And now trump is threatening Comey:
This truly gets crazier and crazier, doesnāt it?
Just for context, here are the results of the most recent Quinnipiac poll. Question was āWhat is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Donald Trump?ā
The concept of Donnie āthinkingā blows my mind, dudeā¦
Now the concept of Donnie hitting a Nixonian level of paranoia? No problemā¦
Liar.
Even if he wasnāt personally under investigation before, he better be under investigation now.
Democrats need to start calling for his resignation and impeachment now. This is clearly obstruction of justice.
Aside from being absolutely horrified by this buffoon, the thought that HE thinks he can dismiss someone for conducting an investigation into something that HE, TRUMP thinks has no merit is mind boggling. With the myriad of data coming in about Flynn, Trump still defends him. He invites the Russians into his office, bans the US press, denigrates āregularā Americans and believes that he is the arbiter of truth and justiceā¦or at least the truth and justice YOU, one of the little people, should buy. Amazing.
Itās almost like the Ghost of Richard Nixon (new garage band name) is haunting trump to take revenge out on the R party that turned on him back in the day.
Late edit: Where is the presidential portrait of Nixon today? Canāt seem to find out where. Love that it would still be in the WH somewhere. Heh heh. Is it at the Nixon Library? Anyone know?
But Nixon was shrewd.
(I like the band name.)
He āpushesā people to āleakā if only to save their reputations.
Almost textbook. āI donāt like this investigation into me and my cronies. Iāll fire the investigator.ā
Hair Furor simply believes that the rules donāt apply to him.
Sound familiar?
Not only that, he thinks he decides whether or not to expand the investigation. PP believes he controls the FBI, that theyāre not an independent agency. I find that stunning.
I bet I could make a fortune developing and selling an Anti-Stun tonic.
And thatās definitely a statement for the courts.
But he added, contradicting himself, that he had considered unilaterally attempting to ālengthenā the investigation, seemingly in order to contradict the negative optics of firing Comey.
āWhen I did this now I said, I probably, maybe will confuse people, maybe Iāll expand that, you know, Iāll lengthen the time, because it should be over with, in my opinion, it should have been over with a long time ago, because all it is, is, an excuse.ā
āBut I said to myself, I might even lengthen out the investigation, but I have to do the right thing for the American people,ā he continued, adding of Comey: āHeās the wrong man for that position.ā
Word salad or word colloidal suspension?
He thinks that everyone in the Federal government works for him. Loyal employees. Wants them to sign non-disclosure agreements. He tells them what to do, and if they donāt do it, he can fire them.
He really is that clueless.
Word Plasma
When he says āthe Russia thingā, I think of mobsters talking to each other about their thing, literally la cosa nostra
In our thing, you get sent for, you go in alive, you come out dead
And that neatly sums up why a lifelong businessperson-only is a terrible choice to be president. Theyāre used to having total control, and the government just aināt that way. Or shouldnāt be that way.
