I told ya'll that's how the Feds operate. I expect a few more snitches to pop up as they work there way up the food chain
FINALLY something more substantial than just chomping at the bit!
And now we wait some more.

So it seems the house committee is the only entity denying having received Flynn's offer letter.
Take that as you will, but my assumption is that this means Flynn thinks the house is compromised as well, or Nunes ate the letter as fast as a human could possibly consume paper

Ok so this has me second guessing Flynn's motive here.

Essentially it's a ploy to put public pressure on the committees to free him of any criminal culpability when he's got nothing and knows he's fucked .
This whole thing is such a cluster fuck.

Probably explains why they haven't bitten. They would only bite if he pointed at somebody else higher up the food chain.....
Lmao it's funny these guys really don't realize they are dealing with arguably the best law enforcement branch in the world..... you're not pulling one over on them. You got to basically get down or be laid out.

It's just an opinion. There's others out there that completely suggest otherwise. Either way I think it suggests Flynn is fucked and this was his hail marry.

i think the way it bombed was huge factor as well, but i still didn't really expect it to be that big of a hit
not sure why you're anti- left~tea party tho. seems like its exactly what they need imo. at the very least it'll keep them tied to reality better

You don't get immunity when you don't have anything to offer. It doesn't work like that. You don't sign a paper and then go lol I got nothing.
I don't mind a progressive movement on the left. I just don't want the purity shit. I dont want to miss out on slight peogresss because it's not full blown socialism.

Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!
completely shook lol
By blackace Go To PostCan't wait for Flynn to fall down a flight of stairs onto some bullets
Real talk I wouldn't be eating or drinking anything I didn't prepare myself
Even then
I dunno man
Flynn is done. I think Mannafort, Paige, Woolsey, and Kushner are also gonna be hit with charges very soon
not sure how to judge that
initial thought is he didn't have enough to offer for the immunity to be worth it

Dems have gone for an offensive lately, which for me shows that there's something big coming.
The commitee probably felt that they have substantial proof and that Flynn is a major player in it, so giving him immunity is akin to letting him go scot-free.
Flynn was dumb enough to call the Russian Ambassador when he must have (or should have) known that he is under constant surveillance.
I don't think anyone on Trump's team actually expected to win, and they probably counted on a Clinton administration not following through on prosecution because of the ill will it would create.
The gameplan for most of these people was a cushy spot on Trump TV, Fox News, or Breitbart. Now they actually have to govern? This isn't what they signed up for.

By KingGondo Go To PostIt's a puritanical religious thing, not just conservative Christianity. See countries like Saudi Arabia.
Men and women are capable of being friends. If you don't think you're capable of controlling your penis or if you don't trust your SO enough to allow them to have friends of other genders then you have bigger problems than "guarding yourself against temptation."
Think about the implications of such a mindset when you're in the position of hiring people as Pence is. That's how photos like this happen.
Trump is the most agnostic president in the history of presidents. That room looks like that for reasons that don't have to do with any religion that I know of.

Honestly I know they did a Trump season but I want southpark to do a trump special with Cartman as trump because this asshole trump reminds me of Eric Cartman with the manipulative bullshit that always hurts him worse on the end. Make Butter Pence, Wendy Hilary, and just let it play out.
Also Rubio dropped a bombshell that he was a target for Russia during the RNC primaries (and they are still targeting him &a his staff right now) so now the investigation is looking to see if they can tie trump to Collusion with Russia from early last year.....

Joe Manchin is supporting Gorsuch. Can someone explain to me the value of blue dogs, again? Because I just don't see it, time after goddamn time.

I'm conflicted. Dems dont need Manchin for a filibuster.

Basically he can come in handy on some situations. But yeah they don't need him to Fillibuster. It's still gonna happen and Mcconnells gonna have to decide if it's Gorsuch or if it's having to deal with the backlash of repubs vetoing crazy shit sent to them from the house..... plus they all got to know the Repub Brand is looking real suspect right now
This softball interview and most of his answers are "but the Clinton/Bush/Obama's did this....so"
Also it goes without saying he uses the "lets not investigate too much because we don't want to go to war with Russia" which is the new by line they are using to try and justify avoiding the investigation

It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a “catastrophe.”
Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck. Like millions of other Americans, we clung to a slim hope that the new president would turn out to be all noise and bluster

Who is "US" and "WE"?
The economy is good right now, too. Wait until people realize that things like coal mining jobs aren't coming back even if he rolls back Obama environmental policies and how harmful his impending trade wars are going to be to their wallets.
God forbid there's an actual crisis, either.

I'm pretty impressed that Schumer stuck to his guns on this and held the Dems together on the Gorsuch obstruction. I think a lot of people doubted him and he's been pretty on point so far.
Right wing radio was trying to spin the Coal thing into "Trump really cares" about the people of coal country. The implication was that coal miner will walk happy away from this even though his efforts will be futile. I'm like ... did y'all see the proposed cuts to the Appalachia areas in his upcoming budget? lol

I expect it to be a even bigger shit show than Katrina. Like once Bush inner circle was forced to admit there was a crisis and that he had treated filling the FEMA head role like gift position like an ambassador gig to Monaco.... they got the ball moving. Thousands had suffered, but there was an inclination of what needed to be done even if very late. I don't think that exists right now. I think Giuliani might be who he looked to in his inner circle to do his emergency response and we all know Giuliani was pulling corrupt shit during 9/11 that would make that appointment a bad one not to mention his racism which could effect his response plans.

It's not rocket science the base wants it, and McConnell really doesn't want to have to approve the shit that the house is going to send up. He was hoping that Fillibuster would be his out. Also Repubs know that the demographics don't work for them. They are literally in a middle of a crisis based on the fact Trump stole this election. Not to mention he see's this for the 2018 campaign highlight it can be.
I know people say he doesn't blink..... but he legit might cause this is going to fuck the repubs over long term way more than it does the democrats.
FYI there are still the remains of homes destroyed from the epic flooding in South Louisiana last year at the side of the road. I see a dozen of them in any 10 mile stretch of road from my house, which is part of a literal village. Literal daily reminder that no one nationally cares about what happens here, as long as NOLA is ok. Response to that disaster from the fed was every bit as limp dicked as the one to Katrina.
E: I don't have faith in any national politician responding adequately to a crisis in my region.

Crisis situations have become politicized. I'm not sure if they always were, but they sure as fuck are now. See Lindsey Graham voting for Katrina but against Sandy relief.

Yeah it wasnt a rocket science decision, but actually getting all the votes aligned to obstruct was his job and he did it. People expected him to just roll over.

Like Hey I know I shouldn't be making this deal with Putin..... Let me send this mercenary to establish a way for us to communicate that that pesky media will never know about.....
Because of "work" I have someone on my FB friends list posting about Trump and his "donation" to the rangers, $78k or so. I bring up the fact that he defunded them by 1.5 billion, so his "donation" is nothing. He responds by posting an Obama budget.
Like, what? What does Obama have anything to do with what Trump is doing?
