Really? Isn’t this exactly the type of behavior that they complained about vis a vis Bernie supporters? I wonder why that is.

It’s been a decade after the Great Recession caused by their meltdown. Had they shown any kind of effort to self-reform, self-policing, and/or self-reflection, maybe we’d care. But they haven’t even had the good sense to do even the bare minimum.

There are so many reasons to want her to win but this is almost number one for me.

Is this some kind of joke? The cowards are speaking on background like we give a fuck. They realize this will backfire and increase her popularity, right? lol

“You’re in a box because you’re a Democrat and you’re thinking, ‘I want to help the party, but she’s going to hurt me, so I’m going to help President Trump,’”

I used to work in the Wall Street world because it’s the only place I could find a job. On my first day, I had to disclose all my recent political donations (required by law) and the only one I had was to Warren’s senate campaign. I was wondering if they would fire me on the spot.

I’m going to just throw someone under the bus for this and claim the $50k. I mean, it’s not like they’re going to bother to be accurate about this right?

Is there a reason to all this “whistleblower” thing? Trump and his moron lawyer admitted it’s all true. The whole thing started when said whistleblower said something was said to a foreign leader, that was it. Then within a day Trump and his lawyer spilled everything, and now they’re both trying to deny it, and it…

I hope he starts a fucking witch hunt* in his staff and they start turning on him and leaking like crazy as they are under the siege of his abuse and threats. You have to imagine almost anyone working for him is a self-serving asshole and they will save themselves if they feel cornered and Trump doesn’t seem like the…

The attendee is clearly another spy, everyone is a spy!

I think he threw Pence under the bus a while ago, when he was contemplating replacing him on the ticket with somebody more entrancing. I haven’t caught up with his more recent stuff. If he’s throwing Pence under the bus right now, he’s probably trying to signal to the Republican senators that if they vote to impeach…

I think the problem with people like he, and Romney before him, is that they still literally cannot see the staff working these meals.

In theory, though in practice those laws have serious issues. Even under the Obama administration there were some really troubling trends on whistleblowers, and even at their worst there was nowhere near the level of malice and vindictiveness in that administration.

Also, uhh, don’t laws protect whistleblowers from retaliation? Not that he knows that or cares, but still.

I’m just... confused? What the hell is going on in that pudding brain? Why did he throw Pence under the bus almost completely out of nowhere?

It’s been their strategy since 2015 and it's worked so far.

Trump is too dumb to know this, but this is going to hurt him. The whistleblower followed the rules exactly. Even when the acting DNI was illegally withholding the complaint. Trump’s relationship with the IC is already poor, but this will make it worse, and that will make at least a few Republicans uncomfortable.…

Boy, they are just going to drive this “the real crime is the reporting of the crime” bus right off the cliff, aren’t they?

He’s gonna live-tweet his own heart attack and it is, quite frankly, going to own.
