Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

That's the number of days into the Trump administration before the first top-level resignation. The person was Michael Flynn. The post was national security adviser. And the reason was that he discussed U.S. sanctions with the Russian ambassador to the United States before Trump took office – this after promising otherwise to Vice President Mike Pence. Such contacts could run afoul of the Logan Act, which bans private citizens from engaging in foreign policy.

Here are some remaining questions:

- Are Flynn's contacts with Russian officials the reason President Vladimir Putin declined to retaliate when the United States imposed additional sanctions on Russia in the waning days of the Obama administration?

- Did Flynn act alone, or did someone higher up in Trump's circle instruct or authorize, tacitly or otherwise, these interactions?

- Where does this leave relations between the United States and Russia?

The timeline of Michael Flynn’s resignation is troubling for the Trump White House

Perhaps the most striking thing about Michael Flynn's resignation as national security adviser is that it didn't come sooner.

As The Washington Post reported late Monday, just hours before Flynn resigned, the White House was told weeks ago that Flynn had apparently misled them about his talks with Russia's ambassador to the United States.

Yet the situation didn't come to a head until the public disclosures last week of Flynn's faulty recollection of the call — and specifically, the fact that it included talk about sanctions, which Flynn and Vice President Pence had both denied.

Which leads to the question: Was the White House concerned that Flynn had apparently lied to them — or at least done something he shouldn't have and failed to disclose it? Would it ever have taken corrective action if the situation hadn't been made public?

There is a photo floating around social media of Prime Minister Trudeau's visit to the White House. In the centre stands a bloated President Trump, the wind blowing his elaborate straw mane upward, revealing where his painted-orange flesh meets what is left of his natural scalp. Next to Mr. Trump, his handsome Canadian counterpart Prime Minister Trudeau grins politely, looking like a well-aged boy-band member indulging a disgruntled fan.

It may seem petty to focus on physical appearance, but given that Mr. Trump selects his cabinet based on whether they https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-is-holding-a-government-casting-call-hes-seeking-the-look/2016/12/21/703ae8a4-c795-11e6-bf4b-2c064d32a4bf_story.html ("look the part") and has reportedly forced sexist dress codes upon his female staff, perhaps some pettiness is in order.

It was hard for Americans to look at Mr. Trudeau on Monday with anything but longing: not only to give our eyes a break from Agent Orange, but to remember what it is like to have a president who is eloquent, informed and has a grasp of the rule of law. One does not need to be a great fan of Mr. Trudeau; the fact that he is not Mr. Trump suffices for most. One can assume the Canadian Prime Minister will not promise to build a vanity wall between our countries, express enthusiasm for using nuclear weapons or garner support from white supremacists across the nation.

These are but a few differences between the leaders of the U.S. and Canada, less than one month after Mr. Trump took office.

Tbh i think Trudeau is way in over his head as our PM. Not to mention he's "soft" to put it politely lol Just the liberals "golden-boy" & puppet.

Trump is still on training wheels and since he has a hard time learning, because "he knows more than even the generals" we will see a slow training curve.

Putin vs Trump? Trump doesn't have pics of Putin enjoying a golden shower from a couple Russian whores.

That sorry sack of Mormon feces had 2 years of hearing lined up for Clinton if she won. I enjoyed watching the punk get booed of the stage at his town hall.

It is unclear what the White House counsel, Donald McGahn, did with the information.

That information will be released to the public as soon as Trumps routine tax audit is finished.

(CNN)The Senate's second-ranking Republican and other GOP senators are calling for an investigation into connections between President Donald Trump and Russia, and want former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to testify.

Sen. John Cornyn, who has called for an investigation into Trump's tie to Russia before Flynn resigned, told reporters Tuesday that the Senate standing committees with oversight of intelligence need to investigate Flynn. Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also told KTRS radio he wanted to speak with Flynn.
