The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns.

Yeah, in practical terms, this definitely will piss off the intelligence community and concern allies even further.

Anderson Cooper has an exclusive interview with Sally Yates tomorrow, and the New Yorker will be publishing excerpts from a four-hour interview. I expect some news. I doubt the ISIS intel leak to the Russians is a 3-day story (but it goes on the pile).

trump said on judge janeane that he might get rid of daily press briefings and instead personally do a presidential press briefing every 2 weeks.

i think we're gonna see that towards the end of this presidency

Outside of a direct military action, this is the first time trump has caused a person's death. So there's that.

Waiting for this presidency to be over is like waiting for porn to finish downloading back in the day of 2800-baud modems.

I agree, and I'm picking up a few more "no" shares. No one is coming forth publicly with accusations, McMaster is providing strong cover, and this may not have even been technically illegal, since the POTUS has broad power over intelligence sharing.
its so trump like tho. its like a bad movie. hes like the woat evil cliched leader. I mean, this is straight out of a bad script for the one-dimensional leader who effs everything up. "Hey guys, lemme tell ya, I get the best intel. just the best. check this out, I know all about these plans. let me tell you about them." its like a naked gun movie or something.

Let's see what happens. Don't want to snap at everything. But this is pretty bad if true.
dude cmon. you know its true. every single person who is paying any attention knows this is true.

now mebbe the administration can lie and misdirect their way out of it. and mebbe nothing can proven.

but anyone with half a brain knows full well that this is straight up truth.

My new favorite art form is descriptions of the absurdity of the situation

But Trump’s statements don’t necessarily come from anywhere, lead anywhere or have a permanent reality beyond his wish to be liked at any given instant.

We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar.
This is David Brooks. David Brooks!

dude, you are not weighing the facts objectively. this will go on for the rest of our lifetime. we are in a one-party authoritarian society. there are no checks to limit the power of the minority regressive right-wing republican party.

they will continue to sell out the country while blaming any problems on their opposition democrats. in 20 years it will be illegal to be a democrat.

you should enjoy the freedom of the press that we currently have. and enjoy that we can actually speak out for our values.

but also realize that the internet never forgets and there is a very good chance that such candid opposition will be a crime in a few decades and they will come for us.

It's like I always say, when you've lost David Brooks you've lost the ball on your eye.

I got illegal not to be a christian and not go to church on sundays in about 10 years. Democrat probably 15. As much fun as it would be for them to do that sooner, think they'll enjoy keeping that around for the trolling.

trump is a ton more likely to reach a 3rd term than to be removed during his first term.

ppl in those betting markets are making the massive mistake of thinking that rules and facts matter for the republican political leaders.

I turned it off after she said (I'm paraphrasing) "Well you know, the GOP refused to work with Obama for 8 years but we can't do that because we need to find a middle ground w/ the GOP so our country can move forward. We need to find something in common w/ Trump so he can succeed."

I am ****ing done w/ this party. These idiots don't get it. They are literally Charlie Brown w/ the football.

You cannot rationalize with someone that cannot be rationalized with. Period. And the Democrats don't ****ing get it.

No. Trump's #1 priority is to be the top news maker of the day. He'll just do the daily press briefings himself.
05-15-2017 , 11:40 PM
I think the Pelosi's of the dem realm are old school politics believing they need to court olds or moderate R voters like how they used to win elections but they don't get that ship has sailed.
05-15-2017 , 11:43 PM
There is a silver lining in all this. The chance that Trump strokes out while watching the news tomorrow went up by some non-negligible % (assuming wh staffers haven't parental locked him out of CNN and MSNBC.)

I'd like to bet 2 potatoes and 10 broccoli florets against this.

Gonna have to pass on this bet since I'll either be dead from the failed uprising or you're gonna have to pay a **** ton for shipping those florets.
