Discussion: Rubio Clashes With Trump: DOJ Didn't 'Do Anything Wrong' With Carter Page FISA App

@system

Looks like the juvenile water sipper has had a rare moment of intelligence.

Now, impeach the orange, historical coward and Putin lap dog, before our country disappears.

I really want to think this is better than nothing.

But I think ā€œbetter than nothingā€ is only measured in votes.

Will this be the week?

And then Trump named Carter Page as one of the few foreign policy advisors to his campaign. So, yeah, Marco, it is ā€Trump-related.ā€

Guess this is Marco trying to walk the line between saying something rational based on evidence and trying not to annoy the Dotardā€™s followers too badly.

But Trey Gowdy just said on television that if the intelligence services disagree with Trump then they should resign.

I suspect that Senate support for Trump has already collapsed and McConnell wonā€™t hold any votes (including one to confirm Kavanaugh) to hide the fact that several of his Senators will oppose him in protest. Weā€™ll see.

ā€˜Rubber-band Manā€™ Rubio gets up on his high-heeled hind legs for a spasm of courage, thenā€¦

Perhaps Rubio has realized that sucking up to Trump is never going to get him anything but humiliation.

Perhaps, in the spirit of compromise, they could pledge to tell Trump only what he wants to hear. Win/win.

Yea, I donā€™t think ā€œclashesā€ is right term for Rubio in any context, besides Hawaiian shirts.

Of course Trey Gowdy doesnā€™t understand that the people in those intelligence services took the same oath to defend and protect the Constitution and the United States that elected officials take so their loyalty is to the United States not Donald Trump.

I am so sick of Republicans who think everybody puts personal loyalty over country.

Soft peddling Rubio! He canā€™t help but talk out both sides of his mouth!

It would serve Rubio well if he have a session with his junior Freedom Caucus and explain what the FACTS are around this FISA Warrant?

If I knew how to Photoshop or create pix, Iā€™d create one showing Rubio balancing himself on a tower of quivering Jell-o, swaying back and forth talking nonsense which heā€™ll walk back after tomorrowā€™s djtā€™s blast. And the Jell-o will be a cowardly yellow puddle of water.

@jootjoint The Freedom Caucus is extreme RW members of the House if Iā€™m not mistaken. In the senate theyā€™re just called Rs.

Rubio continued: ā€œSo they knew who he was before the campaign. Then you see the guy kind of gravitating around a leading campaign, and then other things came up on their screen and they said ā€˜Weā€™ve got to look at this guy.ā€™

I love the passive construction of this phrasing of Pageā€™s interactions with the Trump campaign. Sort of as he were a stray puppy the Trumpsters took in out of an excess of benevolence. Just like Manafort, Flynn, Papadoupoulas, Caputo, Rick Gates, Stone, and others. I never knew they were such fans of Siberian huskies.

This is interesting. When things like this happen I think about catastrophic internal polling. Heā€™s building a life raft. Or thinking about '20?

Rubio has 2020 vision.

Rubioā€™s probably using the same oiuja board as Jeffy Fake, trying to game out some scenario to seize the ā€˜20 Repugnican Revivalā€™ nomination.

Fat flippinā€™ chance. :smirk:

Remember, thereā€™s a 48 hour waiting period on anything he says. Letā€™s reschedule for Tuesday.
