I know, I know, lolololol. Hilarious stuff.

In a sane world, adults would recognize the president attempting to intimidate the recently fired FBI director as a problem. This is not something that happens in advanced democracies. It's banana republic stuff.

But lololol Liburals are angry!! Cool.

I've identified the problem.

There is no doubt at all that Nixon would have been quickly impeached and removed if he hadn't resigned. There was considerable talk at the time that he resigned to protect his government pension, which he would have lost if he had been convicted of misconduct. Pres. Ford saved him from almost certain criminal charges.

Lol

And naturally you forgot all the Dems asking him to resign or be fired? Were they attempting to intimidate him?

When a government employee is a **** up and his job is at the discretion of the president, saying it's banana republic stuff is just a bit dramatic, even for you.

The timing is purely coincidental, of course.

Not talking about that.

The reason why they're fired is still relevant. The worst employee in the world, for example, can't be fired BECAUSE they're black.

Firing an FBI director because he wouldn't take a loyalty oath is ********** up. Trying to intimidate that fired director from telling anyone that is also ********** up.

But yes, it's the sort of corruption that frustrates liberals, so lolololol.

If this happened today he would not have resigned, it was a total joke. Nixon and the Senators should have told the Dems to go **** themselves!

The entire Watergate criminal operation was just to get under leftist's skin!

Take a loyalty oath? Lol

He was fired for breaking long standing protcol, you know, that protocol that your side cried like babies about? That protocol that lost Hills the election?
 
Ah, borrowing heavily from the Ann Coulter school of "GIVE ME ATTENTION FOR SAYING OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT THINGS!! But ain't I a stinker for even trying, *wink*

Trump has been kicking butt since he got in. Can we please leave him alone so he can get some more work done? Just because you personally hate him doesn't beat the fact that he's accomplished more in just a 100 days than anyone else in office.

Wow. Nice troll... or do you actually not understand the important differences?

Yeah! The Republicans have learned since then that integrity is for losers!

What are you talking about? If someone can be fired for any or no reason, they definitely can be fired for being black. Now if the person firing them is dumb enough to reveal that, there could be consequences depending on the situation, but that's only if they revealed that.

Trump says otherwise.

I think it's funny that in order to carry on the silly game of yours you have to pretend to gobble up the most outlandish ********. You do it because you think it annoys us, which is a really odd approach - "I know what will teach these people, I will adopt the persona of a shockingly credulous mark. Mwahaha!"
 
I wish Comey had come out with the quote, "The president better hope there's not a tape."

Pretty easy these days to record things - no humongous reel-to-reel analog audiotape equipment required.

No, that's workplace discrimination and illegal. Wrongful termination.

Any and no reason aren't the same. In right to work states, you can fire someone for no reason, but you can't fire them for any reason - gender and race being the most universal.

Tough cases to prove, often, but I did state the law correctly in every jurisdiction I'm aware of.

Firing Comey is a coverup but hiding your server in a bathroom and deleting thirty thousand emails isn't. Thanks leftists!

Yeah, nothing matters more than where a box full of computer chips sits. Why, if the FBI guy hadn't needed to take a dump, they would have never known about the server.

Sounds a bit like we're pointedly highlighting different things, but are largely in agreement. Your highlight being whether something's legal here in the US and mine being whether it actually can be done (and gotten away with).

Oh, sure, I'm just using it as an example: There is nothing inconsistent about (1) Thinking someone is ****** at their job and (2) finding their firing to be inappropriate or even criminal.

Firing an incompetent worker BECAUSE of their race or gender is a good example. Firing a rat-*********** FBI director to shut down an investigation would be another.

Except that Trump hasn't (that I know of) come out saying Comey's firing had nothing to do with Hillary. He just said he'd made his mind up before he got the Justice memo. Does that mean it's technically correct that Trump followed the recommendation of that memo?

Comey didn't give Trump any cover on surveillance and also demonstrated (IMO) his distaste with election results. IMO (and I'm in the minority here) he didn't do anything glaringly wrong except hold a press conference. I know he was totally wrong about how many emails ended up on Weiner's laptop but of course there should have been none. The man was fired because he has a modicum of integrity. I'm not saying he always did the right thing, but I think he tried to do the right thing. He wasn't in anyone's pocket, as far as I can tell.
