What does this actually mean in English?

It means I'm Doing A Lame Job Covering My Ass.

The tap dancing beginneth.
I really hope and pray that the trials and sentencing of these bottom dwelling east coast almost humans occurs before the reelection of the Trumpster.

[LoveMyFreedom]

Time to get the popcorn out and enjoy the show! I hope they ALL get prison time for what they did to this President and our Country!

"we took it seriously” but “we didn’t necessarily take it literally” and did not treat it as “literally true in every respect.”

And we trust the FBI to intercept terrorists AND KEEP US SAFE?

Has anyone bothered to ask this douche EXACTLY WHAT PART OF THE DOSSIER DID YOU TAKE SERIOUSLY?

[rolling_stone]

I take treason and false affidavits to a judge very seriously

I think this is recycled from the 2016 campaign coverage by Salena Zito.

She said that Democrats don’t take Trump seriously — but they take his every remark completely literally, which is why they laugh and call him a clown.

On the other hand, she said, Trump supporters don’t take him literally. They understand that he is a brash New Yorker who says things for effect. But while they don’t take him literally, they do take him seriously. And they recognize him as a patriot and a man of great accomplishments.

All these bastards are starting to squirm. lol.

[PigRigger]

Did they tell the FISA court that?

[workerbee]

Squirm?!? They need to SWING!!!

[SpaceBar]

The ‘thesaurus defense’.

[blackdog]

Well I never took reports of Obama being born in Kenya literally?

[jacknhoo]

They took it so seriously, they never even attempted to verify it.

[LegendHasIt]

Well, we take the 0bama-FBI-CIA-DOJ cabal as seriously corrupt and insane, even if they are not necessarily literally so.

[blackdog]

Well apparently the FISA courts don’t care a wit. Try that $hit as a sally citizen.

[pepsi_junkie]

The best their crack legal mind can come up with is “we didn’t believe it but we had to be sure....”

[existentially_kuffer]

Man, this is the best they have!?!?

Kamala Harris has ardent supporters for her POTUS “eligibility” here.

Yep. Comey and Brennan are already starting.

[smvoice]

Now I see why the U.S. has come this close to imploding

1. We took Al Qaeda seriously. But not necessarily literally.
2. We took the safety of our borders seriously. But not necessarily literally.
3.We took Islam seriously, but not necessarily.

These POS took EVERYTHING that WAS TRULY CRITICAL TO OUR COUNTRY’S SURVIVAL SERIOUSLY”. BUT NOT NECESSARILY “literally”
This whole bunch of traitors need to be FORCE-FED THE CONSTITUTION UNTIL THEY CHOCK TO DEATH ON IT.

It's around this time frame in their freak out that they will start throwing the Jesus card in our faces.

Y'all know the one when they start quoting about how Jesus said turn another cheek. They grab onto that one every single time they're in trouble.

I'm not a turn your cheek Christian. I am a I will destroy anyone that messes with me or mine Christian.

Conservatives need to stop reacting and because we do know their playbooks they use (it's the same every single time) need to get in front of it rather than ALWAYS playing catch up.
