Very interesting indeed! That was a speculation but it turns out to be true... Surely the Russians must be embarrassed by this as they have been denying the Flynn tip off all the time...

bush_cheney2004 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 House Leader Paul Ryan handled the press conference well this morning. Flynn was asked to resign after he lost the trust and confidence of President Trump....details to follow pending investigation(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/donald-trump-administration-michael-flynn/index.html Quote The White House struggled Tuesday to answer an avalanche of questions over national security adviser Michael Flynn's resignation. Flynn was asked to quit Monday after it became public that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about whether he had discussed US sanctions during pre-inauguration phone calls with the Kremlin's man in Washington, Sergey Kislyak. In new developments Tuesday, it emerged that President Donald Trump was told on January 26 -- more than two weeks ago -- that the Justice Department had concerns about Flynn's conduct. They're saying Flynn lost the trust of the president. So are we to believe that Flynn reached out to Russia on his own ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's response makes it clear that he's not mad at what Flynn did, he's mad that Flynn got caught. What does it tell you that Trump had not one word to say about Flynn, but raged about the media and the leaks? 2 hours ago, Michael Hardner said: They're saying Flynn lost the trust of the president.

eyeball Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 If this was happening in a post election Democratic White House administration I would expect the Republicans would be encouraging the 2nd Amendment folks to mobilize so the nation could be rescued from the treasonous traitors in power. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omni Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I nearly coughed up my coffee listening to Spicer today telling about how "tough Trump has been on Russia". Breitbart is getting some stiff competition on the fake news front it would seem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omni Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 While Kellyanne Conway may be garnering a few headlines and ought to be investigated by the ethics committee, she's basically a joke and I suspect harmless so American's ought not to focus too much on that, but Trump may/should be investigated under US code 2381."aid and comfort to US enemies". That's tantamount to treason. Ivanka selling a few more or less dresses isn't nearly as important I would say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goh Shenas Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I like Kellyanne. She is very honest and never lies when in front of the camera. Tge liberals and lefties should take note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubberMiley Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Last night Trump tweeted "Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia" and then complained about the FAKEness of the news. So just to be clear about how stupid this man actually is (and by extension, every single person who supported him), he tries to deny the veracity of the reports while confirming them. It's fun watching the supporters slowly drop off though. The TheDonald subreddit is in stunned silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Trump correctly tweeted that Russia took the Crimea on Obama's watch. Now that's what I call cooperating with Putin ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogOnPorch Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Either way, deploying a new generation of cruise missiles with nuclear capabilities is really stirring-up the hornet's nest. America has pretty much eliminated nuclear cruise missiles as they are a very iffy weapon. Only strategic bombers carry them now (the model 86). Even then, only on certain occasions...or by mistake! The reason why they are iffy should be obvious...but if not: you never know if you're under nuclear attack with cruise missiles. That is until one explodes...or crashes on an unintended target. Many cruise missiles have both nuclear and conventional warheads. So in a crisis situation...you might need to wait an hour or more to find out the truth. No such ambiguity exists with ICBMs. The last thing one wants when facing global nuclear annihilation is a bunch of question-marks before your forces react. And speaking of question-marks...the USA with all its safeguards DID transport nuclear armed ALCM-86s by MISTAKE...oooops. Now imagine the rest...who use lower safety standards re: nuclear weapons. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistakes happen even when every precaution is taken (Fukushima...for example). Certainty is essential for MAD to function. Nuclear weapons are only getting MORE easy to use.
