    Surprise surprise. Not.

    I've said it all along this man is a traitor and anyone who still stands behind him is not a patriot.

    The fact that a Republican Congress goes after Democrats for emails and other manufactured scandals from nothing, but don't want to go after a president who had contact with the Russians before an election they were trying to influence just goes to show you everything that is wrong with politics.

    There are still too many things that needs proof before this administration collapse, with Republican in charge of both the house and senate, I am not putting any money on this happening during the next four years.

    Same here. Even if a video of Trump with Russian hookers dropped, we'd still see Trump as POTUS because the GOP controlled congress just does not care.

    To recap:

    Paul Manafort, a former paid lobbyist on behalf of the pro-Russian Yanukovich government in Ukraine, is forced to resign from the Trump campaign; Carter Page, an oil executive, resigns as a national security adviser from the Trump campaign after allegations of negotiating the lifting of sanctions on Russia and being placed under surveillance by US intelligence; the only position of the GOP platform the Trump campaign requested to change at the convention was about weakening aid to Ukraine; Michael Flynn, a three-star general and RT contributor, resigns as NSA after it's revealed that he spoke to the Russian ambassador about lifting sanctions placed on them for interfering in our election. But we're supposed to believe these guys are all operating independently and Trump doesn't know anything about their actions just like Nixon didn't know about some plumbers at the Watergate Hotel.

    I just can't believe that the same people who hurled the word "commie" (as recently as 2016 against Bernie Sanders) as an epithet are now aligning themselves with Vladimir Putin. Their craven desire to be "right" all of the time will be their downfall.

    tl;dr, for the Trumpcicles: Moscow showers erode American powers. Sad!

    I can't believe he used this as a defense for the unfolding Russia conspiracy. Not even a bad high school student would try that one. If he blames global warming, I'll be done with the internet for good.

    Hopefully Trump spends more time attacking the media than he does enacting any substantive policies. As of late this has been the case.

    Here's a guy who sounds like he's about to break:

    Somebody offer him a plea deal, and watch him spill the beans.

    I hope that he can limp along to his SOTU address--that will be must-see-TV: who will shout "you lie!" and how will Trump react without twitter to go to in real time??

    Wo. That's a flurry this morning.

    Trump may just become completely unstable if Twitter shutdown and he can't voice his inner thoughts.

    Why can't he tweet while giving a SOTU address? He just has to say "one second... [type type type] ... okay, take that! ... where was I?" It would be AWESOME and help complete our descent into a complete tin-pot failed former democracy.
