No because Comey is still a piece of shit. He is not suddenly a good guy because of this. Frenemy at best.
Critical support for...
...James Comey? 🫠
You don’t win by hating everyone that doesn’t agree with you on 100% of everything. Problem with the left actually are these fucking purity tests. It’s why the left is weak as fuck. We could build a coalition, but no that guy one time did or said something I don’t like, so therefore I’d rather let evil win instead. Exactly what happened when it comes to Biden and Gaza.
Comey is part of the reason we're here. He put his thumb on the scale a week before the election causing the dipshit to win.
Comey just followed what he felt was ethical to a fault without looking at the wider picture. He was too fixated on the minute details to see the bigger political picture. And, when Trump tried to get him to pledge loyalty, he refused and was instead fired. Comey’s crime was resisting political pressure from both sides. Either way, that’s over and he thinks Trump is horrendous and wants to get rid of him. You ever hear the phrase “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”?
He fucked the country. The problem is see with a. Lot of liberals is that anyone who remotely has a correct take on standing up to a terrible piece of shit, suddenly redeems all their past crimes against humanity. Him posting a cheesy photo to get attention before his book release doesn't undo the fact that he cause this shit.
This photo isn't an alliance.
This blows my mind..
"His crime was resisting political pressure from both sides.'
His crime was trying to be objective and impartial?
That's not what he did. At all. There was plenty of evidence on Trump's Russian compromise. No investigation. But reopening a random investigation into emails, which had already been closed...which was something the entire bush administration did, the entire trump admin later did...one week before the election and immediately closing it is fucking bullshit. There was zero point to that other than influencing the election
I'm just pointing out the wording there. I'm not at all saying comey didn't botch it, but on its face we WANT prosecutors to ignore both sides and focus on what the facts.
I was trying to say its a crazy bonkers world when judicial isnt expected to ignore political parties.
Sorry for the confusion, i am not talker good
I'd normally agree, but fuck Comey. His choice to reopen the investigation into Clinton and loudly announce it two days before the election is why we're in the situation we're in. He blatantly used his position to help Trump win. Just because he has buyer's remorse doesn't mean he's not a traitorous piece of shit.
If you look at the details, he wasn’t doing it to tip the scales, he was doing it because he was trying to be TOO ethical without looking at the political context of everything. Comeys crime has always been being too fixated on smaller ethical issues to understand the impact of his role in the wider political picture. In essence, he resists playing politics and instead gets drawn in to them. Trump tried to get him to pledge loyalty, but when he resisted, Trump fired him. Remember that?
lol…are you seriously getting mad at dems for being too democratic?
You talk like people would just suddenly stop saving the world just because a person, who forgot to recycle that one time, agreed.
You don’t require to be all in the same car to drive to the same destination. Not all things must be a partisan.
Partisanship and coalitions are too black and white. It’s all based on agreeing 100% of the time. Just look at the right: Kissing the ring is a purity test. That is the opposite of democracy. It’s bound to failure for every reason you just pointed out: it overlooks way too much just to serve the most powerful few to keep it all in one party.
In fact if anything: this whole ‘everything needs to be a coalition and partisan’ is where a lot of the main issues started. People are way more complicated than that. You will never ever have everyone agree to all things all the time. In democracy disagreement is a feature. Not a bug. Dems are not wrong for breaking off and fracture. that is what democracy is. They can agree on some things and keep checks on other things. The meaning behind checks and balances. That’s by design.
Comey is a certified Lockheed shill. His uncanny ability to get right in the cross fire of left right conflict is disruptive at best.
