I'm tired of this foreplay. We've been on this blue ball carnival ride for too long already. And it's only been 4 of 48 months.

I still won't believe there will be any actual consequences until they actually appear. .

Wouldn't the obvious defence for Kushner be that this is obvious misinformation being spread by the Russians?

i.e. Aware that their communications were being intercepted.

Looks like kushner is in some deep trouble, potentially.
Rubbing hands and smirking.

Well, the deep state is a real thing and this is what happens when you liken the FBI (I think he said) to nazis, stand in front of the CIA monument to fallen agents and ramble on, cluelessly, about yourself for an hour or so, and declare that you are smarter than all the generals. Career professionals don't take this #### from a rank amateur who's clearly in over his head. What's happening is the 2017 political version of Chinese water torture.

I look at this as the most tantric political episode we're likely to witness in our lifetimes. The only period that compares in my memory is the period between 9/11 and the beginning of the Iraq war, but this current stuff is so unbelievable it would be hard pressed to succeed as a fictional drama.

Hopefully it isn't just a tease followed by 3 more years of Trump's antics.

I was confused how tantric fit into the current political discourse...and then realized it's because we're all getting screwed due to some bizarre mental activities on the part of this administration and congress. Good use of tantric.

Lol. That's the look of a guy who knows his brief vacation is over, and now he has to fly back to the political hornet's nest in D.C. and face the music. I'm still convinced he's gonna have a heart attack from the stress long before he ever gets impeached. The Russia stuff isn't going away any time soon. No doubt we'll likely see some early morning angry tweets from King Joffrey tomorrow in response to the Kushner story.

Sometimes when I see a particularly belligerent comment I look at the FB profile of that person, their likes, and its incredible how they all look pretty much identical.

These political bubbles are so bad for us, and the damage that Fox News has done cannot be understated since Obama took office, its when they went full tard.

If you're not familiar with Cambridge Analytics and how they came about, as well as how they were involved in the election, you might find it very interesting reading.

Fox News has been full ###### since they started.

It was Fox News that pushed so hard on the Lewinsky garbage. It was Fox News that canonized and built up the mythology around Ronald Reagan. It was Fox News that gave us "President" George W. Bush. It was Fox News that gave us yellow cake and beat the drums of war the loudest to get us into Iraq. It was Fox News that gave us the rebirth and rebranding of the John Birch Society in the Tea Party. It was Fox News that gave platforms to lunatics like Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. It was Fox News that gave us The War on Christmas for Christs sake.

Fox News just keeps pushing things a little further into the deep end of insanity.

This rally was announced on the 24th, so ticket requests for it must have been brutally low for him to already cancel it. Maybe his supporters are finally realizing he's a fraudster?

^^^^ There are also concerns that the stress of office has accelerated Trump's dementia. His behavior in the press conference with Bibi, where he just wandered off in a confused state, has raised the alarm. Not sure I buy it, but it does make sense, especially when Trump skipped a meeting later that day and sent "the kids" in his place.

It's all part of his plan. Appear mentally disabled so he has an easy out from this job he didn't expect to get and doesn't really like.

lol he did ask Kasich if he would be Vice President and that he would basically do all the work while he acts as a leader going around to rallies and as a figurehead of the US.

Comments like this really shouldn't still make me laugh, but they do.
