The puke coverup is on. Adam Kinzinger on CNN

told Acosta that most presidents don’t read all the PDB plus a bunch of other assorted pooh-poohing of the scandal. They circled their wagons at their briefing this afternoon. Kinzinger needs his lying face slapped.

Acosta did a good job, asking tough questions. Kinzinger got more anxious and defensive as the interview went on. He obviously was the media sacrificial lamb after the briefing.

His "blame Steny Hoyer" was ridiculous and his excuses for why IMPOTUS didn't know were weak, at best.

They enabled Trump when he met with Putin "off-the-record." They enabled Trump when he publicly took Putin's word over the information from his own intelligence services. They enabled Trump when the Mueller report concluded that Putin had interfered in the 2016 election on Trump's behalf (a point which is often forgotten). They enabled Trump when he tried to put the squeeze on Ukraine for his own electoral benefit. They enabled Trump when his associates attempted to have the U.S. ambassador there assassinated. You think this was going to be some sort of straw that broke the camel's back? The G.O.P. is fully invested in Trump, and every decision they make to enable him only makes the next one all the easier. Right now, I'm wondering if we'll hear a peep in opposition should he lose in November and decide to declare a state of emergency to prolong his presidency indefinitely.

No, there's no group of wizards who are brainstorming or spit balling some plausible explanation for this ignoramus to push out of his sphincter-like mouth.

They just aren't smart enough.

It is because Vlad does not only have "Kompro" on Agent Orange but the WHOLE PARTY.

From the beginning it is the only thing that has made any sort of sense to me regarding why the Re-thuglicans always put up with Captain Dipshit's idiotic ass. Isn't it true that the Russians hacked the RNC too? If so, I would bet my last dollar that there is some serious shit that they have gathered on the whole party, every member - seriously would not shock me if there was "Kompro" on every single Re-thug.

Hey I'm not saying they definitely have something - I'm just saying....

But are they trying to sell that NO ONE with access to Babykins reads it either?

It’s his fucking job.

But we all know he was told.

That’s why we are hearing about it. Someone in the defense department has had enough.
