"I keep reading postings about how Trump firing the head of the FBI is 
an assault on democracy, or the American way of life, or something. The 
front page of the Huffington Post is hysterical with cries for the need 
to investigate Russian hacking. I have had three friends (sic) refuse to 
discuss this with me when I questioned their sanity in believing the 
russian hacking narrative. Not argue it...but refuse to argue it. Not 
one, but three. There is no evidence of anything out of the ordinary 
here. If there were, trust me we would have heard about it by now.

"So what I take from this is that the white establishment....to which 
the aforementioned friends belong, really, is in crises. If Obama had 
fired the head of the FBI what would the reaction have been? (the answer 
is nothing.)

"But how is the US/Saudi assault on a defenceless Yemen not an assault 
on Democracy? I mean congress didnt authorize it did they? Or how is the 
orgy of state murder in Arkansas...including the suppression of new 
evidence that might have exonerated one of the men executed.....how is 
that not an assault on Democracy? How is the illegal assassination of 
Qadaffi not an assault on Democracy or the coup orchestrated by Clinton 
as secretary of state in Ukraine not an assault on Democracy? How is the 
coup in Honduras or the current attacks on Venezuela not ....well...you 
get the idea. How is the war on Syria.....and it is ON SYRIA.....how is 
that not cause for outrage? None of these things matter to liberal 
America. Dead Arab children....pshaw...can't be bothered. The execution 
of mentally impaired men, from the underclass, denied adequate 
representation....meh, cant be bothered. BUT....but when Trump fires the 
head of a notoriously corrupt organ of surveillance and arrest and 
worse.....an organization founded to quell dissent and rid the nation of 
commies and minority troublemakers......how am I supposed to care 
exactly?"
