Very appropriate, but frankly I don’t think Comey should be on Twitter, at least not commenting on public affairs linked to his former job.

OT but Gallup had Trump at 33 percent even before today. Seems newsworthy to me.

Comey’s pretentious, preening self-importance on display here.

Trump and Comey: two sides of the same coin, when it comes right down to it. Both of them threats to American democracy.

Agreed. Unless this is designed to stoke a fire under Trump’s ass and provoke him to further incriminate himself, Comey is just providing the alt-right wood to burn.

Well, here’s one for you, Comey: “In the end, there was no rest for Ephialtes of Trachis.” Chew on that.

Ultimately, @old_curmudgeon , they all think they are Great Men of History, when they are, as the song says, dust in the wind.

I find it deeply comforting that Comey is such a fan of Reinhold Niebuhr. It says so much to me about his character.

I am totally agnostic and I’m a fan of Niebuhr, myself.

Isn’t 33 percent the point where the Republicans are supposed to jump on the impeachment train? Dang, they were so close to getting that tax cut done for their monied backers. What to do, what to do…

While I too believe that Comey’s announcement had something to do with Hillary’s loss, I recall that Mr. Comey was punked by the Russians, and he knew he was being punked, he just had no good alternatives.

Blame Comey if you like, but, as I said elsewhere today: The Russians were engaged in acts of war, and you’d expect that to make bad things happen.

"G-d, grant me the serenity not to hyperventilate from schadenfreude,
Courage to wait for Trump frogmarched from the White House with a bag over his head,
And wisdom to pace myself on the popcorn and Everclear."

If overindulging in Everclear is a sin… let me be guilty!

(You know, the Liver KNEW what it was signing up for.)

And here’s the thing—it’s not like he’s going to figure out how to be a good President. That’s just not a scenario we’re going to see happen. It’s just going to get worse and worse.

Right - and they don’t need the Toxic Pile for tax reform. Mypants would work just as well.

Erk. How I wish it wasn’t Mypants.

Under 30% in the average for more than a news cycle is my metric.

Trump had a bigly huge terrible day today, but the smart money is that the Gallup number will regress to the mean in the short term. We’re not going to see new record low numbers day after day. Don’t despair when it’s 34% or 35% tomorrow.
