Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

Nobody said there would be a test at the end.

But plenty said there'd be dire consequences.

I see this is becoming an excercise is selective responses.

Very much like Tucker Carlson last night talking about homeless people in Penn Station.

I told Tucker to ditch that bowtie years ago. Now he's the next Megan Kelly. Not bad for a prep school boy.

There's a limit, and you're getting close to the line. I'm blue through and through.

The red/blue thing switched [was a plot by a cabal of Democratic party sympathizers in media] back in the 70's and 80's. It used to be the other way around.

I was there. At the time, I didn't even notice.

It was a lot later than that. I don't think the colors flipped until like 2000.

You elected this mess. You have to live with that. A billionaire who duped millions of people that he was a man of the people. He only wants to know how he can profit from the people.

Someone wholly unready to govern.

to be fair, as I recall, Mezzrow take pains to signal what passes for virtue on the right... not Trump

I voted against Hillary. Most of us did. Repugnance is in the eye of the beholder.

(nods) bit academic now, but yes.

In the best of all possible worlds this could become real, but I'm not Candide, and you're not Voltaire. You're Abelard.

Someday Everton will win at Anfield. It's only a question of when.

Bases loaded, Schwarber up. He's already knocked the "Bud" out of the Budweiser sign in BP. Come on, lad.

It's all go tonight!

I can't believe all of this.

They knew Flynn was under investigation weeks prior to his inauguration and they still went through with it.

They knew.

Report: Trump knew Flynn was under investigation weeks before inauguration

President Trump's transition team was told ahead of his inauguration that former national security adviser Michael Flynn was under investigation for working as a lobbyist for Turkey during Trump's campaign, The New York Times reported late Wednesday.

Sources told the Times that it was Flynn himself who told the Trump transition team that he was under investigation. Flynn was made Trump's national security adviser despite the information.

The Times report comes after a week of bombshell stories surrounding the Trump administration. Last Tuesday Trump abruptly fired former FBI Director James Comey amid the bureau's ongoing investigation of Trump's campaign and any possible ties to Moscow. On Tuesday the Times sent more shockwaves through Washington with the release of a memo by Comey that revealed Trump had asked him to stop the FBI's investigation of Flynn.

Earlier Wednesday, the Justice Department announced it has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russia's involvement in the U.S. presidential election.

Flynn resigned from his White House post in February amid revelations that he discussed U.S. sanctions with Russia's ambassador in the month before President Trump took office and misled top administration officials, including Vice President Pence, about the nature of the conversations.

Aside from payments from Turkey, financial disclosures filed after Flynn resigned revealed he also received payments from Russian companies.

Flynn was paid $45,000 by RT in 2015 to speak at the group's 10th anniversary gala. The two other companies — Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, a U.S. subsidiary of Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, and Russia-based Volga-Dnepr Airlines — paid him more than $5,000, according to the documents.

well, at least you're not Dr. Pangloss, like the actual Trump supporter who no longer pokes his head up around here...

and you're not Voltaire. You're Abelard.

though hopefully with more of a West Wing style ending

(did that have a happy ending? it seems like it probably would have... I never actually watched it)

that's a wise sentiment. similarly, my wife just got in from work and we're drinking Riseling (not my choice)

nighty-night

Does it really matter though? A vote against Hillary is fine...there were other folks on the ticket.

He must accept his blame and shame for plugging his nose and voting for the stench he did.

Happy to see this. Trump may not like it, but he brought it on himself.

Tbh if Trump, and his team, can keep message discipline this could well be a good thing in the short term for him as they can punt a lot of questions off to that investigation and if it goes at the speed most do it won't be finished until 2019.

Maintaining message discipline and Comey's testimony to Congress could make things a bit more challenging though!

2019? I'd imagine he'll be facing the 25th before then.
