This is the dumbest post in the history of s2. Are you a doctor? It's downright ageist and discriminatory. It's irresponsible and immature conjecture. Wait let me check what else it is, I'll be right back.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I really think he's irrelevant and has been since the 70s, and sees this as a way to seem relevant again. The funny thing is that he's not, and he looks ridiculous saying what he does.
Bob Woodward, on the other hand, has been relevant all along. They don't just wheel him out to say "it's watergate 2.0". https://www.washingtonpost.com/inve...64dc781686f_story.html?utm_term=.4d7996ca1bb9 At the Pentagon, overpriced fuel sparks allegations — and denials — of a slush fund By Craig Whitlock and Bob Woodward May 20 at 8:59 PM The Pentagon has generated almost $6 billion over the past seven years by charging the armed forces excessive prices for fuel and has used the money — called the “bishop’s fund” by some critics — to bolster mismanaged or underfunded military programs, documents show. Since 2015, the Defense Department has tapped surpluses from its fuel accounts for $80 million to train Syrian rebels, $450 million to shore up a prescription-drug program riddled with fraud and $1.4 billion to cover unanticipated expenses from the war in Afghanistan, according to military accounting records. The Pentagon has amassed the extra cash by billing the armed forces for fuel at rates often much higher — sometimes $1 per gallon or more — than what commercial airlines paid for jet fuel on the open market. Under a bureaucracy that dates to World War II, the Defense Department purchases all of its fuel centrally and then resells it at a fixed price to the Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps and other customers, who pay for it out of their own budgets. The system is intended to reduce duplication and promote efficiency. The Defense Department is the largest single consumer of fuel in the world. Each year, it buys about 100 million barrels, or 4.2 billion gallons, of refined petroleum for its aircraft, warships, tanks and other machines. The practice of exploiting fuel revenue to plug unrelated gaps in the defense budget has escalated in recent years, prompting allegations — and official denials — that the accounts are being used as a slush fund.
reminds me of the 75 dollar toilet seat bolts the military purchased during the Viet Nam era....also very profitable to destroy expensive military equipment and replace it....this is an old problem that far predates 2015....we have a destroyer now that shoots rounds that cost over a million dollars apiece....
Just wow. This is the point. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...isnt-really-the-point/?utm_term=.bbe1cdabad66 Trump’s media coverage has been 4-to-1 negative — but that isn’t really the point
If you actually read the material that is involved in the investigation you'll find that there are concerns not so much about the Russian govt but the Russian Mob and lobbyists who laundered money in Trump Tower and Ukrainian and Turkish Trump dealings.
Trump has gone after the media for decades....he's not counterpunching...he's declared a war on them and so he's made his culture one of dismissing journalism as the enemy....the negative content of the first 100 days of this term are just mirrors of a twitter account and Trump went all out fueling disrespect for the press. Some journalists are counter punchers...some stay neutral. Funny thing about people....they erupt from time to time
Here's your sources. https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/04/08/russ-baker-talks-comedians-trump-russian-mafia-fbi/
Yes, he's declared war on them. If he's in the gutter, the media has responded by joining him there. They shouldn't, right?

You don't say that the press has been honest, just that they've been erupting because Trump started it. I see the "news" in the morning and it is like watching The View.
