Regarding the news on Pence's knowledge of Flynn being a foreign agent... ( HT: #PenceKnew )

Say hello to our country's new leader:
Madam President, Nancy Pelosi ...

May she quickly get to work repairing our broken country !!

I'd say right now, the GOP must be in shear panic mode, realizing they MUST hurry the fuck up and get Pence to resign ASAP, and THEN "compel" the Hapless Groper to select and install our next president...

Time's running out !!




BREAKING: Two paper trails made by Rep. Cummings and Scott Dworkin prove that Mike Pence knew Michael Flynn was working as a foreign agent for Russia.

Our Trade Deal Genius work is starting to bear fruit..

- This is the 4th largest point drop in DOW history (122 years)

- The top 4 largest point drops in history have all now occurred under President Trump.

Then Speaker Ryan would be the new president.....

Reps are just evil enough to try something like this...

He was banking on Mueller moving faster. He knows Pence is up to his backside in Russians and Rubles.

This would have been his path to the Presidency.

He'll be President for a few days, until Pelosi takes over, right? Or would his ascent to President before Pelosi becomes Speaker make him the President for the rest of Trump's term? Whoa...that's a problem.

OTOH, the Republicans on the far right detest Ryan. They would fight it. Trump and Pence are their men.

Watch for a bunch of Rethugs suddenly developing Personal Family Issues disease before June recess. Lots of special elections and State Party Appointments coming next year.

Mr.Commings is Feared by most Rethugs. A Black Man with Legal clout scares the shit out of White Politicians.

But wait, there's more!!! @2:35m the question is asked.

"Just to button up one question. Did any advisor or anybody in the Trump campaign have any contact with the Russians...?"

Mike Pence: "Oh of course not..."


Nice game face, but you, Mike Pence, are a traitor.

Even though Cummings got the signed receipt that it had been received by Pence's office, Pence claims that he never saw it.

I don't remember much attention being given to it, then or now by Democrats or the media.

But for comparison, point drop in itself is meaningless unless it represents an historic percentage drop in the market as a whole. In ~1978 a 799 point drop would be nearly 100% of the market. Now it's like 3%. Still big but not historic.

That's all we need to know. Kremlin approved.

We had our CIA President from '88-'92. Russia's KGB President has been in office (on/off) now since Boris Yeltsin in the late 90s https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-s-a-solid-man-declassified-memos-offer-window-into-yeltsin-clinton-relationship/29462317.html

Yeah a solid something

at least a year ago... the whole cabal goes deep and even the Speaker is involved as well as a good third of Congress, both houses, if not more in the end.

New terms to get familiar with:

RICO Act

Asset forfeiture

succession of order

And then relax and smile, but only for a moment.
