BigRedBuster Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 As a life long Republican (up until a few years ago)....I can't believe I'm saying this. But, if the Republicans do not take action on this stuff....the Dems need to get control of the Senate in 2018. In a perfect world, the heat would get so hot that the Republicans would need to do something before then so they can't all just blame those evil Dems. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 After the botched round 1 of the ACA repeal and replace and the unfavorable rollout of round 2 - I'm wondering about how well these repubs will actually govern. It should be easy wt both house, senate and WH. But they are stumbling all over themselves. Me think that if push come to shove, they'd prefer one of them, Pence, as President. So it evidence shows they need to do something drastic, hopefully they will grow a couple and get the job done. Link to comment

I'm in your same boat brother - but still a registered repub. This isn't an attack, but at what point do you say, "I can no longer identify myself with and attach myself to this party"? Take the conservative ideology or philosophies that you agree with out of the picture - what about the Republican party is redeemable right now? 3 Link to comment

Unless you're wealthy and looking for a tax cut, what reason is there to be associated with them? Link to comment

NM11046 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Regarding his refusal to provide requested documents (he had DC lawyers draft a certified letter instead) Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Certified letter isn't going to get him anywhere. No one besides sycophantic GOP members has any incentive to believe Trump or his lawyers. I'd expect subpoenas in short order if he continues to stonewall. So, this happened today. Raid of a GOP strategy firm out of Annapolis with a senior advisor who's supposedly an associate of Manafort. Rumors of a RICO operation attempting to get to the bottom of the Trump's financials and possibly tie him to money laundering during the campaign via digital advertisement firms (i.e., Russian money). That means they want to be able to tie Trump or higher ups in his campaign to money laundering by flipping a lower ranking target (i.e., Flynn or his associates). Not wanting to put the cart ahead of the horse, but the FBI was reportedly very busy today. 1 Link to comment
NM11046 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 This seriously got me to enthusiastically "Yes" loudly in my hotel room. Good to see movement. I think the FBI is extra motivated and it will work in the public's favor. 1 Link to comment

commando Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This is one of the most significant statements I have heard in a very very long time. the real news channels need to air that over and over again. of course faux news won't dare show it. 2 Link to comment
mrandyk Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This is one of the most significant statements I have heard in a very very long time. https://twitter.com/ava/status/862680443937619968 This isn't a recent statement, right? I swear I saw this exact clip on here months ago. Doesn't make it any less impactful. Putin used the voting population's desire for BS click bait confirming their own beliefs against us, and the masses didn't notice or don't care. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 So, the idiot claims that Comey told him he wasn't under investigation three times. Once over the phone and then twice over dinner. Now.....does he really think that (if this was actually true) any of those moments would have been recorded?This is him doing nothing but trying to solidify in his follower's minds that he knows what he is talking about.....even when he knows he is lying through is teeth.
