Look at the legislation that the 115th Congress has passed into law. Literally struck down a couple rules/regulations, that's it. Oh they did pass a NASA re-authorization.

I don't get all caught up in the Russia scandal. It's your guys' version of Benghazi. Though I do think it's a good political tool. When there's a smoking gun sure I'll give some thoughts. It's politics, that's all it is. The base is frothing at the mouth. The Democratic party likes that.

Also, right on cue with the whataboutism

Trump is failing, they haven't really passed any litHILLARYagation

Roger Stone and Rick Santorum will be on Bill Mahar tonight which will make the show both highly watchable and unwatchable at the same time.

Senate turned down Flynns immunity request. What exactly does that mean for the investigation.

Lol. More likely they just don't want him to testify because they don't want to send anyone to jail.

It doesn't necessarily mean that much. Flynn was going to ask for immunity all along, and the Senate was unlikely to grant it. He still might get immunity from the FBI but I think we need to stop jumping to conclusions on Flynn until we actually hear his testimony. The requests for immunity were likely just smart lawyering, regardless of whether Flynn actually was going to testify to committing serious crimes.

Aside from what we already know of course. Flynn was literally a Secret Agent for a hostile foreign power while working for Trump, both during the campaign and as National Security Advisor. That is a major scandal. I mean it's a blip in the Trump era but if Obama had had a guy like that, it would've been enough to keep the lights on at Fox News for months.

That they don't want him to speak freely. He may go to jail, but that's where they want the buck to stop.

What some billionaire needs to do is to create a totally separate party, then use THAT to attack these GOPers from the right. Not in the primaries but in the generals. Then it can split the right wing vote and usher in some Dems.

If George Soros really wanted to influence politics at the level the Koch brothers are doing it, that's the way imo.

Looks like Flynn is in trouble, but not clear if this will go all the way to the top.
