Ol' Turtle Face really used this moment as an opportunity to lecture the democrats over obamacare?

What a farce.

Now all we need is a war or terrorist attack to completely shut down any investigation.

Less than four months in and out government is a fucking mess. Not that it was a finely tuned machine prior to him, but perception was its full of assholes.

Now it feels like it's ready to collapse

Sorry, I misunderstood headache's post.

Trump is acting like a guilty man. His Tweets again this morning are mental. He just looks like he's trying to avoid going to jail. McCain now also saying there's more to come....

WASHINGTON — Days before he was fired, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, asked the Justice Department for a significant increase in money and personnel for the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential election, according to three officials with knowledge of his request.

Mr. Comey asked for the resources during a meeting last week with Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who wrote the Justice Department’s memo that was used to justify the firing of the F.B.I. director this week.

Mr. Comey then briefed members of Congress on the meeting in recent days.

Look, we all know why Comey was fired: he found the pee tape

bill to overturn methane emission regulations fails - mccain, graham and collins flip sides at last minute.

i wonder what happened?

Those guys are so passive aggressive. This is their way to sticking it to Trump. I guess these days the rest of us have to take what we can get.

I mean, just fuck everything, really.

What are the odds Giuliani replaces Comey?

I saw Worst Sheriff Ever, Milwaukee's David Clarke (i.e., the asshole black guy in the cowboy hat who has had tons of people die in his jails while he's been in charge), is supposedly on the short list as a replacement.

I don't even know where to start if that's true.

BEAL · 05-10-2017, 02:08 PM

There is nothing we can do.

corianderstem · 05-10-2017, 02:08 PM

I'd only seen Comey sitting on TV until last night. Dude is so tall, no wonder Trump fired him. Can't stand anyone being bigger than him.

The whole fucking country is going to hell in a hand basket. This Comey thing is a constitutional crisis, and the Republicans are just going to look the other way.

America is a corporatocracy, not a democracy, and I'm not sure there's any going back.
