The Bernie bros in my Facebook feed have become indistinguishable with Trump supporters. It’s all “fuck the establishment” so they don’t believe anything that comes out of the mainstream media and intelligence agencies.

I know! I was bracing for a week of fawning by pundits and his poll numbers to skyrocket now that he was being “Presidential”. Instead, there’s a scandal the NEXT DAY. The intelligence community’s timing is awesome.

Him declaring war on the intelligence and media was a bad idea. He’s going to lose on both.

I’m not sure I’d expect anything to happen unless the Dems retake the House in 2018 and hold a formal investigation with a special prosecutor. Paul Ryan just said Sessions doesn’t have to recuse himself except for the parts of in the investigation that involve him. Since he obviously wouldn’t investigate himself,…

Remember, the Russians hacked the RNC too but didn’t release. I’m sure there’s some baaaad shit from Ted Cruz in there he doesn’t want out. He has a vested interest in not investigating the Trump-Russia connection.

The Russians DID hack the RNC. They just didn’t release any of it. So yes, the idea that all the GOP is compromised by the Russians is probably accurate.

That’s pretty much exactly what Ryan said in his address to Congress this morning.

It’s all about keeping the people of colour and women down. It’s okay if they’re poor as long as the blacks and women have it worse.

Well we know the Russians hacked both the RNC and DNC but only released on the DNC. The fact that all the GOP are basically sucking Putin’s dick now makes me think that Russia has a shit ton of incriminating evidence on all of them.

About time anyway. I was expecting a full week of the pundits fawning over him and his poll numbers to skyrocket because he gave one speech that someone else wrote and didn’t have a psychotic episode during it.

Oh yeah, I don’t think it came from inside the Trump camp. Probably the FBI or another intelligence agency investigating the Trump-Russia connection.

Right? How did a senior military official like Flynn NOT know the FBI would be recording his conversation with the Russians? My only hope is that incompetence brings down this administration.

He already released a statement essentially using this defence. It will become the equivalent of the “that depends on what your meaning of is is”, only he’s covering up treason instead of a blowjob.

I’m pretty sure we have more of a Russian government than an American government at this point. So much for putting America first.

I imagine Flynn’s gotten a very big cheque from Trump/Putin by now to keep him silent the rest of his life.

The leak of this coming out right after his address to Congress was definitely deliberate.

Silly, it only matters when the Democrats do it!

Rand Paul said “Republicans don’t investigate other Republicans”. He’s not even trying to hide it.

Being a Democrat.

The checks and balances depend on the GOP party not being entirely corrupt to the core.
