  1. "Read the transcript" is Trump's version of "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit". He's saying we should only look at that piece of evidence despite the mountain of other evidence. By the way, the transcript does not look good for him at all.

  2.  Paul Miller  Nope, it's true. You must be in denial.

  3. I totally believe he said all of those things about the military, but let's say they were lies. I am certainly not suggesting that the press should ever lie, but Trump has called them his enemy and tried to tie them to the Democrats. If you are a compulsive liar who constantly, falsely accuses someone of lying, declare them your enemy, and threaten their existence, do you expect them to capitulate to your demands? To apologize? Hell no, you fight back! Trump is a fool. At this point - even though they shouldn't - it would be very understandable if the media actually did get together with each other and the DNC to take down Trump, even if it meant making stuff up. It's also worth mentioning that Trump coordinates with FOX News. EVERYTHING he accuses the "liberal" media of doing, he does.

  5. Lying media? Name three lies told by the media. I can name over 20,000 told by Trump. You are a bunch of mindless sheep.

  6. This happened AFTER Trump and his campaign found out Russia was attacking our election, and AFTER the FBI told them to call if they saw anything suspicious: -- Trump said, "Russia, if you're listening..." -- 16 Trump associates contacted Russians regarding the election. ALL except Roger Stone denied it until confronted, then said there was nothing wrong with it. (So, why lie?) Then, Stone denied his previous statements that he was in touch with Assange and Guccifer 2.0. (The very people who hacked the DNC and released the emails). -- The Trump Tower meeting. (Straight-up collusion). -- The request to change the RNC platform to benefit Russia against Ukraine. -- Papadopoulos suggested a meeting with the Russians. -- Trump continued to pursue a real estate deal in Moscow, and lied about it. (He is reputed to have offered the penthouse suite to Putin. If true, that's a major emoluments crime). -- Paul Manafort offered to give briefings on the campaign to Russia. By the way, Manafort literally worked for Putin. Then he "just happened" to become Trump's campaign chairman. -- Trump repeatedly praised Putin, never once condemning him. Instead, he cast doubt on the CIA. -- Kushner met with a SANCTIONED Russian bank to trade sanction relief for personal favors and to set up a back channel to the Kremlin. -- Flynn told the Russians not to retaliate for sanctions. -- Trump, at Putin's request, invited Russian ambassadors into the Oval Office, where he spilled Israeli spy secrets and said the FBI Director he'd just fired was a "nut job". -- Trump continued to cast doubt on Russia's guilt. -- Trump sided with Putin in front of the world at the Helsinki summit. -- They never called the FBI. Did the Democrats make them do ANY of that? Are these things not cause for suspicion? If you say, "no", it would be pretty hypocritical to insist that the Page/Strok texts, Uranium One, and Obama's hot mic are proof of crimes, especially a deep state conspiracy. The above are all what's called circumstantial evidence. It's all right off the top of my head. There is so much more implicating evidence. Again, my point is that they KNEW what Russia was up to, but did those things anyway.

  9. Mr. Taint - If you use electricity, you can't criticize? Pure nonsense. There are degrees of things. Duh.

  10. Well, Trump and the Republicans have controlled almost everything for the past four years, and all we hear from them is how the Democrats are oppressing everyone, so..?

  11. If you can listen to Trump's many, disrespectful public statements and believe he wouldn't say worse in private, you are a hopeless fool.

  13. H Daniel Noble - Who can trust the habitually lying Trump administration? Trump, Pence, Pompeo, and even the Secretary of Defense have been lying since this started.

  14. -The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. That's collusion as part of a conspiracy. - Trump's campaign chairman, felon, and cooperating witness, Paul Manafort, was at the Trump Tower meeting. He offered polling data to a known Russian intelligence officer. 21 states' voter rolls were hacked. Manafort had been a lobbyist for Putin. He helped install a crooked, pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform. At the convention, attended by Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer made this request. The staffer says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Manafort and Trump have publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign self described "dirty trickster", Roger Stone, said he had contacts with Guccifer 2.0 and Julian Assange, the very hackers who hacked the DNC and the guy who weaponized the information. - Trump's personal lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, has named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case that involved bank fraud. Cohen was convicted of lying to investigators about his willingness to travel abroad to further a Trump Tower Moscow deal. Trump lied about pursuing the deal. Both lied about working on it during the campaign. The Steele dossier asserts that Cohen met with Russians in Prague. (Not willing to travel?) - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested to the campaign that Trump should meet with Russians to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it. Later that day, Trump announced, "I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons." Both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - Trump's son-in law and Sr. advisor, Jarred Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin. They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's 666 5th Avenue money pit of a real estate venture.

  15. - The FBI had asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - During the campaign, former National Security Advisor, convicted felon, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event. (RT - Russia Today, aka, Russian propaganda), and made a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. He lied about his compensation. He failed to register as a foreign agent. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow and made a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Note that Page had gotten caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - Trump said, "NATO is obsolete". NATO exists to protect Europe from Russian aggression. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - Trump chose Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon, as his first Sec. of State. Tillerson had received Russia's highest award for a foreigner. Exxon lost a $500 billion oil deal with a Russian, state-run, oil company when the US sanctioned Russia for its illegal invasion of Ukraine. Trump fired Tillerson the day after Tillerson publicly criticized Putin. - Putin did NOT want Clinton to become President. As Secretary of State, she was tough on him. Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump has repeated Russian propaganda many times. Recently, he said the USSR occupied Afghanistan in '79 because of terrorists, and was "right to do it". (The US was instrumental in driving out the Soviets). - Against the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - Around the time Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump told FOX News he thought Montenegro might start WWIII.

  16. At least Swalwell was unwitting. Trump's people KNOWINGLY cooperated with Russian spies. Trump KNOWINGLY repeated Russian intelligence propaganda. A Russian spy ran a honey trap on Republicans a few years back. A Chinese spy showed up at Mar-a-Lago.

  17. Just a few suggestions for excuses for you Trumpers when you wake/sober-up to reality: 1)- "Hillary would have been worse". 2)- "I was conned. It happens to the best of us". 3)- "I think the Republicans put something in the water". 4)- "FOX News had me under mind control for years". 5)- "Someone stole my identity and used it to vote". 6)- "I knew he was bad, but not THAT bad". 7)- "Once I saw he was willing to throw his kids under the bus, that was it for me". 8)- "I got an insider tip that my stocks were about to plummet". 9)- "I just wanted to make America great again. Something about those MAGA hats and the color, red". 10)- My Dad was Rush Limbaugh's drug dealer.

  19. - 57% oppose a wall, and Trump shut down the government over it. A majority of those in red districts along the border oppose a wall. - The whole wall idea was never serious from the start. It was cooked-up by Trump's campaign staff to remind him to insult immigrants. - Whether $5.6 billion or $1, for a wall or a fence, it would be a down payment on a project that will cost at least $25 billion. The initial amount is meaningless. - Seeking asylum is legal. - To this day, Trump employs illegals, and is being investigated for employers at his resorts hiding their names from the Secret Service. - The violent crime rate for illegals is lower than for the general population. - Half of illegals don't cross the border illegally. Most of the drugs come in via boats and planes. - Nobody wants open borders. - Trump doesn't read, research, or listen to advisors. He has a well-documented history of bankruptcy. He literally said he didn't care about warnings about the rising national debt because, "I'll be gone by then". His original estimate for a wall was under $5 billion. Think it would come in under budget? - Trump said Mexico would pay. Why shouldn't he have to PROVE that he can get the money from Mexico? If he was trying to get it from a bank, there's no way in hell they'd give it to him without proving he could repay it.

  20. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years - a strategy he's used all his life. He hasn't suggested any solutions to the "problems" with mail-in voting. He is obviously trying to create problems with the post office. He asked Russia, China, and Ukraine to help him win, even by investigating Americans. He said taking foreign government help is okay. (It's illegal). He says it's "oppo research" (when HE does it. When opponents do legal oppo research on him, he calls it treason). It's likely Russia will attack the election. Obama prepared for a cyber attack on election day. I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't, and Putin knows it. In 2012, Trump said Obama would start a war with Iran to get re-elected. Apparently, Trump thinks that could work. It wouldn't surprise me if he did that. Turnout favors Democrats. Trump knows that. 50% of voters say they wouldn't vote for him under ANY circumstances. He's never reached across the aisle, and never had a day with over 50% approval. He considers everyone who didn't vote for him an enemy. He HAS to cheat to win, and he's given every reason to think he will.

  21. Usually, presidents don't call attention to every little time they actually do their job, like they want praise, or a cookie or something, so I can see why you think that's so unusual.

  22. You are in denial. Does he have to say the N-word before you people wake up?

  23. John Allen Lauridsen Jr. - Canada, France, the US, and half of Europe have socialist elements. Cuba is not France is not China. And China has been very successful. Democratic Socialism is NOT code for Communism. That's exactly what I'm talking about- If you slap labels on ideas in order to demonize, you shut down debate and new ideas don't get a chance. Socialist movements start at the grass roots, then a leader emerges who is NOT actually representing socialism. It's the habits and histories of those people and those countries, not the idea, that caused THOSE governments, (USSR, Cuba, Venezuela...), to fail.

  25. It will say there was no spying on the Trump campaign, and that the origins of the Russia invesigation were legitimate, just as was obvious.

  26. How do you feel about Trump already taking about skipping debates?

  27. He never had an approval rating over 50%. He treated over half the country like an enemy. He polled 10 points behind his opponent for the entire campaign. But somehow, he won?

  28. Bigdaddyhdnight - Trump is not a self made billionaire. It's daddy's money. He was worth half a billion at age 8 because his father was using him as a tax shelter. Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times. He lost money in the casino business - where the house always wins. He had to start borrowing from Russian banks because US banks wouldn't loan to him anymore. And until we see his tax returns, we don't know how much he is worth. You can't trust what he says about it. He lied to Forbes magazine about his net worth.

  29. I bet she understands what a trade deficit is. Trump doesn't. I bet she understands why you can't get out of debt by simply printing more money. Trump doesn't. I bet she understands that oil and coal is non-renewable, and is projected to COST us dearly in the near future. Trump doesn't.

  30. John Smith - That didn't happen. First off, Russia HAS HAD THE BOMB FOR DECADES ANDVHAS ITS OWN URANIUM MINES. Second, it wasn't enriched uranium. It never left the ground. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who could produce up to 20% of uranium from US mines. The advisory board consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, and was lead by a Republican. The alleged "briber" didn't have any stake in the company at the time, and would have had to bribe 13 other federal agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

  31. Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility after the next election. Presidents DO have more flexibility then. To do WHAT? We don't know. Maybe something LEGAL. Maybe the Russian was trying to make some deal with Obama, and he was brushing the Russian off. "Don't call me. I'll call you". "Yeah, we should do lunch some time". Trumpers point to vague things as proof of something nefarious, like the words "insurance policy" in a text must mean there is a deep state conspiracy. But you can show them a ton of substantial suspicious activity and lies by Trump and his people, and they not only dismiss it as nothing, but insist we don't even have reason to be suspicious at all.

  32. If Trump was a Democrat, you'd hate him, and you KNOW it.

  33. Trump's son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval - while he knew Russia was interfering in our election to help him win. Yeah, no reason for suspicion there. But any baseless, nonsensical conspiracy theory he throws out there should be investigated, right?

  34. Eugene Morgan - That phrase, "fox guarding the henhouse" has been on my mind for 3 1/2 years. It's the loophole in the Constitution that empowers Trump. A president should not be able to control investigations into himself.
    4
  35. The FISA warrant on Carter Page was NOT what started the Russia probe, and neither was the dossier. Page had already left the campaign when the first warrant was issued. Remember that when Trump starts saying that this invalidates the whole thing. Carter Page was caught up in a Russian spy ring in 2013. Three years later, he was working for Trump as a Russian point man. He traveled to Russia to disparage US policy - Russia - the country that was currently attacking the US election to help Trump. It is the JOB of the CIA and FBI intelligence division to safeguard our country from such attacks. They did their jobs, and when they watched the Russians, they saw them contacting and being contacted by the Trump campaign, who lied about those contacts.

  36. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years - a strategy he's used all his life. He hasn't suggested any solutions to the "problems" with mail-in voting. It's absurd to want school open now, but say it's too unsafe to vote in November. He asked Russia, China, and Ukraine to help him win, even by investigating Americans. He said taking foreign government help is okay. (It's illegal). He says it's "oppo research" (when HE does it. When opponents do legal oppo research on him, he calls it treason). It's likely Russia will attack the election. Obama prepared for a cyber attack on election day. I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't, and Putin knows it. In 2012, Trump said Obama would start a war with Iran to get re-elected. Apparently, Trump thinks that could work. It wouldn't surprise me if he did that. Turnout favors Democrats. Trump knows that. 50% of voters say they wouldn't vote for him under ANY circumstances. He's never reached across the aisle, and never had a day with over 50% approval. He considers everyone who didn't vote for him an enemy. He HAS to cheat to win, and he's given every reason to think he will.

  37. If you say, "Dems are the racists," or, "Dems started the Klan," 1)- That was long ago. 2)- Dems always get around 90% of the black vote. 3)- Literally every racial hate group in America supports Republican politicians and candidates. 4)- Protesting racism is not racist. If you say that, you're an idiot.

  38. Try to understand, Trump followers: Spying on a campaign is bad. Surveillance on an enemy is good. So, when a campaign gets in bed with our enemy, it REQUIRES surveillance of that enemy. Christophe Steele, former British spy, reporting his oppo research findings to the FBI was GOOD. The British are our allies. We have a COMMON GOAL - to reign-in the Putin regime. Putin wants to do harm to the US. If Steele had given his findings, THOSE findings, to Clinton, it would have been wrong. But he DIDN'T do that. He went to the FBI instead. Clinton didn't use the dossier in her campaign. She never saw it. MSM didn't even want to report it. It couldn't be verified, and might have been TRULY fake news. Only "cat video" Buzzfeed put it out. MSM is NOT working with the DNC and the FBI. There is no "leftist deep state". That's just paranoid, tribal, conspiracy theory, That's not the way things work. On the other hand, Trump DID invite and accept help from a foreign GOVERNMENT - to help his CAMPAIGN, not to help his COUNTRY. Do Trumpers not understand this?? The findings of the FBI's counterintelligence probe, as with ALL counterintelligence probes, weren't meant for public eyes, and certainly not for the eyes of political campaign operatives. The Mueller probe started later, because Trump was acting so shady and obstructiony that we needed an independent, non-political body to look into it. And you can't have it both ways. If the Steele dossier was collusion with Russia, then the Trump Tower meeting was super-duper collusion. Got it? Tell me how it isn't. Any questions?

  39. Fun Fact - In 2016, Trump said it was OKAY TO CHEAT IN HIS FAVOR. He told his voters to VOTE TWICE. He says it's OKAY TO TAKE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT ELECTION HELP.

  40. Who should be charged with treason?

  41. Funny how MAGA nuts will believe a man who literally admits that he "lies and deflects" to handle bad press, bragged in 2016 about being in touch with both Guccifer 2.0 and Wikileaks, and has a tattoo of Nixon on his back.

  42. Trump isn't looking for corruption and conspiracy with the Bidens in Ukraine. He's fishing for a conspiracy THEORY. He knows there's no dirt to dig up. He wants something to give weight to his suggestion of corruption to create suspicion. If he actually got people like Biden, Clinton, and Comey indicted, it would be like the dog catching the car. The government would probably lose at trial, and if not, imagine the ensuing turmoil when the US started imprisoning elder statesman and respected former Senators, Vice-Presidents, FBI and CIA Directors. We would truly become a banana republic.
    4
  43. We know Trump and his people use every tool they can to dig up dirt on their opponents. And what have they ever found? Obama? We know how the birther thing worked out for them. Wire "tapps"? Nada. Good luck with the embedded spy thing. They found nothing when they tried to get dirt on the people involved in the Iran deal. Trump can't even prove that the Iran deal, DACA, or anything else Obama did turned disastrous. Hillary Clinton? They had the help of the Russian intelligence services - all of the DNC emails - and barely a thing. So, some DNC staffers once talked about going after Bernie Sanders over his religion and didn't even follow through. Created some scheduling conflicts for him? Ooooh, maajor corruption! Hillary's emails? Not one single instance of classified information getting in the wrong hands. Podesta's "spirit cooking" ?? Nonsense like "pizzagate" and the wholly debunked Uranium 1 thing? (Bribed ONE of NINE heads of agencies??). The notion that Clinton controlled the FBI, CIA, DNI, NSA, DHS, the entire mainstream media, the Obama White House, British, Dutch, and Australian intelligence is absurd. Rosenstein has been giving Nunes more than he legally deserves, and found nothing but some vague texts about an "insurance policy". Yeah, that proves everything (sarcasm)... Now - What has the Mueller probe turned-up? And the Mueller probe hasn't even leaked!

  44. Tom Maxwell - There are many on the right who see America diversifying and they are intimidated by it. It's pretty obvious when Laura Ingram of FOX News exploits that. It was one of Trump's race-baiting tactics. There were those on the right who felt they were being silenced if they criticized Obama, lest they be called "racist". Those people make too many assumptions. Trump came along and implied that they were PATRIOTS, not RACISTS. The truth is that racists don't always know they are racist. The overt racists - racial hate group members - are virtually all on the right, and vote Republican. It's understandable that we ALL have racism in our genes because we evolved from an animal kingdom where tribalism was necessary for survival. But we should be moving away from that. I'm not some "PC liberal" who goes nuts about everything anyone says. I'm quite the opposite, but I do think there is a line between speaking your mind freely and basic, civility and respect. And btw, my parents love me and raised no fools.

  45. Republicans never get more than 10% of the black vote, and literally all racial hate groups are on the right.

  46. According to the Washington Post, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Trump is at over 7500 in less than 2 years.

  47. Dems have standards. Republicans might as well throw a stick into a crowd at a NASCAR track, and make whoever they hit the next Presidential nominee. You people don't care that Trump lies 15 times a day? That he plans for nothing? That he doesn't read? That his charity was just dissolved over a probe into "a shocking pattern of illegality"? That his campaign chairman LITERALLY worked for Putin, among 15 other campaign associates who lied about contacts with Russia to steal the election - but you're not even curious about why he won't release his tax returns? That he is lying about why he won't release them..?

  48. It's a matter of public health. This crap would be OVER by now if people had just taken these simple steps.
