trump wrecked nunes
Less than a year ago, Westlands and the ag boys of California water had themselves a perfectly good Congressman.
Nunes was able and willing to carry whatever legislation they could develop to advance their water preferences. But then Nunes found an even bigger authoritarian he could toady for, and Westlands lost their whole investment in Nunes.
Nunes was well-trained and well-placed; he could have done them a lot of good if Trump hadn’t turned his head.
Now poor Nunes is embarrassed, under investigation and won’t talk to the Fresno Bee.
If I were a big ag donor in the San Joaquin Valley, I’d be mad at Nunes for leaving his lane and floundering about. Now they’re going to have to buy another one, train him up and install him. What a waste of their time and money.

Just for the first visit, Cosmic. After that, it's $600/5 minutes.
But I've been retired for 10 years, so I don't get the fun of fleecing poor people anymore......
Seriously, I think my average office visit was about $50, and lasted 15-25 minutes, depending.
But, oh, you were just trying to insult me. Ah well.

rats jumping ship you say?
exhibit a... from the "lady" who wrote a book titled in trump we trust [for those not familiar, a one, anne coulter]:
Yeah, I mean, my fingers are still crossed. It’s not like I’m out yet, but boy, things don’t look good. I’ve said to other people, it’s as if we’re in Chicago and Trump tells us he’s going to get us to LA in six days. But for the first three days we are driving towards New York. Yes, it is true he can still turn around and get us to LA in three days, but I’m a little nervous. ...
If we just keep going to New York. Well again, I’ll say we had no choice, but the Trump-haters were right…It’s a nightmare. I can’t even contemplate that. Right now I’m still rooting for him to turn around and take us toward LA. ...
I’ll let him speak for himself, but I think all of the Trump true believers are petrified.
exhibit b... from the republican senate foreign relations committee chairman [a one, bob corker]:
The White House has got to do something soon to bring itself under control and in order, It's got to happen. Obviously they're in a downward spiral right now and they've got to figure out a way to come to grips [with] all that's happening.
exhibit c... a republican arizona senator, a one, jeff [the aptly named] flake:
I've spent the last several hours trying to find an acceptable rationale for the timing of Comey's firing. I just can't do it.
while it certainly isn't all of the rats just yet, there are some significant ones with one leg off the ship, just in case...
about four months ago i said, i'd bet trump would be gone [assassinated, resigned or impeached] by, i think it was, july of 2018...
at the rate trump's penchant for making enemies and leaving a trail of smoke and fire for said enemies to string him up with, is currently developing...
i'll be shocked if he is still in power at the end of this summer.

All anonymous source BS from 'Dr'Krankl00n Ken. Zero proof as usual. Besides, it's all over the 'newz'. Why post this garbage? At the very least, cite your BS posts.
Fawk man....let this thread die. Get a life!!!
Gee....I wouldn't call DONALD TRUMP anonymous....
Trump acknowledges ‘facts’ were shared with Russian envoys
Trump's tweets undercut his administration's frantic effort Monday night to contain the damaging report. The White House trotted out three senior administration officials to deny the very reports Trump openly confirmed less than 24 hours later.

This is why Trump’s loose tongue has compromised U.S. security
According to the rules of the intelligence game, in order to share this particular piece of classified information, the United States would have needed permission from the country that collected it. This information was not America's to share.
By Stephen Tankel
“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”***

Ken loves his daily brainwashing from the Washington Post and continually rehashing it here.
They tell him exactly how to think.
He believes all their daily bullsh!t without ever doing any serious deep research.
Nope no research at all, god knows how he even ever diagnosed his patients using such a formula.
Do not respond to this post you'll only further waste your time .....

Trump claims ‘absolute right’ to share info with Russia
So he admits it. Undercut his staff, again.
The news reverberated around the world as countries started second-guessing their own intelligence-sharing agreements with the U.S.
A senior European intelligence official told the AP his country might stop sharing information with the United States if it confirms that Trump shared classified details with Russian officials. Such sharing “could be a risk for our sources,” the official said.
Trump later was informed that he had broken protocol and White House officials placed calls to the National Security Agency and the CIA looking to minimize any damage.
The U.S. official said that Trump boasted about his access to classified intelligence in last week’s meeting with Lavrov and Kislyak. An excerpt from an official transcript of the meeting reveals that Trump told them, “I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,” he said.

Ken M just appears to have a higher tolerance to continue caring in the midst of ongoing painful revelations, whereas most people are worn down and choose to ignore it or build a layer of personal insulation to not feel hurt by the various setbacks in the advancement of civilization.
Some people think they would be happy about being back in the good old days of true freedom, and what they don't realize, is that total freedom screws just about everybody except the strongest few.

Yes, he cares.
But when your sources are full of sh!t then your cares become ultimately useless.
But most of you just plain toe the line of the clueless bullsh!t mainstream media ......

Emoluments clause is a pretty big issue of government integrity, and our national policy clarity and enforcement of this issue should be front and center. It should be flat out illegal and a legal bar from holding office if any public office holder has financial interests not disclosed to the public. Pete Rose was banned from baseball for life, and lost his spot in the Hall of Fame, for similar transgressions (betting which is essentially a creation of a financial interest which may be at odds with the performance of one's duties), but this had no practical impact on the life of anyone. In the case of our politicians, the transgressions can potentially impact every single one of us in a long term way. Here is a pretty awesome public statement of protest.

“I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day”
That's hilarious, but mega sad,sad,sad. Now we find out Trump is sharing Israeli sourced intel with the Russians.

And, apparently, he several times asked Comey to stop the investigation of Flynn's activities during the Trump campaign, which seems pretty clear obstruction of Justice.
Pretty much what Watergate was about, It took two years for Watergate to build to this level of frenzy.
