Personally, I don’t want the generals to do anything: no military coups or appearances of such. Its better for the Republic if its a legal process by which they are impeached/removed from office.
I came up with a few titles for books we’ll probably see in a few years:
THE HUNT FOR RED NOVEMBER
THE GANG THAT COULDN’T PREZ STRAIGHT
NIGHT OF CAMP CLUSTERFUCK

Son-in-Law Kushner is Trump’s closest advisor, even more so than Flynn was. If Kushner did this, he did so at the direction of Trump. As Trump said re Flynn’s discussion of sanctions with Kislyak “I did not order him to talk sanctions, but I would have if I thought he would not (paraphrasing).”
It is just a matter of when, not if Trump will be gone.
I am talking about the generals that are part of the administration, McMaster, Kelly & Mattis. If its clear to me that extremely questionable business is happening, maybe outright treason, it should be obvious to them as well. Why do they go out and lie for Trump?
Even with all this going on and realize, Trounce knows more than anybody how invested and entangled with the Russians that he is, he still invited this very same envoy into the White House and gave him a private audience, sans any Americans outside the inner bubble, and decided that right then was the perfect time to divulge National secrets.
That risk can not possibly be worth any reward unless that reward is freedom. Only a person facing the rest of their life in prison and saddled with that shame would have any need to take such a risk.
And he did it on call. Putin asked and received. If that isn’t blatant then nothing is.

Pretty much sounds like treason.
What to do now ?
How about “Mr. PESOS* Goes to Washington”
*PESOS = pig-eyed sack of shit
He usually does.
Trumpanzees, please!
In reality, it’s like this: Because Orthodox Jews are the only Israeli citizens exempt from mandatory military service, they are the most vocal warmongers.

That’s my own original design, I made a lot of these fake Trump signs during the campaign and posted them to TPM and a few other places like Eschaton. I suppose I could make a bumper sticker or something. I’m not sure how to make that affordable or practical.
As a sequel to “I never mentioned Israel”, I expect him to absolve himself from collusion with the Russians something like this: “I do not know anything about my campaign’s collusion with the Russians. In fact, I specifically told them that I didn’t want to know anything about it.”
You heard it here first.

Backchannel is incorrect. This is a bypass, an endaround.

Cafe Press?
“There are no secrets that time does not reveal.” – Jean Racine
I checked CafePress, it’s not a match for this sort of image. They want 200DPI JPEG CMYK images. I set this up as a professional 2 color Pantone job in Adobe Illustrator, an exact match to Trump graphics materials. Lowest quote I found was around $200 for a run of 100 stickers. And since these are full bleed (blue all the way to the edges) that might cost more. I might check local sources after the weekend, but I’d need a lot of people committing cash to buy them before I’d print any at my own up front expense. I suspect there might be enough people, but I’m not going to exploit TPM for it.
What was Jared Kushner doing and why?
What he apparently did was to try to arrange a secret and secure communication channel with the Kremlin, without the US government’s knowledge. He is reported to have asked to use the Russian embassy’s facilities to do so.
Why would he do such a thing? I, of course, don’t know and suspect if he indeed did, there must be a combination contributing factors.
One is the possibility that it is to get Trump (aka Agent Orange) and Son-in-Law better and easier access to their Russian financiers. Imagine, you could even work with sanctioned financial entities via secret and secure communications, and not even report it on your taxes!
I’m not sure which is worse, my cynicism or the possibility the idea might reflect reality?
We have enough trolls here already, but thanks for thinking of us.
