[Draper]

God, I hope it's not all false hope. I want this fucker to get what he has coming to him.

 

[Lord Frieza]

I'm going to guess he was a lot more cunning, if not flat out much more intelligent.

Equally craven and vindictive, though.

Nixon? Yeah, definitely, no question, but he had a lot of the same traits.

Regardless of Trump's actual complicity in collusion with Russia, if he actually

Spoiler

almost certainly

fired Comey to thwart the Russia investigation, that's a horrendous abuse of power. It's fucking impeachable.

 

[mattiewheels]

Trump: We fired him because her emails
WaPo: Yo we heard
Everyone: That you
Everyone + WaPo: Are lyin

I never expected "But her emails!!" to still be a relevant excuse these days.

At this point good luck getting that done with the GOP siding with Trump at every step just because they want to remain in control of all three branches of government. They'd rather let democracy burn for the semblance of power. If the GOP continues to sit idly by like nothing is wrong, we are truly fucked.

Of course it is, but how are we going to prove it now unless Congress gets off their asses and does a real independent investigation? I'm not hopeful as long as the Republicans control it (it's truly party over country for them), but there are a few like John McCain who actually want to conduct an investigation, so who knows. Gotta put pressure on them at every single opportunity.

 

[Jonogunn]

I wonder how Trump sleeps at night knowing he's going down in history as America's dumbest traitor.

He doesn't think that. That's how.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Republicans are scum.

 

[BeforeU]

Republicans are scum.

Yup and this is more troubling than anything tbh

 

[Barzul]

The hits keep coming apparently the Deputy AG threatened to quit after being cast as the reason for Comey being fired.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...bar&tid=a_breakingnews&utm_term=.5f43449bb65f

Rosenstein threatened to resign after the narrative emerging from the White House on Tuesday evening cast him as a prime mover of the decision to fire Comey and that the president acted only on his recommendation, said the person close to the White House, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

The hits (leaks) keep coming. I love it.

 

[daveo42]

He should totally quit. Right now he's like the only support that the WH has for Comey being fired has some sort of bi-partisan footing.

 

[cakely]

Leaks keep the orange shitstain up at night.

I think we can officially put "obstruction of justice" on the articles of impeachment.

 

[arglebargle]

Doubt Spicey would have been a source for a story where he gets blamed and humiliated.

Ivanka and Kushner were clearly the sources behind the Ivanka and Kushner part of the story.



In many yes.

But also, still a traitor!

burr was acquitted of the treason charges. Based on what I know about Jefferson I'm willing to believe the charges were bogus. Still a bizarre story.

 

[Militant17]

So this is a slow moving Russian coup that ends with a Tsar Trump I, right?

This is a bizarre time to be alive. lol

 

[cwmartin]

leak it all!

 

[Yankee Ruin X]

"Mr. Comey started receiving daily instead of weekly updates on the investigation, beginning at least three weeks ago, according to people with knowledge of the matter and the progress of the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe. Mr. Comey was concerned by information showing possible evidence of collusion, according to these people."

Itshappening.gif? I hope they have got something on him that will stick.

 

[gcubed]

I'm not sure how dumb you have to be to think that firing him was going to go well for you

 

[mclem]

Leakier than his Moscow hotel room.

Leakiwicks.

 

[mclem]

Deep Throat was a disgruntled FBI agent who didn't like how the POTUS was treating the FBI.

Nixon should have just asked how Mark felt.

 

[Journeywalker]

Leakiwicks.

As clever as that is, I think it's better to classify these as whistleblowers instead of leakers.

So...Whistleblowjobbers?

 

[slider]

I mean, Trump has to have some condition, right? There's childish, there's narcissistic, there's stupid... But this is something more. Something waaaay on the far end of whatever scale he's on.

 

[DrForester]

I wonder how Trump sleeps at night knowing he's going down in history as America's dumbest traitor.

Probably pretty well so long as Congress continues to protect him and block and real investigation.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I hope all this brings Trump much discomfort and pain

 

[StrikeNinja24]

Boss tried to pull that line on me yesterday.

Didn't end well for his argument.

 

[Rudimental]

[Cake Boss]

How is he still in office, how much more needed for grounds of impeachment?

 

[Kyzer]

"...But hey, atleast he's not Hillary Clinton. I am so glad I committed treason to help him win, even though I was investigating him for Russian ties, even then. "

Holy shit this is so old hyperbolic and misinformed. So youre one of the people Trump thought he would win over by firing him.

 

[AlexFlame116]

This man is insane.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Yeah, 30 different sources. this administration.... this makes me think the republicans are some evil empire trying to ruin everyone's well being for the sake of holding power.

 

[lazygecko]

30 is nothing compared to the countless FBI sources they claim to have.

 

[DerangedHermit]

This new season of House of Cards has really bad writing, none of this could possibly happen.

Writer: So the President fires the person investigating him for collusion with Russia. And then on the next day, he invites the Russians to the Oval Office including one of their spies. And---

Producer: FUCK OUT HERE! You're fired!

It's only impeachable if Congress acts on it. So long as Congress continues to stonewall, and provide nothing more than lip service to an actual investigation, all these revelations mean nothing.

Trump supporters aren't turning on him, and Congress won't act. These revelations prove Trump is corrupt. But we already knew that. Sad fact is, nothing has changed except Trump will soon have a stooge in charge of the FBI and the investigation will end.

I know this is a bit of a tangent to your point but...he should have resigned.

I don't care about leaking to the press a "I have morals" stance when you are still actively complicit in a cover up and still decide to keep your job.

Same reason I never gave a shit about all the people vouching for Trump appointees who talked to them behind closed doors and were assured the person would be reasonable and yet those same appointees refused to publicly say so on the record.

Same reason I refuse to give any credit for Ivanka "I'm a Feminist but Refused to Pay Maternity Leave" Trump as some sort of moderating force on Donald when he's still out here in these streets stripping away our protections and deporting people on racist pretenses.

 

[DarkKyo]

If Trump was some poor guy with his intelligence he would have died of stupidity on the streets in the 80's.

Really think he is nuts enough to launch a bunch of nukes when he's backed into a corner.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Can the American Govt seize all his property when all is said and done? That'd be delicious.
