One of the Trump administration’s first decisions about the fight against the Islamic State was made by Michael Flynn weeks before he was fired – and it conformed to the wishes of Turkey, whose interests, unbeknownst to anyone in Washington, he’d been paid more than $500,000 to represent.

The decision came 10 days before Donald Trump had been sworn in as president, in a conversation with President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, who had explained the Pentagon’s plan to retake the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa with Syrian Kurdish forces whom the Pentagon considered the U.S.’s most effective military partners. Obama’s national security team had decided to ask for Trump’s sign-off, since the plan would all but certainly be executed after Trump had become president.

Flynn didn’t hesitate. According to timelines distributed by members of Congress in the weeks since, Flynn told Rice to hold off, a move that would delay the military operation for months.

Sounds suspiciously like… uh what’s that word. Hrm. Damn what is it?

Oh right: treason.

Can we all at least agree to be outraged that foreign thugs attacked American citizens on our own soil yesterday?

DOJ has appointed a Special Counsel in the Russia probe.

Wow, nice pick. It will be tough to criticize him as a torch-wielding liberal. Not that it won’t happen anyway. DOJ Special Counsel is still a little hamstrung, but it’s the best we can hope for in this political climate.

I think so. He still answers to the AG, but it could be worse.

There are so many final nails in the Trump coffin in the last two days that the whole thing is basically nails at this point. Hopefully it’ll sink to the black depths of history where it belongs.

Good. Maybe the Republicans will all stop being massive P U 5 5 Y S and take their party and their dignity back from this sham of a Presidency.

One could argue that legalizing gay marriage and marijuana are conservative standpoints as that means less government limitations on your personal life.

I’ve wondered about that myself. Unfortunately, for some (possibly arbitrary) reason, the Republican party seems to be intertwined with Christianity. I say arbitrary because I have many conservative friends for whom their one gripe with the Republican party is its immersion in religion.

I’ve often wondered what the U.S. would look like if it happened to be the liberals that were embroiled in Christianity.

I prefer to imagine a US with actual separation of church and state.

Hopefully not the glass I’m currently drinking.

I’m eating a donut right now and you can all just take a flying leap.

Weird. I read that post, too.

Sorry, but hey it bears repeating.

Thank god we don’t have Hillary and her emails in there, though! Dang!

So this is a thing.

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.

The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

I don’t even think he’s malicious about it. He’s just a moron who wants to lord things over people.

I’m guessing the number of his supporters that go ballistic and chant “lock him up!” over his mishandling of classified information will be exactly zero.

I hate you guys.

I wouldn’t call it accidental, given that I decided in HS. It’s not like I won a contest or something.

Jesus Christ man just the way the post was worded was funny do you want to fight me tonight or something dude because I don’t really want to fight.

I’m not the one who ate a donut after we agreed not to.

There was no agreement!

Why don’t you eat a donut, old man?

Sometimes I feel like I’m too attractive.

I think he was rooting for WE to take the semi-finalist position in the League of Legends qualifiers happening right now.

He’ll be glad to know that they smashed SKT earlier today, who won the championship last year, so they’re looking like a big mover this year.

Why can’t life come with a reset button? Or at least save states?

I prefer hardcore mode because we can’t just savescum our way to victory and instead have to learn to let go of our failures, learn from them, and use those lessons to advance the story.

TV’s Frink said:

What, that I’m old?

Yes but moreso that the idea that you accidentally became an engineer tickled me.

My university college was Engineering. Engineers are cool.

A hamburger. No bun. Swiss cheese.

I don’t miss the buns, honestly. They get in the way of the food.

TV’s Frink said:

I was really into math in high school and I also took a drafting class with a really great teacher, so I decided to become an Engineer. I’ve been doing it for 22 years now (gulp).

lol

Fuck you.

I’m sorry.

But not really.

Oh, don’t read the other thread then. <_<

Several donuts.

I did it mom. I made it to the top.

Don’t go there. Louise Mensch is to Bernie fans as Zerohedge is to Trump fans. Storylines their audience wants to believe so much they ignore the shoddy “journalism”. It’s speculative fiction at best. And if one of her “scoops” turns out by sheer coincidence to be true, she’ll be vindicated–rather than just having proved the stopped clock twice a day metaphor.

It’d be nice to think the right had a monopoly on this sort of thing, but they don’t. We have our share of cranks on the left too, they’re just not as well-funded.

Exactly.
