His investigation will probably be to talk to a few more Germans.

That's the only country he's not talking to right now

4 more EOs potentially on the way. Vox was given six and two matched the two today so they've released the other 4. They're...not good. The reported 'muslim country' ban, ending DACA/Dreamers, making immigration more difficult overall, and limiting social services for immigrants.

Steve Bannon is running the executive branch, if that's not abundantly clear to everyone by now.

Oh, I don't think he wants to talk to the current government, just to some Germans.

The insane racism and lack of sense it makes aside...The most insane part to me is that it didn't even happen to Langher. It was Langher relaying a story about someone he knew. But trumps ego had to change the story so he could tell it in a room full of congress. You can't be like "Bernard once told me..." it had to be trump the big star with a famous friend. Complete madness. Personality disorder

This shit is insane

Guy on my bowling team who voted for trump has already abandoned him. I guess he thought trump was playing a character. Sigh.

This guy has a ridiculous inferiority complex. Definitely has a micropeen.

Incredible. David Muir just shaking his head. Must have been a surreal moment for him.

Is that a real quote

by **CalvinBall** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 00:25:52

Don't think he says sea of love but he shows Muir a framed photo of the innaguration that people just didn't show you on TV. Look at all the people it just goes on and on, as he runs his tiny hand over the glass.

I paraphrased, but that was the gist. I think he really did say "Sea of love" though.

He really wants to 'take the oil'...which is illegal and also would be a permanent occupation.

Did this get referenced already? Stuff comes & goes so quickly just now:

New York Times wrote:Top Russian Cybercrimes Agent Arrested on Charges of Treason

A senior official in the Russian cyberintelligence department that American officials say oversaw last years'e election hacking has been arrested in Moscow on charges of treason, a Russian newspaper reported Wednesday....

....If confirmed, the arrest would be one of the highest-profile detentions for treason within the FSB since the breakup of the Soviet Union

Arrested guy's operation ran Cozy Bear, which collected data but didn't release it; the GRU ran Fancy Bear, which hacked & released DNC data. Hmm, wonder what kind of data Cozy Bear had? Guess we'll never find out.

Probably just coincidence

Maddow had a thing on this tonight too. Can't believe he keeps saying it. Iraq has a video that she claimed is vital over there with the clips of him saying this shit. It has gotten so much attention that their president has been asked about it in a press conference. Can he get arrested yet?

Had a conversation with my mom this week, where she was half-heartedly defending him (You have to admit that the media wants to make him look bad), and I was gently pointing out the repeated ridiculousness. It's the media's job to cover the president and hold him accountable to the american people. That's what they do, and it doesnt have to be antagonistic. In particular, I was pointing out that it made no sense to question the inauguration attendance figures. It would have been trivial to argue that it's no surprise that a city that votes 90% Democrat, with a majority minority population, would turn out in large numbers for the first black, Democratic President. He could have followed it up with a joke about his supporters in middle class cannot easily take off from work, and it's a non-story.

She said "I hope I don't regret voting for him...."

It's been 1 week. The 70 year old child that you voted into the White House is not going to change.

Side note: I made an argument that, in spite of the fact I never voted for Obama, he is an above average President. Giving 20 million people health insurance that didnt have it... it's not a trivial change. Historians will look favorably on him, despite the fact that he didnt do many of the things that people thought he would do (get out of Iraq faster, close Guantanamo, etc). Yes, this is what the world is coming to, where I am praising Obama's legacy. Amazing.

Hope he finds the Russian interference

"The Russians were merely making sure that nothing untoward happened during the election, fortunately with their assistance only 5-10 million illegals managed to vote. Without their help, it could've been 40-50 million illegal votes."
