The girl is still a hero, though.

legit

Actually the body language in the way he moves his head to focus on the girl demonstrates empathy and interest, so that's obviously inaccurate.

But yeah, still, props to the girl.

You know that Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution?  Totally fake, fake clause.  In fact Lincoln could've banked a lot more off the tail end of the Civil War if he wasn't such a cuck, cuz real presidents don't get shot in the back, right?

Trump fires Comey...

"thanks for the Clington email bullshit, seeya!"

btw what is with the New York Times website frontpage, it looks like it's stuck in the late 90s.

So can the Russia investigation get shut down? How does this work?

There won't be anything left to save in 2020

Watergate anyone?

It will end up being a bigger shit show than Nixon's presidency I suspect.

I just hope we can still vote these asswipes out.

My analysis is that this is awesome. The slippery slope began ages ago but we are getting into it real good now.

Don't think a vote will be needed! He just fired the lead investigator into his party's alleged dealings with Russia during the election, if I'm understanding correctly? Can't see how someone somewhere in the system won't whistleblow on this shit. Isn't this almost synonymous with the Nixon impeachment?

Even if the termination of Comey was not because he was investigating these connections, wouldn't public perception of the situation frustrate drumpfs ability to carry out presidential duties and thus warrant impeachment?

I've read barely more than headlines whilst browsing, but my impression was that Comey was fired for statements he made in a hearing last week which were claimed to be false/highly exaggerated by multiple, anonymous members of the FBI. This was probably a 'strike three' sort of thing with his heavily-publicized history of being misleading.

Someone please do correct me if that's incorrect, I'm not reading up on this shit tonight.

not really. trump faces little to no opposition from congress. and unlike nixon who had richardson to contend with as attorney general, trump has jeff sessions who was part of his campaign and will not challenge anything he does. doesn't help that a number of people wanted comey gone.

nixon fired people for not doing what he wanted until he put someone in who followed orders.

Apparently McCain is trying to form an independent investigation into Trussia post-Comey firing, we'll see how far that's allowed to get...
