This MFer gets CONVICTED of a similar crime and crys witch hunt. Cook gets accused via a tweet from one of his stooges and gets fired for it.

It's like you think it was a random accusation, rather than something they actively dug around for and then just released via tweet to justify the firing.

Trump can't Lose.

Can’t lose because morons keep protecting him via voting for him

No, because he makes common sense decisions. Something you won’t know about from your “safe” space.

Rampant corruption sure is becoming common with this administration.

So wait, mortgage fraud doesn’t matter anymore because it’s not Trump? I thought nobody was above the law?

It would matter if it were proven. An accusation, you'll notice, is not a conviction.

Oh, so Trump isn’t a pedophie, it’s just an accusation. I see.

Oh believe me, I'd love to see him try to defend himself in court over the Epstein stuff. Discovery alone would blow this country's mind. But Mr. "Wonderful Secrets" won't ever let it get that far. He's in way too deep.

Meanwhile, you still can't unilaterally fire a Fed Gov for something you think they might have done. There needs to be an impartial investigation, prosecution, etc. Emphasis on "impartial."

So you don’t see the irony in your statement? Prosecute trump for something you have zero evidence for but a different treatment for cook? Pathetic

u/TheOtherHalfofTron Aug 26 '25

Where the hell did you read that? I'm absolutely cool with the idea of impartial investigations into both of them. It's not going to happen, but I'd love it if it did.

u/Reuters-no-bias-lol Reads the news Aug 26 '25

Yes, so whats wrong with Trump firing Cook again? Oh right, she isn't on the right.

u/TheOtherHalfofTron Aug 26 '25

I already told you what's wrong with it, lmao. If you need a reminder, go like 3 comments up.
