Can't say I'm surprised. You go on RT and get wined and dined with Putin and now...
RD and his singular interpretation of the US. Everyone else is WRONG!
James Madision, I strongly suspect, would disagree with you. But surely he doesn't understand the country.
ffsHe really is a fecking parody. Wasn't the speech in Poland the one where they bussed in Trump-supporters from around the country to satisfy the snowflake? Also, isn't it reported that he won't go to the UK because demonstrations against him are to be expected - how does that fit with "best reviews on foreign land"?
Indeed they've brought to Warsaw the most hardcore supporters of the nationalistic ruling party that are gullible enough to believe in the dumbest escapological conspiracy theory/theories that this country has ever heard of. They're organized within local clubs of a small, but national newspaper that is very closely-knitted and actually bankrolled by the aforementioned party. The Trump's speech was written by a Pole putting great emphasis on polish history so no wonder it was met with kind reception. Though to be fair that crowd when summoned didn't need much persuasion to cheer for this president since he meets target market's characteristics. He's bold, arrogant, hates liberals and left wing representatives, shits on political correctness and rides the anti-establishment wave. That's good enough for them even if at the same time he's elusive about NATO guarantees, plus more than reaches out to Russia, a country they fear like no other as well as blame Putin for the death of their beloved president in a plane crash (vide conspiracy theories).
It was to be heard in their reactions to Trump's words that they've resembled football fans more than a normal crowd.
Nice!
Does it mean "revenge" in german?
No. There's no proper translation, that's why everyone just uses the German word for it.
It's "laughing at someone others misfortune after you told him it's wrong or after he wronged you before".
Or both.
The alt right figureheads not happy that they've been put on this list. Includes people who have WH access and press credentials.

Wow!
Wow!
Please be true
15 months with 95% probability.
It's ok for them to attack others, label, etc. but what a bunch of snowflakes when the table is turned. Personally, I'd like to see a few them killed off. They offer nothing positive to humanity.
Classic bully mentality. Once punched back they melt
Interesting fortune cookie today. A single snowflake never feels responsible for an avalanche.
I think its pretty clear there were more meetings. The sense of familiarity in his e-mail chain indicated that it wasnt the 1st time.
Trump will fire Mueller within the next couple weeks as the investigation closes in on his financial dealings. They are laying the groundwork now. The best time to fire him may be in August when congress is in recess and everybody is away from Washington.
Constitutional crisis here we come.

He can't fire him. Rosenstein would have to do it, which he won't.
Fire Rosenstein, then appoint someone who will, Nixon style.
That would also be problematic as it would spur Congress to reestablish the special council statue which would take the entire thing out of Trump's control. His best shot would be to preemptively pardon himself and his immediate family members. That however still wouldn't spare him from impeachment.
The GOP won't lose the Senate before 2020. Impeachment is a pipe dream. If he doesn't want the gig anymore he'll cut deal with them to put Pence in, but McConnell and co. won't see a GOP president impeached if they can do something about it.
Whether Trump can fire him is not a matter of settled law.
But it's largely immaterial because even if he can't fire Mueller directly he can keep firing DoJ officials until one is willing to do so.
Trump can get rid of Mueller, one way or another. And it's only a matter of time until he does.
What has the GOP congress done to make you think they would do that?
The GOP are on the cusp of losing patience with Trump right now. McCain, Flake, Heller, Murkowski, Collins, Gardener, Burr, Grassley, Portman and a few others are on the fence with Trump. If things continue to spiral downward and it appears he is corrupt and unstable, then the Republicans will do what all politicians do....preserve themselves by way of impeachment or else get tarred with Trump's corruption before the next election cycle.
See my above post.
1. If Trump wants Mueller gone, he'll be gone. It's just a question of how many other people have to be fired/forced to resign to make that happen.
2. This would be a huge blunder by Trump, because Mueller would immediately find himself in charge of a Congressionally-mandated investigation with at least the same scope and a virtually unlimited budget. I'm not sure Trump would even have veto authority in that case, because Congress would claim it was within the scope of their inherent investigatory powers, and the courts would almost certainly agree (Congress' inherent investigatory authority is well-founded in settled law).

He can't fire him. The Deputy AG has to do it. Right now we know neither Rosenstein or Rachel Brand would do it, so Trump would have to do a Nixon...which he won't because it would start a chain of events resulting in the independent council statute getting reinstated. He's basically making all the necessary moves to eventually get check mated.
Looks like Spicer is nearly gone....
Yep. Republicans are already growing tired of Trump and the fact that he publicly threw Sessions under the bus when Sessions was his number 1 supporter during the campaign will be a massive wake up call for Republicans who think they couldn't possibly be next. In fact, Trump also trashed Rand Paul after the latest health care vote.
And yes, firing Mueller would only mean that Mueller would be reinstated under the independent council statute.
