They can't concentrate attention and funds that way during the midterms. Smile

He is so aggressive with the hand shaking

Did you see how Trump pulled his hand back and then Macron pulled it back to him Grin

Ginger, that is disturbing.

For some light entertainment and flashback:

Will & Grace do the 2016 US Presidential election.

@WhiteHouse to establish 'war room' to combat mounting questions about #Russia-@realDonaldTrump campaign ties.

I wonder who they'll put on it. Isn't government still understaffed?

That's also probably why Rex isn't having a Ramadan event. He's too busy. Sure.

Sorry red, x post!

It's Friday night, bombshells are now par for the course.

It might be a regular Friday night occurance in Trumpian but fairness it appears it's not just me going wtf

Yashar Ali @ yashar
A CIA veteran in a text to me just now: "This is the first time the hair has stood up on the back of my neck WTF."

This is a big deal if true. Oh and if anyone can be fucked to do anything about it.

More reason Jared Kushner must have his security clearance suspended. My #FridayFeeling is that #Kushner is bad, very bad.

JUST IN: Senate Intel Committee demands Trump campaign turn over all records and documents: report hill.cm/NpuAfGg

Robert Costa @costareports
Scoop: Trump campaign committee has been asked by Senate to gather and produce all docs/records going back to 2015

Ari Melber @AriMelber
What's notable here is a bipartisan request aimed directly at the formal Trump Campaign Organization (not simply individual former aides)

Robert Costa @costareports
Important to note: Senate request isn't just to preserve documents. It's a demand for camp to produce docs on all things Russia-related.

Natasha Bertrand @ natashabertrand
CIA/NSA vet just sent me a note re: Kushner. "GOOD GRIEF. This is serious."

CIA busy tonight with their mobiles then...

GingerIvy · 27/05/2017 00:42

You have to figure that if Kushner is in that deep, Ivanka is too.

NOW will they revoke their security clearance FFS??

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 27/05/2017 00:43

Sorry red, didn't mean to sound dismissive - it is shocking. Just feeling weary this evening

WaPo: This request "represents the first time that Trump’s official campaign structure has been drawn into the Senate committee’s" probe.

Did anyone else see that DeVos is perfectly fine with federal tax dollars going to schools that refuse to take children from LGBTQ families or who are LGBTQ themselves? I guess she'll be fine if schools refused to take minorities, disabled people, or less academic children provided they said 'God told us not to'. I cannot find words to express my disgust at her. All that emerges are spluttering sounds.

The Montana voters are cool with Gianforte assault. Several were interviewed and at first denied it happened. When they were told people from Fox witnessed it they said they didn't care if a journalist was body slammed.

So much for freedom of the press, access to information, and free speech. With the right wing Sinclair company buying up the local TV stations and pumping out right wing propaganda 24 hours a day you can expect a lot more of this nonsense. It's worse than Fox because a lot of people don't watch the main news channels, they only watch the ones relevant to their town or state.

We're doomed.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 27/05/2017 00:49

This administration is so grossly incompetent I'm hopeful they'll implode before we reach doom

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 27/05/2017 00:51

Speculation on twitter that Flynn has turned, hence the story.

Just speculation and not sourced though.

Yep. Best way for a rival to sink Jared now is to leak or tell Mueller more about how that went down inside the WH and his role.
