Regarding Flynn -
The chatter on r/conservative can very telling - when it seems shit's hitting the fan over there, when they're losing their minds then I know we might see some changes. Unfortunately - that's rare. Even with the daily Trump stuff.
Scrolling through the subreddit headlines - jeez - the sheer number of 'intolerant liberal / I'm so persecuted for my conservative views' posts is pretty vomit-inducing. I'm as sick of this as I am of hearing 'nazi' from 'the other side'. The persecution complex on r/conservative is like watching a William F. Buckley video or reading his rant against Yale. I mean holy shit - you've got the house, the senate and the executive. The persecution complex is just absurd - and it stops discussion of issues. Actually the two party system stops discussion of actual issues. But I've already discussed my take on that.
Anyhoo - here's the post I'm talking about:
This is the leading post on the Flynn matter right nowFor the lazy:
Headline: "Defense Secretary James Mattis Reacts to Flynn Resignation: ‘Frankly, This Has No Impact’"

For those wondering, Flynn is not part of the Pentagon. He is a White House staffer that never worked under Mattis at any point.

That's not the narrative I hear on CNN about a man who was blackmailed by the Russians into being a Spy informant to undermine our democracy. xD

He still does get classified intel, however. He's just not part of the Pentagon.

What does this have to do with Mattis' comments. Flynn doesn't deserve to be in any part of government anymore. AFAIC, these actions are worse than Emailgate.

He's joking man.
SmallsMT_02 [score hidden] 3 hours ago
I know, but his joking implies that he thinks Flynn isn't involved with Russia.

He probably thinks Trump has nothing to do with Russia, idk about Flynn. I thought it was funny

I think CNN reported that James Bond had dinner with Putin last week.

Flynn though he could fight Mattis and Pence at the same time.
Whoops.
