Stay classy, Trump. The version I heard was Comey was speaking to FBI recruits/trainees with the TV on behind him, when the news was announced. ---

OK, for all those mooks who keep saying we should “give Trump a chance”, have we given him enough of a chance yet? I’m not much for penning angry letters to elected officials, but if an independent prosecutor isn’t appointed within the next week or two, guess I’m gonna start a writin’. ---

The amazing thing to me is that there are people, who aren’t being paid by Trump, who are still defending his actions. I marvel that we were ever able to rub two sticks together and create fire with that kind of dazzling intellect ambulating about the planet and pissing all over everything.
