They're going to remove Donny's Liar Flynn Boil while Laura Palmer's killer remains in the White House.
Boo-urns... what a lame ending for Twin Peaks. I want another season.

I would feel SO HAPPY without Flynn and Bannon in the White House.
Sounds like the bottom is falling out for Flynn. Thank god.

I was at DIA when he was there. He's a complete fucking idiot.

We need something like a military coup or something else to happen.
Both the Republicans & the GOP have been letting Trump & his administration get away with too much shit for so long.
People are waking up.

He sounds like the type of guy who sits down with employees eating lunch and then starts talking about how the Japanese were behind The Black Dahlia murder for the next 30 minutes while you're trying to eat.

In any other country, the opposition party would galvanise the military and put the entire administration on trial.
At some point, democrats need to grow some balls and do their job.

They have been desperately trying to get this to blow over to the point Flynn and his son both deleted their social media stuff to get out of the spotlight.
The whole reason Flynn has the job he does is because its the one position he can have that doesn't require government approval.

So realistically, is anything gonna happen? This information is now out there. What hands does this information need to reach to even BEGIN the conversation on whether its treasonous? I'm really tired of hearing "X did Y bad thing!" and nothing happening afterwards. If this is gonna go nowhere, its probably just dust in the wind at this point.
Edit: From the NYT's article - "Prosecutions in these types of cases are rare, and the law is murky, particularly around people involved in presidential transitions. The officials who had read the transcripts acknowledged that while the conversation warranted investigation, it was unlikely, by itself, to lead to charges against a sitting national security adviser."
Well, that's disappointing.

He means democrat lawmakers.
The democratic voters are huge and do make a noise. The lawmakers are a bunch of fucking cowards. They should be pulling a forceful dismantling of this administration and call in the military.
Get Mattis on their side and put every single republican lawmaker om public trial.

Truth. It needs to be happening all across this country.
Fuck protesting. It's not going to make these folks in the white house or anywhere else stop what they're doing or be held accountable. Enough playing nice.
Plus the Democrats need to get on this pronto like Plasma Reus mentioned.

Their asses are going to trial if enough people make a noise. People should take to the streets and demand republican blood and riot over this shit.

He didn't just discuss the sanctions
He said "don't worry we got this".
Which explains the very calm reaction from Moscow if I remember they wished everyone happy holidays

Yea.
Democrat supporters need to realise the power they have. Democrat lawmakers themselves wont do anything. They tend to take part in whatever major movement happens. If millions of people marched together to demand public trials for this administration, democrat lawmakers would have no choice.
Instead of begging republicans to not harm americans and oppress americans, it's time to go out and demand republican fucking heads.

And nothing will happen. Investigating him is just FBI job security and platitudes.

How this is all real I don't even
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the carrier of the plague. You have unbarred the gates of Rome to him."

Very clever.
Could this be used to maybe get rid of Pence? I recall him playing oblivious to a question I think about Russian involvement when pressed and I hope the dems can Impeach him so the Trump safety net they hoped for fails them. They need to be forced to own all of Trump's actions.
I'm not clever enough, what does it represent?
I'm dumb, I don't understand it :/ I get there is a deformed svastika under the prohibition sign, but the rest?

There has been a push to not refer to Trump by his name, or President, because that's what he gets off on. Instead refer to him as 45 (45th president). The image shows the number 45 drawn in the style of swastika.

If Trump could read, you better believe we'd be hearing about this on Twitter.

You're a big guy.
Maybe that was what Trump was referring to when he said 'I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT'?
This seems to have flown under the radar mostly, but Trump has already removed one of the sanctions Obama put on Russia in December. Tellingly, it was a sanction put on the FSB itself.
