She’s probably having seizures trying to figure out what her stance should be on Comey’s firing.
++++
I’m guessing she will stick with the party line. Glad to see Comey go. Don’t believe it had anything to do with her email scandal. All about squelching the Russian Collusion Investigation.

I posted this yesterday morning. All from the Compost. And I probably missed some. God only knows how many dozens more of these bitter, butthurt, irrational lies and BS screechings they've added since then.

 

 

Aftershocks of Comey firing roil Capitol Hill

Senate Democrats respond to ouster with slowdown of business

Comey sought more money for FBI’s Russia probe days before he was fired, officials say

White House staff scrambled to explain the bombshell news

The Comey firing is already backfiring on Trump. It’s only going to get worse.

‘Was he fired? You’re kidding!’ Russia’s foreign minister feigns surprise when asked about Comey.

In the wake of Trump’s brazen power play, it’s time to go nuclear

I worked with the FBI as a federal prosecutor. Trump is threatening the bureau’s independence.

Comey’s removal sparks fears about future of Russia probe

Comey timeline: Key events that led up to his firing

Kaine: 'This is a very dark day for the country'

Trump praised Comey in October, then fired him Tuesday for that very conduct

Trump: Comey fired because he 'wasn't doing a good job'

3 officials who were fired while investigating Trump

Schumer calls Comey's firing part of a 'troubling pattern'

Trump has given every reason for us to believe he fired Comey over the Russia investigation

Trump watches as senators criticize him on TV for firing Comey. He hits back with mocking taunts

Firing Comey was legal. That doesn’t mean it was a good idea.

I flashback to "Good job, Brownie!" followed by termination of Brownie, with NO similar objection from the press.

Side note:

Michael Browns radio show in Denver is some of the best talk radio on the air (except for his bumper music).

How about - “I can if I want. I’m the boss.’

Exactly what I was thinking. He owes the hostile MSM no explanation whatsoever.

"1. That Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein initiated Comey's firing.

2. That it was because of the Clinton email investigation, not Russia.

3. That Trump lost confidence in Comey on Election Day. Either Trump lost confidence in Comey months ago, or he still had it last week. The White House can't have it both ways.

Regarding #1: I read Rosenstein's letter, and he laid out the case for firing Comey, saying that public confidence in the FBI could not be restored if Comey remained as director. The Post is playing with words: Rosenstein did not "initiate" the firing because he did not have the authority to do so. The decision was Trump's.

Regarding #2: Rosenstein's memo was primarily based on Comey's handling of the Clinton email case. Russia was not mentioned.

Regarding #3: Trump cannot change his mind about Comey, but the Democrats, the Washington Post, and the New York Times CAN change their minds? Got it: THEY can have it both ways, but Trump can't.

These Washington Post liberals think that the reasons the White House gave for firing Comey needs to meet with their approval or there is something wrong with it?

When I see Washington Post, I think of liberal propaganda and democRATS fake news.

No wonder no one pays attention to them anymore.

As I pointed out in numerous threads yesterday, the contrived hoopla over the Comey firing is an effort to denigrate the President's image, at a time when his image may be our most powerful weapon, overseas, in keeping America safe.

In a month, Donald Trump has achieved greater credibility for America in dealing with North Korea than his three predecessors, between them, ever managed in 24 years! Just look at the cooperation he is now getting from China.

Do we really want to let the forked tongues in the media and in the face of Senators Schumer & Durbin, abort Donald Trump's achievements, by making him look weak in Asia?

I am understating the outrage that every American conscious of what is going on, must feel today at this stupid but deliberate effort to undermine the American future.

That's not how I remember it; the press skewered Bush for the "Good job, Brownie" comment.

The media, talking heads and radio show hosts are full of hot air...they pushed, wrote stories all the while through out the Campaign, and they knew Hillary didn't stand a chance in hell of winning, yet they are ‘the arm of the libs’ and wrote and did polls and wrote and did poll, yakked on T.V. and radio every second day and night about how she was the ONLY ONE TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE...

On election night, they stalled to post the numbers, they lied and stalled some more...they just knew that something was going to happen, and it did...

Donald J. Trump is now the 45th President of the United States of America...

As we have been told, many times so it must not be fake news, Hillary threw things, swore, stomped her feet, called people horrid names, and her campaign manager, NOT HER came out to deliver the news that she would talk ‘tomorrow’ ... and as they all told us many times since then, so it must not be fake news, she had to be sedated...

And yet, the media, the talking heads and the radio show hosts keep on going with this ‘fake news’ of Russia/Trump won the election...

There isn't one drop of truth in it, McCain paid some guy in Canada to go and pick up a ‘fake’ dossier to bring to Comey to prove that Trump/Russia had dealings...a ‘wet the bed story’ probably something that McCain dreams about doing...

The ONLY President to have anything to do with Russia is FORMER Bill Clinton and FORMER Sect. of State Hillary Clinton selling American Uranium to Russia for a price...and what a price it was!!!

You see, if you sit back and read these stories, you know who pushed them to the media, the talking heads and radio show hosts, the CLINTONS themselves and their ilk, it's what THEY do, Bill Clinton and his sexual abuses and rapes (Trump stories about affairs, and women coming forward with Gloria Alred and Billy Bush); Russia: Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton on the Uranium; the fake dossier with prostitutes and in Russia, Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein and the Island; ...

All this is what THEY have done, and are doing...she had good reason to lose this election and anything else she might run for: She's a looser and always has been and always will be, she's foul: “make sure she takes a bath and doesn't smell like sour cabbage and urine” her own Campaign manager said that...

She is into ‘child trafficking’ remember the deal with Haiti and her trying to get children out of the country??? They were not there to ‘help’ those people, they were there to ‘child traffic’ and help themselves to millions of dollars, which they did...if you need proof of this, I will send it to you...

John Posdesta is a child trafficker himself along with his brother, we have seen the information on all of that, I don't care who tries to cover it up, it's there for the world to see, and a lot of people have seen it, have lived it and are living it...going back to the ‘island’ that Katie Couric, Hillary and Bill Clinton visit often, where do those children come from? Out of thin air...don't think so...

And then there is the voter fraud part of the Clintons and their ilk, how many boxes of votes did they find in a trunk of a car over Al Franken??? He would not have won if those had been counted, how many millions of votes did O have? Nobody voted for him his second term, so they say, well how did he get into office??? He just flew there???

She actually thought she was going to be the First Female President, how silly and childish is she? Knowing ALL we know about her and she really thought that??? If anyone can define ‘mental illness’ it should be Hillary Rotten Clinton, the Benghazi Butcher, the Vince Foster Killer, oh and don't forget the night of the debate...Bill Clinton must have a machine as a heart, any other man with a look on his face like that seeing the women he had raped and abused walk out...do you know you could have made it through that without a stroke??? I know of not many men that are that strong...

I wonder how many tweets Hitlery Rosenberg Clintoon has started to type but never sent.

LOL! Hillary may have been under the influence and Huma probably turned off her computer. ? LOL.

Hillary will never win a Twitter war with our president. ;)

She's probably having seizures trying to figure out what her stance should be on Comey's firing.

Now THAT is so funny! She cannot possibly figure out what to say here. Guess we won't be hearing from her until the excitement dies down....

When I see "Washington Post," I think hate driven pseudo-intellectual poseurs who seek to destroy what remains of the heritage of our Founding Fathers; addle-brained charlatans, who in their opinionated stupidity would sabotage our future.

They are beyond contempt; utterly indefensible both in their lack of ethical journalism; in their lack of actual comprehension of the issues about which they scribble & prattle; and in their all-consuming fanaticism.

-- ... the press skewered Bush for the "Good job, Brownie" comment. --

And that is the same as implying Trump is a liar for allowing Spicer to report "full confidence"? The press objection to Bush's remark was remarkably different, compared to its present objection to Trump's remark..

The ill-timed praise of a now disgraced agency head became a national punch line for countless jokes and pointed comments about the administration's handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and added to the president's reputation for verbal gaffes and clumsy turns of phrase.

Excellent. I harvested and spread several Home Depot buckets of compost for my wife's tomatoe plants's new homes in her her horse trough planters. There is so much BS in the Compost, you would only have to compost it for a few days before using it.
