I think the people surrounding Trump are going to talk rather than face long prison terms.

So #1 then? That's fine, just seems like abrupt timing, nobody else is doing it, and risky to leave a secure seat where he's been rising quickly.

To be clear, I don't have proof that Ailes died stroking it to pics of Megyn Kelly, but so far the media have not denied this allegation.

Is relevant to how Ailes died.

FYI:

Apparently Trump is holding a joint press conference in ~40 minutes with Colombian President Santos.

Lieberman is a lock to be confirmed, he'll probably get 75% Yeas
05-18-2017 , 03:05 PM
Stroking it to pictures is a level of discretion that I'm pretty sure none of those guys have
05-18-2017 , 03:05 PM
I just hope Ailes didn't die due to the inconvenient, expensive, non-revolutionary old way of buying urinary catheters.

He literally fell and hit his head last week. Some news agencies saying it might've been a clot. But classic old people death. Nothing special.

Nah, him working for Trump's law firm is a massively disqualifying conflict of interest.

Wait, Trump thinks the reason Clinton lost was because the EC was slanted in her direction?

Damn, the dude has dementia for sure.

A big problem with Trump is how he believes so many of the conspiracy theories out there. This may not seem like much more than "geez, what an idiot" on the surface, but it's actually part of what makes him so dangerous and unhinged. It also explains his position on certain things, like feeling he's being treated unfairly. I'll elaborate further if anyone wants.

The Turkish man who gave Mike Flynn a $600,000 lobbying deal just before President Donald Trump picked him to be national security adviser has business ties to Russia, including a 2009 aviation financing deal negotiated with Vladimir Putin, according to court records.

The man, Ekim Alptekin, has in recent years helped to coordinate Turkish lobbying in Washington with Dmitri “David” Zaikin, a Soviet-born former executive in Russian energy and mining companies who also has had dealings with Putin’s government, according to three people with direct knowledge of the activities.

Maybe not, but he's not gonna get 75 of them to vote yes imo

Plenty of Dems remember how he ****ed them on ACA and backed McCain before that.

Trump is a dumbass. Mueller seems legit. If you were innocent, you might at least feel reassured you'd get fair treatment. If you're dirty, you're ****ting bricks. So which of these states of mind is Trump in? WITCH-HUNT!

that was my thought and i was very surprised to hear the president's official statement last night being essentially, "this guy is great and i'm happy about it because i am confident i will be completely exonerated". today we got his real thoughts tho. guilty piece of ****

this is amazing, from said article...

Trump’s pressuring of Flynn to take the job came even though Flynn had informed the Trump transition team that he was under active FBI investigation over undisclosed lobbying on behalf of a Dutch company—lobbying that, Flynn now admits, may have advanced the interests of the Turkish government.

“He did not want to be National Security Adviser,” Michael Ledeen, a friend of the retired Army general, told The Daily Beast on Thursday. “He didn’t want to be in the government. He wanted to go back to private life.”

Trump’s pressuring of Flynn to take the job came even though Flynn had informed the Trump transition team that he was under active FBI investigation over undisclosed lobbying on behalf of a Dutch company—lobbying that, Flynn now admits, may have advanced the interests of the Turkish government.

But Trump doesn’t just hope that Flynn will beat the rap. Several sources close to Flynn and to the administration tell The Daily Beast that Trump has expressed his hopes that a resolution of the FBI’s investigation in Flynn’s favor might allow Flynn to rejoin the White House in some capacity—a scenario some of Trump’s closest advisers in and outside the West Wing have assured him absolutely should not happen.
Those sources said Trump didn’t believe Flynn should be under investigation in the first place.

after acknowledgement that his actions helped a foreign power. just another universe we live in.

He doesn't think that, he's just heard people attacking his win based on Republicans having an electoral college advantage, and Trump only knows how to attack people based on attacks that have been made against him, or shady tactics he uses himself.

By the time 2020 gets here every state is going to just get 1 vote each. There's legitimately going to be a Civil War if he isn't impeached soon.
