Comey: 'No-one around Trump to contain him' (video, interview)

Those "rich male landowners" gave you the means to do things your own way. Stop bitching and use it.

Unless you were female and/or non white.. and in general... did not own land, which was most people. Stop being so delusional at what society and the founding fathers were at the time. They would be appalled that women had the vote today, and that black men and white women were getting married.. among other things. The founding fathers never imagined the society of supposed freedoms and what not, that the US has evolved into (and is de-evolving from it seems).

So...you'd rather bitch about it all instead of applying the process they gave us to change the way our government operates.

Okay.

Comey: 'No-one around Trump to contain him' - BBC News

The former director of the FBI, James Comey, has told BBC Newsnight that he doesn't believe there is anyone around Donald Trump who can contain him.

In his only UK broadcast interview, Mr Comey said there is no one around him to stop impulsive behaviour.

"We have become numb to it in the US," he added.
========================================
Watch tonight on BBC 2 at 2230 hrs on Newsnight.

Why do we need to contain him or stop his impulsive behavior?

Okay.

Oh that is just fine, but you have NOT changed the way you elect your leader... which was the point of the comments. "we the people" is a crock.. it is still a bunch of dudes and yes now chicks, who choose him based on some wacked out standard that does not fit in the modern world. It has absolutely nothing to do with "we the people". On top of that... for it to be "we the people", then "we the people" should have had a say in the rules in the first place.. they NEVER had. No referendum at all.

Okay. Now you are back to implying that YOU are not part of "we the people". That's fine, but I wish you would remain consistent about it.

So...the fact is, "we the people" are the ones responsible for either accepting and abiding by our Constitution or, if we don't want to accept it, changing the Constitution by way of the process that is built into it. In either case, this is decided by "we the people".

Given the fact that "we the people" vote and that vote is used by our Constitutional process to determine the winner of the election, the there is absolutely no logical validity to your argument. It's only spinning sour grapes.

btw, the "modern world" is free to do things the way they want. We have been using our way for more than a couple hundred years and it's been working just fine. You do it your way...and we won't tell you to change it...and we'll do it our way...and ignore you when you tell us to change it.

'K?

Hey, no one was around to contain Obama. He was free to damage this nation, we don't need to "contain" someone that is tasked with doing the repairs.
 
He could respect the choice that WE THE PEOPLE made...

If he was better.

He could respect the choice that Putin made...

If he (Comey) wasn't overseeing a counterintelligence investigation.
 
He is part of the people. He is now a private citizen who can do what he wants.
Also why did Comey get fired again? The reason keeps changing and none of them are good.

Ask Chuckie Schumer, Maxine Waters, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, etc... They all called for him to be fired. Obama didn't have the guts to do though.

...The ACA's major provisions came into force in 2014. By 2016, the uninsured share of the population had roughly halved, with estimates ranging from 20–24 million additional people covered during 2016.[6][7] The increased coverage was due, roughly equally, to an expansion of Medicaid eligibility and to major changes to individual insurance markets. Both involved new spending, funded through a combination of new taxes and cuts to Medicare provider rates and Medicare Advantage. Several Congressional Budget Office reports said that overall these provisions reduced the budget deficit, that repealing the ACA would increase the deficit[8][9], and that the law reduced income inequality by taxing primarily the top 1% to fund roughly $600 in benefits on average to families in the bottom 40% of the income distribution.[10] The law also enacted a host of delivery system reforms intended to constrain healthcare costs and improve quality. After the law went into effect, increases in overall healthcare spending slowed, including premiums for employer-based insurance plans.[11]..

Trump-O-Meter: Not take vacations | PolitiFact

It remains to be seen how much leisure time Trump will get relative to time spent working on this upcoming working vacation. We'll continue to monitor this and other presidential trips before weighing in more definitively. Trump's extended trip to his golf resort looks more like a vacation than not. For now we rate this promise ...

Why the heck should James Comey be loyal to Trump after he fired him????

I don't know that he was loyal to Trump before he was fired, but the point here is that Comey is doing himself no favors at all.
