Talk about shameless hypocritical flip-flopping...
I've said a dozen times, at least, why I voted for Trump:

Illegal immigration.
Supreme Court nominations.
Hillary said I was a homophobe, xenophobe, uneducated rube because I didn't want to vote for her. I disagreed and was happy to vote against her.

As to Russia, you are ignorant of the facts. I don't have any desire to waste my time to educate you.

Yeah so?

We all know the FBI is investigating all things Russian related to the election.

So far all they have said is that the Russians definitely tried to influence the election, but were not successful in hacking into any voting machines etc.

The world is still turning. The sun rose this morning. The sky is not falling.

In all due time, we will likely learn the results of all these investigations.

Do you seriously believe that if a bunch of congressional representatives from both parties were told anything damning about Trump we wouldn't know it already? Lol, you are really naïve if you believe that.

Here is the likely thing that happened. Flynn told the Russian ambassador some bland thing like sure we will be looking at everything the previous admin did. Common sense. That stopped our diplomats from being expelled from Russia........a good thing......as some of them are likely spies collecting intel.

Trump then advised by the hysterical Sally Yates that Flynn subject to possible blackmail......pfft.

Trump agreed its pfft and decides to keep Flynn on despite him shading the truth. Then the shadow govt interferes in their coup against Flynn based on longstanding hostilities regarding Flynn and the previous admin.

Trump realizing that appearances are frequently everything has to decide between loyalty to Flynn and loyalty to Pence. He chooses Pence and cuts Flynn loose. Cant say I am too broken up about that as Flynn is imo a bit of a whackadoo.

Nonetheless...........hardly earth shattering situation.

Hardly the next Watergate.

And yet you feel the need to minimize each and every aspect... I guess this worries you a lot more than you care to admit...

Ok, that is one view. Let's see how it shakes out in the final analysis. Until then, all we are doing is guessing..........us and you.

My point of this thread was that the wheels are starting to move toward the investigation and hearings. That will be when the real facts emerge.

That is, when he manages to actually be there.

You do know what Flynn did was nothing really serious compared to what Obama's advisor did, right?

We haven't heard so much as a fart from the "press" about that, haven't we?
