It sounds like tomorrow (??) may be a "buckle the fuck up" day.

1. Seriously???

I'm going to have to update my resume to read:

2017-?
Checked the internet every five seconds to see if there were any new developments in the Russian investigation.

[MelissaB]

2. I hear you! I'll be glad when this is over

and life (without twitter and so much computer time) can continue.

[JCinNYC]

4. LOLOLOLO

OMG - Best post of the day!

[dawg day]

3. Tick... tick... tick... tock...

Okay, what do you HOPE they're talking about?

Something more than Paul Ryan eventually retiring!

I hope Jared gets indicted.
Or Donnie Jr. Or both. Really tighten the emotional vise on Ivanka, so she can go yell, "Daddy! You ruined our lives!"

[Kirk Lover]

7. I think I would pop my champagne that I've been saving since election night for that. I can always

get another bottle for the next ones !

[Kber]

11. I went to an election night party with a bottle of champagne and a bottle of bourbon.

I figured we’d drink one or the other.

The champagne is still chilling.

The bourbon is long gone.

[Grammy23]

85. My prosecco never got opened on Nov. 8, 2016. I couldnt bring myself to even drown my sorrows.

Friday, December 15, 2017 might be the day to finally open it. As my old boss used to say....” Let it be said. Let it be done!”

[George II]

62. I'll break out my Hillary Clinton / White House champagne glasses for that.

[MelissaB]

8. The Don!

I want the Don.

[George II]

63. For now I'd settle for the junior version.

[PJMcK]

104. Save him for later

Get his sons, son-in-law and some other hangers-on first. Tighten the screws. Make Trump get angrier and angrier.

By the way, without any shred of evidence, I believe Mr. Mueller has already indicted Trump and it's among the sealed indictments Mr. Mueller has already filed. I've read that such an action would protect Mr. Mueller from being fired and it would supersede any pardon Trump would try to grant.

Unseal the indictments after Trump leaves office and can be prosecuted.

[wasupaloopa]

5. So if they know something why not say it?

There are so many of these that in the words of Roseanne Roseannadanna
"Never mind"

6. Oh I really do hope so since I'm off tomorrow !!!!!! n/t

[regnaD kciN]

9. It would be nice, but...

...these predictions of something yuge coming up this afternoon, or tomorrow, or at the end of the week seem to be the leftist equivalent of the fundamentalist claims that prophecy makes it clear that The Rapture will be on such-and-such a day (to be transferred to the nearest available date once the predicted day doesn't pan out). In other words…"Merry Fitzmass!"

[MelissaB]

10. Yeah, that's exactly what it's been like...

not.

Nobody is promising an end to the world or Trump locked up in supermax tomorrow.

[The_jackalope]

12. One more...

[MelissaB]

14. I'm hoping he confirms as well.

[gay texan]

15. Hmmm holding off

On the Champaign for now.....

16. Smart.

[jberryhill]

39. Or the champagne

Or the Champlain. Or the champion. Etc

[gay texan]

95. Yes that too n/t

[MelissaB]

17. I'm going to take a guess and say

it has something to do with this. All you have to do is look at the title.

[tinrobot]

83. Might explain today's call to Putin...

Gotta give the boss a head's up.

[msdjg]

97. Saw something about this on the news late last night

I just happened to catch an interview on MSNBC where they reported that the CIA met with trump and showed him proof of Putin interfering in our election and he was quiet and subdued about it. Later it was reported he went crazy and now when they do the daily briefings they wait until the end of the meeting because trump gets so riled up about any news of the Russian collusion or interference... Just the fact that he believes what Putin says and not our own intelligence agencies is proof enough to me that he is either acting on Putin's best interest, or he has to because of their financial dealings... He knows when they investigated his bank that they are getting close to the truth - hence, the attack on the FBI and Mueller... He is endangering our country to another cyberattack by the Russians. They already know they can get in to our systems. Who says they won't get in to our banking, our military and personal files - even our electrical grid. They could immobilize us in a few minutes and never have to fire a shot.

[MelissaB]

18. NEW: Pres. Trump spoke with Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin earlier today, White House Press Secretary

Link to tweet

Timing peeps...

[regnaD kciN]

21. In other words, "just like any other day"...

[MelissaB]

22. Oh, come on! It was time for his job performance review.

[crazylikafox]

26. So true. End of Year review & all that.

We all have to get that from our bosses every December.

[regnaD kciN]

47. Maybe Pootie-Poot told hm "You're fired"...?

After all, his performance has been SAD!

[OAITW r.2.0]

31. Agree...I hope these official phone calls are recorded...

love to know details, who was there, what was discussed. I suspect Trump only on a secure line with no recording.

[shraby]

19. Wayyy overdue!

[regnaD kciN]

20. It's also possible that all the "buzzin'"...

...is over inside knowledge that Trump is going to fire Mueller tomorrow, and place the investigation under the control of a DoJ assistant-to-the-assistant.

[OliverQ]

34. Thought about that too, but the twitter teases seem to be indicating

something positive for Democrats/anti-fascists. Mueller being fired would indicate lots of doom and gloom, which I'm not feeling from twitter.

I'm definitely very anxious about Mueller getting fired though. We know Republicans won't do anything about it and Trump and the GOP officially become above the law.

[lunasun]

77. Please go into rapid response if it does occur

[Leghorn21]

23. Ha! Hey Melissa, thanks for this compilation, I have been darting from one twitter feed to the next

for what, 2 hours now, shoulda known you have it already posted!!

Especially the addition of one Rick Wilson? Hmmmm...

Keep breathing, my friend!

[MelissaB]

24. Thanks!

I knew this thread would piss off some people because twitter, but others would appreciate it. I'm glad you (at least one someone) do.



PS

I think people are solid or I wouldn't have posted this thread.

[shraby]

25. Just wish they'd throw it at us. I'm dying to know.

Suppose Rachel will have anything?

[MelissaB]

27. She may have it, but I don't think she will say it.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

38. Maybe it will break while she's on the air.

Fingers crossed.

[Leghorn21]

28. 10-4 - twitter gets on some nerves and not others, whatcha gonna do? And I sure agree,

that this feels mighty solid, especially when that somewhat cool customer Rick Wilson is layin down some teases....

Oy, no tease, no tease! We are all drinking and over-medicating and barfing with antici





...pation!! (the replies, re: "who? when? why-must-I-wait-another-fucking-minute?!" are hilarious, and I relate to ALL of em!)

Peace, dear friend!!

[pnwmom]

36. Thanks from me, too, MelissaB. And fingers crossed! n/t

[MelissaB]

40. Crossed here as well.

[Silver Gaia]

66. Thanks from me, too, Melissa!

I also follow all these people, but haven't had a chance to check in yet today. I think it's significant that so many are telling us to buckle up. If Counterchekist and John Schindler are both hinting this (they know *stuff*), and Tea Pain (love his wit), Rick Wilson, and others are chiming in... well, I'm paying attention.

[gibraltar72]

29. Got me

at Rick Wilson.

[octoberlib]

30. The other rumor on Twitter has to do with why Ryan has announced he might not

run again. Supposedly an article is coming out implicating Ryan in taking illegal campaign donations from Russia. It'll be interesting to see if anything drops tomorrow and what it will be.

[OliverQ]

33. That's common knowledge though. Been reports that he,

McConnell, Lindsey Graham, McCain, and some others took $7.5 million in campaign donations from Russian Oligarchs.

[Ghost Owl]

44. I've been wondering if Graham's sudden Trump fanboy pantomime

has something to do with those alleged campaign contributions. Either that's he's being blackmailed, or he's turned informant for Mueller, working as his inside man.

[NYC Liberal]

59. Or angling for a pardon...

[MelissaB]

60. I didn't even think of that.

This is the weirdest about face I've ever seen.

[lindysalsagal]

57. But but butbutbut 10 hours with frump jr MUST have revealed something actionable. They're all filth

filthy.

And, yes, they all took russian money. That's been 45's insurance against the GOP: That he'd take them down with him. And Mueller may be beating him to it, so, they will no longer be able to prop up frump.

Buh buy, 45.

[OliverQ]

32. Any hints on what it might be?

Does sound like something big is going to break soon. Bots are increasing on my other forums too, which usually happens to distract from a major story about to come out.

[MelissaB]

35. The bots have been crazy today.

I posted above what my guess it, but it's only a guess. I know nothing.

I'm going to take a guess and say it has something to do with this. All you have to do is look at the title.

Link to tweet

[regnaD kciN]

49. Perhaps it will turn out...

...that those "specific instructions" went beyond leaked documents and targeted ads, and that we have proof of actual Russian vote-tampering (as in: hacking the machines)? That would be a bombshell for sure. Up to now, Russiagate deniers have always had the fallback position that "O.K., maybe the Russians did interfere -- but there's no evidence that any of their actions swayed the election." If there was proof of the contrary...wow!

(NOTE: Just to be clear, this is pure speculation. There is no basis for such speculation except my own creative imagination as a screenwriter. It does not mean that I think anything like that is going to happen.)

[bathroommonkey76]

58. I'd take that news over a low-level indictment! n/t

[KG]

37. shit winds?

[NightWatcher]

41. Would Mueller pinch Kushner during Hanukkah?

The Putin call today along with possible events tomorrow is weirding me out. trump seems to have a 24hr heads up before bad news for him breaks.

[FreeState]

42. Why not get him now, Hanukkah is a minor holiday

(meaning not a big deal to Jews).

[MFM008]

53. May I ask anyone

What the Jewish people consider their most important holiday?

[DavidDvorkin]

55. Yom Kippur

Also, Rosh Hashanah and Passover.

[EllieBC]

70. I would rank them (as someone raised Orthodox)

Yom Kippur
Rosh Hashana
Pesach (Passover)
Succos (including Simchas Torah and Sheimini Atzeret)
Shavuos
Purim
Tisha B'Av
Shabbos
Chanukah
Tu B'Shevat

[MFM008]

71. Thank you.

Good to know.

[DavidDvorkin]

75. Shabbos should be higher

Near the top, traditionally.

[EllieBC]

89. Probably between YK and RH.

I almost didn't but shabbos because while it is a holiday, it's not a holiday as most people who aren't Jewish think.

[EricMaundry]

43. From your lips to God's ears

[jalan48]

45. I've been buckled the fuck up for a year. Unless it's Trump being indicted I'm not all that excited.

[Different Drummer]

46. Fasten Your Seatbelts

[Oneironaut]

48. Meh. Twitter is mostly garbage and fake journalists.

They’ll throw vague garbage out like this to get attention, and then disappear for a few weeks. I wouldn’t count on tomorrow being any different from today.

[MelissaB]

50. Meh.

That's your opinion. Evidently you don't follow real journalists. Most do tweet their stories out to spread far and wide.

[Oneironaut]

99. Of course they do, but those are real journalists.

Anderson Cooper, for example, is not in the same bracket of trustworthiness as a random user named “Tea Pain.” The two need to be differentiated in terms of reliability.

I refuse to trust enigmatic Twitter “journalists” who pop out of nowhere with “explosive news!” They may be correct, but they deserve extra scrutiny until they prove themselves.

I’m not saying “don’t use Twitter journalists for information.” All I’m saying is, their information should be scrutinized and examined more extensively, rather than treating their tweets as fact.

[Takket]

54. if it was just menche i would feel that way, but some of those people have access to actual

information. as opposed to just making Nostradmus like predictions.

[Codeine]

51. Playing stupid fucking games.

Twitter has created an entire subculture of childish fucksticks who can't resist implying that they're part of some Sooper Seekrit Insiders Club.

Either say what you have to say or shut the fuck up.

[democratisphere]

52. I always look forward to "Chaos and Indictments Fridays".

No wonder Americans have high blood pressure.

[shenmue]

56. WTF?

[Jack-o-Lantern]

61. Not holding my breath... but hope springs eternal.

[wishstar]

64. If not Mueller indictment, then big leaked story as blowback against the attempts to discredit him

Investigators and officials who know incriminating info are not going to just passively sit back and let Repubs spin their attempts to justify shutting down Mueller probe.

Either indictments or leaks of more dirt on Trump gang will help sway public opinion that Mueller probe is necessary to get to bottom of the wrongdoing and that politicians who are trying to shut down the probe are obstructing justice.

[Roland99]

65. AL secret recount reverses election outcome.

[California_Republic]

67. I worry about that. If they can trigger a recount

Then There are lots of people ready to do ‘ gods work ‘ and fix the election

[shraby]

68. The state law says recounts for federal seats can't even be paid for by the candidate

if the margin is over .5%

They can only challenge and pay for a recount out of their dime if it's a state seat.

[OliverQ]

87. Not a close enough margin for an automatic recount and

Alabama law doesn't allow candidates to pay for a recount in federal elections.

So unless Repubs pull 20,000 Moore votes out of provisional ballots, they can't get a recount.

[riverwalker]

69. Another one

Link to tweet

[regnaD kciN]

76. But do those 'tings have anything to do with Trump?

Or might this have something to do with the rumors that a major newspaper is about to out "30-40" Congresscritters as sexual harassers?

[OliverQ]

88. Sounds like it might be more indictments.

[MrsCoffee]

73. Don't they say this every Thursday?

[The_jackalope]

74. No, "they" don't. nt

[MrsCoffee]

98. Yes they do. Every Thursday there is a prediction of a big Friday news dump.

Once in a blue moon they get it right. We've been playing this game for months now.

[BannonsLiver]

93. It happens often

Usually the duds are the ones with the most hype. I’m hopeful but skeptical.

82. The biggest stories that have come down recently have had no buzz.

So I don't put much credence to this.

[scheming daemons]

92. False... the Manafort/Gates indictments were buzzed about all weekend before MuellerMonday

...and the Flynn plea deal was #1 trending on Twitter the night before it happened.

[bullwinkle428]

84. Malcolm Nance says don't look for any shit to hit fan before March. I somehow

trust him more than anyone in this Twitter list. I'll be more than happy to admit I was wrong if anything substantial happens tomorrow.

[former9thward]

86. More internet fake news.

By those who have been repeatably discredited.

[triron]

90. kick for visibility

94. Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.

Bette Davis!

[octoberlib]

96. Ok, Rick Wilson and Tea Pain just

tweeted that it has more to do with an in law than an outlaw. So , I’ll say Kushner.

[MineralMan]

100. Sounds more like an STFU day to me.

Here it is, tomorrow already. If you buckled up, you can pull the lever now and unfasten your seat belt. The Captain has turned off the seat belt sign. You're free to move about in the cabin, but please keep your seat belt buckled when you are seated.

[itsrobert]

101. You are free to use the barf bags

At anytime Trump appears on the cabin's video screens.
