"You're Fired!" The line that made the then reality star and real estate mogul famous, is still the go-to line for his current career path as the new leader of the free-world. President Donald Trump is no stranger to living out the uncomfortable moments most executive leaders struggle with in their managerial careers, which is to fire someone. President Trump is known for not having a filter on his mouth and this time Comey and a string of other White House official's lives will be interrupted by this "novice" (new) politician developed overnight who entered the industry as Head Poncho. Whoever said you couldn't buy your way into the White House probably never thought that statement could ever be challenged, at least until now, according to some of White House staff, their affiliates, and allegedly some Russian allies. Sorry Mr. Comey, nothing personal but clearly no one is safe.

So this is the dumbed-down version of what is going on!

July 2nd 2016: Hillary Clinton was under investigation for the mishandling of classified emails. Bill, her husband [who probably sees Hillary's opportunity to be President as his second chance to boss this nation the right way]meets with attorney general at the time, Loretta Lynch, to have a private unscheduled meeting with her. He meets her at an airport in the area in front of whatever private plane she was supposed to be traveling on. Some say he even got on the flight with her to talk. [Believable, I mean that is his former colleague and comrade]. People assume it was there where they discussed how to handle this email issue in regards to the election and Hillary and Bill's plan to get her to speak to the FBI Dept aka the Bureau to go easy on the investigating process. The conversation probably came down to understanding that Hillary Clinton was a little too negligent but not in a sneaky way like a traitor or anything but more of a "I never planned on being the President of the United States" so it wasn't that serious to me kind of way. So Lynch got back to DC, more than likely spoke to Comey and told them to loosen up or be stuck with Trump.

on July 5th, 2016: Comey stepped to the media and said (in my proper mock of an articulate politically correct voice), "We are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case" simply put, it ain't that serious ya'll. Then he went on to say that they were going to close the Hillary Clinton's email case.

August 22, 2016; Trump calls for a special prosecutor to look into the matter.

Comey spends all of September defending the Bureau and all of its decisions regarding the Clinton's case to only comeback 8 days before the election and in a letter to Congress say he is re-opening the investigation because he have found "new" evidence that "hundreds and thousands" of her emails were being forwarded from her aide using her, now estranged [meaning she don't talk to the man], husband's computer. The aide and her husband that Comey is even referring to are no longer together because he, a former Congressman, was caught having an affair with a teenage girl online.[These people really got a lot going on, I know. Reality soap opera rated RR, V, RX, R in HD shoot all the consonants].

Comment. Can Comey even do this?! I mean isn't that like double jeopardy. Like dude you already closed the case, you charged as not guilty. Isn't it too late. To the surprise of so many Americans, many people feel like Comey's decision to re-open the case is what led to what many people believe cost Hillary the election, and now led to what cost him his job.

Keep reading the story gets juicier.

November 6: Comey drops a disclaimer that Hillary Clinton will not face criminal charges regardless of what new evidence they find (I guess this is where the protection of Double Jeopardy comes in).

November 8: Trump wins the election [Democrats head lowers, lifts back up with vicious eyes to Director Comey].

November 12:Clinton tells her donors that it was Comey's fault she lost the race. He was to blame for all the money they wasted investing in her campaign.

November 13: Trump shows early signs of consideration to dismiss Director Comey while on an interview on CBS "60 minutes". [Trump realizes that Comey is an over doer and probably don't trust him because everyone knows Trump is a firm believer of bending the rules].

January 6: Comey is on to his next case after the emails scandal. [darn Comey how dare he actually do his job.]Comey alongside four top US Intelligence officials is briefing President-elect, at the time, Trump on allegations that Russia meddled in the election on his behalf. They also assure the president that he was not currently under investigation. One of three times Comey had to announce that disclaimer.

January 20: Trump is inaugurated.

January 26: The temporary attorney general Sally Yates, who is covering for the last attorney general, Lynette Lynch who was recently fired (probably because of that conversation she had with Bill Clinton) gossips ***clears throat*** I mean, notifies the White House counsel, Don McGahn (the guy responsible for telling the President what he and his administration can or cannot do in regards to the law), that Michael Flynn is in the hot seat because FBI is questioning him about his communications with the Russians and could possibly be blackmailed because he was lying about his dealings.

January 26 (later that day): McGahn runs and tells Trump what Yates just told him.

January 27: Trump and Comey have a man to man, sit-down, at a private dinner. It's a 'he say he say' on who invited who. According to Trump, Comey invited him to dinner to ask him to keep his job and to re-assure him that he was not under investigation. According to Comey, Trump invited him to dinner where he asked Comey to pledge his loyalty. [Comey story in my opinion makes more sense in this instance because at this time Comey was not fired yet, so I can not see why he would want to meet with Trump in private against White House policies to ask for a job he had not yet lost or to re-iterate a statement he had already made. It's not like he was the novice but what do I know, I am just a writer. I digress].

February 13: Flynn resigns after it became known that he lied to Mike Pence (US Vice President ya'll) regarding his communications with the Russian ambassador (the person who lives in Russia and represent US interests in Russia in any shape or form).

February 14: In a meeting with Comey and a couple others, Trump asked them to step out so that he and Comey can be alone. While alone, Trump asked Comey to drop the investigation on Flynn. Comey, aware of the inappropriateness in the request broke out his pen and paper to jot down notes from the meeting [assumingly in efforts to cover his behind]. Trump was probably feeling like, 'There you go again Comey, you over doing your job man. It's Valentines Day dude, relax!'

February 15: Comey tells Attorney General (top Attorney above every attorney in the US) that he does not ever want to be left alone with Trump.

March 4: President Trump try to find Comey something else to do so he claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones during the election and orders the FBI to investigate that.

March 4: Mr. Comey doesn't go for the bait and tells the Department of Justice to publicly tell Trump no, but the department does not do it.

March 20: Comey clearly shows that he is not buying the wiretapped story, and that he is not letting up on the Russian meddling case. Back to business as usual, annoying the freak out of Trump.

March 30: Trump gives Comey a chance to diffuse the situation and back up. He calls him and ask him to make a public announcement that he is not being investigated. Comey chooses not to. Truth of the matter is, Director Comey did not want to tarnish his name any more than he already had by seeming to always make mistakes. Back in the Hilary Clinton investigation he had to come back and correct the fact that he over exaggerated the number of emails they found between Mrs. Clinton and her aide while using her estranged husband's laptop. So surely, Director Comey did not want to relive that again in case he had to go back and say, 'I know I said we were not investigating Trump, well my bad-again, now we are.' Of course that is not Trump's concern, he is just focused on doing what he can to clear up his name.

May 3: Comey testifies on Capitol Hill regarding the emails and how it was handled. Director Comey says publicly how "It makes him mildly nauseous to think he might have impacted the elections."

May 7: Director Comey's statements on Capitol Hill left the President raging. By this point he was fed up with Comey and now have lost his patience.

May 8:President Trump meets with Attorney General (remember the top attorney above all attorneys in the US) Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General (second in command to the Attorney General) Rod J. Rosenstein to discuss the dismissal of Comey.

May 9:Trump fires Comey via a formal letter delivered to his office by one of Trump's bodyguards. Comey is away on corporate travel visiting a FBI field office in LA.

May 9: The Secretary Press, Sean Spicer, who can not openly discuss ANY White House affairs without clear instruction and approval to release a statement, openly states that Mr. Trump's decision is based on "clear recommendations" by Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein.

May 9:Comey finds out about his firing on the television news report (ever wondered a way to fire an employee worse than to text, here you have it).

May 9 and May 10: Both Mr. Pence (USA Vice President) and Mr. Spicer (Secretary Press) both said on two separate occasions that President Trump fired Comey completely due to the recommendations he received from Sessions and Rosenstein and charged them with the responsibility of justifying the purpose of Comey's termination.

Not to long after:President Trump contacts his Russian friends in a sigh of relief like, 'I got rid of the fool that was on our trail. He was applying to much pressure but don't worry I off'd his behind (in my Trump trying to sound gangster voice)'.

At a news conference in front of the White House: President Trump was asked about his tweet saying that Director Comey's testimony vindicated (proved him right) him. The President simply said, no Collusion (secret illegal cooperation or conspiracy), no obstruction (to build an obstacle or stumbling block), He's a leaker (political correct way to say he is a snitch!).

Then Poor Sara Huckabee, the nice conservative, law-abiding, American political aide, sweetheart who serves as the White House spokeswoman has to face the grizzly media and nation in an effort to balance a sweet and affirmative voice. As she has to keep coming out to clean up the confusion regarding the dirty smells that are coming from the White House, the heavily perfumed horse manure coming from the Executive Branch that she is called to represent is just her job to come to the American people and politely feed them what sound like justified answers to the conundrums that is being stirred up behind those white picket fences in the heart of the capitol territory of our nation.

Stay tuned guys there is more. The next episode of The Tales of Elite Muckracking will have you falling out of your seat.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
