I will continue to say it. Don't give a fuck about any bullshit excuses, don't care about any lines about being nicer to get people on the right side for 2018/2020: The people who abstained from voting and the people who voted for Trump should be fucking ashamed for enabling our government to fall so far. I mean goddamn

Leave the snowflakes spooked by emails they didn't know jack shit about alone, man.

 

[Mullah88]

Can you explain how this tweet is any less legitimate than the original story and worthy of a lol? I'm serious. She is claiming to have a source and so does WaPo. Let's not be so dismissive right away, let the facts come out either way. Hopefully, they are on our side and Trump is in a lot of trouble.

heh heh i have an ocean to sell you, hmu!

It contradicts several independently sourced and confirmed media reports.

 

[liquidtmd]

So who's talking to Reuters?

Fakey McFake Reuters. Full of fakes. Fakey McFake pants. Sad.

 

[UberTag]

In their position I would have been seriously questioning whether to give the US sensitive intel ever since Trump got elected.

Nobody in their right mind should be telling the U.S. shit until Trump is removed. Period.
They should be given the complete Wall of Silence treatment. If they get lonely they can go call the Kremlin.

 

[FyreWulff]

So then that means that the press got this news from inside Kremlin sources.

And that makes Trump look better HOW?

Laura is a radio talking mouthpiece for the Conservatives, not a journalist.

She literally wrote an entire book that's a fake Obama diary that amounts to a Republican fanfic.

 

[Imperfected]

They played Magic The Gathering? What deck does Trump use?

A five-color deck full of nothing but CMC 7+ gold creatures and way more copies of Censor, Circular Logic, Confound, and Deny Existence than are reasonable. He's got a couple of Propaganda copies in there, though, so it's not all durdly.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Nothing will happen.

They have no reason to care.

The entire opposition is protests which they don't care about.

Major websites like Reddit, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. enable these people so they can just use spam bots to shout "FAKE NEWS" and direct folks to "reputable" places.

Any change is going to come from those corporations taking a stand and putting "this might not be reputable" on the article isn't going to do anything.

In keeping with the tradition, what's the penalty for similar actions for someone further down the rung?

 

[Frustrated_me]

Fires FBI director for investigating him.

Meets Russian officials in the oval office, no USA press, only Russian.

Leaks sensitive information to the Russians.

... Tomorrow?

Just fucking imagine Obama did this.

 

[habithipster]

The inevitable movie about all this could be any genre really.

 

[MIMIC]

LOL, I was only barely paying attention (so I may have heard this wrong), but I think they said on CNN that Trump was bragging about the classified information that he is privy to, which is how the info was shared.

Fake edit: I hadn't read the Washington Post story in its entirety yet, but it's apparently how it actually happened:

It was during that meeting, officials said, that Trump went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft.

In his meeting with Lavrov, Trump seemed to be boasting about his inside knowledge of the looming threat. "I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day," the president said, according to an official with knowledge of the exchange.

LMAO this guy. Jesus

 

[ascii42]

Surprised he is still around to be honest. Seems to be the only one in this entire administration that is sane.

I don't think he has a choice.

 

[GK86]

How many days has Trump gone without a scandal or saying anything stupid? Anyone keeping track?

 

[brandonh83]

Fires FBI director for investigating him.

Leaks sensitive information to the Russians.

Interesting that the firing happened less than a week before this.

Or it's just all simply transparent as hell.

 

[KenzinFive]

So this won't be grounds for impeachment because it wasn't technically illegal.

But it could be grounds for calls for impeachment because Trump is a fucking idiot who doesn't realize that giving highly classified information to the Russians is 8 million shades of wrong, especially if it was intel gathered by an actual ally that didn't want it leaked out.

He's not some grand schemer. I bet you anything the Russians asked if he had anything they could discuss and he just pulled out classified info without realizing it. Meanwhile, the Russians are thinking "Holy shit, we didn't think it'd be that easy. We struck a goldmine."

 

[rec0ded1]

I thought a thread about Kislyak being in the oval office would reach E3 levels. Glad this is blowing up now.

The golf trips alone would have been calls for Obama's head.

The story doesn't actually require them to have a source at the actual meeting.

Per buzzfeed:

Two US officials who were briefed on Trump’s disclosures last week confirmed to BuzzFeed News the veracity of the Washington Post report, with one noting that “it’s far worse than what has already been reported.”

Basically US officials had to be briefed on what happened in the meeting, including that information. Those officials talked to WaPo.

Yes: 0

Quite the sequence of events.

 

[NYR]

So who's talking to Reuters?


Reuters has two sources of their own that confirm the WaPo story.

Thank you for the link and providing content to this thread, I do appreciate your post and responding to me fairly vs the trolls who simply quoted me with an lol.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Probably 1 at this point. They probably have one of these in one office in the West Wing.

He Flanderized himself.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

This is the angle Spicy and Trump are going with: FAKE. NEWS.

The only angle they know because their delusional stans eat it up and spit it back out like the parrots they are.

PizzaGate - I READ IT ON THE INTERNET, ITS TRUE!

Trump being a Russian nut hanger - FAKE NEWS!1!!

 

[NullPointer]

How many days has Trump gone without a scandal or saying anything stupid? Anyone keeping track?

Pretty sure its zero. Remember that Trump started his trash-on-fire Presidency with a Saturday press conference to shit on the press for trusting their own eyes regarding inauguration crowd sizes.

Thank you for the link and providing content to this thread, I do appreciate your post and responding to me fairly vs the trolls who simply quoted me with an lol.

Any time.

The story could have been wrong. But with independent confirmation and the non-denial-denials we've seen, this story now has wings.

 

[KHarvey16]

Being illegal is in no way a requirement for impeachment.

 

[Jasoneyu]

Seriously why have a secret no-press allowed meeting with the Russians right after firing the guy investigating your RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS. The optics with this is mind boggling.

SNL is redundant now.

 

[MIMIC]

Any bets on what he does next week?

 

[BrassDragon]

The administration is going to burn the credibility of McMaster to contain this, just as they damaged Rosenstein's in the Comey affair.
