OFFS.

The Madman and Shouty Spice are screaming about how the real story is "leaks" of classified information.

And yet we have the President at Mar A Lago this past week reacting to the North Korean missile launch in front of a bunch of random Gatsbyesqe party-goers?

This is theater of the absurd.

...Why the DNC email leaks were good "because the public knows now." But these leaks aren't good?

That's what repubs said.

Where Rosemary is crying while all the horrible old satanists, smiling and popping flashbulbs, gather around her and Satan Jr. in his crib. Like Rosemary we are really fucked.

Flynn lied about a perfectly legal discussion?

The precedent was 'instinctively' sure of the legality? - and his White House counsel confirmed it?

Pure Nixonian absurdity!

that showed the torture that were the problem.

With Trump, it isn't the collusion with a foreign power that is the problem, it's talking about the collusion that is the problem.
