It's almost like he wants to be impeached.

Keep an eye on the GOP senators. No doubt they are working feverishly to get a healthcare plan together to kill as many poor people as possible. So silly, how can poor people work for next to nothing if they are dead? Republicans are really messing with their economic model.`

he's either senile or compromised or both

i'm honestly flabbergasted. i've mostly ignored or let the Russian investigation stuff go on in the background but this last week is insane. just insane.

somehow, FOX News, Breitbart, the GOP et al will make this a good thing.

Dave Chappelle tonight in NY on his November SNL monologue: "I was the first guy on TV to say 'Give Trump a chance.' I fucked up. Sorry."

Did he do this to scare our allies into refusing to give us intel about russiagate? Maybe some of the russiagate stuff has items that they don't want shared, such as where and how they got the info. I'm trying to think of a reason for doing this beyond just giving the middle finger to everyone. Or maybe he really is taking marching orders from Putin because this seems like something the russians would LOVE.

I know I'm supposed to think he's just a fool (he is) and there is no malice involved, but I find the timing and the act really hard to reconcile with cluelessness. This was deliberate.

Nothing Trump does is the slightest bit shocking any more (if it ever was).
I'm embarrassed by the non-reaction from the rest of the Republican party.
Also, I don't understand it even from a political point of view. Trump is an anchor.

after the second tweet, it seems like he is on message with the others.

idk, maybe i am reading it wrong, but it feels like a lot of others are the ones reading it wrong.

What are these "others." Who is reading what wrong? What is it that you're reading from Trump's tweets.

My brain hasn't caught up to my coffee yet and I'm having trouble understanding your post.

i know a few of you had said vote for krasner, but the knocks on him seem pretty real to me. the defense attorney and george soros thing isnt ideal. seems like a lot of others have progressive ideas too.

There's a reason Putin worked to elect trump. Trump is just paying him back by deliberately weakening America.

sorry.

seems like everyone is saying trump is admitting to telling the russians classified info.

the tweets dont say that. at least i dont get that. seems like they say a similar thing to what mccmaster said about just general information regarding isis and airline travel as the topics that were discussed.

Yes, it's not an explicit admission, but Donald Trump is the first to cry FAKE NEWS about anything, but he doesn't here. I think that's telling.

He hasn't posted in a politics thread in about 3 months IIRC, so I don't know if you'll get a response.

if only how he justifies it were not completely beside the point. We KNOW McMaster was bullshitting. drumpf supporting McMaster's bullshitting isn't exoneration, in any fashion. drumpf remains a dangerous imbecile who should never have been nominated, let alone sworn into office. Let's all stay focused.

What am I missing? Trump's opening line today was that he had an absolute right to share the info. You don't go to that unless you did in fact give up info that was classified. Everything else is just word-smithing non-denials.

he said he wanted to share info pertaining to isis and airlines, which he had the right to do.

look, i think they are all lying, but i just dont think trump admitted it with those tweets, is all.
