Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

I think its not unwise to blame trump for any decrease in worker productivity over the first year of his presidency. I cant get a fucking thing done bc of the news.

.@POTUS will be defined by this decision-consumed by it-for however long his presidency endures, and beyond.

FBI Director/ Badass Cowboy Sheriff David Clarke

Joe Arpaio's free

Next FBI Director's marching orders will be: "Lock her up!"

Do we seriously think that could happen? The blatant use of the fbi to punish (defeated!) political opponents?

That's that dictator shit people were warning about during the campaign

but the persecution of political opponents was Hoover's bag since the Palmer raids. You should listen to his taped chats w/LBJ.

^^^

I have to think this 18 day delay before firing Flynn is really going to come back and bite Trump in the ass. They had confirmation someone was compromised, did nothing, and are even admitting it.

nothing's going to bite him in the ass until the Dems take the House.

jesus

imagine biting trump in the ass tho

Tastes like KFC.

it's p clear by this point that there are no circumstances under which the GOP congress will turn on him, party loyalty and paranoid short-term self-interest dictate it. Trump could be murdering Christian babies on the White House lawn on the daily and McConnell and Ryan would find some excuse to look the other way.

you cant keep calling it short term if it doesnt hurt them in the long term tbh

I feel like there might be a tipping point in terms of public disgust but idk if its possible for trump to ever "lose" his base so

Nixon fired the AG. lol u think he fired Hoover?!?

firing's very much in character

beatle tax entered in the heath ledger

Maverickin'!

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.): “While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President’s decision to remove James Comey from office. James Comey is a man of honor and integrity, and he has led the FBI well in extraordinary circumstances. I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. The president’s decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee.”

uh uh, mr wilson; uh uh, mr heath

lmao

FUN FACT: President Nixon never fired the Director of the FBI #FBIDirector #notNixonian pic.twitter.com/PatArKOZlk

eh I expect Nixon to tweet this fact soon

this is not real good either and is going to get lost in today's news

the reason nobody fired Hoover is because Hoover had dirt on every single President that ever came into office and they all knew it

cia director dustpan never let anything get swept under the rug tho

US Sen Joe Manchin says Sen Intel Comm will call Comey to testify over his firing and what he was investigating.

You know, I'd believe this

Senior officials at White House did not think firing FBI Director Comey would be a big political explosion.@DanaBashCNN
