What's this?

C'mon man. How about a little old fashioned responsibility.

So whoever is seeking this vengeance against Trump has gained control of his mind, and forced him to fire Comey against his will? If he had not done that, there would be no special counsel, and this would still probably be primarily a counter-intel investigation.

Maybe Comey sucks and needed to go, but the timing was beyond boneheaded. Or it was a final act of desperation.

Neither one of us has any idea at all what actually did happen. It is even still possible, though highly unlikely IMO, that the Russians weren't behind the DNC hacks and leaks. It makes absolutely no sense for any American to not want to get to the bottom of it, other than desperation to defend Trump.

Problem is, from Trump's tweeting to Nunez's antics to the unfortunately timed firing of Comey, Trump guaranteed that this would become a shitstorm. Nobody made him do that.

So how about a little old fashioned acceptance of responsibility? Trump has Trump and nobody else to blame for where he is. Short of mind control he is where he is because of his own incompetence at the job of running the WH.

I wonder if his core support - the trumpies - will ever demand accountability from him? You say Noooooooo over and over. I say "Trump could shoot your dog in front of your face and you'd call it fake news" over and over.
