Democrats should GTFO of these institutions because when socialists feel power they end up unleashing the devil's wrath on EVERYONE and f___ that sh*t, we've seen it before.
It sounds like there were internal problems going on. There must be a coherent reason for his firing and we all know Donald Trump doesn't think twice. He is a man of action.

watch the video:

Doesn't sound like he loved Comey back then at all. In fact, he hated him for the Clinton email debacle. He hated him back then, and only tolerated him for the last 3 months. Liberals hated him, Republicans hated him. Undecideds hated him. I wouldn't doubt that he wanted to fire him from the beginning, but I'm sure he had his reason for not doing so, especially with a Presidency to kick off. He had better things to do than pile up more drama.
Fact is, it doesn't matter WHEN he fired Comey, he would have gotten backlash anyways. Day 1, today, or last day of Presidency.

You watched that video, and read the article (Titled, "Trump praises Comey")and came away with the impression he disliked him? Seriously?

Guess you missed that part? He bashed Comey for months before this statement. I didn't read the article and take what it said as fact because I knew they only took the one little snippet of "It took guts" and turned it into full-on "praise" of Comey. I listened to HIS words that came directly out of his mouth and the context. Way to fall for the political nonsense in the article. You're the reason why people read articles about him and easily get misled.
I also said, "watch the video". I didn't say read the fake-news article it was hosted on. Der?

Trump: "I really disagreed with him. I was not his fan. It took guts......"

You want to talk about context? Trump disliked Comey when he refused to file charges against Hillary. As soon as he said he was reopening the case, he loved him. He then disliked him again (and fired him) when he started investigating Russia's involvement in the election. ALL of the video clips from the several speeches he made at that time include statements by Trump saying how great Comey is and what a great job he was doing because he reopened the case. But hey, guess you missed all of those several parts.

Trump had a show where he fired people. Everyone knows it. All of the sudden everyone's SO surprised that he fired someone?
What the hell.
The CNN has become TMZ.

Firing Comey was the right decision. It may or may not have been done for the right reasons, but I do not think this will reduce pressure from the investigation of Trump.

They're calling it an unconstitutional firing like it's not 100% his prerogative. Even COMEY said it was the POTUS' prerogative to fire him "for any reason or for no reason". In no way will it decrease the amount of handwaving about butrussia from the Democrats.

And now another accusation by the dems for spilling secret information, and if were true, would not be illegal.
All I gotta say is, these constant petty attacks are getting old and just plain embarrassing for our country.

Now theres all kinds of commotion about Trump giving classified info to Russia

If this guy lasts all 4 years, I'll be very surprised. At the rate he's going, he'll be gone before he's in office for 1 year. Too many problems are going on in the white house that cant be shoved under a rug.
