Flynn's going to plead the 5th to avoid the subpoena: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/ap-source-michael-flynn-decline-senate-intel-committee-47559523

How much do you guys wanna bet that Trump has either implied or explicitly said that he'll pardon Flynn if he goes down?


Wow there is a Trump tweet for everything.

I always thought he had a weird vibe honestly. Some of his hand gestures and looks on his face came across as he was hiding something.

Meteor Man is a great film though, and hes in it (although he has no lines)

i will never stop being amazed that of the entire trump family, it's Melania who is the best and it's not even close. supported her husband's presidential endeavors as long as she could but the second her son got the spotlight, just fucked off to take care of him out of it. her everything on this trip is ballsy as fuck too. turns out she's a great first lady after all!

For what it's worth, Cosby's accusations against him existed long before Hannibal Burress ever made a joke about them. I'm not speaking to whether or not Metal_DK heard these accusations and believed them before America as a whole did, but there were definitely some people aware and believing the accusations a long time ago.

I might of subconsciously heard them and brought it up at a different time, but i definitely mentioned Cosby being a bit off with his mannerisms way before the past few years.

There's is no debating he's an atrocious human being. But there is also no debating that he was a uniquely talented comedian.

Hands tend to jerk when you reach out for something you're not looking at and it's not exactly where your brain expects it to be.

That's not a fumble. If she was reaching for his hand and missed, it wouldn't have had that sudden jerk in movement, and it would have lingered for a second. If you reach for something and miss, you don't just instantly move your hand back to your side.

That was a swat.

...So she was trying to jerk his hand toward her? That's the only motion that fits your theory even remotely.

She was apparently trying to give Trump a taste of his own handshake?

Well, prepare for people to disagree on "exactly what it looked like."

Because when I first saw it, it looked like she was reaching out to hold his hand and he pulled away at the last second :/ it wasn't until I looked further down the twitter thread that I realized what other people were seeing.

I don't see where the confusion is at -- looks like she didn't want to hold his hand. There have been a few similar examples of them like this too.

It doesn't decide whether Donald is a good President or not, but it brings an interesting and cynical perspective to his approval ratings.

I disagree

I think the Internet has allowed these people to regroup and start to organize and grow again.

Sure they aren't "in power," but they're getting closer to getting back there.


This is the major issue. It's people who are saying they should be allowed to speak their mind and not be punished for it who are empowering them to make these plays. It's not much different from the people who let Trump take over because "I mean it just can't happen in this day and age, right?"

Which is why it's so surprising that Chris of all people, loather of that very modern Democratic party mindset, is falling into the same trap.


It isn't so much a 'can't' as 'clearly is not.'

It's looking evident by the time the summer hits full swing that the Republican party is going to pounce upon Trump's corpse.


Yeah. About that. Who needs summer.

These are EXTREMELY red districts. If Republicans lose EITHER of these, much less both, they are going to completely freak the fuck out.

That Montana election is Thursday, for reference. Georgia is June 20th (coincidentally the day before summer starts)

Earlier today, it was reported that Bannon, like Priebus, left the international trip early and flew back to DC.

And I think I've discovered why.

Trump visited the Western Wall.

And to get anywhere near the Western Wall, you are REQUIRED to wear a Yarmulke.

So Bannon would've had to wear a Yarmulke.

So logically, he would have exploded. Literally.

I live by the 6th so I see the ads a lot, and I only saw that one run once. It was pretty dumb to try going with that, though.

Most of the ads against were actually just "He's not conservative enough for us!" The weird part is that they were all run by the lesser Republican oppenents. I still don't think I've heard a single ad from Handel at all, positive or negative.
