1. Not only does the FBI have separate divisions

they have 35,000 employees in total. Only a handful of special appointees are working on the Russia investigation.

(And, if you think 35,000 is a huge amount of people, the NYC police department has 40,000 employees in total. So, 35,000 for the entire country versus 40,000 for a city of 8 million.)

2. Assuming Trump knows how our government works is an error in thinking.

3. I loves me some Joy Reid

4. Good one!

[BSdetect]

5. How can such a dumbass ever even run as a candidate for POTUS? Thanks to the GOP idiots.

[elmac]

7. GOP has a long history of running dumbasses for office

they can be controlled easier by the wall street bankers, the rich elite.

6. Trump plays to the ignorance of the American people

of which there is a huge amount.

11. LOL! If Trump's talents include

amusing dumb folks, he may well have been Right about his inaugural audience being the bigliest such gathering ever! There's such a wealth of "stupid" out there for him to draw from. The FBI should be in hot pursuit of all the photoshoppers that have tried to steal Trump's thunder!

15. he preys on them, too

8. Once again I ask...

WHAT WAS THE FBI SUPPOSED TO DO?

If the cops had been called on this person (and it sounds like it was mostly when he was a juvenile) but there was nothing even on those calls to raise a flag when he went to buy the firearms, WHAT WAS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO DO?

[Plucketeer]

10. Great, great point

Our supposed freedoms once afforded us the right to be deemed innocent until proven guilty. That whole ideal went south with the 1950s. Now it's "Guilty until proven innocent" if you even just LOOK suspicious. And fate forbid - you harbor any criminal thoughts, protest in groups or happen to be wearing the wrong shade of skin!

12. Joy Reid is correct about trump being ignorant

[niyad]

13. quite apart from the accuracy of Joy's response, a comment to dimwit--

dear dimwitted orange disgrace,

the MANY signals the fbi supposedly missed? ONE tip. ONE.

[Cha]

14. Mahalo, Joy! Surely the fuck

Benedict Donald knows that, right?

16. When you're on the toilet, after some junk food

clearly one is at their most cogent....
