Is there video? I’m wagering Trump said “irregardless”–at least twice.

Sure.

And also, he was totally already planning on getting the larger popcorn for a dollar more, regardless of any movie theater employee’s suggestion. (There’s no good time to do that, btw.)

And America plans to fire you, Hair Furor, regardless.

There must not have been any chocolate cake at the dinner between him and Comey.

Really, the lack of sophistication and coordination with all these daily lies is the most exasperating part.

Oh yeah…it’s a Lester Holt interview scheduled to air this evening, I believe. Its mind-blowing. So many lies by that mandarin laced fruitcake stuffed into that big fat mouth of his. What an absolute Bullshitter. You gotta see it to believe it…and then, if you’re smart, not believe a single word he says. He just dug a deeper hole for himself I believe.

So disrupting the FBI just for the hell of it?

Seriously, his parents must have been idiots if he never had to learn to team-lie better than this.

I will bet that you are right.

And that he could not articulate a reason for the termination.

Yesterday: Deputy AG Rosenstein reportedly threatened to resign after he found out the White House was making him the instigator of James Comey’s firing.

Today: Trump Says He Planned To Fire Comey Regardless Of DOJ Recommendation

(Oh, the schadenfreude I’m experiencing seeing these two stories in proximity to one other on the TPM homepage!)

I thought to myself all along why doesn’t PP just fire Comey? He’s been annoyed with him since Comey announced the FBI was investigating him even though he praised him during his campaign him for going after Clinton. March 27 was a turning point: Comey confirms Russia investigation before Congress

“Regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey.”

So YOU are the one who made the incompetent decision to can him while he was investigating you?

So it was really the fact that Comey was taking his limelight that really pissed him off. Trump must be the “one” in his own mind.

He explicitly said that Comey told him at dinner, and twice over the phone as well as hearing it through an intelligence committee that he wasn’t the subject of this investigation regarding Russia. Point blank. Isn’t that ex parte’ communication? You could see Rump respond with bullshit when he said, “If its OK to tell me, am I under investigation?” If its OK? Whaaaa??? Isn’t that what he has a lawyer for to advise him? This man is a lying sack of shit.

According to Trump, Comey is a “showboat” and a “grandstander?” Man, that is rich! It also is an indicator of Trump’s sick mind. What a jackass!

Yeah, I planned to fire Comey all along. That’s the ticket.

Fiendishly clever how Stalin had Trotsky offed in Mexico just as Leon and Frida were enjoying each other…

@ralph_vonholst It’s being suggested by TV talkers anyways that this affaire has the makings of Dem campaign slogans. Want to get rid of trump? Put Democrats in both Houses. Words to that effect anyway.

@chelsea530 He also needs one of the long hara kiri knives.
