Breaking news: GOP alleges 3rd-in-line Ryan has a sense of humor

My favorite part is their spokesmen lying with breathless ease about that conversation never having happened, then immediately backpedaling to “haha it was actually just a joke about how transparently the Russian government is manipulating our candidate and trying to influence the election, haha, GET IT‽” as soon as WaPo informed them that the conversation was on tape.
Also interesting: why is the dateline “KIEV, Ukraine”?

I noticed that too. Perhaps someone is looking into Russian connections?

Any lawyers here? Does this “Ha ha! I was just joking!” defense actually hold water? Because it seems pretty lame to me.
“I am going to kill you. Ha ha I was just joking!”
“Trump ate that baby, Ha ha I was just joking!”
“Jared likes little girls. Ha ha I was just joking!”
I mean, come on.

I’ve listed below just 10 (ok, 11) political figures in history who have, in my estimation, been treated far worse than Donald Trump. I likely could’ve kept writing this list all night, but I had to stop somewhere.
Also, trigger warnings for some graphic details.

I so enjoyed the news this afternoon, with the two stories WaPo and NYT put out within an hour of Air Force One taking off. The situation we’re in isn’t really funny, of course, but you gotta find laughs where you can. TWO SCOOPS, MOTHERFUCKER.

You know, as much as I like Moore and his message, I couldn’t agree with this more.
Remember how he got booed off the stage at the Academy Awards? Those practically seem like the “good old days” now.

[quote]A Republican operative in Florida received a trove of Democratic documents from the Russia-linked hacker believed to be a key player in the Kremlin’s efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election.
The Wall Street Journal identified the operative as Aaron Nevins, who last summer told hacker Guccifer 2.0 to “feel free to send any Florida based information” after learning that the hacker had tapped into Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee computers.
Nevins set up a Dropbox to allow Guccifer 2.0 to share 2.5 gigabytes of stolen DCCC documents, according to the Journal. The GOP operative then published some of the material on the blog HelloFLA.com, using a pseudonym.
Guccifer 2.0 sent a link to the blog post soon afterwards to Republican operative Roger Stone, a longtime confidante and associate of then-candidate Donald Trump.
