The reason we've seen it 10 times is because there actually have already been a series of bombs.

You don't get to accuse the other side of crying wolf when each time they cried wolf there was an actual wolf attacking the flock. That's not how crying wolf works.

Yeah like that dossier right?

That was a real dossier given to McCain from a British intelligence officer. We have no way of verifying the contents ourselves yet but yes, the dossier really happened. Trump Jr., Flynn, Sessions, Kushner, Pence, Page, Manafort, and Stone represent a good collection of wolves too.

Yeah, except you left out the part that it was funded by the Clinton campaign (and the GOP before that) lol.

How does that change the fact that it exists and a number of things in it have been proven true?
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

January 24: Flynn lies to FBI
January 26: Yates warns White House
January 27: Trump calls Comey to the White House and asks him to let the Flynn matter go


Allow me to repeat that Trump called Comey to the White House and asked him for loyalty the same day George P lied to the FBI.

Not sure if you understand how private investigators work, but yes, generally they get paid by people wanting someone else investigated.

Except the dossier has been essentially confirmed to be mostly false. That's not investigation. Only you guys would be so blinded by partisanship that you can't see anything wrong with paying someone to make up a bunch of fake claims about your political enemies and release it to the public, and then call it an "investigation."

And then insist that you've actually been correctly crying wolf each time after that debacle.

"none of that stuff is real"

"what about this list of stuff that is real"

"yeah but what about the dossier"

"the dossier is also real"

"yeah, but Clinton"

And of course no comment on Trump Jr., Flynn, Sessions, Kushner, Pence, Page, Manafort, and Stone.

Parts of the dossier being Russian fed counter intelligence doesn't invalidate the rest of it.

Okay, cool then, so everyone complaining about the failure to mark the funds for "opposition research" need to change their tune, since it was just commissioning a fiction novella. Maybe ask for a libel suit instead.

It’s pretty funny that you called other people “blindly partisan” immediately after claiming that the dossier has been “confirmed to be mostly false.” Even though the dossier has not been confirmed either way.

You've been duped by whatever fake news you have been getting your information from. There is hope for you though. You can change your information sources and become more well informed.

apparently Flake is on board for the tax hike. he allegedly agreed if there were provisions for permanent protections to DACA recipients.

seems like the GOP can’t say one thing without going back on it. and yet people vote for them. Get Flake to be a hypocrite by folding on your immigration promises. good stuff. well done.

at least Flake got something done at the low cost of his integrity. not the worst way to go out.

My bad, didn't know I was expected to bring up an itemized list of thirty presumptions of "This is the end for Trump this time!" only to be followed up by business as usual the next week. I figured you could put two and two together yourself. I'm at work, I'm not about to write you a novel.

No one here is thinking Trump is done 'this week' or month.
Its a long road ahead but Flynn providing the investigation with evidence is a big big step forward.

No one has ever said Trump will be gone next week. You're creating an extremely silly strawman. People have celebrated the walls closing in because there has been significant progress. Keep in mind Flynn was attending top level national security meetings earlier this year. You're acting as if nothing major has taken place.

I can put two and two together. These were real bombs that landed. Hell, some of them have already plead guilty. You can't insist that it's crying wolf when we've caught the wolves.

Just because the Republicans are spineless and the US political system is outdated and terrible compared to the majority of other Western capitalist nations when it comes to disposing a leader and getting legislation through doesn’t mean the dossier is fanfiction written by Chelsea Clinton at age 15.
