Show of hands-- who posted this fake news on Facebook?  And didn't Zuckerberg say he was gonna protect us against this stuff?

Oh, NOW you care about it? None of this is fake news, by the way. The networks and newspapers are reporting on a memo from a private investigation firm. CNN isn't leading the nightly news with "TRUMP PEES ON RUSSIAN WHORES, WE HAVE PROOF!"

Spicey is just launching trolls on his bitter HARD LEFT enemies. Nothing he says is to be taken in earnest.

I do not at ALL support Tillerson, but I will say that his testimony for the most part said all the right things, and said them in a very reasonable, sane manner.
Of course he said all the right things.  That's what intelligent and manipulative people do.

I know. It is refreshing to see people who bother these days. Speaks to possible competence.

Didn't know that.

Fuck, she is.

Putin really won. Xi must be so angry.

Xi is playing the long game.  Let's see how the rest of the 21st century plays out.

I'm not the only one thinking of how to game Trump tweets. Apparently, they set off trading algorithms too.

I feel bad for you guys.  Most of you seemed to have a lot riding on the Trump story. 

I'll pray for you (as a group, not individually-- hope that works).

Would still be a better POTUS than Mr. alt-Sociopath.

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Gotta work with what we got.  You prefer Vice President Umbilical McSuperfetus?

To Trump?  Sure.

I don't see what Xi has to be angry about? I mean, so... Putin is undermining a bunch of Western institutions and buying some influence. If we're looking at this purely in terms of geopolitical rivals then Xi is watching one of his rivals undermine another rival. Why would that bother him?

Spicey's projecting again.

No way.  I don't want to share my prayer with those other jerks.
