Someone recently said something like, 'No one has ever died due to a lack of healthcare' I know Rick Santorum said that a while ago, but I think I saw a clip of someone recently trying to tell people at a town hall that same thing, maybe not. Anyway that's a real stupid comment considering.... news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/09/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-to-lack-of-health-coverage/In any case, there aren't too many Republicans showing up at their town halls after passing and flushing that shitty bill off to the Senate. No courage to answer the people for those yes votes, I guess.

Nothing will happen while Republicans control everything. People need to vote Democrat in 2018.

Oct. 31, 2016 — “It took a lot of guts. I really disagreed with him. I was not his fan. But I’ll tell you what he did, he brought back his reputation. He brought it back. He’s got to hang tough because there’s a lot of — a lot of people want him to do the wrong thing. What he did was the right thing,” Trump said
But he's firing Comey several months later because he mishandled the Clinton case? Pull the other one, it has bells on it. Trump would never do anything in favor of "crooked Hillary"
And the word came up from the assistant attorney general who talked to the attorney general, who then recommended Comeys removal. The same attorney general Sessions who recused himself from any involvement in both the Clinton case AND the Russian investigation. Does he understand what recuse means??? I rather believe the decision was from the top down.
'Thank you for coming to my office three times to tell me I wasn't being investigated' WTF? Why is that in a letter of dismissal? Only for Trump to reassert his innocence.
Note that this is the third firing of someone getting closer to investigating the Russian connection. Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, and James Comey.
Comey was already being investigated for his conduct, why not wait for an official decision from that? Trump was trying to make things go away again.
This was a rather abrupt decision, because Comedy wasn't notified by phone or anything. He was in California speaking to FBI agents and found out from the TV.
Trump still believes he's sitting up in his Manhattan tower giving commands to his underlings will do whatever he says. Government is different Even the President has people to answer to.
The people who are doing the actual investigating are still in the FBI, and this does not stop the process at all. It does put the president in deeper question concerning his interference in ongoing investigations.
EDIT - Shortly before Comey was fired a Virginia court issued subpoenas to several principal figures involved in the Russian investigation. Hmm....

I'm on an Amazon Fire tablet so I guess I'd need a couple apps or code to copy an exact tweet from what i looked up, oh well.

One thing I learned at DOJ about Comey: he leaves a protective paper trail whenever he deems something inappropriate happened. Stay tuned.

I don't find it amusing in the least. I guess some might see it as irony in a 2 minute montage.

Yeah, we all hated Comey for putting the final nail in Hillary's campaign coffin but this has nothing to do with that. Trump fired him because he was investigating the Trump-Russia connection. That sets a bad precedent. Imagine if Obama had fired Comey because of Hillary.

If Obama had cause, then there would have been nothing wrong with it, but I'm sure the right-wingers would have started up their usual "ANTICHRIST MUSLIM CONFIRMED" bullshit.
I don't really know much of what is going on because I live in ignorant bliss of things political, but what if Comey is doing something wrong in his investigation, and someone finally put their foot down and said "enough?" It seems like both sides have been calling for his removal for some time, so I'm not sure why it's an issue. On the surface, it's reading like a "AH HA, CROOKED FASCIST HITLER" anger from the left-wingers, which is just as ignorant as the previous-stated cry of the right-wingers. #HorseshoeTheory
Genuine questions - Can't the FBI still continue their investigation? Does firing Comey end the investigation?
