IDK. Maybe I’m just getting freaked out.

But, I have little doubt that nevertrumpers Ryan, McCain, et al won’t try.

This is a coup d’etat playing out in slow motion. First you create this “russia hacked our election” fake story and pound it until it’s in the public mind. Then you start linking Trump’s people to some sort of nefarious collusion with them. Then you say “that proves it, Trump worked with the Russians to steal the election in violation of law x, y, and z” and then they impeach him. They need the house and senate, they think they’ll get them in 2018 if they agitate enough and then they strike.

Shut down US intel and contract it out to the Russians.
Hillary and Obama already still control the FBI, CIA, and other intel groups. It’ll take too long to clean it up.

And now that the leakers and their handlers are out of power, they want to turn the NSA collections off so Trump cannot use it against them as Obama used it against his opponents...by getting him and congress to neuter it. They never liked it in the first place... until Obama won, when it was useful, like the nuclear option was in congress. Now that Trump’s in it’s a different story with these tools in his hands.

Waste of ink and paper.

Not for them. I'm sure that their readers gobbled it up and are anxiously awaiting for more of the same.

62 million people know that Russia had no effect on why they voted for Trump

Hillary’s exposure as a careless arrogant corrupt old twat and her labeling half of America as deplorables was plenty enough reason

“Lot of cucks on this thread aren’t there?”

Yep. They are either cowards or liberal infiltrators. The forum would be better off without them.

And calling for Flynn's resignation at the first sign of major resistance is fighting - how?

Hopefully it was a tactical retreat and not some naive attempt at appeasement - 'cause the opposition views this as total war, as their actions to date indicate.

Members in good standing of the Surrender First, Last and Always brigade. McCrazy and Linda do not have the power some believe they do.

Abraham Lincoln and the press:

Major-General John A. Drx,

Commanding at New York:

Whereas there has been wickedly and traitorously printed and published this morning in the New York World and New York Journal of Commerce, newspapers printed and published in the city of New York, a false and spurious proclamation purporting to be signed by the President and to be countersigned by the Secretary of State, which publication is of a treasonable nature, designed to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States and to the rebels now at war against the Government and their aiders and abettors, you are therefore hereby commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison in any fort or military prison in your command the editors, proprietors, and publishers of the aforesaid newspapers, and all such persons as, after public notice has been given of the falsehood of said publication, print and publish the same with intent to give aid and comfort to the enemy; and you will hold the persons so arrested in close custody until they can be brought to trial before a military commission for their offense. You will also take possession by military force of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce, and hold the same until further orders, and prohibit any further publication therefrom.

A. LINCOLN.

Flynn is a democrat. Why would the democrats want his head?

Trump fired him because he lied.

None of then have anything to do with this.

This will evaporate under a deluge of Trump actions.

There are good men and women in all parties. Flynn is a good man, like the Congress lady from Hawaii is a good women in the fight against the deep state.

I'd rather have them on our side in this fight than McCain or Graham, any day. Wouldn't you?

Ringing the alarm, and a call to action is the opposite of surrendering. What we're seeing go down, is far more serious than most realize.

The time to fight back is now, before those who already are, the deep state, gain even more ground.
