Holy shit! Comey had 5 years left in his tenure and was investigating Trump for colluding with the Russians. Trump has the power to fire him but must have a legitimate reason. No reason has been given at this time. WTF!!!!!!?
Yeah, why fire him if he has nothing to hide? That's Trump for you...kiss my ass or shut up or I will shut you up.....I was hoping Anonymous would have uncovered the truth by now.
According to this article, the reason given is his handling of Hillary's email investigation https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/05/09/us/politics/james-comey-fired-fbi.html Yes I'm sure with all the scandal plaguing the Trump administration, Hillary's emails are his utmost concern
Trump and Jeff Jeff Sessions say they fired him because he was mean to Hillary. Ha!!!! We believe that one!!! Meanwhile they are under investigation by the FBI and Comey for collusion with the Russians. Not to mention Congress. So it's pretty plain what's going on, Trump will install a stooge as FBI director to shut down the investigation. This has not happened since Nixon fired Archibald Cox. Trump's getting scared. This is what happens in third world countries.
Let's face it, the Playboy's got all the powers in the world! He can do exactly what he wants! And will..
Make's one wonder when "the tell all" book will come out - unless the 30 year rules still applies (?)
Trump is simply relying upon the fact that congress is about as unified as the Three Stooges and can't even decide how to get rid of Obamacare, while the courts keep insisting anything goes if you have enough money. If you can't dazzle em with brilliance, baffle em with bullshit and by firing everyone in D.C. he keeps them all on their toes and provides entertainment for the mindless masses. He can do whatever the hell he wants and the only ones who can stop him are the mindless masses who are all staring into the headlights frozen to the spot like deer with no clue what the hell any of it means. Now you know how Saddam Hussein simply walked into the Iranian parlament and assassinated the whole bunch to gain power and how Hitler took over with almost no opposition. The money and the guns are doing all the talking worth listening to.
Firing Comey makes it look like Trump is trying to cover something up. He may truly have nothing to hide because this is the sort of thing that triggers all kinds of internal investigations. The only thing that the news really said, from the tiny glimpse I get at the gym, was that Trump said, "He wasn't doing a good job." Shouldn't he be doing a better job of explaining why he's firing the head of the FBI during a huge investigation?!
He's been saying all along that the government is rotten to the core and needs to be turned into compost. All he has to do is say he's draining the swamp and has to make sure he isn't being thwarted and that anything anybody else has to say on the issue is just fake news. Congress made their own bed rather carefully. The extreme right wing has managed to take away our constitutional rights and give our courts to the highest bidder simply by dividing and conquering and Trump's election is merely an indication of just how far they have gone in destroying the country for a profit and building their own empire because their demographics all show they can't survive any other way. Its the capitalist approach of making business synonymous with war, and all things fair in love, war, and politics, while denying their is any actual war going on. Professional Wrestling slapstick and smack talk designed, of course, to confuse and entertain the mindless masses.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Master Yoda The American approach is to first destroy everything and then build it back up again in your own image and sell, sell, sell all that bullshit. The US is famous for Hollywood, marketing, and selling a line of crap a mile long rather than producing quality products at low prices. However, our largest manufactured export is weapons to back up all the bullshit.
"I'm still running against the wind...." Where there is no redemption, it is time for one to cut their losses, I think...and go it alone... I do not know what else to say.
Politics are always personal but, in the case of Americans, you often wish they would keep their personal lives to themselves.
