Thanks, Lweji. Those cheered me up, temporarily.

'Cryin' Chuck'.

He should have been more careful. Schumer is a prickly man.

Oooh

Jonathan Weisman @jonathanweisman
Angus King, independent of Maine, suggests Jim Comey be named to head the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation of Trump-Russia ties.

That Angus King is funny.

I don't know him. I guess we'll hear more?

(Like his sense of humour though.)

I imagine the phones in DC are melting with activity today?

Look at this photo he tweeted, with the PM of Georgia.

Why is he sitting down like an arse and the PM standing up as if it was his aid?

All that's needed now is for Moon to reject/start dismantling THAAD.

James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI.
He's awake...

The Democrats have said some of the worst things about James Comey, including the fact that he should be fired, but now they play so sad!

People CNN think could be chosen to replace Comey:

Giuliani
Christie

(no words on those from me...)

Ray Kelly, former commissioner of the New York City Policy Department, also former Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at Treasury and Commissioner of the United States Customs service
John Pistole, president of Anderson University in Indiana, served as deputy director of the FBI under George W. Bush.
Andrew McCabe, current acting director and former deputy director of the FBI

Sorry, the he's awake part was me, not Trump...don't know what happened there - must have been tapped or something

Comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington, Republican and Democrat alike. When things calm down, they will be thanking me!

And he's realised it only now?

Using his words:
Trump said some of the best things about James Comey, including the fact that he was doing a good job, but now he's sacked him!

Thank you, O wise one

They'll be trying to find him now - to distract him away from Twitter.

Trump's panicked. He expected more support for this move re Comey. I expect he is sitting there on his golden throne (toilet) wondering what the fuck he has to do for it all to go away.....

I imagine him hiding in a cupboard tweeting as fast as possible, while everyone is hunting for him round the corridors.

Yes, the Dems are no fan of Comey, but timing is everything. Comey has not yet been fully investigated about his response to the Hilary email hacking, so however much Trump shouts and screams about Hilary everyone will know why Comey was really fired. I imagine every Dem in the land making a face right now.

Who knew that being President was so......complicated, eh?

So if he is impeached and found guilty but refuses to resign, what would happen? Would he get wrestled out of the WH by burly security guards? I'd pay good money to see that Could he go to prison?

Watching Senator Richard Blumenthal speak of Comey is a joke. "Richie" devised one of the greatest military frauds in U.S. history. For....

He's now going to smear any and all high profile people that are arguing against the firing of Comey. He cannot smear them all, and let's face it, he's descending into paranoia now.....

Sessions was told to find a reason to fire Comey: thehill.com/homenews/administration/332651-sessions-was-told-to-find-reasons-to-fire-comey-reports

I recall a recent programme which featured some 'heartland' supporters. Even one of them said - of the tweeting - 'Oh, he should stop all of that'.

....he's descending into paranoia now....? (My bolding.)
