:siren::siren::siren: The GOP has finally arrived at what caused Benghazi :siren::siren::siren:

And it was with a mind at prevention... When push comes to shove, was it ensuring Secretary Tillerson had operational control of embassies? No... it was arguing not to slash the budget of the State Department.

This is another stupid loving angle the Republicans keep trying to get soundbites for during these open hearings, along with "I've seen no evidence"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't foreign money prohibited in election campaigns? Or was that one of the OTHER good things from McCain/Feingold that is now gone?

Ok, I'm sorry. I just thought it was better now that we have the evidence to support the Russia assertions rather than two months ago when she started off every show with breathless speculation, including implying that Putin personally ordered Trump to bomb Syria to throw off suspicion.

Except it wasn't breathless speculation. She was connecting the dots of Pence lying about Flynn back in March.

Also, this is a huge loving story. You HAVE to spend time investigating it. You don't wait for someone else to break the scoop AND THEN start talking about it. Nevermind that pressure from Maddow and CNN has caused several forced errors out of the White House that have caused this to balloon even farther.

Without MSM focusing so much on Russia, do you think Donald "Rating" Trump would have fired Comey? Maybe, but I personally believe Trump fired him because Comey was upstaging him in the news.

She's now the highest rated cable TV news show. It's almost like this story has legs and people are interested in hearing about it.

Fox's refusal to cover the Russia story has caused it to drop to 3rd and sometimes 4th place behind CNN and MSNBC. Fox has trailed those two in rating longer now than at any point in the last 17 years.

The Russia story might as well be the only thing going on in Washington.

She's always seemed pretty eyes-open about the deal she's effectively struck so it really all comes down to the prenup and what she gets for her ten years of loyal service as soon as she's replaced with a younger model.

She probably was about to serve him divorce papers and signed a contract to stay on if he won the presidency and she figured that was easy money and signed immediately.

I can't wait for her loving book in 10 years.

Maybe?

In any case, Trump probably didn't know what he was talking about. Nuclear powered subs? Well yeah, there's two for every carrier group, but they don't carry SLBMs. The guided missile subs visiting South Korea that have already been written about? No big deal.

It's pretty unlikely he would even know where the US's boomers are. I guess he could ask?

It's hard to say, primarily because he's so loving stupid.

I mean, aren't -all- of our submarines nuclear-powered?

I'm aware that this doesn't mean they carry nuclear tridents missiles, but does Trump know that? Even if he was told the difference in a briefing, would he know?

As much as we complain about echo chambers and the increasing partisan divide in the country, what the gently caress are we supposed to do about it? That woman in Walmart is the norm. Every time I make the mistake of glancing at the comment section of a news article that involves race, I see a bunch of people like her. These people are loving gross, and it's seriously depressing to interact with them.

Yup. I made this point the other day re: right-winger dipshits and transgender people.

How the gently caress are we supposed to co-exist? How is it possible for us to get our news from the same outlets?

The answer: we aren't, and we don't.

We will drift apart from one another forever until something happens that forces the fringes to the center, or we break apart like a dividing cell.

Everyone with any decency already left the GOP. As has been said many times here before: Why would you be a Republican unless you're interested in tax cuts, punishing the poor, or hating and restricting the rights of minorities of women, or care more about dead babies than living ones?

They're not a party with a vision for the future. They're just a party that wants to fellate the rich while selling an imagined fantasy of the past.

A lot of right-wing people still genuinely believe in the rising tides bullshit propaganda. These people are decent, just not particularly discerning or skeptical.

The funny thing about this is that they don't, because they literally can't afford to project power like that anymore. If Putin himself said they did, I still wouldn't believe it. I'm betting there hasn't bee a Russian submarine within striking distance of the US mainland since the 80's.

As for Rosenstein, I'm not entirely sure that's what happened. Everyone seems worried about him being a survivor, so maybe he saw the end coming before everyone else was willing to accept it.

I don't think he was ever a toadie. He definitely saw himself being painted into a corner that would drag him down with the administration and cut himself right the gently caress out of it, though.
