Hmmmmm. Let's see here.

[LuckyCharms]

McCabe is forcibly released from his FBI position.

Republicans vote to release a GOP WRITTEN and CLASSIFIED memo which degrades the Justice Department and FBI in relation to their investigation into the Trump campaign's tie to Russia.

At the same time, the GOP voted down a Democratic effort to release a memo written by Democratic staffers that points out the inaccuracies in the GOP memo.

On the same day, the White House tells Congress that POTUS will not be enforcing Russian sanctions.

Fascist coup? Nah, seems legit to me.

[BlueJac]

1. Sure smells that way!

[Lulu KC]

2. And the Russian plane

flying so close to ours on the same day? Coincidence?

If we survive, it's going to be some movie.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Coincidence. Russian planes have done so many times before. Motive NOT to fly it same day.

Though 5 feet seems closer than the much more common 25-50 feet.

Russia has a motive to NOT do a stunt like that on the same day. So not connected.

When someone is giving you a gift or a payment, do not rile up their enemies.
When Trump is paying back Russia, Russia has a motive to not rile up the Trump-Russia watchers.

14. Could be Machiavellian though? For appearance

sake? Putinesque?

"Something happening here
what it is ain't exactly clear
...
Paranoia strikes deep
into your life it will creep
..."

[Lulu KC]

24. Indeed--Putinesque (I like the word)

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

I know it happens regularly, but this one was so close and the timing. The timing! Time will tell.

[lagomorph777]

23. The plane had to fly that close,

to accurately drop the huge bale of Roubles.

[annabanana]

3. How many STILL cannot see Donald "walks like a duck" for what he is?. . . n/t

[dchill]

8. Easy... The Russian government is now our friend!

It's the FBI that is now the enemy.

[uponit7771]

5. Yep, and the media doesn't cover the sanctions cause Clinton has nothing to do with it

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Here's the text I wrote last night:

Well,looks like this country is a thing of the past. McCabe driven out, fake FBI memo released, Dems blocked from countering, and no sanctions on Russia.

[unblock]

7. so apparently the biggest scandal about hillary's emails was

that she didn't hand them over to the russians.

how can we be a great puppet state if we don't coordinate with the mother country?

[brooklynite]

9. If there had been a "fascist coup" you wouldn't be writing about one.....

[LuckyCharms]

11. That depends on how you define coup.

because, as with most things, words have different definitions and different levels of extremes.

[brooklynite]

12. Describe a coup which allows a robust opposition voice.

[LuckyCharms]

13. No. n/t

[KPN]

17. 1991 -- Russia.

Attempted coup, so your point is correct. But it was a coup nevertheless ... as this appears to be. Will we be robust enough? I think so ... I hope so.

[pangaia]

21. The results, I think, do not appear in a few hours...

But I think it is happening now, has been since... well, 1973.

[FakeNoose]

10. What's stopping Senator Feinstein?

She should just release the Dems' ANSWER MEMO anyway. Fuck 'em.

[longship]

15. House, not Senate.

Ask Rep. Adam Schiff that question.

[FakeNoose]

16. Sure - Schiff should just release it

[Ligyron]

18. Yeah, let's all contact him!

[KPN]

19. No, lets all contact all of the Rs who sit on the

Intelligence committee, en masse. The Rd would go after Schiff for "treason" or something along those lines were he to do that. At a minimum, they would make the entire scandal about him, and find a way to expel him from the Committee and perhaps Congress. These are dangerous times. We need Schiff on the inside.

[oasis]

20. Evan McMullin, former CIA operations officer, came straight out

and said Putin's got to have something on Trump for him to not be taking proper action against Russian interference.

He's on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle.

[CapnSteve]

22. With every outrageous overreach by the GOP and Donnie Lil' Hands...

...the crest of the blue wave grows higher and higher!

Checks and balances are coming, my people! Picture "check" as in a hockey check; it makes me feel better!

Also, the pile of BS they are building is indicative of the pile of truth (evidence) that Mueller and company have built.

It is up to us, the power is in our hands. Vote Vote Vote!

[Skittles]

25. CORRECT

[triron]

26. MSM is of course silent on this (except Rachel).
