And people are ok with that?
Got it. This must be Amuricah.
You must forgive me 1984, I'm an old man with limited experience in 'meme' culture and
I'm not quite sure of the significance of a cartoon rendering in a subject, unless it's for levity.
Personally, I'm 'okay with it' because I know Presidents, Prime Ministers and all types of ruling
regimes come and go and I've never taken it personally anyway.
As far as the word 'Amuricah' I don't know what that means, but I can guess that it's a slur on
some regional accents of the United States and again, I can only believe it's to keep this thread's
discussion light-hearted.

I think the dismissal of James Comey is certainly controversial because at a glance, your suggestion
could be seen as the main reason. However, I also can see the damage Mr. Comey's lack of
investigative results has on the decisiveness that the FBI is supposed to enjoy.
I would hope that if there's any indication that previous FBI investigations of Russian collusion had
brought a false verdict, the next FBI Director would look into it. Maybe Trump is a Russian puppet
and only the FBI, close friends and family, several officials, the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi-style
bell-ringers know it.
I just find it odd that all of them are too scared of the man who likes to repeat himself in speechs, to
announce it to the country!
When dealing with agencies who's work is usually done in a clandestine manner, investigations into
reown figures of Government, ex-First Ladies, potential Presidents, Secretaries of State and so on,
announcing an inquiry to the media, foreign countries, allies and enemies is not really a good call.
You alert the person or group that you're wishing to scrutinize, you see?

There's been a strange 'Pick-A-Side' kind of mentality connected with the last US election that has
brought a ramped-up amount outrage, tears and a happiness that for myself, has me quite worried.
The current situation of a President of a country being accused of being a conspiracy-minded
maverick, is an insult to the Presidency, the whole network of governance, the opposing parties,
Journalism and the people of the United States.
I believe some of the factions mentioned deliberately manipulated the electorate of that country
to perceive the election in the manner of a personal 'them-and-us' mentailty.
Would Hillary Clinton have made a good President...? Quite possibly, the agendas would have been
different because of her and her party's preferred dialectic of world politics. But I would suggest that
Mrs. Clinton's administration and the other arms of Government would make sure things would run
basically as they do under the present President's reign.

Comey's removal will be spun to make out Trump took him out at the knees because of the
Russian accusation by the media for it's ratings value and if there's any merit to it, I would
advise anyone reading this that it seems being in the hotel and casino business is an obvious
choice of employment.
If Trump can out-dodge the FBI, grab the White House, make the Democrats look like a bunch
of rich, do-nothing elites, fire the head of the world-famous investigatory agency and do it all from
a golf-cart, the people of America are f*cked.
But there'll be people going to work today because of that administration and I reckon that's where
their priorities will lie. Hopefully, other benefits to the US citizens will come down the dustpipe that
aren't just account-fillers for the political entities and the last super-power can start acting like one.
The FBI didn't fail to find a political-manipulating link between Trump and Putin, the agency just failed
to deliver a decisive answer on Mrs. Clinton's dubious emailing habit and President's Trump being
a Russian puppet. The FBI became politicised and in that enviroment, that's something that makes
you look weak.
If Comey has any idea how the governmental stage-show works, he'd have known his position would
be under threat.
