Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

trump and his kids are funded by russians

Trump hired an NSA who was too fucking stupid to understand the concepts of 'espionage' and 'surveilance'

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was warned by senior members of then President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team about the risks of his contacts with the Russian ambassador weeks before the December call that led to Flynn’s forced resignation, current and former U.S. officials said.

Flynn was told during a late November meeting that Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s conversations were almost certainly being monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies, officials said, a caution that came a month before Flynn was recorded discussing U.S. sanctions against Russia with Kislyak, suggesting that the Trump administration would reevaluate the issue.

Officials were so concerned that Flynn did not fully understand the motives of the Russian ambassador that the head of Trump’s national security council transition team asked Obama administration officials for a classified CIA profile of Kislyak, officials said. The document was delivered within days, officials said, but it is not clear that Flynn ever read it.

is it clear that Flynn can read

it is clear scattered silver spoon donald trump wanted to win so bad he committed treason (with the motherfucking RUSSIANS) and should rot in jail

qualmsley I'm starting to worry about you

donald trump is president, and the us house of representatives just voted to repeal the alternative care act. i'm worried about me, too

*affordable care act

that other thing sounds much different.

I think alternative care act is about right for the new one tbh

They just prescribe you enemas and essential oils for everything.

alternative to livin'

We like to think that there's an alternative to care, and that's what we do.

senate's probably going to spew out the Neo-Healthcare act and basically you go to the doctor and he stabs you in the abdomen for a nice $20 co-pay

Tbf, $20 sounds pretty standard.

Oh, gag me with a spoon. How about just choosing the rule of law, limited government, free markets and reliable American world leadership?

well fuck both of them tbh

Dumbass recognize dumbass

Choose my olive-oil scented joystick

Popeye's best comeback

Lol

How about just choosing the rule of law, limited government, free markets and reliable American world leadership?

Of these, I say yes, yes, no, and yes

Trump says no, no, no, and no

Choose Love over hate; Choose Love over bigotry; Choose Love over darkness; Choose Love over and over and over again.

I'd go with love for the first two but it's really more a vote against hate and bigotry. As for the third, I need more information. Would it, like, NEVER be dark? That fucks with my melatonin.

Good point! The love vs darkness dialectic needs more exploration

so does Cory Booker

short trip

Trump seems to be running out of regressive executive orders he can gin up. Or else the press is suffering from fatigue from reporting so many regressive EOs that they are lagging behind the curve.

What do we think: bitter griping tweets about the French election results, or will he just wander off and act like he never endorsed Le Pen?

Has Trump really just launched an investigation into Stephen Colbert? Even he can't be that stupid can he?

No. Those are just clickbait headlines. The FCC looks at any and every bit of media over which they receive complaints.

95% of which usually come from the parents television council. This was obv a little different.

Pretty sure the standard right-wing line about French elections is that it's another French surrender, this time to unfettered immigration

2:30pm EST today -- could be good!

Trump already attacking her on Twitter, this should be good

So-called former acting attorney general?

Oh Carter Page, will you EVER learn

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/08/politics/carter-page-russian-official/index.html

In an angry nine-page letter, Page attacked the Senate intelligence committee's "bitter" investigation, suggesting it was a "show trial" into potential collusion between associates of President Donald Trump and Russians during the elections. Page said the committee's request for detailed information about his recent contacts with Russians is "preposterous" and "illogical," and is " based on "lies from corrupt politicians."

But he does acknowledge meeting in 2013 with Victor Podobnyy, whom he called a "junior attaché" to Russia at the United Nations, even though US officials believe he is a spy. He said he only had "brief interactions" with Podobnyy and did not expand on what they discussed.

lol @ this idiot but seriously I'd be shocked if anything came out of this guy

My feeling is that Page and Trump colluded with Russian foreign agents but are indignant about charges of collusion because they are not smart enough to understand what 'collusion' means (three syllables).

Elitist!

Keep thinking that's saying "Page and Plant", but hey

lol of course

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/obama-warned-trump-against-hiring-mike-flynn-say-officials-n756316

do you think Mike Flynn is smart enough to know he's a Russian asset

Flynn was smart enough to know what he was doing but not smart enough to figure out that it might eventually bite him on the ass.

maybe jeff jutton is the real freddy hayes?

General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration - but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that.

I dug this, and figure Fred Hampton should be quoted more often nowadays:

Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs

Racism, fascism, and working-class Americans.
By Jesse A. Myerson

Always a pleasure to see Wilhelm Reich cited.

*Nelson laugh*

There's an update on that NBC story:

A senior Trump administration official acknowledged Monday that Obama raised the issue of Flynn, saying the former president made clear he was "not a fan of Michael Flynn." Another official said Obama's remark seemed like it was made in jest.

Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs

I get this as a theoretical statement, but here in Wisconsin, the white flight suburbs are the center of "Trumpism" only insofar as the people who live there are reliable Republican voters; Trump didn't do as well there as previous Republican candidates did. The difference between previous Wisconsin pres elections and this one is, indeed, that white rural voters voted for Trump much more than they voted for previous Republicans, and the city of Milwaukee didn't turn out as strongly as it did for Obama. It's not always about crucial Waukesha county.
