He has the attention span of a puppy. Seems like he's dealing with fallout from all angles that NK has been pushed to the back burner. Hopefully he doesn't reach the conclusion that pushing the big red button will distract any treasonous activities.

Had to laugh at this headline;

No 'income of any type from Russian sources,' Trump lawyer says — except for all that income from Russian sources

http://www.sltrib.com/home/5283493-1...-any-type-from

No income from Russia - with some exceptions. How does that not equal income from Russia?

If there are no links, open everything up. There are confirmed links in his higher ups that he fires and distances himself from when the media uncover them. Stonewalling makes you appear guilty, even if you're not. Surely Trump at this point has at least enough intelligence to realise the Trump-Russia story is not going to go away until he either co-operates or gets busted?

Comey's temporary replacement has not let up. It'll be interesting to see whether he gets fired or a Trump stooged replacement is inserted very quickly.

If the rumours are true, Trump asked for Comey's loyalty a number of times and Comey intimated that he would be fair and non-partisan - as you would expect the head of the FBI to be.

Trump is known to record meetings. I bet there are tapes. I'd love for him to release those tapes as I'm inclined to believe Comey's version of events. Trump has put himself in another lose/lose situation with a thinly veiled threat that he could never back up. But as long as his base reads the spin on Fox news, they'll eat it up.

Comey came across as a clown. But there's always a bigger clown.

The director of the FBI should always be loyal to the nation and the Constitution. The president should be an officer of the Constitution, not a dictator. Personal loyalty oaths have no business in any branch of the US federal government. Loyalty is supposed to be to the people.

There's so many bad news stories coming out of the US daily now I'm having trouble deciding what I should look at next.

It has failed miserably since it was instigated. The clown wants harsher penalties for pot! At this point, you're just labelling any moronic thing that comes out of the White House as a win.

At least be a little discerning..

Not at all, I find it humorous how Fox try to spin things - they wouldn't want to lose their most important viewer! Great light entertainment.

That's how you obtain your news, from a comedy channel.

Him, Kimmel, and Colbert (and more) are nothing but a pack of whining beta cucks - they do it for ratings because that's all they can do, and the useless Lambs interpret what they say as facts and follow them blindly.

No, that's what I watch for light entertainment. Cucks? Now I know which sub in Reddit you spend the majority of your day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w4eU2k9r3M

I have the ability to listen to Trump in non-consecutive days and determine two statements he has said are in contradiction. Some people call one or both of those statements a lie. Reasons for Comey's firing is one such event.

There are other (admittedly speculative) sources that have ties to the intelligence community. So far, they're been days and some times weeks ahead of the mainstream media on confirmed information. That's what I mainly listen to.

Though, comedy shows rate significantly higher in my opinion than Fox news, who don't even try to hide their bias. If it's done by a Democrat. That's bad. If it's done by a Republican, that's brilliant! Even in light of the tidal wave of crap coming down on Donald for the timing of his firing of Comey, Fox News, right there in his corner. Thanks Murdoch.

Looks like end-game starting. Press turning.

Trump must be impeached. Here’s why.

The time has come for Congress to launch an impeachment investigation of President Trump for obstruction of justice.

The remedy of impeachment was designed to create a last-resort mechanism for preserving our constitutional system. It operates by removing executive-branch officials who have so abused power through what the framers called “high crimes and misdemeanors” that they cannot be trusted to continue in office.

Now the country is faced with a president whose conduct strongly suggests that he poses a danger to our system of government.

Here's something that sort of explains Donald's bizarre behaviour and his inability to ever get anything done, like the wall. There's so many traits that you can tick off here - it's scary.

It's a race to get someone 'loyal' to him in the FBI to try and stop the avalanche that will engulf him, at least in his eyes. The stand-in appears to be another white hat so the firing of Comey was but a speedbump in the investigation.

If the RICO Grand Jury rumour it true, his only hope of avoiding jail time is to be innocent - which is about as unlikely as me being the next President.

What I'll find fascinating about his whole overseas trip is if he returns to America. If he knows the sharks are circling, he may beeline to Russia!

The Dutch are chiming in with a Documentary.. about Trump's ties to Russian oligarchy and mobsters. I'm almost a big enough cuck to watch it.

Word on the street is that Trey Gowdy has said ''Yes'' to Trumps offer to be in contention as a new director of the FBI. Surely the Democrats won't let him pass the Senate, too many heads will roll.

Gowdy talking about Comey:

If all is true and Trump picks him and he somehow manages to get a pass, these will be my hands after doing cartwheels to the Pub!

Interesting if true. Been hearing this one for most of today, normally takes longer for it to hit any sort of mainstream media.

"Donald Trump Indictment: Sealed Indictment Reportedly Issued Against Trump, Will Become Basis For Impeachment"

Original I read this morning;

https://patribotics.blog/2017/05/14/...-donald-trump/

Being reported in media using the above source;

http://www.inquisitr.com/4217064/don...r-impeachment/

Been following a few ex-Govt officials on twitter and several of them have confirmed through their intelligence sources that are independent from each other so they appear to corroborate the story. They've also been correct in reporting other 'breaking' news well before the media including, most recently, the two convened grand juries (with a possible 3rd RICO which is unconfirmed) and the FBI raid conducted on Friday.

What causes me pause is the post on that site prior to this one that appears a little too far fetched. That info wasn't corroborated by a few of the other sources that I follow.

NBC/WSJ Poll: Just 29 Percent Approve of Trump’s Firing of James Comey

Just 29 percent of Americans say they approve of President Donald Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, while 38 percent disapprove, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Another 32 percent of respondents don't have enough to say on the matter.

Trump's job-approval rating stands at 39 percent, which is one point lower than last month's NBC/WSJ survey — well within the poll's margin of error.

Thirty-eight percent of Americans hold a positive view of the president, while 52 percent have a negative opinion — again mostly unchanged from last month's 39 percent positive/50 percent negative score. (By comparison, the FBI has a 52 percent positive/16 percent negative score in the new poll, and Comey's is 18 percent positive/26 percent negative.)
