McCain: POTUS has authority to fire Comey.
Every journalist on Twitter: https://t.co/k2ncwE0KdA— Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) May 10, 2017
President Trump fired FBI Director Comey yesterday afternoon, and afterwards David Frum served up this dire warning:
It’s a coup.

It is? Not everybody’s willing to take it to that level:
Like, I know we're supposed to be polite, and Twitter kind of cultivates this rhetoric, but Trump derangement is getting out of hand. https://t.co/5uKMtALV3B

Nope, President Trump is still in charge. https://t.co/Svs1rEtXDe

A coup generally does not consist wholly of a person being fired by a person lawfully empowered to fire them, but who cares about laws? https://t.co/CZXUDvj2Vw

Maybe it depends on what your definition of “coup” is.

This is crazier than a 3AM Saturday morning Trump tirade. Put the twitter down. https://t.co/QEqhO5hvtB

Oh, for God's sake, settle down.

Hey fussy, if it's a coup then are you rethinking your whole fetish for disarming the populace, or are you just being a drama queen today?
