So Donnie is back to bashing the NY Times even though you know they helped him big time a few weeks ago when they cracked that Obama wiretap case wide open.

Russia joked about their election interference today. I guess we can quote them now as saying "we did it."

"To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1," the recording begins, in Russian and English. Press 2 "to use the services of Russian hackers," and 3 "to request election interference."

More great news with Trump and Russia. www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.1e950cc82c8d"The United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian close to President Vladi*mir Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S., European and Arab officials. The meeting took place around Jan. 11 — nine days before Trump’s inauguration — in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean, officials said. Though the full agenda remains unclear, the UAE agreed to broker the meeting in part to explore whether Russia could be persuaded to curtail its relationship with Iran, including in Syria, a Trump administration objective that would likely require major concessions to Moscow on U.S. sanctions. Though Prince had no formal role with the Trump campaign or transition team, he presented himself as an unofficial envoy for Trump to high-ranking Emiratis involved in setting up his meeting with the Putin confidant, according to the officials, who did not identify the Russian. Prince was an avid supporter of Trump who gave $250,000 last year to support the GOP nominee’s campaign, records show. He has ties to people in Trump’s circle, including Stephen K. Bannon, now serving as the president’s chief strategist and senior counselor. Prince’s sister Betsy DeVos serves as education secretary in the Trump administration. And Prince was seen in the Trump transition offices in New York in December. U.S. officials said the FBI has been scrutinizing the Seychelles meeting as part of a broader probe of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election and alleged contacts between associates of Putin and Trump. The FBI declined to comment."

politicalwire.com/2017/04/04/fbi-creates-unit-coordinate-trump-russia-probe/“The FBI is planning to create a special section based at its Washington headquarters to co-ordinate its investigation of Russian activities designed to influence the 2016 presidential election,” the Financial Times reports. “The move, a sign of how seriously the bureau is taking allegations of Russian meddling in American politics, is also aimed at giving FBI director James Comey greater visibility into the investigation’s granular details.” Said one FBI agent: “It’s meant to surge resources.”

He's being replaced by Gowdy, not exactly a huge step-up, but hey will take what we can. However something is definitely happening, if the FBI managed to get Nunes to step-down.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) will temporarily step aside from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including interactions between Moscow and the Trump campaign.
The probe will be taken over by Reps. Michael Conaway (R-Texas), Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Tom Rooney (R-Fla.)

It's looking more and more like current president collided with a foreign power in order to help with the election. That's insane when you think about it. How & why, we don't know, though.

Just as he attempts to improve his approval rating, more negative news related to Trump suddenly appear. I swear this administration has the worse memory when it comes to Russia related activities. Gee why I wonder why? www.nytimes.com/2017/04/06/us/politics/jared-kushner-russians-security-clearance.html"When Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, sought the top-secret security clearance that would give him access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, he was required to disclose all encounters with foreign government officials over the last seven years. But Mr. Kushner did not mention dozens of contacts with foreign leaders or officials in recent months. They include a December meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, and one with the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank, arranged at Mr. Kislyak’s behest."

"The real scandal with Donald Trump and Russia is not oh he's Putin's bitch, the real scandal is what happens when he decides to prove he isn't. Now he's proving he isn't, he's bombing Putin's ally."
www.cnbc.com/2017/04/06/us-military-has-launched-more-50-than-missiles-aimed-at-syria-nbc-news.html
Let's have a gander at your exceedingly helpful rhetoric, shall we? -Actually, it's more likely he wants to improve our relations with Russia, so he can make his master er... buddy Putin, happy. -Also, what would your reaction be if it was proven that Russia was blackmailing Trump, and he was a Putin stooge? -People are scared of Trump's connections to Russia because of his seemingly too overly buddy buddy relationship with Putin, to the point where he won't even insult the man, despite the fact that he has no issue with insulting every other world leader. -Putin and Trump's relationship is absolutely weird and bizarre, at the very least. -Also if Trump were to basically be revealed to be a puppet, that would be a huge slap in the face to democracy in the U.S., you don't care about that? Plus it would further the conflict between U.S. and Russia. -And the Trump / Russia thing relationship has nothing to do with the middle east (Trump's already planning an attack on Iran for money & oil, that has nothing to do with Putin, but hey at least he's "better" than Obama, right). It's all about lifting those sanctions in Ukraine. -We shouldn't let someone under FBI investigation fill a Supreme Court vacancy until we're sure he's not a Putin puppet. -Also, Trump being a traitor and puppet to Putin -Trump being a Russian spy/traitor -Our supposed "traitor in chief" Please delete your account, thank you. therealcomicman117 Gabbard 2020, for fuck's sake, dazed thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/327743-dem-rep-us-attack-on-syrian-airfield-short-sighted-reckless Kyle really hit the nail on the head with that video. After yesterday's events, people need to stop holding on to this whole conspiracy theory of Trump being Putin's puppet. It was fucking dumb to begin with, and it'd be especially dumb to do now. I hope Gabbard runs for 2020, because I think she'd have an easy win over Trump. I could see her checking a lot of boxes for people from both sides.

I hope Gabbard runs for 2020, because I think she'd have an easy win over Trump. I could see her checking a lot of boxes for people from both sides. Excuse me, what? Trump is an idiot. You don't think he might have done this in a blatant attempt just to make himself not look like a Puppet, in addition to trying to boost his sagging ratings? I mean he did warn Russia ahead of time of the attack. This isn't some conspiracy theory, this is a full fledged investigation, and its still ongoing. The whole Trump team / Russian connections is not dead at all, and if Trump doesn't have Russian connections then his staff sure as heck has a lot to explain. Sessions, Flynn, & recently Kushner all seem to have bad memories when it comes to Russian contact, and its likely not a coincidence. Look Trump may not be a Russian puppet, but last night proved absolute shit in terms of closing the whole Trump / Russia story. The investigation is still ongoing, and its not stopping anytime soon. It's gonna take a while to finish, if anything.

Y'all...Tulsi Gabbard can not get through a presidential primary. There is literally zero chance. Apologizing for mass murderers and being admired by Richard Spencer, David Duke, and Steve Bannon is not going to do you any favors. She might have her House seat primaried next year. I don't mean to throw cold water on your fantasies, but just wanna give you a heads up.

I don't mean to throw cold water on your fantasies, but just wanna give you a heads up. Gabbard is also admired by a ton of people on the progressive left...who cares if a few morons support her? Spencer is also in favor of single-payer healthcare and heavier reliance on nuclear energy as opposed to fossil fuels. Should we condemn those things simply because he advocates for them? Also, she never "apologized" for Assad, she's skeptical of his involvement in the gas attacks and believes we shouldn't have acted so rashly. When we're potentially on the brink of a fucking war, this level of skepticism and poise is absolutely necessary. But considering you vehemently supported Clinton (AKA Mrs. Warhawk), I can't say I'm surprised at your lack of insight here.

There's very little doubt amongst most thinking leaders about this. She expressed the same support for violent right-wing extremist nationalists like Narendra Modi. I'm just warning you, but if you wanna keep attaching yourself to a sinking ship *just because* she supported Bernie Sanders, go right ahead and accuse me of empty partisanship.

Are you telling me you support the U.S. bombing Syria, ibad?

Are you telling me you support the U.S. bombing Syria, ibad? The first thing is the kind of Russian-style "whataboutism" that Trump engages in that got us here. And I'm not opposed to any action in retaliation for the images we saw but certainly not without congressional approval, especially telling the Russians and Syrians about it beforehand, and without really effectively taking away their capabilities of using the airfields. And I think we're off to the wrong start to begin with when we bomb a country we won't accept refugees from. But, shocker, this is a complicated and nuanced issue! What is not a complicated or nuanced issue is that there is no point in paying for a trip to MEET with a man who casually gasses his own civilians as Tulsi Gabbard did and later try to apologize and cast doubt over his obvious (to people who PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE) culpability in this no matter how much you try to align yourself as a "progressive."
