ZRod Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/868269006997921793 Things not looking great for the Kush. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/868247843752095744 I can't read the article, but a back channel might not be a bad thing. It's never bad to keep the communication channels open. Couple things .... Rumbles from a friend, of a friend of a friend who has a nephew who works w/a GOP senator who says in the halls there the rumors are that Pence's people are the leakers. It's a calculated plan to get him into POTUS role. Also - anybody else think there's a chance that Bannon is the leaker on this Kush news? With their back and forth seems to make sense to me that he'd want this cocky kid taken out. He's impacted Bannon's ability to influence. Friend of a friend, of a friend, of a friend says he's got beach front property in Vegas... Link to comment

NM11046 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just sharing the thought on Pence - didn't seem that far fetched. And I disagree with a 30 something, real estate dabbler, son-in-law of a POTUS elect establishing a "back channel" of communication with the Kremlin in advance of his unqualified and questionably aligned father-in-law taking office. And this was done while in the company of Michael Flynn who was as we know not acting in the best interest of this country. 2 Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'm not sure what to make of the Kushner story. It just seems the guy is in way over his head. Unsurprising. Dysfunction describes the entire WH. America is too strong militarily to be brought to her knees. Fortunately for our adversaries, they can count on the dunce rate in our citizenry and abet the political movements that vault people to power who are destructive, incompetent, or both. I don't think they're picky about which. 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'll never be able to fathom why people who are already filthy rich go to such lengths (illegal and/or immoral and/or treasonous) to get a little more. Are they aware they can't bring it with them when they die? 1 Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ok. I think it's arguable that back channels aren't always bad. I think that's a defensible position. But then why lie about it? Why leave that off your security clearance forms? Also, is it any wonder that Kushner happened to forget about his meetings with this Kislyak guy, the same guy Sessions happened to leave off his forms and forget to mention during his appointment hearing, the same guy Flynn happened to lie about contacting?Are we assuming these are all a bunch of one-off occurrences that all miraculously produced one big coincidence? Or is there fire where there is smoke?I could see Pence trying to undermine Trump. He's a craven opportunist. if he's been willing to sell his soul and prop up Trump to get here, why wouldn't he do everything he could to ascend to POTUS? Especially if he has plausible deniability and can have his underlings do it. Link to comment

NM11046 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 France elected a leader. We elected a stooge. Right? Never thought there would be a day where I admire a French leader more than my own. Also yesterday, right after Puty left they welcomed gay chechin's into France for refuge. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'll post it in the other thread. Link to comment
