It's Friday

Well, it doesn't matter, it's just another Trump twitter day.

[quote]So General Michael Flynn’s life can be totally destroyed while Shadey James Comey can Leak and Lie and make lots of money from a third rate book (that should never have been written). Is that really the way life in America is supposed to work? I don’t think so![/quote]

So, writing (or falsely taking credit for writing) a book, and making money off it, is not what life in American is all about?

Trump must have been living in some other country, or some other universe.

That's, however, is secondary, to the Flynn thing. Flynn was working on behalf of foreign agents, abusing power, to make money, and lying about it. Worse, he was the National Security Advisor. Trump thinks this is OK?

Who recently pardoned Scooter Libby?

How would Trump know what's in Comey's book? About the only thing he reads are magazines typically found under a teenagers mattress.

He knows, because this is the summary Fox gave him @frequentlyme

@Northwest Yah, heavens forbid he actually read anything... I'm half way through it and I find it a fascinating look into the mind of man with a high set of standards, who has long battled the body politic, and of course, his own shortcomings. An interesting read.

I wish Trump was living in another country ...

Anybody want him? Anybody?

It's good to be reminded of his shenanigans.

@easypeasy Over a year later, your comment still rings true. I can think of a few countries, including one run by a wannabe czar! 😂
Dissecting the substance of Trump's tweets and his hyopcrisy really exausting sometimes.

The thing is, the message, i.e., my enemies are bad and I'm on your side still works for his base.

Capitalism at work, and its most ardent devotee should understand that.

Of course, he does just so long as he's the one benefiting from it.

Scooter's pardon was probably the right thing to do.

Trump did it for the wrong reasons.

As for Flynn and the rest, they need to stop talking to the freaking Russians. That includes Democrats, too.

@beckyromero Thank you, once more, for re-posting quotes from Judith Miller, to prove nothing.

You don't know anything about me, so I suggest you not go there.

[quote]why in the world would you "take the stand"?[/quote]

The question is why he did not take the stand. While Armitage and Cheney may be equally guilty, it does not absolve Libby. He would not take the stand, because he will further perjure himself.

@Northwest [quote]The question is why he did not take the stand.[/quote]

Libby never leaked Plame's name. The prosecutor [b]WANTED[/b] him to perjure himself by testifying that he leaked her name. That's why he never took the stand. He would have been forced to answer that question. If he truthfully answered, "No," he would have been hit with another perjury charge. If he [b]LIED[/b] and said "Yes" that would have been perjury as well. Since the prosecutor [b]KNEW[/b] that wouldn't have been the truth as he knew Libby didn't leak Plame's name.

If you fear the government is already wrongly prosecuting you and [b]WANTS[/b] you to perjure yourself by wrongfully testifying about something you did [b]NOT[/b] do, maybe [b]YOU[/b] can explain why someone in that position would take the stand?

This is what infuriated Cheney so much, that President Bush only commuted Libby's sentence instead of a issuing a full pardon. Of course, Bush didn't have the hindsight about Judith Miller's discovery since that came after he left office.

We've seen it over and over. When the government doesn't have enough evidence to initially convict someone, they force them to testify over and over and then nail them for perjury. People aren't computer with brains than never make mistakes in recalling minute details, as Judith Miller later recounted.

This is where I say, I’m done with the hair splitter @beckyromero

From the facts in the public domain, while it appears Comey’s ethics morals and behavior are far from stellar, Flynn’s are worse for sure. Has Flynn written a book yet?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The view is one example lol @Northwest
Northwest · M
@jackjjackson sorry, I don’t watch the view
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Me either. It’s part of Comey’s Book tour. @Northwest

Obsess much
SteelHands · 61-69, M
American voters need to stop forgetting that writing a book is not like being under oath, the longer they hold the office the crookeder they get, and they don't really work for us all that much.

They all do it for themselves.

@SW-User Here's a hint for you, if you don't care, don't read the politics section, but mostly though, don't pretend you don't care, by taking the time to post some stupid meme, to prove you don't care.
