First, what the heck was Comey doing in the midst of how the CIC and Chief Executive and the AG/D of J treat alleged foreign terrorists? There is a huge difference between investigating a criminal enterprise that propelled planes flying into the Twin Towers and ruling on the legality (or not) of the punishment of those who MIGHT have conspired with them. The latter was a call solely for Chief Executive and D of J (since those two had decided to forego the Constitutional guarantees of counsel, judge and jury). It was not a call for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (of domestic crimes). Not to mention, we all later saw how Comey mangles law to pretend it fits the extra-legal result he wants.

Second, given Comey's record on torture, why did a President who campaigned on ending torture (but did not), namely, Barack "Look only forward" Hussein Obama ensure Comey a place in the history and record books by making Comey the longest-"serving" FBI head since the repugnant, slimy J. Edgar Hoover? WTF was Obama rewarding Comey for? (That was a purely hetorical question: We all know why Obama did that.)

Third, and I may well sound like a broken record (scratched CD?), our quisling mass media does not even make a feint at objective, professional journalism. Rather, some years ago, it schooled us that "commentators" are not bound by objectivity. However,as the saying goes, Matthews and Zakaria are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts. Or to Comey's revision of factual history.

Today's establishment msm has become so lazy and so corrupt that it may as well be a ventriloquist's dummy, mindlessly flapping its mouth as they lob the views of the alleged "moderate" establishment to listeners. No mere fact-checking, let alone investigative reporting. And, if these "commentators" are only bloviating subjective commentary and not objective reporting, shouldn't they or their respective networks and publications be making that disclosure explicitly?

As one of many scapegoated for Hillary's 2016 loss, Comey was briefly therefore a "bad guy" to the establishment and its propagandists. However, as soon as Trump fired Comey, Comey became the proverbial "enemy of my enemy." At that point, the "moderate" establishment knee-jerked from blaming Comey for Trump's election to taking Comey's side against Trump--and not only as to the bad blood between Comey and Trump. No, Comey had to become correct in all things, present and past, just as the msm has made Trump incredibly villainous in all things.

The establishment eschews nuance because it makes both whitewashing and brainwashing ever so much more difficult than fact-free "commentary." However, whitewashing Comey's pro-torture past is different from slandering someone else, so the "commentators" and their publishers risk no consequences (other than contempt from people who value truth, who don't pay their inflated salaries an therefore don't matter to them). Again, I maintain that establishment media shills don't deserve First Amendment protection.

out of Comey's mouth regarding water boarding during his confirmation hearing. Let's not forget that he has been involved with the Clintons going back to their time in the WH were he protected them from their numerous investigations. The Hill bots like to say that Hillary has been investigated for over 30 years. I don't think that is something that she should brag about. This means that they have been involved in shady dealings since before they slimed their way out of Little Rock and into DC when they decided that the DP should be beholden to the Koch brothers and others of their ilk.

Read a comment yesterday that said that Bill was the first black president and Obama was the first black person to be white. I'm seeing people being upset that Trump is doing .... while forgetting that Obama did many of the same things. Or didn't do them,

When he first campaigned for president, Barack Obama pledged to vigorously investigate the Bush torture regime for criminal violations. Instead, the Obama administration proffered one excuse after another to suppress the vast majority of the evidence, pardon all U.S. government torturers, and throttle all torture-related lawsuits.

When they go low we go lower. If The Hague ever gets the power to investigate this country for its war crimes our government will be hollowed out and maybe then we can put people in who will represent us? Clancy's book, Executive Orders had one of the best endings. A new VP was going to be sworn in and while he was waiting to come into the room where the SOTU is held a plane crashed into the building and killed everyone there. The whole government and military leaders were wiped out in one fell swoop.

BTW. It took 3 years for Bush to get Kavanaugh* appointed to the federal court. This was the first time that the ABA downgraded him.

Off topic, but I hope people will read this article that describes the role of the Supreme Court since its inception. It's not the last leg of defending the constitution as people used to think. It's purpose has always been to defend the interests of the elites.

America Has Become Even More Dangerous

The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh by the US Senate may seem unremarkable to the three dozen or so nations now targeted by US sanctions and impending “color revolutions.” The list has expanded, India, China, and Russia of course, but in truth, there is no end to the list. The issue is world conquest, and the unanswered questions are “by whom” and “for what purpose.”

The mechanism, military and financial war, “hard and soft war,” as they call it in Washington, only can be achieved with total control of America’s political system. The only way this can occur is with rigged elections, a congress and presidency under control as well, and the Supreme Court of the United States ready to overrule any tries to reinstitute democracy or reform.

The catastrophic condition of the world today can be directly tied to the US Supreme Court.
