    Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi ... oops wrong thread.

    Russia Russia Russia!

    This is why I cant take the leftist serious. They have corrupted and ruined the Democrat party. They are drowning in their own hippocricy. One minute, he's hailed as a hero when he declares there is no evidence of Hillary and her emails. The next, he's a Trump support and should be fired immediately. Now that he's fired, Trump is covering up the Russian probe that lead to the exposure of the corrupt and unethical DNC email scandal. Democrats need to clean house and separate themselves from those who are taking lessons from the Republicans in doing nothing but being obstructionists.

    Me too - the media circus in this country has gotten out of control.
    Gone are the days of actual unbiased news that you could trust. Hint, I am showing my age.

    A president has every right to fire someone who might expose his treason

    Brah, you can't take the left seriously because of your partisanship.

    I love how the right is trying to use the left's criticism of comey as a reason it can not question his firing.

    Trump thought hew could use the fact that dems would be mad about the false testimony that hurt Clinton as cover to finally get rid of comey and kill the Russia probe.

    As deke would say....

    "No no no!"

    There were, what, eight different congressional investigations on Benghazi. Trump fires anyone that investigates him. That's exactly the same! Good call. You went full space ghost again.

    I don't have to be a scientist to tell you it's a fact that the earth is round. Trump and his campaign are being criminally investigated for collusion with the Russians and there is circumstantial evidence for days. That's a fact not my "partisan hack" opinion.

    When your stance on everything you have is in line with the Trump agenda than why does it matter who you say you voted for? Downplay wrong doing of Trump, downplay and mock protestors who protest his agenda, scoff at the media coverage of Trump, etc etc.

    Folks like yourself claim plausible deniability for supporting Trump but you support creating a political universe where he can exist and rule without checks and balances, and Mock and downplay anything that challenges the stance of his political universe.

    Trump was able to become president because folks like yourself said screw everyone, let's throw dynamite on a campfire and watch the whole park burn to the ground.

    Well Trump is showing everyone now what it looks like to burn everything to the ground. It's not the liberating experience they thought it would be.

    You all on the right are going to believe every negative thing possible you can against the left, and you all on the left are going to believe every negative thing possible you can against the right.

    But there is one fact, for now- Trump has a negative favorability rating among independents. People on the right think he's wonderful, people on the left think he's horrible, and people in the middle think he's neither wonderful nor horrible, but definitely less than average. Read into that what you will.

    I do enjoy a good tantrum every now and again and "folks like yourself" have been throwing one pretty much constantly ever since you nominated an absolute disaster for president and ended up handing the election to Donald F'n Trump. Take responsibility for what you did rather than blaming people who had nothing to do with it.

    Anyway, I do get that "folks like yourself" are going to continue throwing a tantrum for the next 4 years rather than learning from your mistakes and that's fine, but you ignorantly lashing out at me isn't going to make anything better for you kiddo.

    ... no truer words were ever spoken, but is this why Trump had a temper tantrum and fired Comey?

    Comey called Trump ‘crazy’ after Obama wiretapping claims: report

    The narrative that "democrats wanted him fired" and were "calling for him to be fired" and have now switched is a weird one. I know a lot of democrats complained about his actions and were concerned about things he had done, but I'm pretty that that the vast majority of elected democrats, in fact all but one that I've seen, repeatedly refused to say they wanted him fired when asked this year.

    I think at this point we can take it for granted that most partisan politicians in Washington, or in the public generally, are hypocrites. As partisanship has intensified, so has the hypocrisy.

    I guess anger over this firing depends on how seriously one takes the collusion allegations, because it's pretty clear there is a connection between the firing and the Russian probe.

    If Trump were to ban guns today, Libs would call for impeachment.
