Things are getting crazier and crazier if Trump (and America) survives the next month without a complete and total breakdown I'd be shocked.

Journalist says Omarosa Manigault bullied her and mentioned a ‘dossier' on her



Ryan, a veteran White House correspondent for the American Urban Radio Networks, used the same phrase repeatedly in an interview. ”She stood right in my face like she was going to hit me," Ryan said. ”I said, ‘You better back up.' . . . She thought I would be bullied. I won't be."

Spicer did not respond to a request for comment.

The argument apparently stemmed from emails that Manigault sent to Ryan during the presidential campaign.

”This story suggests that as a reporter, you are (or were) a paid Clinton surrogate," Manigault wrote in the email. ”I pray this is not true! This could be hurtful to your legacy and the integrity of your work."

Manigault sent a second email to Ryan a few minutes later. It read, ”Protect your legacy!! You have worked too hard to have people question your ethics as a journalist. People talking trash about the reporters on that list having NO integrity. It's hurtful to hear people say those things about you."

Ryan said she was devastated by any intimation that she was unethical. ”It's just ugly," she said. ”She's trying to harm my integrity and my career. I've been [covering the White House] for 20 years. I plan to be here for the next 20 years. You don't mess with someone's livelihood."

Fake news isn't sticking with the general population so they're going to start some smear campaigns?

 

[Plinko]

This is my worry. I feel like the Democrats aren't hammering this home. We'll see what happens in the next few days, but they need to go on the attack

Yep--I'm confused as to why nobody has said anything yet. Perhaps they're organizing now.

Do these idiots not read the stories?

They monitor the Russian Ambassador!

Also a FISA warrant would do

They are legit panicking right now. Best Valentine's Day ever?

So much winning

Dems scheduled a 12:30 press conference this morning. They are not going to let this go quietly into the night.

Good. Waiting it will get scarier and scarier. Red Dawn will be a documentary soon.

Trump has been having a total breakdown for the last six years and America has been having a constant breakdown over the last 3.5 weeks.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Even his SC nominee seems stalled lol

I sort of forgot he even named someone. I think the Democrats will have a super easy time just never allowing the SC nominee until further notice.

It turns out electing the party of small government into complete power is detrimental to actually getting anything passed within the government.

 

[Gruco]

I love how rapidly Republicans move to weaponize anything that's ever been used against them. From Bush - > Obama vacations, to "fake news" to now apparently "man the word 'dossier' sounds bad I should start using it more."

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I predict some inspired Onion articles this week.

 

[TylerD]

The Benny Hill theme would be a perfect soundtrack for the Trump administration at this point. Day 25.

@CNN: BREAKING: GOP senators call for investigation into connections between Trump and Russia, want Flynn to testify https://t.co/iR0kvqsm2m https://t.co/YzyOSyiZE0

Under oath pls.

 

[Blader]

I truly believe this Flynn resignation is just euler's number dimensional chess to distract us from Shulkin's confirmation as VA secretary.

Who's left to confirm now? Ross, Pruitt, Mulvaney, Perdue, McMahon? Have Perry and Carson already gone through?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Under oath pls.

Better be but he will just bullshit the whole thing.

They're weaponizing the power of BOTH SIDES, intentionally or unintentionally.

Thanks for the link, the Democrats here are really going on the offense against GOP officials.

 

[jtb]

Aw poor Greenwald, flailing to spin this as "all poor Flynn wanted was better relations with Russia!"

Fucking idiot.

 

[BigJonsson]

Cummings quoted Flynn's Twitter, but isn't it an unverified Twitter account that may not actually be him?

It sounds like the dems and meida are using the GOP playbook.

That's the standard question since Watergate.

And the underlying accusation here is much, much bigger. Nice try at "both sides"-ing it though!

EDIT: 3x NINJA'D!

This is the start of the impeachment proceedings.

But can you blame me? it was used alot by the GOP

I'm not trying to "both sides" at all

I remember constantly hearing it during the benghazi incident for days on end

Funny enough, Howard Baker was a Republican Senator from Tennessee. Can see his university building from my apartment.

Back then they put country before party.

 

[Blader]

Speaking of which, I noticed the other day that All the President's Men is streaming on HBO now. Think I'm gonna queue that up to (re)watch this weekend.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Why are they talking about Flynn's tweets? I thought his account was deleted?

 

[Rebel Leader]

a new account popped up.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Isn't that one fake though?

 

[Frank the Great]

Is this Flynn-gate

Or Russia-gate

Or Putin-gate

The list goes on.

These are the tough questions we need the media to answer

 

[Rebel Leader]

I don't doubt it. I have no idea why they are using that one.

I like peepee-gate because it's the most embarassing.

Only because of insistent reporting from the papers. The break in was in 1972 and nixon didn't resign until 1974. It wasn't till July 1973 when the tapes were revealed

Part of the problem with Dems is they aren't really good at perpetuating a media narrative on shit like this. If this were a Democrat, you'd have GOP hacks screaming "TREASON" 24/7 on cable news. We need Democrats doing the same exact thing right now, for the next 2-4 years.

Seriously, They need to scream to the hills that Republicans are committing treason.

 

[Wilsongt]

Asked on Tuesday morning about the conspicuous silence of Republican leadership about the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) dismissed the scandal.
“Well, it’s Valentine’s Day and I guess they’re having breakfast with their wives,” Collins said during a CNN interview with Chris Cuomo. “Really, all I can say is I’m sorry to see Gen. Flynn go. I don’t know the details of what transpired. I do know Gen. Flynn, I know that he’s very loyal to President Trump, I know he’s a great American.”

Sure Jan

I'm not sure they will even though they could.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Nice to hear Pelosi calling out the White House/Republicans for not pushing any bills out/getting anything done.

 

[aspiegamer]

Ooh, if the media is boarding the "what did _____ know about _____ and when did they know it?" train, that's code for shit is about to go down.

 

[smokeymicpot]

By a vote of 23-15, Republicans just voted to not request President Trump's tax returns from the Treasury Department.

Big news day.

 

[Nelo Ice]

I'm not sure they will even though they could.

If they won't then we need to take to the streets and scream at every Republican town hall that they are committing treason. This can't be ignored and we need to call out the GOP for what they are traitors.

 

[Wilsongt]

Tennessee trying to make it so you don't get in trouble running over protestors in the road blocking the street

Lol
