This just shows us again how totally out of touch Little Donnie Trump and his minions are. A 10 year old would not have fallen for the pathetic line offered by the Administration as an excuse for the firings.
It is way past time to appoint a Special Prosecutor to pull all the investigations together and bring this sad episode to an end.
time for a general strike from those who care about the future of the disUnited States
Red State Strike - remove the russians from the White House and restore democracy to the USA
letâs pick a date and run with it
Want to really be scared? This is the same team dealing with North Korea.
Trump is a traitor!!!
Itâs an open question whether their sheer stupidity and ignorance is going to save us or kill us.
And the South Koreans are already trying to cut the legs out from under that - talking with China about keeping things calm.
It doesnât hurt that SoS Tillerson apparently doesnât have a clue about negotiating strategies - leading with: âFirst you get rid of your nuclear weapons and program and THEN weâll negotiate with you about getting rid of your nuclear weapons and program.â
Thank you for raising my anxiety level
" but technical difficulties prompted him to instead stand in his office door and shout the statement to reporters who happened to be standing nearby."
Jeez, is there anything this administration can do that actually has some grace and style?
And they didnât anticipate a backlash? I am having a hard time getting my head around all of this.
Itâs like an internal competition. I like that he was âhiding in the bushesâ.
Now if only there were rumor that Trump got a little nookey with a woman who is not his wife. Finally then the GOP ranks will understand just how a threat this president is to the nation.
âIâve talked to a number of Republicans this morning who are just as upset about it as Democrats,â Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told TPM.
Not enough to actually do anything though. Fuckers.
I just re-read the article again. Was he wearing his bunny costume. Might as well at this point.
At the worst of Bush II, I used to ask for at least competent evil. I did not realize it was just a departure point.
Let me clarify things for the Trumpettes,âŚI think I can speak for many when I say that we are neither shocked nor sad about Comeyâs firing, bastard had it coming,
What we are shocked about is the crude and incredibly inept way Trump did it, it only reinforces the suspicions that Trump and/or his associated committed treason by colluding with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 election.
And what makes us angry is the near certainty that Trump and the GOP Senators are going to ram in as FBI director some hack like Christie or Giuliani, or an obscure white supremacist recommended by Sessions. And that will never hear about Flynn or the Russian investigation again.
The GOP, good at causing controversy, but always terrible at answering about it
What strikes me about this, other than the stunning incompetence, is just how woefully out of touch these people are with everything and everyone. This man just does things and expects people to be happy about it, to gleefully go along with it and praise him for it. He seems to have no basic understanding of human nature, of politics, running a large organization, etc. He knows how to bully, antagonize and harass, but literally cannot navigate situations in which heâs refused.
Wow, that blouse looks⌠sinister.
One real positive I take from this is that the FBI rank-and-file will not be okay with this and may leak like crazy. One thing that worried me was that I had read that a group of agents in NY hated Hillary and wanted to take her down. I thought that might translate to loyalty for Trump, since they seemed to be leaking to Trumpâs team (or maybe they leaked to NYPD who leaked to Trumpâs campaign; Giuliani seemed to have a lot of inside intel). But it seems they had great loyalty to Comey and Trump stabbing their boss in the back could really boomerang. Itâs going to take some major whistle blowers to save this country now. Hope someone has the guts. It sure seems like thereâs no political will among the Republicans to take one for the country and stop this dictator sooner than later.
