    Nunes is not a Useful Idiot for Russia. He actually knows exactly what he is doing. Like a villain in Homeland, he is doing everything possible to kill the Russian investigation. Paul Ryan can either remove him or be complicit.

    Holy crow this is bad. Nunes is trying to get top secret intelligence that will out a Russian source. His unethical crusade to stop Mueller could actually cost lives and irreparably damage US intelligence gathering efforts. This is nuts.

    Just to be clear, I never thought it was impossible for Nunes to go lower.

    We walked away from allies and withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Agreement. Yet strategically we should share complex problems. Fewer partners means fewer options. We are now alone on a more dangerous path with fewer options. We’ll see.

    Well, even I might say that this is just Bernie Bro kooks. A Kucinich vote is a political death wish.

    This thread railing on Elizabeth Warren for backing Cordray over Kucinich is epic. Warren is apparently a “corporatist” and “not a progressive” for this. What does this type of in-fighting mean for November?

    Don’t screw this up, Dems.

    In conversations with several top GOP strategists, nearly all conceded that the overwhelming Democratic enthusiasm they're facing this November is incredibly worrisome.

    This is going to be the big issue. In the end US sanctions are directed against Europe. If Europe resists and continues with deal Trump ends up with a futile gesture. This is an enormous issue for Atlantic Alliance.

    I suspect we'll be reading a lot more about blocking secondary sanctions in the months ahead. "the European Union will act to protect the legitimate interest of our companies ... with all the means of our disposal" (from last year)

    Whether or not it's a crime and however you characterize it, the President's fixer getting half a million from Russian through a dummy entity AFTER THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN is stupid in a way it would take a poet to capture. I cannot, as my daughter would say, even.

    Good news. But remember: two of the people were taken on Trump’s watch, and this handover is to keep him sweet for the summit.

    This just makes my head explode. Post-Iran Deal abandonment? You’ve got to be kidding me. Only a fool would trust the US to keep its word in a rogue state nuke deal now. First Kaddafi, now Iran. Are the Trump people really this checked from reality, this lost in Fox? Good christ
