To be frank, this may be literally stable. In the sense that it seems consistent.
C'mon: Trump's retired. He seems to have been caught entirely by surprise by this win, and frankly, has no intention of doing as much work as would normally be expected of a POTUS. His goals appeared to be to leverage his media mogul career into maybe an alt right channel, but the POTUS win puts that on the backburner, and now I think he's intending to use this to maximize the family wealth, and play as much golf as possible until the hips give out. He spent a few years showing his kids the ropes of his business network, and now they're moving into their roles on the board of directors in the White House Subsidiary. I think we're seeing four factions in the WH:

I don't think it's going to get to the point where Dump needs a pardon. Obviously, I hope I'm as wrong as wrong can be.

That's kinda curious. How could the GOP have aided hacking the Democrats, unless they've already performed some hacking themselves?
And I'm not sure that I think that's very plausible yet. Obviously, I could be totally wrong and perhaps we'll see, but it's not high on my list of possibilities yet. |

The video is even better.

Could this be a Russian attempt to get the Trump/Russian pressure off Trump's back?

Oh puhleese!
It wasn't just a conversation with the ambassador, it included a discussion about sanctions, hardly some minor side issue you simply forget about. And if Flynn forgot he was an agent of Turkey, seriously? This is a general and cabinet post here, not some low level flunky. Maybe you should read the details before making up a knee-jerk defense. Here’s What Prompted Michael Flynn To Register As An Agent Of Turkey |

You can tell it is fake news because Trump looks trim and well-dressed.
