I'm pretty sure danglers is bemoaning that the deportations arnt effective and he'll get in again like he did the other times he was deported. Its really not that much to come to these broad conclusions guys.

I dunno,usa politics is weird these days.


Nah, any impeachment process works incredibly slowly (and this doesn't seem to be a huge watershed as far as initiating that process would go) and in the incredibly unlikely event of a Trump resignation Pence is just as, if not more, likely to pass a bill they want passed.


Given the fact that Flynn was communicating back and forth with the transition team while chatting with Russia, I can't help but wonder if Pence is properly insulated.

They don't need this tax bill to last either. If they can pass it and keep it through the 2018 elections then the big bipartisan part of it (tax holiday for offshore money) can get through and done. Ironically what you end up with is an even sweeter deal for corporations with money off shore.

They get to bring all their money back 0 strings attached, plus they can go back to stashing it for another sweeter holiday in the future then both parties can point at each other for screwing it up and the corps laugh all the way to the bank.

If they were women Russians he's probably safe

Sure, but why would you fix bad border security but not deporting illegal immigrants? That's like solving a leaky boat by keeping the water on the inside.

Personally I can’t say it’s my job I’m worried about. Recessions sting but they hurt the most vulnerable people the most. I don’t think I’m there at all. It’s more a problem for the country as a whole than personally.

But goddamn, don’t be such a drama queen about daily fluctuations in the Dow. It just hit 24k for the first time ever so a quick drop after months of rapid growth isn’t really a worry yet. Wait till something actually frightening happens rather than being a doomsayer all day.

No we would prefer if he couldn't come back

Sure, but those are two separate issues. If border security is bad then that's a reason to improve border security, not to keep illegal immigrants in the country.


Ok, keep in mind trump is gonna tap into the anger and frustration around this case for 2020 for his own personal gain. He's going to really abuse this girl's death to ignite his base and brand everyone who disagrees with him as "weak", to which the dems will fall into quite easily

Trump has already chosen to tap and inflame his voter base. I don't really see how deciding not to deport him would change anything. If anything choosing to not deport him would cause Trump and his followers to go crazy even more.

I think people are feeling like they got John Dean when they really got Scooter Libby, but maybe Republicans think there's going to be something in here deep enough to change constituents minds.

Danglars already showed he thought Trump lying his face off about a tax bill meant to help himself and his billionaire peers by taking advantage of less fortunate hard working Americans was acceptable. I doubt Trump talking to Russia through proxies is going to mean much.

So then we arrive at the same problem we had before this all started. Who are the 13+ Republican Senators that sac their job to impeach Trump?

2017, when anything is possible. Including Trump telling Flynn to contact the Russians.

Panic! ha ha. The ticker cant keep up.

Is it that bad if trump did direct him? it kinda is separate from Flynn lying about it. Maybe there where valid reasons for contacting the rusians?

Trump directing him is willful collusion rather then a dumb unwilling recipient.

Yes its a big deal.

Not only that they changed why Flynn was fired from lying to Pence.

Highly likely his testimony/evidence will also show Pence to be the liar we all know he is. I can't wait to see Trumps next tweets.

He wasnt saying anything about to deport or not deport he was making a point that deporting him was providing to be ineffective.
