The pathetic thing is that he probably doesn’t know he’s ever more hideous when he tries to feign human emotion

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had few words Tuesday night on the bombshell news that President Donald Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey.”

It’s as if Trump said to himself…

“I wonder how I could turn enough furious Americans into the streets to make The Women’s March look like a Rotary Club picnic.”

I assume Comey’s replacement nominee cannot be filibustered if he/she proves to be of dubious credibility? (Which will probably be the case.)

No, let the next president appoint the new FBI director. The American people should have a say.

Not quite as unseemly as announcing no 2016 hearings on a Supreme Court nominee while Scalia’s dead body was still warm… but kinda approximately sorta maybe close-ish?

Even though the president appoints the FBI director, doesn’t he report to the attorney general? I remember that when Nixon set out to fire Archibald Cox, an employee of the Justice Department, he had to order Attorney General Elliot Richardson to do it. Richardson refused and then resigned. Nixon then turned to the deputy attorney general, William Ruckelshaus, and ordered him to fire Cox. Rucklshaus refused and either resigned or was fired. Nixon then turned to the solicitor general, the infamous Robert Bork, and told him to fire Cox. Bork complied. So shouldn’t Comey have been fired by Attorney General Sessions?

“Once the Senate receives a nomination, we look forward to a full, fair, and timely confirmation process to fill the Director position,” his statement read.

Translation: we will rubber-stamp anyone who fogs a mirror. This is very rapidly becoming farce.

Dream on. There are Americans to be screwed first.

I think that is what Schumer will be telling Democratic Senators at 9:30 am.
