US Politics

[pigseye]

Head of Dem IC has been invited to the wh to view the evidence that barry was spying on US citizens during the election (Watergate)

wh encourages Flynn to testify in Russian meddling (McCarthyism)

It's the Dems who have turned the clock back 50 years. They have no power in government and are only relevant when they are creating conspiracy theories. Looks good on them.

And CNN's parent company, was just bought by ATT who just received that whopper contract for broadband for all first responders across the US. Won't be long before they start towing the company line too.

Might be too much ill will, built up between Trump administration and the US security agencies.    Most of it initiated by the Donald.

And his deflection attempts have begun:

 

I understand this may have been quite entertaining to see Spicey dance all over a number of topics.

That would be a pretty lousy prosecutor. I would think they don't just grant immunity without an idea as to what they're getting in return. 

They don't have to grant it at all. They could make him testify and potentially prosecute him regardless. Plus waiting risks someone else taking immunity before you can. 

This makes it clear why the admin was lying about Flynn and Manaforts roles a couple weeks ago. They suspected this was potentially coming. 

Now the back channel solution is to lean on Flynn to take a bullet for Trump and get pardoned down the road. 

Exactly but Trump defending and encouraging Flynn to seek immunity so he can tell the 'real' story. Sort of supports my feel of what Flynn wants to do. Get up there lie, distract and befuddle and not be formally held accountable for his words. Fits the current administration's mo. It seems at this point prosecution not falling for it.

I think trump just thinks he's untouchable. I think he's legitimately be baffled about why he's there.....as he's hauled to prison.

More deflection. SMH What a fool.

It would be interesting to really know just how popular (or lack thereof) Trump is with the American people. With his performance so far doesn't a 35% seem rather high?

[Jacquie]

You would think but there are enough idiots who actually believe his crap and support him to get him to 35%.

Here's another example of the changes in immigration policies.

Enough idiots to make Trump President.....

yes, the liberals against hillary were convinced that Trump would be less interested in war than she would have been. I read that many times, articles, comments, and the like. Don't vote for Hillary, she'll start ww 3.

Every political group/party/persuasion has it's share of idiots.

meanwhile...

Quote

 

HARTFORD —a key legislative committee on Wednesday approved legislation that would regulate the use of drones by law enforcement agencies and the public.

 the bill easily cleared the Judiciary Committee and heads to the House floor.

While civilian drones would be prohibited from armaments such as guns, tear-gas canisters and other controversial equipment under the bill, police would be able to arm their drones.

 

What could possibly go wrong.

[The Unknown Poster]

The thing about Trump's approval rating is that as it plummets, the things that turn off the majority of people will embolden the few that really love him.  His base will be the racists and bigots the so-far-right-wing crowd who doesn't care who or what runs the party just as long as its their party that wins.  He can never drop to 0.

Here is the first in a four-part series from the L.A. Times on Trump where they don't pull any punches.

Trump to CNN during the election campaign:

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

Part 2 is up now and parts 3 & 4 are Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.

It's been quite an interesting editorial so far.

Looks like those Somalis mostly live in mud huts and have sticks so they must qualify as a threat to the USA.  Good to go.

There's no proof she did anything.
