And I was just about to go to sleep.

 

[tirminyl]

Holy Cow!

 

[Shoeless]

Wow. Suspending elections is probably just a year or two away at this rate. He's preparing the White House for Barron and getting ready to install a throne.

#pray4theinvestigation

 

[Jawbreaker]

have ya'll seen this shit

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

I'm fucking done, guys.

 

[Zackat]

Well that was unexpected

 

[Metalingus5150]

The powers of the president will not be questioned

 

[Cat Party]

Trump is claiming he fired Comey for getting Trump elected.

It's all starting to make sense.

 

[RustyNails]

Trump is claiming he fired Comey for getting Trump elected.

EXACTLY!!! OH MY GOD

 

[ICO_SotC]

Holy shit at them claiming it's over the handling of the Clinton email case.

 

[Pastry]

That letter is goddamn hysterical

 

[Tovarisc]

CNN's talking heads aren't holding back. Going all in on how terrible this move is for FBI investigation etc etc

 

[King Tubby]

If anything it's another nail in his coffin. The last bastard that tried this was Nixon and look at how well that ended for him.

This is as much of an indictment of guilt as anything. Trump has dug his grave to the point of no return with this stunt he just pulled.

Only if the public puts pressure on elected officials. There need to be massive protests and constant calls to congressmen.

 

[Easy_D]

Putin's Amerika.

You dropped two k's

 

[Robdraggoo]

Yeah it's just a "Lol Obama stuff gotta go!!" deal but still. Not a good look, makes him look weak too.

Combined with this statement, you have a very unfortunate user name

 

[The Last Wizard]

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III told Donald Trump to fire the leader of an investigation that Sessions was forced into recusal over because he was implicated in it

And not only did Trump actually do it, Trump just told the nation that Sessions was responsible for the impetus for this

This is somehow not even the 10th most stupid thing Trump has done in the so-far-5-month-old year

How in the ever loving fuck do we not have some defense against this, it's fucking illegal.

 

[Dan]

AG Sessions reccomendation:

I can't. This is insane.

 

[smileyforall220]

So are we basically nearing a constitutional crisis?

 

[pigeon]

Something tells me you'll be hearing a lot about them in the coming weeks.

Yeah. For example: "Hillary's email investigation was mishandled so badly that DONALD TRUMP FIRED THE FBI DIRECTOR FOR MAKING HER LOOK GUILTY."

 

[Tamanon]

That's.....incredibly dumb on his part, especially pretending it's about the Hillary Email investigation.

You'd think comey didnt figure this would eventually happen

 

[The Artisan]

so does this mean the whole russia thing is done for good?

 

[benzy]

have ya'll seen this shit

"Let's fire him for helping us win the election."

And Trump supporters will believe this shit, lmao.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I wonder what kind of juicy info he has in his possession though

 

[Croyles]

Wtf is up over there folks? You guys need a hug? I give good hugs.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

I can't imagine even some Republicans being okay with this shit in the Senate.

 

[Zyae]

AG Sessions reccomendation:

So they are trying to frame it that he got fired for mishandling the clinton investigation and holding that press conference. I mean it almost sounds like the White House is trying to divert attention, hmm.

 

[LiK]

Trump is a giant POS. He don't wanna be investigated.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

so does this mean the whole russia thing is done for good?

Not even close.

 

[McLovin]

Holy shit holy shit hoooooly shit wowowowowowowowowowow

 

[Balphon]

It was special prosecutor time months ago, this just seals it.

 

[JadedWriter]

Same moves, but Nixon wasn't a foreign spy. That shit was a blip compared to this.

You know a situation is fucked when you can make a valid argument for Nixon being better.

 

[orochi91]

Not gonna lie...

Those checks-and-balances seem pretty non-existent right about now.

This guy seems to be able to do whatever he wants :/

 

[davepoobond]

A...self-coup?

consolidation of power from multiple departments into one central office

 

[cakely]

This is legitimately insane.

It's Nixon 2.0. Does the orange shitstain somehow think this will end the investigation?

 

[Jeels]

Uhh people better fucking take to the streets for this. If shit doesn't go down soon this country is fucked.

 

[CitizenCope]

This is fascinating.

 

[Byakuya769]

Oh shit! They've boxed us in with their "he shouldn't have ignored norms and gone around AG Lynch.

Pack it up gang, we can't win. Cancel all planned protest, pls.

 

[Boke1879]

Why are you guys acting surprised? 0 repercussions for Trump and he shuts down the only investigation with the slightest potential to get somewhere


Basically, nothing will come of this was the right position all along

You're literally just saying shit. He just fired Comey and now you think NOTHING will happen?

 

[jmood88]

This is what republicans decided to hitch their wagons to. I hope every single republican who supported Trump loses their job and is forever unemployable.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

When I started seeing the stories about how he misspoke about Huma Abedin's emails last week, I knew this was going to happen. They will probably argue that he perjured himself, and thus had to be removed.

I suspect those loyal to him might see this as Trump's attempt to curb the investigation and start leaking stuff, though.

 

[Apdiddy]

Jeffrey Toobin speaking the truth on CNN, yet Wolf Blitzer has no reaction. Why am I not surprised?

 

[Karsticles]

Wanna bet Trump will lie that this was the reason:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...4c1c7e-34bd-11e7-b373-418f6849a004_story.html

According to people on T_D, Comey was fired because he protected Clinton.

Spoiler

LOL

 

[Epsilon-delta]

What a megaton.

It is shady as fuck, and we need those checks and balances asap.

Our country is going to shit under this administration.

 

[Oblivion]

This doesn't even make sense. Why would they wait five months to get rid of him?

 

[Darryl M R]

Wtf is up over there folks? You guys need a hug? I give good hugs.

Can you spare some democracy?

 

[broncobuster]

Sessions must know he's getting got by the end of May.

 

[Easy_D]

Combined with this statement, you have a very unfortunate user name

Haha. MY name isn't unfortunate, I've used it since 2003. Trump existing is what's unfortunate.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

You fucked up Jim Bob.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I can't take this country serious anymore.

President fires man leading the investigation against the president to install a puppet.

America has gone full Russia/Turkey

"It can't happen here/to us" - a statement never once followed by anything less than it happening here/to us
