It’s actually Hillary who wants war with Russia over Syria and pipeline.

Well, she doesn’t actually “want” it, she is just doing what she’s paid for.

Even Trump’s name is a play on words.

You can’t make this stuff up!

It seems like only yesterday that this genius, awash in Bathos (the new breakfast cereal from General Mills) was granted an interview with a former community organizer/Illinois senator who, at the time, just played golf and lied to America.

GOOD ONE! A++++ xs is busy at work, so I am filling in. I hadn’t thought of that green freak, but she is a perfect choice for this word.

Rush saying Comey will be fired after election.

The FBI has fallen so quickly
Into bathos it would be funny
If Comey hadn’t been paid off
With what was once our money

It likely was our tax dollars
That paid 1st and 2nd bribe-
Run through that laundromat
Owned by the Clinton tribe...

Bought by bribes and threats
Comey just wants to thrive-
He’d better pray Trump wins
If he wants to remain alive...

Comey is going to be professionally hanged, drawn and quartered either way-but if Satan’s mistress has her way, he could end up in Ft. Marcy park like Foster...

Excellent! A++++ Rush says he heard Comey will be fired after the election. I think it sounds likely. Obama must be furious. Hope they don’t get a replacement before Trump picks one. McCabe will get to run things, but he probably does already.

Thank you!

Comey has lost respect and professional standing-now he’s just another dirty cop who got bought-he should be fined an astronomical sum at the very least and if he still maintains his license to practice law, that would be taken from him permanently, too in a sane world...

The sonofabitch better spend as much of that bribe money as possible while he can...

I was really into singing along with Aerosmith as I came up to the jobsite this AM-

“I go crazy, crazy, baby I go crazy
You turn it on-then you’re gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy,
Crazy for you baby-what can I do, honey
I feel like the color blue”...

The electrician was parking right next to me and I felt silly being seen jamming like that-till I heard him doing the same thing to the same tune-we both laughed...

They are saying Valarie Jarret convinced Obama to do it. Won’t happen till after election day.

I think it’s breaking wide open for Trump...seeing signs of disarray on left. Reporters here and there breaking ranks and admitting trouble. We shall see, keep an eye on things.

Good, I think we have reason to be happy, Wednesday we will be singing ding dong the bitch is dead. I refuse to be pessimistic. We can win this.

Doesn’t make sense. He’s already compromised and under their thumb. Firing him would just make Obama/Clinton look bad.
