Sick to my stomach watching Putin's mouthpiece in the White House laughing at us

...Russia's foreign minister meeting today with Trump.

Blood's boiling seeing Trump taunting sitting senators - on twitter in the last hour smearing Sen. Blumenthal, and making shameful remarks about 'crying' Democratic Senate Leader Schumer.

Trump believes he's above the law. He's certainly behaving like it, behaving like Putin.

Both Russia and our president (and now the republican leadership in the Senate) are mocking Americans, mocking our Democratic system of government and basically daring Democrats and others to stop them.

1. brain dead jackoffs in the media need to stop pushing their taking points

"But democrats didn't like comey".

So fucking what? ????

When it's clear the reasons they have for firing are not true they should stop with the both sides are equal shit.

2. +1

Yeah, a lot of Democrats didn't like how he handled Clinton and more than a few of us felt that he should have been fired after the election, but President Obama evidently had his reasons for not doing so and so he stayed on as FBI Director and carried on with his work regarding Russia and the Trump campaign. Whatever our feelings about Comey, it doesn't mean that it wasn't shady and suspicious that Trump just suddenly canned him at a pivotal point in the FBI's investigation with a strangely worded self-clearing termination letter. Like with Sally Yates, Trump can point to a paper-thin "reasonable" explanation for firing Comey, but almost nobody outside the GOP is actually buying it. In light of Yates' testimony the other day, HER firing- timed around the time that she was trying to warn Trump about Flynn- now seems WAY more suspicious than it did even back when it happened.

3. this was a major miscalculation by the WH

...if they believed Dems would embrace this firing or find themselves unable to criticize it because of earlier opposition to Comey.

They must have completely missed the collective view in the party that his replacement would be much worse. More than that, there's a profound ignorance of history and precedent here. This screams 'cover-up.'

They're either so guilty that this move was better than the alternative of letting the investigation continue under Comey, or so stupid they didn't realize the storm that would come. Or, both.

4. Of course McTurtle doesn't want a special counsel....

He's clearly shown that he was an active participant in the whole damn thing!

5. I'm glad I'm not the only one...

I watched it in real time and was completely disgusted.
