trump's twetets are like an anvil over my head, just waiting for me to fully wake up to fall

i also had a dream about lowtax and the forums being shut down but we all moved to outside lowtaxes house and he didn't let any of us in

Comey standing watch over drugged out Ashcroft, combined with everything else that has happened convinces me that he thinks of himself as a white knight, upholding the law regardless of politics. Which is endearing if it weren't for the fact that there never was such a thing as apolitical and there sure as gently caress isn't now.

All of the things that are coming to light have mostly raised my estimation of Comey. Yes, he hosed up by assuming Hillary was going to win and writing an rear end-cover letter to people he should have known would leak it.

But he does seem to have redeemed himself with the speed at which this Russia thing is coming down. That trip to the rocket docket was just in time, and I bet he's got the whole thing nicely laid out once the time comes to put his cards on the table.

What's that you say? He's scheduled to testify at a closed Senate Intel session on Tuesday?

Get the gently caress in.

Literally every course of action available to Comey from the minute EMAILS!!!! became a thing, was bad. I think he did the best he could, and his plan was to stay afloat as long as possible while the FBI tried to get us to the mattering.

Unfortunately, he didn't bank on piss baby president being dumb enough to think that firing the FBI director in the middle of an ongoing investigation would have been not such a big deal.

Comey sold out his credibility to save himself from Republican scrutiny in a world where Hilary was elected president and didn't blush about throwing soundbites to Republicans during the FBI investigation, even if the Republicans were too bloodthirsty to appreciate anything short of an indictment. Comey is a weaselly old guard Republican shill who is suddenly surprised when his Faustian bargain to save his hide had unanticipated consequences.

His firing is a travesty, but I don't feel any sympathy for the guy himself or understand why people try to play him up like he's some kind of saint.

So dumb question:

If the FBI is now moving quickly because they are running out of time, isn't that bad? I mean, if they rush, they'll get sloppy. If they get sloppy, that benefits the Trump administration.

I get they're in a lovely position, but still, if you swing at the king and all that.
