There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

What we can't forget? Comey is still indefensible. It is his fault Trump assumed power. Never forget that.
He's not a Trump stooge, but he is a partisan Republican hack who thinks he's the only non-partisan man of integrity around, and as a result he is real Troubled By Other Peoples' Foibles. He probably thought he was giving Crooked Hillary a warning with the letter, and his lies about it in the testimony with Weiner and Abedin are indefensible.
That said, the notion of firing an FBI director investigating you is corruption. Flat out. Bar none.

No, only the Republicans and (especially) the Trumpeteers are. The rest of us are Alice that see and realize that this situation is out of control.
The only difference is, where as Alice was a wanderer who couldn't do much, we can do things. Like vote these vile cretins out of office.

And to state the painfully obvious about Comey's firing, according to Politico, yeah, Trump wanted the Russia investigation to go away.
So, in a follow up from before, Heath Mello lost his mayoral race in Omaha
.
I mean, I think one would have to consider just how many of these people actually live in Omaha.
Oh God! Natural light!It wasn't close. As I understand it he lost by ten points. Anyway, I have no idea how competitive it could have been. I do know that some of Sanders' online fans insisted his endorsement would make it competitive and that that was why it mattered more for Sanders to endorse Mello than Ossof (as it he somehow couldn't have done both).
@Ambar Eeeeeh. Heath lost by 6 points.
That said, Dems lose another race.
Sanders endorsed Ossoff.
