Or maybe he should have been fired for how he handled investigating Clinton's emails but he shouldn't have been fired for investigating Trump's ties to Russia.

There will always be larger transgressions. You can always say this doesn't matter because this is worst.

"wanting to undo everything Obama did."

"History trends upward."

I worked at a movie theater (Santa Fe's Jean Cocteau) and once found a pair of pants someone left behind.

Not just exploiting but encouraging them. People's beliefs generally change to match the beliefs of those they identify with.

"I would think that the Venn diagram of flat-earthers and climate-change denialists is basically a circle."

Didn't he piss of Israel though by further acknowledging he gave Russia their info?

"No such thing as marital rape" guy as well.

Yes, that is a film she was in.

Also through sheer incompetence!

To some extent, people choose the lies they believe in. My main objection to calling Republicans stupid or brainwashed is it makes them passive, as if they would otherwise be different. I doubt it. Politics is often more a matter of who one identifies with, who one trusts (insert Democracy for Realists plug here) than…

He really doesn't understand how the EU works. Or for that matter how anything works.

You're giving way too much credit to Trump. He often doesn't even know he has a second daughter.

I certainly hope so. The free world needs leaders. Merkel, Macron, and Trudeau seem great.

I'm not sure anyone votes for the GOP to better their situation. It seems mostly to be about worsening conditions for others. It's a politics of cruelty.

Unsurprisingly, he's probably improving our relationships with dictatorships, since he feels much more comfortable around dictators than leaders who were democratically elected.
