He's practicing to take Sammy's place on the injury list in case Sammy leaves after this season.

It's being reported that Comey recorded the memo and shared it with FBI associates. We'll find out next week when he testifies.

The number of voters that believed his idiocy was underestimated. There was a belief that most voters were smarter. Again, the media were complicit in putting ratings ahead of responsible reporting by giving him a free platform.

KIEV, Ukraine A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Theres two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016 exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthys assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html

"As the nations envoy to the United Nations, her public comments on foreign policy issues generally are assumed to be statements of U.S. policy."

The deputy AG who appointed him should update his resume in preparation for the next Trump temper tantrum.

Trump's undisciplined style attracted viewers who wanted to see what outrageous thing he said next. Ratings over responsible reporting.

Neither's speeches were televised by the candidates. They both gave speeches; the media choose to televise Trump's whenever he gave them, helping his campaign get his message out. They didn't do the same with Clinton whenever she gave a speech. Thus the free publicity for Trump, and again, showing they didn't give Clinton preferential treatment. Just the opposite.

On the heels of Trump giving the Russians top secret information comes another foreign policy gaffe from the gang who can't shoot straight: WASHINGTON (AP) — Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump’s U.N. ambassador, waded into a diplomatic minefield on Wednesday by asserting that the Western Wall is part of Israel, a deviation from U.S. policy. The longstanding U.S. stance is that the site is in Jerusalem, full stop. That distinction — Jerusalem, not Israel — reflects the U.S. position that the city’s fate is an issue for Israelis and Palestinians to work out through future peace negotiations. Haley’s comments attracted particular attention because they came in the wake of a diplomatic dust-up between American and Israeli officials over planning for President Donald Trump’s trip next week to Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jerusalem. Israel complained that a U.S. representative rejected allowing Israel’s prime minister to join Trump for a visit to the Western Wall because it isn’t in Israeli territory. The White House disputed the account. The wall is in the Old City, a part of east Jerusalem, which the U.S. and most of the world consider to be occupied territory. A look at what Haley said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network airing Wednesday: HALEY: “I don’t know what the policy of the administration is, but I believe the Western Wall is part of Israel and I think that that is how, you know, we’ve always seen it and that’s how we should pursue it.” She said she wasn’t sure what happened in the dispute over Trump’s trip, adding: “I know that they’re trying to fix it and get that taken care of, but we’ve always thought the Western Wall was part of Israel.” THE FACTS: Haley initially appeared to be voicing her personal view about the wall, but that’s a distinction ambassadors don’t get to make. As the nation’s envoy to the United Nations, her public comments on foreign policy issues generally are assumed to be statements of U.S. policy. That policy, that “the Western Wall is in Jerusalem,” hasn’t changed, a State Department official said following Haley’s comments. Since Israel’s founding, the U.S. has maintained that “no state has sovereignty over the city of Jerusalem” and that it’s a “final status” issue that must be resolved through Israeli-Palestinian negotiation, the official said. https://www.apnews.com/a89b8acbaa1749c4af50e85383e1ae20/AP-FACT-CHECK:-Does-US-believe-Western-Wall-is-in-Israel?

Trump, in Coast Guard graduation speech: "No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly". And it was actually in his telprompter speech, not ad-libbed!

Pence would be just as bad on policy, maybe worse on some social issues, but it would be without the Trump drama of what's he going to screw up next. Of course Pence would have the issue of meeting alone with female leaders unless he got "mother's" approval.

First, you're a sick person. Second, they didn't help her as some claim. The daily constant discussion about emails while giving Trump free publicity by televising his speeches and letting him call in to shows did not help Clinton. The Comey letter of course was a significant factor, as shown by the change in poll numbers after it was released. He completed the investigation into Clinton, he should have been allowed to do the same with Trump. Trump ended Comey's role in that prematurely, but private citizen Comey may be the one to take him down.

What do you mean "we", Kimosabe? Actually the media tore down "their girl" so they could cover the freak show. They'd never get these kind of ratings or readership with a normal administration.

The FBI director was fired after the conclusion of an independent investigation that found he misappropriated funds, and was supported by Republicans in Congress. Trump could piss down your leg and you'd say it was a warm summer rain. Or more likely he'd hire someone to do it to you.

So a president can be impeached for lying about getting BJs, but not for firing the person leading an investigation against him or providing top level intelligence info to the Russians. As Yakov Smirnoff would say, "What a country!".

A house in my neighborhood had panels installed across their southwest facing side of the roof a couple years ago. During the winter they're free of snow, so either they generate enough heat to melt it or there's some extra wiring to do it like what's used to melt snow and ice above a doorway.

I prefer the competition shows; Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, and Chopped.

So they're not supposed to report public poll numbers from polling organizations? They didn't make them up. The cable networks gave Trump free publicity, televising almost every rally live and allowing him to call in whenever he wanted, giving him a free platform to say whatever he wanted. Which president do you think the media would have preferred to cover for four years? Boring Hillary with her boring attention to detail in plans and presentations, treating everyone with boring respect. Or Trump with his spur of the moment ideas and actions, tweeting insults or firing anyone who doesn't go along with him. Trump is ratings gold for the media. Now too late in the game some are realizing that this isn't really a game. But shame on them for waiting until it's too late.

Yes, I remember when the MSM had their swearing in ceremony to take Trump down. Right after they gave him all the free publicity during the election, televising and interviewing him every chance they had to give him free exposure. It has nothing to do with Trump's self-inflicted mistakes or the rolling disclosures of his associates contacts with Russia.

WASHINGTON — Days before he was fired, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, asked the Justice Department for a significant increase in money and personnel for the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential election, according to three officials with knowledge of his request. Mr. Comey asked for the resources during a meeting last week with Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who wrote the Justice Department’s memo that was used to justify the firing of the F.B.I. director this week. Mr. Comey then briefed members of Congress on the meeting in recent days. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/10/us/politics/comey-russia-investigation-fbi.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=span-ab-top-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0

Cardio depends on how long you "last". Do enough push ups so that you don't pass out or sweat all over her during lovemaking.

The FBI director can decide what the priorities are and where resources can be allocated. He could slow down the investigation or bring it to a premature end, and say in his judgement there wasn't enough evidence to justify continuing the investigation, as the Trump minions have been saying in interviews. And since most of it is classified, we wouldn't know if it was true or not. And unfortunately there may be too many Republicans in Congress who care more about passing their legislative agenda than our election process being compromised to press the issue. Thus the need for an independent investigation by someone who doesn't report to the Trump administration. I can only hope enough Republicans have the courage to stand up to Trump.
