Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

I don't think anyone gives a shit what GG says besides you and Morbs

Glenn Greenwald is so excruciatingly irrelevant. Dunno why Putin bothers keeping him on the dole tbh

How is it this asshole can spend the final month of the election attacking Trump's opponent, and with each and every scandal coming up can go 'well actually', and still be considered part of the resistance?

only the uncritical and relentlessly on-message can #resist

Are we nearing the point where those who have been even tacitly backing these fuckers will start seeing the writing on the wall and backpedaling for not just the sake of their careers but also to avoid being painted with a broad brush of treason?

Like, even if Russia is gaining favor with a certain portion of the GOP constituency, there has to be a point where the elected officials start to realize that aligning themselves with that faction is going to severely bite them on the ass eventually. Right?

what kind of name is Isgur

I'm goin on down to Isgur's farm, gonna join in a rock & roll band.

So this is almost certainly an intentional 'okay, release the hounds' moment on the part of someone(s), right? No way does this much insane shit drop at once without a guiding hand.

Raising the question ppl itt have been asking over and over again: hey, mightn't some of this information come in handy in FUCKIN OCTOBER?

Kevin McCarthy, house majority leader, says Sessions should recuse from investigation.

Kevin McCarthy, house majority leader, should aim higher in his demands

I guess McCarthy is a rino cuck squish beta

Kevin McCarthy, house majority leader, should have read art of the deal and ratcheted his initial offer higher

He should resign. That should be the the demand from anyone near the aisle.

Almost 9 o'clock and he still hasn't tweeted about this. Maybe the pivot is real.

so now the plan unfolds: Get the most racist Senator to resign and take a job that he will also have to resign from. Donald Trump--the least racist person you've ever seen.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein statement on Jeff Sessions: “If the attorney general refuses to recuse himself, he should resign.”

this is dumb. just do what the other democrats are doing and call for his resignation!!! not "if he doesn't recuse himself"

"if he doesn't share his Laffy Taffy with the rest of Congress, he should resign"

congrats crüt, working for Tombot must mean some long green

only the uncritical and relentlessly on-message can #resist

yep, like Stoogey Perez!

try harder

even Chaffetz asking him to recuse, what an upstanding man that always does what is right when presented with no other possible choice

yep, like Stoogey Perez!

isn't that a minor gangster in issue #13 of "Flaming Carrot"?

imo this Russia story would have fallen down the same memory hole that Clinton's 1996 China money one did if Trump didn't keep promoting people involved with it.

like if the GOP stance right now, which it seems to be, is "he should recuse himself" then really the dem response should uniformly be "he should resign"

The weird part of this whole thing is that @alfranken never even asked @jeffsessions if he had met with Russia in that question

This is true - he only talked about other surrogates, so Sessions actually willfully inserted himself into the answer.

xpost Schumer is expected to call for resignation next

You know the weirdest thing about this? That the Russian stuff should take out or compromise the two *most* experienced people in Trump's circle first. Usually scandals work their way up!

I'm still back on "it's fine to put a demonstrable racist in the AG position but god forbid he talk to a foreign power as may have been mandated by his position on a committee"

And usually they dont metastasize in the first month of a new presidency

Xp

xpost yeah seriously "I thought the Ku Klux Klan was alright until I learned they smoke pot" is something an AG is ok to have said in their past because it was a 'joek'....

Yeah JinC, the poetic-justice bit is that political neophytes and amateurs often don't have the track records necessary to allow them to be indicted with their own words.* Sessions is on record from Clinton impeachment days, providing lots of hypocrisy talking points.

* = Though Trump is valiantly trying to provide lots of hypocrisy talking points in a short period of time; witness everything he said about golf being the indicator of an unserious Obama, yet playing impressive amounts of golf.

no Trump Twitter freak out yet ...

DJP is right of course, but the goal is getting rid of these fuckers/politically crippling them. The actual rationale behind it - unappetizing as it may be - is secondary. Have to use the most effective weapons available.

claire mccaskill calling for his resign as well. that's good! but what's bad is that she also tweeted this:

Claire McCaskill‏
@clairecmc
I've been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years.No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel Com.
2 Mar 2017

which would be fine, except about 4 years ago she also tweeted

Claire McCaskill ✔ @clairecmc
Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all US adoptions,even those in process.
9:25 AM - 30 Jan 2013

gop in 2017 basically = hey everyone be cool. colluding with Russia to influence an election and v possibly treason in the service of Preserving the White Race is really nbd.

it is so unfairly how they are being treated

Lol, and of course Greenwald is over this as well. The difference is, though, that Sessions said he was there as Armed Services Committee member, which makes no sense. McCaskill there in a meeting on adoptions, which does. So one is lying, and one is forgetting.

His denials are so strange and contradictory and circular and really suspicious. He's been given numerous outs already and he keeps twisting and weaseling.

I'm sure the Armed Services Committee spends a lot of time debating Russian adoptions

The tone is just so nasty. Can't they ask about Russian interference in democracy without making anyone feel put on the spot? Totally unfair.

I'm sure the Armed Services Committee spends a lot of time debating Russian adoptions

I'm not sure I understand this post, but no, they probably don't. That's exactly the point, McCaskill's claim was to debunk that Sessions would meet the ambassador as an Armed Services Committee member, so that she meets him on adoptions doesn't disprove that point, no?

God are you dense.

God are you dense.

Not sure I get this. Are you saying that Fred is God, or that his mind has achieved a density comparable to the lord's?

Well, after reading a bunch of people making the exact same mistake DJP did, it wan't clear he was doing it sarcastically. Sorry DJP.

Not sure I get this. are you saying DJP is sorry?

Yes.

@tinyrevolution
The House passed two articles of impeachment against Clinton in 1998. Article I was solely about perjury

TBF adopted Russian children are oddly really skilled debaters

schumer officially calls for resignation, more GOP calls for recusing.

Trump must be on the toilet

Wouldn't that suggest we should see a tweet any minute now?
