I'd laugh so hard if Flynn testifies and it turns out he was paid by some top level democrats to spy on Trump and sabotage his campaign from the inside out while creating evidence to make it look like Russia did it.
This is the political system of what is supposed to be the "leader of the free world".
Hilarious.
How about engaging in the best form of age old political score settling: directing where the money goes.
Want to know what the sequel campaign to getting Trump out of office is? Going after pubic services the deplorables depend on. I am from a rich state. Our contribution to the federal pool is far greater than many Trump-states. I pay more in taxes than many Trump supporters. I want this to change. I want the flow of money from rich to poor states to be curtailed. I want their flow of money to the federal pool to go up and mine to go down.
I want to squeeze the deplorables. That is Act II.
By the way, this is the humiliation. Trump-Russia was going to come even if Trump wasn't elected. It's just worse now, because he's President.
Trump's capsized administration, dead agenda, and the increasing pace of scandal is also all on the people who put him there.

No. Germany is holding that title for us while we get our crazy out this year.
The US is taking a bit of a siesta.
Nobody had to vote for Hillary.
A vote for Trump was an endorsement. That's the problem. You vote for Trump, you endorse a racist, fascist, misogynist, demagogue who insults our allies, befriends our enemies and defiles American principles.
He is the rejection of American values.
What I just wrote there is American as apple pie.
But more to the point, I'm not just interested in stopping Trump. I'm interested in burning the field of weeds he came from. There must not be a Trump 2.0 down the line, with a slicker package.
The normalization of lies, of racism and of paranoia that came with Trump must be entirely delegitimized. I'll say it again: I want the people who put narrow political agenda in front of country to be so demoralized by Trump-Russia, they stop voting.
The anti-Trump group I do some work for is making a big push into deplorable-land in the next few weeks, and part of our messaging approach basically is that. You know what you said up there? How you hate hearing about this and want to move on to the next thing? That is exactly what I want.
I want you and people like you to hate this more than anything in your godforsaken lives. I want the word "Trump" to cause your blood pressure to spke and the word "politics" to be an invitation to run in the other direction.
By the way, there is nothing new with this. This is positive ancient. But it also works.
Well... in that farcical excuse of a political system you've got, it's one or the other.
Trump might have represented almost of that, but clinton represented the US of banks bailouts, failed cities, silly wars with thousand of young Americans dead, repossessions, lack of justice, relocation of jobs...
This is what clinton represented.
The fact that you get so angry at Trump VOTERS, random Jim from wherever that lost his job, lost his son, lost everything, instead of criticising this ridiculous third world like political system is hilarious.
Jim is an American too don't you know?
Yes. They're Americans aren't they? I thought you wanted to root the antipolitical sentiment out? Leaving half of your country in the shitter because they voted for someone you don't like is not going to root the sentiment out.
Unless you're going for a full on witch-hunt. Sending people to jail and all. Now that will be fun.
Mccarthy 2 revamped! Yes please do that it's fun!
You mean the bailouts that stabilzed the global economy and has resulted in the US being one of the only engines of global growth the past half decade? Yeah.
You must not have been to the US ever. This is a joke.
You mean the wars that Americans supported by 87% (Afghanistan) and 73% (Iraq) approval ratings? You mean the wars that the American people voted to re-elect their chief arctiect of in 2004? You know where I got that retcon thing with the Trumpkins from? The Iraq War. Everybody was for it. Really. Everybody. Until it turned out not to be a 100 hour Gulf War II. Until it dragged on for a decade, created ISIS and destabilized the Middle East. Then everybody forgot how they cheered when Saddam's statue was ripped down, or posted on their My Space "Sic Semper Tyrannis" when he was hung.
Americans weren't duped into the wars. That was bullshit. Americans wanted to punch somebody after 9/11 and chose Saddam. And they were all for it, for two years, till it got truly expensive.
Maybe next time Americans will be more judicious in their use of military solutions. Oh wait... a big part of Trump's platform was to commit what amounts to war crimes in fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq. You'll have to explain how Trump, who doubled down on "fighting ISIS", can represent a change from "silly wars".
You know why you cant? It's bullshit. There is no logical reconciliation. In 2001 it was Terrorism around the world. In 2003 it was a dictator. In 2011 it was a dictator. In 2016 it is a terrorist group. Americans dress up their historic inclination to send our young Americans around the world to "fight evil" in different suits. But it's always the same terrible story.
The country will never learn. Because it won't take ownership. The Iraq War? That's something that "happened" to it. It's something the Neocons tricked the American people to, or so Americans thing. In truth, Americans were all for it, and then put Bush back in the White House. And then in 2005/2006, they washed their hands of it all.
Don't live beyond your means.
Don't know what you mean by that.
It's nobody's fault but theirs they live in economically obsolete areas.
- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
No. Let's be clear about something. There is an AGREEMENT that the tax and spend structure, which amounts to income redistribution, is what it is. I'm saying I want that agreement changed. After all, the way we do things now wasn't always the way we do things. There is nothing to say that it has to be that way going forward.
I think Arkansas, with it's junk-status debt, should be more on it's own.
Yes we're all Americans. And I'm fine with a good social safety net. But I don't want my money saving economically obsolete parts of Rust Belt states. Those people need to move.
