You can’t hit anything when your target is a well-trained member of an opposition militia or military or maybe a nimble forest creature.

That’s what I don’t get... doesn’t he understand (no of course he doesn’t) it could’ve been soooo much worse if they had guns instead of knives (the Orlando club shooting, for example). His point is basically pro gun control.

Illegal? Most likely not. Guaranteeing that the next time an intelligence source has information vital to the security of our nation that they might hesitate because the man at the top might blurt out said information?

This isn’t something worth defending, he did something wrong. Rafi never once mentioned the legality…

Also the “it didn’t happen” at the end is a clever bit of fuckery used in PR and shady legal circles as it is contingent on what “it” is which is never defined.

This orange santorum-covered abomination is unfit for office. Whether he’s senile, mentally ill, a Russian agent (witting or unwitting), or just an asshole, he needs to…

It was the missing “pro quo” to the previously reported “quid”.

So in any reasonable political environment that’s game over right? Like this would be grounds for an immediate investigation because not only did he say on live fucking television that he fired the man investigating him for working with Russia to swing the election...but then the next fucking day he lets the Russians…

Someone get this dude a fucking fidget spinner already.
