Kids, it's only March of 2017 and we've already got a former cabinet member offering to cooperate in FBI investigations! www.wsj.com/articles/mike-flynn-offers-to-testify-in-exchange-for-immunity-1490912959It's a shit show, really, because it's our country the dude is squatting and taking a dump on, but I can't help but smile a bit at how quickly things are unraveling. Hell, even *I* thought we'd be further into his first year before this stuff started coming down, and I think he's a halfwit. In bullet points can you catch me up? I very rarely get to watch a news programme now with the kid taking every minute of every day and I am usually in bed before the night news. You don't need to write an essay. Bullet points will suffice. Ta. Long story short, Flynn, former appointee as National Security Advisor, was forced to step down previously due to fibbing a bit about his contact with Russian officials during the Trump campaign, as well as the nature of those conversations. We haven't heard much since, but there's an ongoing investigation into the whole Trump-Campaign-And-Russia thing, and Flynn just offered to testify so long as he's granted immunity. Further, no one is taking him up on it.

Cine's bullet points always spin to the left, in case you didn't know. Not if they are factual. Alternatively you could have done it rather that snipe. It's too early to tell. Flynn resigned. Now there's an investigation. That's all we've got so far. The last three US Presidents had scandals which looked to be career killers, and yet they survived them. Why he posted the thread here is.....well, you can ask him that if you want.

I suppose the same way you post things OT. It's not a bit deal, we are, after all a community, albeit a dysfunctional one. As too the comment re the last 3 bush I get, Clinton I get. Obama?

Mmm. Icke also thinks Hillary is a lizard, wore only turquoise for quite some time and insisted people refer to him as the "Son of God-Head". So... yeah. More McDonalds. Ok, so, you view your own posts that touch on political issues as propaganda, too, right? Or is this just a selective tantrum because you don't like the story? I wanted them to pack it up before someone got killed. What did your fantasy Cinemachinery want? I'm always eager to hear about my dream counterpart. You don't have a fantasy counterpart. There's only one Cinemachinery, and one is more than enough. And threads like this are what you do. Who knows? If Hillary had you on her team instead of some of the characters she relied on, she might have won the damn thing, but it's a little late now.

As long as you're making up positions for me, it's your fantasy, baby!
I hope he smells like beer and chocolate and makes you super-happy.
True, I do post quite a few news articles from the more vetted news sources.

It happened on his watch, so it was his scandal.

It happened on his watch, so it was his scandal. It wasn't even close to being a career killer, as multiple GOP led investigations showed. It was a highly partisan witch hunt which failed miserably as it was always going to.

The fact that multiple investigations turned up bupkis only means the conspiracy runs deeper than we thought.

I did not but, much like that whole Pizza Gate thing, promotion of that bullshit has resulted in threats against parents who've lost their kids. Feels harmless, but this silly stuff has real-world consequences.
