Courtesy of The Week:NUNES downplays PAPADOPOULOS' role in Trump campaign, claims he shouldn't have been investigated for drunkenly bragging about Russia having dirt on Clinton.— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 5, 2018

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) appeared on Fox & Friends on Monday to talk about the FBI's investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Specifically, he made some questionable claims downplaying the importance of President Trump's former foreign policy adviser, George Papadopolous, who has proved surprisingly essential to a swirl of controversy in Washington.
Papadopolous triggered the FBI's probe of the Trump campaign and Russia, thanks to a drunken conversation with an Australian diplomat in which he touted Russia's hacking efforts against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. He has also been indicted for lying to the FBI — but Nunes claimed that none of that really matters, because Papadopolous played such a minor role in the Trump campaign. In fact, "as far as we can tell, Papadopoulos … never even had met with the president," Nunes told host Brian Kilmeade.
That claim is untrue. Papadopoulos not only provoked the FBI probe, but he also edited foreign policy speeches for Trump and arranged meetings on the then-candidate's behalf with foreign leaders.
Oh, and there's also this picture.
It should also be noted that Trump himself tweeted this picture out back in March of 2016.
Or else he is just a compulsive liar, like his boss.
Devin may have brain issues from doing autoerotic asphyxiation too many times.
ReplyDeleteIs he rural ca and Portugal immigrant? young and stupid possibly.
DeleteThese people lie so much that they cant keep all their bullshit straight.
ReplyDeleteNo. Russia has some serious dirt on the GOP. That’s why they are terrified of mueller.
DeleteYour idol Elon Musk launched his Tesla into space successfully. That is soooo helpful for mankind.
ReplyDeleteYou are so stupid, it hurts to think we share any genetics as part of the same human race. 12:09. This launch had so little to do with the car.
DeleteMost powerful rocket launch ever? check. Most payload ever? Check.
Controlled landing and full recovery of two rocket stages? Check.
Which BTW, is the price of about 100 teslas at least.
lol. 2:09 thinks they 'is' smart.
Deletethis is by no means the most powerful rocket launch ever. much more powerful Saturn V rockets were used in the 60's and the 70's (that is going on the half century ago mark) to send astronauts to the moon.
Saturn V liftoff thrust: 7.6 mil lbs
Falcon Heavy liftoff thrust: 5 mil lbs
Saturn V payload: 260,000lbs
Falcon Heavy payload: 140,660lbs
12:09 is correct. Musk is becoming more and more like Howard Hughes. Remember the Spruce Goose?
2:56 is correct"
Delete"As of 2018, the Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful (highest total impulse) rocket ever brought to operational status, and holds records for the heaviest payload launched and largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit (LEO) of 140,000 kg (310,000 lb), which included the third stage and unburned propellant needed to send the Apollo Command/Service Module and Lunar Module to the Moon."
"The origins of the Saturn V rocket begin with the US government bringing Wernher von Braun along with about seven hundred German rocket engineers and technicians to the United States in Operation Paperclip, a program authorized by President Truman in August 1946 with the purpose of harvesting Germany's rocket expertise, to give the US an edge in the Cold War through development of intermediate-range (IRBM) and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). It was known that America's rival, the Soviet Union, would also try to secure some of the Germans.
Von Braun was put into the rocket design division of the Army due to his prior direct involvement in the creation of the V-2 rocket.[8] Between 1945 and 1958, his work was restricted to conveying the ideas and methods behind the V-2 to the American engineers.[citation needed] Despite Von Braun's many articles on the future of space rocketry, the US Government continued funding Air Force and Navy rocket programs to test their Vanguard missiles in spite of numerous costly failures. It was not until the 1957 Soviet launch of Sputnik 1 atop an R-7 ICBM capable of carrying a thermonuclear warhead to the US,[9][10] that the Army and the government started taking serious steps towards putting Americans in space.[11] Finally, they turned to von Braun and his team, who during these years created and experimented with the Jupiter series of rockets. The Juno I was the rocket that launched the first American satellite in January 1958, and part of the last-ditch plan for NACA (the predecessor of NASA) to get its foot in the Space Race.[12] The Jupiter series was one more step in von Braun's journey to the Saturn V, later calling that first series "an infant Saturn"

OK. Musk launched his beautiful beast of a rocket with his equally beautiful red roadster, space suited crash test dummy with Bowie playing on the high end stereo.....Mission Control payload heading to the sun.
DeleteThere is actually really nothing new that Musk has delivered to the world across the spectrum. There have been electric cars, total off grid solar/electric powered houses with battery packs, etc... all done before.
DeleteMaterials/material science and industrial capabilities have improved over the years but that is not due to Musk.
Musk is a carnival barker. He is a great salesman with a product to sell. And it is not all bad, it just isn't as genius or original as a lot of people realize. Just packaged nicely with Tesla or whatever stamped on it.
He is having a hard time retaining employees due to the stress and deadlines put upon them all the way from design to the production line. I have heard first hand some of the conditions and stress the employees face. Tesla seems over stretched, overvalued, and will likely eventually flop.
The car was "ballast." It was a stunt. Why use concrete blocks or whatever when you can use a shiny red Tesla? Publicity, my dear.
DeleteNext time you might consider staying silent rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt.
Pretty sure everyone understands it was a publicity stunt, including the OP, 'deary'... Musk even said so himself.
DeleteSo do you have any clue as to the waste of energy and materials as well as environmental destruction caused for a publicity stunt?
My guess is Nunes is compromised by the Russians, just like ALL of the Trumps, which also includes Jared Kushner.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the brainwashing of the 40's 50's and 60's. Fox news is for those that have zero common sense. They follow. They cheat lie and steal. They live for ignorance. They easily sway and are weak. Trump is their perfect avatar.
ReplyDeleteThey know they can lie and lie, and their dumb fuck base will continue to believe whatever is spoon fed to them. I always thought humans could be stupid, now I know for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat this country needs right now is a Democrat to stand up at a live Trump like today's round table event and say, With all due respect for the office you hold, Mr President, you're fucking nuts and a spineless windbag. Then watch Trump melt faster than the Bad Witch.
ReplyDeleteRight, because egomaniac T.Rump let' steh coffee boy have a place at the big boys table.
ReplyDelete"Or else he is just a compulsive liar, like his boss."
ReplyDeleteWho is his boss?

I was just thinking about this over the weekend. INSANE!

"“The marching orders were: I WANT a parade like the one in France,” a military official with knowledge of the meeting told the Post. “This is being worked at the highest levels of the military.”"
TRAITOR$!
