    The fact that sort of thing is driving so much of our politics is worse than anything Russia could have done to us.
    you said it best / "unholy alliance".

    The Deep State and Congressional war hawks drive the agenda by wielding the Russiaphobia boogeyman.

    The best one though is the DNC colluding with Russians via an intermediary and then accusing Trump of colluding with Russians lol.

    Let’s see you top that one.

    do you think Mueller is looking at THAT Russian collusion?? of course not.
    He'll roam 10 years back into business deals, but he won't take up the obvious collusion to hire a foreign agent.

    Jeff Sessions reminds me of a sleepy dog.

    “EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT”: TRUMP’S WEST WING RACES TO CONTAIN MUELLER FALLOUT
    The Trump-Russia “witch hunt” becomes suddenly, terrifyingly real.

    When Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the truculent White House Press secretary, was asked how Donald Trump had taken the news that three former campaign advisers had been charged in the special counsel’s Russia investigation, her reply was brusque. “He responded the same way the rest of us in the White House have—that is, without a lot of reaction, because it doesn’t have anything to do with us.”

    Those who have spoken to sources inside the West Wing, however, paint a different picture: of a president fuming over the indictments and consumed by cable news coverage, oscillating furiously between “media critic, legal analyst, and crisis communications strategist,” as The Washington Post reports.

    Although the White House had been anticipating charges in Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt” for months, news that one former adviser, George Papadopoulos, had pleaded guilty, and begun working with the F.B.I., exploded like a bomb. Rising before dawn and gluing himself to his television, Trump at first felt vindicated by the charges against Paul Manafort and Richard Gates, which were seemingly unconnected to Russia. “NO COLLUSION!” he tweeted triumphantly, after he spoke with his lawyers. Others were reportedly relieved that the first batch of indictments did not include Trump’s former national security advisor, Michael Flynn. (Manafort and Gates have pleaded not guilty.)

    But the president’s mood darkened after hearing that Papadopoulos had, apparently, turned state’s witness. “The walls are closing in,” one senior Republican in close contact with top staffers told the Post, echoing other sources who described Trump as angry and agitated. “Everyone is freaking out.” The New York Times reported that White House aides were “stunned and alarmed.”

    Other West Wing sources were more sanguine. There wasn’t “as much of a freakout as you might think,” one official told Politico. While Trump was fixated on the Russia investigation all day, he is said to have been reassured by his lawyers that Mueller won’t threaten him personally, even if he indicts former Trump associates, and will ultimately clear the president’s name. His legal team has urged the investigation to proceed swiftly so that it can be concluded by the end of the year.

    Papadopoulos’s guilty plea, and subsequent cooperation with the F.B.I., could upend that timetable—as could the arrests of Manafort and Gates. The overriding assumption is that Mueller believes that the pair have information relating to Trump, which he intends to leverage. As legal experts have told Vanity Fair, the special prosecutor appears to be following a classic anti-mafia playbook: begin by targeting lower-level staffers, then work your way up, using compromising information or legal threats to compel testimony against their higher-ups. Gates, apparently, is a point of particular concern. Possibly facing years in jail, he has a young family, and continued to be involved with the Trump administration after the president was sworn in.

    As the fractious situation unfolded, and immediately choked the media cycle, there was widespread frustration among the G.O.P. Yet again, Russia had dominated the start of carefully planned week of policy news, in which Republicans are preparing to unveil their tax overhaul bill and Trump is set to depart on a pivotal, 12-day trip across Asia. It’s not the first time that Trump has flown overseas under a cloud of scandal. The day before he embarked upon his first presidential foreign trip in May, the Justice Department appointed Mueller as special counsel.

    Maybe somewhere in that alternate universe that Trumpy's exist in, he's a great president.

    In the really real world that everyone else exists in, he's a fucking disaster on every level.

    Thank you
    I may just have to make a thread, regarding this, just so the JPP liberals can run away again.

    I’m ok with Trump Tweeting his message. In fact, it’s practically a necessity given the current state of the media.

    He allows himself to get sucked into stupid stuff. He should have just allowed the father to be an ungrateful asshole. But Trump engages him. It’s pointless and stupid.

    Tweeting is inconsequential, but politically self-damaging. People pay attention to the distractive shiny objects
