The morning news isn't reporting the Russia stuff so I guess it's not interesting.

But remember guys, the media isn't to blame for Trump winning.

"They had to know [Sally Yates] was radioactive, and that there would be consequences," said a West Wing confidant. "It was either reckless, or total incompetence. It leads back to the fact that nobody is in charge."

A top source described "borderline chaos" in the White House.

"Some staff is in survival mode ... scared to death," the source said.

Fuuuucckkkking whaaaaattt tttthheeee hhhhheeelllll iiiisssss happpennninnnggggg

This is insane. My retroactive feelings about how Obama handled this has reached critical mass and become a black hole of anger! Why are we talking about this in the context of political theater when it's actually about our country's national security first and foremost?

If direct collusion with a foreign power to destroy your political opponent doesn't qualify as treasonous enough behavior to merit an official presidential response than what does?

Because Obama didn't want to appear as if he was affecting the election.

It all goes back to the "They go low, we go high" mantra that I think hurt democrats this election. It's politics. You have to play the game.

That Trump tweet about Hillary. Completely nonsensical.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

from trump

This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign.

what?!?

i think joe and donald are fighting again lol

Much better overall poll for Trump from Morning Consult

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/poll-trump-democrats-elizabeth-warren-235026

Despite the public's increasing misgivings about Trump's behavior and tactics in the White House, he still beats Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a hypothetical matchup, 42 percent to 36 percent

Trump is, however, maintaining relatively higher approval numbers in the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll than in other public surveys. Forty-nine percent of voters approve of the job he's doing as president in the new poll, and 45 percent disapprove.

 

[Officerrob]

The more he runs his mouth and lies, the more the intelligence community will leak. This is a war he can't win

Depends on whether Trump can get to the leaks before the leaks can get to the truth that is unequivocally damning and can't be so easily denied or spun away from.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Now hes implemting the fbi

 

[sazzy]

I thought he might start sucking up to the IC and the leaks might stop but.... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Donald J. TrumpVerified account
‏@realDonaldTrump

Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia

So Trump just verified the info...

 

[Rebel Leader]

So Trump just verified the info...

I have to agree.


It's like the news obtaining the tax document


"It's a fake document that was illegally obtained "

 

[neurosisxeno]

I also like that he says it's "just like Russia" which leads me to believe he doesn't understand the political system in Russia at all. People who leak information in Russia end up in the locked trunk of their car from a tragic 18 stabwound in the back suicide, and then their loved ones mysteriously vanish...

Well Trump has only been in office a few weeks, give him a chance

 

[nature boy]

This is not Saturday, what's with the crazy tweets?

 

[Pixieking]

I betcha Hillary's downing tequila shots, dancing, and shouting "Payback's a bitch, puppet!"

Now he's talking about crimea

Pence is being walked over by the administration ain't he? Dude should resign..


oh wait, that requires a backbone.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Why resign when you still have the chance to end up president?

Pence is going to be the President very soon.

 

[Diablos]

Pence is going to be the President very soon.

Maybe a couple years.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

So Trump just verified the info...

Someone should trap him by asking if he considers the dossier on him one of these unacceptable leaks

 

[Kinsei]

Pence is going to be the President very soon.

You mean in 5 years when they don't have to worry about getting him reelected?

How long before Republicans in Congress feel unhinged to the WH?

Bibi sure is coming to the US at a great time, lol.

 

[Plinko]

Now Trump is attacking NSA and FBI again?

Oh, yeah, this is going to work out REAL well for him.

One last trip before his indictment.

I have to believe this is intentional. He's trying to suss out the elements in each organization that don't hold him in high regard. He needs more info to get leaked so he can isolate where it's coming from.

 

[chadskin]

I see what you did there.

 

[jmdajr]

Fox News is covering it. Trump must be thrilled.

Let's not give Donald that much credit. He's just lashing out.

We must be into 4-figure-D chess by now. "Trump is a master manipulator! He's playing 7489D chess with the intelligence services!"

If he's trying to suss out the FBI, he's completely lost it, considering just after the election there was an article calling it Trumpland.

 

[The Technomancer]

Okay so this is a huge bombshell

Who among the GOP will do shit about it?

 

[Plinko]

I have to believe this is intentional. He's trying to suss out the elements in each organization that don't hold him in high regard. He needs more info to get leaked so he can isolate where it's coming from.

The problem for him is that he is basically attacking the entire intelligence community. That does nothing but turn them against him.

Hahah! Oh, how have I not seen that before?

Jesus Christ... And this guy is POTUS? Still surreal waking up to nonsensical tweets like this. Fucking hell

 

[Pixieking]

...how?

I. Don't. Know.

I wish I did.

 

[Chococat]

I know it not the most important part of what is going on now but, I wonder when Hillary relieved the "grab them by the puss", the reason Trump visible freaked out on stage was because Russia has similar tapes?

 

[Blader]

"The NSA and FBI should not interfere in our politics" is a very strange thing to say after you just spent over a year both praising and complaining about the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton.

 

[Jacce]

So that new thread about Democratic town halls in the OT is full of "fuck the Democratic Party", I am voting third party over the corporate democrats, unless Mancin is primaried the DNC is just as bad, etc nonsense.

How after Trump is so many on the left still saying these things?

 

[Wilsongt]

And encouraging the IC to investigate her. Dude is just saying shit right now. Maybe he's in panic mode.

Because fundamentally parts of the left are far more concerned with purity tests than anything else. The rabid right by and large are happier to get power then twist arms.
