President Donald Trump issued a thinly veiled threat Friday to fired FBI Director James Comey, an extraordinary development in the ongoing feud between the President and the agencies investigating alleged ties between his campaign and Russia.

The tweet seemed to suggest there are possibly recorded conversations between Trump and Comey that could be leaked to counter the former FBI director if necessary: "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press."

I'm feeling a little nostalgia for Watergate.

I think by the time 2020 get here, we're going to be wondering to ourselves if a Hildabeast regime would really have been any worse than what we are going to suffer under Trump's.

I think it may end up just being different angles of outrage and idiocy that subject this people and country to consequences we will not recover from.

What a petulant ass.

I didn't think it was possible to trump Obama's petulance.  Boy did Trump prove that wrong.

There is nothing .... nothing that Trump could do that would make me long for Hillary or Obama.

Most of the Trump voters I know of, apart fron his most rabid fans, tell me they voted for Trump only because he wasn't Hillary. 

Sorry, but that's not a good reason to vote for anyone -- particularly, Trump.  Unless you live in a cave, you had to know what Trump was like, or at least had an inkling.  Why would anyone vote for a candidate with the maturity of a 12 year old (or younger)?  Did those voters really think this man child would have been better than Hillary?   

Just can't believe that after 8 years of the sociopathic Obama, voters turned around and elected yet another, perhaps more malevolent sociopath.  I really think Trump has more than one screw loose.  This country will go over a cliff within four years.  He cannot be re-elected in 2020, or this country will be dead.

They did not.  There is no more malevolent sociopath than Obama.  Trump is not malevolent ... he's just a jerk.  No comparison.

Is that a challenge? lol

Besides that wasn't the question. Not liking Trump has literally nothing to do with Hillary or Obama. Nothing. it's a false choice.

No democrat could so effectively destroy or discredit conservatism the way Orange Julius has.

Obama and Hillary are no longer relevant. The election is over. I wish Trumpers I see on FaceBack acted like they understood that. There is no Trump or Hillary/Obama paradigm any longer.

Don't be naive.  Of course there is ... and it is totally valid.

No there isn't. Obama and Hillary are history, they are not the alternative to Trump.

Two things:

One, Obama and Hillary are way too relevant.  They are both gathering every possible resource to interfere in our government and to denounce Trump.  They have not 'gone away.'

Two, Do you have friends on Facebook or are you just observing.

I have to concur with that estimation.

Hildabeast did in fact state she was an active member of the 'resistance', and Obama is already giving speeches dissing Trump.

They are not irrelevant they are not going away.

Trump is:

--Implementing policies that conservatives have asked for, for years
--Pissing off liberal/democrats/media/#nevertrumps

All of which I approve. If he is removed, Pence is the guy. Hence no downside.

--BTW quick reminder: The repeal healthcare topic is polling 21% approval at resent, which may well destroy the GOP in 2018.

That alone may overshadow anything about Trump. Because one thing is certain: Conservatives come up tragically short on selling much of anything.

A personal attack, just like any other Trumper who has no argument. Almost as dumb as thinking that Hillary becomes President if Trump fails.

Regardless, anyone who thinks Trump is the only answer to them is an idiot.

I agree.  Remember the days when supposed Conservatives wanted Bush and his admin to take up for themselves?  Show some cojones?  Now it's petulant and non-presidential.  Gotta love the hypocrisy on parade here.  The entertainment value is priceless.

Perfectly stated, @anubias      :beer:

My twitter account was accidental deleted when I deleted that email a few months ago. I'm missing all the fun not seeing the tweets.

I should re- register under my other email account, huh?

If I do, I'll have to follow Potus and FLOTUS of course and you all here.

Btw, I'm not on Facebook for personal reasons which if you want to know send me a pm.

Destroying conservatism is the goal of the Ompaloompah in Chief.  His liberal stripe will emerge from its orange cocoon. God save America.
