Trump fires Comey

Just recalling all the times The Truth has turned out to be a bucket of hogwash.
What the heck is hogwash anyhow? Do you put something in the water you use to wash the hogs, or is it what you got after you wash the hogs? If so, why collect it in buckets?
These are the deep questions.
Careful. You are so getting perilously close to revealing the formulation of McDonalds secret sauce.
Big mistake.
BIG mistake.
Trump’s explanation for firing Comey crumbles
WASHINGTON—A series of revelations has undercut Donald Trump’s implausible explanation for his firing of FBI Director James Comey, suggesting the president was more interested in ridding himself of the person investigating his campaign’s ties to Russia than standing up for government policy.
The cascade of Wednesday media stories heightened the furor that threatens to derail Trump’s agenda, his credibility and the U.S. government as a whole. And his problems deepened further when the Senate Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena to his fired former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, for Russia-related documents.
Trump’s team belatedly scrambled to try to contain the fallout from Tuesday’s stunning termination that some of them said they did not expect to cause such an uproar. Their unpreparedness embarrassingly evident on Tuesday night — press secretary Sean Spicer had resorted to hiding in bushes to try to avoid reporters — one aide told Politico on Wednesday that the situation was “total and complete chaos, even by our standards.”
Trump fought for control of the narrative in his usual way. As Democrats and historians warned in lofty tones that the president was threatening the very rule of law, Trump responded with a volley of furious tweets about “phoney hypocrites” and “fake news.”
The news was bad for him.
In the most noteworthy of the revelations, the New York Times, Washington Post and others reported Wednesday morning that Comey had requested additional resources for the Russia investigation just last week. The Times reported later that Trump was angry about that investigation and “enraged” by Comey’s testimony about him last week in Congress.
That wasn’t all. The McClatchy news service reported that Trump himself had requested the supposedly independent Department of Justice memo on which the ouster was supposedly based. And CNN anchor Jake Tapper cited a “source close to Comey” as saying he was dismissed because he would not pledge personal loyalty to Trump and because the Russia probe was “accelerating.”

I'm amused by intolerance, hate, and bigotry regardless of the slobbering, shrieking victim of the moment.
The sky is still intact and in the same place!
I think you are way off the mark. Do evil people try to get more jobs for their fellow people, do evil people try to rid the country of criminals and drug pushers?
Has anyone considered that perhaps Comey needed firing?
I was disappointed in the way Trump sacked Comey. I accept that every Chief Executive brings his own people into key administrative roles, but, Trump's means and letter firing Comey seemed especially cruel. There's no point in twisting the blade once its been inserted in someone's back.
It's more professional to be cordial, couch things in generic terms of 'philosophical differences, new directions, fresh starts'. Meet with him personally, thank him for his service and wish him well, and let the press make of it what they will.
Use it as platform for a public rant and to make bitter personal aspersions and you'll cast yourself as defensive, angry and unstable. But the art of leaving things unsaid is never going to a strong point with Trump. But this particular event lacked Class.

Firing the person in charge of investigating your own actions for wrongdoing will NEVER come across well.
But that's the way Trump rolls, and you lap it up like a cheap pornstar with they money shot.

What wrong doings?
The accusations that the Democrats (up until Tuesday) have said there is no evidence of?
Dianne Feinstein & Joe Manchin admit: No evidence of Trump/Russia collusion

Of course. But that is not the issue. It is HOW IT WAS DONE. There are professional ways of doing this and boorish ,bullyish ways as Trump demonstrates in his actions. This was just crass , and cruel.
Personalty I thought he should have been fired when he badly mishandled the Hillary situation But Trump was very happy with that conduct........because it SUITED TRUMP. He cannot handle any feedback or criticism and when it comes his way...he over reacts and operates with prejudicial judgement, Just look at his immature and over reactive twitter storms.
