And if that isn’t sufficiently scary, perhaps this is (from the same poll):
That’s right folks, a slim margin of Trump supporters apparently would like for Trump to have dictatorial powers. Too bad the poll didn’t ask whether they’d want that same courtesy granted to any President (like, say, a Democrat), but I’m sure they would, right? Right?
OK, ignorance fighting time. Help me understand the Flynn thing. I get that lying about the call is bad. It’s not the crime, it’s the cover up, and all that. But I’m not clear on why the original discussion would have been illegal if they did discuss the sanctions. Trump was widely expected to be soft on Russia, so telling the ambassador that they’d be revising the sanctions when they took office in a few weeks doesn’t seem like a big reveal. Undermining Obama is a dick move, and Trump is a Putin puppet, but I’m just not sure why Flynn telling the ambassador what we all kinda already knew is a scandal in and of itself. What am I missing?

So much for his great bizniz and managerial skillz.
Solicitor General candidate withdraws because Dems were mean to Sessions. Guess who’s next in line for the job? Kellyanne Conway’s husband. (I’m not making this up.)
