BREAKING: Trump Fires Comey

[Deblano]

Honestly, the GOP needs to dissolve after Trump and replace itself with a new, renamed party.

What an embarrasment

This sort of nonsense should kill a political party......but it won't.

At least in South Korea the Saenuri Party had the decency to change its name to the Liberty Korea Party after Park Guen-hye resigned.

[Hindsight was 2020]

How will this impact Trump's approvals?

May look bad enough fall to 35% or cons really dig in an he goes up to 43%

Wouldn't surprise me if on net it was 0 change. Suburban repubs hate the decision, but the alt right that was disillusioned over the month or so comes back in the tent.

it will also depend on who he nominates.

Just a few facts for the blue avatars:

The Dems aren't "out of touch" and on a "witch hunt": public opinion shows that a huge majority of Americans want a special prosecutor--just go find the CNN/ORC polls or PPP polls from March.

Nobody is a hypocrite because nobody is defending Comey or his prior actions, but rather saying that this looks like a move to cover up the Russia investigation, which Sarah Huckabee Sanders' comments just a little bit ago basically confirm. So, you're making a false equivalence here. We don't want Comey, we want an investigation unimpeded by the President.

There is absolutely evidence that could indict Trump himself possible, and almost certainly his campaign. It's a fact that Manafort, Page, Flynn, and other were in contact with Putin's people. It's a fact that the leaks targeted against HRC were launched by hackers with ties to the Kremlin. I'm not saying it's a smoking gun, but it certainly is something that merits a serious investigation. Now, I know that some of you dgaf because you think women are made of ribs and climate change is a Chinese hoax. But most Americans haven't descended down that hole yet. See my first point.

Which brings me to that final point about that hole: I know that you know your logic is shoddy, but for the past few decades you've built an alternative media apparatus to reify your unfounded beliefs, brainwash others, and keep an unsustainable status quo in place that is based on buzzwords like freedom and justice, but really has no values--as your flippant disregard for the sanctity of this investigation demonstrates. That's the textbook definition of fascist ideology--not an insult, just a fact--so just know that nobody arguing in favor of continuing the investigation is outside of the mainstream; you are.

*slow clap*

Here is the issue: how many times must you guys be told that at this time, *there is no evidence of collusion between the campaign and russia*. Feinstein, schiff, et al have said it repeatedly over the last few months, but based on what you hear from people on here, you'd think it was a sure thing.

Is it ethical to milk an investigation dry for political points before anything has even been found, let alone confirmed?

That's my issue with you guys,you somehow forget that the investigation has found nothing substantial between trump and russia.

In fact, you guys would prefer if the investigation *never ended* than if the investigation found nothing and was concluded. You guys WANT another watergate scandal, you WANT a dark cloud, because it could help you politically.

It's pathetic, really.

Nobody ever said anything that you're citing about except perhaps on Fox (Fascist Old Xenophobes) News.

Feinstein said, "Not at this time." not that there was no evidence period. She went on to say that the investigation should continue. And the reason that there is no evidence is because the investigation is ongoing as of right now. The point you're making is like saying that because I am not actively manifesting disease X that there is no way that I have its virus or bacterial progenitor in my body, when I very well could and won't know until I get the results of the blood test that is in testing back from my doctor! It's so stupid that I can't possibly believe that you are making a serious argument here.

But you contradict yourself in the next sentence: "Is it ethical to milk an investigation dry for political points before anything has even been found, let alone confirmed?"

The investigation is not even close to being done, so no s*** that there is no evidence yet! And you keep deflecting because the truth is that if there is any evidence you, just like your President, don't want the public to know about it.

US Attorneys serve at the will of the President (or, I think, technically, the Attorney General), and can be fired for any reason or none at all.  46 other political appointees were fired the same day.

How many of the 46 other political appointees were personally asked by Trump to stay on in the new administration, cinyc?

How many of the 46 were grandstanding, camera-mugging glory hogs, like Bharara?

You're allowing your own personal feelings cloud your judgement but ok wek

Collins is deplorable af. Hope she runs for Governor so I can vote against her again.

I hope she does so she wins and kicks out any belief Dems can retake the governorship

You've got to be frickin kidding me. You liberals with your stupid EVERYONE IS A RACIST IF THEY WANNA FOLLOW IMMIGRATION LAWS.

I'm sick and tired of liberals calling EVERYTHING Republicans do as "racist" and "xenophobic" (which doesn't make sense because NO ONE is AFRAID of IMMIGRANTS)

Grow the hell up

Honest question, why is the President so quite, even on twitter?

Some men just like to watch the world burn.

Wow, you're fully triggered huh? Not a liberal, was a Republican for 16 years, Republicans aren't Republicans anymore. Everything is in that party is built on hating minorities and forcing beliefs on people. Trust me, a lot of Republicans are terrified of immigrants coming in and taking their jobs and raping their wives and killing their kids and turning the US into a caliphate. My uncle is one of the cultists.

Trump should have been impeached by now for incompetence. He's slowly but surely hanging himself.

Says what?  All I saw was a long screed with few questions.

The Russian investigation is a partisan witch hunt.  It's not even a criminal investigation, yet Democrats, the liberal media, and you are grandstanding about it as if it were.  I suppose if the Senate wants to waste its time investigating, it should.  That's up to Congress.  I wouldn't waste Congress' time.

But the thought that the FBI's intelligence investigation is suddenly going to stop because the top monkey is gone is disrespectful to everyone else at the FBI.  James Comey isn't the whole FBI.  If this is a valid investigation, it's not going to stop because he's gone.

I'm not afraid of immigrants. My father is one.  I have never EVER once in my life met someone afraid of immigration and immigrants as a whole. You say you left the party, huh? I feel that the Party of Lincoln, the one built to STOP slavery, is much better than the Party of Slavery and Jim Crow, the one with a slave mentality towards immigrants, the one that promotes white guilt for s*** these people haven't even done.  There is NO hate in the GOP for any minorities, and if ANYONE WHATSOEVER DOES, then they should be kicked out of the f***ing party and sent back to the damn Democrats

I don't see how hard it is to understand that the parties switched, all those old racist Democrats became even older racist Republicans in the late 80s and early 90s. Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, many others. My uncle is one of those people terrified of "the evil muslims who are coming here to rape and murder us", I know many people like him.

You're right, all those people need to go, we'd lose about 75% of the elected Republicans, but it will be a good purge, might possibly bring me back!
