Trump says he was going to fire Comey regardless of the DoJ's recommendation. Really?

[usmbguest5318]

Donald trump stated in his interview with Lester Holt that he'd decided to fire Comey even before he'd met with the Atty General and the Deputy Atty General. Maybe that's true; maybe it's not.

• If it's true --> Just how profoundly inept (?), indolent (?), ignorant (?) must a POTUS be to have planned to fire the FBI Director and not have at the same time have a replacement individual to appoint on the same day -- to say nothing of a week later -- as firing the existing one?
• If it's not true --> It's yet another lie Trump has told and for which having simply said nothing would have been a better tack.

While the remark/lie itself is minor, that the POTUS doesn't yet have a replacement named is not. Given that the remark is in the scheme of things, of little import, one must ask why anyone, much less a POTUS struggling to overcome legitimate concern -- from outside and within his own party -- that he's a paltering dolt, would deign to make such a trivial comment. If it's true, the man clearly has no idea of what's worth saying and what's not. If it's not true, we have yet another illustration of just how petty a mental midget the man is. None of that is what we need in a POTUS, but it is apparently what Trumpkins think the country deserves.

You have an assistant director who does the job until the top spot is filled. Nothing lost here at all.

Have you ever heard of a "Consultant"? A Consultant is someone that Management hires in order to justify doing what Management intended to do anyway. They just want someone else to blame it on if things turn out badly.

Do you see the parallel?

The Media and the Leftist are in the process of trying to engineer a "Soft Coup," in which Trump will be so embattled that he will be unable to function, and will (hopefully) get so frustrated that he will either provide a pretext for impeachment, or quit.

All of these things are being grossly blown out of proportion, and characterized as though they are the thought product of a madman. But it's all bullshit. Major decisions are never taken for a single reason (other than someone getting killed or fucking the boss's wife); there are multiple reasons, and one of them usually provides the final push that makes it happen, even though that final reason was not the most important or decisive in itself.

Trump had decided to fire Comey months ago, but was waiting for either the right time or some excuse. He probably got impatient and said, "What the hell, let's do it."

Who cares? What's important is who replaces Comey.

He's just telling us HE decided, not the AG's office. HE's the boss. Get it now?

Fury, I have a couple young students who really get into the points they earn on Khan for completing a work sheet or watching a video, but aren't you a little old to be focusing on that?

They are just stupid. It's the only thing they got. Democrats like stupid people as they do what they are told easier.

So perhaps you think the President should have begun interviewing candidates to replace Comey before he fired Comey? Or perhaps you think it's not important to interview candidates before making a choice? Or perhaps you just don't think?

Nope the percents tell you where you fall in the main stream. And my ratings say I am pretty much the middle of the board.

Well, then, he could have said that in some way that was as direct and clear as you have, and yet he did not, and neither did he, the boss, think far enough ahead to have someone identified to nominate to replace Comey. Failing to anticipate obvious "next steps" and have them covered when one acts is not not what a good boss does. People don't need "just anyone" as a boss; they, countries, need competent bosses. Repeatedly we receive the evidence of Trump's own words and deeds that he is incompetent.

The point is less then 50 percent of all your statements cannot garner one agree. That puts you outside normal more then half the time. In short you do not fit the board.

Hatred of themselves projected outward for a world not in favor of them. They dwell on the stuff they can attack because it saves them from looking at themselves.

I'm on your side, Xelor. I'm just guessing that was Trump's motivation for offering that second explanation.
