All Trump tweets are not equal.

Back when it happened Trump was praising the **** out of Comey for having the balls to come forward against Clinton. This is clearly an effort to hinder the FBI investigation into the Russian ties. And how was Sessions, who had to recluse himself from the investigation because of his own Russian ties, have a say in the matter?

If the director of the FBI can get fired how does that affect the effectiveness of anyone in the Bureau's motivation to speak out against the president?

Heads are exploding all over TV tonight.

This is huge. David Gregory was ready to jump out of his chair and strangle a GOP talking head who was saying it was all about Hillary.

Even though presidents have been using Twitter for several years. Not sure I get what point you're trying to make here.

I was gonna correct him but I figured he was doing it on purpose.

I'm all for political freedom and different points of view but when people start ignoring obvious realities, especially THIS OBVIOUS, it only screams to me that you either hate the opposing party so much that you're willing to put lives in danger, or you're too much of a pussy to admit you were wrong.

Trump fired Comey because he got tired of the investigation into his ties with Russia. It wasn't Hillary. If Trump really fired him because Comey spoke falsities in court then Sessions should be next and then Trump can resign himself.

Very possible. Though the Dems should be celebrating since they were calling for Comey to be fired last year anyway. He was a useful idiot for Trump until he no longer was. Plus as I mentioned, he's not being completely forthcoming on Fusion GPS or their ties to Russia. So there's several different narrative threads that need to be resolved. Heads on both sides of the ideological aisle will be rolling very soon. And Trump's may very well be among them.

At least you're seeing it for what it is. I don't like Comey. I just don't like Nixon-esque bullsh*t that Trump is pulling even more.

1. Damn, Comey is one huge dude. Would be cool if he and Trump could bump into each other mano y mano in a parking lot someday.

2. We have to build a wall to keep America safe. Oh, and by the way, let's fire the director of the FBI with no notice, and no successor lined up.
