saying is that Trump was justnhis classic lying piece of shit when he made the accusation. It changes shit.monospaced
- For once someone is talking some sense in this thread and it gets downvotes. Sad times.********

- Yep, he's the only dumb bigot. The only one in the world. And don't forget his tirade against foreigners and poor people. - Insanity.********

I can only imagine what the outcome of the election would have been had Comey confirmed that as well as "re-examining Clinton's emails", the FBI was also investigating the Trump campaign for possible links to Russia.
- they actually had her emails, though. i don't think they had anything other than speculation on trumpGnash
- ^ You dont know that. We dont know what they have on Trump. Could be very damning stuff for all we know, but they arent done yet.CygnusZero4
- Once they are completely finished looking into this, then we'll know what they have or dont have.CygnusZero4
- Bottom line is this is a black cloud over the white house until the case is closed.CygnusZero4

Could you even imagine sitting in the white house, and then finding out that the dude who helped you get elected, who you just allowed to keep his job, turns around and is investigating YOU? Lmao ouch.
It reminds me of that scene from office space where Lumbergh is running around telling everyone what theyre doing wrong with the TPS reports, then the Bob's turn around and start looking into him. Same exact thing that happened to Trump yesterday.
