BREAKING: Trump Fires Comey

[Thomas Jackson]

Wait, just early today, liberal hacks were screaming that Comey lied to Congress under oath about the e-mails.

While I understand that these hacks are deeply saddened that their Hillary! goddess lost, I thought they hated Comey and wanted him fired.

Trump does what they want, and now they are mad?

Sense this does not make.

[Thomas Jackson]

WHY WOULD YOU FIRE A MAN WHO NOW HAS FREE REIGN TO LEAK AND SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS?

This board is so ate up with derangement syndrome that it cannot think.

If hillary had fired comey, you folks would be creaming in your underpants.

This board is FAR, FAR left of the mainstream. Further left than DU in many respects.

Answer the question on Russia.

No.

[Thomas Jackson]

Hillary Clinton or Tim Kaine would have fired Comey as well, especially after what he did on Oct. 28 and Nov. 6. So I don't see what the big deal is. Clinton-Kaine would have chosen a left wing lawyer just like how Trump would pick a right wing lawyer. It is what it is.

Except neither Hillary Clinton nor Tim Kaine would have been under investigation by the F.B.I.  Duhhhhhhhhh

Neither is Trump.

[Thomas Jackson]

Get the  off Atlas, silent cal. Just get the  off.

Why should he? Because you don't like what he's saying? Or what he might say? You're starting to sound like someone familiar...

Perhaps you didn't venture over to the Atlas section of the board? Where liberal after liberal petition for conservatives to be banned?

Keep defending this sh**tshow, Trump hacks.

You are so very deeply saddened. It's amusing. Your liberal tears taste so sweet to me.

Tears, no I am amused.

This is going to end badly for you guys.

Keep telling yourself that. I'm sure it will help you sleep better tonight.

No he isn't. An article from March? From the frickin ATLANTIC?

You really are desperate.

You really are desperate.

You expect the FBI to complete an investigation in one month?

Once again... read slowly. You are posting an old article, from THE ATLANTIC, with a headline that doesn't match the text of the article.

I'm sure that you don't actually understand the distinction. I'll give you a cookie if you can figure out where you stepped off the tracks of reality.

No Trump supporter can answer the question: how do we have faith in Donald Trump's ability to appoint a FBI director when there are active FBI investigations into Trump's campaign with Russia? How do we have any faith that this wasn't motivated, in part, by the Russian investigation Comey led?

I keep asking that question because I believe that the Trump supporters can't answer it.

By the way I thought Comey did fine and I thought Clinton was pretty unethical so dont throw that bull at me.

There aren't "active FBI investigations" into "Trump's campaign with Russia." Comey himself said time and time again that there was no evidence of collusion with Russia by anyone in the Trump campaign.

I'll give YOU the cookie if you can figure out the basic mistake that you are making with your assertion, just as I promised your fellow forum denizen.

Here's the link.  I was rather specific with my statement.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/fbi-investigation-trump-russia-comey.amp.html

Money quote:

Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. was “investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

No cookie for you. You really can't see past your hate, even when the answer is sitting right there in your "money quote."

I feel rather sorry for you.

Well let's explore the example more. Let's say the suspicions were that I ran a huge child prostitution ring in fact. Let's say the investigation began about a year ago, less than that, and started because of happenstance and that a serious investigation only started happening a couple of months ago. Let's say that several of my associates have raised questions about me.

Shouldn't a massive investigation require time - including more than just several months? And shouldn't it be fully funded and fully staffed to either  clear my name or prosecute me?

If a fully funded investigation has been going on for months and has still found absolutely no evidence to back up these claims then maybe questions should be asked about whether such an investigation is justified.

As for 'clearing names' its not the job of an FBI or police investigation to 'clear' anybody's name. If they don't find evidence that can be given to a prosecutor and they stop investigating the that's it. 'Clearing' people is something done by courts, not by police or FBI.

As for your suggestion that this whole thing started by 'happenstance' that's highly doubtful. Much more likely that this has been a witch hunt from the very start.

You're are an amazing voice of reason. It's refreshing.

This site used to actually be a reasonable place for people to discuss politics and election strategies without the annoying 'bumper sticker' politics.

Now it's just bumper sticker politics.

Is that really true? This forum has ALWAYS been on the far-left side of the political spectrum.

Even the so-called "moderates" are rather center-left. The main website has always been a great repository of elections data. The maps and statistics are virtually unmatched by any resource anywhere. Yet for some reason, the forum attracts far more socialists and communists than right-wing conservatives.

The few conservatives here are constantly hounded, and consistently the subject of petitions to be banned. Anyone that doesn't toe the far-left line is ridiculed.

If you look at the self-reported political positions of the forum, and the predictions of said forum, you'd find something squarely in the mainstream.... of DailyKos or Democratic Underground.

Also I love it too how Chris Hayes, MSNBC anchor and not a Republican, tweeted that no one would care if Clinton did the same thing if her campaign were being investigated

Do you really think the Russian issue isn't a big deal given your concern over LePen?

I never said Russia isn't a big issue. I am 100% convinced Putin is trying to undermine the West in any election he can. What bothers me is those who CONSISTENTLY call out Russia as being tied to Trump at every moment.

You are getting very close to winning the cookie.
