  all that talk about hillary clinton's unsecured e-mails?

  read the following:.

  "deagazio posted additional photos from the weekend, including one of his dining companions kissing trump on the cheek, a selfie with white house strategist steve bannon and another selfie identifying a man named rick who he says is responsible for carrying the nuclear “football,” which allows the president to authorize a nuclear attack while away from the white house.. "“this is rick,” wrote deagazio.

  Freemindfade:

  I am just asking. You said that after the compound was attacked, Obama sends a surveillance drone. I am simply asking for your source for this claim as it seems to be the simplest claim to investigate.

  freemindfade:

  Why did Obama not send any armed forces to fight or mount a rescue as the benghazi compound burned? He sent unarmed surveillance drones,

  Interesting. Can you provide a link that shows when Obama send a surveillance drone?

  After a sequence of highly targeted IC leaks, General Flynn has just resigned citing that he "briefed (...) with incomplete information". Resignation letter:

  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4mQam8VYAAXeMi.jpg:large

  This can be taken as a confirmation he did discuss sanctions with the Russian embassy. Let's hope there will be a proper investigation in who-knew-what now that "executive privilege" can no longer be cited as a reason not to investigate.

  The question that remains for me is this: If Flynn only discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador as per courtesy, and nobody else in the administration knew, why not simply release the tape recordings of those conversations in redacted form and keep Flynn on board?

  where a few of us here on the forum live is in an emergency situation.

  the main spillway on oroville dam -- the tallest dam in the usa -- is damaged.

  the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.

  I guess the good news is that the initial reports spoke about imminent failure but fortunately it seems to be holding up for now and the water level is dropping.. hoping for the best.

  What utter utter bullshit. It's all we've heard for the past 3 months !

  Well, I still haven't seen anyone actually do that (call someone a racist for bringing up the email issue). I certainly haven't.

  "It’s debatable whether Flynn broke any laws by ..."
  If it's debatable, then make the case or shut up. What has it got to do with Hillary's email server and her lies?

  There is good evidence Flynn has lied about his contact with the Russian embassy and then went on to mislead Pence. That naturally raises the question of what that contact consisted of and whether any laws were broken. This contact should be seen in the light of the ongoing FBI investigation of the Trump investigation and the allegations of Russian hacking.

  We can't know if laws were broken yet because the facts are still not in.. since you believe the claims about election fraud should be investigated fully due to their serious nature I would suppose (?) you would also support an investigation into this question as well.

  I just love how the left can claim what someone's motives are. If you didn't like Clinton's email debacle and think she lied about it, suddenly you are a racist.

  That is a very illogical argument to be sure, but I can't say I have seen it made on this site or anywhere else actually...

  VI: I think fear rather than racism is the key word. Trumps basic message is that everything has gone and is going to hell -- the US is run down, the military is shit, the economy is shit, all jobs are going overseas, Muslim terrorists are posing an existential threat, all politicians are crooked, the media is lying, Obamacare is failing "next year", it is bad, bad, bad and the only thing that can be done is to break with the establishment (Hillary) and solely focus on the interests of the (middle-class) US.

  This kind of pervasive pessimism and fear is really the main thread through most "new right" discussion of american politics.

  Yah this is a total clusterfuck... notice the picture where people are lighting the papers with their phones(!). Secret service, by the way, provide a mobile isolated unit to discuss these things.

  As an aside: Why are nobody bothered that Trump basically uses the Japanese prime minister as a kind of prop in his own club where he is selling access to himself? (the fee for Mar Lago just doubled from 100K to 200K a year).

  On the issue of national security, the Flynn-thing is still rolling. Flynn contacted the Russian embassy several times after Trump was elected and initially claimed (as did Pence) that he did not discuss sanctions. Many IC sources (they bug the embassy as per standard SIGINT procedure) are now saying that Flynn did discuss sanctions and Flynn is retracting to the usual "I can't remember" response. Reading a bit between the lines of what has been said Flynn likely encrypted some of the communication -- why?

  I would strongly recommend this background article:

  http://observer.com/2017/02/donald-trump-administration-mike-flynn-russian-embassy/

  I wonder where the "Hillarys email server" crowd is on this one...
