That op-ed was a complete waste of time to read Tom Send a noteboard - 11/05/2017 07:21:15 PM

I generally like reason.com, but by reason's standards that was a piss-poor article. Aside from quoting never Trumper Jonah Goldberg from the National Review, it's just more of the same rank innuendo that everyone is throwing around.

Let's remember a few points:

  1. The firing doesn't affect the investigation. It goes on.

  2. There was something else that happened recently other than the subpoenas. Comey testified before Congress on MAY 3. Members of Congress asked him about his actions in July 2016 and October 2016. Comey made a horrendously bad showing. He proved to Congress that he, while probably a fantastic law enforcement professional, was clearly out of his depth in the politics of it all. If Trump was considering firing him already, that testimony was the final nail in Comey's political coffin.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

The firing as such is one thing, but the timing raises major question marks. - 10/05/2017 07:29:57 AM 465 Views
What question marks? I know that is the talking point but they stop there - 10/05/2017 05:24:59 PM 362 Views
It doesn't necessarily have to be about Trump personally. - 10/05/2017 08:13:12 PM 507 Views
There is zero evidence that Flynn colluded with the Russians on the campaign - 10/05/2017 09:36:20 PM 366 Views

Mitch McConnell isn't worried, so I'm sure it's fine. *NM* - 10/05/2017 03:53:58 PM 248 Views
Sarcasm aside, have you seen even a shred of evidence that it was improper? - 10/05/2017 04:01:46 PM 440 Views
Are these like the "shreds of evidence" people threw up all over me about how corrupt Clinton is? - 10/05/2017 04:35:29 PM 410 Views
When did we start investigating a sitting president when there is zero recurrence her was involved? - 10/05/2017 05:34:50 PM 444 Views
No I can't argue against a negative - 11/05/2017 04:45:18 AM 377 Views
I'm only surprised it didn't happen earlier - 10/05/2017 03:56:10 PM 398 Views
Doesn't that feel like The Point? - 10/05/2017 06:39:00 PM 416 Views
How can Trump prove a negative, though? - 14/05/2017 09:52:47 PM 451 Views
Indeed it does. And a lot of people rather doubt Trump would nominate someone like that. - 10/05/2017 08:00:53 PM 489 Views
That op-ed was a complete waste of time to read - 11/05/2017 07:21:15 PM 341 Views
