  1. 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.

  2. It is ABSURD for Trump defenders to say that all of this evidence in the Russia probe is nothing while AT THE SAME TIME, pointing to vague incidents surrounding Hillary Clinton, Mueller, and Obama, and insisting they are proof of wrongdoing. If Clinton colluded with Russia, then Trump did, too. You can't have it both ways.

  3. Simply put, Socialism is about the COLLECTIVE. Capitalism is about the INDIVIDUAL. We need both. Some things are better left to the government, and some to the private sector. The US has many socialist programs that conservatives like. That's a fact. Forget labels. We need POLICIES that work HERE, in the United States.

  6. rick hale - But nothing suspicipus about Trump and Russia, right?

  7. Bart Bart - What Pelosi did was legal, but if that bothers you, then you should be appalled by Donald Trump.

  8. The_Memo - Wow. Compelling argument.

  9. C K - They don't exist to tell you what you want to hear. Jeez, I beyt you call the "liberal" media biased, too, don't you? And you probably have no idea what kind of bias you are exhibiting here.

  10. Trump just hired 17 new lawyers to work on how to evoke executive privilege. That means his strategy is all about CONCEALING what he has done and said. He obviously doesn't think the facts look good for him.

  11. Ah, "Enemy of the people". A term coined by Joseph Stalin.

  12. It kills me how you FOX News sheep complain about left-leaning bias in the rest of the media. Look how intolerant you tend to be about dissenting opinions! How do you not see your own hypocrisy?

  13. Scott Pruitt, Tom Price, Ryan Zinke, Rob Porter, the SIXTEEN senior Trump campaign officials who lied about a total of 87 Russian contacts, including his campaign chairman, senior advisor, and personal attorney...

  14. Jodie Holmes - No, but Trump literally blamed video games today.

  15.  passtime for civilwar  It's a fact. Look it up. It's been reported by several outlets. Nobody in Congress is denying it.

  16.  Keith Westfall  It has been widely reported. It is a fact. Google it.

  17. So, your statement is self-contradictory.

  19.  @daveshaw9344  Whatever. My "beloved Pelosi"? No, I'm all for investigating people who should be investigated. That's a far cry from saying, "What about..?" Pelosi, or whatever Democrat you want to divert to every time Donald Trump arouses suspicion - Which he does A LOT. It's pure tribal bias. There is no reason to investigate Pelosi. You are citing a vague suspicion, implying that somehow it only happens to Republicans. That's pure BS. It's real easy. I KNOW, and you KNOW that if Obama, Clinton, or Biden had done any of the things Trump has, you would be outraged. It's so obvious. You are willfully ignorant.

  20.  @daveshaw9344  What is this reputable source you saw summarizing this Pelosi scandal on Youtube?
    2
  21.  @lisamacon744  Good luck with that. Those FISA warrants were signed by a judge four times. The target of those warrants, Carter Page, got caught up in a Russian spy ring just two years earlier, then joined Trump's campaign and traveled to Moscow to make speeches disparaging US policy. That's the exact kind of person you should keep an eye on.

  22.  @floridaman5131  And a RINO.

  23. Who are "they"?
    2
  24. Yeah, as if that's even remotely the same. Trump admits he doesn't think much when he makes decisions. He doesn't read. He doesn't research or take advice. The wall was a campaign gimmick he pulled out of his ass, and now, you fools are all in on one of his whims. By the way, Mexico isn't paying. The American taxpayer isn't paying - but we will pay for SENSIBLE, STUDIED, EFFECTIVE border control measures. Why is that not enough for you people? God forbid, you would take advice from professionals if that advice is more complicated than "big wall good". Start a fund, and you Trumpers pay for it. And then, you'll see how complicated it gets.

  25. A landslide? 50% say they would not vote forhim udder any circumstances. He has never had a day with an approval rating over 50%. He considers half the country his enemy, and has never reached out to them. He is behind Biden by double digits. "Landslide"? Do the math.

  26. By not taking a salary, he costs the treasury more, because it goes to charity, and then he takes the tax deduction. It's good that it's charity and all, but his charity was just dissolved, and it's being investigated for what the NY AG calls a "shocking pattern of illegality".
    2
  27. He didn't leak any classified information. He characterized the briefing, and that's the whole point of the briefing - to give a select group in Congress the details so they can characterize it for the American people.

  28. Don't any of you idiot conservatives know how to use an apostrophe?

  29. How do I tell my kid to respect the law if the President won't accept 64 final court rulings?

  30. 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.

  31. coyote Kelly - How so? Do you have ANYTHING of substance to back your claim? Didn't think so.

  32. When it comes to suspicions about Trump and Russia, he sure wants the presumption of innocence. He takes it further. Trump and his associates' many lies about Russian contacts were more than enough probable cause for a probe. Never mind that our security made it the DUTY of the FBI to investigate. He insists the probe was criminal. Yet, when it comes to the presumption of innocence of suspects in street crimes, Trump says cops should slam their heads on the roofs of cop cars when arresting them. Never mind that even the guilty have civil rights. When it comes to press coverage, he CONSTANTLY uses the term, "fake news". He takes it further. He uses the Stalin term, "enemy of the people" to describe the American free press. Yet, he lies CONSTANTLY. When it comes to foreign governments offering information on his political opponents, he calls it oppo research. Yet, when an American oppo research firm had information on him, he called it treason. When someone criticizes him, he calls it an attack on America, and says critics should leave the country. Yet, when he criticizes someone, no matter how nasty or unprovoked, he calls it a "counter punch".

  33. Candy Vanpelt - What the hell are you talking about? Looks like your comprehension is the problem.

  34. Candy Vanpelt - ...Have you googled that stuff yet? Of course not. You don't want to know the truth.
    2
  35. Candy Vanpelt - I rest my case. It's worth you Trump-loving fools' time to say I'm wrong, but not to take just as little time to google it.

  36. Is that just a dumb joke, or do you really think she's a criminal or a terrorist? Funny, you people say "lock 'em up" about any liberal or media figure not on FOX News, and it's those on the right ACTUALLY committing crimes. Mike "lock her up" Flynn, a dozen or more Trump associates, and TRUMP HIMSELF! Do you people REALLY believe he is innocent of the MANY things he is implicated in?
    2
  37. Proof?
    2
  38. The media, itself, is not supposed to be the story. Sometimes, it's unavoidable. Sometimes the news makes news, but FOX News has made it their business model. Every other story is about "the 'liberal' media" because the FACTS don't agree with their "Conservative" narrative. I put "Conservative" in quotes because it's not Conservative. It's ALTERNATIVE. Could somebody tell Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity that FOX News is corporate sponsored, MAINSTREAM MEDIA?

  39. steven Kombolis - Sad but true. If you watch a FOX News report, like this one, you notice how they project a lot of tone, but don't really offer any information. It's like they have a list of names they've demonized, and they just throw them out there as they conflate multiple stories. Here, they call it a "bombshell" that Steele's sub-source wasn't too confident about his information, and wasn't "substantiated". Well, we already knew that. Steele gave the infirmation to the FBI so that THEY could see if it was substantial. That was the point. But FOX News practically implies that there was some crime. Then, the other "bombshell" is that a NY Times article had nine errors in it, but never named one of them. Even if it did, so what? The NY Times isn't part of the government, but FOX News has its viewers brainwashed into thinking the media are always working for the Democrats, lime it's an arm of the DNC. By the way, the DNC, just like the RNC, is nothing. They are poorly funded groups of mid-level politicians who brainstorm election stuff - usually poorly - and do clerical work. FOX News wants people to believe they have more power than God.

  41. You mean when they hired an American OPPO RESEARCH FIRM, the same one first hired by the Republicans? You can't have a quid pro quo with a foreign government. When did Clinton do that?

  42. Edward Sayers - If you are a Trump supporter, you have no room to criticize over security clearances. Or were you upset when Trump overrode them for 38 PEOPLE?
    2
  43. Never mind collusion, don't you Trumpers think the Russian attack should be investigated? Is that not expected? And how could looking at whether Americans were involved or not NOT be part if it? A probe was inevitable. Furthermore, it isn't like they looked and found nothing. They looked and found that Trump associates had been reaching out to the Russian government, lying about it, and acting suspicious. Trump should just cooperate and let it proceed.

  44. It's a no-brainer. If their entire state is in a winter crisis, a Senator shouldn't fly off to a resort town. Cruz could have taken his family to a four-star hotel and avoided scrutiny. Republicans rightfully ripped on Pelosi for going to a spa during the pandemic, and yes, the "liberal" media reported that. The Governor shouldn't blame frozen windmills, and a Texas Mayor should know better than to tell his town to suck it up and quit complaining.

  45. Elynor Sykes - Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Trump has a worse record than a broken clock.

  46. There are no good, strong arguments to defend Trump. When people have a weak argument, they get defensive. They dig in and double down. People feel they have to have an opinion, they have to form it immediately, and never back down. To Trump followers, it's not about solving problems. It's about winning the argument. They must know on some level that if Trump was a Democrat, they would take the exact opposite position. Imagine if it was Hillary Clinton's daughter and top people who had met with a foreign government to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief. Imagine if 16 Clinton associates had lied about it. Imagine if she had lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow in 2016. Imagine if Obama had lied 19,000 times in 3 years. If he accused Republicans of ridiculous, vast conspiracies every other day. Imagine if Obama had done nothing about reports of Russian bounties on US troops or a world pandemic. Imagine if he had spewed nonsense about COVID testing, hid White House visitor logs, called undocumented Mexicans rapists or the CIA Nazis, insulted war widows, tweeted daily insults, spoken like a rambling coot, asked China and Ukraine to investigate his rival, dangled pardons, fired people investigating him, complained constantly about Bush by name, accused the media of lying daily, surrounded himself with criminals, refused to release his tax returns, had record staff turnover, hired his family, talked like a racist...I could go on. Obama caught heat for wearing a tan suit. He was branded a traitor for telling a Russian diplomat he would be more flexible after an election - flexible to do what? It could have been anything. But anyone who raises an eyebrow about Trump's shady behavior is branded a traitor.

  47. One day soon, the headline will read "KUSHNER INDICTED", followed by a major Trump tweet storm, followed by an announcement by Trump - "As of noon tomorrow, I will resign the presidency", followed by a bunch of bitching about the the "fake" media, "witch hunt.. blah, blah, blah... "

  48. Attila Marics - They didn't lie about Jussie Smollette, and saying something is racist is an OPINION. You apparently don't even know what lie means.

  49. It was not a joke. It was not a strategy to call attention to it. That's the most absurd argument! 1)- There was already attention to it. 2)- The PRESIDENT can get all the attention he wants. Accept it. Trump has authoritarian tendencies. What would you think if Obama had tweeted that? USE YOUR BRAINS!

  50. You Don't Know Me - That was obviously a typo. Duh. Now, do you have an actual argument? Didn't think so.
