It's cool, I figured you were externalizing some stress.
Try prune juice.
You and me both, man. Like I keep saying, I have this avatar for a good reason.

I'll take that bet. Forgotten by July, if not before.
On that topic though, this was... odd: Israel lauds U.S. security ties following Trump disclosures
Supposedly they were the ultimate source of the info, and are now saying they have no worries about it being shared, or something.
I'm just surprised they commented at all. It's all just kinda weird.

Slowly but surely, even republicans are starting to think maybe something should be done.
The current legislation cares only about the voting base. They will continue to turn a blind eye to Trumps dealings as long as it involves a net gain in their support. As soon as the base that abandons them surpasses the nut Trump support base, they'll turn on him.
Fortunately, it's close to that point already.

Earlier today I read an article that said the GOP base is still behind Trump, and they look upon all these scandals as either fake news or the media being too hard on a new president still getting his bearings. In other words most of the country hates Trump, except for the 40% that fucking love him. And the Republicans in Congress only care about that 40%, because thanks to gerrymandering they represent the base districts for the GOP.
Which is frankly disheartening.
It's always about him in every way.
All Trump and no not-Trump makes Trump a Trumpy Trump
Dear God, now I'm picturing a bad Smurfs rip-off where they're orange and say "Trump" all the time instead!

Well shit. I guess I was wrong.
Funny thing. I was talking to my dad about Rosenstein this weekend. I couldn't figure him out, he was such a middle of the road straight shooter and I couldn't figure out why he would give cover to Trump like that. Now I think I'm starting to see it a bit better. I wonder if this was the play all along.[DOUBLEPOST=1495065444,1495064893][/DOUBLEPOST]Apparently Rosenstein only informed the WH like 30 minutes before he announced it. Which kind of follows my thought. I wonder if Rosenstein understands that he's basically bulletproof from the WH. Taking him out at this point would be basically a Saturday Night Massacre. As dumb as Trump is i can't believe he is that stupid. I kind of hope he is, however.
Uh, no. He was a player.

Michael Flynn's lawyers have told the GOP subcommittee that he will not be complying with their subpoena.
Well that's a clear sign of innocence.
