Could be perfectly innocent, maybe he's just looking to go international with his slumlord operation?

I'm starting to wonder if the Paranoid President picked generals so if he is threatened with impeachment or actually impeached, that he will have these Cabinet generals take over the military and impose martial law to stay in office.

I realize that this makes me sound paranoid. But this horror show is so damn scary and getting worse every day. It's as if NOTHING MATTERS but ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
Some of us who've been around for a while remember "Anything Can Happen Day" on the original Mickey Mouse Club. I think it was Wednesday (each day had a theme).

I feel as if we presently are living in a combination of "Groundhog Day" and "Anything Can Happen Day", in a dystopian Donald Trump Club.

Everyday is "Anything Can Happen Day"...incessantly.

"Who's the leader of the club
That's not for you and me??
D-O-N...
A-L-D...
T-R-U-M-P!"

(Forever let us ask ourselves, "Why? - Why??, Why???, Why????")

Fox news tries to put a spin on the matter of Kushner, when its such an insidious act for them to make such an attempt. Fox wants to claim the Russian brought up the "back channel"... which is absurd, when Intelligence Intercept have the message the Russian Diplomat sent to the Kremlin..
If Russia has suggest the back channel,. there would have been no need for the Russian Diplomat to send a dispatch to the Kremlin...

Fox plays its audience to be foolish, and know they will fall for anything to divert the attention and try and deflect the facts. It's so insidious that it tells what they think of their audience.

Default Kushner didn't suggest Russian communications channel

[url=http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/29/jared-kushner-didnt-suggest-russian-communications-channel-in-meeting-source-says.html]Jared Kushner didn't suggest Russian communications channel in meeting, source says | Fox News[/url]

Another FAKE NEWS story thrown in the trash heap. Big surprise. I don't even like Kushner I think he should be removed from the WH and go back to raising his kids with Ivanka and let Bannon run the WH but can't let the fake news go without being challenged.

There are so many things wrong with all of that that I simply do not know where to start, oh well.

Inside Obama’s Secret Outreach to Russia
The U.S. has been working behind the scenes for months to forge a new working relationship with Russia, even enlisting Henry Kissinger.

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/artic...each-to-russia

Leading the charge has been Secretary of State John Kerry. This fall, Kerry even proposed going to Moscow and meeting with Putin directly. The negotiations over Kerry’s trip got to the point of scheduling, but ultimately were scuttled because there was little prospect of demonstrable progress.

In a separate attempt at outreach, the White House turned to an old friend of Putin’s for help. The White House called on former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to discuss having him call Putin directly, according to two officials. It’s unclear whether Kissinger actually made the call. The White House and Kissinger both refused to comment for this column.

Did they refuse to comment because it was Fake News?

Not only that, it gets worse.... REALLY WORSE - CBS reported

President-elect Barack Obama's team established a back-channel, clandestine dialogue with the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
U.S. intelligence agencies could be used as a channel for communications with Hamas — communications which would likely never be acknowledged.

Both liberal sources.
