Flynnghazi: Justice Dept. warned WH that advisor vunlnerable to blackmail.

[Breccia]

1) No, he said that the DOJ knew about it 13 days before they told Trump.

See, this is why I need the transcript. That's not what I remember. It'll come out eventually.

2) There's no reason to come out and make statements against what you've been told before until you're sure of the fact. It's important when something appears to be going wrong, you better make sure your next statement is correct. They had the belief that nothing illegal happened, however, there was still the fact that the DoJ was looking into it, so there's no reason to cite your own findings.

Um...they did cite their own findings. It happened 10 minutes ago.

[Casterbridge]

Did he? I thought he said Trump asked him to resign.

Which again, seems pointless if we take Spicer at his word that apparently Flynn did nothing wrong...because what the fuck is logic.

Yeah you're right Trump did ask Flynn for his resignation, which isn't technically the same as out right firing him.

[alexw]

He made a phone call, that reportedly didn't discuss anything improper. He told the VP he couldn't remember discussing sanctions. That's the whole controversy! WOW!

No. That's a lie. He did not tell Pence that. He told Pence that no discussion whatsoever occurred over sanctions. As for not doing anything improper that's a false statement too. Neither you nor I get to judge that. Only a court of law has the ability to make that decision, on whether he broke the law (Logan Act), and as yet I've seen no trial of Flynn.

[Breccia]

The dude who asked about Dodd-Frank. He was from Los angeles iirc.

It was a good question, but I think it was Vegas. In any event, the answer was...less good. Loss of $900 billion dollars? Banks have been making record profits and the stock market has hit a new high. I see literally no evidence of this claim. Anyone know where I'd find it?

Alternative reality. Same place alternative facts come from!

[NYC17]

Are you objective?

I definitely try to be. At the very least,if I fail at it, I don't offer rather weak defenses for the indefensible.

This administration is amateur hour. It's pathetic and ultimately dangerous. There's no way around that.

Alternative reality Trumpland same place you will find evidence that deregulating Wall Street will not result in another crash.

(2/10/17)Trump says he's unaware of reports Flynn discussed sanctions with Russian ambassador
http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/10/politi...tions-reports/

So who is lying, Spicer, Trump, both?

I believe Spicer tried to parse that as Trump saying he didn't know of the specific report someone cited.

[Casterbridge]

Liberals finally have something legitimate to complain about, and 0 fucks are giving because all they do is complain about Trump.

Well to be fair liberals, and the rest of us non kool aid drinking moderates and conservatives, have had plenty of reason to complain about Trump. The issue of course the Trump cheer-leading squad is still standing there staring at the visage of Trump like he is the second coming and can do no wrong.

[Glorious Leader]

Alternative reality Trumpland same place you will find evidence that deregulating Wall Street will not result in another crash.

They have literally ZERO plans or interest in breaking up the big banks and ending too big to fail.

[Narwal]

Oh....wow. I thought the victim complex was not going to get worse.

I'm not a victim. I'm not registered to either side, I don't even partake in politics in any way. Never voted in my life. I have a good job, good healthcare, I literally have nothing to lose or gain with who becomes President, except maybe us getting into a war that threatens our sovereignty. I am a person from the outside looking in. It's time you step out of your liberal bubble and understand a few of the truths of the liberal propoganda machine this media has become. Sure, the right has their own propaganda machines, too. They don't hide it, the left tries to mascerade it.

This is correct. The usual, "Shit, we need to find any technicality to lie behind" response we've come to expect from Spicer on a daily basis.

I'd love to be in the room when they decide on how to make excuses for this shit, that decision making process has to be fascinating.

[Draco-Onis]

Goldman Sachs cronies just want to create another crash, literally the first financial regulation they stopped is the one that said you can't screw your clients.

The administration is getting caught in another lie... another scandal. It's been three weeks, and they have already shown they are utterly incompetent.

Finally? Have you been passed out since Trump has been in office?

Yes please tell me all the crazy things Trump has done since he has been in office:
Continued the ICE raids put into place and enforced by the Obama Administration? Signed an order on a travel ban exactly like he said he would during the campaign? Appointed people not liberal enough for Cabinet positions and Supreme court? Not Catered enough to the media set out to destroy him?

None of this is really radical stuff, just crazy people on the left outraged by everything.

[Breccia]

I believe Spicer tried to parse that as Trump saying he didn't know of the specific report someone cited.

Even if that was true -- and yes, that was my read on Spicer's response as well -- it does make Trump, once again, look horrifyingly ill-informed, or like a blatant liar.

[Bullettime]

Another interesting note.

So basically, after all the shit about Hillary's emails, they're now using a third party app to communicate to "avoid leaks" and auto delete after so much shit has been leaked leading up to this point.

(Yes, this violates the law.)

Really cause I'd love to get a real marxist to go ahead and ask spicer and the president some serious questions over skype. Can you tell me the last time that happened?
