Karma's a basterisktch, Mr. Comey

Well, as a rational, skeptical humanist I don't actually believe in "karma" but I CAN foresee some consequences of skullduggery and then recognize them when they occur. And I can justifiably cheer them when they do.

You took it upon yourself, Mr. Comey, to culminate your thirty year quest for Mrs. Clinton's hide by deliberately sinking her presidential campaign, and it didn't even matter that you had to violate your own Department's code of ethics to do it.

You chose a vile madman to lead this country, oblivious to his dangers, for the sake of your own political biases. And now you're being stalked by that same madman. Oops.... did I say "same madman"? He's not the same at all... he's much more powerful now than previously, thanks to YOU. YOU created this monster and it's only fair that YOU should be his primary victim, and even though the monster must be slayed for the good of everyone else I can't find it within myself to feel even an ounce of pity for YOU.

Second, you don't seem to have any idea what the hell is going on re: paragraph three.

I suspect this post will not be long here.

What do you feel I have wrong in paragraph three?

Comey's not being stalked? Cheeto is not a monster? What?

And I modified it to basterisktch. Does that pass your muster?

This is quite silly.

We have to hope he was acting with integrity and honor relative to the actual large scale criminal take over of our country.

But, as you accurately noted, his Clinton derangement got the best of him TWICE and played a bit role in enabling the takeover.

If Comey had spent his time busting VRA violators and addressing impediments to voting he'd have a legacy he could actually be proud of. Oh and a job and a boss who isn't insane.

Yes he was yesterday's man and now he's out of a job and the Trump family has added the WH to their list of properties.

What an interesting post given the circumstances...Trump miscalculated that Dems would approve of his Tuesday night Massacre...we don't.
