Idiot? That's not being excellent and you guys thrive on wanting to think those that done think like you are. Remember...you are the one that disowned people because they don't think like you. That's messed up.

This guy makes Eminence look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Must be a wild coincidence that all the Trump supporters seem to be grammatically challenged.

I think you're supposed to say "I hope you take your meds", so it's not seen as being a directive.

There are so many lessons I'm learning from our President that I can't wait to teach to my young children to make them into better American citizens and good people.

An Alabama man whose brain was ravaged by severe amnesia is somehow able to function in an extremely demanding legal job, leading neurologists reported on Tuesday.

The man, whom neurologists are calling a “medical mystery,” has performed highly exacting tasks in one of the country’s top legal positions despite having virtually no short- or long-term memory.

Dr. Davis Logsdon, the chairman of the neurology department at the University of Minnesota Medical School, said that the Alabaman’s brain “defies explanation.”

“In all the medical literature, we have never seen an example of someone capable of holding down such a high-powered job while having no memory whatsoever of people he met, things he said, places he has been, or thoughts he has had,” Logsdon said. “It’s the stuff of science fiction.”

Never did. But why would you pretend to engage in an honest discourse?

Too cowardly to address a situation in earnest today?

Or too much a simpleton, since the actually truth of the situation has been discussed in great detail?

Sorry people's nuanced actual  lives don't matter to you and your crowd as you'd rather distort the reality to benefit your cause, trying to even insult others based on your lies about the situation

It takes a special lack of character to do that. Yet here you and Toe are.

Nuanced, cowardly, simpleton, and honest discourse in one post.  All you're missing is critical thinking.

 
Read this online, says it much better than I could 

The recent declarations in Congressional testimony that a witness would prefer not to answer, or that the president might later want to invoke executive privilege, have no basis in law. 

But it's not about the law. It's about raw power. It's high-level witnesses telling Congress: you can't touch me. The GOP controls Congress, so you won't be able to cite me for contempt. Sessions controls the DOJ, so you won't be able to prosecute me for perjury or obstruction. There's nothing you can do about it, so f--- you. 

They're openly saying that law only matters when one has to power to back it up -- and nobody but their friends has that power.  This is extraordinarily dangerous for the rule of law in America. And the rule of law IS America, or at least our very best idea of it. Without equal justice under the law, we're a banana republic where anything goes if you have the power. Once that lesson is internalized -- and it probably has been already -- terrible things lie ahead.

Yeah, so Trump has found a loophole in executive privilege where it can be effectively used to prevent someone from testifying without asserting it, by simply withholding whether you assert it or not.

If it's always pending, folks will always refuse to answer in case he does assert it.  This is just slapping the rule of law squarely across the face, spitting in its eye, and stomping on its foot.

Biggest coward/snowflake on the board calling others that is rich, felt the need to reply. You deserve to be ridiculed as long as you run your big mouth. You won't escape that pathetic post anytime soon. 

Enjoy your evening.

And to think friends of mine downplayed the correlation between trump and Andy Jackson.

Help me understand then.  In your opinion, lying about an affair with an intern is equivalent to lying about Russia?   I'll agree both are bad.

Look it Trump lies about Russia under oath I hope he gets impeached.  Let's see how this plays out as there simply is no proof of his involvement yet.

Thanks for posting that. The fact that the chief protector of justice in the country (other than the president) is participating in these subversive and defiant actions is as scary as it gets. Now that they've realized -- proven -- they're beyond reproach, I can't say I'm anything less than terrified. 

 
McCain is going senile, but I thought he actually got some key concessions from Sessions (It reads better than it sounded):

In a nutshell, for those that don't want to read, McCain essentially called out Sessions for his participation, or lack thereof, in the Armed Forces Committee - which was the ostensible reason for meeting Kislyak.  McCain pointed out that Sessions did not raise any concerns with the Russians over the interference with the election, or interference in Syria - or any other issues that had been a concern in the US Government.  So what did Sessions talk about - in his capacity as Senator - "I don't recall"

MCCAIN: Over the last few weeks the administration has characterized your previously undisclosed meetings with Russia ambassador Kislyac as meetings you took in your official capacity as a U.S. Senator and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. As chairman of the that committee, let me ask you a few questions about that. At these meetings did you raise concerns about Russia invasion of Ukraine or annexation of Crimea?

SESSIONS: I did, Senator McCain, and I would like to follow up a little bit on that. That's one of the meetings -- that's one of the issues that I recall explicitly. The day before my meeting with the Russian ambassador, I’d met with the Ukrainian ambassador, and I heard his concerns about Russia, and so I raised those with Mr. Kislyak, and he gave, as you can imagine, not one inch. Everything they did, the Russians had done, according to him was correct, and I remember pushing back on it, and it was a bit testy on that subject.

MCCAIN: Knowing you on the committee, I can't imagine that. Did you raise concerns about Russia's support for President Bashar Al Assad and his campaign of indiscriminate violence against his own citizens including his use of chemical weapons?

SESSIONS: I don't recall whether that was discussed or not.

MCCAIN: Did you raise concerns about Russia's interference in our electoral process or interferences of the electoral processes cause of our allies?.

SESSIONS: I don't recall that being discussed.

MCCAIN: At those meetings, if you spoke with Ambassador Kislyak in your capacity as a member of the Armed Services Committee you presumably talked to him about Russia-related security issues that you have demonstrated as important to you as a member of the committee?

SESSIONS: Did I discuss security issues --

MCCAIN: I don't recall you as being particularly vocal on such issues.

SESSIONS: Repeat that, Senator McCain, I'm sorry.

MCCAIN: The whole Russia-related security issues that you demonstrated is important to you as a member of the committee, did you raise those with him?

SESSIONS: You mean such issues as nuclear issues, or?

MCCAIN: Yeah. In other words, Russia-related security issues, in your capacity as the chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, what Russia-related security issues did you hold hearings on or otherwise demonstrate a keen interest in?

SESSIONS: We may have discussed that. I just don't have a real recall of the meeting. I may, I was not making a report about it to anyone. I just was basically willing to meet and see what he discussed.

MCCAIN: And his response was?

SESSIONS: I don't recall.

This is the part that gets me.  I can sort of understand not recalling if the Mayflower meeting was just a flyby.  It's a hell of a lot less likely that I'd "forget" what was talked about in my office or at the RNC.  

One other interesting point, since he's on the NSC, have they not discussed Russian interference at any point in the past 5 months?

KING: Do you believe the Russians interfered with the 2016 elections?

SESSIONS: It appears so. The intelligence community seems to be united in that, but I have to tell you, senator king, I know nothing but what I've read in the paper. I've never received any details, briefing on how hacking occurred or how information was alleged to have influenced the campaigns.

This is a photo - allegedly - of Sessions preparing his testimony

That was the statement I was referring to.  I just find it incredible that he's never read any government produced document on the 2016 election or been in a meeting when it was discussed.
