It's got to seem somewhat ironic that the fella who gave you the medal swerved the war regardless of whether swerving war is okay, personally I think it is but going on to be CIC afterwards is going to make it slightly weird.

Politically, if John Kerry can be ****ing swift boated out of the presidency, then no it's ok.

President Donald Trump collaborated with Fox News to concoct a story claiming a Democratic National Committee staffer was killed in retaliation for leaking Hillary Clinton’s emails to Wikileaks, according to a lawsuit by a private investigator for the slain man’s family.

Trump, who allegedly reviewed the Fox story before it was published on May 16, intended for the story to divert attention from the widening probe into ties between his campaign and Russia, according to the suit filed Tuesday by Rod Wheeler, the investigator, a former Washington police detective and occasional Fox News contributor.

I read it as 110 million "Fake News Media and Trump enemies." DOn't know what that means but figure seems low.

The Fox News Channel and a wealthy supporter of President Trump worked in concert under the watchful eye of the White House to concoct a story about the death of a young Democratic National Committee aide, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The explosive claim is part of the lawsuit filed against Fox News by Rod Wheeler, a longtime paid commentator for the news network. The suit was obtained exclusively by NPR.

Wheeler alleges Fox News and the Trump supporter intended to deflect public attention from growing concern about the administration's ties to the Russian government. His suit charges that a Fox News reporter created quotations out of thin air and attributed them to him to propel her story.

Fox's president of news, Jay Wallace, told NPR on Monday there was no "concrete evidence" that Wheeler was misquoted by the reporter, Malia Zimmerman. The news executive did not address a question about the story's allegedly partisan origins. Fox News declined to allow Zimmerman to comment for this story.

NPR is "far left propaganda." Of course. I like NPR's programming, but they are pathetic in their attempts to pander which ****ING NEVER WORK, STOP ****ING TRYING FFS!!!!!!111

For instance, the newscaster the other day said "sanctions relating to the Russian interfer -- excuse me alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections." Bro, these clowns can main line the pure right wing derp at any time; you gain nothing by humoring them.

Hey guys your deplorable racist family members are going to vote for Trump again if they get the chance, hate to break it to you.

I love CP when stories first break and Fox hasn't had a chance to give them talking points to parrot out yet.

Wheeler is a former homicide detective who has worked as a “Fox News crime analyst” for over a decade. In 2007, he was forced to retract a story he reported on The O’Reilly Factor in which he claimed more than 150 “violent lesbian gangs” armed with 9-millimeter handguns in the D.C. area alone were “performing sex acts” and “committing crimes.”

That sweet, sweet moral high ground, tho.

So what do you guys think the realistic probability is we attack North Korea?

I'd say it's at least 50/50 by the end of this year. Maybe higher?

Exactly. News about Kaepernick failing to salute the flag, a Happy Holidays sign, or a creative zinger calling Elizabeth Warren a pretend Indian will send these people straight back to Trump. The Deplorables are easily startled, but they'll soon be back with Trump, and in greater numbers.

Our only real hope against it is Kelly or Mattis getting involved before POTUS tweets something out. Other than that it seems like just a matter of time until he needs a big distraction from Russia.

If the Pentagon were monitoring our communications, which they are, it would have to occur to them that there'd be essentially no opposition to a military take over of the Trump Government.
