Come Heller high water …
- Another week, another ridiculous amount of Trump nonsense to write about. I should be happy, right? He’s fantastic column fodder. But now the consistency of his “I’m not Nixon, I just act like him, on steroids” buffoonery is just depressing. This is not a man to lead a taco truck much less a man to run the country. And we elected him. Sometimes I can’t believe that. We. Elected. Him.

Forget his tendency to react like a 2-year-old. What worries me is he doesn’t seem very bright. Take the firing of Comey. It never occurred to him that it might look a little funny to fire the head of the agency investigating him? That’s stunningly stupid. Seriously, you or I could have figured that one out. And he’s the president.- And then he writes a ham-handed letter saying “While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation …” Which is pretty much like telling everyone “This is about me being REALLY worried about the investigation that I’m not (wink, wink) under.” Hard to crack that code, Donald.
- And don’t take this as a defense of Comey, like the conservative meme going around says. Over a photo of Forrest Gump it says “And just like that, the same folks who was hating James Comey last year started defending him when the president fired him for the same things they once hated him about.”
- Oh, hysterical. Only – and I guess I’ll speak for everyone who didn’t vote for Trump – “We don’t give a damn about Comey.” Why should we? The bastard helped stick us with Trump. The reason people are mad about it is because, from all appearances, Trump is trying to influence or quash an investigation of his ties to Russia. Which, damn the consequences or the party involved, should be of huge concern to all Americans, not just the ones who would have voted for a KFC Naked Chicken Chalupa before voting for Trump.
- The Naked Chicken Chalupa is that abomination where they fold fried chicken into a taco shell. Then dip the shell in lard. Then wrap the lard in cheese. Then the cheese in some whale blubber. And then they serve it with an appointment card for a heart stent.
- And in retrospect, I’d still choose one of those over Trump.
- But, seriously, why is this partisan? Why are my conservative friends fiercely saying there’s nothing to the Russian investigation when we don’t know that yet? That’s the whole point of investigating, isn’t it? And this is a Republican Congress investigating. And the FBI (until yesterday) was led by a guy who helped get Trump elected. So why get defensive about it? Conservatives are the ones who are always saying they’re the patriotic ones. Well, what does patriotism mean? It means being loyal to your country, and anything that damages that country is a bad thing, right? So are conservatives being unpatriotic for saying we shouldn’t get to the bottom of the Russian connection? Why, yes they are. I’m not sure how they live with that. But they do. And they do so (oddly enough) proudly.
- “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country” – Teddy Roosevelt

Bravo!
Well said. Very fitting quote from TR.
I could not resist in providing this link. It is too funny.
Ha! Exactly. Love that clip.
The whole paragraph about the Naked Chicken Chalupa is hilarious!
I love the part where you said that it is served with an appointment card for a heart stent! Can’t stop laughing!
Great column.
Hmm, connect the dots….fire the acting attorney general…..fire FBI director……meet with Russian
diplomat in private….. me thinks me smells a skunk and his name is Trump.
Boom!! Boom!! Do I hear liberal heads exploding? Yep, over and over! I’m loving it more very day. Keep going for it, President Trump, how I love saying President Trump, that’s why you were elected!
Your superior intelligence just oozes off you.
Back atcha. Freddie
Conservatives are the ones who are always saying “their” patriotic…you’ve got a auto correct error there!
Fixed. Thanks!
Trump’s antics are giving the country a mental breakdown. Pharmaceutical stocks must be soaring. I’ve read psychologists appointments are way up.
Where a good military coup when you need one? Sarcasm but really I never thought the Republic was so vulnerable. This visit from the Russian today felt like a giant FU America.
Sing this with me if you know the tune:
It’s Springtime for Donald
And for Russia too…!
Maybe watch the great play or the movie of “The Producers.” It is about a phony-baloney old guy who tries to make money with lies and foolishness. Is it about the Trump Administration? No, but Yes.
It is not about Trump, because it is fun and funny. But it IS about Trump because it is the story of an idiotTom who gets trapped in his own lying scheme.
Cheers to President Pense!
I left a typo in this post, but I hope the intent is clear. The idiot in “The Producers” is not named Tom.
I see that uncreative copy/paste liberal hacks everywhere are still trying to push their “Russia hacked the election” lies. Keep it up – It just makes Republican victories come easier.
People are sick of the liberal lies. Cry yourselves to sleep over the low ratings for all of your fake news networks.
trump won. Yet, you are still so angry. You keep trying to convince yourself that you are right, but deep down you know you are wrong. A man wrestlibg with his conscience everyday is destined to always be a very bitter man.
Trump lost by 2.7 million votes.
Let me rephrase “trump is President of the United States, but he is still miserable.”
Na na na na
Na na na na
James Comey……
Good…. Bye…..
Everybody wonders about the timing for Trump firing Mr. Comey… Well, it turns out Comey was scheduled to testify to the US Senate today. Could that have ANYTHING to do with the fact that Trump fired him yesterday??????
trump says Comey told him “3 times” that he is not under investigation. I want the Senate Committee to ask Comey if that is true. We all know the answer. Well except the deniers of reality.
It’s already been said, but it fits, so I’m going to say it again.
Bravo, Andy!
Ditto! Yes, the “not very bright” is yet another huge red flag in an ever-increasing list of concerns.
Mr. Trump is skating on very thin ice right now.
You have just got to be amazed at democrats. One moment they are screaming for Comey’s head on a platter over his investigation of hilliary clinton and the next over President trump’s ill timed firing of Comey. I think that Trump should have waited a little while longer before firing Comey.
Have we really been given the real reason for President Trump to fire Comey?
I do not think so. He bungled the hilliary clinton investigation by stating that hilliary had put classified information and emails on her easily hacked private computer. Then Comey suggested that hilliary should not be prosecuted.
It is not the job of the head of the FBI to decide if someone should be prosecuted or not, it is the task of the Attorney General.
Having a security clearances while in the army, if anyone (no matter what branch) in the military had done what hilliary had done they would eventually end up in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
All the major news outlets (abc, cbs, nbc and other libreal news outlets) are pushing the story as hard as they can. They are determined to punish President Trump and the republicans for rejecting her royal highness hilliary clinton. Every one of thinks that if hilliary had been elected that AGW would be reversed, that solar energy would work all the time (even at night) and that power windmills would not be killing endangered species of birds.
No matter what President Trump does the liberal media will still dream up reasons to hate him.
When liberals stop calling for this country to become a democracy and return to what the founding fathers meant it to be a REPUBLIC.
Maybe I might believe that they have this country’s and citizens best interest at heart.
