Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Dumb-Mass) took multiple swipes at the Trump administration during a commencement address Friday, days after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

Warren pivoted to Trump during a speech at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, offering suggestions for specific causes graduates could get more involved in.

"I'm trying to keep this apolitical but I can't help myself ... the principle that no one, no one in this country is above the law and we need a Justice Department, not an obstruction of justice department," Warren said.

Democrats have honed in on Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein - both of whom Warren opposed - in the wake of Comey's firing this week.

Fallout over Comey's firing is the latest controversy swirling around the Trump administration, which Democrats have criticized for months over a string of issues including the president's refusal to place his assets in a blind trust or release his tax returns.

The Democratic senator also knocked Trump while referencing the "Elizabeth Warren commencement speech drinking game," quipping that "fireball is a nickname Donald Trump uses on Twitter, not a beverage to be consumed by distinguished college graduates."

>> the principle that no one, no one in this country is above the law <<

Well, YOU are. Lying on an application and accepting aid fraudulently is certainly illegal as well as immoral.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

How incredibly tacky

[alloysteel]

“No one is above the law” - funny that Pocahontas should mention that.

For ANYONE to be subject to the law, it must first be applied. Otherwise, words on paper do not mean jack.

The Tribe Mother, as much as anybody, has been in on the subversion of the existing code of law.

[Texas Eagle]

Said the pseudo-squaw who lied about her heritage to get preferential treatment into law school and then practiced law without a license.

[Caipirabob]

Mad squaw on warpath again.

[Neoliberalnot]

So what does the Indian have to say about the 20 million illegal aliens.

[Right Brother]

Liawathwa drinkem too much fire water. The result of Comey’s investigation indicated quite clearly that Hillary is “above the law”.

A PSALM for PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP:

PSALM 64 O God, hear my voice when I complain. Keep my life safe from the fear of those who hate me. 2 Hide me from the secret plans of the sinful and from the noise of those who do bad things. 3 They have made their tongues sharp like a sword. They use poison words like arrows. 4 They shoot at the man without blame from their hiding place. They are quick to shoot at him and are not afraid. 5 They talk each other into doing sinful things. They talk about setting hidden traps. They say, “Who will see them?” 6 They think of ways to do bad things, and say, “We have made a perfect plan!” For the inside thoughts and the heart of a man are deep.

7 But God will shoot at them with an arrow. They will be hurt very soon. 8 They will be made to trip and fall. Their own tongue is against them. All who see them will shake their heads. 9 Then all men will be afraid. They will tell about the work of God. And they will think about what He has done. 10 The man who is right and good will be glad in the Lord and go to Him to be safe. All those whose hearts are right will give Him praise.

[SERKIT]

Bill and Hillary made arguably successful careers in acting way above the law. Hillary is now a successful dogwalker in Chappaqua. Bill is still a grifting paid orator with the skills of “The Music Man” with an STD.

>>we need a Justice Department, not an obstruction of justice department

This would be funny, but it really makes me realize that we cannot coexist with these people. The Holder/Lynch Dept of Just-Us is the best example of an obstruction of justice department.

” University of Massachusetts Amherst”

This is an important place to her people. A place where her people helped the Pilgrims and welcomed them into their lands, homes and genetics.

Wait, is that right ?

If this dingbat was anymore confused she would evanesce into dust.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Nobody except Democrats are exempt from the law is what she meant.

[fedupjohn]

Zakeet, this is too funny, you need to put this our our Facebook Group Page.

Thanks for the laugh.

[tiki]

I’m glad she realizes that so she won’t be shocked and surprised when her friends and colleagues are tried and imprisoned.

Talk about a “D” list political speaker...

Was PeeWee Herman unavailable?

[Col Frank Slade]

Except Hillary.

[Mears]

All of the people who have entered the country illegally seem to be “above the law”.

No one is above the law,,,,except the Clintons.
