Denouement of U.S. Empire

That's not anywhere in the realm of what I'm saying and you know that. I think what your post is showing is an example of cognitive dissonance. This convo was pretty chill and I asked an honest question. You're reply was pretty aggressive. As if you lashed out because of an uncomfortable thought.

You should report his aggressive behavior to the police....

Jesus.. can you get anymore limp wristed?

I’d almost bet on Backlash if these 2 ever got into a fist fight.

What I had to say was on that article. This abuses are piling up and no one on the right except for a few are stepping up to check his shit.

Former acting attorney general Sally Yates hit the nail on the head on Monday on “Morning Joe.” She explained, “I think what we’re seeing here is the president has taken his all-out assault of the rule of law to a new level and this time he is ordering up an investigation of the investigators who are examining his own campaign. You know, that’s really shocking.” And things got even worse as the day progressed.

This from a WaPo article. We're taking for granted that we'll survive this intact. If we do there are going to have to be new laws about these scandals.

Also have been seeing articles about his unsecure cell phone. WTF is that? Hillary email scandal was the end of the world, Obama had to give up his blackberry but trumps on an unsecured phone?

Again, everyone is pushing this rhetoric that he is investigating people who are investigating him. He isn't. He isn't investigating Mueller. He is pushing for an investigation of the people that were previously, and are no longer, investigating the Trump Campaign.

That's all the same thing. People may have come and gone, the form of it could have changed but the work they did is part and parcel of this whole thing. If trump has a strategy he's working a poisonous fruit type defense.

No it isn't. There isn't any point to this with you. Trump could cure cancer and you'd probably find some sort of issue with it, because it was Trump, meanwhile, you'll continue to quote opinion articles as fact.

The initial investigation is the building block of the Mueller probe. It started the whole thing for christs sakes. You think Mueller threw out all their work?


Dems aren't even attending this meeting. Fucking nunes is. He'll leak/spin the shit out of this.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two Republican lawmakers, and no Democrats, are expected to attend a meeting scheduled for Thursday to review classified information relating to U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion the FBI might have used an informant to gather information on his 2016 election campaign, the White House said on Tuesday.

“60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl says President Trump once told her that he attacks the press so no one will believe the negative stories written about him.
Stahl said at the Deadline Club awards dinner on Tuesday that she met with the then-president-elect at Trump Tower ahead of his first post-election interview on “60 Minutes.”
“And at one point he started to attack the press, and it’s just me and my boss and him … he’s attacking the press and there were no cameras, there was nothing going on,” Stahl said.

“And I said, 'You know that is getting tired, why are you doing this? You are doing it over and over, it’s boring, it’s time to end that. You won the nomination, why do you keep hammering at this?' ”
“And he said, ‘You know why I do it? I do it to demean you all and discredit you all, so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you,’ ” Stahl said.

The really fucked up part of this is that it works.
