I wonder when this thread will fill up.

The Telegraph has a rather bruising opinion piece on Trumps handshakes. My favourite bit is

"Trump is a poor person’s idea of what a rich person looks like"

A line that probably only the Tory paper of choice could really pull off. Trump is after all 'new money' :o

I must say the news of Flynn's resignation'' firing gave me the warm fuzzies. The cock-eyed optimist in me hopes this is the first pebble in the landslide to come.

I've been walking around muttering the question Sen Baker asked during the Watergate Investigation as if it is a magic spell; "What did the President know, and when did he know it?". That question ended up with Nixon's resignation a year later.

Sen Baker, btw was a Republican, which shows that at one time they weren't afraid (or too greedy) to question their own!

Trump is a poor person’s idea of what a rich person looks like

I agree with that and I'm firmly middle class.
And a lefty.
He tries too much and he'll always be new money due to his attitudes.

The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?

Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?

Well, yes they will if you insist on doing your dealing in the middle of a bloody restaurant. FFS

I'd say it's because he didn't drain any fucking swamp. He just made it worse.
Washington seems to get a case of Orville Dam damage. They better start evacuating.

"Look! A fish!!!!!" Deflect and redirect.

Again, he and his cohorts are trying to tell us WHAT THE STORY IS! In other words.... he is demanding the media divert their attention "over there, please..." and away from the whole Russia debacle.

Thank god the media is not that stupid (well, except Fox).

JUST IN: Trump: "Real story" of Flynn resignation is illegal leaks hill.cm/cpUaXkj

Its not a very good fish though is it across, because what he is drawing attention to is the fact that his own administration is full of holes and leaks like a sieve. This never reflects well on the person at the top as it just shows them as weak and unable to keep their own house in order. If this is the best he (or whoever is currently on twitter duty) can come up with he really is in the shit.

OUTRAGEOUS: CNN reporting that House intel chief won't probe Trump over #Flynn, but wants inquiry into leaks that led to #FlynnResignation.

.@realDonaldTrump no the story is why we're you covering for Flynn?

Jordan Uhl ‏**@JordanUhl** 11m11 minutes ago
.@realDonaldTrump The only leaks involving North Korea are likely to come from you having meetings in front of everyone at Mar-A-Lago

@realDonaldTrump You praised wikileaks and asked Russia to hack the DNC.

Mark Pygas ‏**@MarkPygas** 11m11 minutes ago
@realDonaldTrump You also promised to be the most transparent administration in history. So leaks shouldn't be an issue.

@realDonaldTrump and to answer your question: yes. As long as you continue to try to treat America like the Titanic, the leaks will continue

#TheResistance ‏*@AynRandPaulRyan* 13m13 minutes ago
@realDonaldTrump Your voters railed against Clinton's 'extremely careless' behavior. That's adorable.

Quite a few journalists are pointing out that perhaps there'd be less leaks if he didn't deal with classified stuff in the middle of a country club dining room.

Watch what’s happening here. The White House is trying to make this a story about leaks, not Russia. Don’t be fooled.

theweek.com/speedreads/672669/bbc-claims-second-source-backs-trump-dossier

BBC correspondent Paul Wood came forward Wednesday to reveal that there are multiple intelligence sources alleging Russia is in possession of potentially embarrassing or compromising material regarding President-elect Donald Trump. Formerly, only a single source was known to have been aware of the alleged material.

House Intel Chief tells @mkraju he won't probe Trump over the Flynn scandal, President may have executive privilege

I took a look through the replies to Trumps tweets and there are noticeably less pro-trump types on there at the moment. It is very, very scathing of him. Where have they all gone?

The White House is trying to make this a story about leaks, not Russia. Don’t be fooled.

And yet, leaks and Russia are definitely linked.

Particularly as Russia has been accused of leaking leaks to Wikeleaks. As well as being involved in the golden leaks.

I'd have picked another word for the distraction to work properly.

Childish, but a list of what Miller looks like

I posted a probable explanation about why we are seeing less sycophantic comments on Twitter now. Something to do with the order how Twitter presents comments now.

Still, I suspect his critical base has increased. Some people post a barrage of comments.

Thanks lweji I must have missed it in all the excitement.
