So Rosenstein told senators he knew the day before that letter was written Comey would be fired. Trump has contradicted himself many times on this subject already.

Nothing is easier or more pathetic than being a critic-Trump during his commencement speech. That is comedy gold coming from him. Reality doesn't exist in his world.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 18, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) Meanwhile: Sen. Lindsey Graham: Congress should abandon Russia investigation, go back to Clinton’s emails It's good to know elected officials know exactly what to spend their time on. How do people re-elect these idiots?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 18, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) Regardless of how all of this plays out for Trump, it's revealed some pretty significant flaws in our system. We have no good system for removing someone who's actually guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and cannot carry out the functions of their office as well as anyone else that may be implicated. There really should be provisions for special elections in this case. If, hypothetically, Trump were to be impeached for his campaign colluding with Russia, it's absurd that we'd end up with a President Pence or Ryan. If Trump resigned, would Ivanka and President Jared stay on?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 18, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) I remember 16 hours ago when the WH message as how Not Mad he was about the special counsel It's the second or third time in a week his tweets (where he first b****ed about this) totally contradicted the official WH message. Electoral College is totally slanted to the Democrats. So we have his excuse if he lost. Of course, he was within 3 million of winning the popular vote. But this does expose a divided country. Who knew? Everybody was on board with Trump.

The authorities must think the car ramming the people in Times Square is a terrorist action. Our company has an office right around there, and they can't leave the building and were told to stay away from the windows. Edit, now I read it was just a guy with a history of DWI. Nevermind.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-cam...-101950531.html How will the Supreme Leader explain this? Maybe they were just joking around.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 18, 2017 -> 10:04 AM) As investigators circled Flynn, he got a message from Trump: Stay strong Trump is on record as saying Flynn did nothing wrong.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 18, 2017 -> 09:20 AM) The secret plan was to ask the generals to make a plan. They did, and it's been sitting on his desk for months. He said he knows more than the generals. Now he knows all about health care. Even though he may seem to have heath insurance and life insurance mixed up, you get a job when you are 20 and pay $15 a month for the rest of your life. Its so easy. Believe me.

What would be funny would be what Trump would be tweeting if he lost the election and this stuff was going on with Hillary. I'm pretty sure he would have a different view. He still wouldn't know what he is doing but IMO, hitching his horse to Bannon is the reason he is in deep s***. I think it has exposed Trump even more. The guy knows nothing about issues, the only things he will read is about himself, and apparently he is easily manipulated. Just keep praising him, you'll eventually get what you want. I'm still waiting for him to easily destroy ISIS. What ever happened to his secret plan?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 17, 2017 -> 05:44 PM) Never happened, never would happen, ridiculous. But, but, but, we have a recording. Oh that. Yeah, he was just joking.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ May 17, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) Just in here to comment again on how awful the playoffs have been. I don't even regularly look at scores anymore or know who's playing, all I know is GS vs. CLE in finals with GS likely winning. Which... we could have predicted months and months ago. BOOOOORRRRRRING I think lower than a 3rd seed has won the NBA championship 2 times ever.

Today is Carlos May's birthday. He is the only player to ever have his birthday on the back of his uniform. May 17.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 17, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) I guess if you have the money you can totally rent out a second place for storage. Yeah, but I think if you have a second place just for shoes, you have to be a douchebag, even if you're a nice guy. TBH, I have heard only good things about LaTroy Hawkins the person.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 17, 2017 -> 10:46 AM) "Joke" seems pretty unlikely since he asked everyone else to leave the room before making this "joke" Yeah, he had Pence and Sessions leave the room to joke with Comey about getting the investigation off Flynn. The real jokes are the people who come up with these excuses.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ May 17, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) We are experts on hindsight and complaining here The scary part is all of the posters who apparently think they know more about prospects than the White Sox, yet want the White Sox to go into a total rebuild.

When LaTroy was with the Cubs, he lived in a building right where LaSalle and Clark meet on the south end of Lincoln Park. My friend lived on the same floor, and LaTroy had 2 apartments. One was just filled with shoes.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 17, 2017 -> 09:44 AM) Eh, I don't agree with this. Sox aren't only in the business of peddling garbage. They gave up a potentially good player in Tatis, who at his age had high variability of success or failure. Same with Allen. They didn't know ALlen would fail. They don't know Tatis isn't that special. They traded potential with very high uncertainty for certain production. Happens all the time. But this trade, they just happened to bring on a pitcher with a lot of warning signs, that gave them some of the worst production in the game, and lost a potential long-term piece. Sucks. Don't ever do it again hahn. Don't see many amateur scouts complaining about Tatis Jr. before the trade, or when it was made. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...9431&st=400

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 17, 2017 -> 08:03 AM) If you get enough Brandon Allens you'll get an all star, which is the point of trades in a rebuild. You need 2/3 prospects per position. It would be gold if the Sox could trade a middle reliever with the credentials of Tony Pena (ERA above 4; WHIP above 1.5) for a prospect with the credentials of Brandon Allen. But the Sox can't trade with themselves. Not surprisingly, Pena pitched as badly for the Sox as he did for Arizona. No one knows what Tatis will become, just like no one knew what Allen would become. But with the Sox scrambling to load up with top prospects, giving one away (and apparently not realizing what you gave away) is just galling. The White Sox apparently knew what they were giving away in Brandon Allen. .203/.290/..375 12 homers 35.2% k rate. Star. I suspect they know what they gave away in Tatis. It's guys like you who don't. Forgive me if I do not respect your scouting skills. I noticed you don't whine about the Kahnle trade much anymore.

Putin offering Congress their notes on the meeting. How nice. I guess it will score him points with Trump, and probably the only reason why he bothered. Trump will think he is his buddy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 16, 2017 -> 05:06 PM) it's probably all fake news anyway. That's probably why the Senate Intelligence Chairman is outsourcing oversight to the media. For some reason, if it was Hillary, I believe Burr would not say the same thing.

Obstruction of justice is wrong. Who knew?

Is Charlie Tilson still alive?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 16, 2017 -> 03:00 PM) Israeli Official: Trump Sharing Intelligence With Russia Is "Worst Fears Confirmed" The Russians may use this information not totally in the US or Israel's favor? Just like health care being difficult, and BS'ing your way around a Muslin ban, and China now not being currency malipulators, and not building a wall when you say go, and not having who knew? Russia is our friend. They tell Trump how great he is. He hands over the keys to the store. For the love of God GOP, wake the f*** up and get rid of this guy ASAP.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 16, 2017 -> 07:15 AM) Not sure I agree with this. He can't keep going to the bullpen in the 5th inning 2/5 in the rotation. He tried to save the bullpen some as well i think. Those were his words,not mine. I agree, you have to get more than what he is getting innings wise out of Pelfrey and Covey. But the signs were there it was coming apart, and it is amazing how bad he's been the 3rd time around. Guys don't hit that well in batting practice.
