Listening to Bob Baer, it should be common knowledge that any time you speak with a foreign official, there will be a transcript of that conversation. So wouldn't it make sense for Trumps team to know this incidental collection must have occurred, to locate it, and then to have Nunes present it as a blowback to the fallout from Trump's wiretapping claims?

It feels like the Pubs are trying to light a backfire, but it feels desperate. The Manafort stuff seems to have really hit a nerve. Trump supporters will just see this as evidence that Trump was right about the surveillance, and I imagine Trump will gloat about it. I love listening to Bernstein. I wish they would have a Bernstein, Gergen, Axelrod show. I enjoy their insight.

My brother is a big Trump supporter as well. It makes it twice as exhausting when the noise comes from your own family. We don't talk about it at all. I think that's the real problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. It's just hard to have a dialogue when most of his talking points are based on lies/Fox News/Breitbart garbage. I wish I knew a better way.

Obamacare...(new title): GOP DEATH PLAN: Don-Ryan's Express
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy replied to JMS's topic in The Tailgate
Tom Price's town hall on CNN discussing the health care bill is terrifying. Standard talking points about returning the power to the people to make decisions. More shameless lies. We gotta get to single payer eventually. Greatest country on the planet doesn't take care of its own people. It's pathetic. -
The immigration thread: American Melting Pot or Get off my Lawn

I am keenly aware, amigo. Anytime the word "trigger" is brought up, I die a little inside. -

Oh yes, that guy! That whole row looks like a young white supremacist movement. -

Thanks amigo. That game is the most fun I've had on ES this offseason. I always laugh at how the white trash reacts behind him. Murica. -
True. I just can't imagine them being better than Lonzo. I like a lot of the kids coming into the league next year, but Lonzo would be my pick at #1. There are some other guys that might be better players eventually, but I just think Lonzo will elevate the play of his entire team. Kid's a prodigy.

Lonzo's shot looks busted, but his floor game is sick. I expect him to be a great pro. Some guys just make things look easy. He's one of those dudes. I haven't seen the other brothers play yet. I know one dropped about 90 points in a game, but are they supposed to be better than Lonzo? I just can't imagine that they are. The dad's schtick is already tired to me. Dude put up 100 dollar t-shirts and 30 dollar hats for sell. Guy ain't all there.

Arrogance. These guys feel like they can operate with impunity. Trump has never had a humbling day in his life. I've referenced it before, but Trump displays many traits commonly found in your garden variety sociopath. Like many sociopaths, he wants maximum pleasure from his deceits. He takes those stances because he gets off on it. He likes knowing that he can get away with saying anything, so he pushes the boundaries as far as he possibly can. It's a power play.

I think the Sessions thing is big. Not because I think he committed perjury, but because it puts more pressure on him to recuse himself. That gives us a better chance for an independent investigation into the Russia mess. As more potential GOP roadblocks get removed, the more I believe we have a chance at getting the truth. I'm really starting to think this thing will go all the way to the top. Trump's arrogance and "oh yeah, make me" attitude will be his undoing. In the end, we will all be shocked at how these crimes were committed in plain sight.

The last movie you saw......GO! (After you read the OP!!!!)
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy replied to renaissance's topic in The Tailgate
I usually watch a lot of classics in February/March because of the lull before summer movie season gets cranked up. Tonight I got a chance to see Repulsion (1965), the early Roman Polanski flick. Most people are familiar with his later work like Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby, or his much later acclaimed work, The Pianist. All of which are on my list of personal favorites. This is a much simpler, more frugal film, but with the same eye for detail and composition. It follows a young lady (the striking Catherine Deneuve) as she loses her mind in her sister's London apartment. Subtle at first, it quickly spirals into total madness. I'd hesitate to recommend this for people who don't like classics (or horror movies for that matter), but it's a must for any true cinephile. There's no other film quite like it. Polanski is a true master. 4/4. -
Javale has always been must see TV for me.

I was thinking about this today. I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, except from a purely entertainment stand point. For instance, I enjoy watching Room 237 to hear about the wild Kubrick moon landing theories, etc. But with this, I feel like I'm telling myself it has to be a conspiracy because it could never be this obvious. But could it?
