That would be the most hosed up thing in American history in at least the last fifty years or so right? If one entire political party sold america up the river just to get 4-8 years of control.

Probably in its history man. We are in seriously uncharted territory, and since the GOP has been shamelessly gerrymandering for years, has been progressively ramping up their attacks on the D's to the point of eight loving years of holding the country to ransom unless they get their way... it's not outside the realm of possibility anymore. I'd like to think it couldn't happen but HAHA 2017

like of all the loving pictures he could have chosen for his profile one of him squinting semi-angrily into the distance is the best he could come up with
i bet he chose it because he thinks it makes him look tough or something

Its pretty simple. He is being dragged before congress to clarify his statements, because the Republicans will use it to hand waive the fact that he committed perjury. The dems will still cry for him to resign but because they are minorities in both House and Senate, it means nothing.

Essentially "lol nothing matters nor will anything happen" barring some serious poo poo rolling out where literally nothing can be done to protect him and he is forced to resign. Or Al Franklin hears a lie that finally breaks him and he uses his bare hands to remove Sessions's lungs from his body in the middle of the review.

I'm hoping for the latter.

I still can't really wrap my head around how these people clearly value their power more than actually helping people, but I guess that's politicians for you.

Uhh sessions refused himself and the administration is playing defense. Sessions also doesn't have deniability pertaining to his impartiality with regards to Russia or leaks concerning the campaign. It was a hugely beneficial political move in laying a foundation for isolating the trump administration from Congress.

It's not a panacea but to call it ineffective ignores alot of significant developments

i really can't imagine if this all was truly fake news that you'd have people resigning and recusing themselves

Just so we all have our expectations rooted in reality:

Everyone around trump could resign because of shady poo poo, you could have Trump in a 4K HD video talking face to face with Putin, admitting to banging Ivanka immediately after saying verbatim "I need you to make sure I, Donald J Trump, win the election in November 8, 2016 and I will then use taxpayer money to pay what I owe you, Vladimir Putin. My social security number is xxx-xx-xxx" and he still won't get impeached or lose a lot of his core supporters.

Why bring this up now? Is he seriously just learning about the FISA warrants now, or is this some new conspiracy thing? It's real weird, y'all.

If only there was some branch of government dedicated to keeping the president informed. Maybe they could compile all the information and pass it to him at a set time every day. A daily report, if you will.

Every hour of Trump's Presidency spent defending itself is an hour its not doing some other repugnant poo poo. The only question is, how long can Trump keep making mistakes? I'm betting until he strokes out.

Alternatively, you get him so flustered he does something illegal as a backlash.

In thinking about it, if Obama had come out claiming that Bush had been bugging his phones, I would have believed a couple of things:
1) that it was true, because
2) that he had proof because he's not loving stupid enough to start claiming that without some serious hard evidence


Trump claims it and my immediate response is 'haha nope'

so wait is trump freaking out about being wiretapped a result of him learning about the FISA warrant?

the real reason is he's salty as gently caress about all the bad press and scandals surrounding his administration and appointees so he jumped on the next thing he could find that he might be able to stir outrage about

seriously i couldn't stop laughing when i read how angry he is that his big speech is being overshadowed by the swirling maelstrom

No pretty much none, it's generally from people I worked with when I was in IT years ago. Honestly I used to feel pretty much the same but as I've gotten older I've more or less come to accept that the status quo, as imperfect as it is, is a drat sight better than living in an autocratic society.

Shame really, Russian people and culture are pretty rad. It's just that the Russian state is a pile of burning medical waste.

yeah seriously living in such an isolated relatively affluent country does that to people's brains


honestly leaving nz and going to work on ships where i see people ecstatic to work for a couple of hundred a month really opened my eyes to just how loving lucky we are because there is a whole lot of the world that's just hosed
