Dumpster fire:

ESPN Suspended Linda Cohn, Let Jemele Hill Slide
According to multiple sources inside ESPN — Cohn declined comment when reached by Outkick — ESPN president John Skipper called Cohn and screamed at her for having the gall to share her opinion in public and told her to stay at home instead of coming to work that weekend. Why was Cohn to stay at home? So, according to an irate John Skipper, she could have time to think about what she had said.

When Outkick reached out to ESPN seeking comment on the Cohn story, ESPN’s PR staff refused to explain anything about the decision, responding via email: “The last time we responded with an explanation, you called us liars.”

If it's not already been mentioned.

Bannon got it 100% right and on the mark:
Stephen K. Bannon believes the firing of FBI Director James B. Comey by President Trump was the biggest mistake “maybe in modern political history.”

“I don’t think there’s any doubt that if James Comey had not been fired,” Bannon told interviewer Charlie Rose, “we would not have a special counsel.”

“We would not have the Mueller investigation in the breadth that clearly Mr. Mueller is going,” he added, referring to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s appointment to investigate any possible connection between Trump or his campaign with Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

So true.

If Trump had just kept his cool, the FBI would have later produced a result to the inquiry that "yes, Russia was active in the 2016 elections" like a year or two from now. But no. One of the biggest fuckups somebody has done...

I don't agree. Comey proved he was not a competent or unbiased leader. Justification was there, yes there is Fallout, so what. Comey wasn't doing a good job.

And I'm highly suspect that there would not have been a Special Counsel. Firing Comey was merely an excuse, not the reason. The reason is intolerance of the establishment for an outsider.

+1 Good Article, I didn't even know Cohn was fired. She was pretty good.
The article doubles down on what the guy from OKTC said, lots of pissed espn employees who can't speak up publicly, as they will lose their job.
Another employee recently contacted Outkick and said, “I pretend I’m a Democrat so I can keep my job here. And there are others just like me. We’re like a secret society inside ESPN.”

Check this out, Article Title "Celebrities show Solidarity with Hills comments,
But the only recognizable name is shit head Kaepernick. :roll:

What outsider? You think those Goldman Sachs guys and other billionaires Trump administration is formed are outsiders? And what intolerance? Trump's pro-NATO, went for adding troops to Afghanistan. Eased financial rules for Wall Street. In reality, Trump hasn't posed any threat to the establishment. Some Ron Paul might have. But Trump's no Ron Paul.

Oh It's quite sure there wouldn't have been any special counsel. Bannon is totally right. At least as long as the GOP ruled Congress. If you didn't notice, the GOP was systematically declining any investigations on Trump and the Russians before the Comey firing. Russians yes, Trump no, that was the GOP line. If the Dems would somehow win huge and control both houses after the next midterms and then start to rehash the thing, it would have been quite old then.

And do you think that the FBI liked to do investigation that basically then states that they were asleep at their watch? The establishment likely would want this embarrassing thing to go away.

But as Trump didn't even go with the figleaf given to him by the administration when firing Comey (which even then could have avoided the mess), but went on publicly on television saying that the Comey firing was about "Russia thing" and hence contradicted his DOJ official Rosenstein, to have any credibility after that Rosenstein had to appoint Mueller.

And lastly, why on Earth would Comey would have been bad for Trump? The democrats hated his guts. Comey wouldn't have wanted to make an issue of the Russia thing. That can be seen from the current FBI director, he took the job as he was promised he wouldn't have to touch the subject even with a ten feet pole as Mueller is on it.

We're already seeing how Mueller is on this case: they already found the Don Jr "I love it!" meeting with the Russians where Junior has now given, what, five different versions on how the meeting went. This kind of meeting would extremely unlikely have come up of the normal FBI investigation.

The only President to not have any employment in the US Government in 240 years. What's more outsider than that? Trump broke the glass ceiling, he was more of an outsider than Washington, Lincoln or Teddy.

Russia, Russia, Russia.................. all started from a fake dossier, first funded by Clan Bush, then bought by Clan Clinton, then brought to the US Govt and Comey via McCain. I'm surprised you're not doubling down on the Golden Showers in that report.

Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, all FBI, all part of the Intel community that brought you Libyan destruction, arming Syrian Rebels(ISIS), Yellow Cake....... you give these clowns credibility ? Oh, but this time Mueller is really on to showing us the truth. How do you trust that bunch, simply because the reinforce your bias on Trump ?
