Hannity was great - and great guests.

I really like Tucker Carlson too but the guests he chooses are such jackasses - I can’t watch the show. There’s this one jack-ass he always invites on - on there again tonight - the bald headed guy.

If somebody knows how to get a message to Tucker please tell him he’s going to sink his own show if he keeps bringing that guy on there.

It’s one thing to have a guest with opposing views but this guy is just repeating stupid talking points so you don’t learn anything - and he bobs his head up and down in the most irritating way.

Put it this way; I’d rather listen to Juan Williams

I think it was a bitter way to hear terrible news. I do regret that it was so sloppily handled. The White House didn’t know Comey was in CA, so they didn’t mean to have it come out in such an insensitive way, but it did.

But, you’re right that big things are going to have to happen to drain that nasty swamp! The brutality of this firing may have inadvertently done more to cause a few snitches in these departments to tremble than had it gone smoothly and perfectly timed.

TRUMP doesn’t give a damn about political consequences, he is going to crush this swamp and squeeze the corruption out, using his own big foot. I LOVE that about him.

He is ripping the mask off the players, exposing the seedy deeds and the increasing corruption that Americans needed to see, up close and personal.

You are right about DC. The people are not running the government, it’s running us! It has to stop and be dismantled because they are not listening until they see pitchforks. Trump IS our pitchfork.

Thanks, *e.

Yep. I’m afraid so.

In my 65 years I’ve seen it happen with all the major events. While they were happening very little agreement, many varied opinions, agendas, points of view. People with something to gain or something to prove, and everyone had an ‘expert’ to back up there side ot the argument.

Then later the events taught as history in the public schools or college. Suddenly everyone agrees it went down the way the leftists said it did.

Comey was in so deep with the enemy and coverups that he ust kept doubling down and Trump had to call his hand and send him home.

I have a feeling Comey knows about a lot of the crimes covered up in Hillarys e-mails, which would make Comey a co-conspirator to the murder of ambassador stevens among other things , Comey probably doesent sleep well

The votes were in place to impeach him - so what? Impeachment doesn’t mean he’s fired. The American people had just reelected him in the biggest landslide in history. The senate can’t undo that - nobody will ever know what would have happened if he had faced the impeachment and hung tough like Clinton did after he got impeached.

Resigning was what sealed his fate - a fate that he did not deserve. It was like pleading guilty to a crime he didn’t commit.

NOT resigning is what allowed Clinton to recover his good reputation - a good reputation that he did not deserve.

Nixon thought his resigning was the best thing for the nation, an extremely honorable sacrifice. But was it really the best thing to let those evil leftists win and let such confusing misinformation be sent down through the ages as ‘history”?

We are still dealing with the same double standard 45 years later as the Democrat politicians routinely commit crimes and are not punished, while the Republicans resign, or are forced to withdraw as candidates, or in some cases serve time in jail - when they did nothing wrong! They simply get hounded out of office.

I don’t blame Nixon for not being as clever as Reagan or as tough as Trump, but I wish he had been.

If Trump can finally break the magic spell the leftists have over the bedazzled media and over all the innocent but gullible people in TV land, he will go down as the greatest president since George Washington.

If Nixon had Trump’s (or Reagan’s) ability to make his enemies look like fools, think of where we might be by now - maybe we wouldn’t have gone so far down the socialist rabbit hole. Maybe the word “Watergate” would be as meaningless as (yawn) “Iran contra”.

You don’t get Trump. Comey at 6’8 is physically imposing. Being in charge of the FBI made him legally imposing. Not following the law made him an extreme bully.

Trump just grabbed his balls and twisted. When he went down Trump did multiple elbows to the face. When he was passed out Trump had people throw him in the dumpster.

Trump just had the trash taken out, nothing less nothing more.

“WOW!!! Good move. Now watch how many Demonrats suddenly discover that they love Comey and that this action is a grave threat to the republic????!!”

Good early call. Suddenly Comey is the biggest BFF the Fraud’s people have.

Even Hitl will stop blaming him — Nope, not that, haha.

For some reason, I keep thinking of Sherrif David Clark and Rudy Giuliani.

Wonder which it will be?

Tim Kaine was interviewed on the news this morning, and looked very deer-in-headlights. Not at all his usual, smirk-y self.
