Crazy, eh?

I think you may have your facts a tad mixed up. The Hill is reporting that Sessions is indeed investigating 27 leaks but it has nothing to do with Mueller. Sessions: "I think it has reached epidemic proportions. It can not be allowed to continue. Continuous leaks have proven to be a thorn in President Trump's side and have shown no signs of stopping." The article goes on to say that the white house is instituting a training program on disclosure of classified and unclassified information.

"There have been 9 investigations in 3 years prior to the Trump administration compared to the already 27 leaks under scrutiny today.

I don't know where you got your information, but sorry, you're wrong. Mueller is a consummate pro and doing an outstanding job unlike MAGA king who only hires the best people to stab him in the back.

President Donald Trump’s family made it to Palm Beach International Airport on Thursday evening just minutes before the president himself.

Great, did they take off from the same spot?

The only question now is how badly Russia wants to keep a useful idiot like Trump in play considering how badly he's leaning on the "idiot" part of his role.

I mean, come on! If Hillary or Obama even put Russian salad dressing on a salad, they'd be accused of "working with the Russians," but Trump literally struts around praising Putin and asking for his Russian buddies to find dirt on his opponents, and we're going to pretend nothing is going on?

The indictments and investigation shall continue, the noose shall be drawn tighter around the King in Orange. And what does he do in response to all this? Hide behind the bodies of murdered children, using the Florida school shooting to continue to claim the fact that the Russians handed him the election is a "hoax." Oh, and Trump STILL hasn't taken a single action against Russia in all this. Why, it's almost like he's a bought and paid for Russia stooge! Fancy that!
I forgot my milk and cookies before your story time.

Liberals are going to keep spinning themselves deeper and deeper into a political grave, probably taking this country with them. Doing the work of Putin!!! (cue echo).

Posts like he above are so cartoonish that they almost seem to be scripted and intentionally meant to not be taken seriously. I don't know any adults that talk like that in real life. Do you? Probably not. The above script is written like its meant to cause repulsion and / or permanent political fracture.

Nah... we've just learned to not play the game of giving liberals everything when playing the only game that hey have: appealing to emotion, offense, and twisting supposed "principles" in an attempt to get conservatives to be consistent and then, somehow, therefore give liberals what they want.

Its a worn out game that liberals broke, and are now hammering home in an attempt to restart it. Conservatives are not responding. Liberals are apoplectic because its literally all they have. There is no superior argument under any of their politics. Its been emotional manipulation for decades now. Conservatives detaching from that is the equivalent of an abused person detaching from an emotionally manipulative psychopath. Thus, your cute chides and digs only read like that psychopath trying to further manipulate a broken relationship. No sale and MAGA. In fact, we'd sooner watch you people walk off a short pier than give you a single thing going forward. If that brings it home for you. National fracture completed. Great job.

Lol... the only thing that the Left "has" is the media. Without your media basically ever pronouncing and dictating an irrational narrative on almost every critical issue, your prosecutions and persecutions would have no political fuel let alone a rational or legal basis. See the Michael Brown incident for a recent previous example.

The media has outright declared that Trump colluded. Its in Newsweek today. Not under the opinion section, but presented as news. Of course, the article is absolutely smoke and mirrors and devoid of any citations of actual evidence, but the more important takeaway is the article's declaration of Trump's collusion.

Without pseduo-media proclamations like this, Muellers investigation would have zero political fuel. As it stands, it has zero rational basis other than as an establishment persecution of a duly elected president.

That liberals do not see how this further evaporates their political capital or see the obviousness of the partisan persecution and one-sided power against an elected president, and what that means for democracy going forward, only tells me more about how our institutions desperately need to be re-balanced. Although, in a darker sense, it tells me that in its current form this nation is perhaps irrevocably lost.
