deal. Looks like lil Beauregard forgot to list another meeting with the Russians too. It's always the cover up, you don't lose a clearance for a DUI, you lose it for not telling them about the DUI they already knew you had! As for the leakers, it's like "It's not that I'm beating my wife, It's that the kids keep telling the cops I do." Say what you will about Obama, he was never the worlds laughing stock. Covfefe.
I think Flynn has already flipped and is cutting a
- Thread starter Keyser76
- Start date
A guy in Flynn's position doesn't flip unless the FBI can catch a bigger fish. So question for the wingnuts-who in the admin is bigger than Flynn? Hint: he's fat, stupid, has bad hair, tweets ridiculous things on a regular basis, believes in conspiracy theories, grabs ***** without being invited, has been married 3 times, is the darling of Falwell and his brainwashed evangelicals, seems to have an affinity for Putin, tried to get the FBI to quit investigating and he's won 19 club championships but won't have time for golf as President. Who is it that is the fbi's real target?
The "people" of the world were getting money from Obama who was doing his best to destroy the US. He was effectively bringing down the economic and military might of the US, something that no other country could do. The world doesn't want a strong US, they want us to be just like them, ineffective, and inconsequential on the world stage.
WTF are you blabbering about sugartits? I am mocking you and your lady friends.
Ok I'll give you the weakening of the military (but not near enough to be weak...please) and I'll give you that Obama wasn't an aggressive force in global politics (as far as military action).....but come on, he took over an absolutely destroyed economy and built it (yes, yes too slowly for modern taste) over his 8 into a pretty solid economy that Trump has taken over.
Boom, with all due respect, you seem to have little knowledge of the economy or of Obama's accomplishments. Libs can't name one policy Obama initiated that got us out of recession except the stimulus which even lib economists (Paul Krugman) admitted didn't work. He continued the Bush policy of TARP. We exited the recession in June 2009 and had one of the weakest recovery on record. He had the 4th worst economic record of all Presidents. His GDP growth averaged an abysmal 1.66%. Food stamp usage soared and is still extraordinarily high. Median family incomes fell. Part time work soared as reflected in the terrible U6 unemployment number.
High taxes, massive regulations, and ineffective spending are a recipe for economic calamity.
Deregulation, tax cuts, and high spending put the economy in even worse shape. There are significant changes occurring in the world that will CONTINUE to effect our GDP growth going forward as well.
But my point was this: don't act like Obama actively sought to destroy America, like it was some conspiracy theory leftist attempt to end the nation, bash his policies all you want but stop making it seem like he wanted to kill America. It's just not true.
They are kings of hyperbole and act like we are supposed to forget all the hair brained **** they used to throw at Obama, the main enemy Trump has is himself. The idea that he represents any type of values other than himself is laughable. He still acts like he is campaigning the way he reacts to Hillary trolling him.
As a full fledged capitalist, we would have done much better if the President hadn't instituted ACA and the banking reforms that went way overboard. I like to say that even a fully committed socialist like Obama couldn't hold back the backbone of the United states of America and that is the promise of a better life style through capitalism, not socialism. Without the aCA, increased taxes, Frank-Dodd, we would have had 3% growth.
I agree the banking refs were overboard. But the ACA was an attempt to fix a big problem. Costs trickle up
How can you be sure that just getting out of the way and do away with EO would not have produced a stronger recovery? What were acts instigated by Obama that impacted recovery?
Recovery and reinvestment act....confidence in the Fed.....rescue of Wall Street and the car industry wasn't bad
It was a redistribution of wealth from the public to the government. Never works cause govt doesn't work
Trying to fix the problem of Americans getting the insurance they want. Now, they have insurance they don't want or need with deductibles too high for them to go to the doctor. Brilliant!
Uninsured procedures at hospitals causing costs to be pushed onto people with insured procedures
We solved it by shifting the costs to taxpayers rather than insured patients. .. you think that is a solution?
I don't think Flynn has been offered a deal yet. It is still young in the investigation. They are now getting more **** on Sessions. He will be crying for a deal before it's all over. There are so many angles and avenues to pursue in this thing. Comey's testimony next week will be interesting.

April 17, 2012: owebama nominates Flynn, a U.S. Army lieutenant general who led operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, as the 18th director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Flynn takes over in July and, as part of his appointment, is given top-level security clearance.
April 30, 2014: Flynn announces his retirement from the DIA about a year earlier than expected. Media reports reveal that Flynn was effectively forced out over his combative management style and clashes over his attempted overhaul of the agency. The New Yorker later reports that DIA subordinates mocked Flynn for his loose relationship with the truth and said he spewed so-called “Flynn facts.” Flynn will become a vocal critic of owebama.
December 10, 2015: Flynn attends a Moscow gala for the Russian state-run news outlet RT, where he is seated next to the nation's president, Vladimir Putin. Flynn gets paid $33,750 for his hour-long talk at the event. ---This trip was OK'd by owebama.---
January 2016: Despite getting pushed out by the owebama administration, Flynn has his security clearance renewed.
February 2016: Flynn begins serving as an adviser for the Trump campaign and will soon become one of its public fixtures. He will even be considered as a potential running mate. Speaking at the Republican National Convention in July, Flynn leads the crowd in anti-Hillary Clinton “Lock her up” chants and says in his speech, “If I did a tenth of what she did, I'd be in jail today.”
November 18, 2016: Trump hires Flynn as his national security adviser.
December 29, 2016: Flynn speaks with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak the same day the owebama administration announces sanctions on Russia over its alleged hacking of Clinton’s campaign. The FBI and owebama advisers are aware of the conversation. ---Because they have been illegally spying on Americans.---
January 22, 2017: The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. counterintelligence agents are investigating communications between Flynn and Russian officials. Over the next three weeks, Flynn will initially say he does not recall the conversation, but he will gradually admit to the details in the report. Reports also show Flynn misled Vice President Pence about his talk with Kislyak.
January 31, 2017: Trump fires Sally Yates, the acting U.S. attorney general, after she tells the Justice Department not to defend Trump’s travel bans, which will later be halted by federal courts. After her ouster, multiple media reports indicate Yates warned White House officials about Flynn’s Russian relations and said they could become a serious issue. The White House denies this.
February 13, 2017: Facing continued scrutiny over the Russia call, Flynn resigns 24 days into his tenure with Trump, departing as the short-serving national security adviser.
March 8, 2017: Flynn registers with the Justice Department as a foreign agent who did $530,000 worth of lobbying work before Election Day, on behalf of a Dutch company tied to the Turkish government. Flynn did this work even while advising the Trump campaign and sitting in one some of Trump's classified security briefings.
March 30, 2017: The Wall Street Journal reports that Flynn had offered to testify before the FBI, Senate or House about the federal probe into Trump’s alleged Russia ties, if he is granted immunity from prosecution. Later reports indicate the offer was rejected.
May 8, 2017: On a day full of bombshells, Trump's former acting U.S. attorney general Sally Yates testifies before a Senate committee that she told the White House about Flynn's Russia talk 18 days before he resigned. She said she warned that Flynn "essentially could be blackmailed by the Russians." Meanwhile, the NBC News report reveals owebama's November warning to Trump about Flynn, which was ignored.

I think it was a step toward a solution. Don't discount the amount of people now getting proper doctor care and preventing major procedures, as well as children being covered for procedures that could prevent lifelong problems.
That was Clapper and Yates. And yes, it was interesting; they confirmed the trump campaign team is under investigation.
No. Just the logical unintended consequence from a feel good measure. You guys "solve" one and create 3 more.
