I feel so embarrassed reading that. He sounds like Jessie on Saved by the Bell.

So we have a sitting United States President saying he takes a former KGB agent at his word and not the intelligence community that risks their lives for the country he claims to love so much? 

 

THEN said KGB agent says that he was never asked about election meddling so the U.S. President was lying and blowing hot air as usual. 

 

I hope the “economic anxiety” and “she said deplorable so she’s just as bad” votes were worth it.

I saw some discussion on Twitter that that's part of the reason Virginia was such a definitive vote for Northam. VA is filled with Republicans who are NatSec workers and Trump is running down the work they do.

well, he then backtracked after he got blasted,  now saying he believes the "current" leadership of the FBI and CIA. too late now....you've just pissed off two intel. and law enforcement agencies by taking the word of a ex-KGB agent over them. Good luck staying in office and out of jail Donnie.

To me, it sounds as if the "conversation" between Trump and Putin went down like this:

 

TRUMP: Say, Vlad, did you interfere with the election?

PUTIN: Nope.

T: You sure?

P: Yep.

T: Okay.

 

Real or not, it's the most absurd thing ever.

Sean Hannity lost Keurig as a sponsor!!!

If this Keurig boycott goes the way of the other alt-right/gop boycotts, a lot of other people are going to be purchasing Keurigs this holiday season!

They are! People have said they have seen Keurig's that are sold out already LMAO

I would think his disgusting defense of Roy Moore would chase sponsors away all on its own. In a just world, anyway. 

 

Speaking of that, the polls from Alabama look pretty close, although polls are usually very off these days so it doesn't mean anything.

Really??

 

It might be too early to play this, but how often do I get to play this for Sean Hannity?

I've always wanted one. Looks like it's time.

 

Was it Carl or Khan who said people would be more likely to vote for Moore after the allegations came out?

Actually, Carl said it, and I just agreed.

Trump’s ASEAN Summit Handshake May Be His Most Ridiculous Yet
