    Can we just appreciate the scale of hypocrisy for a moment?

    The president, the vice president, the AG, the director of the FBI, and the assistant director of the FBI all publicly confirmed that there was an active investigation of a particular individual, without any charges being brought.

    That is the very violation of DoJ policy for which Trump fired Comey in 2017.

    There's nobody left here willing to defend the guy. Presumably his more ardent apologists have their own little room set aside somewhere else, although it's probably not coffee they're drinking.

      That’s only half the story. The people who were willing to defend him were no longer able to. That’s obviously why they left.

      If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

              His trolling is getting even more ridiculous. I wonder when the left will quit falling for it.

                You should be asking when the right will quit acquiescing it.

                  It's a lot like the Liberty Mutual ad where the golfer wants the guy to ask Limu to quit digging up the putting greens with his beak... "I can ask him, but he won't."

                  There's no payoff for the GOP to try to change the guy's style, such as it is. He won't.

                  You might as well ask why the Democrats continued to try to cover up for Biden's inadequacy. No payoff for opposing it.

                    The Dems should treat it as what it is... ridiculous bullshit. "It's a stupid thing to say and he can't do it anyway. Now let's move on to important issues.". If you ignore a troll they usually quit trolling.

                      Newsom's response is funnier, and funnier still is right wingers pointing out that he's just copying Trump.

                            A friend of mine who works at the board of governors posted a picture of himself with her in the building today. Apparently she’s not acting fired.

                                LOL Funny how people when given evidence about past things they said/did, still try and lie their way out of it.

                                      Trump forces out federal prosecutor who says there’s not enough evidence to charge Letitia James with a crime.

                                        Wow. Trump publicly ordering his AG to arrest his enemies, even after prosecutors say there’s no there there.

                                          I’ve said it before, he lives in an alternate reality and punishes those who try to correct him on facts. They said Steve Jobs also had a bit of an alternate reality complex.
