I think it's less that he doesn't know how time zones work, and more that he doesn't understand why that means he can't call the leader of Japan.
Do you really think that though? I mean, seriously. The guy is not wise, but this is toddler-level basic knowledge.

How many thousands of conference calls you bet he's been on with project managers in the flipped time zones?
I think he understands time zones

I find it believable though that he calls Abe in the middle of the night because:

A) he’s impulsive and is the poster child for adult ADHD and
B) he gives two shits about other people’s feeling or well being and has zero qualms waking someone up in the middle of the night

I doubt that. Trump aside he was found to be breaking multiple FBI rules in regards to not only his relationship with Lisa Page, but other things as well.

If an agent unrelated to this investigation was found to have done the stuff Strozk did he gets fired and none of us hear about it.

Trump's Omarosa tweet is incredible. He said:

She's wacky
Other WH employees hated her
She was vicious
She's not smart
She was nasty to people
She was late to work and missed meetings constantly

But he wanted a man who said she was a loser and nothing but problems to keep her employed because she said great things about Trump. :lol:

The FBI has fired Peter Strzok, the counterintelligence agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trump and other political figures during the 2016 election.

That's good. I suppose now they can turn their attention to the Pro-Trump NY FBI office that was leaking stuff to Rudy Giuliani.

I'm sure we'll see the release of those guys' private text messages.

If they were stupid enough to do it on their government phone.

I believe Strzok's was a personal phone. So not sure that matters when hunting for partisan bias at the FBI

These texts were saved on the fbi’s server. So at least one was using a government phone.

Party’s over.

Agent Peter Strzok was just fired from the FBI - finally. The list of bad players in the FBI & DOJ gets longer & longer. Based on the fact that Strzok was in charge of the Witch Hunt, will it be dropped? It is a total Hoax. No Collusion, No Obstruction - I just fight back!

From Trump->Sessions->Wray->deputy director is probably how the firing order rolled downhill.

Parking lot shooter charged in Florida 'stand your ground' case
Prosecutors charged Michael Drejka, the man accused of killing Markeis McGlockton in a shooting that has reignited a debate around Florida’s stand your ground law, with manslaughter Monday.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Drejka was taken into custody Monday morning. He will be booked into the Pinellas County Jail this afternoon.

Drejka, 47, has avoided arrest since he shot 28-year-old McGlockton on July 19 because of the controversial self-defense law that eliminated one’s duty to retreat before resorting to force.

Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced July 20 that his agency was precluded from arresting Drejka because evidence showed it was "within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified," which provides immunity from arrest, the sheriff said. He forwarded the case Aug. 1 to the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney’s Office to make a final charging determination.

State Attorney Bernie McCabe’s decision to charge Drejka signals that prosecutors believe they can show by "clear and convincing" evidence that a stand your ground defense is not applicable in Drejka’s case.

State legislators revised the law last year to put the onus on prosecutors to disprove a stand your ground claim instead of on defense attorneys to prove one.

Yup, Trump ordered it.
Just fired Agent Strzok, formerly of the FBI, was in charge of the Crooked Hillary Clinton sham investigation. It was a total fraud on the American public and should be properly redone!

I thought conflicted Bob Mueller was in charge of the witch hunt?

If an agent unrelated to this investigation was found to have done the stuff Strozk did he gets fired and none of us hear about it.
Maybe
Aitan Goelman, Strzok’s lawyer, said FBI Deputy Director David L. Bowdich ordered the firing on Friday — even though the director of the FBI office that normally handles employee discipline had decided Strzok should face only a demotion and 60-day suspension. Goelman said the move undercuts the FBI’s repeated assurances that Strzok would be afforded the normal disciplinary process.

“This isn’t the normal process in any way more than name,” Goelman said, adding in a statement, “This decision should be deeply troubling to all Americans.”

While I don't doubt he ordered it, I think this is more a case of not using a hyphen, as in 'just-fired Agent Strzok'.
