Devin Nunes Gets A Pretty Basic Fact Wrong In Defending His Memo
Nunes suggested that Donald Trump had never met with George Papadopoulos. There's a photo of them sitting at the same table.

And we certainly didn't have a national security meeting right here:

They're currently trying to haul the Dow up by its bootstraps.

Scoop from @byrontau: The Senate Intelligence Committee is expecting to release in the coming weeks a report on vulnerabilities in the U.S. election system, the first product of a yearlong investigation into Russian election interference.

What happens if the report is published, recommendations made and nothing gets done?

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 21:03

The Dow closed just over 1,000 points down. Whether 45 comments on that..............?

lettuceWrap · 08/02/2018 21:04

Dow closes 1032 down.

Lweji · 08/02/2018 21:08

The Dow Jones is back to November 2017 levels.
So... since elected... no stock market gains.

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 21:15

I don't think that that's entirely true, Lweji.

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 21:22

The election was in 2016, remember. Grin

Just been catching up with the Porter news. Has the WH ever has as many criminals in it before? Gorka, with the warrant out for his arrest in Hungary. Porter, I think the photos say it all. Flynn, now convicted liar. George P, same as Mike.

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 21:40

Mr Colbert has the floor?

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 21:42

Although I hope that that's one that 45 doesn't see. Grin

The Senate Intelligence Committee is expecting to release in the coming weeks a report on vulnerabilities in the U.S. election system, the first product of a yearlong investigation into Russian election interference.

What's sad is that my first thought was that we'd shortly thereafter get an announcement from the WH that the midterm elections 'have been postponed indefinitely' whilst they 'figure things out'. TBH, I don't think the Scrotus Regime trying that tactic is an impossibility. Scary times.

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 21:47

Scary times indeed - but I don't think they could or would.

Lweji · 08/02/2018 22:10

The election was in 2016, remember. grin

Sorry, of course. My excuse is that I've had a headache for hours.
And the last few months seem like years. Wink

Lweji · 08/02/2018 22:11

And who cares about the truth anymore, anyway?

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 22:18

Weeelllllll.........

I was going to add that being involved with 45's doings puts you in a weird time-space continuum. Grin

cozietoesie · 08/02/2018 22:23

If there's no Kelly to restrain him, he might chide Wall St, again....... Still - maybe he'll come up with the reason for the low 2017 inflation rate in the US. Stranger things have happened. Grin
