Like Jon said he never backs up those stances. If you want a Republican that does Sasse is probably the only one I can say does.Maybe Paul to an extent. But the point is those like McCain and Graham always fall in line when push comes to shove.McCain has a history of standing up to people.
That was mainly an allusion to his POW days.Like Jon said he never backs up those stances. If you want a Republican that does Sasse is probably the only one I can say does.Maybe Paul to an extent. But the point is those like McCain and Graham always fall in line when push comes to shove.
sasse has been fairly quiet recently. i figured paul would be going ballistic about the asset seizure nonsense that the keebler elf has enacted.Like Jon said he never backs up those stances.

Washington (CNN)For President Donald Trump, loyalty in Washington is a one-way street.
Trump's trashing of several of his administration's top justice officials in an interview with The New York Times on Wednesday, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is causing deep alarm inside the West Wing, leading some to worry that their loyalty to Trump might not be reciprocated from the man in the Oval Office.
There's also a general sense of bewilderment as to why Trump gave the interview. Health care was the focus of the day. He actually got engaged -- but then this.
"It's chilling," one White House official said.
rubes. i saw a couple of articles where there are a few of the folks (caputo (?) and flynn) who are getting overwhelmed with all of their legal fees. i guess they thought donny would foot the bill.So just how incredibly stupid are these people in the West Wing?

it's been clear to me for decades that Trump only gives a damn about Trump and his non Tiffany Kids. These people are now "chilled" by his comments on Sessions?

Caputo claimed that he had to cash out his kids college funds. I feel bad for the kids if true. They can't help who their Dad works forrubes. i saw a couple of articles where there are a few of the folks (caputo (?) and flynn) who are getting overwhelmed with all of their legal fees. i guess they thought donny would foot the bill.

There are many articles that exist detailing lies and misleading claims made by the Trump administration. This article is intended as a neutral, reliable analysis of the lies, false allegations and misleading claims made about and against Donald Trump since his inauguration in January 2017. We’ve attempted to strip away the hyperbole, name-calling and generalizations, and examine the patterns and trends at work: what characterizes these lies and exaggerations, the effect they have, what might explain them.
3. And finally, Trump is inquiring whether he has the ability to pardon himself and his family:President Trump’s lawyers and aides are scouring the professional and political backgrounds of investigators hired by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, looking for conflicts of interest they could use to discredit the investigation — or even build a case to fire Mr. Mueller or get some members of his team recused, according to three people with knowledge of the research effort.
Some of President Trump’s lawyers are exploring ways to limit or undercut special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation, building a case against what they allege are his conflicts of interest and discussing the president’s authority to grant pardons, according to people familiar with the effort.
Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the probe, according to one of those people. A second person said Trump’s lawyers have been discussing the president’s pardoning powers among themselves.
I think it's pretty clear he will. There's no reason to build a case to publicly discredit Mueller unless you intend to fire him.Well, I always thought that electing him would lead to a constitutional crisis. Looks like he's determined to make sure that comes true. In a way, I hope he tries it. That might be one of the few ways to wake Congress up to what they have on their hands...
remember, everything you have been told is a lie1. The spokesman for Trump's legal team just resigned, reportedly over his reluctance to publicly discredit Mueller. (link)
2. The NYT just reported on this new strategy by the Trump legal team, which may be used to retroactively justify firing Mueller:

3. And finally, Trump is inquiring whether he has the ability to pardon himself and his family:
Trump team seeks to control, block Mueller’s Russia investigation
i don't really see that happening. team gop is all in.Well, I always thought that electing him would lead to a constitutional crisis. Looks like he's determined to make sure that comes true. In a way, I hope he tries it. That might be one of the few ways to wake Congress up to what they have on their hands...
AND - you're scared to death of what he'll find...I think it's pretty clear he will. There's no reason to build a case to publicly discredit Mueller unless you intend to fire him.
President Trump's lawyers are looking into the president's authority to grant pardons in connection with the special counsel investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Trump himself has talked to advisers about his ability to pardon his aides, family members and himself in the investigations, according to the Post, though one adviser cautioned that the president's inquiries were made in curiosity, rather than in connection to the Russia probes.
fake news. this is just a partisan witchhunt.Well, Russia is trolling us again. The subtext is that Lavrov is letting Trump know they still have politically compromising information on him. Putin must really want his spy compounds back and those sanctions lifted.
