Yep, you are drinking the Trump drink of choice. Trump is the angry one, not his opponents, who are calm and cool and collected and coming for him. There is nowhere for him and his orange-os to hide.

Take off your partisan blinders and we can talk.
 
I don't know, and it doesn't really matter. I suspect she'd have handled it with a little more decorum if she did.
 
Since Bill did it, Hillary would have too.

I say maybe.She might have been mad that she was exposed for lying about having classified info on her private server and found an excuse to fire her.Then again she might have been grateful that Comey was an Obama stooge and did not press charges against her and let him keep his job..

Then why did he lead the chants during the campaign?

It's called an election. The nominees say all kinds of **** to get elected. Did you not hear him say after becoming president that he wasn't going to pursue the Clinton stuff?

Don't know, but if she did, she would have likely done it from the start though, not waiting for further investigations into her before firing.

So, you're the second person who admits to accepting, and defending, being lied to. Interesting.

Check out post #56 for the other example.

Defend? No. Accept? Yes.

All people running for office base their campaigns on lies. Then they sprinkle some truth in there for garnish.

Based on Hillary Von Pantsuit's past.....she would have probably brought him up on charges.

I agree that it needs to be improved, and the GOP senatorial rump and Dems will see to that. They will make the House GOP accept a decent bill or face disaster next year in the fall.

Let's get serious. The dems should have worked with the republicans to begin with. Together, the two parties could have come up with something that both sides could have lived with, and the democrats would have received most of the credit. Instead, they shut republicans out with a "our way or the highway" approach and pushed through an ill conceived bastard healthcare bill despite opposition from the majority of American voters. They have been paying for it since by way of losing control of the houses of reps, the senates, most state legislatures, most governors, etc. Now Obamacare is in a death spiral and they are still defending it as if it is the greatest thing since sliced cheese. And the democrats have no intention today of working with the republicans on a healthcare bill unless they are allowed to write it. The truth is that the republicans can pass their bill the same way the democrats passed obamacare if necessary. Hopefully it will end up a good bill. Even if not, it will be far better then Obamacare.

The truth is that the GOP cannot pass the bill without Dem help, because McConnell does not have the 50 votes he needs. He may not have 44 votes much less 50 votes. ACA will be morphed into an AHCA that the great majority of Americans want: a better ACA.

You are getting way ahead of yourself and attempting top predict what you do not have the foggiest clue about just yet. Let's wait for the final bill before you decide how many votes McConnell can gather. the Senate will make some changes, and then it may get more changes in the House. And the republicans do potentially have the votes.

You have described yourself, not me, because you don't understand the sliding political alliances between and within the parties, or the outright dislike almost hatred of some for others. McConnell cannot afford to lose three votes, and he has eight Republicans looking crosswise at him.
 
You mean if Comey was investigating her for colluding with Russia? Because that's the only comparison

Hillary will do anything for power for sure, but she's typically plots more deviously than Trump, who is just so transparent in his corruption. She would have had Comey quietly whacked, or blackmail or who knows

You're partisanship shows.
 
Irrelevant, but probably; she's notorious for being vindictive.

I am quite aware of the sliding political alliances. That's why I am not registered with either party. I consider the democrat party as lower then whale ****. However, the republican establishment does share some traits with them. However those sliding alliances between the parties did not help the democrats when they attempted to prevent Gorsuch from getting confirmed to the US Supreme Court. You are just assuming what's going to happen in regards to the healthcare bill based on your own partisan leanings. You are well aware that Obamacare is in a death spiral, however you do not want to see "Hussein" Obama's signature accomplishment go completely down the drain. If I like the bill that is ultimately voted on, I do not give a **** which party gets the credit for it. As I previously stated, the democrats should have approached healthcare reform in a bipartisan manner, just as you are insisting that the republicans do now. I am sure that the republicans will seek input from the democrats, however I doubt they will be willing to meet the republicans half way on anything. The democrats are still stupidly defending Obamacare as it is written. If they remain obstinate, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that the republicans can garner the vote without them.

If you mean that the Dems can't have it all their way on AHCA, you are 100% right. They will demand some trade offs in other legislation (tax reform?) plus standing firm on pre-existing conditions, medicaid, and PP funding. To get those AHCA provisions they way the want, the Dems must truly compromise on other provisions of the bill.

No. She understands the chain of command, and knows that Comey has strong support of the Bureau. She also knows that when her husband was president, he positively loathed his administration's FBI Director, Louis Freeh, even though Clinton had appointed Freeh, because he knew Freeh would have the support of rank-and-file FBI and do a good job for the country.
