House Intelligence Committee Chair: "FBI Needs to Explain Why It Was Recording Michael Flynn's Phone Calls"

I mean, there's an obvious answer to this but more concerning is THIS is what is the top priority of the House Intelligence Committee Chairman

The expansion of police power has been essentially monotonic for decades, independent of who is in charge.

no thats exactly what he is saying.


throwing unnamed co-conspirators under the bus

It's a fairly convincing fake account.

If you notice the picture, he's only got 2 stars on his shoulder in it. A Lt. General wouldn't post an old pic of himself where he's one rank lower.

Pretty good troll job otherwise tho

Grunch, Noze is copypasting trumper statements he's finding online.

Trump is the worst POTUS. Would he have owned slaves? Duh. In the 80's he imported a crew of polish construction workers who were overseen by the mafia.

Trump does have a regular history of getting people to do work for him then not paying them.

He is a complicit idiot. Fortunately his lack of character will magnify issues for congress and make it worse for them in the long term.

Also just saw the Secret Service Director just retired.

Every respectable journalist or member of the media and EVERY meaningful government official is verified on twitter these days. If someone isn't verified then treat it very suspiciously.

You cant do historical analysis through a modern lens.

By this rationale, all presidents who owned slaves, were against desegregation, were against women's rights or were anti-homosexual would be judged as poor presidents. This is EVERY president. Social norms change which is why historians don't judge them based on today. We judge them based on the norms of the day.

Of course Trump would have owned slaves had he lived in 1850.

I conceded Trump has not done any one thing worse than some of the worst things others have done, but that is literally only a lack of time. All evidence points to him being on a trajectory to eclipse these.

Those Flynn tweets are from an unconfirmed account

I think people's ponies were swept away by a flood...

Context might be useful to your assessment of behavior and character.

Is Trump better than Lincoln because he doesn't call black people negroes in public?

The problem with Trump and it was blatantly obvious in the election is he was and is wholly incompetent on every single level to be president.

He certainly has reached near the apex in least qualified people to preside of the United States relative to the time they lived.

We are dodging bullets matrix style and people are like Trump hasn't even hit anyone with a bullet yet.

Oh, very cool

8 year old girl in Yemen.

This is basically awval's stupid argument that we need to wait and let Trump actually destroy the country before we criticize him for anything. The point of those comments isn't to perfectly assign Trump's historical ranking in advance, it's to prevent him from destroying the damn country.

LOLZ

House Intel Committee Chair apparently needs a crash course on the US Gov't eavesdropping capabilities STAT

Also all you have to know about Flynn is that he did what he did on the phone. Of course I'm no sure he's very good with the CYBERS

Why do I always get the feeling Republicans put people in charge of committees based on them knowing as little about the subject matter as possible?

Stepping back and looking at the whole picture here - it seems lol level obvious Trump was communicating w Russia pre election and is likely compromised by them in some way. Does anyone actually dispute this?

It seems like one of those things where the implications are so intense and far-reaching that everyone kind of pretends it isn't there but uh yeah, this **** happened. Not a conspiracy.

ideology always supersedes experience or knowledge for the right. Experience and knowledge on a subject are considered detrimental.

Kind of sucks that Trump pisssed off the entire judiciary. Going to make it harder to actual have him prove something was illegal. Poor Trump.

Don't see it going away:

Yeah my bad for forgetting that already.

That's OK snowflake. I'm looking forward to when the American people say to Trump "You're Fired!"

Buckle up buttercup. #WinterIsComing
