No, remember when there was more outrage than this over when Obama wore a tan suit?

Gorsuch. Gag rule. Sessions. DeVos. "Islam hates us." "Merry Christmas." Israel.

These are all HUGE for the people who listen to charlatans like Falwell.

(ok fine, other countries *probably* would've figured it out anyway but still my god)
He will be furious the phone appointment got leaked to Twitter and just continue insisting he's the best POTUS ever.

5) Whether or not Putin is pleased
6) Golf courses in Riyadh
7) LEAKS
8) Getting up to take a leak
I'm going with "I got ya where I want ya. Now I'm gonna eat ya!"

The whole "it's his constitutional right" isn't a defense anymore than when someone gets called out for saying insensitive or beyond the pale they just say it's their constitutional right. I mean yea it is but you still have to explain yourself.

Man you know the convo went like this:

Kislyak: We get the best information on Russia. The best intelligence in the world. Nobody has intelligence like us.

Trump: Oh yeah? I bet you didn't know that we have a guy in ISIS who told us about the laptop bombs.

Kislyak: Really? Oh he was the guy from China, right?

Trump: Hahahaha. You're stupid! He's from Jordan!

Lavrov: Yes we are. Our intelligence is so weak after all. I mean we still use carrier pigeons to contact our agents and...

Trump: *interrupts* Seriously? We always contact our guys using this type of encryption so you guys can't hear us.

------------------------

I have no idea how this guy has ever gotten through a deposition without giving everything up. Seeing him questioned before Congress would be like a slow-motion train wreck.

Imagine being a mole inside ISIS basically one of the bravest things you could do, working to stop terrorist attacks under the constant threat of beheading or worse to have your cover blown by a loudmouth orange c**t in order to make himself feel good for 1.2 seconds between his extra ice cream scoop and him jerking his 1 inch prick over his daughters baby photos. Gonna be a tricky recruitment season this year I think.

WH: We did not anticipate losing confidence of the military over this. Oops... I mean...it never happened. WaPo story is fake news.

If got to go with Jules here, if the biggest part of income tax goes to the military, which is extremly overfunded, then it is reasonable to say this is money wasted

If people think the road to the Democratic Party redemption is to get upset about traditional politics it's going to be a horrific eight plus years.
Exactly. Sessions appointed AG is 'objectively' worse given our worldview and understanding of things, but that is standard type stuff for a new GOP presidential administration. This other behavior though, is insanely out of the norm and egregious. Absolutely should be more outrage over it among the general populace.

The hardcore Trump dummies are really shook now. They are trying very hard to push Seth Rich / Clinton story. So amazing. I feel like they must breath air with reduced oxygen levels.

Yeah but he might save some hard luck middle classers a few hundred dollars in taxes so it's all good to have voted for him.

Not going to lie still fires me up to no end that everything was known well before the election and millions still chose to vote for him. I still find it incomprehensible and wholly unjustifiable.

I wouldn't be surprised if as much as half the people who work for man child detest him and it's all about money. Also anyone in politics has to be a **** as a starting point to get anywhere.

Her husband is a partner at one of the most elite and expensive law firms in the country, like $3M/yr profits per partner. How much money does she need?

People usually want more no matter how much they have. The function of money changes from being something to buy useful things with to being a way of keeping score in a game between very rich people.

IRL, Trumpkins defending spilled secrets to Russia this morning. Can't say I'm shocked anymore. Just slightly amused and a little more frustrated. Highlights:

"So what if the president has to bend the rules a little to fix the mess Obama left him?"
"Worry about your own problems."
And...
"He does these things to get a rise out of people like you. At least I'm smart enough not to fall for it."

I've gotten pretty good at letting it go when they get too outlandish. That last one earned a good "go **** yourself" reply from me.

Remember a lot of the major debate during the election was over Clinton's supposed mishandling of classified information.

I realize that, but it also reveals who a person is. I can understand someone compromising principles to not go hungry, but basically doing it as sport is borderline evil. I'm pretty sure she's with Trump 90% of the way.

Many people still think Republicans believe in democracy and will somehow magically save us. What will it take to disabuse people of these "The West Wing"-based fantasies?
