Looking for meaning in GAF
The exasperation on Pence's face, lol
So many people in the White House have that "this fucking guy" body language when around Trump, and not in the good way.

I seriously doubt anyone likes Trump. Everyone just tolerates him at best.
 

Man... Pence is a rollercoaster of hilarity in this GIF. His half-hearted reach to keep Trump from leaving while also attempting to maintain absolute composure for the cameras. His expression after his arm reach fails. His subsequent hesitation where you can tell he's thinking, "Is any of this worth it?" His eventual resignation and awkward lunge forward to keep Trump from leaving. And, finally, after being waved away, the barely concealed rage of his last nod right before he puts his head down and Charlie Browns off to his thankless task.

As someone who has no idea what's going on, why and what is happening? Can some give me a TLDR please?

i took "no idea" pretty literally and a wall o text happened. the last paragraph pertains to this thread directly.

a number of trump administration and campaign related people have quit their jobs based on suspicious connections to Russia or because they were caught lying about suspicious connections to Russia in legally-significant ways. Flynn, formerly Trump's national security advisor, is the highest-ranking dude who's done this so far.

The FBI recently confirmed that the Russian government took action to influence the election in trump's favor and that they are carrying out an investigation to determine if anyone from the trump campaign or republican party colluded with Russia on purpose, and who the responsible individuals are.

there's committees in both the house of representatives and senate whose specialty is intel and in theory they should both be investigating this as well. currently, the senate is going full-speed-ahead in a bipartisan manner, while Nunes, an R congressman from California, has more or less brought the house investigation to a stop and is currently doing a tremendous job of seeming like he'll be revealed to be on the list of compromised individuals.

between the Senate investigation and the FBI investigation, it's no longer possible for the Republican party to dismiss this as some Democratic smear campaign. Flynn attempted to cut a deal with the FBI to assist the investigation or future legal case in some way in return for immunity from whatever charges they may want to bring at him in the future. He's been told to take a hike thus far. It seems that the investigators don't believe that he's got anything they need.

It's the Pence pause after he turns around to collect the paper. He was so thinking fuck this you Russian bastard before walking on.

Pence is thinking right now about leaking stuff to hang Trump I bet.

Trump does not look healthy.

Dude's 70 years old, and he's taking one of the most stressful jobs on the planet that turns out to not be like running a business as he thought while also having him and his administration investigated by the Senate and FBI along with whatever pressure the Russians could possibly be putting on him (such as if they do have blackmail material).
