The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?

He's just such a twat. The situation in Puerto Rico is horrendous but does he give a shit that Americans are enduring such conditions? No, it's much more fun to be a goady twat on twitter

amp.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/21/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-storm-floods

As the storm cleared on Thursday, rescuers were forced to thread their way through a maze of toppled trees and collapsed communication services. And while many streets remained flooded, Mercader said 70% of the island was without drinking water.

Fourteen thousand people are currently taking refuge in 520 shelters across the island. The government expects that number to increase, as people typically return home after the storm – only to realize that the destruction is too great and that they need to remain in shelter.

He has only given a shit about the hurricanes that have affected States whose governors he is friends with.

STEVE BANNON HELPED WRITE TRUMP’S U.N. SPEECH, CLAIMS SEBASTIAN GORKA, WHO CALLED IT ‘CLASSIC MAGA AGENDA’

Eric Garland @ericgarland
So Bannon is advising the US government just weeks after leaving it?

That's illegal: 18 U.S.C. § 207(b)

Bannon again, with a dose of Gorka to make for an even more toxic read.

Personally, I believe Gorka on this one. After all, the Alabama vote is coming down the line. Wink

lionheart · 22/09/2017 18:22

And an Alaskan bribe. Maybe they are working through the alphabet. Smile

I imagine it would be a better approach to any they could actually devise.

McCain's opposition could open the floodgates now. Others wavering could very well come out and say no since it's going down

SHORT THREAD on KT McFarland. 👇
Has stated she thinks Putin "worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize." She was just confirmed as Amb. to Singapore

Flynn's Influence on Trump Still Visible in his ally McFarland’s Confirmation. She praised Putin’s support of Assad.

MICHAEL FLYNN'S INFLUENCE ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION STILL VISIBLE IN AMBASSADOR CONFIRMATION
www.newsweek.com/michael-flynn-still-influencing-trump-administration-k-t-mcfarland-667694?amp=1

McFarland is a Putin fan like her ally Flynn is. Stated that he is "a great & reasoned leader" "Extremely diplomatic" "Nobel Prize worthy."

KT. McFarland is a long time assoc of Flynn's. Was Kissinger's protege & Kissinger is a long time Putin confidant. They are in same sandbox.

KT McFarland was Air Force One on May 6th the night the original letter on James Comey’s firing was written by Trump and Stephen Miller.

Well "The View" is getting interesting. Scaramucci says Steve Bannon has white nationalist "tendencies" and a "messianic complex."

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy
Reminder: @Scaramucci gave his first interview as WH comms director to Breitbart. He praised it. Said site "captured the spirit" of America.

I doubt that Mr Mueller's material is all sitting in one, easily accessible, safe, Pain. Smile

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 22/09/2017 19:42

True, it's mcgahn that has something stashed in the safe!

It might not rid trump of his problem but it doesn't mean he won't do it anyway. It's how we got here in the first place

.@RepMikeQuigley to @renato_mariotti on House Russia investigation: "if you had seen what I had seen you'd want me to go full throttle."
"The Mueller investigation could take at least another year, maybe two. [The House] investigation is closer to its infancy than conclusion."
"In the meantime we live with the very real threat that the Mueller investigation gets shut down."
"One of the reasons I speak the way I do when I message about this is I'm worried about a Constitutional crisis."
"I think there is a reason he speaks to the base in the manner in which he does. He's prepping them, girding them for this."
"The American public needs to know everything it possibly can."
Also important- Quigley suggested if it were forced to right now the House might have to issue two separate, partisan reports.

It's a difficult timing for Mueller - when do you just say 'Stop - Let's go' when you're in the middle of a sea of cess. I think he'll report sooner rather than later though. The State of the Union requires speedy action.

cozietoesie · 22/09/2017 21:04

To be expected, I think.
