It is Comey Day 6/8

[curbsideprophet]

Who will be watching? What channel do you plan to watch?

Trying to not get my hopes up that anything will come of this but it is hard.

[Velar Fricative]

I am taking a break from willing this baby to come out this morning so I can watch. Not sure what channel I'll pick yet.

Yay for working from home!

I never expect immediate results but I'm patient and appreciate the increasing amount of shitshows.

[Bernadine]

I'm so mad, our staff meeting is at 10.

[bex]

I don't know where I'm watching! Maybe MSNBC since that's my go-to now lol.

I'm so excited. I've scheduled my day around it. I canceled a hair appointment.

[gibbinator]

When does it all start? Any online live feeds (we cut cable)? I hope Canadian IPs aren't blocked.

Someone on Twitter said this feels like the end of the beginning. Unfortunately, that could take 6-12 months before we segue into the next part. Unless he resigns (and I have a different opinion on that every day), he'll make it through most if not all of his term.

I still have low expectations for today because of my opinion of Republicans. Comey basically said "don't come at me with any of this unmasking and leak nonsense" when he asked for his opening statement to be released. But they will. I'm preparing myself to be infuriated.

I'm hoping BBC and CNN International will show it - definitely planning on drinking while I watch! Did you see the Bingo card?

[W.T.Faulkner]

I don't believe anything meaningful will be done to stop Trump after this, but I do find all this amusing.

"You didn't ask me to stop the Flynn investigation? I think not, motherfucker (puts on reading glasses, unrolls scroll). January 6, 2017..."

10 eastern. Though MSNBC wa starting coverage at 9. I assume CSPAN will have it online.

[winecat]

I have a lunch gig and then a class at the library so I'll be counting on CEP.

[lovelovelove]

I'm just excited that "showboat" Comey is getting all this buzz- I hope it's driving Dampnut to drink. It makes me super uncomfortable though that even from his jail cell* he'll probably call his presidency a success bc of all the ratings from stuff like this.

My local npr will be carrying the testimony and commentating. Happy Comey Day!


*fingers crossed

[Velar Fricative]

I think I kinda wanna watch Fox News' coverage on this.

J/k are they even airing it? Or are they just showing a replay of the Benghazi hearings?

[bex]

oh it starts at 10! I had 9 in my head. 10 is better. I can get actual work done beforehand lol.

[bex]

I will add that I kind of want to watch it on a broadcast channel like CBS, because I think its great that they are airing it. (My parents don't have cable and my mom goes nuts bc she misses stuff like this.)

[cous0226]

Am going to try and watch online at work. I hope there is a site that has a good feed. Please share if anyone knows. I did set up my dvr at home too.

It's funny because I feel as thought the media is trolling 45 because they know he watches tv day and night. They keep mentioning that he hasn't tweeted in 24 hours.

Same. Think I'll go with NBC since CBS is on my shit list for firing Scott Pelley.

[rupertpenny]

How long does this thing last? I might try to stay up but it starts at 11 pm here so I doubt I'll make it through the whole thing.

What?  I didn't know they fired him.  NBC is on my shit list for forcing Tamron Hall out.

We do have cable but if David Muir is going to be on my TV this morning for this, I will watch on ABC.

Yep. The deplorables didn't like the truth from him.

I forgot about all the Today Show fuckery. Looks like ABC will get my final rose.

[One Girl In All The World]

The universe is conspiring against me. I wfh and usually don't have calls on Thursday, but somehow I have three stacked back to back from 10:30-12:30. Hopefully they are all short so I can watch in between...

I've been watching all the press conferences, confirmation hearings, etc just on YouTube. If you just search Comey hearing, there will be a ton of live feeds.

Noooo I want him to be all alone losing his mind on Twitter

Kamala Harris is going to stream it live on her FB. I imagine NPR and WaPo, NYT etc will also stream it live if you can get to FB.

If he takes a bathroom break, then all bets are off.

[mrshandy]

I'm working from home, but I have meetings from 10-12. 

I'll have to keep it on mute most of the time. 

[ginandjucie24]

My H downloaded the C Span radio app so he can listen at work, since headphones are allowed.

10 am is nap in our house, so I will be able to watch at least an hour uninterrupted. .
