dem Russia Collusion talks been REAL quiet...

come again...?

guess u been under a rock, Tillerson basically letting Putin know what it is with regards to Assad and Trump leaving da door open for Nato (which implies not being oblivious to Russia in East Ukraine) took da Russian Collusion story to da back burner.

What?

Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said.

The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said.



Another source suggested the Dutch and the French spy agency, the General Directorate for External Security or DGSE, were contributors.

It is understood that GCHQ was at no point carrying out a targeted operation against Trump or his team or proactively seeking information. The alleged conversations were picked up by chance as part of routine surveillance of Russian intelligence assets. Over several months, different agencies targeting the same people began to see a pattern of connections that were flagged to intelligence officials in the US.

Come. Again?

so mother jones and da guardian.... that's it?

Whenever you can't come out with a asinine deflection to discredit the content, you fall back on the crutch of shooting the messenger.

He must suffer from some kind of psychological disorder. Pair it with gross ignorance and a lack of intelligence and boom political thread ruined.

Facts

I always say this to my friends. You have to be extremely lucky, or extremely talented to make it through life as a dumb black dude, especially if you're born poor.

If you rich and white, you can be a completely moron, and you still got a shot at being president. I mean just look at our last two Republican presidents

politically it don't matter, it'll be more useful for her optics wise for Trump for her to take da 5th in front of Congress to basically take da field goal W.

I imagine delusion of that degree can't be very pleasant but at that point the delusion is past giving a damn or maybe even past realizing when you're wrong. Ninja's math problems are the most glaring example of this. He has never acknowledged that he made any math errors and just ignored the corrections or said things like "take ya math fetish somewhere else b"

When he said there are more than 7 days in a week, he told us to check our calendars when we corrected him.

When he tried to equate 50% of Trump supporters to 50% of the US population, he responded with "what u talking bout?" when it was pointed out to him that that is mathematically impossible, then ignored further comments.

And so on.

You could catch him saying 1+1=3, point out it's incorrect and that the answer is 2 and he'll proceed to tell you "ya been wrong about the election results, now u think u know numbers b?"

Trump Jr. mocks college students' concern over Chick-fil-A

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. has taken to Twitter to mock a group of Pittsburgh college students opposed to the addition of a Chick-fil-A restaurant to their campus.

A student newspaper at Duquesne University reports that a student government representative last month proposed asking the university to reconsider the addition of a Chick-fil-A. Niko Martini told The Duquesne Duke that Chick-fil-A "has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights."

Trump Jr. tweeted a link to an article on the controversy Thursday and wrote: "Luckily these students wont likely have to tackle issues more stressful than a yummy chicken sandwich in their lives... Oh Wait #triggered"

Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy has publicly spoken about his opposition to gay marriage. The Atlanta-based company said in a statement Thursday: "Everyone is welcome in our restaurants."

@NBCNightlyNews:
Intel officials: US has positioned 2 destroyers capable of shooting Tomahawk cruise missiles in the region.

If NKorea fires a long-range missile, the US is considering shooting it down via destroyers in the region, sources tell @NBCInvestigates.

US heavy bombers are also positioned in Guam to attack North Korea, should they be deemed necessary, sources tell @NBCNightlyNews.

US intel official: "We're trying to communicate our level of concern and the existence of many military options to dissuade the North.

@CBSEveningNews:
Satellite images show North Korea may be preparing for a nuclear test. Our @BenSTracy is in Pyongyang http://cbsn.ws/2oEQJBC

This is all on top of the news of Japan sending ships to join the US strike group earlier this week...

The MOAB getting dropped on Afghanistan was as much a not so thinly veiled threat against NK and Iran than anything

 

[wavy daddy]

What exactly did NK do in the first place to get the US to constantly threat them? Was it the posititong and rocket tests?

North Korea and South Korea are still at war. Both countries never signed a peace treaty, and the North doesn't recognize the South as a separate entity. The US has been involved in that conflict as a result of its cold war era domino theory (if communism takes hold in a non-aligned country, all countries around it will succumb to communism). That's the gist of the NK-USA relationship.
