No instead it was because of how he treated Clinton during the run up to the election.

Ironbite-I'm flabbergasted by the balls on this man.

Well, he did assure us that there was nothing wrong down there.

But anyway, this whole thing screams, "There's no smoke! And it's not from a fire! That I didn't set!"

...this man just cannot do dictatorship, nor can he conspire very effectively.

Its like someone took the Nazis, excised the few competent people, and replaced them with utter idiocy and immediately obvious evil. They are trying to make rape a pre-existing condition to deny someone health care! They fired someone as soon as they got the inkling that this person had something on Trump!

Not to deny, teeechnically. Just to price you out so you cannot afford it. The people who support this shit will jump all over you for saying that they can deny you. You need to be more precise, or they'll prove you "wrong" and you'll lose support from the undecideds. We need to be as accurate as possible here, cause this shit is fucking important.

...True. Nowadays accuracy is important, all the more because one party has decided they don't care about facts.

One more comment on that. Reminder that 45 is modifying Schumer's name w/ "cryin'" b/c he became emotional when discussing family who perished....in the holocaust.

Russians lied to Trump? Say it ain't so!

Also, considering all the shady stuff related to this guy and the meeting... This is still among the least embarrassing things that could have happened.

Read a vox article on Trump that might just be the scariest thinkpiece on Trump, I've seen. It has a really simple premise.

Quote
Trump is exactly as he appears: a hopeless narcissist with the attention span of a fruit fly, unable to maintain consistent beliefs or commitments from moment to moment, acting on base instinct, entirely situationally, to bolster his terrifyingly fragile ego...

That’s who he is: a disregulated bundle of impulses, being manipulated by a cast of crooks and incompetents.

Trump isn't Hitler, or a Stalin, or a Tricky Dick or a Mad King George for that matter because those guys had beliefs and plans. He certainly isn't a Machiavellian Littlefinger type character.

Trump is an id, a screaming reptile brain with the nuclear codes. He's a big kid who's never been told "no" with the most powerful nation state on the planet at his beck and call.

This describes pretty well why I haven't been as convinced as most seem to be that Comey's firing was a clumsy and panicked attempt to covering Trump's ties to Russia. Don't get me wrong, it still is a good possibility, but Trump with his insecurities and stupidity is so much of a wild card that it is very much conceivable that it was just a short sighted temper tantrum even if there was a reason for him to be worried about the investigation.

(IMO it seems obvious that he has conflicts of interest but how direct the influence of these conflicts is and if the Russians have any serious leverage on him is still unknown. In a sane world this would be enough to force him to be more open about his business ties.)

NATO is trying to Trump proof their meetings so Donald won't get bored by treating him like a small child.
