Were not sure why McCabe was fired. But Trumps tweet suggests the worst.

[Demovictory9]

MORE THAN the details of the case, President Trump’s tweet early Saturday celebrating the firing of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe is what stands out: a marquee of bullying and unseemly behavior by a president. Mr. Trump acts like a nasty, small-minded despot, not the leader of a democracy more than two centuries old in which rule of law is a sturdy pillar. If there is doubt that the timing of Mr. McCabe’s dismissal was driven by political vengeance, Mr. Trump does everything he can to prove the worst with his own sordid words.

This is the language of a banana republic. In nations without a strong democratic foundation, tyrants cling to power by belittling perceived enemies and insulting and coopting other institutions, such as a free press, law enforcement and the military, coercing them into subservience. Just look around the world at practices today in Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Turkey, to name a few. The banana republic playbook has no place in the United States, not in a town hall, not in a statehouse, least of all in the Oval Office.

1. I wonder it Trump has notified Human Resources to make it official.

2. This worthless piece of shit needs to be stopped. Now.

Evangelical fucks and trumpanzees moan in orgasmic delight at every despicable thing this piece of shit does. And the Pukes in the house and the senate just sit there. Just sit there.

5. I love it when writers put my feelings & thoughts into cohesive, eloquent statements.

I have thoughts like this in my head, but they never come out like these writers put it. I guess that's why they're writers!

Thank God for the free press.

6. trump is worse than a banana republic

despot.. because he colluded with the Russians to overtake America and destroy it from within.

9. Sessions said McCabe got the boot for "lacking candor under oath".

Which is what Sen. Franken rightly called Sessions out for when he testified in his confirmation hearings. Sessions couldn't seem to recall his multiple contact with Russians.

10. So, sessions was projecting..

I very much hope this backfires on them.. extraordinarily so.

7. I thought this statement bizarre

“Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI — A great day for Democracy.”

How could this be good for the FBI co-workers? If anything, it just shows them anyone is subject to a political firing.

And great day for Democracy? Huh?

Stupid and it doesn't make any sense.

8. I don't think Trump sees it as a political firing

I'm not sure he's self-aware enough to do so.

12. Does anyone remember . . .

DEEP THROAT? The guy who blew the lid off Nixon's coverup in Watergate?

He was the Deputy Director of the FBI. Just like McCabe.
