Haha, ABC suspends the reporter for 4 weeks for pushing the story you all gobbled up.

When do you start to question if you’re chasing the dragon?
And before you know who tries to alter what they said, this means Flynn isn’t “flipping” on Trump.
It’s really getting embarrassing.
Well that's the difference between real journalism and crap like Fox and other right wing outfits...they're actually concerned about accuracy.
And of course Flynn is giving assistance to Mueller, that's the entire point of the plea deal he made.
Nice attempt at a pivot though. This is pretty irrelevant in the big scheme of things.

Look at this dummy today...his lawyers must be banging their heads on their desks.
I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

On some level you have to admire the realpolitiking of the republicans. There was a ruthlessness to the manner of the execution, & the unrelated amendments. It feels like a historic moment, a real victory/coup for them. The impact will be profound in shaping the immediate future. & it is progress in the most absurd sense. Seems like a crazy moment, much more than another lurch to the right, it has the scope to shape America’s future (& the corporate world’s) for generations. The sheer weight & drama of what they’ve pulled off could well be historic in its implications.
I guess I just wasn’t made for these times..
You're right. It started with Citizens United, which paved the way for a coup like this. And it is a coup by the billionaires, historic and will destroy the future of this country if it becomes law. A shift like none we've seen before, to be signed off by a criminal who colluded with a rival country to win the presidency. This is completely insane.

But I guess they had to pass it to know what’s in it. Can we at least all agree it was a bipartisan bill since a democrat sat in a single meeting once? I just want consistency in logical reasoning.
Not even remotely the same thing.
Also nobody ever said that.

If this monstrosity passes, the next move will be to attack social security and medicare. They'll come forward and say that we're looking at big deficits, and added debt, so we're going to have to make cuts. Wait and see...I guarantee it.
What we're watching tonight is a political group who owe their donors. They will pummel the lower income, and middle class in order to repay their debts. Not just now, but for years to come. Then they'll attack their safety nets next. It reminds me of the GOP going after UE benefits during the great recession. Just downright evil. But this is much worse because it will widen the gap between rich/poor and exacerbate income inequality in this country.

I was just handed a 479-page tax bill a few hours before the vote. One page literally has hand scribbled policy changes on it that can’t be read. This is Washington, D.C. at its worst. Montanans deserve so much better. pic.twitter.com/q6lTpXoXS0

Wow, what a surprise. Hillary is going to be arrested any minute!
At the gym today on Fox, the bottom ticker said "Prior Obama appointment, Mike Flynn...." Not sure if that was a quote from Trump WH or just Fox being Fox. When they were done with that, they were running a story on the latest sex scandal involving a Democrat (Can't remember his name at the moment.) All other news channels were Flynn/Russia.
#578 Re: The Garden » Getting Fit and Staying That Way » 441 weeks ago
I tried jogging for a couple days and i hurt my back...so maybe ill give it a go in the spring again...til then im just sticking with core exercises and a couple yoga poses
I recommend brisk walking instead to be honest. Jogging is hard on the joints, and IMO simply not necessary to lose weight. Walk briskly (enough to be short of breath if you were having a conversation) for 20 minutes and that's enough.

This is historic and huge news. This means Flynn has been cooperating for a while, got his plea deal and is ready to testify.
Also Kushner just had talks with Mueller the other day. Undoubtedly to see if he would tell the truth or lie (damned either way) and compare it with what Flynn was giving up.
Trump, Jr, Kush, maybe even Pence and Sessions. This is very very serious.
The irony in all this? Obama let Flynn go and told Trump not to hire him as he was security risk.
Oh god slc...in terms of irony...the only scratches the surface
haha, yea. Lock her up!!!
So is Fox News running repeats of the Benghazi hearings right now or what? 24/7 Clinton/Benghazi/Uranium starts now!
