Is justice Comey for Trump?

It might go on past 4, or even end earlier, I only know that it starts at 3!

I'd vote for twiglets: a strongly polarising snack that people either love or loathe and that can camouflage in with the table if necessary!

Anything orange e.g. cheesy wotsits and... erm... oranges

Chocolate cake

Spicey stuff

Pain

Also the most bigly breadsticks ever, all 6ft8 of them! Just break a bit off, munch munch and watch the drama unfold

Noooo twiglets. Can go for oranges, we'll satsumas, and tacos for a bit of spice. Don't think this foetus will allow me to eat much else :(

Re dinner with Comey, Obama et al - I think we could solve the problem of prison over population by sentencing criminals to dinner with Trump, Treeza, Farage, Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins. The worse the crime, the longer the dinner.

And they will be served a fine selection of middle eastern dishes.

Happy Comey Day to all!

Good morning Across and a happy Comey Day to you too!

Late answer cozie (darn that time difference) but I do have a GOP Representative. But a Democratic Senator. Remember we have TWO governing bodies: the House of Representatives and the Senate, each elected separately. Two Senators per State and a certain number of Representatives based on a State's population.

Oh! It's Election Day there in the UK today, isn't it? Everyone get out and vote!

Gah! Forgot purse when went out to vote so unable to buy special Comey Snacks™.

Never mind, have 3 types of cheese, biscuits and grapes.

Happy Comey Day Across

Here we are

Ah. I wondered if it might be that, Across.

Still .........and as you said. Go figure!

Are there personal loyalties in play?

Is that card for Comey's testimony or Trump's tweets?

This means he is free to tweet whilst the hearing is going on!

Thanks, Roussette. I'm brewing a big pot of covfefe to enjoy with my big tall slice of Comey as I type.

Here's to the start of a new day in government in the U.K. and the end of the current one here.

I rather think it does mean that, Roussette.

Lweji I think it's a bingo for Trump personally... there's lots of bingo cards out there, need to find a Big Tall Comey one

No, cozie, it's because Senators are elected by the State populace and Representatives are elected by District. More Dems in the State, but more GOP in my District.

Ah. Straightforward as that..........

I'm picturing WH staff going crazy inventing 'fake' crises and legislation to distract Scrotus from the TV.

"Mr Trump, sir! There's been a terror attack in Whattaboutastan! It's, ah, Death Eaters firing off Cruciatus curses! Here's your speech to rehearse before we go live in the Rose Garden'!"

"Oh no sir!!!! There's an, erm, invasion of Autobots in Micronesia! Quick read this diplomatic paper (full of pics and bulletpoints)!"

"Sir Sir! There's a, a, a, spill of Kryptonite in Nebraska! Very Bad! Stand in front of this (fake) camera and read this statement to the Nation"

"Mr President! Sir! Mr Comey is single-handedly destroying your credibility!"

Oh wait! That last one's real!

I bet Trump will barricade him and his phone in a room!

This timeline is very interesting in light of what is about to occur with the Hearing...

No need to follow him.

You also don't need to be a member of twitter (I'm not)

I expect his two meetings today are full on and stressful etc... but it doesn't seem like a very busy day, if I'm honest! I don't expect him to be back to back, non stop but he's got the morning off and then one short speech which someone else has probably written for him. I guess the summit could be busier but.. just seems a bit light.

But what do I know?

I'm watching on BBC Parliament now with some others being questioned. Senator Mark Warner (Dem) just used the phrase "The President is not above the law".

It's going to be a fun afternoon!
