    Hey, you break the law like that, you deserve to get sacked and prosecuted. It's good that they acted on this and got him out if he was truly guilty.

    scary that we have these many scandals in less than a month. Only someone naive would believe there isn't an element trump was involved with. Interesting times...

    @ipaman, your thoughts?

    But seriously, I'm shocked Flynn is gone this quickly. Jebus H. Where is this headed?

    In the original post I started this thread with, I included General Colin Powell's comments about Flynn getting the heave ho as Director of Defense Intelligence:

    They had him on tape and they had it a while ago. This is going to play out exactly like Watergate. Both break ins of the DNC a few months before the election. They start at the bottom and the path to the top trickles in.

    He thought he was a bad hombre and he jumped the gun and "lied" about it to his bosses. He didn't do anything illegal but definitely ill advised with the current liberal media attention to bring down anything Trump related. He let himself and Trump down by lying and not predicting the media scrutiny ahead and giving them nothing to turn into something. Like Bengazhi or any other fake "scandals," this is absolutely not a big deal but it's being blown way out of proportion by the media. The media focused on his conversations with Russia while the Administration focused on his lying and rightfully so. As a government official you can lie to almost anyone but not the POTUS and VP and that's entirely on him. He's a fake bad hombre.

    What? I thought ipaman clearly stated that he isn't a Trump supporter. He should take this well. He stated how he's an objective arbiter so I'm sure he'll finally admit to the corruption that us libtards were screaming about the past month. I mean he's a objective arbiter and not a Trump nut hugger right?


    Lol... And of course ipaman euphemizes a key advisor of a presidential administration possibly violating the Logan act with a suspecions action that completely lines up with past allegations of Russian puppetering. Ipaman, you ain't going to mention how this kinda now cooberates part of that dossier that Trump acolytes yelled as 'fake news' such as yourself?

    Russia is mad that they have lost an insider and all is not well.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-lawmakers-mount-fierce-defense-flynn-074229960.html

    Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the foreign affairs committee at the upper chamber of the Russian parliament, said in a post on Facebook that firing a national security adviser for his contacts with Russia is "not just paranoia but something even worse."

    Kosachev also expressed frustration with the Trump administration.

    "Either Trump hasn't found the necessary independence and he's been driven into a corner... or Russophobia has permeated the new administration from top to bottom."

    Why isn't congress screaming about all these leaks, about inappropriate connections to Russia, and how incompetent Trump has been thus far.

    Russia is laughing at us. The world is laughing at us.

    The sooner Pence is in, the sooner we can get an extreme right government. Goodbye gay rights and abortion rights. And a repeal of Obamacare with nothing to replace. Lets continue to double down on the insanity.

    For the sake of national security I would rather have a social conservative who has nuanced understanding of govenment and is willing to read multiple page memos over a president who desires all breifings and policy papers to be expressed in a single page paper with pictures and 'maps'.

    Trump is grossly under-qualified at a unprecedented level and it's a ****ing detriment to national security.

    You know how socially liberal I am. I thought the same way:"God, impeachment of Trump could mean Pence" but now?

    I would rather have Pence. I'll feel slightly more secure about this nation.


    This is our president. He likes pictures. He likes 'maps'. God save us all and I'm an atheist.
