Well good to know though most GOP lawmakers are showing a lack of spine re Trump/Russia, they still have some common sense. #SmallFavorshttps://t.co/0P8gWrojiP
Of course not. President Obama was a class act. There is nothing Trump has done (or threatens to do) which President Obama did while he served in the White House. They are not on the same level and Trump is proving that each and every day.
Spicer on Friday: “The tweet speaks for itself.”
TODAY: “Is the White House intending to cooperate with those requests and furnish that information as requested in writing?”
Spicer: “I think I made it clear last week that the President has nothing further on that,”.
“Does that mean that the President will deny requests?”
Spicer: “I was very clear that the President would have nothing further on that last week,”
“You’re describing a situation in which the President would defy the legislative branch’s request. That’s what you’re saying.”
Spicer: “I understand. I’ve made it clear what the President’s position is on that issue.
So sorry – you don’t get to “move on” from this topic.
We know 45 has a history of taping. And his hotel employees claimed he listened in on their calls. https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/trump…secretly-recording…/b302b038-372d-11e7-…
Per the Telegraph: Christopher Steele’s dossier “cites highly placed sources in Russia who claim that Mr Trump gathers intelligence for the Kremlin on Russian businessmen in the United States”.
Trump believes he's above the law. Congress must do its job and hold him accountable with a select committee or independent commission. pic.twitter.com/TJ7A1PCPnw

A day of reckoning will be coming sooner than many think and it will consume all of the traitors, liars, cheats, and cowards for the world to see. The republicans will suffer the psychic wound that they wished on so many others with their evil votes and actions. It will be a long time before they are ever entrusted with public office. Our job, in the meantime, is to educate ourselves and all that we know, vote, insist, persist, and resist even when we are victorious so that such evil will not be tolerated in high places again. We will also need to keep ourselves in check, to insist on justice, not revenge, and to always remember to “go high when they go low.”
“Disturbing”…”Problematic”….but will Republicans actions coincide with the words?

Dear @realDonaldTrump: WaPo followed your advice & looked into the leaking of highly classified information. Turns out the leaker is you. https://t.co/heKrKbvs4N
How much Manafort-pumped Russian money does Speaker Paul Ryan have that he can never separate himself from Trump? Seems possible. #WaPopic.twitter.com/ozmVgqLmFR
All of this could have been avoided if they had allowed American press into the room. Even better, if he had not allowed the symbolism of An American president meeting an adversary government official into the iconic Oval office, to be used for Russian propaganda.
Oh, please, make it so. I’ve had several recurring ‘middle-of-the-night’ ideas that he and his band of hardened criminals may very well attempt to hijack AF1 and route it directly to Moscow, or another site in Russia where it could be hidden. I tell myself if that were to happen, the pilots would never comply or obey an ‘order’ like that, from a so-called CIC. Surely they would secure the cockpit and return the plane to a US base, where all the occupants couldn’t be taken into custody upon landing. It’s a nightmarish thought, for sure, if Putin were to get hold of AF1.
.@POTUS has apparently committed two high crimes in less than a week: Obstruction of Justice & leaking classified info to a foreign power. https://t.co/KdbNQyCwrx
We’re f**ked either way. The only way to not have any of them is to have the lection null and voided to allow Hillary, the true winner, in office, or to scrap all of it and have a bi-partisan group govern with limited powers while we have another election. We are in uncharted territory that will change how we govern, I hope for the better, forever. The current fiasco shows just how vulnerable our form of government is. We need to revise various elements of the constitution and to add amendments that will keep us from being in this untenable position again. We also need to modernize our voting laws and systems (suffrage for everyone, automatic registration when one comes of age, a national day off for national elections, and a hack-proof way to vote). Furthermore, we have to spell out in the law steps that can be taken to unseat presidents who are a clear and present danger to the republic that is not dependent upon partisanship.
You don't declassify ON THE FLY. It should be a thoughtful and careful process. Not something you do to impress KGB visitors.#IMPEACHhttps://t.co/pqwECNC9zE
Watch McMaster's statement carefully: “at no time were sources or methods discussed.” WaPo report never said Trump revealed sources/methods. pic.twitter.com/SF3rWDqKFi
More Word Games.
So Trump told the Russians ENOUGH that they could track down the very highly sensitive information. We see what Trumputin is capable of doing. The fact that he did it with Russians is just an extension of his long term relationship with them.
True. McMaster, who has not been allowed to choose his own deputy, needs to get out of the swamp to save his reputation. 45 does not trust him so he keeps him in the dark and does not listen to McMaster’s advice and counsel. He may have thought that he could get in there and try to make the idiots more effective, but that is not want they want. You have to know when to cut bait. Let them continue to f**k up and we may be able to get them out sooner. The stink of this administration will cling for years to come to those who stay in it.
Well, something finally brought all of Trump’s boys and girls together. Hope they have lawyers, because – depending on what they do from this point on – they’re going down, too.

Not interested in sob-stories from any DJT campaign supporter. At all — his limited ability to comprehend, his “qualifications” (Reality TV snake oil salesman), his working up his confederate flag waving supporters, his neediness and compulsion to boast, his lack of self-control — all fully evident before Nov 8, 2016.
@JamilSmith@metaquest Cannot summon an ounce of sympathy for anyone associated w/ DJT. Obvious to any sentient person he is/has been pathetic liar #BirtherInChief
We are living in dangerous times because of homegrown hate and greed. “It rains on the just and the unjust” and those who voted for and supported this travesty.
As it was, they constantly accused PBO of abusing his authority; even filing lawsuits challenging actions he had the right to do as POTUS; things that were done for the well-being and benefit of this country.
45 IS abusing his authority and should be UNDER the jail.
This all just makes me really sad. We had the most beautiful intelligent & sincere President we could have possibly elected- and too many in this country treated him poorly & with disrespect- from repubs in Congress to the media. He literally loved us and wanted to nurture this country into the future… and so much more. And now we have this person and the people he has hired to literally destroy everything they touch.
The Obama Diary 
Thanks bunches, Nerdy:)
This entitled little sob needs to get voted out
back to work ….
Sean Spicer’s answer for everything du jour.
IOW: I’M IGNORING YOU.
Yep.
Congrats, DF on your Au ⭐
Karma has a way of delivering JUSTICE 😉
No honor among thieves, crooks, and authoritarians (Sips tea and smiles).

Hope she wins in a landslide. He’s disgusting.
Hi Everybody!
Here’s a little something to make you smile…
Heads would explode!
I am glad somebody’s 2017 has been positive so far.
Now, a warning?….. as Stephanie Miller would say.
From Disciplined, intelligent, thoughtful to Lazy, stupid, selfish.

HOLLY CRAP….LISTENING TO RANDI RHODES READING THAT TRUMP REVEALED CLOSELY HELD SECRETS ON HOW THE USA DEALS WITH ISIS TO THE RUSSIANS.
Fucking mind boggling.
OMG
This guy tends to do things because he can. Republicans, has he crossed that line yet?!?!?!?
And as usual, the Repubs are okay with it?!?!? Because he has the right to do something doesn’t make it okay!!!!
YUP …
YUP … it only gets worse with every passing day ….

Agree.
Agree. Personally, I don’t want any revenge. Revenge takes too long. I want justice. I want our country safe again. NOW.
No surprise to anyone here …
“Disturbing”…”Problematic”….but will Republicans actions coincide with the words?
The American Ideal.
Per MSNBC, soon McMaster will be briefing on the topic of disclosure of classified material to the Russians …
… if he starts lying for Trump today, he’s going down, too.
SOON: National Security Adviser McMaster speaks to the press on President Trump’s conversation with the Russians – http://abcnews.go.com/live/video/special-live-2?cid=share_twitter_widget
“President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-revealed-highly-classified-information-to-russian-foreign-minister-and-ambassador/2017/05/15/
No wonder Lavrov was grinning like a lunatic for the Dicktraitor cameras

We won’t have long to wait, now ….
Our allies have the dirt on Donald and it’s just been a matter of when as to the timing of the dump.
I think the time is within the next day or two ….
You Trump supporters elected this buffoon, what did you expect to happen?
Oh, please, make it so. I’ve had several recurring ‘middle-of-the-night’ ideas that he and his band of hardened criminals may very well attempt to hijack AF1 and route it directly to Moscow, or another site in Russia where it could be hidden.

The incompetence can’t be fixed…is it deliberate?!?!?!?
I really wish there were patriotic Americans in the Republican side.
If this was President Hillary Clinton …
