Are These People Just Stupid, Tone Deaf, or What!

[WiffenPoof]

I see red anytime some Trump spokes-hole says that they are stunned by the reaction of the blowback on Coney. They typically say...After all, they hated Comey for what he did to Clinton. We just can't understand why they (the Dems) are so upset.

It's simple stupid. Yes, the Dems were and are pissed off at what Comey did to Clinton. But that is a separate issue from the firing of a person who is investigating you. I repeat. Dems were pissed about what Comey did 11 days before the election. They still are. But that has nothing to do with the action the President took to fire a person who is investigating his collusion with the Russians.

Why can't they see this. Or do they think we are that stupid. This is bush league crap and not worthy of the Office of the President.

I wish these talking heads would point out the difference when Repugs try and make the point that Dems were upset with Comey so why are they so upset about him being fired.

1. They think Americans are stupid.

2. Simple pandering to the base.

If they tell a lie often enough, there is an idiot out there who will believe it.

Your comment is absolutely correct in that we need commentators who will point out the real from the imaginary.

3. They're just under orders.

That tends to sound stupid and tone-deaf.

4. Adult vs child

An adult can understand the complexity of a situation and can be angry with someone for something they did but still like that person. A child sees the world differently which is why they will scream "I hate you" at their mommy when they are told it's bedtime.

6. sometime you fall in love with the wrong persons and while all your friends tell you this person is

awful....you remain

because not only must you admit that this person is awful
you also have to admit you were wrong

and that is a bitter pill

7. It's like Trump's "letter" to Comey

Trump is obviously a moron, so I'm not surprised that he would want to put "Thanks for telling me three times that I'm not being investigated" in the letter to Comey. Of course he did. He's an idiot. But there was not a single person his his "brain trust" that could look and that and say "Ya know, putting something like that in a letter like this looks really bad, Mr. President."? Of course maybe they did and he wrote it anyway. Neither scenario helps me sleep at night.

11. This Is An Excellent Point

It is so immature of Trump to include that part about being told he was not being investigated. How childish. This just shows how ignorant this administration is.

Something must be done.

8. In a bubble.

All they listen to is Faux, Rush, Brietbart, etc. And given all RW media sites toe the line, they think:

1. Trump did win by a bigger margin than reported due to "voter fraud" and thus, Dems are in trouble 2018.

2. Think Obama was hugely corrupt...so anything they do is in the gray area.

3. Think CNN, MSNBC are fake news who don't report the truth and only lazy liberals listen to it.

I could go on, but in short. They've fallen for their own scam.

9. The Blowback Was Exactly The Reason. . .

. . .Obama didn't fire Comey over the email fiasco and his unprofessional and unethical commentary.

They probably convinced themselves that Obama didn't do it because he was chicken.

12. Trump is the pied piper of imbeciles

He's taken them down the rabbit hole of Breitbart and Alex Jones and now they are stuck down in whacko ville . They can't see what's in front of their own face.

The republican leadership knows this and is taking advantage of some really ignorant people to save their own skins.
