    I am not. They have shown such arrogance and contempt for the law at every turn.

    They have Flynn dead to rights on much more serious charges. He would never be allowed to plea to this unless he had provided substantial information.

    ABC reports that Flynn will testify that Trump directed him to contact the Russians.

    Lol, the rent-a-mouth Trumptard commenters at Politico are deflecting so hard you could strap 'em to the front of the Enterprise as a backup dish.

    And Trump knows this which explains why he has been even more off the rails than normal since this news broke. It seems whenever he is stressed he slips even further into delusional thinking. There are a good half dozen articles and even more news reports detailing this. Basically, he is not mentally well and knowing the gig is up and his collusion and treason will now be exposed has pushed him over the edge.

    On the other hand, looks like the tax bill will pass so the GOP clowns are still busy looting the store while Batman is beating the Joker senseless.

    Haha, Trump has gone into hiding and has cancelled a scheduled personal press briefing because he doesn't want to answer questions about Flynn's guilty plea or his testimony that Trump himself ordered him to collude with Russia and to trade sanctions being lifted in exchange for Russia interfering in American elections.

    Politico does let some partisans write editorials but by and large they tend to be fact based and not partisan. I find them to be pretty good over all and thry often get scoops first wrt political stories.

    Another interesting bit is that Mueller interviewed Jared just a week or two ago. So... If Flynn had already been cooperating then Mueller would know just which questions to ask him in order to catch him in a lie. I'd say Jared could be in deep doodoo.

    I wonder when is the internet going to juxtapose a picture of Flynn chanting "Lock Her Up!" at the RNC with his mug shot?

    I am pretty sure, as others have said, that in a year or two Republicans will once again pretend to care about the deficit and say that in order to tackle the deficit we need to gut social security and medicare.

    It's like somebody in the GOP watched the "Sideshow Bob Roberts" episode of The Simpsons, and said "yeah, yeah this seems like a good idea. Let's do this."

    Replace 'in a year or two' with 'last Wednesday'.

    "I analyze this very differently than most," Rubio told the crowd. "Many argue that you can't cut taxes because it will drive up the deficit. But we have to do two things. We have to generate economic growth which generates revenue, while reducing spending. That will mean instituting structural changes to Social Security and Medicare for the future," the senator said.

    Trump remarkably silent on Twitter, seems focused on FAKE NEWSDFSDD about Sexy Rexy.

    Trump cancelled a scheduled press vriefing to be done by himself today on account of him being a cowardly shit who is now in hiding.

    We can expect that soon their will be more infammitory tweets on totally different topics in order to try to change the subject but the subject won't be changed so easily this time.

    Castle duals are obvious, which is why it’s equally obvious @ohdeve is not one. :clyde:
