I've had a Kindle subscription to WaPo for years, incredible value plus you get to support one of the few remaining checks on fascism.

I know. I've made it a point to ignore politics at least one day a week for my sanity. I might need to make it 2 lol.

As much as I'd like to see Sessions go, this is a non-story imho.

Bets on trumps first tweet tomorrow at 6 am?

Does he go fake news? Completely deflect and talk about banning Muslims, or does he call for sessions to resign. I know the 3rd one is a long shot but he has to figured they're all ****ed if this goes down.

I think they've restricted him in tweets a bit but if he's alone it's another **** storm. Same stuff as usual.

He will 100% blame the Dems and then enact the Muslim ban in anger.

There's no way an insecure internet troll with 25 million followers and no filter is going to just stop being an insecure internet troll

huh? no. no I do not think ppl will refrain from medial treatment bc they want to retain the highest possibility of gun ownership. wtf kind of argument is this? like, no one does this. no one thinks this way.

well maybe like 54 ppl do.

I forgot who said it but I agree with them that nothing's probably going to come of this. The only thing that took Flynn down was the Intel community dropping dime that they had him recorded discussing sanctions. Otherwise they spun it like they're spinning this, just routine meetings and conversations with Russians, no one can prove otherwise.

The way things are going though it's going to be hard to spin when the Washington Post breaks that the Trump Transition Team and the Russians played in the same intermural softball league.

Kind of off topic but I just had a chick on FB ask what Ash Wednesday was. If these people can't be bothered to google something as simple as that, How can we ever expect them to google or even give a **** about politics.

Doubt this comes to anything unfortunately . Isn't he like the fourth or third trump nominee to lie under oath ? Perjury is like impossible to prove and good luck getting republicans to care

Btw it occurs to me that the one person who seemingly hasn't been implicated with this Russian stuff at all even rumors of it is Pence. Nice Chinese wall he has there

Pence has lied about all this a few times. Haven't seen anything regarding him personally meeting or having a chat with a russian tho.

idk man, when the commerce guy with a bunch of russia ties gets in 72-27 just a few days ago... Some people are feeling the HEAT at least.

I've narrowed it down but after this, I think I'm going w/ WaPo.

If you have Amazon Prime you can get like 6 months free of Wapo. link https://subscribe.washingtonpost.com/prime/#/
