Merged Trump Fires Comey....

[a_unique_person]

Trump calls Comey a "showboat" and "grandstander" .

 

[Tsukasa Buddha]

Has it?

• Trump steaks
• Trump Airlines
• Trump casinos
• Trump wine
• Trump bankruptcies
• Over 3000 law suits against him
• Some have opined that he would be worth more if he simply had invested all of daddy's money in an indexed fund.

But to be fair, let's list his successes:

• Born to a wealthy father.

Did I forget something?

According to what data is known, he underperforms his peers and the market.

Regardless of why it wasn't tested, it wasn't tested.

You act as if Nixon didn't commit the crime of obstruction of justice. Granted, he never was charged with a criminal offense but I can assure you the one offense he certainly committed was Obstruction of Justice. Have you ever listened to the tapes? Nixon is clearly discussing do anything and everything possible to halt the investigation. Now politically pure partisanship may have prevented a conviction but I have no doubt that without the pardon, Nixon would certainly have been charged with multiple counts of conspiracy to obstruct justice.

 

[shuttlt]

He is a habitual liar. He is untrustworthy. You are apparently comfortable with a President who lies so often about so much that one cannot believe him if he said the sky was blue.

Why are you comfortable with that situation?

Most of his nonsense is unimportant. I think people acting as if his every utterance was cause for great alarm is helpful to him. What he actually does is more interesting to me.

He is a troll. Democrats are feeding him.

He is a funny man.

Oh this is the some double strength absolute distilled ******** that the conservatives and Republicans have been pushing despite their supposed veneration of personal responsibility.

Trump is not the fault of liberals, nor of Democrats.

Republicans and conservatives support him.

They nominated him.

They elected him.

They enable him.

They excuse him.

They still, after all his misdeeds and idiotic behavior, support him with an 80% approval rating.

This is not on the Democrats nor the liberals.

I have heard the tapes and I believe there is a real possibility it wasn't obstruction.

-the CIA is allowed to ask the FBI to stop investigating for international interest and not be obstruction.
-there was an international interest (not embarrassing Mexico and hurting relation by condtantly linking their banks to a big crime in DC)

I have not heard any test that actually examines the balance between the competing interest of international relations and obstruction.

I do hope we can get on with prosecuting Hillary now. McCain. It's pretty obvious to me one of the reasons McCain is screeching so loud about Trump is that he's got so much to lose.

I'd like to see Benghazi prosecutions. Not for failing to defend our little arms-shipment node, but for having one in the first place. We were plundering Libya's weapons and shipping them to what became ISIS.

Even if you buy into "liberating" Libya, that isn't a reason to steal their weapons and ship them off to another country. If you're getting millions from Saudi Arabia and other Wahhabi nut-job gulf states then it's a great idea of course. So then you meet with your head-choppers in Syria as both McCain and Clinton did, and think about all your millions of dollars - the world-class whores and whiskey, the island retreats with your security detail always shielding you from the plebs...

So you serve the bronze-age camel-herder head-chopper state 'cause after all look how the plebs in your own country treat you! They don't even think of you as royalty.

We have to start somewhere. And there's big enough criminality in those two, they represent the worst of what we've become. Eventually we might get to a point of even impeaching a president that lobs off dozens of cruise missiles at a country we are not in a declared war with because the last president did, and the president before him, back to the point we became unmoored from the rule of law.

 

[varwoche]

Actually, yes, they have. Knowing that The Big Dog Needs Facts (an understatement if ever there was one) perhaps you could show us the quotes from Democrats who are gnashing their teeth, clutching their pearls or generally getting all weepy because Comey was such an upstanding guy.

Keep up the farce, kids. Make it about the Democrats and maybe the public won't notice that the POTUS has flopped his dick into the mashed potatoes yet again.

The odds of this evidence being produced are slim indeed. But as for third canine references, all bets are off.

You don't think a lying troll being the president of the United States is a problem?

This is such ridiculous nonsense. Nobody is going to be prosecuted for Libya. Certainly not John McCain. After all he was only a Senator. I guarantee he is not worried about it.

Depends on what you mean by problem, but based on what I think, the answer is no.

They won't notice as he will have already licked it off!!!

You don't think it is a problem that nobody with a properly functioning brain will believe what the president of the United States says? That he is making a joke out of our country?

Nope. I do think it is bad though.

I didn't claim Democrats were wholly and solely responsible for him. You can't surely be claiming that if Republicans are morally responsible for him then nothing Democrats are doing can be counter productive. What is your actual argument?

 

[Roger Ramjets]

I have not heard any test that actually examines the balance between the competing interest of international relations and obstruction.

And even if there was such a test and he was charged and convicted of obstruction, there is still a real possibility it wasn't actually obstruction. A snowball's chance in Hell perhaps, but still a real chance...

Should Democrats just stick their heads in the sand and pretend that there is nothing wrong?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

It doesn't seem likely to me that stupidity in the US maps quite so well to population density and state. I'm not clear to what extent people "fell for him". That seems like a complicated and interesting question. My instinct is that most voters are relatively partisan, ill informed and easy to fool.

Think of the millions that believe in the Inside Job, the vaccine-autism link, homeopathy, believe in various supplement magic, BigFoot, UFOs, you name it. They are not all 'stupid' per se. But they are lacking some critical thinking skills for the most of them.

That surely was a pot meet kettle moment.
