Trump Revealed Classified Information to Russian Foreign Minister - WashPo

[NYC17]

@alexw I'm not sure honestly.

That said, we're only 3-4 hours away from when the next daily 5pm bombshell tends to leak out. I wonder what they have today that could possibly top all the other bombshells we've had this week.

Well Trump is holding a press conference at 3:45pm est, so it may be a little earlier today.

Trump steps down as president... i'm calling it

Doubtful. Narcissists aren't capable of accountability.

I doubt it. He's not going to go quietly. He's going to go out kicking and screaming.

Given the rumors that the shakeup of his senior staff (specifically Spicer) are coming after he returns from his trip abroad, I'd place a bet against you on that : P

More likely that he'll brag about his election win.

He has a new, framed electoral college map that he wants to show off.

"Because I did so good, the best, in my first 100 days (everyone is talking about it) I see no reason to continue for however many days are left"

"It's all lies! Those liberals are sore losers and will stop at nothing to ruin me!"

[Skroe]

Are there any left (apart from skroe)? When you have most of them imbibing batshit crazy nonsense like this -



day after day can there truly be that many sane ones left?

Massachusetts Republicans are the way forward. Historically, pre-Southern Strastegy, Massachusetts was the intellectual heartland of Republican principles. We can be again. Every Governor of Massachusetts back to William Weld in 1991 has been Republican except for one, Deval Patrick from 2007-2015. We're also the state that elected Scott Brown when Ted Kennedy died... but Scott Brown acted like a party-line Republican, and was punished for it here upon his failed re-election. He's basically in exile now.

Our current Governor, Charlie Baker, had this to say about Trump:



Another figure to watch: Senator Ben Sasse. A alliance of Republicans in the mold of Sasse+Baker may very well be the future of the Republican Party.






Another one is Rep Justin Amash

If Trump is speaking in an hour, hopefully he denies something that WaPo or NYT can immediately prove tonight.

[Thelxi]

Would people prefer Pence over Trump though?

[Thepersona]

I doubt it. He's not going to go quietly. He's going to go out kicking and screaming.

C'mon, let me dream sometimes.
But yeah, most probably, he'll brag about his election win and go again with his victim complex

I'm in suspense...I don't to wait an hour to see what idiotic thing he says next.

[KyleEverett]

The problem for Pence is that he's implicated just as much in this cover-up. He was the head of the transition team when Flynn informed it that he was under FBI investigation. Pence later lied about not being aware that Flynn was compromised to cover his own rear.

If Paul Ryan knew about Russian money being used to benefit Republican campaigns that invalidates him as well. Its the reason why the twitter rumors are that we'll have President Orrin Hatch when all is said and done.

The way things are going, he'll unintentionally confirm additional reports while also contradicting official White House statements.

Chiming in with the others about free time, I do pet care (self employed). When I'm not actively doing something with animals or talking with clients / finding new clients, I have free time to kill. My days have been far more entertaining lately with Trump committing political suicide last week.

I mean, I assumed everything he said and did during the election was political suicide but here we are. At least I have popcorn.

I can only imagine what it was like when the decision was made for him to hold a press conference. I'm assuming equal parts, 'FUCK NO, he cannot do that!!" and "fuck it, better him than me".

I like to call my self a Goldwater conservative and think I'm sane... I am sane... say... I... am... sane... do... it... or... I... will... !!!!

I hope it's a repeat of his Presser a few months back where he made a royal ass of himself.

How do you get from here to there though? The right-wing media sphere has created its own reality that is so utterly disconnected from anything that is truly real. You can see it reflected in many of the posters on these boards. How do you fight through all that trash and gutter-slime that now coats their brains to bring them back to reality?
