it is possible that rich people do not fail university but it has nothing to do with grades.

Of all the possible motivations for firing comey, the one I haven't seen mentioned is that Trump is a reality TV president and every reality show needs drama or it will get canceled. Trump consistently produced drama as a candidate, and has continued to do so as president.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The Minsky Moment

So after his staff cobbled together the whole cover story about Rosenstein being commissioned to do an objective independent analysis of Comey, Trump went on NBC and blurted out that he intended to fire Comey all along and that the Rosenstein "recommendation" was irrelevant.

Wasn't there a plan at some point to shut out the failing fake news outlets?  Dude has been doing a shitload of interviews.

Sean Spicer's stand-in said that firing Comey will help bring a close to the Russia investigation.

Never.  It's an ongoing abusive relationship.  He hates them, spits on them, beats them on pay day--but can't live without them, and adores them when he is adored.


Anyway, watch Spicey is going to be gone;  The Donald is getting good feedback from I Heart Huckabees, Spicey's on Navy Reserve duty for about 10 days, and with Melissa McCarthy hosting SNL this week, that will be it for Mr. Moose Lambs.

That makes it worse, IMO.  If the intention "all along" was to fire Comey, then that means we've got a POTUS who takes 3 1/2 months to shit or get off the pot when it comes to firing somebody.

Not exactly "decisive leadership."
Experience bij!

We had a good run.

I'm on a 5 year visa. Ok?

Can you still get citizenship after 3?

No. However, you can apply for indefinite leave to remain once you hit 5 years.
