And this is bad thing for Repubs how?

I don't know of any conservative who's against having a Special Council investigate the claims.

Like most words, liberals have twisted "tolerance" to mean setting fire to a girl's hair because she wore a Trump hat.

"Tolerance" mean setting a building on fire with people in it to prevent wrong speak.

"Tolerance" means beating and stomping on an already unconscious and bloody man because he MIGHT be a "nazi", which is code for a person who isn't a liberal.

I love the dictionary fallacy idiots.

@Drwas:

It is unclear if Trump understands the implications of mentioning the “made-up Russia story” in the same sentence that he discussed his reasons for firing Comey. If Trump were to admit that he fired Comey because he was irked by the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible connections to Russian election interference, he would be admitting to obstruction of justice.

That same charge was what ultimately led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation. Nixon was investigated for obstruction of justice for his hand in covering up the break-in at the Watergate Hotel. With this latest gaffe, the parallels between the two presidents have become more glaring.

First, if what has been "reported" by such venerable news organizations as the WaPo or NYT can be relied upon, the investigation was begun because of an unreliable dossier that was prepared for opposition research. No intelligence agency ANYWHERE has found it credible, so IF as has been reported and that is true, Trump is correct in being "irked" and questioning the already questionable judgment of Comey. Plus, the firing of Comey doesn't impede or obstruct the investigation, as was testified under oath by Acting FBI Director (and Democrat) McCabe. Also, Grassley AND FEINSTEIN that Comey did inform them that the President is NOT under investigation. So, as was laid out by Rosenstein, there was just cause to fire Comey, and even if he was investigating Trump, Trump could still fire him for his mishandling and job performance elsewhere. Otherwise, every FBI agent would undertake investigations of every president the moment the election is over for job security. That is a ridiculous notion!

Second, as has been pointed out by many legal experts, firing an FBI Director is COMPLETELY different from firing the AG, the Dep. AG and a Special Prosecutor. Any attempts to link them are not born by reason or logic.

@Drwas:

Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe for the second time has directly contradicted White House claims. Late Thursday morning Director McCabe exposed as false a key White House claim for firing Director Jim Comey, telling Senators during an Intelligence Committee hearing Comey had "broad support within the FBI, and still does."

Wow.. what a surprise.. temporary acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is sticking up for fired Director Jim Comey.  I wonder why?
Could it be because of this?
Andrew McCabe was appointed to the deputy director position in January 2016 by Comey, according to a FBI press release.
“Andy’s 19 years of experience, combined with his vision, judgment, and ability to communicate make him a perfect fit for this job,” Comey said in a statement at the time.

Guess what.. Trump didn't have to fire McCabe, because once there is a new FBI director, the new FBI director will appoint a new deputy.. so Andrew McCabe should start making out his resume now.

Trump is trying as best he can to keep radical Muslims out of the country.  Muslim law dictates that homosexuals should be put to death.  In 17 Muslim countries in the world, homosexuals are put to death, and in many other Muslim countries they are beaten and tortured and imprisoned.

And yet.. the libtards do everything possible to open the borders to these intolerant, homophobic, monsters.

We're talking about scumbag repigliKKKlans here!

Five activists were arrested in Moscow Thursday morning while attempting to deliver a petition demanding Russian authorities investigate the kidnapping and torture of gay men in Chechnya.

Several dozen men have been detained and tortured by authorities in Chechnya in the past few months, according to reports by the Russian independent news outlet Novaya Gazeta. Chechnya is a semi-autonomous region inside Russia, and its leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, responded to the reports by saying "we have never had gay men" in the republic.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he'd order federal authorities to assist in an investigation after being pressed on the issue by German Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier this month, but there is concern whether this investigation will be allowed to do its work.

The petition drive was organized by a trio of Russia LGBT organizations in partnership with US-based online activist platforms All Out, Avaaz, and Change.org. The five activists were delivering 2 million signatures to Russia's prosecutor general, the head of the agency that oversees federal investigations, when they were detained by the Moscow police. The Russia LGBT Network issued a statement saying they were arrested under a law prohibiting unauthorized public gatherings.

Russia is such a backwards country!

Hmm, sharia law is off topic, but its part of the OP.    Nice SJW logic.

Polling is still a respected science- even if it has its failings now and then. It might not have been as accurate for 2016, but it has had more than its share of accurate predictions.
Besides, just because medicine can't cure all illnesses, and people still die at hospitals doesn't mean we just junk the whole system of medical science, right? Nothing is perfect, and what polling does is provide an intelligent estimate of probabilities and trends that are supported by raw data which is still far far better than blind guessing. Which is why your local politicians, including Trump, still sit up and take notice when the numbers are really bad for them.

There is a world of difference.   A private company is liable in many ways for services.  A church is pretty much exempt from any liability.  Ever hear of priests molesting children?

Ever hear of the more than 4 billion dollars in settlements and fees or the more than 10 dioceses who have gone bankrupt?

There is a case that was just heard by SCOTUS that will deal with the issue of this thread. They can decide it.

@Drwas:

The CEO of Australian airline Qantas says he’ll continue to publicly support same-sex marriage after he was attacked with a pie over the issue. “My opinion on this has not changed,” Alan Joyce said in a statement Wednesday. “We’ll continue to speak about important social issues including indigenous reconciliation, gender diversity and marriage equality, because it’s the right thing to do.”

A man rubbed a pie in Joyce’s face at a business event on Tuesday morning just as the CEO began delivering a speech. The assailant, Tony Overheu, has since spoken to Australian media, saying he wanted to make a statement about Joyce’s support for same-sex marriage. “There’s some really crude stuff going on here, and Joyce has been very much leading the issue,” Overheu told 7News.

I'm going to respond to this taking the position of a stockholder in Quantas.  I assume that Quantas is a publicly traded company.  What business does the CEO of Quantas have making a speech about same-sex marriage?   Whether the CEO was in favor of same sex marriages or against them is irrelevant.   As the CEO of Quantas.. he needs to refrain from delving into areas which have zero to do with the company he is supposed to be running.

QANTAS was pro gay rights and pro same sex marriage before it was "cool" (best way to put it, I guess) and it is a stance the company has had for many years.

I think, with the fact that he is gay, if he HAD just suddenly decided the company was pro gay then, yes, I would understand your point, but in this case it was pro gay way before he was even part of things.

And to clarify, the company's pro gay stances haven't been deliberate speeches, more things like, company policy, via sponsored events and a few comments here and there on the issues we face, in Australia. He didn't hold a specific meeting to address it to the public or anything.

And to be clear, we have had companies that have never commented, some have been quite adamant they were for it and some against it too. Australians don't like to discuss gay issues, usually.

That makes perfect sense. it also makes sense that the smiling Russian "diplomats" (read: Geppetto & company) pulling Orange Pinocchio's strings would show up the day after to congratulate him on a job well done. No doubt, he was likely told when the meeting was being set up that Comey had to go so that Russia would not be further implicated and he as their cherished figurehead would be removed in addition to more congressional sanctions.

I kind of enjoy pointing out how every one of your comments is garbage.

I must have missed when that happened!  :cheesy2:

If you wonder why 70% of Americans don't trust the MSM/ legacy news organizations you need to look no further than that headline!

From the Fairmont Sentinel:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Police in West Virginia’s Capitol arrested a journalist who they said was trying “aggressively” to get past Secret Service agents and yelling questions at U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price during his visit to the state.

It happened as Price and senior White House aide Kellyanne Conway visited the state Capitol in Charleston on Tuesday to learn about efforts to fight opioid addiction in a state that has the nation’s highest overdose death rate.

Capitol police said in a criminal complaint that Daniel Ralph Heyman, 54, “was aggressively breaching the secret service agents to the point where the agents were forced to remove him a couple of times from the area” in a Capitol hallway. It also says he was “causing a disturbance by yelling questions at Ms. Conway and Secretary Price.”

In the pigeon sized brains of the libtards.. Trump can do no right.

It doesn't matter what the topic is, they have a pathological need to villianize Trump.
