Carter Page has either got to be a plant/double agent or some type of social experiment.

Carter Page has either got to be a plant/double agent or some type of social experiment.

He was just being groomed as an organ bank for Trump, but happened to be standing in the wrong spot when they were groping around for a foreign policy adviser.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-06/trump-jr-said-anti-russia-law-may-be-reviewed-moscow-lawyer-says

Old article, but I still scratch my head how people say no collusion.

Let’s review:
- DJT jr gets an email offering sort on Hillary coming straight from the Russian government, says he loves it.
- goes to meeting.
- info from above:

Looking ahead, if we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it,’’ Trump Jr. said of the 2012 law, Bloomberg cited Veselnitskaya as saying. “I understand our side may have messed up, but it’ll take a long time to get to the bottom of it.”

She also said that Trump Jr. had asked her for written proof of her claim that Ziff Brothers Investments had evaded U.S. taxes while donating heavily to Clinton and other Democratic candidates. As she didn’t have that, the meeting quickly ran into the sand, she said.

- trump successfully removes Russian sanction from party platform
- trump gets elected.
- trump starts obstructing Justice
- trump blocks Russian sanctions

Now, I don’t think Veselnitskaya is telling the 100% truth, neither is do JR, Trump, or anyone else about the situation.

But if you take her words at face value, Don Jr clearly tried to collude. The only way someone could call this “just chatting” is if you take the similarly dumb argument that Trump didn’t try to get Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn, because he asked him and didn’t order him to.

The only real question is what was Veselnitskaya lying about? Was she lying about what she offered Trump, or was she lying about what he said in response. I guess it depends if you don’t think Russia is Chaotic Evil or Lawful Evil.

[Brehvolution]

According to rightists, that Don jr meeting was actually set up by Obama to frame lil Donnie.

If Hope Hicks sends Pence an email, does he have to wait until his wife is there to read it?

He's purposely insulating himself from the hammer falling; he'll claim ignorance.

Now this would be conjecture if he hadn't already done this once.

Are you saying he "acid washed" THE EMAILS? Sneaky Mike is at it again, sad!

[Nintex]

TFW the libruls and FBI can't catch you because you don't use e-mail


So that means that even if this thing blows up and Donnie resigns... the Democrats and Bernies will be stuck with Mike Pence.

During a discussion about LGBTQ rights, the President motioned to Mr Pence and said: “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!”

So much for the FBI's insurance policy

Hmmm, someone needs to ask Pence if they are the Bernstein or Bernstain bears.

He will know this because he loves Jeebus.

Honestly mixed on Pence. Sure he is far less likely to get us all killed, but unlike Don he knows how to get shit done politically and I am not keen on anything he'd want to do.

Jane,

If this was an essay on economics, it would be the best essay on economics I've read in a year or more.

If this was an essay on social structures, it would be the best essay on social structures I've read on a year or more.

If this was an essay on conservative versus reformer mindsets, it would be the best essay on *that* that I've read in a year or more.

In fact, it was all three of those things, and I'm frankly stunned at how excellently you've made so many points in such a short space.

Bravo

…there really is an old DJT tweet for every situation.

[Joe Molotov]

Nunes admitted, under the intense grilling of Fox & Friends of all places, that okay maybe the FISA application did say that some information came from “a political source” bububu it didn’t specifically say it was direct from the mouth of Hillary Benghazi Emails Clinton herself  so it’s still basically treason.

[Great Rumbler]

So, apparently the "Dems are un-American and possibly treasonous for not clapping at the SOTU" train is picking up steam:

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said Tuesday that President Donald Trump was not too far off the mark on Monday when he called Democrats’ refrain from clapping and standing during his State of the Union speech “treasonous” and “un-American.”

“I would say it was un-american. And they don’t love our country. I don’t know if I would go as far as treasonous,” Tenney said on CNN Tuesday morning when asked About Trump’s comments about Democrats’ behavior during his speech.

Tenney defended Trump’s criticisms for Democrats, telling CNN that the President just “likes to talk in colorful language.”

“But I sat on the Democratic side, and I was frankly appalled at the behavior of the Democrats,” she added.

This really is the Cloverfield Paradox of Presidential terms...

[Brehvolution]

https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/960857465788264448

Speaking of embarrassing, the CNN host then played a clip of Republicans not clapping for former President Barack Obama while being stoic and sitting on their hands.

“Why wasn’t that embarrassing?” Camerota asked. Collins said it was different when Republicans did that during all of Obama’s SOTUs. The New York Republican said that Democrats were “more subdued” during Trump’s SOTU than Republicans were for Obama’s.

These generals are paid top dollar to kill potential immigrants overseas. I think they get selected for being racist af so they don't care when they bomb a daycare center and a dozen babies are 'collateral damage'.
It might not be so smart to put those guys with all their war trauma's and eat-shit-and-die attitudes in civilian government.

But hey, what do I know, I haven't hosted the Celebrity Apprentice.

[Mandark]

re: dreamers being "too lazy" to register for DACA

At the time, there was a lot of discussion about whether potential beneficiaries would trust the government enough to sign up. They were being asked to hand over information that could easily be used to deport them if the policy were reversed. In light of the current administration, that seems pretty relevant.

Shit, Fox News still hasn't released any statements about the Seth Rich story by Malia Zimmerman that they retracted. And that inlucded a quote that someone high up in government was shutting down the murder investigation. Bananas.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I remember when that Nation story hit and hearing a lot of "oh look a LIBERAL magazine picked up the story, checkmate!" Which was a dead giveaway that the person speaking hadn't been paying attention until very recently. Cause this has been an issue with Katrina vanden Huevel and her husband for a few years now.
