Thats not nothing... and trump wont even go that far.

Instead trump helps Putin by denying there was any interference or attempts at influence in our elections and he will do nothing to prevent it in the future. Thats the new republican party. They cant be trusted to protect one of our most important rights. Well thats not really new with voter ID and all...

gotta admit, Flynn getting immunity then blasting obama to heck in testimony would've been incredible theater.

I've been amusing myself with the idea of Trump himself getting offered immunity, then sitting in the dock and proudly boasting about a lengthy series of crimes while his legal team all just sit there facepalming.

Spiceman: Trump is determined to find out the causes of autism and is lighting the WH blue to show support.

If no reporter asks if Trump still believes vaccines cause autism I will be very disappointed.

On the subject of recent Shield mentions - I happened to find on the googles just now that it's getting a 4K re-release sometime this year. CAN'T WAIT

I don't remember if it was posted ITT but there was something on Twitter yesterday about how Trump's schedule is always booked during Spicey's briefings and he's been seen getting notes that are presumed to be from Trump, so the lateness could just be last minute bellowings from the Orange One.

You are exactly correct about my detached observational tone. I clearly do not believe the Republic is in danger. I respect that you disagree.

The detached tone is you dodging the question, awval, because you're too cowardly to own up and say you support Trump's policies.

Also how many newspaper subscriptions must one have to make a declarative statement like that?

Also really irritating that no one will ask about Israel building the first new settlement in 20 years in the West Bank

I think Trump made his stance clear when Bibi was in town:

Quote:

As far as settlements, I’d like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit. We’ll work something out. But I would like to see a deal be made. I think a deal will be made. I know that every President would like to. Most of them have not started until late because they never thought it was possible. And it wasn’t possible because they didn't do it.

But Bibi and I have known each other a long time -- a smart man, great negotiator. And I think we're going to make a deal. It might be a bigger and better deal than people in this room even understand. That's a possibility. So let’s see what we do.
