On Friday, Akhmetshin denied to The Washington Post that he was ever an intelligence agent but said he did serve two years in a Soviet military unit that handled counter-intelligence.

"At no time have I ever worked for the Russian government or any of its agencies. I was not an intelligence officer. Never," he told the Post.

Hmmm. Can't risk a fist fight here. No choice but to move on.

I'm not saying the room was crowded, but on top of everything else they're now under investigation by the fire inspector.

This was the response on saturday.

Somehow in just a week, it's obvious everything in it is a lie.

Don't worry, we have the law and order president. I am sure he will start cracking down on these perjury offenses.

I mean, ****, when Junior said the meeting was about adoptions, it was completely obvious that was a lie. Really? Junior, Kushner, and Manafort decided that adoption was the thing they had to run point on?

"Hey Kush, I've really been losing sleep over the old Russian adoption program that ended a while back. I'm really concerned that there are Russian orphans that need good homes. Want to come be my wing man in this meeting? Maybe we can do some good in the world."

Come on, man.

Agreed, but he does look more like a character Kurt Russell would play.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold the phone. This dude's actual real life government name is Ty Cobb????

I thought that was a nickname the forum had given him as a joke.

We're living in a computer simulation testing the bounds of the mind's willingness to accept absurdity as reality.

This is great, but I bet if I search twitter I can find the source.

2008's "Burn After Reading" strikingly resembles the bumbling plot of Trump's Russia scandal, but also captures how amorality leads to treason.

Quote:

The most disturbing thing about Burn After Reading, though, is how it resembles every day in Trump’s Washington, where the line between blundering idiocy and malevolent conspiracy is increasingly blurred. Yet for all its dark prescience, Burn After Reading almost feels too optimistic. Though there is tragedy and death throughout the film, the Deep State is able to restore some semblance of normality to the world. In Washington, even as the Trump administration’s incompetence gets pushback from the intelligence community, there’s no real hope for going back to the way things were. Trump’s antics are relentlessly normalized by Republicans in Congress and the conservative media, whose latest defense is that incompetent collusion isn’t a crime. That’s a story perhaps too dark even for the Coen Brothers—where stupidity leads to attempted treason, but such behavior is waved away as everyday politics.

Jumping the gun a bit on that.

The Trump Administration---- by all metrics---- literally is getting nothing done.

Check out the bills passed by the Congress:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tates_Congress

Less than a dozen even have Wikipedia entries. It's a "do nothing" administration.

Screaming about the "Fall of the Republic" is like the boy who cried wolf.
