K I was trying to catch up from yesterday and apparently Donald Trump has made accusations against Obama and wire taps and FISA court and etc etc

What's the deal, did Trump really just top the sessions scandal with something worse?

But like was there a wiretap? Because it seems way more likely Kisylak was being monitored and Trump's surrogates were too stupid to imagine that possibility than for Obama to order Trump himself monitored.

Wait, so were the phones tapped and what did they pick up? Or is this just some garbage conspiracy news radio crap that got picked up by breitbart and then made it's way to dear leader?

From what im gleaming the right wing crankosphere started musing that all thesr leams about meetings with Russians must be coming from ILLEGAL OBUMMER wiretaps which is the real scandal, not us directly colluding with a belligerent international rival that was directly trying to undermine American democracy. Trump then retweeted about it. There might be no taps at all. But considering all the leaks are about people meeting or talking to Kisylak, like, that's obviously who was being surveiled and he's the Russian Ambassador so of loving course he was?

I don't know what's real anymore, but it's all loving hilarious.

June 2016 there was a FISA request to monitor trump+some on team which was turned down. In October they put in another request which was approved and they didn't find anything, afaik.

Just spitballing, but could something that's come out have been something that sessions and trump knew was spoken about only in that conversation, which means the only way for anyone to know about it was that his senate office was bugged?

Sort of like Sessions suddenly saying he never had contact with any russians when he wasn't asked that at all. Just responding to something before it was actually asked or spoken about because they had prepared talking points for it and were looking for the place to use them.

Infinitely more likely Kisylak is bugged or monitored.

A man with a megaphone explains that the Concerned Citizens — there were between “two and eight” of them, apparently — have fled. “They walked away down Elgin Street.” Did he talk to them? “No, there is no room to debate Islamophobia! Our job is to shut them down, not debate them.” With the rise of U.S. President Donald Trump, people with intolerant and hateful ideas are emboldened, says the man. He won’t give his name, saying he fears being harassed by fascists.

less than a full day on the job at Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and already that piece of poo poo Seema Verma is urging states to charge premiums for Medicaid (like she helped Indiana start doing under Pence) and try to tie employment requirements to Medicaid (like she has been helping Kentucky try to do) and otherwise seek waivers from federal Medicaid rules

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...8474_story.html

backstory: Verma helped Pence come up with a way to accept the Medicaid expansion while still being a right-wing rear end in a top hat by getting a waiver to charge recipients in Indiana premiums to be in Medicaid, which in turn made her an in-demand consultant for Republican state governments who wanted the federal Medicaid dollars but still wanted to be assholes. this led to her being appointed to head the program at the federal level

Wait what the gently caress.

So they take the Medicaid expansion then charge people a premium for doing so, so they are basically just stealing the money that's supposed to go to the poor?
