Washington (CNN)Embattled White House national security adviser Michael Flynn resigned Monday night, two sources tell CNN. His departure came just after reports surfaced the Justice Department warned the Trump administration last month that Flynn misled administration officials regarding his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States and was potentially vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.

Leftwingers would find Jesus and Mother Teresa objectionable.
Their technique is to seek to relentlessly erode and corrode the entire President Trump administration at every turn.
That is why I believe we must ignore their absurd charges and ridiculous accusations on principle.

revolution it is, then . . . . no "fake news" there, by golly.

I don't think you understand Twitter.

Have you analyzed it at all? I've been working on it since October 2016.

I was a computer programmer/analyst in a previous life.

Perhaps you could share your insights into what's going on over there with the rest of us?

I don’t want the worldwide Left to stop what they are, presently, doing, with their meltdowns (save, for all of the violence), because it assures that more political victories will happen with worldwide conservative candidates. I, just, want the very best candidates to be filling all of the remaining openings from within the Trump administration, and this would have to involve people without any negative personal baggage and/or any negative political baggage attached to them.

The guy in Trump’s admin who needed to go was Priebus, yet we seem to have the Democrat intelligence community pairing with the VP to instead take the skull of a non-GOPe guy and likely cementing Priebus in longer.

Meanwhile, Trump meets with the lefty Canadian PM about women business owners, with some sort of joint commission about women in business? With Ivanka in the middle of it all—posing at the resolute desk in the Oval Office as an example of a woman having a ‘seat at the table’? Yuck! Imagine if Obama had had his first meeting with the Canadian PM about a special commission on blacks in business, as a cause pushed by Michelle, with Michelle posing at the resolute desk to demonstrate giving blacks a “seat at the table”?

“This is bad. Flynn is hated by the DC interventionist establishment because of his work exposing Obama’s support for terrorists in Syria in the famous DIA intelligence assessment.”

Flynn’s behavior is something you’d not tolerate out of a 2nd lieutenant. How did he make it to General? That was obviously a mistake, too.

Freepers hate the obvious logic of simple facts

They prefer Alex Jones avenue to Conspiracy Canyon where they can show their clever acumen at figuring it all out

Have to say I totally agree.

For me, much as I love Trump and his beautiful family, they have absolutely no business being involved in anything aside from nice family photos.

He is the President and he should know better. He appeals to the masses, Much as he loves Ivanka, she is not loved in the same way nationwide and never will be.

He needs to keep the momentum up,

I think Donald Trump is better than the rest of the DC crowd including Mike Pence, who was brought on as VP to make Trump’s enemies happy.

Lying to Pence might have been necessary since Pence is in the camp of those who see Russia as an enemy more than Donsld Trump has.

The financial realities can’t be ignored.

It was Richard Nixon who said “We can’t run the world without China” and hence his China policy......

Regardless, the Western Europe-USA axis of nations are cash poor and deep in debt.....

The Saudis and Chinese have $$$$$ to invest.

Their facts and they play into policy, I am certain.

It was a brilliant idea. The Left does not deserve a monopoly on advocacy for women. Hijacking their agenda and forcing Trudeau into a friendly corner is a power play.

Also, I think I have a different view on Russia from most freepers due to having lived there.

You know this to be true.

I am thinking it through and trying to get some folks who don’t realize it to come to that realization.

I hope you keep participating and explaining what’s really going on in this forum.

Ugh. Identity politics are wrong. They are the last thing the US president and Canadian PM should be bonding over.

And the daughter of a billionaire, who also marries a billionaire, isn’t some sort of feminist business icon—however much she wants to be.

No, Russia isn’t all warm and fuzzy, but it is the Obama/Hillary crew who did the dirty deals with them, not Trump and Flynn.
