Too soon.

Former FBI Director James Comey is one of the most polarizing political figures of the decade.

He's widely reviled by Conservatives for criticism against his former boss, President Donald Trump. Trump's decision to fire Comey while the then-FBI director was investigating Trump campaign officials' correspondence with Russia was seen by many—including Comey himself—as possible obstruction of justice.


Not to mention, Democrats haven't forgotten Comey's public announcement right before the 2016 election that a new batch of emails from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton had been discovered, reinvigorating doubts about Clinton's security practices despite a years-long investigation that found no criminal wrongdoing. The emails turned out to be innocuous, but many believe the announcement was the deciding factor in Donald Trump's 2016 upset victory, including Hillary Clinton herself.

Nevertheless, Comey decided to tweet this on the first of April:

As it turns out, two and a half years wasn't enough time to mend the wounds of the 2016 election. The tweet was seen by many as insult to the injury of two Novembers ago.

It appears the FBI is no longer employing the same scrutiny against private email servers that embroiled Hillary Clinton in years' worth of controversy.

Since Trump took office, his son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner has communicated with foreign leaders through WhatsApp. Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, has frequently used a private email address since her father's inauguration. Just today, a whistle-blower at the White House revealed that the President reversed 25 security clearance denials—a move that experts have called "insane."

People begged Comey to stop.

Hopefully Comey learned that some things aren't to be joked about—even on April Fools day.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
