President Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition, bringing the special counsel's investigation into the president's inner circle.

Mr. Flynn, who appeared in federal court in Washington, acknowledged that he was cooperating with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russian interference in the 2016 election. His plea agreement suggests that Mr. Flynn provided information to prosecutors, which may help advance the inquiry.

    The second Bush went off to quietly make oil paintings. Why can't she do that?

    Republicans peacefully took their loss. They didn't riot in multiple cities, burning vehicles. They didn't shoot a group of democrat congress members -- which was very good for you because republicans shoot better than Bernie supporters. They didn't assault a democrat member of congress as he innocently mowed his lawn. They didn't beat a Hillary supporter with a bike lock. Switching the identities around, you've done all that.

    Why can't you be peaceful? You're acting like the fictional Trump supporters that you claimed would riot if there were a Hillary win.

    Before the election, you said that Trumps was threatening democracy by suggesting that the election could be stolen. Now you claim it was... yet still oppose any measures to ensure election integrity because you damn well know who was committing fraud that night and thought she had stolen enough votes.

    So no, we aren't going to forget her. She isn't old news until you can fully condemn her, accepting Trump as the clearly better choice and the fully legitimate winner. You need to accept that you voted for a terrible person, and that Trump is in fact not terrible.

    It's too bad you get to enjoy our rapidly improving economy. You fought that. You don't deserve it.
