Good stuff in this thread filling gaps in Sessions' recall!

(THREAD) Following Sessions' Congressional testimony, investigators must find out who was in the room with Jeff Sessions when he negotiated sanctions policy with Sergey Kislyak in his Senate office on September 8, 2016. I think we know two of the people. Please read on and share.

Have you seen that a state NK newspaper (is there another kind?) issued Trump with a death sentence? Sorry no links.

I think there’s only one type, Yes. It was for being mean to KJU, apparently.

Here you go, Lweji.

Trump sentenced

lweji There’s a link to it at 4.31 up there ^^

Ah x-post cozie!

The Kim thing is very funny though. Although in seriousness, woukd he be craze enough to send a hit squad?

It’s a war of words.

45 really doesn’t like being called ‘old’ does he?

NRSC poll: Moore trails Jones by 12

Republican Roy Moore is trailing Democrat Doug Jones by 12 points in the Alabama special Senate election, according to a poll conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee after five women accused Moore of pursuing them as teenagers.

And he was supposed to be a shoo-in as well.

NRSC poll: Moore trails Jones by 12

Encouraging, but remember that Trump trailed Hillary in the polls quite often. And I wouldn't put it past the RNC to publicize bogus statistics to encourage Dem voter apathy. That apathy was (IMHO) what cost us the election.

Get out the (Dem) vote, Alabama!!!

It’s going to be an interesting few days. Especially if 45 continues with his ‘a plague on both your houses’ stance - having given his support to Strange, initially.

I reckon that any ‘stats’ will be used by the GOP to put pressure on Moore, Across. I doubt it would affect the Democratic vote.

Almost a week late, once the direction of the winds clearly turned against Moore, brave and noble Ivanka steps forward with another courageous stand.

This is highly concerning

Waiting on more details (race is also headed toward a recount)

Ouch @ the Susan Henessy tweet (although its spot on).

She’s speaking for 45 - who is remaining ‘aloof’ from all this.
