    Too much winning; that needs to slow down.
    Man, I must have missed where you gave Obama a pass on things when the market was doing well at points in his time in office.

    How does Flynn, a career military intelligence man, not realize that the line he's talking to the Russian Ambassador on is for sure bugged? Rookie mistake for someone who was part of "the best people".

    Graham asking about golden showers in that genteel Carolina drawl would be the absolute best.

What you've pointed out though is that there are idiots on both sides of the isle. If you remove the groups from my example and yours it doesn't change the fact that there are relationships between this administration (don't forget Paul Manafort resigned due to Russian ties as well) and what we'll call a "less than friendly" foreign power. Is that not worth looking into?
    And most thought looking into Sec. Clinton's pay-to-play scheme, money laundering, and foreign favors were worth looking into as well. Thankfully, The People had a vote in that one.

    You're right, the people had a say in that one, and should in this matter too. I'm not sure what point you're making here.

    Ah yes "winning": 23 days in we have the following "wins":

    - Top national security aide Michael Flynn, caught in a lie, forced to resign.
    - Federal courts block Trump's executive order banning travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries.
    - Trump's plan to immediately "repeal and replace" Obamacare is frozen by the reality that he never had actually had a health care plan to substitute.
    - Mexico's president, insulted by Trump, cancels his state visit.
    - A contentious call with the Prime Minister of Australia (an American ally) concludes when Trump abruptly ends the call.
    - A tail-between-the-legs acceptance of America's longstanding "one China" policy, which he'd threatened to upend.
    - An embarrassing display in which he discusses a surprise missile launch by North Korea in the public setting of his Mar-a-Lago club.
    - Lies about voter fraud and a "massacre" that never happened have made the administration a laughingstock.
    - Conway caught up in ethics investigation for comments about Ivanka's line of clothing
    - Spent every weekend in Florida at his private club besides his first weekend
    - Broke the record for EO's signed by a President in his first year already despite having majority rule in Congress
    - Lowest approval rating in history for a newly elected President and dropping
    - Gives a Fake News site Breitbart a seat in the Press room who lobs him softball questions about unfair media treatment
    - Drops Hillary Clinton Investigation because it "doesn't play anymore" after the election

    It will be good to get to the source of the illegal leaks.
    And this is a person who gave a total of zero fucks about the legality of leaks when they were directed at Clinton a few months back. But that's being a blind partisan for you: Everything is cool if it undermines the other side; nothing is cool if it undermines your side.

    The leaks came from the democrat party, about the democrat party inner workings.

    You are becoming an expert at comparing apples and oranges, and thinking people believe your shtick.

    Julian Assange was in the inner workings of the Democrat party?!?!?

    The media is really blowing this out of proportion. I believe at the end of the day, what was said and what it meant will be very minor and likely wouldnt stick to anything if the mdia wasnt trying to sabotage Trump.

    In regards to the question....why in the hell is the NSA spying on the WH when they need to be worried about ISIS? Is kinda weird.

    NSA was spying on the Russian Amb. and his phone calls, not the WH...
    Also Flynn wasn't even his position, he was a private citizen, which is kind of a no-no.

    You got proof, or are you just guessing to fit your political view?

    And, why are these leaks bad, but Wikileaks is good? Is it just because it is not in favor of your boy?

    All of this talk about Trump and Russians. No news about a sitting congress woman giving information on national security to a Russian comedian?

    President trumps a single member of Congress...(I know, I know)

    Still, I get your point. Maxine Waters is just cray cray.
    There is her and then the other Congresswomen who made a trip to Syria that may have been paid for the Syrian regime.

    Likely because he was not discussing anything overtly illegal. He is a blunt speaking career military guy and not at all politically savvy. A good tool in the bag of any POTUS one that need be kept in check. That conversation was "bugged" on both ends. The question is which side is the source of the leak.

    Lol do you actually believe the shit you say sometimes?

    So he just called and asked how their family's were? And he was relieved of his duty because of that?

    He's just a blunt speaking guy! lol Jesus Christ.

    Flynn's 2016 visit to Russia, to speak, dine with Putin and do an interview with Russia Today is an interesting read. Sheds some light on why he may have had some previous personal contacts over there. He just made a mistake (and arrogant one) discussing what he did and it cost him his job. It doesn't matter where the leak is, it happened, he broke the law and he shouldn't be in his position anymore. It's funny that people act like this is all on Trump, that Flynn leaving is a black eye on his administration...the same people who probably loved Obama. Yet the same guy, Flynn, hate Obama and even stated in that recap interview about the Russia visit that it was hard to defend the U.S. leadership when it was so shitty at the time.

    Illegal and politically damaging are two different things. He was relieved of his duties because he lied to the VP and the POTUS also the VP was made a fool of politically humping his lie.

    He was fired by the Obama administration for being a blunt speaking ass when he did not like how things were being run.
  • Azubuike24
    The Pence comments on Flynn were prior to Jan. 20th, so it's fair to say he did not have the inside intelligence of exactly what was said. Of course he's going to back his "employee" until proven otherwise.
