Discussion: Trump Lashes Out At Comey After NYT Report On FBI Probe Of Russia Ties

[maricaibo]

If the government is shut down how is it Trump still has access to a cell phone?

I am so sick of this thing we have in our White House.

Since he had such a strong response I would believe that he is as guilty as heck. The louder he cries the more he feels he is in a corner.

The person who wrote these tweets is the POTUS, the most powerful person in the world and almost single handedly capable of ending life as we know it. Just think about that…

Frankly, this report just solidifies one of the questions I’ve had since 1/20/17. Who has the real nuclear football? One would hope the intelligence community swapped it out.

look to impeach the motherfucker by around December or January to freeze Pence in his place

You mean freeze him like this?

Kidding aside your time lines looks good.

Short version: Are you a Russian agent, bro? You act like a Russian agent.

I would prefer to think of it as “the most powerful position in the world” so as not to give too much credit to the current holder.

Don the Russian spy is literally quaking in his boots.

Does TPM have a writer in the UK @summer_concepcion ?
The timestamps on the tweets appear to be in London time .

He spent in total 2 hours composing these tweets ?

I guess all it took was a Bone Spurs Twitter Meltdown for somebody else to cover the main story. Earlier this morning, I checked the WaPo and a couple other newspapers & the only other one that covered it was The NY Daily News. Evidently, news that the President of the United States being investigated as a Russian asset ain’t that big of a deal ?

SAD!

I think it must be because of some National Emergency or something.

Can someone please activate this, so we can get the government open again and get people paid?

You mean freeze him like this?

Q-Tips looks like he’s thinking hard about someone other than Mother Pence.

It just seems disturbing to wait this thing out for years while Tump and Putin destroy so much of our country and hurt so many people. I cant wait until September. And the guy is a traitor. He deserves more than to just give up the presidency.

If the Russians took just enough of the right people off the voting rolls in a few key states to tip the election, that resulted in all this mayhem and distress ( not to mention probably the same for changing the Brexit vote), then what are we to do in the aftermath of that realization? Should judges that were appointed by Trump resign? Can his executive orders be undone immediately? Just how do we unwind a hostile takeover by a foreign government ( or two)?

I thought Sarah Slanders said last night that everything was President Obama’s fault. Oh, and that Director Comey was a partisan hack.

[lastroth]

What can you say? It’s all been said over and over about this goon.

I know how you feel, but when it’s all said and done I want a timeline of events. I need a timeline of events to help me appreciate where and when the GOP got snookered.

[katscherger]

Or smocked.

Sometimes when they are scooped in something big the big publications seem to go through a sulking period.

Josh did have a post up last night.

[eggrollian]

I’d say Trump is running out of runway.

Amos 5:24 “But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.”

I’ve got a bunch of snow, so my righteousness would like the judgement to be hard and cold.
