James Comey: "I will not vote for another Republican..."




James Comey: VOTE in 3 days: “I will not vote for another Republican until Trump is out of office.” My independent-voter wife to a Republican pollster who randomly called our house.

Comey says in his book "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership" that he isn't a member of any political party and normally didn't vote while serving in the FBI. Now that he's "retired" that may have changed.

Just that after being on the inside of this shit show and being partly responsible for getting us here it should be " not voting for another Republican until you get your shit together and stop being racist country crashing pricks".

Instead it's his wife who only wants Trump out. Like Republicans are going to be suddenly sane after 50 years of fuckery once that cat anus mouthed vulgarian is out of office.

His tweet is why I don't trust any of these I'm voting for Democrat this time. The second they can get away with voting for republicans doing the same dipshit stuff as usual wrapped up in a pretty bow, they will.

That's how we got here.

when the pollster called.

Pretty damn sure Comey feels the same way, that's why he elected to tweet his wife's response. Plus he's already said he quit the GOP when Trump became POTUS, so ...

Should also remember he's not that old, it's possible he may want to get back into government or LE at some point, and thus may not want to come across as blatantly partisan in his tweets, as he's unlikely (I'd imagine) to be looking for a political post.

He played a big role in us ending up with Dolt a L'Orange. This song expresses my feelings about Comey perfectly.

So holding your breath until you turn blue is a fruitless exercise. Trump gone? Oh yeah, start voting for the next Republican disaster.

Enjoy your retirement, Jimmy. You’re officially irrelevant.

However, he found out how much his loyalty means after he helped them win and they dumped him like a used condom.

Too bad you didn't come to this realization two years ago. We're all stuck in this nightmare now in no small part thanks to you, asshole. Also, do you think the Republican party is suddenly going to become sane when Trump is gone? So this whole, "until Trump leaves office" shit is just that, shit. All you're saying is that in a few years, you are going to help deliver us another Trump.
