    Definitely. This is scorched earth class warfare waged by the GOP against the lower classes. It’s shameful.

    Guys, it's important to remember there is nothing to suggest Flynn has any information on anyone above him ... other than the fact that he just plead guilty to a low-level crime that may likely still send him to prison as part of a wide-ranging investigation involving potential obstruction of justice, kidnapping, FARA violations, money-laundering and potential treason.

    I’d like to think they’ll pay a price eventually. But they won’t.

    I'm not happy about the tax bill, but I can't gin up much outrage over it. You can't expect to get through two or more years of total Republican control of the federal government and not expect them to pass a tax bill that makes the rich better off and the poor less so.

    It's not good, but it's predictable and it's by far the least evil thing we have to worry about from this group.

    I know. I see people up in arms about it and it kind of goes in one ear and out the other. This may be wrong, and I know it had a real world impact on people, but in the current state, I can't get too worked up about normal Republican bills. I'm mostly worried about nuclear war.

    That was utter nonsense. They did NOT talk alike, dammit!

    A timeline:

    January 24: Flynn lies to FBI about his meetings with the Russian Ambassador
    January 26: Yates warns White House that the National Security Advisor has lied to the FBI about his meetings with the Russian Ambassador and thus is subject to blackmail by Russia
    January 27: Trump refuses to fire Flynn, demands loyalty pledge from Comey
    January 30: Trump fires Yates

    "I don't think he did anything wrong. If anything, he did something right." --POTUS on Flynn, in February.

    I really am curious. Does YF have compromising pictures of you or are you really that fond of the guy that you defend him so fiercely?

    I'm not defending him. I'm trying to save you the breath.
