This, of course, is not the issue. I'm surprised it keeps being discussed like it's a valid counterpoint. He should have been cut loose, yes. Long ago. But he wasn't. He wasn't until now, much deeper into the investigation. That is an ethical issue. This issue is not that he was canned. It is the timing.Quote:

I'm sure they were both laughing at the democrats from behind closed doors over a vodka.
Trump is pulling their chain and reveling in it.
Let's go to one of your leaders, Maxine Waters, for a dose of her most recent critical thinking. Rep. Waters wanted Comey fired until she didn't but now she has qualified that. "If [[Hillary) had won the White House, I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him. Yes.) -5/10/17Quote:

Now we are to pretend that if only Comey had stayed around a little longer, the failed Russian behind every tree narrative would be flushed out. Personally, I liked detente with Russia even before the Democratic Party became the new home of neocons under SOS Clinton and President Obama.
While Democrats, save Tulsi Gabbard and maybe Bernie, have been making a mess of detente and are trying to grab hold of any passing barge promising to vilify Trump and Russia, Russia's foreign minister Lavrov reported that his meeting with Trump went well.
"I would say that our dialogue as of now is free from ideology that was very typical for [Barack] Obama's administration. "Both Mr Trump and the secretary of state of his administration, as I realized today once again, are businesslike people and they want to reach agreements.""The goal of both President Trump and [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin is to have concrete results which will be tangible and which will allow us to alleviate problems, including on the international agenda."
The US press was so busy trying to make an issue of the legal firing of Comey that it must not have had time to cover the good news that Trump and Lavrov stepped back and away from a nuclear Armageddon. A Trump-Puting meeting is now scheduled for July. The Wash. Post, owned by the world's richest man, described the Lavrov meeting as 'strange'. The NY Times used the word 'awkward'. If Democrats and establishment Republicans want to continue to be irrelevant and have tantrums in their imaginary neocon world, that's ok but try not to break any furniture.
I have never done anything wrong in my lifetime.

We come in peace, until 10-6- 16.
Likely. But we'll never know. The point is that the argument presented was basically garbage.Quote:

Obama policies. Consequently, portraying Democrats as coming in peace is a hard sell. Sorry, Bernie, Gabbard, and Kucinich supporters but you are outnumbered.
I did see this article suggesting that Democrats switch their narrative from the failed anti-Russian diatribe to a Trump is crazy rant because the latter would be easier to set up. "The Resistance changes its attack from "Russian puppet" to "Trump is crazy" - which works best?" Maybe that would work better for you guys.
I agree with your premise, but a number of those things have nothing to do with Democrats, unfortunately. They should, because they're righteous, but the Democrats aren't interested in being righteous.Quote:

It's mildly disturbing how well the human species predicts these things.
HaHaHa... Thanks for reminding me of Douglas Adams great work.Quote:

Michael Moore Has a New Plan to 'Destabilize' Trump's PresidencyThere is some recent new activity on mmflint's YouTube channel. Here's one of many of my recently resurrected favorites:Quote:
No matter what you throw at him, it hasn't worked. No matter what is revealed, he remains standing. Facts, reality, brains cannot defeat him. Even when he commits a self-inflicted wound, he gets up the next morning and keeps going and tweeting. That all ends with this movie.
Our only hope is for Americans to collectively move but withhold our forwarding address from Trump. ;)
Ah man you lost me at Michael Moore. Can't stand that hypocrite.Quote:

Yes. The word for it is: it's Unamerican.Quote:

I liked Michael Moore in his fist movie taking on GM. I was turned off by a more recent movie of Moore's in which he found it necessary to insult dementia ridden Charlton Heston. A couple of years ago, Moore was estimated to be worth about $50M for his efforts. [[Power to the people!)
Why take shots at Americans? Democrats don't support single payer plans either. Otherwise blue states would have legislated their own single payer plans and Obamacare bureaucrats wouldn't have shot down Vermont's proposed single payer plan. Over 50% of US gun homicides are in 2% of US counties so you are probably inadvertently criticizing certain US demographics which could be a 'hate crime' in Canada. In the US, we are instead lucky enough to have guaranteed free speech and freedom of the press. The advantage of allowing people to say ugly things is that sometimes problems can be worked out instead of being driven underground if we are aware of where others are coming from.
You've got a weird sense of freedom Canuck if that's the definition you use.Quote:

Money only gives him more of a structure to keep plugging at subjects he wants to focus on in the future like GM does when designing prototypes.
Why would.a socialist not be allowed to make money? A true socialist will be more willing to part with some of it so more people benefit from his and others' collective wealth.
Lets just say he could afford to miss a few meals. :rolleyes:Quote:

Best Onion prank ever:
BREAKING: President Trump's Executive Order Shutting Down 'The Onion'.
'Covfefe' tells you all you need to know about Donald Trump
Then Spicer compounded the mystery with: "The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant."
Here's my theory: some unknown prankster [[Melania, were you there?) asked Trump if he could use the word "covfefe" in a sentence. Trump, being Trump, couldn't resist the challenge and the rest is history.
I am thinking he has a Iphone and it just inserted or changed the words to what it feels like much like mine,he was tired and did not check every word and sent it,of course it is funny about people freak out over a misspelled word like it is a nuclear attack or something.
Did not CNN fire somebody today ? I am surprised that they even have limits above a 6 year old at times.
