So is the real battle about who gets to control the puppet strings on Trump?

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Feb 15 '17, 05:23

So this latest Flynn stuff sounds like the intelligence community exerting their control.

We have Putin, Bannon, and who knows who else basically using a hapless Trump as their puppet, and think there's a battle for control and finding balance on who gets to do what through him.

  - I don't see this being driven by elections as much as governance. -- nm - Roger More Feb 15, 05:49
  - I don't see how he settles back into a "normal" presidency after all this - Reagen Feb 15, 05:48 13
    - I don't think I ever expected a "normal" presidency - Strongbad Feb 15, 06:18 5
      - Re B2, that's only a tough square to circle if we insist on everything either being 100% correct or 100% wrong - Reagen Feb 15, 06:29 1
        
        I agree -- (edited) - Strongbad Feb 15, 06:32
      - Ditto. I expected we might get here after a year or 18mos but not 4 weeks. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 15, 06:22 1
        
        Lol, no way they let this come out just in time for midterms. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 06:25

    - Agreed. Saw someone on CNN last night say that regardless of the outcome this HAS to change his stance on Russia moving forward. - volnelk Feb 15, 05:53 3
      - That's the thing, he doesn't *have* to do anything, and all of this will be old news by 2018. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 07:11 2
        
        My thought was that, they wouldn't be in control of the timing. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 15, 07:12 1
        
        They probably got a call from Reince telling them if they've got anything to make sure it drops now. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 15, 07:16

- Would depend if any of the # of people who could destroy him find a balance and no one takes the nuclear option. -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 05:29
