Trump's keeping his word. Draining the swamp by firing FBI director Comey. Dems complain?
Can you believe these whining cry baby judgmental Democrats? They would find a way to crucify Trump if he saved a drowning grandmother from a flooded road. They would say he should have left her in the car until trained emergency personel showed up. They would say he HATES OLD PEOPLE and takes chances with their lives.
I thought Hillary and the Democrats were blaming Comey for her presidential loss? They shoud be praising Trump for getting rid of what Democrat's called a partisan incompetent FBI director.
Nah, Democrats are showing who they are, and their Party is made up of corrupt hypocritical extremist ideologs. They dispise all Conservatives. They think of us as deplorable and irredeemble. They hang paintings of Presdient Trump's severed head on the walls of public Colleges like Berkeley.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? OUR PRESIDENT'S SEVERED HEAD PUT ON OUR COLLEGE WALLS FOR OUR IMPRESSIONABLE STUDENTS TO SEE, PURPOSELY TRYING TO SHAPE THEIR THINKING.
Tolerance of diversty of thought? Open minded inclusion of differing political beliefs? LOOK WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE LEFT IN THIS NATION! They have become everything they always pretended to hate.
From, what I'm hearing from most of the dems. I know is this: "Why wait for this amount of time? There wasn't a complaint from the Trump administration about the leaks during the election. So why out him?" I think most of the American people are confused, and slightly worried. They feel as if the Trump administration is trying to cover something up. Now this does not mean they are, however the circumstances and the timing involved may seem as if they were.
Maybe you missed that just a week ago Trump recieved a letter from the Atourney Genreal's office that Comey should be fired for things he has done and is still doing.
The Democrat Party held up the AG nomination as long as they could and FINALLY we are getting some results.
This is why he is getting fired now. The Democrat Witch hunters have been trying to find dirt on Trump and Russia since before his election. Just as recently as last week they STILL have found NO EVIDENCE suggesting wrong doing.
Why should he leave a bad FBI director in charge of the FBI when they now know so much more about him and now having the means to fire him.
If Comey is indeed partisan, then he should not be leading any investigations on anything any longer.
If you are still so worried about Russia, the next FBI director can unbiasedly lead the investigation.
You are being conditioned by the Democrat Party and Liberal media's witch hunt. You are beliving and thinking exactly how they want you to think.
This is why a painting of Trump's severed head in on the walls of our public College. They are conditioning our next generations of students that will be running this nation.
Maybe you missed the fact that I just got done saying this is what the democrats think. I never claimed this is what I think. I sometimes wonder if you actually read the arguments of others.
I have enough intelligence to know that when people bring up the talking points of those on the Right or Left, the person bringing up those talking points most likely....AGREE WITH THOSE TALKING POINTS!
Why else would they be expressing the talking points from just the one side?
I would like you to actually respond to what I said rather than wasting our time denying your motives.
Wow. This is what its come to. I do not stand with the democrats at all, I never have. Same thing with the conservatives. I'm a independent. I just said the things I have heard from the democrats, because I haven't heard the conservatives complaining much. So much for intelligence... more like paranoia.
Do you know how many so called independents I listen to on this debate site who most times agree with the Left?
Try watching Fox news and listen to the other side of the spectrum in America. There are litterally millions of so called deplorable irredeemble folks out their who have no problem at all with Trump firing Comey, after watching Bill Clinton on the back of Jet with our Attoruney General days before Comey interviews Hillary.
He gives a speech on national TV speking to the extreme carelessness with our classified Government documents and then does what he is not suppose to do. Tells everyone that if it were up to him, he would not prosecute her. GOOD RIDDANCE TO HIM!
People should possess the intellect to understand that the Russia investigtion will not only continue, but get more attention by the replacement FBI director.
Gee if Trump were trying to stop the Russia investigation, he did the worst thing possible. I don't believe hs is that stupid. There hs been no evidence found connecting Trump to Russia! Democrats will spend the next eight years chasing concocted rumors so as to obstruct this administration from getting nything done. They have been a million times worse than the GOP in that regard.
Who would want such a bad FBI director investigating anything? The AG wanted him out no matter how bad it looked.
Too many... Yeah, which is why, I'm showing the democrats side of the story. You and all of the other conservatives have that view point down fine. However the catalyst, the thing that made this blow up were the democrats.
I have enough intelligence to know that when people bring up the talking points of those on the Right or Left, the person bringing up those talking points most likely....AGREE WITH THOSE TALKING POINTS!
No on both accounts. Just like I've brought up points where I am bringing up something that defends an Atheist, it does NOT mean I'm an Atheist or necessarily agree with their side. It just means the person bringing up the points are capable of, and intelligent enough, to see or understand both sides, whether they agree or not.
I have read every response you have written to me pertaining to the many Conservative opinions held by millions of Americans, and never once have I seen you write a response in a supporting way towards my debates.
Try looking in the mirror and see the truth of who you are and where your politics lie. You are anything but an independent thinker. You lean far more to the Left.
Then you haven't actually read my debates or you've only focused on what goes against you. I've repeatedly stated that I think there are problems and agree with you on certain things, but agreeing with you for one portion doesn't automatically mean I agree with you in EVERYTHING you say. Unfortunately with you it's an all or nothing thing and that's just not how life is.
Unfortunately with you, it's always you attacking my positions.
I laugh everytime I listen to Liberals begin their response with for example........ I did not like how they displayed Trump's severed head on a public College wall, BUT BUT BUT BUT and then they write their entire response supporting the Left's narrative.
In your mind, this is being independent and agreeing with both sides. Let me repeat...HOGWASH!
Yet again you show that you don't read responses and only focus on anything that disagrees with you. Yet again I say, the world isn't an all or nothing place. I will agree with you when you're right, I will point out when I think there's another side or when I think you are just plain wrong.
Sure I'm sure there have been a few times you have agreed with the obvious TRUTH, but the vast majority of the time you find fault with anything i say. You are not independent like you think you are.
I have read every response you have written to me pertaining to the many Conservative opinions held by millions of Americans, and never once have I seen you write a response in a supporting way towards my debates.
Key words, "every response....."
to:
Sure I'm sure there have been a few times you have agreed with the obvious TRUTH, (truth~ being what you believe and only what you believe)
You can yell hogwash til you turn blue, that doesn't mean you're correct. Don't get me wrong, there are times, little though they may be, that I admire your steadfast determination on something. That can be a good thing until you go from standing your ground to just being bullheaded and stubborn against facts that go against your stance.
Seeing one persons side to something doesn't means conceding to it, you don't have to be so afraid of clarifying for the other side when you know the side you usually stand by doesn't have something right.
You know the problem you Progressives have is you can't figure out where to stand on any issue because your Progressive Media keeps you confused.
Here are some prominent Democrats who made it known that it’s time for a new FBI director.
Schumer said on November 2, “I do not have confidence in him any longer.”
That same day, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told CNN, “Maybe he’s not in the right job.”
Then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said in September that”of course” Comey should resign after he received a report on alleged Russian election interference.
Democrat Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen wrote a whole column in November entitled: “For the sake of the FBI, Comey should resign.”
Democrat California Rep. Maxine Waters said after a January briefing with Comey that, “the FBI director has no credibility.” Democrat Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson echoed this and said, “My confidence in the FBI director’s ability to lead this agency has been shaken.”
Where do you Progressives stand on Comey one minute you hate him the next minute you love him !
I don't know enough about him to hate or love him. I would like to get both sides to the argument before I made any judgments, hence why I didn't comment directly to the topic of the debate. Do you have source material that explains the situation? I would be happy to read what you believe to be an accurate representation to the facts at hand.
Let me ask you, can you truly not see why some Democrats would be suspicious with the timing of his firing?
Why wasn't he fired before with the reason they gave....the Hillary Clinton email situation and his disclosures in the course of criminal investigations? But now the Director of the FBI (Comey) who is or was looking into Russian ties to those working for Trump is fired based off the recommendation of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions (sp?) who is a man that had to recuse himself in the matters of the Russian inquiry.
It's also interesting that Trump praised Comey during the pre-election but now fires him when Comey is looking into the Russian concerns. So yeah, I can see both sides. Comey should have been gone a bit ago but I also see why there is a concern about the timing of this.
Now this was based off a very quick search so if you have an article that suggests another reason for him being fired, or sheds a different light, do please share.
If you or any other Progressive can show Russian collusion in the election then do so ! No politician as of yet has done so ! As i see it Comey began that investigation in July of 2016 and not once shred of evidence as of this day !
You didn't answer the question. Can you not open your eyes enough to at least see why some Democrats may be suspicious of this? Trump was a-ok with Comey when he was looking into Hillary's emails and praised him, but now with suspicious timing, he's listening to a man who was suspected of having Russian ties and Comey was looking into it? Comey just requested additional resources a few days ago to look into this and they were just starting to subpoena people to testify in the investigation when he was fired with zero warning. Do you not, even in the slightest, raise your eyebrow at this?
After how many years of research on Hillary did Republicans ever find out she committed a felony? I mean other than improper handling of her emails, did Republicans ever find anything illegal? This is mostly rhetorical as I just don't care, I won't defend her. The Russian concern only really became suspect about 5 months ago, there was talk but now they are gathering evidence, Trump has already let go of....what....two people because of ties to Russia or they've been forced to resign. My numbers may be wrong on that but as of now Michael Flynn has been given a subpoena by the Congressional committee for his purported ties. There is a lot of suspicion as to why the investigation is being railroaded as well with the false claims of the Obama wiretap.
LOL, keep listening to Left wing media telling you what to think.
Trump just recieved a week ago the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein(hugely supported by both the GOP and Democrat Party) to fire Comey.
You want me to bring up the Liberal biased media's talking points and bring up Russia?
They have as much info on this as the people who claimed Elvis was on the moon. They just keep beating that drum trying to manifest liberal groupthink. "Trump bad... Trump bad... Trump bad... Trump bad..."
And then their zombie army puts on black masks and tries to attack the police and burn property in the streets.
You are listening to the biased press. This IS NO CONSTITUTIONL CRISIS!
This is nothing but Trump draining the swamp as he promised.
Do you actually think Democrats care about what Trump did? They will try to crucify him no matter what he does.
Democrats are on record saying Comey should be gone, so tell me why they would want who they called a partisan FBI director investigating Trump on this Russia thing? Why would they want a supposed partisan for Trump investigating Trump.
I really don't see who you call democrats anymore... It seems to be all the people who disagree with Trump...
Anyway, it doesn't look good for "democrats". It does make them look like hypocrites but same goes for Trump. During the campaign, he did praise the director for starting his Clinton investigation. Now, why did he change his mind? Couldn't Trump just enlighten his people with explicit reasons and examples that led him to his decision?
All he is doing now is fuming and criticizing democrats. But he should address his people and explain himself because you have to admit it looks fishy and it isn't absurd to ask ourselves questions. I never thought Russia influenced the election. I thought it to be far fetched. I now have doubt. But he could remove those questions and speak to his people ( not tweet )
The AG told Trump that Comey should go. Democrats told Trump that Comey should go!
These are a few of the many easily answered questions. Trump has said many stupid things during the campaign.
He talks off the cuff rather than repeating scripted rhetoric like most politicians spew. IT'S REFRESHING that he taks like you and I and is not a professional liar. He actually answers questions and puts his foot in his mouth.
Why would trump do something that would put more focus on Russia is he was trying to hide something? Why would trump actually like Comey for telling everyone not to prosecute Hillary?
Trump never does what we think he will do. He is not a career politician trained in the art of lying to the American people. Sure he has lied in the past and will probaby lie in the future. THEY ALL LIE!
But i would trust him over any other Politician out there. He is actually tryng to do what he said he would do during his campaign and the Democrats know they can not scare him with the biased press and fake news.
Democrats faer and hate him more than any other republican alive because he is actually trying to do what he said he would do. He is not a corrupt phoney sayng one thing to the people, and doing another when elected.
I would like to thank you for your response. It made my smile and laugh.
Trump is definitely refreshing. Very different. I believe that is what gave him the election. And I do find his statements entertaining. I don't know if I can relate to him. I am also an impulsive person but I was forced to think before I talk... Even if every word I say is true.
Trump would definitely accidentally make that mistake. He is impulsive. He liked him for bringing up the emails days before the election.
No trump is always a surprise. Hey, honestly, I find that entertaining in a person. But when a person has big responsibilities, impulse is not what I want.
Of course politician lie. It is part of the job. If the people were to know everything it would be utter chaos. Obama tried to do what he says he would do. He gave healthcare.
Trump did change his mind on a lot of things... Which is a good sign. It means he is informing himself.
How can someone during his campaign really know what is possible and what isn't ? They don't now half of what is really going on.
You are correct about most of what you said. I disagree that Obama did what he said he woud do.
Yes, he did Obamacare because that is what HE wanted to do. The American people actually told him over and over through polls that they did not want Obamacare. Ted Kennedy's (big government healthcare politician) own home state voted for a person to replace Kennedy when he died, and they voted for the politician that opposed Obmacare.
Obama actually made mention of how the people spoke, but then he met with Nancy Pelosi and they decided to ram it through anyways.
Obama told us he would bring both parties together in partisanship. LOL
Obama told us he hated the dangerously high national debt and said it was unpatriotic to allow it to get so high. LOL.... he doubled it!
Obama told us we could keep our doctors and our premiums would go down....LOL
So, no, Obama did very very little of what he said he would do.
I'm gad i could make you laugh. I got many laughs as well from Trump's off the cuff statements. But I got bigger laughs every time the biased Liberal media declared that his statement was the last straw and that it would cost him the election.
Trump was the leader we were desparate for, not some weak kneed politician afraid of not being politically correct.
When they reminded him that in the past he called Rosie Odonnell a fat cow, he shot back SHE IS! LOL
He was smart like a Fox going after the biased media. He is the first man to take on the media and did not give one hoot what they said bout him. He never apologised to those hypocritical idiots.
Trump was being investigated for conspiring with Russia and he has fired the police officer that was investigating him. I admit that this guy should have been fired for the Hilary thing but it is pretty terrible that Trump should do it while there is an on-going investigation against him.
The investigation is not only ongoing, but long going as well. No evidence has been found in nearly a year of searching, by the most competent investigative organization in the world. Time to dig for dirt somewhere else.
You are spewing the same talking points from these obstructionist Democrats.
The investigation concerning this Russia thing WILL CONTINUE without Comey. The next FBI director that will be picked by both Parties, will not be biased as Comey seemed to be towards Hillary when he recommended she not be prosecuted.
It's laughble what these Democrats are doing. If Hillary had won, Comey would hve been fired as well and the Democrats would be CELEBRATING FOR ALL TO SEE!
Guess what, the Liberal media would have down played and buried the story as quickly as humanly possible.
There is no evidence concerning a connection between Trump and Russia but Democrats are hideous poor loser children and will drag out anythung they can to obstruct any accomplishments for the GOP.
