While I'm glad it didn't pass, it's still disturbing that the reason the Freedom Caucus rejected the bill was that it wasn't draconian enough. It makes me worried what they'll try to push next time.

The GOP seems a lot like a dog that actually caught the car it was chasing, much to its own surprise, and has no idea what to do with it now.

It seems as if they're still doing what most dogs would do, by sniffing it, barking madly at it for 20 minutes, then pissing on it and wandering off.

As far as I can tell they're still in the barking stage.

They're pushing FREEDOM, comrade.  It's in the name.

Meanwhile, Mike Flynn discussed with Turkey about how to kidnap Gulen while on Turkey's payroll

https://www.wsj.com/articles/ex-cia-director-mike-flynn-and-turkish-officials-discussed-removal-of-erdogan-foe-from-u-s-1490380426

QuoteThe discussion late last summer involved ideas about how to get Fethullah Gulen, a cleric whom Turkey has accused of orchestrating last summer's failed military coup, to Turkey without going through the U.S. extradition legal process, according to Mr. Woolsey and those who were briefed.

Mr. Woolsey told The Wall Street Journal he arrived at the meeting in New York on Sept. 19 in the middle of the discussion and found the topic startling and the actions being discussed possibly illegal.

The Turkish ministers were interested in open-ended thinking on the subject, and the ideas were raised hypothetically, said the people who were briefed. The ministers in attendance included the son-in-law of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the country's foreign minister, foreign-lobbying disclosure documents show.

Mr. Woolsey said the idea was "a covert step in the dead of night to whisk this guy away." The discussion, he said, didn't include actual tactics for removing Mr. Gulen from his U.S. home. If specific plans had been discussed, Mr. Woolsey said, he would have spoken up and questioned their legality.

It isn't known who raised the idea or what Mr. Flynn concluded about it.

You mean the guy, a security council member IIRC, that called a pretty dodgy news conference and personally informed the Executive upon hearing confidential information concerning secondary intel gathering as a craven and whorish attempt to give Trump something that might be misconstrued as leverage re "Obama tapped my wires". That Nunes?

Oh...

Oh... myyyy. Something tells me this is going to be the biggest clusterfuck in modern history when the dust settles... hopefully not fallout dust.

I loved that movie and that was one of my favorite scenes in particular.

And now here we are... take in all that the existence of this particular video and channel implies as a whole. It took me a minute to absorb it. Wish I hadn't, but here.. we.. go!

That, combined with naming names when shaming hard-line conservatives for disloyalty, and the laundry-list of derp Trump seems to carry with him, should make for the best/shortest US Presidency EVER.

It just keeps highlighting the idiots incompetence in deal making and business in general.

It's like he has no concept about how invoices work. My best guess is that the tit writes off the refusal to pay against the national debt or something, therefore showing something. Possibly uses it as a pretext to withdraw from NATO?

Betting a fiver that the breakdown is ludicrous because there's no way that figure was reached by someone working with facts or reality. It's got to include a stupid rate of compound interest and other random bullshit. Even then it's still almost certainly wrong by several orders of magnitude.

If you're trying to drive a wedge between the US and its European allies, it makes perfect sense.

Xooxe

Does he have the power to pull out of NATO, or is it just a stunt?
