The POTUS just threatened James Comey on twitter

Just how long is congress going to allow this shit storm to continue? Trump is completely unfit to serve on every level there is.

What the hell???

I don't know why this leaves me with my mouth hanging open, once again. Why does anything he says or does surprise me any more?

So what does obstruction of justice look like? Asking for Comey's loyalty........ He's not the godfather!!

My DH keeps saying Trump is running the presidency like the mafia. He's the mob boss and surrounds himself with family and close others who have pledged their undying loyalty.

So he is admitting that Comey might have incriminating evidence against him on tape? I feel the need for popcorn...

I'm confused.

Is he implying that he, Trump, has taped their conversations and will release them if Comey talks to the media? And that he feels there is something incriminating against Comey if he releases them?

Or is he implying that he thinks Comey taped their conversations against his will/without his permission and he will take action if those come out?

"The president is simply out of control — and there’s no hope of reeling him in."

“This becomes a firestorm of whether or not Trump is tampering with an investigation and obstruction of justice and risking impeachment,” she said. “This is all illustrative of the fact that no one can stop President Trump. No one can say pause for 36 hours, let’s think about the consequences of running your mouth to Lester Holt, or tweeting Rosie O’Donnell on the same day. No one can stop this.”


Not even Ivanka can stop him.

It seems too late for that, and I was wondering this morning: what else is there that after he admits obstruction of justice on national television, throws his whole administration under the bus doing so, and meets with a Russian spy in the oval office, they double down saying there's no need for independent investigation or special prosecutor? What are they worried about that is worse than what we already know?

Another thought I had this morning: at this point, they are now trapped. They can't quit and walk away from this. I take comfort in this at least. Example: Jeff Sessions' career is probably over, and that's assuming he's even a free man in a few years. Donald Trump is the only one in the WH with enough wealth to somewhat protect him. Everyone else will feel the repercussions for the rest of their lives, most likely.

Can they really think this will go away, given that their leader is quickly becoming unhinged and just says whatever he wants no matter what he said 10 minutes ago?

Threatening a witness in a federal investigation, on social media?

Seriously I can't get my head around the fact that this person is actually POTUS.

Is POTUS actually invoking the Nixon "tapes" in an attempt to insulate himself???

Indeed confusing.

I read it as preemptively calling Comey a liar, and warning him that there just might be means by which to counter his lies.

But preemptively calling somebody a liar is a new one, even for our guy, so who knows?

I think a very conservative reaction would be that this is indeed a provocative move. (I don't mean politically conservative.)

I think I'm going to need a seatbelt. Seems like the ride is going to be bumpier from here on out.

I am so angry, disgusted and discouraged that our politicians think "Political party first, country second." Do any of them even give a damn about our country anymore? Especially the Republicans. Useless bunch of space and air. If they truly cared about our country, they'd be impeaching Trump now.

I agree!
