If the person who can fire you begins a statement with “I hope you can” 99.9% of the population knows that really means “Do this or you’re fired” and we know this is what Trump meant BECAUSE THEN HE FIRED HIM FOR NOT DOING IT.

Today I heard a speaker on NPR speaking about Trump and Comey say:

Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!

At this point he can’t be removed for stupidity and senility?

Stassa, you really have to look at the exchange surrounding Trump’s claim that he would speak under oath (emphasis mine):

You are a very angry troll. Btw, the 9/11 commission report was released in 2004. Damn that Barry and his time traveling! 

So Tiger was driving a $200,000 Mercedes Benzodiazepine?

I think I’m just tired of all the winning, really. 

Anyone else just exhausted from all the drama with this President?

They’re not even rewarding average competence any more. Straight up incompetence is a cause for celebration.

I wonder if this tactic by the GOP will hurt President Two Scoops’ fragile ego.

Yeah. He’s new to the Presidency, but not corruption and influence and graft and general scumbaggery.

Also, yes, to paraphrase Comey, if this was just cluelessness and not a deliberate abuse of power why the fuck would trump send everyone out of the room before asking him for loyalty or whatever the fuck? Jesus Christ I know the dude is incompetent and tapes his clothes together and throws a hissy fit every 48 hours…

They need to stop. It didn’t work for George Costanza and it won’t work for Drumpf.

Eh, asking everyone but Comey to leave the room makes me think he knew exactly what he was doing. The incompetency thing does have merit, but Trump asking for everyone to leave isn’t simply a rookie mistake.

All these traitors need to get frog-marched out of Washington in chains. 

Clearly, in Trump’s mind (mistakenly) President = Mob Don, and he can command blind loyalty. AKA...
