Of course, this is all fake news! All part of the witch hunt against
Trump! The real facts are that he's doing exceptionally well as
president, his approval rating is well over 50%, and all the
charges against him regarding Russian collusion with his
election campaign, his effort to coerce Comey to drop the Flynn
investigation are false! Poor guy just can't get a break!

I'm dismayed to see that you still believe in this idiot.

He doesn't.

He just lacks the personal integrity to admit it.

Careful John. The wingnuts are so stupid that they don't recognize
sarcasm.

[B...@onramp.net]

Yep. Good news.

And it's going to be a little hard for the wingnuts to blame any
conclusions reached on partisan bias when the guy leading the
investigation was hired by Dubya as FBI Director.

And he was good enough at his job that Obama asked him to extend his
term for two years.

Yep...good news. The facts need to be revealed and the leakers prosecuted.
If Trump colluded, then I will look forward to the Pence administration.

And you'll insist that he was completely uninvolved with the collusion...

And Comey didn't have a "white hat", did he?

That's not what the Republicans said about him earlier.

I'm speaking of BEFORE that, doofus.

When they had no reason to speak out of partisanship, they praised Comey
to the moon.

And yes: I have the quotes if you insist.

Or he just acted with integrity and regard for the best traditions of
his job.

As stupid as you prove yourself to be daily you have a lot of nerve
calling anyone that.

No, but it's memorable that you use the term any time you don't have
anything concrete to further your personal agenda.

[John B.]

I don't remember that, either. Fake news consists of things like the
report that Hillary Clinton and others were running a child prostitution
ring out of a pizza restaurant in DC. Or that Obama was born in Kenya.
Or that Michelle Obama is a transsexual. Those were fake news stories.
Some have broadened the term to describe any news report they don't
like.

Or that Comey was fired because he requested more resources..
Or that MLK bust was removed from the Oval Office...

Forgot this one....

President Trump invited the Pope for lunch on his mega yacht, the Pope accepted and during lunch, a puff of wind blew the Pontiff's hat off, right into the water.
It floated off about 50 feet, then the wind died down and it just floated in place.
The crew and the secret service were scrambling to launch a boat to go get it, when Trump waved them off, saying "Never mind, boys, I'll get it."
The Donald climbed over the side of the yacht, walked on the water to the hat, picked it up, walked back on the water, climbed into the yacht, and handed the Pope his hat.
The crew was speechless. The security team and the Pope's entourage were speechless.
No one knew what to say, not even the Pope.
But that afternoon, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN reported:
"TRUMP CAN'T SWIM"

You imagine that any politician has seen all the evidence in an ongoing
investigation, doofus.

And I notice one again the complete absence of any quote or link.

Show the testimony you claim does that...

[John B.]

No one stated as fact that Comey was fired for that reason. The story
about the MLK bust was a mistake, which was corrected and for which
the reporter apologized.
