America was a mistake.
I spoiler tagged my post man
Those pesky leaks
One step closer to an autocracy.
Because the president just fired the FBI director in charge of investigating the president.

The head of the FBI who is running the investigation into Trump and Russia was just fired by the person he is investigating.
He was the man at the head of the only credible investigation into Trump's ties with Russia.
This makes it look like he's desperate to stop the investigation from moving forward and has something to hide.
That would mean Hillary=Stannis which is... Actually a pretty close match.
Massive conflict of interest + overreach by Trump Administration to prevent the ongoing investigation from revealing something that may bring Trump down.
Yo if u aint caught up on got no one cares.

Fixed.
Others have not been so kind.
"everyone must watch all popular shows exactly when they air, just like me"
Some of us have jobs, families, and other responsibilities.

J. Edgar Hoover died during Nixon's presidency, so the situation is a little different.

The IC leaks are going to be insane now. Comey brought this on himself, but he had a lot of friends in places Trump doesn't even realize.

Comey was heading an investigation into possible Russian ties into the White House.

This is the correct answer. We can wish ill on both the fascist AND his boot-lickers.
Tumbrel rides for the whole lot.

Why the hell is everyone on Van's ass like this? He wasn't the only one that praised Trump that evening, all he said was "Trump became President of the United States in that moment, period.". That's it. He doesn't deserve all the backlash he's been getting just for that.

Nice.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.

It's not, per se. But it's extremely irregular and when you add it to the fact that he was investigating Trump and also that Trump has already lawyered up and started sending threatening letters to members of Congress, it is suspicious as fuck.
No one's going to shed a tear for James Comey. Fuck him. But the fact that Trump was willing to take such a reckless and surprising step does definitely point to some real shit about to go down.
If Comey "anticipated" it then why did he think it was a prank.
Claude/Louise/etc are full of shit, stop listening to them. I know it's feel-good stuff if you're invested in the idea that a Trump impeachment is right around the corner but just stop.
This seems big. Some strong, unsettling words inside.

These people on CNN fumbled there way into a pretty good argument for the firing. If you watched it happen live though you can tell they fell into that explanation.

listen to the mad man
(((((((Oh man. OH MAN. On FB just got to see someone claim that this is Trump draining the swamp and going after the deep state NWO. When confronted with his cabinet picks, they replied with "It's common sense, keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
I think I'm done for the night.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Do you feel like an idiot yet?
Im not really familiar with these people, are they not credible?
They've been talking about the Grand Jury stuff since last week.
And TBH I feel Comey should have known this could happen. He's the one investigating Trump.

Trump just fired the guy investigating him and this joker's first comment is about CNN, a meaningless news channel.
Democrats. Means very little unless Republicans start signing documents like that.

...."One of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics, period", he said during one of the more shameless things I've seen. Van Jones should know better.
These guys from Brookings have a great article about that. Trump should have fire him day one in office e. No one would have blinked. He thought he was a supporter though, and now... now he's just admitting guilt by firing him.

It'll be interesting to see if there's any follow up on this, tbh.
Gonna require Republican support, tho.

This whole thing is so interesting. At a minimum, the timing shows how incompetent this administration is at politics.

Comey deserved this for sure. The timing though is just terrible.
This is only going to intensify the investigation even more. Trump is a complete idiot.
I can't believe no one in his advisory team didn't know that this would cause a massive shit storm. The dirt on him must be so massive for them to decide that this shit storm is worth swimming through.

It's Diablos. Anything Trump does is a home run to him.
We all know what Trump likes to do to facts that don't work well with what he's saying.
