Michael T. Flynn told President Trump’s transition team weeks before the inauguration that he was under federal investigation for secretly working as a paid lobbyist for Turkey during the campaign, according to two people familiar with the case.
Despite this warning, which came about a month after the Justice Department notified Mr. Flynn of the inquiry, Mr. Trump made Mr. Flynn his national security adviser. The job gave Mr. Flynn access to the president and nearly every secret held by American intelligence agencies.

Can I take a moment to talk about this shit that happened with Turkish diplomats?
They ATTACKED OUR CITIZENS. Because of diplomatic immunity, they can't be charged with a crime. Instead, they need to be THROWN THE FUCK OUT OF THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.
Has that even happened yet?

Flynn left little doubt about the answer. Not only did he remain loyal to President Trump; he indicated that he and the president were still in communication. “I just got a message from the president to stay strong,†Flynn said after the meal was over, according to two sources who are close to Flynn and are familiar with the conversation, which took place on April 25.

Well, when the US Marshals show up and drag his ass to Capitol Hill, he will talk then I guess.

Something's up in Times Square - car went out of control & ran over some people.
Cops & rescue are all over the place now. I hope this is just an accident and not something like the attacks in Europe that look eerily similar.

I thought Times Square was closed to vehicles?
It's breaking news now, btw.

Well at least that much is known.
Spicer said he's briefed the Preznitwit on the situation. Hopefully he keeps his damn mouth shut.

I'm surprised no one here mentioned the Paul Ryan conversation that came out last night that indicated the GOP leadership knew Trump was in bed with the Russians before the convention. It does seem like the whole party leadership needs to go down with the Trump administration.

If WaPo really does have tapes of that conversation, at the very least McCarthy is DONE.

If true, this is FRICKIN ILLEGAL. Trump does not have Congressional authorization to attack Syria, a country that has not attacked US. https://t.co/5cf7gBVwC7

According to Rolling Stone, Chris Cornell hanged himself. What the fuck?
“At 12 a.m. [local time], we received a 911 call from the MGM Grand Casino Hotel,†Detroit Police director of media relations told Variety. “It appears as though a family friend was checking up on Cornell at his wife’s request. He went to hotel and discovered him unresponsive on the bathroom floor. Police made the location with EMS, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
