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

Last three tweets by this guy (resume/bio here) seem of note:

Rob Kelner is a very good lawyer who knows when a client needs immunity. And if Rob says Flynn has a "story to tell", WH should watch out....Flynn's choice of Rob Kelner is itself significant. He was no fan of Trump and is not part of the Trump wing of GOP. A very principled guy....Flynn wisely chose a lawyer who owes nothing to the Trump WH. Rob will provide independent counsel to a guy with "a story to tell."

Schiff a few hours back:

Received WH invite to review docs. I've accepted, here’s my reply. If same docs provided to Chair last wk, WH has a lot of explaining to do.

i never really felt like we'd see a president pence at least not until after 2018 for sure but w/ this shit escalating, GOP tensions, horrible outlook for major GOP legislation, and trump's abysmal approval ratings is there a small tiny ~1%-5% chance??? all hail president mike pence??

Third WH official named in the Nunes thing:

Also, apparently you're not supposed to look Tillerson in the eye:

With Putin's help, anything is possible, and this is one of his specialties

yer stranded somewhere btwn reality, Yakov Smirnoff and Vince Foster

Putin's perfectly happy w current situation - a weakened and bumbling prez serves his interest. He's not gonna do anything to "help" Trump, the schmuck has already served his purpose.

weird watching "left twitter" really really double down on how Hillary is anti-christ when Trump/ GOP malfeasance starts boiling over

we get it guys. i didn't much care for her either. but you know, fuck off for 5 minutes.

just use the killfile or something jesus Christ

there's no killfile on zing

tho tbf i guess a lot of those folks are prob hate-following a bunch of HRC lunatics that i avoid like a burning building

yer stranded somewhere btwn reality, Yakov Smirnoff and Vince Foster

in Soviet Russia, post flags you

how Hillary is anti-Christ irrelevant atm

there. fixed.

^ brief and worthwhile

articles like that are why I'm ever afraid to react with joy to stories like this one because I know so damn little about the legal system and how these things work I can't tell what's serious shit and what's "a story stretched by an eager media"

it does make sense though - I never actually expected Flynn to publicly state he wanted to make a deal when those whispers started last week

lol wtf

was that a tweet or a Menshn

Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov (Russian: 1939 – 1993) was a journalist for RIA Novosti and a former PGU KGB informant from the Soviet Union who defected to Canada.

the new york times made me laugh out loud today with this gem of a sentence:

"The reasons Mr. Trump’s threats may well have about as much bite as a catfish — scary appearance, weak teeth — are many."

Trump’s Threats Against Freedom Caucus Cause Few Shivers of Fear

Between the pinned Slayer tweet and the fact he has been dead for 25 years you'd have thought she would have realised - though Mensch also thought Charlie Hebdo was a real person and loudly proclaimed she wouldn't debate Theodor Hertzl.

I like the guy in the mentions pointing out it was a fake account and linking to what he thought was the real one.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

4:04 AM - 31 Mar 2017

the work of media-manipulation mastermind stephen k bannon, everyone

that tweet seems....not very smart

sorry to be a pedant, but you seem to have misspelled 'president' as 'tweet'

I've been reading about the people who steered the GOP rightward in the '60s, and as awful as they are ideologically, they did at least all seem capable of constructing a fucking coherent sentence in their native language.

but then again it was an era where no one said "melty cheese"

and used Hellman's on everything

but then again it was an era where no one said "melty cheese"

morbs... otm???

Who needs melty cheese when you're encasing all of your incongruous foodstuffs in aspic?

so wtf do we think these documents are? some signed papers by Obama saying 'yo UK pleze to spy on trump tnx'? Do we think they're going to turn out to be forgeries?

or, more likely, something completely on the up and up and legitimate but utterly misunderstood and mischaracterized by the WH?

who the fuck says 'melty cheese' now, ever, and why?

The same people that describe things as "ooey gooey"

http://www.wbur.org/news/2017/03/30/green-card-ice-arrests-lawrence

Federal immigration officers arrested five people in Lawrence on Wednesday when they showed up for scheduled appointments at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office.

WBUR has confirmed that at least three of those arrested were beginning the process to become legal permanent residents. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says the agency had orders to detain each of the five individuals for deportation.

this push to make non-us-born folks of any legal status terrified to ever interact with authorities seems like a great idea, no chance it'll be counter-productive at all

Historically, the US has suffered zero blowback from shoving people around. People on the receiving end tend to assume that we know what's best and just go with the flow.

Any updates on Mexico's threats to stop buying corn from us? They need to get on that ASAP.

Whoops!

NYT/WP report WH lawyer Michael Ellis helped Nunes

NBC: Did you help provide Devin Nunes w/ intel?

Ellis: “I’m not talking about anything”

...

WashPost reports top NSC lawyer John Eisenberg was also involved:

Eisenberg to NBC this a.m.: “I have no idea” … “I have nothing to say”

This whole story is fun

https://www.axios.com/trump-baffled-and-brooding-searches-for-a-new-approach-2337876385.html

i have zero doubt that these knucklehead ICE officers have targets. quotas. and have been given the go-ahead to be "clever". give people targets and they will figure out the most perverse ways of reaching them.

it's utterly immoral what they did in kansas. fucking shit it makes my blood boil.

Flynn not much of a 'witch hunt' when the dude is metaphorically flying around on a broom in front of us
