I'm not sure about stories like these. In my mind Trump is fucking scared of being president and doesn't do anything without being told so. He is not an intelligent man and even though it should be obvious to fire the man that yould harm you I doubt he would've done something without some adviser telling him to fire Comey.

Sure he can talk big but the bigger he talks the smaller is his ego when he's not in front of a camera.

Its actually a good move, the FBI and CIA are undermining the democracy here not Trump. They leaked everything to the media since he took office, its his way of fighting back. The CIA should be targeted next.

If he wanted to restore trust in the public, he wouldn't be another billionaire elite who only cares about power and money. What's worse is how the US somehow gave him the strongest position in the world.

Only 27% of the population voted for him so actually, you can't really blame the citizens. What you CAN blame, is the system which allowed someone who only got such a tiny amount of support to win.

The only one being targeted now is Trump. The FBI has 30 sources saying that not only are they not backing down, they're more focused then ever. Trump is a marked man my friend and it's only going to get worse from here on out.

The problem is that Trump praised Comy for the same action he is now firing him for.  In other words as usual, Trump word means nothing.  It changes as fast and fluid as the sea and always to his benifit.  Even if Comy firing is legit, talk about just bone headed timing just like firing Flynn or the list of other firings he has done.  

I'm not defending it, I'm just saying let's not create some double standard here. Hillary woud have fired him for the same hypocritical reasoning (they loved him when he recommended that Hillary should not be prosecuted, but then they turned on him when he directed more attention to the emais and wanted to reopen the investigation). Comy made enemies on both sides, he was losing his job no matter what (and both sides are hypocrites; praising and roasting the man depending on who's side he is helping or harming that particular week).

With the massive difference being that Obama didn't fire him while he was investigating Hillary's mails, which would roughly be the equivalent to what is happening here. There's nothing hypocritical about it.

"By last weekend, he had made up his mind: Comey had to go. At his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., Trump groused over Comey’s latest congressional testimony [...]"

lol Trump golfing again.

The entire Western Intelligence Community warned US about Trump and his connections to Russia and China. CIA and FBI had been very luke warm to those warnings.

We're talking about a man that was fined $10 million by FinCen for not disclosing documents and not complying with money laundering rules in his Taj Mahal casino in NJ.

There's no proof because he just fired the guy leading the investigation in whether he collaborated with the Russians. How can it be that hard to see? Now I'm not saying there could have been, or will be, any proof, or that he did collaborate with Russia, but if he did, this sure is a good move to hide it. He's brought this on himself, collaboration with Russia or not.

His days were numbered either way, especially with how he handled the email thing. And investigations have already been put into Russian collaboration since the election - nothing has shown a direct connection with Trump so far. Its been 7 months, yet nothing has come up. Its a story that the leftist media has been dragging on because they want to find something to destroy his presidency, but the simple fact is that the Russian's did not "rig" the election...

Is everyone's memory really that short?

Trump praised the way he handled the email situation, numerous times. 



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I think this might have something to do with the Russian leaks of Trump.

Trump must have been really pissed off.

The FBI has a lot of dirt on him. He wastes money on golden caviar, golden sinks, and golden showers.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The T' did it again, posting the video compilation of Democrats hating on Comey and demanding his resignation...




Remember what O' once said while he was President?
