James Comey: Trump’s Portland Crackdown ‘the Stuff of American Nightmares Since 1776’
Breitbart ^ | July 21 2020 | JOSHUA CAPLAN

Posted on 07/22/2020 12:18:00 AM PDT by knighthawk

Fired FBI director James Comey on Tuesday criticized the Trump administration’s crackdown on ongoing riots in the Democrat-controlled city of Portland, branding it “the stuff of American nightmares since 1776.”

“With some protesters itching for street confrontations with officers in full tactical gear, federal officials are giving a small group of violent people what they want,” Comey wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post. “[T]hey are giving the citizens of Portland — and the rest of us, no matter our politics — what we don’t want: the specter of unconstrained and anonymous force from a central government authority. It has been the stuff of American nightmares since 1776.”

“Is televised conflict the goal?” Comey then asked.

Singing “Still Insane After All These Years”.

And this doucebag was the head of the FBI? The only thing he should have been the head of was the psycho-ward at St. Elizabeth’s, as their top inmate.

So the FBI never relied on undercover officers?

Jimmy, you are the stuff of American nightmares. A crooked official caught red-handed and not only suffering no consequences, but presuming to have an opinion about the man you abused your power and lied about in order to destroy, while he’s defending the federal government that you disgraced. STFU and crawl back under your rock. Pray that you are arrested, before an angry mob in red hats gets tired of waiting endlessly for you to get your just deserts.

This new narrative that Trump is some kind of tyrant destroying civil liberties with his gestapo just makes me want to vomit. Such utter garbage. My blood is boiling.

Let’s face reality. Trump is a beleaguered president, pummeled and scapegoated 24/7 by the media and leftist politicians at the federal, state and local level. He ain’t terrorizing a single person. A bunch of antifa bums spend the better part of two months trying to burn down federal buildings, and a belated, defensive response by the administration is some kind of fascist nightmare? Give me a freakin’ break. The narrative is so ridiculous that I’d be laughing if the whole thing weren’t so evil and twisted.

You know why it’s should be so obvious to anyone with a brain that this a huge pile of s—t? If Trump really were a tyrant or fascist dictator, none of his enemies would be getting away with the garbage that they’re getting away with. The entire mainstream media wouldn’t think they could trash and lie about him with impunity. They’d fear him. Anyone with an eye to see or an ear to hear can see that none of them fear him. That’s the hard truth. It’s analogous to a kid in school who’s the top target of bullying being beaten up daily by the school thugs... and then the thugs pretending that their victim is bullying them.

Comey projecting. Nothing but a political tool. Do you see Gina Haspel on social media? No. Because she’s a professional.

These traitors really like to throw around “patriot sprinkles“ as they support the marxist riots.

No, Mr. Comey, using a law enforcement agency to conduct a jihad against a political enemy is the “stuff of American nightmares”.

Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and the rest of the deep state coup is the stuff of American nightmares. I pray for and cheer for President Trump daily. I do not want to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats who believe they have the right to overthrow the duly-elected President of the Untied States.

Wrong again, Comey. More Americans have nightmares about having their homes burnt down or having themselves or a loved one beaten or killed by an ANTIFA mob than they do about federal law enforcement cracking down on these same mobs.

This Comey guy must be up to his neck in corruption.

Sure does whine like a little girl a lot.

If Comey had been around during the Revolution, he’d be working for King George. This treasonous twat should be in a SuperMax.

Barr is absolutely, utterly and entirely useless. Nothing but a bag pipe playing blow hard.

Pull all federal operations out of Portland and Seattle, and let those cities burn themselves to the ground.
