there's no way for me to respond to a post like this

so dems shouldn't ask for an investigation because some of their own unsavory relations with russia might get exposed...?? or what is the point here?

numerous high level dems seem to be calling for investigations regardless, so...

CBS News reporting a Russian spy ship is on int'l waters off coast of Delaware

Also, Russia secretly deployed a cruise missile that violates an 1987 Arms Treaty

great, i'm gonna die.

Really far behind here but Costello says the same thing.

it was probably North Korea itself; the brother was (somewhat) a buffoon and critic of Jong Un

Trump is having lunch with Chris Christie

then this populism is on tap:

President Trump signs H.J. Resolution 41, which nullifies a Dodd-Frank SEC rule requiring oil and gas companies to disclose taxes, fees they pay to foreign governments, 2:30 p.m.

The Hollywood aspects of it sound like fratracide. That sensational, just watched a Bond film spin cries the dictator. Family shit is tough.

The first rule of D.C. is to be very careful where you turn over rocks, you might be exposing something to sunlight that is as dangerous to yourself as it is to those around you.

that's what could make what may happen so interesting - need someone(s) ambitious/desperate/possibly deranged enough to chance figuring how to negotiate those sun-bleached spots.

Is Rubio ambitious/desperate enough? Are their congresspersons vain enough, with too little left to lose (he said, looking over at McCain), to give it ago? Is Ryan so confident he can skate over this and proceed ahead with his own ambitions that he doesn't sit down & calculate how to take out cheeto jesus while leaving his wedge of the Republican cheese unsullied?

Spicer leads his presser not with the obvious, but with some obscure treasury dept designation of Venezuelan prez as a drug trafficker, and brings on a Mnuchin to splain it

some press plant from newsmax or somewhere actually takes Mnuchin up on it

I mean wha tee eff already

What's Abbott have to say on the topic. It's legislation aping a comedy routine.

Truth is that Ms. Comstock's area is purple turning blue. 2 of the riches counties in the US are becoming heavily Democrat territory. She needs to moderate. She would have been voted out of office if there was credible candidate running against her, but Lueanne Bennett was just a megaphone using, sewage spewing choice that had little more to say then that Comstock is a Trump acolyte and cost ultra right winger. She really is not. A GOP party loyalist, sure.

Anyway, she is crystal clear in her desire to not have any in person, public, unregulated interactions with her constituents. The tightly controlled call said it all to me, they claimed they were taking questions, but it clearly was all theater. Trying to control the narrative with such a highly educated voter base should spell trouble for her in the very near future.

Haven't you read anything he's written in the last 18 months?

This is par for the course.

Perhaps you should be more concerned with the shitty hires Trump is making than with a poster on a message board.


edit: oh, and LOL

drumpf is not wrong that DC is a swamp. But brackish tidal pools produced all life on earth. Selective draining is in order.

You should have no doubt that this is no time to fantasize that all Dems wear white hats here, or even that the kill shot can only come from some guy riding Silver.

Spicer making excruciatingly clear Camp drumpfco's plan is to stonewall

so the GOP spin is that National Security is important, and you have to have trust in the people responsible for it, and that's why as soon as Trump lost trust in him he canned him. Doesn't fit reality since Trump has known probably well in advance of Sally Yates explicitly telling him, but at the very least since Yates told him.
