Flynn is Out

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.fe324411dcd5

It's usually in the third or fourth year of a president's term that we see these kinds of scandals and resignations. It's day 25 of der Gropenfurher's reign.

Flynn could be vulnerable to Russian blackmail?

So can Emperor Orangus the Greedy................

Investigative organizations may be now emboldened and dig deeper and Trump cannot bully them on this, or at least one hopes.

Indeed. Time for a deep dig into President Bannon, der Trumpenfuhrer and the rest of the Russian stooges in the White House. Meanwhile, Russian politicians are defending their boy Flynn.

About time.

As usual, it is the lying about it that gets you.

But, Obama reaching out to one of the bigger murderous regimes in our lifetime was great. Actually I agreed with him on Cuba. But, Trump trying to improve ties with Russia is awful.

Trying to improve ties with Russia is one thing. Having a bunch of Russian stooges in the White House is quite another, particularly in light of the fact that Russia made deliberate efforts to put Trump there. Your attempt at equivalence is as silly as it is ridiculous.

As in it doesn't really make a shit whether we have good relations with Cuba.

But, good relations with Russia could.

So, you are right, they are not equivalent.

Don't count on Ryan, Turtleman or Chaffetz do do any investigating, it appears that all the GOPers in Congress lost their backbones.

Donald ordered the call, if not Flynn would of been out long ago. The best argument for this is, let's just say Flynn acted alone, Donald would send him packing as soon as it became evident. The Donald has to be in control! Also if it took him this long to figure it out then what does that say?

Just the beginning of the purge. The water is red with blood, the sharks are out!
