Flynn has now been shit-canned by two different Presidents, gotta be a first in American history.

Though, I'm sure he'll have no problem making a ton of money in the military industrial complex.

Or as an InfoWars/Breitbart contributor.

Had it been Hillary (aka the Godfather) she would make sure to cover her tracks so that she isn't implicated. I don't think Donald is that smart.

This administration has shown such a lack of understanding of the law I would bet they were in full contact and making promises without any thought that it was illegal. Only when someone questioned it did they start to scramble.

The National Review came out against him today which gives some GOPers cover to withhold their votes.

Looks like Puzder is going to withdraw. Good to see a few Republican Senators stand up to Trump.

Another (temporary) break from winning, I guess.

[crashintonickdm]

This administration is actually a circus. Does this dude even last 4 years?

Would Trump and Reince have to refund all his money?

[thebridge15]

what was the reason he cited for withdrawing?

[cazzie34]

Hurt feelings

[cazzie34]

But seriously, he saw the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to get confirmed. And that video of his wife talking about how he abused her came out today as well.

The video was probably the breaking point but it wasn't looking too good before that.

Conflicts of interest, domestic violence, undocumented worker, complaints, small wiener

$5 says Trump threatens to primary any R senator that votes agains him.

I don't think he even finished all of his confirmation paperwork yet.

I was hoping it would be DeVos to get the hammer but this guy would be better actually.

I think this is how most of America feels. We really don't care if it's 1 or 2 states, we just want the region/world to be as stable as possible.

Except that Sec Mattis has consistently stated that a 2 state solution is the only viable way for peace and that it was the administrations official position on inauguration day.

But Trump didn't want to say that, because Israel has been explicit in saying that they'll only accept a 1-state solution.

So Trump didn't want to upset Netanyahu, so he gave that non-answer. But there are much more diplomatic ways to say that.

I just thought it was funny, and "Trumpian" - don't necessarily have an issue with the position of having no position

[thebridge15]

I have abjectly no clue what I would support w/r/t israel and palestine so I can't fault trump for not saying anything about it

How can the most powerful nation on earth help to be part of the solution if it has no position on the issue?

I don't fault him for not taking a position (even if your Secretary of Defense is known to back a 2-state solution)

I just found the way he said it to be comical; he speaks like a cartoon impression of himself sometimes.

He's always "looking at" things. Hearing "more and more" about things. Trumps dialect just sounds funny sometimes

[cazzie34]

Trump talks like he's Vincent Adultman from Bojack Horseman.

This baffles me, and not just with this election and not in regard to either party. Everyone has a TV, and most people have the internet, so people don't need campaign stops to get information. So why the fuck does the vote of some people hinge on whether or not the candidate came to their physical geographic location?

Maybe some voters are as snowflakey as Trump and need a candidate to show up to their location to validate there own sense of worth. Other than that, I have no idea.

My best guess is for people in, say, Wisconsin, the fact that Hillary ignored them while Trump actually took the time to stop there and talk to them, could play a role in the voting decision.

Future elections will hinge on live streams.
