Until he wanted to take out North Korea he didn't seem all that crazy.

After he fired Comey, I'm sure the FBI is prepared with their best tools to recover data. I knew a guy who did that kind of work. He said he recovered data thrown in meth lab and data dumped into a lake.

Thoughts on what kind of GE bump Dems would get in 2020 if Trump were Impeached in 2017? Ditto in 2019?

A president can only pardon federal crimes. I'm sure Drumf has committed some state-level crimes before taking office, between the fraud and the Fraulein grabbing.

Nobody has any ****ing idea. We've crossed the event horizon. At any moment Trump could be impeached or declared dictator for life.

I thought Kasich had a good point when he said we should listen to opposing view points for 10 min a day instead of just dismissing them. Then I remembered Mitch McConnell saying the number one priority was to make sure Obama was an one term president and I said "**** you Kasich."

Easily #1. If true (it's true), he interfered with an ongoing investigation. That's a really big no-no. Hence, why FOX is talking about dirty bathrooms.

There's a mathematical object called a Koch snowflake- it has a finite area enclosed by a perimeter that is infinite. Not relevant but it sounds like it could make a good insult.

I've flipped on AM radio a few times today and landed on 3 different hosts. Not a single time were they discussing anything political. Author interviews and some millennial blacksmith from the UK. Very strange.

Gonna need to wait another 6-8 hours before deciding where it ranks. Never know what might be coming.

Should use BleachBit, imo

If he goes down I see him and Bannon destroying as many people as they can on the way out. Would make sense to go quietly, but yeah that's not going to happen.

Hannity is on late enough that he knew it was fake, too. These are just bad people.
lets dispel once and for all with the notion that fox news anchors don't know what they're doing, they know exactly what they're doing

Confessing to casual repeated sexual assault is probably worse MORALLY, but as far as where this ranks, it's like Watergate but instead of Nixon trying to cover up an domestic-politics-motivated burglarly Trump is trying to coverup something involving a hostile nation state potentially interfering with the US government.

Not the election, that's all bull****, but if the coverup here was Russia having blackmail on Flynn or blackmail on Trump and the end game of that was Russia trying to get favorable foreign policy, that's flirting awfully close to treason.

If Hillary had done this, Fox wouldn't be calling to lock her up, they'd be discussing firing squads.

You have the right to remain silent.

I choose to waive that right.

Interesting. By accepting a pardon, he would also be admitting guilt. I wonder if he is capable of that.

Redoing the old Daily Show stupid vs. evil sketch unfortunately would require Wyatt and Jon Stewart to make up, but really, Team Evil pretty clearly won.

#1 without a doubt.

Whether that's enough to get the GOP to actually do anything about it is another matter entirely.

This point cannot be lost. Nixon wasn't being investigated for potential collusion with a foreign adversary to subvert our democracy, Trump is being investigated for something that is light years worse than Nixon ever did. It's completely unprecedented in our history in every way.
