    Here's a bizarre, and incriminating (in my opinion), quote from trump during a Fox News interview:

    As part of the controversy, The New York Times reported that Trump demanded Comey pledge his loyalty during a dinner earlier this year. Comey reportedly refused, offering only to be honest.

    Trump told Fox News’s Jeanine Pirro in an interview excerpt released Friday that he did not demand the ousted FBI chief's loyalty, but said he did not find such a request "inappropriate," adding, "I don’t think it would be a bad question to ask. I think loyalty to the country, loyalty to the United States is important."

    trumps' towering ego, an ego that refuses to process that he's digging his own grave, is astonishing.

    We don't have much money to spend so we get Roku.
    They change some of their programming and add new shows.

    Murder and voter fraud are just a tad different in my book.

    It should be, but you are a r****d if you think Clinton is guilty of murder, especially more so when you hold up the irs as an example of trust in government but ignore the congressional investigations lead by Republican that doesn't even touch Clinton as guilty of murder.

    Im a little confused about something.
    Sessions recused himself correct?
    Trump fired Comey on Sessions' recommendation. Correct? This is what we are told as fact.
    Sessions believed Comey mishandled the Hillary investigation.
    Sessions recused himself from both the Russia and Hillary investigations.
    o_O


    Do these people even consider how bad something is going to look before doing it? Whats funny to me is that they didn't even have a replacement lined up. At least try to look competent to the public. Is that too much to ask?

    "Trump said Thursday he was thinking of “this Russia thing with Trump” when he resolved to fire Comey, whose agency is leading an investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential election. The comment to NBC News conflicts with Trump’s explanation to members of Congress earlier in the week that he dismissed Comey at the recommendation of the Justice Department, which cited the FBI director’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state as the reason he should be fired."

    I think Sessions is guilty of contempt of Congress. With Congress controlled by the GOP, he's still skating on his thin ice, feeling home free.

    Why are y'all still replying to this obvious troll? I mean, I would give him more credit if he wasn't such a volume poster to achieve his ends, but he really does waste a lot of y'all's time pretty effectively, just not efficiently. Anyway, he could not be more insincere and I'd ignore that account if I were you. Just two cents!

    Looked through his previous posts and I am afraid you are correct. Seems a shame that people will participate in an open discussion forum and choose that approach. Lesson learned I guess...

    Trump doesn't think, he is an impulsive sociopath.

    Never voted for Trump but would have.
    Not supporting him, just pointing out some of the inconsistencies and follies of the accusations and criticisms.

    "I didn't do it but IF I did it isn't that bad"....LOL classic Trump defense. Low effort.

    I mean even if all these allegations are false, the mere fact that our president of the United States believes it's morally acceptable for a FBI director to pledge loyalty to the president should make any Trump supporter pause
    You're failing pretty horribly though. Should put in more effort.

    Not according to the President.

    Trump: Oh, I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.

    The new talking point is "but nobody cared when Clinton fired Sessions!!". Riiiiight....guy even more hated by politicians and the general public, under investigation and was NOT investigating the president. But it doesn't matter because facts won't ever make it through the double-down bubble.

    Funny that Trump keeps trying to use Clapper as a character witness re: collusion with Russians...
