Trump fires Comey, who is investigating the GOP. The assistant director takes over the investigation. Now Trump gets to appoint a new director. We have become a South American puppet dictatorship.
“To protect and defend the constitution”. Evidently, Republican Senators had amnesia while taking the oath of office. Quite a few of them received law degrees from Ivy League universities; Perhaps they should have become ambulance chasers. The country would be better off.
You are quite the hypocrite. Hillary can raise money for the “Resist” campaign if she pleases. If you disagree we the current chaos in Washington, that doesn’t make you an anti-American liberal. That makes you a smart American who is fearful of losing our democracy.
By firing Comey, Trump just showed how afraid he and his administration is of over the Russia investigation.
UCLA students were expected to sit quietly and attentively while listening to Ann Coulter spew her hatred and intolerance? I suppose if someone were invited to the university to speak about the wonders of alchemy, or phrenology, or explain why the earth is actually flat, then to complain about it would be to suppress free speech or reject “different viewpoints.”
Please explain how Republican Senators can make an intelligent decision to vote for a new health plan without reading it? Oh yeah, I must have forgotten there are no intelligent Republican Senators.
Comey flew too close to the Orange flame.
Dear P-T, I know you had great art and a pretty sweet pun for a headline, but next time the president fires the FBI chief who’s investigating Russian interference in the aforementioned president’s election, maybe that should go on page one and the story about people playing in the dirt can go on page fourteen. Swing and a miss, guys.
It’s quite telling when the White House says they don’t think a special prosecutor is necessary to investigate Russia connections and intrusions. Of course they don’t.
It took 18 days and a leak before the president fired Michael Flynn. But Comey was out in a flash as soon as Trump concocted a reason.
So we are supposed to believe that Donald Trump fired James Comey because he was unfair to Hillary? Right.
Every liberal should be required to perform a real job sometime in their life, and every conservative should be required to live on welfare or be a union member sometime in their life. They will then see how the other side sees these issues.
If Trump had nothing to hide in this Russia affair, he would welcome a thorough investigation and do everything in his power to assist it. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. If he has something to hide, he will do everything in his power to thwart it — which he clearly seems to be doing.
Note to Trump fans. Firing Comey is not going to end the “Russian connection” investigation.
Kellyanne Conway is already on CNN giving alternative excuses for why James Comey was fired. If there was a legitimate reason, they wouldn’t have to make up excuses.
