Rusty Shackleford Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Comey had no experience in law enforcement, he was strictly a political appointee by Obama. Previously I was referring to president Trump as "Emperor Trump" ever since he began establishing safe zones and Syria (single-handedly saving Western Civilization). With the firing of James Comey, it may be time to unveil a new title: "High Emperor Trump" If he can actually get his tax plan through, we'll have to add something else. Trump is packing 25 hours of winning into a 24 hour day. Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Who's this new troll? His name is Donald Trump. He was a Real Estate mogul in New York for quite a few years, pretended to run for office mostly as a publicity stunt several times, and won and lost a few different fortunes. He's mostly bombast and blather, but then he got a reality show (as will happen) and took up critiquing President Obama over the past eight years on the Twitter. As more of a lark than anything else, he ran for president in the 2016 election, and because America has (on average) an eighth-grade education level, enough people were entertained by the rabble-rousing that they put his name in the ballot box, and now he's in the White House. Unless you're talking about a different troll? 7 Link to comment

You offer this comment as if it's a detriment to his ability to do the job. Most FBI directors dating back the last half century have law degrees and spent most of their professional careers as lawyers. Link to comment

Trump is packing 25 hours of winning into a 24 hour day. Seems pretty republican to me and more than a little law enforcement experience. From Wiki: James Brien "Jim" Comey Jr. (born December 14, 1960) is an American lawyer who served as the seventh Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from September 2013 until May 2017.[2] Comey has been a registered Republican during most of his adult life, although he disclosed in 2016 that he is no longer registered in any party. Comey was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from January 2002 to December 2003, and subsequently the United States Deputy Attorney General from December 2003 to August 2005. Comey appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to be the Special Counsel to head the CIA Leak Grand Jury Investigation also known as the "Plame affair", after Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself. In August 2005, Comey left the DOJ and became General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin, based in Bethesda, Maryland. In 2010, he became General Counsel at Bridgewater Associates, based in Westport, Connecticut. In early 2013, he left Bridgewater to become a Senior Research Scholar and a Hertog Fellow on National Security Law at Columbia Law School. He served on the Board of Directors of HSBC Holdings until July 2013.[3] In September 2013, Comey was appointed Director of the FBI by President Barack Obama 1 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I guess this applies Always want to hear the opposite side and new perspectives but this guy is over the top Troll. 2 Link to comment
Enhance Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I may not be wording this perfectly, but I believe being in "law enforcement" means you're either an agent, officer, deputy, etc. Prosecuting criminal law makes you an officer of the court, but not law enforcement. 1 Link to comment

Rusty Shackleford Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 No troll, just an enthusiastic Trump supporter. The way Comey handled the FBI in the last year has completely shattered public trust in the bureau. It also decreased morale within the bureau. The FBI was viewed as a mechanism to bully the little guy, while always letting the big fish go, even by some within the bureau. It will take years for the public to have full faith that partisanship has been purged from the FBI. This firing is a good first step. Link to comment

If that's the standard, then how many decades will it take for the public to have full faith that gross incompetence has been purged from the Presidency? 2 Link to comment
