The Comey affair; lies and reality pass like trains in the night

Fired FBI Director Comey is obviously in trouble. Cry for him. He’ll have to go on food stamps and welfare now, won’t he? Will he be able to collect Social Security? He’s too young! He needs crowdfunding. Send canned food.

The media are portraying Trump firing Comey as “breathtaking,” “stunning,” “shocking.” They’re saying this is how Washington is reacting.

If you live in Washington, try to find somebody who is really sucking air and trying to breathe. Find somebody who is leaning against a wall because he’s stunned. Find somebody whose eyes are rolling up inside his head from the shock.

It’s all made up. It’s all hyped.

Washington politicians may be pretending shock and amazement for the cameras, but that’s about it.

And if you travel outside Washington, most people don’t care about Comey. People are fired from their jobs all the time. People are let go for many reasons. People who can’t afford to be unemployed. Comey, on the other hand, is thinking about a book deal. He might be planning a vacation. He might be talking to Obama about doing some elite “community organizing.” He’ll be fielding offers to sit on corporate boards. His biggest worry: “Do I go on the talk shows right away or do I wait?”

It is incredible and instructive to watch the fake media churn out fake stories and hand wringing editorials on the Comey affair.

The dem reaction can best be described as, "Comey has to go unless Trump fires him." They are displaying hypocrisy of the highest rank.

What the fake media don't understand is that the average American could not care less about who leads the FBI, as long as they are not corrupt. Comey and his soon to be gone deputy were extremely corrupt. No amount of fake media drum beating is going to get people to care.

Great article, thanks for posting.

One thing I haven’t seen anyone mention is the sheer triteness of his “goodbye letter” to the FBI. It leads one to believe he leaves no one he cares about behind, its simplistic, almost childish. There’s no humanity to it. It says nothing and for as short as it is, it’s padded. He’s a poor writer. I think it says a lot about about the man. He’s really not very smart. Read it again for yourself:

“I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence. What makes leaving the FBI hard is the nature and quality of its people, who together make it that rock for America.”

“It is very hard to leave a group of people who are committed only to doing the right thing. My hope is that you will continue to live our values and the mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution. If you do that, you too will be sad when you leave, and the American people will be safer.”

Will the political “BS” ever end so Trump can get on with being the POTUS? Probably not but it is well past time that it does. The he said/she said, innuendos, the lies, the leaks, the phony press stories, the protests, the absolutely idiotic things people say, etc. do NOTHING to improve our country and position in the world. When will the people of this country grow up?

No matter how incompetent or corrupt you are in DC, it is impossible to get fired.

You’re right. He’s a greedy dumbsh8t and he chose evil over good. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had visited a certain island, either.
