There is nothing buffoonish about a man, of any color, eating popcorn.

If it wasn't Magic Johnson it wouldn't have become a meme.

No need for you to defend it. I find it vaguely racist and have stated why. Doesn't make any difference to me if it's Shaw, Magic or Le Bron.. seems like this an image some white folks like and consider amusing. Do you like it?

I can identify many more US Senators, including the ones of color, than I can athletes in any sport. It's a matter of what a person is interested in.

And the only person in this thread who thought Magic Johnson (yes, I know who he is) looked "buffoonish" was your enlightened self.

But that didn't mean the investigation wouldn't involve him.

Sounds like Trump took a very broad interpretation of the very narrow statement that Comey gave him.

He may not have been a target of a specific investigation, but he certainly was a focus of concern, plus the content that we have not seen might have made him a specific target for the first time because of a specific impression of obstruction of justice.

No worries for us so far. Many worries for Drumpf, hopefully.

the 'you should've alerted asswipe what he was saying was inappropriate' bullcrap that the pukes have come up with as a talking point.

Talk about a spineless clown.

I guess we're supposed to ignore the fact that if Comey had started advising the Marmalade Moron on his conduct, he's stepping onto an entirely different but equally slippery slope.

He sounds truthful, that is..sometimes he says, , that maybe I should have done this differently..or we discussed this and we were stunned...or How unsure he was to respond to Trump...
.....But whether you like him or hate him, as I watched him a moment ago, it seems totally truthful. ..He says he didn't know what to do......and that is how most of us would take it...
..........So....then he discussed it with his fellow workers....and glues what?
.................that is what most of us would do......................You know...the tone of his testimony..at 11:10am ET....is that the truth....will destroy Trump..and nothing can change that........
