Praising Joe Lieberman, Trump's pick for FBI chief on MSNBC?? Nicole and Brian Williams yapping

how great he is an just gushing over him.

Oh really???? The person who screwed us out of Medicare for those over 55. His one freaking selfish insurance company toady vote gets covered over with the fact he was a "freedom rider" when an idealistic youth. How long ago?



And they want to replace Lawrence with the like of those two. Republicans at heart.

Also I always thought he did a lot of harm to Al Gore and what about how close he was to McCain. UHG

Not that anyone Trump appoints has any experience with the job they've been appointed to. But I always thought the FBI director was someone with a law enforcement background.

Is it because he's Deputy Dog?

Promise Trump you'll do everything in your power to protect him. Joe's all-in. Why else would he be the pick? Anyway, that's what this is about, not his occasional and distant humane impulses.

single-handedly defeated opening up Medicare during Senate negotiations on ACA bill after House passed public option and campaigned for his BFF McCain against Obama.

But now his law firm is Trump's go-to law firm so no surprise Trump considers him.

But the media keeps calling him a Dem and going back to remind us that he was a Dem VP nominee with no mention of his turning his back on Democrats in CT for the sake of his own ego - and his outright slam to nominee Obama during 2008 campaign. The media lurve them some "bipartisanship" bs.
