Just a distraction from the real news, guys

It's Kushner.

What if the mideast trip is a giant effort to get Kushner out of the country?

So the White House isn't even denying that the President of the US admitted to obstruction of justice? What a time to be alive.

 

[DietRob]

"He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said

Also, a near text book example of obstruction of justice.

LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP!
LOCK HIM UP!

 

[smokeymicpot]

Nope, its the wonderboy Jared. I'm willing to bet. The guy is up to eyeballs in debt and failed to discole meeting with Russians just like Sessions.

Jared is the only thing that makes sense.

 

[Plinko]

It's fucking done.

This is straight up obstruction then.

Why why why why why did he say it out loud on the record to the Russians?!?!?!

I'm reeling from the sheer stupidity of this.

No, no, no...it was a "tactic!" Don't you see? He was luring them into a false sense of security!

 

[Lord Fagan]

Totally Kush.

 

[Felix Lighter]

No ways to spin this. The GOP should just stick their tongue out and give the press the finger as a response. They are holding the Country hostage to maintain control as long as possible if they do nothing about this.

 

[To Far Away Times]

While I hate the position Trump has put the country in, I have to say the daily megatons are quite entertaining.

 

[shiba5]

Sessions isn't a white house official. This would be like... Miller or Bannon or Priebus or something.

I want it to be Kush so much.

 

[Horns]

And he'll give a couple more conflicting reasons why he did that in the coming weeks. The dude is an idiot.

 

[goodcow]

I was in the middle of the movie The Towering Inferno when all this news broke out.

I'm just saying.

How is that movie? I've been meaning to watch it.

Didn't he ban journalists from following on Air Force One?

 

[Akuun]

It's fucking done.

This is straight up obstruction then.

Why why why why why did he say it out loud on the record to the Russians?!?!?!

I'm reeling from the sheer stupidity of this.

He probably thought the Russians would give him a good pat on the head for it.

 

[Boke1879]

I know Trump has been able to skate by with a lot but I truly don't understand why it's not a bigger deal that he has, both publicly and privately, said that he fired Comey because of the investigation.

Yup. He's has openly admitted why he did it.

 

[chekhonte]

Bannon, unfortunately, is the least likely to be caught up in this

Just knowing about it and not reporting it, and lying about not knowing about it is enough.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Another day, another clusterfuck.

 

[Herr Schwarz]

This whole ordeal will ensure a democrat majority for years and years if they play it right.

You have Amazon Prime? You can get a 6 month free subscription, which I'd personally recommend.

Didn't know about this!! Bless you! Plus after the trial it's only $4 a month.

 

[Chris Murphy]

It's pretty obvious it's Conway. She hates the man.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I'm officially putting, "That wasn't just stupid, that was fucking Trump stupid" into my lexicon going forward.

 

[DietRob]

Apparently they timed these to drop just as AF1 took off. Imagine being trapped on there with Trump right now.

Oh, this is brilliant. Is he able to tweet from AF1?

I hope reporters are able to. There has got to be some screaming and yelling going on. I live for Trump being miserable so I want to hear some audio.

 

[Prompto]

In other news, Trump's approval rating drops to lowest since inauguration in Reuters poll.

 

[RDreamer]

It's Kushner.

That's my guess.

 

[hydruxo]

I've watched CNN more in the last two weeks than I have in my entire life because this shit has been so crazy

Everyday there's are multiple bombshells, it's amazing

 

[tuffy]

I could've sworn Trump already said that he fired Comey to make the investigation go away at one point, before backpedaling and spouting some other bullshit reasons.

 

[Trojita]

I think the thread title is screwing people up.

Pence isn't a Senior White House Advisor, he's the vice President.

Kushner IS a Senior White House Advisor, his literal role is Senior Advisor to the President of the United States which is interchangeably called "Senior White House Advisor"

Kushner IS a Senior White House Advisor, his literal role is Senior Advisor to the President of the United States which is interchangeably called "Senior White House Advisor"

Reince Priebus is not an advisor. Priebus is The Chief of Staff.

Steve Bannon has a new position that was recently created by Trump called "Chief Strategist". Whether this could be called a Senior Advisor position is anyone's guess, but it is technically closer to and comparable to Chief of Staff.

Edit: Wrong thread.

Well.thats all they need

Man that meeting in the oval office is really something now if you add it all up:

- meets with Lavrov and Kislyak in the oval office
- no US press allowed, only photos of Russian state press
- talks about him firing the FBI director
- calls him a nut job
- thinks the investigation will calm down now
- leaks classified info WTF

What a historic clusterfuck of a meet

Mole Hunt!

Story broke JUST AFTER Air Force One took off.

PLANE RIDE FROM HELL EVERYBODY.

[KingK]

So the White House isn't even denying that the President of the US admitted to obstruction of justice? What a time to be alive.

I mean, why even bother denying it? Republicans are the only ones who can touch him at all, and the absolute most any of them will do is be "concerned" while bending over to deflect and protect him.

Kushner was also reportedly the one who Trump was mad at for convincing him to fire Comey.

 

[Neuromancer]

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

You should make T-shirts/bumper stickers.

You're welcome.

 

[liquidtmd]

It's just efficient. There's only so many hours in the day, Spicer can't have a unique response for every act of treason Trump commits. This is like Branching Dialogue Trees 101.

Spicer has run out of variations of the same response so now is taking multiple arrows to the knee

Nothing will come of her email anxiety.

Your forgot the part where he shared classified information with a hostile government.

 

[VeryGooster]

How is that movie? I've been meaning to watch it.

It's pretty long but I love Paul Newman and Steve McQueen so it's enjoyable to watch for me. It's like 70s Die Hard

Wow, 23% disapproval among Republicans? Maybe the GOP will actually do something now.

Ok, probably not.

Obama has to be crying and shitting himself right now
