If you remember this from all the way back in 1959, you’re REALLY showing your age.
This play on words comes from the dark recesses of my mind, which is a very dangerous place to be.
Trump mocks Comey backlash: President accuses Cryin’ Chuck Schumer of hypocrisy after Senate minority leader claims firing of FBI director has ‘shattered’ the criminal justice system
Donald Trump defended his firing of James Comey in a tweet Tuesday night
Said ‘Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’ was acting indignant for saying that he’d told the President that firing Comey was a ‘very big mistake’
Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey in a letter that read: ‘You are hereby terminated and removed from office immediately’
Comey found out on live TV screens in Los Angeles that he was being fired but thought it was a joke until he was briefed by his staff
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote formal memo saying they had no confidence in him
Trump used letter dismissing Comey to say: ‘I greatly appreciate you informing me, in three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation’
Democrats piled on by comparing Trump to Richard Nixon who fired top justice officials in the Saturday Night Massacre but Clinton aide said: ‘No comment.’
New acting FBI director is Andrew McCabe – and he too is caught in the toxic impact of Clinton as his politician wife got cash from a Hillary ally
This puts Hillary in a quandary; she’s pissed and moaned for 6 months about Comey costing her her rightful destiny. Now that Trump has fired him she has to defend him. This, of course, smacks of rank hypocrisy but we’ve come to expect nothing less from one of the richest criminal enterprises in the course of this nation.
Comey’s Temporary Replacement Has Strong Ties To A Clinton Ally
MCCABE IS CLOSELY TIED TO TERRY McAULIFFE, VIRGINIA GOVERNOR, AND THE MOST VICIOUS PUNK IN AMERICA
McCabe was previously the deputy FBI director and following President Trump’s dismissal of James Comey, he will be in charge of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency. The White House said Tuesday that the search for a new FBI director will begin immediately.
Until the administration finds this director, a man strongly connected to the Democratic Party will be in charge. The Democratic Virginia governor’s PAC donated $467,500 to McCabe’s wife Jill McCabe’s 2015 state Senate campaign. The Virginia Democratic Party also spent a little over $200,000 on the campaign.
The now-acting FBI director’s wife lost the campaign to the Republican incumbent. After the Wall Street Journal reported these findings, then-candidate Trump said, “We’ve never had a thing like this in the history of this country.”

10 Major FBI Scandals on Comey’s Watch
The FBI interviewed almost every terrorist who successfully struck America
Comey will inevitably be remembered for the controversial role he played in the 2016 presidential election, where his agency conducted surveillance of the Trump campaign as well as investigated the Clinton camp for mishandling classified materials, giving both sides arguments for how the FBI ultimately swayed the vote.
But even before the 2016 campaign, the FBI endured a number of humiliations under Comey’s tenure. Most damning were revelations that the FBI was generally aware of almost every terrorist who successfully struck America over the last eight years.

‘Mistake’: The White House put out a dossier which consisted of anti-Comey statements from Democrats including Senator Chuck Schumer – but Schumer said the president needed to now appoint a special prosecutor to look into the claims of collusion with the Russians.

REPLACEMENT???

The democrats have used Comey as their scapegoat for the chaos in their party,saying his investigating,dropping,then resuming the search of Hillary’s e-mails is what cost them the White house.Now they must pivot to claim he was fired because he was about to indict somebody in the Trump-Russia election tampering case.Anybody with a functional brain knows this never happened,which leaves out the democrat electorate.They just swallow the liberal horseshit whole.
Liberals are predictably having the vapors over the dismissal of a man who had no business being there in the first place.
The dems’ best friend, Juan McAmnesty, sided with them, along with Linda Graham who claims everyone was aware of the Russian collusion.
Democrats Go WILD! Conspiracies, Condemnation, and Vitriol Over Comey Firing
Democrats were quick to ascribe blame to Comey when it had to do with Clinton’s losing of the Presidential election. Now that President Trump has fired him, Democrats are inversely hot to call this an “abuse of power”.
Take a look at the leftstream media’s condemnation of Comey:

Now this is rich. Brian Williams, the disgraced ex-NBC journalist who was first suspended for six months without pay and later fired by NBC for reporting fake news, is now going on a crusade against “fake news.” Notice that both of these stories appeared on the ever-truthful, ever-balanced MSNBC.
Brian Williams Criticizes ‘Fake News’ – MSNBC [:54] — Brian criticizes Trump for tweeting news stories that originated at Breitbart, which is more of a real news source than MSNBC is.
Feb 2015: Brian Williams Apologizes, Recants Iraq Story – MSNBC [5:28] — Oh my goodness. Williams’ self-aggrandizing fake story was allegedly all about honoring the military. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Fake News sites are real, but they’re neither places like Breitbart — which is a serious news site that doesn’t happen to toe the “make Democrats look good” party line favored by much of the MSM — nor deliberately humorous satire sites — which are clearly labeled as such.
Real Fake News sites are set up purely to make money via advertising for the owners who publish hoaxes and disinformation. A number of the sites at Wikipedia are attributed to a guy named Jestin Coler, who says he just gives people what they already want to hear.
Some of the sites listed at Wikipedia (see URL below) have look-alike names such as ABCnews.com.co and DrudgeReport.com.co. ABCnews.com.co is apparently run by the Westboro Baptist Church. Paul Horner, the owner of the site, has claimed to make $10,000 per month from advertising traffic.
Some of these sites produce stories plausible enough to fake out big time journalists. As Columbia Journalism Review notes in this article, “we need better BS detectors.”

It’s late morning here at the old bunkhouse. Everything is quiet. We went to WalMart early this morning to stock up on things before the first of several storms heading this way. This first will start late this afternoon and will continue until late into the night. After a brief period it will begin again and snow until late Monday. Best guesses by the local weatherdoofuses say from 8-12″, maybe more, usually not less. After driving a truck for 35 years, I’ve faced far, far worse conditions, but at my age it’s just a pain.
Trump transition team reviewing military rules of engagement
IT’S ABOUT TIME WE STOP ASKING OUR SOLDIERS TO FIGHT WITH ONE HAND BEHIND THEIR BACKS. WE SHOOT. THEY DIE. WE WIN.
Trump often blasted the rules of engagement during the campaign trail, arguing they were too favorable to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“We’re sending leaflets down [saying] ‘in an hour we may be bombing your truck.’ Please remove yourself from — we are — we don’t know what we’re doing,” Trump told Fox News on April 13.

“I’ll just say it: NBC got a call from the campaign. Like I had done something that was journalistically inappropriate or something, and needed to be pulled off the air.”
Michigan House Passes Stricter Voter ID
IT’S CALLED THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
Now, the Michigan House of Representative is taking steps to ensure that future elections are held fairly, and it’s not one Stein is gonna like: they passed a stricter voter ID law. Currently, voters in Michigan are required to show an ID or sign an affidavit before voting, but this new bill would mandate that a person who signed an affidavit also show a photo ID within 10 days of the election for their vote to be counted.

Betsy DeVos at Trump Michigan Rally: Time to ‘Finally Put an End to Federal Common Core’
THE BIGGEST OBJECTION TO HER NOMINATION WAS THAT SHE WAS FOR SCHOOL VOUCHERS AND AGAINST THE TEACHERS’ UNION, BUT SHE WAS AN ADVOCATE FOR COMMON CORE.
“In deference to the U.S. Senate confirmation, I’m not giving interviews, but just between us let me share this,” DeVos said to the crowd, speaking from prepared remarks. “It’s time to make education great again in this country.”
Progressive Caucus: Trump’s Cabinet is a ‘Collection of Stooges’
A SNIVELING GAGGLE OF NINNIES LIKE SHEILA JACKASS LEE, ROSA DELURID, KEITH MUSLIM, AND THE TOTALLY DERANGED JAN SCHAKOWSKY FROM THE 9TH PEOPLES’ DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS.
With only a few exceptions, the individuals that President-Elect Trump has appointed is the greatest collection of stooges and cronies and misfits we have ever seen in a presidential administration,” Huffman said.
“Some of these folks only qualifications for the job they are being appointed for is that they have attempted to dismantle and undermine and destroy the very agencies that they are now hoping to run.”
Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign cost a record $1.2B
The president-elect, who confounded critics during the campaign by saying there was no need to raise or spend $1 billion or more, ended up making do with $600 million.
Clinton’s expensive machine tore through $131.8 million in just the final weeks, finishing with about $839,000 on hand as of Nov. 28.
Team Trump spent $94.5 million in the home stretch — from Oct. 20 to Nov. 28 — and had $7.6 million left.
Brian Williams Criticizes Fake News After Losing NBC Job for Exaggerating Iraq Story
The MSNBC host then talked about how fake news had played a role in the 2016 election and that it continues to find a wide audience in spreading misinformation.
Williams did not mention his own history of exaggerating details of his own reporting. In February 2015, Williams was suspended as the anchor of NBC’s Nightly News and eventually removed from the position after it was discovered that he falsely claimed he was on a helicopter under enemy fire in Iraq in 2003, Stars and Stripes reported on Feb. 4, 2015.
Trump Tells The Silent Majority — ‘You Aren’t Forgotten Anymore’
The president-elect further stated to the crowd that his election win showed that the “forgotten men and women” turned up to the polls and were responsible for delivering a GOP victory.
After a dramatic pause, Trump told his supporters, “you’re not forgotten anymore,” which earned huge cheers from the crowd.

Comments Off on Sigh … not done with Lyin’ Brian
Filed under Brian Williams
No, I’m not obsessed.
I’m outraged that an uneducated, narcissistic liar ever had the trust and power to choose what, when and how We the People were informed.
Freedom of the press is one of the great glories of our system; lying journalists put that, and all our other freedoms, in grave jeopardy, so no, I will NOT be silent about this.
That being said, I am sick to death of the smarmy jerk, so hopefully this is the LAST time I have to even think about him.
In a 2007 interview with Fairfield University Student Television, Williams recalled “Katyusha rockets passing just underneath the helicopter I was riding in” during a trip to Israel in 2006.
In fact he was nowhere near enemy fire. In a broadcast segment he filmed the day of the alleged incident, he described rocket fire as being “six miles away.”
Williams has told several stories about his experiences reporting about Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans in 2005.
Williams claimed to have seen a dead body float past the window of his hotel in the city’s French Quarter.
The French Quarter never got more than a few inches of flooding, certainly not enough for any dead bodies to “float past” his window.
Williams claimed his hotel has been ‘overrun’ with gangs.
The manager of the Ritz-Carlton where he stayed was honored by the company for her exemplary foresight and planning that had made the hotel one of the safest places to be in New Orleans.
Williams claimed he caught dysentery drinking the flood waters.
Former FEMA Director Michael Brown said, “in Hurricane Katrina, anywhere. Biloxi [Mississippi] all the way to the Texas border, I never heard of one case of dysentery.” Plus, “If you truly have dysentery, you’re not standing up in front of a camera, in front of national news people, giving a report. … If you truly have dysentery, you’re down and out.”
Williams claimed he got no medical treatment.
The Ritz-Carlton manager had set up an impromptu “MASH unit,” stocked with medicine from a nearby Walgreens and manned by more than a dozen doctors. She said there was more than enough medicine and doctors to see to him if he had truly ever been ill.

If only he’d stuck to writing fiction.
In 2011, Lyin’ Brian Williams wrote a piece for which USA Weekend used this headline:
Williams looks back on being a volunteer fireman and the wildfire of good he hopes to set now
You may find that making a difference for others makes the biggest difference in you.“On the day I became eligible, I signed up to be a volunteer firefighter in my hometown of Middletown, NJ. … My firehouse was a modest engine company — three engines, three garage doors and about 30 of the best men I’ve ever known. We fought all the usual fires that break out in the suburbs: brush fires, car fires, dumpsters, dryers, light fixtures — and worst of all, the occasional house, already in flames when we arrived. I remember one such house fire — the structure was fully involved with flames and smoke. I was wearing a breathing apparatus, conducting a search on my hands and knees, when I felt something warm, squishy and furry on the floor of a closet. I instinctively tucked it in my coat. When I got outside, I saw two small eyes staring up at me, and I returned the 3-week-old (and very scared) puppy to its grateful owners.”
According to Jordan Schachtel, a graduate of Monmouth County Fire Academy, there are more inconsistencies in Williams’s story than just how many puppies he allegedly rescued.
First and most compelling is that Williams’s own bio says, “While in high school, he was a volunteer firefighter for three years at the Middletown Township Fire Department.” According to Schachtel, volunteer fire departments do not let anyone go near a fire until they are at least eighteen years of age.
“A brush fire is one thing, but a house fire with flames and smoke blowing out of every window is an entirely different ballgame.”
Even if he’d ever been allowed inside a house on fire, his description of opening up his coat “violated basic protocol and common sense”, making it highly unlikely Williams was ever trained in search and rescue, much less allowed inside a burning house.
Also, Williams said he volunteered for an engine company. Searching for victims is the job of a truck or ladder company, not an engine company, though Schachtel admits that in a small fire department, such duties may not be so sharply defined.
Maybe what really happened is that Teen Brian was put on some safe duty, like keeping gawkers behind the line, and he saw a fire fighter save a dog and then fantasized about how it was he who had crawled into the hot smoke and had the grateful (and no doubt attractive) dog owner gush her thanks all over him.
