No because Comey is still a piece of shit. He is not suddenly a good guy because of this. Frenemy at best.

Comey is a certified Lockheed shill. His uncanny ability to get right in the cross fire of left right conflict is disruptive at best.

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'd normally agree, but fuck Comey. His choice to reopen the investigation into Clinton and loudly announce it two days before the election is why we're in the situation we're in. He blatantly used his position to help Trump win. Just because he has buyer's remorse doesn't mean he's not a traitorous piece of shit.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Comey is part of the reason we're here. He put his thumb on the scale a week before the election causing the dipshit to win.

He fucked the country. The problem is see with a. Lot of liberals is that anyone who remotely has a correct take on standing up to a terrible piece of shit, suddenly redeems all their past crimes against humanity. Him posting a cheesy photo to get attention before his book release doesn't undo the fact that he cause this shit.

This photo isn't an alliance.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

This blows my mind..

"His crime was resisting political pressure from both sides.'

His crime was trying to be objective and impartial?

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's not what he did. At all. There was plenty of evidence on Trump's Russian compromise. No investigation. But reopening a random investigation into emails, which had already been closed...which was something the entire bush administration did, the entire trump admin later did...one week before the election and immediately closing it is fucking bullshit. There was zero point to that other than influencing the election

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm just pointing out the wording there. I'm not at all saying comey didn't botch it, but on its face we WANT prosecutors to ignore both sides and focus on what the facts.

I was trying to say its a crazy bonkers world when judicial isnt expected to ignore political parties.

Sorry for the confusion, i am not talker good

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And, like I just said but you ignored, he did not pay used to both sides. He ignored the one and attacked the other.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dude, what is it that you arent understanding here.

I quoted and am talking about one specific sentence YOU said. That taken on its own, are mind blowing words, even if only in isolation.

"His crime was resisting political pressure from both sides"

That sentence on its own, taken as is, is bonkers crazy to think that we would ever want judicial to bow to political pressure when it is prosecuting someone.

Normally, that is exactly what we hope happens in a judicial setting, isn't it?

So if we are in a place where YOU claim it was a crime, that is absolutely wild and mind blowing to be experiencing that situation.

Thats it man, thats all im saying.

Im not arguing about what comey actually did or didnt do, im commenting on the situation as YOU presented it.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The part YOU'RE not getting is that you are actively wrong. He bored too political pressure within his own agency to reopen an already closed case. Which directly affected the outcome of the election.

You keep trying to pretend he did this for apolitical reasons, but that is false. This is the prosecutor, that after failing to convict for insider trading the first female billionaire, made up some idiotic charges to get her anyway on "obstruction" of the non crime... Years later kneecapped the would be first female president, and you're defending his actions as not bowing to political pressure.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you mental?! It's YOUR claim! YOUR words! For fuck sakes im done with you

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Good. Go away.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

lol…are you seriously getting mad at dems for being too democratic?

You talk like people would just suddenly stop saving the world just because a person, who forgot to recycle that one time, agreed.

You don’t require to be all in the same car to drive to the same destination. Not all things must be a partisan.

Partisanship and coalitions are too black and white. It’s all based on agreeing 100% of the time. Just look at the right: Kissing the ring is a purity test. That is the opposite of democracy. It’s bound to failure for every reason you just pointed out: it overlooks way too much just to serve the most powerful few to keep it all in one party.

In fact if anything: this whole ‘everything needs to be a coalition and partisan’ is where a lot of the main issues started. People are way more complicated than that. You will never ever have everyone agree to all things all the time. In democracy disagreement is a feature. Not a bug. Dems are not wrong for breaking off and fracture. that is what democracy is. They can agree on some things and keep checks on other things. The meaning behind checks and balances. That’s by design.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 46 points 2 months ago

I wouldn’t do it out of solidarity with that jackass; I’d do it because it’s funny and it pisses off MAGAts.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Should we be pointing out 8646 tshirts have been on Amazon for years? The answer is fucking YES.

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Honestly it's kind of dumb.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Idk there's a lot of pissed off restaurant workers out there who can appreciate it

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

Reposting, up upvoting does shit. We should protest. There are refuse fascism protests organized on May 17: https://refusefascism.org/2025/05/04/trumpmust-go-now-may-actions/

You can also use https://mobilize.us/ to find a nearby protests near you.

This is not because of Comey (as others pointed he is a piece of shit), but if they will go after him, they will go after us too.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Well if Comey comes through on this one, we’ll let bygones be bygones, howabout that. Clock’s tickin’, Jimmy.

[–] CrayonDevourer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I bought an 8647 vinyl decal for the back of my car; in Florida. I'm sure to get my window smashed out, we'll see how it goes.

[–] boolean_sledgehammer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

What a lovely arrangement of shells.

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

No, because it's just getting attention for his new book.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I have an account on another social media platform whose name is an anagram of “[unalive] to trump.” Well, not the word unalive but a ~~four~~ five letter word of the same meaning. Nobody has figured it out yet.

Not that I’d ever physically harm anyone. I’m not violent. But I will celebrate with gusto on the day he becomes unalive no matter the cause (massive aneurism is my bet).

[–] Krelis_@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is the word "KILL" not allowed here?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

“Death” was the word I was trying to impart, but I didn’t want to trigger any mods with the whole phrase. I just realized I can’t count to five either. Oops. Man I need to take a break.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought Jennies number started with 8 6 7 4? Must be a typo.

[–] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

867-5309

[–] asg101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

I would like to see 47187ed instead, 86 is too lenient.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

47 should be 86'd, primarily because the genocide that Israel is committing in Palestine (which resembles the genocide the nazis committed against the Jews in WWII) has intensified a lot under Trump. Of course the underlying problem is Zionism, which is inherently a colonial project, and Zionism as an ideology has about as much right to exist as Nazism. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, and a good first step would be to 8647.

[–] XnxCuX@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I mean I hate the guy a lot... unless shits being more suppressed than prior, it doesn't seem any more or less evil on Israel's part atm.

Will it get worse under trump? Absolutely but he hasn't moved to wipe them out of Gaza yet for trump resort Palestine
