This is great but I'm getting last minute Feelings that Northam will win the primary.

Laughable.

Because people tweet about CNN when almost every time he goes on.
I mean, I'm voting for Northam and have no idea what's going to happen cause polling's been pretty all over the map and it's clearly a weird election (in that it's likely not going to be the normal electorate due to the energized Dems.)

That's not a bad statement at all. If you're already inclined to think that western governments are tolerant of radical islamic terrorism (which is almost verbatim what PM May just said the other day) then comparing Trump's tirade to Churchill denouncing Chamberlain's appeasement is reasonable.
The fact that these men were already known to police makes me curious as to how this even managed to happen there. If the answer is "because police can't surveil all those people", then that implies A) there are innumerable people holding extremist views living in London already and/or B) there aren't enough resources to monitor these people, both of which one could very reasonably find disagreeable when it comes to national security.

That's the message you're getting from him going on twitter tirades?
Real winners would know about TOR, if they fancied themselves a leaked / whistleblower.
Did they check this out with their boss

You want to be sure before a statement like that is just, you know, casually put in a speach.
Edit:
Absofuckingloutely nothing. This is covered under the "Hack? hack? No take backs!" class in the constitution.
Err.
What reasonable criticism of "don't be alarmed that there are more police on the streets" can you possibly extrapolate from Trump's tweets?
Cause mofos are quoting him. Every tweet or discussion about this taint just makes him stronger. I don't even have cable or watch CNN but I can name the Trump ball washers. I'm getting second hand knowledge of these people. If people stop reacting to this we'd all be better off.

People are trying to make Van Goghs out of crayon drawings with Trump's words and behavior.
And you know his aides are banging on the locked bathroom door trying to get him to put the phone down since he's only giving the Supreme Court more and more reason to strike down the ban.

Why that rascally (((globalist))).
I don't see how anyone within NATO gives a shit about what Pence says or supports. Pence has been absent in this administration aside making the rounds in the house for the AHCA.

It's odd how angry he seems to be over Sessions' recusal. Or is it?

That's right, we need a TRAVEL BAN for certain DANGEROUS countries, not some politically correct term that won't help us protect our people!

Pence reminds me that I was thinking about how his future career could be ruined by Trump and these scandals.
Picture this: Trump is hit with enough scandal that he should either resign or decline to run again, but he doesn't. That's basically a guaranteed primary challenge. Can Pence reasonably put his name in to primary his running mate?
I doubt it. That would keep him chained to a bad ticket, which would be great.
Trump doesn't care about any position that isn't top level, so the only people he counts on are those top brass. With Sessions recusal, he's essentially lost total control.

Twitter losing it's goddamn mind over these NSA leaks. Conspiracy theories aplenty.

Khantroversy 2: London Calling
if multiple verified accounts reply to the tweet / each other in a chain they will filter to the top right under the tweet. I've seen some funny trolling by tag team verified accounts.
This is where Trump pulls his classic power play and goes anyway.
Of course, if that poll above is accurate and May somehow blows this, then...
Don't they have a debate going on tomorrow?

This Sadiq Khan fellow should be the PM of UK. I wish I existed in timeline where Obama, Trudeau, Macron and Khan were their country's leaders at the same time.

John Schindler is saying the same thing. Both crazy people.
I mean, I guess it would explain Assange's tweets. But still, what?
Okay, I know this is super tangential, but goddamn it seems like Trudeau's entire outward persona is painstakingly manufactured and maintained. Seems real fake at times.
I mean people are acting in strange ways around this leak. Hard to know the truth right now and what the intentions are.

Really? That's surprising. I mean he's a politician in the end, that part will always be true. There will be some theater involved. But on a personal level I think Trudeau is just as energetic, likeable and charming in real life from all the stuff I read and see about him.

Rumors that Trump is trying to slip in Infastructure under reconciliation. That should be quite the shitshow.

For people who think that the recent leaker was part of the constant leaks against Trump: WRONG
For people who think that she was secretly working for the Russians: WRONG
What is much more likely:
She was a newbie NSA contractor that thought she could get away with leaking a big scoop to the press that she literally saw was recently as May 5th. The only press outlet that would bite is the intercept because she was not the usual source of leaks and because the intercept was stupid enough to run with a story that would clearly be easily traced back to the leaker. The intercept decided to contact the NSA to have them corroborate the main details (because that's what journalists do), which according to the article they did under the condition that key details were omitted which the intercept agreed to. NSA then was able to IMMEDIATELY figure out who leaked this shit, because it was a goddamn newbie, and turned them over to the FBI, because their reaction can best be described as "Hey what the fuck are you doing? We are still fucking investigating that shit."
Any questions?

Wouldn't surprise me they leaked it thinking others might have the info, but tried to get her arrested on purpose.
