Acosta - WH source: "WH is in denial tonight. They are totally in a bubble. This is a Red Alert."

[mobeau69]

We have a massive coverup. Mueller gave Flynn the farm today and, in exchange, Flynn told him where the bodies are buried!

Way bigger than Watergate!

[BigmanPigman]

1. That seems contradictory to me.

If they are in a "denial bubble" than there would be no need for a " red alert". They know they are screwed and that is scary and dangerous.

[Irish_Dem]

2. They could still be in denial, think it is a partisan witch hunt and they are angry and defiant.

Which means that they are out of touch with reality, angry and acting out.
A red alert may be appropriate.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Oh, I see now.

I am glad I have my emergency backpack ready...I may need it if he starts a war with N Korea as a distraction.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Reminds me of Bush era...when things bad

They'd raise alert level

[Irish_Dem]

30. Right, we should get a daily alert level based on Trump's mental status. nt

[BigmanPigman]

4. Oh, I see now.

OK, I guess you guys took me seriously...I was JOKING about my earthquake emergency backpack. I may not be the brightest bulb, but I DO know that duct tape and a flashlight will not do any good during a missile attack.

[Irish_Dem]

7. I think he may get more dangerous, the more the heat is on him. nt

[mobeau69]

8. That won't help. LOL Just mix a cocktail and face the fire.

[VOX]

11. Cant drink, but I would ingest my entire medical bud supply...

Then go outside, plop down on a comfy chaise, and watch the fireworks.

[mobeau69]

12. LOL. I may need to schedule a quick trip west on I-70. I like CO.

[Irish_Dem]

14. I think we are all going to need medical buds before this is over. nt

[Irish_Dem]

13. I know, I wondered where Bigman and his backpack would go? nt

[mr_lebowski]

25. Her ;)

[Skittles]

10. they are guilty as fuck

they know it's no witch hunt - that's what they tell Trump's ridiculous base because they know they'll believe ANYTHING

[Irish_Dem]

16. They are so clueless, have no self awareness and out of touch with the rest

of the world. I think it is possible they do not understand their situation.
I think even Nixon could not face reality until the very end, and he was much smarter and aware than the Trumpwads.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. If they aren't gotta be the biggest coincidence

Of all time...all the forgetting all the lying all the contacts all the incriminating statements by trump himself...all happening without nefarious motive

[Irish_Dem]

29. Oh I think Trump is all about nefarious motive.

And he is guilty of a lot, just don't know if he fully grasps the situation he is facing.

[Sophia4]

26. Trump might believe that, as president, he would have the authority to determine

foreign policy toward Russia (including the issue of sanctions) and that Congress has no authority to tell him to impose or maintain sanctions.

That may be his view. I disagree.

Article I, section 8 (powers of Congress)

The Congress shall have power . . . To regulate commerce with foreign nations . . . .

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei

When Congress passes a law imposing sanctions on a foreign country, the president has to enforce that law. He does not have the authority to choose to ignore it.

The president's ability to decide foreign policy is not absolute.

Also, we only have one president at a time. Trump was not president yet when Flynn was calling the Russians.

And my guess is that there was a quid pro quo although it may not have been voiced as such. Just a tacit understanding will get one in trouble.

[Irish_Dem]

31. I think it was quid pro quo. Trump calls it making a good deal.

He is either clueless about the law, or could care less about the legal ramifications.

[Sophia4]

33. I agree with you!

Clueless or Lawless? Which is it?

[Irish_Dem]

34. Probably some of both? nt

[mobeau69]

5. BP, I thought the same thing at first. After thinking about it, here's the way I take it:

The source was saying it's a Red Alert (or should be a Red Alert) but Dotard and his cronies don't comprehend how grave their situation is.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes that is a possibility too, they think this will all blow over and it is a

nothing burger. Red Alert because the Trumpwads are clueless about
where this is headed for them.

[mobeau69]

9. Spinners can't spin tonight.

Tapper asked "if there was nothing done wrong why did Flynn lie about it?" He stammered a bit and then said "I don't know."

[Irish_Dem]

17. Exactly, any thing you have to lie about is bad news. nt

[sheshe2]

27. Could be that tRump is in the denial bubble...

and the staff is on red alert to sedate him when he comes out of it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. WH public denial for Trumpanzee consumption. WH private panic because they know what they done. nt

[janx]

18. Yes. There have been various reports. n/t

[workinclasszero]

19. Mueller is coming Dumpf!

[NBachers]

28. Nope- give 'em a little Diesel Therapy first- separate 'em, keep 'em in transit for months

so by the time they know where they are, they're already being shipped out someplace else. Diesel buses and Con Air - always on the move; no contact with anyone they know. It's intentional- even their lawyers can't keep track of where they are now.

Keep every single one of 'em in a different location, so they have no allies and no support. Dropped off at one joint at 3PM, processed 'till 8:00, locked down, and then woke up and shipped out again at 4 AM. Burnt out and ground into the blacktop 'till they feel like road kill.

You've seen those old prison buses with bars welded over the windows and damned shadows of doomed souls inside.

[Motley13]

22. they're coming to take him away

[L. Coyote]

23. I'm getting rich on popcorn futures.

[Nitram]

24. Yes, a great deal bigger than Watergate.

This isn't amateurs breaking into the Democratic Committee Headquarters and getting caught. This is high treason. An American presidential candidate and president working with Russian agents to corrupt American democracy for his personal financial gain.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Yes absolutely, much much bigger than Watergate.

Selling out the US to a hostile foreign power.
In exchange for large sums of money.
