"Comey was also a bumbler. He repeatedly failed to pursue chances to end incidences of Islamic terrorism. He granted Hillary�s aides immunity unnecessarily and allowed evidence to be destroyed. He didn�t investigate Obama's scandals. He was, after all, appointed by Obama.
Let�s hope Trump continues to drain the swamp. Firing Comey is a good first step."

Yes, Comey could have "ended incidences of Islamic terrorism" but chose not to. All he had to do was say those 3 magic words.

This is like the 10th consecutive time big news has happened and Garrison just apes whatever the reaction is at t_d.

Good on him for making sure he makes his base readership happy, I guess.

It strikes me that this paragraph matches up pretty well with the last couple panels of Rall's Ebert cartoon

I stand corrected!

Liking Coca-Cola is far too normal for Trump; I would've figured he'd have some specific grody brand he preferred. Like RC.

RC is for poors :rolleye:

Trump only uses the most popular brand of everything because he (a) has no taste and (b) is obsessed with brand visibility in general. Uses Coke to wash down McDs burgers, etc. If he drank beer it'd be Bud, because they are the best-known brand and therefore the best beer

Comey had no right to decide Clinton�s guilt or innocence. That should have been left to the courts. The evidence against Hillary was overwhelming, and she still needs to be locked up.

So the FBI director has no right to decide Clinton's guilt or innocence, but political cartoonists do. Got it.

I just pulled my information from Wikipedia's list of teetotalers, so take it with a grain of salt, but supposedly. That one surprised me, if only because Lincoln's style seems like it would require some social drinking.
