Florida Gov Demands FBI Director Wray Resign Over Inaction On Shooter Tip Back to article

[southerndem]

Look over there, Don’t look at me…

[litho]

My state’s gun laws are among the most lax in the nation, and many of them were weakened at my initiative while I’ve been governor. So let me blame someone else for the horrific crime that happened on my watch, a crime that my personal actions not only made possible but even likely.

[old_curmudgeon]

Gee, could there be something else at work here? Like Florida’s let’s-make-everyone-carry-a-gun culture? Or Trump’s desire to get rid of Wray?

(More seriously, what is needed is a bigger budget for the FBI. Get the money from some DoD public relations boondoggle.)

[old_curmudgeon]

Thank you, governor, for speaking so candidly.

[hankscorpio]

So, since Trump reversed a rule banning gun purchases by the mentally ill, one year ago this month, maybe he should resign as well?!?!.

[erik_t]

Why not, after such a terrible event at a public school, as the ultimate head of state interests, the governor of the state of Florida?

Crawl back in your hole, you fucking snake.

Nice try, Cueball, but they’re not at the Minority Report level where they can clairvoyantly predict which volatile misfit of the millions who have access to military weapons is going to snap next. You’ll certainly get your brownie points for trying to protect a gang of traitors—that’s what your party does—but nobody’s going anywhere so STFU thanks.

[marby]

As the Church Lady on SNL used to say, “Isn’t that special?” Scott thinks he can please Trump by dissing the FBI and draw attention away from Florida’s lax gun laws. Pretty convenient for Scott, no?

[rickjones]

Someone got a reminder from the WH today.

Thank you, Gov Scott. We may finally get to the bottom of why the FBI Director doesn’t do every one of his 13,000 agents’ jobs for them, especially since he should have had plenty of time when he wasn’t defending his agency from congressional trolls.

[jhand]

Nobody, NOBODY!, does political sleaze better than Rick Scott. Compared to him, Willie Stark is a neophyte.

[mattinpa]

OT but JFC he’s insane:

Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..

[imkmu3]

And that’s what he meant by “Everything is on the table.”

Next question?

[stoy]

You first, Rick.

[wlarip]

Peanut Butter, gravity and our illustrious governor: true to form.

[carolson]

Why don’t you ban violent movies and video games? Isn’t that the talking point du jour, Rick?

[bikerdad]

Why stop with Wray? Fire his boss and especially that guy’s boss! Oh right that’s Trump.

But hey - nice try, Gov. Medifraud, this should put you in solid with your boss.

[trnc]

I’m not sure the blatant insanity of the president is ever off topic.

Governor Skeletor: “As Danny Dorko repeatedly warned us, ‘I’m wary that something’s awry with Wray.’ Were it not for the fact that the burdens of the position would deprive us all of his very clever comments on TPM, I would heartily call for Danny Dorko to be our next FBI director.”
