James Comey either just announced his candidacy for president, or he's pulling an April Fool's joke

[DontBooVote]

Text of Tweet: "I’m in. We need someone in the middle. #2020" and includes a pic of Comey (from the back) looking down a two-lane highway with a farmstead on one side and corn on the right in into the distance...

1. I don't think so, James. nt

[watoos]

2. Whose middle?

We won in 2018 by being old fashioned Democrats. Moving right, I f**king guarantee will suppress our vote.

[Iliyah]

3. Oh my gawd . . .

Hard to tell tho - LOL

[democratisphere]

4. Comey would make a good running mate with Joe Biden.

[Tiggeroshii]

5. its an april fools joke, Im sure

[lagomorph777]

6. I hope he spends lots of time on that yellow line.

It's a great place to watch cars whiz past... usually they just whiz past anyway....

7. So who's gonna be your 'James Comey' and torpedo your opponent's campaign?

[brooklynite]

8. Study the photo...

9. Is he in Lebanon, KS?

[CentralMass]

23. I thought of Kansas too.

13. Corn! Iowa! Oh shit!

[Tipperary]

25. Looks to have been taken in the fall.

Trees wearing their autumn colors and the corn is grown.

[DontBooVote]

33. The tweet, however, was only 4 mins old when I posted it here.

[Tipperary]

34. Yes, obviously he tweeted an old pic. I have done that.

[DontBooVote]

35. Are you absolutely, positively, for reals sure?

[vlyons]

10. OK with me if he primaries Trump

But he don't belong on a Dem ticket. What he did to Hillary was unforgiveable.

[FakeNoose]

11. It's got to be a joke

He'd never run as a Democrat, so we don't need to worry about this.

[salin]

16. He is smart enough to know that he has few fans on either side

of the aisle.

I, too, think it is a joke.

[Pope George Ringo II]

27. Caitlyn Jenner could be his running mate?

As long as it's about burned bridges on both sides.

[comradebillyboy]

32. That is an inspired thought! The Jim and Chelsea show

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

14. There's corn off the right shoulder....

[Sanity Claws]

15. Suicide?

Standing the middle of a road, at the top of a slope, seems suicidal. Cars won't see him until they are over the slope and may be going too fast to stop.

[DontBooVote]

17. That happened to me once. But it wasn't James Comey, it was a full-growed moose.

[Sanity Claws]

18. you survived and lived to tell the tale!

I'm sure your story, now years later, is entertaining but was kind of scary back then.

[DontBooVote]

19. Scared the crap out of me! He was as tall at the shoulder as James Comey! Scared the crap out of the

moose, too! Just found the pic. Moose didn't get one of me, though.

[treestar]

21. He can see them before they get to the bottom of the hill

That's some long, flat, empty country.

[CentralMass]

24. I don't expect that they get much traffic in those parts.

[Blue_true]

36. Tractors, but he should be able to duck them easy enough. nt

[JI7]

20. fuck him

[WeekiWater]

22. He stands no chance against Trump in a primary. NT

[mahina]

26. I remember when he posted this. Is was a long time ago.

[Tipperary]

29. It is obviously during fall judging from the tree colors and the height of the corn.

[dem4decades]

28. He had big balls joking after what he did to America.

[FM123]

30. Not funny. After all he put us through he is going to giggle because it's April Fool's Day?

[Totally Tunsie]

31. One has to wonder why this photo was taken in the first place.

Seems like an odd scenario to capture. Was he just going for the loneliness of the road?
