Considering the FBI Director is a 10 year term job why in the heck did Obama pick Comey for the job?

Democrats Love James Comey, Obama's Republican Pick to Lead FBI - ABC News

James Comey, the man President Obama is likely to nominate as the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, may be a Republican, but he's near and dear to the hearts of many liberals in Washington.

The former Bush administration official became something of a folk hero for some of the most riveting congressional testimony in history.

"As far as I'm concerned, when the Justice Department lost Jim Comey, it lost a towering figure," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., during that congressional hearing in 2007. And when he said that, Schumer wasn't referring to Comey's 6'8 frame. . .

It seems Pence is as fucking dumb as his boss.

Twattered a couple of times kissing Israel's arse and use the Nicaragua flag instead of theirs!

What a fucking divvy.

That's what he's best at...

Articles: Introducing Mike Pence: Israel?s Best Friend

This is a great article on data manipulation and social engineering. I've never heard of Robert Mercer, but it appears he is the Joseph Goebbels of the modern age.

Just over a week ago, Donald Trump gathered members of the world’s press before him and told them they were liars. “The press, honestly, is out of control,” he said. “The public doesn’t believe you any more.” CNN was described as “very fake news… story after story is bad”. The BBC was “another beauty”.
That night I did two things. First, I typed “Trump” in the search box of Twitter. My feed was reporting that he was crazy, a lunatic, a raving madman. But that wasn’t how it was playing out elsewhere. The results produced a stream of “Go Donald!!!!”, and “You show ’em!!!” There were star-spangled banner emojis and thumbs-up emojis and clips of Trump laying into the “FAKE news MSM liars!”
Trump had spoken, and his audience had heard him. Then I did what I’ve been doing for two and a half months now. I Googled “mainstream media is…” And there it was. Google’s autocomplete suggestions: “mainstream media is… dead, dying, fake news, fake, finished”. Is it dead, I wonder? Has FAKE news won? Are we now the FAKE news? Is the mainstream media – we, us, I – dying?
I click Google’s first suggested link. It leads to a website called CNSnews.com and an article: “The Mainstream media are dead.” They’re dead, I learn, because they – we, I – “cannot be trusted”. How had it, an obscure site I’d never heard of, dominated Google’s search algorithm on the topic? In the “About us” tab, I learn CNSnews is owned by the Media Research Center, which a click later I learn is “America’s media watchdog”, an organisation that claims an “unwavering commitment to neutralising leftwing bias in the news, media and popular culture”.


Another couple of clicks and I discover that it receives a large bulk of its funding – more than $10m in the past decade – from a single source, the hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer. If you follow US politics you may recognise the name. Robert Mercer is the money behind Donald Trump. But then, I will come to learn, Robert Mercer is the money behind an awful lot of things. He was Trump’s single biggest donor. Mercer started backing Ted Cruz, but when he fell out of the presidential race he threw his money – $13.5m of it – behind the Trump campaign.
It’s money he’s made as a result of his career as a brilliant but reclusive computer scientist. He started his career at IBM, where he made what the Association for Computational Linguistics called “revolutionary” breakthroughs in language processing – a science that went on to be key in developing today’s AI – and later became joint CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund that makes its money by using algorithms to model and trade on the financial markets.
One of its funds, Medallion, which manages only its employees’ money, is the most successful in the world – generating $55bn so far. And since 2010, Mercer has donated $45m to different political campaigns – all Republican – and another $50m to non-profits – all rightwing, ultra-conservative. This is a billionaire who is, as billionaires are wont, trying to reshape the world according to his personal beliefs.

That's some scary shit, regardless of who uses it. Democracy is truly dead.

It's been on life support for decades.
All started when us peasants were taught to read. Followed by news papers with specific political agendas. Then along came 24/7 cable news, mass media and the internet. All aided and abetted by unfettered campaign funding laws. Now we have Mercer adding to mix of opinion shapers.

^ The USA is certainly caught in a perfect storm. Big money driving politics in a bizarre directions, Democratic Party the minority and in shambles, and the masses complacent. The checks and balances only work if leadership steps in and acts, but so far it is all banter.

No wonder so many people did not bother to vote, looking at the choices they had.

Many hated Clinton and did not believe anything she was trying to tell them because her credibilty had been destroyed by 30+ years in DC's inner circle. Then they were scared of Trump because of his bombastic personality, lack of political experience and confrontational style.

A lot of people who voted Trump did so just to stop Clinton rather than any fondness of Trump. Now, those on the losing side, including the Clinton biased media, are trying to stop Trump.....

Democracy can be tricky at times.....look at the Netherlands election coming up....they have a choice of 14 different parties with a far right extremist Geert Wilders leading in the polls, but unable to form a government even if he wins...and nobody else wants to form a coalition with him, so they could end up with a total stalemate.....or something of the sort.

At least you guys have the Trump circus working steadily to make American great again, and the entertainment is unbeatable....

Yup, happily biased in favor of the truth where 2 + 2 still equals 4 instead of anything the fuk Trump wants it to be.

I never said there were 100+ MAJORITY Muslim countries.....nor did I day GS did not have a part in the financial crisis. All the Wall St banks had parts to play as well as many other players; .... and there are over 100 countries with significant Muslim populations...with about 50 or so having majorities.....so stop with the silly bullshit and go post something mean and nasty about Trumps wife and "autistic" ten year old son......that's more your style. You even started your very own thread on it. Very manly, very liberal and fair minded of you.... What a total asshole.

.oh and FFS don't forget to pull our your race card again...maybe it got stuck in your pocket or something? You already tried that shit in response to a simple reference to Beaver and Happy days. Did not really get any traction though.....did it?
