If it was a predominantly conservative press spoon feeding you then yes, it would be a well oiled machine.

It was illegal under the ages-old and never used Logan Act which likely wouldn't be used the first time for this (prosecutors only like to take slam dunks to trial). That notwithstanding, it definitely goes against the established standards of American governance that we only have one President at a time and Flynn was effectively telling Russia to ignore (Congressionally-supported) sanctions enacted that day (which they did a couple days later by not retaliating, to everyone's surprise at the time).

Flynn told FBI investigators what he told Pence (that he didn't discuss sanctions) and it appears he committed a felony. However, you can be sure that that little dweeb Sessions won't enforce this law either.

Another bald-faced lie in Trump's conference "I had the biggest electoral victory since Reagan." (It was actually the sixth biggest electoral victory since Reagan).

I try to see and understand this point of view, its just I dont see it? maybe all you 'press is jaded' guys have some proof? or maybe MSNBC cancels out FOX and visa-versa?

The Orange menace won't be changing none off this, he just wants to line his pockets some more...

So he made a mistake.

BFD.

It wasn't a lie any more than Obama's faux pas about having campaigned in 57 states. Shit happens.

You have it exactly backwards. Trump, Spicer, Miller, and Conway (all incorrigible liars) are analogous to the Ministry of Truth and the press is the group calling BS on all their lies.

Petty, vindictive, deranged and delusional is how I'd describe Trump's performance today.

Say what you will but a gag order is not a good idea, if you look at what YOUR boy is busy doing he is busy trying to discredit the press. you can also see that from space..

He's said it and has been corrected on it numerous times. Yet, he continues to say it, just like he repeated his fake inauguration claims.

That's exactly why Joad liked it. Birds of a feather ...
