And yet nothing will fucking change......

This will be waved away.

Correct.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Putin has dirt on Trump.

Trump licks Putin's balls every moment he gets.

There's a connection there somewhere.

 

[LiK]

Obama needs to change his farewell address to shit on Trump

 

[Patryn]

Even if he were part of this? I can't imagine it's just Trump sitting in a dark room by himself speaking with Russia. There had to be some other people on the team involved.

Hypothetically, what would happen in this case prior to inauguration? Obviously, this isn't something even remotely likely but I'm still curious as to what would happen. After inauguration everything is over and they just go down the line of succession.

If Trump and Pence go down, Paul Ryan becomes president.

If Paul Ryan goes down, Orrin Hatch becomes president.

And so on and so forth. Presidential succession is well known.

 

[theclosetfan]

This is insane.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[Nodnol]

I find this whole situation incredible. Everything about Trump from day one has been spectacular to watch.

Surely if you're in a high position inside one of the alphabet agencies, it's better to play the long game and try to manipulate Trump for your own gains? Dangerous game, particularly when you don't know Russia's intentions.

I just have no faith that the right thing will be done for the right reasons.

 

[whyamihere]

I mean, no shit.

 

[Netherscourge]

Comey should be fired, if he hasn't already tendered his resignation.

How the fuck do you sit on all this shit?

Was HE ALSO compromised by Russia?

 

[Ac30]

Well, not entirely, but Obama is too much of a Patriot to go full-on fascist, rally the army, and call for marshal law. And the consequences of such a move could potentially be just as damaging in the long run.

Yeah, It would be insane for him to do that; Obama has 10 days left, which are probably best spent helping the FBI/CIA gather as much dirt as they can on Trump before Inauguration Day. Don't let Trump destroy your democracy.

Breaking News: Obama invites P-E Trump, the future First Lady to visit the White House ahead of the inauguration.

lol

 

[Nafai1123]

For this to actually take him down, wouldn't they need to prove that he actually was making decisions per Russian wishes because of what they had on him?

I believe they would just need to prove communication between the Trump campaign and Russian government to accuse him of collusion. There's already sufficient evidence that Russia conspired to influence our election, so if he or someone in his campaign was speaking with those in power making those decisions it could be considered treason.

 

[Zophar]

If Trump and Pence go down, Paul Ryan becomes president.

If Paul Ryan goes down, Orrin Hatch becomes president.

And so on and so forth. Presidential succession is well known.

Imagine Paul Ryan's career being entirely defined by failing upward, all the way to the Presidency.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Putin won.

Dudes playing three dimensional chess right now, we're still on checkers

 

[The Silver]

Since Trump is an idiot he'll eventually piss off Dear Leader Putin and he'll release the kraken on Trump

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

This is some Wire level fuckery. Comey sitting on some possibly substantial Intel regarding Trump and Russia and sits on it for what purpose? Especially when considered with his decision to openly talk about the emails.

That's a pretty interesting question. I know Republicans hate the shit out of Hillary, but to prefer a Manchurian Candidate leading the country over her is beyond the pale. I think Comey needs to be looked into also.

Trump and Trump surrogates are implicated.
The whole campaign comes in to question.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

I'm not sure if I'm more embarrassed for the country or depressed.

[Wilsongt]

Congress will milk Trump for all he is worth to get whatever shit law passed they want. Then, when they are through, they'll impeach him,.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

What is happening

 

[Splash Wave]

I feel like that headline could use *much* better phrasing.

 

[_Ryo_]

And yet Trump will still have 8 years.

 

[Ac30]

Breaking News: Obama invites P-E Trump, the future First Lady to visit the White House ahead of the inauguration.

lol

Is that not a thing that happens regardless? I'd expect Obama to meet with Trump before he leaves the White House.

 

[Doop]

FWIW, Hilllary did.

No puppet, no puppet! You're the puppet!

What a time we live in.

 

[DrFunk]

And yet, the sun will rise in Trumpland tomorrow

this sounds familiar

 

[ErasureAcer]

FWIW, Hilllary did.

She kinda did in one debate. And I never heard from it again. She doesn't believe he's a puppet or she wouldn't be intending his inauguration. Can't send mixed messages with this shit. She's doing it.

I'll give you she has been more forceful on Russia than Bernie has...which he hasn't done shit.

 

[RDreamer]

I'm just imagining Trump getting into the classified meetings and just bluntly saying "What do I do, please help me get out of this..."

Probably not, but it's fun to think about, I suppose.

By fun I mean terrifying.

 

[Guevara]

That's what I'm saying: it's just business as usual.

Paul Ryan is not a Trump surrogate, unfortunately. The furthest you'd go is Pence.

Ryan is terrible, but he's clean.

Also, this is never, ever going to happen. The worst that happens, and even that is HIGHLY unlikely, is Trump goes down.

But that's not going to happen.

 

[Like the hat?]

That feeling when you wanted a Reagan but got a Nixon

Really though I would be absolutely shocked if he wasn't impeached very soon. I've assumed the Republicans only went with him because he was theur best chance. They'd kill for a president Pence

 

[Slayven]

None of this matters until the GOP has no more use for him.

 

[LegendofJoe]

It's obvious they were. You don't say, we're going to make our NATO friends pay their fair share or make them back out of the treaty when Russia is knocking on their door. Trump has been a puppet all along. It's ridiculous no one, politics or press, has called him out on being a puppet It's obvious.

Hillary Clinton did on live national television, but as a country we're too dumb to understand the threat.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

What day are you referring to in that post?

A couple of days ago, when Trump made that official statement about the allegiations. He didn't use twitter and he didn't blame the secret service for doing a bad job or just making the wrong conclusions, like he used to.

 

[Alucrid]

Paul Ryan is not a Trump surrogate, unfortunately. The furthest you'd go is Pence.

Ryan is terrible, but he's clean.

Well at least it won't be Pence then.

 

[Kathian]

The Russian plan is just to distract the US. Cause chaos in the US to allow Russia a bit more free reign and disrupt American relations with Europe.

They'll hurt Trump when it suits them.

 

[SolarPowered]

Contact during the campaign?

Yep, it reads like the intel chiefs tried to compromise Trump.

This guy has been posting public info going back decades about Trump and ties to Russia etc.

He just posted this:

You can look at his timeline. Lots of info about Trump ties to organized crime.

I realize this guy is a longshot on having everything accurate

But I just read that chain and holy shit.

How the fuck do you sit on all this shit?

Yup, dude was basically complicit. LOL, I mean John McCain gave him the same freaking documents, but nope, her emails.

 

[BronsonLee]

May not want the heat

 

[Heshinsi]

Your FBI director at work

That didn't stop him when it came to attempting to create something with those Anthony weiner emails.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Kick his ass out of the White House.

 

[Patryn]

Well at least it won't be Pence then.

Pence isn't going down.

Even if Trump goes down (which is NOT going to happen), there is zero chance Pence will also fall. Zero.

 

[kingocfs]

What the fuck.
