*******BREAKING NYT********Trump demanded Comey kiss his ring. He refused

[DemocratSinceBirth]

WASHINGTON — Only seven days after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as president, James B. Comey has told associates, the F.B.I. director was summoned to the White House for a one-on-one dinner with the new commander in chief.

The conversation that night in January, Mr. Comey now believes, was a harbinger of his downfall this week as head of the F.B.I., according to two people who have heard his account of the dinner.

As they ate, the president and Mr. Comey made small talk about the election and the crowd sizes at Mr. Trump’s rallies. The president then turned the conversation to whether Mr. Comey would pledge his loyalty to him.


Mr. Comey declined to make that pledge. Instead, Mr. Comey has recounted to others, he told Mr. Trump that he would always be honest with him, but that he was not “reliable” in the conventional political sense.

6. Actual headline: In a Private Dinner, Trump Demanded Loyalty. Comey Demurred.

Actual story:

Comey, as the nation's number one law enforcement officer, knew better than to break the law.
The Incompetent-in-Chief, who can barely read the law, cluelessly sought to obstruct justice.

13. "I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story..."

I've heard that narcissists will refer to themselves in the third person when speaking, but what kind of fucked up mental illness makes someone think of themselves in the third person?

At this point, I'd take a Pence in the Oval Office, if it means keeping Trump away from the nuclear launch codes.

The VP and the cabinet need to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.
