They also said that some people are saying that his tax returns were the greatest, most tremendous tax returns that they'd ever seen.

ok, I'm now convinced he's not going to last the term. I have no idea if it'll be months or years or whether it'll be these particular scandals that will do it, but shit is just going to keep piling up and he's going to keep reacting in ways that make it worse and compound everything. hope those "reactions" don't involve, like, starting new wars

Dude can't even manage the most basic administrative tasks how's he gonna get generals to sign off on a war. I feel he will do his 4 years* and simply have nothing to show for it. Aside from as repuation as a failure.

*dont get me wrong would be hilarious for all the pro trump dudes on my Facebook (maybe 3-4) to sulk more than they already are when he throws in the towel. Watching the smug go silent over the last couple months has nourished me.

Just days earlier, K.T. McFarland, the deputy national security adviser, had given Trump a printout of two Time magazine covers. One, supposedly from the 1970s, warned of a coming ice age; the other, from 2008, about surviving global warming, according to four White House officials familiar with the matter. Trump quickly got lathered up about the media's hypocrisy. But there was a problem. The 1970s cover was fake, part of an Internet hoax that's circulated for years. Staff chased down the truth and intervened before Trump tweeted or talked publicly about it.

“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

Give it another week and we'll find out he was using a private email server to communicate with ISIS.

I am already reading Facebook, twitter, and forum posts - of course some with 'Hillary for prison' avatars - claiming "we don't know what the severity of the classified information is, or if it is even that bad, people are being irrational!" Without any sense of awareness or irony.

Calling it a 'witch hunt' and that 'the liberal media and elitists' are just trying to sabotage his presidency with more Russia nonsense.

The hold of the propaganda, and the power of cognitive dissonance, is seemingly impenetrable.

lol wait, you think that Seth Rich's family is disavowing the report because they don't like the content?

instead of the fact that they didn't ask for it like Fox reported they did?

I am basing that on what they said in the statement and how I'd feel if I was them. I wouldn't want that attention on my family. If the story is real then you're a traitor's family, but if its fake then you steal deal with conspiracy nuts bothering your family. Better to try to disconnect from the story than have your life fucked up by being a political pawn.
