Cooked Crack

Trump has no intent whatsoever on

challenging Putin. He'll continue to bow down and Republicans will look the other way.

I want to know what the jury heard that made them decide not guilty cuz I haven't heard anything yet about him going for the gun - only that he allegedly didn't hand over the gun (or something to that effect) when he told the officer he had one and a permit to have one. 

 

Maybe something will come out??? Just weird that I haven't heard anything that makes it justifiable. He's not guilty cuz he had the misfortune of having a bad witness? 

 

Im gonna want to hear more than that. 

This is America. Police can pull up, shoot a kid in 1 second and beat the case. Justice isn't afforded to all. The more people accept it the better we'd be.

Republicans hella weird. These grown ass men crying about Pence and not thinking twice about the people they are about to kick off healthcare.

To the idiot's credit, he listened to the people. However he came to that conclusion, he at least recognizes it must be improved. I'm sure he doesn't understand the nuances of the bill, but is at least willing to make them work on it. 

You're giving Trump way too much credit. If the Senate changed nothing from the House bill, I guarantee he would still sign this turd. He's going to sign whatever they put in front of him and chalk it up as a win. They are going to be pounding beers on the White House lawn again.

Trump sees the polls and know this bill is a turd. Yet he'll still going to sign the bill that comes across his desk. Still don't understand the calculation Republicans are making for this to be the hill they die on.

Can someone post a good link to a livestream of Sessions' open testimony here?  For some reason with Comey's hearing, none of the links I tried worked well except the one posted on a thread here...

I always go with PBS NewsHour. No ads or comments.

In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.

Wait, what?

Excerpts from Comey's opening statement. Tomorrow's going to be nuts.

Expect a Trump/Comey/Russia story to drop in a couple hours.

We gave an NSA security clearance to somebody named Reality Winner?  

 

Sounds more like a race horse than a person.

If you post spoilers I will shove your ass in front of a train. LOL

Yeah held off on any spoilers. Was really close to typing something less vague. Watchinge this season makes me think of Trump more. Like would Trump do that? It's still ridiculous and over the top but so is reality now.

Other than the fact that Frank shoved that girl in front of a metro train...yes he would be a massive upgrade, at least he has a grasp of national and international politics.

The Underwood body count seems to grow with every season. I've finished the latest season. I'll give it to Trump because I can't support murderers. Just like in real life I'm just waiting for the downfall of this regime. Also just like in real life there are some Russian shenanigans this season.

So Russia tried to get into our voting machines and this Administration tries to reward them by attempting to ease sanctions? I don't see how anyone can look at this and think this is normal. I'm sure we'll hear that the President has these rights and no machines were actually compromised. The real story is the leaks! Everything is being swept under the rug. We need a fact finding committee for all the non criminal acts of scumbaggery. 

When is the Trump is weak narrative coming? I can't imagine Republicans think giving Russia their spy compounds is a show of strength. Is this gonna be another case of just saying this is within the rights of the President?

Kush talking to the Russians. Flynn talking to the Russians. It's highly unlikely these guys are deciding to talk to the Russians on their own. Who actually thinks going to the Russian Embassy to trade messages is what legitimate administrations do.

Attacking the press is just a way to get the base excited. Just wait till 2020 when Trump is clotheslining Chuck Todd.

These poor old folks obviously going to have to cut down on iPhone purchases if they want to live.

So Comey kept memos and Rogers has memos. Trump is just making it easy for the special counsel. This definitely seems like obstruction of Justice.

First tweet almost seems like Trump is bragging.

Wait so is Trump on stage 5 of the 5 stages or did someone slip him a handful of ritalin?

 

Did he go to the doctor's this morning and start getting treated for neurosyphilis and it kicked in around 8pm?

I think Trump being calm is a sign he's worried it might come crumbling down. The only other time I've seen Trump calm is the debate after the Access Hollywood tapes. He was very low energy initially. Then he eventually went back to himself. This calmness won't last. Would really like to see the people who cover Trump and know how his psyche works explain his reaction.

So Mike Pence, as head of the transition team, was fine with Flynn being under investigation but not with Flynn lying to him about the Russians? So many red flags with this guy and they still chose to keep him. Pence needs to explain this. Also, Don McGahn has to be the worst counsel ever. He's f'in up in every story where I see his name.

So basically confirming what most of us took it for already. Trump is dangerous, buffoonish braggart who doesn't fully comprehend or seem to care about the gravity of the information he gets or the gravity of his office in general.

Pretty much. This does raise some questions. Is the IC not fully breifing Trump cause they are afraid it will get in the wrong hands? Is Trump's learning style not allowing him to be fully briefed? Like Trump wants everything condensed in large don't and bullet points. Maybe that style doesn't work so well when you are supposed to be protecting a country.

Im confused...

 

Did he not just say, before walking out: the president wasn't briefed on the information he supposedly gave over

 

?

He said the President wasn't aware where the information came from. He knew the intel but didn't know how we got it. So he's off running his mouth not fully knowing how sensitive the information is. That's what I got from that.

There goes the media again using unnamed countries. This is why no one believes the press anymore!
