Should probably just cut off the silly "so much for the tolerant left" nonsense https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

this seems to publicly confirm that the intel definitely came from Israel?

QUOTE (bmags @ May 17, 2017 -> 09:00 AM) Let's just let this end it: That fox (local fox) story was ridiculous hearsay from the start, interviewing this "former law officer" who said he may have heard from someone who heard from an officer that they found emails from wikileaks on his laptop. Except that police dept didn't have the laptop. He is not a PI hired by the family. And he heard about it from the TV. His family has now sent a cease and desist letter https://t.co/kb7X230frS

In the same meeting that Trump blabbed info to Russia that likely got Israel's best ISIS Mossad agent killed, he also openly admitted that he was obstructing justice. This is the moment he truly became President.

Trump-Russia probe now includes possible cover-up, Congress is told

Trump's nominee for #2 at Treasury just bowed out citing "family reasons." Trump still has 452 Executive Branch positions with no nominee named. Who would want to attach themselves to this dumpster fire at this point?

Israeli Intelligence Furious Over Trump’s Loose Lips As the U.S. president heads to Israel for a show of unity, the country’s spies are alarmed at his disclosures to the Russians. Quick, someone fund a big "Miss Me Yet?" billboard with Obama in Tel Aviv.

The NYT Russian FM story is a straight-up admission of obstruction of justice, yeah?

The self-destructive behavior is unmatched. The investigation itself is become much more real than I thought. I can't stand this white house. We are seeing the natural endpoint of dominance politics and guess what, the "i'm going to win" is not applying one iota to the country itself, it is always and will always be about Trump.

You're right, I was just curious and didn't see it discussed in the article. I remember all of those 2009-2013 or so stories about the increasing SSDI numbers indicating the 'structurally unemployed,' too.

Long and interesting read on Comey and Mueller What Donald Trump Needs to Know About Bob Mueller and Jim Comey The two men who could bring down the president have been preparing their entire lives for this momen

The employment numbers may be there, but how do the wages compare to the previously lost jobs?

This nyt story about Comey literally trying to blend into the curtains so Trump doesn't notice is great. I mean it's mainly about how Comey was troubled by Trump deeply from day one, and reince is dirty too for asking Comey to lie about Flynn, but that part is hilarious. There's even video of it!
