Here he sounds as nonsensical as DT. Mission accomplished.
It’s just amazing the attention a crazy man (i.e. Trump) can generate. Eight of the top nine stories on TPM are about Trump this morning. That balance seems so wrong - and yet exposure will hopefully generate second thoughts among undecided voters. (I know this particular article is about Pence’s feeble attempts to add credibility to the GOP ticket.)
Of course he is trying to play “good cop.” If Drumpf is forced to step down, Pence has first shot of being the Republican candidate.
- Let’s see what the FBI investigation reveals before we start jumping to conclusions.
- As Mr. Marshall has documented, the preliminary investigation revealed metadata indicating the servers were located in Russia.
- Trump and Pence are both full of manure.
Well, he is going to be fully in charge of foreign and domestic policy, so I guess we should be comforted by this.
If I was pence I would get out while I still had a chance this isn’t going to end well
even in print all I can hear is blah blah FBI blah blah respect blah blah blah…
He’s already handed his testicles over to Drumpf and the GOP. To hell with all of them, I say.
Oh man,…loser!
That said, the Democrats singularly focusing on who might be behind it and not addressing the basic fact that they’ve been exposed as a party who not only rigs the government, but rigs elections while literally accepting cash for federal appointments is outrageous.
What the hell is this supposed to mean?
Its because TPM tends to do a running commentary type reporting on things like news conferences, debates, etc…and spawns a series of “mini articles”, instead of just one big one summarizing the entire affair.
In other words, its a formatting issue, not a weighting the news issue.
Yes, Pence is just as stupid as I remember him to be when he was in the House.
We wouldn’t be here, at this place RIGHT NOW, if the FBI and State couldn’t make at least an approximation that this hack has Russia’s fingerprints all over it. So, Mike, you’re late to the party…
I know - it was just a momentary impression I had of what is going on in today’s political news.
This does sound like he is at least attempting to create some distance from Trump, considering he went in a 180 degree direction from Trump’s calls for Russia to engage in more cyber intelligence ops against our country.
And lets be real clear on something. Trump has repeatedly, and again today, made claims that Hillary has some top secret national security items in her emails. Which he now wants Russia to steal.
I don’t see how even Trump can square that circle.
Is not an approximation. The language they are using is as definitive as we are going to get without directly accusing Russia of engaging in cyber attacks aimed at influencing American elections. Which, while that is what has happened, is not something you want to bandy about on the international stage lightly.
The Republicans cannot add any “feasibility” to their ticket. Anything they do now and actually for the past six months is nothing more than just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Either way they are hitting the iceberg.
They had an opportunity over a year ago to prep their field and ensure that the stakes were much higher for entry to the process. Yes, Trump could have run as an Independent but would more than likely have suffered the same fate as all Independents. That is why Bernie ran as a Democrat.
Trump is the result of all of the BS that the Republican leadership fed its base going back to Reagan and the Moral Majority. They were finally called on it by that part of their voters that were fed-up with false promises and are reactionary to change. The “Republicans” can only look in the mirror and hopefully do self-introspection on where they have taken themselves.
My only hope is that their failings do not lead to a President Trump. I will be voting for Hillary and actively working to defeat Donald Trump.
I wonder what it’s like to have a political career that was decades in the making destroyed almost overnight?
"Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you can find the 33,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said, speaking into his lapel pin.
Mr. Pence, it’s NOT the DNC determing the origins of the hack…its the f-ing state dept/CIA. “If the media does its job” WTF?
Redefining triangulation:
The ability to hold three contradictory positions in the same breath
A:“it’s probably not Russia.”
“Nobody knows,” he repeated. “Honestly they have no idea if it’s Russia. It might be Russia.”
B: "There doesn’t have to be " a Federal Minimum wage
“Leave it and raise it”
“Ten. I would say 10. But let the states do it”
