  1. Trump's best chance would be to argue that he can't be tried as an adult.
    1600
  2. I'd say she feels at home with the farm animals at the fair, but that would be an insult to the livestock.
    699
  3. Of course Trump was going to pardon Stone. He needed him for his campaign.
    530
  4. Five years ago, I didn't think politics could become more of a shitshow. Republicans proved me wrong.
    320
  5. He should be required to hold a town hall to answer to his constituents.
    319
  6. Just saw a funny post on another thread. - Trump finally won the popular vote.
    319
  7. He must be worried Kennedy will be more of a spoiler for himself than Biden.
    303
  8. If you're the President, and David Duke tweets that you support nationalism and support his cause, there is only one thing to do. You pick up your iPhone with your tiny, little hands, and you tweet, "I fully reject the support of David Duke, as well as the Klan, The Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, and all racist hate groups. Do not vote for me. You have no place in our country." Then, you immediately stop using the term, "Nationalist", no matter what new connotation you want to attach to it, because it's a loaded term. It's totally unnecessary to use, especially in this political climate, so just fucking drop it. So, why does he go there every time?
    278
  9. 57 more felonies to deal with.
    261
  10. I loved Biden's response to Pelosi saying he shouldn't debate Trump. "I'm going to debate him, and I'll be fact-checking him on the floor."
    237
  11. He lies more than Santos. They ousted him, so..?
    230
  12. Trump throws another tantrum like a spoiled child, and his followers act like the parents who spoiled him, throwing a fit along with him regardless of what the facts are.
    211
  13. When I was 16, I got a tailgating ticket and was convinced I didn't deserve it. My mother had to go to court with me and was livid that I argued with the judge. I was found guilty and sentenced to community service. I can't imagine if I'd told my mother, "I don't have to obey that judge. The President says so." How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?
    181
  14. Matt Gaetz is up there in the top ten.
    165
  15. Rick Matlock - She was arrested for obstructing the proceeding. The same people who had her arrested for that won't condemn the Capitol rioters for obstructing that procedure.
    160
  16. There is only one reason the GOP would block these bills. We all know what that is. Talk about disgraceful!
    153
  17. CNN, why don't you do some real investigative journalism? You make me sick.
    152
  18. His rhetoric now is LITERALLY indistinguishable from that of Mussolini and Hitler. If Kamala spoke like that and did what he did..? Everyone knows the answer to that.
    148
  19. If COVID symptoms were ebola symptoms where people bleed from all orifaces, one image of that on the news would have people wearing masks 24/7.
    139
  20. Isn't that funny? An ex con can't vote, but they can run for office.
    137
  21. "Many voters are questioning the integrity of the election we told them to question based on our lies."
    135
  22. An actual tweet by the President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen: "CNN and others in the Fake News Business keep purposely and inaccurately reporting that I said the “Media is the Enemy of the People.” Wrong! I said that the “Fake News (Media) is the Enemy of the People,” a very big difference. When you give out false information - not good!" Lemme get this straight - He's saying we're "wrong!" about who he means is being dishonest, but he won't tell us who that is. And he won't specify what "dishonest" things they're actually saying. Makes sense.
    135
  23. I wonder if that AG in Texas will still get that pardon.
    132
  24. The fact that he gave Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom in that setting says it all.
    131
  25. Saying "There's no collusion" over and over doesn't cut it. Trump has some explaing to do. If it's a Democrat/Clinton hoax, how did this hoax work? Who was involved? How could they have pulled-off this hoax WITHOUT involving certain people and/or agencies? Can he explain why 9 of his associates lied about Russian contacts? Why does Trump refuse to even acknowledge the Russian attack when his own son met with them for the stated purpose of interfering? What did he know and when did he know about the Trump Tower meeting? Flynn talking to the FBI? Papadopoulos seeking to meet with the Russians? Carter Page going to Moscow? The party platform change? Maybe it's all a big misunderstanding, and Trump, Mueller, and the lawyers will be laughing about it over drinks down at the Regal Beagle afterward. (eye roll).
    124
  26. Trump's got some nerve to cry "fraud" at the Democrats while he's had a political operative on his payroll for both his campaigns who refers to himself as a "political dirty trickster".
    123
  27. Hit him with EVERYTHING. Extorting Ukraine. Soliciting foreign election interference. The obstruction detailed in the Mueller report. Emoluments violations. Directing Cohen to commit felonies, FEC and bank fraud. Dangling pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. Altering an official weather chart. Abuse of power. Witness intimidation. Obstruction of Congress. And abusing the public trust by LYING OVER 13,000 TIMES.
    115
  28. Imagine if Obama had been consulting with Anderson Cooper every day. I'm sure Republicans would have been fine with that, right?
    112
  29. The Dirty Dems just can't stand to let an honest man drain the swamp, can they?
    110
  30. Do you Trump defenders hear themselves?? It's one thing to argue the facts. It's another to ignore facts, say "Oh, you just hate him", gaslight, and pretend we don't have VALID suspicions. But it's yet another thing to be HYPOCRITICAL about it! You know damn well that if it was Hillary Clinton, you would be outraged. You would be twice as outraged. Trump's behavior is NOT normal. You may say that's what you like about him, but don't act like that abnormality shouldn't be met with resistance. Imagine an airline pilot, after takeoff, announced, "I'll be letting my 14 year old son fly the plane today. He has no training. He's been drinking all day, but the kid's really good at piloting". Then, when you protest, he he says, "Oh, quit your bitching. He's never crashed before". With the Russia probe, people tend to assume Trump, himself, is the "biggest fish", but really, he is the second biggest. Putin is the biggest fish. The Russians attacked our election. The feds and the intelligence people would have been neglecting their duties if they DIDN'T investigate this. The reason we had to get a Special Council is because Trump refused to realize this. You can argue that Trump is innocent, but you cannot say he hasn't been acting the way guilty people act. Trump and SIXTEEN of his associates lied about 101 denied Russian contacts. That is a FACT, and NONE have offered a reasonable explanation. Cut the crap with that "witch hunt" and "fake news" BS! You can't even say, if the media didn't, technically LIE, then they're "biased". You lost that angle when Trump co-opted FOX News as a virtual PR arm of the government. ALL MSM run the same top stories because they are newsworthy. Do you think British BBC works for the DNC? Do you think partly government funded PBS is biased? Do you think Republicans - who who were FULLY in charge for the first 2 years - wouldn't raise hell if they thought these stories were skewed against Trump? You can have your own opinions, but not your own facts. Didn't Trump run as an outsider and a rebel? Then what the hell did he expect?? Even if you don't like how the FREE press reports FACTS, it is necessary for an informed citizenry, which is crucial to democracy. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You can't focus on CNN, and ignore that ALL of these outlets report the SAME FACTS. You can't act like every piece of suspicious behavior has to be a "smoking gun" or else it is has no merit. There is a HUGE circumstantial case here. Furthermore, if Mueller totally absolves Trump, but proves half his staff colluded with Russia, you cannot say, "See, it was a witch hunt". We HAVE TO find out what happened.
    108
  31. Funny how Biden gets so much shit for extremely rarely and mildly talking about Trump and the MAGA crowd the way Trump talked and still talks about Biden and liberals ALL THE TIME.
    101
  32. You've got to admit that what happened sure fits the dictionary definition of insurrection. Obstructing an official proceeding couldn't be more on the nose.
    100
  33. The DHS report says those places are "ticking time bombs".
    99
  34. Lifetime appointments are meant to keep them non-political. Also, to stop politicians from being able to reverse laws too often.
    99
  35. When I was 16, I got a tailgating ticket and was convinced I didn't deserve it. My mother had to go to court with me and was livid that I argued with the judge. I was found guilty and sentenced to community service. I can't imagine if I'd told my mother, "I don't have to obey that judge. The President says so." How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?
    98
  36. Trump said his personal Vietnam was trying not to get STDs. Seeing as he'll bang porn stars without a condom, I'll bet he lost that war.
    94
  37. The only thing the Republicontrarian party does nowadays is oppose the Dems no matter what. Instead of trying to contribute to the majority's work on policy issues, they reflexively sabotage the work of the Dems, even when it means opposing ideas that are popular with people across the board. The RNC didn't even bother to create a policy platform this last time around. The last CPAC was about nothing but galvanizing loyalty to Donald Trump and calling doctors fascists. We're left with an expensive, ineffective government. Then, the GOP says, "See, big government doesn't work." Yeah, because they're breaking it. Government failure actually HELPS THEM get elected. The GOP is the only entity in America that makes it their stated goal to destroy their own institution. Imagine interviewing for a job and saying, "I plan to work hard, get promoted, and eventually destroy this company from the inside."
    94
  38. The coat hanger industry will be booming.
    93
  39. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.
    92
  40. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. He has endorsed police brutality. He endorses violence against opponents at his rallies. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words.
    92
  41. Mike - You obviously thought wrong. You can only use that line, "But I thought you..." if someone actually says they think a certain way. YOU are saying they think that way, dimwit.
    90
  42. Yeah, because slavery, as DeSantis said, was job training.
    89
  43. That didn't take long.
    88
  44. Where am I? I woke up on November 9, 2016 in some alternate universe. It's mostly the same as where I'm from, except 35% of the people here are backing some orange, alien thing they call their leader who does EVERYTHING that was totally unacceptable in a president back home. No matter what, they don't care.
    86
  45. michael lleb - What does CNN have to do with it?
    83
  46. Just like I thought, when he lost, he started hating everybody - even his own staff, donors, and his media lapdogs at FOX News. Hey Trump supporters - HE HATES YOU, TOO.
    82
  47. Nukes at the command of narcissistic, megalomaniacal world leaders worries the hell out of me whether they're in the hands of Putin, Kim Jong Un, or Donald Trump. What happens when those people age bitterly, not yet reaching their idealistic goals, get isolated and paranoid, all while their narcissism has them thinking the world begins and ends with them?
    81
  48. Un-effing-believable that Trump has ANY support.
    78
  49. Gorilla-Q-Nutz - What does that even mean? Yes, they have their own fact checkers. Duh. How is that criminal? Oh yeah, it doesn't matter what the actual comment is. Any ridiculous excuse to slam the media.
    78
  50. If Trump is reelected it will be once shame on him, twice shame on America.
    77
  51. The oldest rhetorical, political tricks in the book: - "Nobody wants big government. Give the rich more, they'll make more, and it will trickle down. Plus, you also get a tax cut". They throw you a bone, and while you're gnawing the scraps, the rich use the windfall to buy new toys and lobby for more tax cuts. - "I'm an outsider. I'm not beholden to special interests". Yeah. Not yet. - "It's about national security. We have to do this NOW". What a convenient way to get around scrutiny and play on peoples' fears. - "I'm a regular guy, so I understand you". Do you want your surgeon to be a regular joe? Your airline pilot? Your lawyer? You choose those with expertise in the field. - "It's not my fault. It's those 'others' among you. I'll help you deal with them". See Hitler, the war on drugs, maniacal cult leaders, and civil wars throughout history. Trump followers, does any of this ring a bell?
    73
  52. Hope Hicks was on Air Force One when Trump drafted his son's statement about the Trump Tower meeting. A Trump staffer quit his job then, saying he didn't want to be part of Obstruction of Justice, and said there were documents proving that they were lying in the statement. Hope Hicks said, "Yeah, but nobody is going to see those documents".
    68
  53. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they gas their own people?" It's because they don't consider them their own, or even people at all. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy and for cutting unemployment in half, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. Devoid of any class or respect, he bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) I guess, to Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrannical monarch. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news" Washington Post? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" Trump actually considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election to install Trump as President. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump is a traitor, loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed miserably with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you FOX News junkies and Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. You Russian trolls already know. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.
    67
  54. NikNakSukMaCak 21 - There was a 2-3% death rate. It is 7 times as deadly as the flu. It had our hospitals at capacity. And is death the only thing that matters? Yeah, so what if a million people wind up alone in a hospital bed for 6 weeks struggling to breathe, then spend the next ten years paying the bill?
    66
  55. If COVID symptoms were ebola symptoms where people bleed from all orifaces, one image of that on the news would have people wearing masks 24/7.
    66
  56. Does he not see the writing on the wall? 11 investigations. He should pack his shit and go.
    65
  57. Blob Fatterson - I'm all white, and I've been screwed with by the cops without justification, too. But It's a racial thing IN ADDITION to a cop thing. I've seen my black friends go through it.
    64
  58. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.
    63
  59. Here's why things are about to get really bad for Trump: Ask yourself, do you really think Trump had no knowledge of A) The Republican party platform language change. B) The Trump Tower meeting. C) Michael Flynn's sanction talk with Kislyak. D) Flynn talking to the FBI. E) Don Jr messaging Wikileaks. F) Papadopoulos seeking hacked emails from Russia? And there's more he has denied. Trump doesn't know who has told Mueller what. There has been an FBI counter-intelligence probe going on since summer of 2016. Even before that, key figures in the Trump campaign showed-up on the Obama administration intelligence community's radar - largely due to Australian, British, and Dutch intelligence. (Think Clinton got THEM to join-in on her "hoax", too?) Well, Don Don is going to have to go on record eventually. If he contradicts others' statements in ANY of these matters, we're going to get a glimpse into some sources and methods. He is flirting with perjury and obstruction. He isn't too bright. He is far from truthful. If he thought he wasn't even going to win the election, he probably didn't cover his tracks very well. "What did he know and when did he know it?" Remember, Clinton was impeached for Perjury about a personal matter. The first article of impeachment against Nixon was going to be Obstruction. The IC isn't going to like it too much if his stubborn tenacity keeps him from resigning because they don't want to give up sources and methods. It's all stacking-up against him.
    61
  60. - Imagine Joe Biden's lawyer telling an angry mob to march to the Capitol and have a trial by combat. - Imagine Barack Obama siding with Putin over the CIA in front of the world, then trying to say he actually meant the opposite. - Imagine Chelsae Clinton, her husband, and John Podesta being caught meeting with Chinese intelligence officers in 2016 to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. - Imagine Barack Obama lying about a pandemic that had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. - Imagine what happened in 2000 happened in 2020. Trump wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral college by 500 votes in one state where Biden's brother is the governor. Now imagine, in that scenario, that the Republicans control the House and Senate. - Imagine, as it was in 1998, that the Special Council investigating Trump was a member of the opposing party. - Imagine Hillary Clinton on an audio recording telling someone she can grab men by the junk because she's a star. - Imagine Joe Biden destroying interpreter notes from a meeting with the Chinese President and instructing the attendees not to talk about it with White House staff. - Imagine Barack Obama's personal lawyer, two campaign managers, campaign "dirty trickster", National Security Advisor, campaign Security Advisor, and inauguration manager being convicted of felonies. Imagine he also set a record for cabinet members and staff leaving in scandal. - Imagine Obama's charity being shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality." I could go on and on for hours with things like this right off the top of my head. The MAGA crowd KNOWS how they would feel if any of the above had happened.
    60
  61. This is like the end of Scarface. Trump is screaming, "Say hello to my little friend!" His little friend is Rudy Giuliani.
    59
  62. Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks a few FBI agents or Antifa members. could incite a riot on the spot, but that Trump, Giuliani, and Stone couldn't possibly incite one with months of inflammatory rhetoric. It was the FBI and Antifa, but they don't want an investigation. Makes sense.
    58
  63. Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks a few FBI agents or Antifa members could incite a riot on the spot, but that Trump, Giuliani, and Stone couldn't possibly incite one with months of inflammatory rhetoric. It was the FBI and Antifa, but they don't want an investigation. Makes sense.
    58
  64. Trump wants schools open so bad because it's necessary for DeVos to make money with her privitization scheme.
    58
  65. That style of rifle is marketed to the unstable, and nobody needs magazines that hold dozens of rounds of organ-shredding bullets. Want to hunt? Buy a normal hunting rifle. Want to protect your home? Get a pistol or a shotgun. We had an assault weapons ban before, and the gun companies didn't go bankrupt. So what's the problem? We can't even discontinue one style of rifle? It's insane.
    58
  66. Guests on Maury Povich accept lie detector and DNA test results, but Trump followers won't accept the findings of 98% of the world's climate scientists. (smh). With no evidence, in defiance of common sense, they assert that 98% are funded by special interests, but they believe the tiny fraction who are known to work for the oil and coal lobbies. (face palm). Since Trump took office, I have whiplash and a nasty bruise on my forehead.
    56
  67. If the people should decide, then the people deserve for his two federal criminal trials to happen before the election. Even Nixon said, "The American people deserve to know if their President is a crook".
    56
  68. Why are you sitting there reading this? Go vote!
    55
  69. Brandy Y "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.
    54
  70. When those generals started speaking out, Trump's numbers finally took a dive. He may "have the cops", but he doesn't have the military.
    54
  71. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, to the mob on 1.6.21. But I'm sure Trump said to Rudy when he got off stage, "Not cool, Rudy. We want this to be peaceful." Right?
    54
  72. Fernando Gonzalez - LOL. You're saying that in defense of Donald Trump? Really? Seriously?
    53
  73. Don't go away mad. Just go away.
    52
  74. Trump has no fucking idea what he is doing. None.
    52
  75. Both Mnuchin and Jared are making deals in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
    52
  76. White Hart - How dare he certify the results of an election after exhausting EVERY mechanism for contesting the results and finding they were accurate!

  77. Please wear a mask so others don't have to wear toe tags.
    51
  78. Well, we can't say Trump didn't warn us that he would pull this crap.
    51
  79. Julian hobrough - Bitter much? You should fuck off.

  80. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  81. William B - Wow, what a clever argument. "I know you are, but what am I?" Now, do you care to actually address the facts in the comment? The fact that it is Trump who is the habitual liar? Nah, just say, "Nuh uh. That's YOU", and throw in a juvenile, derogatory nickname for Democrats. You're pathetic.
    49
  82. A debate would cut into his insider trading time.
    48
  83. McCain just passed away. Flake and Corker are retiring. Rand Paul is out of his mind. Lindsey Graham is a flip-flopping hypocrite. Any halfway decent Republican Senators left? The Republican Congressmen are all sleazy. Two were just indicted - One has the nerve to blame his wife. The whole White House is a swamp. Even FOX News is criticizing Trump. This is the beginning of the end of the Republican party. Good riddence.
    47
  84. Graham gave Biden the old "It's not personal, just business" line after smearing him. "That's just the way the game is played", huh? Graham is a disgusting joke.
    46
  85. This is like the end of Scarface. Trump is screaming, "Say hello to my little friend!" His little friend is Giuliani.

  87. Quick, before he pardons himself and his family.

  88. A Russian who helped Don Jr set up the Trump Tower meeting wrote in an email that it was about Russian "GOVERNMENT support for your father". Why would he write that, knowing US intel might see it? Blackmail. When Don Jr went along with it, the Russians then knew what we didn't. When Trump lied about having deals with Russia during the campaign, the Russians knew he was lying about the Trump Tower Moscow project. That could be used as blackmail. Acting AG, Sally Yates, tried to explain to Trump that Michael Flynn's intercepted conversations with the Russian ambassador about sanctions could be used as blackmail. Trump did not understand that. He didn't fire Flynn immediately. He resisted. He later fired Yates. James Comey tried to explain to Trump that a rumored "pee tape", IF it existed, could be used as blackmail. Trump did not understand that. He took offense to it. Then, he fired Comey. Now, we find out Trump has been hiding transcripts of his meetings with Putin - even from his own administration. No, he doesn't have to release those transcripts to the public. Yes, he has to KEEP A RECORD. There are good reasons why new Presidents release their tax returns and divest their businesses. Now, we have a President we know has had dealings with Russia, but we don't know much more than that. But the Russias know. You Trump followers need to wise up.
    45
  89. McConnell sold his soul to the devil.
    45
  90. They don't look past their noses. Whatever benefits their side. That's how dictatorships start - The dictator manufactures a grievance and tells them the "others" among them have been screwing them. Then, he says only he can stop them. He gives them what he has gotten them to think they want, secures their loyalty, then screws EVERYBODY. Then, manufactures another grievance...(repeat)
    45
  91. Say an employee gets caught stealing from the company, but quits before they get fired. Does that mean they should be eligible for re-hire? Remember when Bush got into trouble for saying "Bring 'em on" in reference to terrorists? Hey, he was just exercising free speech, right? The last thing Democrats, especially Joe Biden, wanted to be doing in the first weeks of the new administration was to be impeaching the guy who they finally got rid of. It was not good for Dems politically. But ethics and accountability dictated that they had to impeach him. If Republicans had any ethics or desire for accountability, they wouldn't be making that stupid argument that Dems love to hate him so much that they can't let him go. Yes, many Dems hated him and wanted to impeach him on day one - FOR GOOD REASONS. Look what he did in office. He had zero government experience, but didn't even care about learning the job. He lied, divided, and screwed-up everything he did. He raised valid concerns that he was breaking the law in concert with foreign adversaries. He wouldn't let a single day go by without doing something controversial and outrageous. This has been simple from the beginning: If Obama had done and said the exact same things Trump did and said, Republicans would have responded the same way Dems have. I am absolutely sure of that.
    44
  92. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has a ?? (I always forget that word) Not an anagram. Not an abbreviation... what's the word? Anyway, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.
    43
  93. The GOP takes votes, but says "vote this way or else." Democracy, Russian style.
    43
  94. Manly Moesha - What a lot of people wrongly call "race baiting" is simply talking about race. The more racially prejudiced a person is, the more likely they will be of the opinion that racism should be dealt with by not talking about it. That makes sense, as it makes these people uncomfortable with themselves. It's uncomfortable to talk about it, too, but it's the better way to deal with it.
    43
  95. Ryan Wiley - A result, partly, but that's not the FAULT of the black president.
    42
  96. And don't let him say he's immune because it was somehow in the course of "presidential duties"!
    42
  97. AJ101 - It's 5 times as deadly as the flu, and it is more than the health care system can handle, asshole.
    42
  98. First, the microbes reproduce, spread out and spread more disease. The ice caps melt, raising sea level, and forcing coastal populations inland while the population is already rising. Rising temperatures spawn stronger hurricanes, which kill more sea grass, leaving more CO2 in the atmosphere. Less ice at the poles reflect fewer photons back into space, heating up the earth even more. We are releasing eons worth of carbon into the atmosphere in a matter of hundreds of years by drilling for oil like there is no tomorrow. Rocket scientists study this stuff, but it's not rocket science. We can measure how much greenhouse gas we pump into the environment, and we know what it does.
    41
  99. That's not even the dumbest thing he has said today, and it's still early.
    41
  100. What's the difference between a chick pea and a garbonzo bean? Trump never had a garbonzo bean on his face. Why is Melania always on top during sex? Because Donald always screws up.
    41
  101. And it will probably cost them their seats, too. They're betting on the wrong horse.

  102. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  103. Please wear a mask so others don't have to wear toe tags.
    39
  104. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. Dems need to specifically say that to the public. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.
    39
  105. Trump's son's own words prove they colluded with the Russians.
    39
  106. The same people who oppose school and business closures are usually the same people who refuse to wear masks, and who are less likely to get vaccinated. You don't have to be a socialist to understand that we live in a society, and that "I do me, and you do you," when taken to an extreme, is just as bad as losing your idividuality to the collective. It really isn't complicated. Some things are individual and some are communal. Communicable diseases require the community to fight them. This only has to be temporary if people would just do their part.
    39
  107. Remember, Trump said it was perfectly okay to solicit election help from foreign governments, although I'm sure he wouldn't think it was okay if his opponents did it.
    38
  108. Some people want to do a good job and look good doing it. Some feel that doing a good job is what makes you look good. Trump never cared about actually doing a good job. He put all of his energy into looking good, and his ugly ass failed at both.
    38
  109. Pathetic administration
    38
  110. According to the Washington Post, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Trump is at over 7500 in less than 2 years.

  111. Mystery Saupe - Did you scout-out the universe for us? I know there's intelligent life on Europa because an alien from there named "Bwqqfwarg3" (sounds just like it's spelled) sends messages and pics to my Facebook account. He says once I send him enough money, he can afford to come visit and pay me back for the ticket.
    37
  112. d j - Two questions: 1)- What did they lie about? 2)- Did you mind when Trump lied 22,000 times in 4 years?

  114. zara - It's worse for those who have actual anxiety disorders. People who don't have them don't understand. It's like trying to describe a migraine to someone who has only had mild headaches.
    36
  115. Danny Stillwell - Almost all of those election fraud claims are like that - literally impossible to do. Trump's gullible base refuses to think about that. "There was a box of ballots under one poll worker's table!" That implies a MAJOR, coordinated counterfeiting, identity theft, recruiting, hacking, and money laundering operation - in dozens of counties and multiple states, all using different kinds of ballots, machines, printing presses, distributers...They don't think. I'll never understand how the Big Lie got so much traction!
    36
  116. Apparently, this spreads by close contact for a moderately short period of time.

  117. This is no longer politics. It's psychology now.

  118. "306 - 232. That's a shellacking" - Donald Trump
    35
  119. Mike Burton - Well said.
    35
  120. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.
    35
  121. "Let's have trial by combat!" Imagine if Joe Biden's lawyer said that as Biden cheered him on! Trump followers know very well what they'd think and you can be sure they'd want an investigation that the Dems would absolutely want, too.
    34
  122. Robert Hartford - When you spend a campaign openly buddying-up to a foreign adversary, asking them for dirt on your opponent, 16 of your people lie about their activities, and you fire the FBI Director over it, you get investigated. Would you have been okay with it if Biden, Clinton or Obama had done that or would you want an investigation?
    34
  123. Aw, come on. They planted those bombs outside of the Capitol. What tourist attraction doesn't have at least some explosives lying around? Last time I was at Disneyworld, I stepped over two landmines in the parking lot. Then we went in and got ice cream from Mickey Mouse. Good, wholesome fun.
    34
  124. Doublespeak. Deny facts. Authoritarianism. Trump is an Orwellian nightmare. I'd say he's the devil, but the devil is supposed to be smart.
    34
  125. If a MAGA cultist went on a space walk, they'd say, "Radiation, schmadiation. I don't need to come in. I can't feel it. What a hoax!" And even up there in orbit, they'd look down and swear the Earth is flat.
    34
  126. Everyone knows that the best platform for the White House to get helpful information to the public is late-night infomercials.
    33
  127. Just the other day, Trump was (falsly) claiming that Obama didn't do much to deal with Russian election interference.
    33
  128. Let me get this straight: Supposedly, EVERYBODY was in on the scam - Individual voters, poll workers, mail carriers, local election boards, the media, the DNC, Biden himself, all Democrats, many Republicans, CISA, the DOJ, Soros, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... And they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only those on Biden's side did this. None were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!? Do these people hear themselves?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/05/politics/trump-november-election-roundup/index.html
    33
  129. Well, you know McCain got to thinking about the orange blowhard standing next to his body, talking shit, somehow making it about himself and blaming the media for lying about his feuds with McCain and how he never said he liked people who don't get caught... Fuck that.
    33
  130. Whatever Trump tries to say, WE pay for the tariffs. It's a tax on IMPORTS that get passed on to the consumer.
    33
  131. Once you've accused people of being satanic, cannibalistic child molesters, I don't think there's any way to top that. It's obvious they just thought about the very worst things anyone can be and decided that's what they are. And for some reason, they're all Democrats. A left-wing sex traffick ring. That's hilarious to me. Ask the pedophiles in prison why they did it. I seriously doubt they'd say Obama and the Clintons inspired them.
    33
  132. Oh, he's pissed. He put three Justices on the SCOTUS, and thinks they owed him.
    32
  133. Are the families of 210,000 deceased and many more sick people calling it a blessing from God? God gave us brains to reason out the necessary precautions to take, but it only works if you use them.
    32
  134. I wish she could press his mute button.
    32
  135. Regulatory Affairs - Right off the bat, you are arbitrarily using Trump's number as the "correct" one. You could just as easily use Biden's. Duh. The votes have been recounted. The machines have been audited. This has been litigated. Trump refused to actually claim fraud in court, and he cannot specify who was in on this "scheme" or how it was done other than to say everyone - the media, Biden, individual voters, the DNC, the ghost of Hugo Chavez...all were on on it. Yet, zero evidence. I voted for Biden, and I was never informed of any plot. I didn't cheat. Trump polled 10 points behind Biden. He never had an approval rating over 50%. He insulted half the country on a regular basis. Your claims are ABSURD.
    32
  136. 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.
    32
  137. Jack Bauer - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."
    31
  138. tim yu - Do you people even know what you're accusing Biden of with the Chinese? "He GOT money from China!" That's all you can say. You can't explain it one bit. Got money from WHO? In what capacity? To do WHAT? What was supposedly criminal or unethical? You don't even know. You just parrot the line. It's like "Obamagate." Even Trump refused to explain what that is! But his followers just say "Obamagate! Obama spied on his campaign!" Never knowing what the hell you're talking about. Just vague implications about things you don't understand. Your ignorance and indoctrination is so obvious to anyone with half a brain.
    31
  139. To Democratic candidates: The country is sharply divided 60/40. You have that 60%. You aren't going to lose any of us. Put that 60% aside. Of the remaining 40%, half is firmly Trumpian. It's also, more or less, the 20% of the population as a whole that is misinformed, batshit crazy, conspiracy-minded, and uninterested in the truth. They hear what they want to. They're hopelessly stuck on Trump. Put them aside, too. That leaves the other 20%. That group contains the 2016 Obama to Trump voters. They voted for Trump because they felt neglected and frustrated by the government, whether that was justified or not. They are on the smarter, saner end of the Trumpland spectrum. They're not the sharpest pencils in the box. They've been misinformed by Trump and right-wing media. They don't know much about government, and frankly, who can really blame them for not wanting to keep up with the circus that is politics? Democrats - those people, that 20%, should be your target! Yes, rally your base, but that alone won't do it. When you rally your side, you also rally theirs. Give that 20% the attention they want. I'm NOT saying pander to them insincerely, and definitely don't agree with them and the ideas that their lying, narcissistic, fear-mongering president has planted in their heads. But try to inform them and explain in simple terms why they should leave the cult of Trump without rattling-off talking points like a robotic, liberal Mike Pence. Run on a message, (I suggest education), AND ALSO be anti-Trump. Democrats can get a lot more votes from the other side than Republicans can. And, by the way, the reason we have minority rule in the first place is Republican gerrymandering. Republican Representation in Congress is grossly disproportionate to the population, so folks shouldn't believe Trump's bullshit about the system being skewed to the Democrats.

  140. globalswitch17 - So, you think hospitals are faking records and officials are faking death certificates? Put it out. You shouldn't smoke the whole thing at once.
    31
  141. After this "Stop the Steal" nonsense fizzles, Trump will begin his scorched Earth campaign.
    31
  142. My criticism of Omar has been that she is too ambitious for a newbie and that she doesn't know how to sell her ideas across the aisle. Boebert has no ambition towards doing her actual job whatsoever and doesn't care to learn. She's just a downright nasty woman.
    31
  143. Trump/Lindell 2024! Slogan - You ain't seen crazy yet!
    31
  144. Not only does he act guilty, he fails to act innocent. Often, that's how the guilty get caught. Like, why was he not upset with his associates for contacting Russia if his policy was to stay away?
    31
  145. The cabinet members don't want to have to weigh-in on the 25th Amendment.
    31
  146. At this point, anyone who defends Trump and his ilk are at least one of four things: 1- A Russian troll. 2- A lawyer for Trump. 3 - A FOX News employee, (Even some of them can't defend him). 4 - Among the dumbest, most naive fools on the planet.
    31
  147. I saw it, too.

  148.  @CReck-ch6et  C. Reck - If Waters is guilty of incitement, then Trump and the Republicans are super duper guilty. You can't have it both ways.
    30
  149. Republicans censured Liz Cheney for voting to impeach Trump. They basically said that, even though House Republicans were being asked to vote one of two ways, they had to vote one way or else they'd be in trouble. Is there anything less democratic than that? That's what they do in Russia and North Korea. They have elections, but voters have to vote one way or else. Do Republicans really not understand that?

  152. C N - - PROTESTING, (not rioting), AND attending a Trump rally are BOTH UNSAFE. - Most protesters wear masks. Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns. You can watch him lie on TV.

  153. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  157. Trump's post-acquittal statement: "It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree. I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honorably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate." Anyone with more than three active brain cells and half a clue knows he is describing HIMSELF. So, Democrats did all of those things, and by the same standard, he did NOT?? WTF?? - His party controlled the entire government for the first half of his presidency. What "free pass"? - HE denigrated the rule of law. - HE encouraged a riot that killed and maimed law enforcement officers as HE cheered on a mob. That is OBVIOUS. He has the nerve to even mention law enforcement? BLM protests were not created by, and the ensuing riots were not encouraged by the Dems. How the fk do all of these idiots not see that?? - HE blacklisted, cancelled and suppressed. - HE viciously fought against anyone who didn't agree with him, even with those in his own party, and on his own staff, even if they were fiercely loyal to him up until the one time they disagreed. EVERYTHING Trump said applies to HIMSELF. What a disgusting, vengeful, stupid, sociopathic, incompetent, narcissistic piece of zhit.
    28
  158. The News In ASL - His vindictive nature. Weaponizing the DOJ. Asserting that Article 2 lets him do whatever he wants. Inciting the January 6th riots. Going after journalists. Saying Hitler did good things... No liberal will answer? Really? I could go on and on! Want to understand it? Imagine Biden or Obama acted like him. Get it now?
    28
  159. 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.

  160. Phil J.L Fig - LIBERALS are not forcing you to get the vaccine. Health care professionals, employers and politicians want you to get it because of public health. Offering incentives and calling you is "intrusive"?? Yeah, how dare they give you a chance to win money or offer you a free beer. This hyper-partisanship on the right is insane! It's CLOUDING YOUR JUDGEMENT. Everything is not about politics.

  167. When I was 16, I got a tailgating ticket and was convinced I didn't deserve it. My mother had to go to court with me and was livid that I argued with the judge. I was found guilty and sentenced to community service. I can't imagine if I'd told my mother, "I don't have to obey that judge. The President says so." How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?
    27
  168. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.
    27
  169. Mr. Hamster - What does CNN have to do with it? You do know they're over 99% factually accurate, right? You know Trump lied over 25,000 times in 4 years, right? Did you complain about his lies? Of course not. You don't care about honesty. You only care about your tribe.

  170. I hate him, and I very rarely hate anyone.
    27
  171. Comey was fired while he was in L.A. He found out on TV. Trump complained to McCabe when he saw on TV that Comey was taking a government plane home. When McCabe said he didn't authorize the flight, but would have, as per protocol, Trump told McCabe to "ask your wife what it feels like to be a loser". That's the petty, vindictive piece of shit who is leading the country.

  181. White Hart - No chain of custody? Like the fraudit in Arizona? CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.
    25
  182. - 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. - Where there is a drug and child slave, and cheap labor SUPPLY, there is a DEMAND that we need to deal with. - 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? - Why shouldn't Trump 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. - We need comprehensive immigration reform. A path to citizenship, clear asylum policies, sensible border security measures, drug policy, including demand side solutions, legalized marijuana, and trade deals that INCLUDE security measures.

  183. Danny Trump - False. There is a 2-3% death rate. It is 5 times as deadly as the flu. It has our hospitals at capacity. And is death the only thing that matters? Yeah, so what if a million people wind up alone in a hospital bed for 6 weeks struggling to breathe, then spend the next ten years paying the bill?
    25
  184. Trump coordinates with FOX News and has hired scores of people from there. But I'm sure Trump followers would have been fine with Obama talking to Anderson Cooper every night like Trump talks to Sean Hannity and Rupert Murdoch.

  186. Say an employee gets caught stealing from the company, but quits before they get fired. Does that mean they should be eligible for re-hire? Remember when Bush got into trouble for saying "Bring 'em on" in reference to terrorists? Hey, he was just exercising free speech, right? The last thing Democrats, especially Joe Biden, wanted to be doing in the first weeks of the new administration was to be impeaching the guy they finally got rid of. It wasn't good for Dems politically. Ethics and accountability dictated that they had to impeach him. If Republicans had any ethics or desire for accountability, they wouldn't be making that stupid argument that Dems love to hate him so much that they can't let him go.

  187. Cop - "So, you're reporting a theft. Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think it was them?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where is it missing?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He was reaching for a Kit Kat bar." Donald - "What about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack, plus, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...but they love Joe. I think a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe. It must be why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits have suspicions, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  191. Dearly Diane - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  192. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

  201. Trump called the Russian bounty reports a "hoax". Well, that's the same as 1)- Telling Russia they can get away with anything they want to do to us, and 2)- that he will not condemn Russia, not even to say, "even if you didn't, you better not," and he will take no action at all to deal with this. Did he need proof when he was accusing Biden of crimes? Obama? Iran? North Korea (sometimes)? Joe Scarborough? Clinton? Ted Cruz' father? BLM? The "deep state"..?

  202. Politics are about getting and keeping the job. Governing is about doing the job. The Republicans are stuck on the former. It's bad enough when they see it as a zero-sum game, but worse that they see it as a war. On a perpetual war footing, they resist ANY kind of cooperation. Republicans see that as giving in to the enemy. Especially since 2016, it's been a simple strategy of making their base think that even a bad Republican (like Trump) is better than an "evil, communist" Democrat who "wants to destroy America." That prevents them from even criticizing their own. It's why they defended Trump no matter what. Supposedly, he was flawless, even though he was obviously very flawed at best.

  203. Bryan Halstead - Yeah, speaking of tribal partisanship, you people act like it's the job of the president to alienate half of the country. You people judge his performance on how much he can piss off his political opposition. Not thec way it's supposed to work. Republicans define themselves by their opposition, not by ideas. Grow up.

  207. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  218. Funny what Trump and the Republicans think are threats to our country. "Liberals are overreacting to a world pandemic. Our freedom is at stake if we wear masks for a few months. Kids are going to turn out stupid and emotionally distressed if they miss a few months of school. People will turn into lonely, suicidal drug addicts if they can't go to bars for a while." "Russian election interference is no big deal. Liberals are paranoid!" But simply INVESTIGATING the Trump campaign reaching out to them is "treason" and "damaging the country," right? "Liberal BLM terrorists are creating anarchy in the streets. They have some nerve to protest a tiny problem like police brutality! But those statues are SACRED! They're socialists trying to take over. You'll wake up tomorrow in 1959 Cuba if you even acknowledge the problem of systemic racism!"

  220. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  221. The Trump Administration cherry picks stats and flat-out lies.

  222. The only thing the Republicontrarian party does nowadays is oppose the Dems no matter what. Instead of trying to contribute to the majority's work on policy issues, they reflexively sabotage the work of the Dems, even when it means opposing ideas that are popular with people across the board. The RNC didn't even bother to create a policy platform this last time around. The last CPAC was about nothing but galvanizing loyalty to Donald Trump and calling doctors fascists. We're left with an expensive, ineffective government. Then, the GOP says, "See, big government doesn't work." Yeah, because they're breaking it. Government failure actually HELPS THEM get elected. The GOP is the only entity in America that makes it their stated goal to destroy their own institution. Imagine interviewing for a job and saying, "I plan to work hard, get promoted, and eventually destroy this company from the inside."

  224. There is very credible evidence that Trump committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. His charity was shut down for fraud. His "university" was shut down for fraud. He's under investigation in Georgia for election tampering. His company's CFO has been indicted. His longtime ally has been indicted for violating FARA laws that resulted in UAE interests winding up in Trump's speeches. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, said he was "joking." He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He's a compulsive liar who made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. Trump wanted to send Joe Biden, a prominent American, former Senator and VP, to Ukraine - a country he acknowledged has a crooked legal system - to face manufactured charges. He ran a campaign based on locking up another political rival, a prominent former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Trump wanted to send an Ambassador to Russia from the Obama Administration to Russia so Putin could jail, and most likely torture him. I hope Trump gets the book thrown at him.

  227. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  230.  @DontTreadOnMe17  When you spend a campaign openly buddying-up to a foreign adversary, asking them for dirt on your opponent, 16 of your people lie about their activities, and you fire the FBI Director over it, you get investigated. Would you have been okay with it if Biden, Clinton or Obama had done that or would you want an investigation? - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances.

  233. I just watched 25 minutes of Tucker Carlson Tonight. What the fuck did I watch? I made a deliberate effort to watch it, with no distractions and an open mind. Is it supposed to be... satire without the jokes? I've tried to watch Hannity and Pirro. I usually make it about three minutes, before I say, "What the hell are you even TALKING about?" Before, I thought, "Maybe I'm not giving it a chance. Maybe CNN and MSNBC are 'fake news'". Now, I'm wondering why anyone would put that shit on the air without jokes. Is he trying to be ironic? Is FOX serious? Normally, I'd dismiss that crap as obnoxious bs and change the channel, but Carlson was saying the same things Tump voters say. They VOTE! It's one-way talking, obnoxious and incoherent skipping from one subject to the next in the same sentences. It's devoid of any fact whatsoever, and racist as hell. I mean, my God, the racism! Why? The topics have nothing to do with race, yet everything is an accusation that liberals are racist. Trump coordinates with Sean Hannity. They say Hannity practically has a desk in the West Wing. It's state-run media and media-run state, but "CNN is 'fake news'"? Trumpers, you've got to THINK before you regurgitate those talking points!

  245. 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.

They hacked voter rolls. They hacked two Florida counties' polling stations. They hacked the DNC and weaponized the information. They came to New York and met with Trump's top people. They were given campaign updates and polling data by Trump's campaign manager. They funnelled money to the campaign through the NRA. THEY COLLUDED WITH THE CANDIDATE. THIS IS PROVEN FACT, SO FUCK OFF WITH YOUR BULLSHIT, YOU FUCKING TROLL.

  258. This is clearly designed to paint all Democrats and protesters as violent anarchists, (but somehow also communist), as a wedge issue for the election.

It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  264. David J - It's bizarre and amazing how many times your statement has applied to the MAGA crowd over the past 5 years. If Obama did it..? If Obama did SO MANY things that Trump did and said, the MAGA crowd would have taken the exact opposite position. I've asked that question - "If Obama did it?" so many times, and they NEVER answer because they know what position they would take. Yet, they persist.

  268. There's so much video of Trump contradicting himself and saying stupid things, he's wriiten the Dems' attack ads for them. We need some deep fake videos done Sara Cooper style, but with Trump's voice anf actual words coming out of Obama's mouth. And instead of poi ting out his most egregious lies, Dems should scroll all 19000 of them on the screen.

Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout.

  271. 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.

  272. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  273.  @CReck-ch6et  So, if a gangster says "whack" instead of "kill" or a drug dealer calls cocaine "blow", they're innocent? Giuliani said, "Let's have trial by combat!" to that crowd while Trump cheered him on from feet away. Cut the gaslighting. We know what they wanted. This is really simple. If that was Biden and his lawyer, what would you say?

He'll be saying that somehow Biden turned them into poison or mind-control drugs. Trump's goal was to take credit for the roll-out. After that, his interest will be in casting doubt on it.

  284. Trump opposes all school, church, and business closures. He had social distance stickers removed from seats at indoor rallies. He breaks local laws limiting crowd sizes at rallies. He killed a CDC mask mandate for public transportation. He refuses to contact trace the White House. He's been unsuccessful at brokering a stimulus package. He suppresses CDC data. He contradicts his own medical scientists. He lied about the severity of the pandemic. He ridicules people for wearing masks. ARE THERE ANY MEASURES HE ACTUALLY FAVORS?? But he limited flights from China, so I guess he's "crushing the China virus," right? What exactly is he doing to claim credit for ending this pandemic?

  292. Trump supporters, if you wonder why we liberals have such a distaste for Donald Trump, well, I can't speak for all liberals, but I'd bet many of us feel this way: In the words of a REPUBLICAN Senator from a state I love and spent many of my formative years, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker - "He doesn't understand the content and character of this country". I'm also a native New Yorker. So is Trump. I might remind you, he lost his home state in 2016. Another quote by a New Jersey native, Bill Maher - "He ran out of suckers in New York". I doubt Donald Trump knows why he wanted to be POTUS. He is blinded by his own narcissism, (and I suspect, an inferiority complex stemming from daddy issues). He thinks he knows everything, as if pre-ordained with wisdom - the way we think when we're 17. At 17, we think we know everything. But he never learned that isn't true. Now, he is 71, and good luck getting an old fart to change. He doesn't understand the JOB DESCRIPTION. He is a simple minded, stubborn relic of the past. As Bill Maher also said, "He's a 50s guy". His glory days were during Vietnam when his "personal Vietnam was trying not to get VD". I actually don't blame him for draft-dodging that war, but it was while another future prominent Republican didn't, and was being tortured. Now, the utter, cocky disrespect of saying, "I like guys who didn't get captured". Bill Clinton dodged the draft, but can you imagine Clinton saying that? Trump stands for nothing, and that, to me, is okay. But he doesn't know that America stands for something - or at least we're trying like hell to stand for what we say we do. That's why other countries we invade and fuck over are so willing to forgive us. He's not just selling out our treasury, but worse, our principles, because he's virtually an immature child who doesn't know any better. Obama and many others are right when they say Trump is "transactional". You see it in his "art of the deal". So, is it such a stretch to think he might be selling us out to Putin - another aging narcissist, (see 60 something year-old shirtless on a horse), who wants to restore his own country to its glory days? Such a stretch to think Trump is all in it for himself? By the way, I'd also bet he lost the war against VD. Trashing the judiciary, the FBI (with rabid personal vendettas), the CIA, football players exercising their 1st Amendment rights, immigrants (yes, he knows he's blurring the lines between legal and illegal), the free press.., I can go on... is short-sighted and unacceptable. Being POTUS, like no other job, means giving yourself up to a group of 320 million people. That's why presidents, once elected, try to govern from the center. Narcissists are not qualified. Simple minded people who see things as black and white, left and right, like a war, will divide, and then people like Putin come in and conquer. Let the Congress be partisan. POTUS is a unique position Trump does not understand. Plus, he's a fucking habitual liar. You can't trust him one bit. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

But if you believe all Dems who protest racist police brutality are lawless and wrong, you're saying that to be on the "right" side, you can't protest against racist police brutality. Gee, I wonder why all of the race-based hate groups are on the right.

  297. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  298. If a news outlet straight reports, "A man plead guilty to murdering two children today," is that opinion? No. But you can safely assume that most people would conclude that the man who pleas guilty is a bad person. This is what you hyper-media critics do not understand. When CNN reported the FACT that "Don Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jarred Kushner met with surrogates of the Russian government," that was a FACT. No opinion. People are going to see a presidential campaign's top people meeting with Russian government surrogates to trade dirt on their opponent for favors as a negative thing, right? Ever consider that "MSM's coverage of Trump is 98% negative" was because most of what he DID AND SAID WERE NEGATIVE? There is FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. There are so many people out there who don't even know how to watch the news! Those who cry "CNN is biased" are the ones who engage in the most confirmation bias. Hopeless hypocrites and idiots.

  305. I used to think that they supported him because the modern world sees everything on a screen. We're armchair warriors who have the luxury of making problems as close to or far away as we want, and turn our TVs and devices on or off at will. I thought, "When the consequences hit home and become real, his following will wake up." But what hits home more than a global pandemic coinciding with protests and unrest in every major city? Naw, there's something else going on here. It's a cult, and Trump has used culture war and blaming "the others" as the glue that holds it together. I suspect he learned how to do that from Putin, who learned it from the KGB, the masters of disinformation.

  319. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  321. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  322. So, EVERYONE who disagrees with, or is critical of the Trump Administration is a RINO or a deep state operative, huh?

  326. Republicans rage against anything the government is involved in as "socialism", as if the most hyper-capitalist nation on Earth is suddenly going to become red China or Cuba. It's not one or the other. We need BALANCE. Some things we definitely should not want the government to control. But there are some things that are social and communal interests that the private sector capitalists shouldn't be allowed to corrupt and screw-up, either. People think too much in terms of black and white, all or nothing. Republicans are the worst about that. Everything is about opposition to them.

  327. lex samuel - There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, charity fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

  329. Just as the experts predicted. We didn't do it right in the spring. Now, it's back with a vengeance in winter. Everybody screwed this up - The White House, the politicians, the media, and the individual citizens who would rather rage against "government tyranny" instead of just making some small, temporary sacrifices.
    16
  330. Republicans want us to accept the acquittal vote, but most of them wouldn't accept the vote that decided that the trial was constitutional and wouldn't accept the official election results. Remember when Bush got into trouble for saying "Bring 'em on" in reference to terrorists? He was just exercising free speech, right? Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for lying about his sex life, then defended Trump as he habitually lied for four years. I'd love to see Biden lie 12,000 times and say, "What's the problem? It's still only half as much as Trump." I'd love to see Biden openly meet with Chinese intelligence in 2024 to discuss hacking dirt on his opponent and say, "Trump literally said this is okay, and you Republicans backed him up." I'd love to hear Biden tell DHS staff to break the law, that he'll pardon them if they're caught, and then say he was only joking. Take anything for which Dems criticized Trump, and imagine if Biden does the exact same thing.

  331. Try to understand this, Trump followers: Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. This is NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY! Do you think John Bolton is lying? Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

The Republican Congressmen are all sleazy. Two were just indicted - One has the nerve to blame his wife. The whole White House is a swamp. Even FOX News is criticizing Trump. This is the beginning of the end of the Republican party.

He offered polling data to a known Russian intelligence officer. 21 states' voter rolls were hacked. Manafort had been a lobbyist for Putin.

At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks.

Both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'NT" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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.

  343. Trump's second 2 years won't be like the first. Dems are getting wiser to his methods, and he won't change. He recycles his old talking points. He even repeats the same New Year tweets. He lies more and more. Republican lawmakers may back him publicly, but they curse him in private, and many want their shot at challenging him in a primary for the sake of the party keeping power. The economy won't stay the same, whether it has anything to do with him or not. Our foreign enemies will pull some crap, knowing the window is closing for them to take advantage of his gullability. Enough will be enough for more and more people as he continues to be crude, offensive, and racist. His base may agree with him, but they'll still be wishing he'll just keep his mouth shut and stop giving liberals ammo. Exhaustion sets in. I don't care if you love The Apprentice, could you watch it every day for 4 years? 17 probes will be making news every other day. His base might just want to see those tax returns after all. He can't say every year is under eternal audit forever. And then, there's the Russia probe.

  354. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  362. This is nothing but incoherent rambling and lies. - They did not charge Flynn with violating the Logan Act. - The Mueller Investigation was less than two years, not three. - Mueller did not announce there was no collusion. - There is no proof that Obama spied on the Trump Campaign. - His tax cuts were not the biggest in history. They did create the largest budget deficit in history. How can anyone with half a brain hear this as anything other than an old coot nonsensically rambling?
    16
  363. Why would it matter that rioters want what you want? You shouldn't want their support. Who cares if "Q" likes you? You shouldn't like them. Why does it matter if the Russians want to help you win an election? You shouldn't want or need their help to win. "The Saudis buy my properties. I'm supposed to hate them?" Does that mean you should let them kill journalists? "I don't know anything about David Duke." He's a notorious racial hate group leader. What else do you need to know? (Trump had previously condemned Duke years before that statement, so he lied about knowing who he was. He was actually on the right side of something, but then switched to the wrong side!)

  367. Remember, Trump said it was perfectly okay to solicit election help from foreign governments, although I'm sure he wouldn't think it was okay if his opponents did it.
    16
  368. So, it's Biden vs. Trump The man who's made a few racially insensitive gaffes or the hero to the KKK? The 76 year old who has occasional "senior moments," or the 74 year old who can't keep his attention on a single printed page, repeats himself constantly, and can't speak without going on tangents? The man who is accused without proof of a few instances of corruption by the opposition, or the guy who is credibly accused of many felonies, was impeached, lies compulsively, hides records, and uses his power to fire/remove everyone who tries to investigate him?
    15
  369. What ever happened to Trump saying he meant to say "I meant to say I don't see why it WOULDN'T" have been Russia who interfered in 2016? That was an obvious, bald-faced lie, but you'd think that would be his official position after that. Nope. Yesterday, Trump said he didn't believe US INTELLIGENCE, (as well as common sense), that said they were. McConnell is blocking election security bills. President "It's rigged AGAINST me" Trump is going to do all he can to cheat in the next election, and making a loyalist the next DNI is part of that plan.

  371. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.
    15
  372. ANOTHER political "hit job"? You'd think if that "deep state" was so powerful, then Democrats would control the White House, Senate, and have a liberal majority on the Supreme Court. Maybe that's their evil plan - to let Republicans be in charge so they can spend all of their time losing executive and legislative battles to the majority.
    15
  373. I don't think it would be considered "going low" when they go low, for Democratic politicians to start calling Trump "Lyin' Don". It's using irony to make a point. At the top of every news program, the media should have a segment that takes 3 minutes or so to list and debunk every falsehood Trump had uttered in the past 24 hours. The frog is boiling. It should be absolutely unacceptable that the President is an habitual liar.
    15
  374. It is time to legalize marijuana on the federal level. Bernie Sanders said he would have done it by executive order. Joe Biden should pledge to do the same. - It would be lots of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. Money going into the treasury instead of going into the Mexican black market. - We import tons of crappy weed from Mexico, where they spray it with pesticides banned in the US due to their toxicity. We could export some of the best buds in the world. - It would free up space in the prisons and jails, and free up resources in the police department. - Growers and retailers could put their money in the bank. - Work absenteeism costs billions a year. Marijuana is a great, natural sleep aid. When weed is accessible, drinkers drink less. They toke up and fall asleep instead of continuing to drink, staying up, and waking up hungover and sleep deprived. - Marijuana treats a variety of ailments such as cancer, migraines, and chronic stress. - The food industry, hard hit by COVID 19, would boom. - Weed makes dumb sitcoms funny. - Marijuana is perfectly legal in North Korea. Do we want to be less free and progressive than North Korea?

  380. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  390. If there was one thing I thought Trump might not screw up, it was the pandemic, just because he was supposedly a germaphobe. But the germaphobic leader of the free world couldn't even keep COVID out of his home and residence, from his family, and from himself. He had a serious case of it. Immediately after his hospitalization, he made a big show out of removing his mask on a balcony. The guy's a fv<kin' sociopath.

  396. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together.

  399. - There is no evidence supporting Trump's claims that GOP poll watchers were shut out of the process. - Officials have repeatedly debunked claims of dead people voting. In some cases, voters the campaign claimed were dead were not. In others, the voter's name was the same as or similar to a deceased individual. - While Georgia's recount process doesn't involve matching signatures, voters' signatures were verified twice before the ballots were included in the count in the first place. - It's untrue that there were more votes than people in several parts of Michigan. In fact, 878,102 people voted for president in Wayne County which has a population of over 1.7 million. In Detroit, 250,138 people voted and there were 670,031 people in the city as of 2019. - The DOJ found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. - Though they allege it publicly, Trump's lawyers are NOT claiming fraud in court. - A statement issued from a joint group of election officials, including federal employees working in the Trump administration and for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, declared, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." - Over the course of the four weeks following the election, Trump sent around 500 tweets, 171 of which were flagged by Twitter for containing false or misleading information about the election.

  400. Ronald Miller There's a huge difference. At BLM riots, violence by a small percentage broke out at 7% of demonstrations against a real, continuing problem. Most rioters were opportunists there to steal and cause chaos. Most couldn't care less about partisan politics, or even knew much about it. It wasn't exclusively Dems. It's a cause championed more by liberals because most Black people vote Democrat, as Republicans largely ignore them. At the Capitol, violence was the goal of a much larger percentage. They were protesting over a lie spread by many, many Republicans and the POTUS himself. They weren't opportunists from DC there to loot and take advantage of the chaos. They stormed the building immediately. It was a purely political coup attempt with a level of coordination far surpassing that of the street rioters in those cities.
    15
  401. Trump won't fire anyone now because too many people have left in scandal and protest, and now he thinks it looks too bad. Trump is only concerned with his own image. Doesn't matter what any of his staff or cabinet actually do wrong.

  404. Surt Andvettsson - Oh, well I guess a strong economy and two years without an invasion makes a president great, huh? SMH. Actually, Trump is a huge part of the war in Yemen, and he wants to invade Venezuela. Trump told voters he'd eliminate the national debt in 8 years. When his advisors warned him that the debt was projected to rise sharply over the next 8 years, he said he didn't care because, "I'll be gone then". Obama raised the debt to record levels, (to get us out of a recession), but Trump is raising the debt at an EVEN HIGHER RATE than Obama. The budget deficit went up to $1.5 trillion due to the Trump tax cuts. Deficits become debt.

  414. 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?

Name a subject, and I promise you I can tell you many things he has lied about it. He is an habitual liar. Are you really that clueless.
    14
  422. All of the Republican Senators who will vote to acquit Trump are idiots. If there is one more MAGA extremist riot, those on record still supporting that nonsense will lose their re-election bids. Trump won't be there to abuse his power to cover things up and spin it as a Democrat/media "hoax." Over the next few years, the news will be peppered with reports of Trump and his cronies' legal troubles. Enjoy the brief remainder of your political careers, morons.

  423. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  424. M Igorpan20 - No news organization is the sole gatekeeper of information. There's right wing media, and they didn't report it.

  438. J C - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  439. ILLEGITIMATE DEMENTED Joe - Your screen name says at least three things about you. You're immature. You're too tribally biased to comprehend an issue. There's a good possibility that you're a paid troll... or just an unpaid troll, which is worse. At least the paid Russian trolls think they're doing a service for their country.

  442. Make two lists - 1)- Ways to improve election security, and 2)- Ways to suppress votes. Then compare them to what Republicans are doing. It is crystal clear what they're doing. It's a vicious cycle. The less popular support Republicans have, the more they'll try to suppress votes. There's ALWAYS an election around the corner, so they never want to risk losing by trying "radical" ideas like actually reaching out to voters when they can use the tried-and-true method of suppressing liberal votes - which means specifically targeting minorities because they tend to live in urban areas, which tend to vote Democrat.

  445. Gooey 911 - The years long fishing expedition that's planned to be complete during the peak of election season? Yeah, that's what you Trump trolls were saying about the IG report, the one that concluded the Russia probe was legal, and the one you people just lie about now.
    14
  446. Republicans point to mental health when it comes to gun control and COVID, but then they do nothing about mental health. It's the party of inaction. Gun control - "It's mental health," and then they propose nothing to address mental health. COVID - "Treat it like the common flu. People are going crazy in their homes." They demand re-opening, but ALSO oppose simple mask mandates to make it safer to open. 49% of Republican men won't even get vaccinated. Their "solution" is to ignore it. Climate change - Every single Republican candidate in 2016 said "I believe climate change is real, but the economy will suffer," and propose nothing to solve the problem. Health Care - For 13 years, they've opposed reform. They spent the entire Trump Administration promising their own health care plan, but never unveiled it. Trump lied for years, saying "It's two weeks away." Where's that infrastructure plan that Trump promised? He didn't even build the wall that he promised Mexico would fund. They concentrate on Mr. Potato head, the barely existent paper tiger of ANTIFA, a non-existent communist threat, a non-existent "leftist" deep state, and non-existent voter fraud as a ruse to suppress liberal votes. All the while, they make nonsensical claims about elitism and globalism being partisan issues.

  449. renee watkins - It has a 97.4% survival rate. We now have COVID in addition to the flu, for which we have a vaccine. It is over 5 times as contagious as influenza. If COVID spikes over the coming months like the data show is likely without mitigation, Hospitals WILL become overwhelmed. Those comparisons to the flu are ridiculous. The suggestion seems to be to just treat it like the flu, meaning don't worry or change your behavior unless someone at home or at the office caught it, and if you get the flu, oh well. COVID isn't like that. It has to be dealt with. The sooner we deal with it, we can get back on with our lives.

  451. BLM is protesting a REAL injustice. They feel they have no other recourse because the police departments and the courts have been failing them REPEATEDLY. Neither BLM nor any politicians called upon them to riot, and despite the talking points, those who crossed the line from protest to riot were pursued by law enforcement. 93% of the protests have been peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% did not riot. And the idea that they're all Democrats or even the type of people who know anything about politics is absurd. Does anyone think those thugs were looting merchandise, then meeting up later at Starbucks to discuss the topics on Meet the Press? The Trump mob was decidedly partisan, and acted on a LIE. Besides many recounts, audits and investigations, the courts ruled on the matter. When the mob attacked, they interrupted senators doing exactly what they wanted - objecting to the certification! Pence literally could not unilaterally stop certification. For Trump to say that he could was an outright LIE, and he did call upon them to riot. The MAGA crowd refuses to see the difference because they simply refuse to accept the truth. I post often on these comment boards, and NOT ONE person has been able to tell me just how this supposed fraud was carried out. Not one. If they'd simply learn how voting machines work and how elections are tallied, they would see how irrational and ridiculous their conspiracy theories are. For those who actually want to know, here it is, in great detail: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwld6Ly5TVs

  452. Robert Kibbey - Heartbeat and brain activity are arbitrary metrics. Life is a circle, not a straight line. There is no point you can definitively say "this is life" or "this is not." If there had to be, wouldn't it make more sense to draw the line where a fetus can actually survive outside of the womb? There are too many variables, and another life at stake - that of the would-be mother. That's why it's a CHOICE.

  453.  Go Surf  - "Death jabs"? So, when does the "death" start? So far, people have been taking the vaccine for over a year counting clinical trials. Why don't you try LEARNING something about it before spewing crap. Those mRNA vaccines have been tested for DECADES. They only required the gene sequence of this particular SARS virus. That's how they developed it so fast - It was already pretty much developed.
    13
  454. And these die-hard Trumpers think he'll be re-elected. LOL.
    13
  455. 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.
    13
  456. What do gun control, health care, and COVID 19 have in common? They're all problems that the rest of the world has gotten a grip on, and the US refuses to learn from.

  458. Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility once out of office. 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.

  460. It should worry everyone that the president who had no prior government experience has three top advisors - his daughter, her husband, and that Nazi, Steven Miller - who are all just under 40, and had no prior experience. That's who's running the executive branch.
    13

  462. There was the MAGA bomber, the Coast Guard nationalist, the guy threatening a newspaper, calling them "enemy of the people", who was stockpiling weapons. The Charlottsville attacker was a right-winger. So was the "pizzagate" shooter. The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wing fringe groups. Hate crimes done in the name of right wing causes are sharply on the rise since Trump took office. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. I'm not saying both sides don't have fringe elements. But it is RIDICULOUS for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.

  467. All of the Republican Senators who will vote to acquit Trump are idiots. If there is one more MAGA extremist riot, those on record still supporting that nonsense will lose their re-election bids. Trump won't be there to abuse his power to cover things up and spin it as a Democrat/media "hoax." Over the next few years, the news will be peppered with reports of Trump and his cronies' legal troubles. Enjoy the brief remainder of your political careers, morons.

  468. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. TRUMP WAS THE LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!
    13
  469. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.
    13
  470. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.
    13
  471. Trump's presidency will not end well. I'd say there is about a 55% chance he'll be forced to resign, a 40% chance he'll be impeached, and a 5% chance he'll be removed via the 25th Amendment. (Steve Bannon gives him a much higher chance of that). If he's impeached, I'd say there's a 30% chance he'll beat it. I'm worried he'll suppress the impending Mueller Report by replacing Sessions and/or Rosenstein with a loyalist. But if he beats impeachment, Republicans will almost certainly put up a primary challenger. If, somehow, he actually gets a second term, he'll have a snowball's chance in hell of finishing it out. By year 5, his approval rating will be below 25%, and he'll drown in scandal.
    13
  472. 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.
    13
  473. Michael Zomsuv - It is the government's job to solve social problems. Why else would it exist? ALL governments are inherently socialist. We share the roads and the post office. We don't share our personal property. It kills me when conservatives complain about "tax and spend liberals". That's the government's sole function - to tax and spend! Capitalism is about the individual. Socialism is about the collective. We need to balance the two, and there is nobody serious about becoming entirely either one or the other. I'm a liberal, but I don't want the government in charge of everything. I just want bang for my tax buck. I want efficiency. Some things are better left to the private sector, and some to the government. Either extreme is bad. Anyone who thinks this hyper-capitalist country is about to turn into Venezuela or the USSR is delusional, making absurd semantic arguments about what "socialism" means, and doesn't realize WHY regimes like in Cuba and the USSR failed. It wasn't because of the socialism. Socialist movements always start as noble attempts to give power back to the people. The problem is the ideology. Those who lead those revolutions are usually better suited for war than governing, but they fail to give the power to those who know how to govern. The same thing happens with hyper-capitalism. Do the rich ever give back? Does trickle-down economics ever work? You shouldn't think in terms of "isms" and past models in other countries. Think in terms of balancing the individuals' rights and the needs of the collective in America in 2021. Then, maybe we can start something called "Americanism".

  474. Bullshitting her about financial stuff is like poking a grizzly bear with a short stick.
    13
  475. Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

  483. The News In ASL ... Constant calls to investigate and jail his rivals, calling for violence at his rallies, firing anyone who crossed him even once, even for simply doing their jobs when it had nothing to do with him, praising Putin and Kim Jong Un for authoritarian practices, repeating Russian propaganda, telling the military brass they should shoot civil rights protesters...
    13
  484. TheTruth - It's higher than that, and would be even higher if we opened everything back up.
    13
  485. Donald Trump lied when he said he was unaware of those hush money payments. That has been proven. He became an unindicted co-conspirator in a case involving bank fraud that sent his personal lawyer to prison. Trump lied when he said he had no dealings with Russia during his campaign. He was trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that required approval from Putin himself. Trump was SEEKING FAVOR FROM RUSSIA WHILE RUSSIA WAS ATTACKING A US ELECTION IN HIS FAVOR. The Russians knew he was lying to us, and could use that to BLACKMAIL him. Does anyone really believe Trump was unaware that his son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman were meeting with Russian government surrogates for the purpose of obtaining stolen material on their opponent? Trump continues to lie by saying the Mueller Report concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction. These are only 4 of the 11,000 lies Trump has told in the last 2 1/2 years. To give this some perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Bill Clinton was IMPEACHED over a lie about his personal life, and if you say, "Clinton lied under oath", I'll point out that Trump refused to go under oath, and has blocked dozens of his staff from testifying, citing statutes that literally do not exist. What should that tell us?

  494. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."
    13
  495. You people crack me up by still saying they have found nothing. Seriously? 3 different people have ADMITTED to colluding with the Russian government. 9 Trump associates have lied about and/or omitted contacts. That is called EVIDENCE. Wake up.
    13
  496. YouWillbe Mocked - Hey moron, what law did she break? If you don't like legal nepotism, go lobby congress to change the laws, but you're a raging hypocrite if you support Trump. By the way, stacking the board of a Ukrainian oil company was exactly what Giuliani was doing with Lev and Igor while he was pushing for the announcement of probes into that bullshit conspiracy theory about 2016 and the Bidens. Damn, you people are fucking idiots.
    13
  497. Factual honesty and sincerity are two different things. What is Trump's position on Russian interference? His position on climate change? On punishing the Saudis? Believing sexual assault victims? Border control measures? His attitude toward minorities? He can say he takes a certain position, and his devoted followers will argue the technicalities and try to create reasonable doubt. But in terms of sincerity, reasonable people know exactly what position he is taking and what actions he will or won't take.
    13
  498. Sakis 33 - You're blaming Obama for Crimea? Does that somehow absolve Trump? Do you people have no common sense? This is what Trump has done for Russia: - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  500. Trump fired the head of the federal agency that said this was the most secure US election ever, specifically because he didn't tell him what he wanted to hear. Trump fired him by tweet, without even talking to him. There has been NO evidence of fraud ANYWHERE. A normal President would be GLAD that his agency found the election to be secure, and THANK them for their work. Imagine if Obama had lost in 2012 and done this. Trump supporters would be enraged, and THEY KNOW IT. This has gone beyond ridiculous. This is a direct assault on democracy. Are we supposed to go through this just so Trump can throw a temper tantrum?? It's OVER. Biden WON. Period.
    13
  501. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.
    13
  502. He was never a successful businessman. He played one on TV, which ironically was his best business decision.

  503. And there is net negative immigration from Mexico and South America. More are leaving than coming in. If Trump was so concerned with national security, he would be tougher on Russia, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia. He wouldn't be reading intelligence documents by cell phone light at Mar-a-Lago. It's all about Trump's ego, and probably a no-bid contract he has ready to give to a firm he expects a kick-back from.

  504. Trump isn't choosing these cities based on facts on the ground. He's choosing them based on whether or not the mayor is a Democrat. Has he ASKED any of these city officials what they need? Has he IDENTIFIED what, specifically, they are doing wrong in "Democrat cities" that they are doing right in "Republican cities"? He won't even acknowledge the protesters have a just cause. He calls BLM a "hate symbol." 99.9% of the protesters are NOT vandalizing. He already has masses of fools neglecting to wear masks as a political statement. Are they going to let him equate racial justice with communism and violence?

  505. Good point. Now he has them signing waivers over a problem he insists doesn't exist.

  506. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  507. This has been under-reported: Trump tweeted a few weeks ago about not knowing that Mke Flynn had lied to Mike Pence AND THE FBI. Those 3 little words could be big trouble for him in an obstruction probe. Afterward, Trump's lawyer, John Dowd, claimed that he, himself, had actually written the tweet - AND IT WAS THE ONE AND ONLY TIME! Does anyone really believe that? Not to mention, if Dowd, A LAWYER, had written it, wouldn't A LAWYER be the last person to ever make that mistake? You are going to hear more about this later on.

  508. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  512. Trump should be careful what he wishes for. He just might get it. If he declares a national emergency, he is locked into delivering real results. The devil is in the details with this wall/fence/slat thing. There will be issues with eminent domain, environmental concerns, lost commerce...In a state of "emergency", Dems will hold his feet to the fire. The media will put him under the microscope. Who gets the contracts? Is the money being well-spent? Is it fast enough for an emergency? Good enough to be effective? And it isn't like it can be done quickly, quietly, and behind closed doors. Will they hire illegals to build this barrier..? All of these questions as developments from 17 investigations start dropping every other day.

  522. Steve Walker - Trump is a bigot. He told four US Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country for DOING THEIR JOBS. He made that "shithole" comment. He said he wants Jews, not blacks, to count his money. He called Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he is a racist. Racially based hate groups insist he supports them, and he refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racist advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims from the country. He is the president, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive, he REPEATS THEM. Why go there? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. He shouldn't have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader? This isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's. It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses?

  525. CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  526. The Mueller report shows a clear pattern of obstruction and conduct unbecoming of a President. It is a roadmap for impeachment. But here's the problem - Dems would rather beat Trump at the ballot box than impeach. I say, screw that. The election is too far off. The country is ALREADY divided, and this should be about the law. Dems want to run against a wounded Trump, but if he is too wounded, the Republicans will primary, and get rid of him themselves. Then, Dems will have fallen for the old bait and switch. They won't be up against the devil they know. Another Republican might win in 2020 because enough swing voters will think anyone is better than Trump against a Dem candidate that will have become the victim of a long smear campaign. It's too damn early for Dems to be worried too much about winning the next election!

He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up.

  530. Donald Trump sounds like an 18-year-old with a bad attitude. "Aw, Mom, I got fired because they're a bunch of haters there. They all lied about me. I failed that test because the teacher was out to get me. I got that ticket because that cop was a crook. People just can't handle it that I keep it real..." How long can Trump supporters hear that shit before they wake up? "Everyone is lying but me," as he tells his 12,000th lie. "They're all just full of hate," after he uses hateful rhetoric once again. "I'm a counter-puncher," as he throws the first punch once again. "The polls are all fake," after two dozen polling organizations come up with the same numbers.

  532. - Imagine Joe Biden's lawyer telling an angry mob to march to the Capitol and have a trial by combat. - Imagine Barack Obama siding with Putin over the CIA in front of the world, then trying to say he actually meant the opposite. - Imagine Chelsae Clinton, her husband, and John Podesta being caught meeting with Chinese intelligence officers in 2016 to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. - Imagine Barack Obama lying about a pandemic that had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. - Imagine what happened in 2000 happened in 2020. Trump wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral college by 500 votes in one state where Biden's brother is the governor. Now imagine, in that scenario, that the Republicans control the House and Senate. - Imagine, as it was in 1998, that the Special Council investigating Trump was a member of the opposing party. - Imagine Hillary Clinton on an audio recording telling someone she can grab men by the junk because she's a star. - Imagine Joe Biden destroying interpreter notes from a meeting with the Chinese President and instructing the attendees not to talk about it with White House staff. - Imagine Barack Obama's personal lawyer, two campaign managers, campaign "dirty trickster", National Security Advisor, campaign Security Advisor, and inauguration manager being convicted of felonies. Imagine he also set a record for cabinet members and staff leaving in scandal. - Imagine Obama's charity being shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality." I could go on and on for hours with things like this right off the top of my head. The MAGA crowd KNOWS how they would feel if any of the above had happened.
    12
  533. We need a Special Council for the Capitol riot. They're appointed when objectivity is especially needed in a politically charged situation. I think that applies here, as Republicans continue to minimize and defend the former POS POTUS who inspired it, was gleeful when it happened, and refused to denounce the attackers. Just like with Russia, they can insist Trump wasn't culpable, but an investigation had to happen whether it would lead back to him or not. It would be bizarre to watch a former US President rage against a probe into an attack on one of our highest-value potential terrorist targets, worried (for good reason?) that it will lead to him.

Not a smart thing to say, but it's a hell of a far cry from telling millions that the election was stolen and that their freedom is in jeopardy until they storm the US Capitol. It's "whataboutism", which is never really valid because two wrongs don't make a right. In this case, it's like comparing Mt. Everest to a mole hill... Actually it's more like comparing apples to oranges, because Waters didn't encourage violence, and even the harassment she suggested didn't happen.

  548. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  558. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  559. Debra Smith - Since before then. I've been thinking the opposite - Why do these Trump supporters seem immune to comedy? They've been railing against "liberal" Hollywood and getting pissed at comedians. Funny is funny, and it isn't partisan. Bill Maher, John Oliver, Seth Meyers..If the comedians can't get through to them, it truly is a cult. I'd list some Conservative comedians, but there are none. Those people have no sense of humor. They laugh at Trump's sick "jokes" that I can't even tell ARE jokes. It's usually after the fact. "Trump called on 'Second Amendment people'. That was a joke!" Not very funny. "Russia, if you're listening" was a "joke"? Huh? Comedy is funny because it's true. Trump ain't funny because he ain't true.

  561. Trump is a bigot. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama.He said every black leader of a country runs a shithole. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

Instead of trying to contribute to the majority's work on policy issues, they reflexively sabotage the work of the Dems, even when it means opposing ideas that are popular with people across the board. The RNC didn't even bother to create a policy platform this last time around. The last CPAC was about nothing but galvanizing loyalty to Donald Trump and calling doctors fascists. We're left with an expensive, ineffective government. Then, the GOP says, "See, big government doesn't work." Yeah, because they're breaking it. Government failure actually HELPS THEM get elected. The GOP is the only entity in America that makes it their stated goal to destroy their own institution. Imagine interviewing for a job and saying, "I plan to work hard, get promoted, and eventually destroy this company from the inside."

  569. For what? You and 29 other people who "liked" this are fucking idiots. Care to explain your statement? You can't. It is obvious from your statement that you have no clue whatsoever how things work or what you are talking about.

  570. 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!

  571. Adam DeFord - "Alpha male"? LOL. He's an overgrown child. "Strongman"? Hell no, we shouldn't be ruled by a strongman. Trump is definitely a wannabe strongman. Do you know what that term means?

  575. - Any voter fraud scheme involving illegals would require making millions of fake IDs, and not one was uncovered. - Hispanics vote Republican at a rate about the same as whites. - Why the hell would Dems go through all of that in California to win a state they were sure to win already in an election they were almost sure to win anyway? Think, people. - Trump's voter fraud commission found NOTHING. - Illegals aren't exactly dying to risk deportation and jail just to vote. Again, think, people. - You are nuts if you think most people even think about taking advantage of the names of the recently deceased for one extra vote in an electoral college system. Think of what would be involved in that.

    12
  580. - 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. - Where there is a drug and child slave, and cheap labor SUPPLY, there is a DEMAND that we need to deal with. - 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? - Why shouldn't Trump 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. - We need comprehensive immigration reform. A path to citizenship, clear asylum policies, sensible border security measures, drug policy, including demand side solutions, legalized marijuana, and trade deals that INCLUDE security measures.

  583. Like "The Mooch". Zombie Trumpers.
    11
  584. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

    11
  591. All of the Republican Senators who voted to acquit Trump are idiots. If there's one more MAGA riot, those now on record defending that nonsense will lose their re-election bids. Trump won't be there to abuse his power to cover things up and spin it as a Democrat/media "hoax." Over the next few years, the news will be peppered with reports of Trump and his cronies' legal troubles. Enjoy the brief remainder of your political careers, morons.
    11
  592. Roger Stone was in touch with the hackers AND the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government in New York to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. This is NOT disputed. THESE ARE FACTS. Therefore, the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government. Period. If Trump had a D instead of an R by his name, Republicans would be outraged, AND THEY KNOW IT.

  599. Trump says border facilities are much better than they were under Obama. False. Under Obama, there were far fewer juvenile detainees. Now, they are 10 TIMES over capacity. Under Obama, they were there for less time, and had soap, toothpaste, and beds. Trump told reporters that "A lot of those children come from places you don't even want to know about", referring to bad conditions in their home countries. No, Mr. Trump, YOU don't want to know about it. He has been saying quite the opposite. Trump has set up for-profit facilities that charge $700 A DAY PER DETAINEE. You can stay at the Motel 6 for $60 a day, and you get all the soap and towels you need, a clean bed, and a shower, plus obviously much more. He wants Democrats to give him more money? To sign a Republican bill? So he can then blame Democrats for the conditions like he blames Obama?? "Hey, Dems voted for it". Trump is an appalling, lying piece of shit.

CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, multiple ballot audits, recounts in every battleground state, an extremely detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly attempted to commit fraud himself...and the MAGA crowd still thinks he was cheated??
    11
  603. This country has become like that 2005 documentary, "Idiocracy", predicted it would.

  605. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  608. There is nothing she could have said to make him vote to confirm her. You're spot-on saying that he made her look better. He threw that CRT and chomo crap on her and she handled it superbly, so nothing was going to pass his little test, and we can all see that.

  612. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who hasn't condemned Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump is promoting the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  614. - Heartbeat and brain activity are arbitrary metrics. Life is a circle, not a straight line. There is no point you can definitively say "this is life" or "this is not." If there had to be, wouldn't it make more sense to draw the line where a fetus can actually survive outside of the womb? There are too many variables, and another life at stake - that of the would-be mother. That's why it's a CHOICE.
    11
  615. Carlos Dominguez - Every other president's sincerity isn't in question because the speeches contradict their rhetoric. Other presidents prepare a lot more than him to maybe avoid calling people and cities by the wrong name on a regular basis. It was obvious the first time he spoke about this by his helicoptor, he had't given a minutes thought to what he'd say, and spouted the same crap about how he's done "more than any other administration".
    11
  616. Pence won't invoke the 25th, even after Trump sent a mob after him for refusing to do the impossible. Pence is a wimp and a joke. Congress should impeach, but let's face it. A trial after he is gone will only turn into a political circus, with people angry that they're spending money and wasting time at the peak of the pandemic. They should impeach symbolically, and drop it. WHY HASN'T CONGRESS CENSURED TRUMP YET?
    11
  617. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.
    11
  618. Uh, the KKK overwhelming votes Republican, and spare that crap about how they were Democrats when they formed, like, a million years ago. The two parties have pretty much swapped issues since then.

  620. T Boned - Nobody's business?? Are you nuts? Yeah, the president directing his lawyer to commit bank fraud and break FEC laws isn't any concern of the people.

  621. 1)- Only 51 votes were needed to avoid a shutdown without any new spending. 2)- 5 Dems crossed over, and 4 Republicans crossed over - That destroys the argument that it was all the Dems fault. 3)- Trump rescinded DACA on his own, and said the reason was only because it was by executive order and not legislated through Congress. He could have asked Congress to pass it as it was, problem solved. He CLEARLY took DACA hostage to use it as leverage. 4)- Trump could have ended DACA, but grandfathered-in those who were ALREADY in the program, and let them stay. (Mr. "Art of the Deal" doesn't know rule #1 of deal making - DON'T BREAK A DEAL!) There would have been very little Democratic resistance to that. 5)- "They have until March 5th. No hurry". Really? If you were suddenly told you today that you have six weeks to move or be evicted, would you think, "No sweat"? How about if that meant, not only having to find a new place, but to find one IN A STRANGE COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN? You're in college. You don't speak the language, know nothing about the culture, the city, etc., and you have to get a truck, find a home, maybe find a storage unit in Guatemala! 6)- McConnell himself said he couldn't even figure out what Trump wants. 7)- A deal was all but done before Trump made the most racist, insulting statement any president has made since the Civil Rights Movement. "How is putting America first racist"? Give me a break! I'd say it's politics 101 that you don't say things like that, but it wouldn't even have to be put in the fucking 101 textbook. - And Trump contradicted himself saying it was because he wanted "merit based" immigration. It is CLEARLY based on nationality to say "take them (Haitians) out", and to say you don't want to even look at the merits of Haitians and Africans! Duh. 8)- Trump said he would sign whatever the people in that meeting came up with, then flip-flopped and demanded funding for a wall he still says he wants Mexico to pay for and won't even say how Mexico will reasonably reimburse us. Holy shit, go try to get a loan from a bank talking like that, and see where it gets you! "How will I pay back this huge loan? Well, this dude, Frank owes me a bunch of money. He says he doesn't, and he really doesn't, but I have ways to nickel and dime it out of him to make my payments to you".!?!?

  622. Don - "Officer, my money was stolen." Cop - "Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think that?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  625. When everything you do is negative, you will be talked about negatively. I know, Trump followers, it's hard to believe any president could be that awful - but he is that awful. How long are you suckers going to stay in denial?
    11
  626. 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.
    11
  627. FOX News is the propaganda wing of the White House. Trump literally coordinates with FOX News to create a feedback loop. It's practically state run media, or media run state.
    11
  628. FJB tV - Did you read the post? It was CORROBORATED, and you can't deny it's right in line with Trump's character. You are in denial. The only answer you have is denial.

  630. Without unnamed sources, this country would be a dictatorship by now.
    11
  631. Trump takes seriously "what a lot of people are talking about." What "people are talking about" to him is largely what he reads on Twitter. He blocks those who disagree with him, and they talk about what he puts out there. That's a hell of a feedback loop! He can promote a conspiracy theory on Twitter. The Twitterverse talks about it. FOX News and Russian trolls talk about it. Then, it must have validity because "a lot of people are saying." It's ironic that the MAGA crowd goes on and on about brainwashing, bias, lying, and propaganda. It's projection on steroids.
    11
  632. griz063 - Enough of that crap. Nobody supports riots except rioters, who make up a fraction of one percent of the protesters. They were not stirred-up by the Democrats. They were stirred-up by COPS UNJUSTLY KILLING PEOPLE!
    11
  633. Remember, Trump said it was perfectly okay to solicit election help from foreign governments, although I'm sure he wouldn't think it was okay if his opponents did it.
    11
  634. Derek Pennington - Dude, He asked China to do this in front of everybody on the White House lawn! That "CNN lies" bs is so old and tired. You are defending an habitual liar with that line?? Trump has told 19000 lies since taking office, so obviously honesty isn't a concern for you.

  635.  @sheilamorgan3845  - The organization that bailed out demonstrators at BLM riots did not ask about their political leanings, and those demonstrations were NOT CONNECTED TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Just like hiw I'm not a Marxist. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  636. kanukster - What is this "CNN fanboy" shit? CNN is the McDonalds of news. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. It isn't great, but it does the job. I watch a lot more MSNBC and PBS, but you know what? They ALL report the SAME FACTS. I see you have nothing substantial to say on the matter.

  637. SPZ Aruba - What a dumb comment.
    11
  638. 1)- Only 51 votes were needed to avoid a shutdown without any new spending. 2)- 5 Dems crossed over, and 4 Republicans crossed over - That destroys the argument that it was all the Dems fault. 3)- Trump rescinded DACA on his own, and said the reason was only because it was by executive order and not legislated through Congress. He could have asked Congress to pass it as it was, problem solved. He CLEARLY took DACA hostage to use it as leverage. 4)- Trump could have ended DACA, but grandfathered-in those who were ALREADY in the program, and let them stay. (Mr. "Art of the Deal" doesn't know rule #1 of deal making - DON'T BREAK A DEAL!) There would have been very little Democratic resistance to that. 5)- "They have until March 5th. No hurry". Really? If you were suddenly told you today that you have six weeks to move or be evicted, would you think, "No sweat"? How about if that meant, not only having to find a new place, but to find one IN A STRANGE COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN? You're in college. You don't speak the language, know nothing about the culture, the city, etc., and you have to get a truck, find a home, maybe find a storage unit in Guatemala! 6)- McConnell himself said he couldn't even figure out what Trump wants. 7)- A deal was all but done before Trump made the most racist, insulting statement any president has made since the Civil Rights Movement. "How is putting America first racist"? Give me a break! I'd say it's politics 101 that you don't say things like that, but it wouldn't even have to be put in the fucking 101 textbook. - And Trump contradicted himself saying it was because he wanted "merit based" immigration. It is CLEARLY based on nationality to say "take them (Haitians) out", and to say you don't want to even look at the merits of Haitians and Africans! Duh. 8)- Trump said he would sign whatever the people in that meeting came up with, then flip-flopped and demanded funding for a wall he still says he wants Mexico to pay for and won't even say how Mexico will reasonably reimburse us. Holy shit, go try to get a loan from a bank talking like that, and see where it gets you! "How will I pay back this huge loan? Well, this dude, Frank owes me a bunch of money. He says he doesn't, and he really doesn't, but I have ways to nickel and dime it out of him to make my payments to you".!?!?

  639. In public, they're blaming the Democrats, but in private, they're blaming Trump and the freedom caucus. The GOP has some nerve to pass the buck.

  640. When the Russia thing first came into the public sphere, I didn't really believe it. I thought that maybe there was a wink and a nod general agreement between Trump and Putin that nobody could prove. Now, I'm absolutely convinced they are heavily in cahoots and Putin has been cultivating Trump for years to be a Manchurian Candidate.

  644. There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  645. Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks a few FBI agents or Antifa members could incite a riot on the spot, but that Trump, Giuliani, and Stone couldn't possibly incite one with months of inflammatory rhetoric. It was the FBI and Antifa, but they don't want an investigation. Makes sense.

  652. Will Mac - The Chinese ally we are still technically at war with? The country that has pictures on school walls of the US being nuked? The country that is lawlessly building nukes that can now reach our mainland? The country that sent one of our citizens back tortured to death? Are you nuts?

  654. FOX News is a mainstream media outlet. It's corporate media, and very biased. They coordinate with the White House. It's well-known that Trump is always in close contact with Sean Hannity and Ruoert Murdoch. FOX News has no competitors to keep them in check. They have a monopoly on "conservative", visual, non-print media, by which most people get their news. If I see fifteen people standing in a group, then stand to the right of them, does that make them "the left"? No. The center may be halfway between them and myself, but the center of gravity is a lot closer to the group. FOX News is not conservative. It's ALTERNATIVE media.

  655.  @factsoverfeelings9492  CNN is only one of the networks I watch. It's pretty much the McDonald's of news. It isn't "propaganda", but it wouldn't matter if it was, because I know the difference between opinion and fact. The facts are usually always correct. Where do you go to do "research"? By the way, typing into a Youtube search box to find opinions you agree with isn't research. It's confirmation bias.

  656. Jo Poveromo - That talking point is ridiculous. Big cities elect Dems because they're BETTER at running them. Cities inherently contain poor populations, which always comes with problems. Have you considered how cities evolve? They don't just turn on a dime when a new Mayor is elected. No city is entirely "run by Democrats." There's a Mayor, maybe Aldermen, a Governor, two Senators, one or more Congressmen (or women), city councils, state legislatures... all have a hand in deciding how a locality is run and how it is funded. Do you think the current state of a 100 or 200 year old city depends on who's currently in office?? If you want to be SPECIFIC about a problem in a specific city, by all means, address it. But that "Democrat cities" talking point is NONSENSE.

  659. Did I pre-judge Donald Trump? I didn't like him. I knew he was a liar, but when he was elected, I didn't think he would lie 20,000 times in under 4 years. I thought he exchanged winks and a nods with Putin, but not that he was flat-out colluding, complete with transactions, meetings and operatives. Now I know he did. I thought he was a narcissist, but not nearly this bad. I thought he was a little racist, but more of an elitist, and indifferent towards minorities. Now, he's shown he's a full-blown racist bigot, and it drives his policy-making. I thought he hid his tax returns because he didn't want us to know he wasn't as rich as he said. I thought maybe he cheated a little on his taxes. Now, I think he's a major criminal, and those returns are his kryptonite. I knew he cheated on his wives. I thought he was like a frat boy towards women. Now I strongly suspect he's a sexual deviant and a date rapist - statutory and otherwise. I knew he was cold-blooded and into revenge, but didn't think he was a sociopath. Now, I see he has a clinical lack of empathy and sympathy. He is a crazy degree of vengeful. I thought there were lines he wouldn't cross. Now, I think he would literally kill to stay in power. If he wouldn't in 2016, he would now. Look how he equates the US to Russia. His answer to, "Putin kills journalists" was "America has a lot of killers." He equated Putin to his own soldiers in Iraq. I thought he wasn't very smart, but my God, what an IDIOT! He went to college? He doesn't understand the most basic things we learned in the 8th grade! I thought he was a con MAN, but too dumb to be a con ARTIST. Now I know more about con artist strategy. I STILL think he's a dumb, two-bit con man, but I didn't think he was so stupid that he couldn't recognize when HE is being conned. He's being conned by foreign adversaries. He's being conned by CROOKS IN HIS OWN PARTY AND BY HIS OWN EMPLOYEES. In the end, WE are getting screwed.

  660. Trump is so stupid! To pay off two women a total of $280,000, he set up a shell LLC, and used his lawyer to commit bank, tax, and FEC fraud all at once. Shouldn't he have some liquid assets for things like that? Jewelry? Cash? At least THREE federal crimes to launder $280k? To stop a story that had ALREADY broken a decade before!

  662. There's so much that could be done to get rid of this damn virus within a month. We should stop trying to reopen everything ASAP. If we do, IT WILL KILL THE ECONONY ANYWAY. We have to think about this like a blizzard. Look at Canada. Look at the rest of the world. Why can't we just do what they did? - Close restaurants and bars, and send them financial aid. - Mass produce cheap masks and hand sanitizer, and hand them out at the door of every essential business. - How about "Quarantine Tuesday?" Pick one or two days a week when EVERYTHING is closed. - PSAs. Run commercials with a CONSISTENT message about the top 10 most important things to do, and educate people about what a virus actually is and how it spreads. - We can't have the President lying, working against these measures, holding mass rallies, and using a disease as a weapon in a culture war! - Cancel or postpone all sports, concerts and big events. It's not forever IT'S JUST FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SH1T HAPPENS. Quit acting like we're living in occupied Fallujah. By next year, there will be a vaccine.

  663. Lord Vader - There was no trial in the House. That was an inquiry to decide whether to have a trial, and the potential defense doesn't get to call witnesses in that phase, just like detectives and prosecutors don't have to consult potential defense witnesses during an investigation.

  664. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  665. Funny how Trump supporters keep chanting that mantra, "Biden is senile!" And the other one, "Liberals are BIASED against Trump! They just won't give him a chance!" Have they listened to themselves?? I mean, EVERYTHING is pure projection. "Dems are crooked!" but they refuse to see how demonstratively crooked Trump is. "Biden is racist!" Racist? Based on WHAT? Some vague gaffes? Okay, if you're going to say that, you can't dismiss the litany of racist and bigoted sounding things that fly out of Trump's mouth. It's ridiculous! And my favorite - "The media are biased and they lie!" Hello, McFly. Trump is OBVIOUSLY AN HABITUAL LIAR. He doesn't lie like all politicians lie. He lies CONSTANTLY. And Trump coordinates with FOX News, which is norhing but a hyper-biased network that does notjing but trash the rest of the media...for BIAS! Do Trump followers really not see this??

  666. BLMKILLED Kidsandcops - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  670. Gerardo Argueta - So, Trump's top people didn't meet with surrogates of the Russian government to get illegally obtained dirt on his opponent? 16 of his associates didn't lie about 140 denied Russian contacts? Roger Stone wasn't reaching out to Wikileaks? Papadopoulos didn't suggest asking the Russians for help? Sure. Hillary Clinton made them all do all of those things at gunpoint.

  677. The FBI is not political. They're cops. Many started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They want to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were probing two unpopular candidates - both for good reason. The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Is it a stretch to think FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump voters? Why would they be so in love with Hillary? She had high negatives. The same goes for CIA analysts, who couldn't care less about politics when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the DNC. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat. It's absurd.

  678. Like they left with T-shirts that said, "I was at the Capitol Riots and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

  679. Hillary got screwed hard. She gets a pass. So, Trump can act like a child and attack her constantly, but she can't be a "counterpuncher", as Trump claims to be? Geez, at least she has a little bit of a sense of humor. Trump is never funny.

  684. I kind of blame the media for asking Trump a thousand times in the 80s and 90s, "Have you thought about running for President?" WHY??? Because he was rich - among many rich people - but had the kind of ego that drove him to publicize it all the time?? SO?? How did that in any way qualify him to run the country?? This country is full of IDIOTS! A President should have experience in government, leadership skills, communication and problem solving skills. Being famous is not a qualification!!
    10
  685. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  690. David Eby - Biden just authorized the bombing of Iranian forces. This is how strong on Russia the last guy was: - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition.

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  691. D Man - The transcripts clearly show a quid pro quo.

  692. Funny how when it comes to asking for help with COVID, Trump insists that it's the responsibility of the localities, but he insists on federal intervention with this when the local governments don't want troops there. Has he even given an explaination to what, specifically, these "Democrat" cities are doing so wrong compared to "Republican" cities? Of course not. This is all political BS, and if a Democrat president was doing this - just like with EVERYTHING else - Trump followers would be appalled, AND THEY KNOW IT.

  693. - There is no evidence supporting Trump's claims that GOP poll watchers were shut out of the process. - Officials have repeatedly debunked claims of dead people voting.

He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - During the campaign, former National Security Advisor, convicted felon, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime.

  700. R W - So what if Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility after the next election? To do WHAT? We don't know. Maybe something LEGAL? Maybe Obama had a busy schedule. Maybe he was brushing the Russian off. "Don't call me. I'll call you". "Yeah, we should do lunch some time". Trump followers point to vagaries as proof of something nefarious, like saying the words "insurance policy" in a text proves a deep state conspiracy. But show them a ton of suspicious activity and lies by Trump, and they not only dismiss it as nothing, but insist we don't have reason to be suspicious at all.

Want to protect your home? Get a pistol or a shotgun. We had an assault weapons ban before, and the gun companies didn't go bankrupt. So what's the problem? We can't even discontinue one style of rifle? It's insane.

  711. At least Nixon said the American people deserve to know if their president is a crook. Trump says Article 2 lets him do whatever he wants, investigating him is treason, and if you criticize him, you should leave the country. He literally said these things.
    10
  712. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  717. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

  720. Don - "Officer, my money was stolen." Cop - "Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think that?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  721. If Trump's wall funding was a loan from a bank, the bankers would laugh him right out the door. So, Mexico will "pay" with the increased revenue into the treasury? Fine. Trump can open an "account", and start a dedicated wall fund. Let's see how that fund does. Money from a trade surplus doesn't go into the treasury. We also need a good, HONEST, INDEPENDENT study on how much the wall will cost. $25 billion is a figure Trump pulled out of his ass. His first figure was, like, $4 billion. Trump doesn't read or research anything. He notoriously lies about numbers, and shit ALWAYS happens. Think they'll finish under budget? Think he factored-in property rights issues? Lawsuits, over eminent domain issues? Environmental concerns? LOST revenue from lost commerce due to that wall? If Trump puts OUR MONEY where HIS MOUTH is, Mexico will not end up paying for anything. By the way, a majority of Americans do not want a wall.

  734. "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed". That's not true. If you watch, you are under-informed. If you confuse the NARRATIVE and EDITORIAL with the FACTS, you are misinformed. Sure, the media make mistakes, but mistakes aren't lies. I'd rather know half a story that's spun the wrong way than to know nothing. Yes, MSM is sensationalized. Yes, they use narratives to sell the story. They have to. I cringe whenever I hear "BREAKING NEWS!" about every little thing. Take it with a grain of salt. Extract the facts. Wikileaks is not news. Youtube hack videos are not news. They just talk about what MSM reports. Trump's Tweets are not news. Saying it gets him around the "fake" media is absurd. It gets him around due scrutiny. (with grammar errors no Yale man should ever make - "their" is not "they are". "Open Borders" doesn't get capitalized, and it's a lie to say Dems want open borders anyway). FOX News isn't even news. Sean Hannity coordinates stories with Trump! And his followers say the "liberal" media is biased?! FOX has no competition on TV. Competition is what keeps them honest. If CNN gets it wrong, ABC, NBC and PBS will get it right and get higher ratings. Free market Capitalists should know that. You MSM bashers are so much more biased than they are, and it's obvious.

  735. Dems have good ideas and policies, but they suck at messaging. Republicans have horrible ideas and policies, but they're great at messaging. RESTRUCTURING police departments is good. Chanting "DEFUND" is stupid. Dems say, "But 'defund' really means restructure." Then call it RESTRUCTURE! "Black lives matter really means all lives matter." Then call it ALL LIVES MATTER! Did they really think the right would NOT respond with, "What about white lives and blue lives? See. BLM members are the REAL racists!" Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you say "climate change", people tune out, but call it "pollution", and people listen. Pollution is a problem that demands practical discussion. The term, "climate change" has become a weapon in a culture war. You can't demand an immediate end to racism. You CAN demand an immediate end to policies conducive to police brutality. Police brutality should be the focus. Racism, brutality and pollution shouldn't even be left/right issues in the first place. So why have they become that way? Because it's a Republican tactic. Culture wars divide, and there is nothing Republicans want more. That's why they love Donald Trump and put up with his lies, ineptitude, corruption, and childish crap. It helps them politically.

  737. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan.

  738. Yeah. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

Opposition is all Republicans know. Get the job, keep the job, but actually doing the job of governing is of no concern.

  742. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  745. If Trump's wall funding was a loan from a bank, the bankers would laugh him right out the door. So, Mexico will "pay" with the increased revenue into the treasury? Fine. Trump can open an "account", and start a dedicated wall fund. Let's see how that fund does. Money from a trade surplus doesn't go into the treasury. We also need a good, HONEST, INDEPENDENT study on how much the wall will cost. $25 billion is a figure Trump pulled out of his ass. His first figure was, like, $4 billion. Trump doesn't read or research anything. He notoriously lies about numbers, and shit ALWAYS happens. Think they'll finish under budget? Think he factored-in property rights issues? Lawsuits, over eminent domain issues? Environmental concerns? LOST revenue from lost commerce due to that wall? If Trump puts OUR MONEY where HIS MOUTH is, Mexico will not end up paying for anything. By the way, a majority of Americans do not want a wall.

Napolean said, "Divide and conquer". What's better than your enemies dividing themselves? Putin needs a divided US. Trump said NATO was obsolete, that the Chinese are more honorable than the Democratic leadership, and that Putin was a better leader than Obama! Roger Stone said the Dems are worse than the Russians.

  753. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  754. To say Trump was tougher on Russia than any other President is laughable. Obama sanctioned them for invading Ukraine. Exxon/Mobile, a US oil company, could have made a $500 billion deal with a Russian oil company, but Putin invaded Ukraine, so Obama stopped the deal. Trump has been trying to LIFT sanctions. Mnuchin is trying to lift them on a Russian oligarch tied to the election meddling. The heat is on, yet they persist? Blackmail? Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was tougher on Russia than anyone. That's why Putin wanted her out of the running. Nobody can say Reagan was soft on them. Nobody has been easier on them than Trump.

  760. Kaleb - What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? The "shithole" comment. Saying he didn't want blacks, but does want Jews to count his money. Calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. that's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He repeatedly refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to blacks. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims from the country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Omorosa as a black liason). He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. Think about it - He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive to many, he REPEATS THEM. Why does he go there repeatedly? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. He shouldn't have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's. It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a BIGOT WHO PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is obvious.

A trial after he is gone will only turn into a political circus, with people angry that they're spending money and wasting time at the peak of the pandemic. They should impeach symbolically, and drop it. WHY HASN'T CONGRESS CENSURED TRUMP YET?

  769. The Russian attack had to be investigated. Whether or not Americans helped had to be part of it. Investigators found Trump associates in contact with Russians, who were lying and acting shady about it. That had to be looked into. So, no, it's not a witch hunt. It's common sense.

  770. Virus genomes are complicated. How viruses spread is simple. They evolved to invade the respiratory system for the sole purpose of reproducing. It's why they make you caugh. When this started, and those caravans in that Amazon commercial went into that middle class suburb to wave at those poor, isolated kids who'd been stuck at home for two months with nothing but their iPhones to talk to most of their friends, the crew probably stopped at the same gas station, and stood in the same line on the way into the suburb. Did the film crew wear masks when they filmed the commercial? (When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones. We sure didn't have Zoom. Two months without seeing most of your friends was called summer break). When those people who were dying of lonliness after a week, and singing from balconies, did they consider that those micro-droplets from their mouths were falling right onto the balconies and the street below? Did people who walked on that street wash their hands after they took off their shoes and unconsciously touched their eyes? Al Roker was doing the weather from home for the first two hours of the morning news, then showing up at the studio for the third hour. It's a news studio. It's the same few people in each area. You can disinfect those areas regularly. GTF to work, Al! A city bus may only have 40 riders at any given time, but do they disinfect it after every stop? That's hundreds per route. Avoid the bus. 6200 people, indoors, in a city with a COVID spike, at a campaign rally, for a POTUS whose JOB it is to deal with this problem, ENCOURAGING people to NOT wear masks as a political statement..?!? Fun fact: Trump's Oklahoma rally was the first, biggest gathering ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD since the pandemic began, even though it only drew 1/3 of the projected crowd. We should use common sense to think about how it spreads, because we're not getting a consistent message from the government. Trump's COVID task force is lead by Mike Pence, who doesn't even believe in evolution. Viruses are MASTERS of evolution because they're simple, tiny, little things that can't live long without people, but they can sure get around the world really fast. Advertisers will always tell you to "get back out there" because their job is to sell products and services.

  771. Watching the Trump presidency is like watching Jerry Springer. I know it will always be the same mind-numbingly stupid crap. Sometimes it's kind of funny, but it just shows how stupid our society has become. I sure couldn't stand to watch it more than once in a blue moon, but his loyal fan base can't get enough. It's the same with those ridiculous reality game shows like The Apprentice. I never once watched it, and I was only even aware of it from skipping past it with the remote control. Did his followers watch it every day and never get sick of it?

Once Biden takes office, he'll dust off the pandemic plans from the Bush and Obama administrations that Trump has ignored.

  792. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  793. How could Assad and Saddam gas their own people? They didn't consider them their own. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than the Democrats. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT. To Trump, it's no big deal that Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by the Saudis. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news"? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" He considered handing a former US Ambassador to Russia over to Putin. Michael Flynn tried to have a US resident kidnapped and delivered to Turkey to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians. Trump has worked hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs directly implicated in meddling in our election. Trump betrays his own people. He is loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed with daddy's money in New York. No? Then, let's see those tax returns.

Remember when Bush got into trouble for saying "Bring 'em on" in reference to terrorists? Hey, he was just exercising free speech, right? The last thing Democrats, especially Joe Biden, wanted to be doing in the first weeks of the new administration was to be impeaching the guy they finally got rid of. It wasn't good for Dems politically. Ethics and accountability dictated that they had to impeach him. If Republicans had any ethics or desire for accountability, they wouldn't be making that stupid argument that Dems love to hate him so much that they can't let him go.

He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  802. Rod - So, saying that the elections look like they won't be fair and secure means he wants them unfair and unsecure?? Idiot.

  803. BradLee Jones - Trump never had an approval rating over 50%, but you think he won in a "landslide"? He treated over half the country as an enemy, but you think they voted for him?

  804. The Republican party needs to split into two parties - the Libertarians and the Trumpians. Libertarians can cozy up to FOX News. Trumpians can have OANN and Newsmax. Or whatever. That's just how I'd like to see it split. Libertarians come from the right, but embrace a lot of liberal ideas, in theory anyway. We just need a third party to cut down on the hyper-tribalism and one-issue voting. But I'd probably be a fool to think it could actually happen. It never does on either side because both sides will absorb any new party that starts to form like big companies absorb smaller ones.

  805. Let me get this straight: Supposedly, EVERYBODY was in on the scam - Individual voters, poll workers, mail carriers, local election boards, the media, the DNC, Biden himself, all Democrats, many Republicans, CISA, the DOJ, Soros, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... And they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only those on Biden's side did this. None were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!? Do you people hear yourselves?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/05/politics/trump-november-election-roundup/index.html

  806. Mnuchin took a trip on the taxpayer dime along the path of totality during that solar eclipse that ended up at Fort Knox. He said he went to "inspect the gold". Ryan Zinke used taxpayer funds to have a parade route end at his house. Scott Pruit was running around town looking for used hotel mattresses and special lotions. Tom Price was insider trading. Mike Flynn was making side deals with the Saudis, Turks, and Russians. Rob Porter and Steve Bannon were wife beaters. All the best people.

  811. I knew this was going to happen. Trump fans would start ripping on Biden for any, little thing. Then, when liberals start saying, "But you excused Trump when he did the same thing, but much worse," Trump fans would start saying, "What about what you said about Trump?" It's like the Israelis and the Palestinians both saying, "You started it!" going back to 2006, then 2000, 1967, 700 AD, 3000 BC... Two wrongs don't make a right. A mountain isn't a mole hill. If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones. Don't compare apples to oranges. Don't compare apples to orangutans. Don't project. Don't be hypocritical. Don't kill the messenger (the media). Don't deflect. When you point a finger, you point three back at yourself. Those who cry "bias" are usually biased...

  812. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to "avoid panic." Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but it's okay to let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced back to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off our guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what we want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's a Republican, even if he's an habitual liar. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. We support the middle class. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  815. How many Inspectors General looking into his activities does Trump have to fire before the MAGA crowd wakes up? How many former employees, appointees, and family members have to speak out? How many more lies does he have to tell? How many more excuses for hiding his records? How much more open solicitation of foreign government election help? How many more vulgar Tweets? How many more authoritarian actions? How many more times does he have to say that everything reported about him is a lie? How many more crooked associates have to be exposed? How many more people have to tell them he is exactly how he presents himself to be?

  816. I think they're both true - the extortion plot and the statutory/trafficking thing with Gaetz. To me, his explaination sounds like BS. And that's a shady crowd. Gaetz, Roger Stone, that crooked, crazy tax collector, all hanging with Trump every chance they got. That's some effed-up zh1t right there

  817. Steve Austin - And you think those are because of the brand new administration (that is addressing those problems), and not the administration that just left? You obviously don't know what you're talking about, or you'd realize that Biden couldn't have caused those problems that fast even if he wanted to. Are you one of those people who complained that liberals automatically hated Trump for no reason? Take a look in the mirror. My God, there is virtually no issue that right wingers don't respond to with hypocrisy or pure projection.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  822. - Imagine Joe Biden's lawyer telling an angry mob to march to the Capitol and have a trial by combat. - Imagine Barack Obama siding with Putin over the CIA in front of the world, then trying to say he actually meant the opposite. - Imagine Chelsae Clinton, her husband, and John Podesta being caught meeting with Chinese intelligence officers in 2016 to trade illegally obtained information on Trump for sanction relief. - Imagine Barack Obama lying about a pandemic that had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. - Imagine what happened in 2000 happened in 2020. Trump wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral college by 500 votes in one state where Biden's brother is the governor. Now imagine, in that scenario, that the Republicans control the House and Senate. - Imagine, as it was in 1998, that the Special Council investigating Trump was a member of the opposing party. - Imagine Hillary Clinton on an audio recording telling someone she can grab men by the junk because she's a star. - Imagine Joe Biden destroying interpreter notes from a meeting with the Chinese President and instructing the attendees not to talk about it with White House staff. - Imagine Barack Obama's personal lawyer, two campaign managers, campaign "dirty trickster", National Security Advisor, campaign Security Advisor, and inauguration manager being convicted of felonies. Imagine he also set a record for cabinet members and staff leaving in scandal. - Imagine Obama's charity being shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality." I could go on and on for hours with things like this right off the top of my head. The MAGA crowd KNOWS how they would feel if any of the above had happened.

  827. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  830. Within about a week's time, Donald Trump mocked a former FBI lawyer he'd been bad-mouthing for 2 years by making sex noises, verbally attacked a 16-year-old girl who is only fighting for a clean environment, and suggested that a grieving widow's deceased husband was in hell. That last one was also full of lies. He railed against keeping flags at half staff for John McCain. He attacked a Muslim, gold star mother. He mocked a handicapped journalist. These were all because those people dared to oppose him in the slightest ways. Need I explain why we, on the left, have concerns about that petty, vindictive jackass being leader of the free world?

The next time you glom onto some vague, ridiculous talking point that attacks the Democrats, ask yourself what and how much evidence you have for that.

  850. Trump is desperate to keep a job he has no interest in doing. He's in his 70s and has more money than he could ever spend for the remainder of his life, but wants to spend his golden years working in a government he thinks is crooked among crooked people. He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.

You're talking about a concerted effort among many conspirators in many locations. Identity theft, MAJOR counterfeiting operation, recruiting, bankrolling, money laundering, hacking, forging pieces of information along the ballot supply chain that HAVE NEVER OCCURRED TO YOU...You think the "conspirators" hinged the whole necessary operation on SNEAKING BOXES OF BALLOTS TO THEIR STATION UNNOTICED?? They had rules prohibiting blue pens and Coca-Cola. Biden won. Maybe Trump should have reached out beyond his base. HE NEVER HAD AN APPROVAL RATING OVER 50%. Do you understand that? NOT ONE DAY OVER 50%. He lied his ass off all the time, failed to deliver on his biggest campaign promises, and left office with a tanking economy as we learned he lied about the pandemic. How on Earth could he EVER have had a chance to win?

  855. Once you've accused people of being satanic, cannibalistic child molesters, I don't think there's any way to top that. It's obvious they just thought about the very worst things anyone can be and decided that's what they are. And for some reason, they're all Democrats. A left-wing sex traffick ring. That's hilarious to me. Ask the pedophiles in prison why they did it. I seriously doubt they'd say Obama and the Clintons inspired them.

  856. This wouldn't even be a big deal, except that hypocrite, Trump, bashed Obama for playing golf a fraction of the time he does. He also bashed Hillary Clinton for going to a concert ON HER BIRTHDAY, during the 2016 campaign.

  858. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  861. - PROTESTING, (not rioting), AND attending a Trump rally are BOTH UNSAFE. - Most protesters wear masks. Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns. You can watch him lie on TV.

  864. aleefco - I had no idea that douchebag had that reality show for 13 seasons because I always changed the channel without a second thought. He's the president now, and a terrible one, so we have to pay attention and keep our eye on him. Duuh. Maybe YOU should learn a little more about what he's doing and how he's screwing us, and that means screwing you, too. Maybe you should watch some of that "fake" news, and listen to the facts instead of worrying about the attitude you perceive from the reporters.

  868.  Steve Austin  I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.

And Dems won't end the filibuster if Republicans would stop passing laws that suppress voters. They're making it their first priority to sabotage the president. You do realize they WANT Biden to fail at things they agree need to be done, right? Nobody wants big government. I sure don't. I want EFFICIENT government. Bang for my tax buck. The job of the government is to tax and spend, and it's their job to pick up the ball when the private sector drops it. That doesn't make us socialists.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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.

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

He lied about his compensation and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  876. Trump's post-acquittal statement: "It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree. I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honorably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate." Anyone with more than three active brain cells and half a clue knows he is describing HIMSELF. So, Democrats did all of those things, and by the same standard, he did NOT?? WTF?? - His party controlled the entire government for the first half of his presidency. What "free pass"? - HE denigrated the rule of law. - HE encouraged a riot that killed and maimed law enforcement officers as HE cheered on a mob. That is OBVIOUS. He has the nerve to even mention law enforcement? BLM protests were not created by, and the ensuing riots were not encouraged by the Dems. How the fk do all of these idiots not see that?? - HE blacklisted, cancelled and suppressed. - HE viciously fought against anyone who didn't agree with him, even with those in his own party, and on his own staff, even if they were fiercely loyal to him up until the one time they disagreed. EVERYTHING Trump said applies to HIMSELF. What a disgusting, vengeful, stupid, sociopathic, incompetent, narcissistic piece of zhit.

And Republicans wonder why they're so often seen as racist. SMH. Neither the riots nor the demonstrations had anything to do with the Democratic party, so your false equivalency is ridiculous.

And not finding anything but "secret society" and "insurance policy" in a couple of text messages among months and months of them.

  888. Did I pre-judge Donald Trump? I didn't like him. I knew he was a liar, but when he was elected, I didn't think he would lie 20,000 times in under 4 years. I thought he exchanged winks and a nods with Putin, but not that he was flat-out colluding, complete with transactions, meetings and operatives. Now I know he did. I thought he was a narcissist, but not nearly this bad. I thought he was a little racist, but more of an elitist, and indifferent towards minorities. Now, he's shown he's a full-blown racist bigot, and it drives his policy-making. I thought he hid his tax returns because he didn't want us to know he wasn't as rich as he said. I thought maybe he cheated a little on his taxes. Now, I think he's a major criminal, and those returns are his kryptonite. I knew he cheated on his wives. I thought he was like a frat boy towards women. Now I strongly suspect he's a sexual deviant and a date rapist - statutory and otherwise. I knew he was cold-blooded and into revenge, but didn't think he was a sociopath. Now, I see he has a clinical lack of empathy and sympathy. He is a crazy degree of vengeful. I thought there were lines he wouldn't cross. Now, I think he would literally kill to stay in power. If he wouldn't in 2016, he would now. Look how he equates the US to Russia. His answer to, "Putin kills journalists" was "America has a lot of killers." He equated Putin to his own soldiers in Iraq. I thought he wasn't very smart, but my God, what an IDIOT! He went to college? He doesn't understand the most basic things we learned in the 8th grade! I thought he was a con MAN, but too dumb to be a con ARTIST. Now I know more about con artist strategy. I STILL think he's a dumb, two-bit con man, but I didn't think he was so stupid that he couldn't recognize when HE is being conned. He's being conned by foreign adversaries. He's being conned by CROOKS IN HIS OWN PARTY AND BY HIS OWN EMPLOYEES. In the end, WE are getting screwed.

Not yet. - "It's about national security. We have to do this NOW". What a convenient way to get around scrutiny. - "I'm a regular guy, so I understand you." Do you want your surgeon to be a regular guy? Your airline pilot? Your lawyer? - "It's not my fault. It's the 'others' among you. I'll help you deal with them". See Hitler, the war on drugs, maniacal cult leaders, and wars throughout history. Trump followers, does any of this ring a bell?

  894. Crab People - Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  900. Why do we only hear about masks and distance? I think people mindlessly go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is the same as being too close. Elevators and city busses are major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. How many people attend events in cars, but stop at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often thins crowds, and allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Are you aware of touching your eyes after taking off your shoes, after walking on possibly virus-covered floors? The more a virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Then we need a new vaccine.

  910. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

Republicans haven't passed an infrastructure bill or proposed anything to replace Obamacare. - Accuse Obama of playing too much golf in defense of someone who plays much more. - Decry Obama adding to the national debt as Trump is adding to it at a higher rate. When Trump was told in 2017 that the debt was projected to rise sharply over the next 8 years, he responded, "I don't care. I'll be gone then."

Once one plaintiff sues, does that mean that anyone can jump on the train and sue, too? Like a class action? The SCOTUS should have blocked this immediately.

  917. Set aside whether or not Trump wanted a riot to occur before it happened. He sure as hell wanted it to continue once it was underway. Any other president would have done his duty, immediately called in backup, and immediately told the rioters to stop. Instead, as they rioted, Trump tweeted that Mike Pence lacked courage and argued with Rep. McCarthy about calling off the mob and said, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." And the MAGA crowd still doesn't get it why we compare it to a cult. It's mind-blowing.

  918. Trump is putting forth two contradictory defenses. One is that there was no quid pro quo. He didn't hold up the aid and a White House meeting until the Ukrainians announced investigations. He didn't know Lev Parnas, and Parnas was not conducting shadow foreign policy in Ukraine. The other is that he did these things, but that it was perfectly legal. He was fighting corruption in Ukraine. The first one is easy to disprove. Trump is on tape talking shop with Lev Parnas. Mick Mulvaney said there was a quid pro quo. So did Sondland, and about a dozen other witnesses, in sworn testimony. The second is just as easy to disprove. If this was a legitimate anti-corruption initiative, why the secrecy? Why did he hide the record of that phone call on a super-secure hard drive? Why did the whistleblower make his/her complaint? It was legit, but nobody explained that? Why did the IG determine that the complaint had merit? If Trump was just fighting corruption, why did he remove the ambassador to Ukraine whose specialty it was to root out corruption in Ukraine? Of all of the potential corruption there, why now go after Biden, his biggest political threat, for stuff that happened years ago? And the "server"? Why make up such an utterly, totally, ridiculously absurd thing to investigate? If the Ukrainian government hacked our election, why have them INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES? Why push for only the ANNOUNCEMENT of these probes, and not actual probes? Zelinsky never did the investigations or announce them. So why did Trump finally release the aid? These things are obvious to those who aren't turning a blind eye to them.

  919. Trump says he didn't try to fire Mueller, but he won't say that to Mueller. If the White House lawyer (who threatened to resign) and at least 3 other people who sourced the story say otherwise and Mueller corroborates that, Trump can either commit perjury or plead the 5th. A reminder - this came out days after we found out Christopher Wray, Trump's own pick to replace Comey, threatened to resign because Trump wanted to fire Comey's deputy. Trump also denies knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting, the Republican party platform change, and Flynn's sanction talk with the Russian ambassador. Same thing - If others say otherwise, perjury or the 5th. Trump is too dumb to realize he is screwed.

  925. Trump has GOT TO GO, and his whole damn cult of followers need to be psychologically de-programmed. Watching the news, I feel like I'm in the fucking Twilight Zone. 1)- FOX News is saying "CNN lied" because Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, ON CNN, walked-back a previous statement about what Cohen knows about the Trump Tower meeting. It's a walk back, but let's call it a lie for arguments sake, because that doesn't matter. He lied ON CNN. CNN didn't lie. Someone went ON the news and lied. People go on the news and lie all the time. End of story. Since when the fuck did we start blaming news outlets for that? (By the way, it's very possible that it IS true, Lanny Davis said too much, and he's backing off because he is screwing up his client's chances for a plea deal with Mueller. Personally, I don't give a damn. It's completely beside the point). 2)- Trump tweeted, AFTER 15 MONTHS, that "Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia" in the infamous interview where he said he was thinking of the Trump/"Rusher" thing when he fired James Comey. Why he fired Comey, and if it was obstruction, is completely irrelevant here. TRUMP NOW SAYS THAT THE REPORT IS LITERALLY FAKED, and that we can't believe what we heard come right out of his mouth - OVER A YEAR AGO! Lester Holt got CAUGHT? By who? How? When? The video is not altered, and Holt was never "caught" altering it! I can't believe I feel compelled to ask the rhetorical question here - If that ever happened to anyone, who the fuck would wait 15 months to say it?? By the way, video production is someone else's job. I also feel compelled to point out that he's done this before. Long after he ADMITTED to saying, "Grab 'em by the pussy" in the Access Hollywood tape, he was telling people - Senators - that he thought THAT tape was fake! And I think he said, "maybe" it was fake. MAYBE? As if someone wouldn't be SURE if that happened?? 3)- Trump is saying Google is making their search results biased against him and suggesting liberal news sites. He wants an investigation! Holy shit, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. It doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. The purpose of a search engine is to figure out what people are looking for. Google's algorithms learn by many users TELLING IT what they are trying to find, not the other way around. It goes by popular trends and the user's search history, so if you think every major news site other than FOX News is "liberal", you're more likely to get a "liberal" site BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Who searches "Trump news" anyway? You don't know what you're going to get. Find a site you trust, and go directly to it. Trump has no evidence to back up his claim. NONE. An investigation? Simple. Google responded by denying it. So all that's left is to call a tech guy to confirm it. He should have done that FIRST before making the accusation. Duh! And why the hell does he think Google would be out to get him? He's such a narcissist that he can't understand that he isn't the focus of everybody and every companies' attention 24/7. How many people, companies, and agencies does Trump have to say are out to get him before his followers realize he is a paranoid narcissist? HE LITERALLY SAYS THE CIA IS OUT TO GET HIM. THAT'S WHAT PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS SAY! How many people does he have to say is lying about him before his followers think, "Maybe HE is the one who is lying". He is CLEARLY scared shitless about being charged with Obstruction of Justice. How much more like a guilty person does he have to act before they think, "Just maybe he is guilty". He calls the free press the ENEMY of the people! The President of the United States! These Trump cultists need to WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

  929. Dems should end the filibuster now, and pass infrastructure, minimum wage, voting rights protections, marijuana decriminalization...Those issues have broad, popular support across the political spectrum.

  930. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY!

Hell, by your own logic, the fact that banned blue pens were found being used means that audit is invalid.

Wait, nobody said that? That's right, because you simpletons refuse to even THINK about what it would take to pull off these conspiracies! It's just "Duh, I seed a box. Duh, sumthing bad." How the hell would they even know what registered voters were NOT going to vote, and only use their stolen identities? Who bankrolled all of this and laundered the money? Jeez, do you huff glue for breakfast?

  943. Did I pre-judge Donald Trump? I didn't like him. I knew he was a liar, but when he was elected, I didn't think he would lie 20,000 times in under 4 years. I thought he exchanged winks and a nods with Putin, but not that he was flat-out colluding, complete with transactions, meetings and operatives. Now I know he did. I thought he was a narcissist, but not nearly this bad. I thought he was a little racist, but more of an elitist, and indifferent towards minorities. Now, he's shown he's a full-blown racist bigot, and it drives his policy-making. I thought he hid his tax returns because he didn't want us to know he wasn't as rich as he said. I thought maybe he cheated a little on his taxes. Now, I think he's a major criminal, and those returns are his kryptonite. I knew he cheated on his wives. I thought he was like a frat boy towards women. Now I strongly suspect he's a sexual deviant and a date rapist - statutory and otherwise. I knew he was cold-blooded and into revenge, but didn't think he was a sociopath. Now, I see he has a clinical lack of empathy and sympathy. He is a crazy degree of vengeful. I thought there were lines he wouldn't cross. Now, I think he would literally kill to stay in power. If he wouldn't in 2016, he would now. Look how he equates the US to Russia. His answer to, "Putin kills journalists" was "America has a lot of killers." He equated Putin to his own soldiers in Iraq. I thought he wasn't very smart, but my God, what an IDIOT! He went to college? He doesn't understand the most basic things we learned in the 8th grade! I thought he was a con MAN, but too dumb to be a con ARTIST. Now I know more about con artist strategy. I STILL think he's a dumb, two-bit con man, but I didn't think he was so stupid that he couldn't recognize when HE is being conned. He's being conned by foreign adversaries. He's being conned by CROOKS IN HIS OWN PARTY AND BY HIS OWN EMPLOYEES. In the end, WE are getting screwed.

  950. America has really lowered its standards. We elected a president who really doesn't do ANYTHING. He doesn't know anything, and has no interest in learning. He doesn't strategize or think about policy. He doesn't care about speaking or spelling correctly. He doesn't care about history, geopolitics, or science. He doesn't make the connection between actions and consequences. He won't even come up with a new campaign strategy. He'll just stand behind podiums and talk shit. He just reacts without a care in the world about what the truth actually is. That's how he becomes whatever his supporters want him to be. Even if he loses the next election, he'll get just as close to winning as any previous candidate by simply talking shit about those who disapprove of him, and rambling nonsensically about windmills and dishwashers. He really has nothing to do with the good economy or the fact that we aren't in a bloody war. He's just presiding over fair times. If things get bad, we're screwed. The damage he is doing is like termites. When we finally notice it, the whole house will be falling down.

  951. For those Trump followers who say, "What about the rioters?" when asked about the health of rallygoers: - That's not a reasonable answer. - PROTESTING, (not rioting), AND attending a Trump rally are BOTH UNSAFE. - Most protesters wear masks. Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns.

  952. Technically, lying to the public violates Trump's oath of office. Obviously, all politicians lie, but he is pathological. He has told over 12,000 lies in less than three years.

  956. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go.

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  961. The President of the United States has asked the president of a foreign nation to investigate a US citizen, with no basis whatsoever. Trump wants a fishing expedition. A witch hunt. And not just a US citizen, but a prominent former Senator and Vice President. Let that sink in. After all of the shit Trump put himself through over foreign help from Russia, he solicits and extorts Ukraine for the same thing. After all Trump put himself through, opposing his own country's intelligence, siding with Putin in Helsinki, trying to deny that Russia ever even meddled, he tries to resurrect the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory. This is pure insanity.

The "reasoning" there is that it would make Trump look bad. That also makes no sense because all Trump had to do was address the problem competently and we would have praised him as a leader in a crisis. The right has lost its collective mind.

I believe there is intelligent life on other planets, but I also know how big the universe is and the limits of how fast anything can travel through space. The odds of aliens coming to Earth during the short period of time we're alive are astronomical. An alien craft would have to either be so advanced that it could fly in a range of atmospheres and gravity or it would have to be built specifically to work on Earth. The former is impractical. With the latter, why would they specifically come here, but then not reveal themselves?

  970. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated.

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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

  973. Trump called the Russian bounty reports a "hoax". Well, that's the same as 1)- Telling Russia they can get away with anything they want to do to us, and 2)- that he will not condemn Russia, not even to say, "even if you didn't, you better not," and he will take no action at all to deal with this. Did he need proof when he was accusing Biden of crimes? Obama? Iran? North Korea (sometimes)? Joe Scarborough? Clinton? Ted Cruz' father? BLM? The "deep state"..?

"evidence - n. every type of proof legally presented at trial (allowed by the judge) which is intended to convince the judge and/or jury of alleged facts material to the case. It can include oral testimony of witnesses, including experts on technical matters, documents, public records, objects, photographs and depositions (testimony under oath taken before trial). It also includes so-called "circumstantial evidence" which is intended to create belief by showing surrounding circumstances which logically lead to a conclusion of fact" ..........

  980. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  981. If Mueller had indicted Trump, there would have been a huge battle in the political realm about that DOJ guideline. Trump could have possibly pardoned himself. Then, Mueller would have prejudiced any subsequent indictment by a pardon-proof jurisdiction. If he had indicted Trump Jr, Trump Sr. would have pardoned him. Hopefully, SDNY is going to get those crooks - where it is pardon-proof.

  982. The FBI is NOT FULL OF POLITICIANS. Think about it - Who works for the FBI? COPS. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to become political idealists. They want to bust drug dealers, murderers, mafia thugs and money launderers. That's the nature of the business. They don't get into. Politics got into them when they had to deal with a perfect storm of having to make decisions about two unpopular presidential candidates who were both under investigation - both for good reason - during an election year. And if you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans, at least half. Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller and McCabe are all Conservatives. If Trump was so great, and appealed to enough Conservative Republicans to get elected, why is it such a stretch to believe members of the conservative-leaning FBI wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with Liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Sure, Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass, saying controversial things during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might settle down and "pivot" once he got elected. We thought he might not end up lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every single day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal" FBI shit is nonsense.

And again, NOBODY IS FORCING YOU, but it's insane to think people are going to stop trying to talk COMMON SENSE into people while this thing continues. Does what I'm saying make sense? Of course it does! I'm sick of people going all over the place, desperate for a talking point that SOUNDS good TO THEM, but refuse to be corrected when they're flat-out wrong and it's obvious.

How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?

  990. There is no bottom with the "Trump wing" of the right. It's more like they reached a critical mass of supporters and collapsed into a black hole - No "bottom", and no return.

  992. Kentucky fried chicken still uses the same original recipe, but it started calling itself, "KFC" to take the focus off of the word, "fried," which sounded unhealthy. BLM should re-brand, and drop the "B." It should still be about racial injustice, but they'd reach other demographics - Conservatives whites who don't know they're racist, are racially insensitive, or simply ignorant about racial issues. A lot of cops fall into those categories. BLM needs visible leadership, and those leaders should resist the urge to appear militant. It just scares whites into voting for Trump, who basically told racists and xenophobes who hated Obama just because he was black that, "You're not racists. You're PATRIOTS defending your culture!" BLM needs to prioritize its goals. Ending police brutality is more important than taking Uncle Ben's picture off of rice. Housing and job discrimination is more important than renaming Fort Hood. They need to put an official code of conduct for protests right there on its website next to the mission statement, which by the way, is not a terrorist manifesto. There are racists online flat-out lying about that. If BLM had leaders doing interviews on the news more often, they could better debunk those rumors.
    8
  993. That "Democratic mob" talking point is a strategy. After the Kavanaugh confirmation, the Republicans realized that grievance turns-out more voters than satisfaction. It is ridiculous to say liberals are more prone to violence than conservatives. Virtually ALL of the racial hate groups are on the right. It's only the right-wingers who leave those "we want civil war" comments online. But it's also ridiculous to say ANY violent fringe group - left or right - speak for the whole group.

  1005. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  1007. So, the "deep state" plan to get Trump was to let him - even HELP him - get elected, and then go after him afterward? You'd think they would try to PREVENT his election in the first place. Why would Comey announce the re-opening of the Clinton email case, but not the Russia investigation? (To stay out of politics). Why didn't the Clinton camp put out the dossier before the election? (Steele didn't give it to Clinton. He gave it to the FBI). Why didn't the Clinton camp expose Manafort, Papadopoulos, Cohen, and Page's dealings before the election? (Clinton didn't know about it. The FBI did, and they kept it quiet so they wouldn't screw-up their case. If they were out to stop Trump, they would have leaked it to Clinton). Make sense?

  1008. -The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 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.

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.

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.

  1011. Trump supporters don't believe anything until indictments are handed down or a judge bangs a gavel. In theory, I can see not believing things until they are official, but history and common sense show that virtually every anonymous source the media use are real, and their statements turn out to be true. Most often, they aren't anonymous sources. They are UN-NAMED sources - and there is a big difference. Trump followers don't seem to know the difference between FACT and OPINION in the media. They don't know the difference between what someone AT at network says and someone ON a network says. Most facts the media report are correct. When they sometimes get the facts wrong, 99 times out of 100, it is a MISTAKE, not a LIE. Trump is clearly desperate, and he sounds like a childish fool when he says things like, "Anonymous sources are made up". It is simply not true.

Bush created the breeding ground for Al Qaeda and ISIL. Iran's "rise" had nothing to do with Obama. Again, the Iraq war did that. In trying to continue the Bush policy of "Iraqis running Iraq," Obama allowed ISIL to take Mosul, but most of that blame should go to the idiots in Iraq who thought ISIL would protect them from the Shiite death squads.

Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

He tried to sell himself as a choir boy when he was clearly a wild, little frat rat. He'd have done better to say, "Yes, I drank and we chased girls, but I never tried to rape anyone. I grew up since then". Now, he has to explain the inconsistencies in his statements that will arise from the additional FBI vetting, or withdraw. Lesson to Republican lawmakers - Have standards. Drop the tribal crap. Not just anyone with an R by their name will do. It's like bishops who protect pedophile priests and police chiefs who protect dirty cops. Protect your own TO A POINT, but get rid of the bad apples.

  1033. Republicans hate change. Being conservative is one thing. Denying the future is another. They reflexively resist clean energy, ethnic diversity, pot legalization, health care reform, and progress with Cuba and Iran. They only care about the next election, even if it means feeding BS to their base that leaves their extremists festering with anger like time bombs. They're stuck on an 18th century militia model of gun rights, as if the Brits are going to invade or as if they'd stand a chance if the US military turned its high-tech weapons and robot soldiers on them. They don't want the minimum wage to keep up with inflation. They want a 2000 year old religion to influence the government. Their last President was a 50's man who liked Sinatra and wanted the wife to have dinner on the table when he got home. You don't have to be a progressive to progress.

  1043. Al Bundy - COLLUSION: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  1044. 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.
    8
  1045. A few questions for Trump supporters: Assume Trump, as he says, was unaware of all of those Russian contacts. Do you think Trump was angry when he found out that his son attended the Trump Tower meeting? Why would Don Jr even hold the meeting there - while his father was in the building? Do you think Trump was angry with Mike Flynn for undermining Obama's sanctions on Russia behind Trump's back? Was Trump upset with JD Gordon for having Republican party platform language changed to favor Russia? Upset with Kushner for his attempts to set up back channels with Russia? With Papadopoulis? With Manafort for offering campaign updates to Russia? Publicly, Trump has stated he knew about NONE of these things, yet also stated that ALL of them were okay. We know that early on, the FBI SPECIFICALLY warned Trump about Russian interference and told him to report it to them if he saw any, (Like the DOJ and Obama warned him about Flynn). Why didn't he do that? Do you people really think that these campaign staffers were all in the know, (they sure did circulate this info. among the entire staff), but kept Trump in the dark about it? He wants us to believe his whole campaign was keeping all things Russia from him. If it's proven that he knew about any of it, he is screwed. See where I'm going with this?

PRIMARY THEM!

  1051. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  1052. CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, ballot audits, multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy, a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead.

  1053. Fun fact: Trump paid for fake online polls in 2016, and he is suing CNN over the real ones.

  1054. Democrats need to run against Trump, but in addition to a strong policy message. May I suggest education? There have been teacher strikes. The population is clearly dumbing down. Our president is a dumbass. And that seems like a cause better suited for Dems. Republicans get rabid against the teachers' unions, calling them terrorist organizations and saying teachers are spoiled and whiney for wanting raises to not have to buy books and pencils out of their own pockets. And when they attack Trump, they have to veil it. Don't say "impeachment", because the Big Yam hasn't been charged with anything (YET). They should use terms like "oversight", "ethics", and "political norms". Trump will be crying, "Vote Republican or they'll impeach me!" I want their dumb, lazy, Trump-loving asses to not bother to go out and vote in some lame-ass mid-term. Democratic voters are already pretty motivated against him, but they need a little push.

  1061. Fauci and Birx should QUIT. They shouldn't remain on a task force whose leaders contradict them. They can speak from another platform. Even just the threat of quitting would help. Trump doesn't want the headline: "Top Epidemiologist Resigns, Cites Trump Contradictions."

  1062. Trump supporters, let's say for argument's sake that the DNC kept the servers from the FBI. What do you think happened? If you say, "Seth Rich", then you can't say the FBI was in on it. They kept the servers from them, right? Furthermore, how do you explain the Trump Tower meeting? Explain how Trump can believe the Russians didn't meddle when his own son admits that he tried to meddle with them. How do you explain this being an excuse for losing an election when the probe started months before the election? Have you people even thought this through?

  1063. What "horrendous acts"? Why can't you people talk aboit the issues of now without bringing up Hillary Clinton? And you have the facts so fucked-up when you do - and you seem completely uninterested in even knowing the facts. It's pathetic. Have you gotten a sense yet of how angry the sane majority is getting with your billshit? I'm just saying, in the words of Steve Bannon - Trump is "sitting on the beach trying to stop a category 5".

  1064. 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.

But any baseless, nonsensical conspiracy theory he throws out there should be investigated, right?

Didn't FOX News show it "in context"? Wow, the denial and ignorance is strong with you all. He said it. His son told the crowd that THEY were weak if they didn't fight. His lawyer told them to wage "trial by combat" as Trump cheered him on. Just imagine it was Biden, his son, and his lawyer daying and doing the same things. Do you honestly expect us to believe you'd hold the same opinion?

  1073. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

Have you paid much attention to presidential politics in your life? If so, you would see how abnormal he is. Trump stands CREDIBLY accused of many crimes, from before, during, and after his campaign. He is incapable of telling the truth. Can you honestly say you would be okay with Obama doing and saying what Trump does and says?

  1082. Kushmael McFlurray - Well, the president accuses people of crimes all the time, and refuses to even explain how what they did is criminal. The whistleblower didn't accuse him of a crime. He/she reported it to the IG, who investigated, then reported that the concerns were valid. Congress is doing an inquiry, and if the inquiry proves substantial, then Congress will accuse him of crimes. That's how it works.

  1083. 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?

  1084. - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms - for cheap. It's because of our wealth. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success", except it's not a bullshit excuse for poor war planning. - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall because they're beset on all sides by terrorists who want to kill Jews. We only have two political borders. The 9/11 terrorists came in legally. They boarded planes and bought box cutters legally. Geography has been good to the US. - In Europe, you can't go a few hundred miles without being somewhere the locals speak another language. Spanish is pretty close to English, which is rooted in Latin. The US isn't on the metric system because we have the size, geography, and power to say, "Screw that. We're not changing all of those road signs". Again, "catastrophic success", but this isn't a catastrophe or a national emergency. I'd like to keep ALLIES on our borders...But keep an eye on those shady Canadians. (Seriously. Putin is building military bases up North, and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house in Alaska). - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - Legal weed should be part of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They spray that crumbly, brown shit with pesticides that even Trump won't de-regulate. The "sin tax" on weed, paid by grateful potheads, would pay for his wall faster than anything we could skim from the USMCA. - "It's no fun being an illegal alien" - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If the government was serious about keeping "them" out, it would crack-down on the employers. Why don't they? (Money and special interests). - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Donald Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back".

    8
  1093. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  1094. Anyone else notice how ridiculous it was that Trump wanted the mob to interrupt Congressional Republicans' interruption of the vote certification? Certification usually takes about an hour.

  1095. Let me get this straight: Supposedly, EVERYBODY was in on the scam - Individual voters, poll workers, mail carriers, local election boards, the media, the DNC, Biden himself, all Democrats, many Republicans, CISA, the DOJ, Soros, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... And they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only those on Biden's side did this. None were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!? Do you people hear yourselves?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/05/politics/trump-november-election-roundup/index.html

  1104. danny nolte - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

  1109. One thing the Republicans are a lot better at than the Democrats is messaging. Dems suck at it. Republicans can get the Right to believe the craziest lies and parrot the most illogical nonsense. Dems have the truth on their side and don't know how to disseminate it. They say a lie can get around the world before the truth can get out of the driveway... or something akin to that. So the ignorant MAGA crowd has "Let's go Brandon!" Well, how about "IF BIDEN DID IT..?" Virtually EVERYTHING we criticized Donald Trump for, they fiercely defended. But THEY KNOW and WE ALL KNOW that if Biden had done it or Biden had said it, they would have been outraged. I've asked them that question many, many times, and NOT ONE has ever had the nerve to say they'd have been okay with Biden (or Obama or Clinton) acting exactly like Trump - habitually lying, secret meetings with Russian intelligence, lying about COVID, attempting a coup...just to name a few. There are literally THOUSANDS. What you will get is "Why are you still talking about Trump?" That's a ridiculous talking point for many reasons. Let them say that again when Trump concedes the election or when they support the January 6th Commission. IF BIDEN DID IT..? It should be on bumper stickers.

  1111. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they gas their own people?" It's because they don't consider them their own, or even people at all. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy and for cutting unemployment in half, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. Devoid of any class or respect, he bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) I guess, to Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrannical monarch. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news" Washington Post? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" Trump actually considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election to install Trump as President. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump is a traitor, loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed miserably with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you FOX News junkies and Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. You Russian trolls already know. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

  1117. Trump's Twitter feed is not news. It is the opinion of a raving bullshit artist. Wikileaks is not news. It is raw information, usually in no context, disseminated by someone who started with a noble cause, but who is now politically biased because he has been stuck in an embassy, far from home, shitting his pants all day because he is a wanted man in half of the Western world. Just like Trump, Assange is bitter about America. Trump, because US banks would no longer finance him, and Assange, because the US wants to imprison him. Assange's position is at least more understandable, because he isn't American. Remember when Trump said, "I love Wikileaks!" Hypocritcal, because he also said Ed Snowden should be executed. ASSANGE HELPED SNOWDEN! But Assange should learn from Snowden. Ed Snowden has no delusions about what he got himself into. He made great sacrifices for his country. He doesn't blame Trump or Obama, and Obama doesn't hate him. Snowden knew the law, and that being that kind of whistleblower has consequences. But I digress. Wikileaks isn't news. Neither is InfoWars. Neither are any Youtube, journalist wannabe hacks who think they're fucking Edward R. Murrow because they "produce" a podcast on a laptop in their garage every week and bash liberals based on facts MSM did the work to uncover. These people don't have fact-checkers. They don't have editors. They don't have degrees in journalism, planes to take them to war zones, satellite feeds, experience working up from local news stations, or sources they cultivate in the White House. They don't have to worry about competing to get the story first, or even speaking proper English. SITTING THERE SEARCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS IS NOT "DOING RESEARCH"!

Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns. You can watch him lie on TV.

  1128. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. -Tried to sell the public snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, and those of the CDC and the COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would all just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing, instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  1130. That's a dilemma. If you quit, you might be replaced by someone bad. If you stay, you didn't stand up for your principles. With me, it comes down to the specific job and situation. This is why I'm glad Jeff Sessions didn't quit, and I am no fan of his.

  1131. Trump is the white Kanye - Narcissistic, crazy, and thinks he's a genius when actually he's dumb as dog shit.

  1132. I'm no big fan of hers, but SE Cupp made a good point about those who think putting up with Trump's cultural crap is "worth it" for a good economy. How low are we setting the bar? We have had plenty of Presidents who could handle the economy well without being assholes. Statistically, on average, the economy has been slightly be with Democrats in the White House. Despite what Trump says, this is NOT the best economy in history. He can't point to any specific policies that have contributed to it except for "confidence", which is mostly a stock market factor. The stock market is only a part of the economy, and what goes up must come down. Corporate tax breaks only stimulate short term, and those tax breaks put NO requirements on corporations to create jobs. Despite what he says, companies are NOT coming back from other countries or staying here because of his policies. It's all about the bottom line.

  1133. Painter Mike - The alternative is to put capable people in charge, not people who just want to lie and control the message. Of course quarantine is better than thoughts and prayers, moron.

  1134. Kris Frederick - That's natural. There would be something wrong if the country had extreme mood swings every four years. But that's not the case now. One party is VERY different from the other now. The Republican "conservatives" have become radicals who will never agree - not just on the solution to a problem - but that a problem exists at all. They have programmed themselves to never let Biden do or say anything, and I mean ANYTHING without calling it a disastrous mistake that threatens our very existence. And they're incredibly hypocritical. There is an easy way for them to test their own biases. Simply ask themselves, "If Trump did this, would I defend or condemn it?" Ask a Trump defender, "If Biden did it, would you still feel the same?" Then, listen to the crickets.

  1137.  @brasshound4442  - Blamed Trump out of hate? Damn straight we have REASONS to hate him. This is how he handled COVID: Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment.

  1139. There's so much that could be done to get rid of this damn virus within a month. We should stop trying to reopen everything ASAP. If we do, IT WILL KILL THE ECONONY ANYWAY. We have to think about this like a blizzard. Look at Canada. Look at the rest of the world. Why can't we just do what they did? - Close restaurants and bars, and send them financial aid. - Mass produce cheap masks and hand sanitizer, and hand them out at the door of every essential business. - How about "Quarantine Tuesday?" Pick one or two days a week when EVERYTHING is closed. - PSAs. Run commercials with a CONSISTENT message about the top 10 most important things to do, and educate people about what a virus actually is and how it spreads. - We can't have the President lying, working against these measures, holding mass rallies, and using a disease as a weapon in a culture war! - Cancel or postpone all sports, concerts and big events. It's not forever IT'S JUST FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SH1T HAPPENS. Quit acting like we're living in occupied Fallujah. By next year, there will be a vaccine.

  1140. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named as Individual 1 for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall.

  1144. The Republican party needs to split into two parties - the Libertarians and the Trumpians. Libertarians can cozy up to FOX News. Trumpians can have OANN and Newsmax. Or whatever. We just need a third party to end this hyper-tribalism and one-issue voting.

  1145. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  1151. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they do that?" It's because they don't consider them their own. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. He bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) To Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrant. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news"? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" He considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump betrays his own people. He is loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

  1152. Kevin S - They're Congresswomen. They're supposed to debate in sessions of Congress, where there's a moderator, a procedure, others included, and time to prepare to debate issues that have been brought to the floor. MTG doesn't get to just rudely blindside the "demon" the Republicans created and spout nonsense about socialism or whatever she decides should be debated to get sound bites for FOX News to throw into the nightly buzzword salad they serve to their ignorant viewers to give them something to love to hate.

  1153. Marco Polo - How did they use mail-in balloting to cheat?

  1154. I haven't heard even one person lay out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together.

  1158. Michael - What's "right before" depends on who you ask. Is 10 months too soon before an election for a POTUS to nominate a Supreme Court Justice, or is it three weeks? We have elections every two years. House members start literally on day one of their terms soliciting donations for the next one. They're all hyper-political, so it's always "right before" an election. Justice and national security aren't going to always wait to fit a politician's timeline. Not to mention that it was Trump himself who let the cat out of the bag.

  1163. It's disgusting for a president to say duly elected members of Congress hate their country, and to say they, or any American, should either refrain from criticism or leave. McConnell's wife came here as a child, just like Omar, but he says his wife is an example of the American dream, yet espouses Trump's rhetoric with Omar.

  1164. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  1168.  @Chris-hupe  When you spend a campaign openly buddying-up to a foreign adversary, asking them for dirt on your opponent, 16 of your people lie about their activities, and you fire the FBI Director over it, you get investigated.

  1174. Fitton the 3rd - A quick copy and paste from the very beginning of the New York Times' list: wasn't a fan of Iraq. I didn't want to go into Iraq.” (He was for an invasion before he was against it.) JAN. 21 “A reporter for Time magazine — and I have been on their cover 14 or 15 times. I think we have the all-time record in the history of Time magazine.” (Trump was on the cover 11 times and Nixon appeared 55 times.) JAN. 23 “Between 3 million and 5 million illegal votes caused me to lose the popular vote.” (There's no evidence of illegal voting.) JAN. 25 “Now, the audience was the biggest ever. But this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes. This crowd was massive.” (Official aerial photos show Obama's 2009 inauguration was much more heavily attended.) JAN. 25 “Take a look at the Pew reports (which show voter fraud.)” (The report never mentioned voter fraud.) JAN. 25 “You had millions of people that now aren't insured anymore.” (The real number is less than 1 million, according to the Urban Institute.) JAN. 25 “So, look, when President Obama was there two weeks ago making a speech, very nice speech. Two people were shot and killed during his speech. You can't have that.” (There were no gun homicide victims in Chicago that day.) JAN. 26 “We've taken in tens of thousands of people. We know nothing about them. They can say they vet them. They didn't vet them. They have no papers. How can you vet somebody when you don't know anything about them and you have no papers? How do you vet them? You can't.” (Vetting lasts up to two years.) JAN. 26 “I cut off hundreds of millions of dollars off one particular plane, hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time. It wasn't like I spent, like, weeks, hours, less than hours, and many, many hundreds of millions of dollars. And the plane's going to be better.” (Most of the cuts were already planned.) JAN. 28 “The coverage about me in the @nytimes and the @washingtonpost has been so false and angry that the Times actually apologized to its dwindling subscribers and readers.” (It never apologized.) JAN. 29 “The Cuban-Americans, I got 84 percent of that vote.” (There is no support for this.) JAN. 30 “Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage.” (At least 746 people were detained and processed, and the Delta outage happened two days later.) FEB. 3 “Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” (There is no evidence of paid protesters.) FEB. 4 “After being forced to apologize for its bad and inaccurate coverage of me after winning the election, the FAKE NEWS @nytimes is still lost!” (It never apologized.) FEB. 5 “We had 109 people out of hundreds of thousands of travelers and all we did was vet those people very, very carefully.” (About 60,000 people were affected.) FEB. 6 “I have already saved more than $700 million when I got involved in the negotiation on the F-35.” (Much of the price drop was projected before Trump took office.) FEB. 6 “It's gotten to a point where it is not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it.” (Terrorism has been reported on, often in detail.) FEB. 6 “The failing @nytimes was forced to apologize to its subscribers for the poor reporting it did on my election win. Now they are worse!” (It didn't apologize.)

Roger Stone wasn't reaching out to Wikileaks? Papadopoulos didn't suggest asking the Russians for help? Sure. The Democrats made them all do all of those things at gunpoint.

  1177. wreckin ball - Oh, please. Did Dems storm the Capitol? Did Dems ever make a blatant, concerted effort to launch a juvenile smear campaign against Republicans by repeatedly doing saying things that cause DEATH THREATS AND CAUSE THE FRINGE TO GET VIOLENT?? Your whataboutism is a fkn joke.

  1185. Beatnutz McGillacutty - Trump DID collude with the Russians. Don't take my word for it. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee came to that conclusion... And the Mueller probe lasted less than two years.

  1190. Trump WAS BEING xenophobic when he stopped SOME flights from China and did NOTHING ELSE to mitigate the disease and everything he could to help it spread. It was also in the beginning, when NOBODY knew how serious COVID would be. Remember his attempted Muslim ban? THAT, along with his record of extreme xenophobia, is why some said he was being xenophobic. HIS RECORD. Also, I suspect the right wing nuts think that by discrediting the government, the media, and the scientists, it gives them an excuse to IGNORE THE PROBLEM. Ever hear ANYONE with that mentality offer any SOLUTIONS to the problem? Sure, the things we know work - vaccines, masks, and distance - are all "assaults on our freedom". Okay, WHAT'S YOUR SOLUTION? Ignore it? Haven't even thought that much about it, have you? Just stick to the outrage and discontent, and you don't have to even try to be part of the solution. SMH.

  1191. "Why can't we just print more money?" - Donald Trump. It's funny how all of a sudden, once a Dem is in the White House, you're all worried about inflation. We're giving away doses that are about to expire that skeptics don't want.
    7
  1192. His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on their opponent. 16 Trump campaign associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Russia that required Kremlin approval - while he knew Russia was interfering in our election to help him win. ARE YOU SAYING THAT ISN'T REASON TO INVESTIGATE?? Oh, but any baseless, nonsensical conspiracy theory he throws out there should be investigated, right??
    7
  1193. Do you think Trump is working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? And ONLY Biden? Where there is not one shred of evidence of corruption? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help, you know, the biggest thing that has kept him in trouble from the start?
    7
  1194. A big reason the US can't get a grip on this pandemic that nobody talks about is that we are too CONSUMER DRIVEN. Watch TV. The ads all tell us to "Get back out there and spend!" They have to. No business in its right mind would passively let itself go broke. So where are the PSAs? Where are the TV spots telling us to wash our hands and wear masks? Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?
    7
  1195. I don't think "China people" is necessarily racist. It's just mind-bogglingly stupid. Nobody there said, "Uh, maybe you should phrase that differently"? Of course they did. This idiot said it ON PURPOSE.
    7
  1196. Everyone is out to get Donald Trump. Why? Because he keeps it real, and blue America can't handle that. Who was in on this election fraud? The DNC, Biden, Biden voters, all elected Democrats, many elected Republicans, legislators in 6 states, judges, mail carriers, poll workers, poll takers, pundits, Democrat and Republican Governors, Secretaries of State, the media, Dominion Software, Bill Barr, Chris Krebs and the federal agency in charge of election security, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... How did they do it? Counterfeit ballots, altered real ballots, throwing ballots in the river, miscounted ballots, fake registrations, illegal immigrants, muscling-out observers, cardboard on windows, double voting, dead people - including Hugo Chavez... Everyone was in on it on every level possible in every way. How did all of those people get away with it right under the noses of Trump supporters? The deep state is deep. Very deep. Or maybe he was simply an inept, dishonest President who never had simple majority support for one day, consistently polled way behind his opponent, spent his term insulting half the country, treated them as his enemy, botched the response to a major health crisis, and LOST.
    7
  1197. Dems have good ideas and policies, but they suck at messaging. Republicans have horrible ideas and policies, but they're great at messaging. RESTRUCTURING police departments is good. Chanting "DEFUND" is stupid. Dems say, "But 'defund' really means restructure." Then call it RESTRUCTURE! "Black lives matter really means all lives matter." Then call it ALL LIVES MATTER! Did they really think the right would NOT respond with, "What about white lives and blue lives? See. BLM members are the REAL racists!" Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you say "climate change", people tune out, but call it "pollution", and people listen. Pollution is a problem that demands practical discussion. The term, "climate change" has become a weapon in a culture war. You can't demand an immediate end to racism. You CAN demand an immediate end to policies conducive to police brutality. Police brutality should be the focus. Racism, brutality and pollution shouldn't even be left/right issues in the first place. So why have they become that way? Because it's a Republican tactic. Culture wars divide, and there is nothing Republicans want more. That's why they love Donald Trump and put up with his lies, ineptitude, corruption, and childish crap. It helps them politically.

  1203. Imagine if Donald Trump was Hillary Clinton, and she had won in 2016. We find out her top people, including her daughter, had met with foreign government surrogates to influence the election. Her campaign manager and personal attorney go to prison. Her new personal attorney winds up under investigation for conducting a shadow "foreign policy" by utilizing two reputed gangsters who wind up arrested at an airport with one way tickets to Vienna, and charged with felonies. Her top campaign aide turned National Security Advisor is fired and indicted in record time, and HIS assistant is indicted, and turns states' evidence. Another top campaign aide, a self-dubbed "dirty trickster", is convicted of lying to authorities about being in touch with the hackers AND disseminators of stolen information used as dirt in the campaign. A record number of her cabinet members are ousted in scandal...Imagine these are only things pertaining to the corruption of her top people, never mind the ocean of lies and questionable things that she, herself, had done while in office. Trumpers, what would you have to say about that?

    7
  1206. - 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.

  1207. I heard Trump is going to get a White House pet - an alligator.

  1212. J W - There was clearly zero politics in what he said, and Gaetz was clearly motivated by partisan politics.
    7
  1213. Does the term, "SELF DEFEATING" mean anything anymore? Republicans got worked-up about saving the economy and fought against COVID safety measures. Now, the pandemic is worse than ever in the US. We still can't reopen, so the economy is still threatened while the rest of the world is getting over this. Great job! Protesters got worked-up about demanding everything immediately, demanded to "defund police", and lumped cases of true, racist police brutality with those in gray areas. They demanded everything with even a hint of racism be destroyed without debate. Great job! Now, all they've done is play into the culture war, galvanized the cops' attitude that it's "us vs. them," and insured protesters will be villified. Sick of career politicians? Elect a president with no experience whatsoever. Sick of runaway capitalism? Support Bernie Sanders, the far-left socialist. Everything, right down to our very existence and evolution on planet Earth is due to BALANCE. If you've had enough of racist police brutality, focus on POLICE BRUTALITY, not boxes of Uncle Ben's or 25 year old sitcoms. If you want to deal with a pandemic, balance BOTH health AND economics. Whether you are on the left or the right, EXTREMISM DOESN'T WORK!
    7
  1214. Johnson actually tried to make the "a few bad apples" argument. Did he say that about the BLM riots, where 93% of the protests were peaceful and 1% of the remaining 7% rioted? Armed means firearms? How does he have the nerve to gaslight like that?? This is shameful.
    7
  1215. Well, my prediction was that Bevin would not accept the results. Looks like I was right.

  1216. Racists and Russian trolls would dislike this.

  1217. The sheriff is right. Brooks took the cop's tazer (and fired it at him). Imagine if he had incapacitated the cop, taken his gun, and shot the other cop. He already proved he would grab a cop's weapon and use it on him. He was erratic enough to fight and run - abandoning his car - over a DUI that he deserved. There are many cases of police brutality, but this is NOT one of them.
    7
  1218. Republicans simply won't take "no" for an answer, and won't accept facts. - The 2020 election was not stolen, as EVERY POSSIBLE arbiter and authority concluded. Be HAPPY that it was secure. - January 6th was an armed riot, but Sen. Johnson said, "Armed means firearms." Seriously, Ron? He tried to say it was mostly peaceful protesters. I'm sure he said the same thing about the BLM protests, right? There were over 1000 rioters INSIDE the Capitol, and they wasted zero time before they stormed the gates. - No reasonable prosecutor would bring a criminal case against Clinton over her emails. It's not enough that it cost her the election? Trump's people did the same thing as Clinton. Let it go. - 9 Benghazi hearings. NINE. Terrorists (in an unstable country) killed four Americans in a government building. Mistakes were made in a chaotic situation. Nobody defended the terrorist leaders who inspired them. Not the case with Trump after January 6th. - There's a negligible number of Communists in the US. the most hyper-Capitalist nation on Earth. Joe Biden is not trying to import Communism from China or Cuba. Let it go. - There is only 20% support for repeal of the 2nd Amendment. If Republicans think that's a threat, ask Beto O'Rourke how his presidential bid went. The feds will NEVER confiscate guns. Republicans, be HAPPY about that. - Republicans censured their own for not voting to acquit Trump. "Vote our way or else." What do they think a VOTE is? Democracy, North Korea style. - When a foreign country attacks an election, you investigate, and don't rule out the possibility that the beneficiary might be involved when that candidate LIED about it repeatedly and PRAISED the attackers! Trump wasn't charged. So, what was wrong with investigating?! And Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He did say there was no deliberate conspiracy. Be HAPPY about that. - The media don't work for the DNC. Even if their opinions are stupid, the analysis is off-base, and the story is sensationalized to an obnoxious degree, the FACTS are almost always accurate, just like the FACTS in regard to the Russia scandal were accurate. - Officials often speak on condition of anonymity. That DOESN'T mean the press lied, and I've NEVER heard of a case where they did. There are consequences for that. - There's nothing suspicious about Obama, on a hot mic, telling a Russian that he'll have "more flexibility after the election." Nothing whatsoever. - "The cages were built under Obama." Yes, but the policies were in no way comparable.

  1226. I just watched 25 minutes of Tucker Carlson Tonight. What the fuck did I just watch? I made a deliberate effort to watch it, with no distractions and an open mind. Is it supposed to be... satire without the jokes? Seriously, what the fuck? I've tried to watch Sean Hannity. I usually make it, like, three minutes, before I say, "What the fuck are you even TALKING about?" So, I thought, "Maybe I'm not giving it a chance. Maybe CNN and MSNBC are 'fake news'". I gave Tucker Carlson 25 minutes of my open mind. Now, I'm just wondering why anyone would put that shit on the air without jokes. Is he trying to be ironic? Maybe I'm too dumb to get it. Do Trump fans get this shit? Is FOX News serious? Normally, I'd dismiss that crap as obnoxious bullshit and change the channel, but Carlson was saying the same things Tump idiots say - One-way talking. Obnoxious. Incoherent. Skipping from one subject to the next. Devoid of any facts whatsoever, and racist as hell. I mean, my God, the racism! Why? The topic, or topics - Carlson couldn't stick to a topic - had anything to do with race, yet everything he said was somehow an accusation that liberals are racists. Are you supposed to be high when you watch it, like Pink Floyd's, "The Wall"? Because "The Wall" is cool even if you're not high. I wouldn't even care, except it sounds like those same talking points put Trump in the White House. Our President talks to Sean Hannity on a regular basis. They say Hannity practically has a desk in the West Wing... My point? I...don't...remember. I think that fucko, Tucker Carson, stole an important part of my brain through my TV. Kids, don't do FOX News, it'll fuck-up your brain worse than crack. Covfefe.

  1228. Nogive Nogets CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  1231. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who hasn't condemned Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump is promoting the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

He lied about his compensation and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

Picking a name from a list of Supreme Court nominees made by a far-right organization is not an accomplishment! It would have been harder to NOT do it. Low unemployment is a trend started by Obama. The media would love to balance his bad with some good. There is no good, plain and simple.

Trump's top people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump still refuses to admit Russia even interfered, and he's still doing all he can to lift sanctions imposed on them for that very interference. In 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to interfere, and after all of the problems that caused, he is doing it AGAIN.

They don't want to stand up to North Korea or Russia anymore, but they'll gladly support Trump if he starts a war with Iran or Venezuela. And what short memories. Now, we have conservatives saying, "The liberal media was pushing for the Iraq war." What? Are they too young to remember or just trying to revise history? As for free speech, they're quick to condemn criticism of their own as "hate speech", but have no problem with Trump trashing the American free press in the presence of journalist killers like MBS, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin. Ignorant, tribal, hypocritical double standards. They're simply anti-liberal, no matter what the facts are. Just remember, Trump was for the Iraq war before he was against it, and he says we should have TAKEN THEIR OIL. And remember, Trump is the habitual liar who paid for fake polls and spent his life planting stories in the tabloids. "Fake news" is his specialty.

  1257. 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.

  1263. El mero mero - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  1273. You people who say "Didn't polls say Hillary was going to win?" are the BIGGEST IDIOTS on the planet. NO. Polls did NOT say that. A poll is not a prediction of an outcome. It is a percent chance of an outcome. It's absurd! Think lottery. Think weather report. Think horse racing. It's called a long shot! And those polls WERE ACCURATE! First of all, the numbers reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won. Second, they were within the margin of error. Third, ALL POLLS - CNN, FOX, Gallup... ALL were roughly the same. Do people really think ALL of these polls putting Trump around 37% are off by, what, 30 points?!?! Fourth, do any of you Trump fools think maybe the fact Trump won despite the odds may be an indicator of Russian involvemea? ... And fifth, what even would be the POINT of faking a poll? To look inaccurate in the end? Do you people think people just want to be on the winning side so much they will only vote for the most popular candidate? It doesn't make sense! And wouldn't CNN, if they were faking it, want to LOWER the number so people wouldn't think it was already a lock and NOT VOTE? Trump defenders have no common sense!

The Charlottsville attacker was a right-winger. So was the "pizzagate" shooter. The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wing fringe groups. Hate crimes by right wing groups are sharply on the rise since Trump took office. 78% of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by white supremacists. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. I'm not saying both sides don't have fringe elements. But it is RIDICULOUS for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.

  1280. TRUMP MUST GO, and his whole cult following needs to be psychologically de-programmed. I watch the news and feel like I'm in the fucking Twilight Zone. 1)- FOX News is saying CNN lied because Michael Cohen's lawyer, ON CNN, backed off a previous statement about what Cohen knows about the Trump Tower meeting. It's a walk back, but let's call it a lie for argument's sake, because that doesn't matter. He lied ON CNN. CNN didn't lie. People go on the news and lie all the time. Since when the hell did we start blaming news outlets for that? (By the way, it's very possible he just said too much, and he's backing off because he's screwing up Cohen's chances for a plea deal. But that's beside the point). 2)- Trump recently tweeted, "Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia" in the interview where he said he was thinking of the Trump/"Rusher" thing when he fired Comey. Why he fired him, and if it's obstruction, is irrelevant. TRUMP NOW SAYS THE REPORT IS LITERALLY FAKED, and we can't believe what came right out of his mouth - 15 MONTHS AGO! Lester Holt got CAUGHT? By who? How? When? The video isn't altered, and Holt was never "caught" altering it! I feel compelled to ask the rhetorical question - Who the fuck would wait 15 months to say that? By the way, video production is someone else's job. I also feel compelled to point out that he's done this before. Long after he ADMITTED to saying, "Grab 'em by the pussy" in the Access Hollywood tape, he told some Senators he thought the tape was fake. 3)- Trump says Google is biased against conservatives. He wants an investigation! IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. Google's algorithms learn by users TELLING IT what they are trying to find, not the other way around. It goes by popular trends and users' search history, so if you think most major news sites are liberal, you're likely to get a liberal site BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Who searches "Trump news" anyway? If you think CNN lies, do you think you'll get the truth from no-name sites run by people who don't have fact checkers and inside sources? Find sites you trust, and go directly to them. An investigation? Google denies it. All that's left is to call a tech guy to confirm it. Trump should have done that before making baseless accusations. And why the does he think Google is out to get him? He's so narcissistic he can't see he isn't the focus of everybody's attention 24/7. 4)- Trump says China hacked Hillary Clinton's email server - the private server she used over 6 years ago. The one that was already investigated. The one she used for the emails that TRUMP HIMSELF ASKED THE RUSSIANS TO FIND. His own intelligence agencies said his claim is false, but he repeated the lie at an Indiana rally. How many people, companies, and agencies does Trump have to say are out to get him before his followers realize he is a paranoid narcissist? HE LITERALLY THINKS THE CIA IS OUT TO GET HIM. THAT'S WHAT PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS SAY! How many people does he have to say is lying about him before his followers think, maybe HE is the one who is lying. He is CLEARLY scared shitless about an Obstruction of Justice charge. How much more like a guilty person does he have to act before they think, just maybe, he is guilty? He calls the free press the ENEMY of the people! A nutjob in California was just arrested for making over a dozen death threats to a newspaper. He used that "Enemy of the people" phrase. He had 20 guns in his home. These Trump cultists need to WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

  1287.  @wasdwasdedsf  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  1294. 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.
    7
  1295. Obama never illegally used a "spy" in the Trump camp. The Trump camp, however, tried (possibly succeeded) in using Russian spies to sink the Clinton campaign. IF the DOJ and/or US intelligence ever used informants, wiretaps, etc. to look into Trump's campaign, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING! It would have meant that there was reason to believe they were working with the Russians to undermine our election and steal power, nimrods! There is a process. There are judges who issue those warrants. But let me guess - the judges were "deep state operatives"? That's ridiculous, ignorant, and paranoid. All of those people, no matter what political views, from non-political agencies, all in the service of electing Hillary Clinton - a candidate even liberals weren't crazy about?? Yeah, the "deep state" is all liberal. That's why the conservatives are in power half the time. They're so powerful, yet they couldn't stop an unpopular, inexperienced, controversial guy like Trump from getting elected. The all-powerful "deep state" couldn't rig the election successfully? Dig up any more on him BEFORE the election than a tape about grabbing pussy? Couldn't pull off this conspiracy without defeating their own purpose by leaking their own party's emails? Comey, the guy who ended up HELPING TRUMP WIN, was all in for Clinton?

And they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only those on Biden's side did this. None were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!?

I'll never understand how an idiot like that duped 100 million people into thinking he is God's gift to the world.

  1313. 1)- Only 51 votes were needed to avoid a shutdown without any new spending. 2)- 5 Dems crossed over, and 4 Republicans crossed over - That destroys the argument that it was all the Dems fault. 3)- Trump rescinded DACA on his own, and said the reason was only because it was by executive order and not legislated through Congress. He could have asked Congress to pass it as it was, problem solved. He CLEARLY took DACA hostage to use it as leverage. 4)- Trump could have ended DACA, but grandfathered-in those who were ALREADY in the program, and let them stay. (Mr. "Art of the Deal" doesn't know rule #1 of deal making - DON'T BREAK A DEAL!) There would have been very little Democratic resistance to that. 5)- "They have until March 5th. No hurry". Really? If you were suddenly told you today that you have six weeks to move or be evicted, would you think, "No sweat"? How about if that meant, not only having to find a new place, but to find one IN A STRANGE COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN? You're in college. You don't speak the language, know nothing about the culture, the city, etc., and you have to get a truck, find a home, maybe find a storage unit in Guatemala! 6)- McConnell himself said he couldn't even figure out what Trump wants. 7)- A deal was all but done before Trump made the most racist, insulting statement any president has made since the Civil Rights Movement. "How is putting America first racist"? Give me a break! I'd say it's politics 101 that you don't say things like that, but it wouldn't even have to be put in the fucking 101 textbook. - And Trump contradicted himself saying it was because he wanted "merit based" immigration. It is CLEARLY based on nationality to say "take them (Haitians) out", and to say you don't want to even look at the merits of Haitians and Africans! Duh. 8)- Trump said he would sign whatever the people in that meeting came up with, then flip-flopped and demanded funding for a wall he still says he wants Mexico to pay for and won't even say how Mexico will reasonably reimburse us. Holy shit, go try to get a loan from a bank talking like that, and see where it gets you! "How will I pay back this huge loan? Well, this dude, Frank owes me a bunch of money. He says he doesn't, and he really doesn't, but I have ways to nickel and dime it out of him to make my payments to you".!?!?

  1315. Crystal Giddens - The stock market started rising way before Trump took office. Look at a graph. But that's actually surprising to me. I expected it to do well. Know why? Because he is gutting Wall Street regulations put in place after 2008 designed to prevent another crash. And Trump said Clinton was too cozy with Wall Street! Take a look at the backgrounds of his cabinet members. Wall Street is highly represented.... The unemployment rate has dropped very little under Trump. It was cut IN HALF, from around 10% to around 5%, where it is now, under Obama....... Trump had little to do with decimating ISIS. The invasion of Raqqa was planned during the Obama administration. Mosul was planned and executed under Obama, and Trump wouldn't shut up about how they shouldn't have announced it first. You know, he "knows more than the generals", and seems to think the Iraqi and US forces are ninjas. You can't sneak in, for many reasons. By the way, Trump ceded a lot of the decision making to the military commanders. He is less involved in military affairs than Obama...... And how the hell is nominating a Supreme Court Justice such a big accomplishment? Trump doesn't know a thing about the judiciary. He picked a name from a list! A list made by a far right group. Republicans blocked Obama's nominee for a year with a bullshit excuse. It would have been much harder for Trump to NOT nominate a Justice! Remember Trumpers - You are entitled to your own crazy fantasies. You are not entitled to your own facts, no matter what Kellyanne Conway says. Thanks, Obama! Props to the Generals!....... But I will give him credit for dropping the illegal immigration rate, (although he is being a major dick about it), so why do we need a fucking wall?

  1317. Jose Villasenor - One CNN employee gave Hillary one question in a primary debate, and she was fired over it. Donald Trump coordinates with FOX News. You really want to go there?

  1318. Sherron Mitchell - When someone uses the "It's ridiculous" defense, it's one of two things. Either it's truly, absurdly ridiculous, or it's extremely not ridiculous at all. Obviously, Trump and his defenders are in the latter category. What's ridiculous is that they're saying it's ridiculous, as if it's crazy to even ask questions or have concerns about this.

  1320. They say a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. That's why Trump, and previous presidents fear being subpoenaed to testify before one.

  1321. National Security Adviser to both the Trump campaign and the White House, Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort's partner, Rick Gates, and campaign Security Adviser, George Papadopoulos have all pleaded guilty to felonies. All three are cooperating with Mueller. Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 felonies, is seeking a plea deal with Mueller, has another impending trial, and a possible retrial on 10 more felony counts. Paul Manafort ally, Sam Patton has pleaded guilty to foreign lobbying charges and is cooperating. Trump lawyer and "fixer", Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty to felonies, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator, and is seeking a plea deal. National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker was granted immunity. Trump Organization CFO, Alan Weiselburg was also granted immunity. Over a dozen Russians tied to Putin have been indicted. The Trump Foundation is under investigation. Donald Trump, Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump are all named in a lawsuit. White House lawyer, Don McGahn spoke to Mueller for 30 hours. Hope Hicks, Sam Nunberg, and a dozen or so more Trump associates and current and former White House staffers have spoken to Mueller. Roger Stone is predicting his own indictment. Carter Page, Donald Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner are under clouds of suspicion about collusion with the Russians. The wolves are gathering.

  1323. As an actor who has done comedy (crappy comedy), Smith should know that comedians have to approach the line to be truly good, so we should cut them some slack if they cross it. In this "cancel culture" we need edgy comedians now more than ever.

  1324. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, to the mob on 1.6.21. But I'm sure Trump said to Rudy when he got off stage, "Not cool, Rudy. We want this to be peaceful." Right?
    7
  1325. Duke - Misguided? For four years, Trump tried to convince us liberals were evil. If conservatives thought libs were simply misguided, they'd try to guide them and keep them in the fold. No, they dismiss us as crooked and rotten - not just the Dem politicians, but the Dem voters. Doubt that? They accuse poll workers, mail carriers, and individual voters of being in on all of that "voter fraud" as if we're so crazy we'd all commit felonies and use deceased love ones just to vote twice. Conservative voters were purposely misguided by unscrupulous conservative politicians who know better. If it didn't affect us all, I would wish Republicans could have the authoritarian, bigoted, ineffective, damaging government they THINK they want. I wish we could give them a state, build a big wall around it. Unlike with Mexico, I'd be willing to pay for it. We'd watch them screw it up and have nobody to blame but themselves.

  1326. YoYO Semite - That's not how defamation lawsuits work, and are you kidding? Evidence? Our ears and eyes. Trump has lied over 12,000 times since taking office.

  1327. - Imagine Joe Biden's lawyer telling an angry mob to march to the Capitol and have a trial by combat. - Imagine Barack Obama siding with Putin over the CIA in front of the world, then trying to say he actually meant the opposite. - Imagine Chelsae Clinton, her husband, and John Podesta being caught meeting with Chinese intelligence officers in 2016 to trade illegally obtained information on Trump for sanction relief. - Imagine Barack Obama lying about a pandemic that had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. - Imagine what happened in 2000 happened in 2020. Trump wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral college by 500 votes in one state where Biden's brother is the governor. Now imagine, in that scenario, that the Republicans control the House and Senate. - Imagine, as it was in 1998, that the Special Council investigating Trump was a member of the opposing party. - Imagine Hillary Clinton on an audio recording telling someone she can grab men by the junk because she's a star. - Imagine Joe Biden destroying interpreter notes from a meeting with the Chinese President and instructing the attendees not to talk about it with White House staff. - Imagine Barack Obama's personal lawyer, two campaign managers, campaign "dirty trickster", National Security Advisor, campaign Security Advisor, and inauguration manager being convicted of felonies. Imagine he also set a record for cabinet members and staff leaving in scandal. - Imagine Obama's charity being shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality." I could go on and on for hours with things like this right off the top of my head. The MAGA crowd KNOWS how they would feel if any of the above had happened.

  1330. An idea for a series Democrat of attack ads: Show real footage of Trump saying the fv<ked up things that he has said, but replace his face and voice with Hillary and Obama's. I'd love to see Hillary recreate the Helsinki summit or one of Trump's unhinged, incoherent press conferences. How about if Obama started re-tweeting Trump?

  1331. The Columbine kids had good parents. So did the two 14 year old girls who killed their also 14 year old best friend. Some kids are just rotten no matter how they're raised. That style of rifle is marketed to the unstable, and nobody needs magazines that hold dozens of rounds of organ-shredding bullets. Want to hunt? Buy a normal hunting rifle. Want to protect your home? Get a pistol or a shotgun. We had an assault weapons ban before, and the gun companies didn't go bankrupt. So what's the problem? We can't even discontinue one style of rifle? It's insane.

  1332. The testimony by the head of Fusion GPS has been released. One if the things they ask of their clients is that the clients don't tell them what to do, including where to get their info. from. So, even if Fusion GPS engaged in some illegal gathering of information, it would be on them not Clinton. And common sense - Why would you pay someone for fake opposition research? If they just wanted to make shit up, they could do it themselves for free. And why didn't they actually USE this info during the campaign? Duh. Steele gathered the information, and gave it to the FBI, not Clinton. It went way beyond normal political dirt. BTW, do you think Clinton made Don Jr have that meeting and lie about it? Papadopoulos? Made 9 Trump associates lie about Russian contacts? Made Trump ask Russia to find Clinton's emails? Think, McFly. Are you people really that dumb?

  1333. Dittzx - Exactly. All of their efforts are self-defeating.
    7
  1334. After all of Pence's loyalty, all it took for Trump to sick a mob on him was his refusal to do something that was literally impossible. This reminds me of The Simpsons when Mr. Burns loses his mind and orders Smithers to board a small, model plane at gunpoint. Trump doesn't care if something is literally impossible. If you don't do it for him, you have betrayed him.

  1336. Joe Masse - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  1337. Lets hope this sets (or reaffirms) a precedent. There are lots of people in Trump's orbit who have some explaining to do.

  1338. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  1339. Trump reminds me of Phillip Green from the movie, Casino. Joe Pesci's character describes him as "the perfect frontman. He don't know too much."

  1340. Liberals outnumber conservatives, but Republicans refuse to try to win liberals over. They win by suppressing Dem votes and turning out their base through division. So, even when they win, they don't get new voters. They keep repeating the strategy, as there's always an election around the corner. Doubt that? Look at Trump, who treated half the country as an enemy. They can't let him go no matter how much trouble he caused them. Didn't they get exhausted? Look at Black voters. Republicans only get about 10% of their vote, and winning them over is always too big of a mountain to climb in under two years. The solution is right in front of them, but they won't look past their noses. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular. A minimum wage hike, health care reform, pot legalization, COVID mitigation, racial justice, sensible gun control, and addressing climate change are all favored by a SOLID majority of the electorate. Republicans ignore and/or deny ALL of those issues. Republicans need to worry more about DOING the job than KEEPING the job. They cry "election security," but why is it that every security measure they propose just happens to be the something that hinders liberal turnout? They can't even be bipartisan about a probe into what went wrong at the Capitol! It's INSANE to demand that an investigation focus on "left wing extremists." WHAT left wing extremists?? Antifa is nothing but about 50 unorganized people who have no support, and were not at the Capitol riot. BLM is NOT an extremist group. Do Republicans really want to demonize a group that demonstrates against systemic racism? Yeah, that will help get Black votes and end the stereotype that Republicans are racist! I hope they DO look into BLM, SEPARATELY, to show the difference between them and a coup attempt based on lies, executed by The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, Confederate dead-enders, and a half-dozen white supremacist groups who were decidedly partisan and encouraged by a majority of the Republican Congress and the President himself. I thought Republicans called theirs the "party of ideas"? Well, make with the ideas. Failing that, they could learn to agree with Dems about what the PROBLEMS are and argue over the SOLUTIONS. What are the problems? Public opinion is clear on that. They're the wealth gap, minimum wage, health care, marijuana, COVID, racism, gun control, and climate change. They're NOT communism, threats to the 2nd Amendment, left-wing extremism, sanctuary cities, or gay rights. And there is equal blame on BOTH SIDES for "cancel culture" and outsourcing jobs overseas, so don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

  1341. MOB RULE - You're a fucking idiot.

  1342. Bb Sal - Are you fkking kidding? How do you have the nerve to say Maxine Waters incited violence after Trump and his "trial by combat" Jeez, you would think at least a few of you would know not to throw stones when you live in a glass house!
    7
  1343. BB Sal - Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  1344. What do gun control, health care, and COVID 19 have in common? They're all problems that the rest of the world has gotten a grip on, and the US refuses to learn from.
    7
  1345. J - Hillary conceded. Trump's people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on her for sanction relief. She had reason to feel cheated. She won the popular vote by 3 million votes, and Trump said the popular vote was stolen from her because 3 million (where'd he get that number?) illegals supposedly voted in California - a state Clinton was already sure to win! Yeah, that makes sense. Trump played you for suckers because you are if you believe his nonsense.
    7
  1346. Brian Jones - Has Putin made you employee of the month yet?

  1347. In a bizarre interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump launched into a tale about liberal cities being overrun with filth, and how people are pissing in the streets and making the cops ill. He made a point to say it was worse in sanctuary cities, and said it started two years ago. He said he is looking into it very seriously, (But he's not looking into abhorrent conditions in border facilities). He said that it hurts our country because it looks bad to foreign dignitaries. As usual, he used fragmented sentences, endless tangents, and vagaries. What the hell?? HIS BASE SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS?? It was his own words with a FOX News host, but, no doubt, his followers will say it's the media making him look bad! Time to look seriously at the 25th Amendment. He is the PRESIDENT, and he talks like that all the time! We are living in the bizarro world, folks.

    7
  1352. Make two lists - 1)- Ways to improve election security, and 2)- Ways to suppress votes. Then compare them to what Republicans are doing. It's crystal clear what they're doing. It's a vicious cycle. The less popular support they have, the more they try to suppress. There's always an election around the corner, so they never want to risk losing by trying "radical" ideas like actually reaching out to voters when they can use the tried-and-true method of suppressing liberal votes - which means specifically targeting minorities who live in urban areas, which tend to vote Democrat. They might win that way, but they're still outnumbered, so they keep suppressing votes.
    7
  1353. Todd McKintyre - And they use that line all the time. Then it's, "So, what's the harm in looking into it?" Uh, sure. So, what was the harm of looking into Trump's ties to Russia after he and all of his people lied about their dealings? To them, it was "treason" to ask questions.

  1358. RogerM - There were guns, bombs, and probably a bigger variety of weapons I've ever heard of at a conflict. DC law bans guns in public in the district. Trump and Giuliani hired extra security (Hmm, why?) for that "love fest" from AMONG THE INSURRECTIONISTS who said they had a "Quick response team" with guns right outside the city limits. The Capitol riots came very close to being referred to as "the Capitol massacre."
    7
  1359. Trump didn't know Great Britain had the bomb. He thought we could nuke hurricanes. He thought you could shine a flashlight up your butt and kill COVID 19. He didn't know Finland wasn't part of Russia. He thought Republicans didn't know Lincoln was a Republican...THIS MAN GOT ELECTED PRESIDENT??

Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  1367. Joe Moer - What e hell are you talking about? They haven't reported on it because it's NEWS, and there haven't been any new developments. No, it wasn't a hoax. It was an investigation predicated on an ABUNDANCE of reasonable suspicion. It kills me how you people who say it was a hoax are ALWAYS silent when I point out the uncontested facts that Trump publicly asked for their interference, 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts, his people met with them in New York to trade dirt fit sanction relief, Roger Stone bragged about contacting hackers and the disseminators of the hacked DNC emails, Popadopoulis reached out to them, Trump lied about persuing a real estate deal in Moscow while he knew they were attacking our election...I could go on. Don't give me that "hoax" bullshit. If Clinton had done that, the right would have demanded her head on a pike, and you know it.

  1370. People forget that the Mueller probe is about finding out what the Russians did and how to prevent it in the future. If it leads back to the Trump campaign, it is what it is. If Trump stopped the probe, the very next question on everyones' mind would be, "So... What are we doing about the Russians?" This doesn't go away. If Trump can't cooperate, never mind as a target, but as a WITNESS, then it begs the question - Shouldn't he WANT to know if someone in his camp was screwing around with the Russian government?

Now I think we need to land the plane and replace the right wing before we crash and burn.

  1376. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  1377. P Le - Trump University, LOL. Can you believe a man who spells like a 4th grader founded a "university"? Fun Fact: Trump bribed Florida AG, Pam Bondi with a $25,000 CHECK written from the Trump Foundation charity that he used for a slush fund. He wouldn't even pay bribes with his own money, and he used a check!

  1382. 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.

"Oh, you just hate him". Yeah, there's a REASON for that. Grow up.

  1395. Suzanne Nelson - Trump is a bigot. His niece and personal lawyer have said so. He ordered Federal law enforcement to end racial insensitivity training. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. He said every black leader of a country runs a shithole. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He has had two overtly racist advisors. He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.

  1402. The FBI is not political. They're cops. Many started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They want to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were probing two unpopular candidates - both for good reason. The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Is it a stretch to think FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump voters? Why would they be so in love with Hillary? She had high negatives. The same goes for CIA analysts, who couldn't care less about politics when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the DNC. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat. It's absurd.

  1409. I wonder what they found in Cohen's office. Just musing here, but what if they found half a kilo of coke in a desk drawer? Maybe some scales? A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession. Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police". He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us? Trump is using the OJ Simpson defense - "You can't PROVE I DID IT because the lead detective was a racist and I'm black". I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

  1411. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up.

  1425. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  1426. Republicans censured Liz Cheney for voting to impeach Trump. They basically said that, even though House Republicans were being asked to vote one of two ways, they had to vote one way or else they'd be in trouble. Is there anything less democratic than that? That's what they do in Russia and North Korea. They have elections, but voters have to vote one way or else. Do Republicans really not understand that?

The first time I heard actual Democrat politicians using the phrase, "defund the police" I criticized it as an incredibly stupid thing to say.

He really didn't know that would end his political career? Dems SUCK at messaging!

  1432. If he doesn't want to look bad, he should cover his whole face. Fun fact: Trump has a "rider" of sorts, where he demands two full, and one half-full jar of makeup on his dresser at all times, like he's in Van Halen or something.

  1438. Respect the flag and the police unless you use the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a Judge's ruling. Life is sacred unless it's born. Then, use health care and a pandemic as political footballs. China's lies about COVID were terrible. A US President lied about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain COVID when it surprised them, but let it infect your family at home when you had distant, early warning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive, but ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. No cancel culture, unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year unless it's a few weeks before the election. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you talk about Trump, you love to hate him. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using COVID as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  1439. Do you Trump defenders hear themselves?? It's one thing to argue the facts. It's another to ignore facts, say "Oh, you just hate him", gaslight, and pretend we don't have VALID suspicions. But it's yet another thing to be HYPOCRITICAL about it! You know damn well that if it was Hillary Clinton, you would be outraged. You would be twice as outraged. Trump's behavior is NOT normal. You may say that's what you like about him, but don't act like that abnormality shouldn't be met with resistance. Imagine an airline pilot, after takeoff, announced, "I'll be letting my 14 year old son fly the plane today. He has no training. He's been drinking all day, but the kid's really good at piloting". Then, when you protest, he he says, "Oh, quit your bitching. He's never crashed before". With the Russia probe, people tend to assume Trump, himself, is the "biggest fish", but really, he is the second biggest. Putin is the biggest fish. The Russians attacked our election. The feds and the intelligence people would have been neglecting their duties if they DIDN'T investigate this. The reason we had to get a Special Council is because Trump refused to realize this. You can argue that Trump is innocent, but you cannot say he hasn't been acting the way guilty people act. Trump and SIXTEEN of his associates lied about 101 denied Russian contacts. That is a FACT, and NONE have offered a reasonable explanation. Cut the crap with that "witch hunt" and "fake news" BS! You can't even say, if the media didn't, technically LIE, then they're "biased". You lost that angle when Trump co-opted FOX News as a virtual PR arm of the government. ALL MSM run the same top stories because they are newsworthy. Do you think British BBC works for the DNC? Do you think partly government funded PBS is biased? Do you think Republicans - who who were FULLY in charge for the first 2 years - wouldn't raise hell if they thought these stories were skewed against Trump? You can have your own opinions, but not your own facts. Didn't Trump run as an outsider and a rebel? Then what the hell did he expect?? Even if you don't like how the FREE press reports FACTS, it is necessary for an informed citizenry, which is crucial to democracy. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You can't focus on CNN, and ignore that ALL of these outlets report the SAME FACTS. You can't act like every piece of suspicious behavior has to be a "smoking gun" or else it is has no merit. There is a HUGE circumstantial case here. Furthermore, if Mueller totally absolves Trump, but proves half his staff colluded with Russia, you cannot say, "See, it was a witch hunt".

  1445. Don - "Officer, my money was stolen." Cop - "Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think that?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out, and they don't even know each other." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

Real Talk - About twenty other people have corroborated Bolton's assertion, including Trump's Chief of Staff, Pences assistant, and Trump's handpicked ambassador to the EU, (who he transferred to Ukraine for some reason, while removing the 30 year veteran Ukraine ambassador whose job it was to monitor corruption in Ukraine).

  1452. 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.

  1453. Colin Faust - Rebuffed? Where the hell did you hear that? Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign manager met with them to trade dirt for sanction relief! Roger Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and Assange! Popadopoulos suggested a meeting. Kushner worked on lifting their sanctions...
    6
  1454. 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.

  1455. jack daniels - Here's a small sample: - Trump solicited foreign government assistance in a US election, which is a crime. He did that with Russia, China, and Ukraine. He insists it's okay. He calls it "oppo research"...if he does it. If a Democrat hires an actual oppo research firm, he calls it treason. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction of justice. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics. - Bill Clinton was impeached over one lie about his personal life. He lied under oath, but Donald Trump refuses to go under oath, and he has lied over 13,000 times in 3 years. Compare that to Barack Obama lying 148 times in 8 years. Do the math. Is that acceptable? A president doesn't have to commit a crime to be impeached. Trump's 19,000+ Lies (To put it in perspective, by the same standard, Obama lied 143 times in 8 years). https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/01/president-trump-made-19127-false-or-misleading-claims-1226-days/%3foutputType=amp

  1456. Zotan Inoron - Politicians pandering to racists is even worse than being persinally racist. They set policy. I'm more worried about a closet racist with power than some loud-mouthed klansman who is proud if it. It's like saying, "I'm not racist. I just let the klan hold its meetings at my house".
    6
  1457. In a perfect world, Yates, Comey, and McCabe would be offered their jobs back, and Trump would have to give statements to Mueller. Then, they could waterboard him if he commits perjury since he insists on transparency. Hey, he says he knows it works. When he complains, they can say, "Quit bitching. You said it wasn't that bad"

  1458. Trump has the support of 55% of Republicans in the top 6 projected contenders. He never broke 50% approval among all voters. He lost the popular vote twice. The electorate is projected to become more liberal and diverse over the next 4 years as he'll surely have civil, if not criminal troubles. That's the basket Republicans want to put all of their rotten eggs in?

  1467. kelperdude - Did this bother you then..? - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  1470. Before Trump was elected, I didn't like him. I knew he was a liar, but when he was elected, I didn't think he would lie 20,000 times in under 4 years. I thought he exchanged winks and a nods with Putin, but not that he was flat-out colluding, complete with transactions, meetings and operatives. Now I know he did. I thought he was a narcissist, but not nearly this bad. I thought he was a little racist, but more of an elitist, and indifferent towards minorities. Now, he's shown he's a full-blown racist bigot, and it drives his policy-making. I thought he hid his tax returns because he didn't want us to know he wasn't as rich as he said. I thought maybe he cheated a little on his taxes. Now, I think he's a major criminal, and those returns are his kryptonite. I knew he cheated on his wives. I thought he was like a frat boy towards women. Now I strongly suspect he's a sexual deviant and a date rapist - statutory and otherwise. I knew he was cold-blooded and into revenge, but didn't think he was a sociopath. Now, I see he has a clinical lack of empathy and sympathy. He is a crazy degree of vengeful. I thought there were lines he wouldn't cross. Now, I think he would literally kill to stay in power. If he wouldn't in 2016, he would now. Look how he equates the US to Russia. His answer to, "Putin kills journalists" was "America has a lot of killers." He equated Putin to his own soldiers in Iraq. I thought he wasn't very smart, but my God, what an IDIOT! He went to college? He doesn't understand the most basic things we learned in the 8th grade! I thought he was a con MAN, but too dumb to be a con ARTIST. Now I know more about con artist strategy. I STILL think he's a dumb, two-bit con man, but I didn't think he was so stupid that he couldn't recognize when HE is being conned. He's being conned by foreign adversaries. He's being conned by CROOKS IN HIS OWN PARTY AND BY HIS OWN EMPLOYEES. In the end, WE are getting screwed.

  1471. The President of the United States has now said that the Special Counselors Office plans to meddle in the mid-term election. Let that sink in... Trump says Mueller is going to rig the mid-terms... Is that sinking in, Trump followers? Do you understand the gravity of that?? The President... of the United States says... There is no evidence of that. Where would you even begin to..? I mean, the insanity! Of all his bizarre claims, this is the craziest! His defenders will go on TV and radio and say, "I think what he means by that is... " No. Fucking No! THERE IS NO RATIONALIZING THIS! It is time to MAKE HIM EXPLAIN THIS! And when he can't, because there is no fucking explanation, he needs to be removed via the 25th Amendment!

  1472. If this was Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman and his assistant, her personal attorney, her campaign security advisor, and her foreign policy advisor, who had flipped, and in addition, a dozen or so other close aides had admitted to lying about Russian contacts - one being her daughter, would you folks say it wasn't newsworthy? Would you call it a "witch hunt", and call distinguished, high level public servants crooks? Would you believe it if Hillary said they're ALL lying? Do you people HEAR YOURSELVES??

With no evidence, in defiance of common sense, they assert that 98% are funded by special interests, but they believe the tiny fraction who are known to work for the oil and coal lobbies.

You know Russia has had the bomb for decades, right? It was not weapons grade uranium. Russia can get uranium. They have 4500 nukes, and plenty of mines of their own. They can legally possess nuclear weapons. Okay, I'm wasting my time, but I'll explain it one more time. The Uranium One deal was about shares in Canadian mining company. The deal had to be approved by 9 US agencies, including the State Department. Only the president could veto it. So, first of all, the 9 agency board and the president would have to have been inclined to NOT approve the deal in the first place before anyone would need to bribe anyone. Then, they would have to bribe 9 agencies. Get it? Clinton headed one of those agencies. Furthermore, the person accused of bribing Clinton did not have a stake in the company at the time of the sale. Get it?

Venus is a 900 degree sauna, and that's what will happen to Earth if we don't get a handle on things. The White House study concluded 90% of it is man-made. Rocket scientists study this, but it isn't rocket science. These things are measurable. We are taking eons worth of carbon from underground and pumping it into the sky in a couple of hundred years. What do you think happens to the greenhouse gasses? They just magically go away? And whether it is man-made or not, we still have an existential problem we are not helpless to solve.

  1491. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  1493. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.

  1495. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

Biden used money as leverage with the Ukrainians IN HIS CAPACITY AS VICE PRESIDENT, per US policy, with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, in the interest and for the benefit of the United States, NOT for personal gain. Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

  1499. The oldest rhetorical, political tricks in the book: - "Nobody wants big government. Give the rich more, they'll make more, and it will trickle down. Plus, you also get a tax cut". They throw you a bone, and while you're gnawing the scraps, the rich use the windfall to buy new toys and lobby for more tax cuts. - "I'm an outsider. I'm not beholden to special interests". Yeah. Not yet. - "It's about national security. We have to do this NOW". What a convenient way to get around scrutiny and play on peoples' fears. - "I'm a regular guy, so I understand you". Do you want your surgeon to be a regular joe? Your airline pilot? Your lawyer? You choose those with expertise in the field. - "It's not my fault. It's those 'others' among you. I'll help you deal with them". See Hitler, the war on drugs, maniacal cult leaders, and civil wars throughout history. Trump followers, does any of this ring a bell?

  1500. I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but I think Trump has ODD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, a condition that commonly affects children, where someone refuses to take advice or suggestions simply because they can't stand to be told what to do. It's why he repeats behavior that reflects poorly on him, even though he is obsessed with his image. A family member I know well has this condition. I always said, "If he was standing in the road, and I said, 'Car's coming. Move,'" he would stand there and get hit rather than move. When Trump got elected, I started noticing LOTS of similarities between them. I used to also think that if my family member had money or power, he'd be dangerous.

  1502. David Carter - Seriously? High turnout. One could say the same thing about Trump in 2016. How could an overtly racist, habitually lying, inexperienced TV game show host who had recently been exposed on tape as a lewd misogynist get elected? How could he get re-elected when he had THE LOWEST AVERAGE APPROVAL RATING IN HISTORY. Never over 50%! Damn, you people are fucking stupid!

  1503. Trump didn't know Great Britain had the bomb. He thought we could nuke hurricanes. He thought you could shine a flashlight up your butt and kill COVID 19.

  1512. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  1513. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  1514. The complaint was investigated by the IG. Others have corroborated it in testimony. Your assertion is ridiculous.

  1515. If Trump is innocent, when he found out Mike Flynn was talking sanction relief with the Russians behind Trump's back, why didn't he fire Flynn immediately? There was already suspicion. Why wasn't Trump super-pissed at him? (Same with Kushner, Sessions, Stone, Corsi, Page, Papadopoulos, Manafort...)

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". 5)- "Someone stole my identity and used it to vote". 6)- "I knew he was bad, but not THAT bad". 7)- "Something about those red MAGA hats was mesmerizing". 8)- "I was drinking heavily on Election Day".

  1518. Trump WANTS a riot to break out in Tulsa. He wants the media to get footage of protesters throwing bricks into windows, but he will also tweet that the "fake news" refused to cover it because the "Radical Left" hates cops and supports ANTIFA.

  1525. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  1526. I scrolled-down just to see if the Trump followers were saying Sally Yates was a criminal now. Didn't have to scroll far. Funny, they hate CNN, and they weren't calling her a criminal until now, even though Trump fired her over a year ago (for doing her job, morons). How many of these fucks here are Russian trolls? I wonder. At least they do it for their country. Their middle aged, shirtless, horse-riding narcissist, "Mr." Putin. These American Trump fans who buy into their crap are dumb as dog shit.
    6
  1527. The probe started BEFORE the FISA warrant, that a judge renewed 3 times, was originally issued AFTER he left the campaign, (for arousing suspicion about Russia. Imagine that - a Trump campaign staffer). I've yet to see any proof that the FBI gave any political dirt to the Dems. Unlike Trump's people, who were meeting with Russians to trade political dirt - that WAS used in the campaign - for sanction relief.

  1528. simon cohen - And many things, he can. Like not holding rallies in hot spots where he removeed social distance stickers from the seats. He can encourage, and not discourage safety measures. He could actually have a plan. He could not contradict his own task force. He could not suppress scientific information...the list goes on. Look at other countries - It's clear this is about leadership. Trump is responsible for A LOT of this.

  1531. Imagine if Donald Trump was Hillary Clinton, and she had won in 2016. We find out her top people, including her daughter, had met with foreign government surrogates to influence the election. Her campaign manager and personal attorney go to prison. Her new personal attorney winds up under investigation for conducting a shadow "foreign policy" by utilizing two reputed gangsters who wind up arrested at an airport with one way tickets to Vienna, and charged with felonies. Her top campaign aide turned National Security Advisor is fired and indicted in record time, and HIS assistant is indicted, and turns states' evidence. Another top campaign aide, a self-dubbed "dirty trickster", is convicted of lying to authorities about being in touch with the hackers AND disseminators of stolen information used as dirt in the campaign. A record number of her cabinet members are ousted in scandal...Imagine these are only things pertaining to the corruption of her top people, never mind the ocean of lies and questionable things that she, herself, had done while in office. Trumpers, what would you have to say about that?

  1532. Borvo - Exactly. He has people thinking you can just put on a disguise, as if your name isn't on a list that they cross off when you vote. He has them thinking people want to drive from state to state on a Tuesday just to get one more vote in the name of a recently deceased person. He has them thinking illegal immigrants want to risk deportation and jail just to vote.

  1533. National Security Adviser to both the Trump campaign and the White House, Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort's partner, Rick Gates, and campaign Security Adviser, George Papadopoulos have all pleaded guilty to felonies. All three are cooperating with Mueller. Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 felonies, is seeking a plea deal with Mueller, has another impending trial, and a possible retrial on 10 more felony counts. Paul Manafort ally, Sam Patton has pleaded guilty to foreign lobbying charges and is cooperating. Trump lawyer and "fixer", Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty to felonies, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator, and is seeking a plea deal. National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker was granted immunity. Trump Organization CFO, Alan Weiselburg was also granted immunity. Over a dozen Russians tied to Putin have been indicted. The Trump Foundation is under investigation. Donald Trump, Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump are all named in a lawsuit. White House lawyer, Don McGahn spoke to Mueller for 30 hours. Hope Hicks, Sam Nunberg, and a dozen or so more Trump associates and current and former White House staffers have spoken to Mueller. Roger Stone is predicting his own indictment. Carter Page, Donald Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner are under clouds of suspicion about collusion with the Russians. The wolves are gathering.
    6
  1534. I don't think it would be considered "going low" when they go low, for Democratic politicians to start calling Trump "Lyin' Don". It's using irony to make a point. At the top of every news program, the media should have a segment that takes 3 minutes or so to list and debunk every falsehood Trump had uttered in the past 24 hours. The frog is boiling. It should be absolutely unacceptable that the President is an habitual liar.

The DOJ warned them not to knock on doors and survey voters, but they did it anyway. They have raped the chain of custody. They have only loyalists with no experience running the operation. I haven't heard even one person lay out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together.

I presume it's this general "deep state" conspiracy theory? It has already been investigated by a Trump appointee who only found minor infractions in the FBI, and NO wrongdoing by the Obama Administration. Ever notice FOX News just throws out the same names all the time, and never explains anything! WHO was charged as a result of the Duhram probe? You have no idea, do you? I doubt you know a thing about how any of this works.

I know, I know, he's done a lot of things I thought were impossible, but he will soon be plagued with lawsuits and indictments all around him if he isn't criminally indicted himself. I think we're going to hear a LOT of former staff dishing the dirt about him after the 20th.

  1551.  @WHADDDD  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?

Why can't you people accept the OBVIOUS TRUTH that Donald Trump lied his ass off constantly? Go to the WaPo website and try to tell me where they falsely accused Trump of lying. Look at Obama's and tell me what's missing. YOU are biased. Did you complain when Trump was on the phone with Rupert Murdoch every night? When he coordinated with FOX News? What would you think if Biden coordinated CNN stories with Andersen Cooper? For God's sake, wake up and live in reality!

Stubborn things, those facts. By the way, PBS is partially government funded. Do you think Republicans wouldn't raise hell and threaten to cut funding if they thought they were biased? Well, they'd have no basis because facts are facts. Are you worried about biased news misleading you or other people? One thing you hyper-media bashers have in common - You refuse to learn how things work.

  1556. So, the MAGA crowd argues that the insurrectionists should only get charged with trespassing, and that BLM rioters were given a break. Then, you point out that BLM rioters were handled the same way and that higher level insurrectionists have not been charged with higher crimes yet, and they conjure conspiracy theories. Yeah, because "Antifa" or a few FBI agents can incite a riot on the spot, but it's inconceivable that Trump, Stone and Giuliani could incite one with months of rhetoric, including a cry for "trial by combat"??

  1558. kingof206 - Trump initially APPROVED of those concentration camps. What reason do you people even have to claim Biden is in bed with the Chinese? Oh, I get it. China is communist. Republicans baselessly claim Democrats are all communists. Therefore, Biden is crooked for China. It's ridiculously, mind-numbingly stupid.

  1562. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible than to fudge the numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, please, tell me how a fake poll helps a candidate.

  1567.  @joelstanhope7231  Still waiting? Gee, I just checked my messages. I didn't know you had given me 30 minutes. LOL. No, lack of candor is NOT the same as lying. It can mean a lot of things short of lying, including simply not being forthcoming with information. I sure don't need 30 minutes to list Trump's lies. Off the top of my head: He lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during his campaign. That was a major conflict of interest, and it left him open to blackmail. During a summit, he lied about receiving a two phone calls from the Chinese, who were supposedly ready to make a trade deal. There was no phone call. He lies about keeping pre-existing conditions protections in health insurance while he actively works to end them. He lied about the raid that killed Al Baghdadi. He lied about a hurricane heading towards Alabama. He lied about directing his lawyer to make hush payments to women. He lies about statistics ALL THE TIME, often changing numbers in the same day. He phoned a call in show and said he was someone else. He lies about how many floors are in his buildings. He lied about knowing Lev Parnas. He lied about knowing Felix Sater...I could go on and on, but if you think he hasn't even told ten lies, you obviously aren't worth all of the typing, so I'll give you two links to the over 16,000 lies he has told. https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/20/president-trump-made-16241-false-or-misleading-claims-his-first-three-years/

  1570. After all of Pence's loyalty, all it took for Trump to sick a mob on him was his refusal to do something that was literally impossible. This reminds me of The Simpsons when Mr. Burns loses his mind and orders Smithers to board a small, model plane at gunpoint. Trump doesn't care if something is literally impossible. If you don't do it for him, you have betrayed him.

  1574. Some activists protest - nonviolently - just by carrying signs and chanting, with the INTENT to get arrested. Often it's where they defy a curfew or sit down in a restricted area knowing they'll take a trespassing charge. They don't attack or even blame the cops. They don't cry about the conditions in the county jail and say they're being treated worse than everyone else. The Capitol rioters have some nerve to attack police violently for trying to stop them from killing lawmakers, and then act like the law should just leave them alone! If I vandalized a McDonalds because I felt like they ripped me off, gave me bad service, and insisted without proof that they spit on my food, should I expect the cops to NOT show up at my door with handcuffs? It's a mad, mad world.

  1577. Scooby Doo Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  1582. Virus genomes are complicated. How viruses spread is simple. They evolved to invade the respiratory system for the sole purpose of reproducing. It's why they make you caugh. When this started, and those caravans in that Amazon commercial went into that middle class suburb to wave at those poor, isolated kids who'd been stuck at home for two months with nothing but their iPhones to talk to most of their friends, the crew probably stopped at the same gas station, and stood in the same line on the way into the suburb. Did the film crew wear masks when they filmed the commercial? (When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones. We sure didn't have Zoom. Two months without seeing most of your friends was called summer break). When those people who were dying of lonliness after a week, and singing from balconies, did they consider that those micro-droplets from their mouths were falling right onto the balconies and the street below? Did people who walked on that street wash their hands after they took off their shoes and unconsciously touched their eyes? Al Roker was doing the weather from home for the first two hours of the morning news, then showing up at the studio for the third hour. It's a news studio. It's the same few people in each area. You can disinfect those areas regularly. GTF to work, Al! A city bus may only have 40 riders at any given time, but do they disinfect it after every stop? That's hundreds per route. Avoid the bus. 6200 people, indoors, in a city with a COVID spike, at a campaign rally, for a POTUS whose JOB it is to deal with this problem, ENCOURAGING people to NOT wear masks as a political statement..?!? Fun fact: Trump's Oklahoma rally was the first, biggest gathering ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD since the pandemic began, even though it only drew 1/3 of the projected crowd. We should use common sense to think about how it spreads, because we're not getting a consistent message from the government. Trump's COVID task force is lead by Mike Pence, who doesn't even believe in evolution. Viruses are MASTERS of evolution because they're simple, tiny, little things that can't live long without people, but they can sure get around the world really fast. Advertisers will always tell you to "get back out there" because their job is to sell products and services.

  1585. - 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. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit foward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. Sater worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

  1586. Has the Confederate flag always been seen as an intolerable symbol of racism? I remember an 80s show called "The Dukes of Hazard", featuring a car with a big Confederate flag on the roof. Those were just some good, ole boys who were never meanin' no harm. How racist could it have been if 1980s TV executives didn't see a problem broadcasting it in prime time? I always thought it was weird that we displayed the flag of a failed rebellion. When ISIS was driven from Syria and Iraq, they didn't keep flying the ISIS flag. The fact that we did it in America could be seen as an example of tolerance in a free country. Yes, the Confederate flag is NOW seen as too racist to fly. But just remember, not everyone who displays it is a racist. It was HIJACKED by racists. Most of those people are just Civil War buffs or people simply expressing Southern pride the same way some black people like to wear African adornments to express black pride. Yes, let people know you find that flag offensive, but don't act like everyone who has one is a member of the Klan - especially if you want that racist, Trump, out of the White House. All you will do is give him more votes from Southerners who will become soldiers in the culture war he is fueling.

Did he even talk to US diplomats and US intelligence? That moron is letting North Korea break a UN treaty just because he wants to trick us into thinking he brought peace to the peninsula. He's rolling over for Russia because of spite for Democrats and probably as payback for helping him get elected. And he pulled out of the Iran deal out of pure spite for Obama. He has NO IDEA what he is doing, and refuses to learn.

  1592. If Trump was standing in the road, and you told him, "Donald, move. There's a car coming", he would stand there and get hit, just because he doesn't like to be told what to do. If he survived, he would go stand on the road again, before his wounds even healed, just to try to prove you wrong. Nixon said, "If the president does it, it's not illegal." Trump's major malfunction is that he believes if HE does it, it can't be wrong.

  1596. Are MSM bashers as critical of that poor excuse for journalism called FOX News, that literally coordinates with Trump? It's virtually state-run media. Split hairs all you want about the editorial and analysis by the "liberal" media, but editorial isn't fact. They get the facts right 99% of the time. It's the facts that make Trump look bad. The facts make him look guilty. It's absurd to blame liberals for that. Did liberals make Trump's son collude with the Russians? Did liberals make 16 campaign associates reach out to the Russians and lie about it? Trump is such a hypocrite calling the news fake. He planted stories in the tabloids for years. He once phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He lies all the time. So, biased analysis by the press makes them the "enemy of the people", but we should accept the PRESIDENT lying to the people?

  1599. Cornpop is Hunter's Real Daddy ! - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  1606. Angry Patriots - Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. China's lies about COVID were bad, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

Putin is bad guy, but he and his trolls are doing it for their own country. I can't really even blame Trump, himself. Where there's power, there will always be people like him trying to gain and exploit it. I BLAME HIS REPUBLICAN ENABLERS. Elected and appointed Republicans were supposed to keep him in check.

  1619. Spearhand - You are out if your mind if you think Trump is smarter than Obama and legitimately performed better in school. Trump can't spell "smoke" or "they're'. He thinks Scott Free is a proper name. I never heard about Obama trying to suppress his grades.

  1623. I haven't heard even one person lay out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together.

  1624.  @peekosthename  - Ask yourself why this issue came up with a name as common as "Will Smith". Are you saying Will Smith or someone in his family would commit a felony just to get in an extra vote. Those claims are being debunked because those accusing people of voting in the name of the dead did not even verify that it was the same person. There were two cases of people voting in the name of the dead - and they voted for Trump. Now, can YOU explain in ANY detail how this massive conspiracy worked? Why won't ANY of you answer that? You all keep responding, but not one response to the actual question.

  1633. The USMCA, the "new NAFTA", has not taken effect yet. It is unproven. It was a deal involving the Mexicans and Canadians. Think Mr. "Art of the deal" got the best of them? A trade deficit/surplus is not money in the bank. It's about the difference in what we buy from and sell to other countries. A surplus does not go into the treasury. And punitive tariffs are offset by tariffs our trade partners put on us. If Trump wants Mexico to pay for a wall/fence thing, he has to show how. Think Trump is a number cruncher? He doesn't have the capacity or patience for anything technical. He is all about PR. He doesn't take advice, and he doesn't learn. Think he'll start a dedicated wall fund? He is infamous for trying to take money from pile A to put in pile B. He "loves spending other peoples' money". He calls himself the "King of debt".

  1634. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can produce up to 20% of uranium from US mines. The advisory board consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, does NOT have veto power, 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

  1637. Doug Hilton - The dossier is NOT what started the Russia probe. Two things started the probe. 1)- The Russians were screwing with our election. 2)- The Trump team aroused suspicion by screwing around with the Russians. The dossier was the product of an oppo research firm. If the dossier was inaccurate, all that means is that the Democrats paid for an inferior product. I'd add that 1)- The Republicans hired the oppo research firm to start looking at Trump first. 2)- Trump says oppo research is okay, and even includes getting information from foreign powers as oppo research. That part is false. It is illegal.
    6
  1638. So, Trump's top people didn't meet with surrogates of the Russian government to get illegally obtained dirt on his opponent? 16 of his associates didn't lie about 140 denied Russian contacts? Roger Stone wasn't reaching out to Wikileaks? Papadopoulos didn't suggest asking the Russians for help? Sure. The Democrats made them all do all of those things at gunpoint.

  1639.  @michaelwilliamson4759  I didn't call Trump supporters white supremacists. Duh. However, virtually all white supremacists are Trump supporters. He encouraged groups of them to attack the Capitol, then called them "special people". No, the media has not been trying to label all Trump supporters as white supremacists, but if they want to stop being stereotyped as racist, maybe they should stop insisting that anyone who demonstrates against systemic racism is a liberal commie.

  1642. Trump is a bigot. His niece and personal lawyer have said so. He ordered Federal law enforcement to end racial insensitivity training. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. He said every black leader of a country runs a shithole. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He has had two overtly racist advisors. He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.
    6
  1643. goofy girl - You obviously have a double standard. By your own metrics, if Biden is racist, then Trump is extremely racist. "Super predators" referred to criminals, not blacks. But let's say it was code for black - What do you think "I saved the suburbs from low-income housing" means??? You are ridiculously, hopelessly biased.

We can't even discontinue one style of rifle? It's insane.

  1656. Big cities usually contain at least part of two Congressional districts, and each has a mayor. Each state has two Senators and a Governor. Sometimes those positions are held by a Democrat, sometimes a Republican. Urban blight and crime don't just appear or disappear every inauguration day. This should be so obvious it doesn't need to be explained. Trump is pushing this idiotic narrative that Democratic leadership causes inner city problems. Is he rolling out some urban renewal plan? Infrastructure? No. It's a bullshit, juvenile, political tactic. He threatens to TAKE AWAY funding from blue areas having problems. The whole thing about Baltimore slums only came about because Trump was mad that Cummings pointed out slum conditions in border detention centers. If you fall for that narrative, you'll fall for anything he pulls out of his ass.

  1662. Imagine going to the cops and saying, "Someone is going to rob me in two months," and when they ask who, you say, "Everybody who doesn't like me." Then, two months later, you go back and report that you've been robbed. When they ask "Who do you think did it and how?" you say, "Everyone, in every way possible and impossible." The cops investigate and find nothing, but you don't accept that. You keep coming back every two weeks, saying, "Joe did it," then, "The Chinese did it," then, "they robbed my car," then, "they hacked my bank account..." Still no suspect or even evidence that a crime was committed. Eight months later, you're still going back, "Okay, NOW I know - It was Nancy in the Library of Congress with a candlestick."

  1663. John Griffith - They want us to believe that the left wing deep state is all powerful, but just not powerful enough to stay in power half the time, and that Donald Trump defeated them because he's just that good, and keeps it so real.
    6
  1664. Jesterinadeck _ - Biden was VP to the first Black president. He picked a Black/Indian woman as his VP. He is CLEARLY not a racist. By the standard in which you judge Biden as racist, Trump is a HUGE racist. You sound ridiculous.
    6
  1665. To say Trump was tougher on Russia than any other President is laughable. Obama sanctioned them for invading Ukraine. Exxon/Mobile, a US oil company, could have made a $500 billion deal with a Russian oil company, but Putin invaded Ukraine, so Obama stopped the deal. Trump has been trying to LIFT sanctions. Mnuchin is trying to lift them on a Russian oligarch tied to the election meddling. The heat is on, yet they persist? Blackmail? Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was tougher on Russia than anyone. That's why Putin wanted her out of the running. Nobody can say Reagan was soft on them. Nobody has been easier on them than Trump.

  1666. Plus, as an actor who has done comedy (crappy comedy), Smith should know that comedians have to approach the line to be truly good, so we should cut them some slack if they cross it. In this "cancel culture" we need edgy comedians now more than ever.

  1667. Major Smith - 16 Trump associates LIED about 140 denied cobtacts with the Russian government surrogates - including about the Trump Tower meeting and the Trump Tower Moscow project.

  1668. All of the Republican Senators who voted to acquit Trump are idiots. If there's one more MAGA riot, those now on record defending that nonsense will lose their re-election bids. Trump won't be there to abuse his power to cover things up and spin it as a Democrat/media "hoax." Over the next few years, the news will be peppered with reports of Trump and his cronies' legal troubles. Enjoy the brief remainder of your political careers, morons.

  1671. lineflyer - Moron, why do you say she colluded with Russia? What the fuck is wrong with you people? Oh, yeah, you're probably a Russian troll. Tell me, why did Clinton, right after the primary, polling at 95%, "collude" with Russia to smear Trump in case she lost? Does that make sense? Do you have any idea how many people and agencies she would have to involve to pull that off? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE MORON. Fuck off, troll. Go learn something before you spew your garbage.

  1672. Fucking morons. You think the CIA, FBI, DNI, NSA, the White House, Dutch intelligence, British intelligence, Australian intelligence, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube...just to name a few...ALL went along with a plot hatched by the Democrats to have something to smear Trump with on the off-chance that he won???

  1676.  @vforwombat9915  ... And the hypocrisy is stunning. One time, one Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, said people should get in politician's faces in public. It was not a smart thing to say, but even dumber for the right wingers to even being that up and call it incitement because at the same, they say Trump's rhetoric was NOT incitement. That's not just trying to have it both ways. That's standing in a glass house on a mountain and throwing stones at a mole hill. They say Trump's rhetoric couldn't have incited a riot, but a few FBI agents or Antifa members in the crowd can and did!

  1677.  @killedthecat1034  - Yeah, I think so, too. The paid trolls make more sense to me than the MAGA folk who do it for free. At least the paid trolls get paid and think they're being patriotic. I'll never understand why anyone would choose these subjects to discuss without any interest in learning the subject matter. It's like if I went on a bunch of comment boards about golfing and criticized golfers all day long with no interest in playing or even watching golf.

  1678. I was wrong about Trump. I thought he was a con man, not a con artist. Tricking the stupid shouldn't be an art form. Now, I see that he's the Picasso of bullshit. He lies constantly, but he convinced the biggest skeptics, conspiracy theorists, that he's honest. Politicians have always said, "I'm an outsider", but he made folks think he was the first. He thinks proper spelling is "smock" and "boarder", but he got people to enroll at Trump University. He's played more suckers than PT Barnum. He's inspired xenophobia that would make Hitler jealous. He's charmed more followers than Jim Jones, and he has the personality of a rabid raccoon. He didn't just con the stupid. He's gotten Senators, CEOs, and otherwise smart people to back his dumb ideas. Now, he must take it up a notch and lead the flat earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince them the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe what you want to believe.

  1679. ihave35cents - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  1681. 2020 ELECTION SNAPSHOTS - Antifa, which is only like 50 people anyway, was not there. We don't need "tapes" to know what happened because we saw it with our eyes and heard with our ears what Trump and his party of insurrectionists said.

  1682. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  1686. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  1687. So, it's Biden vs. Trump The man who's made a few racially insensitive gaffes or the hero to the KKK? The 76 year old who has occasional "senior moments," or the 73 year old who can't keep his attention on a single printed page, repeats himself constantly, and can't speak without going on tangents? The man who is accused without proof of corruption, or the guy credibly accused of many felonies, was impeached, lies compulsively, hides records, and uses his power to fire/remove everyone who tries to investigate him?

  1690. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison. Democrats did not organize or defend the rioting at the civil rights demonstrations, and it was not an attempt to overthrow the government. Republicans organized and defended the insurrectionists at the Capitol, which was an attempt to overthrow the government.

  1703.  @hoax845  - The Sargeant at Arms. Not to mention that the President of the United States had the most power to mobilize anyone. He told them to go to the Capitol, watched the mayhem on TV, and delayed the response! Do you realized how F'ed up that is?? The PRESIDENT watched the US CAPITOL get attacked and when McCarthy asked him to do something said, "Well, Kevin. I guess you aren't as upset as they are about the election." Why on Earth would security be the job of the politicians?!

  1705. Mark Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. -Tried to sell the public snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, and those of the CDC and the COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would all just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing, instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  1706. There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  1711. They're going after the Trump Organization and the Trump Foundation now. People around him are flipping, getting immunity and plea deals, and pleading guilty to crimes left and right. Soon, they'll indict his son and son-in-law, and he will have to resign. He'll probably keep himself and his family out of jail, but he'll be financially ruined. Then, he'll have to become a FOX News contributor to make money to pay off the hundreds of lawsuits against him.

  1712. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters for killing US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "a hoax." - Trump inexplicably pulled a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Michael Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  1713. Classic conservatives should sue the current crop of MAGA deplorables for rights to the Republican name and the image of that elephant.

  1720. There is NO EXCUSE for this! If Trump and the GOP want to prove that they didn't cheat in 2016 and care about ELECTION SECURITY, they should WANT TO pass legislation to guard against foreign meddling and dirty tricks, PERIOD! It is ESTABLISHED that Russia did attack, and is currently attacking our elections. It is ESTABLISHED FACT that cyberspace is the new battleground, and it's a wild frontier. Don't take my word for it. This is the assessment of the FBI. Notice how the only thing Trump and the GOP want to regulate is big tech - but in THEIR FAVOR! "Google is biased against conservatives", "Twitter is deleting pro-Trump comments!" BULLSHIT! This, as they insist that a citizenship question on the census is for law enforcement purposes, and has nothing to do with the fact that it favors THEM in a tight election. This, as those fuckers have lost gerrymandering cases repeatedly because the courts rule their tactics as racist. This, as they insist that voter ID laws are merely about ELECTION SECURITY, and disregard the fact that individual voter fraud is a non-issue. Trump's own voter fraud commission found NOTHING. (They needed 3 million illegal votes in an ALREADY blue state?!?) US intelligence agencies found every reason for Congress to safeguard our elections. Trump, himself, constantly describes a "crooked system" where everything is "rigged". The Russians meddled IN HIS FAVOR. In 2016, Trump literally said it was okay to cheat IN HIS FAVOR! But he wants to investigate the investigators who investigated Russian meddling into the election that THE RUSSIANS ADMIT MEDDLING IN TO HELP HIM WIN! Holy shit, has this whole country gone fucking STUPID?!? It hasn't. 40% of it has gone fucking stupid! That's not even a simple majority! But because it takes 67% of the Senate to remove the "duly" elected, incompetent, lying piece of shit in the White House, the SPINELESS Democrats won't pull the proverbial trigger and IMPEACH THAT SOB!!

  1725. The whistleblower is just the one who pulled the proverbial fire alarm. Republicans want to complain about that even though when the fire department showed up, the building was ablaze. If they want the whistleblower's information, then they can call the Inspector General who VALIDATED THE CLAIM. But they won't do that. They just want to demonize the whistleblower as a "Trump hater", and have us think this was all about a phone call, and not about the scheme that it exposed.

"He habitually lied, created a new scandal every day, and constantly embarrassed us, but he talked about American jobs and America first, so we need him." ALL politicians talk about American jobs. ALL of them who can sell themselves as "outsiders" have always done so. They can't find anyone else? Trump is the abusive, deadbeat husband they keep crawling back to because they think they have no other options.

  1730. 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.

  1734. It's so ridiculous that Trump supporters PRETEND that he isn't immature and disrespectful. Most pretend his behavior is normal for a President, and the ones who acknowledge his abnormality still gaslight, and pretend we shouldn't be concerned about it. Even the dumbest, and those too young to remember how a normal, respectful, thoughtful POTUS acts must be aware of this. Trump followers KNOW DAMN WELL that they would have the OPPOSITE opinions about Trump if he was a Democrat. It's hypocrisy and tribalism, plain and simple. Also, didn't Trump brand himself as a different kind of candidate? Someone who would shake things up? Well, then what the hell does he expect? To break all the norms and NOT be criticized? Even by SNL? Seriously?? Their gaslighting is ridiculous. Give us Trump critics some credit for knowing what the hell is going on.

  1735. On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, that Wikileaks was to release hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he had communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Now, Stone and Corsi are contradicting each other. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He says he was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both candidate Trump and chairman, Paul Manafort, deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did that without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Is there reason to be suspicious yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

Look into Kushner, Flynn, and Cohens influence peddling.

  1742. When Trump first got elected, Kieth Olbermann was doing podcasts called, "The Resistance". (They're on Youtube. Check them out). Early on, Olbermann suggested that Trump was in cahoots with Russia in a major way. I thought he was crazy. I thought that, sure, Trump probably tried to collude. We knew Russia had hacked the DNC. But I thought it was a "wink and a nod" with Putin. They'd help each other, but there would be no paper trail, few transactions, and no solid proof. Wow, was I wrong!
    6
  1743. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they do that?" It's because they don't consider them their own. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. He bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) To Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrant. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news"? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" He considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump betrays his own people. He is loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

His Twitter feed will be a daily, 280 character sermon to them. Every time they don't like what Biden does - which will be every time Biden does anything - they will look to their god to tell them what to think about it, and what nonsensical talking point to parrot. It will be automatic - Oppose Biden, no matter what. Trump will be tweeting about Ukraine and "Russiagate" until the day he dies.

  1750. It's opinion and analysis. It's designed to be biased. Do you people not get that? The people he is arguing against are biased, too. I'm no FOX News fan, but at least they put someone on to argue a dissenting opinion. They do the same thing on CNN. You people crying bias don't even get it. YOU are engaging in confirmation bias by crying "bias", and so many of you take it to an obnoxious level!

  1752. Chris Ullery - That's another nonsensical talking point I read in these comments all the time - "You're brainwashed by CNN". You sound ridiculous. I don't even like CNN. It's the McDonalds of news. I prefer to watch PBS and read the New York Times. That said, CNN reports the same FACTS they all do, and they're almost always accurate. I know the difference between fact, opinion, and analysis. It's ironic that you MSM bashers call people who watch it "brainwashed". THAT is a FOX News/Trump/right wing social media feedback loop talking point. YOU are the brainwashed.
    6
  1753. MSM critics - -- Learn the differences between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. -- A LIE is knowing a FACT and saying otherwise. An OPINION cannot be a lie. If you're going to say, "MSM lies", back it up by NAMING THE LIE. -- CNN can't "cover up" anything, because CNN is not the sole gatekeeper of information. -- All of those CNN "faked green screen" videos are complete bullshit. They've all been debunked. The biggest problems with conspiracy theorists are confirmation bias and a total disregard for common sense. -- You're abusing the definition of the word, "fake". Look it up. OPINIONS you don't agree with are not fake. Bias is not fakery. -- "Enemy of the people" is a term coined by Joseph Stalin. The fact that Trump uses it daily like a parrot with fake news turrets syndrome should shoot a chill up your spine. -- Typing into a Youtube search box, looking for some journalist wannabe to confirm your bias is NOT "doing research". -- Liking alternative music over corporate pop crap is good. Going to the family-owned, dive restaurant rather than eating at Applebees because the food is better is good. Supporting the local bodega rather than raising Wal-Mart's quarterly earnings is good. That's NOT the case with news media. Why? Because CNN, BBC, CBS...can afford editors, FACT CHECKERS, correspondents all over the place, planes and trucks to get them places, high-priced reporters whose reputations are their assets, and SOURCES ON THE INSIDE. Do you think Mark Dice knows high-level people at the Pentagon? Do you think White House aides are leaking information to TYT? -- MSM isn't controlled by the DNC, the CIA or the "deep state". They ARE controlled by ADVERTISERS. Their motivations are not political. They're motivated by SENSATIONALISM. It makes no sense to limit yourself to one political party. Yes, MSM will and DO report on Democrats behaving badly. (Listen to "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley). -- MSM's product is information. You complain about corporate media. Well, corporations are CAPITALIST, not socialist. Capitalism is based on competition. News outlets compete with each other to get the most accurate information out there before their competitors do. I know it seems homogeneous, and they almost always report the same stories, but that's a consequence of that competition. I have problems with MSM, but not with their "bias" or some perceived notion that they're working for the DNC. I think they're obnoxious, homogeneous, and overly sensational. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. EXTRACT the FACTS from the opinions. -- Of course they use narratives. They HAVE TO. Narratives are what sell their product - information. ANALYSIS is what helps the viewer understand what the raw information means. You don't have to agree with it, but disagreement with the OPINION doesn't mean the FACTS are inaccurate. -- FOX News is a mainstream media outlet. It's corporate media, and it's the ultimate biased outlet. They coordinate with the White House. Who is FOX News' competition? It has no competitors to keep them in check. FOX News has a monopoly on "conservative", visual, non-print media, which is the format most people use for news. If I see fifteen people standing in a group, and I stand to the right of them, does that make them "the left"? No. The center may be halfway between them and myself, but the center of gravity is a lot closer to the group. FOX News is not conservative, but ALTERNATIVE media. They coordinate with Donald Trump and social media to form a feedback loop of OPINION that thrives on confirmation bias. -- Check your hypocrisy. I know you're capable of understanding the concept of bias, but you're blinded to your own. You're too tribal, and just, plain ignorant about how journalism works. Trump and the GOP are taking advantage of that, and playing you for fools. -- Think about it. Someone who spends all day every day on CNN's Youtube channel just to bash CNN is either a paid troll or an idiot. "Their ratings are dropping. They'll soon be gone!" That sounds like those doomsday preachers who say, "The world is going to end next week!" and next week, they say it will be NEXT WEEK, and never address the fact that they've been wrong every week.

  1761. During his campaign, Trump said he would eliminate the national debt in 8 years. After he won, when his economic advisors warned him that the debt was projected to rise sharply over the next 8 years, he said he didn't care because, "I'll be gone then". Yes, Trumpers, he really said that. Look it up. Yes, Obama raised the debt to record levels, (to get us out of a recession). Know who is raising the debt at an EVEN HIGHER RATE than Obama? Yup. Trump - the guy who said he would eliminate a $22 trillion debt in 8 years. Know how much the the budget deficit went up after the Trump tax cuts? $1.5 trillion. Know how much those tax cuts cost $1.5 trillion. Do you Trumpers know what happens to a budget deficit? It's red ink, and it becomes DEBT.

Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt, Tom Price, Rob Porter, and Mike Flynn were ousted in scandal. Ben Carson is under suspicion. Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates pleaded guilty to felonies. Just wait and see how it goes with Don Jr, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Jarred Kushner, and Ivanka Trump. Hell, even Eric "Short Bus" Trump is being looked at for charity fraud. "All the best people", right?

  1768. Bluntly - Evidence: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

It's even worse to go farther, and condemn the left's reaction while excusing and defending Trump's rhetoric. It's hypocrisy and projection, plain and simple. Calling out hate is not hate, and calling out racism is not racist. The president's duty is to set the tone. Don't give me that "counterpuncher" crap. Trump is just a puncher. Period. It doesn't matter what his critics or the media do or don't say. He will ALWAYS sling mud regardless, and do it with the maturity of a 12-year-old. If Obama did and said half of what Trump does, the right would be outraged. There is historical, documented proof of that.

Because he was rich - among many rich people - but had the kind of ego that drove him to publicize it all the time?? SO?? How did that in any way qualify him to run the country?? This country is full of IDIOTS! A President should have experience in government, leadership skills, communication and problem solving skills. Being famous is not a qualification!!

  1783. If Trump's wall funding was a loan from a bank, the bankers would laugh him right out the door. So, Mexico will "pay" with the increased revenue into the treasury? Fine. Trump can open an "account", and start a dedicated wall fund. Let's see how that fund does. Money from a trade surplus doesn't go into the treasury. We also need a good, HONEST, INDEPENDENT study on how much the wall will cost. $25 billion is a figure Trump pulled out of his ass. His first figure was, like, $4 billion. Trump doesn't read or research anything. He notoriously lies about numbers, and shit ALWAYS happens. Think they'll finish under budget? Think he factored-in property rights issues? Lawsuits, probably over eminent domain issues? Environmental concerns? LOST revenue from lost commerce due to that wall? If Trump puts OUR MONEY where HIS MOUTH is, Mexico will not end up paying for anything.

  1794. Trump says there's fraud, but his lawyers aren't arguing fraud in court. That won't fly with a judge. Trump ALWAYS says he or the candidate he backed is being cheated, then he, himself, cheats. He slowed down the mail. He told his voters to vote twice, and that it was okay to cheat in his favor. He openly sought to manufacture dirt on his opponent in cooperation with pro-Russian Ukrainian parliament members. He actually said he thought it was okay to do that! His campaign manager, son, and son-in law met with members of the Russian government in Trump Tower to trade dirt on his opponent for relief of sanctions we imposed on Russian adoptions because of their mistreatment of children. A few weeks later, Russians hacked and dumped tens of thousands of DNC emails via Wikileaks, who Roger "dirty trickster" Stone (who has a tattoo of Nixon on his back) bragged of being in touch with, along with Guccifer 2.0, the hackers who stole the emails. He's throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. They're arguing fraud because poll workers were spotted rolling their eyes. They're arguing that dead people voted, (as if the dead would only vote for Biden), and they haven't found one actual case. He says poll workers "found" ballots, as if ballots don't correspond to names and personal information of REAL PEOPLE collected at the DMV. How would the perpetrators know if the ACTUAL PERSON did or didn't vote? In 2016, Trump was purchasing fake, online polls as he accused voters of putting on disguises in the parking lot and voting again, as if they don't cross your name off of a list. Individual voter fraud makes no sense. Nobody in their right mind would go through that to get one more vote that won't make a difference anyway with the electoral college. It doesn't make sense that poll workers would go rogue, because it would take hundreds of them to make a difference. The Sharpies, the claims of forged ballots, claims that observers were shut out...all disproven. The feds found nothing wrong with Dominion software. Trump was controversial in 2016. He'd never had a prior job in government. He won, but lost the popular vote. He was impeached. He was constantly embattled in scandal. Many of his closet aides plead guilty to felonies. His charity was shut down for "a shocking pattern of illegality". He habitually lied. He used, by far, the most divisive rhetoric of any modern president. He displayed authoritarian tendencies. He was narcissistic and devoid of empathy. He whined like a child. He used racist tropes. And he's currently failing in his response to a worsening pandemic. He consistently polled 8-10 points behind Biden. His approval rating never went above 49%. He lost the popular vote again by more than the first time. But there's no way he could have possibly lost unless the Democrats cheated? Really?? His own voter fraud commission found nothing in 2016. CISA found no fraud this time. He lost, despite HIS cheating.

  1795. The same people who oppose school and business closures are usually the same people who refuse to wear masks, and who are less likely to get vaccinated. You don't have to be a socialist to understand that we live in a society, and that "I do me, and you do you," when taken to an extreme, is just as bad as losing your idividuality to the collective. It really isn't complicated. Some things are individual and some are communal. Communicable diseases require the community to fight them. This only has to be temporary if people would just do their part.

  1799. - There is no evidence supporting Trump's claims that GOP poll watchers were shut out of the process. - Officials have repeatedly debunked claims of dead people voting. In some cases, voters the campaign claimed were dead were not. In others, the voter's name was the same as or similar to a deceased individual. - While Georgia's recount process doesn't involve matching signatures, voters' signatures were verified twice before the ballots were included in the count in the first place. - It's untrue that there were more votes than people in several parts of Michigan. In fact, 878,102 people voted for president in Wayne County which has a population of over 1.7 million. In Detroit, 250,138 people voted and there were 670,031 people in the city as of 2019. - The DOJ found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. - Though they allege it publicly, Trump's lawyers are NOT claiming fraud in court. - A statement issued from a joint group of election officials, including federal employees working in the Trump administration and for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, declared, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." - Over the course of the four weeks following the election, Trump sent around 500 tweets, 171 of which were flagged by Twitter for containing false or misleading information about the election.

  1803. People need to clear their heads and realize the insanity going on here. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, a VICTIM of the Russian hacking. - Is he saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? He STILL won't believe the intelligence agencies? Think he's going to safeguard our elections if he keeps saying that? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. Does it matter why the DNC outsourced the forensics? It makes no sense that they would leak their own emails. THE RUSSIANS DID IT. We know that, and once and for all, Trump needs to take a position and stick to it. We should DEMAND that! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in. It's reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that! How can he defend law and order?? We're letting him get away with it. Now, they're not even holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Are we going to say, "Oh, that's just Trump"? If you're a Trump supporter, you don't care if we can't be confident that our elections are fair? If so, to you, I say FUCK YOU! Just wait. Your boy is FUCKED!! - Trump is dumb, but he KNOWS BETTER. When the did this kind of behavior become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. If you don't think, with EVERYTHING ELSE he has said and done, and his associates have been caught doing and lying about, you are a FOOL!!

  1804. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

Who made those "fake" ballots, how did they get the information to put on them, and how did they know whether or not the real voter whose identity was stolen was not going to vote? Do you understand how large and complicated that would be to pull off? Counterfeit ballots specific to each kind of machine in each county. How did they recruit of those "fake" poll workers? How did they pay them, or do you you think they did it for free? How were they vetted as loyal, criminal Democrats who wouldn't talk? How did they steal the voter information from all of those different localities? How did they plan to sneak all of those fake ballots into all of those different polling places? To get around the poll watchers? To run them through un-noticed? Why didn't this person who witnessed "thousands" of them report what was going on before there were thousands? And again, you say there were 4 rules broken? There were more than 4 rules broken in Arizona, so why should we believe THOSE results? Think, McFly.

  1809.  @cjp1599  - There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, charity fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

  1812. The Mueller report shows a clear pattern of obstruction and conduct unbecoming of a President. It is a roadmap for impeachment. But here's the problem - Dems would rather beat Trump at the ballot box than impeach. I say, screw that. The election is too far off. The country is ALREADY divided, and this should be about the law. Dems want to run against a wounded Trump, but if he is too wounded, the Republicans will primary, and get rid of him themselves. Then, Dems will have fallen for the old bait and switch. They won't be up against the devil they know. Another Republican might win in 2020 because enough swing voters will think anyone is better than Trump against a Dem candidate that will have become the victim of a long smear campaign. It's too damn early for Dems to be worried too much about winning the next election!

You Trumpers should watch it, or will FOX News not cover it? Amazing. Someone writes a book implying Trump is dumb and childish, and he responds by acting like a dumb child!

  1816. Jim M - No, it doesn't. This was an invitation for a foreign country to meddle in our election - AGAIN! This was purely to benefit Trump, not the country, and unlike last time, he can't claim lack of intent or absence of quid pro quo.

  1822. Koodauskanava - CNN isn't pushing ANY candidate. WTF is wrong with you people who keep saying anyone CNN COVERS is who they are pushing? Ever consider CNN may be just doing their job by REPORTING on a campaign? Damn, you people are so annoying with that shit. Eventually, their EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will endorse a candidate. Learn what the news does or just stop watching it. If you just watch to bash it, then YOU are biased. How can you morons not see that?

  1828. She has never lost a race. She does good work in the Senate. She gave good answers last night. We need a centrist who isn't too old, and since Kamala Harris dropped out, that's Amy Klobuchar. I've been hoping she'd raise her profile for a while now.

  1830. The FISA warrant on Carter Page was renewed 4 times, signed by a judge. Carter Page was caught up in a Russian spy ring in 2013. A Russian spy went to prison. Another fled to Moscow. Then, two years later, there's Page, working for the Trump campaign, traveling to Moscow to make speeches critical of US policy. HELL YEAH, YOU KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT GUY! This is NOT about some FISA warrant on a suspicious character. It did NOT start the probe. You should wonder about why TRUMP AND 16 OF HIS ASSOCIATES LIED ABOUT THEIR RUSSIAN CONTACTS. Russia, not France, not Mexico. Russia. The country that attacked our election to help Trump win. Common fucking sense, please!

  1832. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  1833. mw3516405 - What companies did he "pay to leave the country"? Yes, he bailed out the banks, and it got us out of the recession.

  1834. Trump has the support of 55% of Republicans in the top 6 projected contenders. He never broke 50% approval among all voters. He lost the popular vote twice. The electorate is projected to become more liberal and diverse over the next 4 years as he'll surely have civil, if not criminal troubles. That's the basket Republicans want to put all of their rotten eggs in?

  1837. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

  1838.  @Chris-hupe  - Go ahead, tell me what the media lied about in the following: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  1839. The double talk is ridiculous - Trump said the asylum seekers are lying about conditions where they come from, saying they're "big, tough guys with Nikes and cell phones". Then, he said conditions in detention centers are "much better than where they came from". - In the same interview, Mike Pence said the conditions in detention centers were unacceptable. Then he said that media reports of bad conditions are false. - Pence also said it's why they needed Congress to appropriate $4.6 billion. Then, he said now was the time for Congress to act. Uh, they did. They appropriated $4.6 billion. And that was IN ADDITION to the emergency funding they already got. (Also, a portion of that $4.6 billion didn't go to the border at all. Senate Republicans wouldn't pass a stand-alone emergency bill). - The head of DHS directly contradicted a DHS REPORT that found conditions in detention centers to be "a ticking time bomb". - Trump says his policies are working to cut down on border crossings, then says there are even more crossings now.

  1840. So... that, "I don't give a shit, do you?" shit was..? Do we even know WTF was meant by that?

  1841. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  1842. People need to clear their heads and realize the insanity going on here. Today, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, the VICTIMS of one of the Russian attacks. - So, is Trump saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? The Seth Rich conspiracy? He STILL won't believe the intelligence agencies? How is he going to safeguard our elections if he keeps saying shit like that?? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. It was the DNC's decision to outsource the forensics. Who cares why? I don't care about anyone's unfounded conspiracy theories. THE RUSSIANS DID IT. We know that, and Trump, once and for all, needs to take a position and stick to it! We should DEMAND that!! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in! It is reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that! How can he defend law and order?? We're letting him get away with it!! And now, they're not even holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Are we going to say, "Oh, that's just Trump"?? You're a Trump supporter, so you don't care if we can't be confident that our elections are fair?? If so, to you, I say FUCK YOU! Just wait. Your boy is FUCKED!! - Trump is stupid, but he KNOWS BETTER! When the hell did this kind of behavior become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. And if you don't think, with EVERYTHING ELSE he has said and done, and his associates have been caught doing and lying about, you are a goddamn FOOL!!

    5
  1846. It's cut and dry. Trump solicited election help from foreign countries, PLURAL. There doesn't have to be a quid pro quo, but there was, as evident not just on his phone call, but in text messages among his staff. After all of that shit he brought on himself over enlisting Russian help, he CONTINUES?! And gets agitated about the pushback?? Trump has to be the dumbest narcissist on the planet. WTF did he THINK was going to happen? His stupidity alone should be an impeachable offense.
    5
  1847. Six Delta - Benghazi has been investigated 8 times. Uranium One is a debunked conspiracy theory. We gave Iran its own money. The evidence of collusion is everywhere. You sure have a double standard when it comes to what counts as evidence depending who is alleged to have done wrong.
    5
  1848. Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks a few FBI agents or Antifa members. could incite a riot on the spot, but that Trump, Giuliani, and Stone couldn't possibly incite one with months of inflammatory rhetoric. It was the FBI and Antifa, but they don't want an investigation. Makes sense.

  1851. How do Trump supporters NOT see how much of an overgrown child in tantrum he is? I feel like I woke up in some alternate universe on November 9, 2016. Remember when Howard Dean made a weird noise in 2004, and it pretty much sunk his campaign? How are Trumpers okay with his CONSTANT lying? His obvious unwillingness to learn? His obvious business conflicts of interest? And the obvious VALID suspicions about everyone in his orbit having shady dealings with Russia?

Tell you what - I played this game a year ago with some Trumper who I responded to with my own list of over 100. If I dig up the file, I'll post it here. But unless you are willing to simply Google WaPo's list, you are a complete waste of time.

  1856. The President of the United States has asked the president of a foreign nation to investigate a US citizen, with no basis whatsoever. Trump wants a fishing expedition. A witch hunt. And not just a US citizen, but a prominent former Senator and Vice President. Let that sink in. After all of the shit Trump put himself through over foreign help from Russia, he solicits and extorts Ukraine for the same thing. After all Trump put himself through, opposing his own country's intelligence, siding with Putin in Helsinki, trying to deny that Russia ever even meddled, he tries to resurrect the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory. This is pure insanity.

  1857. Rodger Dodger - Obama didn't use bigoted rhetoric, and those shooters didn't parrot his words.

I'm SO SICK of people immediately crying conspiracy when they hear something they don't like! Get some proof or fuck off!

  1872. From the 508 Brockton ma - It has caused 140,000 deaths and hospitals are going over capacity. Struggle to breathe for three weeks, pay a $10,000 hospital bill, then start talking about it not being bad, you moronic, pathetic troll.
    5
  1873. I understand fully. It's another Nunes assessment. Lemme guess, it shows some "bias"? You are aware warrants have to be granted by a judge, right? Even an emergency FISA warrant has only 72 hours before the request has to be taken to a judge. That's how we guard against this "malicious" prosecution Nunes is alleging. If there is bias, that's something to be brought up at trial, over a specific claim. Not during the investigation as a preemptive matter. They are using a probe to find out about Russia to kill the probe itself, and it is OBVIOUS. It's a cover up attempt.
    5
  1874. 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.
    5
  1875. UNEMPLOYMENT IN GENERAL was cut in half under OBAMA - from 10% to 5%. Under Trump, it has dropped .2%.

  1876. Trump called the words "Black Lives Matter" a "symbol of hate" - a description he's refused to use for Confederate emblems.

  1877. Trump (inaccurately) predicted that Obama would start a war with Iran in 2012 in order to get reelected. Obviously, he thinks that's something that might work. Now, right after being impeached, in the run-up to an election, he brings us to the brink of war with Iran.

  1879.  @dogpoofairy2517  It was widely reported, and it's also what the Maryland National Guard said. Senators and House members called them while they were hunkered-down, and they couldn't act until they got the okay from the top. By all accounts, Trump was over at the White House, gleefully watching the chaos. Use common sense. Do you think word wouldn't IMMEDIATELY go out to the president if the Capitol was under seize? What US President - no matter how they felt personally - wouldn't have immediately sent help?? None would, except Trump, who made it VERY CLEAR that he wanted a mob. Jeez, what is WRONG with you people? This is very simple - How would you feel if that was Obama or Biden, and not Trump, who was acting that way? You would be saying the same things we have been saying. I am absolutely sure of that. You people are hyper-partisan, tribal, biased, and irrational to the point of insanity!

  1881. Trump instructed officials to break eminent domain laws to get his wall built fast. When that leaked, he said he was "joking". Yeah, right. That would have been a huge scandal, but it got diluted in the swamp of corruption he flooded the country with. The Dems and the press let him off the hook on that one.

  1882. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? Is this acceptable from a US President? How about if that President was Obama, Clinton, or a Democrat? What would conservatives say then?
    5
  1883. vincere autmori - The death toll is an official number done by an independent organization hired by the Puerto Rican government. There is nothing out of context, and Trump's assertion that it was "done by the Democrats" is absurd. When will you fools wake up? Do not see his childishness and complete lack of human empathy?

  1886. I want the media to only talk about Trump's accomplishments, like he wants, for a whole news cycle. Give the baby his bottle. - Supreme Court justice - He picked a name from a list. How the hell is that a major accomplishment? It was a list made by a far-right group, which broke protocol, whereby usually they at least confer with an opposing party. Plus, the Republicans sidelined Obama's pick to do it. It would have been an accomplishment to NOT appoint a justice. - North Korea - Anyone seen the headlines today? - Low unemployment - Look at the trend over the past 10 years. Thanks, Obama. - Stock Market - Of course it was going to rally because big investors and corporations knew he was going to give a massive tax cut to the very rich. That's called a bubble. Bubbles burst. - Tax cuts - Again, for the richest. Just wait and see how wealth inequality grows. - Immigration - Sure, he's deporting a lot of people. And separating families, violating civil rights, and breeding xenophobia to do it. - Trade - Trade wars and dubious actions with regard to China that sure looks like selling out the country... Yeah, media, talk about his "accomplishments"

  1887. Michael Williamson - Yeah, Pelosi was beseiged with her colleagues at the Capitol and called-OFF the Guard. Are you really that stupid? Trump held up the Guard and argued against calling them and calling-off the mob.

  1889. It's so ridiculous that Trump supporters PRETEND that he isn't immature and disrespectful. Most pretend his behavior is normal for a President, and the ones who acknowledge his abnormality still gaslight, and pretend we shouldn't be concerned about it. Even the dumbest, and those too young to remember how a normal, respectful, thoughtful POTUS acts must be aware of this. Trump followers KNOW DAMN WELL that they would have the OPPOSITE opinions about Trump if he was a Democrat. It's hypocrisy and tribalism, plain and simple. Also, didn't Trump brand himself as a different kind of candidate? Someone who would shake things up? Well, then what the hell does he expect? To break all the norms and NOT be criticized? Even by SNL? Seriously?? Their gaslighting is ridiculous. Give us Trump critics some credit for knowing what the hell is going on.

  1890. Hugh Mungis - No, it's definitely what they say and how they act. They have the nerve to hold 9 Benghazi hearings and call a Capitol riot investigation "political theater". Do you really think if the Ds were Rs, if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't want a probe?? They will not succeed in avoiding this.

  1891. To Democratic candidates: The country is sharply divided 60/40. You have that 60%. You aren't going to lose any of us. Put that 60% aside. Of the remaining 40%, half is firmly Trumpian. It's also, more or less, the 20% of the population as a whole that is misinformed, batshit crazy, conspiracy-minded, and uninterested in the truth. They hear what they want to. They're hopelessly stuck on Trump. Put them aside, too. That leaves the other 20%. That group contains the 2016 Obama to Trump voters. They voted for Trump because they felt neglected and frustrated by the government, whether that was justified or not. They are on the smarter, saner end of the Trumpland spectrum. They're not the sharpest pencils in the box. They've been misinformed by Trump and right-wing media. They don't know much about government, and frankly, who can really blame them for not wanting to keep up with the circus that is politics? Democrats - those people, that 20%, should be your target! Yes, rally your base, but that alone won't do it. When you rally your side, you also rally theirs. Give that 20% the attention they want. I'm NOT saying pander to them insincerely, and definitely don't agree with them and the ideas that their lying, narcissistic, fear-mongering president has planted in their heads. But try to inform them and explain in simple terms why they should leave the cult of Trump without rattling-off talking points like a robotic, liberal Mike Pence. Run on a message, (I suggest education), AND ALSO be anti-Trump. Democrats can get a lot more votes from the other side than Republicans can. And, by the way, the reason we have minority rule in the first place is Republican gerrymandering. Republican Representation in Congress is grossly disproportionate to the population, so folks shouldn't believe Trump's bullshit about the system being skewed to the Democrats.

  1893. Canada barely has a problem with this, but Northern US and Alaska do. The Canadians locked down early and restricted travel between provinces. They have more than two political parties, making it harder to politicize.

  1894. Republicans censured Liz Cheney for voting to impeach Trump. They basically said that, even though House Republicans were being asked to vote one of two ways, they had to vote one way or else they'd be in trouble. Is there anything less democratic than that? That's what they do in Russia and North Korea. They have elections, but voters have to vote one way or else. Do Republicans really not understand that?

  1896. Are MSM bashers as critical of that poor excuse for journalism called FOX News, that literally coordinates with Trump? It's virtually state-run media. Split hairs all you want about the editorial and analysis by the "liberal" media, but editorial isn't fact. They get the facts right 99% of the time. It's the facts that make Trump look bad. The facts make him look guilty. It's absurd to blame liberals for that. Did liberals make Trump's son collude with the Russians? Did liberals make 16 campaign associates reach out to the Russians and lie about it? Trump is such a hypocrite calling the news fake. He planted stories in the tabloids for years. He once phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He lies all the time. So, biased analysis by the press makes them the "enemy of the people", but we should accept the PRESIDENT lying to the people?
    5
  1897. CNN is the McDonalds of news. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. Not gourmet, but it does the job. FOX News couldn't pass the health inspection. If you don't want the sensationalism, watch PBS, but you will hear the SAME FACTS being reported. If you want to see truly fake "news", watch those ridiculous videos on YouTube, 99% of which are far, far right and obviously biased.
    5
  1898.  @ttarantulas4u258  Hollywood is full of "lefties" because liberals are more creative. The media isn't "owned" by the left. What you call "the left" is a creation of the right moving to the right of center and calling it the left. EVERYTHING IS NOT PARTISAN POLITICS. Get a clue. Actors want to act. Techies want to make computers and software. Journalists want to report the news. Take off that damn political filter and learn how things work. Then, you might be able to recognize when there is truly bias - on the left or right. Keep putting it through that "Leftists are out to get me" filter, and you'll remain ignorant.

  1901. America first - Yeah, blame MSM for everything. Do you really think any US President could tweet what he did and it NOT be covered on the news? He tweeted it. He WANTS the message out there. Duh. And MSM has been covering these changes to the asylum laws. Furthermore, removing asylum protections is not seen by most liberals as a good thing, so your argument that MSM only wants to trash Trump doesn't make sense.

  1908. truckermax1 - It was very relevant to the comment. AOC is young and in charge of a Congressional district. Trump is old, in charge of an entire branch of government, and acts like a child constantly. Wow, you Trumpers are dumb. Are you going to tell me now that you never said you were a Trump supporter? If you think the job of a president is to screw with the opposition because his followers think it's funny, you are part of the problem.

  1910. An example of Trump's dealmaking skills: So, why does Trump suddenly want to save ZTE in China? Well, the Chinese are pumping loads of cash into Trump's Indonesian hotel project. "I love spending other peoples' money", he says. "Other people" are now the US taxpayer. He'll sell out his country in exchange for personal benefits. Back-room deals. Doubt that? Look into Kushner, Flynn, and Cohens influence peddling.
    5
  1911. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  1918. 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.
    5
  1919. 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.

  1923. Jeff Smits - Yeah. CNN will tank, Trump and his associates will escape prosecution, Trump will get a second term, and the wealth the 1% will get from the new tax law will trickle down in the form of hundred dollar bills raining from the sky. Right after pigs start flying. You don't really believe that bs, do you?
    5
  1924.  @JeffreyGoddin  - There have been groups of people who organized and called themselves ANTIFA, who have committed violent acts - VERY FEW. So few that the FBI has declared it an ideology, not a group. The MAGA crowd wants us to believe they are everywhere when they're barely anywhere. The reason for that is nobody supports them, unlike the right wing groups that actual elected officials and even the former president supports.

  1928. "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.

  1934. Remember, during the Clinton impeachment, when Republicans kept insisting that character matters? Remember when Howard Dean sunk his campaign by making a funny noise at a rally? Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  1935. I searched Youtube for a GOOD documentary about January 6th, one that would detail not just a timeline, but who was doing what and specifically where at our Capitol.

  1938. 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.

The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  1942. Murica TV 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.

  1943. Trump wrote a check off of the Trump Foundation charity account, to "donate" $25k to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, to decline to go forward with a lawsuit against his sham university. In another incident, donations were followed to a portrait of Donald Trump hanging in a country club.

  1952. Trump doesn't see past his nose. Imagine if, God forbid, his legal nonsense actually worked, and he got a second term. Then what? There would be a bunch of Biden voters infuriated that their perfectly legal votes were thrown out on BS technicalities. I know my mail-in vote was legal, on time, and by the book. I would be infuriated to know that, as Lindsey Graham wanted, my vote was discounted simply because there was a high rate of questionable signatures in my county. Then, Trump is re-inaugurated. We see light at the end of the tunnel with Biden building a team of actual, serious scientists getting ready to end this pandemic. But Trump extinguishes that light by continuing to do nothing about it except lie and complain about Democrat Governors. A newly emboldened McConnell refuses to pass an adequate relief bill. A newly emboldened Trump goes full authoritarian as Trumpers ridicule Biden for wandering in the woods, disenchanted, with Hillary Clinton. Liberal patience is GONE. Of course, when we protest, we'll be called a "mob". Trump would DEFINITELY be impeached again. For what? For SOMETHING. He is incapable of respecting the boundaries of the law. EVERY president faces fierce opposition in a second term. That steady 41% approval rating? Gone. Even the MAGA crowd would get sick of him. GW Bush left with 28% approval. Even Republicans had to admit the Iraq war was a debacle, and it wasn't because of the war alone that his numbers dropped. Trump has no interest in actually governing. He'd be rapidly aging and probably facing health problems. Even he might have a moment of clarity and realize his mortality, finding his years on Earth ticking away while he's forced to do a bunch of stuff he hates doing. He might long to escape and go enjoy his wealth while he still can. Of course, he would just refuse to do the ceremonial things and attend the "boring" meetings. He'd get especially apathetic about even trying to explain his ambiguous statements and suspicious behavior. That would lead to people turning away from him en masse. He needs to be a man for once, concede, and quit while he is ahead as much as he can be.

  1962. Edwin M - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever.

After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - During the campaign, former National Security Advisor, convicted felon, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

Both employed self described "dirty trickster", Roger Stone, who has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. Both were secretly recorded.

Mueller never sold uranium to Russia, and his testimony did not get us into the war, which was never ruled illegal. Damn, dude, if you spent half the time you spend trashing CNN reports actually learning some facts, maybe you wouldn't be such an idiot. Now, why don't you try to prove me wrong.

  1972. Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent. She just had too much baggage.

  1973. Heather Cressman - That's how it used to be here in the US. I vote regularly and I've been registered in three states (Not at the same time. Calm down, right-wingers). Until recently, my polling location has always been in walking distance and took only a few minutes. Voting hours should be longer. I had to work on election day 2016. I rushed like hell to get to the polls in the pouring rain by 6, and missed it by ten minutes. Voting should be conducted over the course of a week - including the weekend. Too much time, and the candidates are cheated out of their last minute messages, but too little time, and we can't vote. A week would give virtually everyone a chance to go on their day off...or just allow mail-in voting.

  1977. Ask anyone in the country to name the job where you get criticized the most, President of the United States would be the top answer by far. "I get attacked all the time," says our insulting, vengeful, pussy-ass, childish, whiney little lying bitch of a leader. He acts like he never watched the news before. The media is doing EXACTLY what they would do with ANY president who acts like him. He whines about SNL, for Christ's sake! He wants to be a rebel? He wants to be different? What the fuck does he expect, then? You Trump followers couldn't pass a 7th grade US History exam. You have no idea how journalism works or how government is supposed to work. And if you believe his constant lies and think he is sincere, you are terrible judges of character. You're pathetic.

  1981. Democrats need to make sure they stay out of the civil war within the Republican party. Let them destroy themselves. They'll fight among themselves until they say, "Hey, we're forgetting who the 'real enemy' is - The Democrats! How do we blame THEM for this?" Republicans only care about getting and keeping the job, but never DOING the job of governing. It's why Trump's method of exacerbating and misdirecting grievance worked so well. If Dems came up with a foolproof plan to cure cancer and bring world peace, Republicans would oppose it and try to claim it as their own before they'd ever give Dems credit.

  1983. If he had been sleeping in his car in a parking spot, he could have said he was sleeping it off. But he was in the drive through. That's DUI. It's also not very drunk. You can blow a .108 after 3 beers. My guess was that he was on opiods. That doesn't make him a bad person, but it makes him a danger to be driving. Fighting the cops, taking the tazer, and aiming it at the cops makes him a stupid person. No, the cop shouldn't have shot him, but it's not the same as crushing a handcuffed man's throat for over 8 minutes, shooting a fleeing suspect 8 times in the back who posed zero threat, blowing away someone in their car in front of their kid who announced he legally had a gun, shooting a kid with a knife surrounded by cops who are 30 feet away, or shooting a man in the stomach who was simply doing as asked and getting his ID.

Two things started the probe. 1)- The Russians were screwing with our election. 2)- The Trump team aroused suspicion by screwing around with the Russians. The dossier was the product of an oppo research firm. If the dossier was inaccurate, all that means is that the Democrats paid for an inferior product. It was in the contract that Fusion GPS clients could not ask, and would not be told how the firm obtained its information. I'd add that 1)- The Republicans hired the oppo research firm to start looking at Trump first. 2)- Trump says oppo research is okay, and even includes getting information from foreign powers as oppo research. That part is false. It is illegal.

There is no way that Don Lemon denied that the caravan existed. They do it every year. It makes no sense to deny its existence. It is obvious that the Republicans used the caravan as a campaign ploy. One Republican strategist said it was like a gift to them. Think about that - If they truly thought the caravan was a problem, why were they happy about it?

  1997. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  1998. It's cut and dry. Trump solicited election help from foreign countries, PLURAL. There doesn't have to be a quid pro quo, but there was, as evident not just on his phone call, but in text messages among his staff. After all of that shit he brought on himself over enlisting Russian help, he CONTINUES?! And gets agitated about the pushback?? Trump has to be the dumbest narcissist on the planet. WTF did he THINK was going to happen? His stupidity alone should be an impeachable offense.

  2008.  @mikee2923  They have a fact checker named Dale. I don't know his last name. He has been on regularly, and he has been very critical of the Biden Administration, even moreso than he should. You should realize that the "fake news" allegations did get to them, and some try TOO HARD to appear balanced. The simple fact is that this "bias" is a right wing talking point, and a very hypocritical one, because FOX News is extremely biased and they COORDINATED WITH TRUMP! CNN had no problem covering Andrew Cuomo, and his brother works for CNN. They don't work for the DNC. They work for sponsors, and do it by way of sensationalism. That means covering political controversy no matter what party. You need to understand how journalism works. It's full of JOURNALISTS. They don't work their way up through crappy jobs for little pay and go to school to study Murrow and Kronkite just to make the big-time to sell out their principles for a bunch of politicians. Learn the difference between FACT, OPINION and ANALYSIS. Opinions don't change facts. I don't give two craps what their opinions are. If I need context, I listen to the analysis. Narratives are NECESSARY. It's how they make sense of the raw information. It's so ironic that those who complain about media bias are the most biased of all.

  2010. Republicans use such crazy strategies that seem so doomed to backfire that I always think there must be some other, evil genius plan that we don't see. But, nope. Their strategies backfire and they double-down. Then I'm left thinking, "So, I guess they were just stupid and short-sighted after all."

And your argument is ridiculous. 9/11 was 20 years ago. It's about the biggest threat NOW. What on Earth would make that a "conspiracy theory," anyway? What "conspiracy"? And more goes into assessing a threat than the number they killed in their worst attack. Much more. Duuh.

  2019. Make two lists - 1)- Ways to improve election security, and 2)- Ways to suppress votes. Then compare them to what Republicans are doing. It's crystal clear what they're doing. It's a vicious cycle. The less popular support they have, the more they try to suppress. There's always an election around the corner, so they never want to risk losing by trying "radical" ideas like actually reaching out to voters when they can use the tried-and-true method of suppressing liberal votes - which means specifically targeting minorities who live in urban areas, which tend to vote Democrat. They might win that way, but they're still outnumbered, so they keep suppressing votes.

  2027. I really think Trump resents his country. After his business failures, he couldn't borrow from US banks. He never blames himself, so he blamed the system. Along comes Putin to lend him money. Then, he runs for president, vowing to destroy the administrative state. He won, and started giving Putin everything he's wanted. But Trump followers remain in denial.

  2028. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  2040. My theory about the Trump Tower meeting is that Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort thought the Russians might give them "dirt" in the form of a flash drive or something physical. It would explain Trump's odd statement right before the meeting: "I'm 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." But he never gave that speech because there was no flash drive. Maybe the Russians said, "Watch the news around convention time. Ambassador Kislyak will be there." (Kislyak was who Flynn discussed sanctions with, and Sessions got in trouble for denying he spoke with at the convention). It was there that a Trump associate requested ONE change to the Republican platform - To remove language that supported arming Ukraine to fight Russia. Then came the Wikileaks dumps. Mueller couldn't connect the dirt to Trump because he never had possession of it. No physical evidence. But the dirt got out, and Trump promptly started working to lift Russian sanctions. As with the Kashoggi murder, Trump said about the DNC hack, "There's really no way to prove who did it," and was curiously not upset that it happened. What's clear and not just a theory is that the meetings happened, Trump and his people lied about them, and that was plenty of reason to investigate.

Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing.

Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man.

  2068. -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.

  2069. - 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.

  2079.  @p8550  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  2080. The media didn't lie to start a probe into Russian collusion. The probe started because Trump lied about collusion with Russia. Imagine if Clinton had won, and during the campaign we knew that: - Clinton said, "Russia, if you're listening, if you can find Trump's deleted emails..." - The Russians were meddling in her favor and hacked the RNC. - Knowing about this meddling, Clinton had the DNC platform changed to favor Russia's war on Ukraine. Then, after Clinton won - but lost the popular vote, it was revealed that: - New President Clinton appointed a man to head the State Department who had received Russia's highest award for a foreigner. (This goes too deep to summarize in this post. Funny, Tillerson was one of Trump's most qualified cabinet picks - until Trump fired him the day after he publicly criticized Putin). - During the campaign, Chelsae Clinton, John Podesta, and Uma Abeden had met with Russian government surrogates to discuss trading sanction relief for dirt on Donald Trump. - Clinton's son-in-law/top advisor was working on lifting sanctions imposed for the very offense of meddling, plus those imposed for illegally invading Ukraine. - After denying ANY Russian contacts by ANY associates, it turned out that 16 of them had Russian contacts during the campaign. - One associate, a Watergate figure, and self-described "dirty trickster", bragged about contacts with the VERY HACKERS of the RNC, and the VERY WEAPONIZERS of the hacked information. - Clinton's White House Security Advisor was caught discussing sanction relief with a Russian Ambassador during the transition. - Clinton fired the FBI Director and said that she did it "because the Clinton/Rusher thing is a 'hoax'". - President Hillary Clinton continued to cast doubt on the fact that Russia meddled at all, against the findings of the FBI and CIA, and continued to resist imposing sanctions for that very meddling. - More was revealed about Clinton's financial ties to shady Russian banks known to be involved in money laundering. (The analogy gets a little crazy here, since Clinton was a New York Senator and resident. You get the point, right? Lots of Russian money is laundered through New York real estate - Trump's home state and lifelong profession). NOW, WOULDN'T YOU WANT AN INVESTIGATION?? If you say no, you are a liar! But wait, there's more...During the investigation, imagine that we found out that: - After saying she had no deals pending in Russia, Clinton was revealed to have been working on opening a huge hotel in Moscow during the campaign. - John Podesta was offering insider polling data and briefings on the campaign to a Russian intelligence officer to whom he owed money. - Podesta is convicted of multiple felonies, including Conspiracy against the United States. - Clinton's lawyer pleads guilty to multiple felonies and implicates President Clinton, herself, as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation involving bank fraud and tax evasion. The feds cite her as "Individual 1". - Clinton's disgraced National Security Advisor pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about those sanction discussions with the Russians. - Clinton's "dirty trickster" is arrested for multiple felonies. - Yet another Clinton staffer, a campaign National Security Advisor she swears was just a "coffee boy" pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about suggesting a meeting with the Russians for their help with the election. - I'll just throw out a few more names here: Carter Page, Rick Gates, Hope Hicks, Jeff Sessions...all tied to the Russia thing in varying degrees... If Mueller declined to recommend indicting Clinton - who was unindictable anyway...If Mueller declined to indict Chelsae and her husband, who President Hillary would surely pardon, WOULD YOU SAY, "NO HARM, NO FOUL. GEE, I GUESS IT REALLY WAS ALL JUST A WITCH HUNT AFTER ALL. WE OWE CLINTON AN APOLOGY"?? I didn't think so.

  2084. Giuliani has been manufacturing "dirt" on Biden with pro-Russian Ukrainians. He wants a crooked government to do a crooked investigation on a US citizen and elder statesman, and have him extradited and thrown into a Ukrainian prison. Screw Giuliani. He is under a legitimate American investigation, along with his henchmen, Lev and Igor, for doing the same thing he falsely accused Biden of - trying to stack the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

  2085. 1)- Only 51 votes were needed to avoid a shutdown without any new spending. 2)- 5 Dems crossed over, and 4 Republicans crossed over - That destroys the argument that it was all the Dems fault. 3)- Trump rescinded DACA on his own, and said the reason was only because it was by executive order and not legislated through Congress. He could have asked Congress to pass it as it was, problem solved. He CLEARLY took DACA hostage to use it as leverage. 4)- Trump could have ended DACA, but grandfathered-in those who were ALREADY in the program, and let them stay. (Mr. "Art of the Deal" doesn't know rule #1 of deal making - DON'T BREAK A DEAL!) There would have been very little Democratic resistance to that. 5)- "They have until March 5th. No hurry". Really? If you were suddenly told you today that you have six weeks to move or be evicted, would you think, "No sweat"? How about if that meant, not only having to find a new place, but to find one IN A STRANGE COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN? You're in college. You don't speak the language, know nothing about the culture, the city, etc., and you have to get a truck, find a home, maybe find a storage unit in Guatemala! 6)- McConnell himself said he couldn't even figure out what Trump wants. 7)- A deal was all but done before Trump made the most racist, insulting statement any president has made since the Civil Rights Movement. "How is putting America first racist"? Give me a break! I'd say it's politics 101 that you don't say things like that, but it wouldn't even have to be put in the fucking 101 textbook. - And Trump contradicted himself saying it was because he wanted "merit based" immigration. It is CLEARLY based on nationality to say "take them (Haitians) out", and to say you don't want to even look at the merits of Haitians and Africans! Duh. 8)- Trump said he would sign whatever the people in that meeting came up with, then flip-flopped and demanded funding for a wall he still says he wants Mexico to pay for and won't even say how Mexico will reasonably reimburse us. Holy shit, go try to get a loan from a bank talking like that, and see where it gets you! "How will I pay back this huge loan? Well, this dude, Frank owes me a bunch of money. He says he doesn't, and he really doesn't, but I have ways to nickel and dime it out of him to make my payments to you".!?!?

  2086. Biden used money as leverage with the Ukrainians IN HIS CAPACITY AS VICE PRESIDENT, per US policy, with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, in the interest and for the benefit of the United States, NOT for personal gain. Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

  2089. Yes, Trump's racist rhetoric was dangerous. There's been an up-tick in hate crimes against Asians as a direct result. But it's STUPID to use THIS CRIME in Atlanta as an example. It wasn't necessarily racist. It was misogynistic. He had bad issues with women. He targeted PROSTITUTES, not Asians. It just so happens that prostitution is done practically in the openl at Asian massage parlors. Hate crimes laws are redundant and absurd. They should be used like the death penalty - In the WORST CASES WHEN GUILT IS CERTAIN. Are we supposed to figure out the nonsensical motives of people with messed-up minds? The media could've reported the rise in attacks on Asians at any time, but they waited to seize on this flimsy, vague example. It will backfire. Right-wingers have a point. If you play "gotcha" with technicalities in peoples' every word, you're acting like Trump and his minions. There's nothing at all wrong with that cop saying the suspect "had a bad day." It IS wrong for a cop to post racist BS online that slams COVID restrictions he's duty-bound to enforce. The "PC police" make liberals like me - who draw the the line at hyper-political correctness - have to concede that point to conservatives who just fill their argument with diversions, obfuscations, and whataboutism. We should be trying to discourage bad faith debate where people won't concede a single point because it weakens their larger argument.

  2092. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

Volume 2 is an obvious roadmap for impeachment over 10 acts of OBSTRUCTION. Under DOJ guidelines, Mueller couldn't indict Trump because he is a sitting President. Over 900 former federal prosecutors have signed a document saying that if Trump wasn't President, he would be indicted. Many say that's as no-brainer.

  2105.  @GoodShepherdFilms3333  Cop - "You're reporting a theft? Who do you think might have done it?" Don - "Joe and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think it was them?" Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  2111. Once, I got into legal trouble. The cops charged me, and I was completely innocent. My case was ultimately dismissed. They saw a "slam-dunk", but I can't say they were out to get me. They didn't investigate enough. I wanted to EXPLAIN, and unlike Trump, I didn't have the tools, like Twitter, FOX News, and a billion dollars, to help me. Try making a phone call from county jail. They put me through a lot of shit I didn't deserve, but objectively, I saw that pure coincidence in the FACTS made me look bad. I didn't argue with the cops. I argued with the court. I didn't cry, "witch hunt!" People sometimes DO get screwed by malicious, unjust prosecution. I'm not naive. This is just my personal experience. OJ Simpson was guilty as sin, so he tried to discredit the investigation. OJ wasn't disadvantaged because he was black. He had an ADVANTAGE because he was a rich, football star. Same with Trump. The "deep state" isn't out to get a Republican. Mueller and the FBI have to make a strong case because he's the President, elected by the people. If Trump is so innocent, why can't he say, "I know this looks bad, but..," followed by an explanation for all of the lies, and things that the "truth" should clear up? Why won't he explain why so many of his associates lied about Russia? Why does he avoid talk of Russia like the plague, except when dismissing it as needing to "get along" with them, without any clear policy? Why hide transcripts of meetings with Putin? Why try so hard to lift sanctions on them when they attacked HIS DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, and wants to say he won the office fair and square? Why does he repeat their propaganda? Why does he OBVIOUSLY want to stop the investigations that could clear his name? Why won't he release his tax returns, especially after we found out he LIED about business with Russia? NOBODY IS UNDER ETERNAL IRS AUDIT FOR EVERY YEAR BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME! Why is he so aligned with Putin's bullshit about Afghanistan and Montenegro? Montenegro is going to start WWIII? Was that a joke? Why was he open to RUSSIANS helping us find out if RUSSIA meddled in our election..? I could go on and on about all of the KNOWN things that cause these suspicions. Calling America's free press "fake" every time does not cut it! If there's an innocent explanation, let's hear it.

  2118. This is ridiculous! Trump started the petty, losing argument that he has "saved" the economy from the non-existent failures of Obama. It's a false talking point, and it never even had to be addressed. Because of that, an endless parade of people continue to go on the news and humiliate themselves unnecessarily, all because the president has self-esteem problems. The chart is right there for all to see, yet this doofus goes on TV and desperately talks over Poppy Harlow to stop her from pointing out the obvious facts. Why bring it up at all? Then, in order to divert from his losing argument, he starts ANOTHER losing argument - that Obama raised the debt - only to be told the fact that Trump is raising it at a higher rate. Trump promised to eliminate the debt in 8 years. When his advisors told him it was projected to rise over the next 8 years, the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" said, "I don't care. I'll be gone then". His tax cuts are pure deficit spending. This is so STUPID and unnecessary.

  2119. They should at least start as n impeachment INQUIRY. Then, they get the documents and testimony that Trump and his people refuse to turn over. Put the election stuff on hold for a while. It's still early. There might not be enough Republican votes in the Senate right now, but remember, there are 20 investigations ongoing, into his charity, his tax, banking, emoluments, and business practices. There could very well be state charges on his kids he can't pardon away. Maybe, finally, Republicans will get rid of him themselves so they have a chance to keep the White House in 2021 with another candidate. Dems must SIEZE THE NARRATIVE!

  2127. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to "avoid panic." Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but it's okay to let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced back to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off our guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what we want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's a Republican, even if he's an habitual liar. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. We support the middle class. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

Republicans are fond of calling teachers' unions "terrorist groups", and 3)- Isn't the fact that Trump is in office a clear sign that our education system is failing?

  2140. You people don't understand what went on with the DNC. They were broke. They were in no position to properly support anyone. Clinton bailed them out, and rightfully so, wanted some control over how they ran things. The agreement was that her control would be limited in the PRIMARY, not the general election, because obviously she might be able to bias the DNC towards herself and disadvantage Sanders. She saved the DNC, giving WHOEVER had won the primary - Sanders or herself - the normal, fighting chance to win the general election. If she hadn't bailed them out, Sanders probably would have lost against Trump. Any rigging that was done in the PRIMARY is in the details of scheduling debates and funding (with Clinton's own money) during the primary. Clinton may have crossed some lines there. Those details have not even been reported by FOX News, and you "See, Clinton, not Trump rigged the election!" parrots are absurd. It's not a binary thing. What Clinton did within her party was not illegal and has NOTHING to do with Trump rigging the ACTUAL GENERAL ELECTION with Russia, which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. Trump saying the Justice Department has ANY right to investigate is absurd. A party can do whatever it wants. The DNC could've named Pit Bull as its candidate. The RNC had every right to sell the nomination to Ted Nugent if they wanted. I really doubt any of you "What about Hillary!" idiots even care about the details or the truth. You hear Donna Brazile said "rigged", and you get a hard-on. NOTHING the Democrats may have done even starts to remotely compare to a general election campaign colluding left and right with the Russians to run a huge disinformation campaign against his own country, so GET A GRIP!

  2143. There are people Trump is going after, and is happy to have his followers go after viciously. There are career lawmakers and former administration officials like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Former presidents of his own country like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. There are career law enforcement and intelligence people like Comey, McCabe, and Brennan. People who brought down Gotti and bin Laden. Non-partisan public servants and diplomats. People who have attended top secret briefings and war room meetings. And you've got Donald Trump, with no respect for them, and with no prior experience in ANY government agency or office. He's never been a mayor or a county clerk. And he calls those people "leftist, deep state operatives" who should be tried for treason. Then, you've got career Republican lawmakers. He's their man. He gives them what they want, but still, he's an outsider who never put in a day of work in their field before becoming their leader. And they just LET him come in and take over? They let him smear and attack their colleges and elder statesmen with such disrespect and apathy? WTF are they thinking??

  2144. apple pie - Trump is doing the very same thing in Ukraine he is accusing Biden of, so do you want to call it legal or illegal? Right or wrong? Either Biden is innocent or Trump is also guilty. Which do you prefer? You can't have it both ways.

  2145. Josey Wales - Sure. The "leftist deep state" is in control, even though the Republicans control the White House and Senate, and Conservatives have a majority on the Supreme Court. They're so powerful, yet they allow Republicans to win half of all elections and represent a majority of the population through gerrymandering. Do you even understand how absurd it would be for a "deep state" to be aligned with one political party? You are an oblivious conspiracy theorist.

  2148. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  2149. I used to be opposed to imprisoning elder statesmen, even a criminal like Trump. I hope he loses every penny to fines and lawsuits, but locking him up would look horrible to the rest of the world, and send a bad message to our citizens. It's too divisive and banana republic-like. I agreed with the Nixon pardon. I didn't like W Bush, Cheney or the Iraq war, but trying them for war crimes is going too far. It's a situation where some justice has to take a back seat to avoiding damage to the country. But now I think if he's convicted of a felony, it will damage the country if he ISN'T locked up. He's told two AGs to investigate Hillary Clinton, again, for something his own staff have done. He ousted practically every top FBI agent, accused them of treason, and said they should get 50 years. Think about this: Trump was impeached for leveraging Ukraine for election help by having them investigate Joe Biden and his family. For personal, political reasons, he's willing to send a former Vice President and long-time Senator to a Ukrainian prison. He wanted Ukraine - a country he said was corrupt - to investigate a US citizen and American elder statesman. He wants his rival probed by a crooked foreign country - based on NO evidence of a crime. It's way beyond dirty politics. That's someone on a war footing. In 2016, I thought "lock her up" was just an election gimmick, but Trump is really using the DOJ to go after Hillary. Lock HIM up. I hope he loses the election and gets jailed on federal charges. He'll be on a prison phone, dictating tweets to Hannity trashing President Biden while demanding a pardon from him. And I hope Biden actually gives him one - on his last day in office in 4-8 years.

Then Trump teased McCabe on Twitter about "racing the clock before retirement", then fired him a day before said retirement, denying his pension. Truly deplorable.

  2162. Trump is basically saying he doesn't think we'll be over COVID by November. Why is it safe to open schools now, but not the polls in November? If election security is compromised because of a prolonged pandemic, why is he not calling for a plan to fix the problems? Why is he unconcerned about foreign interference? Shouldn't he call for Republicans to pass the election security bills they keep rejecting? He wants $2 billion in the stimulus bill to keep the DC FBI building in Washington, so competition with his hotel won't move in. Why not call for funds to secure absentee voting since he thinks it's so corrupt? If he thinks the pandemic will be around for so long, why isn't he acting like it? Mail-in voting IS absentee voting. The reason for being absent IS THE PANDEMIC. So, deal with the pandemic! Trump has already raised the possibility of a contested election result being litigated in court "frankly, for years." It's not a joke. He has given EVERY INDICATION that he will say the election was rigged if he loses. He did it last time WHEN HE WON! Trump followers need to wake up. I'm so sick of this crap where they ignore threats to our democracy just because they favor their side. They know damn well they would be outraged if the president was a Democrat.

  2182. Watching the Trump presidency is like watching Jerry Springer. I know it will always be the same mind-numbingly stupid crap. Sometimes it's kind of funny, but it just shows how stupid our society has become. I sure couldn't stand to watch it more than once in a blue moon, but his loyal fan base can't get enough. It's the same with those ridiculous reality game shows like The Apprentice. I never once watched it, and I was only even aware of it from skipping past it with the remote control. Did his followers watch it every day and never get sick of it?

  2183. Trump often complains that his words are misunderstood. He should learn to better articulate. How many times have you heard his associates say, "I think what the President MEANT was..," and then blame liberals and the media for misunderstanding? Or said he was "joking" about things he's OBVIOUSLY not joking about? At the Helsinki summit, he said we should have known that he meant to say, "I don't see why it WOULDN'T have been Russia (who attacked our election)," instead of "WOULD." Well, you'd have to be an idiot to not know what his position is. Does any reasonable person think he was really joking about not wanting COVID testing because the numbers make him look bad? He was joking every one of the dozens of times he had said it before? We know what his position is. How about his being "sarcastic" about asking Russia to find Hillary's emails? Does he even know what "sarcasm" means? Later, he would make it clear that his position was that it's okay to solicit foreign election help. Think he was joking when he openly asked China to help him win? When he said it was okay for voters to vote twice if it was in his favor? When he said he would pardon DHS staff for breaking eminent domain laws? His supporters cry, "the media lies" without being able to cite anything but the rare media mistake, but excuse his 19,000 lies. They claim that we just don't understand them, so help us understand. Tell us, Trump fans, why do you abandon all reason and common sense for him?

  2184. 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.

  2187. So, we're supposed to believe that in 2016, the DNC cheated in California: - Clinton was sure to win California. Trump expected to lose the general election. - Citizens don't like to vote, but illegals will risk jail and deportation to do it? - Hispanics vote Republican at about the same rate as the general population. - It would require a MASSIVE fake ID manufacturing scam, yet NO fake IDs were found. - A fake ID scam would require a MASSIVE money laundering operation, for which no evidence was found. - Trump formed a voter fraud commission that found nothing. - Trump complains that this "fraud" robbed him of 3 million votes. Funny how that's the same number of votes by which he lost the popular vote. Accusations of voting for dead people are EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS and futile. Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. - In 2016, Trump told his voters to vote twice, and that it was okay to cheat in HIS favor. - He says it's okay to accept foreign government election help, and has solicited it from no fewer than 3 countries. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. Now, here he goes again.

What measures do you think we should have taken? None? Just ignore it as the health care system gets overwhelmed, 2.2 million Americans die, and the economy crashes?

Think about how many $500 checks would have to be written, and in how many states to make a difference. The money would have to be laundered. So, someone gets paid...Then what? How did they "vote" illegally? Counterfeit ballots? Those ballots CORRESPOND TO A NUMBER AND THE NAME OF A REGISTERED VOTER. If you're saying people were paid to legally vote for Biden instead of Trump, how would they find these people willing to do that without being reported? THINK. That is absurd.

  2201. - 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.

  2203. 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.

  2204. There are people Trump is going after, and is happy to have his followers go after viciously. There are career lawmakers and former administration officials like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Former presidents of his own country like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. There are career law enforcement and intelligence people like Comey, McCabe, and Brennan. People who brought down Gotti and bin Laden. Non-partisan public servants and diplomats. People who have attended top secret briefings and war room meetings. And you've got Donald Trump, with no respect for them, and with no prior experience in ANY government agency or office. He's never been a mayor or a county clerk. And he calls those people "leftist, deep state operatives" who should be tried for treason. Then, you've got career Republican lawmakers. He's their man. He gives them what they want, but still, he's an outsider who never put in a day of work in their field before becoming their leader. And they just LET him come in and take over? They let him smear and attack their colleges and elder statesmen with such disrespect and apathy? WTF are they thinking??

  2205.  @josephcamhi5676  - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  2207. BB Sal - WHO is being "let off charges"? So you think prosecutors are in on some liberal plot, too? They were charged with what they did. Duh. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He attacked his own, loyal VP on Twitter as the mob searched for him.

  2208. I'm a liberal who votes Democrat 90% of the time, but if Trump was a Democrat - EVEN IF HE CHAMPIONED DEMOCRATIC CAUSES - I'd be going out of my skull. I'd write-in independent candidates for the rest of my life. Trump followers are blindly biased tribalists. We're supposed to reserve that kind of devotion for our hometown football team. I expect the mothers of credibly accused criminals to swear up and down that their kids are innocent. Trump followers are like Catholic bishops who protect pedophile priests. Like police chiefs who protect dirty cops. The hypocrisy is INSANE! Half of Trump's campaign staffers were reaching-out to the Russian government, but HILLARY COLLUDED with Russia?? Trump bears NO responsibility for his rhetoric, and for directly, LITERALLY endorsing violence, but they'll accuse the left of inciting violence?? Character mattered when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, but they give Trump a blank check?? Obama "ruined the country" by raising the national debt, but Trump putting the deficit into the TRILLIONS to give the 1% a tax break is just fine?? Lying (miscalculating) the benefits of the ACA made Obama an insufferable liar, but it's okay if Trump lies about EVERYTHING?? They don't care that Trump is FLAT-OUT LYING about protecting pre-existing condition protections?? The news is "fake" when they show video of Trump, himself, in the flesh, saying stupid and offensive things?? Trump followers are indistinguishable from cult members and Russian propaganda trolls.

  2209. Trump is desperate to keep a job he has no interest in doing. He's in his 70s and has more money than he could ever spend for the remainder of his life, but wants to spend his golden years working in a government he thinks is crooked among crooked people. He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.

If he's so sensitive about those criticisms, why does he say the exact things he hates being criticized for? He said his trip wasn't going to be a photo op, and he produced a promotional video! He slammed Dems for politicizing, and did nothing but tweet political attacks the whole time. This is not some mischarictarization by the media. This is who he is.

  2212. I used to be like Trump. I thought I could look at a problem and automatically know the solution without knowing the facts because I was naturally gifted and born with wisdom. Others were always responsible for my problems. I was 16. Youth and hormones. What's Trump's excuse?

  2217.  @tboned5641  - "The" audit? You know there have been several legitimate audits, right? Why would we believe the fraudit results when CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  2221. Trump wants Barr to investigate the "oranges" of the Russia probe, which was based on very reasonable suspicion, namely, that Trump and his people LIED THEIR ASSES OFF about contacts with Russians. The Mueller probe started because Trump created REASONABLE SUSPICION by firing Comey while inexplicably refusing to hold Russia accountable for meddling in our election. Trump insists the Mueller probe was legitimate enough to exonerate him, but at the same time, an illegitimate "witch hunt". And yet, Trump wants to investigate Joe Biden, his biggest political threat, even by sending his lawyer to a foreign country for dirt, with NO REASONABLE SUSPICION WHATSOEVER. Get it, you moronic Trump cultists?? You are being played, and you are fucking hypocrites!

  2222. The Executive Branch is being run by Donald Trump, his son-in-law, his daughter, and Stephen Miller. Together, they had a combined total of ZERO years of government experience, and except for Trump, none was over 40 when they came in. This should bother everyone.

  2227. Trump says border facilities are much better than they were under Obama. False. Under Obama, there were far fewer juvenile detainees. Now, they are 10 TIMES over capacity. Under Obama, they were there for less time, and had soap, toothpaste, and beds. Trump told reporters that "A lot of those children come from places you don't even want to know about", referring to bad conditions in their home countries. No, Mr. Trump, YOU don't want to know about it. Trump has set up for-profit facilities that charge $700 A DAY PER DETAINEE. You can stay at the Motel 6 for $60 a day, and you get all the soap and towels you need, a clean bed, and a shower, plus much more. He wants Democrats to give him more money? To sign a Republican bill? So he can then blame Democrats for the conditions like he blames Obama? Like he blames Dems now?? Trump is an appalling, lying piece of shit.

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.

They put out false information about how to vote. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it would have swung the election. They funnelled cash to the Trump camp via the NRA. They used tactics they've been refining for decades. Think they'd do it if it didn't work? It wasn't just screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted, code-named operation.

  2244. Brian Jones Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

Trump had to deflect from his shady dealings with Russia, so true to form, he projected that it was actually his accusers doing what he was guilty of and China was the natural choice because of that pre-existing (also BS) talking point about us all being socialists (even though most Dems are moderates and conservatives). Funny how the MAGA crowd started defending Putin and most were too ignorant to know that Putin wanted his Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics back.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

Manafort had been a lobbyist for Putin. He helped install a crooked, pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. - During the 2016 campaign, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

He lied about his compensation and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People, (especially illegals), don't like to vote. It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, folks tend to think their individual vote counts even less. If anything, Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. That there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" numbers were? Do you think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? How many points? Even independent pollsters whose existence depends on a record of accuracy? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Donald Trump actually did pay for fake online polls. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd be just fine with it, huh? And yes, he did do all if those things I listed and most of them he did in plain sight, so before you ask me "Where's the evidence," the answer is it's right in front of us, and you can't blame "fake news" because they didn't lie about any if it.

  2294. - The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever.

With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to giving military aid to Ukeaine. 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. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort and candidate Trump publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 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 involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was running for president. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - 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 infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - 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 to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

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.

It just doesn't make sense that...the Chinese as part of their "hoax"? George Soros? Whoever you think is bribing them...could pay off 98 PERCENT of the world's climate scientists in all those countries. It's absurd! Know who apparantly isn't bribable? The US military. NASA, (the people who land probes on comets). Do you think they got to Neil DeGrasse Tyson, too? Greedy bastard! Doesn't he make enough money? And I guess since all the rest are also on the liberals' payroll, they won't call him out on it. Get real.

  2307. QUESTION: "What racist/bigoted things has Trump said?" ANSWER: His "shithole" comment. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - About how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He has repeatedly refused to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called illegal Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He condescends to black people on a regular basis. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He hired two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute - a hate group). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He nicknamed Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". His birther nonsense about Obama's birthplace. His NFL bullshit. He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites...and I'm including all forms of social bigotry here. I know the difference between a race, a religion, and a nation. Think about it - He is the president, and after being told that his actions and words are considered offensive, HE REPEATS THE SAME BEHAVIOR! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? It is reported that after his shithole comments, he is PROUD OF THEM. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms that he rejects their support?! Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! They wouldn't have to be told. A fucking tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country".??? If you aren't a bigot yourself, would you be okay with hate groups crowning you their leader??? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a lawyer couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is about PERCEPTION, and these are fair criticisms. I am Jewish. We have seen this shit before - Germany, in the 1930's!! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot WOULDN'T want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a fucking BIGOT! HE PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is OBVIOUS!

  2313. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  2315. 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.

  2316. 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.

  2325. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has an acronym, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.

But any baseless, nonsensical conspiracy theory he throws out there should be investigated, right?

I can't blame Comey for making an honest mistake. I can blame Putin, but I can't say it was unexpected. I can't even blame the simple folks who were conned by Trump. Trump and his Republican lawmaker enablers, however... words can't describe.

  2331.  Free Man  - Why shouldn't we automatically believe the media? With the FACTS, yes. They're over 99% accurate with the facts. For years, we've been hearing "Fake new! Fake news! They lie ALL THE TIME!" When I ask for an example, 98% of the time, it's crickets. 1% of the time, it's not even a lie, but an opinion they CALL a lie, and the other 1% is "The Covington kid", which was not a lie but a mischaracterization...But every once in a blue moon, someone remembers that Brian Williams lied about something like 15 years ago. It's very often Trump supporters, so anyone who excuses his constant lying while accusing the media is clearly in the cult. Then, there's that BS about faking reports on green screens that never happened. So, the Covington kid. That's IT. Most people who cry "fake news" don't even know the difference between fact, opinion and analysis. They just don't like the tone they hear. They don't even listen. They call us "biased", which is pure projection. ...Oh, my favorite - "Russian collusion. They lied and said Trump colluded with Russia!" Then I ask, "Who said that? When?" and they can't answer. The media reported many, many stories related to that scandal. The facts were always accurate. Only an idiot would say "They lied and said he colluded with Russia!" What, and reported that as a fact? Anyone who says that doesn't even know how to simply watch the news. And by the way, he DID collude with Russia. Collusion means cooperation. He did that. But even so, it just doesn't even compute that a news outlet would just come on air with " Breaking News! Trump colludes with Russia," without any SUBSTANCE. A lot of the "fake news" crowd really believes that the press are omniscient, and already KNOW the truth about everyone who is conspiring, scheming or lying. Yeah, because when crooks want to keep a secret, they tell the media! It's pure stupidity.

  2334. Tapper is probably right. But it's interesting that Bannon hasn't denied what he said, so that part is accurate. And about Trump being seen as childish, dumb and disorganized - Duh. We've heard that all before from many other sources. For one thing, he RESPONDED to it by acting stupid and using a childish nickname for Bannon. Just the fact that Wolff duped them into accepting him into the White House says something.

  2337. The FBI uncovers a major plot to kidnap a governor, and THE PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY ATTACKS THE GOVERNOR and echoes the terrorists' demands. This is outrageous! Just over a week ago, he called for militants to interfere in the election. Remember his "2nd Amendment people" comment in 2016? Now, he's calling for the AG to indict his current opponent. And what's this radical, horrible thing that Governor Whitmer did? She had the nerve to follow federal guidelines to stop a deadly pandemic and promote public health. Have we become so numb to Trump's BS that we can't see how dangerous he is?

  2340. A case against the wall - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms - for cheap. It's because of our wealth. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success", except it's not a bullshit excuse for poor war planning. - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall because they're beset on all sides by terrorists who want to kill Jews. We only have two political borders. The 9/11 terrorists came in legally. They boarded planes and bought box cutters legally. Geography has been good to the US. - Spanish women are hot. If you were a bouncer at a club, you'd let them in, right? - In Europe, you can't go a few hundred miles without being somewhere the locals speak another language. Spanish is pretty close to English, which is rooted in Latin. The US isn't on the metric system because we have the size, geography, and power to say, "Screw that. We're not changing all of those road signs". Again, "catastrophic success", but this isn't a catastrophe or a national emergency. I'd like to keep ALLIES on our borders...But keep an eye on those shady Canadians. (Seriously. Putin is building military bases up North, and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house in Alaska). - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - To the xenophobes and fundamentalist Christians - Earth isn't 6000 years old. It's settled science. Think on a larger scale. Interbreeding is good. It breeds-out diseases. It opens the mind. That wall in Israel will eventually be torn apart by tectonic plates that don't care what you call "holy land". The human race rose long after the dinosaurs died - in Africa. Yes, we're all part black. Global warming is also settled science, so darker skin just might help the species survive. - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - Legal weed should be part of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They spray that crumbly, brown shit with pesticides that even Trump won't de-regulate. The "sin tax" on weed, paid by grateful potheads, would pay for his wall faster than anything we could skim from the USMCA. - "It's no fun being an illegal alien" - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If the government was serious about keeping "them" out, it would crack-down on the employers. Why don't they? (Money and special interests). - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Donald Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back".

  2343. One thing the Republicans are a lot better at than the Democrats is messaging. Dems suck at it. Republicans can get the Right to believe the craziest lies and parrot the most illogical nonsense. Dems have the truth on their side and don't know how to disseminate it. They say a lie can get around the world before the truth can get out of the driveway... or something akin to that. So the ignorant MAGA crowd has "Let's go Brandon!" Well, how about "IF BIDEN DID IT..?" Virtually EVERYTHING we criticized Donald Trump for, they fiercely defended. But THEY KNOW and WE ALL KNOW that if Biden had done it or Biden had said it, they would have been outraged. I've asked them that question many, many times, and NOT ONE has ever had the nerve to say they'd have been okay with Biden (or Obama or Clinton) acting exactly like Trump - habitually lying, secret meetings with Russian intelligence, lying about COVID, attempting a coup...just to name a few. There are literally THOUSANDS. What you will get is "Why are you still talking about Trump?" That's a ridiculous talking point for many reasons. Let them say that again when Trump concedes the election or when they support the January 6th Commission. IF BIDEN DID IT..? It should be on bumper stickers.

  2344. Is it because Trump used the slogan, "drain the swamp", you cult followers think he, himself, can't possibly be crooked? Is that it? His cabinet is as crooked as a barrel of snakes. Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt, Tom Price, Rob Porter, and Mike Flynn were ousted in scandal. Ben Carson is under suspicion. Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates pleaded guilty to felonies. Just wait and see how it goes with Don Jr, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Jarred Kushner, and Ivanka Trump. Hell, even Eric "Short Bus" Trump is being looked at for charity fraud. "All the best people", right?

  2345.  @Claw100Minecraft  Yes, I know Clinton was impeached over one lie about hos sex life, and HABITUAL LIAR, Trump, who lied about details in both impeachments, just not under oath, was NOT impeached over a phobe call and a speech. Those were only small parts of the extortion and incitement. If Trump had been Obama and done the sane thing, would you defend him? Of course not. Your argument is RIDICULOUS.

  2347.  @Dj_Absent  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  2371. Trump takes seriously "what a lot of people are talking about." What "people are talking about" to him is largely what he reads on Twitter. He blocks those who disagree with him, and they talk about what he puts out there. That's a hell of a feedback loop! He can promote a conspiracy theory on Twitter. The Twitterverse talks about it. FOX News and Russian trolls talk about it. Then, it must have validity because "a lot of people are saying." It's ironic that the MAGA crowd goes on and on about brainwashing, bias, lying, and propaganda. It's projection on steroids.

  2372. Pat Mahinie - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  2377. Most people get news in video form, TV and internet. Even the big newspapers are online now. The major outlets are CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, BBC, NYT, WaPo...and then there's FOX News. It's not "left" vs "right". It's MAINSTREAM vs ALTERNATIVE. If I'm 10 ft. to the right of a group of 8 people, the center is 5 ft. away, but the center of gravity is closer to the group. FACTS aren't partisan. To single out CNN as some kind of political brainwash operation is absurd because ALL outlets report the SAME FACTS. FOX argues that MSM leans left, and that they're just balancing it out by leaning right, but that's a false equivalency. There is left and right in the political spectrum. There is more and less newsworthy in the news spectrum. MSM picks stories based on ratings. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one ideology. I don't know why editorial departments endorse candidates. I wish they wouldn't. I think it's a practice from a less partisan age. But they don't work for the DNC or the CIA. They work for corporate sponsors. Journalists get into the business to expose truth. They don't pass on outing a crooked Senator because he's a Democrat. If CNN won't report it, CBS will. It's a competitive field...unless you're FOX News, which has virtually no competition. I try to extract the fact from the noise. The analysis is there as a guide so you can digest stories you might not understand. Criticizing the outlet too much is like blaming your phone for what people say on it. There's so much of that "kill the messenger" mentality out there.

You've got to be fucking kidding! Imagine if it was Hillary Clinton. You'd say, "no evidence"?

  2381. This is 6th grade, simple math that even Donald Trump could do, (Well, with a calculator). Trump went into the election polling around 42%. Biden had around 53%. Trump never had a day with over 49% approval in 4 years. He didn't have enough voters in the country to win as long as Dems turned-out, and they did. Dems turned-out to unseat the inept, habitual liar who had lied about the deadly pandemic we were suffering, and who spent 4 years insulting us, saying we were communists who hated America and wanted to destroy it. Any questions?

Isn't that ironic?

  2384. At this point, anyone who defends Trump and his ilk is at least one of four things: 1- A Russian troll. 2- A lawyer for Trump. 3 - A FOX News employee, (Even some of them can't defend him). 4 - Among the dumbest, most naive fools on the planet.

  2386. It's crazy for Trumpers to blame the media for divisions in America since 2016. Reporting on conflict is a big part of their JOB. Did Trump expect them to bow to him as he chanted the Stalin term, "enemy of the people"? I thought he was supposed to be good at playing the media? It's wrong to steal cars, but do you park one in the dark in a bad neighborhood? He NEVER reached across the aisle. He treated half the country as an enemy. It's why he never broke 50% approval. He coordinated with FOX News' divisive rhetoric, blamed blue states for their crisis, repeated Russian propaganda, slammed his predecessors, insulted allies, used terms such as "alien" and "kung flu", balked at the idea of compromise, and stoked a civil war within his party for which Republicans are now desperate to blame Democrats. Trump is CLEARLY the most divisive figure in American history, and Republicans fully embraced him.

  2391. Eucharist Angel Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  2395. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  2397. Trump doesn't see past his nose. Imagine if, God forbid, his legal nonsense actually worked, and he got a second term. Then what? There would be a bunch of Biden voters infuriated that their perfectly legal votes were thrown out on BS technicalities. I know my mail-in vote was legal, on time, and by the book. I would be infuriated to know that, as Lindsey Graham wanted, my vote was discounted simply because there was a high rate of questionable signatures in my county. Then, Trump is re-inaugurated. We see light at the end of the tunnel with Biden building a team of actual, serious scientists getting ready to end this pandemic. But Trump extinguishes that light by continuing to do nothing about it except lie and complain about Democrat Governors. A newly emboldened McConnell refuses to pass an adequate relief bill. A newly emboldened Trump goes full authoritarian as Trumpers ridicule Biden for wandering in the woods, disenchanted, with Hillary Clinton. Liberal patience is GONE. Of course, when we protest, we'll be called a "mob". Trump would DEFINITELY be impeached again. For what? For SOMETHING. He is incapable of respecting the boundaries of the law. EVERY president faces fierce opposition in a second term. That steady 41% approval rating? Gone. Even the MAGA crowd would get sick of him. GW Bush left with 28% approval. Even Republicans had to admit the Iraq war was a debacle, and it wasn't because of the war alone that his numbers dropped. Trump has no interest in actually governing. He'd be rapidly aging and probably facing health problems. Even he might have a moment of clarity and realize his mortality, finding his years on Earth ticking away while he's forced to do a bunch of stuff he hates doing. He might long to escape and go enjoy his wealth while he still can. Of course, he would just refuse to do the ceremonial things and attend the "boring" meetings. He'd get especially apathetic about even trying to explain his ambiguous statements and suspicious behavior. That would lead to people turning away from him en masse. He needs to be a man for once, concede, and quit while he is ahead as much he's going to be.

  2400. The FBI is NOT FULL OF POLITICIANS. Think about it - Who works for the FBI? COPS. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to become political idealists. They want to bust drug dealers, murderers, mafia thugs and money launderers. That's the nature of the business. They don't get into. Politics got into them when they had to deal with a perfect storm of having to make decisions about two unpopular presidential candidates who were both under investigation - both for good reason - during an election year. And if you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans, at least half. Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller and McCabe are all Conservatives. If Trump was so great, and appealed to enough Conservative Republicans to get elected, why is it such a stretch to believe members of the conservative-leaning FBI wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with Liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Sure, Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass, saying controversial things during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might settle down and "pivot" once he got elected. We thought he might not end up lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every single day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal" FBI shit is nonsense.

Since it is such a common mistake, I don't think it makes someone a total fucking moron, or whatever you called the original poster, when they make it. It isn't nearly as dumb as the ivy league educated President not knowing "there" from "they're", or not knowing how to spell "smoke"...or thinking "Scott Free" is a proper name. And Trump founded a university! Oh yeah, it was a sham. By the way, if you're going to split hairs, you should proof read your own posts. Just glancing, I saw a typo.

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.

  2423. Let's not forget Trump's "Second Amendment people" remark about Hillary. Last week, there was a racially motivated shooting at that garlic festival. This shooter in El Paso called immigrants "invaders". Trump repeats that Stalin term "enemy of the people", and news outlets get threats from nut jobs using that phrase. Charlottesville. The MAGA bomber. The National Policy Institute was saying "Hail Trump" while imitating the Nazi salute in Washington, right after his election. RACIAL HATE GROUPS SAY TRUMP SUPPORTS THEM! What's he doing about it? Don't tell me he denounced them. Apparently not strongly enough. If he spent a fraction of the time he spends on Twitter saying he doesn't speak for them as he does spewing bigoted garbage, they might get the message. But he just keeps it up, and then gaslights his critics.

Trump started cramming them full as a matter of policy, while unable to handle the numbers. Border control is an endless struggle, and Donald "I can fix everything in 15 minutes" Trump doesn't get it. Those caravans have been around for years, too. They do it to bring awareness to the conditions they come from, and most don't even plan to ask for asylum. Of the ones who do, very few are let in anyway. And yes, the vast majority of asylum seekers DO show up for their hearings, and seeking asylum is LEGAL.

  2429. Biden OBVIOUSLY didn't think or expect us to believe there are more Chinese retirees than workers. "There are more people retired" was clearly to say there are more than there used to be. It was vague wording. Those saying they're shocked that CNN would fact-check a Dem don't see that they try HARDER to criticize Dems in a futile attempt to quiet that criticism and prove they're being fair. Media should just do their job! They'll never stop hypocrites like Hannity from crying "liberal bias." He'll always call CNN a mob in bed with Dems, no matter how much they report negative things about Biden or Cuomo. Yes, Biden got the other things wrong. He needs to tighten it up. But they weren't attempts to deceive. It was bad fact checking by Biden, himself. It's still a far cry from the habitual, deliberate lying by the last guy.

  2430. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout.

  2431. Yeah. What if it was Clinton, and Chelsae Clinton, John Podesta, and Huma Abedin had met with a foreign government to get dirt on Trump for sanction relief... and Chelsea had changed her story 3 times in 4 days. The Republicans would have the torches lit and the pitchforks sharpened!

  2432. Jason Olsen - Forgotten? It's a centerpiece of the Mueller probe. Do you honestly think Trump can gaslight this away? The "deep state" sure didn't make these people take this meeting. You really think this is no cause for suspicion?

"And when you're talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over." "covfefe" "I've always liked American wine better than French wine...even though I don't drink wine. I like the way it looks." (Immediately after a refugee told Trump her family was murdered) "So, where is your family now?" (After mistakenly calling Tim Cook "Tim Apple") "I said it that way to save time."

  2436. Tiber Zeek - Who are all of these Democrats who lied to Congress and investigators that merit prosecution? Witch hunts? Like looking into Bill Clinton's past land deals in Arkansas, finding nothing, and still going after him for lying about marital infidelity? 9 Benghazi hearings where the premise was never made clear? Trump's voter fraud commission? Having Ukraine look into actions Joe Biden took as VP that were backed by everyone, including the Republicans? Having Ukraine look into THEIR OWN supposed meddling in 2016, a Russian conspiracy theory that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever? Or are you referring to the Russia "witch hunt", where 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts, where Trump PUBLICLY ASKED the Russians to meddle in our election and it turned out they did just that, and where Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief? Yeah, how dare the FBI and the American people get suspicious and want answers for that! Especially when it would turn out that Trump was also lying about a real estate deal in Moscow while he knew the Russians were attacking our systems! And no, not suspicious at all that Trump subsequently sided with Russians over the CIA, and refuses to do anything to safeguard or elections!

  2437. 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.

  2440. Don't be so literal about a commentary. The sentiment they were expressing was obviously that we should be better than that. Many are better than that, and they're speaking to a wide range of people. It isn't about anyone somehow declaring we are defined a certain way as a country, and who would have the authority anyway?
    4
  2441. On Bill Maher's show, Jim Carrey said, "There are generations growing up who are learning to hate half the country". True dat. And it's the Republicans who embrace that war-footing mentality. It's our enemies' wet dream. Napolean said, "Divide and conquer". What's better than your enemies dividing themselves? It's part of Putin's plan.

  2442. The Trump presidency is the result of our sub-par education system. He is there because his base is poorly educated. The Dems should make education their main issue in the mid-terms. If Republicans want to say they are for it more, the Dems could remind us that Republicans have refered to teachers unions as terrorist groups. It isn't hard to show how Trump, himself, is uneducated. Despite the fact that he went to Yale, he can't spell "they're". His base is grossly ignorant. Just read these comments from Trump supporters if you doubt that. I also think education as an issue could get women on board. I'd bet that more women are planning to vote Democrat in November already because of the new threat to Roe v. Wade, they hate Betsy DeVos, and the Trump has been regularly making misogynist statements for 2 years now. Our education system is obviously very flawed and under-funded.

  2445. The only problem with BLM is its PR strategy. MLK did it right. Of course it was about discrimination of minorities, but he made the message about ALL people. BLM should drop the B.

  2448. Houston Texas - What does that even mean? "China admitted he was one of them"? The nation of China said Joe Biden was theirs? If "Russia" said" (to use your terminology) Trump was one of theirs...and members of the Russian government actually did...what would you say? Something like, "So? Just because they said it, Trump has to own it?" And what does "he's one if us" even MEAN? That they can WORK WITH BIDEN? Trump wouldn't shut up about how working with Russia was such a good thing. By the way, I am far from being a leftist. You are a complete idiot.

  2449. Colt'sNation - He also said, "I love you. You're special," and reaffirmed that he thought the election was stolen. After the plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan, he echoed the demands of the terrorists. He was right there when Rudy Giuliani said "trial by combat". His son said they should wage war. He told the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by"... Either you know damn well he speaks in dog whistles and doublespeak or you are incredibly naive and hopelessly biased. Enough of the gaslighting. You insult everyone else's intelligence as well as your own.

  2459.  jack daniels  Why does Russia want Trump? Well, first, Putin wanted anyone who was against Clinton. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters for killing US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "a hoax." - Trump inexplicably pulled a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. All others comprised the remaining 1%). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Michael Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  2460.  jack daniels  China wants Trump in power. They can manipulate him. They can bribe him. He approved of their concentration camps. He caved on Hong Kong. His trade war is a failure - nothing but an import tax on US companies. When Trump tells you China is helping Biden, don't believe it. Don't believe that absurd lie about Biden somehow taking a BILLION DOLLAR Chinese bribe. Biden wants to ACTUALLY move manufacturing back to the US, not just lie about it like Trump is doing.

  2461.  jack daniels  There was absolutely no wrongdoing found with the Clinton Foundation. However, the Trump Foundation was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality." He was using his charity as a slush fund.

  2463. jack daniels - Hell yeah, we're pissed about Trump talking about posrponing the election! He has authoritarian tendencies, and his excuse for it us pure BS. And no, he is NOT "joking." He has been whining about a "rigged system" for 4 years now, saying Dems cheat, WHEN HE SAID IT IS OKAY TO CHEAT IN HIS FAVOR AND THAT SOLICITING FOREIGN ELECTION HELP IS OKAY. If it waddles and quacks, it's a duck.

  2466. Just like Trump, Mr. Technicality, always leaving just enough reasonable doubt - about his racist remarks. About admitting the Russians attacked the election... We let it go, but then HE KEEPS DOING IT over and over again! Once, even twice, might be his inability to articulate, (See, the topic is race, but nobody would question my use of the word as racist), but repeatedly? Coupled with his ACTIONS and obvious lack of SINCERITY? Trump sure was reluctant to condemn the neo-Nazis after Charlottesville. If it was me, nobody would have to tell me to write a tweet strongly saying, "Hate groups, I do not want your support or your vote!" I wouldn't sleep knowing those hate groups SAY THAT HE SUPPORTS THEM! And there would be no question in ANYONE'S MIND that I believed the Russians attacked our election. But there's Trump - AFTER HELSINKI - just days ago, tweeting, "... If it was Russia", and repeating that, "Could be China" bullshit. I call bullshit on him, and I call bullshit on this gubernatorial candidate. WE KNOW THEIR INTENTIONS!

  2467. It's cut and dry. Trump solicited election help from foreign countries, PLURAL. There doesn't have to be a quid pro quo, but there was, as evident not just on his phone call, but in text messages among his staff. After all of that shit he brought on himself over enlisting Russian help, he CONTINUES?! And gets agitated about the pushback?? Trump has to be the dumbest narcissist on the planet. WTF did he THINK was going to happen? His stupidity alone should be an impeachable offense.

  2469. Steve Walker - He not only told all 4 members of the squad, he said ANYONE who complains should go back where they came from, and that's CLASSIC racism. Here's what you don't understand - It's not up for debate whether it's racist or not. If that many people consider something racially offensive, and someone has been told that, says those things anyway, and stands by them, then it is racially offensive. Period. If I called you a bitch, could I convince you I wasn't really insulting you because bitches are simply female dogs, and I like female dogs? Are you seriously calling Warren a liar while defending Trump, who has told 12,000 LIES since taking office? Seriously? A man who lies about how many floors are in his buildings?

  2470. Steve Walker - Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. And if you think that stuff with the dossier was wrong, what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? You can't have it both ways. Any questions?

  2476. There is no equivalency. There was the El Paso shooter, the MAGA bomber, Charlottesville, the "pizzagate" shooter, and the Coast Guard nationalist. A man who was stockpiling weapons was arrested for threats to a newspaper, calling them "enemy of the people". The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wingers. Hate crimes by the right have sharply risen since Trump took office. 78% of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by white supremacists. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. Both sides have fringe elements, but it's ABSURD for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.

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.

  2479. Andrew Pinson - Technically, it violates their oath of office, but like you said, we'd have none left. They should have dealt with Trump's HABITUAL lying, though. He made over 22,000 false or misleading statements in 4 years. Obama made 143 in 8 years. It's a staggering difference. Trump lied about a pandemic that cost 500,000 lives and counting. He lied about a deal in Moscow that left him vulnerable to blackmail. The volume of lies alone should have ended his presidency in the first year.
    4
  2480. 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?

  2481. The Pirate Nation - Oh, like the "damning evidence" Nunes got from the fired Flynn and Bannon cronies on the security council that he made his infamous midnight run to get?

It didn't even matter that Hillary Clinton had attended his wedding or that their daughters were friends. He is a sociopath.

Most recently, it was revealed he lied when he said he didn't order Don McGahn to fire Mueller. In between, he lied about COVID.

  2497.  @itsmorphed6416  - I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.

  2499. Trump supporters, let's say for argument's sake that the DNC kept the servers from the FBI. What do you think happened? If you say, "Seth Rich", then you can't say the FBI was in on it. They kept the servers from them, right? Furthermore, how do you explain the Trump Tower meeting? Explain how Trump can believe the Russians didn't meddle when his own son admits that he tried to meddle with them. How do you explain this being an excuse for losing an election when the probe started months before the election? Have you people even thought this through?

If nobody saw it, Republican officials would think, "Well, we can pull a 'Weekend at Mar-a-Lago.' A lifeless Trump is better than a live Democrat, and his base is too stupid to catch on. Or maybe we could turn that gold Trump statue into a robot and say he turned to gold."

  2513. 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.

  2516. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  2517. texas thunder - Yes, tell us what's good about that trade deal. You don't know, do you? Nobody knows, because Trump hasn't said. Looks like nothing but changing the name from NAFTA to something with his name in it - and Mexico, not Canada, because he hasn't even started to negotiate with them yet. Just like with North Korea - it's just a show. All Trump showed us is that he can't work a telephone.

  2518. Exactly. Trump says people are pleading to crimes that are "not even crimes". LOL. Sure. A judge, a defendant, a prosecutor, and a defense attorney can stand there in court, and nobody says, "This isn't even a crime". You know, there's a line in the indictment where there's a string of numbers and letters identifying the statute. They have to fill-in that line.

  2519. 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!

Neither is Hillary Clinton... Or Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey... NONE OF THEM. Trump probably won't even go to jail - unless he's so dumb he won't know when to follow in Nixon's footsteps and quit when they close in on him and start indicting everyone around him (So maybe. He is tenaciously stupid). WHAT FUCKING MEMO? WHO WROTE IT? TO WHO? They're covering it wall to wall on FOX and can't even explain the basics. Nunes is an idiot. You can't show your hand, crying "witch hunt" at every turn, and then act like you were shocked to uncover something! We already got a heads up on his bullshit, and he is supposed to be recused! He is just begging for an obstruction charge!

  2525. 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.

  2534. Consider the possibility that Trump won't be the nominee next year. Even if he isn't removed or resign in scandal, there's a lot more time for him to self destruct or for his base to simply get sick of his shit. W Bush got re-elected, but left with 28% approval. Republicans will start to notice that. There's a good chance Trump will be ousted by his own party. If his numbers take a dive early next year, they will primary him so they can keep power. They'll pull the old bait and switch, and have Dems - prepared to run against the devil they know - running against another Republican, who will have a good chance, because right-leaning independents will vote for "anyone but Trump". That's how we could wind up with Trump 2.0. A Republican who isn't a disrespectful, reckless, dumbass Twitter troll, but will have LEARNED from Trump about what they can get away with. Trump 2.0 will be just as crooked, and can get away with murder because the bar has been lowered so much.

  2538. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  2539. In the Cosmos series, Carl Sagan describes a scientist years ago who was sure there were dinosaurs on Venus. He only knew we couldn't see the surface because of the clouds. He figured that since there were clouds, there must have been water, which proved there was oxygen, which proved there was life. Since he couldn't see other indicators of highly evolved life, he thought Venus must be in their "dinosaur" phase based on how life evolved on Earth. Observation: Can't see shit. Conclusion: Dinosaurs. This is the faulty way of thinking of every conspiracy theorist and ignorant person who is sure they saw aliens on Earth.

And if you're calling Biden demented, you shouldn't vote for Trump. That's like an ocean calling a puddle wet. Trump just BRAGGED about passing a basic dementia test where you identify basic shapes and animals, then LIED about the test administrator's response.

  2544. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico. Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

  2545. The GOP has a hard-on for Trump because they're in awe of the fact that he can get masses of people to believe whatever BS he tells them. They see politics as an information war. War is the operative word. If you convince yourself that your opponent is your enemy and an existential threat, you can justify anything you do. "We HAVE TO lie and cheat. This is WAR!" Of course, they would never actually DECLARE war on the Dems. The GOP leaves itself the luxury of being able to hold Dems to a moral standard that it won't abide by itself. Dems lie and pander, too, but not as many, not as often, and they aren't as extreme. Terms like "liberal," "conservative," "right," and "left" have become meaningless. Republicans are no more FISCALLY conservative than Democrats. It just depends on where they want to spend money. Democrats are more SOCIALLY liberal. It's natural that Dems lead on issues like racial equality, gay rights, and legalizing marijuana. Traditionally, liberals initiate change while conservatives maintain the status quo. When Trump took office, he created a new category - CONSTITUTIONAL. No matter how much he tries to label Democrats "the radical left," it's obviously the Republicans who are radical. Trump said that he wanted to "tear down the administrative state". That's as radical as it gets! That's initiating change. It sure as hell isn't conservative. Suddenly, the Dems are the champions of the status quo. Referring back to the Constitution is inherently conservative, but the Republican "conservatives" have abandoned their ideals for a two-bit con artist, fly-by-night game show host. They're acting like a middle aged husband who got taken in by a pretty, young woman, started cheating on his wife, and doesn't realize he's being used because he thinks he's using her. The mistress is going to drain his bank account and move on, and he knows that, but he counts on his wife taking him back because she's done so in the past. I know I'm using too many mixed metaphors here, but if you can follow - The wife knows what's up. She'll take him back, but only for the sake of the house and kids, the status quo. Over the next two years, two things will happen. 1)- A LOT is going to come to light about just how much of a crooked con-man Trump has been. All of those Trump staffers who were afraid to speak out will write tell-all books. 2)- Because of that, those 126 fools in the House will lose re-election in 2022. This isn't supposed to be a war. It should be an airplane that needs a left and a right wing to fly. I vote for Dems because they have a better understanding of this. It's a shame that Trumpers will get caught up in the whole "who is more crooked" thing and that BS about Biden being a "communist" without realizing, and being impressed as I was, by something Joe Biden said - that the Presidency is the one office where the occupant has to be a centrist, a representative of all 320 million. The Bernie Sanders crowd doesn't get it. The Trumpers DEFINITELY don't get it. Biden is not a communist! That's ridiculous! If we were on the verge of communism, wouldn't Bernie Sanders be the President-elect right now? And even if Bernie had become President, that STILL wouldn't make this Cuba in 1959. There is no mechanism for that here. The GOP is making Trumpers paranoid! The US is the most hyper-capitalist country on Earth. The existential threat comes from outside - from the Russians and the Chinese who want us in a civil war. You have to divide to conquer, and if we divide, we've done half of their work for them.

  2567. I heard they tell new Presidents, "Whatever you do, don't mess with the CIA." Trump publicly compared them to Nazis on his first week in office. He accuses the Obama intelligence community of treason. But they can't talk. They can't write books or really defend themselves publicly. Now, he's on the military's bad side. They can talk, from former Generals down to the lowest ranking soldiers and their families. Of course Trump said those things in the Atlantic article (that has been matched by 4 other news outlets). Look at what he has said publicly. Common sense says he'd say worse in private. Then, while denying the reports, he attacks the top brass! What an idiot to be a Republican President and lose favorability with the military.

  2588. cj p - I agree. A defendant should be able to put forth any defense they want, however RIDICULOUS it may be. That's why Hunter Biden should testify. But that also means Bolton, Sondland, Mulvaney, Parnas, and the people at OMB should also have to testify. Of course, you realize that making Biden testify puts Trump in the position of clarifying whether he legally leveraged Ukraine with that quid pro quo, or he didn't do it at all. Currently, he is using two CONTRADICTORY defenses.

  2589. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  2590. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. He has endorsed police brutality. He endorses violence against opponents at his rallies. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words. He uses the words, "nationalism" and "alien" for a reason. He could clearly use other words. Let's assume for a moment that Trump is not a race-baiter. The racial hate groups, ALL of which are on the right, insist he supports them. Whether he does or not, that is the MESSAGE they get, and Trump sure seems more than happy to let that continue. Save your whataboutism. I'm no fan of Antifa, it isn't a racial hate group, and the best whataboutism can do is to assert that two wrongs make a right.

  2599. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

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.

But any baseless, nonsensical conspiracy theory he throws out there should be investigated, right?

  2614. When Trump says, "Mueller isn't looking at the other side", he shows how he fundamentally doesn't understand how things work. What "other side"? He is referring to Democrats - the "other side" in POLITICS. The other side in JUSTICE, in a potential case against him, is the Mueller team. Mueller is looking at what happened with Russia and the 2016 election IN GENERAL, whether it leads to the Trump campaign or not. He doesn't see that RUSSIA is on the other side of the US there. The US, you know, the country he is supposed to be defending! And why is he so sure Mueller is against him, anyway? Does it occur to him that Mueller could clear him? He clearly believes the report will be damning, so he is using the only defense he can - "witch hunt", even though he hasn't been charged with anything. At every turn, he does what a guilty person would do. It should bother everyone that he refuses to realize basic fundamentals, even after he has surely been advised of these things. Either he is incapable of understanding, or he doesn't care. Either way, he is incapable of doing his job.

  2615. Like when he went after James Comey for talking about Hillary Clinton's email case, which probably gave the election to him.
    4
  2616. The Russian attack had to be investigated. Whether or not Americans helped had to be part of it. Investigators found Trump associates in contact with Russians, who were lying and acting shady about it. That had to be looked into. So, no, it's not a witch hunt. It's common sense.
    4
  2617. House Dems should at least start an impeachment INQUIRY. Then, they get the documents and testimony that Trump refuses to turn over. Dems should put the election stuff on hold for a while. It's still early. There may not be enough Republican votes in the Senate to remove Trump right now, but there are 20 ongoing probes, into his charity, his inaugural committee, and his tax, banking, emoluments, and business practices. His kids could have state criminal exposure he can't pardon away. Dems want to beat a wounded Trump at the ballot box, but that's a long time from now, and in that time, Republicans might decide to primary him. They'll want to get rid of him for the same reason they support him now - to hold onto power. Dems must SIEZE THE NARRATIVE that Trump and Barr took control of when they declared, "No collusion. Case closed". No, it's not closed. Mueller said that Barr mischaracterized his report. Mueller needs to testify. I think he knew he might have to do that when he took the job of Special Council. There WAS COLLUSION. As Giuliani said, "collusion is not a crime". Mueller didn't find enough evidence to charge criminal CONSPIRACY. Mueller also clearly outlined 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice. He couldn't indict a sitting President, so he left it to Congress. Over 800 former federal prosecutors signed a document saying that if Trump wasn't President, he would be charged with Obstruction. (Did 800 prosecutors say that Hillary Clinton would have been criminally charged for her private server? No. That's why Comey said that, while she was reckless, "no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges". And by the way, Trump, Kushner, and Ivanka have done worse than Hillary with regard to being careless with classified information and using improper channels...a LOT worse). Just wait, Trumpers. We haven't heard the end of the Hope Hicks, Michael Flynn, and Rick Gates stories. They have all been cooperating. If Trump has nothing to hide, why is he stonewalling and acting squirrelly? Use common sense. Your boy is a crook, and you were conned.

  2621. There is very credible evidence that Trump committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. His charity was shut down for fraud. His "university" was shut down for fraud. He's under investigation in Georgia for election tampering. His company's CFO has been indicted. His longtime ally has been indicted for violating FARA laws that resulted in UAE interests winding up in Trump's speeches. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, said he was "joking." He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He's a compulsive liar who made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. Trump wanted to send Joe Biden, a prominent American, former Senator and VP, to Ukraine - a country he acknowledged has a crooked legal system - to face manufactured charges. He ran a campaign based on locking up another political rival, a prominent former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Trump wanted to send an Ambassador to Russia from the Obama Administration to Russia so Putin could jail, and most likely torture him. I hope Trump gets the book thrown at him.

  2623. This is ridiculous! Trump started the petty, losing argument that he has "saved" the economy from the non-existent failures of Obama. It's a false talking point, and it never even had to be addressed. Because of that, an endless parade of people continue to go on the news and humiliate themselves unnecessarily, all because the president has self-esteem problems. The chart is right there for all to see, yet this doofus goes on TV and desperately talks over Poppy Harlow to stop her from pointing out the obvious facts. Why bring it up at all? Then, in order to divert from his losing argument, he starts ANOTHER losing argument - that Obama raised the debt - only to be told the fact that Trump is raising it at a higher rate. Trump promised to eliminate the debt in 8 years. When his advisors told him it was projected to rise over the next 8 years, the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" said, "I don't care. I'll be gone then". His tax cuts are pure deficit spending. This is so STUPID and unnecessary.

  2624. William Wolski - Trump doesn't deny any if it. The White House released the transcript that showed he clearly enlisted the help of a foreign country to go on a fishing expedition against his political opponent, and he used coersion and extortion to do it.

  2625. Anyone else think Carter Page might be an informant for the US government? He was involved with a Russian spy ring in 2013. Two Russians went to prison. One fled to Moscow.

Have you ever even thought about how little sense it makes to fake a poll? Andrew Yang doesn't have nearly the experience, history, or name recognition of the top tier candidates. Duuh! Stop bashing the messenger. What is WRONG with you people?

  2627. I agree. I think it's because his answer to Gaetz was entirely devoid of any politics whatsoever. Just plain, old common sense. I'd say that since people don't like partisan, culture war BS, why do GOP politicians and FOX News continue to feed it steroids, but there is a HUGE percentage of their constituency/viewership that can't get enough of it. Those people are clueless about how government and media even work. Politics are for GETTING the job, but governing is DOING the job. I know the "liberal" media over-report some culturally divisive issues, such as making EVERYTHING about the struggle of each specific minority group, but they don't FABRICATE the fundamental issues the way FOX News and GOP politicians do. CRT is just ONE 40-year-old, college level book that hardly anyone even knew about before the right stirred-it up. One of its opponents even told Joy Reid he was proud of the fact that people are hearing about it now, partly because of him. That's ostensibly admitting he created the straw man! There was a guy on here earlier trying to tell me there should be an issue with Biden defending free speech because Jen Psaki simply answered a baiting question about that olympic athlete turning her back on the flag. Is the basic right to obviously peaceful protest supposed to be controversial? Biden thinks not, unlike Trump, who dug into that NFL kneeling thing.

  2630. Don Jr. knew he was meeting with agents of the Kremlin. We know this from his emails. We also know the FBI had previously warned the Trump campaign about Russians trying to get to the campaign, yet Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". If all was on the up and up, why did Don Jr. change his story 3 TIMES IN 4 DAYS as the New York Times kept showing he was lying? If "nothing came from the meeting", (as if that matters), why were the DNC emails published "later in the summer", just as Don Jr. wanted? Why did Manafort offer to update a Russian oligarch on the campaign? Why was Kushner so hellbent on giving sanction relief to the Russians? COLLUSION, plain and simple. 1)- The Trump Tower meeting was about relieving the Magninsky Act sanctions. 2)- Kislyak attending the RNC Convention was about changing RNC platform language to favor Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 3)- Papadopoulos was seeking Clinton's "missing" emails...And it defies common sense to think Trump was unaware of the Trump Tower meeting.

  2637. The current President's charity foundation was dissolved for what the NY AG calls a "shocking pattern of illegality". It involved bribery to a Florida AG with a check WRITTEN OFF THE TRUMP FOUNDATION ACCOUNT, to stop a lawsuit of ANOTHER one of his scams, Trump University. The Clinton Foundation has been audited. Hillary Clinton didn't hide her tax returns. The reason their foundation isn't in trouble is because there is no proof of wrongdoing. No trail leading from the charity to her pocket. The allegations don't even make sense. So, tell me, why wasn't OBAMA accused of taking bribes? He was the only one who could veto the deal. I'll tell you why. It was a political hit job against Clinton because she was running for president.

  2640. There isn't even a claim or accusation here. Have you overlooked that basic fact? There is nothing to investigate with Biden. His son worked for a Ukrainian company that was once investigated and cleared. End of story. Trump, on the other hand, has prompted someone high up in the intel community to use whistleblower protections about something Trump did, and the Inspector General agrees that it is of URGENT CONCERN. Trump tried blocking Congress from investigating THAT. Why should this be about Biden?

  2643. John B Say an employee gets caught stealing from the company, but quits before they get fired. Does that mean they should be eligible for re-hire? Remember when Bush got into trouble for saying "Bring 'em on" in reference to terrorists? He was just exercising free speech, right? The last thing Democrats, especially Biden, wanted to be doing in the first weeks of the new administration was to be impeaching the guy they finally got rid of. It wasn't good for Dems politically. Ethics and accountability dictated that they had to impeach him. If Republicans had any ethics or desire for accountability, they wouldn't be making that stupid argument that Dems love to hate him so much that they can't let him go.

  2645. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  2649. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  2650. For those Trump followers who say, "What about the rioters?" when asked about the health of rallygoers: - That's not a reasonable answer. - PROTESTING, (not rioting), AND attending a Trump rally are BOTH UNSAFE. - Most protesters wear masks. Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns. You can watch him lie on TV.

(Imagine how you Trumpers would go ape shit if Clinton was under suspicion and John Podesta was charged with that... or if Chelsae Clinton and Huma Abedin met was seeking dirt on Trump from a foreign adversary and trying to lift their sanctions). And if Trump talks to Mueller, I'm pretty sure they could then add perjury. As for people in Trump's orbit, probably a bunch of crimes. They're looking at Cohen for bank fraud because he took out a home equity loan to pay off a porn star. I wouldn't be surprised if Kushner committed internet crimes as communications director. Flynn had to flip to avoid being charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent. They can charge Carter Page with that, too. And no doubt, Mueller has Trump's tax returns. Hmmm, I wonder if he's kept his finances clean.

  2671. Why do we only hear about masks and distance? I think people mindlessly go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is the same as being too close. Elevators and city busses are major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. How many people attend events in cars, but stop at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often thins crowds, and allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Are you aware of touching your eyes after taking off your shoes, after walking on possibly virus-covered floors? The more a virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Then we need a new vaccine.

  2679. Comparing the riots that broke out during BLM protests to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a ballpark full of Yankees fans with a couple of New Yorkers breaking into cars in the parking lot. BLM supporters are likely to be liberals, but that's not remotely the same as it being a partisan political issue. Right wing "logic" seems to be "Hollywood is mostly liberal. Most Democrats are liberal. Jussie Smollett is a Hollywood actor who conned people for a traditionally liberal cause. Therefore, Democrats support con-men."

  2687. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  2688. Poll the country on the job where you get the most criticism, and POTUS would be the top answer. "I get attacked all the time," says our insulting, vengeful, childish, whiney little lying bitch of a leader. He acts like he never saw the news before. The media is doing EXACTLY what they would do with ANY president who acts like him. He whines about SNL, for Christ's sake! He wants to be a rebel? To be different? Then what the fuck does he expect? 92% of his coverage is negative because 92% of what he does and says is negative! He's a "counter-puncher"? Give me a fucking break. He's just a "puncher". He only serves his base. That's polarizing, so over half the country isn't going to agree that the "good things" he does are actually good things. Just because he sees no need to be presidential (aka mature), doesn't mean the country doesn't need it. He's got some damn nerve bitching about the "dishonest" media. He's a proven habitual liar! Does he EVER specify what the media is actually "lying" about? Hell no! It never ceases to amaze me, not only what his base now considers acceptable in a leader, but also how HYPOCRITICAL his followers are! "What about Hillary?!" What about her? She isn't President, and EVERYTHING he accuses the Clintons of, he is accused of himself - to a much greater degree! Crooked charity? Check. Election fraud? Check. Security breaches? Check. Sex crimes? Check. Inciting incivility? Mega check! Lying? Holy shit - Super duper megacheck! Trump and his followers need to grow the fuck up.

If that's what you want, watch FOX News or OANN - no substance, just buzz word salad about "socialists," "leftists," and daily breaking the rule in journalism that says the news itself is not supposed to be the story unless it's necessary.

  2698.  @Bobboberson1234  The Democrats should have started the ball rolling in the courts sooner, but by not doing that, it helps Trump and the Republicans. Trump is APPEALING to the Supreme Court. As it stands now, he must turn over documents and allow witnesses to testify, but he refuses. There are people sitting in prison all over the country with appeals pending. Common sense should tell you that Trump has something to hide. They bitch about this being unfair and not being allowed witnesses, but that's all bullshit because that's not how it's done in the House, the INDICTMENT part. Now, in the Senate trial, they want to BLOCK witnesses and the release of documents.

Who in their right mind packs up their life and walks 1000 miles to another country because of a PR campaign?

  2702. When Trump first got into office, in his first conversation with the Mexican president, he told him, "I can't have you SAYING you won't pay for a wall". Never mind actually paying for it or not. To Trump, perception is reality, and only peoples' perception of himself matters.

And how could looking at whether Americans were involved or not NOT be part if it? Furthermore, it isn't like they looked and found nothing. They looked and found Trump associates lying, acting shady, and reaching out to the Russian government. DUH! It was inevitable! That's why they should just cooperate and let it proceed.

  2709. I think a lot of people have lost sight of the fact that the Mueller probe, first and foremost, is about finding out what the Russians did and how to prevent it in the future. If it leads back to some kind of collusion with Trump, then that's where it will have lead. That's it. Think about it: If Trump somehow stopped the probe, the very next question on everyones' mind would be, "So... What are we doing about the Russians? We've got elections coming up". This does not go away. If Trump can't cooperate, never mind as a subject or target - as a WITNESS, then he must resign. He can call it bad luck. He can blame his inexperience. He can blame the Democrats. Personally, I don't give a shit what happens to him. But he can't call it a deep state conspiracy, because that's just paranoid crazy. He can't keep saying his "well-oiled machine" is the only thing that can save us from ruin, because the facts don't back that up.

  2713.  @CraigC55  There was a 2-3% death rate. It is 7 times as deadly as the flu. It had our hospitals at capacity. And is death the only thing that matters? Yeah, so what if a million people wind up alone in a hospital bed for 6 weeks struggling to breathe, then spend the next ten years paying the bill? Do you realize how high the death rate would be if we all just ignored it? The entire health care system and the economy would have broken down. "Messing with nature"? That's just ridiculous.

  2715. This is ridiculous! Trump started the petty, losing argument that he has "saved" the economy from the non-existent failures of Obama. It's a false talking point, and it never even had to be addressed. Because of that, an endless parade of people continue to go on the news and humiliate themselves unnecessarily, all because the president has self-esteem problems. The chart is right there for all to see, yet this doofus goes on TV and desperately talks over Poppy Harlow to stop her from pointing out the obvious facts. Why bring it up at all? Then, in order to divert from his losing argument, he starts ANOTHER losing argument - that Obama raised the debt - only to be told the fact that Trump is raising it at a higher rate. Trump promised to eliminate the debt in 8 years. When his advisors told him it was projected to rise over the next 8 years, the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" said, "I don't care. I'll be gone then". His tax cuts are pure deficit spending. This is so STUPID and unnecessary.

  2718. There's such a double standard with right wingers about what constitutes reasonable suspicion. When the target is a Democrat, everything is supposedly suspicious, and "What's the harm in investigating?" But when Trump and his people were caught meeting with Russian intelligence and reaching out to crooked Ukrainians to dig up and manufacture dirt on his opponent, get caught lying about it, and raising every eyebrow and red flag, it's "treason" to even look into it.

  2723. Mueller didn't say there was no collusion, which means cooperation, and isn't a crime. He declined to charge anyone with CONSPIRACY, and he specifically said Trump was NOT exonerated for obstruction. He left that to Bill Barr, Trump's hand picked AG to conclude, but also knows Congress will subpoena the full, 300 page report that tells the story. All we have seen is Barr's 4 page summary. Hope Hicks is cooperating in what is obviously an obstruction probe in another district, and she witnessed the drafting of Trump's false cover story about the Trump Tower meeting. One of Trump's legal counselors quit their job while on Air Force One to not be part of the obstruction. He says Hope Hicks said of incriminating documents that, "Nobody will see those". Well, I bet they will now. Like I said, she is cooperating. Trump could have pardoned anyone Mueller had charged, but can't pardon state crimes. New York is investigating Trump for his dissolved charity, where the NY AG saw "a shocking pattern of illegality". They are also looking at the Trump Organization and the Trump Inaugural Committee that can't account for $107 million. Then, there's the matter of Trump being named "Individual 1" for directing Cohen to commit bank fraud as part of an FEC violation.

  2732.  @user-ud9uo2cm1x  You could say it, but it wouldn't make any sense because I was referring to three specific labels the Republicans gave themselves. "I know you are but what am I?" has become you folks' mindless mantra.

  2733. Agreed. As someone who has been robbed twice on the job, I can say you definitely deserve a little break after the trauma. Also, it incentivizes the company to take those matters seriously and do what they reasonably can to prevent it in the future. Once I was robbed working in a convenience store, only 3 hours before closing time, but they insisted on staying open and had nobody else to finish the shift. But they bought me a pizza. SMH. I should have told them to f-off, but my logic was, "Could this really happen twice in one day?"

  2734. 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.

  2735. "People are saying..," which means people on his Twitter feed, and he blocks those who don't agree with him. Trump and Hannity come up with some bs, FOX News reports it, trolls amplify it, Trump reads Twitter, then says "people are saying". It's a feedback loop.

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.

  2747. With the Russia probe, people tend to assume Trump, himself, is the "biggest fish", but really, he is the second biggest. Putin is the biggest fish. The Russians attacked our election. The feds and the intelligence people would have been neglecting their duties if they DIDN'T investigate this. The reason we had to get a Special Council is because Trump refused to realize this. You can argue that Trump is innocent, but you cannot say he hasn't been acting the way guilty people act. Trump and SIXTEEN of his associates lied about 101 denied Russian contacts. That is a FACT, and NONE have offered a reasonable explanation.

  2756. César Sanchez - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  2758. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

  2759. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy.

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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

(No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

But simply INVESTIGATING the Trump campaign reaching out to them is "treason" and "damaging the country." Liberals are overreacting to a world pandemic. But our freedom is at stake if we wear masks for a few months. Kids are going to turn out stupid and emotionally distressed if they miss a few months of school. People will turn into lonely, suicidal drug addicts if they can't go to bars for a while! Liberal BLM terrorists are creating anarchy in the streets. They have some nerve to protest a tiny problem like police brutality! But those statues are SACRED! They're socialists trying to take over.

  2767. It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival. The Clinton email thing has been adjudicated. The 2016 election is over, and it is a FACT that the Russians interfered in Trump's favor. The Biden non-issue has been looked into by TWO prosecutors in Ukraine, not to mention it was the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for that was under suspicion, not Hunter Biden, and not his father. On the other hand, 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts during the election. Trump lied about pending deals in Moscow, in a country that was actively trying to get him elected. Trump's top people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump still refuses to admit Russia even interfered, and he's still doing all he can to lift sanctions imposed on them for that very interference. In 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to interfere, and after all of the problems that caused, he is doing it AGAIN. This isn't a "deep state" conspiracy. Trump's wounds are self-inflicted, and he is BEGGING to be probed and impeached.

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  2783. If a news outlet straight reports, "A man plead guilty to murdering two children today," is that opinion? No. But you can safely assume that most people would conclude that the man who pleads guilty is a bad person. This is what you hyper-media critics do not understand. When CNN reported the FACT that "Don Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jarred Kushner met with surrogates of the Russian government," that was a FACT. No opinion. People are going to see a presidential campaign's top people meeting with Russian government surrogates to trade dirt on their opponent for favors as a negative thing, right? Ever consider that "MSM's coverage of Trump is 98% negative" was because most of what he DID AND SAID WERE NEGATIVE? There is FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. There are so many people out there who don't even know how to watch the news! Those who cry "CNN is biased" are the ones who engage in the most confirmation bias. Hopeless hypocrites and idiots.

  2789. Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent. She just had too much baggage.

  2790. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they gas their own people?" It's because they don't consider them their own, or even people at all. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy and for cutting unemployment in half, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. Devoid of any class or respect, he bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) I guess, to Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrannical monarch. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news" Washington Post? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" Trump actually considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election to install Trump as President. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump is a traitor, loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed miserably with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you FOX News junkies and Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. You Russian trolls already know. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

  2797. There was the El Paso shooter, the MAGA bomber, the Coast Guard nationalist, the guy who threatened a newspaper, calling them "enemy of the people", who was stockpiling weapons. The Charlottsville attacker was a right-winger. So was the "pizzagate" shooter. The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wing fringe groups. Hate crimes by right wing groups are sharply on the rise since Trump took office. 78% of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by white supremacists. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. I'm not saying both sides don't have fringe elements. But it is RIDICULOUS for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.

  2800. Trump wanted to send Joe Biden, a prominent American, former Senator and VP, to Ukraine - a country he acknowledged has a crooked legal system - to face manufactured charges. He ran a campaign based on locking up another political rival, a prominent former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Trump wanted to send an Ambassador to Russia from the Obama Administration to Russia so Putin could jail, and most likely torture him. I hope Trump gets the book thrown at him.

  2801. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

That's how it works. Sources, especially in the government, speak on condition of anonymity or they wouldn't speak at all. Then, other outlets compete with them, and independently verify things with their sources, or else it's on them.

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  2816. Do you Trump defenders hear themselves?? It's one thing to argue the facts. It's another to ignore facts, say "Oh, you just hate him", gaslight, and pretend we don't have VALID suspicions. But it's yet another thing to be HYPOCRITICAL about it! You know damn well that if it was Hillary Clinton, you would be outraged. You would be twice as outraged. Trump's behavior is NOT normal. You may say that's what you like about him, but don't act like that abnormality shouldn't be met with resistance. Imagine an airline pilot, after takeoff, announced, "I'll be letting my 14 year old son fly the plane today. He has no training. He's been drinking all day, but the kid's really good at piloting". Then, when you protest, he says, "Oh, quit your bitching. He's never crashed before". With the Russia probe, people tend to assume Trump, himself, is the "biggest fish", but really, he is the second biggest. Putin is the biggest fish. The Russians attacked our election. The feds and the intelligence people would have been neglecting their duties if they DIDN'T investigate this. The reason we had to get a Special Council is because Trump refused to realize this. You can argue that Trump is innocent, but you cannot say he hasn't been acting the way guilty people act. Trump and SIXTEEN of his associates lied about 101 denied Russian contacts. That is a FACT, and NONE have offered a reasonable explanation. Cut the crap with that "witch hunt" and "fake news" BS! You can't even say, if the media didn't, technically LIE, then they're "biased". You lost that angle when Trump co-opted FOX News as a virtual PR arm of the government. ALL MSM run the same top stories because they are newsworthy. Do you think British BBC works for the DNC? Do you think partly government funded PBS is biased? Do you think Republicans - who who were FULLY in charge for the first 2 years - wouldn't raise hell if they thought these stories were skewed against Trump? You can have your own opinions, but not your own facts. Didn't Trump run as an outsider and a rebel? Then what the hell did he expect?? Even if you don't like how the FREE press reports FACTS, it is necessary for an informed citizenry, which is crucial to democracy. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You can't focus on CNN, and ignore that ALL of these outlets report the SAME FACTS. You can't act like every piece of suspicious behavior has to be a "smoking gun" or else it is has no merit. There is a HUGE circumstantial case here. Furthermore, if Mueller totally absolves Trump, but proves half his staff colluded with Russia, you cannot say, "See, it was a witch hunt". We HAVE TO find out what happened.

  2818. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  2819. Are you kidding? The military leans hard anti-Trump. Mr. "bone spurs" insulted John McCain, saying he likes people who didn't get caught.

  2828.  @beanandbiscuits9752  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  2829. The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality".

A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club.

  2851. Trump's tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% are NOT stimulating investment. Know why? Because trickle-down doesn't work. Why not? Because we don't REQUIRE the rich to invest or create jobs. Jobs are going to automation. The beneficiaries put that money into machines that replace workers and to pay lobbyists to LOBBY FOR MORE TAX CUTS. These cuts - where 82% of the benefits go to 1% of the population - put the deficit in the trillions. Inflation is out-pacing wages. The stock market is in decline. Trump is deregulating the financial markets, including regulations designed to prevent another crash. Trump is robbing Peter to pay Paul, taking money from FEMA to fund his border baby jails. That's why Republicans are running on fear-mongering poor Hondurans, and not the economy.

  2854. With the Russia probe, people tend to assume Trump, himself, is the "biggest fish", but really, he is the second biggest. Putin is the biggest fish. The Russians attacked our election. The feds and the intelligence people would have been neglecting their duties if they DIDN'T investigate this. The reason we had to get a Special Council is because Trump refused to realize this. You can argue that Trump is innocent, but you cannot say he hasn't been acting the way guilty people act. Trump and SIXTEEN of his associates lied about 101 denied Russian contacts. That is a FACT, and NONE have offered a reasonable explanation.

  2862. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.

We have to think about this like a blizzard. Look at Canada. Look at the rest of the world. Why can't we just do what they did? - Close restaurants and bars, and send them financial aid. - Mass produce cheap masks and hand sanitizer, and hand them out at the door of every essential business. - How about "Quarantine Tuesday?" Pick one or two days a week when EVERYTHING is closed. - PSAs. Run commercials with a CONSISTENT message about the top 10 most important things to do, and educate people about what a virus actually is and how it spreads. - We can't have the President lying, working against these measures, holding mass rallies, and using a disease as a weapon in a culture war! - Cancel or postpone all sports, concerts and big events. It's not forever IT'S JUST FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SH1T HAPPENS. Quit acting like we're living in occupied Fallujah. By next year, there will be a vaccine.

He tried to sell nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia. He tried to have a Turkish cleric kidnapped and sent to Turkey to be killed and tortured. He broke FARA laws and lied about it. His son pushed that "pizzagate" nonsense and I doubt Flynn wasn't part of that. And he's currently trying to stage a coup.

  2878.  @RP-fm6fn  CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  2879. So CNN won? Imagine that! I didn't see it. I was watching Jeff Flake, of Trump's own party NOT acting like a 12-year-old today and warning us about the dangers of Soviet-style propaganda and attacking the press like parrots with "fake news" turrets. You Trumpers should watch it, or will FOX News not cover it?

  2887. Don't forget Trump's "Second Amendment people" remark about Hillary. The shooter in El Paso called immigrants "invaders". Trump PURPOSELY uses the term, "illegal ALIEN". He repeats that Stalin term "enemy of the people", and news outlets get threats from nut jobs using that phrase. He has defended the word, "nationalist", knowing it's a loaded word. Look at how he handled Charlottesville. The National Policy Institute was saying "Hail Trump" while imitating the Nazi salute in Washington, right after his election. RACIAL HATE GROUPS SAY TRUMP SUPPORTS THEM! What's he doing about it? Don't tell me he denounced them. Apparently not strongly enough. If he spent a fraction of the time he spends on Twitter saying he doesn't speak for them as he does spewing bigoted garbage, they might get the message. But he just keeps it up, and then gaslights his critics.

Only Trump continued to downplay it, ignore his experts, call it a hoax, and politicize it. The ONLY thing he did was stop a few flights, probably out of xenophobia. He PRAISED China's response to it at the time. He said it would go away "like a miracle." Do you people have ANY talking points that aren't hypocritical, pure projection, or wildly false?

  2892.  sam ridges . I know a lot about his history. Most recently, he was VP to a black president and he will more than likely choose a black running mate. I'm not saying he hasn't said stupid, racially insensitive things, but those aren't racist. He tries too hard to pander to young blacks as an old timer. The crime bill wasn't even racist. It had racist unintended consequences - Which leads me to Trump, the only other viable choice. Now, Trump is OVERTLY RACIST, and tries to implement obviously racist policies.

  2893.  @link6412  Trump told voters he'd eliminate the national debt in 8 years. When his advisors warned him that the debt was projected to rise sharply over the next 8 years, he said he didn't care because, "I'll be gone then". Obama raised the debt to record levels, (to get us out of a recession), but Trump is raising the debt at an EVEN HIGHER RATE than Obama. The budget deficit went up to $1.5 trillion due to the Trump tax cuts. Deficits become debt.

  2894. There was only insufficient evidence to prosecute conspiracy. We have seen plenty of evidence that our President is a traitor. Russia reached out to the Trump camp, and the Trump camp reached out to Russia. Trump said he thought it was fine to take the Trump Tower meeting. Not fine. He should have called the FBI! He KNEW Russia was attacking our election, and he did nothing about it. He wanted them to. He was making a deal with them for a building in Moscow WHILE HE KNEW THEY WERE ATTACKING US. Instead of pushing to punish and sanction them, he worked to LIFT THEIR SANCTIONS. So, what does it matter what could be prosecuted? He has shown his true colors. Why the hell these Trump following fucking retards don't understand that, I'll never know. Would they be okay with it if Clinton or Obama did the same things? Hell no. Now, it's all, "CNN lied". "Democrats lied". No. It was TRUMP AND HIS PEOPLE WHO LIED. That's why there was an investigation!

  2895. Biden used money as leverage with the Ukrainians IN HIS CAPACITY AS VICE PRESIDENT, per US policy, with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, in the interest and for the benefit of the United States, NOT for personal gain. Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

  2904. William Stewart - What policies has Trump implemented to lower black unemployment? The unemployment rate, in general, is down. And what policies has he implemented that show it isn't just STILL a good economy? Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term. It creates a bubble. Now that Trump is ballooning the deficit with those tax cuts, he's saying we have to tighten the belt. He just cut raises for government employees. Inflation is rising faster than wages now. Despite what Trump says, he inherited a good economy. When Obama took office, it was dismal.

  2905. Polls reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won in 2016. And despite what Trump wants us to believe, the electoral college isn't skewed towards Democrats. The population is disproportionatly represented by Republicans because of all the gerrymandering they've done.

  2912. Politics are about getting and keeping the job. Governing is about doing the job. The Republicans are stuck on the former. It's bad enough when they see it as a zero-sum game, but worse that they see it as a war. On a perpetual war footing, they resist ANY kind of cooperation. Republicans see that as giving in to the enemy. Especially since 2016, it's been a simple strategy of making their base think that even a bad Republican (like Trump) is better than an "evil, communist" Democrat who "wants to destroy America." That prevents them from even criticizing their own. It's why they defended Trump no matter what. Supposedly, he was flawless, even though he was obviously very flawed at best.

  2916.  @brianlawrence8314  What has he given Russia? - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters for killing US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "a hoax." - Trump inexplicably pulled a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. All others comprised the remaining 1%). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Michael Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

Some things are better handled by the free market in the private sector, and some things are better handled by the government, the collective. The health care system has been taken over by greedy capitalists, so I welcome any idea that works to remedy that, no matter what you call it. This automatic dismissal of all things that in any way suggest socialism only limits the scope of ideas and gives politicians empty talking points.

  2921. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

  2922. Hope Hicks was on Air Force One when Trump drafted his son's statement about the Trump Tower meeting. A member of Trump's legal team quit his job then, saying he didn't want to be part of Obstruction of Justice, and said there were documents proving that they were lying in the statement. Hope Hicks said, "Yeah, but nobody is going to see those documents".

  2923. David Whitten - There is a difference between lying and lack of candor, and it was on one question. He didn't do it repeatedly. This was about McCabe not being forthcoming about something perfectly legal. Roger Stone lied about contacts with the very hackers AND the disseminators of the information stolen from the DNC. That alone proves the Russia probe was not a hoax. The IG concluded it was not a hoax. When a presidential candidate's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief, that candidate will become the subject of a counterintelligence probe. By the way, even Trump has now ostensibly said that it is okay for an administration to vet candidates by way of investigations. Do you people ever say anything that isn't hypocritical or pure projection?

  2925. Justin Smith - Wrong. It was not information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, which would obviously not have helped the candidate they were trying to defeat. Fusion GPS is a legal, American oppo research firm. You know, oppo research, which TRUMP SAID IS OKAY TO USE. He called his highly illegal actions "oppo research". The Republicans hired Fusion to research Trump first. Fusion GPS' contract stated that the client would not be informed of their methods, so they had no idea about the dossier. Furthermore, the hacked information Trump encouraged the Russians to dig up was used in the campaign. THE DOSSIER WAS NOT. Steele saw how serious it was, and gave it to the FBI, not the DNC. Steele was a subcontractor of Fusion, but also a British spy in whose interest it was to stop the Russians. Would you have prefered the US government IGNORE attempts to hack our elections? They were looking at the Russians, and it lead to Trump and his campaign, which was reaching out to the Russian government left and right. Common sense. Use it.

  2928. There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  2930. Quotes from a Stable Genius "I'm a very stable genius" "They're making a mistake because I have a gut, and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me." "And when you're talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over." "covfefe" "I've always liked American wine better than French wine...even though I don't drink wine. I like the way it looks." (Immediately after a refugee told Trump her family was murdered) "So, where is your family now?" (After mistakenly calling Tim Cook "Tim Apple") "I said it that way to save time."

  2931. 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.

  2932. 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".

  2933.  @Lockedinjae  - I don't like artificial safe spaces, either. The law, if not basic respect for how to act in that setting make it a safe space. Nobody would be upset if Will Smith had simply pulled Chris Rock aside after the show and explained how it upset him and his wife. I doubt Chris Rock's response to that would have led to a fist fight, but rather a sincere apology.

  2940. Scott Rance - Better us than them. In war, both sides shoot at each other. Most don't involve the candidates themselves working with the foreign power. Nixon at least kept it "in-house". My beef isn't so much with the Russians as it is with Trump and his cronies.

  2941. It's amazing how two people so different could get elected to the same position back to back - and how many who voted for Obama turned around and voted for Trump. Listen to this interview - thoughtful, articulate, and selfless. Then think about a Trump interview. "I'm the greatest ever. Me, me, me. They're the worst ever. They hate you and want to destroy you." The politics of grievance. Everyone is mad and frustrated about something, often mad and frustrated at themselves. Trump just gave his following an excuse to take it out on "the others among you, the liberals. I'm the only thing that stands between you and certain doom." Effective for winning elections. Horrible for governing once they win.

  2942. Dems have too many candidates running too early. They're creating burnout, and they're writing the Republican attack ads. They might not even wind up running against Trump. If his poll numbers drop too much, Republicans will primary him and then Dems won't be running against the devil they know and are preparing for. Sure, they should raise their money, but they should fly under the radar for a while. They shouldn't be calling the press to cover every event they hold.

  2970.  @river13  - That "What about BLM?" talking point really gets my goat. A relative few thugs did what thugs do. Right wingers act like they're politically-minded people who looted stores, then met up to discuss the topics on Meet the Press. They keep implying that we liberals own them and told them to do it. Many on the right are even doing that with Hollywood actors now. If an actor says something they don't like, they must be liberals, and they must be speaking for the Democratic party. It's absurd.

  2971.  @johnb1491  Yes, it's absolutely worse! Are you kidding? First off, Schumer did not do that. Waters, one Congresswoman, called for people to harass politicians in public. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  2972. Mournstar - Obama probably was to be more flexible after the election. SO? Flexible about WHAT? You have no idea, do you? Ever consider he was referring to something legal, or maybe just trying to get some Russian off of his back? Duh. But you morons are suspicious of ANYTHING a Democrat does that you have ZERO context or information about, but Trump lies his ass off and commits crimes in plain sight, and all you morons can say is, "Fake news! You're all just out to get him just because you hate him!" Here's a news flash, and there's nothing fake about it: WE HATE HIM FOR GOOD REASON. HE IS AN OBVIOUS CROOK. OPEN YOUR EYES.

  2973. Big cities usually contain at least part of two Congressional districts, and each has a mayor. Each state has two Senators and a governor. Sometimes those positions are held by a Democrat, sometimes a Republican. Urban blight and crime doesn't just appear or disappear every inauguration day. This should be so obvious it doesn't need to be explained. Trump is pushing this idiotic narrative that Democratic leadership causes inner city problems. Is he rolling out some urban renewal plan? Infrastructure? No. It's a bullshit, juvenile, political tactic. He threatens to TAKE AWAY funding from blue areas having problems. The whole thing about Baltimore slums only came about because Trump was mad that Cummings pointed out slum conditions in border detention centers. Anyone who falls for that narrative, will fall for anything he pulls out of his ass.

Colson Wes Biden used money as leverage with the Ukrainians IN HIS CAPACITY AS VICE PRESIDENT, per US policy, with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, in the interest and for the benefit of the United States, NOT for personal gain.

The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

  2986. Everyone is out to get Donald Trump. Why? Because he keeps it real, and blue America can't handle that. Who was in on this election fraud? The DNC, Biden, Biden voters, all elected Democrats, many elected Republicans, legislators in 6 states, judges, mail carriers, poll workers, poll takers, pundits, Democrat and Republican Governors, Secretaries of State, the media, Dominion Software, Bill Barr, Chris Krebs and the federal agency in charge of election security, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... How did they do it? Counterfeit ballots, altered real ballots, throwing ballots in the river, miscounted ballots, fake registrations, illegal immigrants, muscling-out observers, cardboard on windows, double voting, dead people - including Hugo Chavez... Everyone was in on it on every level possible in every way. How did all of those people get away with it right under the noses of Trump supporters? The deep state is deep. Very deep. Or maybe he was simply an inept, dishonest President who never had simple majority support for one day, consistently polled way behind his opponent, spent his term insulting half the country, treated them as his enemy, botched the response to a major health crisis, and LOST.

  2988. Eric Mahon - The collusion probe was okay because there was PROBABLE CAUSE to investigate. Trump and 16 of his associates LIED about 140 Russian contacts. Whether it would lead back to the Trump campaign, the Russian meddling HAD TO BE LOOKED INTO. Why can't you people recognize that? And Trump is STILL eroding our confidence in free, fair, secure elections. Mr. "It's all rigged, folks" is trying to get foreign help, himself. So much so that he is raising red flags in the intel community!

  2989. As Trump says, White Nationalists make up a small group of people with serious problems. But it's only a RELATIVELY small group that used to be a larger group during the mid 20th Century. Their serious problems caused us very serious problems. Trump is self-interested and ignorant of history. His rhetoric is fueling the resurgence of this movement. White Nationalism is on a sharp rise since he took office. The statistics don't lie. If we're not aware of history, we're doomed to repeat it. Surely, Trump has been advised of this, but he chooses to ignore the advice because he wants every votes. He has never had even small majority support, and he is desperate for every vote. You can argue that there is Antifa on the left, but for every Antifa member, there are a hundred right-wing militants, and I haven't heard any left-wing Steve Kings in Congress defending Antifa's ideology. There are virtually ZERO racially based hate groups on the left. When they vote, all of them vote Republican. You can argue about "leftists" attacking free speech, but that's pure hypocrisy. I can point out how lawyers for that kid from Kentucky are suing the free press. Free speech only matters to them when it's convenient.

  2996. Rich B - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  3008.  @ren7784  What do you mean nobody mentions it? Why don't Republicans mention that Trump's associates WILLINGLY worked with Russian spies. That's a fact, and a conclusion of the REPUBLICAN led Senate. Do you realize how many times Trump left himself vulnerable to foreign intelligence and repeated Russian propaganda? A Chinese spy infiltrated Mar-a-Lago. He reviewed intelligence on North Korea by the light of his cell phone at Mar-a-Lago - the personal, vulnerable cell phone he refused to get rid of in favor of a secure phone - because those phones don't keep contacts. Security is the very reason they don't hold contacts. You really want to go there on Swalwell because he was unwittingly used?

  3009. It's best if we give Ukraine every bit of support we can - but draw the line at US troop combat in Europe. If Putin crosses the line with NATO, maybe, but if any foreign nations' soldiers have to fight the Russian military directly, they should be European. Funny how proxy war goes. It's full of self-contradictions and nonsense. The fact remains that US troops fighting over there directly would create a lot more possibility for some really bad shit to happen. Plus, public opinion in the US would not overwhelming favor it - especially after things go bad. Then, majority public opinion would be "Why did we get involved again in a war between two bordering countries across the ocean?"

  3016. Angelica U - If there is bias in the FBI, (Having political opinions does not equal bias), it would also have to be proven that the investigation was compromised by the bias. Just because an agent is biased doesn't mean they're going to fabricate fake evidence or ignore real evidence. That's the kind of thing to argue at trial - not as a pre-emptive matter. Mueller and Rosenstein are Republicans. McCabe is a Republican. (Bill Clinton's special council, Ken Starr - who Clinton, himself, signed-off on - was a Republican). Trump appointed Rosenstein and considered Mueller for FBI Director. James Comey is an independent who used to be a Republican. Comey hurt Clinton's chances by 3 percentage points by announcing his reopening of the email probe right before the election, (over what were obviously going to be found to be duplicate emails - and they were), and did not mention that they were also looking into possible Trump camp/Russia collusion. Sure looks to me like the FBI has been more than fair to Trump.

  3022. Donald Trump lied when he said he was unaware of those hush money payments. That has been proven. He became an unindicted co-conspirator in a case involving bank fraud that sent his personal lawyer to prison. Trump lied when he said he had no dealings with Russia during his campaign. He was trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that required approval from Putin himself. Trump was SEEKING FAVOR FROM RUSSIA WHILE RUSSIA WAS ATTACKING A US ELECTION IN HIS FAVOR. The Russians knew he was lying to us, and could use that to BLACKMAIL him. Does anyone really believe Trump was unaware that his son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman were meeting with Russian government surrogates for the purpose of obtaining stolen material on their opponent? Trump continues to lie by saying the Mueller Report concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction. These are only 4 of the 11,000 lies Trump has told in the last 2 1/2 years. To give this some perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Bill Clinton was IMPEACHED over a lie about his personal life, and if you say, "Clinton lied under oath", I'll point out that Trump refused to go under oath, and has blocked dozens of his staff from testifying, citing statutes that literally do not exist. What should that tell us?

  3030. Trump says border facilities are much better than they were under Obama. False. Under Obama, there were far fewer juvenile detainees. Now, they are 10 TIMES over capacity. Under Obama, they were there for less time, and had soap, toothpaste, and beds. Trump told reporters that "A lot of those children come from places you don't even want to know about", referring to bad conditions in their home countries. No, Mr. Trump, YOU don't want to know about it. He has been saying quite the opposite. Trump has set up for-profit facilities that charge $700 A DAY PER DETAINEE. You can stay at the Motel 6 for $60 a day, and you get all the soap and towels you need, a clean bed, and a shower, plus obviously much more. He wants Democrats to give him more money? To sign a Republican bill? So he can then blame Democrats for the conditions like he blames Obama?? "Hey, Dems voted for it". Trump is an appalling, lying piece of shit.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

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 sometime". 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.

I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but I think Trump has ODD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, a condition where someone refuses to take advice or suggestions simply because they can't stand to be told what to do. It's why he repeats behavior that reflects poorly on him, even though he is obsessed with his image. A family member I know well has this condition. I always said, "If he was standing in the road, and I said, 'Car's coming. Move,'" he would stand there and get hit rather than move. When Trump got elected, I started noticing LOTS of similarities between them. I used to also think that if my family member had money or power, he'd be dangerous.

  3049. Trump supporters, if you wonder why we liberals have such a distaste for Donald Trump, well, I can't speak for all liberals, but I'd bet many of us feel this way: In the words of a REPUBLICAN Senator from a state I love and spent many of my formative years, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker - "He doesn't understand the content and character of this country". I'm also a native New Yorker. So is Trump. I might remind you, he lost his home state in 2016. Another quote by a New Jersey native, Bill Maher - "He ran out of suckers in New York". I doubt Donald Trump knows why he wanted to be POTUS. He is blinded by his own narcissism, (and I suspect, an inferiority complex stemming from daddy issues). He thinks he knows everything, as if pre-ordained with wisdom - the way we think when we're 17. At 17, we think we know everything. But he never learned that isn't true. Now, he is 71, and good luck getting an old fart to change. He doesn't understand the JOB DESCRIPTION. He is a simple minded, stubborn relic of the past. As Bill Maher also said, "He's a 50s guy". His glory days were during Vietnam when his "personal Vietnam was trying not to get VD". I actually don't blame him for draft-dodging that war, but it was while another future prominent Republican didn't, and was being tortured. Now, the utter, cocky disrespect of saying, "I like guys who didn't get captured". Bill Clinton dodged the draft, but can you imagine Clinton saying that? Trump stands for nothing, and that, to me, is okay. But he doesn't know that America stands for something - or at least we're trying like hell to stand for what we say we do. That's why other countries we invade and fuck over are so willing to forgive us. He's not just selling out our treasury, but worse, our principles, because he's virtually an immature child who doesn't know any better. Obama and many others are right when they say Trump is "transactional". You see it in his "art of the deal". So, is it such a stretch to think he might be selling us out to Putin - another aging narcissist, (see 60 something year-old shirtless on a horse), who wants to restore his own country to its glory days? Such a stretch to think Trump is all in it for himself? By the way, I'd also bet he lost the war against VD. Trashing the judiciary, the FBI (with rabid personal vendettas), the CIA, football players exercising their 1st Amendment rights, immigrants (yes, he knows he's blurring the lines between legal and illegal), the free press.., I can go on... is short-sighted and unacceptable. Being POTUS, like no other job, means giving yourself up to a group of 320 million people. That's why presidents, once elected, try to govern from the center. Narcissists are not qualified. Simple minded people who see things as black and white, left and right, like a war, will divide, and then people like Putin come in and conquer. Let the Congress be partisan. POTUS is a unique position Trump does not understand. Plus, he's a fucking habitual liar. You can't trust him one bit. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - Trump chose Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon, as his first Sec. of State.

Trump fired Tillerson the day after he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  3058. As if anyone thinks Donald Trump would even accept the results of this audit if it uncovered no fraud. Funny thing is, that could be the Republicans' way out of this self-made embarrassment. They could do a real, honest audit, and when it proves no fraud, just give us some BS line about how they were just trying to restore faith in the electoral system. (Of course, they're the ones who created all of the doubt in the first place). But they will NEVER do that!

  3066. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible rather than fudge numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means less MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, tell me - How a fake poll helps a candidate?

(He claimed Clinton set up a massive undocumented voter scheme to win California - a state she had virtually no chance of losing anyway).

What if she had lied about pursuing a business deal with them? What if 16 of her staffers all lied about their contacts with Russians? Imagine if her people were working to lift their sanctions. Imagine if Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..." Imagine if her campaign manager had offered to brief the Russians and had given them polling data. Imagine if she then denied that they even interfered, against the findings of the CIA and FBI. What if she had fired the FBI Director and said she had done it to stop a probe? You Trump followers wouldn't want an investigation?

  3090. Slip Knot - When you spend a campaign openly buddying-up to a foreign adversary, asking them for dirt on your opponent, 16 of your people lie about their activities, and you fire the FBI Director over it, you get investigated. Would you have been okay with it if Biden, Clinton or Obama had done that or would you want an investigation? - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - Trump said, "NATO is obsolete".

Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

  3091. W.t. Bonsell - Records are kept and there are avenues to contest elections. Republicans exhsusted all of them, and barely any honest mistakes were found. In the real, normal world, if you suspect an election is inaccurate, you take those avenues. You don't accuse the crime of fraud unless you see evidence of it. Try going to the cops and saying, "I think I'm going to be robbed next month." What do you think they'd tell you? Then go back the next month and claim that EVERYBODY robbed you in EVERY way possible and impossible, without any leads or suspects to go on. They'd laugh you out of the police station.

  3093.  @iant4060  - It's already been PROVEN there is nothing. Why should we trust a biased audit run by incompetent conspiracy theorists and Trump loyalists over MANY previous official audits. I'm not worried about what they'll find. I know what they'll SAY they found. I'm worried about the threat to democracy being inspired by an habitual liar who duped a bunch of idiots into believing ridiculous things and refuse to accept reality. Trump's OWN PEOPLE did a post-election "autopsy" and guess what? They acknowledged Biden had a comfortable lead and made no mention of fraud. Trump never had an approval rating over 49% for even one day, and never expanded past his base. He INSULTED the people he needed to vote for him! Jeez, man, COMMON SENSE.
    4
  3094.  @iant4060  - So how did the "conspiracy" work? Are you trying to say those were counterfeit ballots? Have you thought about what it would take to pull off a conspiracy like that? You people act like anything you don't understand is evidence of some nefarious behavior. What does "late in the day" have to do with anything? Trump complained that if the results weren't in on election night, there must be cheating - in Biden's favor, of course. Well, the Arizona audit is taking MONTHS. Ballots came in late because the biggest counties take longer to process. Those are also the areas most likely to vote Democrat - big metropolitan areas with bigger minority populations. In some states, mail-in ballots weren't allowed to be counted until election day, after the non-mail-in count, and Trump TOLD his voters not to vote by mail. Dems also voted by mail much more because Trump politicized the pandemic and duped his following into not worrying about the pandemic. By the way, have you considered people might have voted against him because he screwed-up his COVID response and lied about it? Hell, he was an HABITUAL liar. People tend to not vote for proven liars. You act like anyone can just counterfeit ballots and sneak them into a machine. They correspond to REGISTERED VOTERS, and they cannot be run through twice. How would the identity thieves know who wasn't going to show up to vote? The recounts matched up. Think, McFly.

  3100. Blaise MacPherson - Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  3101. If this was Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman and his assistant, her personal attorney, her campaign security advisor, and her foreign policy advisor, who had flipped, and in addition, a dozen or so other close aides had admitted to lying about Russian contacts - one being her daughter, would you folks say it wasn't newsworthy? Would you call it a "witch hunt", and call distinguished, high level public servants crooks? Would you believe it if Hillary said they're ALL lying? Do you people HEAR YOURSELVES??

  3108. - Does anyone seriously think Trump was working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? ONLY Biden? With no evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden that was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why would he fill her role with his personal attorney and two indicted criminals, none of whom work for the government? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust crooked Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016, and dismiss the findings of the CIA? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win? - Trump literally has had more campaign staff and close aides indicted and implicated in crimes, and lost more White House staff and cabinet members to scandal and due to criminal behavior than any other president. And he's fighting corruption in Ukraine?!? - Mueller detailed 10 instances of obstruction, and specifically said he was not cleared of that. - Trump dangled pardons to officials working on his border wall. He told them to ignore eminent domain laws to take their land. When that leaked, Trump said he was "joking". Okay, let's get these officials under oath and ask them, "Did you take it as a joke, or did you take action?" - Trump is on tape directing Michael Cohen to start an LLC to launder the hush payments to Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model. That's what got him designated as an unindicted co-conspirator, "Individual 1", in court filings. The crime involved FEC violations and bank fraud. - Trump altered an official weather chart with a sharpie. That is a crime. It caused turmoil and confusion in Alabama, and within government weather agencies, just because the president cannot admit even small mistakes. - Trump obstructed justice by firing James Comey over Russia, and attempting to fire Robert Mueller. He drafted a false statement for his son to cover up the infamous Trump Tower meeting, where Don Jr, Jarred Kushner, and Paul Manafort met surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump intimidated Marie Yavanovich via Twitter during her testimony to the House Intel Committee. He sent similar tweets taunting James Comey, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe and Michael Cohen. - Trump has violated the public trust by lying to the public 13,000 times in 3 years. To put that in perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. And the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton over ONE LIE about his personal life! But as long as the president isn't under oath, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Why should it matter that he lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that needed Kremlin approval? What's a little conflict of interest with a country that was ACTIVELY ATTACKING OUR ELECTION TO HELP HIM WIN? What's a little vulnerability to blackmail by Putin? - Trump has refused to divest his businesses, and refuses to show his tax returns. He is lying about why he is breaking his promise to release them. Meanwhile, he is breaking the emoluments clause, raking in money from lobbyists and foreign dignitaries who pay to stay at his hotels. But Trump wouldn't put the government up for sale, would he? He said he was draining the swamp! - Why not trust an habitual liar whose charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality"? Why worry about the ethics of a president who used that charity's funds to "donate" $25k to an AG in Florida who declined to move forward on a lawsuit of his sham university, and then gave that AG a high paying job in the federal government? Trump once said, "I love spending other peoples' money". Well now, "other people" are the American taxpayers.

  3110. CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet no crime scene and no suspect. This is ridiculous.

  3120. Trump called the Russian bounty reports a "hoax". Well, that's the same as 1)- Telling Russia they can get away with anything they want to do to us, and 2)- that he will not condemn Russia, not even to say, "even if you didn't, you better not," and he will take no action at all to deal with this. Did he need proof when he was accusing Biden of crimes? Obama? Iran? North Korea (sometimes)? Joe Scarborough? Clinton? Ted Cruz' father? BLM? The "deep state"..?

  3121. 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.

It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  3140. 1247.cc - Trump lied about even knowing who David Duke was after he was right there on video talking about him at an earlier time. There's a pattern with Trump, where he will refuse to reject the support of bad actors until he finally, half-heartedly denounces them. But then, he goes right back to welcoming their support. You people insisting "CNN lies" are fucking ridiculous. You say it constantly, and when only a FEW of you actually attempt to name an actual lie, it's never an actual lie, and you have to dig way back into the past to find those bs examples. If they lie constantly, you should be able to rattled off a list of ACTUAL LIES. The supreme hypocrisy is when you do it in defense of Donald Trump, who is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

And males in general need to learn how to deal with their emotions when it comes to females. It's not just mass shootings and not just at school.

  3154. eve blot - If you think a jetliner fully fueled for a cross-country flight crashing into a building can't burn hot enough to melt steel, you're wrong. It didn't melt the whole beams, anyway. It bent the beams, and the connection points snapped. Watch PBS, "Why the Towers Fell". It goes into graphic detail. - Yes, a guy in a cave could easily plan that attack. It was cleverly simple. They used box cutters, legal visas, and false bomb threats. The hijackers were already on US intelligence radar. They never surfaced again afterwards because they were dead. - It is naive to think anyone could sneak-in and install the massive amount of explosives it would take to bring down the towers. I'm from New York. I've been to the top of the WTC, and I went to ground zero in 2002. There was damage, high up, to a building across the street due to the flying debris. Do you all have any idea how huge those towers were? You could not appreciate their size from pictures or TV. Where do you think they planted these explosives (that had to be wired together)? In the closets? Behind doors? Sure. "Cable guy. Just here to replace the coaxial"! The WTC was bombed in 1993. Think security wouldn't notice? Nobody would get suspicious? The sheer amount of C4, or whatever, would have raised red flags. You can't just go buy massive amounts of bomb making material at Wal-Mart. Military weapons have to be accounted for. Not to mention the cost - money that would have to come from somewhere and be laundered. Do you know how many people would have to be contracted just to wire the place? Someone would have had to set them off at the right times. Just those people alone - never mind for the whole operation - were all approached, and ALL agreed to be in on such a despicable plan, and none of them informed the FBI? - Building 7 caught fire. They let it burn because it was empty of people and every single resource had to be used to try to save the lives of those in the Twin Towers. Manhattan is an island of concrete. It was shaken to the core, and it's amazing that more buildings didn't crumble. "But the reporter said it had fallen before it did". Why the hell would the conspirators tell the news about it? The news. You know, people who live to expose things. Okay, add the people at that news outlet to those who didn't mind letting their own country be attacked by its own government. - For those who think the Pentagon was hit by a missile - The military attacked its own headquarters? Many witnesses saw the plane hit, despite the idiotic theories about the security camera footage, which, btw, took pictures in frames. Add the military to the list of people evil enough to commit mass murder on its own people. It isn't like one commander can just sneak into a room, push a few buttons, and viola, send missiles wherever they want! Why use planes, (or explosives) on two targets, then use a missile on another? Why do it at all? Wouldn't that be overkill? "Gee, I'm not sure destroying the Twin Towers would be enough of an excuse to start a war in the Middle East. Better hit the Pentagon (of all targets), and building 7". Seriously? And not to mention... -... The planes. But I'm sure two airlines were in on it, too, and didn't mind destroying/hiding 4 aircraft for that, right? Add officials at those airlines to the list of willing participants who were sure to keep their mouths shut. The plane that went down in Pennsylvania was headed to the Capitol or the White House, right? Again, of all the targets, they needed to destroy their own most important buildings to really sell a war in the Middle East to the public? Really? - Bin Laden admitted doing it! So did Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Bin Laden said he did it because of Palestine and sanctions on Iraq. It was later revealed that his plan was to goad the US into a war in Afghanistan. BTW, I read the 9/11 Commission report, cover to cover. Read it, and notice it makes a lot more sense than these absurdly complicated, expensive, and risky conspiracy theories. - For those who think there were no planes, or only two or three - think records. Flight records. Death records. Funerals. Air traffic control logs. Each passenger's friends, family, and loved ones' phone records and documents about plans for all of those trips. - Agencies involved in the planning and the "cover up". Agencies involved in the investigation - the FBI, CIA, EPA, local police, fire and rescue, lawyers involved in lawsuits against the airlines and the government, victims who formed groups to do their own investigations, the military and military intelligence. Do you folks have any idea how many documents across how many organizations would have to be forged? How many false alibies? How much money and money laundering? The sheer number of people who would have to participate in such an act of mass murder of their own fellow citizens and country, and nobody talked!? - And you folks think this was done for those no-bid Halliburton contracts in Iraq!? BTW, the lion's share of the benefits went to Halliburton! What would have been in it for all of those conspirators? Does the phrase, "unnecessarily complicated" mean anything to you folks? It would only have taken a truck or boat bomb like Al Qaeda had already used in Kenya, Tanzania, and on the USS Cole. A single false flag bombing of an embassy overseas. After the previous attacks, after Al Qaeda had declared war on the US in 1997, Bush and Cheney would have sent troops into Afghanistan and Iraq just the same! For the record, I think Cheney was a total war profiteer for Haliburton, and kind of an evil guy, but not THAT evil! Wouldn't it have made more sense, if a single, much smaller false flag bombing wasn't enough, for these government conspirators to simply recruit Al Qaeda to do exactly what they did do - hijack planes and crash them into buildings?!? Without the literally hundreds, if not thousands of people who could inform, the money, the forgeries, and all of the potential evidence left all over the place - in Manhattan, Washington, on computers, in file cabinets, eyewitness accounts... Think, McFly!!! - You conspiracy theorists have it backwards. You start with little details you can't make sense out of and use those details to justify a preconceived conclusion. That's not the way to find the truth. There are evil people out there who really conspire to do evil things. But if you have such little faith in humanity that you think that many people would be willing to do something that horrible, I feel sorry for you. Conspiracies happen, but they involve a lot fewer people and a lot less detail. Put those skeptical minds on a conspiracy that actually makes sense, like the Kennedy assassination or Trump/Russia.

  3155. T Boned - You think they backed down. That's cute. Kinda looks like Trump backed down. He said he was going to bomb 52 targets in Iran if they retaliated for Soleimeni. They did, and he didn't. You could say Trump drew a red line, Iran crossed it, and he did nothing - except threaten the Iraqis, the ones caught in the middle.

  3156. I'd like to suggest some talking points for Democrats to use to push back on Trump. HE LIES! CONSTANTLY! You have hundreds, if not thousands of hours of footage of him lying.

There are many cases of police brutality, but this is NOT one of them.

  3161. Democrats should run on, (and actually do something about funding and reforming) public education. 1)- It's an issue women are concerned about. After 2 years of Trump and Betsy DeVos, I think women are sick of Trump's misogyny and DeVos' incompetence. 2)- It's an issue best suited for Dems. Republicans are fond of calling teachers' unions "terrorist groups", and 3)- Isn't the fact that Trump is in office a clear sign that our education system is failing?

  3163. 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.

  3171. The CDC Director says if everyone would just go get vaccinated, this could be over in a matter of weeks. All the arguments over masks, personal freedom, ever-changing recommendations, obnoxious news reports, school rules, varying rules at bars and ballparks, the ridiculous fights in Congress... all of it - Done. Over. In the past. I'd bet money that half of those who refuse the vaccine aren't really worried about it being unsafe. They're caught-up in the politics and principles. The pandemic's end wouldn't mean you can't still take your concerns about what to do next time to the government. Do people really believe that half of the world is suddenly going to get sick or drop dead in 5 years? We can already rule out the possibility of that happening within a year and a half. The chance of it goes down exponentially as time goes on. It's not like there's one scientist in the world who determined the vaccine was safe. Epidemiologists and virologists all over the world came to a consensus. There are 3 different vaccines with different ingredients. I haven't heard anyone say that J&J is fine, but that an ingredient in Moderna's is bad. Vaccine refusers don't research that. It seems to me that if they were truly concerned, they would. Their opinion would be more credible if it was based on specific science. We're more likely to hear crackpot claims about the vaccine like that idiot who thought it magnetized her forehead. She obviously didn't know or try to learn anything about biology or magnetism or she'd have known that was impossible. Anyone who thinks these restrictions are so bad should want to get it behind us. It's almost certain to get FDA approval. You can get it anywhere for free with no waiting. Why not just get the vaccine?

  3177. There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, charity fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

Putin RECENTLY publicly tried to use that revisionist bs about Afghanistan, then Trump repeated it! He has done that dozens of times with Russia. He repeats their propaganda verbatim. Why did Trump request ONE change to the RNC platform...the one that withdraws our support for the Ukrainian resistance? It's plain as day!

  3182.  @johnpatrick1647  - There's a difference between a counterintelligence probe and spying on a campaign. None of the information gathered was given to the Clinton campaign or anybody for that matter. They spied on Carter Page, who had recently been involved in a Russian spy ring and then they found him working for the Trump campaign, traveling to Moscow to make speeches disparaging US policy. Hell yeah, intelligence shouldn't keep an eye on that guy! The probe originally was looking at Russia, and their interference. When they did, they found the Russians kept leading back to Trump, who, along with 16 of his associates, LIED about their contacts with Russian officials and intelligence officers.

  3189. Notice that Trump also made a veiled threat to FOX News. He said that he has power over the debates they host on their network. So, is he saying that he wants them to FAKE their polls to make him look more favorable? Seems to me, legitimate poll numbers just are what they are. It is an actual fact that Trump paid for fake online polls in 2016. Imagine that - the liar who cries "fake news" all the time is a faker. Also, remember he actually told his voters it was okay to cheat in his favor and vote twice. One Trump voter got caught doing just that.

Calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He repeatedly refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to black people. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. Think about it - He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive to many, HE REPEATS THEM! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! He shouldn't even have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader?? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is the PERCEPTION. These are fair criticisms. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a BIGOT WHO PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is OBVIOUS!

  3194. Q McDonald -... and the Central Park 5. I'm sure there are also more examples. I was rattling-off things right off the top of my head. They don't see he is a racist because they only hear what they want to. The Trump following is like a cult.

  3195. To say Trump was tougher on Russia than any other President is laughable. Obama sanctioned them for invading Ukraine. Exxon/Mobile, a US oil company, could have made a $500 billion deal with a Russian oil company, but Putin invaded Ukraine, so Obama stopped the deal. Trump has been trying to LIFT sanctions. Mnuchin is trying to lift them on a Russian oligarch tied to the election meddling. The heat is on, yet they persist? Blackmail? Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was tougher on Russia than anyone. That's why Putin wanted her out of the running. Nobody can say Reagan was soft on them. Nobody has been easier on them than Trump.

  3201. LAST CALL - So?! They're all audited, but they all managed to release their returns. What makes Trump different? And don't tell me it's because he's a businessman. He's not the first businessman to hold office. MOST presidents have run businesses. Do you realize how many high level politicians have sat on multiple boards of directors?

  3202. If he wasn't president, would Trump be qualified for and get Senate confirmation to be head of the EPA? DHS? NSA? Treasury? HHS? CIA? Labor Dept...? Could he cut it as CEO of Wal-Mart? Apple? Would the military make him a General? Would FOX News hire him for anything on camera other than being a contributor?

  3203. mr benchpress - If you say Clinton's oppo research was collusion, then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Don Jr said that was just oppo research. Unlike with the dossier, there was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade dirt for sanction relief. How was one wrong, and the other okay?

  3204. Larry Howard - Sharing it with surrogates of the Russian government as part of a conspiracy is absolutely a crime. You think they're done with Manafort?
    3
  3205. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has an acronym, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.

Clinton, Obama, and even GW Bush understood this.

  3215. CNN is the McDonalds of news. Let's say ingredients are FACTS. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. Even the slime comes from a real cow. If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS. FOX News can't pass the health inspection.

  3217.  @bovineone2420  - It is absolutely true. Trump is flat-out saying they get a pass because of the money - and he is lying about the money. It isn't a $110 billion arms deal, and the Saudi's can't just go buy weapons from Russia or China because they need weapons for US systems.

  3219. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they couldn't hide the "station" in the sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and height. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.5 billion years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're that advanced and made spacecrafts versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different times on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT.

  3230. - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  3231. Democrats should run on healthcare, education and marijuana. - Healthcare is a kitchen table issue that needs working out. Republicans have offered NOTHING except to try to destroy Obamacare. No replace. Just repeal. And don't think for a moment that Trump wants to save pre-existing condition protections. (Can we use initials for that? Maybe PECPs? People leave out the word, "protections", and say "I'll KEEP pre-existing conditions", because it's a mouthful. Without the word, "protections", they're being vague or even saying the opposite. - Education is a Democratic issue. Trump reflects a failure in the public education system. It's the Republicans who call teachers unions "terrorist organizations". It's the Republican Betsy DeVos who is screwing public educators further for the profit of private, and faith-based private school administrators. - The numbers don't lie. It's time. One party better claim the legalization platform before the other does. Marijuana legalization is DIRECTLY tied to problems in the prison system. Dems should take those bragging rights back from Trump/Kushner's so-called prison reform initiatives, which left much of the problem unaddressed.

  3232. Why do we only hear about masks and distance? I think people mindlessly go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is the same as being too close. Elevators and city busses are major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. How many people attend events in cars, but stop at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often thins crowds, and allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Are you aware of touching your eyes after taking off your shoes, after walking on possibly virus-covered floors? The more a virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Then we need a new vaccine.

  3248. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  3252. 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.

  3255. It's no wonder that it's mostly those on the political right who are complaining about masks. They're the same people who keep fear-mongering about socialism. Some things are better off handled by the government, the collective, and some things better left to the free market and the individual. They have a fundamental misunderstanding about the need to balance the two.

  3256. kenny lucas - So, was Biden himself the ringleader of this "fraud" effort, or was it the DNC, Soros, or individual voters acting alone? You morons haven't even worked that out, have you? It's just "All of them did everything," right? SMH.

  3257.  @dparker8457  - There is no evidence supporting Trump's claims that GOP poll watchers were shut out of the process. - Officials have repeatedly debunked claims of dead people voting. In some cases, voters the campaign claimed were dead were not. In others, the voter's name was the same as or similar to a deceased individual. - The US Supreme Court has rejected Trump's case. - While Georgia's recount process doesn't involve matching signatures, voters' signatures were verified twice before the ballots were included in the count in the first place. - It's untrue that there were more votes than people in several parts of Michigan. In fact, 878,102 people voted for president in Wayne County which has a population of over 1.7 million. In Detroit, 250,138 people voted and there were 670,031 people in the city as of 2019. - The DOJ found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. - Though they allege it publicly, Trump's lawyers are NOT claiming fraud in court. - A statement issued from a joint group of election officials, including federal employees working in the Trump administration and for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, declared, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." - Over the course of the four weeks following the election, Trump sent around 500 tweets, 171 of which were flagged by Twitter for containing false or misleading information about the election.

  3259.  @YUMLiberalTears  Here's what Trump did. I'm sure you'd be okay with Biden doing these things, huh? - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  3260. Chuck Bednarke - "CNN Lies! CNN Lies!" So NAME ONE LIE. None of you idiots has ever been able to name ONE LIE, and no, they never faked any reports with a green screen. Name a lie, or shut the fuck up. Know who DOES lie CONSTANTLY? Donald Trump. That's a FACT. Do you know how STUPID you sound?

  3261. Imagine winning, even though you were a long shot, and still bitching and crying foul because you didn't win the popular vote. Then, investigate to "prove" there was fraud, find none, but continue to say there was fraud.

  3262. Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks a few FBI agents or Antifa members. could incite a riot on the spot, but that Trump, Giuliani, and Stone couldn't possibly incite one with months of inflammatory rhetoric. It was the FBI and Antifa, but they don't want an investigation. Makes sense.
    3
  3263. Yes, Trump's racist rhetoric was dangerous. There's been an up-tick in hate crimes against Asians as a direct result. But it's STUPID to use THIS CRIME in Atlanta as an example. It wasn't necessarily racist. It was misogynistic. He had bad issues with women. He targeted PROSTITUTES, not Asians. It just so happens that prostitution is done practically in the openl at Asian massage parlors. Hate crimes laws are redundant and absurd. They should be used like the death penalty - In the WORST CASES WHEN GUILT IS CERTAIN. Are we supposed to figure out the nonsensical motives of people with messed-up minds? The media could've reported the rise in attacks on Asians at any time, but they waited to seize on this flimsy, vague example. It will backfire. Right-wingers have a point. If you play "gotcha" with technicalities in peoples' every word, you're acting like Trump and his minions. There's nothing at all wrong with that cop saying the suspect "had a bad day." It IS wrong for a cop to post racist BS online that slams COVID restrictions he's duty-bound to enforce. The "PC police" make liberals like me - who draw the the line at hyper-political correctness - have to concede that point to conservatives who just fill their argument with diversions, obfuscations, and whataboutism. We should be trying to discourage bad faith debate where people won't concede a single point because it weakens their larger argument.

  3264. The case against Trump is cut an dry. Anyone who argues otherwise KNOWS they are full of shit, no matter how dumb or naive they may be.

  3265. MakeSamNewcome CryAgain - Oh, that's all the proof you need, huh? So what if Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility after the next election? To do WHAT? We don't know. Maybe something LEGAL? Maybe Obama had a busy schedule. Maybe he was brushing the Russian off. "Don't call me. I'll call you". "Yeah, we should do lunch some time". Trump followers point to vagaries as proof of something nefarious, like saying the words "insurance policy" in a text proves a deep state conspiracy. But show them a ton of suspicious activity and lies by Trump, and they not only dismiss it as nothing, but insist we don't have reason to be suspicious at all.
    3
  3266. If Trump is innocent, when he found out Mike Flynn was talking sanction relief with the Russians behind Trump's back, why didn't he fire Flynn immediately? There was already suspicion. Why wasn't Trump super-pissed at him? (Same with Kushner, Sessions, Stone, Corsi, Page, Papadopoulos, Manafort...)

  3267. He literally couldn't look the reporters in the eyes at the press conference the other day.

  3268. Lemme take a wild guess. It's going to be all about collusion and nothing about WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE RUSSIAN ATTACK - COLLUSION OR NOT! They are such fucking jackass morons. And, what, a PRE-rebuttal? Man, Trump's got to go!

  3269. If only the damage could be done along party lines.

  3270. Unless they're a member of a hate group, you're never going to definitively prove someone is a racist. It's like when someone says, "Are you calling me a liar?" What does that mean, "a liar"? You're saying they're lying about the issue at hand. Is Steve Bannon "officially" a racist? His supporters would argue until the 5th of never that you have to "prove it", but if you call your publication "the platform for the alt-right", and say you're not racist, it's like saying, "I'm not a Klan member, but I host their meetings at my house". Trump repeatedly says and does racist things, He is a policy maker, so he is more dangerous than some backwoods Klan hick. Don't let him and his supporters rope you into arguing the technicalities of each lie and accusation. There is a clear pattern of Russian collusion around him, but his followers argue that each one technically doesn't prove to be criminal beyond a doubt. Yes, that definitely has to be proven in court, but to say there isn't basis for suspicion is absurd. Unfounded suspicion is certainly enough for those hypocrites to conclude Clinton is guilty of fraud and high treason - even without evidence and usually with provably false information. Don't fall into Trumpers' transactional traps. There are undeniable patterns.

I've been hoping she'd raise her profile for a while now.

  3277. They're private companies. Blocking isn't lying. And they don't block you over politics.
    3
  3278. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.
    3
  3279. Trump didn't start this crap over slums in Baltimore. Like he's rolling-out an urban renewal plan or something. Trump is mad because Cummings called out the DHS chief for slum conditions in migrant detention centers. The head of DHS directly contradicted A DHS REPORT that said those places are "ticking time bombs". We are paying private contractors $700 PER PERSON PER DAY to house detainees, and they won't provide mattresses and soap.

  3280. As Trump said, collusion is not a crime. Collusion is cooperation. Did Trump and his people cooperate with the Russian government? Absolutely. Volume 1 of the report is a detail of that cooperation. Mueller did not, as Trump insists, make a finding of "no collusion". Mueller did NOT say that, which means Trump is deliberately LYING. He found insufficient evidence to charge the CRIME of CONSPIRACY. He did NOT say there was no wrongdoing. He had insufficient evidence to prove INTENT. He couldn't prove that Trump and his people knew what they were doing WAS WRONG. Volume 2 details 10 instances of OBSTRUCTION. Mueller COULD NOT charge Trump with that crime because he wasn't permitted to charge a sitting president. He DID say, however, that it was a POLITICAL matter, not a LEGAL one. That's for Congress to pursue. If Congress finds enough evidence of high crimes, (Obstruction), and misdemeanors, (serious wrongdoing), the remedy would be IMPEACHMENT in the House, and REMOVAL by the Senate. Mueller CLEARLY stated that he could NOT clear Trump of obstruction. He did not say that about conspiracy. Trump is LYING when he says Mueller exonerated him. (And he can't have it both ways. If Mueller is illegitimate, how can the "exoneration" be legitimate?) Mueller didn't feel a conspiracy case could get a conviction in court. Case closed. That doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing or no collusion. It certainly does NOT mean that the investigation was illegal, treasonous, or a political witch hunt. There was OBVIOUSLY probable cause. Mueller obviously felt that an obstruction case could get a conviction in court, (Over 1000 former federal prosecutors attest to that), BUT he wasn't allowed to bring such a case. He won't explicitly say that because DOJ rules also say he can't give his opinion about persons not indicted, meaning Donald Trump. That's the mistake Comey made with Clinton, (which, by the way, HELPED Trump win. Look at the thanks he got). Democrats and, (if there are any), decent Republicans in Congress need to do their required oversight, ie., start the impeachment inquiry that Mueller has given them PROBABLE CAUSE for. I wish he would be more vocal, but Mueller has done all he can legally do. Democrats should grow balls and stop worrying about that damn election. It's almost a year and a half away. Deal with the lying, inept criminal who is in office NOW!

  3281.  Mueller Time  "Obamagate." LOL. Even Trump couldn't say what that was.

  3282.  Mueller Time  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  3283. Dems need to end the filibuster FAST, pass all of those VERY POPULAR bills that have already passed the House, and run on THOSE SUCCESSES in 2022. Manchin and Sinema are opposing EVERYTHING the Dems do, even opposing bills that have virtually all Democratic and half Republican support. How does that make any sense? Maybe they're on the take? If they're going to side with Republicans 100% of the time, why should Arizonans and West Viginians even want them there? Democrats, DON'T SUIPORT THEIR REELECTION. PRIMARY THEM!

Trump wants the money for that for the specufic purpose of keeping the FBI building in DC insteadcof moving to Virginia because he doesn't want a competing hotel to buy the building. It has nothing to do with COVID.

  3286. It's TRUMP who won't move on! He could let these people testify and put it all behind him, especially since he says Mueller "exonerated" him, but he won't. When is FOX News going to move on past this "illegal investigation" crap? It is a FACT that neither the dossier or the FISA warrant started either the counterintelligence or Mueller probes, but will they let that go? How about all those Benghazi probes? You people are blind hypocrites. YOU are the brainwashed!

  3319. People need to clear their heads and realize the insanity going on here. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, a VICTIM of the Russian hacking. - Is he saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? He STILL won't believe the intelligence agencies? Think he's going to safeguard our elections if he keeps saying that? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. Does it matter why the DNC outsourced the forensics? It makes no sense that they would leak their own emails. THE RUSSIANS DID IT. We know that, and once and for all, Trump needs to take a position and stick to it. We should DEMAND that! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in. It's reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that! How can he defend law and order?? We're letting him get away with it. Now, they're not even holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Are we going to say, "Oh, that's just Trump"? If you're a Trump supporter, you don't care if we can't be confident that our elections are fair? If so, to you, I say FUCK YOU! Just wait. Your boy is FUCKED!! - Trump is dumb, but he KNOWS BETTER. When the did this kind of behavior become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. If you don't think, with EVERYTHING ELSE he has said and done, and his associates have been caught doing and lying about, you are a FOOL!!

  3320. Anyone who goes to the edge of the law the way Trump does, as a matter of practice, with his attitude, probably habitually breaks the law. He is an habitual liar. He is dumb as duck shit. He and his associates don't cover their tracks well. How is he still President? How? Is this just the slow, grinding wheels of justice? Mueller just dotting i's and crossing t's? This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't such a ridiculously, dangerously incompetent President. But EVERY SINGLE DAY, this man has done or said something outrageous. The scandals, lawsuits and indictments are piling up, and all he can answer with are conspiracy theories about the deep state and saying it's just liberal haters who can't stand that he's so successful. SERIOUSLY? Watching the news is like watching The Twilight Zone now.

  3322. Abuse of power, soliciting foreign government election help, and obstruction of Congress are crimes, but it is well established there doesn't need to be a crime to impeach. The readout, not transcript, (which Trump hid), shows the extortion plain as day, but it isn't about a phone call. It's about scheme it exposed. Which one is it? There WAS a quid pro quo, as Mulvaney admitted, but it was perfectly legal, (yet somehow, Biden's, done in service of the country and backed by the REPUBLICANS, supposedly wasn't), or there was no quid pro quo at all? TRUMP IS ARGUING BOTH. Do you fools even THINK about the nonsense talking points you parrot?

  3325.  @dogpoofairy2517  Did you complain when Trump did what many accuse Biden of doing - Trump gave ostensive approval of China's Muslim concentration camps directly to Xi. Biden tried to EXPLAIN their mentality. He did not excuse them. The Obama/Biden Administration called out human rights abuses. Why would Biden suddenly flip and SAY PUBLICLY that he excuses those atrocities? You're trying hard to tie Biden to China, but there's NO evidence of corruption. "He 'got money' from China" is a vague with no context. Did you complain that Trump personally made $5.6 million from Chinese, state-run companies during his term? Getting Ivanka Chinese trademarks? Asking China to investigate Biden? Producing products in China while in a trade war with them? https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

  3328. Joe Biden will be President of the ENTIRE United States. The root cause of practically all of the problems we have had under Trump has been DIVISION. Like Obama said, "There is no red or blue America." Think Obama's VP is going to abandon that sentiment? Biden has already reiterated it. The MAGA crowd wants to divide EVERY ISSUE into "us and them," then completely ignore the concerns of the opposition they create. A pandemic should have never become a political issue. It's ridiculous! We ALL want a thriving economy. We all want the virus gone. But Trump ignores the problem that threatens the economy the same way he ignores how climate change threatens the economy. He ONLY focuses on the economy, and refuses to even acknowledge the science, (unless he wants to use it to his advantage. "I saved MILLIONS of lives by stopping a few flights from China." Then, it's a horrible disease, right?) Racism should never be a political issue! If you say only Liberals protest racism, what does that say about Conservatives? That you can't be both Conservative AND oppose racism?? Then, they complain about being seen as racist! Then, we get that ABSURD argument about how the Democrats used to be the more racist party. Yeah, USED TO BE. Now, the racist groups are on the right, and they SUPPORT TRUMP! What a dumb, futile argument! I can't stand the far right AND the far left when it comes to the presidency because A PRESIDENT HAS TO GOVERN FROM THE CENTER. (Bernie Sanders fanatics, I'm talking to you.) You can't just ignore, or worse, demonize the other side. There's a place for extreme ideas. It's called CONGRESS, not the White House.

  3333. POTUS fires FBI DIRECTOR, James Comey - via Tweet - while Comey is in L.A. Comey is a long-time, senior FBI man, who rose through the ranks, who'd helped take down some of the country's worst criminals, including John Gotti. A man who was in his 6th year of a traditionally 10-year tenure. A Republican, before he dropped his political affiliation. A man who was now being asked for loyalty by a new President who'd never served as City Alderman or Dog Catcher - By a President in his first month on the job... The next day, on TV, this new POTUS sees Mr. Comey boarding a government plane. He calls Comey's Deputy and complains, "Why is he allowed to take a government plane home? I fired him yesterday!" Deputy FBI Director, Andrew McCabe, answers, "I had no idea this was even going to happen... but if I had, I still would have approved the plane"... The new President responds, "Ask your wife what it feels like to be a loser!"... I'm not even mentioning the Tweets this POTUS sent out after he fired Comey... and before and after McCabe was forced to resign. Trumpers, tell me what FACTS I have wrong, here. Tell me how CNN has me "brainwashed". Tell me how those aren't vindictive, dick moves by a man-baby. I'd love to compare notes.

  3341. 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!

  3343. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who could produce up to 20% of uranium from US mines. It was not even weapons grade uranium. The advisory board consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, and was lead by a Republican. The US State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, was simply one of them. 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.

  3344. One thing the Republicans are a lot better at than the Democrats is messaging. Dems suck at it. Republicans can get the Right to believe the craziest lies and parrot the most illogical nonsense. Dems have the truth on their side and don't know how to disseminate it. They say a lie can get around the world before the truth can get out of the driveway... or something akin to that. So the ignorant MAGA crowd has "Let's go Brandon!" Well, how about "IF BIDEN DID IT..?" Virtually EVERYTHING we criticized Donald Trump for, they fiercely defended. But THEY KNOW and WE ALL KNOW that if Biden had done it or Biden had said it, they would have been outraged. I've asked them that question many, many times, and NOT ONE has ever had the nerve to say they'd have been okay with Biden (or Obama or Clinton) acting exactly like Trump - habitually lying, secret meetings with Russian intelligence, lying about COVID, attempting a coup...just to name a few. There are literally THOUSANDS. What you will get is "Why are you still talking about Trump?" That's a ridiculous talking point for many reasons. Let them say that again when Trump concedes the election or when they support the January 6th Commission. IF BIDEN DID IT..? It should be on bumper stickers.

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.

And if you're referring to the dossier, 1)- Steele gave his info to the FBI, not Clinton. 2)- There was no quid pro quo with the Russian government. 3)- If you think that constitutes "collusion", then you would also have to agree that the Trump Tower meeting was collusion. Tell me, how was it not?

  3355. damike11790 - Oh, stop with the "bias against Bernie" BS. Bernie Sanders has appeared on CNN as much, if not more than all of the other candidates. This report was mostly just analysis of the whole field. It wasn't really even about Bernie, as the title suggests, but the title was positive towards him. News analysis requires looking at positives and negatives. You Bernie supporters are starting to sound like Trump followers. "The media is biased against my favorite!" Funny how we see Trump supporters insisting that the "media is liberal, and liberals want socialism", and the Bernie fanatics insist that the media is trying to stop Bernie, the socialist. IT'S JUST ANALYSIS, and it's over-analysis if you ask me. They're so hung up on who is far left, left, and centrist, they neglect to just analyze which POLICIES the voters like and don't like.

  3357.  @Chris-hupe  - Again, Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring.

  3358. People have a tendency to feel that, on any subject, they must have an opinion, they must form it immediately, and they cannot change that opinion, no matter what. It's a defense mechanism. It can help you win. It can help you get the best of your opponent. But it cannot help you solve a problem. Trump has used this to create a virtual cult. Cult 45. But don't give him credit for strategy. He's like a little kid in tantrum, kicking and screaming for a cookie on the kitchen floor. Is that kid smart? No. He just knows it works. He has no concept of the fact that he will grow up later, and feel stupid about it. Trump never had to grow up and see his foolishness. He's been living on Daddy's money. Some rich people do great things with it, and some, especially the ones with inherited wealth, never grow up. They act like narcissistic douchebags their whole lives.

  3360. Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

It is a percent chance of an outcome. It's absurd! Think lottery. Think weather report. Think horse racing. It's called a long shot! And those polls WERE ACCURATE! First of all, the numbers reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won. Second, they were within the margin of error. Third, ALL POLLS - CNN, FOX, Gallup... ALL were roughly the same. Do people really think ALL of these polls putting Trump around 37% are off by, what, 30 points?!?! Fourth, do any of you Trump fools think maybe the fact Trump won despite the odds may be an indicator of Russian involvement? ... And fifth, what even would be the POINT of faking a poll? To look inaccurate in the end? Do you people think people just want to be on the winning side so much they will only vote for the most popular candidate? It doesn't make sense! And wouldn't CNN, if they were faking it, want to LOWER the number so people wouldn't think it was already a lock and NOT VOTE? Trump defenders have no common sense!

At least he draws a line where Trump's behavior is concerned. That's more than I can say for most of them... Then again, he is retiring, which means they only grow a spine when they're on their way out. I think we are going to see mass Republican retirements this year. They're taking a "wait and see" attitude, but they expect major losses in November. Maybe one last campaign for the dirty ones who launder and pocket campaign donations? "Supplemental retirement money". Or they're going to use the next campaign to raise their profiles to become lobbyists.

  3411. Are CNN bashers as critical of that poor excuse for journalism called FOX News, that literally coordinates with Trump? It's virtually state-run media. Split hairs all you want about the editorial and analysis by the "liberal" media, but editorial isn't fact. They get the facts right 99% of the time. It's the facts that make Trump look bad. The facts make him look guilty. It's absurd to blame liberals for that. Did liberals make Trump's son collude with the Russians? Did liberals make 16 campaign associates reach out to the Russians and lie about it? Trump is such a hypocrite calling the news fake. He planted stories in the tabloids for years. He once phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He lies all the time. So, biased analysis by the press makes them the "enemy of the people", but we should accept the PRESIDENT lying to the people?

  3413. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  3416. There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, charity fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

I grew up since then". Now, he has to explain the inconsistencies in his statements that will arise from the additional FBI vetting, or withdraw. Lesson to Republican lawmakers - Have standards. Drop the tribal crap. Not just anyone with an R by their name will do. It's like bishops who protect pedophile priests and police chiefs who protect dirty cops.

  3422. As Trump says, White Nationalists make up a small group of people with serious problems. But it's only a RELATIVELY small group that used to be a larger group during the mid 20th Century. Their serious problems caused us very serious problems. Trump is self-interested and ignorant of history. His rhetoric is fueling the resurgence of this movement. White Nationalism is on a sharp rise since he took office. The statistics don't lie. If we're not aware of history, we're doomed to repeat it. Surely, Trump has been advised of this, but he chooses to ignore the advice because he wants every votes. He has never had even small majority support, and he is desperate for every vote. You can argue that there is Antifa on the left, but for every Antifa member, there are a hundred right-wing militants, and I haven't heard any left-wing Steve Kings in Congress defending Antifa's ideology. There are virtually ZERO racially based hate groups on the left. When they vote, all of them vote Republican. You can argue about "leftists" attacking free speech, but that's pure hypocrisy. I can point out how lawyers for that kid from Kentucky are suing the free press. Free speech only matters to them when it's convenient.

  3425. This reminds me of shortly after 9/11, when a reporter saw Bill Clinton in New York and asked him about the attack. I didn't like Bush very much. I always liked Clinton, and it was good to hear him speak again after almost a year. In 8 years, you get used to hearing a President on TV on a regular basis. Given my distaste for Bush and the national crisis we were in, I thought, "I miss him. I wish he could be President again". Hearing Obama speak now is like that. It's not quite the same as 9/11, but Trump's presidency feels like a national crisis. I've been listening to Trump's growling, obnixious voice on TV for 2 years, lying and throwing tantrums like a child. I liked Obama more than Clinton. I have much more of a distaste for Trump than I did for Bush. Hearing Obama's dignified, familiar voice during douchebag's train wreck of a presidency, I'm thinking, "I miss him. I wish he could be President again". It's kind of depressing.

The rest of the world knew the first time that we may have been fooled, but if he wins again, they'll say we chose him willingly as a nation. Trump would say he has a MANDATE, the will of the voters, to be an authoritarian.

Where's that "something wonderful" to replace Obamacare? Where's that infrastructure plan? Where's that wall? The Republicans had both chambers of Congress, the White House, and a Conservative majority on the Supreme Court for the first two years.

His list of "accomplishments" isn't very big, and most of the country does not think his accomplishments were good things.

  3442. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  3443. So, on The First 48, or one of those reality crime shows, a detective is watching his partner interrogate a suspect in another room on a monitor. The suspect says something to incriminate himself. If the detective watching pumps his fist and says, "Yeah! We got that son of a bitch!", is that bias? Should they shut down the investigation? What about when they're at the cop bar after work? What do off-duty detectives talk about? What if you were spying the cops and listening for them to say things you can point to as bias? What if you had the legal power to obtain all of the cops' texts and emails? And you STILL can't find anything except the words "secret society" and "insurance policy" - not just taken out of context - but providing no context at all, only the suggestion that it sounds nefarious. It has a shady feel to it. WTF?? This is what Sean Hannity is having a hissy fit over? They're going the Mark Fuhrman route and trying to discredit the cops. But where Fuhrman was prejudiced against blacks, supposedly the FBI is prejudiced against... Republicans? No. Mueller, Rosenstein, McCabe, Comey, and Ray are all Republicans....just biased against Trump? Yeah. There's a whole deep state secret society out to get Trump because he's so sincere and he just keeps it too real. Do you Trumpers ever consider the possibility that Trump is trying to hide something here and knows he has broken the law? That just maybe this Russia investigation isn't just a good idea, but it is NECESSARY?

Under Obama, they were there for less time, and had soap, toothpaste, and beds. Trump told reporters that "A lot of those children come from places you don't even want to know about", referring to bad conditions in their home countries. No, Mr. Trump, YOU don't want to know about it. Trump has set up for-profit facilities that charge $700 A DAY PER DETAINEE. You can stay at the Motel 6 for $60 a day, and you get all the soap and towels you need, a clean bed, and a shower, plus much more. He wants Democrats to give him more money? To sign a Republican bill? So he can then blame Democrats for the conditions like he blames Obama? Like he blames Dems now?? Trump is an appalling, lying piece of shit.

There are elements - There's the ANLYSIS. There is the EDITORIAL. And there are the FACTS. How is it that you can't tell the difference? For God's sake, think for yourself! If you don't understand the meaning of a story, that's why they give ANALYSIS. So people can understand the implications. They aren't trying to brainwash you. Unless it's FOX News, who clearly have a right-wing agenda. It doesn't make sense to say ALL of the others are left wing just because FOX News positions itself to the right of CNN, NBC, PBS, CBS, BBC, WaPo, NYT...that's ridiculous.

  3456. "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed". That's not true. If you watch, you are under-informed. If you confuse the NARRATIVE and EDITORIAL with the FACTS, you are misinformed. Sure, the media make mistakes, but mistakes aren't lies. I'd rather know half a story that's spun the wrong way than to know nothing. Yes, MSM is sensationalized. Yes, they use narratives to sell the story. They have to. I cringe whenever I hear "BREAKING NEWS!" about every little thing. Take it with a grain of salt. Extract the facts. Wikileaks is not news. Youtube hack videos are not news. They just talk about what MSM reports. Trump's Tweets are not news. Saying it gets him around the "fake" media is absurd. It gets him around due scrutiny. (with grammar errors no college educated man should ever make - "their" is not "they are"). FOX News isn't even news. Sean Hannity coordinates stories with Trump! And his followers say the "liberal" media is biased?! FOX has no competition on TV. Competition is what keeps them honest. If CNN gets it wrong, ABC, NBC and PBS will get it right and get higher ratings. Free market Capitalists should know that. You MSM bashers are so much more biased than they are, and it's obvious.

Cities inherently contain poor populations, which always comes with problems. Have you considered how cities evolve? They don't just turn on a dime when a new Mayor is elected. No city is entirely "run by Democrats." City dwellers are governed by Mayors and Aldermen, Governors, state legislatures, two national Senators, one or more Congressmen (or women), a POTUS... All have a hand in deciding how a locality is run and how it is funded. Do you think the current state of a 100 or 200 year old city depends on who's currently in office? If you want to be SPECIFIC about a problem in a specific city, by all means, address it. But that "Democrat cities" talking point is NONSENSE.

  3478. Brian Lafave - What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? The "shithole" comment. He said he wants Jews, not blacks, to count his money. He called Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to blacks. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racist advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims from the country. He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive, he REPEATS THEM. Why does he keep going there? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. He shouldn't have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader? This isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's. It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses?

  3480. If Trump was standing in the road, and you told him, "Donald, move. There's a car coming", he would stand there and get hit, just because he doesn't like to be told what to do. If he survived, he would go stand on the road again, before his wounds even healed, just to try to prove you wrong. Nixon said, "If the president does it, it's not illegal." Trump's major malfunction is that he believes if HE does it, it can't be wrong.

  3481. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  3488. The whole idea that the FBI and the DNC got together and spied on the Trump campaign is bullshit. The hacked DNC emails were used against Clinton DURING the campaign. The FBI announced they were reopening the Clinton email probe. The information in the dossier was NOT used against Trump during the campaign. The FBI did NOT announce the counterintelligence probe into Trump's ties to Russia. It was a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROBE. The FBI was spying on the Russians, as they should have been, because the Russians were attacking our election. By the way, Trump KNEW they were attacking our election, to help him win, and yet he had no problem with his top people meeting with the Russians to trade DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. Now, that's a quid pro quo. Trump calls it oppo research. Well, Fusion GPS was an American OPPO RESEARCH firm first hired by the Republicans to get dirt on Trump, so why was Trump not upset about that. Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election, an yet he LIED about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval. That's a hell of a conflict of interest, and it left him vulnerable to blackmail. Just like with Mike Flynn, US intelligence was spying on the Russians, and found Trump's people on the other end of the conversations. Trump was not "set up". It is very clear that he and his people willingly reached out to Russia, and Russia reached out to him. Russia didn't meddle? Uh, they came to New York offering dirt on Clinton. We meddle, too? Okay, never mind how you want to define meddling, that is one thing, and a candidate WORKING WITH THE MEDDLERS IS QUITE ANOTHER. This country has lost its damn mind, and it plays right into Russia's hands. There is an assault on the truth, and the Republicans have forgotten just what country they live in and who they are supposed to be working for.

Trump is the one paying for fake polls, telling his voters it's okay to cheat in his favor, soliciting foreign election help, accusing Dems of absurd cheating conspiracies...He didn't even expect to win in 2016, but that didn't stop him from claiming he also won the popular vote. And he just happened to lose it by the same number of "illegal" votes in California, (a state Clinton was sure to win, anyway).

  3499. 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.

  3503. Yes, Trump's racist rhetoric was dangerous. There's been an up-tick in hate crimes against Asians as a direct result. But it's STUPID to use THIS CRIME in Atlanta as an example. It wasn't necessarily racist. It was misogynistic. He had bad issues with women. He targeted PROSTITUTES, not Asians. It just so happens that prostitution is done practically in the openl at Asian massage parlors. Hate crimes laws are redundant and absurd. They should be used like the death penalty - In the WORST CASES WHEN GUILT IS CERTAIN. Are we supposed to figure out the nonsensical motives of people with messed-up minds? The media could've reported the rise in attacks on Asians at any time, but they waited to seize on this flimsy, vague example. It will backfire. Right-wingers have a point. If you play "gotcha" with technicalities in peoples' every word, you're acting like Trump and his minions. There's nothing at all wrong with that cop saying the suspect "had a bad day." It IS wrong for a cop to post racist BS online that slams COVID restrictions he's duty-bound to enforce. The "PC police" make liberals like me - who draw the the line at hyper-political correctness - have to concede that point to conservatives who just fill their argument with diversions, obfuscations, and whataboutism. We should be trying to discourage bad faith debate where people won't concede a single point because it weakens their larger argument.
    3
  3504. MJ - Nobody is saying it's okay. The cop was not excusing him by saying a "bad day" set him off. I'm a lifelong liberal, but the "PC Police" are really starting to irritate me. His motives are about PSYCHOLOGY, not POLITICS.

  3505. Trump (inaccurately) predicted that Obama would start a war with Iran in 2012 in order to get reelected. Obviously, he thinks that's something that might work. Now, right after being impeached, in the run-up to an election, he brings us to the brink of war with Iran. Trump has proven to be dishonest, reckless, and inept in foreign affairs. Blind loyalty to him and the Republicans is foolish.
    3
  3506. A lot of Trump followers like to say, "Russia meddles in our elections. We meddle in theirs. That's the way it is". Okay, fair enough. Know what else we do on both sides? US intelligence compiles lists of prominent Russians to use as assets, and Russian intelligence compiles lists of prominent Americans. If you were Vladimir Putin, would Donald Trump be on your list? The CIA has an acronym - MICE - Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Three out of four ain't bad. (Trump has no ideology)...By the way, we may meddle in each others' affairs, but you're not supposed to work for the other side. Now, go ahead, Trump trolls, tell me how he's been "tougher on Russia than any other president in history". I'll tell you what you clueless sheep keep saying - "Do YOUR research" before you make a fool of yourself.

  3511. Nera Kar - What?? Those numbers translate into a LOT of people. Duh. 25 times as likely is the BEST way to illustrate it. What YOU'RE doing is exactly what you're accusing them of. Is death the only thing that matters? Never mind getting sick, hospitalized, struggling to breathe, and stuckvwith a bill. Whatever the death rate, the infection rate means the pandemic is not going away because of the unvaccinated and the selfish fools who refuse to even wear a mask. It had a 2-3% death rate at its peak, and it was the THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH 8n 2020. That's 7x the worst flu season on record. So, what's YOUR solution? Ignore it??

It's our enemies' wet dream. Napolean said, "Divide and conquer". What's better than your enemies dividing themselves? Putin needs a divided US. Trump said NATO was obsolete, that the Chinese are more honorable than the Democratic leadership, and that Putin was a better leader than Obama! Roger Stone said the Dems are worse than the Russians.

He literally lost more money over a 10 year period than any other American in history. He won a popularity contest against an unpopular opponent, lost the popular vote, and had the help of a foreign adversary. Good for his wife speaking 6 languages. Trump can't even speak English correctly.

  3519. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

But whatever you Trumpers need to tell yourselves to accept the truth...He knew what was up. You don't go behind the boss' back with the things Flynn, Kushner, and Don Jr did.

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.

  3534.  @USMCasper  - Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  3536. I was wrong about Trump. I thought he was a con man, not a con artist. Tricking the stupid shouldn't be an art form. Now, I see that he's the Picasso of bullshit. He lies constantly, but he convinced the biggest skeptics, conspiracy theorists, that he's honest. Politicians have always said, "I'm an outsider", but he made folks think he was the first. He thinks proper spelling is "smock" and "boarder", but he got people to enroll at Trump University. He's played more suckers than PT Barnum. He's inspired xenophobia that would make Hitler jealous. He's charmed more followers than Jim Jones, and he has the personality of a rabid raccoon. He didn't just con the stupid. He's gotten Senators, CEOs, and otherwise smart people to back his dumb ideas. Now, he must take it up a notch and lead the flat earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince them the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe what you want to believe.

  3546. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.

  3555. It isn't about qualifying how much of a "shithole" these countries are. It is beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! We're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. And don't tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry.

  3565. You Trump followers cry "CNN lied! CNN lied!" like a parrot with turrets. Then, why can't you give an EXAMPLE of a lie? You can't. When you try to, you say one of two things: 1)- "They lie about everything". Okay then give an EXAMPLE. 2)- "They're biased". Bias is not lying. But if you insist that it is, then give an EXAMPLE. CNN is the McDonalds of news. It isn't gourmet. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. What you don't understand is the difference between FACT, ANALYSIS, and OPINION. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what journalism is. The FACTS are rarely wrong, and even when they are, that is called a MISTAKE, not a LIE. ANALYSIS is making sense out of facts for your consumption. It's making a burger out of raw beef. It's also for THEIR OWN consumption. McDonalds employees eat there, too. Even more than you, because they're there all day. OPINION is the answer to "How did it taste?" I know a lot of you are paid Russian trolls. More power to you. Sorry you live in a shit country where your leaders have you brainwashed, but at least you're doing it for your country and making a few rubles. What I'm concerned about are the brainwashed masses of American fools who buy into this crap, because YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are the biased, and foolish enough to do it for free. It's ironic that you defend a KNOWN HABITUAL liar who lies more often than most people urinate by crying, "CNN lies", and you can never give one example.

  3569. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.5 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're that advanced and made spacecrafts versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  3570. Dems have good ideas and policies, but they suck at messaging. Republicans have horrible ideas and policies, but they're great at messaging. RESTRUCTURING police departments is good. Chanting "DEFUND" is stupid. Dems say, "But 'defund' really means restructure." Then call it RESTRUCTURE! "Black lives matter really means all lives matter." Then call it ALL LIVES MATTER! Did they really think the right would NOT respond with, "What about white lives and blue lives? See. BLM members are the REAL racists!" Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you say "climate change", people tune out, but call it "pollution", and people listen. Pollution is a problem that demands practical discussion. The term, "climate change" has become a weapon in a culture war. You can't demand an immediate end to racism. You CAN demand an immediate end to policies conducive to police brutality. Police brutality should be the focus. Racism, brutality and pollution shouldn't even be left/right issues in the first place. So why have they become that way? Because it's a Republican tactic. Culture wars divide, and there is nothing Republicans want more. That's why they love Donald Trump and put up with his lies, ineptitude, corruption, and childish crap. It helps them politically.

  3571. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  3572. Bernie said he will legalize marijuana by executive order. Now, he needs to EXPLAIN what Democratic Socialism means, and stop the Republican's fear mongering about it. Whoever the Democrat nominee is needs to run on three main things: Health care, education, and marijuana. Health care is a kitchen table issue, and the Republicans have failed to come up with a plan. Trump is actively trying to END pre-existing conditions protections, and he is flat-out lying about that. Education needs revamping, and that's an issue for the Democrats. Republicans don't care, and some go so far as to call teachers unions "terrorist organizations". Trump is hellbent on privatizing education and purposely called public schools "government schools", an obvious attempt to neglect and underfund it. Donald Trump's election shows us just how bad the education system has gotten. Legal marijuana will bring in tax revenue and contribute to a healthier society. It will mitigate the damage caused by harder drugs. (I have solid reasons to believe this, too much to explain here). It will go a long way towards criminal justice reform, something I don't think Trump's initiative went very far in doing.

  3574. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent. She just had too much baggage.

  3579. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  3590. Carlos Vacano - It is absurd to say lying about basic statistics shouldn't matter. We should be able to take a simple statement of provable facts coming out of the president's mouth for granted. And when he lies, it is for a reason. Lying about the Iran nuclear deal isn't any concern? Are you kidding? Possible war? The Russians possibly having blackmail material on him doesn't matter? The Russians didn't run their disinformation campaign for nothing. They wouldn't do it if they thought it didn't work. If it didn't work, why did Trump and his team try like hell to get the hacked material? Duh. The Russians hacked the DNC, Podesta, and 21 states' voter rolls - which caused confusion and long lines at those polls, which made people leave. People in Democratic-leaning districts. Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube were exploited, and if it swayed just 1% of the people who saw those ads, that was enough to swing the election. That's a fact. And if you think Trump doesn't have different public and private positions, you are naive and haven't been paying attention. Why do you think he's been lying so much? There are MANY ways he is hurting our quality of life. Creating greater wealth inequality. Trying to stop the press from even telling us the facts. Gutting the ACA without replacement. He wants to force residents in border districts from their homes for his wall that Mexico won't pay for. Pulling out of the Paris Agreement and gutting the EPA - Dirty air and water, and stripping regulations on toxic chemicals can sure affect us all. So can war. It ALL affects us all.

  3591. Unless you're talking about an actual hate group member, you're never going to technically, definitively prove someone is a racist. It's like when someone says, "Are you calling me a liar?" What does that mean, "a liar"? You're saying they're lying about the issue at hand. Is Steve Bannon "officially" a racist? His supporters would argue until the 5th of never that you have to "prove it", but if you found a publication you call "the platform for the alt-right", and say you're not a racist, it's like saying, "I'm not a Klan member, but I host their meetings at my house". Trump repeatedly says and does racist things, and he is a policy maker. That makes him more dangerous than some backwoods Klan hick. Don't let him and his supporters rope you into arguing the technicalities of each lie and accusation. It's why, while there is a clear pattern of Russian collusion around him, every single one is argued on what technically rises to a legal definition. That definitely must be proven in court, but to say there isn't basis for suspicion is absurd. Unfounded suspicion is certainly enough for those hypocrites to decide Clinton is guilty of fraud and high treason - even without evidence and with provably false information. Don't fall into Trumpers' transactional traps. There are undeniable patterns.

And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, the Wikileaks release of hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he'd communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both Trump and Paul Manafort deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did it without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Cause suspicion yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  3627. I used to think people supported Trump because the modern world sees everything on a screen. We're armchair warriors who have the luxury of making problems as close to or far away as we want, and turn our TVs and devices on or off at will. I thought, "When the consequences hit home and become real, his following will wake up." But what hits home more than a global pandemic coinciding with protests and unrest in every major city? Naw, there's something else going on here. It's a cult, and Trump has used culture war and blaming "the others" as the glue that holds it together. Trump is too stupid to figure this out on his own. I suspect he learned how to do that from Putin, who learned it from the KGB, the masters of disinformation. Or maybe BECAUSE he is stupid, it works for him. The smart confuse MANIPULATIVE with INTELLIGENT all the time. A toddler can manipulate his parents into giving him a cookie they don't want to give him. Not because the toddler is smart, but because he REACTS by kicking and screaming, or making a cute face. (Not that Trump has a cute face, and he has no charisma at all. But he sure can kick and scream).

  3628. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  3635. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico? Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

  3641. 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?

  3642. MSM has reported extensively on where the virus came from. Trump's argument that the Chinese could have stopped COVID 19 in China is undercut by the fact that he didn't stop it here. He had the benefit of knowing it was coming.

  3646. Peter Gobkoswki - What policies has Trump implemented to lower black unemployment? The unemployment rate, in general, is down. And what policies has he implemented that show it isn't just STILL a good economy. Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term. It creates a bubble. Now that Trump is ballooning the deficit with those tax cuts, he's saying we have to tighten the belt. He just cut raises for government employees. Inflation is rising faster than wages now. Despite what Trump says, he inherited a good economy. When Obama took office, it was dismal.

They don't WANT people thinking too much about it, because then they might realize how ridiculous it is. They don't want to get answers. They want their team to win.

Something about those MAGA hats and the color, red". 10)- My Dad was Rush Limbaugh's drug dealer.

  3655. It's a MARKETING problem. Tobacco companies can't use cartoons and fruit flavors because they target kids who can't legally use the product. Military-looking rifles that hold dozens of rounds aren't marketed to hunters. Handguns are designed to use on humans - for self defense. "ARs" are marketed to wannabe soldiers. There's no legal purpose for them. Silencers are illegal for that reason. When do you legally need one? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible, rational people, but AR-type rifles attracted a different type.
    3
  3656. M Loftus - Of course Hunter Biden has nothing to do with Trump's conduct. But it's Trump's defense that he does, because he wants to prove he was "fighting corruption". Of course that's total BS, and they just want to call him to create a circus and muddy the waters, but the Dems get a rebuttal, where they could tear apart Trump's flimsy-ass defense. I'd draw the line at making Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi testify. There is absolutely no reason for that.
    3
  3657. In a bizarre interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump launched into a tale about liberal cities being overrun with filth, and how people are pissing in the streets and making the cops ill. He made a point to say it was worse in sanctuary cities, and said it started two years ago. He said he is looking into it very seriously, (But he's not looking into abhorrent conditions in border facilities). He said that it hurts our country because it looks bad to foreign dignitaries. As usual, he used fragmented sentences, endless tangents, and vagaries. What the hell?? HIS BASE SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS?? It was his own words with a FOX News host, but, no doubt, his followers will say it's the media making him look bad! Time to look seriously at the 25th Amendment. He is the PRESIDENT, and he talks like that all the time! We are living in the bizarro world, folks.

  3661. There was nothing illegal about the dossier. Steele didn't even give his findings to Clinton. He gave it to the FBI. Consider this - If you think Clinton's oppo research was wrong, even illegal, then how can the Trump campaign meeting with the Russian GOVERNMENT, to trade ILLEGAL DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF be okay? If Clinton colluded with Russia, then Trump also did. You can't have it both ways. At first, Trump said NOBODY in his campaign had ANY contacts with ANY Russians. Pence said, "Why would they?" Exactly. Why would they? It is NOT normal. Then we found out Stone, Corsi, Page, Sessions, Gates, Flynn, Popadopoulos, Trump Jr., Trump himself...all had contact with them and lied about it. Clinton's stuff is cause for suspicion and TRUMP'S ISN'T?!? He actually said, "Russia, if you're listening..."! He flatly said he fired Comey over Russia. He was making deals, not just with Russian developers, but with The KREMLIN, while running for president, while HE KNEW THE RUSSIANS WERE ATTACKING OUR ELECTION. The FBI had warned Trump about what Putin might do, but he didn't report it. He practically begged for this "witch hunt"!

  3662. Richard Huzzey - That means nothing. He's got pressure coming from both Trump and Putin. The transcript, Mulvaney's statement, texts between staff, and common sense prove there was a quid pro quo. I mean, seriously, do you really think Trump WOULDN'T do that?

When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's. It will fill you up. But if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS. FOX News can't pass the health inspection.

  3673. Again, Biden said something inartful and stupid, but it wasn't racist. For Trump to criticize him for being inarticulate is the mountain calling the mole hill big. Biden was asked about Venezuelan vs. Cuban Latinos. Those are different COUNTRIES. He was trying to say they have more diverse backgrounds and ideologies compared to African Americans. The key word is AMERICAN, as opposed to immigrants from different nations. The MAGA crowd CONSTANTLY tries to explain what Trump "meant" because he constantly lacks articulation, but they'll sure pounce on anything Biden says. It's ridiculous that Trump so often throws stones when he lives in a glass house. You'd think he would try like hell to avoid bringing up senility, racism, and corruption.

You can think Trump wasn't guilty of extorting Ukraine, but it's ridiculous to blame Democrats for demanding answers. You can think Trump wasn't guilty of conspiring with Russia, but it's absurd to say it was treason to investigate his potential role in a Russian attack on an election where he was the beneficiary, especially when he praised the attack and he and 16 of his people lied about their Russian contacts. IN ALL 3 CASES, TRUMP EXHIBITED SHADY, INEXPLICABLE BEHAVIOR THAT DEMANDED ANSWERS. This from the party that held 9 Benghazi hearings, probed and impeached Bill Clinton for a lie about his sex life, refused to accept an official decision about Hillary's email probe in which no sensitive information was compromised, and mostly refused to accept the audited, recounted, 61 times litigated results of an election.

  3683. Trump had the nerve to tell the Mexican President, "I can't have you saying you won't pay for the wall". That is so many kinds of fucked-up. For one thing, "saying" he won't pay for it, as if the truth that they won't pay for it didn't even matter. Just that he SAID it. Unbelievable.

  3684. Just show how it will be funded. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  3685.  @nicholasclay4896  Exactly! I've been saying that for a long time. I think the GOP moved to the right, then DEFINED the center left as "far left". We need a viable third party here in the US to stop all of this extremism and single-issue voting.

  3687. Willy Bones - The cop in Atlanta is racist and he shouldn't be on the force, but he DIDN'T EXCUSE THE SHOOTER! He was asked about the shooter's motive. He CLEARLY conveyed that it was a "bad day" that made him snap as opposed to methodically planning his attack. HOW IS THAT AN EXCUSE? Recently, Biden was criticized for "excusing" China's concentration camps when he was CLEARLY just explaining the mentality of the Chinese. He was telling us what THEIR excuse is. We won't understand peoples' motives if we decide their motives are whatever fits our narrative. Liberals - THIS WILL BACKFIRE. Keep it up, and we'll lose elections to Republicans who don't give a rat's ass about solving these problems. It's no wonder many white, straight men think they're being blamed for everything, and I'm NOT EXCUSING their ignorance. I'm EXPLAINING it. It's not complicated.

  3688. Is there anything the dumbest of right-wing internet trolls will say that Republican lawmakers won't say now? Is there any difference between what American right-wing internet trolls say and what paid, Russian trolls say? There are no more lines, because the only way to make their ridiculous arguments and absurd conspiracy theories work is to gain strength in numbers. I'm a center-left liberal. I used to see conservatives as people with differing ideas who at least had the country's best interests at heart and provided balance. They kept Dems in check. Now, there's no line they won't cross. They can't see past their noses, and can't admit when their ideas and policies are anything less than perfect. They can't respect their opposition. I never thought I'd see the day a US President would use the phrases, "Lamestream media" and "Injustice Department". Republicans are on the wrong side of EVERYTHING to me now. Even when their stated principles are noble, they apply them to situations where they're inappropriate. It's all red herrings, hypocrisy, projection, and a perpetual war footing. I didn't like W Bush, but I never worried that he'd usher-in some existential disaster. I'm truly worried that Republicans are doing just that. And before you right-wingers say, "What about the Dems ushering-in communism?" THEY AREN'T. Period. You just refuse to live in the real world.

  3697. Progressives are too idealistic, and not practical enough. I don't think they're radical, but they are the extreme end of the spectrum, which always butts heads with the other extreme end. The POTUS should always be a centrist. I don't care how irrational the other half may be, you can't just cut them out and say, "this is our time now". Then, the other side gets its time again, and NOBODY is satisfied 100% of the time.

  3699. specter290 - The Trump Tower meeting was direct contact - with known surrogates of the Russian government - for the purpose of trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Did the FBI make them do that? No. Actually, the FBI warned them about the Russians and told them to report it if the Russians tried to contact them. Did they do that? No.

  3702. When it comes to suspicions about Russia, Trump sure wants the presumption of innocence. He takes it further. Never mind that our security made it the DUTY of the FBI to investigate, Trump and his associates' many lies about Russian contacts were more than enough probable cause for a probe. But 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".

  3704.  @harrymills2770  Impeachable offenses - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up.

  3705. Russell Williams - Just because you deny the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is a ton of evidence. The Trump Tower meeting. 16 Trump assiciates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Now this slam dunk case. Evidence.

  3706. -The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 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. - 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 140 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  3708. The FBI is NOT full of politicians. Who works for the FBI? Cops. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They wanted to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were investigating two unpopular political candidates - both for good reason. If you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Why is it a stretch to believe FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might change once he got elected. We thought he might stop lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal FBI" shit is nonsense.

How about Trump signing a check written off of the Trump Foundation charity to "donate" $25k to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, to decline to go forward with a lawsuit against his sham university. That's bribery and charity fraud. How about a little obstruction? One of his associates quit while aboard Air Force One, saying it was obstruction when he and Don Jr crafted that bs letter about the Trump Tower meeting...

  3715. The Trump presidency is the result of our sub-par education system. He is there because his base is poorly educated. The Dems should make education their main issue in the mid-terms. If Republicans want to say they are for it more, the Dems could remind us that Republicans have refered to teachers unions as terrorist groups. It isn't hard to show how Trump, himself, is uneducated. Despite the fact that he went to Yale, he can't spell "they're". His base is grossly ignorant. Just read these comments from Trump supporters if you doubt that. I also think education as an issue could get women on board. I'd bet that more women are planning to vote Democrat in November already because of the new threat to Roe v. Wade, they hate Betsy DeVos, and the Trump has been regularly making misogynist statements for 2 years now. Our education system is obviously very flawed and under-funded.

  3719. A case against the wall - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms - for cheap. It's because of our wealth. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success", except it's not a bullshit excuse for poor war planning. - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall because they're beset on all sides by terrorists who want to kill Jews. We only have two political borders. The 9/11 terrorists came in legally. They boarded planes and bought box cutters legally. Geography has been good to the US. - Spanish women are hot. If you were a bouncer at a club, you'd let them in, right? - In Europe, you can't go a few hundred miles without being somewhere the locals speak another language. Spanish is pretty close to English, which is rooted in Latin. The US isn't on the metric system because we have the size, geography, and power to say, "Screw that. We're not changing all of those road signs". Again, "catastrophic success", but this isn't a catastrophe or a national emergency. I'd like to keep ALLIES on our borders...But keep an eye on those shady Canadians. (Seriously. Putin is building military bases up North, and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house in Alaska). - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - To the xenophobes and fundamentalist Christians - Earth isn't 6000 years old. It's settled science. Think on a larger scale. Interbreeding is good. It breeds-out diseases. It opens the mind. That wall in Israel will eventually be torn apart by tectonic plates that don't care what you call "holy land". The human race rose long after the dinosaurs died - in Africa. Yes, we're all part black. Global warming is also settled science, so darker skin just might help the species survive. - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - Legal weed should be part of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They spray that crumbly, brown shit with pesticides that even Trump won't de-regulate. The "sin tax" on weed, paid by grateful potheads, would pay for his wall faster than anything we could skim from the USMCA. - "It's no fun being an illegal alien" - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If the government was serious about keeping "them" out, it would crack-down on the employers. Why don't they? (Money and special interests). - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Donald Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back".

  3726. The Trump strategy: When opposed or accused, assert the extreme of the opposite. For example, when suspicions of collusion with Russia surfaced, Trump didn't say, "I know this looks bad, but..." He didn't say, "The Russians reached out to us, but we declined". He asserted that the Russians didn't even meddle at all. When Trump aroused suspicion that he was racist and womanizing, he said, "Nobody is less racist than me", and "Nobody respects women more". And he is Mr. Technicality. All that matters is whether he CAN do something, not whether he SHOULD. But he doesn't stop there. More and more, we keep hearing about him getting pissed when his aides tell him, "We can't do that, sir. It's illegal". This is a man who touts bankruptcy and tax evasion as shrewd financial strategy. No ethics. No regard for facts. What could go wrong? Now, can any of you Trump cultists say that you'd be just fine with Obama or Clinton acting that way? Didn't think so.

So, is he saying that he wants them to FAKE their polls to make him look more favorable? Seems to me, legitimate poll numbers just are what they are. It is an actual fact that Trump paid for fake online polls in 2016. Imagine that - the liar who cries "fake news" all the time is a faker. Also, remember he actually told his voters it was okay to cheat in his favor and vote twice. One Trump voter got caught doing just that.

Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII.

The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

Have you noticed that Trump followers won't criticize ANYTHING he does or says? He's perfect? No. The weaker your case, the more you get defensive. But sure, EVERYTHING this obviously flawed, inexperienced man does is either the smartest thing in the world or a lie concocted by the Dems and the mecia, right? Everyone is lying but him, all the time? My God, then you take it further and play "gotcha" with every little thing you can spin up on a Democrat - usually false, but when true, almost ALWAYS something Trump, himself, has done WAY worse! Pure projection. FACE FACTS. Trump is an unempathetic, inexperienced, elitist, cheating, habitually lying, narcissistic MORON with a major personality disorder. ACCEPT IT AND LET HIM GO ALREADY! Jeez, all you need to do is ask yourself, "If Obama or Hillary had done or said this, what would I think?" Do I need to repeat that? If it was Clinton or Obama, what would you believe? Would you believe the media? Would you defend them? Just ask YOURSELF, so you don't get all pissy and defensive from waging a losing argument with someone. Then wake up and grow up!!

  3752. Why buy a fake dossier? If they just wanted to make shit up, they could have done that for free. The story would fall apart when it couldn't be verified either way. The dossier, (that was NOT what started this), has NOT been disproven. Do you think the Dems have a time machine? The dossier was started well before the election. Why would Clinton, who thought she was sure to win, plan an intricate revenge plot, just in case she lost, involving the CIA, FBI, foreign intel, and about a dozen other "deep state" agencies. Sure, INTEL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT were ready to risk everything to make Trump look bad. Non-political agencies put law and national security aside for that?? And even though half of them were Republicans, miraculously, nobody leaked or got caught? Don't you think if they had the power to do that, they wouldn't pull a much simpler trick to stop Trump from winning in the first place? The most damning part of the dossier is Cohen meeting Russians in Prague, and guess what - Cohen's sentencing memo revealed he now admits he lied about not wanting to travel to meet them. Turns out, he was eager. That's just the icing on the collusion cake. If there's a "pee tape", that would be the cherry on top.

  3753. discorperted - 1)- Why would a former spy like Christopher Steele piss away his reputation and his intelligence business making up things that couldn't be corroberated, and would prove to be false? 2)- Have you read that dossier? It's very detailed. If it was made up, why use so much detail? More to be proven false. 3)- The deal with Fusion GPS was that clients could NOT ask about what methods were used. 4)- Why didn't Clinton use it in the campaign? Steele didn't give it to Clinton. He gave it to the FBI. Sure, the plan was to have Comey hurt her chances of winning by announcing there may be more emails, have her LOSE, then NOT use the dossier until afterward. Right. If the dossier was "collusion with Russia", (even though Putin wanted Clinton to lose), then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Did you think of that, Einstein? If Clinton colluded, then Trump did, too!

  3754. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

  3755. texas thunder - One CNN employee gave one primary debate question to Clinton, and CNN fired her for it. You use the word, "colluded", huh? Like the entire Trump campaign reaching out to the Russians while the Russians reached out to them? The BEST they can do is say they tried to collude, but it didn't work out, (yeah, right). That's like shooting someone you clearly have a motive to harm, and trying to say the cops are crazy for questioning whether you even committed attempted murder...But we know the Russians meddled, so it's more like saying, "I shot him, but not to kill. Someone else must have killed him". It's like a bad episode of CSI.

(The US was instrumental in driving out the Soviets). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him".

Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous.

Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump.

If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  3783. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they do that?" It's because they don't consider them their own. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. He bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) To Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrant. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news"? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" He considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump betrays his own people. He is loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

  3785. Yes, Trump's racist rhetoric was dangerous. There's been an up-tick in hate crimes against Asians as a direct result. But it's STUPID to use THIS CRIME in Atlanta as an example. It wasn't necessarily racist. It was misogynistic. He had bad issues with women. He targeted PROSTITUTES, not Asians. It just so happens that prostitution is done practically in the openl at Asian massage parlors. Hate crimes laws are redundant and absurd. They should be used like the death penalty - In the WORST CASES WHEN GUILT IS CERTAIN. Are we supposed to figure out the nonsensical motives of people with messed-up minds? The media could've reported the rise in attacks on Asians at any time, but they waited to seize on this flimsy, vague example. It will backfire. Right-wingers have a point. If you play "gotcha" with technicalities in peoples' every word, you're acting like Trump and his minions. There's nothing at all wrong with that cop saying the suspect "had a bad day." It IS wrong for a cop to post racist BS online that slams COVID restrictions he's duty-bound to enforce. The "PC police" make liberals like me - who draw the the line at hyper-political correctness - have to concede that point to conservatives who just fill their argument with diversions, obfuscations, and whataboutism. We should be trying to discourage bad faith debate where people won't concede a single point because it weakens their larger argument.

"Kung Flu" and "China virus" are racist. If you can't see by now that he is a raging bigot, then you refuse to accept it. When the racial hate groups make you their hero and you don't adequately denounce them or at least simply refrain, you are a racist.

  3802. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  3805. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  3809. It's a shame that kids of today are going to grow up thinking what Trump does is normal presidential behavior. It's not okay for them to lie CONSTANTLY. It's not normal for a president - who went to an ivy league college - to misspell the word, "their". It's not normal for the president to be such a partisan contrarian. And it's definitely not normal for the president to trash the DOJ every single day. You Trump supporters do realize somebody else is going to be president eventually, right? I know, you'll just be hypocrites when you don't like them and they do the same things. Just wait until the next Democrat gets in office and you hear, "What about Trump?" The difference, though, will be that it will be said with sarcasm.

  3812. Tina Pentasuglia - Stop with the "bias against Bernie" BS. Bernie Sanders has appeared on CNN as much, if not more than all of the other candidates. This report was mostly just analysis of the whole field. It wasn't really even about Bernie, as the title suggests, but the title was positive towards him. News analysis requires looking at positives and negatives. You Bernie supporters are starting to sound like Trump followers. "The media is biased against my favorite!" Funny how we see Trump supporters insisting that the "media is liberal, and liberals want socialism", and the Bernie fanatics insist that the media is trying to stop Bernie, the socialist. IT'S JUST ANALYSIS, and it's over-analysis if you ask me. They're so hung up on who is far left, left, and centrist, they neglect to just analyze which POLICIES the voters like and don't like.

I'm confused. Enlighten me.

  3817. Funny how Trump never seems to be upset with any of his people going "behind his back" to make deals with Russians. He's blaming Democrats? Why isn't he blaming his son, son-in-law, Manafort, Stone, Page, Flynn..? (Because he knew about and approved the Trump Tower meeting, the platform change, the deals to lift sanctions...)

  3818. What on God's green Earth makes her anywhere near a viable candidate for President?? You know, I kind of blame the media for asking Trump a thousand times in the 80s and 90s, "Have you thought about running for President?" WHY??? Because he was rich - among many rich people - but had the kind of ego that drove him to publicize it all the time?? SO?? How did that in any way qualify him to run the country?? This country is full of IDIOTS! A President should have experience in government, leadership skills, communication and problem solving skills. Being famous is not a qualification!!

  3819. Brooks was incredibly stupid. The cops did almost everything right, until the ONE cop made the mistake of shooting. Yes, he should lose his job. Just him. Not the other one. But he should not be charged with murder because this is SYSTEMIC. This is about TRAINING. If he is charged with murder, there is no way 12 jurors will convict him. Then, there will be more riots after the acquittal. The cycle will continue until we address the SYSTEMIC problem of police brutality.
    3
  3820. Laura Zaboraski - I agree. But this is a systemic training problem, and a difficult situation. That should also be taken into account. The cop didn't crush his neck for 8 minutes or blow him away because he reached for his ID. There was no escalation until Brooks became erratic, fought the cops, got their adrenaline pumping, ran for no good reason. Why would someone not very drunk abandon their car, and grab and AIM a tazer at a cop over a DUI? Like I said, the shooting wasn't justified, but the cop is human. He was TRAINED to fall back on his training because there was little time to think. This was no cold blooded murder.

  3821. Trump does not have confidence in the intelligence community. He does not accept their findings. Russia did it, but it could also be others, too? Others helped the Russians? Did it independently? If "others" also did it, it's no big deal? He didn't mean to say, "wouldn't". That is laughable. (Although he spells "they're" as "their", so he is bad with apostrophes). Obama did quite a bit to combat the Russian attack on our election. He kept it low-key so he wouldn't be accused of putting his thumb on the scale politically - which he (and the FBI) were accused of anyway. Trump has not made the situations in I North Korea or Russia any better by simply holding a meeting (and giving them what they want while getting nothing in return). To say the North Korean nuclear threat is gone because he went there is ridiculous. To say Iran is a different country than it was five months ago is laughable.
    3
  3822. Trump supporters, let's say for argument's sake that the DNC kept the servers from the FBI. What do you think happened? If you say, "Seth Rich", then you can't say the FBI was in on it. They kept the servers from them, right? Furthermore, how do you explain the Trump Tower meeting? Explain how Trump can believe the Russians didn't meddle when his own son admits that he tried to meddle with them. How do you explain this being an excuse for losing an election when the probe started months before the election? Have you people even thought this through?

  3823. michel bolduc - Now, that's a new one. Do you see your hypocrisy? Lemme guess, you defend Trump against all attempts to investigate him, even though there is a mountain of probable cause. You want the investigators investigated, even after he claims vindication, huh? Even after he REFUSED to be transparent and DO HIS DUTY to safeguard our elections from interference. Even after he and 16 of his people lied about ties to Moscow. A "witch hunt", right? Yet you dig and dig at Dems, and call everything "treason". Accept it. Your boy is a crook, and all of these Democrats you want hung in the town square are just not. Period. Open your eyes.

(Because US intelligence told him they did). - During the campaign, former National Security Advisor, convicted felon, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

He failed to register as a foreign agent. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow and made a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got 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.

This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public).

(19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality".

  3834. It kills me when the MAGA crowd touts Trump as a "businessman". MOST politicians are businessmen (and women), and most have much more business experience. That's like, "He talked about jobs." They ALL talk about jobs. And he's far from the first "outsider" to run for president. "Outsider" might mean not corrupted by politics (yet), but it also means no experience! But give someone who has never been a city alderman or a dog catcher the TOP spot in government. Brilliant.

If you think anyone donating to the Clinton Foundation is proof of bribery, believe the Uranium One nonsense, that there is proof of a deep state conspiracy, you've sure got a low bar for suspicion and proof - if it's what you want to hear. -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.

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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI had asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, but nobody did.

You know damn well the word, "invasion" is being used to exaggerate the situation and make it seem threatening. What is it with you people and your technicalities? I see Trump has taught you well - Use offensive, alarmist language, then hide behind the technical definition of the words. Don't insult our intelligence with that shit.

  3843. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  3844.  @autastic4577  Did YOU read my comment? I know there is an investigation. What they are investigating is a bs theory that EVEN TRUMP REFUSES TO EXPLAIN. Nobody has been charged. Durham has the power to convene a grand jury. He hasn't done it. This has already been looked at by a Trump appointee. Trump and Barr are doing what they accused Obama of doing - Using the DOJ to win an election. Learn how these things work, or you will remain a sheep!

Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

Doesn't Trump keep telling us the Dems are the enemy out to get him? THEN WHY WOULDN'T THEY WANT HIN GONE?? Are you people really that fucking stupid? Which is it? Half the country just hates him, or CNN is hiding the fact that everybody loves him, despite his insulting half of the country every day? Shit, do you people ever THINK at all? Fucking moron.

ALL of them who can sell themselves as "outsiders" have always done so. They can't find anyone else?

They put out false information about how to vote. Manafort gave the Russians polling data. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it would have swung the election. They funnelled cash to the Trump camp via the NRA. They used tactics they've been refining for decades. Think they'd do it if it didn't work? It wasn't just screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted, code-named operation.

  3871. Reuben Handel - Oh, enough of the "fake news" mantra. Everything in my comment is fact. Look it up. Actually, the Russians did MORE than that.

You know damn well that if a Democrat president had done it, you'd be outraged. Can you honestly say you wouldn't?

What Trump did with those tax cuts is called trickle down economics. It doesn't work in the long term, and it is what ALL Republican presidents push for. The economy now is simply a continuation of a trend. Ask Trump what economic policies of his have contributed to it, and he couldn't tell you. That's very different from during the Obama years, when he got us out of a recession and cut unemployment in half with specific actions. A fair economy isn't worth keeping a reckless, lying crook in the White House. His foreign policies are disastrous. His de-regulation policies are reckless. It is foolish to believe he isn't selling out this country transaction by transaction. Trump is a lobbyist's wet dream. Wake up.

He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid.

  3902. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  3904. Right wing extremists win when they convince the moderates of a false equivalence between the two political parties. I used to say, "A plane needs a right and a left wing to fly" when I didn't like what classic conservative Republicans were doing. Now I think we need to land the plane and replace the right wing before we crash and burn. I suspect many moderates and independents have heard so many lies about the Dems, the media, and the scientific community that even if they don't necessarily believe them, they still think, "Well, all politicians are always screwing us, so maybe there's SOME TRUTH to those conspiracy theories" when there simply is no truth whatsoever to them. Obviously there are rare exceptions, but those are usually the mole hills the Right will call mountains. The Republican party has simply lost its way. It doesn't have to disappear or implode if it would just replace its members with mature adults who want to solve actual problems. Republican and Independent voters, PLEASE try to see through the BS and educate yourselves on the issues before you vote. Republicans, PLEASE demand better from your elected officials. America hasn't been successful because one party was always trying to demonize and insult the other. It's been successful because of ACTUAL WORK, IDEAS, LEADERSHIP, LEGISLATION, and LAW. Not "owning the libs" or demonizing them to the point your extremists actually believe that we are trying to kill you, rape your babies and set up a communist regime in the most hyper-capitalist country on Earth.

  3911.  @bizzjoe  Because there wasn't even enough preliminary evidence to merit a case. Trump appointed sime of those judges. Trump's lawyers refused to actually argue fraud in court because they'd be disbarred. Common sense, man. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed 2020 election bid. Nowhere does it say there was fraud, and it acknowledges that Biden had a DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD over Trump. How was he supposed to get re-elected after treating a MAJORITY of the country like an enemy? HE NEVER HAD AN APPROVAL RATING OVER 50%. He lied about the pandemic that was at its peak during the election. But sure, Trump's OWN loyalist AG and hand-picked CISA chief lied, huh? No voting machine accepts multiple ballots for the same voter. There were recounts. He lost end of story.

  3918. Liberals outnumber conservatives, but Republicans refuse to try to win liberals over. They win by suppressing Dem votes and turning out their base through division. So, even when they win, they don't get new voters. They keep repeating the strategy, as there's always an election around the corner. Doubt that? Look at Trump, who treated half the country as an enemy. They can't let him go no matter how much trouble he caused them. Didn't they get exhausted? Look at Black voters. Republicans only get about 10% of their vote, and winning them over is always too big of a mountain to climb in under two years. The solution is right in front of them, but they won't look past their noses. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular. A minimum wage hike, health care reform, pot legalization, COVID mitigation, racial justice, sensible gun control, and addressing climate change are all favored by a SOLID majority of the electorate. Republicans ignore and/or deny ALL of those issues. Republicans need to worry more about DOING the job than KEEPING the job. They cry "election security," but why is it that every security measure they propose just happens to be the something that hinders liberal turnout? They can't even be bipartisan about a probe into what went wrong at the Capitol! It's INSANE to demand that an investigation focus on "left wing extremists." WHAT left wing extremists?? Antifa is nothing but about 50 unorganized people who have no support, and were not at the Capitol riot. BLM is NOT an extremist group. Do Republicans really want to demonize a group that demonstrates against systemic racism? Yeah, that will help get Black votes and end the stereotype that Republicans are racist! I hope they DO look into BLM, SEPARATELY, to show the difference between them and a coup attempt based on lies, executed by The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, Confederate dead-enders, and a half-dozen white supremacist groups who were decidedly partisan and encouraged by a majority of the Republican Congress and the President himself. I thought Republicans called theirs the "party of ideas"? Well, make with the ideas. Failing that, they could learn to agree with Dems about what the PROBLEMS are and argue over the SOLUTIONS. What are the problems? Public opinion is clear on that. They're the wealth gap, minimum wage, health care, marijuana, COVID, racism, gun control, and climate change. They're NOT communism, threats to the 2nd Amendment, left-wing extremism, sanctuary cities, or gay rights. And there is equal blame on BOTH SIDES for "cancel culture" and outsourcing jobs overseas, so don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

  3919. John Salaman - - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

If Sanders wins the primary and doesn't EXPLAIN what he means by Democratic Socialist, he will lose to Trump.

  3930. So, let me get this straight. It's summer, 2016. Clinton and Trump win their primaries. Clinton is heavily favored to win the general election. So, she goes to the head of the CIA and says, "I need you to start fabricating intelligence documents and intercepts so that, in case I lose, we can stick it to Trump". James Clapper says, "Sure. Why not". Then, Clinton and Clapper go to the FBI, the DNI, DHS, The White House, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and about a dozen other intelligence services and ask them to do the same - fabricate evidence, documents, intercepts, etc., and they all say, "Sure". They go to Facebook and Twitter, and have them cook their books to make it look like Russians paid for ads. Hundreds, if not thousands of people get in on this conspiracy, and they're all cool about it. Nobody informs. Nobody gets caught. ?????

  3931. Michael Tarren Scott - You media bashers are ridiculous. Always mocking their accuracy and honesty, but never actually refuting the facts. And to do it in defense of an habitual liar like Trump is almost comical.
    3
  3932. Michael Tarren Scott - Those videos are almost all bs. Yes, a 24 hour, global news network that has been around for 30 years is going to have some inaccuracies on their record. Trump followers complaining about media fact checking is absurd. https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/20/president-trump-made-16241-false-or-misleading-claims-his-first-three-years/
    3
  3933. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.
    3
  3934. Joshua Jennings - Google a fact check on Uranium One, then STFU. What is your point, anyway? Are you saying that if Clinton was involved in a scandal over 7 years ago, it means we should just let Trump off the hook?
    3
  3935. AP AS - They were fired to eliminate the appearance of bias ahead of Mueller's smack down, and not one of them was fired for collusion with Democrats. Not one. How'd you like Trump flat-out tweeting that Sessions should play politics with the indictments of two Congressmen? Or did they mention that on FOX News?

  3936. Symbiotic ignorance.

  3937. Dave_T. - Dominion electrd them??? WTF are you talking about?

  3938. Trumpist Republicans don't want a secure election. When it's secure, they can't complain and claim there's fraud. When they're in power, it's a conflict for them because it's harder to claim they're oppressed. The way they remedy that is by concocting "deep state" conspiracy thories. "It's really the Democrats who are controlling things." Scroll down under FOX News videos. There are lots of comments that say, "Nothing will get done. Treasonous Dems will never be prosecuted because the deep state is protecting its own people." Then, they have their excuse. A major trait of conspiracy theorists is a need to feel they're being screwed and to say they KNOW they're being screwed, so they don't feel like fools. The irony is that attitude is what gets them screwed.

  3939. Kevin S - "Sides with China" how? News travels among right wingnuts like a childhood game of "telephone."
    3
  3940. B. T. - Trump personally made $5.6 million in profit from Chinese state-run entities while he was in office. He acted like he was all tough on them, then went to them and asked, "Please help me dig up dirt on Joe Biden."
    3
  3941. Wasn't Cruz a "Never Trumper"? Are there any of those Republicans left who aren't Trump's bitch now?
    3
  3942. All of the Republican Senators who voted to acquit Trump are idiots. If there's one more MAGA riot, those now on record defending that nonsense will lose their re-election bids. Trump won't be there to abuse his power to cover things up and spin it as a Democrat/media "hoax." Over the next few years, the news will be peppered with reports of Trump and his cronies' legal troubles. Enjoy the brief remainder of your political careers, morons.
    3
  3943. Leo c - Exactly! The MAGA cultists think the "all powerful deep state" didn't use their power to stop him from being elected, but engaged in a MASSIVE conspiracy to make him look bad on the slim chance that he won. It has never made sense.

  3944. soylentdean Biden on Chinese human rights abuses: "What I’m doing is making clear that we, in fact, are going to continue to reassert our role as spokespersons for human rights at the U.N. and other agencies that have an impact on their attitude.  China is trying very hard to become the world leader and to get that moniker. And to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries.  And as long as they’re engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s going to be hard for them to do that." It’s pretty clear that (1) Biden is not excusing China’s human rights abuses on the basis of the need to keep the country united, he’s saying that this is Xi’s rationale for his repressive policies; (2) his comment about “different norms” refers to the norm that requires him, as the American President, to speak out for human rights. https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

  3949. Nicholas Isaza - Yeah, he gave it to charity, but his charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". Are we supposed to believe he's some kind of philanthropist? He cost the Treasury more by doing that because the money still got paid out and he also got the tax write-off. What charity did he give it to? I'm not saying I have proof that he did it for nefarious reasons, but his credibility is zero, he's the most selfish man on Earth, and a tax cheat like Trump who owes hundreds of millions should want to take every bit of obviously clean money he can. It smells fishy.

  3952. It is time to legalize marijuana on the federal level. Bernie Sanders said he would have done it by executive order. Joe Biden should pledge to do the same. - It would be lots of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. Money going into the treasury instead of going into the Mexican black market. - We import tons of crappy weed from Mexico, where they spray it with pesticides banned in the US due to their toxicity. We could export some of the best buds in the world. - It would free up space in the prisons and jails, and free up resources in the police department. - Growers and retailers could put their money in the bank. - Work absenteeism costs billions a year. Marijuana is a great, natural sleep aid. When weed is accessible, drinkers drink less. They toke up and fall asleep instead of continuing to drink, staying up, and waking up hungover and sleep deprived. - Marijuana treats a variety of ailments such as cancer, migraines, and chronic stress. - The food industry, hard hit by COVID 19, would boom. - Weed makes dumb sitcoms funny. - Marijuana is perfectly legal in North Korea. Do we want to be less free and progressive than North Korea?

  3953. Peyton G - None of them want "macro level socialism", not even Bernie Sanders. That's a bullshit, right wing talking point.
    3
  3954. Phil - Exactly. That's the problem Sanders has to overcome. Since he brands himself a socialist, if he wins the nomination, he must EXPLAIN what Democratic Socialism is, or he WILL lose to Trump and the right wing spin machine. When he is asked about that, he changes the subject. He needs to tackle it head on.
    3
  3955. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.
    3
  3956. There are big differences between the Bill Clinton and Donald Trump probes. Trump is outraged that his campaign is being investigated, and has tried to stop it at every turn. Clinton, himself, appointed Ken Starr. Trump is complaining about bias with every top level Republican at the DOJ. He is being investigated by members of his own party. Ken Starr was a member of the opposing party. The Mueller probe, at base, is about Russian meddling - something that would be foolish to not look into. The Starr probe was about a land deal in Arkansas. It turned-up nothing. Then it became about Clinton's private sex life.
    3
  3957. Mulinaster - Ironically, it shows how bad YOU are with memes. I seriously doubt Trump knew it was derogatory, but if he did, why the hell would post it? It's like when you MAGA trolls name yourselves things like, "Liberal Snowflake" or "Nancy Pelosi". It's not somehow cleverly ironic. It's just stupid and makes no sense.
    3
  3958. Exactly! I was wondering if anyone else noticed that.
    3
  3959. Any time a reporter puts a microphone in a Trumper's face, they repeat a debunked talking point. Then, when the reporter gives them the facts, they walk away grumbling about the "fake" media.

  3960. You should LIKE that they have someone there to offer dissenting opinions.

  3963. When I was 16, I got a tailgating ticket and was convinced I didn't deserve it. My mother had to go to court with me and was livid that I argued with the judge. I was found guilty and sentenced to community service. I can't imagine if I'd told my mother, "I don't have to obey that judge. The President says so." How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?
    3
  3964. Other president's sincerity isn't in question because the speeches contradict their rhetoric. Other presidents prepare a lot more than him to maybe avoid calling people and cities by the wrong name on a regular basis. It was obvious the first time he spoke about this by his helicoptor, he had't given a minutes thought to what he'd say, and spouted the same crap about how he's done "more than any other administration".
    3
  3965. You people who say that are such IDIOTS! Do you not understand what a poll is? It is a survey. It is a percent chance. If you bet on a horse that has only a 10% chance of winning, and it wins, IT STILL ONLY HAD A 10% CHANCE OF WINNING! Any time there is a news story about a poll, the comment boards fill up with Trump loving idiots who say that CNN faked a poll or can't take a poll correctly. And by the way, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Polls reflect the popular vote, so the candidate with the overwhelming chance won the popular vote.

  3966. I used to think, "How do they sleep at night?" Then I remembered that Ronny Jackson passes Xanax and Ambien out to them like candy.

  3968. If this was Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman and his assistant, her personal attorney, her campaign security advisor, and her foreign policy advisor, who had flipped, and in addition, a dozen or so other close aides had admitted to lying about Russian contacts - one being her daughter, would you folks say it wasn't newsworthy? Would you call it a "witch hunt", and call distinguished, high level public servants crooks? Would you believe it if Hillary said they're ALL lying? Do you people HEAR YOURSELVES??
    3
  3969.  @TheBestWayOne  - Who said getting COVID didn't give you immunity? That's a well-known fact. It's what vaccines are based on. They have to repeat it with every story? They don't know how long the immunity lasts. By the way, 93% of those protests were peaceful. Who called a riot peaceful? Nobody.
    3
  3970.  Josh Edmonds  Charges for WHAT? Damn, you idiots refuse to believe there is even reasonable suspicion to even investigate Trump, no matter how many red flags he raises, but you think every Dem who even criticizes your dear leader has committed high fucking treason. Do you hear yourself? Is Trump rolling out some urban renewal plan? No. This started because Cummings triggered Trump over slum conditions in detention centers. Cummings didn't make that that up. It was in a DHS REPORT!
    3
  3971. Trump does not have confidence in the intelligence community. He does not accept their findings. Russia did it, but it could also be others, too? Others helped the Russians? Did it independently? If "others" also did it, it's no big deal? He didn't mean to say, "wouldn't". That is laughable. (Although he spells "they're" as "their", so he is bad with apostrophes). Obama did quite a bit to combat the Russian attack on our election. He kept it low-key so he wouldn't be accused of putting his thumb on the scale politically - which he (and the FBI) were accused of anyway. Trump has not made the situations in North Korea or Russia any better by simply holding a meeting (and giving them what they want while getting nothing in return). To say the North Korean nuclear threat is gone because he went there is ridiculous. To say Iran is a different country than it was five months ago is laughable.
    3
  3972. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

  3979. MrMnmn911 - Specific statements were mischaracterized. That means part(s) of it may or may not be true. That's as much as anyone can say. The most damning allegation was about Trump directing Cohen to lie to Congress. Now, look at Trump's pattern. He did direct Cohen to commit those FEC crimes. He OBVIOUSLY has tried to get to everyone he can to suppress the investigations. Only a fool wouldn't be suspicious.

You know, I kind of blame the media for asking Trump a thousand times in the 80s and 90s, "Have you thought about running for President?" WHY??? Because he was rich - among many rich people - but had the kind of ego that drove him to publicize it all the time?? SO?? How did that in any way qualify him to run the country?? This country is full of IDIOTS! A President should have experience in government, leadership skills, communication and problem solving skills. Being famous is not a qualification!!

  4000. What does the boss think when half the staff calls-in with the SAME lame excuse?
    3
  4001. Devin Rumer - It was more than just the dossier. -The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 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. - 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 140 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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. How the hell can you people say THESE things are not cause for suspicion, but the unspecified BS about Biden is? You obviously have a double standard when it comes to your tribe.

  4002. Devin Rumer - Itbis ABSURD to say Putin would have preferred Hillary. For one thing, Putin SAID he preferred Trump. Putin hated Clinton. He wanted her to lose more than he wanted Trump to win. Did he send people to meet with Hillary's daughter, son in law, and campaign manager to offer dirt on Trump?? Are you really that naive?

Do not vote for me. You have no place in our country." Then, you immediately stop using the term, "Nationalist", no matter what new connotation you want to attach to it, because it's a loaded term. It's totally unnecessary to use, especially in this political climate, so just fucking drop it. So, why does he go there every time?

  4011. Is there any good reason whatsover for the White House to block testimony by the CDC?

  4012. If Trump was standing in the road, and you told him, "Donald, move. There's a car coming", he would stand there and get hit, just because he doesn't like to be told what to do. If he survived, he would go stand on the road again, before his wounds even healed, just to try to prove you wrong. Nixon said, "If the president does it, it's not illegal." Trump's major malfunction is that he believes if HE does it, it can't be wrong.

  4021. - PROTESTING, (not rioting), AND attending a Trump rally are BOTH UNSAFE. - Most protesters wear masks. Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns. You can watch him lie on TV.

  4022. President Klobuchar is going to have a hell of a time getting the orange makeup stains off of the White House furniture. True story: Trump has a "rider" of sorts, like he's in Van Halen or something, where he demands two full and one half full jar of face makeup on his vanity. The color has the word "orange" in it.

  4030. So, the MAGA crowd argues that the insurrectionists should only get charged with trespassing, and that BLM rioters were given a break. Then, you point out that BLM rioters were handled the same way and that higher level insurrectionists have not been charged with higher crimes yet, and they conjure conspiracy theories. Yeah, because "Antifa" or a few FBI agents can incite a riot on the spot, but it's inconceivable that Trump, Stone and Giuliani could incite one with months of rhetoric, including a cry for "trial by combat"??

  4034. I've never been a huge Jake Tapper fan, but he is spot-on in this piece. I cannot believe tens of millions of people can't see through Trump's BS. It's so OBVIOUS! Trumpers, think about all of the things we liberals criticized, and you defended Trump for doing and saying. Now ask yourself, "If Biden did it...?" We know you know the answer to that.

You know, there's a line in the indictment where there's a string of numbers and letters identifying the statute. They have to fill-in that line.

Yes, North Korea continued its activities and rubbed Trump's face in it. His "plan" for NK didn't go anywhere past PR and photo ops. Look at the double standard between his Iran and North Korea policies.

  4048. Jamtommy - Yeah, because a President, former Vice President and decades-long Senator just lets others usurp his power and takes the blame when they screw up. You are clueless.

  4049.  @jamtommy6446  Keep up those talking points, but you're wasting your time. You can't tie Biden to China or convince us that Biden is a Chinese puppet or a racist, the latter being so incredibly absurd if you supported Trump. If that's the standard for Joe Biden being a racist, then Trump is a super-duper racist on steroids. You can't have it both ways.

  4050. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and the police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. China's lies about COVID were bad, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  4052. A case against the wall - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms - for cheap. It's because of our wealth. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success", except it's not a bullshit excuse for poor war planning. - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall because they're beset on all sides by terrorists who want to kill Jews. We only have two political borders. The 9/11 terrorists came in legally. They boarded planes and bought box cutters legally. Geography has been good to the US. - Spanish women are hot. If you were a bouncer at a club, you'd let them in, right? - In Europe, you can't go a few hundred miles without being somewhere the locals speak another language. Spanish is pretty close to English, which is rooted in Latin. The US isn't on the metric system because we have the size, geography, and power to say, "Screw that. We're not changing all of those road signs". Again, "catastrophic success", but this isn't a catastrophe or a national emergency. I'd like to keep ALLIES on our borders...But keep an eye on those shady Canadians. (Seriously. Putin is building military bases up North, and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house in Alaska). - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - To the xenophobes and fundamentalist Christians - Earth isn't 6000 years old. It's settled science. Think on a larger scale. Interbreeding is good. It breeds-out diseases. It opens the mind. That wall in Israel will eventually be torn apart by tectonic plates that don't care what you call "holy land". The human race rose long after the dinosaurs died - in Africa. Yes, we're all part black. Global warming is also settled science, so darker skin just might help the species survive. - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - Legal weed should be part of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They spray that crumbly, brown shit with pesticides that even Trump won't de-regulate. The "sin tax" on weed, paid by grateful potheads, would pay for his wall faster than anything we could skim from the USMCA. - "It's no fun being an illegal alien" - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If the government was serious about keeping "them" out, it would crack-down on the employers. Why don't they? (Money and special interests). - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Donald Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back".

DHS hasn't even spent $1.3 billion of last year's money. If they're already starting on "the wall", then why is Trump keeping the government shut down? There are existing and new, limited barriers Dems are more than happy to appropriate funds for.

  4055. TJ - The governors bear a lot of responsibility, but so does the federal government. This is so much worse in states where Republicans are governors, and they keep deferring to Trump. Also, Trump can't have it both ways. He can't claim credit for everything positive, and take no blame for the negative. Trump keeps saying HE PERSONALLY saved 2 million lives with his initial ban on some flights from China. Wrong. If NOBODY did ANYTHING, we were projected to lose 2.2 million lives.

  4061.  @michaelalbert8474  - FACTS The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  4062.  @michaelalbert8474  I read your post. Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring. So, what would you think if Biden or Obama had done what Trump did with Russia? You know the answer. You are a blind, biased sheep who won't use common sense.
    3
  4063.  @michaelalbert8474  I did read it. It was 10 instances of potential OBSTRUCTION. There were WAY more instances of Trump's people communicating with the Russian government. I listed them. You can't tell me even one specific item you think is false, and none of you will answer the question - If Obama or Biden did those things, would you be okay with it. Therefore, YOU are biased. YOU have been misled. The Trump Tower meeting alone was coordination, aka, COLLUSION. Look up ANY of what I posted. It happened. I don't need the media's opinions to form my own about the FACTS. And any Trump supporter complaining about dishonesty is laughable, since Trump was an habitual liar.

  4067. If Trump is innocent, when he found out Mike Flynn was talking sanction relief with the Russians behind Trump's back, why didn't he fire Flynn immediately? There was already suspicion. Why wasn't Trump super-pissed at him? (Same with Kushner, Sessions, Stone, Corsi, Page, Papadopoulos, Manafort...)

  4068. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  4073. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has a ?? (I always forget that word) Not an anagram. Not an abbreviation... what's the word? Anyway, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.

  4075. The US is an overly consumer driven country with poor leadership at the top. Once Biden takes office, he'll dust off the pandemic plans from the Bush and Obama administrations that Trump has ignored. In the spring, we'll have a vaccine, better herd immunity, and an actual plan. It's a shame that all we had to do was what other countries did, and this would have been mostly over with by now.

  4078. The reason for GOP voter suppression tactics is that there are more of us than them, so high turnout favors Dems. Minorities are reliably more likely to vote Dem, so it doesn't take a statistician to figure out their motive. There's an easy solution - Vote. - Make sure before election day that they haven't purged your eligibility on some technicality. - Make sure they haven't removed your local drop box. - Make sure you have ID if they require it. In most states, you can register to vote at the DMV. - If you vote by mail, return your ballot ASAP in case the GOP tries to slow the mail again or remove your local mailbox at the last minute. - Clear your schedule for election day. - Dress for the weather forecast. Bring an umbrella in case the GOP makes the line longer and routs it outdoors. - Bring snacks and soft drinks. If you need a lot of weed to wait in a long line, bring extra snacks and soft drinks. - Wear a diaper in case the GOP tries to deny access to a restroom or sabotage the toilets, but whatever you do, VOTE!

  4099. Cody - Jeez, it's always whataboutism qnd the same stupid talking points with you people. That talking point is absurd. Big cities elect Dems because they're BETTER at running them. Dems are better at enacting policies that serve dense, diverse populations. Cities inherently contain poor populations, which always comes with problems. Have you considered how cities evolve? They don't just turn on a dime when a new Mayor is elected. No city is entirely "run by Democrats." City dwellers are governed by Mayors and Aldermen, Governors, state legislatures, two national Senators, one or more Congressmen (or women), a POTUS... All have a hand in deciding how a locality is run and how it is funded. Do you think the current state of a 100 or 200 year old city depends on who's currently in office? If you want to be SPECIFIC about a problem in a specific city, by all means, address it. But that "Democrat cities" talking point is NONSENSE.

Are we NOT supposed to be suspicious when Trump's own son admits to meeting with the Russian government to trade dirt for sanction relief?? Did Dems make him cook the books to pay off women he still won't admit he fucked?? Holy shit, did Orin Hatch say shit like this when, after finding nothing on Clinton during Whitewater, the Republicans impeached him for lying about his sex life?? Hatch says we shouldn't care because this stuff happened before Trump was elected. It was WHILE HE WAS FUCKING RUNNING TO GET ELECTED!! Have you Trump cultists lost your fucking minds??

  4116. Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat - Trump is the self-described king of debt. He is adding the debt at a faster rate than Obama. Yes, Obama was dubbed "deporter in chief", so why does Trump blame illegal immigration on him and complain that Dems have done nothing about it and want open borders?

  4117. 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!

  4118. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

  4125. On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, that Wikileaks was to release hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he had communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Now, Stone and Corsi are contradicting each other. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He says he was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both candidate Trump and chairman, Paul Manafort, deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did that without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Is there reason to be suspicious yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

  4129. Put the racial element of fucko's tweet aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? Is this acceptable from a US President? How about if that President was Obama, Clinton, or a Democrat? What would conservatives say then?

  4130. I really think Trump resents his country. After his business failures, he couldn't borrow from US banks. He never blames himself, so he blamed the system. Along comes Putin to lend him money.

  4141. We already know Trump's debate talking points and comebacks. Lie about Biden's tax plan, border policy, spying on his campaign, Ukraine, his son, China, his stance on police, and falsely call him a communist. He'll lie and say he's built 300 miles of NEW border, when really it's 3 miles. Then, he'll paint a picture of "American carnage," where only liberals protest racism, and act like all protesters are rioting. He'll tout that he cancelled some flights from China as saving millions of lives, neglecting to mention that he was praising China and calling COVID a Democrat hoax the same week. He'll neglect to mention that he has downplayed the virus the whole time while downplaying it... He'll repeat everything he has been saying in his speeches. But in a debate, Biden will be right there with the FACTS to correct him. Biden will eat his lunch.

  4142. You people sure throw a lot of stones from that glass house. His handlers? Biden was a long time Senator and VP for 8 years. You really think he won't take charge? The problem with Trump is that he takes so much charge he doesn't even LISTEN to his staff and cabinet. They're SUPPOSED TO. It's how they get the FACTS to make informed decisions. But a narcissist like Trump refuses to learn anything because he thinks he already knows everything. It's predetermined in his head, so anyone who tries to advise him, to him, is a critic, hence a threat.

  4154. Clinton's plan was to collude with the Russians to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear the winner with. And she started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you all start fabricating intercepts and reports, commit major felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She also asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

There are career law enforcement and intelligence people like Comey, McCabe, and Brennan. People who brought down Gotti and bin Laden. Non-partisan public servants and diplomats. People who have attended top secret briefings and war room meetings. And you've got Donald Trump, with no respect for them, and with no prior experience in ANY government agency or office. He's never been a mayor or a county clerk. And he calls those people "leftist, deep state operatives" who should be tried for treason. Then, you've got career Republican lawmakers. He's their man. He gives them what they want, but still, he's an outsider who never put in a day of work in their field before becoming their leader. And they just LET him come in and take over? They let him smear and attack their colleges and elder statesmen with such disrespect and apathy? WTF are they thinking??

When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

  4164. Yaboi RyZe - His rhetoric. His defense of racists. And don't tell me I couldn't give a specific example, because that's my point - If you need a specific example of someone as obviously racist as him, you will always try to get him off on the "technicality" of not saying the N word, or not being a proven member of the Klan. That, in itself, is racist thinking. But here's one - He constantly implies that protesting racism IS racist. If you do that, YOU ARE RACIST.

Then, true to form, he started saying "3-5 million illegal votes." Yeah, because it makes sense to orchestrate a massive conspiracy to secure a win in a state Clinton was sure to win anyway. They don't think, because if they think, they have to admit they're wrong.

  4173. tedtheturbot - Obviously, the defense didn't prove that. He was convicted on all 7 counts. Even Trump didn't pardon him. He only commuted his sentence.

  4174. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? That's bad enough. Now, add the racial element to it. - He used a classic racist trope on four ethnic minority women, telling them they should go back to their home countries. - He was extremely deceitful in that because only one of them was born, as a child, outside of the US. - Whether or not HE thinks his tweet was racist and/or wrong for other reasons, he got feedback afterward. The feedback told him that a huge number, if not a majority of people in the country he leads were offended by it. Still, he doubled down on it! - Kellyanne Conway took it even further, saying that what Trump meant by where you should go back to was the country of your ancestors! - Trump has a HISTORY of saying things just like this. When, in a normal presidency, does this kind of thing come up even once, much less a dozen times? BEFORE he was president, he was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He entered politics by going after Obama's heritage. When he announced his candidacy, he called illegal Mexicans rapists. - Leaders of race-based hate groups are praising him, and he sees NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! The FBI sees something wrong with it. - No, it isn't "just words". Those words lead to unrest and violence. Look at Nazi Germany. Trump repeats the STALIN phrase, "enemy of the people", and domestic terrorists have since used those words to threaten news organizations. - "What about Rep. Omar's antisemetic remarks"? Those remarks criticized the greed of a COUNTRY, not a religion. They were one incident, made by a freshman Congresswoman, that WERE rebuked by members of her own party. What are people who use that line saying, anyway? That bigoted statements by public officials are okay? The gaslighting and HYPOCRISY by the Republican party is astounding. Mitch McConnell's wife, just like Ilian Omar, came to the US as a child. But when asked about that, Mcconnell launced into rhetoric about the American dream - while defending Trump! I've heard Conservatives say that because Trump hired Mcconnell's wife and Ben Carson, that's proof he isn't racist. Seriously? Furthermore, if Trump ISN'T racist, he should be appalled that racists do think he is racist. If he isn't racist, shouldn't he feel terrible that so many of his statements are taken by so many of his people AS RACIST?! Oh, yeah, he doesn't see Democrats and Americans who criticize him AS his people. He has stated that by stating that they hate America "with a passion" and should leave. The hypicrisy and gaslighting from the right is RIDICULOUS. America has a history of racial problems. The 20th Century has a history of it. Racial hate crimes are on the rise sharply since Trump took office. So, to have the nerve to gaslight, and act like we have no reason for concern is absolutely disgusting. I suggest some of you Youtube Trump trolls take a look at some videos showing how Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio were describing him BEFORE Trump was elected. And I suggest you ask yourself what you would think if Hillary Clinton or a Democrat said even half of what Trump says.

  4176. 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.

  4177.  @tart8228  It started as a very small group of people who never got their "movement" off the ground. When the FBI looked at it, they concluded that it's now more of an ideology than a group, and not a popular one. That's because violent groups dissolve when they can't get support. The Proud Boys and Q-Anon are increasing their numbers, though. That happens when an entire political party gives them the green light.

  4180. When Lee first complained about the briefing, he mentioned he wanted to talk to the president. I want to believe that he criticized Trump for the right reasons, but a cynical part of me wonders if he just did that to get a meeting with Trump to ask for something, election help maybe. It's just so rare that any of these Republicans have a spine and put country over party anymore. Anyone who accuses me of having an automatic liberal bias or a hatred for Trump might be right to some degree. But it is for good reasons. Trump and the Republicans have proven to be spineless and untrustworthy.

  4184. Trump has: 1) Called NATO obsolete. 2) Refused to reaffirm Article 5. 3) Worked to lift sanctions on Russia for their election meddling and invading Ukraine. (Need I mention why Michael Flynn is in trouble?) 4) Wants to recognize their annexation of Crimea. 5) REFUSES TO ADMIT RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR ELECTION. 6) Hired, then fired Rex Tillerson when Tillerson criticized Putin. 7) Invited Lavrov and Kislysk into the Oval Office at Putin's request. 8) Suspended South Korean military exercises, (which Putin has always wanted. 9) Refuses to criticize Putin AT ALL and actually defends some of his worst deeds. 10) Congratulated Putin on his stolen election against his advisors' advice, then TOLD PUTIN THOSE ADVISORS WERE STUPID! 11) Wanted to form a joint cyber security team with Putin. 12) Changed the official US position on Assad from "he must go" to "he can stay for now"...

Then, you point out that BLM rioters were handled the same way and that higher level insurrectionists have not been charged with higher crimes yet, and they conjure conspiracy theories. Yeah, because "Antifa" or a few FBI agents can incite a riot on the spot, but it's inconceivable that Trump, Stone and Giuliani could incite one with months of rhetoric, including a cry for "trial by combat"??

If you want to see truly fake "news", watch those ridiculous videos on YouTube, 99% of which are far, far right and obviously biased.

You won't be able to out-turnout Democrat voters who are sick of this crooked president and disgusted by what the Republicans did in the Senate impeachment trial. A lot of Dems stayed home on election day 2016 because they thought Clinton was sure to win. Not this time. Trump should have tried being president of the whole country, not just of the Republicans. Your boy is finished.

  4193. The FISA warrant wasn't to spy on the Trump campaign. It was to surveil Carter Page, and for good reason. The IC didn't share information with the Clinton campaign or the DNC. Notice that none of it was ever used in the campaign. Nothing from the dossier was used in the campaign either. FIRST, Popadopoulos told the Australian intel officer about seeking dirt on Clinton from Russia, and based on THAT, an undercover agent then made contact with him. Again, this wasn't for the Clinton campaign, and no information was given to Clinton.

  4194.  @Rich-kp1eu  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  4195.  @BunneRabb  - You've got that backwards. What assertions do "liberal" media not back up? You sound like you don't know the difference between fact, opinion and analysis. It's right wing media that outright lies abd misleads so much that FOX News had to claim in court that their hosts' statements shouldn't be taken as truth. A LOT changed in 1996 when FOX News - )Who COORDINATED with Trump and has huge viewership, so claiming "bias" against Trump is RIDICULOUS) - came along and branded itself as conservative when in actuality it is ALTERNATIVE. FOX News aligned itself with the political right, who couldn't win arguments on the House and Senate floors, so they started using FOX News to spread propaganda. News was not like this before FOX. Sure, there were networks that tended to lean one direction or another, but they agreed on the basic facts. FOX News gets away with this because they have no competition. They created a class all their own. Anyone who tries to compete either has to go even farther to the right, which means being absurdly dishonest and unprofessional - like OANN and Newsmax, or they have to be closer to the center, for which they will be seen as "liberal". There is no avenue for anyone to compete with FOX News, so there is no accountability for them.

  4197. - It's a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms because the US is a rich country next to a poor one. It's "catastrophic success". - Israel has a much smaller wall. It's beset on all sides by terrorists. We only have two borders, next to friendly countries. Geography is good to us. - We have net negative immigration. More are going than coming. It's a busy border. It always has been, always will be. People cross it in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - If you don't hire them, they won't come. We could crack-down on the employers. - Most illegals don't carry drugs on foot. They're smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had a submarine. It's fear-mongering to say Dems want open borders. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can he say what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Try to get a bank loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. I don't have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back". - We need comprehensive immigration reform. A path to citizenship, clear asylum policies, sensible border security measures, sensible drug policy, including legalized marijuana, and trade deals that include security measures.

  4199. 2Words 1Finger - It isn't complicated. Trump denies knowledge of all of these things. Mueller has interviewed so many people in Trump's orbit, it is nearly impossible that nobody has told him that Trump was aware of them. And yes, it is a fact that they all occurred. Nobody is disputing that. What the hell are you talking about?

  4200. Watching the Trump presidency is like watching Jerry Springer. I know it will always be the same mind-numbingly stupid crap. Sometimes it's kind of funny, but it just shows how stupid our society has become. I sure couldn't stand to watch it more than once in a blue moon, but his loyal fan base can't get enough. It's the same with those ridiculous reality game shows like The Apprentice. I never once watched it, and I was only even aware of it from skipping past it with the remote control. Did his followers watch it every day and never get sick of it?

  4202. Kay Bel - The difference is that other presidents don't have to be told so often that it comes to light in public, and other presidents heed the warning. They don't fire the advisor who told them. What kind of excuse is that, anyway?? "Can you be sure others haven't been told that?" So, you don't even know if they have, and if so, that makes it okay??

  4203. Trump Trolls: - If someone says, "Trump is a liar", and you say, "What about Obama?" 1)- You are conceding the point that he IS a liar. 2)- Two wrongs don't make a right. 3)- It doesn't "point out hypocrisy," because Trump does it A LOT more than Obama did. To be hypocritical, Obama would have to have been an HABITUAL liar. 4)- Obama and Clinton are not president. 5)- https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.57d3b4dace15 . That links to the Washington Post site that tracks Trumps 7500+ lies. If you say WaPo is not credible... - Discrediting the source, crying, "fake news", is absurd. Be SPECIFIC. Say what you think is wrong. Saying "CNN lies" is ridiculous. 99% of the time, you can't name even one lie. The other 1%, you name the same 2 "lies" that were MISTAKES, not lies. Those Youtube videos that "prove" CNN faked reports are all wrong. ALL of them. Retracted reports are not lies. Opinions are not lies. What someone says ON the news isn't what the outlet says. None are perfect. Most have a good record. You're ignorant about how journalism works. They work on deadlines. They compete for accuracy. Rarely, reporters go rogue, and they are dealt with. Sometimes, media get things wrong. That's a FAR CRY from earning a dishonest reputation. And it is truly hypocritical, considering Trump lies constantly. He has planted fake stories in the media. He called a show pretending to be someone else. He literally coordinates with... - FOX News. FOX has no competition in right-wing, visual news media, and it shows. Think MSM is biased? Do you criticize FOX as much? Every report is, "The left! The Dems!" The media aren't supposed to report on themselves unless it's necessary. FOX trashes its own colleges. Trump COORDINATES with Hannity! That's like state-run media. Many of his staff come directly from FOX News. Lara TRUMP works at FOX. Notice how little actual substance and fact goes into their reporting. - Writing "Libtard" and calling yourself, "Globalist Socialists Eat Cat Cock" makes you look stupid. Yeah, someone named "Libtard Dick Butter" must really know a lot about geopolitics. If your goal is to gloat and get people to cry "liberal tears", you miss the point of politics, and I hope you won't vote next time. - Learn what socialist and globalist mean. Every government has socialist elements. Trump is a globalist. - Nothing Clinton or Mueller did with uranium or Uranium One was illegal or treasonous. You know nothing about it. You refuse to accept the truth. If you can post that crap, you can Google the facts. - To say "Clinton colluded with Russia" is utterly ridiculous. Putin wanted her to lose more than he wanted Trump to win. The dossier? 1)- was NOT what started the probe. 2)- As a matter of policy, Fusion GPS did not disclose their methods to Clinton. 3)- Fusion GPS was first hired by the Republicans. 4)- The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT, which was not the case with the DNC. Therefore, IF what the Dems did was illegal, then what Trump's people did was super-duper illegal! Get it? - You can't say there is no evidence in the Russia probe. Everything points to Mueller having direct evidence, and there is a TON of circumstantial evidence. To act like people have no cause, even for SUSPICION is just crazy. There is every reason for the investigation, especially because Trump refused to support a probe into what happened when the Russians attacked our election - the one that HE BENEFITTED FROM. Stop your gaslighting. Trump should WANT a probe to clear him. He should want to protect his country. The Mueller probe is less than 2 years old. Watergate took 2 years. The Starr probe took much longer. Benghazi had, what, 9 probes? - Ken Starr and Bill Clinton were from opposing parties. Mueller is a Republican. Trump says there is a conflict of interest. He says Mueller should be recused because he didn't like Trump's golf course. Conflicts of interest don't exist to him when it comes to doing business with the Saudis, Russians, and Chinese. - If you're going to respond to a "libtard" by saying, "Your stupid", learn to spell YOU'RE. It's so ironic. Nobody is a perfect speller. I'm not. But why is it that Trumpers are the worst? Trump can't spell "they're", "border", or "smoke". He thinks capitalizing the first letter of a word shows emphasis. It doesn't. It makes things hard to read. Scott Free isn't a person. Trump went to the best schools, right? So, either he doesn't care to learn, and has no sense of refinement, or he does it on purpose to deceive you into thinking he's "poorly educated". Neither is a good thing. Do you not see that calling his base "poorly educated" was an INSULT? - YOU are the biased in the bubble. YOU are the ones who think from the gut rather than the brain. You should search the definition of PROJECTION. - If you believe there's a deep state run by liberals, you have no common sense, and no idea how the world works. - Everything isn't about personal, partisan politics. FBI agents, like local cops, don't think about D's and R's at work. CIA analysts couldn't care less when they're catching terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist. The media doesn't work for the Democrats. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat.

  4204.  @RP-fm6fn  ... Yes, he colluded with the Russians! That's that FARA thing I mentioned, in case you don't know what that is. He attended an event in Moscow with Putin, an RT event (Russia Today aka Russian propaganda), spoke, got paid, and lied about it. He failed to register as a foreign agent. He repeated propaganda linked to the Kremlin.

You KNOW that's true, so cut the crap!

  4207. I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but I think Trump has ODD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, a condition that commonly affects children, where someone refuses to take advice or suggestions simply because they can't stand to be told what to do. It's why he repeats behavior that reflects poorly on him, even though he is obsessed with his image. A family member I know well has this condition. I always said, "If he was standing in the road, and I said, 'Car's coming. Move,'" he would stand there and get hit rather than move. When Trump got elected, I started noticing LOTS of similarities between them. I used to also think that if my family member had money or power, he'd be dangerous.

Over the next few years, the news will be peppered with reports of Trump and his cronies' legal troubles. Enjoy the brief remainder of your political careers, morons.

  4217. Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility after the next election. So? To do WHAT? We don't know. Maybe something LEGAL? Maybe Obama had a busy schedule. Maybe Obama was brushing the Russian off. "Don't call me. I'll call you". "Yeah, we should do lunch some time". Trump followers point to vagaries as proof of something nefarious, like saying the words "insurance policy" in a text proves a deep state conspiracy. But you can show them a ton of suspicious activity and lies by Trump, and they not only dismiss it as nothing, but insist we don't have reason to be suspicious at all.

  4224. 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.

  4238. Hildebeast Clinton - Every one of your points is BS. Nobody said Trump did nothing. He didn't do enough, and he is doing things counterproductive. The media never said it didn't come from China. Yes, there were epidemics during the Obama Administration, and Obama took action and took it seriously. You're not the sharpest tack in the box, are you?

They don't apply to everyone, but if someone keeps touching their nose or shaking their head "no" when they're speaking in the affirmative, be suspicious. Those are very often signs that either they are lying or they don't truly believe what they are saying. That said, some people are just nose touchers and head shakers.

  4243. Jay Hi5 - How is Biden corrupt? And here we have another dimwit who doesn't know what a poll is. Polls don't say anyone will win. Do you understand whata percent chance is? And Clinton did win the popular vote, which is the chance those polls indicate. It also might say something about Russian interference. CNN isn't pushing anyone, moron. It's called reporting the news. By the way, Trump paid for fake polls! And did you see that joke of a survey Trump put out after the state of the union?
    3
  4244. - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there is a 70% chance of snow, it means there is a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

We bailed out GM, and they repaid their debt. You clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Charging or investigating the president is illegal. That's treason, which is punishable by death. Criticizing the president is deportable and impeachable, even if the criticism comes from a senator, who cannot be impeached.

  4253. I'm no big fan of hers, but SE Cupp made a good point about those who think putting up with Trump's cultural crap is "worth it" for a good economy. How low are we setting the bar? We have had plenty of Presidents who could handle the economy well without being assholes. Statistically, on average, the economy has been slightly be with Democrats in the White House. Despite what Trump says, this is NOT the best economy in history. He can't point to any specific policies that have contributed to it except for "confidence", which is mostly a stock market factor. The stock market is only a part of the economy, and what goes up must come down. Corporate tax breaks only stimulate short term, and those tax breaks put NO requirements on corporations to create jobs. Despite what he says, companies are NOT coming back from other countries or staying here because of his policies. It's all about the bottom line.

  4254. Half of the "accomplishments" Trump supporters taut are not seen as positive things by over half of the country. Tax cuts for the 1%, baby jails on the border, de-regulating everything arbitrarily with no regard for consequences, tearing down the wall between church and state, building an actual wall on the southern border, pulling out of the Iran deal and Paris Agreements...Can he ever do anything we ALL approve of? How about simple majority approval? And some are just lies. Trump has FAILED with North Korea, (They just announced they're considering restarting a nuclear reactor). He has ceded power to Russia

  4258. Law enforcement 101: If the cops have REASONABLE SUSPICION that a crime has occured, they do an INVESTIGATION. If they find further evidence of a crime, they bring that evidence to a prosecutor, who then decides whether or not to indict. If the prosecutor doesn't indict, it doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing. It means there was not enough evidence to prosecute. If a crime is prosecuted, and the defendent is not found guilty, the defendent is found NOT GUILTY of a CRIME. They are not found INNOCENT. It doesn't mean there was no reason for an investigation. It doesn't mean the cops and/or prosecutor, themselves, committed a crime. There was plenty of reason to suspect that the Russians committed a crime, hence reason to investigate. Common sense said that the Trump campaign may have been involved, since they were the BENEFICIARIES of that crime. The beneficiaries LIED to the cops. 16 Trump associates lied, and denied ANY involvement with the Russians. Trump, himself, lied about dealings with the Russians. Trump's people WERE SECRETLY CONTACTING THE MAIN SUSPECTS - THE RUSSIANS. That is REASONABLE SUSPICION. Any questions?

  4259. Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility once out of office. 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.

  4260. P4OUR - Exactly! It kills me how these Trumpers will deny facts and real things that arouse real suspicions about him. They're always saying "that's not proof!" But any vague thing pulled out of context about Clinton or Obama is proof to them of some vast deep state conspiracy.

Republicans have some nerve calling Democrats obstructionists. FYI, 4 Democratic Senators voted to avoid a shutdown, and 5 Republicans didn't. Remember Obama's Supreme Court nominee? Obstructionist Dems? "Make Obama a one term president"?? They shut out Dems in the health care debate. Obama tried like hell to work with Republicans.

  4282. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  4283.  @TheRenegadewoman  - My theory is that Trump inundated us with so much BS that the press couldn't keep up, especially when they choose simple sensationalism over real investigative journalism and thoughtful analysis.

Jeez, have you ever paid attention to an election cycle before? People come from behind all the time. The numbers change like crazy. The smaller the field gets, the bigger their percentages get. That's simple math. Personally, I like her. She IS a centrist, she's smart, experienced, and does good work in the Senate. But that's neither here nor there. CNN isn't "pushing" her. Can't anyone just watch the news anymore and just pay attention to the FACTS without a critique of the motives of the reporters? Sure, they do have motives, but when you get too far in the weeds with that, you lose all perspective. Just ignore the sensationalism and the (often falsely perceived) opinions, and just listen to the FACTS. And, no, I'm not an executive.

Trump's own voter fraud commission found NO evidence of illegals voting.

  4296.  @brianlawrence8314  Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

"There are more people retired" was clearly to say there are more than there used to be. It was vague wording. Those saying they're shocked that CNN would fact-check a Dem don't see that they try HARDER to criticize Dems in a futile attempt to quiet that criticism and prove they're being fair. Media should just do their job! They'll never stop hypocrites like Hannity from crying "liberal bias." He'll always call CNN a mob in bed with Dems, no matter how much they report negative things about Biden or Cuomo. Yes, Biden got the other things wrong. He needs to tighten it up. But they weren't attempts to deceive. It was bad fact checking by Biden, himself. It's still a far cry from the habitual, deliberate lying by the last guy.

  4302. There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.
    3
  4303. RUSSIAN BOT - Right off the bat, the idea that CNN is working for Putin is absurd, and there is every reason for Putin to support Trump. First, in the 2016 election, Putin wanted Clinton to lose just as much as he wanted Trump to win. Putin hated Clinton. As Secretary of State, she was a thorn in his side. Speaking of Secretary of State, do you think it's a coincidence that Trump chose Rex Tillerson, Exxon CEO who received one of Russia's highest honors. Obama's sanctions on Russia squashed a $500 billion oil deal with a Russian, state-owned oil company. Then, the day after Tillerson criticized Putin, Trump fired him. There is so much I could lay out here to show Trump does EVERYTHING Putin wants - It is baffling why Trump supports him, with seemingly no reason except that he is Putin's puppet. What the hell would be CNN's motive? My guess is that you are an actual Russian troll, a crazy conspiracy theorist, or both.

  4307. So, the left-wing plan to get Trump was to let him - even HELP him - get elected, and then go after him afterward? You'd think they would try to PREVENT his election in the first place. Why would Comey announce the re-opening of the Clinton email case, but not the Russia investigation? (To stay out of politics). Why didn't the Clinton camp put out the dossier before the election? (Steele didn't give it to Clinton. He gave it to the FBI). Why didn't the Clinton camp expose Manafort, Papadopoulos, Cohen, and Page's dealings before the election? (Clinton didn't know about it. The FBI did, and they kept it quiet so they wouldn't screw-up their case. If they were out to stop Trump, they would have leaked it to Clinton). Make sense?

  4308. How do Trump supporters NOT see how much of an overgrown child in tantrum he is? I feel like I woke up in some alternate universe on November 9, 2016. Remember when Howard Dean made a weird noise in 2004, and it pretty much sunk his campaign? How are Trumpers okay with his CONSTANT lying? His obvious unwillingness to learn? His obvious business conflicts of interest? And the obvious VALID suspicions about everyone in his orbit having shady dealings with Russia?

  4313. Dicky Jones - Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

The deep state couldn't stop Trump from becoming president? The deep state allowed Republicans to control the Senate, the White House, and gain and have a Conservative majority on the Supreme Court? They also had the House for Trump's first two years. They literary controlled everything. - You would have to believe that the media outlets ALL get together and coordinate their message, even though they COMPETE with each other and live to expose facts. The "liberal" media and the deep state allow FOX News to exist? Really? - You would have to believe the president when he says almost everyone else is lying about him on an almost daily basis, even though he is a PROVEN habitual liar. Really? REALLY??

  4319. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  4321. Lover of Freedom P. - That is such a ridiculous argument. It's not millions. They are being tested. There are COVID restrictions at the border, and it is much more likely to be found out in migrants at the border than it is in the average citizen. Those crossing the border are a drop in the bucket compared to all of the travelers coming into and leaving the US every day.

  4322. Fun fact: Trump paid for fake online polls in 2016, and he is suing CNN over the real ones.

  4323. And what he pulls out of his ass.

  4324. Can we please draw a line? Can we make a rule? No NEW racial slurs. The N-word, blackface, the S-word for Hispanics, the C-word for Asians...Any mature person today should know what's truly offensive. I'm a white liberal. Some of my BEST friends are black. NOT "token" black friends, so don't give me that, "Saying you have black friends is racist" BS. I'm differentiating here. I have TRUE black friends. I've spent years living with black people, so if you don't understand what I'm saying here, then YOU are part of the problem, and YOU are an intolerant, extreme liberal. I'm also a New York Jew. Am I allowed to use the word, "ghetto"? It's not like I say it all the time, but I've never caused problems saying it in mixed company. There are lots of things that blacks AND whites do that are straight-up ghetto. If neo-liberals want to "ban" a word that used to be acceptable, they should at least do a press-release to let us know. (Do the kids still say, "straight up?) If you don't get why I mentioned that I'm Jewish, you should learn something about Jews and the word, "ghetto". I'm also a New York Jew who spent half his life in the South. That Confederate flag doesn't mean the same thing everywhere. If it were up to me, I'd put it in that "offensive" category, and ban it at NASCAR. I've always wondered why they displayed it at Governors' mansions and Southern courthouses. But I also know that a lot of Southerners see it the same way as some blacks see wearing African jewelry as an expression of black pride. They see it as Southern pride, so don't act like they're Klan members. They're not. A lot of them are "Just good 'ole boys, never meanin' no harm." Too many extreme liberals are becoming just as intolerant as racists.

  4325. He is innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't been charged with anything. Is that what you say about Clinton? Oh, no. Any bit of suspicion based on nothing, and it's "lock her up!"
    3
  4326. Brian Jones - Yeah, so ignorant to believe the candidate who was projected to win actually won, and the candidate who never had the support of half the country lost.
    3
  4327. If you believe this is a hoax/conspiracy, you have to believe the entire IC - FBI, CIA, DNI, NSA, DHS, as well as Facebook, Twitter, British and Dutch intelligence were ALL in on it - since last spring - just to help Hillary make Trump look bad in case she lost! Are you people that stupid?
    3
  4328. Give up on that. He will be sued out of all of his money. He will probably be charged with crimes. But he will not go to prison unless he actually shoots someone on 5th Avenue. That's because of what he has never understood about trying to lock up Clinton and Biden - We don't, and shouldn't send our elder statesmen to prison. It isn't that he doesn't deserve it. He DOES. It's for the simple fact that WE CANNOT BECOME A BANANA REPUBLIC, and that is exactly what they do in those countries. It pisses me off every time those MAGA morons start chanting, "lock her/him up". Trump even wanted to TURN BIDEN OVER TO THE UKRAINIANS FOR TRIAL! He wanted to send American Ambassadors that Putin had beef with to Russia to be jailed. A Turkish cleric in asylum here to be tortured and killed. Trump actually deserves prison. I think he is a TRAITOR. But this is just one of those, "we have to be better than that" things, because the consequences would be worse. Just know that the Trump "empire" has numbered days, and he will die as miserable as he lived.

  4329. "Confessed" in a room full of people? Fucking idiot, first, where's the lie there? Second, what he did was in the interest of US policy, and endorsed by everyone, including the REPUBLICANS.

  4338. He does it all the time. He dangled pardons for DHS staff, saying they should break eminent domain laws and he would pardon them. When caught, he said he was kidding.

  4339. He is one of those people who eventually has a problem with everyone. He's a screw-up who never tales blame, so he blames whoever is around.

  4341. In Soviet Union, doctor vaccinates virus.

  4342. Trump's argument that the Chinese could have stopped COVID 19 in China is undercut by the fact that he didn't stop it here. He had the benefit of knowing it was coming.
    3
  4343. It's kind of backwards to wonder how something could come from nothing. Nobody has ever experienced nothingness. All we've ever known is a universe that has stuff in it.
    3
  4344. Not only did Trump never reach out to voters beyond his base, he ridiculed those not in his base. He was 10 points behind Biden for the whole campaign. So, to be in disbelief that he lost is ridiculous.

  4346. She'd have to shoot a puppy on Pennsylvania Avenue... Nah, they'd just say the puppy was an Antifa terrorist who had it coming. Didn't a Democratic Congresswoman just resign a couple of years ago over a personal, bisexual sex tape?

  4347. Muddy Water - There's nothing to backfire. 15% of the population supports it. Another straw man argument.
    3
  4348. Brad Canning - That war was all about Halliburton, who got huge, no-bid contracts and charged the military $100 to do a bag of laundry for the troops. Those "cost plus" deals made it profitable for defense contractors when soldiers destroyed equipment. I'm pretty liberal, and I supported the first Gulf War. That was just desert warfare to back-off a bully who was destabilizing the region. That second one was a disgusting effort to profiteer, and the political class should have known that house to house fighting was nothing like picking off easily identifiable soldiers in the open dessert.
    3
  4349. I have yet to hear Trump or any of his cult following even start to explain how this UTTERLY RIDICULOUS 2016 election interference worked.

  4351. America is 64% vaccinated with at least one dose. That's as good as it's gonna get. Most who've had one dose will get the second. Most of the other 36% won't even get the first. It's no coincidence that 36% is also the steady MAGA percentage. COVID was so politicized, I'd bet a dime to a bottle of worm spit that most who refuse the vaccine are MAGA folk. I predict COVID won't go away entirely. The MAGA crowd will keep it around enough to mutate into more stubborn strains. It won't be as bad, but bad enough to cause a large number of cases, still much worse than the flu, into the winter. Data will show most of those infected will be MAGA morons. There may be surges in some areas where the CDC will recommend wearing masks again. I'm vaccinated, but I wouldn't mind wearing one again, only to hide my laughter at the fools. We can't segregate into blue and red states or create Magastan, wall it off, (unlike Mexico, I'd gladly help pay for it), and let their fantasy utopia fail without them being able to blame liberals. But COVID is one area where we'll be separate. It won't affect us as long as they don't raise health insurance premiums on those who got vaccinated. (Hey MAGAtards, you have us who wore masks and got shots to thank for there not being 2.2 million deaths and the economy and health care systems not completely crashing, you selfish, anti-social, paranoid freaks).

  4353.  @vforwombat9915  - I think the most obvious example was when Giuliani told the mob, "Let's have trial by combat," as Trump cheered him on. A decent president would have at least said, "Rudy! Not cool!" and told him to get off the stage.
    3
  4354. Why do we only hear about masks and distance? I think people mindlessly go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is the same as being too close. Elevators and city busses are major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. How many people attend events in cars, but stop at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often thins crowds, and allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Are you aware of touching your eyes after taking off your shoes, after walking on possibly virus-covered floors? The more a virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Then we need a new vaccine.

  4355. David J - That's what got him off for the Russian collusion. There was reasonable doubt as to intent because he was a newbie and an idiot. He's not a newbie anymore, and being an idiot isn't enough this time.

  4356. Trump supporters think typing into a Youtube search box for non-journalist hack videos to feed their confirmation bias is "research". What a joke.
    3
  4357. Yes. It hurts their egos. People feel they have to have an opinion, they have to form it immediately, and they can NEVER change that opinion. It leaves little room for rational thought.

  4358. Somehow, I don't think Trump is going to leave office after two full terms with a 60% approval rating. He'll be lucky to leave prison alive.

  4359. Intubate and Ventilate The Democrats - Open everything up, and the economy will crash anyway. A second stimulus package wouldn't be necessary if we had done things right in the first place. That's a fact. If you doubt that, look at the rest of the world.

  4360. Chris Jansen - Those riots were not done by Democrats, moron. Nobody condoned them. And it's been proven there was not fraud.

  4361. Remember the "Never Trump" movement? Apparently, they didn't know what "never" means.
    3
  4362. Kev Grant - Seems tp happen a lot with him. Maybe Trump needs to learn how to articulate and get his message across. How many times have you heard his people saying, "I think what the president meant was..." and then blame us and the media for not understanding him. It's all BS. He is full of it.

  4363. reality, aka Timmy Truth, aka Tweatles, aka William H Music, aka incredibly immature, homophobe who's probably a closet homosexual. Why don't you get off Youtube for long enough to bathe and wash your clothes. Then maybe you can go out to a gay bar and find yourself a nice man.

  4364. He dished-out all of that birther bullshit to Obama. Then when Obama gave him shit back, while poking fun of himself with that Lion King clip, Trump couldn't take it. Check out his Comedy Central roast. He was stale-faced the whole time. Check this out, too: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vuP1e0RNF-0

  4365. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can produce up to 20% of uranium from US mines. The advisory board consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, does NOT have veto power, 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.
    3
  4366. Why buy a fake dossier? If they just wanted to make shit up, they could have done that for free, and the story would fall apart when it couldn't be verified. The dossier, (that was NOT what started this), has NOT been disproven. Do you think the Dems have a time machine? The dossier was started well before the election. Why would Clinton, who thought she was sure to win, plan an intricate revenge plot, just in case she lost, involving the CIA, FBI, foreign intel, and about a dozen other "deep state" agencies. Sure, INTEL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT were ready to risk everything to make Trump look bad. Non-political agencies put law and national security aside for that?? And even though half of them were Republicans, miraculously, nobody leaked or got caught? Don't you think if they had the power to do that, they wouldn't pull a much simpler trick to stop Trump from winning in the first place? The most damning part of the dossier is Cohen meeting Russians in Prague, and guess what - Cohen's sentencing memo revealed he now admits he lied about not wanting to travel to meet them. Turns out, he was eager. That's just the icing on the collusion cake. If there's a "pee tape", that would be the cherry on top.
    3
  4367. In 2016, Trump didn't expect to win, but he still claimed the election was rigged against him (while his people were taking help from the Russians). Then, he won, but still claimed it was rigged to contest the popular vote. (He claimed Clinton set up a massive undocumented voter scheme to win California - a state she had virtually no chance of losing anyway).
    3
  4368.  @30.06onaGrassyKnoll  Oh, it's downright bizarre. They also want to give Trump credit for saving millions of lives - for literally opposing ALL measures to combat the virus. A third of this country is effing STUPID.

  4371. Cop - "You're reporting a theft? Who do you think might have done it?" Don - "Joe and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think it was them?" Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  4373. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. TRUMP WAS THE LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

  4374. Trump Trolls: - If someone says, "Trump is a liar", and you say, "What about Obama?" 1)- You are conceding the point that he IS a liar. 2)- Two wrongs don't make a right. 3)- It doesn't "point out hypocrisy," because Trump does it A LOT more than Obama did. To be hypocritical, Obama would have to have been an HABITUAL liar. 4)- Obama and Clinton are not president. 5)- https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.57d3b4dace15 . That links to the Washington Post site that tracks Trumps 7500+ lies. If you say WaPo is not credible... - Discrediting the source, crying, "fake news", is absurd. Be SPECIFIC. Say what you think is wrong. Saying "CNN lies" is ridiculous. 99% of the time, you can't name even one lie. The other 1%, you name the same 2 "lies" that were MISTAKES, not lies. Those Youtube videos that "prove" CNN faked reports are all wrong. ALL of them. Retracted reports are not lies. Opinions are not lies. What someone says ON the news isn't what the outlet says. None are perfect. Most have a good record. You're ignorant about how journalism works. They work on deadlines. They compete for accuracy. Rarely, reporters go rogue, and they are dealt with. Sometimes, media get things wrong. That's a FAR CRY from earning a dishonest reputation. And it is truly hypocritical, considering Trump lies constantly. He has planted fake stories in the media. He called a show pretending to be someone else. He literally coordinates with... - FOX News. FOX has no competition in right-wing, visual news media, and it shows. Think MSM is biased? Do you criticize FOX as much? Every report is, "The left! The Dems!" The media aren't supposed to report on themselves unless it's necessary. FOX trashes its own colleges. Trump COORDINATES with Hannity! That's like state-run media. Many of his staff come directly from FOX News. Lara TRUMP works at FOX. Notice how little actual substance and fact goes into their reporting. - Writing "Libtard" and calling yourself, "Globalist Socialists Eat Cat Cock" makes you look stupid. Yeah, someone named "Libtard Dick Butter" must really know a lot about geopolitics. If your goal is to gloat and get people to cry "liberal tears", you miss the point of politics, and I hope you won't vote next time. - Learn what socialist and globalist mean. Every government has socialist elements. Trump is a globalist. - Nothing Clinton or Mueller did with uranium or Uranium One was illegal or treasonous. You know nothing about it. You refuse to accept the truth. If you can post that crap, you can Google the facts. - To say "Clinton colluded with Russia" is utterly ridiculous. Putin wanted her to lose more than he wanted Trump to win. The dossier? 1)- was NOT what started the probe. 2)- As a matter of policy, Fusion GPS did not disclose their methods to Clinton. 3)- Fusion GPS was first hired by the Republicans. 4)- The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT, which was not the case with the DNC. Therefore, IF what the Dems did was illegal, then what Trump's people did was super-duper illegal! Get it? - You can't say there is no evidence in the Russia probe. Everything points to Mueller having direct evidence, and there is a TON of circumstantial evidence. To act like people have no cause, even for SUSPICION is just crazy. There is every reason for the investigation, especially because Trump refused to support a probe into what happened when the Russians attacked our election - the one that HE BENEFITTED FROM. Stop your gaslighting. Trump should WANT a probe to clear him. He should want to protect his country. The Mueller probe is less than 2 years old. Watergate took 2 years. The Starr probe took much longer. Benghazi had, what, 9 probes? - Ken Starr and Bill Clinton were from opposing parties. Mueller is a Republican. Trump says there is a conflict of interest. He says Mueller should be recused because he didn't like Trump's golf course. Conflicts of interest don't exist to him when it comes to doing business with the Saudis, Russians, and Chinese. - If you're going to respond to a "libtard" by saying, "Your stupid", learn to spell YOU'RE. It's so ironic. Nobody is a perfect speller. I'm not. But why is it that Trumpers are the worst? Trump can't spell "they're", "border", or "smoke". He thinks capitalizing the first letter of a word shows emphasis. It doesn't. It makes things hard to read. Scott Free isn't a person. Trump went to the best schools, right? So, either he doesn't care to learn, and has no sense of refinement, or he does it on purpose to deceive you into thinking he's "poorly educated". Neither is a good thing. Do you not see that calling his base "poorly educated" was an INSULT? - YOU are the biased in the bubble. YOU are the ones who think from the gut rather than the brain. You should search the definition of PROJECTION. - If you believe there's a deep state run by liberals, you have no common sense, and no idea how the world works. - Everything isn't about personal, partisan politics. FBI agents, like local cops, don't think about D's and R's at work. CIA analysts couldn't care less when they're catching terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist. The media doesn't work for the Democrats. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat.

  4378. Trump is blaming the media and video games for these shootings. He's trying to use tragedy to pass immigration reform. Talk about politicizing. The media reporting on hate isn't hateful. Reporting on racism isn't racist. Trumpers cry bias, but only the biased say such absurd things. They should check their own hypocrisy. Trump has some nerve to cry "fake news" while he spreads it himself and lies on an habitual level. He's got some nerve to try to attach immigration laws to potential legislation inspired by a shooter who targeted immigrants. When Dems object to provisions about immigration, he wants to point to it and say, "See, they don't really want gun control".

  4401. The FBI isn't even supposed to ask about a new recruit's political views, so they can't weed them out from the start. Political opinions do not equal political bias. Mueller and Rosenstein are Republicans. Trump appointed Rosenstein and considered Mueller for FBI Director again. What more do they want? Ken Starr was a Republican when he investigated Bill Clinton. Comey was a Republican before he went independent. Comey hurt Clinton's chances with his announcement about reopening the email probe over the mere possibility that her assistant's emails with Clinton were not duplicates, and DIDN'T announce that there was a probe into Trump's ties to Russia. It cost Clinton 3 points, and probably the election. Trump and the Republicans have it pretty damn good. Yet they persist with this nonsense. They're desperate.

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. How would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  4406. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  4407. The question is why NOW do we have a sudden spike in immigration? Trump has gotten his emergency funding. He put the National Guard down there. He has sent warnings to the immigrants. He has threatened punative measures. So why NOW is there an uptick? Are his policies not working? Think, Trumpers. If Trump is doing so damn good with stopping illegal (and legal immigration. He wants to eliminate the distinction), then why is it supposedly getting WORSE? I have some ideas why, but Trumpers, I want to hear YOUR excuses.

  4409. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

They'll report on a crooked Dem just the same. Some even try TOO hard to be hard on Dems because that "bias" accusation started working, and they tried too hard to appear balanced.

  4413. Billy Cole, Jr - Pragmatic solutions to the nation's problems. You're going to hear a lot of "We hear you, but unlike Trump, we're not going to lie to you or be a dick about immigration policies". But none 9f that is even needed, because Trump is virtually producing Dems campaign ads. They'll just show video of him saying one thing one day, and the opposite the next. Did Trump really have a message? "Drain the swamp"? Jobs? Give me a break. ALL politicians say that. Incumbent parties run on their records, saying they have more work to do, and challengers run on change. Trump just sucked-up all of the oxygen being a jackass, and the media the right whines about being unfair to him actually gave him too much exposure. Clinton and Sanders had good ideas, but dumbasses want a show. They want old squares to be "rock stars", not boring politicians - which is what we need. But we're seeing where that got us. Dems are running a lot of newcomer grass roots candidates. Local level specific issues. If they're smart, they'll run on states' rights to legalize marijuana. But like I said, being anti-Trump, mature, and civil will be enough. Republicans are retiring en masse, because they know by standing by Trump, it's probably their last dance.

  4415.  @user-dy9ux5dc6e  No. She literally conceded on election night. Trump, on the other hand, said Hillary stole the popular vote from him and refused to concede in 2020. Last years propaganda? The following is a list of FACTS, and anyone with common sense knows they required investigation. If Obama did them, you'd be outraged: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

He has never had an approval rating over 50% for even a day, and 51% want him removed from office. He treats half the country like it's his enemy. Do the math. He can't do simple math, but it been explained to him. That's why he has to cheat to win, and his party has endorsed his solicitation of foreign government election help, which is a CRIME. Acquitted "forever"? Of THIS crime. If he gets reelected, he WILL commit more crimes. Guaranteed.

  4420. LiLo Games - CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, ballot audits, multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy, a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. Trump lost.

(The US was instrumental in driving out the Soviets). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy.

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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him".

(No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

This is NOT about some FISA warrant on a suspicious character. It did NOT start the probe. You should wonder about why TRUMP AND 16 OF HIS ASSOCIATES LIED ABOUT THEIR RUSSIAN CONTACTS. Russia, not France, not Mexico. Russia. The country that attacked our election to help Trump win. Common sense, please.

  4434. It is time to legalize marijuana on the federal level. Bernie Sanders said he would have done it by executive order. Joe Biden should pledge to do the same. - It would be lots of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. Money going into the treasury instead of going into the Mexican black market. - We import tons of crappy weed from Mexico, where they spray it with pesticides banned in the US due to their toxicity. We could export some of the best buds in the world. - It would free up space in the prisons and jails, and free up resources in the police department. - Growers and retailers could put their money in the bank. - Work absenteeism costs billions a year. Marijuana is a great, natural sleep aid. When weed is accessible, drinkers drink less. They toke up and fall asleep instead of continuing to drink, staying up, and waking up hungover and sleep deprived. - Marijuana treats a variety of ailments such as cancer, migraines, and chronic stress. - The food industry, hard hit by COVID 19, would boom. - Weed makes dumb sitcoms funny. - Marijuana is perfectly legal in North Korea. Do we want to be less free and progressive than North Korea?

  4435. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  4436. "I'm the least racist person... Nobody respects women more than me... I had the opposite of a feud with the CIA... (Everything Trump does) is the (whatever)est in history..! (Any deal he doesn't like) is the worst in history!" If news is good for Trump, he calls it great. And when it's bad, he STILL calls it great! He lies to rooms full of people who can, and do, pull out their phones and fact-check him on the spot! People should realize, he doesn't care about being proven wrong. The goal isn't to convince us all. It is to reinforce the beliefs of his base that they already hold. All that stuff about investigating Clinton and the FBI isn't designed to convict them of crimes. They know they won't. It is to cast doubt on the left, the justice system, and the media. It is dangerous and degrading to our institutions.

  4444. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  4445. Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent. She just had too much baggage.

  4448. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  4463. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  4464. Who Cares - Yeah, what the president who benefitted from Russia's meddling thinks about Russia isn't important. Surely not when he is headed to Russia in a few days. Especially when we have another election coming up soon. Idiot, the press is SUPPOSED TO COVER WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS!

They should want the habitual liar who screwed-up the pandemic response and incited a insurrection to get back out there and lie to everyone some more?? They should want to have to constantly debunk his BS claims instead of having substantive arguments about how to best govern the country?? We want him to incite another riot?? That's the problem - For Republicans it's all about politics, GETTING and KEEPING the job, with no interest in DOING the job once they have it. You think CNN is an arm of the Democratic party? Did you complain when Donald Trump was COORDINATING with FOX News? There are ways to contest an election, and Trump exhausted ALL of them. He lost. Maybe next time he shouldn't alienate half of the country, insult us and expect our vote. Maybe he shouldn't lie more often than he urinates. Maybe he shouldn't have lied about the pandemic and made it about himself. Being President is about managing the COUNTRY, not their own, personal glory.

He would have lost badly to Trump, who would have finished killing off this country if he had gotten another term.

Then, he hired that Atlas fool to push a herd immunity strategy - which is basically doing nothing. Atlas was saying we should "separate the high risk individuals" but made no plan to do so. So, basically, he advocated simply ignoring the disease.

  4478. Trump is basically saying he doesn't think we'll be over COVID by November. Why is it safe to open schools now, but not the polls in November? If election security is compromised because of a prolonged pandemic, why is he not calling for a plan to fix the problems? Why is he unconcerned about foreign interference? Shouldn't he call for Republicans to pass the election security bills they keep rejecting? He wants $2 billion in the stimulus bill to keep the DC FBI building in Washington, so competition with his hotel won't move in. Why not call for funds to secure absentee voting since he thinks it's so corrupt? If he thinks the pandemic will be around for so long, why isn't he acting like it? Mail-in voting IS absentee voting. The reason for being absent IS THE PANDEMIC. So, deal with the pandemic! Trump has already raised the possibility of a contested election result being litigated in court "frankly, for years." It's not a joke. He has given EVERY INDICATION that he will say the election was rigged if he loses. He did it last time WHEN HE WON! Trump followers need to wake up. I'm so sick of this crap where they ignore threats to our democracy just because they favor their side. They know damn well they would be outraged if the president was a Democrat.

Comet Pizza was running a left-wing child sex ring out of a basement...(By the way, that place doesn't even have a basement). Actually, Biden has been made several appearances and statements lately, and unlike Trump, he has done so while considering the safety issues surrounding the pandemic.

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  4497. leafytube - The stock market started rising way before Trump took office. Look at a graph. But that's actually surprising to me. I expected it to do well. Know why? Because he is gutting Wall Street regulations put in place after 2008 designed to prevent another crash. And Trump said Clinton was too cozy with Wall Street! Take a look at the backgrounds of his cabinet members. Wall Street is highly represented.... The unemployment rate has dropped very little under Trump. It was cut IN HALF, from around 10% to around 5%, where it is now, under Obama....... Trump had little to do with decimating ISIS. The invasion of Raqqa was planned during the Obama administration. Mosul was planned and executed under Obama, and Trump wouldn't shut up about how they shouldn't have announced it first. You know, he "knows more than the generals", and seems to think the Iraqi and US forces are ninjas. You can't sneak in, for many reasons. By the way, Trump ceded a lot of the decision making to the military commanders. He is less involved in military affairs than Obama...... And how the hell is nominating a Supreme Court Justice such a big accomplishment? Trump doesn't know a thing about the judiciary. He picked a name from a list! A list made by a far right group. Republicans blocked Obama's nominee for a year with a bullshit excuse. It would have been much harder for Trump to NOT nominate a Justice! Remember Trumpers - You are entitled to your own crazy fantasies. You are not entitled to your own facts, no matter what Kellyanne Conway says. Thanks, Obama! Props to the Generals!....... But I will give him credit for dropping the illegal immigration rate, (although he is being a major dick about it), so why do we need a fucking wall?

  4505. Republicans censured Liz Cheney for voting to impeach Trump. They basically said that, even though House Republicans were being asked to vote one of two ways, they had to vote one way or else they'd be in trouble. Is there anything less democratic than that? That's what they do in Russia and North Korea. They have elections, but voters have to vote one way or else. Do Republicans really not understand that?

  4506. Trump echoed the demands of terrorists who wanted to kidnap the Governor of Michigan, but when he wanted to talk members of a local election board into refusing to certify the vote, he said he called to offer support after they'd received death threats.

  4507. Trump takes seriously "what a lot of people are talking about." What "people are talking about" to him is largely what he reads on Twitter. He blocks those who disagree with him, and they talk about what he puts out there. That's a hell of a feedback loop! He can promote a conspiracy theory on Twitter. The Twitterverse talks about it. FOX News and Russian trolls talk about it. Then, it must have validity because "a lot of people are saying." It's ironic that the MAGA crowd goes on and on about brainwashing, bias, lying, and propaganda. It's projection on steroids.

  4509. BLM is protesting a REAL injustice. They feel they have no other recourse because the police departments and the courts have been failing them REPEATEDLY. Neither BLM nor any politicians called upon them to riot, and despite the talking points, those who crossed the line from protest to riot were pursued by law enforcement. 93% of the protests have been peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% did not riot. And the idea that they're all Democrats or even the type of people who know anything about politics is absurd. Does anyone think those thugs were looting merchandise, then meeting up later at Starbucks to discuss the topics on Meet the Press? The Trump mob was decidedly partisan, and acted on a LIE. Besides many recounts, audits and investigations, the courts ruled on the matter. When the mob attacked, they interrupted senators doing exactly what they wanted - objecting to the certification! Pence literally could not unilaterally stop certification. For Trump to say that he could was an outright LIE, and he did call upon them to riot. The MAGA crowd refuses to see the difference because they simply refuse to accept the truth. I post often on these comment boards, and NOT ONE person has been able to tell me just how this supposed fraud was carried out. Not one. If they'd simply learn how voting machines work and how elections are tallied, they would see how irrational and ridiculous their conspiracy theories are.

If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

  4516. Neil Rosenblum That's what I've wondered for years. "Why not just pay your taxes? You're rich, and it's a minor percentage of a lot of wealth." Plus, those are the people who can afford lawyers and lobbyists that make it to where the rich pay a LOWER percentage than the poor and middle class. I thought maybe it had to do with the competitive disadvantage and every dollar counts, but then that falls within the margin of what they keep rathet than parlaying it back into the business. It must be just greed, or sport, as many very rich people see money as a number - a score.

  4517. YouTube Deleted my Other Account for Mean Comments - How convenient to be ignorant, huh? This is about a 15 year scheme of pattern and practice. This isn't just about a few cars or an apartment. The Trump Organization kept TWO SETS OF BOOKS, the shady one marked "red flags." It's pretty obvious to see that Trump accepts no boundaries, and never does anything halfway. I'm sure that includes corruption.

  4518. - The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 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?" With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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 strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 6 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 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 involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail. - 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. - 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform the public of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them.

  4519. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder, Glen Simpson, testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Jarred Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo for dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

Because he was rich - among many rich people - but had the kind of ego that drove him to publicize it all the time?? SO?? How did that in any way qualify him to run the country?? This country is full of IDIOTS! A President should have experience in government, leadership skills, communication and problem solving skills. Being famous is not a qualification!!

  4543. House Dems should at least start an impeachment INQUIRY. Then, they get the documents and testimony that Trump refuses to turn over. Dems should put the election stuff on hold for a while. It's still early. There may not be enough Republican votes in the Senate to remove Trump right now, but there are 20 ongoing probes, into his charity, his inaugural committee, and his tax, banking, emoluments, and business practices. His kids could have state criminal exposure he can't pardon away. Dems want to beat a wounded Trump at the ballot box, but that's a long time from now, and in that time, Republicans might decide to primary him. They'll want to get rid of him for the same reason they support him now - to hold onto power. Dems must SIEZE THE NARRATIVE that Trump and Barr took control of when they declared, "No collusion. Case closed". No, it's not closed. Mueller said that Barr mischaracterized his report. Mueller needs to testify. I think he knew he might have to do that when he took the job of Special Council. There WAS COLLUSION. As Giuliani said, "collusion is not a crime". Mueller didn't find enough evidence to charge criminal CONSPIRACY. Mueller also clearly outlined 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice. He couldn't indict a sitting President, so he left it to Congress. Over 800 former federal prosecutors signed a document saying that if Trump wasn't President, he would be charged with Obstruction. (Did 800 prosecutors say that Hillary Clinton would have been criminally charged for her private server? No. That's why Comey said that, while she was reckless, "no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges". And by the way, Trump, Kushner, and Ivanka have done worse than Hillary with regard to being careless with classified information and using improper channels...a LOT worse). Just wait, Trumpers. We haven't heard the end of the Hope Hicks, Michael Flynn, and Rick Gates stories. They have all been cooperating. If Trump has nothing to hide, why is he stonewalling and acting squirrelly? Use common sense. Your boy is a crook, and you were conned.

  4549. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  4550. Trump supporters, WAKE UP! He just pardoned the ranchers whose crimes led directly to a militia-backed armed takeover of a wildlife refuge. Gee, why do you think he did that? Remember Trump's "2nd Amendment people" remark during his campaign? When he endorsed police brutality? "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll defend you in court"? The nerve to say Maxine Waters incited violence! Trump would start a nuclear fucking war if he thought it would end the Russia probe. He has no lower limits. He understands nothing! You think he's smart?? HE WENT TO YALE, BUT CAN'T SPELL "THEY'RE" AND THINKS CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF A WORD SHOWS EMPHASIS. ALL CAPS IS HOW YOU DO THAT. He is an habitual liar! He constantly refers to "ratings" and "reviews" because he sees his job as that of a reality show host. HE IS A DANGER TO THIS COUNTRY!

  4555. Why is it we usually only hear about masks and distance? I think people thoughtlessly just go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others, especially before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is like being close. Elevators and city busses must be major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. People attend events in cars, but how many end up at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Plus, it thins the crowds. Are people aware of touching their eyes after taking off their shoes, after possibly stepping on virus-infected floors where droplets have fallen? The more the virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Practice safe sex. Wear a mask.

  4564. What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? : The "shithole" comment. Saying he didn't want blacks to count his money, but wanted Jews to count it. Calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He repeatedly refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to black people. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. Think about it - He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive to many, HE REPEATS THEM! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! He shouldn't even have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader?? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is the PERCEPTION. These are fair criticisms. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a BIGOT WHO PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is OBVIOUS!

(Of course, not bad enough to keep schools closed now). He says whatever suits his interests, regardless of the facts.

  4567. As of now, the DOJ is sending a message that it's perfectly okay for a presidential campaign to meet with foreign governments to trade stolen information for favors, and that it's just fine to ask them to hack emails. That there is nothing wrong with having dirty tricksters reach out to foreign hackers and disseminators. They say they don't want to talk about the wrongdoing of people who aren't indicted, but that didn't apply when Comey said that Clinton was irresponsible with her email server. And Trump defenders think the FBI is on the side of the DNC??

It's so hypocritical for Trump loyalists to say, with NO probable cause or proof, that "Clinton sold uranium to Russia...Clinton colluded with Russia...The Clintons ran a hit squad...Strzok and Page were part of a deep state conspiracy..," yet when there is real suspicion surrounding Trump, and when he and 16 of his people were caught LYING about 140 Russian contacts, it's not only NOT cause for suspicion, but it's TREASON to investigate it! WHAT?!? There is no deep state conspiracy. If you think the DNC, the media, the FBI and the CIA are somehow in cahoots to take down Trump, you are hopelessly ignorant.

  4575. Because of the expansion of the universe, most galaxies are moving away from all of the others, the exceptions being like the Milky Way and Andromeda, which are on a collision course because the mutual pull of gravity and/or speed are stronger than the expansion. It's the same reason that stars within the same galaxies are not moving away from each other. Gravity is stronger. Assuming the dark energy behind the expansion will remain constant, (or become stronger), we're headed for eventual heat death, the "big freeze." But there are alternate theories about a "big crunch," where dark energy will not be strong enough in the future to overcome the total gravity, and everything will fall back together. The Milky Way is falling into Andromeda, but space itself isn't contracting. We're still moving THROUGH space towards each other. So why does the big crunch theory seem to suggest that space/time itself would contract back toward the singularity? Wouldn't everything with gravitational attraction come back together, leaving space itself still "out there," like picking up a rug with marbles on it by the edges, and the rug remains the same size while the marbles roll together?

  4576. Remember, during the Clinton impeachment, when Republicans kept insisting that character matters? Remember when Howard Dean sunk his campaign by making a funny noise at a rally? Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  4578. That does it for me. We need term limits for Senators. When I heard what this fuckface said, my head almost exploded. Did the Democrats make 14 of Trump's people reach out to the Russians and then lie about it? Did Dems make Trump say, "Russia, if you're listening..." to a country that was attacking our election?? Are we NOT supposed to be suspicious when Trump's own son admits to meeting with the Russian government to trade dirt for sanction relief?? Did Dems make him cook the books to pay off women he still won't admit he fucked?? Holy shit, did Orin Hatch say shit like this when, after finding nothing on Clinton during Whitewater, the Republicans impeached him for lying about his sex life?? Hatch says we shouldn't care because this stuff happened before Trump was elected. It was WHILE HE WAS FUCKING RUNNING TO GET ELECTED!! Have you Trump cultists lost your fucking minds?? Help, I'm steppin' into the twilight zone!

  4580. Chris Forester - Every President since Nixon has shown their tax returns. It's a matter of showing good faith. Trump, especially, should show them because of his businesses and potential conflicts. He is OBVIOUSLY LYING about why he won't show them, and that's why you SHOULD want to see them. Common sense. Mueller has the right to see them because of the suspicion he has aroused - enough to get himself investigated by a Special Council. And don't even try to say "witch hunt". 16 of Trump's associates lied about their Russian contacts. You can't tell me you would think that was nothing if it was Obama. In the words of Nixon - "People deserve to know if their president is a crook".
    3
  4581. Chis Forester - Pelosi did Trump a favor by wanting that meeting to be private. Did you see how she handed him his ass? She wanted a serious discussion, not a PR stunt. It's laughable to even bring up transparency. That's what releasing tax returns is about. Did you know Trump removed the White House log book that shows who the President and White House staff are meeting with? Trump spends every chance he gets visiting his own resorts and hotels. It's practically open bribery. What happened to his kids running the business themselves? He said he wasn't going to divest because a blind trust "wouldn't go FAR ENOUGH". So, don't bother at all? No, that's not shady at all, is it? (smh). You want to talk about the Clinton Foundation? The Clintons released their taxes. Their charity has been audited. Unlike Trump's, theirs didn't have to be dissolved because the NY AG found a "shocking pattern of illegality". They didn't write a $25k check FROM THEIR CHARITY'S ACCOUNT to a Florida AG in charge of a lawsuit against their sham university. And I think it's Trump who needs the pacifier.

I suspect he looked into it, but realized he couldn't pull it off without getting caught, so he knows there was no conspiracy. His fraud was in telling the big lie and manipulating election officials and local legislators with carrots and sticks.

  4586.  @iant4060  - Try going to the cops and saying, "I think I'm going to be robbed next month." What do you think they'd tell you? Then go back the next month and claim that EVERYBODY robbed you in EVERY way possible and impossible, without any leads or suspects to go on. They'd laugh you out of the police station. CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  4587.  @iant4060  - Why should we trust the results of an "audit" run by amateurs who are biased and actively promote baseless conspiracy theories? It has not been transparent, and they have broken several rules to compromise the count. I haven't heard even one person lay out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together.

  4588.  @markflores40  - "Why isn't MSM talking about [insert right wing talking point]?" Probably for one or more of the following reasons: - It's an unverified claim. - It's an old story with no new developments. - There are other, more relevant stories. - There isn't enough content to justify a report. - You want to bait the media into prompting a subsequent talking point. - They did report it. - You don't care why. It's already been reported, as evident by your awareness of it, probably on FOX News, which is ALSO mainstream media. - It would only be newsworthy if your narrative was actually realistic. - You just want to call it biased and fake, or use pointless whataboutism.

  4589.  W.t. Bonsell  - You're basing your theory about 60 COURTS and the SCOTUS on what? In addition, the DOJ looked into it. Barr concluded it was BS. There were recounts and audits, CISA... didn't I go over this already? How do you explain that?

  4591. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  4594. Look at a graph. The low unemployment and even the stock market trends go way back into the Obama administration. I'm actually surprised the stock market isn't doing better than it is because Trump is working to de-regulate Wall Street. You know, gut the regulations put in place after 2008 to PREVENT ANOTHER CRASH. Trump had the nerve to recently say that if Clinton was president, the stock market would be going down. Uh, didn't he say she was TOO COZY with Wall Street? You Trump FOLLOWERS (like a cult) need to pull your heads out of your asses. Does anyone think Trump actually checks the facts and the numbers before he says/tweets about things doing well under his watch? Does he fact-check a news story he doesn't like before he calls it fake? He's going to say what he's going to say anyway. Why would he bother?

If she becomes the nominee, I want her to be in favor of legalization, and she can't do that if everyone is on her case about being hypocritical. If the Democrats don't claim the legalization issue soon, the Republicans will.

Instead of bussing, they should have, and still need to fund every school fairly and equally proportional to its size.

Currently serving staff/cabinet members with issues - Carson and Mnuchin. Kushner, Ivanka, and 32 others have serious security clearance problems. A member of Trump's legal team quit to avoid implication for potential Obstruction. McGahn threatened to quit when Trump tried to fire Mueller, then was forced out. Literally the most turnover of any POTUS in history. "All the best people", right?

  4622. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  4623. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  4636. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  4653. It's best if the US gives Ukraine every bit of support we can - but draw the line at US troop combat in Europe. If Putin crosses the line with NATO, maybe, but if any foreign nations' soldiers have to fight the Russian military directly, they should be European. Funny how proxy war goes. It's full of self-contradictions and nonsense. The fact remains that US troops fighting over there directly would create a lot more possibility for some really bad shit to happen. Plus, public opinion in the US would not overwhelming favor it - especially after things go bad. Then, majority public opinion would be "Why did we get involved again in a war between two bordering countries across the ocean?"

The pandemic is literally worse than ever in this country. So, how are the lockdowns destroying us? By Trump's own admission, lockdowns are saving lives.

  4658. Trump supporters will still defend this indefensible shit. Unbelievable.

  4659. Trump opposes all school, church, and business closures. He had social distance stickers removed from seats at indoor rallies. He breaks local laws limiting crowd sizes at rallies. He killed a CDC mask mandate for public transportation. He refuses to contact trace the White House. He's been unsuccessful at brokering a stimulus package. He suppresses CDC data. He contradicts his own medical scientists. He lied about the severity of the pandemic. He ridicules people for wearing masks. ARE THERE ANY MEASURES HE ACTUALLY FAVORS?? But he limited flights from China, so I guess he's "crushing the China virus," right? What exactly is he doing to claim credit for ending this pandemic?

  4665. Trump has never been able to name any of these other ways, even as he demands the funding for it be appropriated immediately. We're not going to be reimbursed for $25 BILLION with a fucking Western Union tax. And if somehow that could happen, you would be a fool to believe it would wind up going to the reimbursement anyway. With a new $1.5 TRILLION deficit because of the new tax law? You Trump supporters are SO FUCKING STUPID!

  4669.  @october71777  Bush and Cheney tried to export democracy to Iraq. They tried to get Iraq to import it. It didn't work very well. We basically gave Iraq to the long oppressed Shiites, who promptly took revenge on the Sunnis, and started acting just as brutal as Saddam Hudsein. The Sunnis embraced ISIS for protection from the Shiite militias. The Sunnis then took over Mosul, and started slaughtering people. Iraq may have elections now, but it's unstable and full of corruption. Now, it's Iran that's taking advantage of their instbility. That exporting democracy thing was really just cover for Bush, the Texas oil man, and Cheney, who had run Halliburton, to get a bunch of no-bid contracts in Iraq. Cheney's Halliburton robbed the government blind. Who was right in the end? Those who opposed the war. But the blame should be on the Bush Administratio, the politicians who supported them - mostly Republicans, but many Democrats, too - and the CIA, lead by George Tenet, who assured Bush that finding WMD was a "slam dunk" when the intelligence was not that good. The CIA doesn't speak in absolutes, only chances. Bush turned around and told the public that the intelligence was solid when it wasn't. To blame the media is ridiculous. They are just the messengers.

  4670. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to "avoid panic." Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but it's okay to let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced back to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off our guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what we want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's a Republican, even if he's an habitual liar. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. We support the middle class. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  4674. Funny how Trump, the businessman, "knows all about 'rats' and 'flippers'"... but also was supposedly never a part of anything like that. He also said, as President, about impeachment, "I guess it says something about high crimes", as if he is so unconcerned about being impeached that he hasn't even Googled it or asked anyone. Never mind that anyone who made it past 9th grade knows that it's high crimes and misdemeanors. So, he knows nothing about basic presidential stuff that he should know, and knows all about gangster stuff he shouldn't. What a "straight talker". Straight talking isn't honesty. Ask a Trump fan about his honesty, and they'll look for reasonable doubt about each lie. What about his SINCERITY?

  4675. I'm pretty liberal, but the Dems went way too far with unemployment. It didn't cover temp workers or those who exhausted their benefits or never applied. They gave them too much. Maybe $300 extra - with the stipulation that they HAD TO go back if their job re-opened. But $600 a week without that stipulation is ridiculous.

Call the White House, run it by him, and ask permission. Don Don will get an erection and say, "Yes! But don't go into detail. No analysis - about how his border control policies involve separating families, how his SCOTUS picks were just picking names from lists compiled by far-right groups, and how he inherited a good economy. It will be about four minutes of shameless praise that would make Kim Jong Un blush. Then, call him back and say, "Careful what you wish for, doucheface."

  4680. What ever happened to Trump saying he meant to say "I meant to say I don't see why it WOULDN'T" have been Russia who interfered in 2016? That was an obvious, bald-faced lie, but you'd think that would be his official position after that. Nope. Yesterday, Trump said he didn't believe US INTELLIGENCE, (as well as common sense), that said they were. McConnell is blocking election security bills. President "It's rigged AGAINST me" Trump is going to do all he can to cheat in the next election, and making a loyalist the next DNI is part of that plan.

  4682. What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? He told 4 US Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country for DOING THEIR JOBS. He made that "shithole" comment. He said he wants Jews, not blacks, to count his money. He called Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to blacks. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racist advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims from the country. He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive, he REPEATS THEM. Why does he keep going there? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. He shouldn't have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader? This isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's. It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses?

  4685. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  4695. And Trump actually said he doesn't care about that because "many people agree with me". I'm surprised he said there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville, because he doesn't see the PROTESTERS as good people. He truly doesn't give a shit about you if you didn't vote for him, and he said so much in that now infamous tweet the other day.

  4699. Alex M - He also saud, "FOX is gone!" and said The Atlantic "probably wasn't going to be around much longer." Those are his pathetic attempts to threaten them. We can be sure he will try to get rid of The Atlantic. 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.

Democrats lose about half of all elections, and most liberals weren't thrilled about Hillary. We can't get over an election? We're "butthurt"? YOU idiots need to get over it. It's not about who lost. It's about who won. An inept, inexperienced, extremist, habitually lying, USEFUL IDIOT, useful to domestic special interests as well as Vladimir Putin.

  4709. For these protests to work, you need to get through to white people. Not white hyper-racists. You can't change them. I mean those who DON'T KNOW THEY'RE RACIST. They don't listen when you say "Black Lives Matter." They don't hear, "black lives matter, TOO." They hear, "black," and think you're calling them racist. They think, "I'M not racist! YOU'RE racist! What about white lives?" Attacking what a white Southerner PERCEIVES as Southern heritage will only send him into the arms of Trump and Hannity. You have to get past their defenses. They have to identify with you. Yes, police brutalize blacks much more than whites, but a better way to approach it is to make them understand that they can be brutalized, too. Focus on the brutality, regardless of race. I DON'T mean ignore racial anti-bias training, but it doesn't help to overemphasize it. We should demand an immediate end to police brutality, but demanding an immediate end to all racism is futile and SELF-DEFEATING. BLM is bad at messaging. Drop the B in BLM. Those who know what it means don't need to be told, and those who don't won't listen. It's been shown that talking about "climate change" makes the deniers tune out. It's become a symbolic term in a culture war. But when you call it "pollution," more people listen. Same concept here.

  4710. Republicans stood accused of thwarting basic democracy. So what did they do? They told these Republican lawmakers, "You get a vote, but you must vote our way or else..." Democracy in action - they way they do it in Russia and North Korea. Way to go, fools.

  4715. So, on The First 48, or one of those reality crime shows, a detective is watching his partner interrogate a suspect in another room on a monitor. The suspect says something to incriminate himself. If the detective watching pumps his fist and says, "Yeah! We got that son of a bitch!", is that bias? Should they shut down the investigation? What about when they're at the cop bar after work? What do off-duty detectives talk about? What if you were spying the cops and listening for them to say things you can point to as bias? What if you had the legal power to obtain all of the cops' texts and emails? And you STILL can't find anything except the words "secret society" and "insurance policy" - not just taken out of context - but providing no context at all, only the suggestion that it sounds nefarious. It has a shady feel to it. WTF?? This is what Sean Hannity is having a hissy fit over? They're going the Mark Fuhrman route and trying to discredit the cops. But where Fuhrman was prejudiced against blacks, supposedly the FBI is prejudiced against... Republicans? No. Mueller, Rosenstein, McCabe, Comey, and Ray are all Republicans....just biased against Trump? Yeah. There's a whole deep state secret society out to get Trump because he's so sincere and he just keeps it too real. Do you Trumpers ever consider the possibility that Trump is trying to hide something here and knows he has broken the law? That just maybe this Russia investigation isn't just a good idea, but it is NECESSARY?

"Is that what the communist (but somehow also 'corporate') media told you, you biased, brainwashed sheep?" (As they engage in rabid confirmation bias based on what Sean Hannity says on his show).

  4743.  @ti2218  Exactly. And FOX News has no real competition like the other major outlets do. Even OANN and Newsmax can't really compete. FOX News presents itself as conservative media, but really it's ALTERNATIVE media. They moved to the right of MSM and tell their viewers that MSM moved to the left. Actually, FOX News is a mainstream media outlet. It kills me how conservatives try to say the liberal media is run by the DNC. Those outlets have waay more wealth and power than the DNC, which is nothing but a sort of management company run by politicians who can't get elected to office. Hillary Clinton had to bail them out of debt just to run for President in 2016.

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.

  4747. What's your evidence that Biden is somehow in cahoots with the Chinese? Oh, I get it. China is communist. Republicans decided to baselessly label Dems as communist. Therefore, Biden does bad things with China, right?

  4748. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the 2016 campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, WHY WOULD THEY? That was an acknowledgment that there is NO REASON for candidates to be messing around with foreigners in an election. Turned out, 16 Trump campaign staffers lied about 140 Russian contacts.

  4749. Mike Pensuaco - Yeah, or maybe a superhero! No, we need to fix our own society. Don't the Christians say "Heaven helps those who help themselves"? God did his job by giving us the ability to solve problems. We're just not doing it.

  4752. As Trump said, collusion is not a crime. Collusion is cooperation. Did Trump and his people cooperate with the Russian government? Absolutely. Volume 1 of the report is a detail of that cooperation. Mueller did not, as Trump insists, make a finding of "no collusion". Mueller did NOT say that, which means Trump is deliberately LYING. He found insufficient evidence to charge the CRIME of CONSPIRACY. He did NOT say there was no wrongdoing. He had insufficient evidence to prove INTENT. He couldn't prove that Trump and his people knew what they were doing WAS WRONG. Volume 2 details 10 instances of OBSTRUCTION. Mueller COULD NOT charge Trump with that crime because he wasn't permitted to charge a sitting president. He DID say, however, that it was a POLITICAL matter, not a LEGAL one. That's for Congress to pursue. If Congress finds enough evidence of high crimes, (Obstruction), and misdemeanors, (serious wrongdoing), the remedy would be IMPEACHMENT in the House, and REMOVAL by the Senate. Mueller CLEARLY stated that he could NOT clear Trump of obstruction. He did not say that about conspiracy. Trump is LYING when he says Mueller exonerated him. (And he can't have it both ways. If Mueller is illegitimate, how can the "exoneration" be legitimate?) Mueller didn't feel a conspiracy case could get a conviction in court. Case closed. That doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing or no collusion. It certainly does NOT mean that the investigation was illegal, treasonous, or a political witch hunt. There was OBVIOUSLY probable cause. Mueller obviously felt that an obstruction case could get a conviction in court, (Over 1000 former federal prosecutors attest to that), BUT he wasn't allowed to bring such a case. He won't explicitly say that because DOJ rules also say he can't give his opinion about persons not indicted, meaning Donald Trump. That's the mistake Comey made with Clinton, (which, by the way, HELPED Trump win. Look at the thanks he got). Democrats and, (if there are any), decent Republicans in Congress need to do their required oversight, ie., start the impeachment inquiry that Mueller has given them PROBABLE CAUSE for. I wish he would be more vocal, but Mueller has done all he can legally do. Democrats should grow balls and stop worrying about that damn election. It's almost a year and a half away. Deal with the lying, inept criminal who is in office NOW!

  4753. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  4757. A big reason the US can't get a grip on this pandemic that nobody talks about is that we are too CONSUMER DRIVEN. Watch TV. The ads all tell us to "Get back out there and spend!" They have to. No business in its right mind would passively let itself go broke. So where are the PSAs? Where are the TV spots telling us to wash our hands and wear masks? Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?

  4758. Kip McEwen - They were firsthand witnesses to the scheme. Do you think they had to hear the original order straight from Trump's mouth? Well, Mulvaney did, and he said there "was a quid pro quo. Get over it". So, you're saying there was no quid pro quo, and Trump held up the aid for...other reasons? That doesn't fly either, because Trump, himself, said he was holding up the aid until he was sure the Ukrainians weren't being crooked. Then, the only example of this "corruption" he gave was with Hunter Biden and the 2016 election. Why doesn't he want these "firsthand" witnesses to testify, anyway? Common sense. Use it.

  4763. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words. He uses the words, "nationalism" and "alien" for a reason. He could clearly use other words. Let's assume for a moment that Trump is not a race-baiter. The racial hate groups, ALL of which are on the right, insist he supports them. Whether he does or not, that is the MESSAGE they get, and Trump sure seems more than happy to let that continue. Save your whataboutism. I'm no fan of Antifa, it isn't a racial hate group, and the best whataboutism can do is to assert that two wrongs make a right. You Trump followers KNOW what he is doing, and you're fine with it as long as your side is winning. Just wait until all of Trump's bullshit hits home. By the way, it's the height of hypocrisy to say Obama ruined the country with nuclear deals and national debt, then turn around and say, "How has Trump affected you directly?" Trump has the deficit into the trillions to give tax cuts to the 1%. He is screwing with the environment, health care, threatening eminent domain siezures along the border, flirting with nuclear conflict... It's simply the politics of division and fear, and you people eat it, hook line, and sinker. Wake up.

  4764. Even not deciding is a decision. In every moment we are deciding to NOT do everything possible. There are trillions of atoms in a fingernail. Think of all of the possibilites in simply deciding to move a finger, all of the quadrillions of quadrillions of positions in space you could move one finger. Are they really saying there are worlds where I, for no logical reason, would just decide to get up and walk around the room? To spontaneously start singing the Star Spangled Banner? To scratch my knee if it isn't even itching? One where I scratch the spot right above that? Every point on my knee? Scratch my knee while singing the Star Spangled Banner..? This thoery is wrong.

  4765.  @theheretic3764  No, it wasn't planned for some time, and there was a lot he could have done. Do you even know what a Senator does? Availability during a life-threatening emergency is necessary, even if he had nothing to do, which is not true.
    2
  4766.  @theheretic3764  Again, it was not pre-planned. Try to comprehend this: There was a major unfrastructure failure in Texas that left millions needing food, electricity, water, health care...an infrastructure failure that affected EVERYTHING basic in life. How much time do you think a Senator works on a day when there isn't a crisis? He went on vacation. Never mind basic empathy and optics, and how what he did was a HUGE no-no in politics. EVERYTHING needs attention in Texas. Senators are point-people for power, water, sanitation, emergency, health care...services all part of critical infrastructure that is broken in ways that aren't even clear yet. You obviously have NO IDEA what these people do.
    2
  4767.  @theheretic3764  Authorities were warned and concerns were raised about the possibility of this "freak storm". No, Texas was not used to it and there was a low probability of it, but that doesn't excuse the Governor and some Mayors deflecting blame to false causes for the infrastructure failure.
    2
  4768.  @theheretic3764  How is that not empathetic? Flying to a warm resort after telling Texans to "just stay home" without power? Do you know what empathy means? Senators are involved in infrastructure. If a company wants a state level contract, they access the Governor and the two Senators. Cruz could have dealt with FEMA, Congress, the Governor, equipment suppliers, secured relief funds, Covid mitigation, sanitation, hardware, water treatment, sewer, health care, fire departments, EMS, police, charities, communications, food distribution... There was more to learn about the situation than there are hours in the day to learn it. The Governor has been working non-stop. Many Senators would have handed out bottled water or talked to residents just for the photo op. At the VERY LEAST, he could have simply refrained from going to a resort. He'd have done better to go skiing to at least seem kind of empathetic to those who were freezing! He had the police escort his family through the airport as if they didn't have their hands full. His explanation was deceptive. He said he was escorting his kids and going right home. Why the BS if he did nothing wrong? Now, he admits he made a mistake. By the way, Cruz called the Mayor of Austin a hypocrite for going to Cabo in December during the pandemic. He's being criticized because what he did isn't normal. Bush caught hell for just flying over Louisiana after hurricane Katrina. If it was New York and Schumer or Illinois when Obama was a Senator, what would you think? Just because you ignore the answer doesn't mean I didn't answer your questions. You should learn something about the subject before you spew BS.
    2
  4769.  @theheretic3764  You don't know what police do, either? What's more important during a winter emergency? Emergency services or escorting Ted Cruz through the airport on his way to a resort in Cancun?

  4772. McK - Is that how things work? If you really, really, really look? If there was cheating, thus is how it would be exposed in a normal world: If the President suspected cheating before the election, he would either know how it was going to be done or have a good idea. He wouldn't publicly tell everyone that the system in the country he leads is rigged. He would go to the head of election security with those concerns. Then, he would simply run his campaign. If he lost and suspected cheating, he still wouldn't first tell the public that half the country from the candidate on down to individual voters were all in on a massive scam. He would go back to his election security chief. If CISA told him there was no cheating, THAT'S THE END OF IT. He might ask for a recount WHERE HE HAS VALID REASON to think something was off. If the recount came up the same, THAT'S THE END OF IT. Trump constantly accused EVERY DEMOCRAT of being part of a big, nebulous scheme, then FIRED the head of CISA who gave him the GOOD news that the election in the country he leads was secure! THINK!!

We know that the tax information that did leak showed that he LOST more money than any other American.

  4782. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.
    2
  4783. Frankie Russell - You're half right. Actually, you're about 40% right - that's Trump's approval rating - well, I'm rounding up - but my point is we're not all in that basketbof deplorables.

  4784. I was thinking, this Russian social media troll thing might backfire on Trump. It exaggerates how much support he really has. It's a feedback loop. Russians can't vote here, so Putin will have to help him again. But we're on to that now.

He lies more and more. Republican lawmakers may back him publicly, but they curse him in private, and many want their shot at challenging him in a primary for the sake of the party keeping power. The economy won't stay the same, whether it has anything to do with him or not. Our foreign enemies will pull some crap, knowing the window is closing for them to take advantage of his gullability. Enough will be enough for more and more people as he continues to be crude, offensive, and racist. His base may agree with him, but they'll still be wishing he'll just keep his mouth shut and stop giving liberals ammo. Exhaustion sets in. I don't care if you love The Apprentice, could you watch it every day for 4 years? 17 probes will be making news every other day. His base might just want to see those tax returns after all. He can't say every year is under eternal audit forever. And then, there's the Russia probe.

  4803. Rap Wolf - In 2000, GW Bush lost the popular vote, and it came down to a state where his brother was governor. But he came into office with a 62% approval rating. Democrats lose about half of all elections. It wasn't the first time. It has nothing to do with Clinton.

  4807. The deep state is made up of only Democrats, even in non-political agencies like the FBI and CIA. Half of them registered as Republicans years ago to go undetected. The deep state is all-powerful, but they let Republicans win elections half the time, so as not to arouse suspicion. They wanted Hillary to succeed Obama in 2016. They didn't think they'd have to do anything but let her run and win. But the deep state didn't count on Donald Trump. Even though Clinton had a 94% chance, they had an "insurance policy". If she lost, they were ready to activate operatives in the FBI, CIA, DNI, DHS, NSA, the White House, the liberal media in the US and Europe, Facebook, military intelligence, Australian intelligence, British intelligence, private digital forensics firms, and about a dozen other agencies. They forged reports, intelligence intercepts, and wire transfers, careful not to arouse the suspicion of Republicans around them. Even though these agencies weren't allowed to ask what their employees' personal party affiliation was, they found out which ones were Democrats. And if they were Democrats, they were loyal to the deep state. Here was the plan: Even though it might cause Clinton to lose, they leaked all of the DNC's emails. Why? So that, even with a 6% chance, if Trump won, the deep state could frame Trump for colluding with Russia to make him look illegitimate. They paid an opposition research firm to compile a fake dossier full of dirt on Trump, but they didn't use it during the campaign. Why not? I don't know. But they know why. They even got the head of the FBI to reopen Clinton's prior email scandal investigation right before the election. Why? Again, they know why. Good thing they did all of that, because Trump won! Now, all they had to do was to publicly link Trump to Russia with sham probes based on their fake intelligence. In a strange twist of fate, it turns out that 16 members of the Trump campaign had many undisclosed meetings with surrogates of the Russian government that they lied about. One involved three of them meeting with the Russians to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief, but even though Trump was reaching out to Russia and Russia was reaching out to them, everything on both ends was legitimate. That was all just a big coincidence. DO YOU PEOPLE HEAR YOURSELVES WHEN YOU SAY THIS SHIT??

  4808. Guthrik - And Kushner is a slumlord there. Duh. This isn't even about Baltimore. It's about the slum conditions at border detention centers. Cummings called out the head of DHS over that, so Trump attacked the place represents. Are you people that stupid? Do you think Trump is trying to help urban communities? He's a US PRESIDENT who constantly trashes US cities. Urban blight has NOTHNG to do with partisan politics. To say Dems caused it is fucking absurd. But a slumlord directly responsible for it is something else.

Well, consider the sources. The PRODUCTS the news is selling are facts. They COMPETE with other networks to sell us the most accurate facts the fastest. Advertisers serve companies who COMPETE with others in their business. Most companies aren't set up for home delivery, so they need you to "get back out there!" It's why Amazon is thriving, restaurants and bars are barely surviving, and we get mixed messages. No wonder the most consumer-driven country in the world is handling the pandemic so poorly.

  4816. 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.

I don't know why any of our presidents bend over backwards for them, but Trump takes it to a whole new level by flat-out saying, "but we want the money". It's disgusting. He is advertising to the whole world that money trumps morals and security. He is telling the whole world that he doesn't trust the CIA. Just wait until the next military conflict when our enemies say, "But you guys said your own intelligence sucks". Do you not get the gravity of the situation? A US permanent resident and journalist for an iconic American news outlet was lured out and killed by an oppressive regime that doesn't allow free press, and our president doesn't give two shits.

  4820.  @robinsss  Wrong. The birther movement was not started by Democrats. That's yet another lie that the HABITUALLY LYING president put out there. Even if it was, would that make it okay?? Christ, you morons' entire argument for everything is projection and whataboutism. Those TWO things you are talking about are only a fraction of the racist, bigoted rhetoric from Trump. Try to understand this - He is the PRESIDENT of the WHOLE UNITED STATES. NOT OF ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM. If anything he says EVEN SEEMS racially offensive to most minorities, YOU STOP SAYING IT. YOU DON'T DOUBLE DOWN! Trump is fucking disgusting. So, just wait until these investigations catch u p with him. You fucks will be defending his tax evasion, his charity fraud, and YES, the Russia thing is about to be front and centet again. Just wait, assholes.
    2
  4821. 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.

  4825. Somebody tell Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity that they, TOO, are members of the media. And somebody tell Beck that the show he was on is a weekly critique of the media. Talk about barking up the wrong tree.

  4826. Just checking... Yup, top comment. Melania walked right into that one. I'm sure parents of kids who were bullied into suicide appreciate that. Like rape victims appreciate her husbands disgusting rhetoric.

  4829. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

  4832. 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.

  4833. jarome schin - No, their polls did not say Clinton would win. Learn what a poll is. The Mueller probe absolutely did find collusion. Learn what collusion means.

  4835. Fuck off.

  4836. Oi Do Not Consent - It's the crime RATE. Duh.
    2
  4837. "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
  4838. I'm sure they had it there to see him and hear him speak.

  4839. It should at least be tax-deductable for those affected.

  4840. Within about a week's time, Donald Trump mocked a former FBI lawyer he'd been bad-mouthing for 2 years by making sex noises, verbally attacked a 16-year-old girl who is only fighting for a clean environment, and suggested that a grieving widow's deceased husband was in hell. That last one was also full of lies. He railed against keeping flags at half staff for John McCain. He attacked a Muslim, gold star mother. He mocked a handicapped journalist. These were all because those people dared to oppose him in the slightest ways. Need I explain why we, on the left, have concerns about that petty, vindictive jackass being leader of the free world?
    2
  4841. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to "avoid panic." Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but it's okay to let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced back to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off our guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what we want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's a Republican, even if he's an habitual liar. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. We support the middle class. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  4846. Trump didn't know Great Britain had the bomb. He thought we could nuke hurricanes. He thought you could shine a flashlight up your butt and kill COVID 19. He didn't know Finland wasn't part of Russia. He thought Republicans didn't know Lincoln was a Republican...THIS MAN GOT ELECTED PRESIDENT??

  4847. rick hale - But nothing suspicipus about Trump and Russia, right?
    2
  4848. I still don't get why it was so bad. The c-word specifically? Is it... sexist? They're not going to say Bill Maher can't call Trump a whiney little bitch now, are they? I say, cunt and bitch aren't sexist - they're gender specific. Let's draw the line at gender, at least when it isn't overtly mysoganistic (sp?). If I'm insulting a woman, I might call her a bitch, a man, an asshole. It sounds odd the other way around. Funny how this country is getting more vulgar and more sensitive at the same time.
    2
  4849. Okay, racist asshole, I haven't watched the video yet. Haven't seen the news yet, but my guess is that he got a light sentence because he gave Mueller something he could use.

  4850. BrookeMcLymond EXACTLY!!

  4851. After the crap from Trump and the Republicans that we've seen over the last 3 years, why would any Democratic voter trust that they'll be voting in a secure, fair election next year?

  4852. William H - Is this all you do all day? Troll news videos about politics you obviously know nothing about? You're dumb as hell, even by troll standards.
    2
  4853. Trump can't ever form a coherent sentence. This little press briefing was nothing but self-contradiction, vague rambling, and Trump, once again, describing the reality he wants to exist.
    2
  4854. @ZionistsUsingBlacks ToDestroyWhiteChristianCulture - You complain that the media are dishonest while defending an habitual liar like Trump. Apparently, honesty is not an issue for you. It's pure tribalism, which makes YOU incredibly biased. 24/7 huh? Okay, name some lies they've told. You can't. Your screen name already shows you're an uneducated troll.
    2
  4855. I literally have a hard time looking at him on TV. If I've already heard something he has said, I scan past it so I don't have to hear it again. It's like taking a cheese grater to my ears.
    2
  4856. CR RC - Exactly!
    2
  4857. Mortified Bruce - And what policies has he implemented that show it isn't just STILL a good economy. Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term. Short term.
    2
  4858. Philip Steele - No joke. Facts. Here are some jokes: What's the difference between a chick pea and a garbonzo bean? Trump never had a garbonzo bean on his face. Why is Melania always on top during sex? Because Donald only screws up.
    2
  4859. Anyone who can't see that Trump is hiding something that, if revealed, will look really bad for him is a fool.
    2
  4860. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.
    2
  4861. Can you imagine if Trump hadn't been so careless and loose-lipped (or loose-fingered on Twitter), and was actually a competent, likeable president? He could be getting away with murder.
    2
  4862. We're up to 9 Trump associates lying and/or omitting contacts on vetting forms. Unconfirmed reports say they have enough to charge Flynn and his son now. I know, Trump followers - You'll say "Oh, unconfirmed", then a few days later, they prove correct. Then you'll say it's part of Hillary's impossible mass conspiracy.
    2
  4863. Nathan Contorelli - Illegals? DACA - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. TPS - Temporary Protection Status. They signed up for programs we offered them. How would you like if the next president suddenly said having a stupid name like Nathan was illegal?

  4864. thomas costanza - Sunoco? What does that mean in Russian?

  4865. CNN does honest reporting, but it's the McDonalds of news. Watch Rachel Maddow, 9pm est, if you want in-depth analysis and stories the rest don't report. (I promise, I'm not a paid shill.)
    2
  4866. It will be hilarious when Trump's only option becomes asking Joe Biden for a pardon for his federal crimes.
    2
  4867. Yeah, it's no surprise. Trump feeds on the culture war between capitalism and socialism, the individual and the collective. There needs to be balance. Some things are better left to the free market, some things to the government, but Republicans use "socialism" as a fear-mongering tool to win elections. It's the boogyman they want you to believe is under your bed. They don't listen when you point out that there are exactly two Democratic Socialists in Congress, one of whom is Bernie Sanders, who was defeated by a centrist, Biden, who Republicans paradoxically call a "corporate shill", which would make him a capitalist.
    2
  4868. Trump bribed an AG in Florida with a check written on the Trump Foundation charity account to decline to move forward with a lawsuit of that sham university.
    2
  4869. Mueller is just dotting i's and crossing t's so Congress will have a solid case to impeach. Plus, every day that goes by, Trump implicates himself more and more.
    2
  4870. Brett Norman - When the Republicans elect someone who declares he wants to "tear down the administrative state," who builds a wall to keep out immigrants, who embraces the right wing populism of the last century, kills climate change regulations, ALL regulations he can, works to destroy the line between church and state, gives massive tax cuts to the richest, and demonizes anything not hyper-capitalist as socialism nearing communism, that's FAR RIGHT.
    2
  4871. Bart Bart - What Pelosi did was legal, but if that bothers you, then you should be appalled by Donald Trump.
    2
  4872. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. He has endorsed police brutality. He endorses violence against opponents at his rallies. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words.
    2
  4873. Side-Eye Warrior - I'd say it's a pretty relevant comparison, considering that it should have been Trump's time about 8000 lies ago, and your comment is about lying to the whole world causing massive embarrassment.
    2
  4874.  @harrymann5523  - Compelling argument. You realize he has a 63% approval rating, right? In this hyper-partisan political atmosphere, that's very high.
    2
  4875. JH14FAN - And if they get to be in charge of re-districting after the next census, it will only get easier for them.
    2
  4876. Classic conservatives should sue the current crop of MAGA deplorables for rights to the Republican name and the image of that elephant. The Trump wing has pretty much denounced all of its predecessors and everything they stood for. They might as well go all the way, denounce Ronald Reagan, change their name to the Orange Party and have a troll for a mascot.
    2
  4877. The_Memo - Wow. Compelling argument.
    2
  4878. Michael - That line is so fucking stupid. He said he would have more FLEXIBILITY. And to do WHAT? Do you have any idea what he was talking about? Of course not. You idiots point to that as proof of some nefarious scheme, but think nothing of Trump committing crimes and selling out to the Kremlin in plain sight. Yes, Obama probably did have more flexibility after the 2012 election. Maybe he was blowing the guy off. Ever consider what he was talking about was completely above board and legitimate? Dumbass.
    2
  4879. Buy Me Airpods - It's the theme of virtually every FOX News report.

  4880. john carioscia - When did he do either? You fuckwads almost never explain your posts or give examples of your assertions.
    2
  4881. JUSTMISH 2U - Unfortunately, they are proud - for now. Trump has a 45% approval rating. George W. Bush got a second term, but he left office at 28%. When the Trumpers wake up and turn on him, they'll turn hard.
    2
  4882. SE Cupp is giving right-wingers ammunition. It's why they call the media at large "biased." Rep. Newman didn't display that flag to "celebrate LGBTQ rights," even if she is trying to pass legislation. She did it to trigger the Qanon deplorable across the hall. That said, after we heard "You just hated Trump from the beginning" for four years, Greene is trying to impeach Biden? Republicans are such hypocrites!
    2
  4883. Jo R - You're right. Trump did great things. He'll be the inspiration for many new ethics laws to come. He showed American kids that anyone can be President.
    2
  4884. MK - By not taking a salary, he cost the treasury more, because it went to charity, and then he took the tax deduction. It's good that it was charity and all, but his charity was dissolved, and it's being investigated for what the NY AG calls a "shocking pattern of illegality".
    2
  4885.  @MCthatme  - What do you think is not newsworthy? Trying to destroy him? If Joe Biden did and said what Trump did and said and was criticized for, what would you think? Huh? Can you honestly say you would defend him? YOU ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT.
    2
  4886. Chump Cheddar - Because it was produced by politicians, not journalists. Cruz and his buddies have nothing to propose to actually help the situation. It's purely a partisan smear campaign. I'd bet money that they started drafting their statements and criticisms BEFORE they even saw what's going on down there.
    2
  4887. The Trump Tower meeting was set up on a Tuesday for the upcoming weekend. On Thursday, Trump made an announcement that, "probably Monday", he would have an announcement about Hillary Clinton. (Hmmm) Then, since the dirt turned out to be emails to be dumped later, there was no announcement by Trump. The emails were dumped right after the RNC convention. The convention attended by Sergey Kislyak (where he met with Jeff Sessions, who lied about it), where the Trump campaign had language in their platform changed to favor Russia's efforts to take over Ukraine. Yet there are 80 million dumbasses in this country who don't see anything suspicious at all about this, but think a guy who made a donation to Clinton's charity - AFTER HE SOLD HIS STAKE IN A URANIUM COMPANY - must mean Hillary Clinton was taking bribes to sign-off on a deal she literally HAD TO, as one of nine regulatory heads, that only the president could veto. Amazing.
    2
  4888. Again, Biden said something inartful and stupid, but it wasn't racist. For Trump to criticize him for being inarticulate is the mountain calling the mole hill big. Biden was asked about Venezuelan vs. Cuban Latinos. Those are different COUNTRIES. He was trying to say they have more diverse backgrounds and ideologies compared to African Americans. The key word is AMERICAN, as opposed to immigrants from different nations. The MAGA crowd CONSTANTLY tries to explain what Trump "meant" because he constantly lacks articulation, but they'll sure pounce on anything Biden says. It's ridiculous that Trump so often throws stones when he lives in a glass house. You'd think he would try like hell to avoid bringing up senility, racism, and corruption.
    2
  4889. @Mr. Man Apparently you didn't hear the question he was answering. Do you apply that standard to all of the flat-out bigoted language that Trump uses? He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.
    2
  4890. Does anyone think Trump actually checks the facts and the numbers before he says/tweets about things doing well under his watch? Does he fact-check a news story he doesn't like before he calls it fake? He's going to say what he's going to say anyway. Why would he bother?
    2
  4891. That's what you got from that incoherent rant? Trump and Kanye are like preachers. They're always vague, and like a preacher reading scripture - read it to 100 people, then ask what it meant, and you'll get 100 different answers.
    2
  4892. Lisa K - If Kanye needs help, so does Trump, for the same affliction. But it isn't schizophrenia or bipolar. It's narcissistic personality disorder.
    2
  4893. 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.
    2
  4894. Ironic, you Trumpers don't even realize you fall for Trump because he is a celebrity. Reality TV is not reality. He isn't good with money.

  4895. James Andrews - I couldn't stand Dick Cheney, but however skewed his views were, I never questioned his loyalty to the United States like I did with Trump and his cronies.
    2
  4896. Don C - CNN covered that caravan for months. Nobody has denied its existence. What would be the point of that, anyway? So, that's all you've got? That ONE non-lie is all you've got to justify saying they lie all the time? What about before the caravan? Were you saying it then? You know Youtube has other videos besides news, right? Go watch something more your speed. Maybe some Teletubbies. Something you might actually understand.
    2
  4897. Born In Shithole Country - Done that. Literally EVERY SINGLE CNN "gotcha" video on Youtube about them faking videos is total debunked bullshit. And I mean ever single one. The methods don't make sense. The motives don't make sense. They are absolutely ridiculous. common sense debunks them every time, and shows just how lacking of common sense you people are. I'd debunk them for you here, but I'd sooner argue with a brick wall than waste another minute doing that with you morons.
    2
  4898. Young Jenny Preach - There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.
    2
  4899. Editorial is supposed the be biased, moron.

  4900.  @bidensbrain2383  - I don't think any have yet. So? There are investigations ongoing. Do you say a murder hasn't occurred before someone is charged? Do you say a murder has not been committed if a suspect is acquitted? A crime statute is a different matter. Look up the definition of insurrection. It doesn't mention anything about crime. Your attempt to use some technicality to redefine the term is ridiculous. Armed groups stormed the Capitol to deny the rightful President his certification and install the loser. What do you call it?
    2
  4901.  @bidensbrain2383  - ... Is that a new FOX News talking point, like "collusion is not a crime," and then you say, "Mueller found no collusion" even though he never broached the subject because it wasn't a crime statute? "Collusion" simply means cooperation, and it's undeniable that it occurred. Call it "insurrection". Call it "peaches" as the orange moron once said. "It is what it is". A semantic argument gets you nowhere.
    2
  4902. 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.
    2
  4903. No bipartisan commission! This is what SPECIAL COUNCILS are for. Republicans will only use it to downplay the truth and use the conclusions for voter suppression tactics.
    2
  4904. No celebrities. I want a brooding public servant. I want the man or woman who ends up working late every night, but never really wants to. Who has to take Pepto Bismol and Xanax to fall asleep. Who goes over bills and PDBs like a philosophy professor grading mid-terms. I want someone boring. Politicians are not supposed to be rock stars.

  4914. Lindsey Graham says Republicans can't win without Donald Trump. Really? He's the best they can come up with? "He habitually lied, created a new scandal every day, and constantly embarrassed us, but he talked about American jobs and America first, so we need him." ALL politicians talk about American jobs. ALL of them who can sell themselves as "outsiders" have always done so. They can't find anyone else? Trump is the abusive, deadbeat husband they keep crawling back to because they think they have no other options.

  4923. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, why would they? Are high level meetings with surrogates of powerful, adversarial, foreign governments a normal part of a Presidential campaign? No. It's unheard of. Trump, like all candidates, was warned about foreign meddlers and asked to call the FBI if they saw anything suspicious. Instead, Don Jr said, "If it's what you say, I love it". Trump was working on a real estate deal in Russia that required Russian government approval, and lied about it. Think about the conflict of interest and potential for blackmail in that.

  4924. Social Security and Medicaid hasn't turned the US into red China or the USSR. Social programs are socialist. All revolutions start with popular uprisings, not just in socialist and communist states. I don't care what a system is called. I just want bang for my tax buck. Some things should be left to the free market, and some things to the government, the collective. Some things should be communal. That doesn't mean the whole system should be Communist. Any government in a free country is somewhat socialist. Bernie Sanders is right. We already have corporate socialism. We subsidize farms and bail out failing big businesses. If you say those things aren't socialist, you prove my point. "Socialism" is a word conservatives demonize as a political weapon to avoid debate about ideas put forth by liberals. They even demonize the word, "progressive". I want socialized health care because it's proven to work in other countries. I don't want free higher education, because it will erode the quality. People may argue against my position, but that's the point. It should be debated and compromised on, not DISMISSED as a slippery slope into some imagined socialist nightmare. People like Sanders and AOC don't get it. It's not that they don't have good ideas, but they think if they put the word "Democratic" in front of the word "Socialist", that conservatives will be open minded about it. They'll just be dismissed and demonized by simple-minded people on the right.

  4929. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

It's crazy how they want everything open, but ALSO to not have to wear a mask. They complain about their freedom to not wear a mask, then attack our freedom to wear a piece of clothing on our faces that doesn't affect them one bit. I've only had my first shot, but even after I get the second, I'm going to wear the mask in crowded places just for the sake of optics.

  4931. Biden OBVIOUSLY didn't think or expect us to believe there are more Chinese retirees than workers. "There are more people retired" was clearly to say there are more than there used to be. It was vague wording. Those saying they're shocked that CNN would fact-check a Dem don't see that they try HARDER to criticize Dems in a futile attempt to quiet that criticism and prove they're being fair. Media should just do their job! They'll never stop hypocrites like Hannity from crying "liberal bias." He'll always call CNN a mob in bed with Dems, no matter how much they report negative things about Biden or Cuomo. Yes, Biden got the other things wrong. He needs to tighten it up. But they weren't attempts to deceive. It was bad fact checking by Biden, himself. It's still a far cry from the habitual, deliberate lying by the last guy.

  4932. Jim Murphy - Why do you say nothing happened to BLM and Antifa rioters? The same thing happened - they were charged for their crimes. Why are you even mentioning BLM and Antifa at all? You people NEVER mention what you are implying - that sonehow the Democratic party and the liberals own and approve of what happened. No matter how many times you repeat it, it won't make it true.
    2
  4933. Jim Murphy Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.
    2
  4934. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  4935. Tony Hargrove - No, we had A moderate with a lot of baggage. Successful presidents always govern towards the center. We have one now that doesn't, and he doesn't give two craps about anyone who didn't vote for him. Trump never broke the 50% approval mark, not even for a day, and now he knows he has to resort to desperate measures to get elected again. Any far left candidate will be branded a leftist, socialist loon, even if they aren't. Trump is going to play on the same cultural fears he did before, and Klobuchar is more immune to that than the rest. Bernie will be branded too socialist. Warren too far left. Yang and Styer don't have experience. Biden has too much baggage and gaffes too much. Trump is a rambling, crooked, tich, old coot who lies all the time, but his voters can't see the hypocrisy.

  4937. Rodney Boehner - Abuse of power, soliciting foreign government election help, and obstruction of Congress are crimes, but it is well established there doesn't need to be a crime to impeach. The readout, not transcript, (which Trump hid), shows the extortion plain as day, but it isn't about a phone call. It's about scheme it exposed. Which one is it? There WAS a quid pro quo, as Mulvaney admitted, but it was perfectly legal, (yet somehow, Biden's, done in service of the country and backed by the REPUBLICANS, supposedly wasn't), or there was no quid pro quo at all? TRUMP IS ARGUING BOTH. Do you fools even THINK about the nonsense talking points you parrot?

TRUMP IS ARGUING BOTH.

  4939. Dilldow Schwagginz - He absolutely did not. Hunter Biden was never accused of corruption. Talk about looking for a crime, a witch hunt. What Biden did was sanctioned by the EU, the IMF, and the REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS. Burisma was investigated, and they found nothing. Burisma. Not Hunter Biden. The probe was dormant when the prosecutor was replaced - for NOT fighting corruption. The new prosecutor took another look at it. Would that have happened if Biden was doing what you say? You people talk about witch hunts and accuse Dems of interfering with rival campaigns?! You people are nothing but fucking hypocrites and projectors.
    2
  4940. Rodney Boehner - Do you hear yourself? You're saying abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are not things... except when Dems charge it. Then, it's a thing, when Dems do it?? This kind of double standard is rampant to a ridiculous degree with you people. Yes, abuse of power encompasses many crimes. Obstruction of Congress IS a crime, and it is well established that something doesn't have to be a crime to be an impeachable offense. But I do agree with you that the articles could have been done better. They should have charged him with the ten counts of obstruction of justice that Mueller detailed, with extortion, soliciting foreign election help, and dangling pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. This thing about it not being a fair trial is absolutely absurd and hypocritical. McConnell DECLARED THAT HE WOULD NOT EVEN TRY BE FAIR. The Republicans control the Senate! They refused to allow witnesses and documents, and you say the DEMS aren't being fair?! Can you explain, as I said, why Trump and the Republicans are putting up two contradictory defenses? Did you hear the crazy argument Dershowitz was advancing, that if Trump feels it's good for the country, it can't be wrong? Would you be okay with it if a Democrat president put up that argument? How about a Democrat soliciting foreign election help? What would you say if Biden openly asked the British, French, and Japanese to dig up dirt on Trump? Get real.

  4943. I'm a liberal who votes Democrat 90% of the time, but if Trump was a Democrat - EVEN IF HE CHAMPIONED DEMOCRATIC CAUSES - I'd be going out of my skull. I'd write-in independent candidates for the rest of my life. Trump followers are blindly biased tribalists. We're supposed to reserve that kind of devotion for our hometown football team. I expect the mothers of credibly accused criminals to swear up and down that their kids are innocent. Trump followers are like Catholic bishops who protect pedophile priests. Like police chiefs who protect dirty cops. The hypocrisy is INSANE! Half of Trump's campaign staffers were reaching-out to the Russian government, but HILLARY COLLUDED with Russia?? Trump bears NO responsibility for his rhetoric, and for directly, LITERALLY endorsing violence, but they'll accuse the left of inciting violence?? Character mattered when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, but they give Trump a blank check?? Obama "ruined the country" by raising the national debt, but Trump putting the deficit into the TRILLIONS to give the 1% a tax break is just fine?? Lying (miscalculating) the benefits of the ACA made Obama an insufferable liar, but it's okay if Trump lies about EVERYTHING?? They don't care that Trump is FLAT-OUT LYING about protecting pre-existing condition protections?? The news is "fake" when they show video of Trump, himself, in the flesh, saying stupid and offensive things?? Trump followers are indistinguishable from cult members and Russian propaganda trolls.

  4966. I used to be opposed to imprisoning elder statesmen, even a criminal like Trump. I hope he loses every penny to fines and lawsuits, but locking him up would look horrible to the rest of the world, and send a bad message to our citizens. It's too divisive and banana republic-like. I agreed with the Nixon pardon. I didn't like W Bush, Cheney or the Iraq war, but trying them for war crimes is going too far. It's a situation where some justice has to take a back seat to avoiding damage to the country. But now I think if he's convicted of a felony, it will damage the country if he ISN'T locked up. He's told two AGs to investigate Hillary Clinton, again, for something his own staff have done. He ousted practically every top FBI agent, accused them of treason, and said they should get 50 years. Think about this: Trump was impeached for leveraging Ukraine for election help by having them investigate Joe Biden and his family. For personal, political reasons, he's willing to send a former Vice President and long-time Senator to a Ukrainian prison. He wanted Ukraine - a country he said was corrupt - to investigate a US citizen and American elder statesman. He wants his rival probed by a crooked foreign country - based on NO evidence of a crime. It's way beyond dirty politics. That's someone on a war footing. In 2016, I thought "lock her up" was just an election gimmick, but Trump is really using the DOJ to go after Hillary. Lock HIM up. I hope he loses the election and gets jailed on federal charges. He'll be on a prison phone, dictating tweets to Hannity trashing President Biden while demanding a pardon from him. And I hope Biden actually gives him one - on his last day in office in 4-8 years.

  4978. Edwin M - You have your facts all wrong. YOU are presenting only what the Republicans are claiming. The LAW says you cannot enlist foreign help in an election, quid pro quo or not. "I need a favor, THOUGH" is clearly a quid pro quo, and texts between staff back that up. Schiff did NOT lie about the transcript. TRUMP released the transcript, not Schiff. We saw the transcript. The funds absolutely WERE withheld. Biden's son's company was investigated by two prosecutors. Nothing "remotely" wrong? What do you think the issue was after Trump did it with Russia? Then, he does it AGAIN?! By the way, what Trump is accusing Biden of - stacking the board of a Ukrainian energy company - is exactly what was just revealed that Trump's people were doing. Under the statute, you absolutely do NOT have to have first hand knowledge to be a whistleblower, but some was first hand. It did NOT begin with Schiff. It began when the whistleblower reported it to the IG, who investigated. You still can't explain how it is "convenient" that there are two whistleblowers. Two people can't witness the same wrongdoing?? And the Mueller report did NOT say there was no collusion. Collusion is not a crime statute. These are FACTS. Look them up. Stop getting your info. from sources like FOX News. All they do is throw a bunch of names and events out there, conflate everything, and explain nothing. Pay attention to their words, not their attitudes, and you will see it's nothing but suggestion with no substance. They source stories back to themselves. It's what's called a feedback loop. Don't fall for it.

  4979. Trump isn't looking for corruption and conspiracies. He's fishing for conspiracy THEORIES. He knows there's no dirt to dig up. He wants something to give weight to his suggestion of corruption, and 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. The hypocrisy and projection is astounding. How could the Mueller probe be a witch hunt, and the Biden and Clinton fishing expeditions not be witch hunts? How could the Steele dossier be collusion, and the Trump Tower meeting not be collusion? It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival.

It only makes logical sense to be especially consistent with approval polls so the viewers can corrolate rises and falls with whatever events have happened.

  4986. Don - "Officer, my money was stolen." Cop - "Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think that?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  4991. @Open road - He's done no real life scientific work? You obviously don't have any understanding of what he does. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.6 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're advanced enough to design spacecraft versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  4992. @Open road - Right off the bat, I never said aliens don't exist. I think they do exist, but it's highly, highly unlikely that they're coming here. Science has absolutely worked out that NOTHING can travel through space faster than light, abd worked out how far away the other stars and galaxies are. Did you read my post?

  4994.  @PaulMartindale721  - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. He bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

You are citing a vague suspicion, implying that somehow it only happens to Republicans. That's pure BS. It's real easy.

That's the exact kind of person you should keep an eye on.

Our freedom is at stake if we wear masks for a few months. Kids are going to turn out stupid and emotionally distressed if they miss a few months of school. People will turn into lonely, suicidal drug addicts if they can't go to bars for a while." "Liberal BLM terrorists are creating anarchy in the streets. They have some nerve to protest a tiny problem like police brutality! But those statues are SACRED! They're socialists trying to take over. You'll wake up tomorrow in 1959 Cuba if you even acknowledge the problem of systemic racism!"

He is simply trying to warn us of potential consequences.

  5010. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

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.

  5026. Most people get news in video form, TV and internet. The big newspapers are online now. The major outlets are CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, BBC, NYT, WaPo...and then there's FOX News. It's not "left" vs "right". It's MAINSTREAM vs ALTERNATIVE. If I'm 10 ft. to the right of a group of 8 people, the center is 5 ft. away, but the center of gravity is closer to the group. FACTS aren't partisan. To single out CNN as some kind of political brainwash operation is absurd because ALL outlets report the SAME FACTS. FOX argues that MSM leans left, and that they're just balancing it out by leaning right, but that's a false equivalency. There is left and right in the political spectrum. There is more and less newsworthy in the news spectrum. MSM picks stories based on ratings. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one ideology. I don't know why editorial departments endorse candidates. I wish they wouldn't. I think it's a practice from a less partisan age. But they don't work for the DNC or the CIA. They work for corporate sponsors. Journalists get into the business to expose truth. They don't pass on outing a crooked Senator because he's a Democrat. If CNN won't report it, CBS will. It's a competitive field...unless you're FOX News, which has virtually no competition. I try to extract the fact from the noise. The analysis is there as a guide so you can digest stories you might not understand. Criticizing the outlet too much is like blaming your phone for what people say on it. There's so much of that "kill the messenger" mentality out there.

  5039. Vote Trump if you want... - to destabilize the geopolitical landscape, defend Putin, and lose the respect of our allies. - to give conservatives a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. - to continue to hear more lies than truth, and hear the same juvenile, vicious rhetoric from the president. - deregulate everything until the FDA and EPA are effectively gone, inundating the environment with toxic pesticides and products, and raising cancer rates. - keep the DOJ as the president's personal accessory to his crimes. - to keep marijuana illegal on the federal level. - end public school as we know it in favor of private schools for those who can afford it. - widen the wealth gap, and have another round of tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%. - do nothing to reign in system police brutality and racism. - do nothing about future pandemics and neuter the CDC and WHO. - legalize voter suppression of minorities and the poor. - keep the minimum wage low, no matter how much inflation we have. - three more miles of new border barriers, because that's all Trump has built so far. - keep kids in cages and asylum seekers in squalid conditions as we pay private companies $700/day to not give detainees soap and water. - scrap every nuclear treaty since the Cold War, and militarize space. - war with Iran, a nuclear-armed Saudi Arabia, and to destabilize the Middle East encouraging terrorists to set off dirty bombs (or worse) in our cities. - usher in global warming. - miss our last chance to stay in the Paris Accords. (We aren't officially out of it until the day after election day). - Secretary of State Ivanka Trump. Ambassador Stephen Miller. Chief of Staff Donald Trump Jr. 2024 presidential candidate Jared Kushner. - keep the axis of evil, Barr, McConnell, and Trump, in charge of America. - replace Confederate statues with statues of Putin and Hitler. - end NATO. - end Obamacare and replace it with nothing.

  5044. Hunter Biden and the Biden campaign manager met with Ukrainian government officials in Scranton to trade illegally obtained dirt on Trump for political favors if Biden gets elected. Joe Biden denies he knew about the meeting, but he announced that, "Soon, probably next week, I'm going to make a major announcement about all of the bad things that have been going on with Donald Trump. And Great Britain, if you're listening, I hope you can find Donald Trump's tax returns. You'll be mightily rewarded by our press."

The fact that the sole targets of the investigations he wanted were his political rivals was pure coincidence, right? Don't we want crooked Ukraine to investigate itself for meddling in the 2016 election? Hey, I've got some oceanfront property in Kansas I'll sell you cheap!

  5047. 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.

  5048. When Trump first got into office, in his first conversation with the Mexican president, he told him, "I can't have you SAYING you won't pay for a wall". Never mind actually paying for it or not. To Trump, perception is reality, and only peoples' perception of himself matters.

  5058. 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".

  5063.  @joemontiero5978  Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  5064.  @dogpoofairy2517  Biden on Chinese human rights abuses: "What I’m doing is making clear that we, in fact, are going to continue to reassert our role as spokespersons for human rights at the U.N. and other agencies that have an impact on their attitude.  China is trying very hard to become the world leader and to get that moniker. And to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries.  And as long as they’re engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s going to be hard for them to do that." It’s pretty clear that (1) Biden is not excusing China’s human rights abuses on the basis of the need to keep the country united, he’s saying that this is Xi’s rationale for his repressive policies; (2) his comment about “different norms” refers to the norm that requires him, as the American President, to speak out for human rights. https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

  5070. Mark Dice - The FBI is not political. They're cops. Many started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They want to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were probing two unpopular candidates - both for good reason. The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Is it a stretch to think FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump voters? Why would they be so in love with Hillary? She had high negatives. The same goes for CIA analysts, who couldn't care less about politics when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the DNC. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat. It's absurd.

  5072. A US resident and journalist for a major news outlet was murdered by Saudis. A man with 20 guns was arrested for death threats to a newspaper. He used the Stalin phrase, "Enemy of the people", but Trump kept repeating it. The "MAGA Bomber" was a rabid Trump follower who mailed bombs to US Presidents - members of an exclusive club that Trump belongs to. Hillary's daughter is friends with Trump's. Hillary attended Trump's wedding. It didn't stop him from making his "2nd Amendment people" remark that got him questioned by the Secret Service. Chants of, "Lock her up!" continued, even after the pipe bombs. One was sent to CNN. He said the media was partly responsible because of their negativity, but took no blame for his own rhetoric. Ironic, since the violence is coming from HIS SIDE. Right-wing violent attacks outnumber those from the left 4 to 1. A man killed 11 Jews, saying they needed to die for helping immigrants come to the US. Trump had personally slammed George Soros with a lie about his funding the caravans. Soros, and all of the mail bomb targets, were named by Trump. He proclaimed himself a Nationalist. Two days later, David Duke tweeted that Trump supports him. The connections are UNDENIABLE. You can cite technicalities like a defense lawyer trying to sow reasonable doubt, but Trump isn't on trial. He IS, however, POTUS, a job full of criticism where words matter. Yet, he balks when SNL parodies him. You think CNN fills our heads with shit? You can't have it both ways. As President OF THE US, you don't call to jail political opponents or associate yourself with dictators of the 20th century just to use a term like "Nationalism". It's UNNECESSARY. "Patriotism" will do just fine. As POTUS, and as a human, he should have thought, "Did I take it too far? Maybe I should tone it down. People died! High office holders from my country could have died! My citizens are worried". No. He said, "I could tone it up". Those thoughts never cross his mind. When it's explained to him, he doesn't get it. Same as his being a reputed racist. True or not, he has an optics problem, so why go there REPEATEDLY? Any doubt that when he says, "Hit 'em. I'll pay your legal bills", and encourages police to slam suspects' heads into car doors that he WANTS TO see it happen? Any doubt when he says, "Middle Easterners are in the caravan" or uses Obama's middle name that he wants them associated with terrorists? He leads a country where there are millions of Muslim CITIZENS. Think he cares if they are persecuted? If he gives two shits about the social fabric of the nation or the well-being of Democrats, Muslims and journalists, he sure doesn't show it.

  5079. Trump is a bigot. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.

  5080. Trump dangled pardons for DHS staff who broke eminent domain laws. When caught, he said he was kidding. He said he was being "sarcastic" when he asked Russia to dig up dirt on Clinton. Sarcasm. Right, as if he meant the opposite. As if he would just up and say, "Russia, definitely DON'T hack my opponent," while he knew Russia was trying to help him win. Right. And then, we found out that his top people were meeting with them to...(drumroll).., get dirt on Clinton. Then, he just happened to ask China and Ukraine for help, and, whatdya know, took the position that it's OKAY to take foreign election help.

  5081. Stefan Smith - Are you really that dense? He has been taking the position that the virus is not a problem, and that testing IS the whole time! If it was a joke, then he would still be incredibly stupid for continuing to make himself "misunderstood" by "joking" about things exactly like this - Things that, despite his words, his ACTIONS and OTHER WORDS show what his real position is, like with Russia attacking our elections, and with his stance on race relations.

Our president is a dumbass. And that seems like a cause better suited for Dems. Republicans get rabid against the teachers' unions, calling them terrorist organizations and saying teachers are spoiled and whiney for wanting raises to not have to buy books and pencils out of their own pockets. And when they attack Trump, they have to veil it. Don't say "impeachment", because the Big Yam hasn't been charged with anything (YET). They should use terms like "oversight", "ethics", and "political norms". Trump will be crying, "Vote Republican or they'll impeach me!" I want their dumb, lazy, Trump-loving asses to not bother to go out and vote in some lame-ass mid-term. Democratic voters are already pretty motivated against him, but they need a little push.

It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..."

  5091. CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, ballot audits, multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy, a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead.

  5096. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  5098. The GOP doesn't want election security for the SAME reason they want voter ID laws - It helps THEM. Voter fraud is NOT a real problem. Don't just believe me. Trump's own voter fraud commission found nothing. Russian interference IS a problem. In this climate, President "It's all rigged" Trump should WANT to protect our democratic process. He's so damn insistent that he doesn't need Russian help, so what's the problem? He is the PRESIDENT, so it is his DUTY to protect our elections and our CONFIDENCE in them.

  5100. Allexander Gibbs - He does NOT have 90% support from the military. His Defense Secretary resigned in protest. He did nothing in North Korea except give concessions to them. No declaration. No verification. Damn, don't you watch the news? Trump said the nuclear threat was gone because Kim Jong Un likes him. The recent summit failed, and there is new activity at their launch sites. The plans to take Mosul and Raqqa from ISIS were made under Obama. The unemployment trend started under Obama. Name one policy of Trump's that can be tied to the economy. At best, he hasn't let it tank yet. Trump told voters he'd eliminate the national debt in 8 years. When his advisors warned him that the debt was projected to rise sharply over the next 8 years, he said he didn't care because, "I'll be gone then".Obama raised the debt to record levels, (to get us out of a recession), but Trump is raising the debt at an EVEN HIGHER RATE than Obama. The budget deficit went up to $1.5 trillion due to the Trump tax cuts. Deficits become debt. According to the Washington Post, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Trump has lied over 9000 times in 2 years.

  5101. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  5104. 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?

  5105. 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.

  5107. If he had been sleeping in his car in a parking spot, he could have said he was sleeping it off. But he was in the drive through. That's DUI. It's also not very drunk. You can blow a .108 after 3 beers. My guess was that he was on opiods. That doesn't make him a bad person, but it makes him a danger to be driving. Fighting the cops, taking the tazer, and aiming it at the cops makes him a stupid person. No, the cop shouldn't have shot him, but it's not the same as crushing a handcuffed man's throat for over 8 minutes, shooting a fleeing suspect 8 times in the back who posed zero threat, blowing away someone in their car in front of their kid who announced he legally had a gun, shooting a kid with a knife surrounded by cops who are 30 feet away, or shooting a man in the stomach who was simply doing as asked and getting his ID.

  5110. Putin, an honest mistake by James Comey, and the fact that he ran against an unpopular opponent. It's funny how Trump wants us to believe the "deep state" is so loyal to Clinton, as if she runs the world, but even most Dems weren't very thrilled about her.

YOU don't know shit about his picks.

  5115. There are different ways to exit a building. You can jump out the 40th floor window, or walk out the front door. With NO WARNING, and AGAINST the advice of VIRTUALLY EVERYONE, Trump left our allied fighters and CIVILIANS to be slaughtered and driven from their homes. He put ISIS terrorists in the wind. He pulled troops out so fast they had to BLOW UP THEIR OWN BASES.

  5117. MLK's Conservative Ghost - Obama wasn't president in 2008. In 2012, he was, and we know he listened to his advisors and intel chiefs. The level of interference wasn't nearly as high in 2012, either. In 2016, Putin wanted to stop Clinton more than he wanted to help Trump.
    2
  5118. In 2016, Obama did a LOT to address it. He confronted Putin directly. He prepared for an attack on election day with cyber bombs ready to go. US intel had a code-named operation. Read the LONG article in the Washington Post about it if you don't believe me. And what kind of bs argument are you even trying to use here? Trump refuses to do ANYTHING about it.

  5125. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  5126. Censored 1 - Trump is doing the very same thing in Ukraine as he is accusing Biden of, so do you want to call it legal or illegal? Wrong or right? Either Biden is innocent or Trump is also guilty. Which do you prefer the truth to be? You can't have it both ways.

  5131. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  5135. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  5137. Trump's says his hush payments to two women he denies having affairs with, (Yeah, right), were "simple, private transactions". His lawyer set up two shell companies and committed bank fraud to get loans to pay it. Trump lied on his FEC disclosure, and it involved another lawyer and the editor of a tabloid that "caught and killed" the story. (The lawyer and the editor have been granted immunity in case they testify). Looks like simple and private got complicated and public. Some free love cost him $280,000 years later, and his wife found out he raw-dogged a porn star. Even after he beat Stormy Daniels' defamation suit, he only got back half of his legal fees, and now he's been implicated in two federal crimes. So much winning!
    2
  5138. Everything Trump says is the extreme of the opposite. "I'm the least racist person", "Nobody respects women more", "I know more about tech than anyone", "I know more about the military than the generals"...
    2
  5139. Nathan Ryan - When it isn't illegal and unconstitutional. Ken Starr just said that if Trump is lying about telling the White House council to fire Mueller, that is impeachable. By my count, Trump has committed over a dozen counts of obstruction. Not to mention, he has boxed himself into half a dozen perjury traps. He's as good as finished, collusion or not.
    2
  5140. He gave the order to fire Mueller. If you try to shoot somebody and miss, is it no big deal?

  5141. The Trump Administration makes no sense. We have the acting DHS Secretary contradicting a DHS report. We have Trump saying there's no problem, and at the same time, asking for more money to fix the problem that we don't have. Of course, we're talking about a guy who said Jeff Sessions should have told him beforehand that he would recuse himself if they were implicated in a crime they never committed.

You pick up your iPhone with your tiny, little hands, and you tweet, "I fully reject the support of David Duke, as well as the Klan, The Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, and all racist hate groups. Do not vote for me. You have no place in our country." Then, you immediately stop using the term, "Nationalist", no matter what new connotation you want to attach to it, because it's a loaded term. It's totally unnecessary to use, especially in this political climate, so just fucking drop it.

  5145. Proud American - The only difference is that Trump's Koolaide will be orange.

  5146. If what Trump has been doing isn't obstruction of justice, what is? If the Trump campaign, (with Carter Page having been recruited by Russian spies, Manafort being a Putin tool, and Flynn on the RT payroll), didn't need to have an informant check it out, when would that be appropriate? And if this whole case, with its inherent conflicts of interest, didn't require a special council from the very beginning, what would?

  5152. House Dems should at least start an impeachment INQUIRY. Then, they get the documents and testimony that Trump refuses to turn over. Dems should put the election stuff on hold for a while. It's still early. There may not be enough Republican votes in the Senate to remove Trump right now, but there are 20 ongoing probes, into his charity, his inaugural committee, and his tax, banking, emoluments, and business practices. His kids could have state criminal exposure he can't pardon away. Dems want to beat a wounded Trump at the ballot box, but that's a long time from now, and in that time, Republicans might decide to primary him. They'll want to get rid of him for the same reason they support him now - to hold onto power. Dems must SIEZE THE NARRATIVE that Trump and Barr took control of when they declared, "No collusion. Case closed". No, it's not closed. Mueller said that Barr mischaracterized his report. Mueller needs to testify. I think he knew he might have to do that when he took the job of Special Council. There WAS COLLUSION. As Giuliani said, "collusion is not a crime". Mueller didn't find enough evidence to charge criminal CONSPIRACY. Mueller also clearly outlined 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice. He couldn't indict a sitting President, so he left it to Congress. Over 800 former federal prosecutors signed a document saying that if Trump wasn't President, he would be charged with Obstruction. (Did 800 prosecutors say that Hillary Clinton would have been criminally charged for her private server? No. That's why Comey said that, while she was reckless, "no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges". And by the way, Trump, Kushner, and Ivanka have done worse than Hillary with regard to being careless with classified information and using improper channels...a LOT worse). Just wait, Trumpers. We haven't heard the end of the Hope Hicks, Michael Flynn, and Rick Gates stories. They have all been cooperating. If Trump has nothing to hide, why is he stonewalling and acting squirrelly? Use common sense. Your boy is a crook, and you were conned.

  5153. I seem to have awoken in an alternate universe on Nov. 8, 2016. It's strange here. The US President does EVERYTHING that's considered unacceptable in a POTUS back in my home universe, but he has a cult following that doesn't care. I need to get to the universe where Clinton is a mediocre President, and Trump runs his mouth all day long on his new show on FOX. The government is still open, and the witch hunt is REAL - Repubicans against Clinton. The economy is exactly the same. We're still in the Iran deal and Paris agreement, and the Hillary only lies 5% of the time this bizarro POTUS does.

  5154. People need to clear their heads and realize the insanity going on here. Today, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, the VICTIMS of one of the Russian attacks. - So, is Trump saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? The Seth Rich conspiracy? He STILL won't believe the intelligence agencies? How is he going to safeguard our elections if he keeps saying shit like that?? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. It was the DNC's decision to outsource the forensics. Who cares why? I don't care about anyone's unfounded conspiracy theories. THE RUSSIANS DID IT. We know that, and Trump, once and for all, needs to take a position and stick to it! We should DEMAND that!! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in! It is reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that! How can he defend law and order?? We're letting him get away with it!! And now, they're not even holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Are we going to say, "Oh, that's just Trump"?? You're a Trump supporter, so you don't care if we can't be confident that our elections are fair?? If so, to you, I say FUCK YOU! Just wait. Your boy is FUCKED!! - Trump is stupid, but he KNOWS BETTER! When the hell did this kind of behavior become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. And if you don't think, with EVERYTHING ELSE he has said and done, and his associates have been caught doing and lying about, you are a goddamn FOOL!!

  5158. Let me get this straight: Supposedly, EVERYBODY was in on the scam - Individual voters, poll workers, mail carriers, local election boards, the media, the DNC, Biden himself, all Democrats, many Republicans, CISA, the DOJ, Soros, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... And they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only those on Biden's side did this. None were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!? Do you people hear yourselves?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/05/politics/trump-november-election-roundup/index.html

  5159. Just because a candidate is on the news doesn't mean they are pushing them. It's called covering an election campaign. Duh.
    2
  5160. Jason Olson - No evidence? They met with a foreign government and had a quid pro quo - sanction relief for dirt on the opposition. It's cut and dry.
    2
  5161. ... And they can't say "nothing came of it" when the DNC emails were released "later in the summer", as Don Jr. requested.
    2
  5162. ...And this has nothing to do with the dossier. And why on earth would they have paid for opposition research, but not use it before the election? Did Clinton make over a dozen Trump associates lie about Russian contacts? Did she set up the Trump Tower meeting? Did she make Papadopoulos go in search of her "missing" emails?
    2
  5163. "Ovomit"? Are you 5 years old? How is that even remotely close to "Obama"?
    2
  5164. 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
  5165. And if that Uranium One thing had any merit, the Trump followers would have blamed Obama, the only one who could veto the deal. But since Hillary was running for president, they put it on her. This has nothing to do with slums in Baltimore. It has to do with Cummings calling out the DHS chief for slum conditions in migrant detention centers.
    2
  5166. LOL. At the end, he said, "If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn". There IS a bridge in Brooklyn. It's supposed to be "I've got oceanfront property in Kansas", or something like that, because Kansas doesn't border the ocean. Brooklyn needs bridges.
    2
  5167. 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.

  5168. Bill Doe - To his kids, and he didn't sign over any control. YOU need to get the facts right.

  5169. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

  5170. Lemme guess, another "hoax" somehow by the Demo"rats"?
    2
  5171. First Last - The prosecutors went by the guidelines, so they'd already factored in that it was non-violent and victimless. Cocaine posession is non-violent and victimless, too, but that can get you hard time. Stone got lucky. He was reaching out to the very hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. If you ask me, he victimized the whole country.
    2
  5172. 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.
    2
  5173. When people say, "He's allowed to lie", no. He can't be held criminally responsible for lying. He did, however, break his oath of office.
    2
  5174. You know that letter outgoing presidents leave for their successors? Trump will just crap in an envelope and leave it on the Oval Office desk.
    2
  5175. Vacnol - What does this have to do with open or closed mindedness?? This is about numbers. Objective facts. And no, Dems are not "known" for being closed minded. If anything, Republicans under Trump have become known for that. YOU are another pigeon!
    2
  5176. I'll never get over the fact that Trump has the worst grammar and spelling skills of any POTUS in history, yet he founded a "university". He can't spell "they're", "smoke", or "border", yet he can't stay off of Twitter. But furthermore, if a POTUS is going to text message the world every day, shouldn't he at least have someone on staff PROOFREAD his tweets? Even the Kardashians do that! This is the same guy who, as a candidate, said, "I love the poorly educated!" Cult 45 members, that was an INSULT, you dimwits! And you voted for him? Covfefe.
    2
  5177. Dave Schultz - Donald Trump has lied over 12,000 times since taking office. Name one lie told by the NYT.
    2
  5178. Elynor Sykes - Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Trump has a worse record than a broken clock.
    2
  5179. 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.
    2
  5180. 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... "

  5181. Someone needs to give him a set of shiney keys and a Russian Baby-Wets-Herself doll until he goes nap-nap for the plane ride back to Florida.

  5182. Trump 2020 ...and she WAS investigated.
    2
  5183. What we really need is a competitive third party. Problem is, they're always absorbed by the Republicans or Democrats. The two-party system is how we wound up with Trump. That bullshit artist ran against a candidate with high negatives and a lot of baggage. All it took was a little help from the Russians and a dumb, (but at least honest) mistake by James Comey.
    2
  5184. In 2020, we need to elect who would have won in 2016 if things hadn't gone bad - Joe Biden
    2
  5185. 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.
    2
  5186. @tre - So, your solution is to ignore it, let 2.2 million people die, and let the economy and the health care system crash. You have us to thank because that didn't happen. We make the sacrifices that help you, and you complain. You're selfish and foolish.
    2
  5187. CNN is the McDonalds of news. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. Not gourmet, but it does the job. FOX News couldn't pass the health inspection.

  5188. abdi yusuf - Uh, I don't think the weed gave you those urges. Sounds like it revealed them. You've got some soul-searching to do.
    2
  5189. One thing the Republicans are a lot better at than the Democrats is messaging. Dems suck at it. Republicans can get the Right to believe the craziest lies and parrot the most illogical nonsense. Dems have the truth on their side and don't know how to disseminate it. They say a lie can get around the world before the truth can get out of the driveway... or something akin to that. So the ignorant MAGA crowd has "Let's go Brandon!" Well, how about "IF BIDEN DID IT..?" Virtually EVERYTHING we criticized Donald Trump for, they fiercely defended. But THEY KNOW and WE ALL KNOW that if Biden had done it or Biden had said it, they would have been outraged. I've asked them that question many, many times, and NOT ONE has ever had the nerve to say they'd have been okay with Biden (or Obama or Clinton) acting exactly like Trump - habitually lying, secret meetings with Russian intelligence, lying about COVID, attempting a coup...just to name a few. There are literally THOUSANDS. What you will get is "Why are you still talking about Trump?" That's a ridiculous talking point for many reasons. Let them say that again when Trump concedes the election or when they support the January 6th Commission. IF BIDEN DID IT..? It should be on bumper stickers.
    2
  5190. You Tube Moderator - First, Dems don't want open borders. That is yet another Trump lie. Second, no, that wouldn't be treason. Third, whataboutism is never a justification. Whataboutism is saying two wrongs make a right. Jeez, you're d7mb as fuck.
    2
  5191. Roger Stone is fucked. I wonder what that tattoo of Nixon on his back is going to look like when his old ass leaves prison in a body bag.
    2
  5192. I wouldn't be surprised if Devin Nunes gets charged with obstruction. The House and Senate probes are jokes. Nunes is supposed to be recused. Grassley is using the probe against itself. This cannot stand. Dems would be better off quitting in protest and demanding a true bipartisan commission.
    2
  5193. 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!
    2
  5194. - Does anyone seriously think Trump was working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? ONLY Biden? With no evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden that was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why would he fill her role with his personal attorney and two indicted criminals, none of whom work for the government? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust crooked Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016, and dismiss the findings of the CIA? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win? - Trump literally has had more campaign staff and close aides indicted and implicated in crimes, and lost more White House staff and cabinet members to scandal and due to criminal behavior than any other president. And he's fighting corruption in Ukraine?!? - Mueller detailed 10 instances of obstruction, and specifically said he was not cleared of that. - Trump dangled pardons to officials working on his border wall. He told them to ignore eminent domain laws to take their land. When that leaked, Trump said he was "joking". Okay, let's get these officials under oath and ask them, "Did you take it as a joke, or did you take action?" - Trump is on tape directing Michael Cohen to start an LLC to launder the hush payments to Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model. That's what got him designated as an unindicted co-conspirator, "Individual 1", in court filings. The crime involved FEC violations and bank fraud. - Trump altered an official weather chart with a sharpie. That is a crime. It caused turmoil and confusion in Alabama, and within government weather agencies, just because the president cannot admit even small mistakes. - Trump obstructed justice by firing James Comey over Russia, and attempting to fire Robert Mueller. He drafted a false statement for his son to cover up the infamous Trump Tower meeting, where Don Jr, Jarred Kushner, and Paul Manafort met surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump intimidated Marie Yavanovich via Twitter during her testimony to the House Intel Committee. He sent similar tweets taunting James Comey, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe and Michael Cohen. - Trump has violated the public trust by lying to the public 13,000 times in 3 years. To put that in perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. And the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton over ONE LIE about his personal life! But as long as the president isn't under oath, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Why should it matter that he lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that needed Kremlin approval? What's a little conflict of interest with a country that was ACTIVELY ATTACKING OUR ELECTION TO HELP HIM WIN? What's a little vulnerability to blackmail by Putin? - Trump has refused to divest his businesses, and refuses to show his tax returns. He is lying about why he is breaking his promise to release them. Meanwhile, he is breaking the emoluments clause, raking in money from lobbyists and foreign dignitaries who pay to stay at his hotels. But Trump wouldn't put the government up for sale, would he? He said he was draining the swamp! - Why not trust an habitual liar whose charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality"? Why worry about the ethics of a president who used that charity's funds to "donate" $25k to an AG in Florida who declined to move forward on a lawsuit of his sham university, and then gave that AG a high paying job in the federal government? Trump once said, "I love spending other peoples' money". Well now, "other people" are the American taxpayers.

  5195. Scenes from an old Tom Hanks movie, Joe Vs. the Volcano, keep popping into my head when I read comments from Trump fans. "I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job..? I'm not arguing that with you, Harry..."
    2
  5196. You Don't Know Me - That was obviously a typo. Duh. Now, do you have an actual argument? Didn't think so.

  5197. Jeremy Miles - Yes, they do. Look it up.
    2
  5198. Mark Pedrick - That was a specific matter.
    2
  5199. Anyone who can watch the train-wreck of a press conference Trump held after the UN Assembly and think he is fit for office is an idiot. The 25th Amendment is the best scenario for him. No shame in being an old, rambling coot who is in waaay over his head. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Trump fans should listen to him with some skepticism. Some criticism. When he fucks-up the whole world before you know it, I, and those like myself, will be blaming YOU. Then, you'll be bitching about "lib-turds" STILL not understanding you, but we'll be in charge again, and saying, "Of course we don't understand you. We don't speak fucking IDIOT!"
    2
  5200. Intetesting to see the fundamental differences between the Youtube FOX News comments and the CNN comments. On FOX, there's so much more confirmation bias and childish nicknames.
    2
  5201. "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed". That's not true. If you watch, you are under-informed. If you confuse the NARRATIVE and EDITORIAL with the FACTS, you are misinformed. Sure, the media make mistakes, but mistakes aren't lies. I'd rather know half a story that's spun the wrong way than to know nothing. Yes, MSM is sensationalized. Yes, they use narratives to sell the story. They have to. I cringe whenever I hear "BREAKING NEWS!" about every little thing. Take it with a grain of salt. Extract the facts. Wikileaks is not news. Youtube hack videos are not news. They just talk about what MSM reports. Trump's Tweets are not news. Saying it gets him around the "fake" media is absurd. It gets him around due scrutiny. (with grammar errors no Yale man should ever make - "their" is not "they are". "Open Borders" doesn't get capitalized, and it's a lie to say Dems want open borders anyway). FOX News isn't even news. Sean Hannity coordinates stories with Trump! And his followers say the "liberal" media is biased?! FOX has no competition on TV. Competition is what keeps them honest. If CNN gets it wrong, ABC, NBC and PBS will get it right and get higher ratings. Free market Capitalists should know that. You MSM bashers are so much more biased than they are, and it's obvious.

  5203.  @RP-fm6fn  Duh, okay, just discredit the source if you don't like the facts. Did you even read my post? They lie a little, like Obama lied 143 times in 8 years. Trump has told OVER 20,000 NOW in less than four! Go ahead, click on the site and tell me what WaPo got wrong if you think it's so fake. Trump is an habitual liar, and that is undeniable.
    2
  5204.  @RP-fm6fn  He lies every day about COVID statistics. He lied about having a health care bill in the works. He lied about receiving two calls from the Chinese during a summit. He lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow. He once phoned a call in show and lied about who he even was...Are you dense? Click the link, and the lies pop up. Jeez, WTF is wrong with you people??
    2
  5205.  @RP-fm6fn  Actually, I usually watch PBS, but they are reporting the sane numbers as CNN and MSNBC. Do you hear yourself? How do I know who is lying? Let's see...The habitual liar or EVERYONE ELSE? Hmm..? You really think the major news outlets are all lying about OFFICIAL death counts and hospital admissions numbers? He said three weeks ago that he was going to sign major health care legislation in two weeks. Do you even know what LEGISLATION IS??? That's Congress, and they have not bern working on health care at all! You should really learn at least the basics of what you are talking about before you start arguing. He said the Chinese called TWICE during that summit to make a trade deal. Nobody could verify it and there was never a deal. Name one lie that CNN told about Russian collusion. Of all of the literally thousands of reports surrounding that scandal, name one reporter who told one lie. I gave you two links - one to a news outlet, and one to an independent organization that details every lie, but you choose to ignore it and parrot FOX News talking points that you do not understand. It's like you all are the SAME PERSON. You say exactly the same things that we KNOW are BS because it is obvious you don't even UNDERSTAND what you are parroting. WTF is wrong with you?
    2
  5206.  @RP-fm6fn  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?
    2
  5207.  @RP-fm6fn  Sure. The doctors, nurses, coroners, the CDC, NIH, WHO, all the Democrats, all of the media (except FOX News), the DNC, the friends and families of the infirmed, the teachers unions, all foreign governments, the whole "deep state" concocted a plot to exaggerate a WORLD PANDEMIC in ordervto make Donald Trump look bad. You obviously don't know anything about how journalism, government, politics, or health care work. Enjoy your fantasy world.
    2
  5208.  @RP-fm6fn  ...Yes, he said he was going to sign something in two weeks - three weeks ago - that fulfilled his campaign promise to replace Obamacare. It has been widely reported. So, you think PBS, which is government funded by a government Republicans are in charge of, is lying, while the Republicans just let it happen? Maybe you think BBC, which is British, is also all in for the Democrats in America. You are so ignorant!
    2
  5209.  @RP-fm6fn  How do I know what Congress is working on? It's public knowledge! You're calling ME gullible?? You think a major health care reform package is just something they whip up over the weekend? And the Democrat controlled House will just get on board? Oh, here's another MAJOR Trump lie - He said he will protect preexisting conditions protections, and he is actively working to get rid of them...Did I mention that he asmitted to lying about MLB asking him to throw out the first pitch at a game?
    2
  5210. Surf_KaaboMantis10 - Yeah, because blame cures diseases. It is still unknown whether it came from a lab or not. If it did, it was not purposely leaked. Sure, they should be blamed and de-funded if that proves to be the case, but don't act like the blame makes any difference at all when it comes to fighting the disease.
    2
  5211. We've got the same type of problem with House of Rep. elections. Due to gerrymandering, Republicans are being elected without getting the popular vote.
    2
  5212. Many people think we have built-in protections to stop a truly unintelligent, unfit person from becoming President. "Sure, Trump SEEMS like an idiot with no skills or understanding of the job, but he became POTUS, so it must be an act." WRONG. He's an idiot who lacks skills. "But he's rich. He had a TV show about getting rich because he's a great businessman." WRONG. He inherited a lot of money and had colossal business failures. You have to be over 35, and a US citizen. That's it. In a two party system, a presidential election is nothing but a popularity contest between two people who compete for votes from a group of people who mostly have little or no understanding of the job themselves.
    2
  5213. David Smith - No, nobody, including Clinton herself, said she would win in a landslide. She had a small, but comfortable lead. That was literally John Podesta's strategy. It is virtually impossible for Trump to win in a landslide when 51% of the country wants him removed, and he has never had a day with an approval rating over 50%. You're going by the crowd size at a rally? How scientific.
    2
  5214. william henderson - Clinton and Obama won the popular vote all four times. Bush and Trump did not. At least Bush tried to reach across the aisle sometimes. Trump considers anyone who didn't vote for him an enemy of the state.
    2
  5215. Project much?
    2
  5216. We need another right-leaning network/cable news channel to compete with FOX News. Are there others? There are a lot on radio, but not TV. It would benefit both Liberals and Conservatives. I don't mean a FOX News clone, but a FACT-BASED news network with editorials and opinions that lean right about as much as CNN and MSNBC lean left, with anchors like Shep Smith and Chris Wallace. Put the Sean Hannitys and Tucker Carlsons out of business. Conservatives are not getting the truth, and my guess is they feel they have no alternatives because people like Hannity and Pirro have tricked them into believing all of the other MSM are "liberal". I can see how it happens. With all the cable and internet outlets out there, network is still going strong - especially with the older crowd, which tends to be more conservative. FOX has a lot of good programming. I imagine many conservative families leave their TVs on that one station a great deal of the time. They watch sitcoms, local FOX news, and then they hear, "Well, the left has done it again..!" and "What about Hillary?" and a bunch of right wing propaganda. To say ALL the rest are "liberal" media is ridiculous, considering there are many others - even PBS (partly government funded) and BBC (British) - that ALL report the SAME FACTS about the same obviously newsworthy topics. If you know the difference between fact and editorial, you can see that what Shep Smith reports isn't much different from CNN. Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday isn't very different from Meet the Press or PBS Newshour. FOX News gets away with their bullshit because they basically have a monopoly.

  5218. Naomi Ogle - Or CIA asset. Either that, or one of the dumbest idiots on the planet. But not the asset of a corrupt FBI. It's an FBI that was doing its job, and would catch even more hell if they had NOT used due diligence.

  5219. Giovanni Soave - In 2013, he was unwittingly recruited by Russian spies. One went to prison. One fled to Moscow. Then, a few years later, he was screwing around with Russians again. There's no proof, but reasonable suspicion dictates that he might have been working for the FBI or CIA.

  5220. trublu97 - ...and you have the nerve to talk about "known liars"? How many lies is Trump up to now? Over 9000.
    2
  5221. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  5222. An actual tweet by the President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen: "CNN and others in the Fake News Business keep purposely and inaccurately reporting that I said the “Media is the Enemy of the People.” Wrong! I said that the “Fake News (Media) is the Enemy of the People,” a very big difference. When you give out false information - not good!" Really? Seriously?

  5223. Rachel Madison - "So called felonies"? What the hell are you talking about? He was convicted by an actual jury, in an actual federal court, of 7 actual felonies, including lying to investigators, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering. There's no "so called" about it.

  5225. Every election is decided by a small segment of the population that can't make up its mind. We need a viable third party to get rid of the whole single issue voter problem.

  5228. On Bill Maher's show, Jim Carrey said, "There are generations growing up who are learning to hate half the country". Republicans embrace that war-footing mentality. It's our enemies' wet dream. Napolean said, "Divide and conquer". What's better than your enemies dividing themselves? Putin needs a divided US. Trump said NATO was obsolete, that the Chinese are more honorable than the Democratic leadership, and that Putin was a better leader than Obama! Roger Stone said the Dems are worse than the Russians.

  5236.  @rodgerdodger3167  Whatever. I barely even watch CNN. But go ahead, tell me what fact is inaccurate. Funny you should post that under a video with Kellyanne "Alternative facts" Conway. It's amazing how you people have the nerve to cry fake news in defense of the Trump Administration. You are aware that Trump is a prt oven habitual liar who has planted fake news stories in the press, right? You sound ridiculous.

  5237. Bribery and solicitating election help from a foreign government. Not just a candidate colluding with government surrogates this time, which was still illegal, but the US president bribing the president of Ukraine.
    2
  5238. Trump is desperate to keep a job he has no interest in doing. He's in his 70s and has more money than he could ever spend for the remainder of his life, but wants to spend his golden years working in a government he thinks is crooked among crooked people. He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.
    2
  5239. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  5240. COVID 19 is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, and it's contagious. We need to lock down PROPERLY. The way to save the economy is to do it right and get it over with ASAP. The rest of the world did it, but we refuse to adopt its strategies. Stop opening and re-closing schools and businesses. Stop taking every decline in COVID numbers as a sign that it's gone. If you refuse to stay away from crowds, AT LEAST wear a mask. Pick up good hygiene and distance habits.

  5242. Eli Baker - That's ridiculous. New York has all of those cases because it has a huge population and it's a major point of entry to the US. New York is a model for doing it right. How many cases do you think New York would have had if Trump was the governor? He couldn't even keep it out of the White House. But sure, by keeping everything open and encouraging people to ignore the virus, they would have had fewer cases, right? SMH.
    2
  5243. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  5246.  @jimmcdowell5131  If that were the case, many pardons would be invalidated, including Flynn's. Are you saying the DOJ mandates, but doesn't enforce it? Many people have been FOUND guilty and pardoned without ADMITTING guilt. This came into question when Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio, who wouldn't admit his guilt. Then, I thought it WAS supposed to mean you have admitted guilt, but I looked it up, and found out I was wrong. If it is DOJ policy, it is not being adhered to.
    2
  5247. That 46 minute, lie-laden rant shows he is COMPLETELY out of touch with reality. He will do ANYTHING he can to sabotage the country and the Biden Administration before he leaves office. He would pardon an entire prison in California, start a war with Iran, nuke New York...anything. He used to resent everyone except his loyalists and his base. Now, he resents EVERYONE, and wants revenge on the world for failing to recognize how wonderful he is.

  5249. FACTS: - The overwhelming majority of protesters are not rioters. Very few rioters are ANTIFA. There are many conservative protesters. - Most liberals support the 2nd Amendment. DEMOCRATS rejected Beto O'Rourke because he wanted to confiscate guns. - Virtually NO liberals want open borders. - Virtually no liberals are communist. There are TWO Democratic Socialists in all Congress. Democrats chose Biden, a centrist, over Sanders, the Democratic Socialist. - A disease is NOT inherently a political issue. The majority of states with spikes in COVID 19 have Republican governors. - There is virtually no individual voter fraud. Most times it has happened, it was done by Republican voters. Vote based on FACTS, not feelings, lies, and rumors.

  5250. Hply shit, you people are stupid. They aren't "pushing" anybody. Every time a candidate is on the news, whoever it is, a bunch of idiots will comment that they are pushing them. In two days, if it's another candidate, you'll say they're pushing them. Their editorial department will endorse one candidate. Until then, they're just reporting on an election, and the candidates themselves call the news outlets and ask for interviews. Is CNN supposed to say, "No, we don't want to interview you"?

  5251. It's absolutely disgusting how Republican lawmakers are using the EXACT SAME PROPAGANDA as the Russians!

  5252. It isn't like he hasn't shown us is for decades. Before he ran for president in 2016, he was lying about how many floors were in his buildings and calling talk shows pretending to be someone else. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. On 9/11, he said he now had the tallest building in Manhattan. Not only was that appalling, it wasn't even close to true. He was picking fights with Rosie O'Donnell over what was said on a ladies talk show. He was speculating about his infant daughter's legs and future breasts. During his campaign he made the "2nd Amendment people" crack. It was revealed he likes to pop a tic-tac and "grab 'em by the pussy". He asked Russia to hack our systems. He professed to know more about the Bible than anyone, and couldn't name a verse. He called for the execution of Ed Snowden while praising Wikileaks. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He boasted about being able to get away with shooting someone on 5th Avenue...and 60 million dumbasses said "Yeah. Let's make THAT guy president!" I didn't agree with Hillary Clinton calling a nebulous group of Republican voters deplorable. But it was no worse than the insults Trump has hurled at private citizens on an almost daily basis. Now that I see how these Trump supporters STILL support him, I say, yeah, they're deplorable.

  5254.  jack daniels  I never said Trump was funneling money into real estate. He is funneling it into his pocket. It's not a matter if evidence. It is a FACT that he is billing us for government business he is conducting at his properties. Most recently, he wants to put $2 billion in the COVID relief fund to keep the FBI building in DC in order to stop competition to his DC hotel down the street.

I wish they would, so they can pass voter rights legislation and stop that onslaught on the fundamentals of democracy.

  5260. Atheist Dingo  - What policies has Trump implemented that helped bring down the black unemployment rate? None. The unemployment rate in general is down. Obama cut it in half, from about 10% to about 5%. Under Trump, it's gone down .2%, so I'll give him that. But tax cuts for the 1% and gutting financial regulations (designed to prevent another crash) can only create a bubble, and it's going to burst.

    2
  5266.  @alanakafang6143  Oh, STFU with that "lamestream media" bullshit. Are you 12 years old? Yes, the media reported the facts, that there was NO proof of ANY of that. Not to mention, common sense debunks it. So, no, we aren't hypocrites. It makes YOU a PROJECTOR.

  5267. J.J Rangel - I'll deny proof? Try me. Show me some proof. Silly fuck, you have no idea who I am, and I doubt you could even explain how your conspiracy theory even makes sense.

  5268. J.J Rangel - I absolutely understand his ideas. I'm a liberal, New York Jew. I am far from an anti-socialist. I don't like that he LABELS himself a socialist, not that his ideas are socialist. I favor Medicare for all, but not free college for all. There is too much with Bernie for the Republicans to manipulate the oblivious swing voters into believing. Bernie is too divisive to the Dems, although it's not his fault. He might lose to Trump, or not be able to overcome Trumps INEVITABLE cheating. Dems need a landslide this time. That requires a centrist. I feel sorry for the Dem who wins by only a little, and has to deal with the Republican smear machine that will be in full force, suggesting that it was the Dems who will have cheated, and play gotcha for the next 4 years, appealing to a bunch of pissed off, ignorant, conspiracy theory pushing Trump followers.

  5273.  Don Rit  Trump held up funding and White House visits FOR PERSONAL GAIN, TO HAVE UKRAINE INTERFERE IN AN ELECTION. Biden did not. This isn't rocket science. Biden's actions were endorsed by the EU, the IMF, and the REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS.
    2
  5274. Republicans are trying to impeach Rosenstein now. Notice Trump said, "At some point I WILL" (get involved with the DOJ) during his Fox and Friends rant, not, "at some point I MIGHT". Mueller just asked for 2 more months before sentencing Flynn. Unless Mueller wants Comey-style drama 2.0, he'll have to do something big either well before or well after the November mid-terms. All hell is going to break loose soon.

He has called talk shows claiming to be someone else. Just in the past few days, he lied about the Chinese calling him about making a deal, and he repeated the lie about how much Congress appropriated for Puerto Rico. Donald Trump lied when he said he was unaware of those hush money payments. That has been proven. He became an unindicted co-conspirator in a case involving bank fraud that sent his personal lawyer to prison.He lied when he said he had no dealings with Russia during his campaign. He was trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that required approval from Putin himself. Trump was SEEKING FAVOR FROM RUSSIA WHILE RUSSIA WAS ATTACKING A US ELECTION IN HIS FAVOR. The Russians knew he was lying to us, and could use that to BLACKMAIL him. Trump continues to lie by saying the Mueller Report concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction. Trump has told 12,000 lies in the last 2 1/2 years. To give this some perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years.

What happens when those people age bitterly, not yet reaching their idealistic goals, get isolated and paranoid, all while their narcissism has them thinking the world begins and ends with them?
    2
  5282. Margo Bradley - "Longer"? Depends on what? Are you an American? If so, do you SUPPORT that? It only "depends" on if he makes some illegal power grab move. That's what we're worried about. Did you know he actually "joked" about the US becoming a one party system soon?

  5287. Montesama314 - Exactly. Ask what the catch is. These people aren't flying around from city to city to socialize. At first, while I believed there was collusion between Trump's camp and Russia, I thought it was probably a wink and a nod kind of arrangement, general and simple - "You help me get elected, and I'll give you what you want once I do". Now I see there were so many transactions involved. It was done so categorically. Lots of little transactions where each player did their part and got their payoff. Like the mafia outsourcing bits of a bigger crime.

  5292. You Trump followers cry "CNN lied! CNN lied!" like a parrot with turrets. Then, why can't you give an EXAMPLE of a lie? You can't. When you try to, you say one of two things: 1)- "They lie about everything". Okay then give an EXAMPLE. 2)- "They're biased". Bias is not lying. But if you insist that it is, then give an EXAMPLE. CNN is the McDonalds of news. It isn't gourmet. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. What you don't understand is the difference between FACT, ANALYSIS, and OPINION. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what journalism is. The FACTS are rarely wrong, and even when they are, that is called a MISTAKE, not a LIE. ANALYSIS is making sense out of facts for your consumption. It's making a burger out of raw beef. It's also for THEIR OWN consumption. McDonalds employees eat there, too. Even more than you, because they're there all day. OPINION is the answer to "How did it taste?" I know a lot of you are paid Russian trolls. More power to you. Sorry you live in a shit country where your leaders have you brainwashed, but at least you're doing it for your country and making a few rubles. What I'm concerned about are the brainwashed masses of American fools who buy into this crap, because YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are the biased, and foolish enough to do it for free. It's ironic that you defend a KNOWN HABITUAL liar who lies more often than most people urinate by crying, "CNN lies", and you can never give one example.

  5298. Manafort was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He offered polling data to the Russians. There is an inherent connection. He attended the Trump Tower meeting. That was conspiracy. The best you can say is that it was only an attempt to collude, and legally, a conspiracy doesn't have to succeed. It was a QUID PRO QUO with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade SANCTION RELIEF for DIRT on a political opponent. And it isn't like that was the only suspicious activity.

  5300. fasignal - SMH. Oh, then I guess that makes Trump innocent. Try not to blow all three of your brain cells on this. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

They did create the largest budget deficit in history. How can anyone with half a brain hear this as anything other than an old coot nonsensically rambling?

  5325. FACTS: - The overwhelming majority of protesters are not rioters. Very few rioters are ANTIFA. There are many conservative protesters. - Most liberals support the 2nd Amendment. DEMOCRATS rejected Beto O'Rourke because he wanted to confiscate guns. - Virtually NO liberals want open borders. - Very few American liberals are communist. There are TWO Democratic Socialists in all of Congress. Democrats chose Biden, a centrist, over Sanders, the Socialist. - A disease isn't inherently a political issue. The majority of states with spikes in COVID 19 have Republican governors. - There's virtually no individual voter fraud. Most times it has happened, it was done by Republican voters. Vote based on FACTS, not feelings, lies, and rumors.

  5330. To say Trump was tougher on Russia than any other President is laughable. Obama sanctioned them for invading Ukraine. Exxon/Mobile, a US oil company, could have made a $500 billion deal with a Russian oil company, but Putin invaded Ukraine, so Obama stopped the deal. Trump has been trying to LIFT sanctions. Mnuchin is trying to lift them on a Russian oligarch tied to the election meddling. The heat is on, yet they persist? Blackmail? Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was tougher on Russia than anyone. That's why Putin wanted her out of the running. Nobody can say Reagan was soft on them. Nobody has been easier on them than Trump.

  5331. SE Cupp is giving right-wingers ammunition. It's why they call the media at large "biased." Rep. Newman didn't display that flag to "celebrate LGBTQ rights," even if she is trying to pass legislation. She did it to trigger the Qanon deplorable across the hall. That said, after we heard "You just hated Trump from the beginning" for four years, Greene is trying to impeach Biden? Republicans are such hypocrites!

  5332.  joe guy  ....and I was CRITICIZING the media for an instance of bias. Duh.
    2
  5333.  joe guy  So? Did you criticize Trump for doing the same thing? By the way, drone strikes in the middle east INCREASED under Trump. Conservatives have been criticizing Dems constantly for not being tough on Iran, but now he bombs their terrorist infrastructure and that's wrong, too? Stop playing "gotcha". Four years of "You just hate Trump", and immediately after Biden is sworn in, it's nothing but criticism based on flimsy, twisted nonsense and things they excused and even praised Trump for!
    2
  5334.  @kneegerman2076  Yeah, there's a difference. Trump was guilty, and there was evidence. What are you saying Biden did with China, Ukraine, and Russia? It is reasonable to suspect and investigate when: - The President's supporters attacked the Capitol as he encouraged them to be outraged over a lie he was pushing. - Trump's actions, words, secrecy, and absurd excuses point to extortion when he claimed Ukraine should investigate his POLITICAL RIVAL to "show they aren't corrupt." (And why would he want a corrupt country to investigate a prominent American citizen?) - Russians attacked an election in Trump's favor as he encouraged and praised hackers, refused to criticize Russia, and 16 of his people lied and covered-up their meetings with Russian officials. - Trump refused to release his tax returns based on ridiculous excuses while insisting he "wanted to" release them, as real evidence of tax fraud was revealed. - Evidence is revealed that Hillary Clinton AND Trump staffers used private email for government business. It is NOT reasonable to suspect and/or investigate when: - Baseless, nebulous accusations and rumors of Biden's "corruption" with China propagate through the internet. - There's no sign of anything close to significant voter fraud, and no suspect or evidence a crime had occurred. - The Secretary of State signed-off on a uranium mining deal, a formality that she had little control over, and no evidence of impropriety. (It wasn't even brought up until years later when Clinton ran for President). - Isolated cases of individuals' bad conduct and text messages devoid of context do not at all suggest a vast, "deep state" conspiracy involving multiple agencies coordinating in ways that defy logic and common sense. - Obama was on a hot mic telling a Russian diplomat he'll have "more flexibility after the election," with no context or suggestion of impropriety whatsoever.
    2
  5335.  @kneegerman2076  It wasn't just Facebook ads. The Russians hacked 21 states' voter rolls. Paul Manafort gave the Russians internal polling data. They HACKED AND DISSEMINATED DNC EMAILS! Did you forget about that little tidbit?! They sent surrogates to New York to meet with Trump's top people, who eagerly received them. Biden did what he did in Ukraine as part of official government business, and everybody, including the IMF and the REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS supported what he did. He wanted a crooked prosecutor removed, (not an "AG." They don't have those). It was in the interest of the country, not his own personal political ambitions. Do you really think Trump was on a crusade against corruption in Ukraine and chose HIS BIGGEST POLITICAL RIVAL as the only target? Really? If he thought Ukraine was corrupt, why would he want a corrupt foreign country to investigate a prominent US citizen? I can't stand Trump, but there's no way I would want him sent off to a foreign country to face justice, much less a crooked one! Biden "got money" from those countries? And..? What does that mean? Got it from whom? FOR WHAT? Do you know how many countries Trump "got money" from? But I'm sure that's okay with you, right? - Trump's Treasury Secretary is already set up deals in Saudi Arabia after the administration refused to hold MBS to account for killing Kashoggi - a US resident and Washington Post journalist. - Trump personally made $5.6 million from Chinese, state-run companies during his term. - He LIED about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself wide open to blackmail. - He once said "The Saudis buy my properties. I'm supposed to hate them?" - He had people who wanted favors from him stay at his hotels. That's money that went right into his pocket! Of course billionaires try to influence elections by trying to control information. One of those billionaires is Rupert Murdoch, owner of FOX News, an outlet Trump coordinated with. He talked to Murdoch and Sean Hannity regularly. Imagine the outrage if Biden talked to Anderson Cooper every night. So, your fake indignation about corrupt influence is hypocritical and ridiculous.

What have the Republicans accomplished? Where is that "wonderful" new health care plan to replace ACA? Where is that infrastructure bill? The new North American trade deal still hasn't been ratified. The tax cuts (for the rich) aren't paid for. That's record deficit spending. The border is worse than ever, even with an emergency executive order, a $4.6 billion spending bill, and the National Guard down there. Republicans had complete control for 2 years, and still control the White House, the Senate, and have a conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

  5344. Trump is blaming the media and video games for these shootings. He's trying to use tragedy to pass immigration reform. Talk about politicizing. The media reporting on hate isn't hateful. Reporting on racism isn't racist. Trumpers cry bias, but only the biased say such absurd things. They should check their own hypocrisy. Trump has some nerve to cry "fake news" while he spreads it himself and lies on an habitual level. He's got some nerve to try to attach immigration laws to potential legislation inspired by a shooter who targeted immigrants. When Dems object to provisions about immigration, he wants to point to it and say, "See, they don't really want gun control".
    2
  5345. To equate the left's REACTION to Trump's hurtful rhetoric to the rhetoric itself is absurd. It's even worse to go farther, and condemn the left's reaction while excusing and defending Trump's rhetoric. It's hypocrisy and projection, plain and simple. Calling out hate is not hate, and calling out racism is not racist. The president's duty is to set the tone. Don't give me that "counterpuncher" crap. Trump is just a puncher. Period. It doesn't matter what his critics or the media do or don't say. He will ALWAYS sling mud regardless, and do it with the maturity of a 12-year-old. If Obama did and said half of what Trump does, the right would be outraged. There is historical, documented proof of that.

  5346. governmentcheese411 - Trump is reaping what he sowed. He has been warned REPEATEDLY by lawmakers, citizens, and the FBI that his rhetoric is dangerous. Then people got killed. What the fuck are we supposed to do? Just let it go?? Grow up.

  5347. If you say Clinton's oppo research was collusion, then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Don Jr said that was just oppo research. Unlike with the dossier, there was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade dirt for sanction relief. How was one wrong, and the other okay?
    2
  5348. I'll never get over the fact that Trump has the worst grammar and spelling skills of any POTUS in history, yet he founded a "university". He can't spell "they're", "smoke", or "border", yet he can't stay off of Twitter. But furthermore, if a POTUS is going to text message the world every day, shouldn't he at least have someone on staff PROOFREAD his tweets? Even the Kardashians do that! This is the same guy who, as a candidate, said, "I love the poorly educated!" Cult 45 members, that was an INSULT, you dimwits! And you voted for him? Covfefe.
    2
  5349. A little exercise to test your own bias: Think of every time you've defended Donald Trump and every issue on which you've criticized his opposition - Russia, COVID 19, media coverage, false statements, foreign affairs...If you search Google or Youtube, what do you type into the box? Now, on those same issues, replace his face with that of Obama or Hillary Clinton. Replace that R with a D. Do you find yourself rationalizing? I am confident that on 99% of those issues, you would take the OPPOSITE position. If you doubt me, just wait. When a Democrat is in the White House again, you'll find yourself being hyper-critical of that Democrat for issues on which you previously excused Trump, or you'll be saying "what about?" about the "what about?" I guarantee it.

  5361. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?

  5369. In 2016, Trump didn't expect to win, but he still claimed the election was rigged against him (while his people were taking help from the Russians). Then, he won, but still claimed it was rigged to contest the popular vote. (He claimed Clinton set up a massive undocumented voter scheme to win California - a state she had virtually no chance of losing anyway).
    2
  5370. He asked eight times to investigate a closed matter. No bribes? It's very possible he extorted the Ukrainians by holding back aid meant to resist his buddy, Putin's aggression. By the way, has Trump stopped bitching about the investigations into him?

  5373. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  5374. dskywalkerw - They were obviously armed. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.
    2
  5375. The deep state consists of only Democrats, even in apolitical agencies like the FBI. Half of them registered as Republicans years ago to go undetected. The deep state is all-powerful, but they let Republicans win elections so as not to arouse suspicion. They wanted Hillary to succeed Obama. With a 94% chance, they thought she'd easily win. But they had an "insurance policy". If she lost, they were ready to activate operatives in the FBI, CIA, DNI, DHS, NSA, the White House, the liberal media, social media, military intelligence, Australian and British intelligence, private digital forensics firms, and about a dozen other agencies. They forged reports, intercepts, emails, and wire transfers, careful not to arouse the suspicion of Republicans around them. Though these agencies couldn't ask what their employees' personal politics were, they found out which ones were Dems. And if they were Dems, they were loyalists who would never blow the whistle. Here was the plan: Even though it hurt Clinton's chances, they leaked the DNC's emails. Why? So that, even with a 6% chance, if Trump won, the deep state could frame him for colluding with Russia. They paid a research firm for a fake dossier, but didn't use it during the campaign. Why not? They know why. They got the FBI to reopen Clinton's prior email probe right before the election. Why? Again, they know why. Good thing, because Trump won! Now, all they had to do was link Trump to Russia with sham probes based on their fake intelligence. It turns out that 16 Trump associates had lied about 87 contacts with the Russians, including a meeting to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Trump's campaign chairman had been a lobbyist for Putin. But even though Trump was reaching out to Russia and Russia was reaching out to him, everything on both ends was legitimate. It was all just a big coincidence. Why did Trump lie about it so much? The deep state knows why. Now, the deep state is co-opting state-level law enforcement. SDNY, book-keepers, tabloid editors, auditors.., conveniently all deep state Democrats, to fabricate 17 investigations to show Trump is a crook. Does anyone really believe this shit?

  5377. This is not complicated. Half of the country is liberal. Most liberals think Trump is racist. Therefore, about half the country would think he is racist. Why the hell is that so hard to believe? Oh, yeah, because you idiots have this preconceived, unfounded notion that CNN is always lying to you. Well, it isn't even a CNN poll. It is Quinnipiac, an INDEPENDENT polling organization. But, let me guess, they're in cahoots with the liberal deep state, too, right?
    2
  5378. That's pure bullshit. They're simply interviewing a candidate during an election cycle. They aren't blocking Bernie. I've seen him on CNN more often than Klobuchar. Yang has no experience. He should run for Congress first. We don't need another president who has never been a mayor or city alderman in the highest office in the land as their first job in government. That "outsider" crap is way too overrated. Do you choose a doctor or a mechanic who has no experience?
    2
  5379. jeremy davis - Why should that be mentioned?
    2
  5380. Trump isn't choosing these cities based on facts on the ground. He's choosing them based on whether or not the mayor is a Democrat. Has he ASKED any of these city officials what they need? Has he IDENTIFIED what, specifically, they are doing wrong in "Democrat cities" that they are doing right in "Republican cities"? He won't even acknowledge the protesters have a just cause. He calls BLM a "hate symbol." 99.9% of the protesters are NOT vandalizing. He already has masses of fools neglecting to wear masks as a political statement. Are they going to let him equate racial justice with communism and violence?
    2
  5381. "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.

He has told over 11000 lies in 3 years, so to say "name ONE", you have to be so full of denial that it has rotted your brain. This is why we call you Trump defenders idiots.

"They're shredding ballots in my opinion, based on what I heard." - Donald Trump - He literally said he was basing his allegation on rumors. - No voting machine accepts duplicate ballots. - No poll worker in their right mind just shreds ballots, and to do so with a substantial number of Trump ballots would also mean shredding down-ballot votes. It would also mean eliminating the record that you voted at all. I get a letter every two years confirming in which elections I did or didn't vote. Shredding ballots would mean thousands of people being notified that their vote wasn't counted. - Dominion just walked in and switched out parts of voting machines? Really? Who is stupid enough to believe that? So, that was the plan all along - to corrupt the software, then after a spotlight will have been put on them, just waltz right in and remove the evidence days before the final certification? - I guess, to boot, the Dems got the word out to thousands of individual voters who moved recently that they should vote where they live, then drive across state lines to vote again where they used to live? And just like with people whose family members recently died, only Biden voters would do that? - In Georgia, votes were counted three times. The hand recounts matched the machine counts. - Signatures were audited. - There is no evidence supporting Trump's claims that GOP poll watchers were shut out of the process. - Officials have repeatedly debunked claims of dead people voting. In some cases, voters the campaign claimed were dead were not. In others, the voter's name was the same as or similar to a deceased individual. - The US Supreme Court has rejected Trump's case. - It's untrue that there were more votes than people in several parts of Michigan. In fact, 878,102 people voted for president in Wayne County which has a population of over 1.7 million. In Detroit, 250,138 people voted and there were 670,031 people in the city as of 2019. - The DOJ found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Nobody to charge with a crime. No evidence that a crime was even committed. - Though they alleged it publicly, Trump's lawyers did NOT claim fraud in court. - A statement issued from a joint group of election officials, including federal employees working in the Trump administration and for the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency, declared, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." - Over the course of the four weeks following the election, Trump sent around 500 tweets, 171 of which were flagged by Twitter for containing false or misleading information about the election.

  5402.  @jacquesrivette2956  Sometimes they're so absurd I feel compelled to point it out. That fool is trying to paint liberals as Nazis for a commonly used phrase, but ignores that his apparent idol repeated a phrase coined by an infamous genocidal Fascist. It's effed-up that this crap has gone from the internet into the mainstream. The paid trolls are indistinguishable from the American Conservatives and the Republicans in Congress.

  5404. TUBER SURFER - Wrong.— U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation statistics indicate that so far corporations have donated $270.8 million for Hurricane Harvey and Irma relief efforts in cash and in-kind donations, while the Maria tally currently stands at $32.4 million.

  5406. @irenelampert9244 - Yes, he ostensibly did. The clear implication was that a positive thing happened during the Jim Crow era. Plus, he's saying, "What I really said was..." and then repeats THE SAME THING. He could at least just say he misspoke and take the blame for his choice of words, but he blames THE LISTENERS, as if we're too stupid to know what he "means"...And that whole "I was just stating a fact. YOU took the implication" thing is downright insulting. If I said, "The economy was great under Hitler", what would be the implication? Depends on context, right? This guy can't even offer context. Get real.

  5410.  @votered698  Did you even read my post? No, it didn't target minorities. The American justice system in general disproportionately jails and kills minorities. It's laughable to compare Trump to Biden on race. That's like the ocean calling a puddle wet.

  5411. The Trump Foundation has been dissolved over what the New York AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". Trump wrote a check, from the charity's account, for $25k to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then blocked a lawsuit against Trump University. A donation to the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club.

  5415. Comparing the riots that broke out during BLM protests to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a ballpark full of Yankees fans with a couple of New Yorkers breaking into cars in the parking lot. The fact that BLM supporters are likely to be liberals isn't remotely the same as it being a partisan political issue. Right wing "logic" seems to be "Hollywood is mostly liberal. Most Democrats are liberal. Jussie Smollett is a Hollywood actor who conned people for a traditionally liberal cause. Therefore, Democrats support con-men."

  5418. Rebecca Sorensen - My hope is that enough Republicans might come around when the dozen or so criminal probes into Trump and his kids start revealing how much of a crook he is.
    2
  5419. 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.

  5422. trillary - Ever consider that Yang and Gabbard didn't try to get enough exposure on the network? If either of them called up CNN and asked to be booked, they would be booked. The lower ranking candidates just get less attention because they are lower ranking. Jeez, every comment here is about CNN being biased against whoever they like. It's ridiculous. Doesn't anybody know how to just watch the damn news anymore? This report was an analysis of the whole field. It wasn't about pushing or blocking any one candidate.

  5423. rolback - What does truth have to do with it? It's a subjective analysis piece. Why the hell are you even watching it if you're so sure they are untruthful. Go away.

  5424. Funny thing is, nobody would give two craps if Donald Trump wasn't their person of the year or even think about him at all until he calls attention to the fact that it's not him. He's such an extreme clinical narcissist!

  5425. Of course the habitual liar known for talking like that, who just a couple of weeks ago, undisputedly said Haitians "all have AIDS" and Nigerians won't "go back to their huts" said it!!!! Holy shit, there could not be a more clear cut case!
    2
  5426. Christ, I heard some Trump supporter slamming the Pope in the nastiest way just because he opposed Trump on one issue! Look, if Trump ran as a disrupter, an unconventional, different, controversial kind of candidate - and an outsider with no experience, what the hell do you and he expect?? This is madness!!

  5428. COVID 19 is going to become as permanent as the flu, but with a higher infection and death rate, because we did not lock down properly. We let it multiply too much, which means it will MUTATE into strains that will always be a step ahead of the treatments and vaccines.

  5436. Democrats are communists of tomorrow - That doesn't make any sense. We know who set up the meeting. Even if it was fake, they took the meeting that they "thought" was about Russian GOVERNMENT support for Trump. They didn't call the FBI. The dossier was not what started the probe, and Fusion GPS doesn't tell its clients how they gather information.
    2
  5437. I know it's starting to seem normal, but Trump is OPENLY conspiring with members of the Ukrainian government to get re-elected! When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

  5440. And Trump is the least racist person. Nobody respects women more. He had the biggest election victory ever. He's a stable genius. Nobody knows more about technology. He knows more about the military than the generals...everything he says is the extreme end of the oppisite thing.

  5441. Name one fact they made up.
    2
  5442. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  5448. America doesn't need another hero. We don't need a king. We don't need someone to create exitement. We don't need an idealist. We need a MANAGER. President is a MANAGEMENT position. We'll be a lot better off when we realize that.

  5449. Isn't it back-asswards that we now have the internet, where all of this information is literally at our fingertips, and yet, people tend to zero-in to what they want to hear, and not what they should want to know? Reality is not absolute. It's only a loosely agreed-on set of facts. But if everyone reverts to their own comfort zones, everyone becomes isolated from everyone else. That's ironic to me.

  5452. Thomas Washburn Jr - The polarization started in 1996 when FIX News premiered. They aren't conservative media. They're alternative media with "alternative facts."

  5453. Martin Dread - Fake? Name a few lies they told. Did you mind when Trump lied over 25,000 times in four years? Fakeness and dishonesty don't bother you. The left bothers you because YOUR biased media brainwashed YOU. A blind man could see that from space.
    2
  5454. dq machine - Only 15% of the population supports defunding the police, and most of that 15% doesn't want defunding, but rather restructuring. It wasn't even the idea of politicians. It was the idea of activists in the wake of George Floyd's murder. It's just yet another straw man argument by the right. What the progressives need to learn is to refrain from idiotic statements like that. They should have known how it would be received.
    2
  5455. Conspiracy theorists like the ones that implicate their own government. It may explain why they choose the irrational "deep state" conspiracy over the big, juicy, much more likely Trump/Russia scandal. It may be a reason why Trump sold himself as an outsider to the government. What a waste. If they "switched sides", those minds (as messed-up as their minds are), could be working for our country, not against it. More importantly, the pandering Republican lawmakers would also be working for, and not against us. I get it. It's a defense mechanism to show they won't be fooled by those who have power over them. Isn't that ironic?
    2
  5456. I think Trump is trying to position himself to be able to fire Mueller if they close in on him too tight. He'll use one of these Nunes stunts as an excuse. It won't work.

  5459. Let's keep this health care debate in perspective. I'm a liberal, but that doesn't mean I'm a raging socialist who automatically trusts the government to handle things. I just want bang for my tax buck. Yes, I think Medicare for all is a good idea in principle, but would the government fuck it up? To SOME DEGREE, they absolutely will. But why are we here trying to come up with solutions now? Because the private health care system is not working. We should definitely criticize liberal candidates' health care plans and worry about those candidates' electability against Trump, but remember - Trump didn't worry about it. He simply gave us the bullshit promise that, "It'll be something wonderful. Everyone will be covered, and for less". He flat-out LIED and said he would protect pre-existing condition protections while proceeding to gut them. I don't necessarily vote for presidents based on their proposed plans. Life happens while you're making plans. I vote based on their ABILITIES. I just want them to be there when shit happens, and shit WILL happen. Yes, they should make plans and have visions, but know that things will change and complications will arise.
    2
  5460. It's amazing how two people so different could get elected to the same position back to back - and how many who voted for Obama turned around and voted for Trump. Listen to this interview - thoughtful, articulate, and selfless. Then think about a Trump interview. "I'm the greatest ever. Me, me, me. They're the worst ever. They hate you and want to destroy you." The politics of grievance. Everyone is mad and frustrated about something, often mad and frustrated at themselves. Trump just gave his following an excuse to take it out on "the others among you, the liberals. I'm the only thing that stands between you and certain doom." Effective for winning elections. Horrible for governing once they win.

  5463. 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.
    2
  5464. Jester Avrgjoe - Trying to appoint your own judge is dictatorial. So is attacking the free press and the justice system. Sorry you're so triggered, but maybe you should listen to the valid concerns people have about this president. We've been saying this stuff from the beginning. How many times can you people keep having to use technicalities and grasp at straws to find reasonable doubt?

  5468. I don't know why it took a pandemic to start the trend. We've had the technology for a while.

  5469. This is insane. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, a VICTIM of the Russian hacks. - Is he saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? He STILL won't believe the CIA and FBI? Think he's going to safeguard our elections saying that? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. Does it matter why the DNC outsourced the forensics? It makes no sense that they would leak their own emails. We know THE RUSSIANS DID IT. Once and for all, Trump needs to take a position and stick to it. We should DEMAND that! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in. It's reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that. Then he talks about law and order?? Now, they're barely holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Do we say, "Oh, that's just Trump"? You like Trump, so you don't care that we can't be confident that our elections are fair? If so, just wait. Your boy is screwed. - The Russians are still running their game. They're spreading propaganda, painting Mueller and the FBI as crooks. That's to be expected. But Trump is still working in concert with them. He should be warning them, and warning us about them. He's dumb, but he knows better. When did this become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

  5470. Hs Hs - Oh, then Bill Clinton should get a few years back, too.
    2
  5471. He made the biggest last minute push before the caucus. His numbers had been on the rise. He's from Indiana, which makes him somewhat more appealing to Iowans than the rest, (Sanders will do better in New Hampshire). Biden has been losing support that may have gone to Pete. And maybe he just had as good message. Unless you have proof of something, go with the he most obvious explanations first.
    2
  5472. There was plenty of probable cause for the FBI counterintelligence probe into Russian interference. It was their DUTY. There was probable cause for the FISA warrant on Carter Page, and for the Mueller probe. There was nothing illegal about Dems hiring the oppo research firm, Fusion GPS, a firm first hired by the Republicans. There was no quid pro quo between the author of the dossier and the Russian government. Trump calls these "witch hunts" as he does nothing but engages in witch hunts himself.

  5482. Brian Smith - Outsmart? WTF are you talking about? All she did was display a chart and point out the obvious. He made himself look stupid, and it was an unforced error. There is no need to argue about Obama's economy, but Trump is a petty, insecure, immature man-child who can't help himself.

  5494. Manchin and Sinema are opposing EVERYTHING the Dems do, even opposing bills that have virtually all Democratic and half Republican support. How does that make any sense? Maybe they're on the take? If they're going to side with Republicans 100% of the time, why should Arizonans and West Viginians even want them there? Democrats, DON'T SUIPORT THEIR REELECTION. PRIMARY THEM!
    2
  5495. M Hall - Why do you people use that idiotic talking point? The Dixiecrats haven't been around for decades. Every racial hate group in the US supports Republicans. Around 90% of Black people vote Democrat. So, cut it out. You sound ridiculous.

  5498. Even if you don't like how the FREE press reports FACTS, it is necessary for an informed citizenry, which is crucial to democracy. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You can't focus on CNN, and ignore that ALL of these outlets report the SAME FACTS. You can't act like every piece of suspicious behavior has to be a "smoking gun" or else it is has no merit. There is a HUGE circumstantial case here. Furthermore, if Mueller totally absolves Trump, but proves half his staff colluded with Russia, you cannot say, "See, it was a witch hunt". We HAVE TO find out what happened.
    2
  5499. Center Reps - From the beginning, I was wondering why Trump never suggested that might be the case - that maybe his staff colluded, but not him. He has thrown everything ELSE against the wall to see if it stuck, even the things that contradicted the other things. I thought maybe he was saving it for a last resort. Looks like that might be the case.

  5505.  @USMCasper  - The stockpiles Trump had 3 years to replenish? If the shoe was on the other foot, would you really be blaming Trump if he left the stockpiles empty and Obama came after him and did all of the things Trump did? Hell no, you wouldn't, and you know it.

    2
  5507. People tend to feel like they have to have an opinion, they have to form it immediately, and can never back off of that opinion. The weaker the argument, the more they get defensive and double down on it. And rarely does anyone ever concede an argument in the moment. They separate, then maybe later, come back with, "I guess you had a point," or something similar.

  5510. Notice the Trump re-election strategy going on. He is putting the focus on those four freshman Congresswomen. He is trying to paint them as the radical, socialist, "communist" leaders of the party. This is to exploit divisions within the party, and to take focus from the top four candidates who are RUNNING AGAINST HIM, and who are beating him in the polls. By using xenophobic and racist comments, he stirs up his base and paints his real challengers as radicals at the same time. Division between the left and right halves of the Democratic party means there are more ideas to argue. I'll take that over those lock-step, homogeneous, one-trick pony, Trump sycophant Republicans.

"(The press) is the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, even AFTER a man used that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump endorses police brutality. He endorses violence against opponents. I know Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of his words. They switch between saying his words are literal and figurative - whichever is convenient. But the MESSAGE is what counts. They know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is doing. They know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words.

  5522. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he could lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was created by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7 without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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 the time being. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. That is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  5528. I think they relax the rules because the President said it. Trump doesn't have a clue about why that is.

  5534. teddy like - The victim isn't Ukraine, it's the American people. Zelinsky said we SHOULDN'T hold back aid on condition of investigations, not that Trump didn't. It wasn't "heresay". Witnesses testified to firsthand knowledge of what was going on in the State Department, NSC, and the White House. The phone call was only one piece of evidence, and Trump has blocked everyone from testifying and turning over documents. The people at OMB, the money handlers have been silenced by Trump, and reports say they will further corroborate the testimony. The idea that this was legitimate anti-corruption policy is laughable for so many reasons. The Mueller Report absolutely did NOT prove innocence. FAR from it. Mueller detailed 10 instances of corruption, and specifically said he could not clear Trump of that. Adam Schiff has not been caught lying. Trump, however, has been caught lying 13,000 times! Are you okay with that? How do you have the nerve to talk about anyone lying in defense of an habitual liar like Trump? Oh yeah, jyst ignore it, huh? No procedural statute has been violated, and Republicans have a lot of nerve to complain. For two years when they held the House, they sabotaged every effort to investigate Russian interference for fear that it would lead back to Trump, and it did. We have the RIGHT to free and fair elections, and Trump has the DUTY to protect us from foreign interference. He has the nerve to pretend he cares about it by pushing a NONSENSE conspiracy theory about the DNC colluding with Ukraine to hack THEIR OWN EMAILS? How does that make any sense? Trump doesn't trust the CIA, but trusts the crooked Ukrainian government to investigate ITSELF? He literally has lost the most campaign staff, White House staff, and cabinet members of ANY other president, and he's fighting corruption? In Ukraine? Only with Joe Biden? By removing an ambassador whose job was to fight corruption and fill that role with his personal attorney and two INDICTED thugs who aren't even a part of the government??

  5537. This is ridiculous! Trump started the petty, losing argument that he has "saved" the economy from the non-existent failures of Obama. It's a false talking point, and it never even had to be addressed. Because of that, an endless parade of people continue to go on the news and humiliate themselves unnecessarily, all because the president has self-esteem problems. The chart is right there for all to see, yet this doofus goes on TV and desperately talks over Poppy Harlow to stop her from pointing out the obvious facts. Why bring it up at all? Then, in order to divert from his losing argument, he starts ANOTHER losing argument - that Obama raised the debt - only to be told the fact that Trump is raising it at a higher rate. Trump promised to eliminate the debt in 8 years. When his advisors told him it was projected to rise over the next 8 years, the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" said, "I don't care. I'll be gone then". His tax cuts are pure deficit spending. This is so STUPID and unnecessary.

  5545. 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. He gave them polling data. 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.

  5546. Nancy Rocks - What does it matter what is more or less of a threat? It's a DIFFERENT threat. Both domestic corruption AND foreign interference are threats. Of course "taking billions of dollars" is a threat. And Trump is a thief. But, keep ignoring all of the fraud we are rightfully suspicious of. Don't be concerned about why he is lying about why he won't release his taxes. 9000 lies in 2 years is no big deal, right? Why be suspicious of someone whose charity is being probed for what the NY AG calls "A shocking pattern of illegality"? I'm pretty sure you'd have the torches and pitchforks out if Obama had been caught jaywalking. Can you honestly say you'd be okay with Obama doing a fraction of what Trump does?

CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, ballot audits, multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy, a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead.

  5561. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

  5569. So, on The First 48, or one of those reality crime shows, a detective is watching his partner interrogate a suspect in another room on a monitor. The suspect says something to incriminate himself. If the detective watching pumps his fist and says, "Yeah! We got that son of a bitch!", is that bias? Should they shut down the investigation? What about when they're at the cop bar after work? What do off-duty detectives talk about? What if you were spying the cops and listening for them to say things you can point to as bias? What if you had the legal power to obtain all of the cops' texts and emails? And you STILL can't find anything except the words "secret society" and "insurance policy" - not just taken out of context - but providing no context at all, only the suggestion that it sounds nefarious. It has a shady feel to it. WTF?? This is what Sean Hannity is having a hissy fit over? They're going the Mark Fuhrman route and trying to discredit the cops. But where Fuhrman was prejudiced against blacks, supposedly the FBI is prejudiced against... Republicans? No. Mueller, Rosenstein, McCabe, Comey, and Ray are all Republicans....just biased against Trump? Yeah. There's a whole deep state secret society out to get Trump because he's so sincere and he just keeps it too real. Do you Trumpers ever consider the possibility that Trump is trying to hide something here and knows he has broken the law? That just maybe this Russia investigation isn't just a good idea, but it is NECESSARY?

Remember, GW Bush got re-elected, then left office with a 28% approval rating. Republicans started acting like he never existed.

I could go item by item and show you how ridiculous everything you wrote is, but you are clearly too hopelessly brainwashed and unwilling to listen to logic and common sense.

  5607. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  5609. New York and California got it first and hard because of population, and the fact that they are major points of entry from overseas. The second wave, (hard to tell from the first), is coming up from the South because people won't take the precautions the rest of the world did. The Republican president and Republican governors are greatly exacerbating the problem.

  5612. Yes, the cop in Atlanta is racist, but he did NOT EXCUSE THE SHOOTER! This is nuts. He was asked about the shooter's motive. He CLEARLY conveyed that it was a "bad day" that made him snap. That means it looks like he snapped as opposed to methodically planning his attack. HOW IS THAT AN EXCUSE?? Biden was criticized for "excusing" China's concentration camps when he was CLEARLY just explaining the mentality of the Chinese. He was simply telling us what THEIR EXCUSE is. We aren't going to understand these peoples' motives if we decide their motives are what fits our narrative. Liberals - THIS WILL BACKFIRE. Keep it up, and we'll lose elections to Republicans who don't give a rat's ass about solving these problems. It isn't hard to see why many White, straight men think they are being blamed for everything, and I'm NOT EXCUSING their ignorance. I'm EXPLAINING it. It's not complicated.

  5613. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

  5614. The case against Trump is cut an dry. Anyone who argues otherwise KNOWS they are full of shit, no matter how dumb or naive they may be.
    2
  5615. It isn't like he hasn't shown us for decades. Before he ran for president in 2016, he was lying about how many floors were in his buildings and calling talk shows pretending to be someone else. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. On 9/11, he said he now had the tallest building in Manhattan. Not only was that appalling, it wasn't even close to true. He was picking fights with Rosie O'Donnell over what was said on a ladies talk show. He was speculating about his infant daughter's legs and future breasts. During his campaign he made the "2nd Amendment people" crack. It was revealed he likes to pop a tic-tac and "grab 'em by the pussy". He asked Russia to hack our systems. He professed to know more about the Bible than anyone, and couldn't name a verse. He called for the execution of Ed Snowden while praising Wikileaks. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He boasted about being able to get away with shooting someone on 5th Avenue...and 60 million dumbasses said "Yeah. Let's make THAT guy president!" I didn't agree with Hillary Clinton calling a nebulous group of Republican voters deplorable. But it was no worse than the insults Trump has hurled at private citizens on an almost daily basis. Now that I see how these Trump supporters STILL support him, I say, yeah, they're deplorable.

  5617. I came up with a drinking game. It's simple. Turn on FOX News. Every time one of those douchbags says "the left", the first one to say "bullshit" gets to make everyone else take a shot...but if they said "the left" in a non-derrogatory way, the one who calls bullshit has to take two shots. (That won't happen). Within ten minutes, everyone will be wasted - even the person quick with the "bullshit" calls - because they'll drink anyway. Who can take ten minutes of that shit sober?

  5618. Kor Kalba - Trump wanted to send Joe Biden, a prominent American, former Senator and VP, to Ukraine - a country he acknowledged has a crooked legal system - to face manufactured charges. He ran a campaign based on locking up another political rival, a prominent former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Trump wanted to send an Ambassador to Russia from the Obama Administration to Russia so Putin could jail, and most likely torture him. I hope Trump gets the book thrown at him.
    2
  5619. If Trump was a Democrat, if he was Hillary or Obama, his followers would condemn him harshly for the things they defend him for. That is OBVIOUS, and they KNOW IT. How do they explain this hypocrisy? This double standard? Oh, that's right, they simply DON'T explain it. They say, "You're just a 'hater'!" or they say, "What about [insert liberal here]?" The sad part is that when Cult 45 breaks, and it will, the followers will say, "Donald who?" When the Democrats take over and have to clean up the mess, FOX News will be blaming them, like after the Iraq war, after Bush left office with a 28% approval rating. "George W who?"

  5623.  @rosavalentinaa  Duh, okay. Have anything with substance to say, dimwit? Yeah, a virus is a political thing. Sure. My comment was correct. The idiot I was correcting practically admitted that with his moronic attempt to change his original assertion as if it isn't right here in black letters, so your comment is especially dumb.
    2
  5624.  @rosavalentinaa  Well, since Biden obviously is not incoherent, your little insult lands flat. That talking point is ridiculous, considering Trump can't EVER form a complete sentence or refrain from going on tangents. His vocabulary is atrocious. Incoherent? You obviously have a comprehension problem. You are an idiot.
    2
  5625.  @rosavalentinaa  I already explained this. It was a slow recovery after a bad recession, so "slow" compared to what? I don't get these numbers from CNN, but CNN reports the sane numbers as everyone. The numbers are the numbers, period. Obama had better economic numbers in his last 3 years than Trump did in his first. That is a fact. Trump is raising the debt at a higher rate than Obama, who did it to get out of the Great Recession, and Trump and the GOP set a record high budget deficit to give tax cuts to the rich while raising taxes on the poorest. Fun Fact: Trump actually said he didn't care about the debt rising over the next 8 years because he'd "be gone by then".

  5634. Carlos Vacano - You're right about, and I was consciously aware of the fact that I am no professional psychiatrist. But a main point I was trying to make is precisely that we have been subject to Trump's personality across many media, daily, for a couple of years now, and a personality like his, and, I'll put it in all caps again - his JOB DESCRIPTION begs psychoanalysis. That's because, contrary to your assertion, it is not trivial at all. He is POTUS, and his words and character matter. Also, if you noticed, I quoted Bill Maher. I'm a huge fan who thinks a lot like he does. He had a show called "Politically Incorrect" for a time. If you're familiar with him, you've noticed that one of the few subjects he breaks with liberals on is political correctness. I am the same kind of liberal. I don't like too much PC. I'm not oblivious at all to that. I get that Trump supporters think he "speaks his mind". They confuse that with HONESTY. Trump is far from the first politician, (and he became a politician the moment he started running for office), to run as the "outsider" who is "just another common guy like us". They've been doing that "roll up your sleeves" gimmick in political ads since the beginning of time. How a New York billionaire won over a bunch of people in the fly-over states who are usually natural enemies of that type, I can only explain by pointing out that he is a lying con man. And he did need the help of the Russians, by running against a candidate with high negatives, and by chance, after an honest mistake by James Comey. He still BARELY won. He lost by 3 million popular votes. That's far from a landslide like he claims. It was by the proverbial skin on his teeth. That mean he had no mandate. It means he should be governing, like I said, from the CENTER. But again to my point - He doesn't understand the JOB DESCRIPTION. He acts like his presidency is a reality show. He is better suited to be an entertainer.

  5635. Carlos Vacano - By the way, about Hillary Clinton, search YouTube for "Bill Maher Notorious HRC", if you want a smart liberal's explanation about why we should have elected her over Trump.

  5636. Carlos Vacano - 5 out of 3000+, huh? I can't rank them off the top of my head, but the most recent reminder was earlier today when there was the footage of him saying he had no deals in Russia or any that COULD HAPPEN in Russia. That was while he was negotiating for a Trump Tower in Moscow. We can't have a blackmailable president. He promised not to mess with pre-existing conditions in his health care plans... or Medicare. He lied about payoffs to a porn star. Goes to the style in which he operates. He flat-out lied about conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia. He lies about virtually EVERY statistic he cites. He won't stop lying about the funds Obama unfroze and the settlement we owed Iran during the nuclear deal negotiations, calling it a ransom. Not even close... It was just reported today that he lied at a rally, making up names and crimes of illegal immigrants... Google it. They have it categorized - Washington Post Trump 3000 lies.
    2
  5637. Carlos Vacano - It is very clear Trump supporters don't care about how much he lies. And it's pretty hypocritical for any of you who cite Obama's lie about liking and keeping your doctor. That's the one most if them cite if asked to cite an Obama lie because there were so few. With Trump, there were over 3000 at the 466 day mark.

  5640. The_Angry_Raccoon - I wouldn't think there would be much about Russia in the book. Trump and his people are dumb, but dumb enough to talk about it in front of the author? Maybe. You really should educate yourself on how much evidence there is mounting against him and his associates. There is tons of it, no matter how loud and frequent you people deny it. I'm counting about ten counts of obstruction on Trump alone - not to mention Don Jr, Trump's lawyer, the lawyer from the OLC, Devin Nunes. They're obviously looking hard into money laundering. They got Manafort on that, and you know the Trump and Kushner families are shitting bricks. I'd say 9 associates lying/omitting info about Russian contacts after Trump said there were none is some important circumstantial evidence. And it wasn't just Trump's son meeting with a lawyer at Trump Tower. That was COLLUSION. Don Jr ADMITTED IT. adoptions (sanction relief) for dirt on his opponent - with agents of the Kremlin. Tell me how that ISN'T collusion?
    2
  5641. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  5649. So, let me get this straight. It's summer, 2016. Clinton and Trump win their primaries. Clinton is heavily favored to win the general election. So, she goes to the head of the CIA and says, "I need you to start fabricating intelligence documents and intercepts so that, in case I lose, we can stick it to Trump". Brennen says, "Sure. Why not". Then, Clinton and Brennen go to the FBI, the DNI, DHS, The White House, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and about a dozen other intelligence services and ask them to do the same - fabricate evidence, documents, intercepts, etc., and they all say, "Sure". They go to Facebook and Twitter, and have them cook their books to make it look like Russians paid for ads. Hundreds, if not thousands of people get in on this conspiracy, and they're all cool about it. Nobody informs. Nobody gets caught.

  5650. It's funny how a lot of Spanish, Italian, and English words, (Latin roots?), are so close to each other, I wonder why they changed at all. But they do change, and so do the things they describe. It's one reason why the US shouldn't have an official language. It has to have fluidity. That said, using the terms "nothing burger" and "no there there" should be punishable by death. Nothing political. Just because they sound so stupid and don't make sense.

There's no legal purpose for them. Silencers are illegal for that reason. When do you legally need one? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible, rational people, but AR-type rifles attracted a different type.

  5664. Reyginald Aarestrup - What are you talking about? No proof unless we read the Mueller report? Yes, it's in the Mueller report. There is a ton of proof, not the least of which is that Trump's people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Roger Stone, convicted on 7 felony counts today, bragged about being in touch with the hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. Trump, himself, and 16 of his associates lied about over 140 Russian contacts, and said there was NO contact at all. Collusion isn't even a question. They colluded. Trump was not charged with conspiracy because you can't indict a sitting president, and Mueller couldn't prove Trump wasn't just too dumb to INTEND to conspire.

  5667. Trump's racist history Notice the legal judgements and direct quotes that he has said publicly and admits to saying. Before you Trump followers say, "What about Biden?" I'll say that any reasonable person can see that the unintended consequences of the '94 crime bill - that Biden admits was a mistake - and Biden's few, well-intended, awkward racial gaffes don't even start to compare to Trump's racist history, for which he is unapologetic. If you use whataboutism and say "Dems are the racists who started the Klan," I'll point out 1)- How long ago that was. 2)- Dems always get around 90% of the black vote. 3)- Literally every racial hate group in America supports Republican politicians and candidates. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

  5669. I don't blame Trump followers for Trump. They have been conned. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to pay enough attention to the zhit show of US politics to educate themselves on how things work. I can't blame Russia for Trump. Putin is bad guy, but he and his trolls are doing it for their own country. I can't really even blame Trump, himself. Where there's power, there will always be people like him trying to gain and exploit it. I BLAME HIS REPUBLICAN ENABLERS. Elected and appointed Republicans were supposed to keep him in check. If Obama or Clinton had done and said what Trump has, Republicans would be as outraged as us liberals. I am SURE of that.

  5671. Notice in the clip that Trump made a veiled threat to FOX News. He said that he has power over the debates they host on their network. So, is he saying that he wants them to FAKE their polls to make him look more favorable? Seems to me, legitimate poll numbers just are what they are. It is an actual fact that Trump paid for fake online polls in 2016. Imagine that - the liar who cries "fake news" all the time is a faker. Also, remember he actually told his voters it was okay to cheat in his favor and vote twice. One Trump voter got caught doing just that.

DEMOCRATS rejected Beto O'Rourke because he wanted to confiscate guns. - Virtually NO liberals want open borders. - Virtually no liberals are communist. There are TWO Democratic Socialists in all Congress. Democrats chose Biden, a centrist, over Sanders, the Democratic Socialist. - A disease is NOT inherently a political issue. The majority of states with spikes in COVID 19 have Republican governors. - There is virtually no individual voter fraud. Most times it has happened, it was done by Republican voters. Vote based on FACTS, not feelings, lies, and rumors.

  5681. @N 827 - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  5701. Debating a Trump follower is like debating a Christian about evolution. They're one way talkers. There's no exchange of ideas. Christians always come back to "But Jesus said [insert scripture here]". Trump followers always come back to [insert deep state conspiracy theory and/or regurgitated talking point here]", and I wind up looking for new ways to describe what should be so obvious that it shouldn't need articulation. With Christians, I can just say, "You believe what you want, and so will I." Then I thank God I live in a secular country. But with Trump cultists, I think, "Your blind faith is screwing up the country that's just as much mine as yours." Ironic how a liberal like myself becomes conservative, and vice-versa. Trump is hastily trying to force change on all of us without a care about the concerns of over half the country. He wants to "tear down the administrative state" with no plan to improve it. If you doubt that, look at the health care plan, the "something wonderful", with which he promised to replace the ACA after tearing it down. Liberals like myself want to refer back to the bedrock Constitution before recklessly destroying all of the norms and protocols. That's why I'm not a big Bernie fan. He wants a revolution, too. I doubt it, but his plans could fail miserably. At least he HAS a plan. He's a lot more honest and experienced than Trump. But who knows? Maybe he's also just an old narcissist who thinks he's always right, and wants to prove it to the world before he's forced into retirement. What's my point? I...forgot...(Damn, this is some good weed)...Oh yeah, we need a smart, middle-aged, middle American, experienced moderate in the White House to unite the country before Tump destroys it. That's why I want Amy Klobuchar to be President. We don't need another hero. This country just needs a good MANAGER. A uniter, not a divider. (If she promises to legalize weed by executive order like Bernie did, I bet she could beat the huge pants off of Donald "I don't need drugs, I get high on power" Trump.

  5702. To equate the left's REACTION to Trump's hurtful rhetoric to the rhetoric itself is absurd. It's even worse to go farther, and condemn the left's reaction while excusing and defending Trump's rhetoric. It's hypocrisy and projection, plain and simple. Calling out hate is not hate, and calling out racism is not racist. The president's duty is to set the tone. Don't give me that "counterpuncher" crap. Trump is just a puncher. Period. It doesn't matter what his critics or the media do or don't say. He will ALWAYS sling mud regardless, and do it with the maturity of a 12-year-old. If Obama did and said half of what Trump does, the right would be outraged. There is historical, documented proof of that.

  5710. The GOP, with Trump as their steroid, has been using the simple, yet effective strategy of GRIEVANCE politics. They don't care about engaging with the opposition. Everyone is angry and stressed about something - often angry with themselves. Then they tell them, "It's the OTHERS among you who are causing your grief, and only we stand between you and their attempts to destroy you." Then their base thinks, "Yeah, I'm not mad about my job, my wife, or my crappy car. It certainly can't be MY own fault. It's the liberals! Those elite liberals on the coasts where the grass is greener." They give the GOP a free pass to do whatever they want, and don't care if Republicans are working for them effectively or even if they're being lied to, because to them anything is better than those "evil" Democrats and the "evil" media. Any solution must include knowledge of how things actually work - Like how a news story is developed from conception to birth. What an agency does and whether it's inherently political or not. How voting machines and vote tallying works. The difference between politics and governing. Why a virology lab exists in Wuhan... The level of ignorance in America is astounding, and those who abuse power depend on that ignorance.

  5711. Peter Bills - Gore conceded, that was 500 votes in one state, and he never claimed fraud. (And the Governor of Florida was Bush's brother.

She said she was not disputing the result, but just wanted to point out problems in one state.

  5713. -The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 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. - 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 140 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  5714.  @jeanniejones8854  Why wouldn't they be for Biden? Trump called them the enemy of the people. They didn't do anything to Bernie. They gave him plenty of airtime. Bernie lost because, contrary to that ridiculous talking point, liberals do not overwhelmingly want socialism.

  5717. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible rather than fudge numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means less MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, tell me - How a fake poll helps a candidate?

  5730. High crimes and misdemeanors is very broad. Misdemeanor isn't a class of crime in this context. It doesn't mean "felonies and misdemeanors". That would mean any crime. If the president decided to stop doing his job, and hang around the White House, drinking and watching TV all day, who would argue that wouldn't be impeachable? But it wouldn't be a crime. I'm pretty sure the founding fathers meant you should only impeach for good reason, whether crimes are committed or not.

  5731. Sharon Bodimeade - Dems can't decide whether to risk emboldening him with a failed impeachment or beat him at the ballot box. They think they can't make a strong enough case to get the Trump cultists on board, but it's through the impeachment process that they can get more facts out about Trump's crookedness - subpoenas, redacted material and tax returns. I think they should do it. There are risks with running against him, too. Risks I don't think they've considered. But if you're a hammer, you think everything is a nail. If you're a politician, you think everything is about winning an election.

  5733. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  5734. When Trump says, "Mueller isn't looking at the other side", he shows how he fundamentally doesn't understand how things work. What "other side"? He is referring to Democrats - the "other side" in POLITICS. The other side in JUSTICE, in a potential case against him, is the Mueller team. Mueller is looking at what happened with Russia and the 2016 election IN GENERAL, whether it leads to the Trump campaign or not. He doesn't see that RUSSIA is on the other side of the US there. The US, you know, the country he is supposed to be defending! And why is he so sure Mueller is against him, anyway? Does it occur to him that Mueller could clear him? He clearly believes the report will be damning, so he is using the only defense he can - "witch hunt", even though he hasn't been charged with anything. At every turn, he does what a guilty person would do. It should bother everyone that he refuses to realize basic fundamentals, even after he has surely been advised of these things.

  5738. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  5739. So?

  5740. Big cities usually contain at least part of two Congressional districts, and each has a mayor. Each state has two Senators and a governor. Sometimes those positions are held by a Democrat, sometimes a Republican. Urban blight and crime doesn't just appear or disappear every inauguration day. This should be so obvious it doesn't need to be explained. Trump is pushing this idiotic narrative that Democratic leadership causes inner city problems. Is he rolling out some urban renewal plan? Infrastructure? No. It's a bullshit, juvenile, political tactic. He threatens to TAKE AWAY funding from blue areas having problems. The whole thing about Baltimore slums only came about because Trump was mad that Cummings pointed out slum conditions in border detention centers. If you fall for that narrative, you'll fall for anything he pulls out of his ass.

  5741. Norwood Partz - So? He's a lawyer. He can say what he wants, and you have no idea what the context is. Do you really think the whistleblower's lawyer, CHOSEN BY THE WHISTLEBLOWER, was in on some organized coup plot from the beginning? Think, McFly.

  5745. You people don't understand what went on with the DNC. They were broke. They were in no position to properly support anyone. Clinton bailed them out, and rightfully so, wanted some control over how they ran things. The agreement was that her control would be limited in the PRIMARY, not the general election, because obviously she might be able to bias the DNC towards herself and disadvantage Sanders. She saved the DNC, giving WHOEVER had won the primary - Sanders or herself - the normal, fighting chance to win the general election. If she hadn't bailed them out, Sanders probably would have lost against Trump. Any rigging that was done in the PRIMARY is in the details of scheduling debates and funding (with Clinton's own money) during the primary. Clinton may have crossed some lines there. Those details have not even been reported by FOX News, and you "See, Clinton, not Trump rigged the election!" parrots are absurd. It's not a binary thing. What Clinton did within her party was not illegal and has NOTHING to do with Trump rigging the ACTUAL GENERAL ELECTION with Russia, which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. Trump saying the Justice Department has ANY right to investigate is absurd. A party can do whatever it wants. The DNC could've named Pit Bull as its candidate. The RNC had every right to sell the nomination to Ted Nugent if they wanted. I really doubt any of you "What about Hillary!" idiots even care about the details or the truth. You hear Donna Brazile said "rigged", and you get a hard-on. NOTHING the Democrats may have done even starts to remotely compare to a general election campaign colluding left and right with the Russians to run a huge disinformation campaign against his own country, so GET A GRIP!

Then we could just not watch him - or watch him and laugh at him for the joke that he is instead of being worried he's about to destroy the world every day.

And name ONE LIE CNN has told. Do you know how clueless you sound when you automatically discredit every source. It's amazing. Trump basically says, "everyone is lying but me", and you accept it.

  5760. Exactly. These raging anti-socialists don't realize how much they're being played by the Republicans. It's OUR MONEY, and we should demand bang for our tax buck. But Republicans convinced conservatives that liberals just want "free stuff" and don't know we're ushering-in some kind of Cuba, 1959 socialist takeover, which is NOT what's happening. It's just semantics and fear mongering. ALL governments have a socialist element. Government itself is socialist! There are some things better left to the free market, and some to the government because BOTH hyper-socialism AND hyper-capitalism can be bad. It's simply a balance we need to strike, and we usually do. I'M SO SICK OF THE IDIOTS SHUTTING DOWN EVERY LIBERAL'S IDEA AS A ROAD TO COMMUNISM!!

  5763. Dems should end the filibuster now, and pass infrastructure, minimum wage, voting rights protections, marijuana decriminalization...Those issues have broad, popular support across the political spectrum. Dems should do it now so voters can base their choice next year on the results. And they need to tell the newbies in the liberal wing to STFU about "defunding police" and pushing ideas that are seen by the right as radical. It only motivates them to go "vote out the commies."
    2
  5764. Have you heard Donald Trump when his dentures come loose?
    2
  5765. Yeah, about the "oranges" of the Russia probes. That shit won't fly. How's that going to look when they try to get Trump off on a technicality, and that technicality is already a falsehood. The dossier was NOT what started the probe. A counterintelligence probe is not political, and none of the info. was shared with Democrats. There were good reasons to surveil Carter Page. If a cop knocks on your door by mistake, but you open it up, and you've got a pile of coke sitting on the table in plain sight, they can bust you.

Ever think about what FOX News isn't telling you? FOX News COORDINATES WITH TRUMP! But I'm sure you'd have been okay with it if Obama had been talking to Anderson Cooper and Rupert Murdoch every day, right?
    2
  5769. Dragon Girl - Yup. No matter what, right? Gee, you're not biased are you? So, "hypothetical" (let's pretend), Trumpers, if Mueller charges Trump with conspiracy, obstruction, and/or money laundering, will you ACCEPT that he did wrong?

  5770. Super Scary Russian Bot - What?? There are GOP lawmakers who insist they shouldn't be asked about their vaccination status. The GOP Governor of Florida had "Don't Fauci my Florida" tees and mugs circulated. One GOP Congresswoman conpared mask mandates to Nazi tactics. They refuse mask mandates at their own government workplace. Are you really trying to suggest that all of that doesn't discourage people from taking these measures?? Unbelievable!

  5778. 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
  5779. Yes, release it so we can debunk it and throw it on the pile with Uranium One, Seth Rich, the Clinton Foundation, left wing sex ring, and all of those things we tell you idiots to fact-check, but you never do, and instead say EVERY news network, intelligence agency - foreign and domestic, DOJ official, Democrat, private firm and company that this touches are part of an absurdly large deep state conspiracy. Pretty soon, you'll be saying it was all directed by the Illuminati and the Lizard People - who are all leftists! Wait, some of you do say that.

  5780. The press needs to stop using the word, "collusion", and start using the synonym, "cooperation". I think there might be some cyber crime indictments coming down, too.

  5784. Looks like McCabe was forced out. It's time to start the fucking impeachment. Mueller has talked to just about everyone in Trump's orbit. Looks like he is saving the Trump interview for last, after all. He has Trump on obstruction , easily. He has Trump in at least 4 different perjury traps. His son and his "coffee boy" have admitted collusion with Russia, and from everything I've heard, the Trump organization looks like a giant money laundering front for Russia. He's screwed. He needs to be removed now.
    2
  5785. Maybe CNN wouldn't "misrepresent" Trump's words if Trump would be CLEAR. You idiots can't see that he is ambiguous and vague to avoid accountability? Then you idiots blame the news media? Your blindness and stupidity is absolutely staggering. You have bet on the wrong horse. You have been conned by a bad con man whose bullshit only works on the stupid.

  5790. If you believe he beat it in 3 days, I have some oceanfront property in Indiana I'll sell you cheap.
    2
  5791. There is no way around it. If you defend Trump, you are a hypocrite at best, and you are projecting at worst. Hypocrisy is calling out others' known actions while doing the same. Projection is accusing others of what you are doing, and those you accuse aren't even doing it. Going after Joe Biden - through his son, through his son's former employer, through a closed matter, in a foreign country, is a witch hunt. It is a fishing expedition. Let this sink in - The US President asked the president of a foreign country to investigate, not just his rival, but a prominent elder US statesman. A former Senator and Vice President - and his son. With ZERO probable cause. A US President should be doing the opposite, trying to STOP an investigation by foreign governments into his citizens. But Trump's son meeting with Russians to get dirt on an opponent and 16 of his people lying about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there were NONE was NOT probable cause?? If you think Trump wasn't holding back foreign aid over this matter, you are a fool. It's right there in the transcript - "I want you to do me a favor, THOUGH". Why is Trump engaging in witch hunts after all of that complaining about witch hunts? Why did he even THINK about asking for foreign election help after all of that Russia shit? And Ukraine of all countries??

  5798. The FBI is not political. They're cops. Many started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They want to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were probing two unpopular candidates - both for good reason. The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Is it a stretch to think FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump voters? Why would they be so in love with Hillary? She had high negatives. The same goes for CIA analysts, who couldn't care less about politics when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the DNC. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat. It's absurd.

I always vote Democrat, but that doesn't mean Republicans are the enemy. Seems like Republicans nowadays have a war mentality about politics. Then they justify it by thinking Dems want war with them, too. Then we all suffer.

  5802. Projection

  5806. One thing the Republicans are a lot better at than the Democrats is messaging. Dems suck at it. Republicans can get the Right to believe the craziest lies and parrot the most illogical nonsense. Dems have the truth on their side and don't know how to disseminate it. They say a lie can get around the world before the truth can get out of the driveway... or something akin to that. So the ignorant MAGA crowd has "Let's go Brandon!" Well, how about "IF BIDEN DID IT..?" Virtually EVERYTHING we criticized Donald Trump for, they fiercely defended. But THEY KNOW and WE ALL KNOW that if Biden had done it or Biden had said it, they would have been outraged. I've asked them that question many, many times, and NOT ONE has ever had the nerve to say they'd have been okay with Biden (or Obama or Clinton) acting exactly like Trump - habitually lying, secret meetings with Russian intelligence, lying about COVID, attempting a coup...just to name a few. There are literally THOUSANDS. What you will get is "Why are you still talking about Trump?" That's a ridiculous talking point for many reasons. Let them say that again when Trump concedes the election or when they support the January 6th Commission. IF BIDEN DID IT..? It should be on bumper stickers.

  5808. Donoso Demaistre - By your logic, there's no point in making anything illegal, Einstein. Gun laws mitigate the problem. In case you didn't know, even Trump agreed on this one. He supported the ban on bump stocks. Probably the only thing he's done right in 3 years.
    2
  5809. specter290 - And Carter Page, who had been caught up in a Russian spy ring in 2013 - was traveling to Moscow to make speeches critical of US policy as part of a presidential campaign. Nobody put a gun to his head. Personally, if the FBI told me I had been the target of Russian spies, I wouldn't talk to another Russian for the rest of my life. But that moron, three years later, was traveling to Moscow.

  5810. Schools need resource officers, but also GOOD GUIDANCE COUNSELORS. It should be mandatory that all students speak to one at least once a year. These kids need to learn that they have raging hormones and confused minds at that age, and that everything isn't nearly as important or serious as they think it is at their age. And males in general need to learn how to deal with their emotions when it comes to females. It's not just mass shootings and not just at school. Every other day, it seems like, on the news, you hear about some guy who snapped over a girl.

  5818. William Tice - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  5826. Free Yourselves Globally Project - Look again. His hair is clearly moving in the wind. And no, you wouldn't have to spend money on air fare or travel, but you would have to spend money on green screen editing. From a risk/reward standpoint, it would make more sense to just not do the story. They have correspondents already overseas. There was no requirement to film the story from a boat. These people also don't stay at one outlet their whole lives. Do you really think all of the people who work for CNN and move to another network would just keep their mouths shut about their former employer's "trade secrets"? They are JOURNALISTS - who have exposing lies in their nature. Do you really think they work their way from the local news to CNN, working to build a reputation of accuracy, expecting to travel and get good assignments, only to be told, "Yeah, Tom, we're not sending you to Ukraine. We need you in the studio tomorrow"?? Over the relative peanuts they spend on travel? And NOT be on location to file a better report, faster than their competition? Think about this: What you are saying is a common theme with conspiracy theorists - find something that looks out of place and despite what IS in place, jump to a detailed conclusion - which is almost ALWAYS a result of having a preconceived conclusion - "His hair isn't moving. It must be fake". Notice with these conspiracies, nobody ever informs. Nobody ever betrays these "conspiracies". Even with a common street murder, someone almost always informs. For example, Trump's illegal voter fraud "conspiracy" - No illegal IDs found? No illegal got busted with drugs and told the cops, "I've got something for you if you give me a break"? No bus drivers? 9/11 conspiracy theories: Involved multiple branches of the military, stealth demolition experts, dozens of officials...serious shit where people died, and NOBODY informed? That's how people should know the "deep state" conspiracy is bs. It would involve so many people. Unlike the Trump team Russian collusion - a dozen people who can't keep their stories straight and are infighting and turning on each other. But I digress. It's the same thing with "faking" reports - risk vs. reward. It's easier just to do the damn story properly or don't do it at all. What do they have to gain, a percentage of a rating point on a story that isn't even that big, when they already have a bigger budget than their competition? Their budget is what gets their reporter on the boat. The risk is that "eagle-eyed" people like yourself might notice an editing mistake, or a disgruntled green screen editor might spill the beans to the competition. Look closer - his hair is moving.

  5827. Free Yourselves Globally Project - ... BTW, don't you think someone in the "studio" would think to put a fan on the reporter to make his hair blow? You people always think they get "busted" by overlooking an obvious detail. Sure. Like the reporter who "faked" that little flood rescue after that hurricane just suddenly - in the middle of faking a report - suddenly said, "Hold on, let me go change clothes and make this look really odd". And the sound. How can you even tell? It's a recording of a TV screen. If you had to prove your theory to some kind of jury, you would lose. If an expert or an editor from CNN came in to argue that it was real, they would say something neither you nor I ever thought of that would make perfect sense.

  5828. Free Yourselves Globally Project - I thought you were probably one of those 9/11 conspiracy nuts. First of all, Google a fact check on the Saudi story. There were, like, a dozen news outlets there. They ALL have footage in front of that building. You think they ALL used a green screen? Why? To save on air fare? Do you think there were no reporters there during the Gulf War? The joke was that the Iraqi army surrendered TO CNN! Tell me the logic of ramming planes into the Twin Towers - an already massive attack like the world had never seen - then hitting the Pentagon... with a missile for some reason? (Many witnesses saw the plane), and then, they said, "Maybe that's not enough. Let's also demolish building 7, too" - and they TOLD THE PRESS ABOUT IT?!? Isn't that what you people say, that a local reporter knew about it before it happened, and oops! reported it too early? That it fell without being hit? First, AGAIN, do you think the "conspirators" just overlooked that little detail? Yeah, "Let's do building 7, too, but NOT ram a plane into it - just to fuck with the conspiracy theorists"?? Fact check that one, too. The building caught fire. It was evacuated, and NYC had to use all of its resources on the Twin Towers. I was there a year later. There was a building across the street from ground zero that was still damaged about 15 stories up, that still wasn't repaired. If you've ever been to New York, you'd know how massive Manhattan is, and you could see just how far the debris flew to hit those buildings. No doubt, building 7 took a pounding and a shaking. But sure, Bush, the CIA, or whoever the hell you think was behind it got the military, multiple agencies, the airlines, INS... to ALL JOIN IN ON THE BIGGEST MASS MURDER IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Right. And nobody told. I guess, what, they paid everyone to keep quiet, or did they do it for free just to satisfy their bloodlust for killing their fellow citizens. You know, if they wanted to stage an attack to justify a war overseas, bombing an embassy would have been enough. Oh, BTW, Osama bin Laden took responsibility. Think, McFly. None of it makes sense.

  5838. @RL O'H Biden did it in his capacity as Vice President, in the national interest, with the backing of everybody, including the IMF and the Republicans in Congress. Trump held back Congressionally approved funds in secret, in his own interest, to influence an election by trying to extort an investigation into Joe Biden. Huge difference. Not to mention that his excuse when caught was that Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wanted a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen. Does that make any sense? Biden threatened to hold back funds BECAUSE the Ukrainian prosecutor was corrupt. What Trump did WAS corrupt.

  5839.  @stanwilson7040  I'm not saying CNN isn't professional. I'm just saying they're overly sensational and not very in-depth. Actually, we owe most of the credit for exposing Trump to print media outlets like the New York Times abd the Washington Post. Rachel Maddow did a much better job than CNN at giving attention to those stories and analyzing them in ways that a mass audience could understand. Also, Nicolle Wallace did it right by staffing her show with Republicans, making it harder to dismiss as "leftist bias".

  5847. 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.

  5858. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

  5860. Trump is desperate to keep a job he has no interest in doing. He's in his 70s and has more money than he could ever spend for the remainder of his life, but wants to spend his golden years working in a government he thinks is crooked among crooked people. He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.

  5870. The media didn't lie to start a probe into Russian collusion. The probe started because Trump lied about collusion with Russia. Imagine if Clinton had won, and during the campaign we knew that: - Clinton said, "Russia, if you're listening, if you can find Trump's deleted emails..." - The Russians were meddling in her favor and hacked the RNC. - Knowing about this meddling, Clinton had the DNC platform changed to favor Russia's war on Ukraine. Then, after Clinton won - but lost the popular vote, it was revealed that: - New President Clinton appointed a man to head the State Department who had received Russia's highest award for a foreigner. (This goes too deep to summarize in this post. Funny, Tillerson was one of Trump's most qualified cabinet picks - until Trump fired him the day after he publicly criticized Putin). - During the campaign, Chelsae Clinton, John Podesta, and Uma Abeden had met with Russian government surrogates to discuss trading sanction relief for dirt on Donald Trump. - Clinton's son-in-law/top advisor was working on lifting sanctions imposed for the very offense of meddling, plus those imposed for illegally invading Ukraine. - After denying ANY Russian contacts by ANY associates, it turned out that 16 of them had Russian contacts during the campaign. - One associate, a Watergate figure, and self-described "dirty trickster", bragged about contacts with the VERY HACKERS of the RNC, and the VERY WEAPONIZERS of the hacked information. - Clinton's White House Security Advisor was caught discussing sanction relief with a Russian Ambassador during the transition. - Clinton fired the FBI Director and said that she did it "because the Clinton/Rusher thing is a 'hoax'". - President Hillary Clinton continued to cast doubt on the fact that Russia meddled at all, against the findings of the FBI and CIA, and continued to resist imposing sanctions for that very meddling. - More was revealed about Clinton's financial ties to shady Russian banks known to be involved in money laundering. (The analogy gets a little crazy here, since Clinton was a New York Senator and resident. You get the point, right? Lots of Russian money is laundered through New York real estate - Trump's home state and lifelong profession). NOW, WOULDN'T YOU WANT AN INVESTIGATION?? If you say no, you are a liar! But wait, there's more...During the investigation, imagine that we found out that: - After saying she had no deals pending in Russia, Clinton was revealed to have been working on opening a huge hotel in Moscow during the campaign. - John Podesta was offering insider polling data and briefings on the campaign to a Russian intelligence officer to whom he owed money. - Podesta is convicted of multiple felonies, including Conspiracy against the United States. - Clinton's lawyer pleads guilty to multiple felonies and implicates President Clinton, herself, as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation involving bank fraud and tax evasion. The feds cite her as "Individual 1". - Clinton's disgraced National Security Advisor pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about those sanction discussions with the Russians. - Clinton's "dirty trickster" is arrested for multiple felonies. - Yet another Clinton staffer, a campaign National Security Advisor she swears was just a "coffee boy" pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about suggesting a meeting with the Russians for their help with the election. - I'll just throw out a few more names here: Carter Page, Rick Gates, Hope Hicks, Jeff Sessions...all tied to the Russia thing in varying degrees... If Mueller declined to recommend indicting Clinton - who was unindictable anyway...If Mueller declined to indict Chelsae and her husband, who President Hillary would surely pardon, WOULD YOU SAY, "NO HARM, NO FOUL. GEE, I GUESS IT REALLY WAS ALL JUST A WITCH HUNT AFTER ALL. WE OWE CLINTON AN APOLOGY"?? I didn't think so.

  5872. Los From Da Land - A former Trump campaign staffer said he wishes they would have thought of it and that he wished they were carrying heroin. I don't think it was staged. How much would you have to pay 7000 people to go on a 3000 mile hike for another country's propaganda? But the Trump Administration has the biggest motive to do it. Trump says it's the Democrats. That wouldn't make sense from a risk/reward standpoint. it clearly benefits the Republicans in the upcoming election, so much so that they have made it their election "closing argument".

  5878. Trump is a horrible sport who can't laugh at himself. Comey is right - He almost never laughs. And when he occassionally does, it's usually about someone ripping on his enemies, and even then, it's more of a scoff of satisfaction than a laugh. His personality disorders must be contagious to right-wingers.

He was not a "lead" attorney, and it had nothing to do with the dossier. He altered an email for the 4th extension of the FISA warrant on Carter Page, who had left the Trump campaign before the original warrant was issued. There was no larger plot. That is the conclusion of the Inspector General appointed by Trump.

    2
  5898. When Trump says, "Mueller isn't looking at the other side", he shows how he fundamentally doesn't understand how things work. What "other side"? He is referring to Democrats - the "other side" in POLITICS. The other side in JUSTICE, in a potential case against him, is the Mueller team. Mueller is looking at what happened with Russia and the 2016 election IN GENERAL, whether it leads to the Trump campaign or not. He doesn't see that RUSSIA is on the other side of the US there. The US, you know, the country he is supposed to be defending! And why is he so sure Mueller is against him, anyway? Does it occur to him that Mueller could clear him? He clearly believes the report will be damning, so he is using the only defense he can - "witch hunt", even though he hasn't been charged with anything. At every turn, he does what a guilty person would do. It should bother everyone that he refuses to realize basic fundamentals, even after he has surely been advised of these things. Either he is incapable of understanding, or he doesn't care. Either way, he is incapable of doing his job.

  5902. If Democrats are so worried about what may make their nominee lose to Trump: 1- Don't support de-criminalizing illegal border crossings. Do Dems just WANT to spread the falsehood that Dems want open borders? The problem isn't that we catch them. It's that Trump crams them into squalid cages without basic necessities for the staggering cost of $700/day per head for the profit of greedy, private companies, and breaks up families. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. Even if we RELEASE them, we still have to CATCH them. 2- Don't give Biden hell about race relations. He's clearly not racist. Trump clearly is. It just gives Republicans ammo to say Dems are the "real" racists because they talk about race. 3- Don't worry about Biden looking "low energy" or "losing it" in his old age in a debate. Trump is a lazy, rambling, old coot. Don't confuse his immaturity and brashness for energy. 4- Bernie should drop out. He has good ideas, but he labeled himself a socialist. It doesn't matter if you put the word "Democratic" in front of it. All swing voters will hear is "socialist", and Republicans will scare them into thinking he wants to turn America into Venezuela. Bernie should remain a Senator. 5- Lay off Kamala for locking up potheads. She didn't arrest them herself. Was she supposed to refuse to prosecute them all? She would have been accused of not upholding the law. I'm against locking up minor drug offenders, but we need to change the law. If she's the nominee, I want her to commit to legalization. She can't do that if her party attacks her as a hypocrite. 6- Support marijuana legalization. Do it before Trump does. It's going to happen eventually, so claim the credit. It's related to health care and criminal justice reform, and something Kushner and Kardashian left out of their prison reform plan. Sell it as a great source of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. 7- Republicans might pull a bait and switch, and Trump won't be the nominee. It's early. Trump might be exposed as an undeniable crook, or they might finally get sick of him and not want to deal with him for another four years. If his approval numbers take a dive, they could primary him. Then, Dems won't be battling the devil they know, the one they're preparing to go up against.

  5908.  @usadominates8700  - Oh, cut that "communism" crap already. Biden is a centrist who beat Sanders, the socialist, in the primary. There are exactly TWO Democratic Socialists in Congress, and ZERO communists. Can't you all come up with any talking points anywhere close to reality? Biden is not a communist. America isn't the USSR or Cuba. Only 15% of the citizens want to "defund the police" and that was just bad messaging about restructuring law enforcement. Biden is obviously not senile. He didn't do anything crooked in Ukraine or China. Harris never said she didn't trust the vaccine. And there was no significant voter fraud in the 2020 election. Antifa wasn't behind January 6th. Mueller never said there was no collusion. The MSM does not work for the DNC. The dossier didn't start the Russia probe and wasn't used in the campaign... Wow, there is a lot of BS coming from the right!

  5909. Connor Madeley - Are you kidding? FOX News is practically an arm of the Republican party, and of the Trump campaign. Do you realize how many of his staff came directly from FOX News? FOX News is the outlier. CNN report mostly the same stories as PBS, BBC, NBC, CBS...You are ignorant.

  5910. MSM critics - -- Learn the definitions of FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. -- Lying is knowing a FACT and saying otherwise. An OPINION can't be a lie. If you say, "MSM lies", please back it up by NAMING THE LIE. -- CNN can't "cover up" anything because CNN is not the sole gatekeeper of information. -- Those "CNN green screen faked" Youtube videos are complete bullshit. -- "Enemy of the people" is a term coined by Joseph Stalin. The POTUS using it like a parrot with fake news turrets syndrome should shoot a chill up your spine. -- Typing into a Youtube search box, looking for some journalist wannabe to confirm your bias is NOT "research". -- Choosing alternative music over corporate pop is good. Choosing a family-owned restaurant over Applebees because the food is better is good. That's NOT the case with news. Big media outlets can afford editors, FACT CHECKERS, planes, trucks, high-priced reporters whose reputations are their assets, and INSIDE SOURCES. Mark Dice doesn't know people at the Pentagon. White House aides aren't leaking information to TYT. -- MSM isn't controlled by the DNC or the CIA. They're controlled by ADVERTISERS. They're motivated by money, not politics. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one political party. MSM will and DO report on Democrats behaving badly. -- You can complain about corporate media, but corporations are CAPITALIST, not socialist. Capitalism is based on competition. Outlets compete to get the most accurate information out there first. MSM can be obnoxious, homogeneous, and overly sensational, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Extract the fact from the opinion. -- They HAVE TO use narratives. It's how they sell their product - information. ANALYSIS helps viewers understand the raw information. -- FOX News is a mainstream media outlet. It's corporate media, and it's very biased. They coordinate with the White House. FOX News has no competitors to keep them in check. They have a monopoly on "conservative", visual, non-print media, which is the format most people use for news. If I see fifteen people standing in a group, and I stand to the right of them, does that make them "the left"? No. The center may be halfway between them and myself, but the center of gravity is a lot closer to the group. FOX News is not conservative, but ALTERNATIVE media. They coordinate with Donald Trump and social media to form a feedback loop of OPINION that thrives on confirmation bias. -- If you only watch "liberal" media to look for bias, then YOU are engaging in confirmation bias.

  5911.  @supermman91  Did you read my post? When they report facts, they are almost always accurate. And yes, they do opinion pieces. That's what they do on the news. Fact, opinion, and analysis. Biased? Toward WHO? No, they don't work for the DNC. The FACTS THEMSELVES tend to be biased towards liberals. That whole left/right media thing is bullshit.
    2
  5912.  @supermman91  No. I'm saying the facts usually side with the left, and that's why there are so many more so-called "left wing" media outlets. They aren't LEFT, they are MAINSTREAM. FOX News isn't conservative. It's ALTERNATIVE.

  5913.  Variable Volume  That "Operation Mockingbird" crap is a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory. The CIA doesn't control the media.

  5914.  @supermman91  The facts tend to "side" with what media critics CALL liberal. There's really no left/right in media. There's left/right in POLITICS. Critics on the right label MAINSTREAM media as liberal because the facts often don't fit the Republican political agenda. Republican and Democrat are political parties, but if you present it as left vs. right, it implies there should be balance in what the media report. If things aren't equal, they just aren't, and shouldn't be given equal weight in the media. It's like with that intelligent design vs. evolution debate. Just because some Christians came up with a new way to present creationism doesn't mean it should be given equal time with science. Should the media consult both the DNC and the RNC before they run a story so they stay balanced? Of course not! And on what stories? Some stories are entirely political, some partly, and some not at all. Many are SPUN or just PERCEIVED as political when they aren't. It's the media's job to report facts and analyze them for viewer consumption. It's the viewer's job to know the difference between fact and analysis.

  5915.  Variable Volume  That old Gulf War video is complete bs. How on earth does that prove anything? There were about ten other news outlets there who all had the same building in the background. It doesn't even make sense why they would fake it in a studio rather than sending a crew to Saudi Arabia. Why would they fake it? To save on air fare?
    2
  5916.  @supermman91  When the news media reported that Trump lied about pursuing a Trump Tower deal in Moscow, that was a FACT, and a very newsworthy fact that did not make Trump look good. Does that mean that the reporters were obligated, in the same report, to talk about how well the economy was doing? Of course not. Were they obligated to make their next story about all of the promises he has kept, and leave out of the ones he has broken? Of course not.
    2
  5917.  Variable Volume  YOU have zero critical thinking skills if you think CNN would find it logical to fake a report in a studio, and think the CIA runs the media. I took a class in college called Elementary Logic and Critical Thinking. As if I needed it to realize your posts lack common sense and basic knowledge of how government and media work.
    2
  5918.  Variable Volume  What bubble? What makes you think the siren was fake? How does the reporter laughing prove it's fake? That makes no sense. Again, WHY would they fake that report? The media have been reporting accurately about Trump and Russia. But you don't have to believe the media. Read the Mueller Report.
    2
  5919.  Variable Volume  Obviously, YOU have no common sense. There is no logic whatsoever in your statement. Name one thing the media reported inaccurately about Russia. It is up to Congress to impeach, and they are doing inquiries right now. And I see you still cannot simply give a reason why CNN would fake an on-location report, or back up ANY of your assertions.
    2
  5920.  Variable Volume  How would they get better ratings by faking it? That makes no sense. How was the report even sensational? There was nothing going on. I told you, other news outlets were there. So, do you think they all faked it? You have zero proof. And I see you still can't name anything false about Russia that the media reported. Nothing on him? Trump and 16 of his associates lied about over 140 Russian contacts. There are 10 instances of obstruction detailed in the Mueller Report.

  5926. Is it because Trump used the slogan, "drain the swamp", you cult followers think he, himself, can't possibly be crooked? Is that it? His cabinet is as crooked as a barrel of snakes. Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt, Tom Price, Rob Porter, and Mike Flynn were ousted in scandal. Ben Carson is under suspicion. Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates pleaded guilty to felonies. Just wait and see how it goes with Don Jr, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Jarred Kushner, and Ivanka Trump. Hell, even Eric "Short Bus" Trump is being looked at for charity fraud. "All the best people", right?

  5929.  Rambos Raiders  Okay, so where's the evidence? MSM can't stop it from coming out. The "liberal" media aren't the sole gatekeepers of information. Trump coordinates with FOX News. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  5935. Donald Trump wrote a $25,000 CHECK from his former charity's account to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, to squash a lawsuit over his sham "university." (He was successfully sued in another state over Trump U, and his charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality.") He ostensibly paid a bribe with a CHECK from a CHARITY. He's not careful. The people in his circle aren't careful. Look at Giuliani. "Hey, everybody, I'm off to Ukraine now to get dirt on Donald's opponent from a foreign government AGAIN." Trump paid off two women to keep quiet about his marital affairs with checks. (The story had already come out years before, too). He directed his lawyer to set up a sham LLC in order to make the payments, committing bank, tax, and FEC fraud in the process. He couldn't use cash? Jewelry? I'd bet he left paper trails all over the place. He's screwed.

  5944. Politicians are self-serving and shady in general, but there are lines Democrats won't cross. With Republicans, there is no bottom. Some Dems break the law.

He stopped Chinese citizens and European air travel, and then moved right on to calling it a Democrat hoax, lying, downplaying, and ignoring it.

  5951. Clinton's plan was to collude with the Russians to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear the winner with. And she started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you all start fabricating intercepts and reports, commit major felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She also asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  5952. I've always said, if we are going to declare war on "isms" and things that are not countries or armies - War on terrorism. War on drugs...We should declare war on corruption.

Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?

There are TWO Democratic Socialists in all of Congress. Democrats chose Biden, a centrist, over Sanders, the Socialist. - A disease isn't inherently a political issue. The majority of states with spikes in COVID 19 have Republican governors. - There's virtually no individual voter fraud. Most times it has happened, it was done by Republican voters.

  5960. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

    2
  5967. Tater Puddin Donald Trump lied when he said he was unaware of those hush money payments. That has been proven. He became an unindicted co-conspirator in a case involving bank fraud that sent his personal lawyer to prison. Trump lied when he said he had no dealings with Russia during his campaign. He was trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that required approval from Putin himself. Trump was SEEKING FAVOR FROM RUSSIA WHILE RUSSIA WAS ATTACKING A US ELECTION IN HIS FAVOR. The Russians knew he was lying to us, and could use that to BLACKMAIL him. Does anyone really believe Trump was unaware that his son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman were meeting with Russian government surrogates for the purpose of obtaining stolen material on their opponent? Trump continues to lie by saying the Mueller Report concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction. These are only 4 of the 11,000 lies Trump has told in the last 2 1/2 years. To give this some perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Bill Clinton was IMPEACHED over a lie about his personal life, and if you say, "Clinton lied under oath", I'll point out that Trump refused to go under oath, and has blocked dozens of his staff from testifying, citing statutes that literally do not exist. What should that tell us?

  5968. I'm sick of this "liberal/conservative" media bullshit. Look at who the right says are "liberal" and "conservative" in TV news, (Set aside print and talk radio for a moment). Conservative - FOX News. Liberal - ABC, CBS, CNN, BBC, PBS, MSNBC...EVERYONE ELSE! Now, a hypothetical: Let's say some kids throw eggs at a house on Halloween, an old lady slips on one and dies. Let's say the Republicans want to then make it legal to shoot kids who walk on your lawn uninvited. FOX News backs them up. All of the "left wing media" talk about how crazy that is and get critical of the new Republican "egg bill". Would that be liberal bias? No. Should they give the pro-kid shooters equal time? Of course not! It's as crazy as saying intelligent design should get equal time with science in public schools. There isn't left and right wing media. There is regular media and FOX News. I am opposed to news organizations - even just the editorial staff - endorsing political candidates. I don't know why the hell they do it. But think! Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions. Everything the Republican lawmakers propose does not deserve equal coverage, and you Republican voters need to realize THEY are telling YOU what ideas to support. It isn't the other way around.

The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud.

Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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.

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  5972. family lowe - The FBI told Trump, as they do ALL candidates, about possible interference, and to call them if it happens. Did Trump? No. His son met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief, and Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that meeting", which is absolutely false. The FBI announced that they were reopening the Clinton email case. That cost her 3 points, and probably the election - over what was surely to turn out to be duplicate emails. (They were). The FBI did not announce that there was a probe into Trump. If anything, they HELPED Trump. And if you think anyone would have taken that meeting (and lie about it. Why?), then you should look into what GW Bush did when he was sent dirt on Al Gore - and that may not have even been foreigners.

  5976. -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.

  5977. - 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.

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.

  5978. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit foward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. Sater worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

It is the POLICY that should be on trial, not the cop. If they charge this cop with murder, HE WILL GET OFF. Even if he is convicted, that's one cop that takes the punishment, and the policies remain. There is an absolute difference between a cop reverting to his training in a split second and an 8 minute suffocation of a handcuffed man.

  5987. Chadillac - Uh, no, not "like" that. You're just throwing that out there because you can't refute my facts... and you're wrong again. Obama did not spy on the Trump campaign for politics. This has been established. Your "deep state" conspiracy theories don't make any sense. And you're saying it's "oppo research"? Well, if you were correct (you're not), according to Trump, oppo research is perfectly okay. Trump said, "I believe anyone would have taken that meeting", in reference to the Trump Tower meeting - which was NOT legal oppo research. And no, anyone wouldn't take that meeting.

  5990.  @lowiqleftist8940  A source? Pick any source. Google it. This is common knowledge and known, undisputed fact. Trump lied about pursuing the Trump Tower Moscow deal. Manafort, Flynn, Sessions, Don Jr, Kushner, Popadooulos, Cohen, Stone...16 in total lied about their contacts with Russians during the campaign. How could you NOT know that? Oh, yeah, you probably only watch FOX News.

  5991.  @lowiqleftist8940  Russians hacked 21 states' voter roll software. They weaponized the DNC emails - with the support of the Trump campaign. They used every major social media platform. They put out false information about how to vote. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it would have swung the election. They funnelled cash to the Trump camp via the NRA. They used tactics they've been refining for decades. Think they'd do it if it didn't work? It wasn't just screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted, code-named operation.

  5994. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

  5999. Obama told a Russian official that he'd have more flexibility after the next election. So? To do WHAT? We don't know. Maybe something LEGAL? Maybe Obama had a busy schedule. Maybe Obama was brushing the Russian off. "Don't call me. I'll call you". "Yeah, we should do lunch some time". Trump followers point to vagaries as proof of something nefarious, like saying the words "insurance policy" in a text proves a deep state conspiracy. But you can show them a ton of suspicious activity and lies by Trump, and they not only dismiss it as nothing, but insist we don't have reason to be suspicious at all.

  6002.  @tboned5641  Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  6009. There is NO EXCUSE for this! If Trump and the GOP want to prove that they didn't cheat in 2016 and care about ELECTION SECURITY, they should WANT TO pass legislation to guard against foreign meddling and dirty tricks, PERIOD! It is ESTABLISHED that Russia did attack, and is currently attacking our elections. It is ESTABLISHED FACT that cyberspace is the new battleground, and it's a wild frontier. Don't take my word for it. This is the assessment of the FBI. Notice how the only thing Trump and the GOP want to regulate is big tech - but in THEIR FAVOR! "Google is biased against conservatives", "Twitter is deleting pro-Trump comments!" BULLSHIT! This, as they insist that a citizenship question on the census is for law enforcement purposes, and has nothing to do with the fact that it favors THEM in a tight election. This, as those fuckers have lost gerrymandering cases repeatedly because the courts rule their tactics as racist. This, as they insist that voter ID laws are merely about ELECTION SECURITY, and disregard the fact that individual voter fraud is a non-issue. Trump's own voter fraud commission found NOTHING. (They needed 3 million illegal votes in an ALREADY blue state?!?) US intelligence agencies found every reason for Congress to safeguard our elections. Trump, himself, constantly describes a "crooked system" where everything is "rigged". The Russians meddled IN HIS FAVOR. In 2016, Trump literally said it was okay to cheat IN HIS FAVOR! But he wants to investigate the investigators who investigated Russian meddling into the election that THE RUSSIANS ADMIT MEDDLING IN TO HELP HIM WIN! Holy shit, has this whole country gone fucking STUPID?!? It hasn't. 40% of it has gone fucking stupid! That's not even a simple majority! But because it takes 67% of the Senate to remove the "duly" elected, incompetent, lying piece of shit in the White House, the SPINELESS Democrats won't pull the proverbial trigger and IMPEACH THAT SOB!!

  6013. Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude. with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

These idiots think it's going to work nationally in 2018? And if this douchebag thought she was an illegal fleeing to Canada, then what's the problem? She'd soon be out of "your" country.

  6020. Rebecca Ramey - Wrong. There is a distinction. Lack of candor is not perjury, and there is no criminal statute for that. It's why a grand jury didn't indict Andrew McCabe. Lack of candor is subjective, and witnesses can be manipulated into it.

  6024. Right wing extremists win when they convince the moderates of a false equivalence between the two political parties. I used to say, "A plane needs a right and a left wing to fly" when I didn't like what classic conservative Republicans were doing. Now I think we need to land the plane and replace the right wing before we crash and burn. I suspect many moderates and independents have heard so many lies about the Dems, the media, and the scientific community that even if they don't necessarily believe them, they still think, "Well, all politicians are always screwing us, so maybe there's SOME TRUTH to those conspiracy theories" when there simply is no truth whatsoever to them. Obviously there are rare exceptions, but those are usually the mole hills the Right will call mountains. The Republican party has simply lost its way. It doesn't have to disappear or implode if it would just replace its members with mature adults who want to solve actual problems. Republican and Independent voters, PLEASE try to see through the BS and educate yourselves on the issues before you vote. Republicans, PLEASE demand better from your elected officials. America hasn't been successful because one party was always trying to demonize and insult the other. It's been successful because of ACTUAL WORK, IDEAS, LEADERSHIP, LEGISLATION, and LAW. Not "owning the libs" or demonizing them to the point your extremists actually believe that we are trying to kill you, rape your babies and set up a communist regime in the most hyper-capitalist country on Earth.

But I'm sure you would be okay with Hillary Clinton reaching out to the Russians, her staff meeting with them in New York to get dirt on Trump, winning the election, then doing it again with Ukraine and China, right?

  6029.  @moonooze6171  The Republican president: The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns. The “genius” who hides his college grades. The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 yrs. The “playboy” who pays for $ex. The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church. The “philanthropist” who defrauds charities. The “patriot” who dodged the draft. The “innocent man” who refuses to testify. The “President” who takes no responsibility. The “tough, strong man“ who wears makeup and hairspray but never a mask. The “deal maker” who has yet to close a deal. (I'd add "The 'asset to the black community' who constantly says racially offensive things"). If America reelects this guy, it deserves the dystopian future that follows. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.” ― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999 “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.” ― The Donald @ The David Letterman Show, January 2015 “We’re going to have insurance for everybody. We’re going to have a healthcare that is far less expensive and far better.” ― The Donald @ interview with The Washington Post, January 2017 “Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.” ― The Donald @ interview with CNN, 2007 “I know her [Hillary Clinton] and she'd make a good president or good vice president.” [speaking of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries] ― The Donald @ "Trumped!", a syndicated radio feature, 2008 “I don’t want to pivot... If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people.” ― The Donald @ interview with Wisconsin television station WKBT, August 2016 “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s, like, incredible.” ― The Donald @ campaign rally in Iowa, January 2016 “I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular [i.e. cabinet] positions I just don’t want a poor person.” ― The Donald @ rally in Iowa, June 2017 “I think if this country gets any kinder or gentler, it’s literally going to cease to exist.” ― The Donald @ Playboy, March 1990 “The point is that you can’t be too greedy.” ― The Donald @ “The Art of the Deal”, 1987 “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” [speaking of having $ex and referring to women's geпitals as “potential landmines”.] ― The Donald @ interview on The Howard Stern Show, November 1997 “Vagiпa is expensive.” ― The Donald @ his second wedding, as retold on The Howard Stern Show, 1997 “Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.” ― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2013 “You can’t con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.” ― The Donald @ “The Art of the Deal”, 1987

  6030. Hebrew Kang - You apparently don't know the definition of evidence. Every bit of it is at least circumstantial evidence, if not direct. But set the word, "evidence" aside. You have to be willfully ignorant to not see it as major cause for suspicion.
    2
  6031.  Hebrew Kang  No, there isn't, and you cannot explain how. But if you say Clinton's oppo research was collusion, then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Don Jr said that was just oppo research. Unlike with the dossier, there was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade dirt for sanction relief. How was one wrong, and the other okay? Also, Clinton is not President! "What about Clinton? What about Clinton?" Do you know how STUPID you people sound?

    2
  6036. It's best if they don't make a deal. Trump only cares about the optics. He'll give away half the country, essentially giving in to NK's nuclear blackmail, just to say he's the greatest dealmaker "in HISTORY!"

  6037. An example of Trump's dealmaking skills: So, why does Trump suddenly want to save ZTE in China? Well, the Chinese are pumping loads of cash into Trump's Indonesian hotel project. "I love spending other peoples' money", he says. "Other people" are now the US taxpayer. He'll sell out his country in exchange for personal benefits. Back-room deals. Doubt that? Look into Kushner, Flynn, and Cohens influence peddling.

  6039.  @alexanderzhivkov4309  - In time? You obviously don't understand this. Those lines were the genetic sequence unique to COVID. They had already developed the vaccine. They had already built the weapon. It was already loaded. It just needed to be told what its target was. The COVID vaccine synthesizes the protein spikes, the "crown", the "corona", those spikey things that cover the virus in all of the diagrams. That tells the body how to recognize and target the virus. They used to use actual, "live" virus in vaccines. Now they do this because the technology has gotten better. Obviously, people aren't dropping dead from taking it after two years, and after it literally leaves the body in days. The hysteria around this drug is crazy. Look at how many drugs the world is on, but this one? Why? Ignorance and paranoia. Politicians screwing with your head for personal gain. Get serious about getting the facts or don't even try.

  6042. FACTS: - The overwhelming majority of protesters are not rioters. Very few rioters are ANTIFA. There are many conservative protesters. - Most liberals support the 2nd Amendment. DEMOCRATS rejected Beto O'Rourke because he wanted to confiscate guns. - Virtually NO liberals want open borders. - Virtually no liberals are communist. There are TWO Democratic Socialists in all Congress. Democrats chose Biden, a centrist, over Sanders, the Democratic Socialist. - A disease is NOT inherently a political issue. The majority of states with spikes in COVID 19 have Republican governors. - There is virtually no individual voter fraud. Most times it has happened, it was done by Republican voters. Vote based on FACTS, not feelings, lies, and rumors.

We need to get that number back down.

  6045. rtorres81rc - That wasn't a lie, it was a mistake, and it's the only example you people ever give, meaning they rarely even make mistakes like that. Ever watch FOX News? When they REPEAT, over and over, that the dossier started the Russia probe, that is a deliberate LIE.
    2
  6046. The difference with Russia is that the candidate encouraged and accepted their interference.
    2
  6047. 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? Furthermore, it isn't like they looked and found nothing. They looked and found Trump associates lying, acting shady, and reaching out to the Russian government. DUH! It was inevitable! That's why they should just let it proceed.
    2
  6048. And the Benghazi hearings. And the Bill Clinton impeachment. AND the Clinton Foundation. And the IG probe into the "oranges" of the Russia probe. And the voter fraud commission. And the probe into Comey... But it doesn't matter that those were actual witch hunts and fishing expeditions lead mostly by Republicans and Trump appointees. It just strengthens Cult 45's delusion that they can barely find any wrongdoing by Democrats because of the "leftist deep state". Hey Trumpers, ever consider the possibility that the president and his minions are simply as crooked as they seem, and they're simply projecting their own wrongdoing on Dems as a distraction? The most obvious explanation is usually the most accurate.
    2
  6049. Earnest Lee Saddened - Republicans don't leak?? Are you out of your mind? They selectively leak all the time in an attempt to create a false narrative. That's exactly why they've got you people thinking Dems are all crooks and thec"deep state" protects them from prosecution. They're not interested in actual prosecutions that they're sure to lose. They're interested in the ANNOUNCEMENT of investigations, like with Ukraine, so they can keep you misinformed and outraged.
    2
  6050. ham sandwich - Exactly. Which is also why Mueller didn't have Trump charged with conspiracy. He couldn't prove Trump wasn't too dumb to conspire with the Russians. It came down to INTENT. Yet Trump supporters are outraged about Clinton not being charged while Trump got off for nearly the same reason.
    2
  6051. Earnest Lee Saddened - Impeachment in the House is the INDICTMENT. The Senate holds the TRIAL. You don't get to call defense witnesses during the investigation/indictment process. That would be like a homicide detective building a case against a murder suspect, then letting the suspect call people in to the police station to try to prove the detective wrong before it goes to court.
    2
  6052. Augustin Kim - Right. It's a dictionary definition - a technicality. You want to say it is technically true that it is an invasion, but that's OBVIOUSLY not the intent of using that word. Trump did the same thing with "nationalism". He deliberately uses controversial terms and when criticized, says, "It's true, isn't it?" Pure obvious bullshit, and we see right through it.
    2
  6053. Augustine Kim - I, too am against illegal immigration. So are most people. So was Obama, Bush, and every other president, but there are better ways to go about things, and asking for asylum is not illegal.

What a waste. Conspiracy theorists should be working for our country, not against it. I get it. It's a defense mechanism to show they won't be fooled by those who have power over them. Isn't that ironic?

  6058.  @bradynlotterman8164  - That's my point. Nothing can determine it. It's like arbitrarily putting a point on a circle. Pro-lifers (anti-choicers) want to think about it in linear terms. And the argument will never be won by either side because it's two different arguments. One is framed as pro-choice, the other as pro-life. It's simple-minded and shallow to call it baby murder. It's not the same as stabbing a newborn in the head. As long as we have to make rules about a dilemma that will always be imperfect, I see no choice but to be reasonable, acknowledge that the counter-arguments have some validity, and defer to the mother's choice. Leaving no exceptions for rape and incest is incredibly cruel and draconian, not to mention hypocritical.

  6059.  @donnad.8117  - True, and I'd bet they haven't even thought about why they want to control the choices of women they don't even know. Republican officials also do it because they love a good, polarizing social issue. They refuse to see it as a medical issue because that takes away their power. They do it out if habit, too. Just plain, old habit. They've been acting this way for decades.

  6061. A T - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  6069. Matthew Clark - No matter how many times you say that, it won't make it true. By the way, the crime in Clinton's case was one lie about his personal life.

And not just a US citizen, but a prominent former Senator and Vice President. Let that sink in. After all of the shit Trump put himself through over foreign help from Russia, he solicits and extorts Ukraine for the same thing. After all Trump put himself through, opposing his own country's intelligence, siding with Putin in Helsinki, trying to deny that Russia ever even meddled, he tries to resurrect the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory. This is pure insanity.

  6075. If Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..," then asked Ukraine and China to investigate Trump, and insisted that soliciting foreign help was fair oppo research... If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

  6077. Trump is a bigot. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses?

  6078. Trump's racist history Notice the legal judgements and direct quotes that he has said publicly and admits to saying. Before you Trump followers say, "What about Biden?" I'll say that any reasonable person can see that the unintended consequences of the '94 crime bill - that Biden admits was a mistake - and Biden's few, well-intended, awkward racial gaffes don't even start to compare to Trump's racist history, for which he is unapologetic. If you use whataboutism and say "Dems are the racists who started the Klan," I'll point out 1)- How long ago that was. 2)- Dems always get around 90% of the black vote. 3)- Literally every racial hate group in America supports Republican politicians and candidates. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

  6090. Imagine this scenario: The Russians launch a cyber attack on election day, and they conceal that its origin is Russia. They don't hit the voting machines, most of which are not online, but they hit the surrounding systems. Maybe they screw with the power grid, and the power goes out at polling locations - of which there will already be fewer, with more people waiting. People leave those long lines and go home. The votes will already not be totaled on election day because of the increase in mail-in ballots. People will already be confused because of all of the changes to polling sites, drop boxes, and mailboxes. Trump blames China or "a fat guy on his bed" for the cyber attack. He says that it looks like China, but "we don't really know because you have to catch them in the act," (which is untrue). The CIA says it wasn't China, but Trump followers dismiss that as the "deep state" helping Biden this time. Biden voters know Trump either knowingly cheated or neglectfully let chaos happen. Trump voters are sure that the left is trying to oust a duly elected president again. Everyone is pissed. Protests, which Trump will call riots no matter what, break out in every major "Democrat" city. Think about what happens from there.

  6093. kerry the truth - First if all, the term is PROCESS crimes, and I didn't say anything about that. I'm talking about the 16 Trump associates who lied about having contacts with Russians. Trump himself lied about working on a Trump Tower Moscow deal. He was doing that while he knew Russia was attacking our election. You really think that isn't cause to investigate?? What if that had been Clinton? Do have the balls to say you'd be okay with that? Didn't think so.
    2
  6094.  @highlightcenter5651  There's a huge difference. At BLM riots, violence by a small percentage broke out at 7% of demonstrations against a real, continuing problem. Most rioters were opportunists there to steal and cause chaos. Most couldn't care less about partisan politics, or even knew much about it. It wasn't exclusively Dems. It's a cause championed more by liberals because most Black people vote Democrat, as Republicans largely ignore them. At the Capitol, violence was the goal of a much larger percentage. They were protesting over a lie spread by many, many Republicans and the POTUS himself. They weren't opportunists from DC there to loot and take advantage of the chaos. They stormed the building immediately. It was a purely political coup attempt with a level of coordination far surpassing that of the street rioters in those cities.

  6098. Law enforcement 101: If the cops have REASONABLE SUSPICION that a crime has occured, they do an INVESTIGATION. If they find further evidence of a crime, they bring that evidence to a prosecutor, who then decides whether or not to indict. If the prosecutor doesn't indict, it doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing. It means there was not enough evidence to prosecute. If a crime is prosecuted, and the defendent is not found guilty, the defendent is found NOT GUILTY of a CRIME. They are not found INNOCENT. It doesn't mean there was no reason for an investigation. It doesn't mean the cops and/or prosecutor, themselves, committed a crime. There was plenty of reason to suspect that the Russians committed a crime, hence reason to investigate. Common sense said that the Trump campaign may have been involved, since they were the BENEFICIARIES of that crime. The beneficiaries LIED to the cops. 16 Trump associates lied, and denied ANY involvement with the Russians. Trump, himself, lied about dealings with the Russians. Trump's people WERE SECRETLY CONTACTING THE MAIN SUSPECTS - THE RUSSIANS. That is REASONABLE SUSPICION. Any questions?

  6100. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."

  6105. The obvious is that they aren't sneaking in illegally. They are asking for asylum, and most will be turned away. It's about the dumbest way possible to sneak-in drugs and terrorists. Trump IGNORES the obvious on a regular basis.

  6106. It's a MARKETING problem. Tobacco companies can't use cartoons and fruit flavors because they target kids who can't legally use the product. Military-looking rifles that hold dozens of rounds aren't marketed to hunters. Handguns are designed to use on humans - for self defense. "ARs" are marketed to wannabe soldiers. There's no legal purpose for them. Silencers are illegal for that reason. When do you legally need one? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible, rational people, but AR-type rifles attracted a different type.

  6107. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn as National Security Advisor. Flynn was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  6114. This is not complicated. Half of the country is liberal. Most liberals think Trump is racist. Therefore, about half the country would think he is racist. Why the hell is that so hard to believe? Oh, yeah, because you idiots have this preconceived, unfounded notion that CNN is always lying to you. Well, it isn't even a CNN poll. It is Quinnipiac, an INDEPENDENT polling organization. But, let me guess, they're in cahoots with the liberal deep state, too, right?

  6115.  @MachiavellisThePrince  I hope so. They're sure not attracting minority voters, either. Hell, they're not even attracting NEW voters at all. They're just trying to hold onto their base. Trump hasn't had one day with an approval rating over 50%, so he and the GOP will be desperate next year, and I'm sure they'll try to cheat.

  6116. I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but I think Trump has ODD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, a condition where someone refuses to take advice or suggestions simply because they can't stand to be told what to do. It's why he repeats behavior that reflects poorly on him, even though he is obsessed with his image. A family member I know well has this condition. I always said, "If he was standing in the road, and I said, 'Car's coming. Move,'" he would stand there and get hit rather than move. When Trump got elected, I started noticing LOTS of similarities between them. I used to also think that if my family member had money or power, he'd be dangerous.

  6125. Donna Adams - What are you talking about? 30 years? Dems and Republicans have been winning elections at about an equal rate for over 100 years. The "Do nothing Democrats" have done plenty. The House has passed literally hundreds of bills that McConnell, "The Grim Reaper," won't put up for a vote. Meanwhile, Republicans still haven't come up with a health care plan, an infrastructure plan, built their wall, or done ANYTHING policy-wise, and they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative majority on the court for the first two years of Trump. Since then, they've only lost the House. Republicans are so used to playing the oppressed victims, they forget that they're in charge.

  6133. The media didn't lie to start a probe into Russian collusion. The probe started because Trump lied about collusion with Russia. Imagine if Clinton had won, and during the campaign we knew that: - Clinton said, "Russia, if you're listening, if you can find Trump's deleted emails..." - The Russians were meddling in her favor and hacked the RNC. - Knowing about this meddling, Clinton had the DNC platform changed to favor Russia's war on Ukraine. Then, after Clinton won - but lost the popular vote, it was revealed that: - New President Clinton appointed a man to head the State Department who had received Russia's highest award for a foreigner. (This goes too deep to summarize in this post. Funny, Tillerson was one of Trump's most qualified cabinet picks - until Trump fired him the day after he publicly criticized Putin). - During the campaign, Chelsae Clinton, John Podesta, and Uma Abeden had met with Russian government surrogates to discuss trading sanction relief for dirt on Donald Trump. - Clinton's son-in-law/top advisor was working on lifting sanctions imposed for the very offense of meddling, plus those imposed for illegally invading Ukraine. - After denying ANY Russian contacts by ANY associates, it turned out that 16 of them had Russian contacts during the campaign. - One associate, a Watergate figure, and self-described "dirty trickster", bragged about contacts with the VERY HACKERS of the RNC, and the VERY WEAPONIZERS of the hacked information. - Clinton's White House Security Advisor was caught discussing sanction relief with a Russian Ambassador during the transition. - Clinton fired the FBI Director and said that she did it "because the Clinton/Rusher thing is a 'hoax'". - President Hillary Clinton continued to cast doubt on the fact that Russia meddled at all, against the findings of the FBI and CIA, and continued to resist imposing sanctions for that very meddling. - More was revealed about Clinton's financial ties to shady Russian banks known to be involved in money laundering. (The analogy gets a little crazy here, since Clinton was a New York Senator and resident. You get the point, right? Lots of Russian money is laundered through New York real estate - Trump's home state and lifelong profession). NOW, WOULDN'T YOU WANT AN INVESTIGATION?? If you say no, you are a liar! But wait, there's more...During the investigation, imagine that we found out that: - After saying she had no deals pending in Russia, Clinton was revealed to have been working on opening a huge hotel in Moscow during the campaign. - John Podesta was offering insider polling data and briefings on the campaign to a Russian intelligence officer to whom he owed money. - Podesta is convicted of multiple felonies, including Conspiracy against the United States. - Clinton's lawyer pleads guilty to multiple felonies and implicates President Clinton, herself, as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation involving bank fraud and tax evasion. The feds cite her as "Individual 1". - Clinton's disgraced National Security Advisor pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about those sanction discussions with the Russians. - Clinton's "dirty trickster" is arrested for multiple felonies. - Yet another Clinton staffer, a campaign National Security Advisor she swears was just a "coffee boy" pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about suggesting a meeting with the Russians for their help with the election. - I'll just throw out a few more names here: Carter Page, Rick Gates, Hope Hicks, Jeff Sessions...all tied to the Russia thing in varying degrees... If Mueller declined to recommend indicting Clinton - who was unindictable anyway...If Mueller declined to indict Chelsae and her husband, who President Hillary would surely pardon, WOULD YOU SAY, "NO HARM, NO FOUL. GEE, I GUESS IT REALLY WAS ALL JUST A WITCH HUNT AFTER ALL. WE OWE CLINTON AN APOLOGY"?? I didn't think so.

  6134. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? Is this acceptable from a US President? How about if that President was Obama, Clinton, or a Democrat? What would conservatives say then?

If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS. FOX News can't pass the health inspection.

  6151. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service. He should have learned his lesson then - before he was even elected. His voters should have seen the red flags, too). Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. Trump stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

There are many cases of police brutality, but this is NOT one of them.

ONLY Biden? With no shred of evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win?

  6173. I was wrong about Trump. I thought he was a con man, not a con artist. Tricking the stupid shouldn't be an art form. Now, I see that he's the Picasso of bullshit. He lies constantly, but he convinced the biggest skeptics, conspiracy theorists, that he's honest. Politicians have always said, "I'm an outsider", but he made folks think he was the first. He thinks proper spelling is "smock" and "boarder", but he got people to enroll at Trump University. He's played more suckers than PT Barnum. He's inspired xenophobia that would make Hitler jealous. He's charmed more followers than Jim Jones, and he has the personality of a rabid raccoon. He didn't just con the stupid. He's gotten Senators, CEOs, and otherwise smart people to back his dumb ideas. Now, he must take it up a notch and lead the flat earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince them the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe what you want to believe.

  6174. At least "Sleepy" Joe doesn't use the same derrogatory, childish nickname for more than one person like Trump does. First it was "Sleepy Eyes" Chuck Todd.

  6177. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.6 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're advanced enough to design spacecraft versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  6179. He uses an unsecured cell phone because the secured ones don't keep contacts in them. (That's the point). But he'll sure complain about Hillary's emails.
    2
  6180. For a self-declared "germaphobe," Trump only seems to worry about germs when he's accused of sexual assault or paranoid about restaurant workers spitting in his food.
    2
  6181. So, let me get this straight. It's summer, 2016. Clinton and Trump win their primaries. Clinton is heavily favored to win the general election. So, she goes to the head of the CIA and says, "I need you to start fabricating intelligence documents and intercepts so that, in case I lose, we can stick it to Trump". Brennen says, "Sure. Why not". Then, Clinton and Brennen go to the FBI, the DNI, DHS, The White House, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and about a dozen other intelligence services and ask them to do the same - fabricate evidence, documents, intercepts, etc., and they all say, "Sure". They go to Facebook and Twitter, and have them cook their books to make it look like Russians paid for ads. Hundreds, if not thousands of people get in on this conspiracy, and they're all cool about it. Nobody informs. Nobody gets caught.
    2
  6182. You idiots do realize Russian hackers took credit for the DNC hacks, right?
    2
  6183. Ana Gonzalez - You idiots are still sticking with that "nothing there" nonsense? Pick up a paper or turn on the news. Holy shit, you people are morons. 9 associates lying about it. Two separate instances of associates (Don Jr., Goeorge Papsdopoulis) ADMITTING collusion. Michael Flynn offering to testify for immunity with "a story to tell" as his lawyer says. You know there's more to come, right?
    2
  6184. A solid majority of the public supports the ACA. Dems are working on the side of public interest. Republicans are working for donor kickbacks and some anti-"socialist" ideology they're so used to they can't think straight anymore.
    2
  6185. Trump promised to protect pre-existing condition coverage. He promised near simultaneous repeal and replace, and that everyone would be covered, with better coverage, for less. He said he'd release his tax returns after the "audit". Mexico would pay for the wall...and his base insists he keeps his promises.
    2
  6186. She thinks outside the box. Good for her. Why not have a president with McGyver skills?
    2
  6187. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico. Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

  6188. Nikolai Collushnikov - WTF are you talking about? You obviously don't know what globalism means. Trump is a globalist.
    2
  6189. Silence DoGood - Never proven? Sure. Trump pays off anyone who falsely accuses him. You can't really be that naive.
    2
  6190. Bernie said he will legalize marijuana by executive order. Now, he needs to EXPLAIN what Democratic Socialism means, and stop the Republican's fear mongering about it. Whoever the Democrat nominee is needs to run on three main things: Health care, education, and marijuana. Health care is a kitchen table issue, and the Republicans have failed to come up with a plan. Trump is actively trying to END pre-existing conditions protections, and he is flat-out lying about that. Education needs revamping, and that's an issue for the Democrats. Republicans don't care, and some go so far as to call teachers unions "terrorist organizations". Trump is hellbent on privatizing education and purposely called public schools "government schools", an obvious attempt to neglect and underfund it. Donald Trump's election shows us just how bad the education system has gotten. Legal marijuana will bring in tax revenue and contribute to a healthier society. It will mitigate the damage caused by harder drugs. (I have solid reasons to believe this, too much to explain here). It will go a long way towards criminal justice reform, something I don't think Trump's initiative went very far in doing.

  6191. Jennifer Hensley - Enough of that "CNN is trying to shut out Bernie" bullshit! It's simply not true. Bernie Sanders has appeared on CNN just as often, and probably more than any of the other candidates. I like Bernie, but his following has gone past energized and into stubborn. Don't even start to resemble those MAGA cultists! Bernie has a serious electability issue because he has labeled himself a socialist. And don't tell me, "But it's DEMOCRATIC Socialist". I know that. Liberals know that. But the swing voters who will decide this election do not understand that, and Trump WILL target them disinformation and fear about it. Bernie needs to EXPLAIN what Democratic Socialism means. He was asked about how he would counter those attacks recently, and he dodged the question. He must explain it if he becomes the nominee or he WILL lose to Trump, and we can't afford that.
    2
  6192. They conceeded some kind of negligence for endangering the woman next door when a stray bullet went into her wall, but not for the innocent woman who was killed sleeping in her bed. The war on drugs is ridiculous and needs to end. The tactics used by law enforcement are very disproportional to how they enforce other crime laws. They'll raid a house like a war manuver over a small bag of coke not knowing anything really about who lives there and who is involved or knowledgeable of criminal activity.
    2
  6193. He literally called himself the "king of debt". If he tripped and fell in a mud puddle, he would say he meant to do it because his skin was getting dry.
    2
  6194. Steve Austin - Trump is adding to the debt at a higher rate than Obama. Publicly, Trump said he would eliminate the debt eight years. Privately, he said he didn't care that it was projected go up in the next eight years because "I'll be gone then".
    2
  6195. SiSiSiUSA - When Hollywood makes a movie about Trump, and they will, it will have to be a Cohen Brothers' style dark comedy. It will be one of those movies where it's no mystery if the main character turns out to be a villian or not. It will just be understood.
    2
  6196. Jose Robles - He once said Obama was going to start a war with Iran in order to get re-elected, so he obviously thinks that's a tactic that would work. Then, he started shit with Iran during his impeachment during an election season. Coincidence?
    2
  6197. In time, a lot of people are going to realize that Hillary Clinton knows what she's talking about.
    2
  6198. joyfullydreaded13 - That's the point. It's not believable. I know sarcasm doesn't come through well in print. It's funny that Trump cultists think it makes sense.
    2
  6199. Ramon Guzman - Yeah. The parts where I said, "The deep state knows why" are where I could not think of ANY far out, crazy thing a Trump follower could come up with to explain things.
    2
  6200. Cody - What are they reporting that isn't newsworthy? You aren't too bright, are you?
    2
  6201. Dan - They're just repeating the lie enough times for enough people to believe it, and get enough votes to keep them in power. And since there is a nugget of skewed truth in there, as some companies have come back, you can't convince the morons that the policy isn't working.
    2
  6202. Anyone on anything understands that they can't breathe. That's why he said told them he couldn't breathe. But maybe he was going to go all supervillian on all four of them, break the cuffs, catch his breath, pray to the god of superGUN, and start popping caps in the cops...Seriously?
    2
  6203. People who live in glass houses...
    2
  6204. Biden is releasing 21 years of tax returns. What's the MAGA cult excuse for Trump not releasing his from the past four years? Audit again? "He doesn't have to?" "What about [something irrelevant]?" Or just silence?
    2
  6205. I really think Trump resents his country. After his business failures, he couldn't borrow from US banks. He never blames himself, so he blamed the system. Along comes Putin to lend him money. Then, he runs for president, vowing to destroy the administrative state. He won, and started giving Putin everything he's wanted. But Trump followers remain in denial.
    2
  6206. He's either a bad businessman or a tax cheat. He's probably both. It is OBVIOUS that he deflated the value of assets he reported to the IRS. Geez, his personal lawyer, his niece, his sister, and a dozen people he has worked with over the years have said so. WTF is wrong with the MAGA nuts?
    2
  6207. I don't see the socio-political climate under Trump as right vs. left. It's common sense vs. stupidity. The right doesn't have a monopoly on stupid. I'll never understand Obama to Trump voters, but I think they are more uninformed than dumb. But it is clear that Trump supporters, as a group, are DEFINITELY more ignorant and have lower IQs. The bulk of the conspiracy theorists and racists are Trump supporters. Read these comment sections, and it's clear they are less articulate and have worse grammar skills. The supreme irony, though, is that they are the most skeptical. They think they're immune to bullshit, EXCEPT for when it comes to Trump - the biggest bullshitter on the planet! Trumpers - use those keen bullshit detectors on him! Be OBJECTIVE! Ask yourself what you would think if Obama or Clinton did and said what he does!
    2
  6208. Nobody talked sense into him. It's all political to him. "How will this play in the media?" He has trapped himself between being an "America first isolationist" and someone who surrounded himself with war hawks. Flynn wanted to invade Iran as much as Bolton. Don't think for a moment that Trump gives two shits about people or their well-being. Don't be fooled for a second. Don't think he thinks about strategy, the military, American ideals, or ANYTHING other than himself. He doesn't read. He doesn't have the patience or attention span for his job. He is lazy and narcissistic. TRUMPERS, LEARN THIS!!!
    2
  6209. Billy Summers - I like Sanders, but his running as a socialist makes me nervous. A reporter asked about how he would handle the way he would surely be attacked as a socialist by the right, and he dodged the question. He needs to EXPLAIN what a Democratic Socialist is so they can't come at him as someone who wants to turn the country into Venezuela or the USSR.
    2
  6210. Hell no, he wasn't joking, and if he had been, he should still be impeached for being that stupid. He used that "joking" excuse about dangling pardons to get his wall built quickly. DEMS NEED TO INVESTIGATE THAT. They need to subpoena everyone he supposedly joked to, and ask them if they took it as a joke or took action.

  6211. Cute Little Suzie - No, it was PROVEN, troll.

  6212. 52% want him removed. Not disapprove. They want him removed.

  6213. justinbam KAG 2020 - Excuse for a lost election? In 2000, GW Bush lost the popular vote, and it came down to a state where his brother was governor. But GW Bush came into office with a 62% approval rating. Democrats lose about half of all elections, and most liberals weren't thrilled about Hillary. We can't get over an election? We're "butthurt"? YOU idiots need to get over it. It's not about who lost. It's about who won. An inept, inexperienced, extremist, habitually lying, USEFUL IDIOT, useful to domestic special interests as well as Vladimir Putin.

  6214.  Brian Jones  - Wow, are you ignorant! I mean, you exhibit signs you're a Russian troll, but you just showed you have absolutely no understanding of how the Supreme Court works.

  6216. I think we're going to find out the US intelligence people knew a lot more than we've heard about. They warned Trump, and the dumbass didn't listen. We're going to find out Obama did a lot more than we know to combat it. They've probably had a smoking gun for over a year. Trump is an elected official. Mueller has to dot every i and cross every t, but I think all we've seen is the tip of the iceberg.
    2
  6217. I suppose you think Trump has credibility?
    2
  6218. Before you go into all of these "deep state" conpiracy theories and hyper-partisn nonsense, you should think about what the JOB of the intelligence community is.
    2
  6219. NDFOOTBALL - That's you Cult 45 members' answer for everything - Trump won. Oh, and "What about Hillary?" It is YOU who cannot accept the truth. You KNOW the truth, but you refuse to accept it.

  6220. If Trump went under oath, the Bible he swore on would burst into flames.
    2
  6221. D. J. - He doesn't want war? Are you high? Ukraine.
    2
  6222. Scahoni - CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, multiple ballot audits, recounts in every battleground state, an extremely detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly attempted to commit fraud himself...and you still think he was cheated??
    2
  6223. Scahoni - Trump's own chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed 2020 election bid. Nowhere does it say there was fraud, and it acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead over Trump.
    2
  6224. 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.
    2
  6225. Deena K - Uh, because the meddled in our election, moron.

  6226. Trump followers either don't care or they don't want to know. Either way is no good.
    2
  6227. name1.1 name 2.1 - Hey Einstein, CNN only said what the officials are saying. It's called reporting the news. You media bashers are fkking ridiculous. It's ironic that you people are always crying "bias" when YOU are the ones engaging in confirmation bias. How about listening to the message before reflexively attacking the messenger. You don't even know how to watch the news!
    2
  6228. The "Squad". Now there's a group of America-hating bitches who refused to release funding to save poor Latino kids from cages Obama built, that lack soap and mattresses. That couldn't be because that STAND ALONE EMERGENCY BILL wasn't stand-alone, and sent money to the military, could it?
    2
  6229. It's not secure. It's not an open border either. Neither party has succeeded in fixing its problems, which didn't start with the Biden administration. Can we just get real?

  6230. Miles Curtiss - It's a network that literally trashes higher education.
    2
  6231. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY?

  6234. eliassalcedo5229 - That's hilarious. Didn't she say, "I'd rather be pretty than smart. You can fake being smart"? She's got it backwards. You can only fake the dumb into thinking you're smart. Lots of women can fake pretty with make-up. And she ain't pretty, either.

  6235. Just don't protest vote for Kanye. That would be the same as voting for Trump.

  6236. The election was stolen from Kanye West!

  6237. FOX News has a monopoly on right wing, visual media. To compete with them, an outlet either has to report more factual content, which turns them into "liberal" media, or they have to go full MAGA like Newsmax, which doesn't have the power to compete on that level. FOX News had a brilliant, evil strategy - They moved to the right of the mainstream, and DEFINED "the left". It's really not conservative, it's ALTERNATIVE.
    2
  6238. Trump just hired 17 new lawyers to work on how to evoke executive privilege. (One for each of Mueller's "angry Democrats"). 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.
    2
  6239. I think they're both true - the extortion plot and the statutory/trafficking thing with Gaetz. To me, his explaination sounds like BS. And that's a shady crowd. Gaetz, Roger Stone, that crooked, crazy tax collector, all hanging with Trump every chance they got. That's some effed-up zh1t right there
    2
  6240. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.
    2
  6241. Something combustible in a confined space behind a projectile. Repealing the 2nd Amendment won't stop gun violence even if you got rid of all guns. It would lead to more bomb violence.
    2
  6242. bat in the attic - Take away guns, and they'll get better at making bombs. Explosions are simple, and there are too many combustible materials to regulate them all. I'm a liberal, and I favor gun control, but 2nd Amendment repeal isn't the answer. It would destroy industries, and it is unrealistic to think we could eliminate hunting and hunting-related businesses. And how long before the cops would give up their guns? Guns would find their way into the black market as long as the rest of the world has militaries, legal hunting and legal gun ownership. The gun nuts are right when they say, "If you criminalize guns, only the criminals will have them".
    2
  6243. KL - I can name 25,000 lies Trump told in 4 years. You can't name even one told by the media.
    2
  6244. As Trump says, White Nationalists make up a small group of people with serious problems. But it's only a RELATIVELY small group that used to be a larger group during the mid 20th Century. Their serious problems caused us very serious problems. Trump is self-interested and ignorant of history. His rhetoric is fueling the resurgence of this movement. White Nationalism is on a sharp rise since he took office. The statistics don't lie. If we're not aware of history, we're doomed to repeat it. Surely, Trump has been advised of this, but he chooses to ignore the advice because he wants every votes. He has never had even small majority support, and he is desperate for every vote. You can argue that there is Antifa on the left, but for every Antifa member, there are a hundred right-wing militants, and I haven't heard any left-wing Steve Kings in Congress defending Antifa's ideology. There are virtually ZERO racially based hate groups on the left. When they vote, all of them vote Republican. You can argue about "leftists" attacking free speech, but that's pure hypocrisy. I can point out how lawyers for that kid from Kentucky are suing the free press. Free speech only matters to them when it's convenient.
    2
  6245. The Dems want a very small tax on the richest Americans. They can afford it with no change in their lifestyle. In the past year, American billionaires' wealth went up $1.3 trillion. If there are 1300 of them, and I don't think that's even close, they all got $1 billion richer.
    2
  6246. ...There are 614 American billionaires...Well, 613 if Donald Trump is lying about his net worth like he always has.

  6248.  @theangryquad3127  - Charged dropped on WHO charged with WHAT? You don't agree with those decisions because...? Have you done a study of the literally thousands of arrests that have happened between the BLM and the Capitol riots? Do you realize how many different crimes of different levels in different states and jurisdictions there have been? Think, McFly. Take off your tribal, partisan lens. It's messing up your vision.

  6249.  @jimcapone1326  - Duh, okay. If you say so. It fits squarely in the definition of insurrection.
    2
  6250.  @jimcapone1326  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  6252. David Shaw - The jobs to which Obama was referring DIDN'T come back. Under Obama, unemployment was cut in half. Under Trump, about one percentage point. If you think 45% approval is good, you're setting the bar pretty low. Trump has not had one day over 50%, and it was already in the low 40s before the impeachment. 50% want him removed. His numbers are worse than Nixon's and the two other impeached presidents during their impeachments. If Trump's numbers improve due to impeachment, it goes to my theory that the right only defines itself by its opposition, not by its ideas. You need nemeses because you have nothing else. Just a bunch of hypocritical contrarians.
    2
  6253. The reason Trump comes off negative in the media is because he does negative things. He practically has his own mainstream media outlet. How would you folks like it if Obama had been on the phone with Anderson Cooper every night? Hypocrites and projectors. That's all you are.
    2
  6254. John B - The Russians did interfere, and the Trump campaign colluded with them - TWICE. This year, they did it in plain sight.
    2
  6255. If Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..," then asked Ukraine and China to investigate Trump, and insisted that soliciting foreign help was fair oppo research... If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?
    2
  6256. Bill Norwood - The photo proves he wasn't a "coffee boy". Duh. What is it with you people. You take anything that clearly is not direct proof of collusion and say, "That's not proof". Nobody said it was, moron. BTW, He ADMITTED to collusion. So did Don Jr. Collusion is not a crime. The crime is CONSPIRACY.
    2
  6257. Look at how many views this video has. FOX News has got your number. Usually, FOX News wouldn't run a story about someone warning people not to vote for Trump...unless that person is black. Then, you get crazy comments like one above that say this is the reason they ARE voting for Trump. Trump followers need to grow the hell up. He's a lying crook, for God's sake, and it is as plain to see as the sky is blue.

  6258. Maybe Barrack IS Santa Claus. Well, maybe not, but he should at least make a showing once a year on one of those "liberal" media outlets, just to give renewed hope to is all.

  6261.  @rude1527  WRONG. They never said it was a hoax, and a lot of people underestimated it in the beginning. What's your point? Everybody quickly got on board with treating it as seriously as it is except the Republican politicians, who are still downplaying it. Trump actually called it a Democrat hoax. Do you understand the gravity of that?? The PRESIDENT baselessly blamed a world pandemic on his opposition party.

  6266. Trump gets little credit for the economy. 1)- Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term, but it creates a bubble. 82% of the benefits from the tax cuts go to the top 1%! Now that Trump is ballooning the deficit - into the trillions - with those tax cuts, he's saying we have to tighten the belt. He just cut raises for government employees. Inflation is rising faster than wages now. 2)- Under Obama, the unemployment rate was cut in half - from around 10% to around 5%. Trump only gets credit for not screwing that up. It has come down only a few tenths of a percent on his watch. Black unemployment is down because all unemployment is down. What policy has he implemented to account for blacks specifically?

  6267. Who will be indicted for what? Where did you even hear that indictments were expected? Do you have inside information? Did somebody leak something? Or do you just expect indictments, and you're presenting your little wish as news?

  6268. Placido Khan - You're saying that because you agree with what the people ON CNN are saying. That's what you media bashers don't get. You aren't objective. You are biased - and yes, I can tell that from your short comment. It's always the same thing, "CNN said..." You listen for the TONE, not the facts. You attribute what people say ON THE NEWS to the news outlet itself. Obviously, opinion will always creep into reporting, but media bashers ONLY look at that, and completely miss the facts.

  6272. There are people Trump is going after, and is happy to have his followers go after viciously. There are career lawmakers and former administration officials like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Former presidents of his own country like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. There are career law enforcement and intelligence people like Comey, McCabe, and Brennan. People who brought down Gotti and bin Laden. Non-partisan public servants and diplomats. People who have attended top secret briefings and war room meetings. And you've got Donald Trump, with no respect for them, and with no prior experience in ANY government agency or office. He's never been a mayor or a county clerk. And he calls those people "leftist, deep state operatives" who should be tried for treason. Then, you've got career Republican lawmakers. He's their man. He gives them what they want, but still, he's an outsider who never put in a day of work in their field before becoming their leader. And they just LET him come in and take over? They let him smear and attack their colleges and elder statesmen with such disrespect and apathy? WTF are they thinking??

  6274. Biden OBVIOUSLY didn't think or expect us to believe there are more Chinese retirees than workers. "There are more people retired" was clearly to say there are more than there used to be. It was vague wording. Those saying they're shocked that CNN would fact-check a Dem don't see that they try HARDER to criticize Dems in a futile attempt to quiet that criticism and prove they're being fair. Media should just do their job! They'll never stop hypocrites like Hannity from crying "liberal bias." He'll always call CNN a mob in bed with Dems, no matter how much they report negative things about Biden or Cuomo. Yes, Biden got the other things wrong. He needs to tighten it up. But they weren't attempts to deceive. It was bad fact checking by Biden, himself. It's still a far cry from the habitual, deliberate lying by the last guy.
    2
  6275.  @Macdaddy-mx8ds  And when you look at the facts, CNN is usually correct about the facts, and FOX News tries to report as little factual content as possible. It's all editorial, liberal-bashing, buzz word salad. The reports are so long, and when they're over, they haven't told you a thing except "Liberal media bad."

  6276. It isn't like he hasn't shown us is for decades. Before he ran for president in 2016, he was lying about how many floors were in his buildings and calling talk shows pretending to be someone else. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. On 9/11, he said he now had the tallest building in Manhattan. Not only was that appalling, it wasn't even close to true. He was picking fights with Rosie O'Donnell over what was said on a ladies talk show. He was speculating about his infant daughter's legs and future breasts. During his campaign he made the "2nd Amendment people" crack. It was revealed he likes to pop a tic-tac and "grab 'em by the pussy". He asked Russia to hack our systems. He professed to know more about the Bible than anyone, and couldn't name a verse. He called for the execution of Ed Snowden while praising Wikileaks. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He boasted about being able to get away with shooting someone on 5th Avenue...and 60 million dumbasses said "Yeah. Let's make THAT guy president!" I didn't agree with Hillary Clinton calling a nebulous group of Republican voters deplorable. But it was no worse than the insults Trump has hurled at private citizens on an almost daily basis. Now that I see how these Trump supporters STILL support him, I say, yeah, they're deplorable.

After he died, Trump threw a fit about the flag being at half staff, and ordered it raised while every other flag in the country remained lowered.

  6290. Tyler Delzell - How is Biden a mess so far? That's ridiculous. For one thing, the $1400 is the remainder of the $2000 that Trump couldn't get passed. It's added to the meager $600 they did pass. Geez, at least learn what's going on and give Biden a chance to even screw up before you call him a mess. If you supported Trump, it's pretty ridiculous ti complain about EOs.
    2
  6291. Tyler Delzell - They aren't votes. It's an APPROVAL RATING, and Trump never got over 50% because he treated half the country as an enemy. Trump turned a blind eye to Chinese atrocity. He showed SUPPORT for their Muslim concentration camps.

  6292.  @ramwin1312  Oh, okay. I guess if gangsters say "Wack him" instead of "kill", or coke dealers say "blow" instead of "cocaine" they can't get in trouble? Your comment is ridiculous. If Obama did and said what he did and said, what would you think? You know what you'd think. SMH.

  6293.  @ramwin1312  "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  6299. Again, Biden said something inartful and stupid, but it wasn't racist. For Trump to criticize him for being inarticulate is the mountain calling the mole hill big. Biden was asked about Venezuelan vs. Cuban Latinos. Those are different COUNTRIES. He was trying to say they have more diverse backgrounds and ideologies compared to African Americans. The key word is AMERICAN, as opposed to immigrants from different nations. The MAGA crowd CONSTANTLY tries to explain what Trump "meant" because he constantly lacks articulation, but they'll sure pounce on anything Biden says. It's ridiculous that Trump so often throws stones when he lives in a glass house. You'd think he would try like hell to avoid bringing up senility, racism, and corruption.

  6300. William Burgess - Hell yeah, if it will help to get rid of Trump, who is bigger liar and is more likely to get us into a messed-up war than a warmonger.

  6301. Trump takes seriously "what a lot of people are talking about." What "people are talking about" to him is largely what he reads on Twitter. He blocks those who disagree with him, and they talk about what he puts out there. That's a hell of a feedback loop! He can promote a conspiracy theory on Twitter. The Twitterverse talks about it. FOX News and Russian trolls talk about it. Then, it must have validity because "a lot of people are saying." It's ironic that the MAGA crowd goes on and on about brainwashing, bias, lying, and propaganda. It's projection on steroids.

  6302. S500 Triumph - COVID 19 is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, and it's contagious. We need to lock down PROPERLY. The way to save the economy is to do it right and get it over with ASAP. The rest of the world did it, but we refuse to adopt its strategies. Stop opening and re-closing schools and businesses. Stop taking every decline in COVID numbers as a sign that it's gone. If you refuse to stay away from crowds, AT LEAST wear a mask. Pick up good hygiene and distance habits.

  6303. National Security Adviser to both the Trump campaign and the White House, Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort's partner, Rick Gates, and campaign Security Adviser, George Papadopoulos have all pleaded guilty to felonies. All three are cooperating with Mueller. Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 felonies, is seeking a plea deal with Mueller, has another impending trial, and a possible retrial on 10 more felony counts. Paul Manafort ally, Sam Patton has pleaded guilty to foreign lobbying charges and is cooperating. Trump lawyer and "fixer", Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty to felonies, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator, and is seeking a plea deal. National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker was granted immunity. Trump Organization CFO, Alan Weiselburg was also granted immunity. Over a dozen Russians tied to Putin have been indicted. The Trump Foundation is under investigation. Donald Trump, Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump are all named in a lawsuit. White House lawyer, Don McGahn spoke to Mueller for 30 hours. Hope Hicks, Sam Nunberg, and a dozen or so more Trump associates and current and former White House staffers have spoken to Mueller. Roger Stone is predicting his own indictment. Carter Page, Donald Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner are under clouds of suspicion about collusion with the Russians. Tick tock, Don Don.

  6306. Democrats try to smear their opponents during an election campaign. Republicans identify future tough opponents when they first enter politics and start trying to smear them then, before they can gain popularity. Crooked Democrats break the law for personal benefit and try to hide it as they try to do their jobs. When caught, they're like rotten fruit falling off of a tree. Crooked Republicans try to change the law to make their corruption no longer illegal. They poison the whole tree. Democrats feel that doing a good job will make them look good. Republicans are all about getting and keeping the job regardless of how to actually do the job well. They remind me of that old movie, Joe Versus the Volcano. "I know he can get the job, but can he do the job? I'm not arguing that with you, Harry...Harry! I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job?!" It sure described Donald Trump, desperate to keep a job he had no interest in learning or doing. All PR, no substance.

  6307. News media - Call Trump's bluff. For an entire news cycle, report only what he wants. The booming economy, the Supreme Court, and border control. Call the White House, run it by him, and ask permission. Don Don will get an erection and say, "Yes! But don't go into detail. No analysis - about how his border control policies involve separating families, how his SCOTUS picks were just picking names from lists compiled by far-right groups, and how he inherited a good economy. It will be about four minutes of shameless praise that would make Kim Jong Un blush. Then, call him back and say, "Careful what you wish for, doucheface."

An actual tweet by the President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen: "CNN and others in the Fake News Business keep purposely and inaccurately reporting that I said the “Media is the Enemy of the People.” Wrong! I said that the “Fake News (Media) is the Enemy of the People,” a very big difference. When you give out false information - not good!" Lemme get this straight - He's saying we're "wrong!" about who he means is being dishonest, but he won't tell us who that is. And he won't specify what "dishonest" things they're actually saying. Makes sense.

  6316. Chaos Magnifigo - Holy shit, moron, it's not rocket science. WHO? WHICH networks said WHAT was a lie? He won't say. And using a STALIN term including the word, "enemy" - every day - is what makes it seem like he is "at war" with the media. Duh. Your post is nonsense.

Now, YOU'VE identified a few - the WHO, not the WHAT - But Trump won't. And Trump has a whole major network he COORDINATES WITH - FOX News, so the hypocrisy of you fucking idiots is stunning, when what FOX News is is basically state-run media, or media-run state.

  6324. Trump supporters, WAKE UP! He just pardoned the ranchers whose crimes led directly to a militia-backed armed takeover of a wildlife refuge. Gee, why do you think he did that? Remember Trump's "2nd Amendment people" remark during his campaign? When he endorsed police brutality? "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll defend you in court"? The nerve to say Maxine Waters incited violence! Trump would start a nuclear fucking war if he thought it would end the Russia probe. He has no lower limits. He understands nothing! You think he's smart?? HE WENT TO YALE, BUT CAN'T SPELL "THEY'RE" AND THINKS CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF A WORD SHOWS EMPHASIS. ALL CAPS IS HOW YOU DO THAT. He is an habitual liar! He constantly refers to "ratings" and "reviews" because he sees his job as that of a reality show host. HE IS A DANGER TO THIS COUNTRY!

  6350. - 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.

I've watched all of the "gotcha" videos that try to say it's all fake, and literally ALL IF THEM are wrong. It's like Trump supporters citing "If you like your doctor... " to try to create a false equivalency with Trump, who is an habitual liar.

  6359. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  6361. 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.

  6368. brian gardner - It's not an all or nothing thing. Some things are better handled by the free market in the private sector, and some things are better handled by the government, the collective. The health care system has been taken over by greedy capitalists, so I welcome any idea that works to remedy that, no matter what you call it. This automatic dismissal of all things that in any way suggest socialism only limits the scope of ideas and gives politicians empty talking points.

  6371. Forced out in scandal - Acosta, Price, Zinke, Pruitt, Flynn, and Porter. Forced out under a cloud of suspicion - Hicks and McFarland. Forced out/fired for displeasing Trump and/or in protest - Sessions, Yates, Bharara, Gates, Mattis, McMaster, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Kelly, Bannon, Neilson, Preibus... Staff members with security clearance issues - Kushner, Ivanka, and 32 others. A member of Trump's legal team quit to avoid implication for potential Obstruction. McGahn threatened to quit when Trump tried to fire Mueller, then was forced out. Literally the most turnover of any POTUS in history. "All the best people", right?

  6374. Actually, the Russia thing is far from over. Trump has directed about a dozen witnesses to defy subpoenas, and Dems in Congress are working on getting court rulings to compel them to testify. These are people named many times in the Mueller Report as possible witnesses to multiple instances of obstruction. Stormy Daniels? Michael Cohen is in prison for felonies Trump is ON TAPE directing him to commit. Do you people even care that we KNOW the president flat-out lied about deals with the Kremlin and about having affairs with, and paying off a porn star and a Playboy model? Oh, I guess you don't care if that means a foreign adversary can blackmail the president or that he has lied over 12,000 times as long as he didn't do it under oath, right? Now, how would you feel if that was Obama? That's what I thought.

  6375. Funny what Trump and the Republicans think are threats to our country. Russian election interference is no big deal. Liberals are paranoid! But simply INVESTIGATING the Trump campaign reaching out to them is "treason" and "damaging the country." Liberals are overreacting to a world pandemic. But our freedom is at stake if we wear masks for a few months. Kids are going to turn out stupid and emotionally distressed if they miss a few months of school. People will turn into lonely, suicidal drug addicts if they can't go to bars for a while! Liberal BLM terrorists are creating anarchy in the streets. They have some nerve to protest a tiny problem like police brutality! But those statues are SACRED! They're socialists trying to take over. You'll wake up tomorrow in 1959 Cuba if you even acknowledge the problem of systemic racism!

  6376. Yes, release it so we can debunk it and throw it on the pile with Uranium One, Seth Rich, the Clinton Foundation, left wing sex ring, and all of those things we tell you idiots to fact-check, but you never do, and instead say EVERY news network, intelligence agency - foreign and domestic, DOJ official, Democrat, private firm and company that this touches are part of an absurdly large deep state conspiracy. Pretty soon, you'll be saying it was all directed by the Illuminati and the Lizard People - who are all leftists! Wait, some of you do say that.

  6390. The reason for GOP voter suppression tactics is that there are more of us than them, so high turnout favors Dems. Minorities are reliably more likely to vote Dem, so it doesn't take a statistician to figure out their motive. There's an easy solution - Vote. - Make sure before election day that they haven't purged your eligibility on some technicality. - Make sure they haven't removed your local drop box. - Make sure you have ID if they require it. In most states, you can register to vote at the DMV. - If you vote by mail, return your ballot ASAP in case the GOP tries to slow the mail again or remove your local mailbox at the last minute. - Clear your schedule for election day. - Dress for the weather forecast. Bring an umbrella in case the GOP makes the line longer and routs it outdoors. - Bring snacks and soft drinks. If you need a lot of weed to wait in a long line, bring extra snacks and soft drinks. - Wear a diaper in case the GOP tries to deny access to a restroom or sabotage the toilets, but whatever you do, VOTE!

  6391. I see Trump's classic fear mongering tactics are once again working on the stupid.
    2
  6392. It kills me when the MAGA crowd touts Trump as a "businessman". MOST politicians are businessmen (and women), and most have much more business experience. That's like, "He talked about jobs." They ALL talk about jobs. And he's far from the first "outsider" to run for president. "Outsider" might mean not corrupted by politics (yet), but it also means no experience! But give someone who has never been a city alderman or a dog catcher the TOP spot in government. Brilliant.
    2
  6393. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  6396. Sir Alfred Lawrence - The GOP wants voter ID laws for the SAME reason they don't want election security - It helps THEM. Voter fraud is NOT a real problem. Don't believe me. Ask Trump's own voter fraud commission. Russian interference IS a problem. In this climate, Mr. "It's all rigged" Trump should WANT TO DO THIS! Racial discrimination with voter ID laws is a real problem. Again, don't ask me. Ask the Supreme Court.

  6402. - 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. - Where there is a drug and child slave, and cheap labor SUPPLY, there is a DEMAND that we need to deal with. - 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? - Why shouldn't Trump 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. - We need comprehensive immigration reform. A path to citizenship, clear asylum policies, sensible border security measures, drug policy, including demand side solutions, legalized marijuana, and trade deals that INCLUDE security measures.

  6412.  Longhorn  - The bill is to combat voter suppression. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show three things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.
    2
  6413.  Longhorn  - Because states rights aren't and have never been absolute. We use federal guidelines for many things, and it should be obvious why I'm referring to federal elections. THEY'RE FEDERAL ELECTIONS. It especially affects the candidates and the citizens on that level. By the way, Texas Republicans tried to sue another state over their elections, and they wouldn't have tried to do that without the blessing of the Republican party, so that whole state's rights thing is just something they use when it suits them.

  6415. It isn't about qualifying how much of a "shithole" these countries are. It is beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! We're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. And don't tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry.

  6425. Communism is Slavery - If Biden did this, would you want an investigation? - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  6427. If Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..," then asked Ukraine and China to investigate Trump, and insisted that soliciting foreign help was fair oppo research... If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

  6431. Rough - Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  6432. You Trumpers are a bunch of Nazis. Is there anyone on the right who can be even a little critical of Trump who you won't call a traitor or a RINO? You do realize Trump has ZERO prior experience with politics or law, right? And that he doesn't read, and admits he depends on his gut to make decisions? But he's always right? WTF is wrong with you idiots???

  6433. Time to end the filibuster. If we can't get bipartisanship on this, we'll never get it. The Democrats' agenda has popular support across the political spectrum. Republicans are contributing nothing, and they're so hell-bent on opposition that they want Dems to fail at anything they do. All they have to do is obstruct and blame. End the filibuster now, pass infrastructure, minimum wage, voting rights protections, marijuana decriminalization...before the next election cycle.

Blow it, and you get no more, and you're cut out of the family business". LOL. Apparently, YOU don't know much about the rich. Trump was actually worth $400 million at age 8, because his father used him to hide taxable assets. Leaked tax information recently revealed that Donald Trump reported RECORD LOSSES over a ten year period while he was bragging to the world about how he was a financial genius. Having a reality show about finance doesn't make you a financial maven. Wake up.

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

The WHO and IMF are asking for a TOTAL of $50 billion from developed nations to help the undeveloped ones get vaccinated - or else the pandemic continues.

  6451. Trump wants Barr to investigate the "oranges" of the Russia probe, which was based on very reasonable suspicion, namely, that Trump and his people LIED THEIR ASSES OFF about contacts with Russians. The Mueller probe started because Trump created REASONABLE SUSPICION by firing Comey while inexplicably refusing to hold Russia accountable for meddling in our election. Trump insists the Mueller probe was legitimate enough to exonerate him, but at the same time, an illegitimate "witch hunt". And yet, Trump wants to investigate Joe Biden, his biggest political threat, even by sending his lawyer to a foreign country for dirt, with NO REASONABLE SUSPICION WHATSOEVER. Get it, you moronic Trump cultists?? You are being played, and you are fucking hypocrites!!

Mask use was studied and proven effective decades ago. No, it's not a reasonable request for me to dig up a study to prove something obvious to someone as ignorant as you who will just tell me the study is BS anyway. Google it. Better yet, go spout that nonsense to a nurse or doctor, and don't be surprised when they chew you out. Wearing a piece of cloth on your face during a global pandemic that has killed over 600,000 AMERICANS, brought the health care system to its limits, and almost crashed the economy is not too much to ask. People like you made those numbers that high and kept everything closed down LONGER than it had to be. Here's a finding of the medical community - If everybody acted like you, 2.2 million Americans would have died, and the economy would have crashed as well as the health care system.

Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe.

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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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.

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime.

  6466. BR0DUDEMAN - There is a process in choosing a jury that both sides are involved in. If you say the jury foreman was biased, you are also calling the judge biased for not removing them. The Trump administration made sentencing guidelines HARSHER for everybody, and now ostensibly say that doesn't apply to the president's friends. Stone bragged of being in touch with the very hackers AND disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. He reaped what he sowed.

  6467.  @ianbuchanan4243  Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  6472. 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
  6473. wwwaimiecapricecom - The Russian GOVERNMENT. It's illegal to conspire with a foreign government. We allow foreign lobbying. Like Flynn and Page, you can go to Russia and trash-talk your own country, (Yes, that's what they did), but you have to register as a foreign lobbyist, which they DID NOT.
    2
  6474. John Ward - There are absolutely assertions that Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to set up a back channel to the Kremlin to trade help with his money pit at 666 5th Ave. for sanction relief. Kushner does not deny it. He was ambiguous about whether he did it as a rep for the incoming administration or in his capacity as a real estate broker. It is not denied, and Jeff Sessions confirmed, that Papadopoulos suggested a meeting with the Russians. Their defense was that he was a "coffee boy", not that it didn't happen. It's what started the FBI probe. It was NOT the dossier. You can say all you want that the DNC emails were leaked and not hacked. So, it was just coincidence that 16 Trump campaign staff were reaching out to Russia and lied about it? Did the DNC make Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort attend the Trump Tower meeting? It wasn't just the DNC hacks, you know. The Russians ran a code-named operation that involved hacking 21 states' voter rolls, buying ads on Facebook, trolling all major social media outlets, targeting Trump associates, and too much more to name here. It defies common sense that both sides were reaching out to each other, but just couldn't achieve any "synergy". But I see you're one of those irrational conspiracy theorists since you've gone full MAGA and think Soros funds everything and the DNC emails were leaked, so you'll probably never be open to the truth.
    2
  6475. 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.

  6479. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and the police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. China's lies about COVID were bad, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  6480. Joe Black - Holy shit, do you CNN bashers spend do much time on YouTube bashing CNN that you don't realize there are MANY other news outlets independently sourcing the same facts? Even in other countries?? Or do you think the CIA plants the editors-in-chief in every news outlet worldwide? Do you people not even agree with the most BASIC FACTS? Reality, man. Try living in it.

  6481.  @bigdaddyhall7196  - Name one lie they told about Russia. One.

  6482. @Abel Dan Duran - FOX News, just a few days ago, literally, blatantly edited out a sentence in one of Joe Biden's speeches to make him sound racist when in context, it was nothing even remotely close to racist.
    2
  6483.  @JeanetteFaith  - Yes, and the bad news was TRUE. Not to mention, hello, Trump is a PROVEN HABITUAL LIAR, so to complain about his coverage is absurd. If those "lies" you say the media told were about Biden instead of Trump. If ANYTHING we criticized Trump for were things Biden did and said, can you SERIOUSLY say you'd feel the same way? If Biden did it. If Hillary did it. If Obama had done and said the SAME THINGS as Trump? We both know the answer to that, and that's what makes YOU the one with the bias problem, and makes your arguments a joke.

  6484. At this time, no. But when Trump's dirt becomes indefensible as his approval rating falls, enough Republican Senators will turn away from him. But I don't want to see a messy impeachment. I think he'll be forced to resign by his own party.
    2
  6485. The Republican lawmakers have no morals or ethics, but they do respond to the President's approval rating and their desire to win the White House in 2020. The next two years - if Trump even survives them - will not be like the first. They will be worse. He is lying more, becoming more unhinged, and as time goes by, all of the enemies he is making are plotting ways to get back at him.

  6486. Nukes at the command of narcissistic, megalomaniacal world leaders worries the hell out of me whether they're in the hands of Putin, Kim Jong Un, or Donald Trump. What happens when those people age bitterly, not yet reaching their idealistic goals, get isolated and paranoid, all while their narcissism has them thinking the world begins and ends with them?

  6487.  @silkcitysocialist420  - I can't argue with you there. It's definitely hard, if not impossible to sell her ideas to that bunch. But I worry about her appearance to that crowd, too. We know why they targeted Omar, AOC and the squad right off the bat. It's because Republicans recognized a threat, the same way Trump started going after Biden before he even announced he'd run last year. The Squad is a big target for them. Slapping that "socialist" label on them is very effective not just among conservatives, but also with swing voters. By "too ambitious" I guess I really mean APPEARING to be an overly ambitious socialist, especially before she really gets to know how that town works, and makes herself a target or gets goaded into a ridiculous Twitter war that she can't win because it was by their design. Boebert just us just how sincere her "apology" was, so there should really be no more to say to her. Isn't there's some old saying in politics about wrestling with a pig?

  6488. What? Uranium One? Non-starter, unless you think they are going to indict the heads of 8 other agencies, plus Obama (the only one who could veto the deal) and have evidence of any impropriety with the Clinton Foundation - a highly rated worldwide charity started by a former President and First Lady/Senator/Sec. of State. Emails? Over. Done. She was found to have acted recklessly with no malice or harm done, and no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges. Benghazi? 8 times adjudicated. Russian collusion? So ridiculous it isn't worth mentioning. WTF is wrong with you idiots?
    2
  6489. His mandate was to look into Russian involvement in the 2016 election. You know, the meddling they did to get a REPUBLICAN elected. The probe that revealed that Trump and 16 members of his campaign lied about their Russian contacts. But yeah, they should have focused on the VICTIMS. Idiot.

  6494. Doublespeak: Which one is it, Trump followers? There WAS a quid pro quo, as Mulvaney admitted, but it was perfectly legal, (yet somehow, Biden's, done in service of the country and backed by the REPUBLICANS, supposedly wasn't), or there was no quid pro quo at all? TRUMP IS ARGUING BOTH.

Would you morons please go fucking learn something before you spout that shit and vote!?

  6505. If any of you Trump followers are serious about understanding what's going on with Trump and the Russians, I recommend watching The Rachel Maddow show from 12.10.19. if you can still find it on Youtube or wherever.

Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

Have you heard any of these Republican Congressmen or FOX News even saying that these FBI agents should explain themselves? Have you heard Trump say anything more detailed than "It's a hoax"? They don't WANT people thinking too much about it, because then they might realize how ridiculous it is. They don't want to solve problems. They want their team to win.

  6518. Funny how Trump, the businessman, "knows all about 'rats' and 'flippers'"... but also was supposedly never a part of anything like that. He also said, as President, about impeachment, "I guess it says something about high crimes", as if he is so unconcerned about being impeached that he hasn't even Googled it or asked anyone. Never mind that anyone who made it past 9th grade knows that it's high crimes and misdemeanors. So, he knows nothing about basic presidential stuff that he should know, and knows all about gangster stuff he shouldn't. What a "straight talker". Straight talking isn't honesty. Ask a Trump fan about his honesty, and they'll look for reasonable doubt about each lie. What about his SINCERITY?

  6519. Bovine One - It technically applies to any form of incapacitation, even mental illness or ineptitude due to apathy toward learning or extreme, dumbfounding fucking stupidity.

  6520. Dems have good ideas and policies, but they suck at messaging. Republicans have horrible ideas and policies, but they're great at messaging. RESTRUCTURING police departments is good. Chanting "DEFUND" is stupid. Dems say, "But 'defund' really means restructure." Then call it RESTRUCTURE! "Black lives matter really means all lives matter." Then call it ALL LIVES MATTER! Did they really think the right would NOT respond with, "What about white lives and blue lives? See. BLM members are the REAL racists!" Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you say "climate change", people tune out, but call it "pollution", and people listen. Pollution is a problem that demands practical discussion. The term, "climate change" has become a weapon in a culture war. You can't demand an immediate end to racism. You CAN demand an immediate end to policies conducive to police brutality. Police brutality should be the focus. Racism, brutality and pollution shouldn't even be left/right issues in the first place. So why have they become that way? Because it's a Republican tactic. Culture wars divide, and there is nothing Republicans want more. That's why they love Donald Trump and put up with his lies, ineptitude, corruption, and childish crap. It helps them politically.

Why the hell would he not be the frontrunner? If you don't believe the poll is accurate, how do you think he is "really" doing? Is he in third place? Last place? Grow brains, people! The media is there to INFORM YOU, not to tell you what you WANT to hear.

  6525. Does anyone think Trump is working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? ONLY Biden? With no shred of evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win?

  6526. National Security Adviser to both the Trump campaign and the White House, Mike Flynn, Paul Manafort's partner, Rick Gates, and campaign Security Adviser, George Papadopoulos have all pleaded guilty to felonies. All three are cooperating with Mueller. Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 felonies, is seeking a plea deal with Mueller, has another impending trial, and a possible retrial on 10 more felony counts. Paul Manafort ally, Sam Patton has pleaded guilty to foreign lobbying charges and is cooperating. Trump lawyer and "fixer", Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty to felonies, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator, and is seeking a plea deal. National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker was granted immunity. Trump Organization CFO, Alan Weiselburg was also granted immunity. Over a dozen Russians tied to Putin have been indicted. The Trump Foundation is under investigation. Donald Trump, Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump are all named in a lawsuit. White House lawyer, Don McGahn spoke to Mueller for 30 hours. Hope Hicks, Sam Nunberg, and a dozen or so more Trump associates and current and former White House staffers have spoken to Mueller. Roger Stone is predicting his own indictment. Carter Page, Donald Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner are under clouds of suspicion about collusion with the Russians. The wolves are gathering.

  6529. Tonya Pedraza - And when Bill Clinton came into office, there was a budget deficit. He turned it into a surplus. Then, Bush came in, and Cheney said, "Deficits don't matter". Then Bush left us with an economic disaster. Then Obama turned it back around.
    2
  6530. This is insane. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, a VICTIM of the Russian hacks. - Is he saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? He STILL won't believe the CIA and FBI? Think he's going to safeguard our elections saying that? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. Does it matter why the DNC outsourced the forensics? It makes no sense that they would leak their own emails. We know THE RUSSIANS DID IT. Once and for all, Trump needs to take a position and stick to it. We should DEMAND that! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in. It's reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that. Then he talks about law and order?? Now, they're barely holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Do we say, "Oh, that's just Trump"? You like Trump, so you don't care that we can't be confident that our elections are fair? If so, just wait. Your boy is screwed. - The Russians are still running their game. They're spreading propaganda, painting Mueller and the FBI as crooks. That's to be expected. But Trump is still working in concert with them. He should be warning them, and warning us about them. He's dumb, but he knows better. When did this become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

  6531. brian gardner - That is total bullshit. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

And she, too would have beaten the inevitable impeachment that would have been even more of a witch hunt than the one against her husband.

  6552. vf1parker - Soliciting foreign government assistance in a US election is a crime. Trump did that with Russia, China, and Ukraine. He insists it's okay. He calls it "oppo research"...if he does it. If a Democrat hires an actual oppo research firm, he calls it treason. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction of justice. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics. - Bill Clinton was impeached over one lie about his personal life. He lied under oath, but Donald Trump refuses to go under oath, and he has lied over 13,000 times in 3 years. Compare that to Barack Obama lying 148 times in 8 years. Do the math. Is that acceptable? A president doesn't have to commit a crime to be impeached.

  6553. Trump supporters, WAKE UP! He just pardoned the ranchers whose crimes led directly to a militia-backed armed takeover of a wildlife refuge. Gee, why do you think he did that? Remember Trump's "2nd Amendment people" remark during his campaign? When he endorsed police brutality? "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll defend you in court"? The nerve to say Maxine Waters incited violence! Trump would start a nuclear fucking war if he thought it would end the Russia probe. He has no lower limits. He understands nothing! You think he's smart?? HE WENT TO YALE, BUT CAN'T SPELL "THEY'RE" AND THINKS CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF A WORD SHOWS EMPHASIS. ALL CAPS IS HOW YOU DO THAT. He is an habitual liar! He constantly refers to "ratings" and "reviews" because he sees his job as that of a reality show host. HE IS A DANGER TO THIS COUNTRY!

  6560. Talking Points for MAGA Trolls: - Call liberals communists. Let them know that they'll wake up one day soon in Cuba, 1959. If they point out that Trump cozies to an ex-KGB agent who wants his Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics back, call them a "brainwashed Dumbtard." - Polls are always fake, especially if it's CNN. When asked, "How does faking a poll even help? Didn't high poll numbers HURT Clinton in 2016?" or they mention that Trump paid for fake polls, call them a "brainwashed Dumbtard." - Show how clever you are. No pun on "Democrat" or "Obama" is stupid, and they're all hilarious. 90% of Dems who read, "Obummer was married to a man" switch to Republican. "Dumbocrat, Dimtard, DemonRat..." are brilliant. - Project, project, project. "YOU'RE the puppet. YOU'RE the cheater. China is helping Biden. YOU'RE biased," and of course, the ever popular, "YOU'RE brainwashed, Dumbtard." - MSM lie all the time, and they lie about Trump being a pathological liar. If someone asks for an example or a reason why you defend an habitual liar, call them a "brainwashed Dumbtard." - The left has always hated Trump and they have absolutely no reason to. They're just haters. Call them "Hatey McHaterson." Then, call them a brainwashed America hater." - Democrats want open borders, city slums, and kill babies for sport. Opposing racism is the most racist thing you can do. Those Stupid, brainwashed Dumbtards. - Mueller said there was no collusion. Period. It doesn't matter that collusion is not a legal statute and Mueller would nevet say it. Repeat it over and over - NO COLLUSION. - The fact that nobody has proven there is a leftist deep state only proves just how deep it goes. So deep that they ALLOW Republicans to win half of all elections. - Always ignore the following questions: - Why did Trump's people lie about Russia? - How is this socialist takeover going to work? - Why did Trump say it was okay to cheat in his favor? - Why does COVID make it too unsafe to vote in November, but safe for school now? - If you hate dishonesty, why do you love Trump? - Why did Hillary cheat in a state she was sure to win? - How was the Trump Tower meeting not collusion? - Why is it "oppo research" when Trump solicits foreign election help, but a treasonous coup when US intelligence looks into Russian meddling? - Why was Obama responsible for everything, but Trump is responsible for nothing? - Why is it okay for Trump to use an unsecured cell phone, and for his kids to use private email for business? - Why is it okay for Trump to make accusations with no proof, but looking into Russia on probable cause is treason? - Why is it senility when Biden says absent-minded things, but not when Trump does it? - How is Biden racist for saying a few dumb things about race, but Trump, with a litany of racist statements, is the "least racist person"? - Why does the Trump White House have so much turnover? - Why aren't Trump's emoluments violations wrong? - It doesn't have to make sense if you repeat it enough. Keep insisting Clinton sold uranium to Russia and spied on Trump. Repeat the claim that Biden took a billion dollar bribe from China. Repeat that more testing means more COVID cases...And remember to call liberals "brainwashed Dumbtards."

That's like purposely promoting sales of a book you don't want people reading just to have more fuel for the book burning.

  6570. Nobody with a 90% chance of winning goes to the heads of over a dozen non-partisan US intel and law enforcement agencies and asks them to commit major felonies so that, just in case they lose, they can make the winner look bad. And even if Clinton actually did want to do that, IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. SHE WOULD BE IN JAIL, because Clapper, Brennen, Hayden... would have said, "That bitch is crazy" and turned her in for conspiracy. If you think there is a "witch hunt", you are an idiot who doesn't know ANYTHING about how things work, so please don't vote again until you learn something and start using some common sense.

  6571. chrisforrester777 - So, you think all of those independent as well as news media pollsters were all part of a concerted effort to grossly inflate Clinton's poll numbers? Sure. You are aware that Clinton won the popular vote, right? And why do you think they would do that? Because liberals are so non-independent minded that we will only vote for whoever is most popular? Makes no sense. And you obviously missed the point of my post. This so-called "witch hunt" would have been IMPOSSIBLE to pull off.

  6572. Dems have too many candidates running too early. They're creating burnout, and they're writing the Republican attack ads. They might not even wind up running against Trump. If his poll numbers drop too much, Republicans will primary him and then Dems won't be running against the devil they know and are preparing for. Sure, they should raise their money, but they should fly under the radar for a while. They shouldn't be calling the press to cover every event they hold.

  6574.  @michaelalbert8474  Name one lie told by the media about Trump colluding with Russia. No, I'm not kidding.
    2
  6575.  @michaelalbert8474  When media bashers say "The media lie," they can almost never name a specific lie. When outlets report a fact, 99% of the time, it is accurate. It would be a little closer to the truth to say the media DECEIVE. That's far from deliberately mis-stating facts. Usually when I ask a media basher to name some lies the media have told, I get, "Trump colluded with Russia, Nick Sandmann, and Jussie Smollett." Those replies are nonsense. First, Trump DID collude with Russia. Collusion means COOPERATION, which he clearly did. It's not a legal term. Collusion does not mean "found guilty of criminal conspiracy." But set that point aside. The facts made Trump look guilty. When it was reported that three of Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for favors, that was a FACT. No reporter said, "Don Jr took a flash drive from a Russian agent." That would be a lie. The facts looked bad, so naturally the opinions in editorials were negative. Let's say media report that a man's wife is missing and her husband had blood in his car, gunshot residue on his hands, and lied to police. Editorials about domestic violence would cast the husband in a negative light, and nobody would say the media were lying. Jussie Smollett lied to police, and media simply reported the facts. The suggestion that somehow the media know the truth about things nobody else knows is absurd. Believing that they deceive us every time a story makes a liberal look bad is ridiculous, especially when the liberal isn't even a politician, and the story has nothing to do with politics. Nick Sandmann is the exception that proves the rule. The media didn't lie. They mis-characterized. It was a mistake, and they paid for it. If deception was standard practice, news outlets would have been sued out of existence long ago. Also, there is no objective truth in that story. It's based on what was going on in Sandmann's head, and what his intentions were. There are many news outlets, many stories, and many reports every day. Media bashers love to say "the media" as if it's one homogeneous, connected group. So, even when a reporter makes a mistake or even lies, to paint the entire industry as liars is as absurd as saying "Starbucks cheats you" because a barista once over-charged you for a scone. The same type of conservative who says, "It's just a bad apple" when a trigger-happy cop shoots an unarmed person will call the entire media a group of serial liars when a single reporter makes a mistake. There is a LOT I don't like about news media, and I don't believe everything I hear. But I assume simple facts are accurate unless there's real reason to believe otherwise. On rare occasions when the facts they report are inaccurate, I first assume they made a mistake before I start conjuring up wild conspiracy theories. People should simply recognize the difference between FACT and OPINION. "16 Trump associates lied about their contacts with Russia" is a FACT. "All of their lying makes them look like they're hiding something" is an OPINION, but it's also a reasonable opinion to have. News outlets compete with each other, often by way of sensationalism. They aim to get the facts right because if ABC gets it wrong, CBS will get it right. Sponsors are their masters, not the DNC. (That idea is laughable. Media have WAY more money and power than the DNC, which is made up of mid-level politicians who can't get elected to office). For the same reason, media don't block stories about dirty politicians just because they're Democrats. They're not the sole gatekeepers of information. Notice that the "liberal" media promptly reported on the Hunter Biden investigation. It's a sensational story. They work for sponsors. It makes no sense to limit themselves to half of the market. It's ironic that the biggest media bashers nowadays are fervent Trump supporters who complain about bias. Trump coordinates with FOX News, and he habitually lies. Those people are hypocrites at best, but usually it's flat-out projection. Hypocrisy is accusing others of what you also do. Projection is accusing the innocent of what you do. It's notable that during Trump's first month in office, he actually told the press corp, "If you're going to hold us to getting every little thing right, I'm just going to stop having these press briefings." Yes, he actually said that.

  6576.  @michaelalbert8474  "I'm not reading that" but you know it's a lie. Collusion means cooperation, and we know he did that, Einstein. If Biden had done what he did, what would you think? Any time you want to take issue with anything specific I wrote, go right ahead, because it's all FACT that YOU CANNOT PROVE WRONG. Enjoy living in your fantasy world.

  6578.  @michaelalbert8474  Literally none of those are lies. Who in the media said, "for security reasons" they had proof but couldn't share it? And collusion means cooperation, which Trump did. He colluded. Wondering what Putin has on Trump is not a lie. Do you even know what "lie" means? Abd of course we all wondered, because he refused to stand up to Putin or condemn him. Trump "joked" about asking Russia to help? Are you really that naive? Then, low and behold, THEY HELPED HIM. HIS PEOPLE MET WITH THEM! Oh, but I'm sure if Obama's people met with Russian government surrogates to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief, you wouldn't want an investigation, right? Let me repeat this - IF OBAMA ABD HIS PEOPLE DID WHAT TRUMP AND HIS DID, ALL THE LYING AND THE MEETINGS, WOULD YOU WANT AN INVESTIGATION? Do you have the balls to say you wouldn't?? Didn't think so.

"Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. TRUMP WAS THE LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

  6605. They don't believe anything until indictments are handed down or a judge bangs a gavel. In theory, I can see not believing things until they are official, but history and common sense show that virtually every anonymous source the media use are real, and their statements turn out to be true. Most often, they aren't anonymous sources. They are UN-NAMED sources - and there is a big difference. Trump followers don't seem to know the difference between FACT and OPINION in the media. They don't know the difference between what someone AT at network says and someone ON a network says. Most facts the media report are correct. When they sometimes get the facts wrong, 99 times out of 100, it is a MISTAKE, not a LIE. Trump is clearly desperate, and he sounds like a childish fool when he says things like, "Anonymous sources are made up". It is simply not true.

They don't hit the voting machines, most of which are not online, but they hit the surrounding systems. Maybe they screw with the power grid, and the power goes out at polling locations - of which there will already be fewer, with more people waiting. People leave those long lines and go home. The votes will already not be totaled on election day because of the increase in mail-in ballots. People will already be confused because of all of the changes to polling sites, drop boxes, and mailboxes. Trump blames China or "a fat guy on his bed" for the cyber attack. He says that it looks like China, but "we don't really know because you have to catch them in the act," (which is untrue). The CIA says it wasn't China, but Trump followers dismiss that as the "deep state" helping Biden this time. Biden voters know Trump either knowingly cheated or neglectfully let chaos happen. Trump voters are sure that the left is trying to oust a duly elected president again. Everyone is pissed. Protests, which Trump will call riots no matter what, break out in every major "Democrat" city. Think about what happens from there.

Trump said the Iran deal (where they've never had nukes) wasn't verifiable (it was), and then agreed to suspend military exercises with South Korea and talked about lifting sanctions. On the economy and unemployment, look at the long-term trends. There is no connection to any Trump policy. And gutting financial regulations (designed to prevent another crash), and giving tax breaks to the 1% can only create a bubble. Only fools think it will "trickle down". Now, look at all of the negative things Trump has said and done. I'd say 96% negative sounds about right. How long can the news media go on about tax cuts and unemployment? There is new news every day. What do you want? A network dedicated to blindly praising Trump? You've got it. It's called FOX News.

He expelled Russian diplomats. US intel had a code-named operation. Read the LONG article in the Washington Post about it. Trump refuses to do ANYTHING about it.

  6628. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  6645. Has the frog already boiled to death? I know it's starting to seem normal, but Trump is OPENLY conspiring with members of the Ukrainian government to get re-elected! When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

  6647. Let's have the media only talk about Trump's accomplishments, like he wants, for a whole news cycle. Let's give the baby his bottle. - Supreme Court justice - He picked a name from a list. How the hell is that a major accomplishment? It was a list made by a far-right group, which broke protocol, whereby usually they at least confer with an opposing party. Plus, the Republicans sidelined Obama's pick to do it. It would have been an accomplishment to NOT appoint a justice. - North Korea - Anyone seen the headlines today? - Low unemployment - Look at the trend over the past 10 years. Thanks, Obama. - Stock Market - Of course it was going to rally because big investors and corporations knew he was going to give a massive tax cut to the very rich. That's called a bubble. Bubbles burst. - Tax cuts - Again, for the richest. Just wait and see how wealth inequality grows. - Immigration - Sure, he's deporting a lot of people. And separating families, violating civil rights, and breeding xenophobia to do it. - Trade - Trade wars and dubious actions with regard to China that sure looks like selling out the country... Yeah, media, talk about his "accomplishments"!

  6649.  @Spearhand00  - Corruption. He is corrupt. No, they don't have the goods on him YET, but that's what they're talking about when they say impeachment.
    2
  6650.  @Spearhand00  - Like I said, there are no grounds yet, but it sure looks like Trump committed conspiracy and obstruction. I suspect he has violated the emoluments clause, FEC violations (The FEC dinged him for $1.3 million in misused campaign funds, separate from the hush money payments), money laundering, charity fraud, and abuse of power. If it was up to me, his sheer incompetence should be grounds for impeachment, not to mention his being an habitual liar. Does it not bother you that he lies all the time?
    2
  6651.  @hockeydad6211  - The investigation isn't over yet. To say there is no evidence is absurd. There is a ton of it. Here's one bit of evidence - Don Jr. admitted to collusion. That's right. He admitted to meeting with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on their opponent for sanction relief. Make no mistakes. "Adoptions" = sanctions. It refers to the Magnitsky Act. That's a quid pro quo with known members of a foreign government to influence an election. Trump campaign members falsely denied 73 contacts with Russians. Can you honestly say that if it was Hillary Clinton, and it was her campaign security advisor, White House National Security advisor, campaign chairman, and personal lawyer that had been indicted, you'd feel the same way? Those are just the indicted. There are two dozen or so associates under the microscope. There are more sealed indictments. Your head is in the sand.

Fucko would have been happy if they all rotted in prison just so he wouldn't look like he was wrong. He doesn't care that he inspires hate groups to do violence. He doesn't care that Kashoggi was murdered because of his spinelessness. Trump is a fucking narcissistic sociopath.

  6668. No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1 - "He stayed to work"? This is where we're setting the bar? Trump is an overgrown, bratty child. If you don't see that by now, you are willfully blind. He is incompetent in every way, and refuses to learn because he has no interest in what his job description even is.
    2
  6669. It's taking a long time, but Trump's base is going to turn away from him, and when people turn, they REALLY turn. W got two terms, but he left with about 30% approval, and came in with 58%. Trump has a dismal, rising disapproval rating, and will NEVER get his approval above 40. The majority hates him. He styles himself as an entertainer. Even the biggest actors and pop stars become overexposed. His show had lots of fans, but would they still have liked The Apprentice if they had to watch it every day? 87% of the public thinks the DACA kids should stay, including half of his base, and virtually all liberals. More than half of his base disapproved of both the failed Republican health care bill and the new tax law. With his DAILY doses of lying, offensive Tweets, displays of ineptitude, flip-flops, and Russia probe developments - that will NOT stop, the relatively reasonable half of his base will become as exhausted with his bullshit as the liberals. When that happens, Republican lawmakers will drop him like a bad habit. They have a decision to make for the upcoming mid-terms - stand by him or distance themselves. His base will turn, probably suddenly, maybe even without an identifiable specific cause. A little innocuous straw will break the camel's back... Or Mueller will throw down a "trump" card. Whatever happens, there is no way Trump will ever turn it around.

  6674. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has an acronym, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.
    2
  6675. Mark Dandrea - Wrong. Donna Brazille was critical of her to sell a book, then specifically said she did not think Clinton screwed Bernie. Clinton bailed out the DNC so she - and any Dem - could have a fighting chance. That whole talking point is based on a few scheduling conflicts Clinton was accused of creating to mess with Sanders. That's a far cry from stealing it from him.

  6685. 8ernity8 - What are you talking about? It's because of the pandemic, and all states have absentee voting. It isn't done by presidential, but state administrators. There is no evidence of fraud, and Trump REFUSES TO EVEN TRY to implement fool-proof measures. He is doing the opposite! He is crippling the post office. He us touting Florida as a state that has a good system, but has he called for other states to adopt their system?? Think, McFly

  6686.  Ocasio-Cortez4prez2022  How are they being a "trojan horse"? You could say that about anybody. We pass laws bill by bill. They are debated. You have no basis for your paranoia. Shouldn't you be worried about Trump being a trojan horse, then? He inexplicably buddies up to the former KGB agent ruling Russia. You know, the guy who wants to bring back the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. Of course not, because you are tribal, and you don't think.
    2
  6687. A mis-characterisation of a single detail in one of many, many reports filed by a 24 hour news channel is not proof of a lie. It's not even proof that the reporter made a mistake. Ever consider that's what the source told him? It is certainly not evidence that the entire mainstream news media is lying to us all the time. It is ABSURD to assert that it is when defending a president who LIES CONSTANTLY. I remember when Trump first took office and told the press corp that if THEY expected HIM to get "every little fact right", he would just stop having daily press conferences. I bet you FOX News, Trump sycophants don't remember that, do you?

  6694. DuncanClan - I'm sure the media like Biden a lot more than a president who calls them "enemy of the people," a term coined by Joseph Stalin. What did Trump say? "When they hit you, hit them back 20 times harder"? By Trump's own philosophy, the media should have lied about him all the time, but they didn't. Trump, however, lied constantly. So unless his lies bothered you, you have no right to complain.

  6695. How many Inspectors General looking into his activities does Trump have to fire before the MAGA crowd wakes up? How many former employees, appointees, and family members have to speak out? How many more lies does he have to tell? How many more excuses for hiding his records? How much more open solicitation of foreign government election help? How many more vulgar Tweets? How many more authoritarian actions? How many more times does he have to say that everything reported about him is a lie? How many more crooked associates have to be exposed? How many more people have to tell them he is exactly how he presents himself to be?

  6701.  @fustercluck2460  - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  6702. So, Rand Paul, champion of privacy rights, is trying to out the whistleblower. Funny thing is, there is an easy way to get the whistleblower's information without outing him. Call the IG who VALIDATED THE CLAIM to testify. Think Republicans want to do that? LOL.

  6704. On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, that Wikileaks was to release hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he had communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Now, Stone and Corsi are contradicting each other. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He says he was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both candidate Trump and chairman, Paul Manafort, deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did that without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Is there reason to be suspicious yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

  6725. 10 Trump associates lying about Russian ties. Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign manager meeting with Russian intelligence to trade sanction relief for dirt on Clinton. George Papadopoulos seeking hacked emails from Russia. You've got to be fucking kidding! Imagine if it was Hillary Clinton. You'd say, "no evidence"? Sure - If Chelsae Clinton and John Podesta got caught meeting with a foreign government, you people would say it's nothing! My God, pull your heads out of your asses!

  6729.  @Based_Chilean  Absolutely false. The riots were not endorsed by the Democratic party. You are a tribal, ignorant fool spouting ridiculous talking points. CLEARLY, not one of your "examples" is an endorsement of rioting. Now, did you criticize Trump, Giuliani, Trump Jr, and all of the Republicans for their rhetoric surrounding the election? Of course you didn't.
    2
  6730.  @Based_Chilean  "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  6731.  @Based_Chilean  Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  6732. MrSolo - Have you ever voted? You obviously don't know how it works. Most of what you said could also be a problem with in-person voting. The rest is just baseless accusations that the Dems would try that stuff. YOU can't see that Trump is the one who is raising reasonable suspicion that HE is cheating.
    2
  6733. Anyone else notice how ridiculous it was that Trump wanted the mob to interrupt Congressional Republicans' interruption of the vote certification? Certification usually takes about an hour. When the riot started, Republicans were already in the middle of a marathon session to stop the certification. They stopped the "stopping of the steal"!

  6734. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  6739. 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.

  6752. 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, the Wikileaks release of hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he'd communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both Trump and Paul Manafort deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did it without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Cause suspicion yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

A presidential administration deriding higher education. Unbelievable.

  6761. Liberals outnumber conservatives, but Republicans refuse to try to win liberals over. They win by suppressing Dem votes and turning out their base through division. So, even when they win, they don't get new voters. They keep repeating the strategy, as there's always an election around the corner. Doubt that? Look at Trump, who treated half the country as an enemy. They can't let him go no matter how much trouble he caused them. Didn't they get exhausted? Look at Black voters. Republicans only get about 10% of their vote, and winning them over is always too big of a mountain to climb in under two years. The solution is right in front of them, but they won't look past their noses. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular. A minimum wage hike, health care reform, pot legalization, COVID mitigation, racial justice, sensible gun control, and addressing climate change are all favored by a SOLID majority of the electorate. Republicans ignore and/or deny ALL of those issues. Republicans need to worry more about DOING the job than KEEPING the job. They cry "election security," but why is it that every security measure they propose just happens to be the something that hinders liberal turnout? They can't even be bipartisan about a probe into what went wrong at the Capitol! It's INSANE to demand that an investigation focus on "left wing extremists." WHAT left wing extremists?? Antifa is nothing but about 50 unorganized people who have no support, and were not at the Capitol riot. BLM is NOT an extremist group. Do Republicans really want to demonize a group that demonstrates against systemic racism? Yeah, that will help get Black votes and end the stereotype that Republicans are racist! I hope they DO look into BLM, SEPARATELY, to show the difference between them and a coup attempt based on lies, executed by The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, Confederate dead-enders, and a half-dozen white supremacist groups who were decidedly partisan and encouraged by a majority of the Republican Congress and the President himself. I thought Republicans called theirs the "party of ideas"? Well, make with the ideas. Failing that, they could learn to agree with Dems about what the PROBLEMS are and argue over the SOLUTIONS. What are the problems? Public opinion is clear on that. They're the wealth gap, minimum wage, health care, marijuana, COVID, racism, and gun control, and climate change. They're NOT communism, threats to the 2nd Amendment, left-wing extremism, sanctuary cities, or gay rights. And there is equal blame on BOTH SIDES for "cancel culture" and outsourcing jobs overseas, so don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

  6762. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request.

  6763. John Lorenzo - So, you think the Dems pulled off a massive illegal voter scheme that would have involved millions of fake IDs in a state they were already sure to win as part of an election they already expected to win? They got 3 million illegals to actually want to do it, even though Hispanics vote Republican as often as the general population? Or maybe you think there was a similar scam involving 3 million people, ALL DEMOCRATS, impersonating the recently deceased in order to vote in their name? That one would most likely require wearing disguises. Trump's own voter fraud commission found nothing. People who think there was this kind of cheating don't even how voting works.

  6768. You people who say that are such IDIOTS! Do you not understand what a poll is? It is a survey. It is a percent chance. If you bet on a horse that has only a 10% chance of winning, and it wins, IT STILL ONLY HAD A 10% CHANCE OF WINNING! Any time there is a news story about a poll, the comment boards fill up with Trump loving idiots who say that CNN faked a poll or can't take a poll correctly. And by the way, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Polls reflect the popular vote, so the candidate with the overwhelming chance won the popular vote.

  6769. In 2012, Trump said Obama was going to start a war with Iran to get re-elected, so he obviously seems to think that would work. Given his nature, I think he might try that.

  6770. The purpose of the memo isn't to prove impropriety. It is to SUGGEST it. Notice the pattern? Have you heard any of these Republican Congressmen or FOX News even saying that these FBI agents should explain themselves? Have you heard Trump say anything more detailed than "It's a hoax"? They don't WANT people thinking too much about it, because then they might realize how ridiculous it is. They don't want to solve problems. They want their team to win.

  6771. We were there fighting ISIS, and there are different ways to exit a building. You can jump out the 40th floor window, or walk out the front door.

If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win?

It is necessary to be moderate to keep the country united. Trump has alienated half of the country, but Bernie would just alienate the other half. As misguided and ignorant as the Trump followers are, we can't neglect their concerns.

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. The IG report confirms that there was no spying on the Trump campaign. It was a counterintelligence probe into Russia's meddling...and it lead straight to the Trump campaign.

A member of Trump's legal team quit to avoid implication for potential Obstruction of Justice. A White House Counsel threatened to quit rather than fire the Special Council, then was forced out. There was a similar situation with an Attorney General. An Acting Attorney General was forced out for standing on principles. Trump's Senior Advisors, his daughter and son-in-law, have had issues with security clearances, along with over 30 others. He fired and/or forced out an FBI Director, a Deputy FBI Director, and several other high level agents at the FBI.

There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

  6801. Vito Antinarella - Uh, they didn't try to overthrow the White House. Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  6807. I'm suspicious as to why Trump is all of a sudden okay with Florida's mail-in ballots. It's an important state that he's losing. If he was sincere, he would tout Florida's system as a model for other states, but he isn't interested in solving the "problem." What is he up to? Pay attention to exit polling on election day, because if it differs much with the actual vote count, that will tell us something.

  6813. The reason for GOP voter suppression tactics is that there are more of us than them, so high turnout favors Dems. Minorities are reliably more likely to vote Dem, so it doesn't take a statistician to figure out their motive. There's an easy solution - Vote. - Make sure before election day that they haven't purged your eligibility on some technicality. - Make sure they haven't removed your local drop box. - Make sure you have ID if they require it. In most states, you can register to vote at the DMV. - If you vote by mail, return your ballot ASAP in case the GOP tries to slow the mail again or remove your local mailbox at the last minute. - Clear your schedule for election day. - Dress for the weather forecast. Bring an umbrella in case the GOP makes the line longer and routs it outdoors. - Bring snacks and soft drinks. If you need a lot of weed to wait in a long line, bring extra snacks and soft drinks. - Wear a diaper in case the GOP tries to deny access to a restroom or sabotage the toilets, but whatever you do, VOTE!

  6823. Trump's approval rating is about the same as it was when he first took office. His disapproval rating is up 15 points. That tells me his base is staunch and his critics are getting pissed. There are two kinds of Americans now - Those who love Trump, and those who hate him. Trumpers outnumber his critics 2 to 1, and as a group, we are a lot smarter. (If you don't believe that, look at the grammar in these comment sections). How long do you think Trump and his ilk can hold on to power this way?

  6824. Imagine Clinton had become president last year amid reports of the Saudis hacking the RNC and trying to get her elected. Imagine she had publicly asked them to dig up dirt on Trump. Say she had refused to criticize the kingdom for its human rights policies, saying, "What? You think we're so innocent?" Imagine her campaign manager, John Podesta, had been working for the Saudis and had helped install a pro-Saudi leader in Yemen. Let's say Huma Aberden was to become her National Security Advisor, while being paid to make anti-American speeches in Riyadh, and had failed to register and report the income. Say another staffer was also doing the same - three years after being recruited by Saudi spies. Say Clinton was hiding a deal to build hotels in Riyadh. Imagine if, during the transition, Aberden was secretly telling a Saudi Prince she would make sure Clinton would lift sanctions that the President was imposing on them for meddling, then lied to the FBI about it when questioned. Imagine Clinton had been warned by Obama and the DOJ about Aberdeen, but doesn't fire her until the press reports it. Say Chelsea Clinton is found to have had a secret meeting with a Saudi government lawyer, Saudi intelligence, and Podesta, about trading favors for dirt on Trump. Chelsea's husband is found to have been setting-up back channels with Riyadh with a sanctioned Saudi banker. NINE Clinton associates lie about Saudi connections...Substitute Clinton for Trump in all of these suspicious activities and the many others - Felix Sater. Peter Smith. Roger Stone. The dossier. The server at Trump Tower where 80% of the attempts to communicate came from a Russian bank...Now imagine Podesta and his assistant are charged with money laundering for the Saudis and Conspiracy Against The US. Huma Aberdeen pleads guilty to Perjury after asking for immunity, saying she "has a story to tell". Robby Mook pleads guilty to Perjury after he admits to seeking dirt on Trump from the Saudis. Clinton attacks the intelligence agencies and the DOJ, firing key figures, and crying, "But Trump! Look at Trump!" She calls it a hoax and rejects the idea of EVEN INVESTIGATING THE SAUDIS. The House probe is sabotaged by Nancy Pelosi. Clinton won't release her tax returns. She won't explain ANYTHING - just repeats, "No collusion. No Saudi ties." MSM refuses to report undisputed, newsworthy facts and instead cries, "What about Trump's pussy grabbing and real estate deals?" every day...YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS WOULD HAVE A SHIT FIT AND YOU KNOW IT! I'm a Liberal who likes Clinton, and I WOULD, TOO. I would be crying, "Impeach her!" And I haven't even mentioned half of it.

  6829. When media bashers say "The media lie," they can almost never name a specific lie. When outlets report a fact, 99% of the time, it is accurate. It would be a little closer to the truth to say the media DECEIVE. That's far from deliberately mis-stating facts. Usually when I ask a media basher to name some lies the media have told, I get, "Trump colluded with Russia, Nick Sandmann, and Jussie Smollett." Those replies are nonsense. First, Trump DID collude with Russia. Collusion means COOPERATION, which he clearly did. It's not a legal term. Collusion does not mean "found guilty of criminal conspiracy." But set that point aside. The facts made Trump look guilty. When it was reported that three of Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for favors, that was a FACT. No reporter said, "Don Jr took a flash drive from a Russian agent." That would be a lie. The facts looked bad, so naturally the opinions in editorials were negative. Let's say media report that a man's wife is missing and her husband had blood in his car, gunshot residue on his hands, and lied to police. Editorials about domestic violence would cast the husband in a negative light, and nobody would say the media were lying. Jussie Smollett lied to police, and media simply reported the facts. The suggestion that somehow the media know the truth about things nobody else knows is absurd. Believing that they deceive us every time a story makes a liberal look bad is ridiculous, especially when the liberal isn't even a politician, and the story has nothing to do with politics. Nick Sandmann is the exception that proves the rule. The media didn't lie. They mis-characterized. It was a mistake, and they paid for it. If deception was standard practice, news outlets would have been sued out of existence long ago. Also, there is no objective truth in that story. It's based on what was going on in Sandmann's head, and what his intentions were. There are many news outlets, many stories, and many reports every day. Media bashers love to say "the media" as if it's one homogeneous, connected group. So, even when a reporter makes a mistake or even lies, to paint the entire industry as liars is as absurd as saying "Starbucks cheats you" because a barista once over-charged you for a scone. The same type of conservative who says, "It's just a bad apple" when a trigger-happy cop shoots an unarmed person will call the entire media a group of serial liars when a single reporter makes a mistake. There is a LOT I don't like about news media, and I don't believe everything I hear. But I assume simple facts are accurate unless there's real reason to believe otherwise. On rare occasions when the facts they report are inaccurate, I first assume they made a mistake before I start conjuring up wild conspiracy theories. People should simply recognize the difference between FACT and OPINION. "16 Trump associates lied about their contacts with Russia" is a FACT. "All of their lying makes them look like they're hiding something" is an OPINION, but it's also a reasonable opinion to have. News outlets compete with each other, often by way of sensationalism. They aim to get the facts right because if ABC gets it wrong, CBS will get it right. Sponsors are their masters, not the DNC. (That idea is laughable. Media have WAY more money and power than the DNC, which is made up of mid-level politicians who can't get elected to office). For the same reason, media don't block stories about dirty politicians just because they're Democrats. They're not the sole gatekeepers of information. Notice that the "liberal" media promptly reported on the Hunter Biden investigation. It's a sensational story. They work for sponsors. It makes no sense to limit themselves to half of the market. It's ironic that the biggest media bashers nowadays are fervent Trump supporters who complain about bias. Trump coordinates with FOX News, and he habitually lies. Those people are hypocrites at best, but usually it's flat-out projection. Hypocrisy is accusing others of what you also do. Projection is accusing the innocent of what you do. It's notable that during Trump's first month in office, he actually told the press corp, "If you're going to hold us to getting every little thing right, I'm just going to stop having these press briefings." Yes, he actually said that.

I can't wait until the Senate acquits Trump, and Joe Biden goes on TV and says, "Great Britain, if you're listening, if you can find Trump's tax returns...and people are saying, there's a lot of talk about a 'pee pee tape', so Christopher Steele, if you could help...No. No, it's okay. Trump and the Republicans said this was okay".

  6832.  @bensteele5753  Coherent sentences? Ever hear Trump speak? More projection. Cop - "You're reporting a theft? Who do you think might have done it?" Don - "Joe and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think it was them?" Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  6834. A big reason the US can't get a grip on this pandemic that nobody talks about is that we are too CONSUMER DRIVEN. Watch TV. The ads all tell us to "Get back out there and spend!" They have to. No business in its right mind would passively let itself go broke. So where are the PSAs? Where are the TV spots telling us to wash our hands and wear masks? Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?

  6835. I used to be like Trump. I thought I could look at a problem and automatically know the solution without knowing the facts because I was naturally gifted and born with wisdom. Others were always responsible for my problems. I was 16. Youth and hormones. What's Trump's excuse?

  6836. Funny how Trump, the businessman, "knows all about 'rats' and 'flippers'"... but also was supposedly never a part of anything like that. He also said, as President, about impeachment, "I guess it says something about high crimes", as if he is so unconcerned about being impeached that he hasn't even Googled it or asked anyone. Never mind that anyone who made it past 9th grade knows that it's high crimes and misdemeanors. So, he knows nothing about basic presidential stuff that he should know, and knows all about gangster stuff he shouldn't. What a "straight talker". Straight talking isn't honesty. Ask a Trump fan about his honesty, and they'll look for reasonable doubt about each lie. What about his SINCERITY?

Until then, they're just reporting on an election, and the candidates themselves call the news outlets and ask for interviews. Is CNN supposed to say, "No, we don't want to interview you"?

  6850. This is insane. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, a VICTIM of the Russian hacks. - Is he saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? He STILL won't believe the CIA and FBI? Think he's going to safeguard our elections saying that? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. Does it matter why the DNC outsourced the forensics? It makes no sense that they would leak their own emails. We know THE RUSSIANS DID IT. Once and for all, Trump needs to take a position and stick to it. We should DEMAND that! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in. It's reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that. Then he talks about law and order?? Now, they're barely holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Do we say, "Oh, that's just Trump"? You like Trump, so you don't care that we can't be confident that our elections are fair? If so, fuck you. Just wait. Your boy is screwed. - Trump is dumb, but he knows better. When did this behavior become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS.

And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  6870.  @kateliu9316  - Trump instructed the Ambassador to the UK to ask British officials to hold the British Open at his Scottish golf course. He fired the Inspector General who probed the matter and classified the report. - Trump solicited foreign government assistance in a US election, which is a crime. He did that with Russia, China, and Ukraine. He insists it's okay. He calls it "oppo research"...if he does it. If a Democrat hires an actual oppo research firm, he calls it treason. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction of justice. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics. - Bill Clinton was impeached over one lie about his personal life. He lied under oath, but Donald Trump refuses to go under oath, and he has lied over 13,000 times in 3 years. Compare that to Barack Obama lying 148 times in 8 years. Do the math. Is that acceptable? A president doesn't have to commit a crime to be impeached.

It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

Christ, can you not just talk about what's IN the report without talking about WHO reported it? Always bitching about how OTHERS might interpret their "propaganda". How about forgetting about the ANALYSIS and just take in the FACTS, which by the way, are virtually always accurate. Or, stop watching it. How about that? Since you hate it so much, why spend all this time trolling its comment boards? What you morons don't see is that YOU are the biased ones. YOU are the brainwashed. And you look pathetic and stupid.

  6880. As Trump said, collusion is not a crime. Collusion is cooperation. Did Trump and his people cooperate with the Russian government? Absolutely. Volume 1 of the report is a detail of that cooperation. Mueller did not, as Trump insists, make a finding of "no collusion". Mueller did NOT say that, which means Trump is deliberately LYING. He found insufficient evidence to charge the CRIME of CONSPIRACY. He did NOT say there was no wrongdoing. He had insufficient evidence to prove INTENT. He couldn't prove that Trump and his people knew what they were doing WAS WRONG. Volume 2 details 10 instances of OBSTRUCTION. Mueller COULD NOT charge Trump with that crime because he wasn't permitted to charge a sitting president. He DID say, however, that it was a POLITICAL matter, not a LEGAL one. That's for Congress to pursue. If Congress finds enough evidence of high crimes, (Obstruction), and misdemeanors, (serious wrongdoing), the remedy would be IMPEACHMENT in the House, and REMOVAL by the Senate. Mueller CLEARLY stated that he could NOT clear Trump of obstruction. He did not say that about conspiracy. Trump is LYING when he says Mueller exonerated him. (And he can't have it both ways. If Mueller is illegitimate, how can the "exoneration" be legitimate?) Mueller didn't feel a conspiracy case could get a conviction in court. Case closed. That doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing or no collusion. It certainly does NOT mean that the investigation was illegal, treasonous, or a political witch hunt. There was OBVIOUSLY probable cause. Mueller obviously felt that an obstruction case could get a conviction in court, (Over 1000 former federal prosecutors attest to that), BUT he wasn't allowed to bring such a case. He won't explicitly say that because DOJ rules also say he can't give his opinion about persons not indicted, meaning Donald Trump. That's the mistake Comey made with Clinton, (which, by the way, HELPED Trump win. Look at the thanks he got). Democrats and, (if there are any), decent Republicans in Congress need to do their required oversight, ie., start the impeachment inquiry that Mueller has given them PROBABLE CAUSE for. I wish he would be more vocal, but Mueller has done all he can legally do. Democrats should grow balls and stop worrying about that damn election. It's almost a year and a half away. Deal with the lying, inept criminal who is in office NOW!

  6881. If he had been sleeping in his car in a parking spot, he could have said he was sleeping it off. But he was in the drive through. That's DUI. It's also not very drunk. You can blow a .108 after 3 beers. My guess was that he was on opiods. That doesn't make him a bad person, but it makes him a danger to be driving. Fighting the cops, taking the tazer, and aiming it at the cops makes him a stupid person. No, the cop shouldn't have shot him, but it's not the same as crushing a handcuffed man's throat for over 8 minutes, shooting a fleeing suspect 8 times in the back who posed zero threat, blowing away someone in their car in front of their kid who announced he legally had a gun, shooting a kid with a knife surrounded by cops who are 30 feet away, or shooting a man in the stomach who was simply doing as asked and getting his ID.

  6882. As of now, the DOJ is sending a message that it's perfectly okay for a presidential campaign to meet with foreign governments to trade stolen information for favors, and that it's just fine to ask them to hack emails. That there is nothing wrong with having dirty tricksters reach out to foreign hackers and disseminators. They say they don't want to talk about the wrongdoing of people who aren't indicted, but that didn't apply when Comey said that Clinton was irresponsible with her email server. And Trump defenders think the FBI is on the side of the DNC??

If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

But to say they lie as a matter of practice is ridiculous. That's why I posted what I did. This is an example of them starting to get out of bounds - Not by lying as a matter of practice - but by too much spinning. And for the record, I don't like the fact that a news outlets endorse any political candidate. Seems counter productive. That said, those people are truths seekers by nature. They don't sit on secrets. Look how news outlets dealt with Dan Rather, Brian Williams, and Donna Brazile. Wanna see sleazy, spinning, ultra-biased news? - look at FOX. I've seen all of the Youtube "gotcha" videos. They're retarded. They're hyper partisan and hypocritically biased. They defy COMMON SENSE. I don't know if you're a Trump defender, but you make the same sounds, and the thing I can't stand the most is that Trump defenders and CNN bashers WON'T BE SELF-CRITICAL - criticize their own. It's dig-in and defy to the extreme! Listen to the bare FACTS. Forget the editorial analysis. The free press is the only thing that stops an ill-intended politician from becoming a tyrant - and it's MUCH LARGER than Donald Trump. Wake up. Trump will be gone in no more than 3 years - and even if he gets 7 more, that's a flash in the pan! Imagine if he was Clinton, or ANY politician you think is crooked! Bad presidents set bad precedent!

  6896. There's a really good, old, obscure movie from 1994 called Floundering. Steve Buscemi is complaining about pedo politicians. The protagonist says, "Power and pedophilia are connected?" Buscemi's character responds, "Are you kidding? Like cockroaches". It sucks that important positions attract the most vile people. But that is just more reason to have a free press. While I'm on old art, here's another quote from an old Iron Maiden song (about shady preachers, but it's relevant) - "You've gotta watch them. Be quick or be dead".

  6897. Black face is racist because it was used in the past by white stage actors to portray blacks as sub-human. If Don Lemon wanted to educate people, he could have said that instead of acting self-righteous. Megyn Kelly clearly wasn't advocating for black face. It SHOULDN'T be offensive, but it is, and it IS ridiculous to say you can dress up like people on Halloween in every way except the color of your face, but black face is just one of those things that's too loaded with racism to use, like labeling yourself a nationalist. There's no need to go there. But if we make it a slippery slope and include every little emulation of any ethnic group off limits, then we might as well abolish Halloween and all hire lawyers to tell us what we can and can't say in mixed company. Whites - Don't use the N-word or black face. Blacks - Don't get offended by the Dukes of Hazard because they had a Confederate flag on their car. Everyone - Don't take offense when it isn't intended, and realize some words and practices are too loaded with baggage to use in a non-offensive way.

  6898. Facts: 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.

  6901.  @firestream93  - There is very credible evidence that Trump committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. His charity was shut down for fraud. His "university" was shut down for fraud. He's under investigation in Georgia for election tampering. His company's CFO has been indicted. His longtime ally has been indicted for violating FARA laws that resulted in UAE interests winding up in Trump's speeches. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, said he was "joking." He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He's a compulsive liar who made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years.

  6903.  @firestream93  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'NT" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  6904.  @firestream93  - There's no crime called "collusion". Mueller never said there was no collusion because it simply means COOPERATION. Trump and his people clearly cooperated with the Russians. CONSPIRACY is a crime statute. Mueller declined to charge conspiracy because 1)- It was hard to prove because it goes to intent. Did Trump KNOW he was conspiring? 2)- DOJ protocols said you can't charge a sitting president. Mueller DID say, and laid out the case that Trump committed OBSTRUCTION at least ten times. There was collusion. Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign manager met with surrogates of the Russian government in to trade illegally obtained "dirt" on Clinton for sanction relief. Those involved admit that. Imagine that was Hillary, her daughter, son-in-law, and campaign manager. Tell me that wouldn't be reason for an investigation.

  6906. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico. Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

  6908. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

Then, you point out that BLM rioters were handled the same way and that higher level insurrectionists have not been charged with higher crimes yet, and they conjure conspiracy theories. Yeah, because "Antifa" or a few FBI agents can incite a riot on the spot, but it's inconceivable that Trump, Stone and Giuliani could incite one with months of rhetoric, including a cry for "trial by combat"??

  6912. Trump's base is like a cult. Cult 45. How do you stop a cult? You de-program it. You kidnap them individually and remind them who loves them who their friends and family are. Obviously, we can't kidnap each Trump follower, but they have to be reminded of what their country was. Their friends are their fellow citizens, even liberals they disagree with. America is their family, not Russia. Bill Maher asked Roger Stone, indicted Trump campaign strategist, if he really thought the Democrats were worse than the Russians. Stone pretty much said yes. What should that tell us?

  6913. This is a systemic problem. We need to end the war on drugs.

  6914.    "Kingpins"?? You have no idea what this was about. The whole problem us that the cops conduct drug raids over the smallest amounts of drugs with insufficient intelligence. They targeted her house by mistake because she knew a drug dealer. That's it. This whole thing could have been over small amounts of weed that Brianna Taylor and her boyfriend weren't even involved with.
    2
  6915.  @junebugg719  It is the SYSTEM that makes it LEGAL for the cops to go gun crazy, kick in doors, and empty their clips at the slightest perception of a threat. Usually, the cops do NOT break the law, and were following their training. So, they get off, and the system is not reformed. Then, it happens again. The Republicans won't even admit there is a systemic problem. So, where does that leave us? It happens again and again, and the cops treat it like just some faultless, unavoidable event, like a tornado hitting your house or a faultless car wreck.

  6918. BEST COMMENT EVER to make a point about Trump. So good, I copied, and am now pasting it. (Sorry, I don't remember who originally posted it or the citations): The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns. The “genius” who hides his college grades. The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 yrs. The “playboy” who pays for $ex. The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church. The “philanthropist” who defrauds charities. The “patriot” who dodged the draft. The “innocent man” who refuses to testify. The “President” who takes no responsibility. The “tough, strong man“ who wears makeup and hairspray but never a mask. The “deal maker” who has yet to close a deal. (I'd add "The 'asset to the black community' who constantly says racially offensive things"). If America reelects this guy, it deserves the dystopian future that follows. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.” ― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999 “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.” ― The Donald @ The David Letterman Show, January 2015 “We’re going to have insurance for everybody. We’re going to have a healthcare that is far less expensive and far better.” ― The Donald @ interview with The Washington Post, January 2017 “Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.” ― The Donald @ interview with CNN, 2007 “I know her [Hillary Clinton] and she'd make a good president or good vice president.” [speaking of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries] ― The Donald @ "Trumped!", a syndicated radio feature, 2008 “I don’t want to pivot... If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people.” ― The Donald @ interview with Wisconsin television station WKBT, August 2016 “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s, like, incredible.” ― The Donald @ campaign rally in Iowa, January 2016 “I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular [i.e. cabinet] positions I just don’t want a poor person.” ― The Donald @ rally in Iowa, June 2017 “I think if this country gets any kinder or gentler, it’s literally going to cease to exist.” ― The Donald @ Playboy, March 1990 “The point is that you can’t be too greedy.” ― The Donald @ “The Art of the Deal”, 1987 “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” [speaking of having $ex and referring to women's geпitals as “potential landmines”.] ― The Donald @ interview on The Howard Stern Show, November 1997 “Vagiпa is expensive.” ― The Donald @ his second wedding, as retold on The Howard Stern Show, 1997 “Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.” ― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2013 “You can’t con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.” ― The Donald @ “The Art of the Deal”, 1987

  6920. Don't you Trumpers get it? It isn't about qualifying how much of a "shithole" these countries are. It is way beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! And we're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you! But go ahead, Trumpers, tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry. Plain and simple.
    2
  6921. You people who say that are such IDIOTS! Do you not understand what a poll is? It is a survey. It is a percent chance. If you bet on a horse that has only a 10% chance of winning, and it wins, IT STILL ONLY HAD A 10% CHANCE OF WINNING! Any time there is a news story about a poll, the comment boards fill up with Trump loving idiots who say that CNN faked a poll or can't take a poll correctly. And by the way, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Polls reflect the popular vote, so the candidate with the overwhelming chance won the popular vote.

  6922. M K - So, to you, Democrats and CNN are the same thing?

  6923. Weining Chen - Name one lie.

  6924. He already let Russian "diplomats" (spies) into the Oval Office and shut out the American press at Putin's request. (Where he called our FBI Director a nut job and gave them Israeli spy secrets). The Russians broke even that arrangement and released pictures they weren't supposed to, but did we hear a critical word from Trump?
    2
  6925. Make no mistakes. Trump isn't PREDICTING a revolt. He is trying to INCITE one. Is he calling for those people to respect the rule of law, which includes the impeachment process? No. We've been trying to tell you Trump-loving morons - HE IS DANGEROUS.
    2
  6926. There is no specific point where life begins. Life is a circle, not a straight line. That's why abortion should be a matter of choice left up to the mother, who is inextricably bound to it.

  6930. White Champion - They're creating identities? You do realize that ballots are verified, right? You can't just conterfeit a ballot.
    2
  6931.  Joy Division  No, Russia INFLUENCED the elections. Trump tried like hell to rig them. Even if your comment did make sense, it wouldn't prove that Trump won. That's absurd. Trump spent four years demonizing over half of the country, and polled 8-12 points behind Biden the whole time. But you think he won??
    2
  6932. Puerto Rico. He thinks it's a foreign country.
    2
  6933. Trump has said, 1)- The Constitution says he can do whatever he wants. 2)- Anyone who criticized him should leave the country. His lawyer has argued, 3)- If the president believes what he is doing benefits the country, then it can't be wrong. But that guy wouldn't abuse his power, would he? No way that guy would want to be a dictator. This is the precedent the Republicans have set.
    2
  6934. Trump 2020 - Great reason to vote for a president. Like Trump, you have the maturity and intelligence of a 12 year old. What if Democrats were in charge, they didn't care what half the country thought, and only wanted to "trigger the conservatives"? Grow up.
    2
  6935. Dragon1717 - Yeah. 51% of the country wants him removed. That's not a disapproval rating. It's a removal rating. But he'll win. Sure.
    2
  6936. On Bill Maher's show, Jim Carrey said, "There are generations growing up who are learning to hate half the country". True dat. Republicans embrace that war-footing mentality. It's our enemies' wet dream. Napolean said, "Divide and conquer". What's better than your enemies dividing themselves? It's part of Putin's plan to get his old, Soviet Union back. The Russians created CALEXIT - an organization to get California to succeed from the union. He needs the US out of the way so he can mess with Western Europe. It's why he hates NATO. ("NATO is obsolete" - Donald Trump). It's why Putin supports BREXIT. This hyper-partisan mentality has been gathering steam over the past 30 years, and Trump is OBVIOUSLY exploiting it. Is there any doubt that he wants us to think a liberal opinion isn't even worth listening to? Why MSM is "liberal fake news", but not FOX News! No, that's not mainstream media, is it?
    2
  6937. Just as the experts predicted. We didn't do it right in the spring. Now, it's back with a vengeance in winter. Everybody screwed this up - The White House, the politicians, the media, and the individual citizens who would rather rage against "government tyranny" instead of just making some small, temporary sacrifices.
    2
  6938. Trump effectively took the Sunni side of the Sunni/Shiite conflict with that Saudi arms deal. Even Dems wouldn't get tough with the Saudis. Not even Bush after 9/11. There is no chance Trump will. But the Magnitsky Act is already being evoked, and in a bipartisan way. This will get ugly.
    2
  6939. So, it's Biden vs. Trump The man who's made a few racially insensitive gaffes or the hero to the KKK? The 76 year old who has occasional "senior moments," or the 74 year old who can't keep his attention on a single printed page, repeats himself constantly, and can't speak without going on tangents? The man who is accused without proof of a few instances of corruption by the opposition, or the guy who is credibly accused of many felonies, was impeached, lies compulsively, hides records, and uses his power to fire/remove everyone who tries to investigate him?
    2
  6940. John Patrick - Oh, fuck off with that shit. "It's to teach them not to call us deplorable". Yeah, right. Because otherwise, Trump would be respectful and wouldn't use childish nicknames. Sure. Do you hear yourself? "You just hate Trump", you all say. Yes, we fucking hate him - for good reason.
    2
  6941. This is no longer politics. It's psychology now. Who people vote for is about the voters' personal feelings and biases. It has little to do with the actual candidates.

  6942. Republicans are selfish and Christians think God will save them.

  6943. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!
    2
  6944. The investigations into Trump and his people are all based on valid, reasonable suspicion. The investigations into the investigators are not. Plain and simple.
    2
  6945. -Mars - That doesn't make any sense.
    2
  6946. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  6947. Russell T - Yup, your response was predictable. Look up the word "virtually". Do you insist the sky is green, too?
    2
  6948. SPZ Aruba - Thanks for proving my point with that "No, YOU are" reply. It is clearly NOT some kind of coup attempt to worry about the nuclear codes being under the control of a madman who clearly did attempt a coup.
    2
  6949. SPZ Aruba - ...And she didn't meet with them. She called General Milley, and did not try to claim control of the nukes. Why don't you learn something before you spend time saying ridiculous things about what you have no interest in understanding. Do you not see the double standard? What Pelosi did was a "coup", but what Trump did isn't?? That is the structure of half of the arguments of Trump supporters in these threads - "What about?" with the false assertion that all liberals excuse whatever a Democrat does. No, that is CLEARLY YOU who does that. You can see it from space.
    2
  6950. Can any of you idiots just make your idiotic points without mentioning CNN? Get it? Fools.
    2
  6951. LOL. FOX News and the Republicans were like, "George W who?" after he left with a 28% approval rating. Can you imagine if, God forbid, Trump got a second term, what his support base and approval rating would look like in year 7?
    2
  6952. Jester Avrgjoe - You literally have no proof of that.

  6953. White Champion - Now DNA tests are "fake"? You might not like to hear this, but the human race has been traced to Africa. Your ancestors were black as midnight.
    2
  6954. "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.
    2
  6955. Just because you oppose Trump's wall doesn't mean you want open borders. Wanting gun control doesn't mean you want to abolish the 2nd Amendment. Wanting government regulation doesn't mean you want a socialist society. Pro-choice doesn't mean you want to murder babies. Discussing race doesn't make you a racist. Wanting answers about Russia doesn't mean you're on a witch hunt or want WWIII. Political correctness doesn't mean you're against free speech. Reporting negative facts about Republicans doesn't make a journalist a leftist.
    2
  6956. Dean Martin - Wake up. What do you think Obama did to Minnesota? He HELD BACK money that BELONGED TO IRAN for leverage for the Iran deal. It's Trump who is doing damage we won't see the full extent of until later. Do you realize how much he lies??? What should that tell you?
    2
  6957. Dean Martin - Yes, the Uranium One deal was approved by Obama. In fact, he was the only one who could veto it, but yet, you people blame Hillary. There was no sale of uranium to Russia. Get your facts straight.
    2
  6958. WTF is wrong with you CNN bashing trolls? "CNN this. CNN that. CNN lies!" but you can't EVER name ONE LIE. Christ, can you not just talk about what's IN the report without talking about WHO reported it? Always bitching about how OTHERS might interpret their "propaganda". How about forgetting about the ANALYSIS and just take in the FACTS, which by the way, are virtually always accurate. Or, stop watching it. How about that? Since you hate it so much, why spend all this time trolling its comment boards? What you morons don't see is that YOU are the biased ones. YOU are the brainwashed. And you look pathetic and stupid.
    2
  6959. adva501 - But I thought CNN worked for the DNC, and they are all in on a conspiracy to turn America socialist. Shouldn't they LOVE Bernie? Fucking idiots. You have no clue about how government oi r journalism work. You're just as bunch of pathetic trolls. I picture you people as 19 year old losers in your mothers' basements, but the reality is probably that you're mostly 45 year olds who should know better. SMH.

  6960. John Bell - They're too dumb to realize Trump was insulting them. And ironic, too, as Trump is just as dumb as they are.

  6963. ocean buoy - Why are you telling me? Oh, because you assume I'm a liberal, so I must support Romney (who I voted against), and since Trump doesn't like him, he must be a RINO, and therefore a commie, right? You're an idiot.
    2
  6964. Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? That's a self-contradiction. People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.
    2
  6965. Yeah, we should listen to economic predictions from soneone who calls themself "Biden sucks." Shouldn't you be calling your mom to pick you up from the mall or trying to stick firecrackers up cats butts?
    2
  6966. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.
    2
  6967. McCain just passed away. Flake and Corker are retiring. Rand Paul is out of his mind. Lindsey Graham is a flip-flopping hypocrite. Any halfway decent Republican Senators left? The Republican Congressmen are all sleazy. Two were just indicted - One has the nerve to blame his wife. The whole White House is a swamp. Even FOX News is criticizing Trump. This is the beginning of the end of the Republican party.

  6971. Musket Merve - CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, multiple ballot audits, recounts in every battleground state, an extremely detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly attempted to commit fraud himself. Trump's own chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed 2020 election bid. Nowhere does it say there was fraud, and it acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead over Trump. And you think he was cheated?
    2
  6972.  @musketmerve1436  EVERY AVENUE was taken to prove there was no fraud. Did you read my post? Cop - "You're reporting a theft? Who do you think might have done it?" Don - "Joe and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think it was them?" Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"
    2
  6973. Saying "There's no collusion" over and over doesn't cut it. Trump has some explaing to do. If it's a Democrat/Clinton hoax, how did this hoax work? Who was involved? How could they have pulled-off this hoax WITHOUT involving certain people and/or agencies? Can he explain why 9 of his associates lied about Russian contacts? Why does Trump refuse to even acknowledge the Russian attack when his own son met with them for the stated purpose of interfering? What did he know and when did he know about the Trump Tower meeting? Flynn talking to the FBI? Papadopoulos seeking to meet with the Russians? Carter Page going to Moscow? The party platform change? Maybe it's all a big misunderstanding, and Trump, Mueller, and the lawyers will be laughing about it over drinks down at the Regal Beagle afterward. (eye roll).
    2
  6974. phantomcreamer - There is LOTS of evidence. We know Don Jr met with the Russian government to trade sanction relief for dirt on Clinton. That's collusion. What, you think there is no room for suspicion? We know 9 Trump associates lied about contacts. There is the Papadopoulos thing - collusion. But that's neither here nor there, because FIRST THEY GATHER EVIDENCE. THEN THE PROBE ENDS. THEN WE HEAR ABOUT THE EVIDENCE! Duh!

  6975. Indictments and immunity agreements.

  6978. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  6979. What reason do you people even have to claim Biden is in bed with the Chinese? Oh, I get it. China is communist. Republicans baselessly claim Democrats are all communists. Therefore, Biden is crooked for China. It's ridiculously, mind-numbingly stupid.

  6981. ANOTHER political "hit job"? You'd think if that "deep state" was so powerful, then Democrats would control the White House, Senate, and have a liberal majority on the Supreme Court. Maybe that's their evil plan - to let Republicans be in charge so they can spend all of their time losing executive and legislative battles to the majority.

  6982. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  6984. Muddy Water - It was investigated, and no, it is definitely not reason for a foreign country to investigate an American elder statesman who is the president's chief political rival. Think, McFly, Giuliani and his thugs, who are not part of the government, had a career diplomat fired who WAS known for fighting Ukrainian corruption. This has got to be the lamest bullshit excuse ever, in the history of this country. If Trump wants to fight corruption, he should start with his crooked-ass cabinet.

  6987.  @devo2  - Who told you that BS? You don't think he'd have said that himself if it was true? It's statements like yours that show you have no credibility whatsoever. You must think EVERYTHING you see that you don't like is a plot against you and your usual enemy, "the leftists". It's mindless. Your claims of bias apply to yourself more than anyone else. You're incapable of having a good faith discussion. You're too foolish to simply explore the DETAILS of your conspiracy theories because you simply refuse to leave your safe, little bubble. You keep yourself uninformed. You don't even really know why you've chosen the right-wing tribe you're loyal to because you can't make an informed decision when you're self-disinformed and unwilling to learn how anything works. It's why lawmakers actually refuse to even read Republican's reports that completely debunk those election fraud conspiracy theories. But they might be afraid of culpability issues. What's your excuse?

  6988. IMPEACH TRUMP! Mueller could not have been more clear. Literally, the guidelines and statutes did not allow him to be any more clear than he was. He was prohibited from indicting a sitting president, and prohibited from voicing his opinion about, or discussing subjects he didn't indict. He also made it clear that, since there was no recourse within his office, the matter must be handled by another entity - THAT MEANS YOU, CONGRESS! Their Q&A with Mueller made it absolutely clear that Trump obstructed justice many times. The Republicans did not even dispute the veracity of anything in the report. All they could do is make baseless accusations of "bias" because of what they claim was NOT in the report, and beat that dead horse about the FISA warrant and the dossier. Democrats need to impeach Trump, and immediately start enforcing ALL of those subpoenas that Barr and Trump are directing witnesses to defy.

  6996. So, the "deep state" plan to get Trump was to let him - even HELP him - get elected, and then go after him afterward? You'd think they would try to PREVENT his election in the first place. Why would Comey announce the re-opening of the Clinton email case, but not the Russia investigation? (To stay out of politics). Why didn't the Clinton camp put out the dossier before the election? (Steele didn't give it to Clinton. He gave it to the FBI). Why didn't the Clinton camp expose Manafort, Papadopoulos, Cohen, and Page's dealings before the election? (Clinton didn't know about it. The FBI did, and they kept it quiet so they wouldn't screw-up their case. If they were out to stop Trump, they would have leaked it to Clinton). Make sense?

  7000. There isn't even a claim or accusation here. Have you overlooked that basic fact? There is nothing to investigate with Biden. His son worked for a Ukrainian company that was once investigated and cleared. End of story. Trump, on the other hand, has prompted someone high up in the intel community to use whistleblower protections about something Trump did, and the Inspector General agrees that it is of URGENT CONCERN. Trump is blocking Congress from investigating THAT. And you're focused on Biden??

  7003. Don't you know by now when Trump is joking or being sarcastic? He's the funniest guy in history. Nobody knows more about humor. Carlin and Pryor were BORING, like failing SNL. SAD! Don't you know by now whether to take Trump literally or figuratively? If you can't read between his lines, you're an idiot. Why should a president ever have to be articulate, or even use complete sentences? It's simple: If Trump's mouth gets him in trouble, he was joking. If he says something racially offensive, then prove his words were literally offensive, or else you're just a liberal, socialist hater, who hates America. You just can't handle how real he is. "Just remember, what you're seeing and hearing is not what's happening". (An actual Trump quote). He can hereby order ANYTHING, because of Article 2, so don't let the fake news tell you differently. No thanks to libturds giving the Chosen One a hard time. He sacrificed everything to save the world. He's a genius, and a stable one, too! He learned to drive when he was three...oh, wait, that was Kim Jong Un. But he was born under a double rainbow...oh, wait, that was Kim Jong Ill.

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.

  7006. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

Should your vote count less if you live where a lot of people live? Should we portion out votes by land mass? If all but 100 people in the US suddenly moved to California, what do you think that should mean for the electoral system? And don't even try to say the Dems cheated in California with an illegal voter scam, either, because it makes no sense that any candidate would do that in a state they were already sure to win, not to mention the impossible logistics of getting away with something like that. Grow a brain.

  7014. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words. He uses the words, "nationalism" and "alien" for a reason. He could clearly use other words. Let's assume for a moment that Trump is not a race-baiter. The racial hate groups, ALL of which are on the right, insist he supports them. Whether he does or not, that is the MESSAGE they get, and Trump sure seems more than happy to let that continue. Save your whataboutism. I'm no fan of Antifa, it isn't a racial hate group, and the best whataboutism can do is to assert that two wrongs make a right.

  7022. 1)- Only 51 votes were needed to avoid a shutdown without any new spending. 2)- 5 Dems crossed over, and 4 Republicans crossed over - That destroys the argument that it was all the Dems fault. 3)- Trump rescinded DACA on his own, and said the reason was only because it was by executive order and not legislated through Congress. He could have asked Congress to pass it as it was, problem solved. He CLEARLY took DACA hostage to use it as leverage. 4)- Trump could have ended DACA, but grandfathered-in those who were ALREADY in the program, and let them stay. (Mr. "Art of the Deal" doesn't know rule #1 of deal making - DON'T BREAK A DEAL!) There would have been very little Democratic resistance to that. 5)- "They have until March 5th. No hurry". Really? If you were suddenly told you today that you have six weeks to move or be evicted, would you think, "No sweat"? How about if that meant, not only having to find a new place, but to find one IN A STRANGE COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN? You're in college. You don't speak the language, know nothing about the culture, the city, etc., and you have to get a truck, find a home, maybe find a storage unit in Guatemala! 6)- McConnell himself said he couldn't even figure out what Trump wants. 7)- A deal was all but done before Trump made the most racist, insulting statement any president has made since the Civil Rights Movement. "How is putting America first racist"? Give me a break! I'd say it's politics 101 that you don't say things like that, but it wouldn't even have to be put in the fucking 101 textbook. - And Trump contradicted himself saying it was because he wanted "merit based" immigration. It is CLEARLY based on nationality to say "take them (Haitians) out", and to say you don't want to even look at the merits of Haitians and Africans! Duh. 8)- Trump said he would sign whatever the people in that meeting came up with, then flip-flopped and demanded funding for a wall he still says he wants Mexico to pay for and won't even say how Mexico will reasonably reimburse us. Holy shit, go try to get a loan from a bank talking like that, and see where it gets you! "How will I pay back this huge loan? Well, this dude, Frank owes me a bunch of money. He says he doesn't, and he really doesn't, but I have ways to nickel and dime it out of him to make my payments to you".!?!?

  7025. Republicans hate change. Being conservative is one thing. Denying the future is another. They reflexively resist clean energy, ethnic diversity, pot legalization, health care reform, and progress with Cuba and Iran. They only care about the next election, even if it means feeding BS to their base that leaves their extremists festering with anger like time bombs. They're stuck on an 18th century militia model of gun rights, as if the Brits are going to invade or as if they'd stand a chance if the US military turned its high-tech weapons and robot soldiers on them. They don't want the minimum wage to keep up with inflation. They want a 2000 year old religion to influence the government. Their last President was a 50's man who liked Sinatra and wanted the wife to have dinner on the table when he got home. You don't have to be a progressive to progress.

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.

It would be the ultimate inefficiency.

  7033. Trump conned America into thinking he was great at business by playing a great businessman on TV, but then Putin out-conned Don the Con. Because he's NOT a great businessman, Trump started losing his fortune. US banks wouldn't finance him anymore because he was such a bad businessman that he lost money in the casino business, where THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS. So, Putin stepped-in and became his financier. Trump always blames others for his own mistakes, so he blamed his own country for not believing in him like Putin did. Trump was the perfect tool - A famous, stupid, greedy egomaniac with a grudge against America. He craved attention, and had always wanted to be President. Putin was there to make his dreams come true. All he asked in return was for a little help with the pesky little US sanction problem that was hindering his efforts to re-build the Soviet Union he'd lost. MICE - Money. Ideology. Compromise. Ego. 3 out of 4 ain't bad, right? Even better if the target has no Ideology. Putin wouldn't want his puppet having patriotic Ideals that could get in the way.
    2
  7034. - 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.

  7035. You people are really reaching. WAKE UP!! This is totally consistent with Trump's attitude and prior statements. The more you stay in denial, the harder it will be to leave the MAGA cult. Have you noticed that Trump followers won't criticize ANYTHING he does or says? He's perfect? No. The weaker your case, the more you get defensive. But sure, EVERYTHING this obviously flawed, inexperienced man does is either the smartest thing in the world or a lie concocted by the Dems and the mecia, right? Everyone is lying but him, all the time? My God, then you take it further and play "gotcha" with every little thing you can spin up on a Democrat - usually false, but when true, almost ALWAYS something Trump, himself, has done WAY worse! Pure projection. FACE FACTS. Trump is an unempathetic, inexperienced, elitist, cheating, habitually lying, narcissistic MORON with a major personality disorder. ACCEPT IT AND LET HIM GO ALREADY! Jeez, all you need to do is ask yourself, "If Obama or Hillary had done or said this, what would I think?" Do I need to repeat that? If it was Clinton or Obama, what would you believe? Would you believe the media? Would you defend them? Just ask YOURSELF, so you don't get all pissy and defensive from waging a losing argument with someone. Then wake up and grow up!!

  7036. The El Paso shooter called immigrants "invaders". Trump PURPOSELY uses the term, "illegal ALIEN". He repeats that Stalin term "enemy of the people", and news outlets get threats from nut jobs using that phrase. Don't forget Trump's "Second Amendment people" remark about Hillary. He has defended the word, "nationalist", knowing it's a loaded word. Look at how he handled Charlottesville. Right after he was elected, the racist National Policy Institute felt emboldened enough to say "Hail Trump" while imitating the Nazi salute. Racial hate groups say Trump SUPPORTS THEM. What's he doing about it? Don't say he denounced them. Apparently not enough. If he spent a fraction of the time he spends on Twitter saying he doesn't speak for them as he does spewing bigoted garbage, they might get the message. But he just keeps it up, and then argues about the literal meanings of his words. Maybe he should go call some black people "monkeys", then tell them monkeys are just mammals.

That's what "systemic" means.

  7038. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  7039. For those Trump followers who say, "What about the rioters?" when asked about the health of rallygoers: - That's not a reasonable answer. - PROTESTING, (not rioting), AND attending a Trump rally are BOTH UNSAFE. - Most protesters wear masks. Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns. You can watch him lie on TV.

  7040. Remember, Trump said it was perfectly okay to solicit election help from foreign governments, although I'm sure he wouldn't think it was okay if his opponents did it.

  7044. Canada barely has a problem with this, but Northern US and Alaska do. The Canadians locked down early and restricted travel between provinces. They have more than two political parties, making it harder to politicize. If we in the US had done this right, we'd be mostly over it by now, enjoying a rebounding economy.

  7049. James W - What the hell are you talking about? In a criminal trial, the defendant is accused of a crime. The trial is what determines that. Duuuh. And an impeachment does not require that a crime has been committed.

  7050. James W - Are you really this stupid? Trump is credibly accused of crimes. The trial, which should include witnesses, determines guilt or not.

  7053. -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 over 100 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  7054. John Taylor - Your argument makes no sense. Damn, you people don't even try to think about those talking points before you parrot them, do you? Rush it through? Pelosi sat on those articles for a month. And another lie is that it was so much faster than the Clinton impeachment. WRONG. Take it at face value. It's obvious. THEY WANT A TRIAL WITHOUT WITNESSES BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING MORON!
    2
  7055. People forget that the Mueller probe is about finding out what the Russians did and how to prevent it in the future. If it leads back to the Trump campaign, it is what it is. If Trump stopped the probe, the very next question on everyones' mind would be, "So... What are we doing about the Russians?" This doesn't go away. If Trump can't cooperate, never mind as a target, but as a WITNESS, then it begs the question - Shouldn't he WANT to know if someone in his camp was screwing around with the Russian government?
    2
  7056. Trump is trying to conflate several issues. VANDALISM AT PROTESTS IS SEPARATE FROM OTHER CRIMES! It's obvious he wants to lump them into the same category and blame all crime on Dems. He wants us to think they ALL support every BLM demand, rioting, anarchy, and communism. The most bizarre suggestion is that those who oppose police brutality and racism are racists themselves. Really? Anyone who opposes racism must be a Democrat? It's absurd to say all vandals are Dems. Most don't care at all about government or politics. Has Trump tried to find out WHY crime is spiking? What are they supposedly doing wrong in Dem cities as opposed to Republican cities? Crime always spikes in the summer. COVID is obviously a factor. It's causing economic distress. Authorities are trying not to fill the jails and spread the virus. That's EVERYWHERE, not just in "Dem cities." That's a ridiculous term in the first place. "Dem cities"? What? Where the Mayor is a Dem? What about the Governor? The state AG? Congressmen? Senators? The PRESIDENT? Republicans cry, "You can't keep your [city, district, state, county] clean and safe!" to attack any Dem lawmaker. There are MANY factors. For murders, you need detectives. Gang crimes, gang units. Riots, riot police. There are criteria for charging state and federal crimes. Has Trump addressed ANY of this?? He's not even asking what these mayors and local cops need. THIS IS A LOW-DOWN POLITICAL PLOY, and it smacks of fascism and it's reminiscent of the civil unrest of the 1960s.

  7057. Wahn Cologne - You morons are always using the economy to justify Trump's racism. No wars? That's the bar? By the way, Kim Jong Un just announced that he is thinking about re-starting a reactor. Trump is funding abd supplying weapons to the Saudis in a religiously morivated civil war in Yemen. He is taking sides in the Sunni/Shia conflict. Iran didn't start this shit until Trump pulled out of the Iran deal and hired John Bolton. The only reason we aren't in Venezuela is because Trump bowed to Putin's pressure. Wake up.
    2
  7058.  @OceanFragments  - They THRIVE on victimhood. That's why Trump's grievance politics worked do well on them. When they're out of power, they blame the Dems for everything. When they're in power, they blane the "Democratic deep state." How convenient.
    2
  7059. Bruce Lee - But Trump didn't say it was normal. He lied and said it was slippery. You do realize that he has repeatedly lied about health and checkups as he throws baseless accusations out there about Clinton and Biden, right? And before you say, "It's none of our business", maybe so. But he doesn't say that either. He lies.

  7064.  Star Gazer  What are you talking about. Of course she is going to correct Trump, who LIED about losing the popular vote. Why should anyone be "outraged" about her saying that when she rarely gets on a mic. Hell yeah we should be angry at how she was treated. TRUMP'S PEOPLE MET WITH SURROGATES OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT TO SPREAD ILLEGALLY OBTAINED DIRT ABOUT HER AND HER PARTY! But I'm sure you'll just ignore that FACT, right?
    2
  7065.  @brianlawrence8314  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?
    2
  7066.  @brianlawrence8314  Mueller found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which is simply cooperation. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump is a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring.

  7070. Yes, they did, and Trump said on camera that his withdrawal plan was designed to force the next administration to abide to his plan - which did not include the actual Afghan government, so it's no wonder they fled.

  7071. A demented, catatonic, drooling, sleepy Joe Biden in a wheelchair, loaded up on pain killers in his basement is more coherent than Trump on his best day.

  7072. The President of the United States has now said that the Special Counselors Office plans to meddle in the mid-term election. Let that sink in... Trump says Mueller is going to rig the mid-terms... Is that sinking in, Trump followers? Do you understand the gravity of that?? The President... of the United States says... There is no evidence of that. Where would you even begin to..? I mean, the insanity! Of all his bizarre claims, this is the craziest! His defenders will go on TV and radio and say, "I think what he means by that is... " No. Fucking No! THERE IS NO RATIONALIZING THIS! It is time to MAKE HIM EXPLAIN THIS! And when he can't, because there is no fucking explanation, he needs to be removed via the 25th Amendment!
    2
  7073. That talking point about media refusing to do negative stories about Dems is BS. The media compete with each other for MONEY by way of SENSATIONALISM. If they don't do it, their competition will. They aren't beholden to a political party. Red or blue, their money is all green.

  7079. JoeyFiveandDimes - He got caught up in a Russian spy ring in 2013 where a Russian spy was imprisoned and another fled to Moscow. You'd think after finding out he was being used by Russian spies, he wouldn't want to see another Russian for the rest of his life. But two years later, he was working for Trump, traveling to Moscow to make speeches trashing the US government while the Russians were having our systems to help his boss win. I would think that's exactly the kind of person the FBI and CIA should be keeping an eye on.

  7080. Doondah - Where the hell did you come up with that?

  7081. Trump often complains that his words are misunderstood. He should learn to better articulate. How many times have you heard his associates say, "I think what the President MEANT was..," and then blame liberals and the media for misunderstanding? Or said he was "joking" about things he's OBVIOUSLY not joking about? At the Helsinki summit, he said we should have known that he meant to say, "I don't see why it WOULDN'T have been Russia (who attacked our election)," instead of "WOULD." Well, you'd have to be an idiot to not know what his position is. Does any reasonable person think he was really joking about not wanting COVID testing because the numbers make him look bad? He was joking every one of the dozens of times he had said it before? We know what his position is. How about his being "sarcastic" about asking Russia to find Hillary's emails? Does he even know what "sarcasm" means? Later, he would make it clear that his position was that it's okay to solicit foreign election help. Think he was joking when he openly asked China to help him win? When he said it was okay for voters to vote twice if it was in his favor? When he said he would pardon DHS staff for breaking eminent domain laws? His supporters cry, "the media lies" without being able to cite anything but the rare media mistake, but excuse his 19,000 lies. They claim that we just don't understand them, so help us understand. Tell us, Trump fans, why do you abandon all reason and common sense for him?
    2
  7082. We've got a president who has said: 1)- Article 2 lets him do anything he wants with impunity, and 2)- If you don't like it, you can leave. At the very beginning of his presidency, Trump's top advisor, Steven Miller, said, "This president will not be questioned". Miller, in his 30s, with NO experience in politics, has ties to racists like Richard Spencer, of the National Policy Institute, ("Hail Trump!" Remember that?). Dictators have historically used racism and xenophobia to seize and maintain power. Remember Adolf Hitler? Joseph Stalin, Russian Communist tyrant, coined the phrase, "Enemy of the people" in reference to the press. Trump praises dictators, specifically for their handling of the press. Putin murders journalists. Trump "joked" about admiring how Kim Jong Un's people obey him. Napolean used "divide and conquer". What's better than getting your enemies to divide themselves? Then, your fingerprints aren't on it. And Trump followers gaslight us when we say he wants to be a dictator?!
    2
  7083. So, the MAGA crowd argues that the insurrectionists should only get charged with trespassing, and that BLM rioters were given a break. Then, you point out that BLM rioters were handled the same way and that higher level insurrectionists have not been charged with higher crimes yet, and they conjure conspiracy theories. Yeah, because "Antifa" or a few FBI agents can incite a riot on the spot, but it's inconceivable that Trump, Stone and Giuliani could incite one with months of rhetoric, including a cry for "trial by combat"??

  7084. I heard somewhere that dogs actually don't like to be hugged. It causes some kind of stress response. Probably the same place I heard that they like you to watch when they take a dump, because wolves were vulnerable to attack then.

  7088.  @barbaragrant9337  - He wasn't found innocent. He was found not guilty. There's a difference. If Biden did the same things, would you defend him?

  7089.  @barbaragrant9337  - It's called "not guilty" for a reason. Nobody is found "innocent." You are mind-numbingly stupid.
    2
  7090.  @barbaragrant9337  ... Plus, the Senate is not a court of law. It's a political body. He can still be charged by an actual court. He probably will be - For Obstruction of Justice by the DOJ, tax, charity, and bank fraud by SDNY, and whatever they want to call his election meddling in the state of Georgia. He committed most if his crimes in plain sight.

  7091. Sunny Deol - Proof? Trump's 19,000+ Lies (To put it in perspective, by the same standard, Obama lied 143 times in 8 years). https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/01/president-trump-made-19127-false-or-misleading-claims-1226-days/%3foutputType=amp https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/

  7094. Paul Maulton - The most important thing is finding out what the Russians did and what they are up to now, whether there was collusion or not. You don't think that's important? Trump doesn't! Screw the dossier. It's checking out, but it was not what started the probe. And Steele didn't give that info. to the Clinton camp. He gave it to the FBI, because that was more important. Two quotes: 1)- "I think anyone would have taken that meeting" - That's what Trump said about his son meeting with Russian government reps to get illegally obtained dirt on his opponent, so it's pretty hypocritical to complain about the dossier. 2)- "People deserve to know if their president is a crook" - Richard Nixon. There is good reason to investigate whether our president runs a charity as a slush fund, has laundered money for the Russians, evaded taxes, broken emoluments laws, broken campaign finance laws, and is quite possibly beholden to Putin. You people think any hint of nefarious behavior by Clinton (who is not president), or the FBI - out of context, without evidence - is proof positive of wrongdoing. The double standard is absurd.

  7095. She's got a face for right-wing talk radio.

  7096. Can Trump stop doing negative, newsworthy things? The president BROKE THE LAW, and altered a weather chart. That is newsworthy.
    2
  7097. He undermined his own argument that there were 12000 attendees. The lower bowl holds 9000 - except that about a third of that bowl is behind the stage. There was nobody in the upper concourse, so 6200 looks pretty spot-on accurate. "Just remember, what you're setting and hearing is not what's going on."

  7098. Start saving for Christmas early this year. Whatever Trump says, these tariffs are a tax on IMPORTS that US importers pay, then pass on to the consumer.
    2
  7099. THE FBI IS NOT FULL OF POLITICIANS! Think about it - Who works for the FBI? COPS. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to become political idealists. They joined to bust drug dealers, murderers, mafia thugs and money launderers. That's the nature of the business. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them when they suddenly had to deal with a perfect storm of having to make decisions about two unpopular presidential candidates who were both under investigation - both for good reason - during an election year. And if you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans, at least half. Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller and McCabe are all Conservatives. If Trump was so great, and appealed to enough Conservative Republicans to get elected, why is it such a stretch to believe members of the conservative-leaning FBI wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with Liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Sure, Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass, saying controversial things during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might settle down and "pivot" once he got elected. We thought he might not end up lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every single day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal" FBI shit is nonsense.

  7100. OK Internet What is wrong with you idiots? How does faking a poll hurt the president? Have you morons even given that any thought? Are you implying that people vote based on how other people vote? It's not horse racing. It's an election. Votes are private. You don't win money for voting for the eventual winner. Why would someone vote at all if they just want to do it to predict the winner?
    2
  7101. Imagine the intervention if Trump goes the way of Nixon. There's a staff meeting. Trump asks, "Where's the press? I wanted to televise this one." A staffer replies, "Outside. You don't want them here for this...Sir, it's over. Resign or the GOP will oust you." Then, he'd throw a fit. "No! Never! You're ALL TRAITORS! Get me Vladamir on the phone! I'll call for a civil war, dammit, I'll do it!!"
    2
  7102. 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.

  7103. Trump is practically the definition of a globalist. I'm not saying globalism is necessarily bad, but the Trumpers who think he isn't one are clueless.

The data show three things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  7116. Trump never learned anything, literally since day one, when he made a huge deal and lied about his inaugural crowd size. Fun fact: Trump entered the 2020 race on his first day in office, and declared it a national holiday. First president with absolutely ZERO experience in government, but he was sure he wanted a second term before starting his first.

  7117. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  7120. I wonder what they found in Cohen's office. Just musing here, but what if they found half a kilo of coke in a desk drawer? Maybe some scales? A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession. Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police". He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us? Trump is using the OJ Simpson defense - "You can't PROVE I DID IT because the lead detective was a racist and I'm black". I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

  7121. Let's not forget Trump's "Second Amendment people" remark about Hillary. Last week, there was a racially motivated shooting at that garlic festival. This shooter in El Paso called immigrants "invaders". Trump repeats that Stalin term "enemy of the people", and news outlets get threats from nut jobs using that phrase. Charlottesville. The MAGA bomber. The National Policy Institute was saying "Hail Trump" while imitating the Nazi salute in Washington, right after his election. RACIAL HATE GROUPS SAY TRUMP SUPPORTS THEM! What's he doing about it? Don't tell me he denounced them. Apparently not strongly enough. If he spent a fraction of the time he spends on Twitter saying he doesn't speak for them as he does spewing bigoted garbage, they might get the message. But he just keeps it up, and then gaslights his critics.

  7123. dread death - Michael Flynn, Carter Page, Jeff Sessions, Don Jr, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Jared Kushner, and George Papadopoulos. There is another one, I assure you. It slips my mind at the moment. They ALL lied about Russian contacts and lied on vetting and disclosure forms. Also, Trump himself, unless you don't believe working on a Trump Tower Moscow deal constitutes having "business in Russia". And the lies that are going to do him in are the ones where he says he didn't know about all of his people being in contact with Russians, his knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting, the party platform change, knowing Felix Sater, Kushner and his back-channel talks, and Flynn's conversations with Kislyak and with the FBI. If questioned, Trump has to take the 5th. He doesn't know what anyone else has said to Mueller.
    2
  7124. 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.

The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  7135. People Party - I don't know if they would, but I highly doubt it. I do know that if they did, it would be nearly impossible to pull it off. Again, HOW do you think Antifa did it? Jeez, you are saying there was fraud simply because a group of people out there don't like Trump. That's insane. Know what, I say YOU cheated FOR Trump. My assertion is just as valid as yours.

  7136. Why do you "CNN sucks" people do it? Why watch just to bash it? We KNOW you're not paying attention. It's projection to call it biased when YOU are OBVIOUSLY engaged in confirmation bias. Don't tell me it's to expose them. I've got problems with FOX News, and I can barely stand to watch for 5 minutes just to see what they're up to. Are you upset because they're "lying" to you? Don't watch. Is it because they're "lying" to others? Don't worry. We aren't the mindless sheep you think we are. Try LISTENING for a change, or go away. At least don't comment. Your opinion is noted. You just look like idiots pretending to know something about politics and journalism. There are lots of other types of videos on Youtube.

  7139.  @myname-yr8tz  - That talking point us ridiculous. Big cities elect Dems because they're BETTER at running them. Cities inherently contain poor populations, which always comes with problems. Have you considered how cities evolve? They don't just turn on a dime when a new Mayor is elected. No city is entirely "run by Democrats." There's a Mayor, maybe Aldermen, a Governor, two Senators, one or more Congressmen (or women), city councils, state legislatures... all have a hand in deciding how a locality is run and how it is funded. Do you think the current state of a 100 or 200 year old city depends on who's currently in office?? If you want to be SPECIFIC about a problem in a specific city, by all means, address it. But that "Democrat cities" talking point is NONSENSE.

  7151.  @alcajun619  BLM is protesting a REAL injustice. They feel they have no other recourse because the police departments and the courts have been failing them REPEATEDLY. Neither BLM nor any politicians called upon them to riot, and despite the talking points, those who crossed the line from protest to riot were pursued by law enforcement. 93% of the protests have been peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% did not riot. And the idea that they're all Democrats or even the type of people who know anything about politics is absurd. Does anyone think those thugs were looting, throwing bricks through windows, then meeting up later at Starbucks to discuss the topics on Meet the Press? The Trump mob was decidedly partisan, and acted on a LIE. Besides many recounts, audits and investigations, the courts ruled on the matter. When the mob attacked, they interrupted senators doing exactly what they wanted - objecting to the certification! Pence literally could not unilaterally stop certification. For Trump to say that he could was an outright LIE, and he did call upon them to riot. The MAGA crowd refuses to see the difference because they simply refuse to accept the truth. I post often on these comment boards, and NOT ONE person has been able to tell me just how this supposed fraud was carried out. Not one. If they'd simply learn how voting machines work and how elections are tallied, they would see how irrational and ridiculous their conspiracy theories are. For those who actually want to know, here it is, in great detail: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwld6Ly5TVs

You really think he DIDN'T suggest that? So, you people just can't accept he did anything you might disagree with? THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH YOU BRAINWASHED TRUMP CULTISTS. Is it any wonder why we call you cultists? Do you think I record every instance of everything reported on him and who reported it? Look it up. It was no secret.

  7154. Trump can't articulate what he wants! He has NO PLAN - for what kind of barrier, how to fund it, or how to deal with the consequences. There are issues with property rights, the environment, diplomacy, and lost commerce. He is LYING about the statistics. Mr. "humanitarian" won't address the asylum issue. Democrats agree that we need border security, but with a PLAN! The PRESIDENT isn't willing to carry out the most basic duties of the job.

  7155. hamish themack - What a load of crap. He has 6 years? Is his re-election guaranteed? Has he SAID that? Is he even acting like he's still trying to get Mexico to pay for it? No. He won't even say what his plan is to get the money from them through other means. He just throws different ideas out there at different times. Remittances will not come close to $25 billion. The new NAFTA plan? What a joke. It wouldn't come close, and if you think he would earmark the tariff revenue for it, you're a fool. Think about it this way - If he was trying to get a bank loan based on his bs ideas, they'd laugh him right out the door. He doesn't even have a plan...for ANYTHING, not just this wall. He doesn't plan anything.

  7165. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they gas their own people?" It's because they don't consider them their own, or even people at all. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy and for cutting unemployment in half, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. Devoid of any class or respect, he bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) I guess, to Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrannical monarch. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news" Washington Post? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" Trump actually considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election to install Trump as President. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump is a traitor, loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed miserably with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you FOX News junkies and Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. You Russian trolls already know. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

The advisory board consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, and was lead by a Republican. The US State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, was simply one of them. 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.

  7172. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  7175. Trump dangled pardons for DHS staff who broke eminent domain laws. When caught, he said he was kidding. He said he was being "sarcastic" when he asked Russia to dig up dirt on Clinton. Sarcasm. Right, as if he meant the opposite. As if he would just up and say, "Russia, definitely DON'T hack my opponent," while he knew Russia was trying to help him win. Right. And then, we found out that his top people were meeting with them to...(drumroll).., get dirt on Clinton. Then, he just happened to ask China and Ukraine for help, and, whatdya know, took the position that it's OKAY to take foreign election help.

  7182. Is there anything the dumbest of right-wing internet trolls will say that Republican lawmakers won't say now? Is there any difference between what American Trump fans say and what paid, Russian trolls say online? There are no more lines, because the only way to make their ridiculous arguments and absurd conspiracy theories work is to gain strength in numbers. Now, we've got millions of misinformed, angry Americans out there ready to go to civil war over lies. I'm a center-left liberal. I used to see conservatives as people with differing ideas who at least had the country's best interests at heart and provided balance. They kept Dems in check. Now, there's no line they won't cross. They can't see past their noses, and can't admit when their ideas and policies are anything less than perfect. They won't respect their opposition. I never thought I'd see the day a US President would use the phrases, "Lamestream media" and "Injustice Department". Republicans are on the wrong side of EVERYTHING to me now. Even when their stated principles are noble, they apply them to situations where they're inappropriate. It's all red herrings, hypocrisy, projection, and a perpetual war footing. I didn't like W Bush, but I never worried that he'd usher-in some existential disaster. I'm truly worried that Republicans are doing just that. And before you right-wingers say, "What about the Dems ushering-in communism?" THEY AREN'T. Period. You just refuse to live in the real world.

Selfish individuals, partisan politicians, a media heavy on human interest pieces and short on helpful facts, a CDC and NIH that did Trump's bidding, and advertisers begging everyone to "get out there and buy our products and services" while we were trying to keep people inside for a while. At least I have some sympathy for the companies that advertised like that because their livelihoods were at stake, but still, everyone screwed up.

With no evidence, in defiance of common sense, they assert that 98% are funded by special interests, but they believe the tiny fraction who are known to work for the oil and coal lobbies. (face palm). Since Trump took office, I have whiplash and a nasty bruise on my forehead.

  7204. 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.

  7213. BLM is protesting a REAL injustice. They feel they have no other recourse because the police departments and the courts have been failing them REPEATEDLY. Neither BLM nor any politicians called upon them to riot, and despite the talking points, those who crossed the line from protest to riot were pursued by law enforcement. 93% of the protests have been peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% did not riot. And the idea that they're all Democrats or even the type of people who know anything about politics is absurd. Does anyone think those thugs were looting, throwing bricks through windows, then meeting up later at Starbucks to discuss the topics on Meet the Press? The Trump mob was decidedly partisan, and acted on a LIE. Besides many recounts, audits and investigations, the courts ruled on the matter. When the mob attacked, they interrupted senators doing exactly what they wanted - objecting to the certification! Pence literally could not unilaterally stop certification. For Trump to say that he could was an outright LIE, and he did call upon them to riot. The MAGA crowd refuses to see the difference because they simply refuse to accept the truth. I post often on these comment boards, and NOT ONE person has been able to tell me just how this supposed fraud was carried out. Not one. If they'd simply learn how voting machines work and how elections are tallied, they would see how irrational and ridiculous their conspiracy theories are.

"Enemy of the people" is a phrase coined by Joseph Stalin, and the US PRESIDENT uses it! Hey, cult 45 members, do you realize how Trump has used the media? He called a show pretending to be someone else. He planted stories in the National Enquirer, and then referred to it to sow suspicion that Ted Cruz' father was in on the Kennedy assassination. He said the Enquirer should get the Pulitzer Prize. Trump paid for fake online polls. He paid people $50 each to attend his first campaign rally. And Trumpers say "fake news", and claim Soros pays crisis actors! My God, man, what the hell is wrong with these people?!?!

  7223. Remark Able - The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.6 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're advanced enough to design spacecraft versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

Can't impeach a sitting POTUS, elected under questionable circumstances who has his finger on the button, but an elder statesman, former US Senator, successful two-term POTUS who left with high approval ratings, (nicknamed "No Drama Obama", not "Don the Con"), should be thrown in Gitmo for "crimes" you people only really started bitching about after a special council started showing how your guy is a shady, lying bastard - under a cloud of suspicion, for good reason, that he colluded with a foreign adversary to get the job? What a hypocritical double standard!

I think it's hilarious that Giuliani is basically sabotaging Trump's defense, but Trump can't really get rid of him because he has canned so many people, I don't think he can stand the optics of any more turnover, be it with his White House staff or his lawyers. By the way, Trump looks pretty desperate considering he hasn't been charged with a crime yet.

  7244. If what Trump has been doing isn't obstruction of justice, what is? If the Trump campaign, (with Carter Page having been recruited by Russian spies, Manafort being a Putin tool, and Flynn on the RT payroll), didn't need to have an informant check it out, when would that be appropriate? And if this whole case, with its inherent conflicts of interest, didn't require a special council from the very beginning, what would?

Biden was a longtime Senator and VP to a successful president, and has the most name recognition. Naturally, he will be a frontrunner. And asking "who?" is far from stupid, because half the time, these people in the comments think it's CNN who is "pushing" him. I'm just guessing here, but your screen name suggests you have no plans to support a Democrat, right? It makes sense that Trump followers and right wingers would complain about Bernie being "screwed" because it sows division among Democrats. Sure, they'll act like they might have voted for Bernie if given the chance, but imagine if Bernie had won the 2016 primary. Overnight, he would be demonized as a socialist, and anti-Semitic memes would appear everywhere.

  7251. It is time to legalize marijuana on the federal level. Bernie Sanders said he would have done it by executive order. Joe Biden should pledge to do the same. - It would be lots of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. Money going into the treasury instead of going into the Mexican black market. - We import tons of crappy weed from Mexico, where they spray it with pesticides banned in the US due to their toxicity. We could export some of the best buds in the world. - It would free up space in the prisons and jails, and free up resources in the police department. - Growers and retailers could put their money in the bank. - Work absenteeism costs billions a year. Marijuana is a great, natural sleep aid. When weed is accessible, drinkers drink less. They toke up and fall asleep instead of continuing to drink, staying up, and waking up hungover and sleep deprived. - Marijuana treats a variety of ailments such as cancer, migraines, and chronic stress. - The food industry, hard hit by COVID 19, would boom. - Weed makes dumb sitcoms funny. - Marijuana is perfectly legal in North Korea. Do we want to be less free and progressive than North Korea?

  7252. Once again, Trump attacked the free press as "fake news" over one of his own fuck-ups. He tweeted that he called Tim Cook "Tim Apple" to save time. That is an obvious lie. It was a gaffe. It was no big deal. But he couldn't just admit that because he is an habitual liar. He casually lies about anything, big or small. Some say the press looks for any little reason to "attack" him. But that's not it. It was about his inability to even try to get anything right. He doesn't even try to speak clearly or learn what words mean. He has the nerve to blame others for misunderstanding him because of HIS OWN inability to speak English. Then, he has the nerve to lie about it! Remember when he OBVIOUSLY took the side of Putin over the CIA in Helsinki? Then, he tried to say he meant the opposite, and that he simply goofed by saying "I don't see why it WOULD be Russia" who attacked our election, when he meant to say WOULDN'T. Could that be more obvious bullshit?? But then, he had the balls to blame the media for misunderstanding him!! Wake up, people. This isn't a matter of all politicians being liars. Trump is an extreme pathological liar, and that, alone, should be enough to impeach him. Do any of you Trump supporters have the balls to say you would be okay with it if Obama acted like him?

  7260. Watching the Trump presidency is like watching Jerry Springer. I know it will always be the same mind-numbingly stupid crap. Sometimes it's kind of funny, but it just shows how stupid our society has become. I sure couldn't stand to watch it more than once in a blue moon, but his loyal fan base can't get enough. It's the same with those ridiculous reality game shows like The Apprentice. I never once watched it, and I was only even aware of it from skipping past it with the remote control. Did his followers watch it every day and never get sick of it?

  7261. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

  7262. ... Don't get me wrong. I know they conspired, and I'm glad that reasonable people see that. The unreasonable, like Trump and his followers, are the ones who put forth that "They're alleging collusion, and that's not a crime" bullshit. November 6th, vote blue across the board.

He's still calling everything a hoax (that he can never explain). Still says everyone is lying but him. He couldn't last a week working at McDonald's, and you think he's qualified to be president?

  7270. cessna caravan - The Mueller report absolutely did NOT say there was no collusion, and it details 10 instances of obstruction. Trump was not charged with the crime of conspiracy. The only time the word "collusion" was even used was in a reference. It is not a crime statute. Collusion is cooperation, and I posted a big 'ole list of PROVEN, UNCONTESTED facts that show all kinds of cooperation with the Russians. If Clinton or Obama did a fraction of those things, you Trump defenders would have a fit, and you know it. If you don't know the simple fact that Mueller did not say there was no collusion or obstruction, you shouldn't even be commenting about it.
    2
  7271. cessna caravan - WTF are you talking about? I pointed out that, unlike all presidents since Nixon, Trump refuses to release his tax returns, and he is obviously lying about the reason. They could show that he had no financial deals in Russia. He lied about that, too. See Trump Tower Moscow. That was a major conflict interest, and it left him open to blackmail, because the Russians knew he was lying to the country.

  7281. BIG POPPA - Imagine that. The President getting criticism. That douchebag can't even take a parody on SNL. He's in the wrong business.

  7282. How long can someone say "Everyone is lying but me", and "Everyone just hates me and they're out to get me" before people just stop listening to their bullshit? Obviously, Trump might be able to get away with it for a whole 4 year term, but what if he gets re-elected, and his base gets sick of him in year 5? Remember, GW Bush got re-elected, then left office with a 28% approval rating. Republicans started acting like he never existed.
    2
  7283. It's crazy for Trumpers to blame the media for divisions in America since 2016. Reporting on conflict is a big part of their JOB. Did Trump expect them to bow to him as he chanted the Stalin term, "enemy of the people"? I thought he was supposed to be good at playing the media? It's wrong to steal cars, but do you park one in the dark in a bad neighborhood? He NEVER reached across the aisle. He treated half the country as an enemy. It's why he never broke 50% approval. He coordinated with FOX News' divisive rhetoric, blamed blue states for their crisis, repeated Russian propaganda, slammed his predecessors, insulted allies, used terms such as "alien" and "kung flu", balked at the idea of compromise, and stoked a civil war within his party for which Republicans are now desperate to blame Democrats. Trump is CLEARLY the most divisive figure in American history, and Republicans fully embraced him.

  7284. Sure, it was a big studio production with pyrotechnics, a CNN crew that never spills the beans, and hundreds of people in the neighborhood, and family members and firefighters all keeping a story straight. That's all CNN really does. They sit around a studio watching other news to know what to fake. There is a world out there where shit happens, morons!

  7285. There was the MAGA bomber, the Coast Guard nationalist, the guy threatening a newspaper, calling them "enemy of the people", who was stockpiling weapons. The Charlottsville attacker was a right-winger. So was the "pizzagate" shooter. The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wing fringe groups. Hate crimes done in the name of right wing causes are sharply on the rise since Trump took office. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. I'm not saying both sides don't have fringe elements. But it is RIDICULOUS for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.

  7286. Nemo Krada - What convinced you? All the "winning"? All of the truth telling? Did you find him to be more dignified, intelligent, and patriot than Obama and Clinton? His maturity? His sound, strong foreign policy? His unique ability to unite the country?
    2
  7287. Google some fact checks. You didn't get sll of those things. Like most Trump supporters, you haven't paid attention since election day. You just assume he did do what he said he would - Most of which are bad ideas in the first place.

  7288. Big city crime isn't due to Democratic leaders. What an absurd argument. It's population density. People in big cities tend to vote for Democrats because they're BETTER at handling big city problems. MANY factors contribute to urban crime, and cities aren't "ruled" by Dems just because the CURRENT mayor is one. It's not like a Democrat gets elected and the city goes to hell overnight.

  7289. Maybe himself and a dozen campaign staffers reaching out to, having meetings with, and lying about their Russian contacts is who are to blame.

  7290. Trump's presidency will not end well. I'd say there is about a 55% chance he'll be forced to resign, a 40% chance he'll be impeached, and a 5% chance he'll be removed via the 25th Amendment. (Steve Bannon gives him a much higher chance of that). If he's impeached, I'd say there's a 30% chance he'll beat it. I'm worried he'll suppress the impending Mueller Report by replacing Sessions and/or Rosenstein with a loyalist. But if he beats impeachment, Republicans will almost certainly put up a primary challenger. If, somehow, he actually gets a second term, he'll have a snowball's chance in hell of finishing it out. By year 5, his approval rating will be below 25%, and he'll drown in scandal.
    2
  7291. There are big differences between the Bill Clinton and Donald Trump probes. Trump is outraged that his campaign is being investigated, and has tried to stop it at every turn. Clinton, himself, appointed Ken Starr. Trump is complaining about bias with every top level Republican at the DOJ. He is being investigated by members of his own party. Ken Starr was a member of the opposing party. The Mueller probe, at base, is about Russian meddling - something that would be foolish to not look into. The Starr probe was about a land deal in Arkansas. It turned-up nothing. Then it became about Clinton's private sex life.
    2
  7292. this guy - So, donating to charity means he can't be impartial? Trump is lucky Mueller, Rosenstein, and McCabe are Republicans. Ken Starr was a Republican while Clinton was a Democrat, but I didn't hear the Dems raising hell about that. Bill Clinton APPOINTED Ken Starr.
    2
  7293. The Clinton Foundation is a high profile, high-rated charity started by a FORMER PRESIDENT and FIRST LADY. Elder statespeople. And it has been investigated before. Nothing ever found. No matter how much you morons point fingers at it and cry foul, that doesn't make it crooked. Wanna see a crooked charity? Look at the Trump Foundation. Trump "donated" $25k to Florida AG, Pam Bondi when she was to decide whether to persue the Trump University lawsuit. AND DID IT WITH TRUMP FOUNDATION FUNDS! Go ahead, look it up. Look up Eric Trump's foundation, too.

  7294. Hate Love - Serious consequences like an unwanted pregnancy. That's for life, over a misdemeanor. She was only 17. And they don't get "special" treatment. They get equal civil rights under the law. But I see you refer to them as "aliens", so I doubt you'd understand.

  7295. Anyone else frustrated that George Santos was rightly, promptly run out of office for being an HABITUAL LIAR, but an even bigger HABITUAL LIAR gets away with it? Media, Dems, stop playing Wack-A-Mole with each individual lie. Make the narrative that TRUMP ALWAYS LIES!

The facts have been skewed beyond recognition. And just like Uranium One, the person being implicated had little or nothing to do with it, and there was no outrage at the time. Then they run for president, and instantly, it becomes this huge thing.

  7302. Tom Cody - Why don't you all chip in and pay for the wall? Then, I'll laugh when there's a major fight between the border residents and Trump when he tries to take their houses using eminent domain laws. That's right, even in those red districts, the residents oppose the wall.
    2
  7303. I know it's starting to seem normal, but Trump is OPENLY conspiring with members of the Ukrainian government to get re-elected! When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.
    2
  7304. BLM is protesting a REAL injustice. They feel they have no other recourse because the police departments and the courts have been failing them REPEATEDLY. Neither BLM nor any politicians called upon them to riot, and despite the talking points, those who crossed the line from protest to riot were pursued by law enforcement. 93% of the protests have been peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% did not riot. And the idea that they're all Democrats or even the type of people who know anything about politics is absurd. Does anyone think those thugs were looting merchandise, then meeting up later at Starbucks to discuss the topics on Meet the Press? The Trump mob was decidedly partisan, and acted on a LIE. Besides many recounts, audits and investigations, the courts ruled on the matter. When the mob attacked, they interrupted senators doing exactly what they wanted - objecting to the certification! Pence literally could not unilaterally stop certification. For Trump to say that he could was an outright LIE, and he did call upon them to riot. The MAGA crowd refuses to see the difference because they simply refuse to accept the truth. I post often on these comment boards, and NOT ONE person has been able to tell me just how this supposed fraud was carried out. Not one. If they'd simply learn how voting machines work and how elections are tallied, they would see how irrational and ridiculous their conspiracy theories are. For those who actually want to know, here it is, in great detail: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwld6Ly5TVs

  7305. If there is bias in the FBI, (Having political opinions does not equal bias), it would also have to be proven that the investigation was compromised by the bias. Just because an agent is biased doesn't mean they're going to fabricate fake evidence or ignore real evidence. That's the kind of thing to argue at trial - not as a pre-emptive matter. Mueller and Rosenstein are Republicans. McCabe is a Republican. (Bill Clinton's special council, Ken Starr - who Clinton, himself, signed-off on - was a Republican). Trump appointed Rosenstein and considered Mueller for FBI Director. James Comey is an independent who used to be a Republican. Comey hurt Clinton's chances by 3 percentage points by announcing his reopening of the email probe right before the election, (over what were obviously going to be found to be duplicate emails - and they were), and did not mention that they were also looking into possible Trump camp/Russia collusion. Sure looks to me like the FBI has been more than fair to Trump.

  7311. Opinions do not factor into a Google search. It's popularity. Does "Trump news" imply anything negative or positive? Duh.

  7312. I didn't like G.W. Bush's policies. I don't like Trump at all - policies or personality. Bush was the one people "wanted to have a beer with". Trump doesn't drink, but I'd have to drink to sit and listen to him. Other presidents tried to please everyone while knowing they couldn't. Trump likes to make his opponents miserable. If you didn't vote for him, he hates you. Bush made bad decisions, but wasn't unfit and unqualified. Others saw success as doing a good job. Trump thinks it was GETTING the job. They've all been arrogant, but Trump thinks he was somehow born wise. They've all lied, but Trump is an habitual liar who doesn't care what the truth is. While others would pride themselves on preparation and education, Trump feels inadequate if he has to prepare or doesn't know something. He is a true narcissist and a vengeful sociopath.
    2
  7313. It's amazing how two people so different could get elected to the same position back to back - and how many who voted for Obama turned around and voted for Trump. Listen to this interview - thoughtful, articulate, and selfless. Then think about a Trump interview. "I'm the greatest ever. Me, me, me. They're the worst ever. They hate you and want to destroy you." The politics of grievance. Everyone is mad and frustrated about something, often mad and frustrated at themselves. Trump just gave his following an excuse to take it out on "the others among you, the liberals," and said "I'm the only thing that stands between you and certain doom." Effective for winning elections. Horrible for governing once they win.

  7314. Poll the country on the job where you get the most criticism, and POTUS would be the top answer. "I get attacked all the time," says our insulting, vengeful, childish, whiney little lying bitch of a leader. He acts like he never saw the news before. The media is doing EXACTLY what they would do with ANY president who acts like him. He whines about SNL, for Christ's sake! He wants to be a rebel? To be different? Then what the fuck does he expect? 92% of his coverage is negative because 92% of what he does and says is negative! He's a "counter-puncher"? Give me a fucking break. He's just a "puncher". He only serves his base. That's polarizing, so over half the country isn't going to agree that the "good things" he does are actually good things. Just because he sees no need to be presidential (aka mature), doesn't mean the country doesn't need it. He's got some damn nerve bitching about the "dishonest" media. He's a proven habitual liar! Does he EVER specify what the media is actually "lying" about? Hell no! It never ceases to amaze me, not only what his base now considers acceptable in a leader, but also how HYPOCRITICAL his followers are! "What about Hillary?!" What about her? She isn't President, and EVERYTHING he accuses the Clintons of, he is accused of himself - to a much greater degree! Crooked charity? Check. Election fraud? Check. Security breaches? Check. Sex crimes? Check. Inciting incivility? Mega check! Lying? Holy shit - Super duper megacheck! Trump and his followers need to grow the fuck up!

  7326.  @philymc2801  It is being investigated. By the same token, do you think Trump blatantly lying about Covid, re-routing CDC stats through the White House to re-word guidelines, and making false accusations about health officials should NOT have been investigated? Do you think THIS didn't call for the investigation that Trump called a treasonous witch hunt? : - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  7332.  @johnpatrick1647  Wrong. Western intelligence used an undercover agent to look into the incident with the Australian. I don't even think the Russian lawyer had ties to Fusion GPS. But lets say she did - would it matter? Trump Jr, Manafort, and Kushner were willing. If that was bait, they ate it hook, line and sinker...but that's bs anyway, because Trump associates were reaching out to Russia left and right. The Trump Tower meeting was far from an isolated incident. Trump lying about Trump Tower MOSCOW was enough to arouse suspicion. Do you realize the conflict of interest and potential for blackmail inherent in even just that one thing?

  7333. The deep state is made up of only Democrats, even in non-political agencies like the FBI and CIA. Half of them registered as Republicans years ago to go undetected. The deep state is all-powerful, but they let Republicans win elections half the time, so as not to arouse suspicion. They wanted Hillary to succeed Obama in 2016. They didn't think they'd have to do anything but let her run and win. But the deep state didn't count on Donald Trump. Even though Clinton had a 94% chance, they had an "insurance policy". If she lost, they were ready to activate operatives in the FBI, CIA, DNI, DHS, NSA, the White House, the liberal media in the US and Europe, Facebook, military intelligence, Australian intelligence, British intelligence, private digital forensics firms, and about a dozen other agencies. They forged reports, intelligence intercepts, and wire transfers, careful not to arouse the suspicion of Republicans around them. Even though these agencies weren't allowed to ask what their employees' personal party affiliation was, they found out which ones were Democrats. And if they were Democrats, they were loyal to the deep state. Here was the plan: Even though it might cause Clinton to lose, they leaked all of the DNC's emails. Why? So that, even with a 6% chance, if Trump won, the deep state could frame Trump for colluding with Russia to make him look illegitimate. They paid an opposition research firm to compile a fake dossier full of dirt on Trump, but they didn't use it during the campaign. Why not? I don't know. But they know why. They even got the head of the FBI to reopen Clinton's prior email scandal investigation right before the election. Why? Again, they know why. Good thing they did all of that, because Trump won! Now, all they had to do was to publicly link Trump to Russia with sham probes based on their fake intelligence. In a strange twist of fate, it turns out that 16 members of the Trump campaign had many undisclosed meetings with surrogates of the Russian government that they lied about. One involved three of them meeting with the Russians to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief, but even though Trump was reaching out to Russia and Russia was reaching out to them, everything on both ends was legitimate. That was all just a big coincidence. DO YOU PEOPLE HEAR YOURSELVES WHEN YOU SAY THIS SHIT??

  7334. Trump wrote a check off of the Trump Foundation charity account, to "donate" $25k to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, to decline to go forward with a lawsuit against his sham university. In another incident, donations were followed to a portrait of Donald Trump hanging in a country club.

  7336. Trump is very selective about what he considers a conflict of interest. Negotiating a real estate deal in Russia that needed appproval from Putin, who was actively attacking our election to help him win? Nah, what conflict? Who cares if Putin knew Trump was lying to the public about it? Blackmail, schmackmail. But Mueller quitting his crappy golf club years ago - what a conflict! A Republican investigating a Republican? Conflict! Because Mueller was a deep state operative working for the Democrats! But putting foreign dignitaries and lobbyists up in a hotel you own in Washington? Come on, he's just a businessman!

Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  7345. Michae Dove - You won't get an answer. Well, occasionally, you'll get a reference to a mistake CNN has made that the "fake news" parrots will wrongly call an outright lie. And you might get a link to that Youtube video about the "Top ten faked CNN stories". The video goes back almost 30 years, and literally none of the ten examples were actually faked reports.

  7346. Mike D - What if he colludes with them again? Yes, he did it before, and he says it's okay. Would you be okay with it if the Dem publicly asks Great Britain to hack the Trump campaign? What if the Dem's top people meet with the British government to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief? What if 16 of them lie about 140 contacts with the British government to solicit election help? What if they start receiving polling data and campaign updates from them? Yeah, I know youv won't answer.

  7357.  T C  That seems to be what they are IMPLYING, but they never actually say that the solution is to just open everything and ignore the pandemic. It's like how Trump is basically pushing the "herd immunity" strategy, but to actually admit that's the plan would be to open themselves up to criticism that proves that it's a terrible idea. But I also use the words "plan" and "strategy" loosely, because they don't really have a plan. They simpmy do not think it through. For Trump, it's all about the election, so simply dividing the country works for him. Of course, there's no way he has considered what will happen if he wins. What would he do then? Continue with "herd immunity"?? That means 2 million Americans would die. He would not survive politically. He'd rightfully be called a wanton mass murderer. So, what IS his plan. He has none. He loves to say, "let's see what happens," then bs his way out of the consequences, then rage against those who tried to warn and inform him. He has no business being president. I'm baffled by those who think he is competent, but I think they simply relate to him because they think in the same manner - Believe what they want to, and argue against those who challenge their beliefs, as if reality were democratic, and the idea that has the most support becomes reality.

  7358. When I was 16, I got a tailgating ticket and was convinced I didn't deserve it. My mother had to go to court with me and was livid that I argued with the judge. I was found guilty and sentenced to community service. I can't imagine if I'd told my mother, "I don't have to obey that judge. The President says so." How can anyone who refuses to accept judicial rulings be President?

  7362. I can't wait until the Senate acquits Trump, and Joe Biden goes on TV and says, "Great Britain, if you're listening, if you can find Trump's tax returns...and people are saying, there's a lot of talk about a 'pee pee tape', so Christopher Steele, if you could help...No. No, it's okay. Trump and the Republicans said this was okay".

  7365. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  7367. The heads of HHS, the Interior Department, the EPA, the DHS, and the Labor Department have been forced to resign in scandal. So did a National Security Advisor and a White House Secretary. Two Communications Directors resigned under a cloud of suspicion surrounding the Russia scandal. A Secretary of State, a Secretary of Defense, a Chief of Staff, and a UK Ambassador to the US resigned in protest of Trump. A member of Trump's legal team quit to avoid implication for potential Obstruction of Justice. A White House Counsel threatened to quit rather than fire the Special Council, then was forced out. There was a similar situation with an Attorney General. An Acting Attorney General was forced out for standing on principles. Trump's Senior Advisors, his daughter and son-in-law, have had issues with security clearances, along with over 30 others. He fired and/or forced out an FBI Director, a Deputy FBI Director, and several other high level agents at the FBI.

  7372.  @MrMeluckycharms  Oh, please. We know how Trump is. He makes everything about himself, his ratings, and his crowd sizes. His people literally lied about it ON DAY ONE. You can't take out of context that he sure ran with that ball if it was passed to him. We know in real time that he was tweeting attacks on Dems and the media for the entire trip, as soon as he boarded the plane. That's what was on his mind? He lied about Democratic officials attacking him, and had the nerve to say THEY shouldn't politicize a tragedy! "You all just hate him!" Yes, for GOOD REASONS! Do you hear yourself? Obviously, it is YOU who just hates anyone who criticizes that bastard, no matter what.

  7373.  @zainzoala1083  - You have to give them SOME privacy. Even in workplaces where there are cameras everywhere, there are none in the restroom. They should have to activate them before every stop, though. Probably not a good idea to connect to a cloud. Your statement about "Biden & his CNN media" is pure nonsense.

  7374.  @zainzoala1083  - Well, then a cover or a removable camera would essentially be the same as a switch, then wouldn't it. Your comment makes as much sense as the apostrophe you keep using with the word, "cameras."

  7381. Biden used money as leverage against the Ukrainians IN HIS CAPACITY AS VICE PRESIDENT, in the interest and for the benefit of the United States, NOT for personal gain.

  7382. Clinton won the popular vote, which is what the polls reflect. They were more accurate in 2016 than in 2020, and that was determined to be because of the way the different sides responded to polls during the pandemic. Even when the polls are less accurate, they're still pretty accurate, and rarely far from the margin of error.

  7386. I don't think it's been settled that a sitting president can't be indicted. It hasn't been taken up by the Supreme Court.

  7388. @American Patriot No, the intelligence community did their job of spying on the Russians, who were attacking our election. When they checked out the Russians, they found the Trump campaign reaching out to them. Or maybe you think non-political agencies - full of people who vote Republican - risked their careers and freedom to help an unpopular Democrat candidate who was almost sure to win. Does that make ANY sense?

  7390.  @jerrymarasco8878  - Trump solicited foreign government assistance in a US election, which is a crime. He did that with Russia, China, and Ukraine. He insists it's okay. He calls it "oppo research"...if he does it. If a Democrat hires an actual oppo research firm, he calls it treason. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction of justice. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics. - Bill Clinton was impeached over one lie about his personal life. He lied under oath, but Donald Trump refuses to go under oath, and he has lied over 13,000 times in 3 years. Compare that to Barack Obama lying 148 times in 8 years. Do the math. Is that acceptable? A president doesn't have to commit a crime to be impeached.

  7391. @American Patriot - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 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?" With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to giving military aid to Ukraine. 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. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort and candidate Trump publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, ostensibly acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump's lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case that involved bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was running for president. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - 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 infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - 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 to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform the public of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them.

  7392. @American Patriot What are you talking about? Comey and Strzok worked for the FBI, only part of which is in the intel community, and your reply has nothing to do with what I said. Intelligence consists of MANY agencies, including the CIA, NSA, military intelligence, agencies under the DHS umbrella...and everything considered intelligence is under the DNI umbrella. Those are the people who SAFEGUARD OUR ELECTIONS FROM FOREIGN INTERFERENCE. If they had NOT done so, Trump would have been complaining about THAT for the past 4 years. But I'm sure you'd be just fine with a Democrat candidate asking Russia, China, and Ukraine for help, right? If Hillary's top people had met with surrogates of the Rusdian government to get dirt on Trump?? Can you say you'd be fine with 16 OF HER PEOPLE LYING about their contacts?? Didn't think so.

  7393. Trump supporters, WAKE UP! He just pardoned the ranchers whose crimes led directly to a militia-backed armed takeover of a wildlife refuge. Gee, why do you think he did that? Remember Trump's "2nd Amendment people" remark during his campaign? When he endorsed police brutality? "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll defend you in court"? The nerve to say Maxine Waters incited violence! Trump would start a nuclear fucking war if he thought it would end the Russia probe. He has no lower limits. He understands nothing! You think he's smart?? HE WENT TO YALE, BUT CAN'T SPELL "THEY'RE" AND THINKS CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF A WORD SHOWS EMPHASIS. ALL CAPS IS HOW YOU DO THAT. He is an habitual liar! He constantly refers to "ratings" and "reviews" because he sees his job as that of a reality show host. HE IS A DANGER TO THIS COUNTRY!

  7401. Homebirth Homeschool Homestead - They hacked voter roll software.They weaponized the opposition party's emails - with the support of, if not by colluding with the candidate they were helping, himself. They used tactics they've been cultivating for decades. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it swung the election. Do you think the Russians woukd do that shit if it didn't work? This wasn't just some Russians screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted political attack by a foreign government that is trying to do us harm. Wake up.

  7406.  @extropistamy  They're supposed to push opinions. Consumers of the news are supposed to know the difference between fact and opinion. Narratives and analysis are how you make sense of the raw facts. Most of the public wouldn't understand anything they're seeing without it. This is how the sausage is made. Believe it or not, I am critical of media, just not in the areas that most media bashers are. If they suddenly had to do the work of journalists and broadcasters, they would do much of the same things for which they croticize these outlets. People need to understand this basic concept: "2+2=4" is a fact, and no opinion changes that. "The number 4 looks too much like a 9, and we should use Roman numerals" is an opinion, and has nothing to do with math.

  7407.  Calvin Parish  You call me "sheep" because you wrongly, ignorantly believe that I wouldn't share the same informed opinions expressed in the media. The Mueller Report actually did NOT return an indictment. Words like "allegedly" are SUPPOSED to be there if that's the case. Duh. You clearly don't understand much at all, but take a look at the following FACTS and tell me an investigation wasn't warranted. Tell me you would ve okay with it if it was Biden instead of Trump: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  7408.  Calvin Parish  There obviously IS outrage over it, but put it in perspective. Trump created this problem. He created a log-jam at the border because his policies obviously failed to reign-in immigration. It isn't the cages, the STRUCTURE, that is at issue. IT'S THE POLICIES, Einstein.

  7409.  Don Nwzad  CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, multiple ballot audits, recounts in every battleground state, an extremely detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly attempted to commit fraud himself. Trump's own chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed 2020 election bid. Nowhere does it say there was fraud, and it acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead over Trump. And you think he was cheated?

  7410.  Don Nwzad  Cop - "You're reporting a theft? Who do you think might have done it?" Don - "Joe and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think it was them?" Don - "Joe has more money than I do." Cop - "How much is missing?" Don - "Lots, but at least enough to make me a dollar richer than Joe. It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  7413. Democrats should run on, (and actually do something about funding and reforming) public education. 1)- It's an issue women are concerned about. After 2 years of Trump and Betsy DeVos, I think women are sick of Trump's misogyny and DeVos' incompetence. 2)- It's an issue best suited for Dems. Republicans are fond of calling teachers' unions "terrorist groups", and 3)- Isn't the fact that Trump is in office a clear sign that our education system is failing?

  7419. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times.

(Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria a day before Putin's annual press conference.

(Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event. (RT - Russia Today, aka, Russian propaganda), and made a speech disparaging US/Russia policy.

He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  7426. Tucker Carlson - Nobody mentioned Russia for years before Trump? That's bs. You haven't been paying attention. CBS has had a specific Russia analyst for years. PBS has made documentaries. Putin came to power in 1999, and has been consolidating, and getting more crooked, aggressive, and bold by the year ever since. What? Have you been stuck in the FOX bubble? And OF COURSE we started hearing more about them after Trump ran, because, DUH!, he has been raising red flags about colluding with them. He said, "Russia, if you're listening..."! Get your head out of your ass.

  7427. Trump Trolls: - Learn what socialist and globalist mean. Every government has some socialist elements, and Trump is a globalist. - Writing "libtard" and calling yourself, "Globalist Socialists Eat Cat Cock" makes you look stupid. Yeah, someone who named "Libtard Dick Butter" must really know a lot about geopolitics. If your goal is to gloat and get people to cry "liberal tears", you really miss the point of politics, and I hope you won't vote next time. Obviously, you Russian trolls can't. - "What about Obama?" is not an argument. You're CONCEDING the argument by admitting the accusation is true. It doesn't "point out hypocrisy," when the two aren't equal. Obama telling 148 lies in 8 years doesn't compare to Trump telling 7500+ in 2 years. And two wrongs don't make a right. You just look foolish. - Discrediting the source out of hand is not an argument. CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, BBC...ALL report the same FACTS and run the same top stories. It's because they are newsworthy. If you challenge a fact, be specific. If you claim bias, I hope you criticize FOX News as much, or else that makes YOU biased. Unlike the rest, FOX News doesn't compete for accuracy. It is the only right-leaning, visual outlet in the field. - Nothing Clinton or Mueller did with regard to uranium or Uranium One was illegal or treasonous. You know nothing about it. If you can post that crap, you can Google the facts. - If you believe there is a deep state, especially one run by liberals, you have no common sense, and no idea how the world works. - If you're going to respond to a "libtard" by saying, "Your stupid", learn to spell YOU'RE. It's so ironic. Nobody has perfect spelling skills. I sure don't. But why is it that Trump followers are so much worse at it? Trump can't spell "they're", "border", or "smoke". He thinks capitalizing the first letter of a word shows emphasis. It doesn't. It makes things hard to read. Scott Free is not a person. He went to the best schools, right? So, either he doesn't care to learn, and has no sense of refinement and detail, or he does it on purpose to deceive you into thinking he is "poorly educated". Neither is a good thing. Do you not see that calling his base "poorly educated" was an INSULT?

  7428. I can't speak for all liberals, but I think I share the sentiment of MOST when I say this - We want REGULATION, not ELIMINATION. We want gun control, not repeal of the 2nd Amendment. We want government to be effective and efficient. We don't want big government, and we don't want some Marxist, socialist hell. NOBODY wants "open borders". Nobody wants to "murder babies". Nobody wants higher taxes. It's absurd to say, "Liberals want crime". Yeah. We LOVE crime. We want to marry it and make babies with it. We want a multi-gendered pastor to say, "I now pronounce you Liberal and Crime." Everything isn't a slippery slope. I oppose EXTREMISM in all of its forms...I mean, MOST of its forms, because even that is extreme. MLK was a rebel, but if he was an extremist, he would have advocated for VIOLENT protest. It is EXTREME to demonize words like "progressive", "amnesty", and "liberal". Those are basically positive words that so many modern Conservatives refuse to hear. I guarantee you, MOST Liberals don't hear the word, "conservative," and treat it like the plague. I'm starting to picture Conservative fathers at a dinner table, yelling at their kid, saying, "'Liberal?!?' You will NOT use such language in this house! Go to your room!" Then, the kid says, "Damn, you don't give a shit when I say 'motherfucker' at the dinner table." Don't Trump followers realize that Republicans controlled the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court for the past 2 years? It sure seems like right-wingers think they are the oppressed majority. Have Trump folloers noticed how he speaks in superlatives? Everything is "the worst, the best, the lowest, the highest in history!" Have you noticed how he panders to EXTREMISTS? How everything seems to be either black or white to him? Look at history, and tell me when extremism has ever worked for a democracy.

  7437. Noily Pratt - The racial protests weren't partisan politics, had nothing to do with the Democratic party, and weren't instigated by lawmakers. That can't be said for the Capitol insurrection. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  7445. Dylan Mattox - Trump is adding to the debt at a higher rate than Obama. Publicly, Trump said he would eliminate the debt eight years. Privately, he said he didn't care that it was projected go up in the next eight years because "I'll be gone then".

  7459. For Trump fans saying, "What does it have to do with collusion?": With Papadopoulos, everything. With Cohen, Manafort, and Gates, it's very possible, and they're all cooperating. What Don Jr, Manafort and Kushner did in Trump Tower goes right to collusion. Best case, Don Jr ADMITTED to attempting it, and definitely lied about it. Worst case, the law will find it was, indeed, collusion, (Conspiracy), and that means also Obstruction of Justice, for him and Trump Sr, because they hatched a cover story together. (BTW, a Trump associate quit over that cover story, saying he didn't want to be part of an Obstruction case). What's more, there are other avenues - Flynn is also cooperating. What he did has everything to do with collusion. Kushner tried to trade Russian sanction relief for special financing for his associates with a sanctioned Russian bank. Then, there's Carter Page, Jeff Sessions, and Roger Stone. Questions surround the hiring and firing of Rex Tillerson that point to Russia. A Russian spy was arrested in connection to funnelling money to the Trump camp through the NRA. Reputed Russian gangster, Felix Sater, has made statements implicating Trump. There have been 78 falsely denied Russian contacts among the bunch. But forget collusion for a minute. If Trump is found to have evaded taxes, laundered money, obstructed justice, abused power, broke campaign finance laws by hiding hush money, and/or perjured himself, would that be acceptable? If you're okay with it, then you must be okay with Bill Clinton's perjury and all of the things you accuse Hillary of. If not, you are a biased hypocrite. For those who absurdly say, "Hillary colluded with the Russians", I'll point out that, if what you say she did was "collusion", then you are also saying what the Trump campaign did was collusion. The "whataboutism" makes no sense.

  7461. Consider the possibility that Trump won't be the nominee next year. Even if he isn't removed or resign in scandal, there's a lot more time for him to self destruct or for his base to simply get sick of his shit. W Bush got re-elected, but left with 28% approval. Republicans will start to notice that. There's a good chance Trump will be ousted by his own party. If his numbers take a dive early next year, they will primary him so they can keep power. They'll pull the old bait and switch, and have Dems - prepared to run against the devil they know - running against another Republican, who will have a good chance, because right-leaning independents will vote for "anyone but Trump". That's how we could wind up with Trump 2.0. A Republican who isn't a disrespectful, reckless, dumbass Twitter troll, but will have LEARNED from Trump about what they can get away with. Trump 2.0 will be just as crooked, and can get away with murder because the bar has been lowered so much.

  7462. It's such a flimsy excuse anyway. "adoptions" means SANCTIONS. That was Veselnev-whatever's pet project - the Magninsky Act. The quid pro quo was sanction relief for dirt in Clinton. Don Jr ADMITTED TO COLLUSION.

  7463. I came up with a drinking game. It's simple. Turn on FOX News. Every time one of those douchbags says "the left", the first one to say "bullshit" gets to make everyone else take a shot...but if they said "the left" in a non-derrogatory way, the one who calls bullshit has to take two shots. (That won't happen). Within ten minutes, everyone will be wasted - even the person quick with the "bullshit" calls - because they'll drink anyway. Who can take ten minutes of that shit sober?

  7464. Terry Michaels - I didn't meet with Russian government surrogates for a quid pro quo to help my dad get elected by trading dirt on his opponent for sanction relief.
    2
  7465. If Trump is innocent, when he found out Mike Flynn was talking sanction relief with the Russians behind Trump's back, why didn't he fire Flynn immediately? There was already suspicion. Why wasn't Trump super-pissed at him? (Same with Kushner, Sessions, Stone, Corsi, Page, Papadopoulos, Manafort...)
    2
  7466. People forget that the Mueller probe is about finding out what the Russians did and how to prevent it in the future. If it leads back to the Trump campaign, it is what it is. If Trump stopped the probe, the very next question on everyones' mind would be, "So... What are we doing about the Russians?" This doesn't go away. If Trump can't cooperate, never mind as a target, but as a WITNESS, then it begs the question - Shouldn't he WANT to know if someone in his camp was screwing around with the Russian government?
    2
  7467. 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.

  7470. I've never heard a candidate lie so much about their opponent. Biden is NOT in favor of defunding police, open borders, gun confiscation, or turning the US into a socialist state. Biden was a Senator for decades. He was VP during a successful administration. The notion that there will be war, anarchy in the streets, and some apocalyptic nightmare is absurd. Nor will Biden be a "puppet" of people who don't have his experience. These right-wing talking points are so far removed from reality. Trump talks like a dictator. Republicans and MAGA cultists need to wake up.

  7471. FACTS: - The overwhelming majority of protesters are not rioters. Very few rioters are ANTIFA. There are many conservative protesters. - Most liberals support the 2nd Amendment. DEMOCRATS rejected Beto O'Rourke because he wanted to confiscate guns. - Virtually NO liberals want open borders. - Very few American liberals are communist. There are TWO Democratic Socialists in all of Congress. Democrats chose Biden, a centrist, over Sanders, the Socialist. - A disease isn't inherently a political issue. The majority of states with spikes in COVID 19 have Republican governors. - There's virtually no individual voter fraud. Most times it has happened, it was done by Republican voters. Vote based on FACTS, not feelings, lies, and rumors.

  7472. Frank S - Yes, but the term "dominant strain" is misleading. The other variants don't disappear because one dominates. It's possible to be infected by two strains at once. It will become like the flu, where it is endemic and they have to regularly update the vaccine due to mutations. Viruses only want to reproduce. Making you caugh gets them around. Killing you just destroys the host. It's why viruses like Ebola and Marburg, which are extremely deadly and transmissible, "burn through" so fast. They pop up in remote locations and haven't "learned" that they'd get around better if they let the host live, but still give you symptoms like vomiting and bleeding that get them around.

  7474. Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent. She just had too much baggage.

  7477.  @Biden_for_prison  - They were armed. Being poorly planned and unsuccessful doesn't mean it wasn't an insurrection. Their stated goal was to stop the certification of the winner of a free and fair election to install the loser. That's an insurrection. So, you can only complain if it succeeds, when it's too late?? The police shouldn't investigate attempted crimes?? "So your argument is because the DMC is lying less frequently than the GOP, you side with them because it is the lesser of two evils?" YES. That's what the expression, "lesser of two evils" means! You side with one because it's not as bad as the other. And what did the DNC lie about? The Republicans lie A LOT more than the Dems. Example: False and/or misleading statements made by Obama in 8 years: 148. False and/or misleading statements made by Trump in 4 years: OVER 25,000. And Republican lawmakers keep repeating his lies.

  7480.  @bherr59  - There were obviously weapons. The police are allowed to use deadly force if someone lunges at them with a knife. Now, if you had to choose between being attacked by one person weilding a knife or 50 people, armed with a variety of weapons, what would you choose? No jury in America, nor any reasonable person would call that an unjustified shooting.
    2
  7481.  @MrMcAwolfe  - It wasn't gain of function. You should listen to what Fauci said. Republicans are trying to muddy the definition of "gain of function". Be practical. The NIH funded that lab to study those diseases in order to combat them. Demonizing the American professionals who dedicate their careers to keeping us safe is absurd. By the way, no conclusion has been reached about how the outbreak even started, and the leading theory is that it jumped species in Chinese wet markets. I think it's a foregone conclusion that we won't be funding any Chinese virology research for the foreseeable future until we straighten it out.

  7482. I still don't get why it was so bad. The c-word specifically? Is it... sexist? They're not going to say Bill Maher can't call Trump a whiney little bitch now, are they? I say, cunt and bitch aren't sexist - they're gender specific. Let's draw the line at gender, at least when it isn't overtly mysoganistic (sp?). If I'm insulting a woman, I might call her a bitch, a man, an asshole. It sounds odd the other way around. Funny how this country is getting more vulgar and more sensitive at the same time.

"covfefe" "I've always liked American wine better than French wine...even though I don't drink wine. I like the way it looks."

  7496. If Trump's wall funding was a loan from a bank, the bankers would laugh him right out the door. So, Mexico will "pay" with the increased revenue into the treasury? Fine. Trump can open an "account", and start a dedicated wall fund. Let's see how that fund does. Money from a trade surplus doesn't go into the treasury. We also need a good, HONEST, INDEPENDENT study on how much the wall will cost. $25 billion is a figure Trump pulled out of his ass. His first figure was, like, $4 billion. Trump doesn't read or research anything. He notoriously lies about numbers, and shit ALWAYS happens. Think they'll finish under budget? Think he factored-in property rights issues? Lawsuits, over eminent domain issues? Environmental concerns? LOST revenue from lost commerce due to that wall? If Trump puts OUR MONEY where HIS MOUTH is, Mexico will not end up paying for anything. By the way, a majority of Americans do not want a wall.

You know someone has already bought rights to titles. "Un-Presidented". Maybe a simple, bold title, "Trump". Too bad Oliver Stone is a Putin apologist now. This would be right up his alley.

  7501. As Trump says, White Nationalists make up a small group of people with serious problems. But it's only a RELATIVELY small group that used to be a larger group during the mid 20th Century. Their serious problems caused us very serious problems. Trump is self-interested and ignorant of history. His rhetoric is fueling the resurgence of this movement. White Nationalism is on a sharp rise since he took office. The statistics don't lie. If we're not aware of history, we're doomed to repeat it. Surely, Trump has been advised of this, but he chooses to ignore the advice because he wants every votes. He has never had even small majority support, and he is desperate for every vote. You can argue that there is Antifa on the left, but for every Antifa member, there are a hundred right-wing militants, and I haven't heard any left-wing Steve Kings in Congress defending Antifa's ideology. There are virtually ZERO racially based hate groups on the left. When they vote, all of them vote Republican. You can argue about "leftists" attacking free speech, but that's pure hypocrisy. I can point out how lawyers for that kid from Kentucky are suing the free press. Free speech only matters to them when it's convenient.

  7502. Ed S - Yes. Thank you! Exactly. When a candidate has a 90% chance, and is running against a human joke, of course people are going to stay home rather than deal with that hassle on a Tuesday evening. But all these Trump followers can say is, "Didn't Hillary have a 90% chance? Fake polls!" They're dumb as dog turds. Turnout favors Dems in the next election. That's a statistical fact. Trump's strategists know that, so we'll be seeing some fake, manufactured outage from them soon. Outrage brings more people out to vote than satisfaction. But Dems have something REAL to be outraged about. The Republicans have basically given dictatorial powers to Trump and said foreign interference in a campaign is perfectly okay. Remember in November.

  7503. Daniel Gallagher - What did they lie about?

  7504. Trump isn't looking for corruption and conspiracies. He's fishing for conspiracy THEORIES. He knows there's no dirt to dig up. He wants something to give weight to his suggestion of corruption, and 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. The hypocrisy and projection is astounding. How could the Mueller probe be a witch hunt, and the Biden and Clinton fishing expeditions not be witch hunts? How could the Steele dossier be collusion, and the Trump Tower meeting not be collusion? It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival. The Clinton email thing has been adjudicated. The 2016 election is over, and it is a FACT that the Russians interfered in Trump's favor. The Biden non-issue has been looked into by TWO prosecutors in Ukraine, not to mention it was the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for that was under suspicion, not Hunter Biden, and not his father. On the other hand, 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts during the election. Trump lied about pending deals in Moscow, in a country that was actively trying to get him elected. Trump's top people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump still refuses to admit Russia even interfered, and he's still doing all he can to lift sanctions imposed on them for that very interference. In 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to interfere, and after all of the problems that caused, he is doing it AGAIN. This isn't a "deep state" conspiracy. Trump's wounds are self-inflicted, and he is BEGGING to be probed and impeached.

  7505. Trump is the reality TV president, and reality TV is never close to reality. His base roots for him with the devotion normal people reserve for their local football team. They see Trump the same way they watch a game - It's just something to argue with their friends and co-workers about. It all comes across on a screen, and they can change the channel or click onto another site when they get bored, or God forbid, have to think too much about it. I'm afraid they won't take it seriously until the damage hits home.

If nobody saw it, Republican officials would think, "Well, we can pull a 'Weekend at Mar-a-Lago.' A lifeless Trump is better than a live Democrat, and his base is too stupid to catch on.

  7514. QUESTION: "What racist/bigoted things has Trump said?" ANSWER: His "shithole" comment. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - About how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He has repeatedly refused to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called illegal Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He condescends to black people on a regular basis. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He hired two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute - a hate group). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He nicknamed Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". His birther nonsense about Obama's birthplace. His NFL bullshit. He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites...and I'm including all forms of social bigotry here. I know the difference between a race, a religion, and a nation. Think about it - He is the president, and after being told that his actions and words are considered offensive, HE REPEATS THE SAME BEHAVIOR! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? It is reported that after his shithole comments, he is PROUD OF THEM. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms that he rejects their support?! Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! They wouldn't have to be told. A fucking tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country".??? If you aren't a bigot yourself, would you be okay with hate groups crowning you their leader??? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a lawyer couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is about PERCEPTION, and these are fair criticisms. I am Jewish. We have seen this shit before - Germany, in the 1930's!! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot WOULDN'T want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a fucking BIGOT! HE PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is OBVIOUS!

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.

  7530. Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  7538. Linda Tripp wore a wire in the White House. Ken Starr wired her up... to uncover a blow job. So, when we find out that Mueller wired-up someone in the current White House to catch a Russian plant, and Trump starts bitching and asking the Twitterverse if it was legal, we can say, "Hell yeah, it's legal. Ask Ken Starr".

  7542. Trump's Twitter feed is not news. It is the opinions of a raving bullshit artist. Wikileaks is not news. It is raw information, usually in no context, disseminated by someone who started with a noble cause, but who is now politically biased because he has been stuck in an embassy, far from home, shitting his pants all day because he is a wanted man in half of the Western world. Just like Trump, Assange is bitter about America. Trump is bitter because US banks will no longer finance him, and Assange, because the US wants to imprison him. Assange's position is at least understandable, because he isn't American. Remember when Trump said, "I love Wikileaks!" It's hypocritcal, because he also said Ed Snowden should be executed. ASSANGE HELPED SNOWDEN! But Assange should learn from Snowden, who has no delusions about what he got himself into. He made great sacrifices for his country. He doesn't blame Trump or Obama, and Obama doesn't hate him. Snowden knew the law, and knew that being that kind of whistleblower has consequences. But I digress... Wikileaks isn't news. Neither is InfoWars. Neither are any Youtube, journalist wannabe hacks who think they're Edward R. fucking Murrow because they "produce" a podcast on a laptop in their garage and bash liberals based on facts MSM did the work to uncover. These people don't have fact-checkers. They don't have editors. They don't have degrees in journalism, planes to take them to war zones, satellite feeds, experience working up the ladder from local news stations, or sources they cultivate in the White House. They don't have to worry about competing to get the story first, or even speaking proper English. SITTING THERE SEARCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS IS NOT "DOING RESEARCH"!

Roger Stone wasn't reaching out to Wikileaks? Papadopoulos didn't suggest asking the Russians for help? Sure. The Democrats made them all do all of those things at gunpoint.

  7547. Trump supporters, if you wonder why we liberals have such a distaste for Donald Trump, well, I can't speak for all liberals, but I'd bet many of us feel this way: In the words of a REPUBLICAN Senator from a state I love and spent many of my formative years, Tennessee Senator Bob Corker - "He doesn't understand the content and character of this country". I'm also a native New Yorker. So is Trump. I might remind you, he lost his home state in 2016. Another quote by a New Jersey native, Bill Maher - "He ran out of suckers in New York". I doubt Donald Trump knows why he wanted to be POTUS. He is blinded by his own narcissism, (and I suspect, an inferiority complex stemming from daddy issues). He thinks he knows everything, as if pre-ordained with wisdom - the way we think when we're 17. At 17, we think we know everything. But he never learned that isn't true. Now, he is 71, and good luck getting an old fart to change. He doesn't understand the JOB DESCRIPTION. He is a simple minded, stubborn relic of the past. As Bill Maher also said, "He's a 50s guy". His glory days were during Vietnam when his "personal Vietnam was trying not to get VD". I actually don't blame him for draft-dodging that war, but it was while another future prominent Republican didn't, and was being tortured. Now, the utter, cocky disrespect of saying, "I like guys who didn't get captured". Bill Clinton dodged the draft, but can you imagine Clinton saying that? Trump stands for nothing, and that, to me, is okay. But he doesn't know that America stands for something - or at least we're trying like hell to stand for what we say we do. That's why other countries we invade and fuck over are so willing to forgive us. He's not just selling out our treasury, but worse, our principles, because he's virtually an immature child who doesn't know any better. Obama and many others are right when they say Trump is "transactional". You see it in his "art of the deal". So, is it such a stretch to think he might be selling us out to Putin - another aging narcissist, (see 60 something year-old shirtless on a horse), who wants to restore his own country to its glory days? Such a stretch to think Trump is all in it for himself? By the way, I'd also bet he lost the war against VD. Trashing the judiciary, the FBI (with rabid personal vendettas), the CIA, football players exercising their 1st Amendment rights, immigrants (yes, he knows he's blurring the lines between legal and illegal), the free press.., I can go on... is short-sighted and unacceptable. Being POTUS, like no other job, means giving yourself up to a group of 320 million people. That's why presidents, once elected, try to govern from the center. Narcissists are not qualified. Simple minded people who see things as black and white, left and right, like a war, will divide, and then people like Putin come in and conquer. Let the Congress be partisan. POTUS is a unique position Trump does not understand. Plus, he's a fucking habitual liar. You can't trust him one bit. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

  7555. 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.

  7556. Set aside whether or not Trump wanted a riot to occur before it happened. He sure as hell wanted it to continue once it was underway. Any other president would have done his duty, immediately called in backup, and immediately told the rioters to stop. Instead, as they rioted, Trump tweeted that Mike Pence lacked courage and argued with Rep. McCarthy about calling off the mob and said, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." And the MAGA crowd still doesn't get it why we compare it to a cult. It's mind-blowing.

  7557. liberal slayer - Does it matter if the meeting was in the basement or on the roof? It was in the basement because it is a SCIF, it wasn't secret, and the Republicans were invited and given EQUAL TIME.

Imagine if Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..." Imagine if her campaign manager had offered to brief the Russians and had given them polling data. Imagine if she then denied that they even interfered, against the findings of the CIA and FBI. What if she had fired the FBI Director and said she had done it to stop a probe? You Trump followers wouldn't want an investigation?

  7564. - 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, 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 known 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, "out of the blue", Trump told FOX News he thought Montenegro might start WWIII.

Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation, a charity, has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit foward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. Sater worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

How on Earth did Trump convince the fools he's not an elitist? And by the way, also a globalist?

  7573. The Earth is constantly shifting. It's from an active core and plate tectonics. If that activity stopped, all life would die. It's what happened to Mars.

That land only exists for a blip in time.

  7574. "The Dayton shooter was a leftist who supported Elizabeth Warren. Why aren't the media reporting that?" 1)- They ARE reporting that. 2)- Warren hasn't incited violence with her rhetoric for the past three years. Despite objections and warnings from the left, and even from the FBI, Trump HAS been regularly spewing inciting rhetoric. The El Paso shooter echoed his language, and was clearly politically motivated. 3)- The SUBJECT of reports about the El Paso shooting is the El Paso shooting, not the murder rate in blue cities, the ratio of left to right wing shootings, or how to lower your cholesterol with boiled cat vomit. 4)- 78% of politically motivated mass shootings are perpetrated by right wing extremists. It's absurd to try to create an equivalency. 5)- Trump is taking fire, (no pun intended), not only because of his rhetoric, but because he is a REPUBLICAN. Right wing extremism is sharply on the rise since he took office. The GOP is notoriously in bed with the NRA. There's over 90% support for stricter gun control, (NOT confiscation). It's to be expected that Republicans will be criticized when there is yet another mass shooting.

  7577.  @usneome  The observers were present. You do realize for that "fraud" to work, they'd have to have repeated the same tactic in dozens of polling places, right? Never mind the massive ballot counterfeiting and identity theft operation that would be required, that would require finding out who actually voted to avoid using those peoples' identities (which would be exposed after the fact anyway, because election commissions keep records of who voted, where and when). You think they planned to ALL have no problem casually going to process ballots carrying boxes in with them. Sure, they just set them down next to their jackets and bottles of soda under the table, and nobody would ever ask questions. Yeah, they planned to do that right there under the security cameras. THINK, McFLY.

  7578. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  7587. - The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 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?" With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to giving military aid to Ukeaine. 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. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort and candidate Trump publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 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 involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was running for president. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - 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 infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - 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 to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - During the campaign, former National Security Advisor, convicted felon, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event.

  7592. Trump has: 1) Called NATO obsolete. 2) Refused to reaffirm Article 5. 3) Worked to lift sanctions on Russia for their election meddling and invading Ukraine. (Need I mention why Michael Flynn is in trouble?) 4) Wants to recognize their annexation of Crimea. 5) REFUSES TO ADMIT RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR ELECTION. 6) Hired, then fired Rex Tillerson when Tillerson criticized Putin. 7) Invited Lavrov and Kislysk into the Oval Office at Putin's request. 8) Suspended South Korean military exercises, (which Putin has always wanted. 9) Refuses to criticize Putin AT ALL and actually defends some of his worst deeds. 10) Congratulated Putin on his stolen election against his advisors' advice, then TOLD PUTIN THOSE ADVISORS WERE STUPID! 11) Wanted to form a joint cyber security team with Putin. 12) Changed the official US position on Assad from "he must go" to "he can stay for now"...

Damn, do you people ever say anything that isn't wholly hypocritical, nonsensical, and devoid of facts?

  7594. IMPEACH HIM! Mueller could not have been more clear. Literally, the guidelines and statutes did not allow him to be any more clear than he was. He was prohibited from indicting a sitting president, and prohibited from voicing his opinion about, or discussing subjects he didn't indict. He also made it clear that, since there was no recourse within his office, the matter must be handled by another entity - THAT MEANS YOU, CONGRESS! Their Q&A with Mueller made it absolutely clear that Trump obstructed justice many times. The Republicans did not even dispute the veracity of anything in the report. All they could do is make baseless accusations of "bias" because of what they claim was NOT in the report, and beat that dead horse about the FISA warrant and the dossier. Democrats need to impeach Trump, and immediately start enforcing ALL of those subpoenas that Barr and Trump are directing witnesses to defy.

  7602. I know it's starting to seem normal, but Trump is OPENLY conspiring with members of the Ukrainian government to get re-elected! When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

It can include oral testimony of witnesses, including experts on technical matters, documents, public records, objects, photographs and depositions (testimony under oath taken before trial). It also includes so-called "circumstantial evidence" which is intended to create belief by showing surrounding circumstances which logically lead to a conclusion of fact" .......... Sure looks like there's a lot of that to me.

  7609. To break down Trump's tweet: 1)- Trump confirms that he did, in fact, ask Barr to make a false statement. It has not been determined that Trump did nothing wrong. That's what the impeachment process is about. Barr making a statement is a gross departure from protocol. 2)- The story was not fake. Trump has no proof that the source doesn't exist. "Fake" should not be capitalized. "Anonymous" shouldn't be in quotes. It is an anonymous source. 3)- "Transcript" should not be capitalized. The transcript clearly suggests a quid pro quo, which isn't even necessary for the act to be illegal. There is much more corroborating evidence and testimony besides the transcript, anyway. 4)- If anything, the report shows that the press DOES have freedom. To say there's no press freedom is baffling nonsense. 5)- It's clearly a lie. Of course he asked Barr to make a statement. That's Trump's MO. He has done it countless times before.

  7616. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.6 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're advanced enough to design spacecraft versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  7617. Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  7618. If Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..," then asked Ukraine and China to investigate Trump, and insisted that soliciting foreign help was fair oppo research... If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

  7633. Trump's presidency will not end well. I'd say there is about a 55% chance he'll be forced to resign, a 40% chance he'll be impeached, and a 5% chance he'll be removed via the 25th Amendment. (Steve Bannon gives him a much higher chance of that). If he's impeached, I'd say there's a 30% chance he'll beat it. I'm worried he'll suppress the impending Mueller Report by replacing Sessions and/or Rosenstein with a loyalist. But if he beats impeachment, Republicans will almost certainly put up a primary challenger. If, somehow, he actually gets a second term, he'll have a snowball's chance in hell of finishing it out. By year 5, his approval rating will be below 25%, and he'll drown in scandal.

  7635. footy vids - Obama did not create ISIS. It is an Al Qaeda spinoff that grew in the power vacuum left by the Iraq war and in Syria. Obama made a mistake in letting the Iraqi president let the Shiites get revenge on the Sunnis in Mosul, which lead to the Sunnis embracing ISIS there, but there is plenty if blame to go around. Look at what Trump is doing in the region. He has effectively taken sides with the Sunnis against the Shiites by backing the Saudi assault on Yemen. ISIS and Al Qaeda are Sunni groups. So, if you blame Obama for trying to let Iraq govern itself, you should really blame Trump for taking sides as a consequence of his arms deals with Saudi Arabia.

  7641.  @justasoul1501  There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, charity fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

  7642. Giuliani told Ukraine that if they investigated Biden, "it could be a good thing for having a better relationship where we understand of each other." Now, what would helping Trump and Giuliani with their dirty election tricks have to do with their ability to understand future diplomacy between the administration and Ukraine? Obviously, it was part of Trump's ongoing efforts to extort Ukraine for dirt on Biden for the 2020 election, using the Ukraine/Russia conflict as leverage. Ukraine is under an existential threat from Russia, and the US has a huge impact on which direction it goes. They need us for military aid. We need them to not get taken over by Russia. Trump had already been impeached for that. Even the "perfect phone call" scandal had been an attempt to do the same thing he was investigated for doing with Russia in the 2016 election. Of course the MAGA crowd will gaslight and say, "Where's the proof?" as we face palm and respond, "THIS is the proof." But they know that if it was Biden instead of Trump, they'd see it how we do - as extortion - and raise hell. They're a one-trick pony. They speak in vague, cryptic language like gangsters, and use the carrot and the stick. There was the "perfect phone call." We've heard audio of the Giuliani call, the Raffensperger call, and Trump telling Cohen to commit 3 kinds of fraud to make hush payments. There are more tapes than with Nixon. I know the MAGA crowd will never face the fact that those were blatant, mafia-style attempts at extortion, but I bet that a jury would see that.

  7644. Again, Biden said something inartful and stupid, but it wasn't racist. For Trump to criticize him for being inarticulate is the mountain calling the mole hill big. Biden was asked about Venezuelan vs. Cuban Latinos. Those are different COUNTRIES. He was trying to say they have more diverse backgrounds and ideologies compared to African Americans. The key word is AMERICAN, as opposed to immigrants from different nations. The MAGA crowd CONSTANTLY tries to explain what Trump "meant" because he constantly lacks articulation, but they'll sure pounce on anything Biden says. It's ridiculous that Trump so often throws stones when he lives in a glass house. You'd think he would try like hell to avoid bringing up senility, racism, and corruption.

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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  7655. There is no way around it. If you defend Trump, you are a hypocrite at best, and you are projecting at worst. Hypocrisy is calling out others' known actions while doing the same. Projection is accusing others of what you are doing, and those you accuse aren't even doing it. Going after Joe Biden - through his son, through his son's former employer, through a closed matter, in a foreign country, is a witch hunt. It is a fishing expedition. Let this sink in - The US President asked the president of a foreign country to investigate, not just his rival, but a prominent elder US statesman. A former Senator and Vice President - and his son. With ZERO probable cause. A US President should be doing the opposite, trying to STOP an investigation by foreign governments into his citizens. But Trump's son meeting with Russians to get dirt on an opponent and 16 of his people lying about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there were NONE was NOT probable cause?? If you think Trump wasn't holding back foreign aid over this matter, you are a fool. It's right there in the transcript - "I want you to do me a favor, THOUGH". Why is Trump engaging in witch hunts after all of that complaining about witch hunts? Why did he even THINK about asking for foreign election help after all of that Russia shit? And Ukraine of all countries??

  7657. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never think.

Because when he fucks-up the whole world before you know it, I, and those like myself, will be blaming YOU. Then, you'll be bitching about "lib-turds" STILL not understanding you, but we'll be in charge again, and saying, "Of course we don't understand you. We don't speak fucking IDIOT!"

You mean to tell me the intelligence services, the FBI, the DNC, and the media are all coordinating right under everyone's noses, and nobody has exposed this? Do you mean to tell me that the CIA, FBI, NSA...non-political agencies staffed with MORE REPUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS are operating right under the noses of actual Republicans, to support one political party? And if the deep state is so powerful, why do they let Republicans win half the elections? Why did they let Republicans take the House, Senate, and White House in 2016? It makes no sense, and shows how ignorant you are about how the world works. I bet you think 9/11 was an inside job, too, huh?

But our freedom is at stake if we wear masks for a few months. Kids are going to turn out stupid and emotionally distressed if they miss a few months of school. People will turn into lonely, suicidal drug addicts if they can't go to bars for a while! Liberal BLM terrorists are creating anarchy in the streets. They have some nerve to protest a tiny problem like police brutality! But those statues are SACRED! They're socialists trying to take over.

  7671. Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  7672. You people who say "Didn't polls say Hillary was going to win?" are the BIGGEST IDIOTS on the planet. NO. Polls did NOT say that. A poll is not a prediction of an outcome. It is a percent chance of an outcome. It's absurd! Think lottery. Think weather report. Think horse racing. It's called a long shot! And those polls WERE ACCURATE! First of all, the numbers reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won. Second, they were within the margin of error. Third, ALL POLLS - CNN, FOX, Gallup... ALL were roughly the same. Do people really think ALL of these polls putting Trump around 37% are off by, what, 30 points?!?! Fourth, do any of you Trump fools think maybe the fact Trump won despite the odds may be an indicator of Russian involvemea? ... And fifth, what even would be the POINT of faking a poll? To look inaccurate in the end? Do you people think people just want to be on the winning side so much they will only vote for the most popular candidate? It doesn't make sense! And wouldn't CNN, if they were faking it, want to LOWER the number so people wouldn't think it was already a lock and NOT VOTE? Trump defenders have no common sense!

  7674. zdwade - No. The polls didn't say "landslide". Podesta's strategy was SPECIFICALLY to win by a little, and be better safe than sorry when it came to taking chances on unproven strategy. Election polls don't say ANYONE will win. It's an indicator, a percent chance. If she had polled as t 51%, would that be saying she'd win? Clinton won the popular vote. The fact that she lost makes points in the direction of Russian interference.

  7693. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.5 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're that advanced and made spacecrafts versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  7695. It doesn't even take a clairvoyant to envision it. The founders also feared America becoming a two-party system. Every election comes down to two candidates competing over a small slice of the electorate, the undecided voters. Politicians say they don't pay attention to polls, and a lot of people don't believe in their accuracy. That's bull. They are VERY accurate, down to a science, district by district, and it was just a matter of time before we had two unpopular candidates running in a popularity contest where a crooked demagogue like Trump would use foreign help to use a disinformation campaign to dupe the shallow and uneducated among us into voting with their gut for him just because he was "different". People tend to feel they have to take a position on everything, must take it immediately, and can never back off of it. That's the cult mentality we see. And with each successive war or crisis over the decades, we give the executive branch more and more power in the name of keeping us safe. No successor will give up that power when the crisis is over because, what if they need it? Best to keep it in a glass case marked "Break in case of emergency". Then, someone like Trump comes along and starts weilding that power just because he can. He abuses the power, but because of the possibility of future crisis, Justices, AGs, and proponents of executive power argue that the Presidency, not necessarily the current occupant of the office, deserve that power. Then, it gets difficult to remove the crook who is abusing it, and he abuses it to KEEP himself in power.

  7702. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico. Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

  7703. justchilaxe123 - You should sinply listen to the facts and keep it in perspective. Automatically making it about CNN or thinking fraud/mistakes are either everywhere or nowhere is not keeping it in perspective. The compartmental nature of the voting system and the absence of incentive makes indivudual fraud not much of an issue. The compartmental nature also makes it very hard to pull off some organized conspiracy. It's also what makes mistakes more possible, but also easily rectifiable.

  7705.  W.t. Bonsell  - WHO in the government lied about WHAT? Who worked with who to manipulate what to cheat? The problem is that you're stuck on general suspicion. I don't trust the government either, but you have to look into the DETAILS and know how the system works to understand what methods of cheating could be utilized. You have to eliminate things that are impossible or highly improbable to focus on the possible. Then you have to put the individual parts together to determine if there was a larger conspiracy. Think RISK VS. REWARD. --- INDIVIDUAL VOTER FRAUD - You can rule out completely because it wouldn't even come close to changing the outcome of an election. 1)- It's simply not worth it to people who aren't crazy to commit a felony - even if they're almost sure they won't get caught - just to get an extra vote in, especially in an electoral college where it almost surely wouldn't make a difference. There's no money or tangible reward involved. Most people have too much shame and dignity to take advantage of a dead relative's ballot arriving in their mailbox. Who would drive back to the town from where they recently moved on a Tuesday just to vote one more time because their name hasn't yet been purged from their former district? 2)- You'd have to be sure that the person whose identity you've stolen won't actually show up to vote or you'd run the risk of being caught. 3)- With Individual fraud, it's just as likely that the fraudster would vote Republican as it is that they'd vote Democrat, so statistically they'd cancel each other out. "Only Democrats cheat" is a ridiculous assumption. --- COORDINATED CONSPIRACY would be VERY hard to pull off. You can't just push a few buttons or plant a few operatives. You can't just point to one case of suspected ballot smuggling, a broken water pipe in one place, or the mere possibility that a mailman dumped the day's load of mail-in ballots into a river. To be effective, you'd have to recruit many people in multiple states and counties to break the law many times in multiple ways to make a difference. It would take more than just counterfeiting, just smuggling, or just hacking a machine or two. It would require an intricate plan involving professional grade counterfeiting, which would involve MASS IDENTITY THEFT from many different places that use a variety of different types of machines, ballots - each in different sizes, with different bar codes, water marks, ID numbers...Ever look closely at a ballot? They contain multiple bits of information, each with a different purpose - to identify when it was printed, where, what batch it came from...Just look at any product in the grocery store. Notice all of those different codes and numbers? Those are meant for different people along the way, just to get it from the factory to the right store. Same concept with ballots. People sign-off on steps along the way. Even the boxes they're shipped in would have to be counterfeited. Voting machines don't count multiple votes for the same registered voter, and no ballot isn't connected to a registered voter. Again, counterfeits would be exposed if the real person showed up to vote. You'd have a sharp up-tick in instances where ballots were attempted to be run twice. You'd have an up-tick in people being turned away and falsely told they've already voted. In my state, I get a letter every two years from the election board that lists every election in which I did and didn't vote. It's always correct. If there was suddenly a sharp increase in errors, there would be a sharp increase in calls to the election board from people wondering why their record is incorrect. Counterfeiting requires identity theft, which requires many people to be recruited and vetted as loyal and criminally competent. Then, you'd have to get them access - whether it's jobs at polling locations, election board offices, crooked postal carriers, hackers to steal information for the ballots or "moles" to get inside information about what goes on what size bar code stickers, what kind of paper to use...All specific to MULTIPLE states and counties. That's a LOT of people, and would take a lot of MONEY. Then, you'd have to launder the money! All of these conspiracy theorists keep pointing to that ONE box of ballots at that ONE polling location. (which turned out to simply be legitimate ballots. Now think about it - A conspiracy would have to involve many people in many locations to successfully be able to sneak-in those boxes of highly illegal counterfeit ballots. There are poll watchers. Everybody is being watched. Both sides watch the other. Supervisors monitor the floor to make sure blue and black pens aren't being used. You'd need a supervisor just to coordinate coffee and lunch breaks. Hell, they probably have rules about bringing phones, jackets and soft drinks onto the main floor. Do you think some head conspirator would hinge such a sensitive, highly illegal operation on dozens of planted poll workers being able to carry boxes of ballots from their cars into the building and onto the floor unnoticed?? Think about what it takes just to sneak unauthorized snacks in or sneak around to smoke a joint on lunch break. Would a head conspirator hinge the whole operation on being able to kick out a dozen poll watchers without protest?? One or two people get caught with a box of forged ballots and the jig is up! Major corruption scandal. If a party conspired with a foreign power, there'd be a major international incident. It's just not worth it. That's why there's something like a 0.00001% rate of election fraud. Trump acts like he's the first person to come along and point out that people might want to cheat in an election, and that before him nobody even considered the possibility. If anyone can truly debunk my explanations here or see ways around them, by all means tell me, but don't just point to individual things you think are suspicious. Don't just cherry-pick things I've detailed if you're going to neglect to explain the rest. Those are only PARTS of the whole.

But sure, when the government wants to keep a secret, they tell the press! SMH.

  7708.  @markflores40  - Actually CNN tried like hell to say good things about Trump. Ever watch Van Jones? He sure tried. They can't stand to be PERCEIVED as unbalanced. CNN likes conflict and argument. You can't say they don't book guests with opposing viewpoints. Does FOX News ever have anything good to say about Biden? By the way, would YOU have thought the same way about Biden if he did and said the same controversial things as Trump. You know very well you wouldn't excuse ANY of it. And why on Earth would the people at CNN want to say good things about Trump when he labeled them the "enemy of the people" from day one?? Did you know that term was coined by Joseph Stalin? Hey, according to Trump's philosophy, if someone hits you, you hit them back 10 times harder. Under the circumstances, CNN was very restrained. Trump even had the DOJ subpoena their phone records and had gag orders put on them. And FIX News COORDINATED with Trump. But I'm sure you'd be just fine with Biden having conversations with Andersen Cooper and the Chief Editor every night like Trump did with Hannity and Murdoch, huh?

  7709.  @markflores40  - ... What about Hunter's laptop was verified? Are there some new developments to report? Are they supposed to talk endlessly every night, conflating demonized names and multiple conspiracy theories into one big buzzword salad until they have to label themselves entertainment instead of news? I don't even watch CNN much. It's the McDonald's of news. But I watch PBS Newshour, and they report the very same facts, which are 99% accurate no matter what the opinions are. YOU are biased. YOU are regurgitating the same, old mindless right wing talking points.

  7710.  @markflores40  - That CRT talking point is nothing but a straw man constructed by the GOP and right wing media. It's one 40 year old, college level book that hardly anyone is aware of. One of those anti-CRT crusaders told Joy Reid he was happy that now people were aware of CRT because of his efforts. That's like purposely promoting sales of a book you don't want people reading just to have more fuel for the book burning.

Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  7725.  @migorpan2051  "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do. The insurrection happened, and a majority of Republican voters STILL SUPPORT HIM. How would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer?

  7728. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has a ?? (I always forget that word) Not an anagram. Not an abbreviation... what's the word? Anyway, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.

  7733.  @blaisemacpherson7637  - Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  7734.  @blaisemacpherson7637  - I'm not arguing with you. It sounds like you are asking for talking points, and I'm trying to give them to you. That whole "what about BLM and Antifa?" thing is 1)- comparing apples to oranges, and 2)- it's "whataboutism", which never makes sense to me. The best someone can do with whataboutism is to think they're ending the debate by saying "you do it too". I take issue first with the idea of " 'you' do it too," because they imply that "you" means liberals and/or Democrats. It's ridiculous for them to think the Democratic party had anything to do with it. Also, if you can't be conservative and oppose racist police brutality, what does that say about conservatives? And many of them complain about being called racist "just for being conservative." They rarely even get into the meat of the debate at all. It's all knee-jerk opposition to liberals' solutions without any regard for the actual problem. Here's an example: So many conservatives oppose mask-wearing, lockdowns, and vaccines to combat COVID. Then they want to argue about how effective those measures are, how the media "lies" to us, how we should blame the Chinese, etc. That doesn't even get near the question - What is their solution, then? They won't come out and say, "Our solution is to do nothing," but that's ostensibly what they're saying. When it comes to how to handle an insurrection, they either say, "What about BLM?" or "There was no problem. You liberals are making a big deal out of nothing." The former is just whataboutism filled with false assumptions (that the Democrats and "deep state liberal" prosecutors are letting those rioters off the hook. They aren't). The latter is just gaslighting and denial. They won't even acknowledge the problem, but we can be sure that if Trump was Biden, and Biden's lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat," they would be singing a different tune.

  7735.  @blaisemacpherson7637  - If they're trying to say the authorities didn't deal with the Floyd rioters like they did with the Capitol rioters, that's just false. There were low-level trespassers and violent vandals at both, and prosecutors don't care about politics nearly as much as having a high conviction rate. If they're trying to say it's hypocritical for Congress to investigate the Capitol but not the Floyd riots, I say that's because there isn't much to investigate with the Floyd riots. Cops kept brutalizing, people got mad,and the anger boiled over. With the Capitol, there are many questions. What were Trump, Stone, and Giuliani's roles in it? Why did it take hours to call in the guard? What on Earth was up that "quick response team" of insurrectionists that Giuliani hired to do security at a presidential rally? The president needed outside security beyond the Secret Service? Made up of the same people who were protesting? There was a level of organization in that event that just didn't exist with the Floyd riots. Those were mostly local thugs who exploited a situation. Those people don't understand or care about politics. There were Republican Congress members exhibiting some really suspicious behavior in all of that. We need answers.

  7743. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? That's bad enough. Now, add the racial element to it. - He used a classic racist trope on four ethnic minority women, telling them they should go back to their home countries. - He was extremely deceitful in that because only one of them was born, as a child, outside of the US. - Whether or not HE thinks his tweet was racist and/or wrong for other reasons, he got feedback afterward. The feedback told him that a huge number, if not a majority of people in the country he leads were offended by it. Still, he doubled down on it! - Kellyanne Conway took it even further, saying that what Trump meant by where you should go back to was the country of your ancestors! - Trump has a HISTORY of saying things just like this. When, in a normal presidency, does this kind of thing come up even once, much less a dozen times? BEFORE he was president, he was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He entered politics by going after Obama's heritage. When he announced his candidacy, he called illegal Mexicans rapists. - Leaders of race-based hate groups are praising him, and he sees NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! The FBI sees something wrong with it. - No, it isn't "just words". Those words lead to unrest and violence. Look at Nazi Germany. Trump repeats the STALIN phrase, "enemy of the people", and domestic terrorists have since used those words to threaten news organizations. - "What about Rep. Omar's antisemetic remarks"? Those remarks criticized the greed of a COUNTRY, not a religion. They were one incident, made by a freshman Congresswoman, that WERE rebuked by members of her own party. What are people who use that line saying, anyway? That bigoted statements by public officials are okay? The gaslighting and HYPOCRISY by the Republican party is astounding. Mitch McConnell's wife, just like Ilian Omar, came to the US as a child. But when asked about that, Mcconnell launced into rhetoric about the American dream - while defending Trump! I've heard Conservatives say that because Trump hired Mcconnell's wife and Ben Carson, that's proof he isn't racist. Seriously? Furthermore, if Trump ISN'T racist, he should be appalled that racists do think he is racist. If he isn't racist, shouldn't he feel terrible that so many of his statements are taken by so many of his people AS RACIST?! Oh, yeah, he doesn't see Democrats and Americans who criticize him AS his people. He has stated that by stating that they hate America "with a passion" and should leave. The hypicrisy and gaslighting from the right is RIDICULOUS. America has a history of racial problems. The 20th Century has a history of it. Racial hate crimes are on the rise sharply since Trump took office. So, to have the nerve to gaslight, and act like we have no reason for concern is absolutely disgusting. I suggest some of you Youtube Trump trolls take a look at some videos showing how Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio were describing him BEFORE Trump was elected. And I suggest you ask yourself what you would think if Hillary Clinton or a Democrat said even half of what Trump says.

(We aren't officially out of it until the day after election day). - Secretary of State Ivanka Trump. Ambassador Stephen Miller. Chief of Staff Donald Trump Jr. 2024 presidential candidate Jared Kushner. - to keep the axis of evil, Barr, McConnell, and Trump, in charge of America. - to replace Confederate statues with statues of Putin and Hitler. - to end NATO. - to end Obamacare and replace it with nothing.

  7746. Trump doesn't see past his nose. Imagine if, God forbid, his legal nonsense actually worked, and he got a second term. Then what? There would be a bunch of Biden voters infuriated that their perfectly legal votes were thrown out on BS technicalities. I know my mail-in vote was legal, on time, and by the book. I would be infuriated to know that, as Lindsey Graham wanted, my vote was discounted simply because there was a high rate of questionable signatures in my county. Then, Trump is re-inaugurated. We see light at the end of the tunnel with Biden building a team of actual, serious scientists getting ready to end this pandemic. But Trump extinguishes that light by continuing to do nothing about it except lie and complain about Democrat Governors. A newly emboldened McConnell refuses to pass an adequate relief bill. A newly emboldened Trump goes full authoritarian as Trumpers ridicule Biden for wandering in the woods, disenchanted, with Hillary Clinton. Liberal patience is GONE. Of course, when we protest, we'll be called a "mob". Trump would DEFINITELY be impeached again. For what? For SOMETHING. He is incapable of respecting the boundaries of the law. EVERY president faces fierce opposition in a second term. That steady 41% approval rating? Gone. Even the MAGA crowd would get sick of him. GW Bush left with 28% approval. Even Republicans had to admit the Iraq war was a debacle, and it wasn't because of the war alone that his numbers dropped. Trump has no interest in actually governing. He'd be rapidly aging and probably facing health problems. Even he might have a moment of clarity and realize his mortality, finding his years on Earth ticking away while he's forced to do a bunch of stuff he hates doing. He might long to escape and go enjoy his wealth while he still can. Of course, he would just refuse to do the ceremonial things and attend the "boring" meetings. He'd get especially apathetic about even trying to explain his ambiguous statements and suspicious behavior. That would lead to people turning away from him en masse. He needs to be a man for once, concede, and quit while he is ahead as much as he can be.

  7754. tadm123 - "CNN IS DESPERATE!" Yaawn. Scram, troll. Go watch FOX News.

  7755. Anyone who goes to the edge of the law the way Trump does, as a matter of practice, with his attitude, probably habitually breaks the law. He is an habitual liar. He is dumb as duck shit. He and his associates don't cover their tracks well. How is he still President? How? Is this just the slow, grinding wheels of justice? Mueller just dotting i's and crossing t's? This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't such a ridiculously, dangerously incompetent President. But EVERY SINGLE DAY, this man has done or said something outrageous. The scandals, lawsuits and indictments are piling up, and all he can answer with are conspiracy theories about the deep state and saying it's just liberal haters who can't stand that he's so successful. SERIOUSLY? Watching the news is like watching The Twilight Zone now.

  7756. One thing the Republicans are a lot better at than the Democrats is messaging. Dems suck at it. Republicans can get the Right to believe the craziest lies and parrot the most illogical nonsense. Dems have the truth on their side and don't know how to disseminate it. They say a lie can get around the world before the truth can get out of the driveway... or something akin to that. So the ignorant MAGA crowd has "Let's go Brandon!" Well, how about "IF BIDEN DID IT..?" Virtually EVERYTHING we criticized Donald Trump for, they fiercely defended. But THEY KNOW and WE ALL KNOW that if Biden had done it or Biden had said it, they would have been outraged. I've asked them that question many, many times, and NOT ONE has ever had the nerve to say they'd have been okay with Biden (or Obama or Clinton) acting exactly like Trump - habitually lying, secret meetings with Russian intelligence, lying about COVID, attempting a coup...just to name a few. There are literally THOUSANDS. What you will get is "Why are you still talking about Trump?" That's a ridiculous talking point for many reasons. Let them say that again when Trump concedes the election or when they support the January 6th Commission. IF BIDEN DID IT..? It should be on bumper stickers.

  7757. ROB R - Holy shit, you people complain that they didn't cover the nursing home story, WHICH THEY DID, and then they cover this in addition, and you complain?? Hey Einstein, it was the cover-up, not his decision about nursing homes that he's in troublrle for. Did you complain about Trump literally talking up social distance stickers frim seats at rallies he flouted local registrations to hold and 700 people died as as result? If not, STFU.
    2
  7758. Did you listen to him? First of all, Google doesn't lie or tell the truth. You obviously don't understand what Google is. If you were paying attention, he was saying Google goes by popular searches. If you call all network media except FOX News liberal, then, of course "liberal" news sites will pop up.

  7761. juan hernandez - George W. Who? Bush left with a 28% approval rating, and Republicans act like he never existed. It's okay, though. Trump will always have Twitter and will be welcome on FOX News to fling more BS about Biden.
    2
  7762. Here's why things are about to get really bad for Trump: Ask yourself, do you really think Trump had no knowledge of A) The Republican party platform language change. B) The Trump Tower meeting. C) Michael Flynn's sanction talk with Kislyak. D) Flynn talking to the FBI. E) Don Jr messaging Wikileaks. F) Papadopoulos seeking hacked emails from Russia? And there's more he has denied. Trump doesn't know who has told Mueller what. There has been an FBI counter-intelligence probe going on since summer of 2016. Even before that, key figures in the Trump campaign showed-up on the Obama administration intelligence community's radar - largely due to Australian, British, and Dutch intelligence. (Think Clinton got THEM to join-in on her "hoax", too?) Well, Don Don is going to have to go on record eventually. If he contradicts others' statements in ANY of these matters, we're going to get a glimpse into some sources and methods. He is flirting with perjury and obstruction. He isn't too bright. He is far from truthful. If he thought he wasn't even going to win the election, he probably didn't cover his tracks very well. "What did he know and when did he know it?" Remember, Clinton was impeached for Perjury about a personal matter. The first article of impeachment against Nixon was going to be Obstruction. The IC isn't going to like it too much if his stubborn tenacity keeps him from resigning because they don't want to give up sources and methods. It's all stacking-up against him.

  7763. atm1995 - Wrong. He said he spoke to Trump for 3 hours in total.

  7764.  @alanakafang6143  - The Trump Administration did not manage the election. That's done by the states. However, it was Trump's own hand-picked head of CISA who determined it was the most secure in history. Trump fired him for doing his job well and giving him good news. That's how #$!&ed-up he is.
    2
  7765. Notice the Trump re-election strategy going on. He is putting the focus on those four freshman Congresswomen. He is trying to paint them as the radical, socialist, "communist" leaders of the party. This is to exploit divisions within the party, and to take focus from the top four candidates who are RUNNING AGAINST HIM, and who are beating him in the polls. By using xenophobic and racist comments, he stirs up his base and paints his real challengers as radicals at the same time. Division between the left and right halves of the Democratic party means there are more ideas to argue. I'll take that over those lock-step, homogeneous, one-trick pony, Trump sycophant Republicans.
    2
  7766. Imagine if Obama had been consulting with Anderson Cooper every day the way Trump coordinates with FOX News. I'm sure Republicans would have been fine with that, right?

  7767. MostRobust Portfolio - Absolutely false. Get your facts straight.

  7768. dave mitchell - Yeah, Hillary launched a major conspiracy and got about a third of the illegal immigrant population to vote for her in a state she was sure to win. SMH. Do you realize what it would take to pull off something like that? 3 million fake IDs, huh? And nobody got caught? Think McFly.

  7769. Paris M - So?

  7770. Know what the dossier and the FISA warrant have in common? Neither were actually used by Dems in the campaign. That cannot be said for the DNC hacks, which, by the way, didn't even contain anything incriminating!
    2
  7771. We know Russia reached out to the Trump camp. We know the Trump camp reached out to Russia. We know a dozen or so members of the Trump camp lied about Russia, even though they say there was nothing wrong with what they did. (Then why lie?) Do Trump followers have any common sense?
    2
  7772.  @ws2228  Well, it's a stupid comment. There is absolutely no factual basis to say this is socialist propaganda. The comment itself is right wing propaganda, as it is an obvious talking point used by internet trolls, the president, and the right-wing FOX News network that LITERALLY coordinates stories with him.
    2
  7773. A lot of them didn't vote.

  7774. The fact that he called himself a stable genius means he is neither stable nor a genius.

  7775. Tom Zeman - No, they didn't, but Trump has stated that he was trying to get the crooked Ukrainians to "fight corruption". Are you really that stupid?

  7776. For what? You can't just investigate people because you don't like them.

  7777. Joseph Kasten - That's why I phrased my comment that way, because you fools insist that is our only reason. We have good reasons to hate him and want him gone. It's out there in plain sight, but you simply refuse to see it. Why do you think we compare you to cult members?

  7781. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  7782. 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.

  7793. What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? : The "shithole" comment. Saying he didn't want blacks to count his money, but wanted Jews to count it. Calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He repeatedly refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to black people. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. Think about it - He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive to many, HE REPEATS THEM! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! He shouldn't even have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader?? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is the PERCEPTION. These are fair criticisms. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a BIGOT WHO PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is OBVIOUS!
    2
  7794. Liam Porter - Yeah. Because the press never covers what the PRESIDENT of the United States does and says...especially not the ones who crave attention. Are you really that stupid?
    2
  7795. But HOW will the USMCA make Mexico pay? Trump will not accept that inevitable follow-up question. Reporters need to ask THAT question after Trump tries to move on past the subject. They should have helped this reporter out.
    2
  7796. Born In Shithole Country - It's ironic how you contantly call people stupid. I mean, just your screen name alone...Nobody with a quasi-political screen name and a picture like that ever knows a damn thing about government or media. If you aren't a Russian troll, you're worse. All day on Youtube - on the news videos! Youtube has lots of videos on lots of subjects, you know. And you idiots are always Trump followers. Why is that? If you're Russian, I can't really blame you. Sorry about YOUR shithole country. But if you do this as a free-thinking American, you are fucking pathetic.

  7797. Giuliani has been manufacturing "dirt" on Biden with pro-Russian Ukrainians. He wants a crooked government to do a crooked investigation on a US citizen abd elder statesman, and have him extradited and thrown in a Ukrainian prison.

  7799. Exactly. Let's say Dave wants Hannah dead because she is his rival. Vince also wants Hannah dead. They are also rivals, plus Vince really hates her. Dave shoots at Hannah, but misses. Then, Hannah winds up shot dead anyway. The cops question Dave, who says he barely knows Vince. The cops find out that Dave not only knew Vince, but had been talking to him a lot around the time of the murder. Then, Dave starts doing Vince a lot of favors. Should the cops have investigated Dave? Should they trust Dave? Should they apologize to him?
    2
  7800. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?
    2
  7801. Did the Democrats force Trump to ask for Russia to help him? Did they force his son and top people to meet with the Russians looking for dirt on Clinton? Did they force Trump to persue a real estate deal in Moscow, in a country he knew was attacking our election, and lie about it? Did they force Stone and Papadopoulos to seek Russian assistance..?

I like Bernie, but some of his ideas just suck, and it's a HORRIBLE idea to run as a socialist in this political climate. I'm SO SICK of people immediately crying conspiracy when they hear something they don't like! Get some proof or fuck off!

  7811. 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.

  7812. Classic conservatives should sue the current crop of MAGA deplorables for rights to the Republican name and the image of that elephant. The Trump wing has pretty much denounced all of its predecessors and everything they stood for. They might as well go all the way, denounce Ronald Reagan, change their name to the Orange Party and have a troll for a mascot.

  7814. Deplorable Patriot - In what universe do Clinton and Waters' comments compare to Trump's daily barrage of incitement? Get real.
    2
  7815. Both the right and left have fringe elements. Only the right has elected a President who embraces and panders to theirs. The militias are right-wing. All of the racial hate groups are on the right. The Klan and the Neo-Nazis say Trump supports them. What has he done to reject them? And every Youtube comment I've ever read calling for civil war has come from a right-winger.
    2
  7816. WASWE - If Trump wants us to believe that absurd "fighting corruption" bullshit, then maybe call the Bidens. It would be Trump's dumb ass. But Strok and Page have nothing to do with this. Neither does Schiff. Don't you see how they are conflating all of these names and incidents to confuse you into thinking it's one, big, IMPOSSIBLE "deep state" conspiracy? Are you people really that brainwashed?

  7817. They were questioned!

  7818. Blue Brick Wall - Did I say Dems don't also cater to the rich? No. I was responding to the original comment that said Dems were the party of the rich, which is ridiculous, and it is a cliche with Republicans. It's not complicated.
    2
  7819. Blue Brick Wall - And you want to call "leftstards" childish? Come up with another childish nickname. Or take a look at the whiny man-child REPUBLICAN in the White House. Read his tweets. Childish nicknames while he throws a tantrum every day.

  7827.  @benflippin5070  Are you serious? Read the Mueller report. It was MUCH more than memes, and included hacking 21 states' voter rolls, hacking polls in two Florida counties, getting polling data and campaign updates from Paul Manafort, and HACKING THE DNC. They met with Trump's people to trade dirt for sanction relief! But the point is that Trump ASKED FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO INTERFERE, AND RESISTS EFFORTS TO STOP THEM, YOU DUMB FUCK!!

  7831. Bob Blaszczak - Trump inherited low unemployment from the Obama Administration. Before COVID? So? It happened on his watch. Obama inherited the Great Recession. Do you give him credit for cutting unemployment in half? And yes, the stock market absolutely hit 30,000 on news of Biden's election.

    2
  7835. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  7836. North The Great - Hey moron, the media didn't lie. The Bush Administration lied. The media reported what they said. Are you really that stupid? Do you media bashers really not know the difference between the newscasters lying and someone going on the news and lying? SMH.

  7837. october71777 - Are you fucking stupid? Apparently you don't remember, because the so-called liberal media was doing the OPPOSITE of beating the war drum. The right wingers were calling the media unpatriotic for criticizing the REPUBLICAN president who was beating the war drum. Duh.
    2
  7838. North The Great - Are you fucking nuts? FOX News was the only major outlet with editorials Promoting that war, moron. Are you American? Are you old enough to remember? We had a Republican president who lied about the threat from Iraq, and yes, most Democrats in Congress voted for the use of force in Iraq. The media, however, was already being criticized as "liberal" by the right. Almost everybody supported the war in Afghanistan. The Taliban refused to give up bin Laden. That war was their fault.
    2
  7839. William H Music 2020 - Trump isn't corrupt? His charity was dissolved for what the NY AG calls a "shocking pattern of illegality". He used funds from his sham charity to "donate" 25k to an AG in Florida to make a lawsuit of his sham university go away. He became an unindicted co-conspirator in a felony case where he directed his attorney to commit bank fraud to launder hush money to pay a porn star for her silence, which is an FEC violation. He is the most opaque president ever, hiding White House visitor logs, transcripts of conversations with foreign adversaries, tax returns, travel records, insuguration fund spending records...He lied about business deals in Russia while Russia was attacking our election.

  7840. Doesn't Matter - No, you're reading into the media reports what isn't there. They almost all start out saying that Soleimani was a bad guy, not Trump. Trump acted RECKLESSLY. It isn't as simple as "killing a terrorist". He was a top Iranian general, and they struck him at the Iraqi International Airport. It was a MAJOR escalation that resulted in an Iranian counterstrike on our bases, again in Iraq, and caused lots of problems between us and Iraq - which plays into Iran's hands. It indirectly lead to 175 people dying in that plane. The media ACCURATELY reported that people and lawmakers are concerned about Trump's track record of impulsiveness and unwillingness to take advice. It is evident in his obvious dishonesty and lack of candor about the underlying intelligence, not to mention that he has proven now to trust intelligence services - and expect us to - only when it suits his narrative. LEARN TO LISTEN TO THE NEWS WITHOUT CONSTANTLY FOCUSING ON THEIR PERCEIVED ATTITUDE ABOUT TRUMP. When you do that, you are not listening! The media are the MESSENGERS. You don't have to agree with the editorial, but accept that the FACTS are almost always accurate. There is FACT, EDITORIAL, and ANALYSIS. They have to provide anslysis so that the viewers understand the raw facts. It seems like all you Trump supporters do is hear the attitude toward your dear leader, and tune out as soon as you hear criticism of him. IT'S THEIR JOB to criticize. It's our job as citizens to criticize. And yes, they criticize Dems and liberals, too. You folks just refuse to accept that. It's confirmation bias. YOUR BIAS, not theirs. The media don't set policy. They report on it. They analyze it. The politicians make it.

  7842.  Mo Biggims  There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.
    2
  7843.  Mo Biggims  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.
    2
  7844.  Mo Biggims  Nobody is pushing for a communist state. Period. Why did this just happen to becone an issue now? Republicans are in charge of most of the government. ALL governments, INCLUDING THE US, are somewhat socialist. It is inherent in government, itself. The US is not Cuba is not Canada, the USSR, Venezuela, or France. Your argument is pure semantics designed for fear mongering. Biden was VP and a long term Senator. Did the US turn into Cuba? We chose Biden, accused of being a corporate shill, over Bernie Sanders. What do you even think will happen? Dems take back the WH and Senate, start a civil war, and try to banish the Tepublican party? It's so RIDICULOUS.

Do you realize he has filled his cabinet with lobbyists? That's something he promised not to do.

  7848. I got my first Moderna shot simply by walking into Kroger. I didn't even need to make an appointment. At least those who don't want it are making it easier for those who do. CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens should offer a small gift card for their stores for those who get vaccinated there. People love stuff like that. They get business. We get public health. But their websites and phone systems are convoluted and vague. They make it hard to SEARCH BY LOCATION. It's no wonder so many people give up just to avoid the hassle. Maybe they think they have to wait all day at a mass vaccination site or arrange their schedules to fit the available time slots. They don't.

  7849. Republicans hate change. Being conservative is one thing. Denying the future is another. They reflexively resist clean energy, ethnic diversity, pot legalization, health care reform, and progress with Cuba and Iran. They only care about the next election, even if it means feeding BS to their base that leaves their extremists festering with anger like time bombs. They're stuck on an 18th century militia model of gun rights, as if the Brits are going to invade or as if they'd stand a chance if the US military turned its high-tech weapons and robot soldiers on them. They don't want the minimum wage to keep up with inflation. They want a 2000 year old religion to influence the government. Their last President was a 50's man who liked Sinatra and wanted the wife to have dinner on the table when he got home. You don't have to be a progressive to progress.

They're dying to have Clinton run again. If it wouldn't screw up the primary for those who have a chance, I'd say do it, just to divert Republican attention.

  7856. You people don't understand what went on with the DNC. They were broke. They were in no position to properly support anyone. Clinton bailed them out, and rightfully so, wanted some control over how they ran things. The agreement was that her control would be limited in the PRIMARY, not the general election, because obviously she might be able to bias the DNC towards herself and disadvantage Sanders. She saved the DNC, giving WHOEVER had won the primary - Sanders or herself - the normal, fighting chance to win the general election. If she hadn't bailed them out, Sanders probably would have lost against Trump. Any rigging that was done in the PRIMARY is in the details of scheduling debates and funding (with Clinton's own money) during the primary. Clinton may have crossed some lines there. Those details have not even been reported by FOX News, and you "See, Clinton, not Trump rigged the election!" parrots are absurd. It's not a binary thing. What Clinton did within her party was not illegal and has NOTHING to do with Trump rigging the ACTUAL GENERAL ELECTION with Russia, which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. Trump saying the Justice Department has ANY right to investigate is absurd. A party can do whatever it wants. The DNC could've named Pit Bull as its candidate. The RNC had every right to sell the nomination to Ted Nugent if they wanted. I really doubt any of you "What about Hillary!" idiots even care about the details or the truth. You hear Donna Brazile said "rigged", and you get a hard-on. NOTHING the Democrats may have done even starts to remotely compare to a general election campaign colluding left and right with the Russians to run a huge disinformation campaign against his own country, so GET A GRIP!

  7857. On the first seven minutes of the news, it's like they're telling us not to leave the house. Then, it's a barrage of ads telling us to "get back out there!" Then, back to the news. Well, consider the sources. The PRODUCTS the news is selling are facts. They COMPETE with other networks to sell us the most accurate facts the fastest. Advertisers serve companies who COMPETE with others in their business. Most companies aren't set up for home delivery, so they need you to "get back out there!" It's why Amazon is thriving, restaurants and bars are barely surviving, and we get mixed messages. No wonder the most consumer-driven country in the world is handling the pandemic so poorly.

  7860. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

  7882. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  7891. Fucking Democrats. Fucking politicians! Dems shouldn't be talking about how high the bar is for impeachment. They should be talking about how much EVIDENCE and VALID SUSPICION there is about Trump and his minions. They won't do that because they want to win in 2020. They want to investigate and run against a wounded Trump. That way, they avoid the hornet's nest of a messy impeachment and accusations that they removed a duly elected President. Then, they can say, "We did it fair and square for the people". Well, that's bullshit. You shouldn't cheat, but you shouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight, either. If Trump's approval drops enough, Republicans, THEMSELVES, will primary him - for the same reason they back him now - They, too, want to win in 2020. Then, Dems won't be running against the devil they know. Republicans will pull the old "bait and switch". Compared to Trump, ANY Republican who makes a little sense and doesn't lie every time they speak will look acceptable to swing voters and a public that will be EXHAUSTED with all of this shit. Trump is a lying crook, and his followers are hypocrites. I hope SDNY won't fall for the same political game that Trump played with the DOJ and the FBI - who didn't play politics. Politics played them. But if SDNY exposes Don Jr, Kushner, or even Trump himself, the House Dems will just use their findings in a political manner. They'll try to stretch it all out until the next election. Big mistake. I don't blame the media. They're far from perfect, but they always have, and always will report what's newsworthy. Dimwitted fools who call for their regulation should be careful what they wish for. 2020 may be next year, but the election is still almost half a term away. Know what's worse than a messy impeachment? A lying, crooked leadership that deserves to be removed, if not prosecuted.

  7907. Tracy Graf - Do you think Trump is working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? And ONLY Biden? Where there is not one shred of evidence of corruption? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why did Trump release the aid when the Ukrainians didn't do the investigations? Why would Ukraine hack DNC emails if they wanted Hillary to win? Why would Trump trust them to investigate themselves?

  7909.  VIII Elstaroth PaganGrinder VIII  No, being a bigot is an opinion. I specifically addressed that in my post. There is no way to "prove" someone is a bigot unless they are an actual Klan member. Seems you folks always want "proof". But every racist utterance and action I listed was made by Trump. Those are facts. Now ask yourself, if Obama or Clinton had said or done those things, would you call them bigots? You know the answer.

  7910.  VIII Elstaroth PaganGrinder VIII  Thanks for proving my point. Biden was QUOTING a racist saying the N word. So, you'll call THAT racist, but not what Trump says?!? And you obviously have Biden's "stupid bastards" comment out of context. So, that bothers you, but you're fine with what Trump said about the military? And yes, he said those things. We know that because he has said things just as bad in PUBLIC. If you can listen to what he said about John McCain and deny he called soldiers suckers abd losers, you are a fool.

  7921. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? That's bad enough. Now, add the racial element to it. - He used a classic racist trope on four ethnic minority women, telling them they should go back to their home countries. - He was extremely deceitful in that because only one of them was born, as a child, outside of the US. - Whether or not HE thinks his tweet was racist and/or wrong for other reasons, he got feedback afterward. The feedback told him that a huge number, if not a majority of people in the country he leads were offended by it. Still, he doubled down on it! - Kellyanne Conway took it even further, saying that what Trump meant by where you should go back to was the country of your ancestors! - Trump has a HISTORY of saying things just like this. When, in a normal presidency, does this kind of thing come up even once, much less a dozen times? BEFORE he was president, he was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He entered politics by going after Obama's heritage. When he announced his candidacy, he called illegal Mexicans rapists. - Leaders of race-based hate groups are praising him, and he sees NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! The FBI sees something wrong with it. - No, it isn't "just words". Those words lead to unrest and violence. Look at Nazi Germany. Trump repeats the STALIN phrase, "enemy of the people", and domestic terrorists have since used those words to threaten news organizations. - "What about Rep. Omar's antisemetic remarks"? Those remarks criticized the greed of a COUNTRY, not a religion. They were one incident, made by a freshman Congresswoman, that WERE rebuked by members of her own party. What are people who use that line saying, anyway? That bigoted statements by public officials are okay? The gaslighting and HYPOCRISY by the Republican party is astounding. Mitch McConnell's wife, just like Ilian Omar, came to the US as a child. But when asked about that, Mcconnell launced into rhetoric about the American dream - while defending Trump! I've heard Conservatives say that because Trump hired Mcconnell's wife and Ben Carson, that's proof he isn't racist. Seriously? Furthermore, if Trump ISN'T racist, he should be appalled that racists do think he is racist. If he isn't racist, shouldn't he feel terrible that so many of his statements are taken by so many of his people AS RACIST?! Oh, yeah, he doesn't see Democrats and Americans who criticize him AS his people. He has stated that by stating that they hate America "with a passion" and should leave. The hypicrisy and gaslighting from the right is RIDICULOUS. America has a history of racial problems. The 20th Century has a history of it. Racial hate crimes are on the rise sharply since Trump took office. So, to have the nerve to gaslight, and act like we have no reason for concern is absolutely disgusting. I suggest some of you Youtube Trump trolls take a look at some videos showing how Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio were describing him BEFORE Trump was elected. And I suggest you ask yourself what you would think if Hillary Clinton or a Democrat said even half of what Trump says.

  7927. Trump had his own "security" team on January 6th. It's leader was one of those who stormed the Capitol. She says she talked to the Secret Service, and said an armed "quick respond team" ten minutes away. Pipe bombs were planted at both the DNC and RNC headquarters. It only makes sense to investigate whether whoever planted the bombs was part of that "security" team. Were the bombs part of the "quick response" plan? How many of those groups coordinated together, and to what degree? It's likely there is a straight line to be drawn from the riots, through Giuliani, and right to Donald Trump.

  7938. Trump wants Barr to investigate the "oranges" of the Russia probe, which was based on very reasonable suspicion, namely, that Trump and his people LIED THEIR ASSES OFF about contacts with Russians. The Mueller probe started because Trump created REASONABLE SUSPICION by firing Comey while inexplicably refusing to hold Russia accountable for meddling in our election. Trump insists the Mueller probe was legitimate enough to exonerate him, but at the same time, an illegitimate "witch hunt". And yet, Trump wants to investigate Joe Biden, his biggest political threat, even by sending his lawyer to a foreign country for dirt, with NO REASONABLE SUSPICION WHATSOEVER. Get it, you moronic Trump cultists?? You are being played, and you are fucking hypocrites!!

  7946. We need another right-leaning network/cable news channel to compete with FOX News. Are there others? There are a lot on radio, but not TV. It would benefit both Liberals and Conservatives. I don't mean a FOX News clone, but a FACT-BASED news network with editorials and opinions that lean right about as much as CNN and MSNBC lean left, with anchors like Shep Smith and Chris Wallace. Put the Sean Hannitys and Tucker Carlsons out of business. Conservatives are not getting the truth, and my guess is they feel they have no alternatives because people like Hannity and Pirro have tricked them into believing all of the other MSM are "liberal". I can see how it happens. With all the cable and internet outlets out there, network is still going strong - especially with the older crowd, which tends to be more conservative. FOX has a lot of good programming. I imagine many conservative families leave their TVs on that one station a great deal of the time. They watch sitcoms, local FOX news, and then they hear, "Well, the left has done it again..!" and "What about Hillary?" and a bunch of right wing propaganda. To say ALL the rest are "liberal" media is ridiculous, considering there are many others - even PBS (partly government funded) and BBC (British) - that ALL report the SAME FACTS about the same obviously newsworthy topics. If you know the difference between fact and editorial, you can see that what Shep Smith reports isn't much different from CNN. Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday isn't very different from Meet the Press or PBS Newshour. FOX News gets away with their bullshit because they basically have a monopoly.

Republicans get rabid against the teachers' unions, calling them terrorist organizations and saying teachers are spoiled and whiney for wanting raises to not have to buy books and pencils out of their own pockets. And when they attack Trump, they have to veil it. Don't say "impeachment", because the Big Yam hasn't been charged with anything (YET). They should use terms like "oversight", "ethics", and "political norms". Trump will be crying, "Vote Republican or they'll impeach me!" I want their dumb, lazy, Trump-loving asses to not bother to go out and vote in some lame-ass mid-term. Democratic voters are already pretty motivated against him, but they need a little push.

  7989.  @carlk7109  Of course it's not illegal to talk to Russians. It is illegal to solicit election help from a foreign government. They met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump LIED about the real estate deal. That deal required Kremlin approval. Putin knew a US presidential candidate was lying to us. That gave him something to blackmail him with. Do you not get the gravity of this? Trump was hiding deals with a government he knew was attacking our election. But I'm sure you'd be just fine if Obama or Clinton had done that, right? There was no attempted overthrow. Would it make sense that agents across half a dozen REPUBLICAN, non-political agencies would risk their careers and freedom just to make Trump look bad in the VERY UNLIKELY event that he was to win the election? It was a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE probe. They were watching the Russians, who were attacking our election. It was their duty. And low and behold, what did they find out while watching the Russians? That Trump and his people were reaching out to them left and right, and LIED about it when caught. If what they were doing was okay, WHY LIE? But I'm sure you would have been okay with Obama doing that, right?

The advisory board consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, and was lead by a Republican. The US State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, was simply one of them. 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.

  7996.  @johnrobi0  False. When were these people even questioned after the Mueller report? And asking Russia and China, WHICH TRUMP DID PUBLICLY, sends the signal that he will be receptive to it, not condemn it like a decent American. Duh.

  7997.  @SuperSilverseeker  Oh, well, if it was the Obama justice department...So, that's how it works? You don't have to recognize a decision made by an official on the other end of the political spectrum? Oh, but wait...the FBI Director was a Republican. The top intelligence people under Obama were Republicans. The Uranium One accusations make absolutely no sense on many levels. For one thing, only Obama could have vetoed that deal. So, why didn't they try to pin it on Obama, around the time it happened instead of 5 years later? Because he wasn't running for president in 2016. Clinton was. How is that not obvious to you?

  7998.  @raymondloya175  Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

Call the White House, run it by him, and ask permission. Don Don will get an erection and say, "Yes! But don't go into detail. No analysis - about how his border control policies involve separating families, how his SCOTUS picks were just picking names from lists compiled by far-right groups, and how he inherited a good economy. It will be about four minutes of shameless praise that would make Kim Jong Un blush. Then, call him back and say, "Careful what you wish for, doucheface."

  8010. To break down Trump's tweet: 1)- Trump confirms that he did, in fact, ask Barr to make a false statement. It has not been determined that Trump did nothing wrong. That's what the impeachment process is about. Barr making a statement is a gross departure from protocol. 2)- The story was not fake. Trump has no proof that the source doesn't exist. "Fake" should not be capitalized. "Anonymous" shouldn't be in quotes. It is an anonymous source. 3)- "Transcript" should not be capitalized. The transcript clearly suggests a quid pro quo, which isn't even necessary for the act to be illegal. There is much more corroborating evidence and testimony besides the transcript, anyway. 4)- If anything, the report shows that the press DOES have freedom. To say there's no press freedom is baffling nonsense. 5)- It's clearly a lie. Of course he asked Barr to make a statement. That's Trump's MO. He has done it countless times before.

  8011. Democrat lawmakers should NOT give Trump one thin dime for a fucking wall! I don't care if they give him TWICE as much for sensible border control, but NOT FOR A WALL. Let the government shut down. Yes, we should save DACA. Yes, some compromise is good. But that wall shit will come back and bite them in the ass. Do Dems want to get blamed for giving in? Do they want Republicans asking for more next year to finish it? Do they want to be blamed when fucko uses eminent domain to take peoples' houses? Screwing-up the environment? Letting Trump off the hook for saying Mexico would pay for it? Do they want to give Trump bragging rights? Shit, he probably won't be in office in 2020, or even six months from now. "Chuck and Nancy" need to grow some fucking balls!

  8012. Within about a week's time, Donald Trump mocked a former FBI lawyer he'd been bad-mouthing for 2 years by making sex noises, verbally attacked a 16-year-old girl who is only fighting for a clean environment, and suggested that a grieving widow's deceased husband was in hell. That last one was also full of lies. He railed against keeping flags at half staff for John McCain. He attacked a Muslim, gold star mother. He mocked a handicapped journalist. These were all because those people dared to oppose him in the slightest ways. Need I explain why we, on the left, have concerns about that petty, vindictive jackass being leader of the free world?

Where there is not one shred of evidence of corruption? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help, you know, the biggest thing that has kept him in trouble from the start? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that?

  8020.  Matt manning  - You think Hillary colluded with Russia? LOL. Putin HATED her. Trump obviously colluded with Russia. Collusion means cooperation. He did that, and those were the findings of the Republican-led Senate Intel Committee.
    1
  8021.  Matt manning  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  8022. Trump wanted to send Joe Biden, a prominent American, former Senator and VP, to Ukraine - a country he acknowledged has a crooked legal system - to face manufactured charges. He ran a campaign based on locking up another political rival, a prominent former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Trump wanted to send an Ambassador to Russia from the Obama Administration to Russia so Putin could jail, and most likely torture him. I hope Trump gets the book thrown at him.

  8023.  @johnpatrick1647  - The warrant was to spy on Carter Page specifically. Again, they did not spy on the campaign. The information they gathered wasn't given to anyone. It was a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE probe. Are you saying people should be off limits just because they join a campaign? So, Trump could just collude with the Russians and the FBI had to turn a blind eye?

  8041. There's such a double standard with right wingers about what constitutes reasonable suspicion. When the target is a Democrat, everything is supposedly suspicious, and "What's the harm in investigating?" But when Trump and his people were caught meeting with Russian intelligence and reaching out to crooked Ukrainians to dig up and manufacture dirt on his opponent, get caught lying about it, and raising every eyebrow and red flag, it's "treason" to even look into it.

Know how Sondland got his job? Lev Parnas? Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani were infamously influence peddling before Trump was even elected. Trump himself said about the Saudis, "They buy my properties. I'm supposed to hate them?" He hides the White House visitor logs so people don't find out just how many lobbyists he is meeting with. You think it's just Dems??

  8045. Y B - Trump will be acquitted without any witnesses being called, and will lose in November because of it.

Don't kid yourself - the Dems are being overly cautious as usual. This impeachment and the way the Republicans have handled it will seal not only his doom, but cost the Republicans the Senate. They have produced the Dems attack ads for them. And you better hope Trump's newfound feeling of being invincible doesn't make him do something so crooked and stupid in the coming months that THEY, THEMSELVES will want to impeach him to have a chance at running another Republican for the White House. But gee, Trump would never take a light year when given an inch, would he? Your boy is fucked.

  8048.  @gsGs-xb6um  ...The Obama/Biden Administration always called-out human rights abuses by countries that want to deal with us. Why would Biden just start ignoring them now?

  8049.  @gsGs-xb6um  I told you, he did not excuse them. I'm not going to condemn him for something he did not say! YOU and all of the people pouncing on that talking point refuse to believe that Biden actually didn't excuse it. I told you: 1- It IS a culture clash there. How does saying that EXCUSE it? 2- Biden's record on holding foreign countries accountable for human rights abuses is well-established. 3- Did you excuse Trump for excusing those same camps? Because he did. 4- It defies common sense to think Biden would publicly excuse something like that. 5- Timing shows this is an obvious attempt to introduce a new talking point to build on the absurd notion that Biden is soft on China because of corruption with China. Learn to think for yourself...Or maybe you're one of the paid trolls hired to smear this garbage all over the internet?

  8050.  @gsGs-xb6um  Talk about an excuse! Trump couldn't be hard on China about concentration camps because he was already hard on them on trade?? By the way, that trade war was a joke. He kept lying by saying that they were paying for an IMPORT TARIFF that US importers paid. Did it stop intellectual property theft? Of course not. "You know this thing we won't admit we're doing. We'll stop now". And Trump made $5.6 million from China while he was president. Mr. "America First" literally had products made in China. They gave his daughter trademark deals. He asked the Chinese to dig up dirt on Biden! Do you do that with someone you are being tough on?

I'm very sure you were fed that point, and did not form that opinion on your own.

  8052.  @gsGs-xb6um  Biden on Chinese human rights abuses: "What I’m doing is making clear that we, in fact, are going to continue to reassert our role as spokespersons for human rights at the U.N. and other agencies that have an impact on their attitude.  China is trying very hard to become the world leader and to get that moniker. And to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries.  And as long as they’re engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s going to be hard for them to do that." It’s pretty clear that (1) Biden is not excusing China’s human rights abuses on the basis of the need to keep the country united, he’s saying that this is Xi’s rationale for his repressive policies; (2) his comment about “different norms” refers to the norm that requires him, as the American President, to speak out for human rights. https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

  8058. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. China's lies about COVID were bad, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

I don't see how so many people can't separate fact from opinion and analysis. People who bash the media complain about "narratives" but they don't realize that narratives are necessary to put the facts in context. I've been on local news three times in my life. Each time, the narrative was skewed, but the facts were 100% correct.

  8069.  @trevorreznik3908  I don't watch that's on my feed except for when I'm just curious. I watch CNN if I want to get breaking news during the day, but it's definitely not the cream of the crop. I like Rachel Maddow because she takes what the good, investigative reporters from print media outlets like the New York Times and WaPo report, and puts it in an historical perspective. She's unbelievably perceptive and intelligent. I don't know why CNN doesn't pick that stuff up. If they did, more people would have more information. CNN is like the McDonalds of news. It will fill you up, but it's not great. PBS Newshour is good at laying out the facts and analyzing them without a lot of hype. It's harder to accuse PBS of partisan bias because it's partly government funded. Neither party would stand for blatant partisanship there. I watch BBC because it's not based in the US, so you get a different perspective. The main thing I try to do is just take away the facts, regardless of the opinions. Opinions are supposed to be biased, but they don't change the facts. Too many people hear the TONE of a report and cry bias.

  8070.  @johnkilmartin8292  There's really no difference between a drop box and voting in person. In both cases, your ballot goes from your hand and next into the hand of a poll worker. In my state, they send you a letter around election time that tells you which elections you voted in, so you could see if someone used your identity. I voted by mail, and they sent me an email when they sent my ballot, when they received it, and checked my signature. Voting machines can't count two votes for one person any more than you can put two of anything in a case made for one. If you counterfeit a ballot perfectly or vote in someone elses' name, you'd have to know if the actual person voted or not. There is absolutely no evidence that there was any ballot harvesting. This past election was literally audited in every way possible. DOJ had no suspects and no evidence a crime was committed. CISA said it was the safest ever. 60 courts and the Supreme Court rejected Trump's claims, and his lawyers wouldn't actually argue fraud. Sidney Powell now says her claims were not to be taken as fact. Biden had a double digit lead over Trump, who NEVER HAD AN APPROVAL RATING OVER 50%. His own pollster acknowledged Biden's lead and never mentioned fraud in his "autopsy". You were lied to. Trump was voted out because he was an habitual liar who lied about a current pandemic and treated half the country like an enemy. I don't see how anyone can see him as anything but a disgusting, lying, incompetant, stupid, narcissistic, reckless person.

The POTUS is the only one who could veto the deal. You can't just bribe ONE agency. What about the EIGHT OTHERS? They all approved it, without being bribed. Not to mention, Russia can get uranium from Russia! They were prepared to enrich Iranian uranium. You folks act like we sold nukes to Al Qaeda. You are CLUELESS about this.

Let's say the Republicans want to then make it legal to shoot kids who walk on your lawn uninvited. FOX News backs them up. All of the "left wing media" talk about how crazy that is and get critical of the new Republican "egg bill". Would that be liberal bias? No. Should they give the pro-kid shooters equal time? Of course not! It's as crazy as saying intelligent design should get equal time with science in public schools. There isn't left and right wing media. There is regular media and FOX News. I am opposed to news organizations - even just the editorial staff - endorsing political candidates. I don't know why the hell they do it. But think! Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions. Everything the Republican lawmakers propose does not deserve equal coverage, and you Republican voters need to realize THEY are telling YOU what ideas to support. It isn't the other way around.

  8114. As Trump said, collusion is not a crime. Collusion is cooperation. Did Trump and his people cooperate with the Russian government? Absolutely. Volume 1 of the report is a detail of that cooperation. Mueller did not, as Trump insists, make a finding of "no collusion". Mueller did NOT say that, which means Trump is deliberately LYING. He found insufficient evidence to charge the CRIME of CONSPIRACY. He did NOT say there was no wrongdoing. He had insufficient evidence to prove INTENT. He couldn't prove that Trump and his people knew what they were doing WAS WRONG. Volume 2 details 10 instances of OBSTRUCTION. Mueller COULD NOT charge Trump with that crime because he wasn't permitted to charge a sitting president. He DID say, however, that it was a POLITICAL matter, not a LEGAL one. That's for Congress to pursue. If Congress finds enough evidence of high crimes, (Obstruction), and misdemeanors, (serious wrongdoing), the remedy would be IMPEACHMENT in the House, and REMOVAL by the Senate. Mueller CLEARLY stated that he could NOT clear Trump of obstruction. He did not say that about conspiracy. Trump is LYING when he says Mueller exonerated him. (And he can't have it both ways. If Mueller is illegitimate, how can the "exoneration" be legitimate?) Mueller didn't feel a conspiracy case could get a conviction in court. Case closed. That doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing or no collusion. It certainly does NOT mean that the investigation was illegal, treasonous, or a political witch hunt. There was OBVIOUSLY probable cause. Mueller obviously felt that an obstruction case could get a conviction in court, (Over 1000 former federal prosecutors attest to that), BUT he wasn't allowed to bring such a case. He won't explicitly say that because DOJ rules also say he can't give his opinion about persons not indicted, meaning Donald Trump. That's the mistake Comey made with Clinton, (which, by the way, HELPED Trump win. Look at the thanks he got). Democrats and, (if there are any), decent Republicans in Congress need to do their required oversight, ie., start the impeachment inquiry that Mueller has given them PROBABLE CAUSE for. I wish he would be more vocal, but Mueller has done all he can legally do. Democrats should grow balls and stop worrying about that damn election. It's almost a year and a half away. Deal with the lying, inept criminal who is in office NOW!

There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  8140. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  8147. Chaveto Jalapeno Popper - That's what they say. Turns out, Flynn lied also lied to the FBI, and Trump claims to not have known that. Flynn didn't lie to Pence because he didn't tell Pence what Pence already knew. The Trump transition was warned by the DOJ about Flynn, and Trump is trying to say his associates didn't tell him - about this and other things, like the Trump Tower meeting, the Republican platform change, and Papadopoulos' collusion with the Russians. It defies common sense.
    1
  8148. Chaveto Jalapeno Popper - What Flynn talked about with Kislyak was undermining sanctions being imposed by a sitting president. That is a violation of the Logan Act. As for the Trump Tower meeting, "adoptions" referred to the Magninsky Act, which was a sanction Russia wanted lifted. The Russian lawyer was in charge of that for the Kremlin. The quid pro quo there was that sanctions were to be lifted in exchange for dirt on Clinton. Don Jr can say nothing came from it, but a few weeks later, the DNC email dumps started. That meeting was set up early that week to happen over the weekend. Right before the weekend, Trump announced he would be making an announcement, "probably Monday", about Clinton's dirty dealings. Then there was no announcement on Monday. Why? It sure looks like Don Jr expected incriminating documents from her, but then found out the dirt would come in the form of the DNC email dumps. By the way, those dumps happened right after the RNC convention - attended by Sergey Kislyak - where the Trump campaign had platform language changed to stop favoring arming the Ukrainians against Russia. Sure looks like another quid pro quo. If that Trump Tower meeting was so unimportant, why were Russian intelligence officers there, as well as Kushner and Manafort. That doesn't make sense. Don Jr, himself, said he hated wasting 20 minutes on that meeting. "Time is money", yet 8 important figures from both sides attended? There is also the fact that Don Jr changed his story 3 times, as the media (Washington Post, I think), kept debunking his excuses. And yet so many Trump supporters say any suggestion of anything involving Clinton is suspicious and to "lock her up". But no, nothing about this Russia scandal is suspicious. Yeah, right.
    1
  8149. Chaveto Jalapeno Popper - It was during the transition. Obama was president. But Trump had already been elected, so that means Flynn had influence he could abuse. Flynn won't be charged with violating the Logan Act, though. Like his lawyer said months ago - Flynn wanted immunity because he "has a story to tell". Looks like he's telling it to Mueller. Flynn planned to kidnap a Turkish opposition leader from the US and hand him over to Erdogan. He lined-up contracts with Russian companies to build nuclear power plants in Saudi Arsbia. He took money from RT (Russian state-run media) without registering as a foreign agent. They could lock him up for life, and even lock up his son (who pushed the bs "pizzagate" story) for working with his father. A jury would not be sympathetic with Flynn. That's why he's singing like a canary.

  8151. Chaveto Jalapeno Popper - It's more than a few bad apples. His campaign was full of people colluding and trying to collude with Russia to get Trump elected. 9 of them have been proven to have lied about their Russian contacts. It is extremely abnormal for a campaign to be that focused on Russia - especially after the Russians had recently invaded Ukraine. Trump was working on a Trump Tower deal during the campaign. He lied about that. He lied about his ties to Felix Sater, who was laundering money for Russia. Flynn, Msnafort and Page were actively lobbying for Russian interests during the campaign. Flynn and Page were making speeches critical of US policy while in Russia. Manafort offered to update Putin on the campaign. Peter Smith, Don Jr, and Papadopoulos all sought dirt on Clinton from Russia. Trump refused to criticize Putin for anything. He publicly asked Russia to find Clinton's emails. He has been trying to lift sanctions from day one. All he can say is that we should get along with Russia? That's like saying we should give Kim Jong Un what he wants so we'll get along. Russian red flags are everywhere. You people really don't see that?

If it will clear up suspicions and get people off of his case about it, if it can back up his assertion that he's so transparent, why won't he release them? He won't divest his businesses. He has emoluments issues. He has honesty issues, and he is clearly lying. "He doesn't have to". What the hell is wrong with you?

He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up.

  8168. "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed". That's not true. If you watch, you are under-informed. If you confuse the NARRATIVE and EDITORIAL with the FACTS, you are misinformed. Sure, the media make mistakes, but mistakes aren't lies. I'd rather know half a story that's spun the wrong way than to know nothing. Yes, MSM is sensationalized. Yes, they use narratives to sell the story. They have to. I cringe whenever I hear "BREAKING NEWS!" about every little thing. Take it with a grain of salt. Extract the facts. Wikileaks is not news. Youtube hack videos are not news. They just talk about what MSM reports. Trump's Tweets are not news. Saying it gets him around the "fake" media is absurd. It gets him around due scrutiny. (with grammar errors no college educated man should ever make - "their" is not "they are"). FOX News isn't even news. Sean Hannity coordinates stories with Trump. And his followers say the "liberal" media is biased? FOX has no competition on TV. Competition is what keeps them honest. If CNN gets it wrong, ABC, NBC and PBS will get it right and get higher ratings. Free market Capitalists should know that. You MSM bashers are so much more biased than they are, and it's obvious.

  8169. Right wing extremists win when they convince the moderates of a false equivalence between the two political parties. I used to say, "A plane needs a right and a left wing to fly" when I didn't like what classic conservative Republicans were doing. Now I think we need to land the plane and replace the right wing before we crash and burn. I suspect many moderates and independents have heard so many lies about the Dems, the media, and the scientific community that even if they don't necessarily believe them, they still think, "Well, all politicians are always screwing us, so maybe there's SOME TRUTH to those conspiracy theories" when there simply is no truth whatsoever to them. Obviously there are rare exceptions, but those are usually the mole hills the Right will call mountains. The Republican party has simply lost its way. It doesn't have to disappear or implode if it would just replace its members with mature adults who want to solve actual problems. Republican and Independent voters, PLEASE try to see through the BS and educate yourselves on the issues before you vote. Republicans, PLEASE demand better from your elected officials. America hasn't been successful because one party was always trying to demonize and insult the other. It's been successful because of ACTUAL WORK, IDEAS, LEADERSHIP, LEGISLATION, and LAW. Not "owning the libs" or demonizing them to the point your extremists actually believe that we are trying to kill you, rape your babies and set up a communist regime in the most hyper-capitalist country on Earth.

He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama.He said every black leader of a country runs a shithole. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.

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!

  8222. Assad and Saddam gassed their own people. People ask, "How can they gas their own people?" It's because they don't consider them their own, or even people at all. Trump says the Chinese are more honorable than Chuck and Nancy. He said Putin was a better leader than Obama, a former US PRESIDENT, whose coat-tails Trump rode in on. (Did he say, "Thanks for the good economy and for cutting unemployment in half, Obama. I'll keep up the good work"? No. Devoid of any class or respect, he bashes Obama constantly. It used to be a no-no to even mention your predecessor!) I guess, to Trump, it's no big deal that Jamal Kashoggi was lured-out of his home and butchered by a tyrannical monarch. Maybe because Kashoggi was an Arab who worked for the "fake news" Washington Post? Trump said, "The Saudis buy real estate from me. I'm supposed to hate them?" Trump actually considered sending a former US Ambassador to Russia TO Russia to fulfill Putin's vendetta. Michael Flynn tried to have a Turk, a US resident, kidnapped and delivered to Erdogan to take the fall for a failed coup attempt. Roger Stone said that the Democrats were worse than the Russians, AFTER it was well-known that Putin meddled in our election to install Trump as President. It's well-known that Trump is, and has always been working hard to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs DIRECTLY IMPLICATED IN THE MEDDLING. But the national security emergency is on the border with Mexico? Trump is a traitor, loyal only to money, and he owes Russian banks. They're the only ones who would finance him after he failed miserably with daddy's money in New York. (No? Then, let's see those tax returns). Before you FOX News junkies and Trump cultists say I'm lying or brainwashed by CNN, Google it. You Russian trolls already know. Check multiple sources. If you think the entire MSM are deep state operatives working for the DNC, you're hopelessly ignorant. You'll see. The Mueller report is coming soon.

  8234. What policies has Trump implemented to lower black unemployment? The unemployment rate, in general, is down. And what policies has he implemented that show it isn't just STILL a good economy? Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term. It creates a bubble. Now that Trump is ballooning the deficit with those tax cuts, he's saying we have to tighten the belt. He just cut raises for government employees. Inflation is rising faster than wages now. Despite what Trump says, he inherited a good economy. When Obama took office, it was dismal.

  8237. Al Len - It was a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE probe into Russia and its ties to the Trump campaign. It was not a probe into the campaign. The difference? A counterintelligence probe is not meant to see the light of day, and no information gathered was used against Trump. But the FBI did reopen the email probe into Clinton, and announced it. That cost Clinton 3 points. The FBI did NOT announce that there was a probe into Trump/Russia, or else Trump would have been hurt by it. There was, as the IG found, PROBABLE CAUSE for looking into Trump, since he and 16 of his associates LIED about their contacts with a foreign country that was attacking our election. TRUMP'S PEOPLE MET WITH SURROGATES OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT TO TRADE DIRT ON CLINTON FOR SANCTION RELIEF. It started in the first place because Papadopoulos was reaching out to the Russians. So don't act all outraged. Trump and his people were screwing around with people they never should have. Trump ASKED FOR IT, and you should be glad the FBI, CIA, and the Obama Administration were looking out for us.

He says he doesn't need to learn anything because his gut tells him everything. You people are okay with that?

  8239.  @bovineone2420  - So, let them switch platforms. They need us more than we need them. Is the country going to go broke without the deal? Of course not. You think not letting an arms deal go through will destabilize the region? What would I do? I wouldn't cut off ties completely, but I would definitely punish them with sanctions. I would call them out before the world. I would refer them to the UN Security Council. And I sure as hell wouldn't say I don't believe my own intelligence services! And I wouldn't be so sure this isn't about Trump's personal bank account. Jared Kushner is under the microscope for making backroom deals with the Saudis. We know he has done that with Russia. Trump tried to hide the fact that he was trying to get a Trump Tower deal with Moscow during his campaign. It's part of Trump's MO. By the way, Saudi royals said Kushner was "in their pocket". Trump has no spine, and he has LITERALLY ANNOUNCED that it is money over morals with him.

  8249. Ben win Republican talking point #43 - "Biden admitted to withholding aid to Ukraine to oust a prosecutor who was investigating his son". -- Trump is doing the very same thing in Ukraine he is accusing Biden of, so do you want to call it legal or illegal? Right or wrong? Either Biden is innocent or Trump is also guilty. You can't have it both ways. https://www.apnews.com/d7440cffba4940f5b85cd3dfa3500fb2 -- Biden leveraged Ukrainian IN HIS CAPACITY AS VICE PRESIDENT, per US policy, with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, in the interest and for the benefit of the US, NOT for personal gain. Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

And if you believe this was just some anti-corruption onitiative by Trump, I've got some oceanfront prpperty in Kansas to sell you. This was about the election.

With no shred of evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win?

  8278. If it was up to me, this is what I would demand. (I THINK it's basically what the Dems want, but they haven't really put it out there in any detail): - A few billion for border security, PARTLY earmarked for PHYSICAL BARRIERS, and the rest for all else related to border security. (If Trump doesn't have the will or attention span to read, calculate, or hire people who can, he shouldn't be POTUS). - No "down payment" on a huge project costing tens of billions. Take it year by year. Barriers aren't skyscrapers. You can build them piece by piece without leaving anyone holding the bag, and the pieces are still effective. (This isn't some failed building project where half a casino is worth nothing). - An end to measures taken, since Trump took office, to block asylum seekers from seeking asylum. If he wants to call this a "humanitarian crisis", he can't be selective about who qualifies as human. - REAL protection for DACA recipients. I've got no problem with ending DACA, but honor the deal for those already in it. Don't keep them guessing or use them as pawns. DACA is merit-based. Amnesties work. Those opposed to any form of amnesty should get over it. Their situations are not their fault. (Even adults who cross illegally mostly do so to work for people who ILLEGALLY hire them. Share the blame). - Trump would have to sign a non-binding document stating that he'll work in GOOD FAITH to approach the immigration issue free of what is generally seen as xenophobic rhetoric and fear mongering. Good faith in getting accurate cost estimates, and being honest with the public about them. (I say "non-binding" because, let's be real, he'll sooner stick to that than actually get Mexico to pay for a wall. At least he'd be on record). Then, we reopen the government, "release the hostages" on BOTH SIDES, and then, the work BEGINS. We need comprehensive immigration reform. (GW Bush, a Texan, spoke better Spanish than English, and he couldn't do it). It should include an EFFICIENT path to citizenship, reform of drug laws - including demand side, lots of research, state-by-state federal fund allotment, technology, BARRIERS WHERE PRACTICAL, mutually beneficial US/Mexican economic policies...It's a huge thing. Unfortunately, Trump is a small, petty manchild with a big ego.

  8279. Mike Hall - This is over a lost election? In 2000, GW Bush lost the popular vote, and it came down to a state where his brother was governor. But GW Bush came into office with a 62% approval rating. Democrats lose about half of all elections, and most liberals weren't thrilled about Hillary. We can't get over an election? YOU people need to get over it. It's not about who lost. It's about who won. An inept, inexperienced, extremist, habitually lying idiot who is selling out the country.

  8283. In 2000, when the Court gave the Presidency to George Bush when it came down to a state where Bush's brother was governor, did Dems go nuts? Did they refuse to accept the results and start a smear campaign against Bush as "an excuse for a lost election"? When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

  8285. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  8286. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  8304. Law enforcement 101: If the cops have REASONABLE SUSPICION that a crime has occured, they do an INVESTIGATION. If they find further evidence of a crime, they bring that evidence to a prosecutor, who then decides whether or not to indict. If the prosecutor doesn't indict, it doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing. It means there was not enough evidence to prosecute. If a crime is prosecuted, and the defendent is not found guilty, the defendent is found NOT GUILTY of a CRIME. They are not found INNOCENT. It doesn't mean there was no reason for an investigation. It doesn't mean the cops and/or prosecutor, themselves, committed a crime. There was plenty of reason to suspect that the Russians committed a crime, hence reason to investigate. Common sense said that the Trump campaign may have been involved, since they were the BENEFICIARIES of that crime. The beneficiaries LIED to the cops. 16 Trump associates lied, and denied ANY involvement with the Russians. Trump, himself, lied about dealings with the Russians. Trump's people WERE SECRETLY CONTACTING THE MAIN SUSPECTS - THE RUSSIANS. That is REASONABLE SUSPICION. Any questions?

Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe.

All three are cooperating with Mueller. Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 felonies, is seeking a plea deal with Mueller, has another impending trial, and a possible retrial on 10 more felony counts. Paul Manafort ally, Sam Patton has pleaded guilty to foreign lobbying charges and is cooperating. Trump lawyer and "fixer", Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty to felonies, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator, and is seeking a plea deal. National Enquirer CEO, David Pecker was granted immunity. Trump Organization CFO, Alan Weiselburg was also granted immunity. Over a dozen Russians tied to Putin have been indicted. The Trump Foundation is under investigation. Donald Trump, Don Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump are all named in a lawsuit. White House lawyer, Don McGahn spoke to Mueller for 30 hours. Hope Hicks, Sam Nunberg, and a dozen or so more Trump associates and current and former White House staffers have spoken to Mueller. Roger Stone is predicting his own indictment. Carter Page, Donald Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner are under clouds of suspicion about collusion with the Russians. The wolves are gathering.

  8324. Before Trump was elected, I didn't like him. I knew he was a liar, but when he was elected, I didn't think he would lie 20,000 times in under 4 years. I thought he exchanged winks and a nods with Putin, but not that he was flat-out colluding, complete with transactions, meetings and operatives. Now I know he did. I thought he was a narcissist, but not nearly this bad. I thought he was a little racist, but more of an elitist, and indifferent towards minorities. Now, he's shown he's a full-blown racist bigot, and it drives his policy-making. I thought he hid his tax returns because he didn't want us to know he wasn't as rich as he said. I thought maybe he cheated a little on his taxes. Now, I think he's a major criminal, and those returns are his kryptonite. I knew he cheated on his wives. I thought he was like a frat boy towards women. Now I strongly suspect he's a sexual deviant and a date rapist - statutory and otherwise. I knew he was cold-blooded and into revenge, but didn't think he was a sociopath. Now, I see he has a clinical lack of empathy and sympathy. He is a crazy degree of vengeful. I thought there were lines he wouldn't cross. Now, I think he would literally kill to stay in power. If he wouldn't in 2016, he would now. Look how he equates the US to Russia. His answer to, "Putin kills journalists" was "America has a lot of killers." He equated Putin to his own soldiers in Iraq. I thought he wasn't very smart, but my God, what an IDIOT! He went to college? He doesn't understand the most basic things we learned in the 8th grade! I thought he was a con MAN, but too dumb to be a con ARTIST. Now I know more about con artist strategy. I STILL think he's a dumb, two-bit con man, but I didn't think he was so stupid that he couldn't recognize when HE is being conned. He's being conned by foreign adversaries. He's being conned by CROOKS IN HIS OWN PARTY AND BY HIS OWN EMPLOYEES. In the end, WE are getting screwed.

  8327.  @izzybermudez1179  - Antifa is made up of about 50 stoners who nobody supports. There are so few of them, and they're so rarely active that the FBI calls it an ideology rather than a group. It's a straw man for the GOP and an imaginary nemesis for the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. All of these people saying "BLM and Antifa burned down cities" don't even realize that MOST of the rioters were not active in the BLM organization and very, very few identified as Antifa, if any.

  8328. Holly Seymour - Sure. It was Pelosi who uncharacteristically went off the rails, and Trump didn't act LIKE HE ALWAYS acts. Duh. "Unhinged" and "meltdown" are words characteristic of Trump. Once again, he projected, and used words describing him on his opposition. Excuse me, his "enemies", as he calls everyone who doesn't go along with his idiotic ideas.

  8329. There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  8330.  @KellieAnn71  - The Mueller report found ten instances of possible obstruction. The REPUBLICAN LED Senate Intelligence Committee determined that Trump had in fact colluded with the Russians. His charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". His "university" was shut down for fraud. He is on tape directing Michael Cohen to commit felony bank, tax and FEC fraud. He is under investigation in Georgia and New York. A judge just ruled him in contempt...

Well, consider the sources. The PRODUCTS the news is selling are facts. They COMPETE with other networks to sell us the most accurate facts the fastest. Advertisers serve companies who COMPETE with others in their business. Most companies aren't set up for home delivery, so they need you to "get back out there!" It's why Amazon is thriving, restaurants and bars are barely surviving, and we get mixed messages. No wonder the most consumer-driven country in the world is handling the pandemic so poorly.

  8347. Donald Trump lied when he said he was unaware of those hush money payments. That has been proven. He became an unindicted co-conspirator in a case involving bank fraud that sent his personal lawyer to prison. Trump lied when he said he had no dealings with Russia during his campaign. He was trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that required approval from Putin himself. Trump was SEEKING FAVOR FROM RUSSIA WHILE RUSSIA WAS ATTACKING A US ELECTION IN HIS FAVOR. The Russians knew he was lying to us, and could use that to BLACKMAIL him. Does anyone really believe Trump was unaware that his son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman were meeting with Russian government surrogates for the purpose of obtaining stolen material on their opponent? Trump continues to lie by saying the Mueller Report concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction. These are only 4 of the 11,000 lies Trump has told in the last 2 1/2 years. To give this some perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Bill Clinton was IMPEACHED over a lie about his personal life, and if you say, "Clinton lied under oath", I'll point out that Trump refused to go under oath, and has blocked dozens of his staff from testifying, citing statutes that literally do not exist. What should that tell us?

  8350. Unless they're a member of a hate group, you're never going to definitively prove someone is a racist. It's like when someone says, "Are you calling me a liar?" What does that mean, "a liar"? You're saying they're lying about the issue at hand. Is Steve Bannon "officially" a racist? His supporters would argue until the 5th of never that you have to "prove it", but if you call your publication "the platform for the alt-right", and say you're not racist, it's like saying, "I'm not a Klan member, but I host their meetings at my house". Trump repeatedly says and does racist things, He is a policy maker, so he is more dangerous than some backwoods Klan hick. Don't let him and his supporters rope you into arguing the technicalities of each lie and accusation. There is a clear pattern of Russian collusion around him, but his followers argue that each one technically doesn't prove to be criminal beyond a doubt. Yes, that definitely has to be proven in court, but to say there isn't basis for suspicion is absurd. Unfounded suspicion is certainly enough for those hypocrites to conclude Clinton is guilty of fraud and high treason - even without evidence and usually with provably false information. Don't fall into Trumpers' transactional traps. There are undeniable patterns.

  8351. Tommy DeNato - Enough with the Clintons already. There hasn't been a Clinton in government since 2012. Dems weren't even very thrilled about Hillary. The Clintons are a small family from Arkansas. Funny how you people act like they're some powerful dynasty, but I never hear you Clinton bashing/"deep state" conspiracy theorists talking about the Bush dynasty. That's a big family, with many in politics, and literally on the inside of the biggest industry on earth - fossil fuel. Do you have some evidence of the Clintons doing anything illegal other than Bill lying in 1998 or Hillary using a private server that sensitive material was never shown to have leaked? By the way, TRUMP'S PEOPLE WERE CAUGHT USING PRIVATE EMAIL FOR OFFICIAL BUSINESS.

  8352. - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side?

  8361.  @kitol33  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

But yeah, with Trump, just because something is a horrible idea that will probably backfire on him and/or leak to the press doesn't mean he won't try it. He's that stupid. He reminds me of those dogs who will try all day to get through a narrow space with a long stick in their mouth.

  8371. I was wrong about Trump. I thought he was a con man, not a con artist. Tricking the stupid shouldn't be an art form. Now, I see that he's the Picasso of bullshit. He lies constantly, but he convinced the biggest skeptics, conspiracy theorists, that he's honest. Politicians have always said, "I'm an outsider", but he made folks think he was the first. He thinks proper spelling is "smock" and "boarder", but he got people to enroll at Trump University. He's played more suckers than PT Barnum. He's inspired xenophobia that would make Hitler jealous. He's charmed more followers than Jim Jones, and he has the personality of a rabid raccoon. He didn't just con the stupid. He's gotten Senators, CEOs, and otherwise smart people to back his dumb ideas. Now, he must take it up a notch and lead the flat earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince them the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe what you want to believe.

If you call the dossier collusion with a foreign country, you have to call the Trump Tower meeting the same. You can't have it both ways. But the dossier was not collusion with a foreign government, and It's ABSURD to allege the Russians would help the CANDIDATE THEY HATED, AND WHOSE OPPONENT THEY WERE HELPING, MORON!!

  8375. I would assume it's the knowledge of it being an illusion that's being illuded, but then that raises the question, "But is it, really?" We know for a fact that the brain interprets stimulus by receiving signals and translating them into something the entire species has evolved to perceive similarly. Right away, we know our perception has been "processed". We also know that we're always perceiving the past because it takes time for light and sound to travel, for the brain to process information, etc. So we do know it's an illusion. But doesn't simply knowing anything mean you are conscious? That's real. What it perceives isn't...But if nothing is truly "real", then why is it the standard by which we measure reality?

  8377. Trump exploits TECHNICALITIES. He wants to be taken literally or figuratively depending on what makes him look better or gets him off the hook. First, he insisted that collusion wasn't a crime, and it isn't. Technically, he couldn't be charged, but was it OKAY to welcome the help of a foreign government? Then, after the report, he kept repeating the LIE that Mueller said "there was no collusion", as if he was cleared of an actual crime. He sure calls it a crime that Clinton "colluded" with Russia with that dossier. (That was NOT collusion. The accusation is wrong on many levels. But let's say it was for a moment. The dossier was collusion, but the Trump Tower meeting wasn't? He can't have it both ways). He says things that have been considered racist, xenophobic tropes, embedded in some of our worst history, and wants us to PROVE his words are racist. "What's wrong with just stating a fact?" Then, he turns around and accuses Democrats and the media of racism for even questioning his rhetoric. According to him, anything that technically doesn't break the law is okay. Beyond that, anyone who QUESTIONS his behavior has committed TREASON! Recently, he ostensibly said that people who complain about his government should leave the country. He said they HATE AMERICA, a country FOUNDED by immigrants on the right to air grievances and not be ruled by a dictator! What's more, he complains about the government more than anyone. He bitches about how he is portrayed on Saturday Night Live. Imagine that - SNL lampooning the president. Even crazier is that he's a New Yorker who has hosted SNL! How do his followers not see the hypocrisy? How do they not smell the bullshit?

He lied about pursuing a Trump Tower deal in Moscow while running for president, and while Russia was attacking our election for HIS BENEFIT!

  8395. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  8396. Zen Masta -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  8398. House Dems should at least start an impeachment INQUIRY. Then, they get the documents and testimony that Trump refuses to turn over. Dems should put the election stuff on hold for a while. It's still early. There may not be enough Republican votes in the Senate to remove Trump right now, but there are 20 ongoing probes, into his charity, his inaugural committee, and his tax, banking, emoluments, and business practices. His kids could have state criminal exposure he can't pardon away. Dems want to beat a wounded Trump at the ballot box, but that's a long time from now, and in that time, Republicans might decide to primary him. They'll want to get rid of him for the same reason they support him now - to hold onto power. Dems must SIEZE THE NARRATIVE that Trump and Barr took control of when they declared, "No collusion. Case closed". No, it's not closed. Mueller said that Barr mischaracterized his report. Mueller needs to testify. I think he knew he might have to do that when he took the job of Special Council. There WAS COLLUSION. As Giuliani said, "collusion is not a crime". Mueller didn't find enough evidence to charge criminal CONSPIRACY. Mueller also clearly outlined 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice. He couldn't indict a sitting President, so he left it to Congress. Over 800 former federal prosecutors signed a document saying that if Trump wasn't President, he would be charged with Obstruction. (Did 800 prosecutors say that Hillary Clinton would have been criminally charged for her private server? No. That's why Comey said that, while she was reckless, "no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges". And by the way, Trump, Kushner, and Ivanka have done worse than Hillary with regard to being careless with classified information and using improper channels...a LOT worse). Just wait, Trumpers. We haven't heard the end of the Hope Hicks, Michael Flynn, and Rick Gates stories. They have all been cooperating. If Trump has nothing to hide, why is he stonewalling and acting squirrelly? Use common sense. Your boy is a crook, and you were conned.

  8405. Social Security and Medicaid hasn't turned the US into red China or the USSR. Social programs are socialist. All revolutions start with popular uprisings, not just in socialist and communist states. I don't care what a system is called. I just want bang for my tax buck. Some things should be left to the free market, and some things to the government, the collective. Some things should be communal. That doesn't mean the whole system should be Communist. Any government in a free country is somewhat socialist. Bernie Sanders is right. We already have corporate socialism. We subsidize farms and bail out failing big businesses. If you say those things aren't socialist, you prove my point. "Socialism" is a word conservatives demonize as a political weapon to avoid debate about ideas put forth by liberals. They even demonize the word, "progressive". I want socialized health care because it's proven to work in other countries. I don't want free higher education, because it will erode the quality. People may argue against my position, but that's the point. It should be debated and compromised on, not DISMISSED as a slippery slope into some imagined socialist nightmare. People like Sanders and AOC don't get it. It's not that they don't have good ideas, but they think if they put the word "Democratic" in front of the word "Socialist", that conservatives will be open minded about it. They'll just be dismissed and demonized by simple-minded people on the right.

Maybe he was brushing the Russian off. "Don't call me. I'll call you". "Yeah, we should do lunch some time". Trump followers point to vagaries as proof of something nefarious, like saying the words "insurance policy" in a text proves a deep state conspiracy. But show them a ton of suspicious activity and lies by Trump, and they not only dismiss it as nothing, but insist we don't have reason to be suspicious at all.

  8419.  @J_Madison  - You hit all of the BS talking points. Hillary Clinton didn't just take a bribe and hand over 20% of US nuclear capability to the Russians! Does anyone really think anyone could do that? Like it's some kind of coke deal?? 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 consists of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, and was led by a Republican. The State Department, headed by Clinton, was simply one of them. The alleged "briber" didn't have a 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 the deal. So, why wasn't Obama blamed for this "scandal"? Because Obama wasn't running for president. Clinton was. Why was a years-old, routine deal called a scandal at all? Because it involved Hillary Clinton and uranium. Yes, uranium is used in nuclear bombs to create a fusion reaction. It's mostly used in POWER PLANTS, where it isn't enriched to be weaponized. Russia has had the bomb for about seven decades. They have LOTS of uranium in their own soil. Russia has thousands of nuclear warheads, just like the US. A dozen or so could end life on Earth as we know it. The suggestion that somehow Clinton sold out our nuclear capability to Russia is ridiculous. By the way, what are you accusing these people of anyway? You right wing trolls never have anything more than suspicion. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean there must be some crime or conspiracy. It's pathetic.

  8420.  @J_Madison  - The accusation is bribery. So, you have a different accusation? You aren't making any sense. How am I arguing with a straw man? I simply stated the facts. And Obama didn't do nothing when Putin invaded. He sanctioned them out of a $500 billion oil deal. You are obviously uninformed.

  8421.  @J_Madison  - What on Earth are you talking about? You're all over the place. Yes, YOU brought up Uranium One - which is misinformation about BRIBERY. That's the accusation. And again, how is my argument a "straw man"? I told you, it's FACT. Fact that proves you wrong. Period.

  8422.  @J_Madison  - Donald Trump was AGAINST arming Ukraine. It was one of the few things his party overrode him on.

  8426. Trump is putting forth two contradictory defenses. One is that there was no quid pro quo. He didn't hold up the aid and a White House meeting until the Ukrainians announced investigations. He didn't know Lev Parnas, and Parnas was not conducting shadow foreign policy in Ukraine. The other is that he did these things, but that it was perfectly legal. He was fighting corruption in Ukraine. The first one is easy to disprove. Trump is on tape talking shop with Lev Parnas. Mick Mulvaney said there was a quid pro quo. So did Sondland, and about a dozen other witnesses, in sworn testimony. The second is just as easy to disprove. If this was a legitimate anti-corruption initiative, why the secrecy? Why did he hide the record of that phone call on a super-secure hard drive? Why did the whistleblower make his/her complaint? It was legit, but nobody explained that? Why did the IG determine that the complaint had merit? If Trump was just fighting corruption, why did he remove the ambassador to Ukraine whose specialty it was to root out corruption in Ukraine? Of all of the potential corruption there, why now go after Biden, his biggest political threat, for stuff that happened years ago? And the "server"? Why make up such an utterly, totally, ridiculously absurd thing to investigate? If the Ukrainian government hacked our election, why have them INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES? Why push for only the ANNOUNCEMENT of these probes, and not actual probes? Zelinsky never did the investigations or announce them. So why did Trump finally release the aid? These things are obvious to those who aren't turning a blind eye to them.

Most Trump rallygoers do not. A disease is not a political issue! - One is a call to end police brutality. The other is listening to an old man incoherently ramble and tell the same, old lies about how most of the country consists of communist, open-border loving, stealth-racist rioters who want to confiscate your guns.

  8429. Justin - He never said he had secret evidence. He said he'd seen evidence. That's it! That "Schiff lied" lie is so RIDICULOUS. He said he'd seen direct evidence. WE HAD ALL SEEN IT, TOO. One question - Did it bother you that Trump was an habitual liar? Of course not. You're tribal, biased, and ignorant. The following is a list of plain FACTS about that whole thing. Now, ask yourself, "Would I be okay with it if Biden did and said these things?" We both know the answer to that. Enjoy. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'NT" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  8430. FOX News literally coordinates with the President. It's a feedback loop. It's like state-run media, and media-run state. Do Trump supporters not see the hypocrisy of his crying, "fake news" all the time? Trump has planted stories in the tabloids all his life. He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid. Who do you know who says, "everyone but me is lying", that you trust? It's pathetic.

  8441. This is ridiculous! Trump started the petty, losing argument that he has "saved" the economy from the non-existent failures of Obama. It's a false talking point, and it never even had to be addressed. Because of that, an endless parade of people continue to go on the news and humiliate themselves unnecessarily, all because the president has self-esteem problems. The chart is right there for all to see, yet this doofus goes on TV and desperately talks over Poppy Harlow to stop her from pointing out the obvious facts. Why bring it up at all? Then, in order to divert from his losing argument, he starts ANOTHER losing argument - that Obama raised the debt - only to be told the fact that Trump is raising it at a higher rate. Trump promised to eliminate the debt in 8 years. When his advisors told him it was projected to rise over the next 8 years, the self-proclaimed "King of Debt" said, "I don't care. I'll be gone then". His tax cuts are pure deficit spending. This is so STUPID and unnecessary.

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.

  8457. It's taking a long time, but Trump's base is going to turn away from him, and when people turn, they REALLY turn. W got two terms, but he left with about 30% approval, and came in with 58%. Trump has a dismal, rising disapproval rating, and will NEVER get his approval above 40. The majority hates him. He styles himself as an entertainer. Even the biggest actors and pop stars become overexposed. His show had lots of fans, but would they still have liked The Apprentice if they had to watch it every day? 87% of the public thinks the DACA kids should stay, including half of his base, and virtually all liberals. More than half of his base disapproved of both the failed Republican health care bill and the new tax law. With his DAILY doses of lying, offensive Tweets, displays of ineptitude, flip-flops, and Russia probe developments - that will NOT stop, the relatively reasonable half of his base will become as exhausted with his bullshit as the liberals. When that happens, Republican lawmakers will drop him like a bad habit. They have a decision to make for the upcoming mid-terms - stand by him or distance themselves. His base will turn, probably suddenly, maybe even without an identifiable specific cause. A little innocuous straw will break the camel's back... Or Mueller will throw down a "trump" card. Whatever happens, there is no way Trump will ever turn it around.

  8463.  @YUMLiberalTears  It is reasonable to suspect and investigate when: - The President's supporters attacked the Capitol as he encouraged them to be outraged over a lie he was pushing. - Trump's actions, words, secrecy, and absurd excuses point to extortion when he claimed Ukraine should investigate his POLITICAL RIVAL to "show they aren't corrupt." (And why would he want a corrupt country to investigate a prominent American citizen?) - Russians attacked an election in Trump's favor as he encouraged and praised hackers, refused to criticize Russia, and 16 of his people lied and covered-up their meetings with Russian officials. - Trump refused to release his tax returns based on ridiculous excuses while insisting he "wanted to" release them, as real evidence of tax fraud was revealed. - Evidence is revealed that Hillary Clinton AND Trump staffers used private email for government business. It is NOT reasonable to suspect and/or investigate when: - Baseless, nebulous accusations and rumors of Biden's "corruption" with China propagate through the internet. - There's no sign of anything close to significant voter fraud, and no suspect or evidence a crime had occurred. - The Secretary of State signed-off on a uranium mining deal, a formality that she had little control over, and no evidence of impropriety. (It wasn't even brought up until years later when Clinton ran for President). - Isolated cases of individuals' bad conduct and text messages devoid of context do not at all suggest a vast, "deep state" conspiracy involving multiple agencies coordinating in ways that defy logic and common sense. - Obama was on a hot mic telling a Russian diplomat he'll have "more flexibility after the election," with no context or suggestion of impropriety whatsoever.

He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring. But I wouldn't expect someone who calls themself, "Yum Liberal Tears" to actually comprehend this. That name says 1)- You're locked into your bias. 2)- You are immature and ignorant. 3)- You're likely to be a paid troll.

Trump expected to lose the general election. - Citizens don't like to vote, but illegals will risk jail and deportation to do it? - Hispanics vote Republican at about the same rate as the general population. - It would require a MASSIVE fake ID manufacturing scam, yet NO fake IDs were found. - A fake ID scam would require a MASSIVE money laundering operation, for which no evidence was found. - Trump formed a voter fraud commission that found nothing. - Trump complains that this "fraud" robbed him of 3 million votes. Funny how that's the same number of votes by which he lost the popular vote. Accusations of voting for dead people are EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS and futile. Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. - In 2016, Trump told his voters to vote twice, and that it was okay to cheat in HIS favor. - He says it's okay to accept foreign government election help, and has solicited it from no fewer than 3 countries. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. Now, here he goes again.

  8482.  @shaunareyes  The sheriff only said what I had ALREADY theorized, that this was about prostitution. Strippers are not prostitutes. Asian massage parlors are notorious for prostitution, and he targeted the ones HE FREQUENTED. There were no "non-Asian" massage parlors for him to pass up. Even if there were, that doesn't mean he patronized or even knew they existed. Yes, the sheriff is racist, but that's beside the point. He was describing the mindset the suspect indicated he was in, JUST AS THE REPORTER ASKED HIM TO. He's a cop, not a professional public speaker, and it's a hell of a leap to suggest that just because the sheriff was racist against Asians that he would try to defend someone who killed 8 people in his city. What good does it do to focus on ONE mitigating factor - "Is it technically a hate crime?" Rarely are hate crime cases cut and dry. Burning a cross on a Black person's lawn is obviously a hate crime. Mugging an Asian is not as clear cut. Just because there is an uptick in crimes against Asians doesn't mean that all Asians are suddenly immune from being targeted for reasons other than race. In no way did I make an "excuse" for him, and I defy you to tell me how I did.
    1
  8483.  @shaunareyes  What do you not understand about this? He used Asian massage parlors to pay for sex. Virtually the ONLY kind of massage parlors that do that are Asian. It doesn't matter that prostitution takes place at some strip clubs. HE DIDN'T USE THOSE. He killed the prostitutes HE USED. He didn't scream racial slurs. He didn't post a racist manifesto online. Your logic is extremely flawed. My theory is bullshit, but it just happened to be exactly what the suspect himself would say his motive was?? Of course he is probably racist, but this is about PROVING MOTIVE. To do that, you have to use PSYCHOLOGY, not POLITICS. Again, how am I "excusing" them?? I oppose HATE CRIMES LEGISLATION. That doesn't mean I am excusing their behavior in any way. This is a nightmare case to try to prove was racially motivated. I'm being practical.

  8484.  @Gerber6209  Yes, some consideration. My problem is with liberals seizing on this vague example and demanding that race be the central focus so much that they ignore the other aggravating factors.

He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't.

Kim Jong Un LIKES Trump. They have a gentleman's agreement. Trust, but why verify? Verification is just a pain in the ass, and Trump would have to do a bunch of reading to do it. Words are the devil's play toys. We should worry about the threat from our EVIL Canadian neighbors. They're going to fuck-up our economy with their unfair trade practices. They're legalizing weed up there. Weed is the devil's herb. Trump never drank or smocked, and he became a bazillionaire. Don't worry about the Saudis. The Crown Prince says he had nothing to do with luring-out and killing a US resident who worked for the Washington Post. (WaPo is just liberal fake news, anyway). MBS says he didn't do it, and there's no way to know for sure. Let's just move ahead with that big arms deal that puts us right in the middle of the Sunni/Shiite jihad. It definitely has nothing to do with Trump's personal finances. And you know, unless you catch Russian hackers "in the act", you can't really know if they did it. Maybe it was the Chinese or a fat guy on a bed. There's no way to know for sure. Let it be one of life's little mysteries. It's like that made-up global warming shit.

  8509. Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016. (Though not charged with the crime of conspiracy, he did collude with them. He asked for their help, and his top aides met with them in New York to trade dirt for sanction relief). He asked Ukraine and China to interfere in the 2020 election. He withheld aid to Ukraine to extort them for probes of the Bidens and a nonsense conspiracy theory about hacked DNC servers. He directed his personal lawyer to commit felonies. He broke the emoluments clause. He obstructed justice many times before and during the Mueller and Ukraine investigations. He dangled pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. He altered an official weather chart. He intimidated witnesses.

  8510.  @mariemonk104  Donald Trump was well-known to be a cheating, lying narcissist before he was elected. He called undocumented Mexicans "rapists" during the first speech of his campaign. He had no experience in government, but craved power, and we could see that. Lots of politicians are lying crooks who want power, but not like him, and most care about government in a way Trump clearly did not. He said "You 2nd Amendment people" (where he dog-whistled to extremists, putting Hillary Clinton in danger) BEFORE he was elected. That one infuriated me. He knew what he was doing, and so did the Secret Service, who questioned him over it. We found out about his "puzzy grabber" comment BEFORE the election. I am a New Yorker, and I knew just how much New Yorkers hated him. He then became president and EXCEEDED our expectations about how bad he could be. I did not think he was a full-on sociopath before he was elected. I grew to believe that. I thought there were lines he wouldn't cross before the election. I grew to see there were none. I didn't think he had full-on authoritarian tendencies beforehand. He proved he did, or became that way as he became drunk with power. He exhibited a LOT of signs he was a horrible candidate for the job. He thinks he knows everything, so he refused to learn anything. He wasn't interested in intelligence briefings BEFORE he was elected. I could go on...But we have REASONS to hate him.

  8511.  @dwainebrown4409  What has he really done? He incited a deadly riot, and it's not just that Trump incited the riot. He did nothing to stop it. The PRESIDENT did nothing to stop a riot at the CAPITOL. Even afterward, he told them they had a just cause, and that they were good people. He tweeted against Mike Pence while he knew they were hunting him down. Anyone who doesn't see what was happening simply refuses to see it. What if Obama had done exactly what Trump did? That is obvious. Dems ARE held to the same standard. The two do not compare. Trumpers are starting a cycle of "whataboutism" that it's going to be hard to end. I could argue that Trump supporters have ridiculous double standards. Those rioters were groomed over time - not just during one rally (where his lawyer called for "trial by combat" in support of him!) The rioters were told that 61 courts, DOJ, CISA, and dozens of local audits and recounts were not to be taken as arbiters and legitimate authorities, and that their country was being stolen from them - OVER A LIE. Comparisons to BLM are ridiculous for more reasons than I could list here without breaking the internet. Just think - If Obama did it..?

  8512.  @myphilippineamericanjourne4731  Of course Giuliani isn't on trial, but he was speaking with Trump on Trump's behalf. Do you really think Trump disapproved of his saying "trial by combat"? Do you think Trump said, "Rudy, what you said was not cool. I'm trying to keep this peaceful," or do you think he more likely patted him on the back and said, "Great job, Rudy!" This was not about one speech any more than the first impeachment was about one "perfect" phone call. That was the point of my comment. Trump has exhibited a long, clear pattern of inciting violence. The "pre-planned" argument makes no sense. Trump tweeted that Mike Pence lacked courage (to do what was literally impossible) AFTER he heard that Pence was being whisked to safety, DURING the riot. The technical arguments you think you are so logically laying out are flawed because incitement is about intent. A busted coke dealer can't get acquitted because he called it "blow". A mob boss can't get away with ordering a hit because he said "wack" instead of "kill". Trump's shouldn't get away with it just because his words came out of Giuliani's mouth while speaking on Trump's behalf as he cheered him on from a few yards away. His intent was clear.

  8514. Legends Never Die - At its peak, there was a 2-3% death rate. It's 7 times as deadly as the flu. It had our hospitals at capacity. Imagine how bad it would have been if everyone had refused to wear a mask or be vaccinated. The economy and the health care system would have collapsed. And is death the only thing that matters? Yeah, so what if a million people wind up alone in a hospital bed for 6 weeks struggling to breathe, then spend the next ten years paying the bill?

  8515. The USMCA, the "new NAFTA", has not taken effect yet. It is unproven. It was a deal involving the Mexicans and Canadians. Think Mr. "Art of the deal" got the best of them? A trade deficit/surplus is not money in the bank. It's about the difference in what we buy from and sell to other countries. A surplus does not go into the treasury. And punitive tariffs are offset by tariffs our trade partners put on us. If Trump wants Mexico to pay for a wall/fence thing, he has to show how. Think Trump is a number cruncher? He doesn't have the capacity or patience for anything technical. He is all about PR. He doesn't take advice, and he doesn't learn. Think he'll start a dedicated wall fund? He is infamous for trying to take money from pile A to put in pile B. He "loves spending other peoples' money". He calls himself the "King of debt".

  8519. Average Joe - Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  8520. Average Joe - Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

Donald Trump sure tried to take credit for saving 2.2 million lives, and he didn't pull that number out of a hat. Masks are BASIC PHYSICS. They stop some virus, stop more from traveling so far from the infected person, but can't stop them all because viruses are very, very small. Much of it sticks to droplets, but it's still an AIRBORNE virus. The solution is a little here and a little there, but people like you want to make it a binary thing, works or doesn't. You use it to justify doing what YOU want, not what the facts are. This is clear. Go talk to a nurse or doctor. They'll tell you.

  8548. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

He won't even acknowledge the protesters have a just cause. He calls BLM a "hate symbol." 99.9% of the protesters are NOT vandalizing.

  8577. -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.

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 over 100 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI had asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, but nobody did.

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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria.

This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  8578. Why is it that Trump never has to explain his conspiracy theories, but when you explain a real conspiracy involving Russian meddling in our elections, it's a "treasonous coup attempt"?

  8579.  @badguy1481  Russians hacked 21 states' voter roll software. They weaponized the DNC emails - with the support of the Trump campaign. They used every major social media platform. They put out false information about how to vote. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it would have swung the election. They funnelled cash to the Trump camp via the NRA. They used tactics they've been refining for decades. Think they'd do it if it didn't work? It wasn't just screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted, code-named operation.
    1
  8580.  @badguy1481  Yeah, why would the Russians have done what they had an interest in doing, what they're known to do to other countries, and what intelligence - even from other countries - concluded that they did? You think that all-powerful deep state just wasn't powerful enough to stop Trump from getting elected in the first place? Let's see - they supposedly spied on Trump, faked a dossier, and recruited career officials from a dozen or more agencies, but then didn't use that info. during the campaign? They planned to wait until after Trump was elected to make him look bad afterward? Yeah, makes tons of sense.

  8581.  @badguy1481  You are so twisted on the facts, you're not even worth correcting. China wants Trump in power. They can manipulate him. They can bribe him. He approved of their concentration camps. He caved on Hong Kong. His trade war is a failure - nothing but an import tax on US companies. When Trump tells you China is helping Biden, don't believe it. Don't believe that absurd lie about Biden somehow taking a BILLION DOLLAR Chinese bribe. Biden wants to ACTUALLY move manufacturing back to the US, not just lie about it like Trump is doing. All you people ever say is, "I know you are, but what am I?" It's pathetic.

They don't work for the DNC or the "deep state". They work for ratings to get sponsors, so they sensationalize to get your attention. That doesn't mean they're lying. If they were, their competitors would call THEM out to take their ratings and sponsors. Competition is a cornerstone of capitalism. MSM want big, corporate sponsorship, so why would they be pushing far-left socialism? You "fake news" parrots haven't thought this through. Think of it as fast food, but instead of burgers, they sell information. They have to offer a quality product faster than the other guys. CNN is the McDonalds of news. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. It's not gourmet, but it does the job. If you don't want a lot of garnish, watch PBS, but you'll get the same FACTS that CNN reports. FOX News can't pass the health inspection. It has no competitors. It labeled MSM "liberal" simply by standing to the right of the them, and pretending it isn't also mainstream media. FOX News isn't conservative. It's ALTERNATIVE media. It's up to YOU to know the difference between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. The term, "fake news" is designed to blur those differences, and to make you think opinions are outright lies. Do you MSM critics who cry "BIAS!" even realize how biased YOU are?

For example, Trump saying "What about the documents in Biden's garage?" may get Biden in trouble, but then we get back to Trump and compare the two. If Biden deserves five years in prison, then the only rational conclusion is, by comparison, Trump should get life in prison. The double standard is astounding.

A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police!" He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us? Trump is using the OJ Simpson defense - "You can't PROVE I DID IT because the lead detective was a racist and I'm black". I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

So...there are...no more four-year terms? So, Dan Quayle, HW Bush and Al Gore just... didn't think about that?? Are they asserting that also gives them the right to summon a riot at the Capitol as long as they insist they really believed they were cheated??

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.

  8650. Edwin M - The transcript wasn't damning? It proves Trump asked for foreign assistance and shows a quid pro quo, and that isn't even necessary to be a crime. When he pulled that shit with Russia, Mueller couldn't indict him on conspiracy, not because he was innocent, but because as an inexperienced civilian, he couldn't prove Trump KNEW it was wrong. Now, he knows. He does not even deny what he did. His only defense is to say it wasn't a crime, and there are more than just whistleblower complaints. There are texts among staff.

  8652. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  8659. 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.

  8675. Vital Signs - That talking point is absurd. We all saw a mountain of evidence. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. He bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  8682.  @cjp1599  Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  8683.  @cjp1599  ... Are you actually saying the President is allowed to weaponize the DOJ for his personal campaign and call it "oppo research"????? Are you nuts????? Man, he screwed with you peoples' heads. He even told you colluding with a foreign government was OKAY and called it "oppo research". Of course, that didn't stop him from saying that when his opponents used an actual, legal oppo research firm - the very same one that started the research FOR THEM - was somehow treason. Damn, dude, wise up.

  8684.  @cjp1599  The media are the problem, not Trump? The media reporting true facts about an habitual liar? To call me a non-thinker is pure projection.

They're the exact same talking points that most if you repeat ad nauseum. I've heard enough to know that anyone who reflexively blames the media is grossly misinformed, uninformed and disinformed.

  8699. Only an idiot like Trump would fake an election poll, and only he has actually been proven to have done it. Question: Why would anyone fake an election poll? Answer: Ostensibly, to get votes for a candidate. Do you vote for the most popular candidate? To be on the winning side...of an election? In a horse race, sure. If you have money on it, absolutely. But unless that many people use elections as gambling events, I don't see the point. I get dreading work on Monday because Tom is going to give you shit about telling him the Patriots would win the Super Bowl, but the Patriots got their ass kicked. But an election? Who votes for Clinton because they want to stick it to Tom on Wednesday after an election? If that's your motivation to vote, please don't vote! The news media compete with independent pollsters as well as other outlets for ACCURACY. If CNN's polls were always far off from the others, how trustworthy would their polls be? They'd lose sponsors, aka MONEY, which is what they work for. There's no vast conspiracy where CNN, PBS, Quinnipiac and Gallup all get together and decide what fits the leftist, deep state narrative. They just take polls and report the results. Why is it so hard to believe that they're just doing their jobs? So, why did Trump pay for fake polls? Because he's a narcissistic idiot. It's how he thinks. "Look at my crowd size and my popularity!" In 2016, it worked for him. He won a popularity contest against an unpopular opponent. Most Dems weren't thrilled about Hillary. He appealed to like-minded idiots who think elections are somehow about popularity because he can't compete on actual ideas.

  8700. In 2000, when the Court gave the Presidency to George Bush when it came down to a state where Bush's brother was governor, did Dems go nuts? Did they refuse to accept the results and start a smear campaign against Bush as "an excuse for a lost election"? When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election, did Dems go nuts? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

  8703. Liberals outnumber conservatives, but Republicans refuse to try to win liberals over. They win by suppressing Dem votes and turning out their base through division. So, even when they win, they don't get new voters. They keep repeating the strategy, as there's always an election around the corner. Doubt that? Look at Trump, who treated half the country as an enemy. They can't let him go no matter how much trouble he caused them. Didn't they get exhausted? Look at Black voters. Republicans only get about 10% of their vote, and winning them over is always too big of a mountain to climb in under two years. The solution is right in front of them, but they won't look past their noses. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular. A minimum wage hike, health care reform, pot legalization, COVID mitigation, racial justice, sensible gun control, and addressing climate change are all favored by a SOLID majority of the electorate. Republicans ignore and/or deny ALL of those issues. Republicans need to worry more about DOING the job than KEEPING the job. They cry "election security," but why is it that every security measure they propose just happens to be the something that hinders liberal turnout? They can't even be bipartisan about a probe into what went wrong at the Capitol! It's INSANE to demand that an investigation focus on "left wing extremists." WHAT left wing extremists?? Antifa is nothing but about 50 unorganized people who have no support, and were not at the Capitol riot. BLM is NOT an extremist group. Do Republicans really want to demonize a group that demonstrates against systemic racism? Yeah, that will help get Black votes and end the stereotype that Republicans are racist! I hope they DO look into BLM, SEPARATELY, to show the difference between them and a coup attempt based on lies, executed by The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, Confederate dead-enders, and a half-dozen white supremacist groups who were decidedly partisan and encouraged by a majority of the Republican Congress and the President himself. I thought Republicans called theirs the "party of ideas"? Well, make with the ideas. Failing that, they could learn to agree with Dems about what the PROBLEMS are and argue over the SOLUTIONS. What are the problems? Public opinion is clear on that. They're the wealth gap, minimum wage, health care, marijuana, COVID, racism, and gun control, and climate change. They're NOT communism, threats to the 2nd Amendment, left-wing extremism, sanctuary cities, or gay rights. And there is equal blame on BOTH SIDES for "cancel culture" and outsourcing jobs overseas, so don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

  8711. Donald Trump wrote a $25,000 CHECK from his former charity's account to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, to squash a lawsuit over his sham "university." (He was successfully sued in another state over Trump U, and his charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality.") He ostensibly paid a bribe with a CHECK from a CHARITY. He's not careful. The people in his circle aren't careful. Look at Giuliani. "Hey, everybody, I'm off to Ukraine now to get dirt on Donald's opponent from a foreign government AGAIN." Trump paid off two women to keep quiet about his marital affairs with checks. (The story had already come out years before, too). He directed his lawyer to set up a sham LLC in order to make the payments, committing bank, tax, and FEC fraud in the process. He couldn't use cash? Jewelry? I'd bet he left paper trails all over the place. He's screwed.

  8712. Trump followers, snap out of it and realize how dishonest, insincere, narcissistic, incompetent, and dangerous he is! Pretend he's not president, but just someone you know. We all know people who always say, "Everyone's against me!" Sometimes people do gang up on you, but let's keep it real. Everybody? All the time? Think about people you know who say, "They're ALL lying!" Sometimes that does happen. People get together and fabricate lies. That's group-think. But for a President of the United States to say, "Just remember, what you're hearing and seeing is not what's happening", and cry "fake news" EVERY DAY reveals a kind of narcissistic madness that usually only happens after a leader has been in power for years, after becoming isolated, entrenched, and paranoid. Trump came INTO office that way. If you suspected your spouse was cheating on you, and they said, "Just remember, what you're seeing and hearing is not what's happening", what would you think?

His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead.

  8717. 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.

Do you have any idea how many illegals Trump has hired over the years? Are you telling me he "made them citizens"? And he couldn't "make them citizens". I don't think he can even do that as president. You are either ignorant as hell or full of shit.

  8719. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  8726. In 2000, when the Court gave the Presidency to George Bush when it came down to a state where Bush's brother was governor, did Dems go nuts? Did they refuse to accept the results and start a smear campaign against Bush as "an excuse for a lost election"? When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election, did Dems go nuts? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

  8727. If you start with the premise that the entire mainstream media, the Democrats, and the "deep state" are all in cahoots to control everything, you also have to accept everything that would go along with that premise. It defies common sense. - You would have to believe that, despite all of their power, this "deep state" either allowed or couldn't stop the Republicans from having the power that they do. The deep state couldn't stop Trump from becoming president? The deep state allowed Republicans to control the Senate, the White House, and gain and have a Conservative majority on the Supreme Court? They also had the House for Trump's first two years. They literary controlled everything. - You would have to believe that the media outlets ALL get together and coordinate their message, even though they COMPETE with each other and live to expose facts. The "liberal" media and the deep state allow FOX News to exist? Really? - You would have to believe the president when he says almost everyone else is lying about him on an almost daily basis, even though he is a PROVEN habitual liar. Really? REALLY??

  8728. If it was up to me, this is what I would demand. (I THINK it's basically what the Dems want, but they haven't really put it out there in any detail): - A few billion for border security, PARTLY earmarked for PHYSICAL BARRIERS, and the rest for all else related to border security. (If Trump doesn't have the will or attention span to read, calculate, or hire people who can, he shouldn't be POTUS). - No "down payment" on a huge project costing tens of billions. Take it year by year. Barriers aren't skyscrapers. You can build them piece by piece without leaving anyone holding the bag, and the pieces are still effective. (This isn't some failed building project where half a casino is worth nothing). - An end to measures taken, since Trump took office, to block asylum seekers from seeking asylum. If he wants to call this a "humanitarian crisis", he can't be selective about who qualifies as human. - REAL protection for DACA recipients. I've got no problem with ending DACA, but honor the deal for those already in it. Don't keep them guessing or use them as pawns. DACA is merit-based. Amnesties work. Those opposed to any form of amnesty should get over it. Their situations are not their fault. (Even adults who cross illegally mostly do so to work for people who ILLEGALLY hire them. Share the blame). - Trump would have to sign a non-binding document stating that he'll work in GOOD FAITH to approach the immigration issue free of what is generally seen as xenophobic rhetoric and fear mongering. Good faith in getting accurate cost estimates, and being honest with the public about them. (I say "non-binding" because, let's be real, he'll sooner stick to that than actually get Mexico to pay for a wall. At least he'd be on record). Then, we reopen the government, "release the hostages" on BOTH SIDES, and then, the work BEGINS. We need comprehensive immigration reform. (GW Bush, a Texan, spoke better Spanish than English, and he couldn't do it). It should include an EFFICIENT path to citizenship, reform of drug laws - including demand side, lots of research, state-by-state federal fund allotment, technology, BARRIERS WHERE PRACTICAL, mutually beneficial US/Mexican economic policies...It's a huge thing. Unfortunately, Trump is a small, petty manchild with a big ego.

  8729. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

  8730. There are only two possible reasons the Obama Administration would have spied on the Trump campaign. 1)- To prevent his election, or 2)- To smear him in case he got elected. You can eliminate the first one. No information gathered by US intelligence was used during the campaign. The ONLY possibility would have been to smear Trump in case he won. That WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SENSE. Why would Clinton, with a 94% chance of winning, bother to prepare for that 6% chance? For a 6% chance, would Obama, FBI, and CIA officials in non-political agencies - most of whom were Republicans - risk their careers and their freedom? Would they engage in a MASSIVE conspiracy involving dozens of people across multiple agencies, right under the noses of Republicans among them, just to make Trump look bad? If the FBI was so desperate to ensure a Clinton victory, why did Comey re-open her email case and HURT her chances? Why DIDN'T he announce that there was a probe into Trump's possible ties to Russia? IT MAKES NO SENSE. The FBI was trying to safeguard the election from Russian attack. In the process, they uncovered many Trump campaign ties to the Russian government, WHICH THEY LIED ABOUT.

  8733. It's taking a long time, but Trump's base is going to turn away from him, and when people turn, they REALLY turn. W got two terms, but he left with about 30% approval, and came in with 58%. Trump has a dismal, rising disapproval rating, and will NEVER get his approval above 40. The majority hates him. He styles himself as an entertainer. Even the biggest actors and pop stars become overexposed. His show had lots of fans, but would they still have liked The Apprentice if they had to watch it every day? 87% of the public thinks the DACA kids should stay, including half of his base, and virtually all liberals. More than half of his base disapproved of both the failed Republican health care bill and the new tax law. With his DAILY doses of lying, offensive Tweets, displays of ineptitude, flip-flops, and Russia probe developments - that will NOT stop, the relatively reasonable half of his base will become as exhausted with his bullshit as the liberals. When that happens, Republican lawmakers will drop him like a bad habit. They have a decision to make for the upcoming mid-terms - stand by him or distance themselves. His base will turn, probably suddenly, maybe even without an identifiable specific cause. A little innocuous straw will break the camel's back... Or Mueller will throw down a "trump" card. Whatever happens, there is no way Trump will ever turn it around.

  8758. Consider the possibility that Trump won't be the nominee next year. Even if he isn't removed or resign in scandal, there's a lot more time for him to self destruct or for his base to simply get sick of his shit. W Bush got re-elected, but left with 28% approval. Republicans will start to notice that. There's a good chance Trump will be ousted by his own party. If his numbers take a dive early next year, they will primary him so they can keep power. They'll pull the old bait and switch, and have Dems - prepared to run against the devil they know - running against another Republican, who will have a good chance, because right-leaning independents will vote for "anyone but Trump". That's how we could wind up with Trump 2.0. A Republican who isn't a disrespectful, reckless, dumbass Twitter troll, but will have LEARNED from Trump about what they can get away with. Trump 2.0 will be just as crooked, and can get away with murder because the bar has been lowered so much.

  8766.  NPC Non Binary Demigender Pansexual Two Spirit  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

His lawyer set up two shell companies and committed bank fraud to get loans to pay it. Trump lied on his FEC disclosure, and it involved another lawyer and the editor of a tabloid that "caught and killed" the story. (The lawyer and the editor have been granted immunity in case they testify). Looks like simple and private got complicated and public. Some free love cost him $280,000 years later, and his wife found out he raw-dogged a porn star. Even after he beat Stormy Daniels' defamation suit, he only got back half of his legal fees, and now he's been implicated in two federal crimes. So much winning!

There's always an election around the corner, so they never want to risk losing by trying "radical" ideas like actually reaching out to voters when they can use the tried-and-true method of suppressing liberal votes - which means specifically targeting minorities who live in urban areas, which tend to vote Democrat. They might win that way, but they're still outnumbered, so they keep suppressing votes.

  8791. Don Jr. knew he was meeting with agents of the Kremlin. We know this from his emails. We also know the FBI had previously warned the Trump campaign about Russians trying to get to the campaign, yet Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". If all was on the up and up, why did Don Jr. change his story 3 TIMES IN 4 DAYS as the New York Times kept showing he was lying? If "nothing came from the meeting", (as if that matters), why were the DNC emails published "later in the summer", just as Don Jr. wanted? Why did Manafort offer to update a Russian oligarch on the campaign? Why was Kushner so hellbent on giving sanction relief to the Russians? COLLUSION, plain and simple. 1)- The Trump Tower meeting was about relieving the Magninsky Act sanctions. 2)- Kislyak attending the RNC Convention was about changing RNC platform language to favor Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 3)- Papadopoulos was seeking Clinton's "missing" emails...And it defies common sense to think Trump was unaware of the Trump Tower meeting.
    1
  8792. A Russian who helped Don Jr set up the Trump Tower meeting wrote in an email that it was about Russian "GOVERNMENT support for your father". Why would he write that, knowing US intel might see it? Blackmail. When Don Jr went along with it, the Russians then knew what we didn't. When Trump lied about having deals with Russia during the campaign, the Russians knew he was lying about the Trump Tower Moscow project. That could be used as blackmail. Acting AG, Sally Yates, tried to explain to Trump that Michael Flynn's intercepted conversations with the Russian ambassador about sanctions could be used as blackmail. Trump did not understand that. He didn't fire Flynn immediately. He resisted. He later fired Yates. James Comey tried to explain to Trump that a rumored "pee tape", IF it existed, could be used as blackmail. Trump did not understand that. He took offense to it. Then, he fired Comey. Now, we find out Trump has been hiding transcripts of his meetings with Putin - even from his own administration. No, he doesn't have to release those transcripts to the public. Yes, he has to KEEP A RECORD. There are good reasons why new Presidents release their tax returns and divest their businesses. Now, we have a President we know has had dealings with Russia, but we don't know much more than that. But the Russias know. You Trump followers need to wise up.

  8797. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

Ask Beto O'Rourke how his presidential bid went after saying guns should be confiscated. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I used to sell guns.

  8842. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  8848. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  8860. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  8861.  @ricopine303  - Well, if you did read it, you might get a clue about the facts. Do you realize how ridiculous that comment is? You're sure Mueller had no reason to investigate, but you refuse to become educated about the facts? Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring.

His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet no crime scene and no suspect. It's ridiculous.

Puddles 59 https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ Trump's 19,000+ Lies (To put it in perspective, by the same standard, Obama lied 143 times in 8 years). https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/01/president-trump-made-19127-false-or-misleading-claims-1226-days/%3foutputType=amp

  8866. I didn't like G.W. Bush's policies. I don't like Trump at all - policies or personality. Bush was the one people "wanted to have a beer with". Trump doesn't drink, but I'd have to drink to sit and listen to him. Other presidents tried to please everyone while knowing they couldn't. Trump likes to make his opponents miserable. If you didn't vote for him, he hates you. Bush made bad decisions, but wasn't unfit and unqualified. Others saw success as doing a good job. Trump thinks it was GETTING the job. They've all been arrogant, but Trump thinks he was somehow born wise. They've all lied, but Trump is an habitual liar who doesn't care what the truth is. While others would pride themselves on preparation and education, Trump feels inadequate if he has to prepare or doesn't know something. He is a true narcissist and a vengeful sociopath.

The media compete with each other for MONEY by way of SENSATIONALISM. If they don't do it, their competition will. They aren't beholden to a political party. Red or blue, their money is all green.

  8875. YouTube Censored - That's why you can't buy alcohol before the polls close on election day. But that was because people were giving whiskey to get them to go to the polls. It's different if it's water and the voter is already there.

  8879. J M - The moderators didn't do that, though. It was PBS, and they probably weren't paying too much attention to her. That's why she barged into the conversation whenever two other candidates started to bicker. She needed to raise her profile, and that was smart strategy.

  8880. - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  8889. 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..?

  8906. Trump is desperate to keep a job he has no interest in doing. He's in his 70s and has more money than he could ever spend for the remainder of his life, but wants to spend his golden years working in a government he thinks is crooked among crooked people. He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.

  8911. Obama never illegally used a "spy" in the Trump camp. The Trump camp, however, tried (possibly succeeded) in using Russian spies to sink the Clinton campaign. IF the DOJ and/or US intelligence ever used informants, wiretaps, etc. to look into Trump's campaign, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING! It would have meant that there was reason to believe they were working with the Russians to undermine our election and steal power, nimrods! There is a process. There are judges who issue those warrants. But let me guess - the judges were "deep state operatives"? That's ridiculous, ignorant, and paranoid. All of those people, no matter what political views, from non-political agencies, all in the service of electing Hillary Clinton - a candidate even liberals weren't crazy about?? Yeah, the "deep state" is all liberal. That's why the conservatives are in power half the time. They're so powerful, yet they couldn't stop an unpopular, inexperienced, controversial guy like Trump from getting elected. The all-powerful "deep state" couldn't rig the election successfully? Dig up any more on him BEFORE the election than a tape about grabbing pussy? Couldn't pull off this conspiracy without defeating their own purpose by leaking their own party's emails? Comey, the guy who ended up HELPING TRUMP WIN, was all in for Clinton?? Man, some people are fucking STUPID!

  8913. Within about a week's time, Donald Trump mocked a former FBI lawyer he'd been bad-mouthing for 2 years by making sex noises, verbally attacked a 16-year-old girl who is only fighting for a clean environment, and suggested that a grieving widow's deceased husband was in hell. That last one was also full of lies. He railed against keeping flags at half staff for John McCain. He attacked a Muslim, gold star mother. He mocked a handicapped journalist. These were all because those people dared to oppose him in the slightest ways. Need I explain why we, on the left, have concerns about that petty, vindictive jackass being leader of the free world?

  8914. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  8915.  @Alamyst2011  It absolutely points to collusion, and you prove my point about you people's hypocrisy. You know damn well if it was Obama or Clinton and their people who did what Trump and his people did, you'd want their heads on pikes. Nobody reasonable would disagree that an investigation was warranted.

  8916.  @Alamyst2011  The DOJ and FBI absolutely were not caught covering for her. As a matter if fact, Comey HURT her chances. You people are delusional. Know who also used private email for business? Jarred and Ivanka. And Trump uses an unsecured cell phone.

  8918. Why are people upset about the US "selling our uranium to Russia"? Is it about the word, "uranium"? To the willfully ignorant, uranium=nuclear bombs. (SMH). They think Hillary somehow ceded our nuclear capability to Russia. Isn't their beef with Dems that they don't trust Russia, and secretly want WWIII? We DON'T trust Putin, and NOBODY wants WWIII. Russia has LEGALLY had the bomb for decades. They have plenty of uranium mines. So do we. There's no shortage of it for either of us. Both the US and Russia have +/- 5000 nuclear warheads. It only takes a SMALL amount of uranium to make a HYDROGEN bomb, which is today's technology. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. The uranium they're talking about is not weapons grade. It is not "bomb-ready" right out of the ground. Uranium One is a MINING company. The deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, that can produce up to 20% of uranium from US mines. No uranium was moved ANYWHERE. The advisory board consists of 9 US and 5 Canadian agencies, and was lead by a REPUBLICAN. Bribing ONE agency, the US State Dept, to do something ALL 13 OTHER AGENCIES were going to do anyway, MAKES NO SENSE! Get it? If anything, Hillary would have been the only one trying to STOP the deal. It was a routine thing. The allegation, I guess, is that Hillary took a bribe from someone, (A Russian agent? I don't know. This has NEVER made any sense), who wanted to...do what? Can any of you Uranium One idiots even explain your "case"? The alleged "briber" didn't have any stake in the company at the time. Get it? Where's the motive? He would have had to bribe 13 other agencies. They ALL approved the deal. Only the President was allowed to veto it. Going after Hillary, and not Obama, shows the ignorance. They're barking up the wrong branch on the wrong tree. Here's why some routine deal from before 2012 became a thing - OBAMA WASN'T RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016. HILLARY WAS! It's all Republican political bullshit. I'd say these are just a bunch of Russian trolls pushing this bullshit on Twitter and YouTube, but Republican Senators are parroting this crap, and Trump has held a 39% approval rating for two years, no matter what. Even Trump's own, incoming AG dismissed the Uranium One thing as bullshit. Do facts not matter anymore?

There is also video of Trump from a few years back saying that illegals who have been living and working here for some time should be allowed to stay. That's from when he employed them at the Trump Organization. And I'm not a socialist.

  8922. 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, the Wikileaks release of hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he'd communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both Trump and Paul Manafort deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did it without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Cause suspicion yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

  8937. 1)- Only 51 votes were needed to avoid a shutdown without any new spending. 2)- 5 Dems crossed over, and 4 Republicans crossed over - That destroys the argument that it was all the Dems fault. 3)- Trump rescinded DACA on his own, and said the reason was only because it was by executive order and not legislated through Congress. He could have asked Congress to pass it as it was, problem solved. He CLEARLY took DACA hostage to use it as leverage. 4)- Trump could have ended DACA, but grandfathered-in those who were ALREADY in the program, and let them stay. (Mr. "Art of the Deal" doesn't know rule #1 of deal making - DON'T BREAK A DEAL!) There would have been very little Democratic resistance to that. 5)- "They have until March 5th. No hurry". Really? If you were suddenly told you today that you have six weeks to move or be evicted, would you think, "No sweat"? How about if that meant, not only having to find a new place, but to find one IN A STRANGE COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN? You're in college. You don't speak the language, know nothing about the culture, the city, etc., and you have to get a truck, find a home, maybe find a storage unit in Guatemala! 6)- McConnell himself said he couldn't even figure out what Trump wants. 7)- A deal was all but done before Trump made the most racist, insulting statement any president has made since the Civil Rights Movement. "How is putting America first racist"? Give me a break! I'd say it's politics 101 that you don't say things like that, but it wouldn't even have to be put in the fucking 101 textbook. - And Trump contradicted himself saying it was because he wanted "merit based" immigration. It is CLEARLY based on nationality to say "take them (Haitians) out", and to say you don't want to even look at the merits of Haitians and Africans! Duh. 8)- Trump said he would sign whatever the people in that meeting came up with, then flip-flopped and demanded funding for a wall he still says he wants Mexico to pay for and won't even say how Mexico will reasonably reimburse us. Holy shit, go try to get a loan from a bank talking like that, and see where it gets you! "How will I pay back this huge loan? Well, this dude, Frank owes me a bunch of money. He says he doesn't, and he really doesn't, but I have ways to nickel and dime it out of him to make my payments to you".!?!?

  8938. Democrats and media need to focus on Trump's LYING, and make that a central issue. Trump lies even more in his campaign speeches than he usually does.

Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent.

It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  8953. @doof goobins - The points in your post that aren't complete nonsense are false talking points. What about those grants? What are you saying was done wrong?

  8955. @doof goobins ... You still haven't named one single lie he supposedly told. Naming subjects doesn't cut it. What, specifically, did he say that you think is false. Not changing recommendations, which was bound to happen with a novel virus. Not his vagary. I would agree he should be choosing his words more deliberately and clarify that NIH is different from CDC and especially talking heads in the media. A lot of that, though, is people not comprehending the situation or really listening. They underestimate how easily the public can be confused. That's why I think he is overexposed and needs to have NIH spokespeople do the rounds on TV and be clear that they're speaking for him and the NIH. But he isn't a liar. He didn't singlehandedly fund the Wuhan lab as if he unilaterally made the decision and wrote a personal check. Would you rather they do the research on deadly pathogens in the US, far from the source and dangerous to Americans? You probably don't realize how bad you are being manipulated by the far right. And it's just a very vocal, small minority on the right who are being amplified by Republicans and FOX News (which just made a ridiculous suggestion that the new variant was invented by Democrats). Close to 80% of Americans have gotten at least one dose. It isn't Fauci, the scientist, who is messing with your heads. It's Republicans who are not scientists, but politicians doing it for political gain.

  8960. The reason we have Trump is because people voted for him based on his TV presense, and not having the right expertise. Avanatti, Oprah..., forget it. If you want a celebrity, try to draft someone like Bill Maher to run. A lot closer to the mark, but still, no. Of course, because of the orange haired ape thing Maher did to avenge Obama, and his mass celebrity appeal, and his dislike of PC talk, Maher could probably appeal to some 2016 Trump voters. Still, we'd be better off with who would have become POTUS in 2016 if not for things going wrong - Joe Biden!

  8966. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.6 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're advanced enough to design spacecraft versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

Almost everything else he did was an egregious failure, and the vaccine distribution plan was bad. Trump lied and politicized to the point it was arguably negligent homicide. I don't see how pointing out whataboutism is uncalled for a month later. H1N1 simply wasn't as contagious or widespread. It was contained and controlled to the point where a vaccine wasn't nearly as necessary. No doubt that big pharma opposed it, as it wouldn't have been profitable to them. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure H1N1 wasn't Spanish flu. I think it was swine flu.

  8994. It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival. The Clinton email thing has been adjudicated. The 2016 election is over, and it is a FACT that the Russians interfered in Trump's favor. The Biden non-issue has been looked into by TWO prosecutors in Ukraine, not to mention it was the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for that was under suspicion, not Hunter Biden, and not his father. On the other hand, 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts during the election. Trump lied about pending deals in Moscow, in a country that was actively trying to get him elected. Trump's top people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump still refuses to admit Russia even interfered, and he's still doing all he can to lift sanctions imposed on them for that very interference. In 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to interfere, and after all of the problems that caused, he is doing it AGAIN. This isn't a "deep state" conspiracy. Trump's wounds are self-inflicted, and he is BEGGING to be probed and impeached.

Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner?

When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election, did Dems go nuts? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired.

First of all, the numbers reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won. Second, they were within the margin of error. Third, ALL POLLS - CNN, FOX, Gallup... ALL were roughly the same. Do people really think ALL of these polls putting Trump around 37% are off by, what, 30 points?!?! Fourth, do any of you Trump fools think maybe the fact Trump won despite the odds may be an indicator of Russian involvemea? ... And fifth, what even would be the POINT of faking a poll? To look inaccurate in the end? Do you people think people just want to be on the winning side so much they will only vote for the most popular candidate? It doesn't make sense!

  9014. Wanting the government to be involved in what the government exists for doesn't make you a communist. Wanting sensible gun laws does not mean you're out to confiscate everyone's guns to usher-in a communist dictatorship. Wanting to do something about climate change, aka pollution, doesn't mean you want to destroy the economy. Wanting to end police brutality and systemic racism in law enforcement does not make you a Marxist who wants to burn down cities. Being wrong about some aspects of a pandemic you don't know much about yet does not make everything you say about it wrong, and it definitely doesn't mean you lied about it deliberately as part of some treasonous, communist plot. Objecting to a president who lies all the time, doesn't seem to know what he is doing, and raises serious, legitimate concerns about his dealings with foreign adversaries does not mean you "just hate him no matter what, and you're just out to get him." Wanting to balance border security with human decency and common sense doesn't mean you want open borders so you can register illegal immigrants to vote for your party. Wanting to end a pandemic by hindering the spread of a virus doesn't mean you hate freedom.

Trump and his lawyers are latching onto this "It was free speech" argument, which is more of Trump trying to try this in the court of public opinion, the political arena, because only winning reelection can save his ass. He doesn't want people thinking at all about obstruction. He always wants to boil it down to one issue - one "perfect" call or only what he said during one speech on 1/6. It's the "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" strategy. Reasonable doubt about one single thing.

If you didn't vote for him, he hates you. Bush made bad decisions, but wasn't unfit and unqualified. Others saw success as doing a good job. Trump thinks it was GETTING the job. They've all been arrogant, but Trump thinks he was somehow born wise. They've all lied, but Trump is an habitual liar who doesn't care what the truth is.

This is to exploit divisions within the party, and to take focus from the top four candidates who are RUNNING AGAINST HIM, and who are beating him in the polls. By using xenophobic and racist comments, he stirs up his base and paints his real challengers as radicals at the same time. Division between the left and right halves of the Democratic party means there are more ideas to argue. I'll take that over those lock-step, homogeneous, one-trick pony, Trump sycophant Republicans.

By the way, FOX News isn't really right wing media. It's ALTERNATIVE media. It's like standing to the right of fifteen people, then saying they are on the left, and the center is halfway to them.

  9052. Trump takes seriously "what a lot of people are talking about." What "people are talking about" to him is largely what he reads on Twitter. He blocks those who disagree with him, and they talk about what he puts out there. That's a hell of a feedback loop! He can promote a conspiracy theory on Twitter. The Twitterverse talks about it. FOX News and Russian trolls talk about it. Then, it must have validity because "a lot of people are saying." It's ironic that the MAGA crowd goes on and on about brainwashing, bias, lying, and propaganda. It's projection on steroids.

  9055. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He COMPLAINS ALL THE TIME! He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. Trump complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL lampooning him. Imagine that. SNL doing sattire about the President. He is a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! We're talking about a man who stated that he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? Is this acceptable from a US President? How about if that President was Obama, Clinton, or a Democrat? What would conservatives say then?

The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

So, he trusts the reporting of news media he constantly calls fake and inaccurate, and trusts their reporting enough to neglect the proper vetting process to save money? It's the kind of utter NONSENSE that flies from his mouth every day. How on earth do his supporters take him seriously??

  9083. Trump thought choosing a campaign chairman who would divide his own party was a good idea (Divide yourself and be conquered? Smart). Trump might have met his match when it comes to someone with a vengeful nature who doesn't think things through. I think the Trump team lost control over their Russia scheme a long time ago. They just didn't realize it. They were too busy stroking their hard-ons over getting into power. I think Mueller's "trump" card will wind up being some intelligence/evidence gathered early on in the probe. Mueller is just dotting his i's and crissing his t's. If you're going to make a case against an elected official, it has to be thorough because it's the people who put them in power. I think when this is all over, only the extremely stupid among Trump followers will deny his guilt - of obstruction, conspiracy, and probably money laundering and abuse of power.

  9089. I'm white. I support the BLM cause, and I have a few suggestions for them: 1)- Messaging is everything. Arnold Swartzenegger said that in raising awareness about global warming, he found that more people listen when he said "pollution" rather than "climate change," which has become a partisan political term. "Black Lives Matter" is a bad name for a just cause. BLM should target mainstream, conservative Whites. You already have the liberals, and you'll never convince full-on racists. You need the support of Whites who are kind of racist, but don't feel that way - the "I'm not racist. I have a black friend and voted for Obama" crowd. Those are the conservatives who see riots at BLM rallies and think, "Black lives? ALL lives matter. See, THEY'RE the REAL racists." That led to "All Lives Matter" becoming a racial trope. How about "Lives Matter" or "Civilian Lives Matter"? Bad cops shoot MORE whites because there are more of them, though they shoot unarmed Blacks at 3 times the rate. Whites need to know that they might get unjustly shot and beaten, too. 2)- Reject extremism. Extreme liberals made "ALL Lives Matter" a racial trope. They alienate the very mainstream, conservative Whites you should be targeting. They think, "All I said was that ALL lives matter, and that makes me a racist? They're the real racists!" and they stop listening. 3)- Were street protests the best way to get your message across during a pandemic while the internet was ubiquitous? Yes, you've got to show that you're mad as hell. In 2016, I was disappointed when no Dems even brought up the epidemic of bad police shootings. During a simple traffic stop on a crowded street in broad daylight, a Black man riding with his girl and a baby told a cop he had a gun and a permit, and still got blown away. BLM could have reached MORE people with a good online campaign and gotten just as much press coverage without right-wingers saying "They burned-down cities and spread Covid!" Then, they minimized the Capitol coup attempt as just another riot when it was totally different. How about official BLM-sponsored protests during the day, in the park, before sundown? There would have been bigger crowds. It's harder for thugs to hijack a protest at noon when it's full of families and kids in strollers eating hot dogs. At night, looters show up like flies at a picnic, and the good people get blamed.

  9099. I've said it a million times, and I'll say it again - POLITICIANS ARE NOT ROCK STARS. Can Trump act? Can he dance? Can he deliver a joke? Play guitar? Sing? Do you want your mother's heart surgeon to be an "ordinary good-ole' boy" just like you? I want the brooding public servant who needs half a Xanax and half a bottle of Maalox to fall asleep at night. The old guy who doesn't give a shit how tanned he looks on TV. I realize we have trust issues with politicians. We should. They're generally a lying bunch of assholes. But we've traded bad for worse with Trump. I blame the media - for their sensationalism - not for their FACT-CHECKING. We are seeing what could be the beginning of the end of an empire. It doesn't have to be that way. It will be Russia that takes over in its wake, and no, the Russians will not give two shits about Trump "getting along" with them. They'll take the world back 100 years, and the whole thing will start over again. But you won't see it, because you'll be dead.

From NBC News: "It was unclear what the White House was basing its legal argument on; the congressional rules manual leaders typically follow makes no mention of a vote being required, and there is no constitutional requirement for such an action. A White House spokesman declined to comment." It's common sense. You don't take a vote before an inquiry, and you need documents to conduct an inquiry.

And if you think Americans would support repealing the 4th Amendment in order to confiscate guns rather than just cease to make and sell them, you are clinically paranoid. No lawmaker who is taken seriously supports its repeal. It would be political suicide. Obama never supported it. Clinton never supported it. It's just an NRA scare tactic.

  9108. dt05 - And that's some twisted logic to say the 2nd Amendment says citizens should have the right to whatever weapons the military has, and at the age soldiers were at the time. I guess that means 15 year olds have the right to posess nuclear bombs now?

  9120. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

It is a percent chance of an outcome. It's absurd! Think lottery. Think weather report. Think horse racing. It's called a long shot! And those polls WERE ACCURATE! First of all, the numbers reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won. Second, they were within the margin of error. Third, ALL POLLS - CNN, FOX, Gallup... ALL were roughly the same. Do people really think ALL of these polls putting Trump around 37% are off by, what, 30 points?!?! Fourth, do any of you Trump fools think maybe the fact Trump won despite the odds may be an indicator of Russian involvemea? ... And fifth, what even would be the POINT of faking a poll? To look inaccurate in the end? Do you people think people just want to be on the winning side so much they will only vote for the most popular candidate? It doesn't make sense! And wouldn't CNN, if they were faking it, want to LOWER the number so people wouldn't think it was already a lock and NOT VOTE? Trump defenders have no common sense!

  9128. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

(Steve Bannon gives him a much higher chance of that). If he's impeached, I'd say there's a 30% chance he'll beat it. I'm worried he'll suppress the impending Mueller Report by replacing Sessions and/or Rosenstein with a loyalist. But if he beats impeachment, Republicans will almost certainly put up a primary challenger. If, somehow, he actually gets a second term, he'll have a snowball's chance in hell of finishing it out. By year 5, his approval rating will be below 25%, and he'll drown in scandal.

  9145. dread death - Don Lemon was being ridiculous, but all the nephew was trying to say was that LABELING someone a racist is not helpful, and he was right. Unless they're a member of a hate group, you're never going to definitively prove someone is a racist. It's like when someone says, "Are you calling me a liar?" What does that mean, "a liar"? You're saying they're lying about the issue at hand. Is Steve Bannon "officially" a racist? His supporters would argue until the 5th of never that you have to "prove it", but if you call your publication "the platform for the alt-right", and say you're not racist, it's like saying, "I'm not a Klan member, but I host their meetings at my house". Trump repeatedly says and does racist things, He is a policy maker, so he is more dangerous than some backwoods Klan hick. Don't let him and his supporters rope you into arguing the technicalities of each lie and accusation. There is a clear pattern of Russian collusion around him, but his followers argue that each one technically doesn't prove to be criminal beyond a doubt. Yes, that definitely has to be proven in court, but to say there isn't basis for suspicion is absurd. Unfounded suspicion is certainly enough for those hypocrites to conclude Clinton is guilty of fraud and high treason - even without evidence and usually with provably false information. Don't fall into Trumpers' transactional traps. There are undeniable patterns.

  9147.  @darrenthomas4922  Absolutely false. In 2016, Obama did a LOT to address the Russian meddling. He confronted Putin directly. He prepared for an attack on election day with cyber bombs ready to go. He expelled Russian diplomats. US intel had a code-named operation. Read the LONG article in the Washington Post about it. Trump refuses to do ANYTHING about it. And Obama ended the war in Iraq.

  9150. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words. He uses the words, "nationalism" and "alien" for a reason. He could clearly use other words. Let's assume for a moment that Trump is not a race-baiter. The racial hate groups, ALL of which are on the right, insist he supports them. Whether he does or not, that is the MESSAGE they get, and Trump sure seems more than happy to let that continue. Save your whataboutism. I'm no fan of Antifa, it isn't a racial hate group, and the best whataboutism can do is to assert that two wrongs make a right.

Yes, Democrats should address racial equality, but without tearing each other down with suspicions of racism. None of the Dem candidates are racist. Donald Trump is a racist who advocates racist policies. Keep things in perspective, or the ACTUAL DANGEROUS RACIST might remain in office.

Look at how he handled Charlottesville. The National Policy Institute was saying "Hail Trump" while imitating the Nazi salute in Washington, right after his election. RACIAL HATE GROUPS SAY TRUMP SUPPORTS THEM! What's he doing about it? Don't tell me he denounced them. Apparently not strongly enough. If he spent a fraction of the time he spends on Twitter saying he doesn't speak for them as he does spewing bigoted garbage, they might get the message.

Why not just make it "labturd"? What would THAT mean? Well, "lab" is the first syllable in labia, which is part of a pussy, and you think liberals are pussies, right? Do you dimwits get it? Of course not. Your brains are so occupied trying to make up childish nicknames that you have no free brain cells left to understand much of anything, much less politics, history, or media. I used to think most YouTube-trolling imbeciles were either 16-years-old and too young to really know anything, or paid Russian trolls. But that doesn't square with the fact that the average FOX News viewer is 68, Russian nationals can't legally vote in the US, and Donald Trump has a solid 40% approval base. It must be that Trump is truly a powerful leader - of Cult 45. Now, that's a clever nickname.

  9180. Trump's racist history Notice the legal judgements and direct quotes that he has said publicly and admits to saying. Before you Trump followers say, "What about Biden?" I'll say that any reasonable person can see that the unintended consequences of the '94 crime bill - that Biden admits was a mistake - and Biden's few, well-intended, awkward racial gaffes don't even start to compare to Trump's racist history, for which he is unapologetic. If you use whataboutism and say "Dems are the racists who started the Klan," I'll point out 1)- How long ago that was. 2)- Dems always get around 90% of the black vote. 3)- Literally every racial hate group in America supports Republican politicians and candidates. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

Trump's own daughter and son in law have been caught doing the same thing. YOU are in a bubble if you ignore all of the PROBABLE CAUSE for the Russias probes. Trump and 16 of his associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Trump lied about Trump Tower Moscow. You don't see the danger in that?? His people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegal dirt for sanction relief. Are you just going to ignore that? Oh, THAT shouldn't be looked into, but a few text messages that lead nowhere are proof of a deep state conspiracy involving the FBI, CIA, White House, and the Clinton campaign? A grand jury will "indict a ham sandwich", but won't indict McCabe. Why not? Because he did nothing illegal. The "witch hunt" is being perpetrated by Trump and the Republicans. Nothing came out of those House hearings against any of them, and you people can't let it go.

This is NOT about some FISA warrant on a suspicious character. It did NOT start the probe. You should wonder about why TRUMP AND 16 OF HIS ASSOCIATES LIED ABOUT THEIR RUSSIAN CONTACTS. Russia, not France, not Mexico. Russia. The country that attacked our election to help Trump win. Common sense, please!

They couldn't stop Trump from becoming president? They allowed Republicans to control the Senate, the White House, and to have a Conservative majority on the Supreme Court? - You'd have to believe that the media outlets ALL get together and coordinate their message, even though they COMPETE with each other and live to expose facts. The "liberal" media and the deep state allow FOX News to exist? Really? - You'd have to believe Trump when he says almost everyone else is lying about him on an almost daily basis, even though he is a PROVEN habitual liar. Really?

  9206. Beaulin Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  9215. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  9217. To say Trump was tougher on Russia than any other President is laughable. Obama sanctioned them for invading Ukraine. Exxon/Mobile, a US oil company, could have made a $500 billion deal with a Russian oil company, but Putin invaded Ukraine, so Obama stopped the deal. Trump has been trying to LIFT sanctions. Mnuchin is trying to lift them on a Russian oligarch tied to the election meddling. The heat is on, yet they persist? Blackmail? Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was tougher on Russia than anyone. That's why Putin wanted her out of the running. Nobody can say Reagan was soft on them. Nobody has been easier on them than Trump.

She does good work in the Senate. She gave good answers last night. We need a centrist who isn't too old, and since Kamala Harris dropped out, that's Amy Klobuchar. I've been hoping she'd raise her profile for a while now.

People are always commenting that CNN is pushing WHOEVER they report as leading in a poll, winning a debate, or simply appears on their network. She simply did well in this debate. That's it. There's no "narrative". Their editorial department will eventually endorse a candidate. Then, maybe you can say they are pushing one.

  9227. I wonder what they found in Cohen's office. Just musing here, but what if they found half a kilo of coke in a desk drawer? Maybe some scales? A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police!" He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us? Trump is using the OJ Simpson defense - "You can't PROVE I DID IT because the lead detective was a racist and I'm black". I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

  9239. First, there was a counterintelligence probe to look into Russia. Not necessarily Trump/Russia, but Russia's election meddling. That lead to Trump. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" But it turned out that Trump and 16 of his associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Trump's son and top people had met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump lied about pursuing a Trump Tower Moscow deal that required the approval of Putin, the very person who was attacking our election to get Trump elected. That is PROBABLE CAUSE for a probe. Trump refused to acknowledge the FBI and CIA findings about Russia. He oddly cozied up to Putin and worked to lift sanctions on them. Then, he fired the FBI Director, and said it was over the Russia probe. That's what started the Mueller probe. There was probable cause for the FISA warrant on Carter Page, and a judge agreed. Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm. Its findings were not obtained from a foreign government, there was no quid pro quo, and the findings were not shared with the Clinton campaign. Christopher Steele reported it to the FBI because he found them so alarming.

These are not elites controlling everything from an ivory tower or a secret Skull and Bones bunker underground. They are a bunch of out of touch, screw-up politicians and bad strategists.

  9244. - 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.

  9245. A mis-characterisation of a single detail in one of many, many reports filed by a 24 hour news channel is not proof of a lie. It's not even proof that the reporter made a mistake. Ever consider that's what the source told him? It is certainly not evidence that the entire mainstream news media is lying to us all the time. It is ABSURD to assert that it is when defending a president who LIES CONSTANTLY. I remember when Trump first took office and told the press corp that if THEY expected HIM to get "every little fact right", he would just stop having daily press conferences. I bet you FOX News, Trump sycophants don't remember that, do you?

  9249. Neither the FBI counterintelligence probe, nor the Mueller probe was illegal or political. There was plenty of probable cause for both. It's so hypocritical for Trump loyalists to say, with NO probable cause or proof, that "Clinton sold uranium to Russia...Clinton colluded with Russia...The Clintons ran a hit squad...Strzok and Page were part of a deep state conspiracy..," yet when there is real suspicion surrounding Trump, and when he and 16 of his people were caught LYING about 140 Russian contacts, it's not only NOT cause for suspicion, but it's TREASON to investigate it! WHAT?!? There is no deep state conspiracy. If you think the DNC, the media, the FBI and the CIA are somehow in cahoots to take down Trump, you are hopelessly ignorant.

  9250. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

THAT is colluding with a foreign power to steal an election. No, Biden is not wanted in Ukraine, and Trump called Ukraine "crooked", so are you telling me it's on the level for a US President to try to get an upstanding US citizen sent to a crooked country to face trial? Stop believing those ridiculous conspiracy theories. You people are ridiculous. The media set the record straight, and you just say they're in on it. Even when Republicans don't go along with it, you people just say they're in on it, too. It's ridiculous. There have been many, many CREDIBLE allegations of wrongdoing by Trump and Giuliani. Trump had more crooks in his circle than literally any other president, but I suppose that was a set-up by the "deep state", too, huh? You are displaying your incredible degree of ignorance here.

Pure political theater. Wanna see Jim squirm?

  9266. MSM critics, stop attacking the messenger. Yes, they use narratives. They do it to make sense of the raw facts for you. Everything isn't politics. They don't work for the DNC or the "deep state". They work for ratings to get sponsors, so they sensationalize to get your attention. That doesn't mean they're lying. If they were, their competitors would call THEM out to take their ratings and sponsors. Competition is a cornerstone of capitalism. MSM want big, corporate sponsorship, so why would they be pushing far-left socialism? You "fake news" parrots haven't thought this through. Think of it as fast food, but instead of burgers, they sell information. They have to offer a quality product faster than the other guys. CNN is the McDonalds of news. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. It's not gourmet, but it does the job. If you don't want a lot of garnish, watch PBS, but you'll get the same FACTS that CNN reports. FOX News can't pass the health inspection. It has no competitors. It labeled MSM "liberal" simply by standing to the right of the them, and pretending it isn't also mainstream media. FOX News isn't conservative. It's ALTERNATIVE media. It's up to YOU to know the difference between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. The term, "fake news" is designed to blur those differences, and to make you think opinions are outright lies. Do you MSM critics who cry "BIAS!" even realize how biased YOU are?

  9305. Trump says he didn't try to fire Mueller, but he won't say that to Mueller. If the White House lawyer (who threatened to resign) and at least 3 other people who sourced the story say otherwise and Mueller corroborates that, Trump can either commit perjury or plead the 5th. A reminder - this came out days after we found out Christopher Wray, Trump's own pick to replace Comey, threatened to resign because Trump wanted to fire Comey's deputy. Trump also denies knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting, the Republican party platform change, and Flynn's sanction talk with the Russian ambassador. Same thing - If others say otherwise, perjury or the 5th.

  9306. Alfred Newman - Republicans just added $1.5 trillion to the deficit to give it to the 1% under the false premise it will trickle down. Not the debt - the budget deficit - which turns into debt. And they want to investigate the investigators. Oh, yeah, fiscally responsible.

  9308. No, it's Trump who accuses others of doing what he does, and it's A LOT of things. Colluding with foreign governments, lack of transparency, lying, lacking plans, betraying his country, incompetence, racism, senility, playing too much golf, being radical...I could go on for an hour.

  9309. Democrats, do you need a talking point? Media, do you need a good narrative? Ask this question to every MAGA Republican: "Get real. If a Democrat did it, would you take the same position?" If Biden was indicted on campaign finance charges..? If Obama summoned a mob to the Capitol? If Bill Clinton had stolen classified documents, refused to return them, and asserted they were his property..? If Kamala Harris said she can simply give Biden and herself a second term no matter what the election results are..? If Biden told more lies BY FAR than any other president..? If Al Gore made a call like the one Trump made to Raffensberger..? Warned of "death and destruction..? ANYTHING controversial that Trump has done and said in political life. There are literally THOUSANDS of examples. WHY DO WE NEVER HEAR THAT? Get them all on record reacting to those questions!

  9311. Ed Maphis - Bill Clinton didn't say, "I like guys who weren't captured" or "Avoiding VD was my personal Vietnam". Clinton didn't weigh-in on a pending case like this, then do THE SAME THING AGAIN with the terrorist in NYC after surely being told that by calling for the death penalty, you will cause that to NOT happen. Bill Clinton didn't upset war widows with insensitivity and then LIE about what he said to her.

  9312. Dems have good ideas and policies, but they suck at messaging. Republicans have horrible ideas and policies, but they're great at messaging. RESTRUCTURING police departments is good. Chanting "DEFUND" is stupid. Dems say, "But 'defund' really means restructure." Then call it RESTRUCTURE! "Black lives matter really means all lives matter." Then call it ALL LIVES MATTER! Did they really think the right would NOT respond with, "What about white lives and blue lives? See. BLM members are the REAL racists!" Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you say "climate change", people tune out, but call it "pollution", and people listen. Pollution is a problem that demands practical discussion. The term, "climate change" has become a weapon in a culture war. You can't demand an immediate end to racism. You CAN demand an immediate end to policies conducive to police brutality. Police brutality should be the focus. Racism, brutality and pollution shouldn't even be left/right issues in the first place. So why have they become that way? Because it's a Republican tactic. Culture wars divide, and there is nothing Republicans want more. That's why they love Donald Trump and put up with his lies, ineptitude, corruption, and childish crap. It helps them politically. Wake up.

  9313. Trump has basically said that money trumps morals and security. Even when he was campaigning, he said, "The Saudis buy my real estate. Why wouldn't I be friends with them?" Trump followers - how does it feel knowing you elected a President who shamelessly says he has a price?

  9319. 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.

The task force is SUPPRESSING scientific information. That is a FACT. We KNOW what Trump's position is - that the virus is not a problem, and it will just go away. The Tulsa rally? The church in Arizona? Either you know this and won't admit it, or you are dumb as dog droppings.

  9337. MSM bashers - When the media says, "Michael Cohen is fiercely loyal to Trump", it is based on one statement - "I would take a bullet for him". That's a narrative. (They have to have a narrative. It's how you report a story). You can take or leave the narrative. However, it is a FACT that Cohen did say it. You can't just take or leave that. Get it? Don't accept Trump's new definition of "fake" as meaning false. It's how the line gets blurred. Fake means false. "Fake news" means it's an imposter outlet and/or a lie. BIASED means biased. If you don't like the narrative, ignore it. If you don't like the facts, deal with it. Editorial is not fact. What a guest says ON CNN is not a statement BY CNN. You want discussion panels to represent differing opinions, right? Well, then someone on the panel is going to say something you don't agree with. Learn something about what you're bashing. YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are "drinking the Kool-aid". Stop thinking you have healthy skepticism and a sense for who is bullshitting you. If you trust Trump, you are not a good judge of character. If "fake news", is your mantra, YOU are so much more biased than the news media ever could be.

  9349. The reason for GOP voter suppression tactics is that there are more of us than them, so high turnout favors Dems. Minorities are reliably more likely to vote Dem, so it doesn't take a statistician to figure out their motive. There's an easy solution - Vote. - Make sure before election day that they haven't purged your eligibility on some technicality. - Make sure they haven't removed your local drop box. - Make sure you have ID if they require it. In most states, you can register to vote at the DMV. - If you vote by mail, return your ballot ASAP in case the GOP tries to slow the mail again or remove your local mailbox at the last minute. - Clear your schedule for election day. - Dress for the weather forecast. Bring an umbrella in case the GOP makes the line longer and routs it outdoors. - Bring snacks and soft drinks. If you need a lot of weed to wait in a long line, bring extra snacks and soft drinks. - Wear a diaper in case the GOP tries to deny access to a restroom or sabotage the toilets, but whatever you do, VOTE!

  9355. Remember, during the Clinton impeachment, when Republicans kept insisting that character matters? Remember when Howard Dean sunk his campaign by making a funny noise at a rally? Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  9363. Should these things not arouse suspicion? -- Trump said, "Russia, if you're listening..." -- 16 Trump associates made 140 contacts with Russians regarding the election. ALL except Roger Stone denied it until confronted, then said there was nothing wrong with it. (So, why lie?) Stone bragged about being in touch with Assange and Guccifer 2.0. (The very people who hacked the DNC and released the emails). -- Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade stolen information on their opponent for sanction relief. -- 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 had lost a $500 billion oil deal with a Russian oil company when the US sanctioned Russia for its illegal invasion of Ukraine. Trump fired Tillerson the day after he publicly criticized Putin. -- Trump's campaign requested a change in the RNC platform to benefit Russia against Ukraine. -- Papadopoulos suggested a meeting with the Russians. -- Trump pursued a real estate deal in Moscow, and lied about it. It was a deal that required approval from Putin, who was attacking our election to help Trump. Conflict of interest and blackmail potential at the highest levels. -- Paul Manafort offered to give briefings on the campaign to Russia. 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 and FBI. -- Kushner met with a SANCTIONED Russian bank to trade sanction relief for personal favors and to set up a back channel to the Kremlin - to get around US intelligence. -- Michael Flynn told the Russians not to retaliate for sanctions imposed on them for the very election interference meant to help elect Trump. -- Both Michael Flynn and Carter Page traveled to Moscow to make speeches disparaging US policy. Flynn lied about his compensation and failed to register as a foreign agent. -- At Putin's request, Trump 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. -- In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. -- Nobody in Trump's campaign ever called the FBI. Did 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. They KNEW what Russia was up to, but did those things anyway.

  9364. GoWithGod - Do you not see your hypocrisy and double standard? If those things are suspicious to you, then what Trump and his people did is 50 times as suspicious. But you idiots think THOSE things shouldn't have even been investigated?? I'll say what you people keep saying - DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE?

  9366. The right wing in the US wants to remain enemies with Iran for the same reason as with Cuba - force of habit. I don't agree with a lot of what the Iranian government does, but the US takes what Iran does regionally as a personal affront. I think we should be encouraging Iran's progressives. Trump never should have pulled out of the nuclear deal.

  9367. There is only 20% support for repealing the 2nd Amendment. That's marginal. It will never happen. If you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. Ask Beto O'Rourke how his presidential bid went after saying guns should be confiscated. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  9373. Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016. (Though not charged with the crime of conspiracy, he did collude with them. He asked for their help, and his top aides met with them in New York to trade dirt for sanction relief). He asked Ukraine and China to interfere in the 2020 election. He withheld aid to Ukraine to extort them for probes of the Bidens and a nonsense conspiracy theory about hacked DNC servers. He directed his personal lawyer to commit felonies. He broke the emoluments clause. He obstructed justice many times before and during the Mueller and Ukraine investigations. He dangled pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. He altered an official weather chart. He intimidated witnesses.

  9378. Zachary DeRose - Nothing to do with Russia? - The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 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?" With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to giving military aid to Ukeaine. 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. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort and candidate Trump publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 6 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 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 involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was running for president. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - 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 infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - 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 to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform the public of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them.

I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  9394. If it was up to me, (I think this is basically what the Dems want), this is what I would want to open the government back up: - A few billion for border security, PART of which would be earmarked for PHYSICAL BARRIERS, and the rest for all else related to border security. If Trump doesn't have the will or attention span to read, calculate, or hire people who can, he shouldn't be POTUS. - No "down payment" on a huge project costing tens of billions. Take it year by year. Barriers aren't skyscrapers. You can build them piece by piece without leaving anyone holding the bag, and the pieces are still effective. (This won't be some failed building project where, for example, half a casino is worth nothing). - An end to measures taken, since Trump took office, to block asylum seekers from seeking asylum. If he wants to call this a "humanitarian crisis", he can't be selective about what is considered humanitarian. - REAL protection for DACA recipients. I've got no problem with ending DACA, but honor the deal for those already in it. Don't keep them guessing or use them as pawns. DACA is merit-based. Amnesties work. Those opposed to all forms of amnesty should get over it. Their situations are not their fault. (Even adults who cross illegally mostly do so to work for people who ILLEGALLY hire them. Share the blame). - Trump would have to give assurances that he'll work in GOOD FAITH to approach the immigration issue free of what is generally seen as xenophobic rhetoric and fear mongering. Good faith in getting accurate cost estimates, and being honest and transparent with the public about them. Reopen the government. "Release the hostages". Then, the work BEGINS. We need comprehensive immigration reform. (GW Bush, a Texan, spoke better Spanish than English, and he couldn't do it). It should include an EFFICIENT path to citizenship, reform of drug laws - including demand side, lots of research, state-by-state federal fund allotment, technology, BARRIERS WHERE PRACTICAL, mutually beneficial US/Mexican economic policies...It's a huge thing. Unfortunately, Trump is a small, petty man with a big ego.

I said physical barriers where needed. We already do that. What we don't want is to give him money for a huge project, whether $5 billion or $1, because it would essentially be a down payment on a $25 billion project that will require funding to completion.

Russia reached out to the Trump camp, and the Trump camp reached out to Russia. Trump said he thought it was fine to take the Trump Tower meeting. Not fine. He should have called the FBI! He KNEW Russia was attacking our election, and he did nothing about it. He wanted them to. He was making a deal with them for a building in Moscow WHILE HE KNEW THEY WERE ATTACKING US. Instead of pushing to punish and sanction them, he worked to LIFT THEIR SANCTIONS. So, what does it matter what could be prosecuted? He has shown his true colors. Why the hell you Trump following fucking retards don't understand that, I'll never know. Tell me you would be okay if HIllary Clinton did that! It's really THAT SIMPLE.

So...there are...no more four-year terms? So, Dan Quayle, HW Bush and Al Gore just... didn't think about that?? Are they asserting that also gives them the right to summon a riot at the Capitol as long as they insist they really believed they were cheated??

The exception that proves the rule - that there are consequences for not getting everything right. And that was a couple of years ago. And it's the ONE example you people constantly repeat ad nauseum. How on Earth is that some kind of proof that they lie all the time?? You have shown your utter bias and ignorance with that stupid Jussie Smollett post. He lied TO CNN. When the truth came out, they reported that. Do you think they're omniscient? Do you think they just KNOW the truth about things and then say otherwise? How ridiculous is that?! One question, are you a Trump supporter? Do you watch FOX News? Do you criticize THEM? Because if you're a supporter of the world's biggest pathological liar, and you keep repeating those "gotcha" talking points about CNN, then you have NO credibility. Obviously, that Smollett fool was a perpetrator, not a victim. Why on Earth would you even think I would think otherwise? Because you're obviously making assumptions and you're desperate for them to be true. But go ahead, tell me about a few more of those "lies" that CNN tells every day. Go ahead. You can't even name two more. I don't even like CNN. It's the McDonalds of news. But whatever the opinions and analysis, 99% of the facts they report are accurate. But go ahead and try to prove me wrong.

He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.

He pulled troops out so fast they had to BLOW UP THEIR OWN BASES.

  9429. There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

They don't have a social conscience. They have nothing to do with the cause. Trump isn't choosing these cities based on facts on the ground. He's choosing them based on whether or not the mayor is a Democrat. Has he ASKED any of these city officials what they need? Has he IDENTIFIED what, specifically, they are doing wrong in "Democrat cities" that they are doing right in "Republican cities"? He won't even acknowledge the protesters have a just cause. He calls BLM a "hate symbol." The biggest problem in Portland is graffiti.

  9438.  @MuggsyTM  Trump is trying to conflate several issues. VANDALISM AT PROTESTS IS SEPARATE FROM OTHER CRIMES! It's obvious he wants to lump them into the same category and blame all crime on Dems. He wants us to think they ALL support every BLM demand, rioting, anarchy, and communism. The most bizarre suggestion is that those who oppose police brutality and racism are racists themselves. Really? Anyone who opposes racism must be a Democrat? It's absurd to say all vandals are Dems. Most don't care at all about government or politics. Has Trump tried to find out WHY crime is spiking? What are they supposedly doing wrong in Dem cities as opposed to Republican cities? Crime always spikes in the summer. COVID is causing economic distress, and crime spikes. Authorities are trying not to fill the jails and spread the virus. That's EVERYWHERE, not just in "Dem cities." That's a ridiculous term in the first place. "Dem cities"? Where the Mayor is a Dem? What about the Governor? The state AG? Congressmen? Senators? The PRESIDENT? Republicans cry, "You can't keep your [city, district, state, county] clean and safe!" to attack any Dem lawmaker. There are MANY factors. Murders require detectives. Gang crimes, gang units. Riots, riot police. There are criteria for charging state and federal crimes. Has Trump addressed ANY of this?? He's not even asking what these mayors and local cops need. THIS IS A LOW-DOWN POLITICAL PLOY. It smacks of fascism and it's reminiscent of the civil unrest of the 1960s.

  9439.    Right, but they are going way beyond federal buildings. Before Trump was president, he said Obama was responsible for crime in Chicago. Now that he's president, it's the mayor...or the Congressman...or the governo...whichever Democrat he wants to put down.

  9443. Right wing extremists win when they convince the moderates of a false equivalence between the two political parties. I used to say, "A plane needs a right and a left wing to fly" when I didn't like what classic conservative Republicans were doing. Now I think we need to land the plane and replace the right wing before we crash and burn. I suspect many moderates and independents have heard so many lies about the Dems, the media, and the scientific community that even if they don't necessarily believe them, they still think, "Well, all politicians are always screwing us, so maybe there's SOME TRUTH to those conspiracy theories" when there simply is no truth whatsoever to them. Obviously there are rare exceptions, but those are usually the mole hills the Right will call mountains. The Republican party has simply lost its way. It doesn't have to disappear or implode if it would just replace its members with mature adults who want to solve actual problems. Republican and Independent voters, PLEASE try to see through the BS and educate yourselves on the issues before you vote. Republicans, PLEASE demand better from your elected officials. America hasn't been successful because one party was always trying to demonize and insult the other. It's been successful because of ACTUAL WORK, IDEAS, LEADERSHIP, LEGISLATION, and LAW. Not "owning the libs" or demonizing them to the point your extremists actually believe that we are trying to kill you, rape your babies and set up a communist regime in the most hyper-capitalist country on Earth.

Not "a black friend", as in "I know a black person, so I'm not racist". True friends who are black. I am offended by this president. I am also Jewish and from New York, and Trumpers can say all they want that Trump can't be antisemitic because of his son-in-law. This is how Hitler got started.

Contact tracing is useless when there's already community spread. Does it matter whether you caught it at Wal-Mart or at a restaurant? It's everywhere.

  9459. "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed". That's not true. If you watch, you are under-informed. If you confuse the NARRATIVE and EDITORIAL with the FACTS, you are misinformed. Sure, the media make mistakes, but mistakes aren't lies. I'd rather know half a story that's spun the wrong way than to know nothing. Yes, MSM is sensationalized. Yes, they use narratives to sell the story. They have to. I cringe whenever I hear "BREAKING NEWS!" about every little thing. Take it with a grain of salt. Extract the facts. Wikileaks is not news. Youtube hack videos are not news. They just talk about what MSM reports. Trump's Tweets are not news. Saying it gets him around the "fake" media is absurd. It gets him around due scrutiny. (with grammar errors no Yale man should ever make - "their" is not "they are". "Open Borders" doesn't get capitalized, and it's a lie to say Dems want open borders anyway). FOX News isn't even news. Sean Hannity coordinates stories with Trump! And his followers say the "liberal" media is biased?! FOX has no competition on TV. Competition is what keeps them honest. If CNN gets it wrong, ABC, NBC and PBS will get it right and get higher ratings. Free market Capitalists should know that. You MSM bashers are so much more biased than they are, and it's obvious.

  9461. FactCheck.org® FACTCHECK POSTS Trump Tweets Conspiracy Theory About Deleted Votes By Rem Rieder Posted on November 13, 2020 In a tweet, President Donald Trump on Nov. 12 pushed the baseless theory that voting systems deleted millions of votes for him and switched thousands of votes cast for him to his Democratic rival, President-elect Joe Biden. No evidence has been produced to support that assertion. Hours after Trump’s tweet, a group of federal, state and local officials overseeing the nation’s voting system said that in the recent election, “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” The joint statement, by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, described the recent voting as “the most secure in American history.” The statement was distributed by the federal government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

  9472. For Trump fans saying, "What does it have to do with collusion?": With Papadopoulos, everything. With Cohen, Manafort, and Gates, it's very possible, and they're all cooperating. What Don Jr, Manafort and Kushner did in Trump Tower goes right to collusion. Best case, Don Jr ADMITTED to attempting it, and definitely lied about it. Worst case, the law will find it was, indeed, collusion, (Conspiracy), and that means also Obstruction of Justice, for him and Trump Sr, because they hatched a cover story together. (BTW, a Trump associate quit over that cover story, saying he didn't want to be part of an Obstruction case). What's more, there are other avenues - Flynn is also cooperating. What he did has everything to do with collusion. Kushner tried to trade Russian sanction relief for special financing for his associates with a sanctioned Russian bank. Then, there's Carter Page, Jeff Sessions, and Roger Stone. Questions surround the hiring and firing of Rex Tillerson that point to Russia. A Russian spy was arrested in connection to funnelling money to the Trump camp through the NRA. Reputed Russian gangster, Felix Sater, has made statements implicating Trump. There have been 78 falsely denied Russian contacts among the bunch. But forget collusion for a minute. If Trump is found to have evaded taxes, laundered money, obstructed justice, abused power, broke campaign finance laws by hiding hush money, and/or perjured himself, would that be acceptable? If you're okay with it, then you must be okay with Bill Clinton's perjury and all of the things you accuse Hillary of. If not, you are a biased hypocrite. For those who absurdly say, "Hillary colluded with the Russians", I'll point out that, if what you say she did was "collusion", then you are also saying what the Trump campaign did was collusion. The "whataboutism" makes no sense.

Putin is bad guy, but he and his trolls are doing it for their own country. I can't really even blame Trump, himself. Where there's power, there will always be people like him trying to gain and exploit it. I BLAME HIS REPUBLICAN ENABLERS. Elected and appointed Republicans were supposed to keep him in check. If Obama or Clinton had done and said what Trump has, Republicans would be as outraged as us liberals. I am SURE of that.

If a "messy" impeachment is called for, then that's what we need. But Dems now want an easy win against a wounded Trump. But if Trump becomes unelectable because of scandal or low approval ratings, the Repubs, themselves, will primary him. Then, Dems won't be running against the "devil they know". I'm a liberal who is very pissed at the Dems right now.

  9500. Trump takes seriously "what a lot of people are talking about." What "people are talking about" to him is largely what he reads on Twitter. He blocks those who disagree with him, and they talk about what he puts out there. That's a hell of a feedback loop! He can promote a conspiracy theory on Twitter. The Twitterverse talks about it. FOX News and Russian trolls talk about it. Then, it must have validity because "a lot of people are saying." It's ironic that the MAGA crowd goes on and on about brainwashing, bias, lying, and propaganda. It's projection on steroids.

"The virus wasn't his fault". Actually, his handling of it has been abysmal. What did he do to take credit for low unemployment? He inherited Obama's economy, and did WORSE in his term than Obama did in his last four years.

Split hairs all you want about the editorial and analysis by the "liberal" media, but editorial isn't fact. They get the facts right 99% of the time. It's the facts that make Trump look bad. The facts make him look guilty. It's absurd to blame liberals for that. Did liberals make Trump's son collude with the Russians? Did liberals make 16 campaign associates reach out to the Russians and lie about it? Trump is such a hypocrite calling the news fake. He planted stories in the tabloids for years. He once phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He lies all the time. So, biased analysis by the press makes them the "enemy of the people", but we should accept the PRESIDENT lying to the people?

They throw you a bone, and while you're gnawing the scraps, the rich use the windfall to buy new toys and lobby for more tax cuts. - "I'm an outsider. I'm not beholden to special interests". Yeah. Not yet. - "It's about national security. We have to do this NOW". What a convenient way to get around scrutiny and play on peoples' fears. - "I'm a regular guy, so I understand you". Do you want your surgeon to be a regular joe? Your airline pilot? Your lawyer? You choose those with expertise in the field. - "It's not my fault. It's those 'others' among you. I'll help you deal with them". See Hitler, the war on drugs, maniacal cult leaders, and civil wars throughout history. Trump followers, does any of this ring a bell?

    1
  9512. Ed Maphis - From the Washington Post: Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can’t veto a transaction; only the president can. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the Uranium One decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself “never intervened” in committee matters. The timing of most of the donations does not match Of the $145 million allegedly contributed to the Clinton Foundation by Uranium One investors, the lion’s share — $131.3 million — came from a single donor, Frank Giustra, the company’s founder. But Giustra sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007, three years before the Russia deal and at least 18 months before Clinton became secretary of state.

Even if you think the media is "liberal", it's still absurd to say that, therefore, they are inherently against Trump and willing to sacrifice the truth for any chance to attack him. Despite what Trump and his Republican enablers want to to believe, comedians work for laughs, the FBI works for justice, and journalists work for truth. Of course there are exceptions, but to say because it bore some bad fruit that the whole tree is rotten is RIDICULOUS.

And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  9536. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

He lied about pursuing a Trump Tower deal in Moscow while running for president, and while Russia was attacking our election for HIS BENEFIT! Then, it was revealed that 16 of his associates lied about over 100 Russian contacts! If you don't see anything wrong with that, you are a fool. Wake up.

  9575. Social Security and Medicaid hasn't turned the US into red China or the USSR. Social programs are socialist. All revolutions start with popular uprisings, not just in socialist and communist states. I don't care what a system is called. I just want bang for my tax buck. Some things should be left to the free market, and some things to the government, the collective. Some things should be communal. That doesn't mean the whole system should be Communist. Any government in a free country is somewhat socialist. Bernie Sanders is right. We already have corporate socialism. We subsidize farms and bail out failing big businesses. If you say those things aren't socialist, you prove my point. "Socialism" is a word conservatives demonize as a political weapon to avoid debate about ideas put forth by liberals. They even demonize the word, "progressive". I want socialized health care because it's proven to work in other countries. I don't want free higher education, because it will erode the quality. People may argue against my position, but that's the point. It should be debated and compromised on, not DISMISSED as a slippery slope into some imagined socialist nightmare. People like Sanders and AOC don't get it. It's not that they don't have good ideas, but they think if they put the word "Democratic" in front of the word "Socialist", that conservatives will be open minded about it. They'll just be dismissed and demonized by simple-minded people on the right.

First, he insisted that collusion wasn't a crime, and it isn't. Technically, he couldn't be charged, but was it OKAY to welcome the help of a foreign government? Then, after the report, he kept repeating the LIE that Mueller said "there was no collusion", as if he was cleared of an actual crime. He sure calls it a crime that Clinton "colluded" with Russia with that dossier. (That was NOT collusion. The accusation is wrong on many levels. But let's say it was for a moment. The dossier was collusion, but the Trump Tower meeting wasn't? He can't have it both ways). He says things that have been considered racist, xenophobic tropes, embedded in some of our worst history, and wants us to PROVE his words are racist. "What's wrong with just stating a fact?" Then, he turns around and accuses Democrats and the media of racism for even questioning his rhetoric. According to him, anything that technically doesn't break the law is okay. Beyond that, anyone who QUESTIONS his behavior has committed TREASON! Recently, he ostensibly said that people who complain about his government should leave the country. He said they HATE AMERICA, a country FOUNDED by immigrants on the right to air grievances and not be ruled by a dictator! What's more, he complains about the government more than anyone. He bitches about how he is portrayed on Saturday Night Live. Imagine that - SNL lampooning the president. Even crazier is that he's a New Yorker who has hosted SNL! How do his followers not see the hypocrisy? How do they not smell the bullshit?

  9605. Rico - Conspiracy theorists like the ones that implicate their own government. It may explain why they choose the irrational "deep state" conspiracy over the big, juicy, much more likely Trump/Russia scandal. It may be a reason why Trump sold himself as an outsider to the government. What a waste. If they "switched sides", those minds (as messed-up as their minds are), could be working for our country, not against it. More importantly, the pandering Republican lawmakers would also be working for, and not against us. I get it. It's a defense mechanism to show they won't be fooled by those who have power over them. Isn't that ironic?

  9606. Jesse Wightman - Cheated in the primaries? Are you referring to the two DNC staffers who had one email exchange that kicked around the idea of using Bernie Sanders' religion against him that they never actually used? Maybe the ONE debate question that Donna Brazile told Hillary about - that Clinton never asked for, and that Brazile was fired from CNN over? Oooh, maajor stuff. What do you think RNC emails looked like? "Let's go run a good, clean campaign, guys!" No. But the Russians hacked the RNC also, and didn't release their emails. Hmm, I wonder why. (blackmail). Trump said his son, son-in-law, and (found guilty now of 8 felonies) campaign chairman meeting with known reps of the Russian government to get dirt on Clinton was perfectly fine. And that wasn't the primary. In the Republican primary, Trump planted a story in the Enquirer about an absurd conspiracy theory about Ted Cruz' father being in on the Kennedy assassination. I'd say, "pot meet kettle", but they don't even compare. Trump's team played it down and dirty. Trump even paid people $50 a pop to attend his xenophobic announcement rally. BTW, you obviously didn't notice that my post is a critique of the Democrat

The House Committee, chaired by Devin Nunez, while Republicans had total and complete power during Trump's first two years, ran interference for Trump under the guise of "oversight". Now that Dems have the House - but still not the Senate - Republicans are denying Congress' basic role of oversight, and equating it to a "witch hunt", or a "coup".

  9613.  @mantis10_surf85  SMH - So name one lie! CNN never said Trump colluded with the Russians. Cite one report! And by the way, collusion is not a crime. It's cooperation, and they did cooperate.

  9614.  @mantis10_surf85  The report did not say no collusion, moron. WTF is wrong with you? Mueller didn't charge the CRIME of CONSPIRACY. He specifically detailed 10 instances of Obstruction, a crime he couldn't charge because of DOJ guidelines.

And CNN reported that he said that. You aren't making any sense. What are you talking about? The press has used unnamed sources since forever. It's how things get reported. You cannot name one time a piece of information was attributed to unnamed sources and that information proved to be false, and cannot cite one time CNN was proven to have fabricated one. So, the fact remains - you cannot win this argument. I have proven you wrong. Funny thing is, you'll continue to spread the falsehood that the news media spreads falsehoods.

  9618.  @mantis10_surf85  I just explained to you how those stories were not lies or falsehoods. Name the lie CNN told about Smollette. Name one reporter who concluded that Trump was guilty of a crime. They simply reported the facts. The fact is that Trump's people met with the Russians in Trump Tower. It is a fact that Trump lied about his business dealings with Russia. The closest thing to a lie, and still far from it, is that ALL of the outlets at that Covington kid rally mischaracterized the situation, which appeared to be different from what that kid later SAID about what was going on. And still, the video didn't lie. Think for myself? You people repeat that like a mantra. I DO think for myself. That's why I know the difference between FACT, ANALYSIS, and OPINION, which you clearly do not. I have proven you wrong, and like all of you fools, you simply refuse to accept it. "They lie all the time", you all say, and can't name ONE LIE. And in defense of an HABITUAL LIAR who has manipulated the media all of his life, and COORDINATES WITH FOX NEWS!

People need to wake up and freely, fairly reject him. Unfortunately, the Republicans have duped their base into thinking all that's required to be a public servant is keeping those "evil, radical" libs from eating their babies.

  9644. Patriot Spearhead - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Much of the money Trump is taking from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall comes from programs to safeguard European allies from Russian aggression that were started because of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - Trump CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler.

You pick up your iPhone with your tiny, little hands, and you tweet, "I fully reject the support of David Duke, as well as the Klan, The Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, and all racist hate groups. Do not vote for me. You have no place in our country." Then, you immediately stop using the term, "Nationalist", no matter what new connotation you want to attach to it, because it's a loaded term. It's totally unnecessary to use, especially in this political climate, so just fucking drop it. You don't argue semantics. You don't double down. You don't blame the press for painting you in a negative light, (especially when you coordinate with the biggest right-wing network news outlet there is. Sean Hannity practically has a fucking desk in the White House.) By the way, if he's going to say, "fake news" 20 times a day, he needs to add two pieces of information to these accusations - 1) WHO in the media said something "false"? 2) WHAT, SPECIFICALLY, is "false"?

  9663. It's amazing how two people so different could get elected to the same position back to back - and how many who voted for Obama turned around and voted for Trump. Listen to this interview - thoughtful, articulate, and selfless. Then think about a Trump interview. "I'm the greatest ever. Me, me, me. They're the worst ever. They hate you and want to destroy you." The politics of grievance. Everyone is mad and frustrated about something, often mad and frustrated at themselves. Trump just gave his following an excuse to take it out on "the others among you, the liberals," and said "I'm the only thing that stands between you and certain doom." Effective for winning elections. Horrible for governing once they win.

  9678. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they couldn't hide the "station" in the sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and height. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.5 billion years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're that advanced and made spacecrafts versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different times on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT.

  9686.  @mt6865  - Gaining from what? What are you talking about? All I posted was a correction to another post. Obviously, you don't get sick from the virus if you're vaccinated, and that "3 day" sickness is your immune system kicking. And most people get mildly ill for one day, only after the second shot. That's how it affected me. The reason the survival rate is what it is is because people like me for vaccinated and wore a mask. People like you have only been contributing to the problem. If you want to be selfish, fine, but what does anyone have to gain by your discouraging others to take it seriously? At its peak, there was a 2-3% death rate. It was the third leading cause of death in 2020. It's 7 times as deadly as the flu. It had our hospitals at capacity. Imagine how bad it would have been if everyone had refused to wear a mask or be vaccinated. 2.2 million Americans would have died before it burned-through. The economy and the health care system would have collapsed. And is death the only thing that matters? Yeah, so what if a million people wind up alone in a hospital bed for 6 weeks struggling to breathe, then spend the next ten years paying the bill?

"I get attacked all the time," says our insulting, vengeful, childish, whiney little lying bitch of a leader. He acts like he never saw the news before. The media is doing EXACTLY what they would do with ANY president who acts like him. He whines about SNL, for Christ's sake! He wants to be a rebel? To be different? Then what the fuck does he expect? 92% of his coverage is negative because 92% of what he does and says is negative! He's a "counter-puncher"? Give me a fucking break. He's just a "puncher". He only serves his base. That's polarizing, so over half the country isn't going to agree that the "good things" he does are actually good things. Just because he sees no need to be presidential (aka mature), doesn't mean the country doesn't need it. He's got some damn nerve bitching about the "dishonest" media. He's a proven habitual liar! Does he EVER specify what the media is actually "lying" about? Hell no! It never ceases to amaze me, not only what his base now considers acceptable in a leader, but also how HYPOCRITICAL his followers are! "What about Hillary?!" What about her? She isn't President, and EVERYTHING he accuses the Clintons of, he is accused of himself - to a much greater degree! Crooked charity? Check. Election fraud? Check. Security breaches? Check. Sex crimes? Check. Inciting incivility? Mega check! Lying? Holy shit - Super duper megacheck! Trump and his followers need to grow the fuck up.

  9699. Clinton's plan was to collude with the Russians to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear the winner with. And she started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you all start fabricating intercepts and reports, commit major felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She also asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  9711. There are only two possible reasons the Obama Administration would have spied on the Trump campaign. 1)- To prevent his election, or 2)- To smear him in case he got elected. You can eliminate the first one. No information gathered by US intelligence was used during the campaign. The ONLY possibility would have been to smear Trump in case he won. That WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SENSE. Why would Clinton, with a 94% chance of winning, bother to prepare for that 6% chance? For a 6% chance, would Obama, FBI, and CIA officials in non-political agencies - most of whom were Republicans - risk their careers and their freedom? Would they engage in a MASSIVE conspiracy involving dozens of people across multiple agencies, right under the noses of Republicans among them, just to make Trump look bad? If the FBI was so desperate to ensure a Clinton victory, why did Comey re-open her email case and HURT her chances? Why DIDN'T he announce that there was a probe into Trump's possible ties to Russia? IT MAKES NO SENSE. The FBI was trying to safeguard the election from Russian attack. In the process, they uncovered many Trump campaign ties to the Russian government, WHICH THEY LIED ABOUT.

  9712. Most people get news in video form, TV and internet. Even the big newspapers are online now. The major outlets are CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, BBC, NYT, WaPo...and then there's FOX News. It's not "left" vs "right". It's MAINSTREAM vs ALTERNATIVE. If I'm 10 ft. to the right of a group of 8 people, the center is 5 ft. away, but the center of gravity is closer to the group. FACTS aren't partisan. To single out CNN as some kind of political brainwash operation is absurd because ALL outlets report the SAME FACTS. FOX argues that MSM leans left, and that they're just balancing it out by leaning right, but that's a false equivalency. There is left and right in the political spectrum. There is more and less newsworthy in the news spectrum. MSM picks stories based on ratings. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one ideology. I don't know why editorial departments endorse candidates. I wish they wouldn't. I think it's a practice from a less partisan age. But they don't work for the DNC or the CIA. They work for corporate sponsors. Journalists get into the business to expose truth. They don't pass on outing a crooked Senator because he's a Democrat. If CNN won't report it, CBS will. It's a competitive field...unless you're FOX News, which has virtually no competition. I try to extract the fact from the noise. The analysis is there as a guide so you can digest stories you might not understand. Criticizing the outlet too much is like blaming your phone for what people say on it. There's so much of that "kill the messenger" mentality out there.

  9715. I think maybe Trump's followers are so loyal to him because he was so awful. They had to double-down on their support out of defensiveness, and now, they're stuck that way. I don't get it. That kind of loyalty is for your family and close friends. You stick with a football team, win or lose, because they may be from where you live and there aren't consequences beyond the game and maybe a bet you made. But a politician? I don't get it. It's like with Catholic Bishops protecting pedo priests and police chiefs protecting dirty cops. They should want to purge them from their ranks.

  9716. Trump 2016  - Look at the big deal you folks about everything Obama or Clinton did! They were all over Obama for wearing a brown suit. They say Obama raising the national debt destroyed the country, but Trump runs up over a TRILLION dollar deficit, and it's nothing to you folks! Just the suggestion that Clinton or Obama did something nefarious - out of context and without any proof - and you call for their heads on pikes. Hypocrisy. Double standard. Plain and simple. When Trump is under a cloud of suspicion about Russian collusion, then his own son admits to trying to collude with the Russians, should that be "no big deal"? But when Obama says to a Russian, "I can do more to help you when I'm out of office", which could mean ANYTHING, and sounds a lot like what you would say to get someone to quit bothering you for a favor, you guys play judge, jury, and executioner. A text message exchange between two FBI employees, with NO PROOF OF ANYONE ELSE BEING INVOLVED must be concrete evidence of a deep state conspiracy? Do you people realize how much Trump and FOX News put out there that they offer NO EXPLANATION FOR, and you just regurgitate the lines with absolutely no understanding of what it means? Do you realize there are NO specific allegations against Bruce Ohr, but Trump calls him "a disgrace", and you people parrot the line? It's insane!

But here's some whataboutism for you - When Donald Trump was sued in Florida over his sham university, he made a "donation" to Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi, with a check from DONALD TRUMP'S CHARITY FOUNDATION. Bondi then declined to move ahead with the lawsuit. FACT. The dossier was originally funded by Donald Trump's REPUBLICAN primary opponents. It was not the original basis for the Russia probe. It started with British and Dutch intelligence. Then, there came the ADMISSION from Trump's son that he, Manafort, and Kushner COLLUDED with the Russian government. Also, 9 Trump associates lied about Russian contacts. One has now plead guilty to it after being charged with perjury. Wake up and get a clue.

I'll never understand Obama to Trump voters, but I think they are more uninformed than dumb. But it is clear that Trump supporters, as a group, are DEFINITELY more ignorant and have lower IQs. The bulk of the conspiracy theorists and racists are Trump supporters. Read these comment sections, and it's clear they are less articulate and have worse grammar skills. The supreme irony, though, is that they are the most skeptical. They think they're immune to bullshit, EXCEPT for when it comes to Trump - the biggest bullshitter on the planet! Trumpers - use those keen bullshit detectors on him! Be OBJECTIVE! Ask yourself what you would think if Obama or Clinton did and said what he does!

  9742. Has the Confederate flag always been seen as an intolerable symbol of racism? I remember an 80s show called "The Dukes of Hazard", featuring a car with a big Confederate flag on the roof. Those were just some good, ole boys who were never meanin' no harm. How racist could it have been if 1980s TV executives didn't see a problem broadcasting it in prime time? I always thought it was weird that we displayed the flag of a failed rebellion. When ISIS was driven from Syria and Iraq, they didn't keep flying the ISIS flag. The fact that we did it in America could be seen as an example of tolerance in a free country. Yes, the Confederate flag is NOW seen as too racist to fly. But just remember, not everyone who displays it is a racist. It was HIJACKED by racists. Most of those people are just Civil War buffs or people simply expressing Southern pride the same way some black people like to wear African adornments to express black pride. Yes, let people know you find that flag offensive, but don't act like everyone who has one is a member of the Klan - especially if you want that racist, Trump, out of the White House. All you will do is give him more votes from Southerners who will become soldiers in the culture war he is fueling.

  9749. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him. He has serious issues.

He lied about the wall being started. It's maintenance for pre-existing barriers. And what happened to Mexico paying? Oh, yeah, that was just a campaign promise. Why would anyone take it seriously?

The Trump campaign's outreach to Russia is documented in the Mueller Report, and those implicated DO NOT DENY IT. Understand? Plus, does it make ANY sense that a candidate with a 94% chance of winning would set up a MASSIVE conspiracy, involving literally over a dozen agencies and hundreds of people committing felonies that could ruin their careers and freedom, and these people - in non-political agencies - all went along with it, JUST IN CASE HILLARY LOST??

It kills me that with all of the shit Trump and the Repubs do and say lately, you idiots try to pin the PETTIEST shit on a Dem candidate. Sparticus? Warren's ancestry test? Oooh, major swampy stuff. "They should be locked up!" Meanwhile, Trump's whole inner circle is pleading to felonies. You people are pathetic.

Most who don't read it don't want to believe it, so they stop reading and tell me I'm a victim of propaganda. They don't even want to hear this stuff because then they become conflicted. How dare reality get in the way if their narrative! You know, the narrative they cling to even though they didn't question it in the first place because of confirmation bias towards their tribe. Are you disputing any of the FACTS I posted?

If you call ongoing military actions wars if, say, they happened under Obama, then you have to admit that actions in Syria, Iran, and Yemen, plus the INCREASED number of drone strikes are to be blamed on Trump. You can't have it both ways. By the way, Biden hasn't started a war. Know who else tried to avoid a war? Neville Chamberlain. Was THAT okay?

  9778. Lisa Broe - Or he may have successfully halted its publication. This is witness intimidation. Trump can unilaterally, retroactively classify information. It's not an empty threat. Trump will not hesitate to call Bill Barr and have Bolton charged with a felony. Unfortunately, our impeachment laws are too incomplete, and don't address the fact that if you impeach a president, you have left the fox to guard the henhouse. The remedy? Bolton should have waited to write a fucking book and capitalize on this. He needs to testify. He should have testified for the House. Now, there has to be a vote in the Republican lead Senate. I'm not holding my breath. I just hope people think about this shit before they vote in November.

  9784.  @Kinobambino  The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.6 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're advanced enough to design spacecraft versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  9785.  @Kinobambino  I do understand it. We don't know everything and we don't even know what we don't know. I'm saying we do know what we do know, and some things we do know with such certainty that it's very unlikely that we'll end up being wrong in the end. For instance, the light speed limit is fundamental, and it's been proven.

  9788. Are MSM bashers as critical of that poor excuse for journalism called FOX News, that literally coordinates with Trump? It's virtually state-run media. Split hairs all you want about the editorial and analysis by the "liberal" media, but editorial isn't fact. They get the facts right 99% of the time. It's the facts that make Trump look bad. The facts make him look guilty. It's absurd to blame liberals for that. Did liberals make Trump's son collude with the Russians? Did liberals make 16 campaign associates reach out to the Russians and lie about it? Trump is such a hypocrite calling the news fake. He planted stories in the tabloids for years. He once phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He lies all the time. So, biased analysis by the press makes them the "enemy of the people", but we should accept the PRESIDENT lying to the people?

  9797. Julia G - He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice. Garner

As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

Like it's some kind of coke deal?? 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 consists of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, and was led by a Republican. The State Department, headed by Clinton, was simply one of them. The alleged "briber" didn't have a 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 the deal. So, why wasn't Obama blamed for this "scandal"? Because Obama wasn't running for president. Clinton was. Why was a years-old, routine deal called a scandal at all? Because it involved Hillary Clinton and uranium. Yes, uranium is used in nuclear bombs to create a fusion reaction. It's mostly used in POWER PLANTS, where it isn't enriched to be weaponized. Russia has had the bomb for about seven decades. They have LOTS of uranium in their own soil. Russia has thousands of nuclear warheads, just like the US. A dozen or so could end life on Earth as we know it. The suggestion that somehow Clinton sold out our nuclear capability to Russia is ridiculous.

It's so hypocritical for Trump loyalists to say, with NO probable cause or proof, that "Clinton sold uranium to Russia...Clinton colluded with Russia...The Clintons ran a hit squad...Strzok and Page were part of a deep state conspiracy..," yet when there is real suspicion surrounding Trump, and when he and 16 of his people were caught LYING about 140 Russian contacts, it's not only NOT cause for suspicion, but it's TREASON to investigate it! WHAT?!? There is no deep state conspiracy. If you think the DNC, the media, the FBI and the CIA are somehow in cahoots to take down Trump, you are hopelessly ignorant.

  9821. In 2000, when the Court gave the Presidency to George Bush when it came down to a state where Bush's brother was governor, did Dems go nuts? Did they refuse to accept the results and start a smear campaign against Bush as "an excuse for a lost election"? When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

  9824. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden that was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why would he fill her role with his personal attorney and two indicted criminals, none of whom work for the government? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust crooked Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016, and dismiss the findings of the CIA? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win? - Trump literally has had more campaign staff and close aides indicted and implicated in crimes, and lost more White House staff and cabinet members to scandal and due to criminal behavior than any other president. And he's fighting corruption in Ukraine?!? - Mueller detailed 10 instances of obstruction, and specifically said he was not cleared of that. - Trump dangled pardons to officials working on his border wall. He told them to ignore eminent domain laws to take their land. When that leaked, Trump said he was "joking". Okay, let's get these officials under oath and ask them, "Did you take it as a joke, or did you take action?" - Trump is on tape directing Michael Cohen to start an LLC to launder the hush payments to Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model. That's what got him designated as an unindicted co-conspirator, "Individual 1", in court filings. The crime involved FEC violations and bank fraud. - Trump altered an official weather chart with a sharpie. That is a crime. It caused turmoil and confusion in Alabama, and within government weather agencies, just because the president cannot admit even small mistakes. - Trump obstructed justice by firing James Comey over Russia, and attempting to fire Robert Mueller. He drafted a false statement for his son to cover up the infamous Trump Tower meeting, where Don Jr, Jarred Kushner, and Paul Manafort met surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump intimidated Marie Yavanovich via Twitter during her testimony to the House Intel Committee. He sent similar tweets taunting James Comey, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe and Michael Cohen. - Trump has violated the public trust by lying to the public 13,000 times in 3 years. To put that in perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. And the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton over ONE LIE about his personal life! But as long as the president isn't under oath, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Why should it matter that he lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that needed Kremlin approval? What's a little conflict of interest with a country that was ACTIVELY ATTACKING OUR ELECTION TO HELP HIM WIN? What's a little vulnerability to blackmail by Putin? - Trump has refused to divest his businesses, and refuses to show his tax returns. He is lying about why he is breaking his promise to release them. Meanwhile, he is breaking the emoluments clause, raking in money from lobbyists and foreign dignitaries who pay to stay at his hotels. But Trump wouldn't put the government up for sale, would he? He said he was draining the swamp! - Why not trust an habitual liar whose charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality"? Why worry about the ethics of a president who used that charity's funds to "donate" $25k to an AG in Florida who declined to move forward on a lawsuit of his sham university, and then gave that AG a high paying job in the federal government? Trump once said, "I love spending other peoples' money". Well now, "other people" are the American taxpayers.

A trade deficit/surplus is not money in the bank. It's about the difference in what we buy from and sell to other countries. A surplus does not go into the treasury. And punitive tariffs are offset by tariffs our trade partners put on us. If Trump wants Mexico to pay for a wall/fence thing, he has to show how. Think Trump is a number cruncher? He doesn't have the capacity or patience for anything technical. He is all about PR. He doesn't take advice, and he doesn't learn. Think he'll start a dedicated wall fund? He is infamous for trying to take money from pile A to put in pile B. He "loves spending other peoples' money". He calls himself the "King of debt".

My point is that he is trying to count our chickens before they hatch. A trade surplus is NOT money that goes into the treasury. It isn't money at all, and even if it was, that's still not Mexico paying for it unless it was money going into a dedicated fund. Duh. And you're calling ME stupid? You fucking idiot.

  9851. I like the way he revealed these indictments. By revealing the Papadopoulos info. along with the other two, it shut down Trump's ability to say, "See, nothing there about the campaign".

  9856. Trump's people have been digging for dirt on Biden with a jackhammer. They have been looking over everything he did as a VP and a Senator. And they've come up with nothing. Same with Hillary Clinton. Uranium One? Some deep state conspiracy theory about HER colluding with Russia? She was a Senator, Sec. of State, and First Lady, and that's what they came up with? This should show how NOT corrupt they are. When Ken Starr went after Bill Clinton, he looked at EVERY aspect of his and his family's life. Coming up with NOTHING, the Republicans impeached him anyway over one lie about his personal life. THAT was a witch hunt. Trump going after Biden is a fishing expedition. How is it that so many Trump followers can't see their astounding level of hypocrisy and projection?

  9860. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

They were worried about the Russians mounting a cyber attack on election day. Obama personally told Putin to stop. Trump was warned by the FBI about it, and 16 of his people CONTACTED THEM. And how the hell do you have the nerve to blame Obama? Trump is president now, and he refuses to even acknowledge that the Russians meddled at all.

Mitch McConnell refuses to put any of the over 200 bills sitting on his desk to a vote because the Democrats control the Senate. He refused to give Obama's Supreme Court pick a hearing because it was 10 months before an election, but says he will if Trump gets a chance before his election. Read these FOX News comment sections, and notice how many Republicans call ANYONE who disagrees with the party even a little a RINO. Look at how the president refuses to reach across the aisle, and his following cheer him on.

  9875. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

"Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. TRUMP WAS THE LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." THINK ABOUT HOW TOTALLY F'ED UP THAT IS!

(Need I mention why Michael Flynn is in trouble?) 4) Wants to recognize their annexation of Crimea. 5) REFUSES TO ADMIT RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR ELECTION. 6) Hired, then fired Rex Tillerson when Tillerson criticized Putin. 7) Invited Lavrov and Kislysk into the Oval Office at Putin's request. 8) Suspended South Korean military exercises, (which Putin has always wanted. 9) Refuses to criticize Putin AT ALL and actually defends some of his worst deeds. 10) Congratulated Putin on his stolen election against his advisors' advice, then TOLD PUTIN THOSE ADVISORS WERE STUPID! 11) Wanted to form a joint cyber security team with Putin. 12) Changed the official US position on Assad from "he must go" to "he can stay for now"...

I thought he was going to start saying, "Blonde unemployment, obese people unemployment, big tittied unemployment..." And wh when did that tend start? Under Obama - when more jobs were created in his last year than in Trump's entire first three. But does Trump simply acknowledge that? No. He trashes a former leader of HIS OWN COUNTRY before the world, all the damn time, basically telling other countries that they had a right to blame us for every past thing we did that they didn't like. But nobody is saying low unemployment is a joke, so you are clearly just another of those idiot Trump trolls. So fuck off, moron.

I've yet to see any proof that the FBI gave any political dirt to the Dems. Unlike Trump's people, who were meeting with Russians to trade political dirt - that WAS used in the campaign - for sanction relief.

  9885. Biden OBVIOUSLY didn't think or expect us to believe there are more Chinese retirees than workers. "There are more people retired" was clearly to say there are more than there used to be. It was vague wording. Those saying they're shocked that CNN would fact-check a Dem don't see that they try HARDER to criticize Dems in a futile attempt to quiet that criticism and prove they're being fair. Media should just do their job! They'll never stop hypocrites like Hannity from crying "liberal bias." He'll always call CNN a mob in bed with Dems, no matter how much they report negative things about Biden or Cuomo. Yes, Biden got the other things wrong. He needs to tighten it up. But they weren't attempts to deceive. It was bad fact checking by Biden, himself. It's still a far cry from the habitual, deliberate lying by the last guy.

  9888. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

You really think that's not enough reason to investigate?? But a couple of texts, given no context, that lead nowhere, to nobody else, is proof of a coup attempt??

  9906. Does the term, "SELF DEFEATING" mean anything anymore? Republicans got worked-up about saving the economy and fought against COVID safety measures. Now, the pandemic is worse than ever in the US. We still can't reopen, so the economy is still threatened while the rest of the world is getting over this. Great job! Protesters got worked-up about demanding everything immediately, demanded to "defund police", and lumped cases of true, racist police brutality with those in gray areas. They demanded everything with even a hint of racism be destroyed without debate. Great job! Now, all they've done is play into the culture war, galvanized the cops' attitude that it's "us vs. them," and insured protesters will be villified. Sick of career politicians? Elect a president with no experience whatsoever. Sick of runaway capitalism? Support Bernie Sanders, the far-left socialist. Everything, right down to our very existence and evolution on planet Earth is due to BALANCE. If you've had enough of racist police brutality, focus on POLICE BRUTALITY, not boxes of Uncle Ben's or 25 year old sitcoms. If you want to deal with a pandemic, balance BOTH health AND economics.

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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, the Wikileaks release of hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he'd communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both Trump and Paul Manafort deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did it without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Cause suspicion yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

Then, the Russian trolls and the truly gullable MAGA heads repeat them online. It's a massive feedback loop. I think about how, at least if they are Russian trolls, they can't vote in the US, but apparently 40% of registeted voters are falling for this disinformation campaign. That's too close for comfort. A little cheating could bump Trump over the line, and he could squeak out a victory with a minority of votes again. He needs to be removed before the next election. I'm still holding out hope that his own party will see the writing on the wall and oust him.

There will ALWAYS be a struggle to balance the need for management by the government and the need to keep the government out of our lives. All governments are some degree of socialist. Runaway capitalism is just as bad as runaway socialism. The government has to step in when the free market drops the ball. The free market tends to get greedy. It serves the individual. The government serves the collective. That's it. There is nothing more to it. Bernie Sanders lost to Joe Biden, who is accused of being a corporate shill. Republicans control the Senate, White House, and have a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, so you don't have to get all paranoid about America turning into red China. We don't have one-party rule. But you know who said, "Soon, there will only be one party?" Donald Trump. Know who cozies up to the former KGB agent who rules Russia and wants his Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics back? Donald Trump.

If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones. Don't compare apples to oranges. Don't compare apples to orangutans. Don't project. Don't be hypocritical. Don't kill the messenger (the media).

  9931. MBS used a gangster tactic similar to why Putin uses rare, radioactive isotopes to kill. They know they'll be blamed. Often, gangsters WANT people to know they did it. They just don't want authorities to have tangible proof. Putin did something similar with that Trump Tower meeting. My theory is that Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort thought the Russians were going to hand them "dirt" in the form of a flash drive or a notebook. That would explain Trump's odd statement right before the meeting: "I'm 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." But he never gave that speech because there was no flash drive. I think the Russians told them, "Just watch the news at convention time. My diplomat, Sergey Kislyak, will be there." (Kislyak was who Mike Flynn was talking sanctions with, and who Jeff Sessions got in trouble for denying he spoke with at the convention). It was there that one of Trump's associates requested ONE change to the Republican platform - To remove language that supported arming Ukraine to fight Russia. That's when the Wikileaks dumps began. Mueller couldn't connect the dirt to Trump's people because they never had possession of it. The "dirt" got out nonetheless, and Trump promptly started working to lift sanctions on Russia. With both the Kashoggi murder and the Russian hack, Trump said, "There's really no way to prove who did it," and wasn't appropriately angry that they happened. It's ironic that Trump-blinded conspiracy theorists say that we're blind to the truth. Why don't they put their energy into conspiracy theories that make more sense? Oh yeah, it's because THEY are biased.

But that's not the case. There's also a problem with all of these polling location closures. In normal times, your polling place is always close by. Now, they're making people have to drive across town. Mail in voting makes sense.

  9962.  @morethinkingneeded2112  Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  9964. The media didn't lie to start a probe into Russian collusion. The probe started because Trump lied about collusion with Russia. Imagine if Clinton had won, and during the campaign we knew that: - Clinton said, "Russia, if you're listening, if you can find Trump's deleted emails..." - The Russians were meddling in her favor and hacked the RNC. - Knowing about this meddling, Clinton had the DNC platform changed to favor Russia's war on Ukraine. Then, after Clinton won - but lost the popular vote, it was revealed that: - New President Clinton appointed a man to head the State Department who had received Russia's highest award for a foreigner. (This goes too deep to summarize in this post. Funny, Tillerson was one of Trump's most qualified cabinet picks - until Trump fired him the day after he publicly criticized Putin). - During the campaign, Chelsae Clinton, John Podesta, and Uma Abeden had met with Russian government surrogates to discuss trading sanction relief for dirt on Donald Trump. - Clinton's son-in-law/top advisor was working on lifting sanctions imposed for the very offense of meddling, plus those imposed for illegally invading Ukraine. - After denying ANY Russian contacts by ANY associates, it turned out that 16 of them had Russian contacts during the campaign. - One associate, a Watergate figure, and self-described "dirty trickster", bragged about contacts with the VERY HACKERS of the RNC, and the VERY WEAPONIZERS of the hacked information. - Clinton's White House Security Advisor was caught discussing sanction relief with a Russian Ambassador during the transition. - Clinton fired the FBI Director and said that she did it "because the Clinton/Rusher thing is a 'hoax'". - President Hillary Clinton continued to cast doubt on the fact that Russia meddled at all, against the findings of the FBI and CIA, and continued to resist imposing sanctions for that very meddling. - More was revealed about Clinton's financial ties to shady Russian banks known to be involved in money laundering. (The analogy gets a little crazy here, since Clinton was a New York Senator and resident. You get the point, right? Lots of Russian money is laundered through New York real estate - Trump's home state and lifelong profession). NOW, WOULDN'T YOU WANT AN INVESTIGATION?? If you say no, you are a liar! But wait, there's more...During the investigation, imagine that we found out that: - After saying she had no deals pending in Russia, Clinton was revealed to have been working on opening a huge hotel in Moscow during the campaign. - John Podesta was offering insider polling data and briefings on the campaign to a Russian intelligence officer to whom he owed money. - Podesta is convicted of multiple felonies, including Conspiracy against the United States. - Clinton's lawyer pleads guilty to multiple felonies and implicates President Clinton, herself, as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation involving bank fraud and tax evasion. The feds cite her as "Individual 1". - Clinton's disgraced National Security Advisor pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about those sanction discussions with the Russians. - Clinton's "dirty trickster" is arrested for multiple felonies. - Yet another Clinton staffer, a campaign National Security Advisor she swears was just a "coffee boy" pleads guilty to lying to the FBI about suggesting a meeting with the Russians for their help with the election. - I'll just throw out a few more names here: Carter Page, Rick Gates, Hope Hicks, Jeff Sessions...all tied to the Russia thing in varying degrees... If Mueller declined to recommend indicting Clinton - who was unindictable anyway...If Mueller declined to indict Chelsae and her husband, who President Hillary would surely pardon, WOULD YOU SAY, "NO HARM, NO FOUL. GEE, I GUESS IT REALLY WAS ALL JUST A WITCH HUNT AFTER ALL. WE OWE CLINTON AN APOLOGY"?? I didn't think so.

  9965. Has the Confederate flag always been seen as an intolerable symbol of racism? I remember an 80s show called "The Dukes of Hazard", featuring a car with a big Confederate flag on the roof. Those were just some good, ole boys who were never meanin' no harm. How racist could it have been if 1980s TV executives didn't see a problem broadcasting it in prime time? I always thought it was weird that we displayed the flag of a failed rebellion. When ISIS was driven from Syria and Iraq, they didn't keep flying the ISIS flag. The fact that we did it in America could be seen as an example of tolerance in a free country. Yes, the Confederate flag is NOW seen as too racist to fly. But just remember, not everyone who displays it is a racist. It was HIJACKED by racists. Most of those people are just Civil War buffs or people simply expressing Southern pride the same way some black people like to wear African adornments to express black pride. Yes, let people know you find that flag offensive, but don't act like everyone who has one is a member of the Klan - especially if you want that racist, Trump, out of the White House. All you will do is give him more votes from Southerners who will become soldiers in the culture war he is fueling.

  9991. Soraeon - All true, but the fact remains, as you said in another comment and like I said, by definition, it's not terrorism. That's a word that gets over-used because people want to convey the emotion and seriousness. I get that. But we also have literal distinctions for a reason. After 9/11, there was this little push to call suicide bombers "homicide bombers" to take away any legitimacy the word "suicide" may have given them. It was to not make them martyrs. But that phrase, thankfully, didn't catch on because it was simply inaccurate. They're suicide bombers, plain and simple. Also, especially after 9/11, dictators and spin doctors started using the word "terrorism" to describe things that were not really terrorism. Words are for convention, and they should be as specific as possible, because eventually, the meanings will get skewed. If this makes any sense, (I'm not the world's most articulate person), we have to constantly maintain language.

  10008. jamie mcphee - FactCheck.org® FACTCHECK POSTS Trump Tweets Conspiracy Theory About Deleted Votes By Rem Rieder Posted on November 13, 2020 In a tweet, President Donald Trump on Nov. 12 pushed the baseless theory that voting systems deleted millions of votes for him and switched thousands of votes cast for him to his Democratic rival, President-elect Joe Biden. No evidence has been produced to support that assertion. Hours after Trump’s tweet, a group of federal, state and local officials overseeing the nation’s voting system said that in the recent election, “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” The joint statement, by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, described the recent voting as “the most secure in American history.” The statement was distributed by the federal government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

  10012. 2020 is the Democrats' to lose. A Democratic blowout should be easy. In 2016, a lot of people, even I, myself, wasn't sure that Trump would be a total disaster if he won. What if he was just ACTING like a jackass as a candidate, but would change if he won? We didn't know yet for sure. But he proved the old saying true - "When someone shows you who they are, believe them". Another old saying - "Once, shame on you. Twice, shame on me". The Dems have a horrible strategy. There are too many candidates running too early. The early bird gets the worm, and they need to court donors. But they don't have to be so overt about it SO SOON. Trump might not even be the nominee. He might be removed, resign, or be primaried. Dems want to run against the devil they know, against a wounded Trump. But if he is wounded enough this time next year, his own party might get rid of him for the same reason they support him now - To keep their party in power. Republicans might pull the old bait and switch. Democrats - It's too many too soon! The media has to cover you when you announce things, and then, people will get burned out and tune out. You are writing THEIR attack ads while Trump is already writing yours. Fly under the radar. Wait a few months and see where things are going. Don't divide yourselves for the conquering.

  10015. Slinger of Truth - TDS, huh? Tell me the following is not cause for suspicion: -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

He's like a child with ADHD, and many people close to him have said that. Race? Are you kidding? You're slamming the VP to the first black president, who chose a black running mate, to make the case for Trump, the overt racist? Really? Those FOX News talking points you spout have never made sense.

Does it upset you that he lies all the time? Because if not, you are just a ridiculous hypocrite.

  10033. mrfayetteville91 - LOL! Incoherent BS by someone recording their TV. Are you serious?? You should familiarize yourself with the term, "confirmation bias". I've watched all of those ridiculous videos and debunked every one. And I notice you ignore the question - Are you upset about Donald Trump lying all the time? Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. Trump has lied over 16,000 times in 3 years. Even if those videos about CNN were true, that's still such a tiny fraction of the number of Trump's lies in a much, much longer period, involving many, many reporters, and virtually none of them are deliberate lies. They are mistakes and mischaracterisations. Reporters who lie are promptly fired because they cost news outlets a lot of money and credibility. That Covington kid thing, which was NOT a lie, but a mistake, cost them dearly. That's why it's rare. But just stay in your bubble and ignore the lies of a politician whose party and following refuse to hold accountable. When it all hits home - and it will - you will see the light, when it's too late.

  10034. mrfayetteville91 - What kind of excuse is that? "How could he keep his presidency with that many lies?" Because apparently, it's hard as hell to remove a president. It's literally never happened. Apparently, the Republicans don't care, and they have a Senate majority. Is it any wonder he's drawn to the Russians? They are the masters of propaganda. Are you saying he hasn't told that many lies? You aren't refuting a single claim. Your excuse is a disproven theory that nobody could get away with that much. With power, they can. Just look at the authoritarians of the 20th century. It reminds me of that excuse Trump followers use to "prove" Trump isn't capitalizing on his presidency because "he's already very rich", as if there are no greedy rich people.

  10035. mrfayetteville91 - ...and those lies weren't used against him during the impeachment because most were off the subject. It was about his solicitation of foreign election interference, and the Republicans refused to allow witnesses and documents to prove he lied about that. I am far from biased. I'm quick to raise an eyebrow when I hear bs from a Democrat MORE than with a Republican because I usually vote Democrat, and I don't want anyone harming the party. Trump followers act like Catholic bishops who protect pedophile priests and police chiefs who protect dirty cops. There will be bad apples in EVERY institution and organization. If you don't want them to make the whole bunch look bad, you disown them. You don't OWN them. You purge them. Blind loyalty is for your hometown football team, not your politicians.

So, it's okay to lie to us constantly without swearing on a Bible? The Starr investigation started with an investigation about a land deal in Arkansas. It turned up nothing, so, instead of dropping the matter, they went with the extramarital affair. The Mueller investigation turned up 10 instances of obstruction of justice and found lots of collusion with Russia. Yes, COLLUSION. Trump wasn't charged with CONSPIRACY. He and his team were reaching out to the Russian government, meeting with them, and lying about it. That's a hell of a lot of probable cause. But Republicans say THIS is a witch hunt??

But I know there is hatred out there for us. Being the "world's police" is a double edged sword. There are countries that want us to go in and protect them, then complain when we stay. A lot of times, it's the people who want one, and the regime that wants the other. And what do we sound like if we complain about that? We can't exactly whine about being treated unfairly. It's a fine line that Trump definitely doesn't understand. I guess I think, I know we have blood on our hands, but not as much as some think.

  10049. Carlos Vacano - Are you seriously comparing the amount of lying the average politician does to Trump's habitual dishonesty? Google the Washington Post's list of over 3000 lies he has told since taking office. Character doesn't matter anymore? Republicans sure wouldn't shut up about it when they were going after Bill Clinton. They kept saying "Character matters", and "It wasn't the sex, it was the lying".

  10050. 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.

  10051. Carlos Vacano - First, yes they all have to do with the American people. Character. The style in which he operates. Second, I clearly said I was not going to rank 5 of them out if OVER 3000. All I did was throw out some right off the top of my head. It is clear you were trying to bait me or whoever to give an answer that you could say has nothing to do with the people. I say it all does, and I clearly explained why I believe that in previous posts. Remember Bill Clinton and Lewinkski? That was a lie about his personal life that even Republicans said was about the lying, not the cheating. I don't care about Trump's cheating, but his affair had an added element of using a payoff, which goes to campaign finance violations. By the way, right after the election, the FEC determined he had misappropriated $3 million.

How did Hillary get two dozen or so US and foreign intelligence agencies on board with a future smear campaign if she happened to lose? Did Clinton set up the Trump Tower meeting? Did she set up the Papadopoulos meeting with the Australian? Did she make Kushner, Flynn, Sessions, Don Jr, Page and Manafort lie? Or were those just separate incidences of trying to get dirt on Clinton from RUSSIANS while Clinton, (instead of being busy, you know, campaigning), just happened to be conspiring to frame Trump for colluding with... RUSSIANS! Donald Trump needs to explain what the hell he thinks is going on. Wonder why he won't?

Only the president could veto such a deal, so why aren't you people saying that all nine agencies plus the White House were involved? Oh yeah, because you idiots screaming about uranium are ignorant, clueless fucks.

  10068. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  10071. There absolutely was collision. That shouldn't even be up for debate. Collusion is not a crime. Collusion is COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for sanction relief. That's a fact. Roger Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the material stolen from the DNC. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence operatives. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing and able to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Does a bear shit in the woods? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? Trump Jr. insists nothing came from the Trump Tower meeting, but he's a proven liar. (Like Michael Cohen? Hmm?). To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The "dirt" on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. It isn't normal to enlist the help of foreign governments in a Presidential campaign. In fact, it's highly illegal - for good reason. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign efforts to infiltrate them. Did Trump's people report those efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting, and then Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". Collusion is not a crime. Whether or not what they did rises to the level of felony Conspiracy is a matter for the courts and for Congress. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. And Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  10072. Trump said he would take another meeting with foreign governments who had dirt, but would call the FBI if HE saw something wrong...but says the FBI is wrong. What a joke! You think he is honest?? He is an habitual liar, and no, it is NOT what normal candidates do.

One of those anti-CRT crusaders told Joy Reid he was happy that now people were aware of CRT because of his efforts. That's like purposely promoting sales of a book you don't want people reading just to have more fuel for the book burning.

  10076.  @ahuramazda980  - A Republican literally went on TV to brag that HE was responsible for people even knowing about CRT. THEY INVENTED THE ISSUE in order to demonize it. It's a 40 year old book rarely taught anywhere and only at the college level. Not to mention, what's the problem with CRT anyway? They never say THAT. They just vaguely allude to some notion that it gets Black people angry. Do YOU even know anything about CRT? I'm sure you do not.

Many of his closet aides plead guilty to felonies. His charity was shut down for "a shocking pattern of illegality". He habitually lied. He used the most divisive rhetoric of any modern president. He displayed authoritarian tendencies. He was narcissistic and devoid of empathy. He whined like a child. He used racist tropes. He's currently failing in his response to a worsening pandemic. He consistently polled 8-10 points behind Biden. His approval rating never went above 49%. He lost the popular vote again by more than the first time. But there's no way he could have possibly lost unless the Democrats cheated? Really??

  10084. Anyone else frustrated that George Santos was rightly, promptly run out of office for being an HABITUAL LIAR, but an even bigger HABITUAL LIAR gets away with it? Media, Dems, stop playing Wack-A-Mole with each individual lie. Make the narrative that TRUMP ALWAYS LIES.

  10087. Trump has basically said that money trumps morals and security. Even when he was campaigning, he said, "The Saudis buy my real estate. Why wouldn't I be friends with them?" Trump followers - how does it feel knowing you elected a President who shamelessly says he has a price?

  10091. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  10094.  @Jim-MT  - No, under Trump the economy got slightly better. COVID happened on his watch. If he wants credit, he also has to take blame. You think he did ANYTHING with Warp Speed that wouldn't have happened under any president? What do you think he did? Nothing. He said, "Get this done" and that was it. Then, he did NOTHING ELSE to solve the problem. He made it MUCH worse. He supported doing NOTHING. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID. "Obummer"? Grow up.

  10095. @Rill - The first line in your post is absolutely false. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Obama inherited a big financial crisis from Bush, which Obama turned around. Get the basic facts before you post nonsense.
    1
  10096. @Rill - The numbers don't lie, and I doubt it would have fixed itself. It's debatable how much the actions of the executive branch have on the economy, but it seems the people commenting here want to assign credit/blame based on who is in the White House, and start blaming Obama, even bringing him up at all, as whataboutism in response to valid criticism of Trump. Bush left us in recession with high unemployment. Obama came in and we got out of the recession and unemployment was cut in half. Obama added to the debt and bailed out the banks and auto industries, but they repaid that debt. Trump inherited a good economy. It got a little better under him, but he ran up a massive deficit - which he had a big hand in since he pushed for and signed the tax cuts into law, and he added much more to the national debt than Obama. Trump left office with an economy in the toilet and sky high unemployment. The pandemic happened on his watch, but that doesn't absolve him from blame. Something always happens on any president's watch, and Trump made the pandemic much, MUCH worse than it had to be.

  10098.  Junie Jake  - "Your spouting media propaganda." That's what so many of you ignorant people say, complete with spelling "you're" incorrectly. Really? When was what I said even on CNN? When was that ever a talking point? What did Obama do to help the economy? Have you ever asked yourself what Trump did? Because he CONTINUED the same economic policies except for running up a huge deficit with those tax cuts for the rich, and added a huge amount to the national debt. Do you really think Trump listened to the details economic advisors gave him? Do you think he studied it, even for one hour? They had to explain to him why interest rates couldn't be lowered to zero and simply print more money!

  10099. @Rill - Trump reacted fine to COVID ?? He lied his ass off about it and literally supported doing NOTHING to stop it. All he did was go on and on about stopping SOME flights from China and blaming China. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment.

  10100. @Rill - 7 times more lethal than the worst flu season. Get your facts straight before you post nonsense. 600,000 people died. Imagine how many would have died if we had treated it like Trump wanted us to. Yes, masks and lockdowns absolutely were effective. Do you even know what an airborne virus is? No contact, no transmission. Are you really that ignorant?
    1
  10101. @Rill - Third leading cause of death in 2020. Do you think it wouldn't have been the number one cause if we had treated it like the common flu? The economy and health care system would have crashed hard. 2.2 million Americans would have died. That's one number Trump believed the experts about as he tried to take credit for saving 2.2 million lives.
    1
  10102. @Rill How would you know it wasn't accurate? Again, Trump sure believed it was accurate. You don't think that something that killed 600,000 Americans even with the lockdowns, masks and vaccines wouldn't have killed 2.2 million without them?? All you're doing is making baseless assumptions.

If nobody saw it, Republican officials would think, "Well, we can pull a 'Weekend at Mar-a-Lago.' A lifeless Trump is better than a live Democrat, and his base is too stupid to catch on.

  10117. Bovine One - And Trump is trying like hell to do that. He is being impeached for it. By law, Congress approves foreign aid. Trump has diverted funds from other congressionally appropriate funds. He dangled pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. He instructed people to defy legal subpoenas. He diverted the whistleblower complaint to the DOJ. His aids have literally had to tell him what he has wanted to do is illegal. He ran an illegal charity. He ordered his lawyer to commit bank fraud...He literally said, "Article 2 lets me do whatever I want", and said that those who criticize him should leave the country.

  10118. Bovine One - There are laws regulating those rights. Trump told his people to take residents' land for his wall without going through the process, and said he would pardon them if they got caught. That's a fact.

  10123. Hell no, he wasn't joking, and if he had been, he should still be impeached for being that stupid. He used that "joking" excuse about dangling pardons to get his wall built quickly. DEMS NEED TO INVESTIGATE THAT. They need to subpoena everyone he supposedly joked to, and ask them if they took it as a joke or took action. I'm SICK of this "he was joking" bullshit!

  10124. Obama had a plan in place to counterattack Russia if they had launched a cyber-attack on election day. Think Trump has a plan?
    1
  10125. I think a lot of people forget that he actually endorsed police brutality. He said cops should slam suspect's heads into squad cars. Funny, but when Trump is credibly accused of something, he starts whining about how suspects are innocent until proven guilty, (as if even the guilty forfeit their civil right to not get beaten down by the cops).

  10126. H Pn - He isn't stopping them, though. Duuuh.

  10127. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

  10133. I've said it a million times, and I'll say it again - POLITICIANS ARE NOT ROCK STARS. Can Trump act? Can he dance? Can he deliver a joke? Play guitar? Sing? Do you want your mother's heart surgeon to be an "ordinary good-ole' boy" just like you? I want the brooding public servant who needs half a Xanax and half a bottle of Maalox to fall asleep at night. The old guy who doesn't give a shit how tanned he looks on TV. I realize we have trust issues with politicians. We should. They're generally a lying bunch of assholes. But we've traded bad for worse with Trump. I blame the media - for their sensationalism - not for their FACT-CHECKING. We are seeing what could be the beginning of the end of an empire. It doesn't have to be that way. It will be Russia that takes over in its wake, and no, the Russians will not give two shits about Trump "getting along" with them. They'll take the world back 100 years, and the whole thing will start over again. But you won't see it, because you'll be dead.

  10147. Clay FKN Brown - The thread is about fake polls. Youtube videos are not scientific polls. If you think the poll is inaccurate, then what do you think the "real" percentage is? Common sense. About half the country votes Democrat. Trump has never reached across the aisle, and he practically sees Democrats as enemies. It stands to reason that about half the country wants him out. Think, McFly.

  10148. Clay FKN Brown - What videos? Everybody in those videos thinking Hillary would win by a lot has nothing to do with what everybody who was polled thinks. Podesta's strategy was not to win by a lot. Polls are SO accurate that all elections have become so equally matched that NO election is won by a lot. Hillary got more votes, period. The polls were accurate. There is no reason for independent, or even media pollsters to fake them, and they more or less agree with each other.

But I see, AT THE SAME TIME you people complain that too many people criticize him harshly and the media is brainwashing the public, you try to say everybody really loves him. You are literally making shit up, and it shows your ignorance.

  10159. Z W - How? In testimony. They have been releasing transcripts daily of witnesses corroborating the fact that this was a quid pro quo, basically an extortion plot, executed by Giuliani and his thug operatives, to run a shadow "foreign policy" to get Ukraine to suggest corruption by the Bidens and the DNC.

  10161. Jordan Myers - Black face was used in the Jim Crow days to degrade blacks. If it was whites who were enslaved for 400 years and still, although equal under law, were statistically proven to be treated unfairly, you would probably think differently. I'm not very PC. I think people should be able to paint their faces the color of the character they go trick-or-treating as, but black face is different. We're not there yet. We should respect that blacks don't like a few words and things the same way you wouldn't want to be called a nickname you don't like. And to say they can't handle equality is just, plain racist generalizing.

  10162. Ziff Edu - Exactly. He said, "articulate", then stressed the word, "monkey". Plus, he used "monkey this up" in such an odd context. I'm not one if thosr uppity, PC type liberals, but this was obvious dog whistling.

  10163. It's a shame, because I'm a white liberal, but not a PC liberal, and I can't stand all of the over-sensitivity. I use the word, "ghetto" sometimes. Hell, I am ghetto in many ways, but I truly have close black friends, and never mean it in a racist way. It's people like this racist douchebag who make people like me have to watch their mouth for fear I'll be taken the wrong way. I want the "N" word to die a natural death because there is no good context to use it unless you're quoting a racist or being ironic. Everyone knows what the bad words are. No new racial slurs! That asshole isn't helping, and I hope he gets his ass kicked in the election.

  10165. Conspiracy theorists like theories that implicate their own government. It's why they believe the irrational "deep state" conspiracies, but reject the much more likely Trump/Russia scandal. What a waste. Conspiracy theorists should be working for our country, not against it. I get it. It's a defense mechanism to show they won't be fooled by those who have power over them. Isn't that ironic?

  10169. BallTistic Screecher - Did you even let your brain digest my comment before you replied? The problem with conspiracy theorists is that they start with a preconceived notion and work backwards. I'm not saying there wasn't foul play, and I'm not saying there was. Remember that guy who held those girls hostage for, like, 20 years. Do you think he was murdered? He may not have had as many people as Epstein who wanted him dead, but would it really matter if you're going to live your remaining years in prison less respected than the cockroaches? My point is that you have to FIRST take things at face value. The fucking President of the United States has been putting forth conspiracy theories for the past decade or so, and even accusing a former POTUS of shit relating to this very matter. He is normalizing this crap because conspiracy theorists just can't stand to use common sense, and that should worry everybody.
    1
  10170. Conspiracy theorists like theories that implicate their own government. It's why they choose the irrational "deep state" conspiracy over the much more likely Trump/Russia scandal. It's one reason why Trump sold himself as an outsider to the government. What a waste. Conspiracy theorists should be working for our country, not against it. I get it. It's a defense mechanism to show they won't be fooled by those who have power over them. Isn't that ironic?

  10173. Shawn Fischer - Russians hacked 21 states' voter roll software. They weaponized the DNC emails - with the support of the Trump campaign. They used every major social media platform. They put out false information about how to vote. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it would have swung the election. They funnelled cash to the Trump camp via the NRA. They used tactics they've been refining for decades. Think they'd do it if it didn't work? It wasn't just screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted, code-named operation.

  10182. All Trump did was interrupt every time Pelosi and Schumer spoke to repeat, "We need border security". Yes, douchebag, border security was the topic. The whole shit show was Trump giving an ultimatum - Only a wall will provide security, and without it, he's shutting down the government and blaming Dems for having the audacity to not cave in to a ridiculous demand. He lied about the wall being started. It's maintenance for pre-existing barriers. And what happened to Mexico paying? Oh, yeah, that was just a campaign promise. Why would anyone take it seriously? My God, Trump is so incompetent on the most basic levels! This guy wrote "The Art of the Deal"??

  10184. Rachel Madison - Bernie should never have run for president after labeling himself a socialist. At the very least, he should explain what a Democratic Socialist is. He was asked about this, and instead explaining, he spewed out some crap about having to defeat Donald Trump. This is going to come down to an ignorant group of swing voters who will think socialism is whatever the Republicans say it is.

  10185. Trump's people have been digging for dirt on Biden with a jackhammer. They have been looking over everything he did as a VP and a Senator. And they've come up with nothing. Same with Hillary Clinton. Uranium One? Some deep state conspiracy theory about HER colluding with Russia? She was a Senator, Sec. of State, and First Lady, and that's what they came up with? This should show how NOT corrupt they are. When Ken Starr went after Bill Clinton, he looked at EVERY aspect of his and his family's life. Coming up with NOTHING, the Republicans impeached him anyway over one lie about his personal life. THAT was a witch hunt. Trump going after Biden is a fishing expedition. How is it that so many Trump followers can't see their astounding level of hypocrisy and projection?

What if she had lied about pursuing a business deal with them? What if 16 of her staffers all lied about their contacts with Russians? Imagine if her people were working to lift their sanctions. Imagine if Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..." Imagine if her campaign manager had offered to brief the Russians and had given them polling data. Imagine if she then denied that they even interfered, against the findings of the CIA and FBI. What if she had fired the FBI Director and said she had done it to stop a probe? You Trump followers wouldn't want an investigation?

Here are some FACTS about our disgraced former president:
    1
  10195.  @jeffmoncalieri7491  - He obviously didn't say that literally. He did, though, repeat ad nauseam that we should get along with Russia. It was usually a response to questions that constantly arose about his ties to Russia and why he always gave in to Putin.
    1
  10196.  @Dean4511  - - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

I don't think Biden is crooked or racist at all, but the MAGA crowd will argue until the end of time that a little nepotism or saying something racially stupid is full-on corruption and racism, so my point is that even if you THINK Biden is crooked or racist, it's ridiculous to say that in defense of Trump, who is crooked as a barrel of snakes and racist as hell.

  10215.  @Truth3544  I love how you MAGA folk pick one thing about him, then ask, "How does THAT make him..?" Nobody said putting America first makes him a dictator. Duh. His authoritarian tendencies make him a dictator. His obsession with DICTATING makes him a dictator. And funny how you folks love to call everyone on the left a "communist". You realize Biden beat Sanders, right? Do you realize Biden is criticized for being a too much of a CAPITALIST, corporate shill? And funny how you decry communism, but don't care one bit that Trump cozies up to Putin, former KGB agent, who wants his Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics back. Think, McFly.

  10216.  @Truth3544  Make no mistakes. The Chinese want Trump in power. They can manipulate him. They can bribe him. He approved of their concentration camps. He caved on Hong Kong. His trade war is a failure - nothing but an import tax on US companies. When Trump starts telling you China is helping Biden, don't believe it. And don't believe that absurd lie about Biden somehow taking a BILLION DOLLAR Chinese bribe. Biden wants to ACTUALLY move manufacturing back to the US, not just lie about it like Trump is doing.

  10231. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  10239. A little exercise to test your own bias: Think of every time you've defended Donald Trump and every issue on which you've criticized his opposition - Russia, COVID 19, media coverage, false statements, foreign affairs...If you search Google or Youtube, what do you type into the box? Now, on those same issues, replace his face with that of Obama or Hillary Clinton. Replace that R with a D. Do you find yourself rationalizing? I am confident that on 99% of those issues, you would take the OPPOSITE position. If you doubt me, just wait. When a Democrat is in the White House again, you'll find yourself being hyper-critical of that Democrat for issues on which you previously excused Trump, or you'll be saying "what about?" about the "what about?" I guarantee it.

  10243. Do you Trump defenders hear themselves?? It's one thing to argue facts. It's another to ignore facts, say "You just hate him", and pretend we don't have VALID concerns. But it's yet another thing to be HYPOCRITICAL about it! You know damn well that if it was Hillary Clinton, you would be outraged. Trump's behavior is NOT normal. You may say that's what you like about him, but don't act like that abnormality shouldn't be met with resistance. Imagine an airline pilot, after takeoff, announced, "I'll be letting my 14 year old son fly the plane today. He has no training. He's been drinking all day, but the kid's really good at piloting". Then, when you protest, he he says, "Oh, quit your bitching. He's never crashed before". With the Russia probe, people tend to assume Trump, himself, is the "biggest fish", but really, he is the second biggest. Putin is the biggest fish. The Russians attacked our election. The feds and the intelligence people would have been neglecting their duties if they DIDN'T investigate this. The reason we had to get a Special Council is because Trump refused to realize this. You can argue that Trump is innocent, but you cannot say he hasn't been acting the way guilty people act. Trump and SIXTEEN of his associates lied about 101 denied Russian contacts. That is a FACT, and NONE have offered a reasonable explanation. Cut the crap with that "witch hunt" and "fake news" BS! You can't even say, if the media didn't, technically LIE, then they're "biased". You lost that angle when Trump co-opted FOX News as a virtual PR arm of the government. ALL MSM run the same top stories because they are newsworthy. Do you think British BBC works for the DNC? Do you think partly government funded PBS is biased? Do you think Republicans - who who were FULLY in charge for the first 2 years - wouldn't raise hell if they thought these stories were skewed against Trump? You can have your own opinions, but not your own facts. Didn't Trump run as an outsider and a rebel? Then what the hell did he expect?? Even if you don't like how the FREE press reports FACTS, it is necessary for an informed citizenry, which is crucial to democracy. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You can't focus on CNN, and ignore that ALL of these outlets report the SAME FACTS. You can't act like every piece of suspicious behavior has to be a "smoking gun" or else it is has no merit. There is a HUGE circumstantial case here. Furthermore, if Mueller totally absolves Trump, but proves half his staff colluded with Russia, you cannot say, "See, it was a witch hunt". We HAVE TO find out what happened.

  10244. Nogive Nogets - I'm not talking about giving aid to the Mexican government. I'm talking about private sector investments. Marijuana causing laziness is a myth. It motivates me. Also, legalization doesn't lead to increased use. DACA is merit based. Recipients have to work and/or go to school. The coyotes use tunnels. Most illegals overstay the visas you are talking about. Most of the drugs come through legal entry points. Trump is trying to stop legal immigration. Calling asylum seekers invaders is ridiculous. And if Trump wants to keep "anchor babies" out, why is he keeping their kids while deporting their parents?

  10250. - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms - for cheap. It's because of our wealth. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success", except it's not a bullshit excuse for poor war planning. - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall because they're beset on all sides by terrorists who want to kill Jews. We only have two political borders. The 9/11 terrorists came in legally. They boarded planes and bought box cutters legally. Geography has been good to the US. - In Europe, you can't go a few hundred miles without being somewhere the locals speak another language. Spanish is pretty close to English, which is rooted in Latin. The US isn't on the metric system because we have the size, geography, and power to say, "Screw that. We're not changing all of those road signs". Again, "catastrophic success", but this isn't a catastrophe or a national emergency. I'd like to keep ALLIES on our borders...But keep an eye on those shady Canadians. (Seriously. Putin is building military bases up North, and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house in Alaska). - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - Legal weed should be part of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They spray that crumbly, brown shit with pesticides that even Trump won't de-regulate. The "sin tax" on weed, paid by grateful potheads, would pay for his wall faster than anything we could skim from the USMCA. - "It's no fun being an illegal alien" - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If the government was serious about keeping "them" out, it would crack-down on the employers. Why don't they? (Money and special interests). - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Donald Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back".

  10252. Democrat lawmakers should NOT give Trump one thin dime for a fucking wall! I don't care if they give him TWICE as much for sensible border control, but NOT FOR A WALL. Let the government shut down. Yes, we should save DACA. Yes, some compromise is good. But that wall shit will come back and bite them in the ass. Do Dems want to get blamed for giving in? Do they want Republicans asking for more next year to finish it? Do they want to be blamed when fucko uses eminent domain to take peoples' houses? Screwing-up the environment? Letting Trump off the hook for saying Mexico would pay for it? Do they want to give Trump bragging rights? Shit, he probably won't be in office in 2020, or even six months from now. "Chuck and Nancy" need to grow some fucking balls!

If you want them to report the facts, you'd have to accept it when they report the fact that it isn't communists attacking people.

Then, he said conditions in detention centers are "much better than where they came from". - In the same interview, Mike Pence said the conditions in detention centers were unacceptable. Then he said that media reports of bad conditions are false. - Pence also said it's why they needed Congress to appropriate $4.6 billion. Then, he said now was the time for Congress to act. Uh, they did. They appropriated $4.6 billion. And that was IN ADDITION to the emergency funding they already got. (Also, a portion of that $4.6 billion didn't go to the border at all. Senate Republicans wouldn't pass a stand-alone emergency bill). - The head of DHS directly contradicted a DHS REPORT that found conditions in detention centers to be "a ticking time bomb". - Trump says his policies are working to cut down on border crossings, then says there are even more crossings now.

  10282. AllenSymonds - Trump's tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% are NOT stimulating investment. Know why? Because trickle-down doesn't work. Why not? Because we don't REQUIRE the rich to invest or create jobs. Jobs are going to automation. The beneficiaries put that money into machines that replace workers and to pay lobbyists to LOBBY FOR MORE TAX CUTS. These cuts - where 82% of the benefits go to 1% of the population - put the deficit in the trillions. Inflation is out-pacing wages. The stock market is in decline. Trump is deregulating the financial markets, including regulations designed to prevent another crash. Trump is robbing Peter to pay Paul, taking money from FEMA to fund his border baby jails. That's why Republicans are running on fear-mongering poor Hondurans, and not the economy.

  10283. Do you Trump sheep not see how incredibly hypocritical you sound when you cite media dishonesty to defend an habitual liar like Trump?

  10284. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  10285.  D31 5M  Trump dangled pardons for DHS staff who broke eminent domain laws. When caught, he said he was kidding. He said he was being "sarcastic" when he asked Russia to dig up dirt on Clinton. Sarcasm. Right, as if he meant the opposite. As if he would just up and say, "Russia, definitely DON'T hack my opponent," while he knew Russia was trying to help him win. Right. And then, we found out that his top people were meeting with them to...(drumroll).., get dirt on Clinton. Then, he just happened to ask China and Ukraine for help, and, whatdya know, took the position that it's OKAY to take foreign election help.

  10286. In 2000, when the Court gave the Presidency to George Bush when it came down to a state where Bush's brother was governor, did Dems go nuts? Did they refuse to accept the results and start a smear campaign against Bush as "an excuse for a lost election"? When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election, did Dems go nuts? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

  10290. Debating a Trump follower is like debating a Christian about evolution. They're one way talkers. There's no exchange of ideas. Christians always come back to "But Jesus said [insert scripture here]". Trump followers always come back to [insert deep state conspiracy theory and/or regurgitated talking point here]", and I wind up looking for new ways to describe what should be so obvious that it shouldn't need articulation. With Christians, I can just say, "You believe what you want, and so will I." Then I thank God I live in a secular country. But with Trump cultists, I think, "Your blind faith is screwing up the country that's just as much mine as yours." Ironic how a liberal like myself becomes conservative, and vice-versa. Trump is hastily trying to force change on all of us without a care about the concerns of over half the country. He wants to "tear down the administrative state" with no plan to improve it. If you doubt that, look at the health care plan, the "something wonderful", with which he promised to replace the ACA after tearing it down. Liberals like myself want to refer back to the bedrock Constitution before recklessly destroying all of the norms and protocols. That's why I'm not a big Bernie fan. He wants a revolution, too. I doubt it, but his plans could fail miserably. At least he HAS a plan. He's a lot more honest and experienced than Trump. But who knows? Maybe he's also just an old narcissist who thinks he's always right, and wants to prove it to the world before he's forced into retirement. What's my point? I...forgot...(Damn, this is some good weed)...Oh yeah, we need a smart, middle-aged, middle American, experienced moderate in the White House to unite the country before Tump destroys it. That's why I want Amy Klobuchar to be President. We don't need another hero. America is too big for a revolution. This country just needs a good MANAGER. A uniter, not a divider. (If she promises to legalize weed by executive order like Bernie did, I bet she could beat the huge pants off of Donald "I don't need drugs, I get high on power" Trump.

The nerve to say Maxine Waters incited violence! Trump would start a nuclear fucking war if he thought it would end the Russia probe. He has no lower limits. He understands nothing! You think he's smart?? HE WENT TO YALE, BUT CAN'T SPELL "THEY'RE" AND THINKS CAPITALIZING THE FIRST LETTER OF A WORD SHOWS EMPHASIS. ALL CAPS IS HOW YOU DO THAT. He is an habitual liar!

  10316.  @tylerjeb7888  - Pretend for a moment that we live in a world where ulterior motives and "slippery slopes" are impossible. Pretend what you're worried about simply cannot happen. What would things look like right now with regard to the pandemic? Exactly the same. The government would be pushing vaccines and mask mandates because we have to DO SOMETHING about this. We have a Centers for DISEASE CONTROL for just that. It is their DUTY to recommend these measures. Especially since this has become worse than expected, it only makes sense to err on the side of caution. And it's the DUTY of politicians to guard the public health. It doesn't make sense to flout their recommendations. If it's some tool of government control, it's a pretty inefficient one. What do you think it's leading to? It's only leading to less disease. If we'd just do it, it will lead to the end of this crap. So, what's YOUR solution? Ignore it? Go ahead, be the first to actually answer that.

  10324.  @izzywizzy685  Biden absolutely did not lie about the vaccine. He even made a mistake IN TRUMP'S FAVOR by first giving him credit for 10 million doses per DAY. when he meant to say pet WEEK , so WRONG. By the way, use common sense. Why would he lie about something we OBVIOUSLY ALREADY KNEW? Duh. He's not Trump. Did it bother you when Trump lied over 22,000 times? Huh? Biden on Chinese human rights abuses: "What I’m doing is making clear that we, in fact, are going to continue to reassert our role as spokespersons for human rights at the U.N. and other agencies that have an impact on their attitude.  China is trying very hard to become the world leader and to get that moniker. And to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries.  And as long as they’re engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s going to be hard for them to do that." It’s pretty clear that (1) Biden is not excusing China’s human rights abuses on the basis of the need to keep the country united, he’s saying that this is Xi’s rationale for his repressive policies; (2) his comment about “different norms” refers to the norm that requires him, as the American President, to speak out for human rights. https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

And ONLY Biden? Where there is not one shred of evidence of corruption? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that?

  10340. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

  10341. Murica Tv - Everything I listed in each post is FACT. Go ahead, check it out. Those CNN "talking points" are called the news. And I watch and read a lot more than CNN. Where do you get your news? FOX? Youtube hacks? You folks sound like broken records. "CNN lies", "Hillary's emails". What's funny to me is how you keep insisting she's so crooked when nothing has been proven against her, yet no scrutiny for Trump, as EVIDENCE mounts every day as to why his administration, transition, business, charity, "university", and campaign is yielding guilty pleas and admissions of lying. You are willfully ignorant and biased. Plain and simple. By the way, what corruption did the DNC emails expose anyway? You can't say. And don't give me that "Russia is our friend" crap. Putin is a bad guy. A thug who wants his Soviet Union back. He's repressive, and he's a murderer and a thief. I posted something above about what Trump did AFTER he knew Russia was interfering with us. All known fact. Anyone with half a brain and any balls would have done something about that. Try watching the news and just LISTEN TO IT, instead of just automatically bashing it. Go ahead and reply to me if you can disprove ANY of my "heresay".

  10342. Albert Green - Actually, that post is about what is immoral, and not necessarily illegal. You're okay with a Presidential candidate reaching out during an election to the same country trying to screw with that election? If it helps your side, right? He's done plenty illegal. There was a huge pattern of obstruction. The Trump Tower meeting was conspiracy. Why do you think he won't talk to Mueller? He'll get charged for lying to a federal agent. Think he didn't know about the Flynn conversations? The RNC platform change? The Trump Tower meeting? Think he didn't engage in a "shocking pattern of illegality" with his charity?

  10343. 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, the Wikileaks release of hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he'd communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both Trump and Paul Manafort deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did it without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Cause suspicion yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

  10344. Albert Green - Would you people stop saying "collusion isn't illegal". We know. The crime is CONSPIRACY. Collusion is cooperation with criminal intent. Loading a gun isn't a crime, but committing murder with it is. Collusion is a word Trump wants to use so he can claim innocence. He's just trying to muddy the waters.

  10345. Hhytr Ngfd - That's the problem, that the Trump followers aren't worried about the Russians. The President of the United States should worry about the Russians, and he should worry about free and fair elections. But he's a selfish, greedy fucking bastard who doesn't care because they're helping him. Even Nixon said, "People deserve to know if their president is a crook". Trumpers sure would raise bloody hell if Trump was Clinton, and you know that.

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. Funny how those who are mindlessly chanting about a "leftist communist takeover" are those who support a president who cozies up to Putin, the former KGB agent who rules Russia and wants the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics back.

What does partisan politics have to do with Science, Art, Math, Psychology, English, Music...I minored in Philosophy, and I assure you, discussion and debate was welcomed whole-heartedly.

Trump asked Russia to help him, then SAID IT WAS OKAY to solicit foreign election help, and asked China and Ukrainevto help him, also! Trump and his people were reaching out to the foreign government that was attacking our election to help him win! I repeat: THEY WERE REACHING OUT TO THE RUSSIANS, WHO WERE ATTACKING OUR ELECTION TO HELP HIM WIN. You don't think that's cause for an investigation?

    1
  10395.  @raidenspark6629  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  10396. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. -Tried to sell the public snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, and those of the CDC and the COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would all just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing, instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

So...there are...no more four-year terms? So, Dan Quayle, HW Bush and Al Gore just... didn't think about that?? Are they asserting that also gives them the right to summon a riot at the Capitol as long as they insist they really believed they were cheated??

Sometimes it's kind of funny, but it just shows how stupid our society has become. I sure couldn't stand to watch it more than once in a blue moon, but his loyal fan base can't get enough. It's the same with those ridiculous reality game shows like The Apprentice. I never once watched it, and I was only even aware of it from skipping past it with the remote control. Did his followers watch it every day and never get sick of it?

The Mueller probe started after Trump fired Comey, refused to address the Russian interference, and after it was revealed that SIXTEEN Trump associates lied about contacts with Russia after denying ANY contacts at all. Trump's campaign manager, son, and son in law met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. What is wrong with YOU? Can you honestly say those things are not cause for suspicion? Can you honestly say you would be just fine with Hillary's people doing that?

  10425. There are 87 known communications between Trump campaign members and Russian agents. In total, over 70 of them were denied by those involved. ----- A server in Trump Tower received 80% of its communication requests from a Russian bank. 19% came from the DeVos family. All of the rest made up the remaining 1%. ----- Former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was CEO of Exxon. He had received one of Russia's highest awards a foreigner could receive. Exxon had lost a $500 billion oil deal with a Russian state oil company after Russia was sanctioned over its invasion of Ukraine. Trump fired Tillerson after he criticized Russia. ----- During his campaign, Trump denied having any deals with Russia. Turns out, he was trying to get a Trump Tower in Moscow...

  10434. Trump exploits TECHNICALITIES. He wants to be taken literally or figuratively depending on what makes him look better or gets him off the hook. First, he insisted that collusion wasn't a crime, and it isn't. Technically, he couldn't be charged, but was it OKAY to welcome the help of a foreign government? Then, after the report, he kept repeating the LIE that Mueller said "there was no collusion", as if he was cleared of an actual crime. He sure calls it a crime that Clinton "colluded" with Russia with that dossier. (That was NOT collusion. The accusation is wrong on many levels. But let's say it was for a moment. The dossier was collusion, but the Trump Tower meeting wasn't? He can't have it both ways). He says things that have been considered racist, xenophobic tropes, embedded in some of our worst history, and wants us to PROVE his words are racist. "What's wrong with just stating a fact?" Then, he turns around and accuses Democrats and the media of racism for even questioning his rhetoric. According to him, anything that technically doesn't break the law is okay. Beyond that, anyone who QUESTIONS his behavior has committed TREASON! Recently, he ostensibly said that people who complain about his government should leave the country. He said they HATE AMERICA, a country FOUNDED by immigrants on the right to air grievances and not be ruled by a dictator! What's more, he complains about the government more than anyone. He bitches about how he is portrayed on Saturday Night Live. Imagine that - SNL lampooning the president. Even crazier is that he's a New Yorker who has hosted SNL! How do his followers not see the hypocrisy? How do they not smell the bullshit?

  10446. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

(Wray, Trump's appointee, threatened to quit just like McGahn) 5- Concocted a cover-up for his son about the Trump Tower meeting.... These are items of evidence THAT WE KNOW FOR SURE ARE CRIMES. Wait until you hear more and more about who else he interfered with to try to shut down the probe - Nunes, Grassley, Sessions, Coates, Pompeio, Bahrara, Yates...

If they do it enough, for all intents and purposes, they are a liar. What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? : The "shithole" comment. Saying he didn't want blacks to count his money, but wanted Jews to count it. Calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He repeatedly refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to black people. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. Think about it - He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive to many, HE REPEATS THEM! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! He shouldn't even have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader?? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is the PERCEPTION. These are fair criticisms. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a BIGOT WHO PANDERS TO RACISTS! He is a racist.

  10452. Daniel - And just how is this voter "scheme" supposed to work?
    1
  10453. 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.

If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

On the left, you have CNN, MSNBC, CBS, PBS, ABC, BBC...and on the right, FOX News. But anyone who can come in and compete with FOX News for the conservative slant will BECOME seen as "liberal" media. Maybe OAN can replace FOX News as the big, hyper-partisan, absurd propaganda outlet for the right, and FOX can move left and actually compete with the rest of the media for what is known as "straight news".

  10471. If it was up to me, this is what I would demand. (I THINK it's basically what the Dems want, but they haven't really put it out there in any detail): - A few billion for border security, PARTLY earmarked for PHYSICAL BARRIERS, and the rest for all else related to border security. (If Trump doesn't have the will or attention span to read, calculate, or hire people who can, he shouldn't be POTUS). - No "down payment" on a huge project costing tens of billions. Take it year by year. Barriers aren't skyscrapers. You can build them piece by piece without leaving anyone holding the bag, and the pieces are still effective. (This isn't some failed building project where half a casino is worth nothing). - An end to measures taken, since Trump took office, to block asylum seekers from seeking asylum. If he wants to call this a "humanitarian crisis", he can't be selective about who qualifies as human. - REAL protection for DACA recipients. I've got no problem with ending DACA, but honor the deal for those already in it. Don't keep them guessing or use them as pawns. DACA is merit-based. Amnesties work. Those opposed to any form of amnesty should get over it. Their situations are not their fault. (Even adults who cross illegally mostly do so to work for people who ILLEGALLY hire them. Share the blame). - Trump would have to sign a non-binding document stating that he'll work in GOOD FAITH to approach the immigration issue free of what is generally seen as xenophobic rhetoric and fear mongering. Good faith in getting accurate cost estimates, and being honest with the public about them. (I say "non-binding" because, let's be real, he'll sooner stick to that than actually get Mexico to pay for a wall. At least he'd be on record). Then, we reopen the government, "release the hostages" on BOTH SIDES, and then, the work BEGINS. We need comprehensive immigration reform. (GW Bush, a Texan, spoke better Spanish than English, and he couldn't do it). It should include an EFFICIENT path to citizenship, reform of drug laws - including demand side, lots of research, state-by-state federal fund allotment, technology, BARRIERS WHERE PRACTICAL, mutually beneficial US/Mexican economic policies...It's a huge thing. Unfortunately, Trump is a small, petty manchild with a big ego.

  10473. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  10476. Trump cannot take much credit for decimating ISIS. 1)- He publicly stated that he was against going into Syria, where the caliphate was based. 2)- Early on, Trump, rightfully, ceded a lot of decision-making power to the Generals. 3)- He's so ignorant about the military that he said we should have sneaked the Iraqi army into Mosul. 4)- He wanted to assassinate Assad. If that happened, ISIS would be strengthened. (Not to mention, we'd have major conflict with Russia). The US position used to be that the Assad regime must go. Trump changed it to allowing Assad to stay for now. 5)- War plans to fight ISIS were drawn up before Trump was in office.

  10477. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

  10481. 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.

  10484. You'd think politicians would love to federally de-criminalize - or at least remove it from the same category as coke and heroin. Mainly because money lost to the black market, and to Mexico would become tax revenue for the US. Also, we lose a lot of job productivity and have high job absenteeism due to alcohol. I'm a firm believer that easier access to pot means less drinking. I drink, but less frequently and less per session when I smoke weed. Less alcohol, fewer and less intense hangovers, and pot mitigates hangovers. It's a wonder drug for me. It cures my chronic insomnia without making me wake up groggy like with OTC sleep aides (that often don't work), and benzos. Alcohol actually causes insomnia. Some people say they sleep like a baby when they drink. Not me. And weed also helps me wake up. I'm an ogre in the morning, but a few bong hits with my coffee, and I'm ready to go. The alcohol industry is against legalization, and I think that's why. Maybe they're donating to (bribing) the politicians.

CIA analysts couldn't care less when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the Democrats. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat.

  10490. There's a BIG difference between people seeking a test and test administrators seeking people. Aside from on the job testing, at this point, I see no reason to seek a test. If you don't have symptoms, take precautions. If you do, self-quarantine and prepare to seek medical help if necessary. Finding out where and how many cases there are should come from sampling the population. Contact tracing is useless when there's already community spread. Does it matter whether you caught it at Wal-Mart or at a restaurant? It's everywhere.

  10491.  @johnmininger7472  Early on, absolutely. Now, I think people should just step-up the safety measures and assume that they might get it if they go to bars or crowded events. Those tests take two weeks to get results now. It seems like if someone is worried enough to get tested, they should be worried enough to take precautions.

  10492. America is 64% vaccinated with at least one dose. That's as good as it's gonna get. Most who've had one dose will get the second. Most of the other 36% won't even get the first. It's no coincidence that 36% is also the steady MAGA percentage. COVID was so politicized, I'd bet a dime to a bottle of worm spit that most who refuse the vaccine are MAGA folk. I predict COVID won't go away entirely. The MAGA crowd will keep it around enough to mutate into more stubborn strains. It won't be as bad, but bad enough to cause a large number of cases, still much worse than the flu, into the winter. Data will show most of those infected will be MAGA morons. There may be surges in some areas where the CDC will recommend wearing masks again. I'm vaccinated, but I wouldn't mind wearing one again, only to hide my laughter at the fools. We can't segregate into blue and red states or create Magastan, wall it off, (unlike Mexico, I'd gladly help pay for it), and let their fantasy utopia fail without them being able to blame liberals. But COVID is one area where we'll be separate. It won't affect us as long as they don't raise health insurance premiums on those who got vaccinated. (Hey MAGAtards, you have us who wore masks and got shots to thank for there not being 2.2 million deaths and the economy and health care systems not completely crashing, you selfish, anti-social, paranoid freaks).

Is somebody else wearing a cloth on their face oppressing you? Was it really too much to ask for you to wear one a little longer while it killed 600,000, sickened many more and put them in debt, and threatened to crash the economy and the health care system? It's a friggin cloth. You can thank those of us who wore them and got vaccinated for the fact that 2.2 million didn't die and that we didn't go into a bad economic depression.

  10506. Trump gets little credit for the economy. 1)- Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term, but it creates a bubble. 82% of the benefits from the tax cuts go to the top 1%! Now that Trump is ballooning the deficit - into the trillions - with those tax cuts, he's saying we have to tighten the belt. He just cut raises for government employees. Inflation is rising faster than wages now. 2)- Under Obama, the unemployment rate was cut in half - from around 10% to around 5%. Trump only gets credit for not screwing that up. It has come down only a few tenths of a percent on his watch. Black unemployment is down because all unemployment is down. What policy has he implemented to account for blacks specifically?

  10507. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  10514. THE FBI IS NOT FULL OF POLITICIANS! Think about it - Who works for the FBI? COPS. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to become political idealists. They joined to bust drug dealers, murderers, mafia thugs and money launderers. That's the nature of the business. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them when they suddenly had to deal with a perfect storm of having to make decisions about two unpopular presidential candidates who were both under investigation - both for good reason - during an election year. And if you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans, at least half. Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller and McCabe are all Conservatives. If Trump was so great, and appealed to enough Conservative Republicans to get elected, why is it such a stretch to believe members of the conservative-leaning FBI wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with Liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Sure, Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass, saying controversial things during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might settle down and "pivot" once he got elected. We thought he might not end up lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every single day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal" FBI shit is nonsense!

How many times have you heard his associates say, "I think what the President MEANT was..," and then blame liberals and the media for misunderstanding? Or said he was "joking" about things he's OBVIOUSLY not joking about? At the Helsinki summit, he said we should have known that he meant to say, "I don't see why it WOULDN'T have been Russia (who attacked our election)," instead of "WOULD." Well, you'd have to be an idiot to not know what his position is. Does any reasonable person think he was really joking about not wanting COVID testing because the numbers make him look bad? He was joking every one of the dozens of times he had said it before? We know what his position is. How about his being "sarcastic" about asking Russia to find Hillary's emails? Does he even know what "sarcasm" means? Later, he would make it clear that his position was that it's okay to solicit foreign election help. Think he was joking when he openly asked China to help him win? When he said it was okay for voters to vote twice if it was in his favor? When he said he would pardon DHS staff for breaking eminent domain laws? His supporters cry, "the media lies" without being able to cite anything but the rare media mistake, but excuse his 19,000 lies. They claim that we just don't understand them, so help us understand.

  10541. Obama didn't illegally "spy" on Trump. The Trump camp, however, tried (possibly succeeded) in using Russian spies to sink the Clinton campaign. IF the DOJ and/or US intelligence used informants, wiretaps, etc. to look into Trump's campaign, THAT'S A GOOD THING! It would mean there was reason to believe a crime was being committed. Carter Page, just 3 years prior, was involved in a Russian spy ring. Hell yeah, they should have been watching him! There's a process. Judges issue those warrants. But let me guess - the judges were "deep state operatives"? That's ridiculous. All of those people, no matter what their political views, from non-political agencies, all in the service of electing Hillary Clinton - a candidate even liberals weren't crazy about?? Yeah, the "deep state" is all liberal. That's why conservatives are in power half the time. They're so powerful, yet they couldn't stop an unpopular, inexperienced, controversial guy like Trump from getting elected? The all-powerful "deep state" couldn't rig the election successfully? Couldn't dig up any more on him BEFORE the election than a tape about grabbing pussy? Couldn't pull off this conspiracy without defeating their own purpose by leaking their own party's emails? Comey, the guy who ended up HELPING TRUMP WIN, was all in for Clinton?? Think, Trumpers. Common sense.

They say they don't want to talk about the wrongdoing of people who aren't indicted, but that didn't apply when Comey said that Clinton was irresponsible with her email server.

  10546. If you're the President, and David Duke tweets that you support nationalism and support his cause, there is only one thing to do. You pick up your iPhone with your tiny, little hands, and you tweet, "I fully reject the support of David Duke, as well as the Klan, The Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, and all racist hate groups. Do not vote for me. You have no place in our country." Then, you immediately stop using the term, "Nationalist", no matter what new connotation you want to attach to it, because it's a loaded term. It's totally unnecessary to use, especially in this political climate, so just fucking drop it. You don't argue semantics. You don't double down. You don't blame the press for painting you in a negative light, (especially when you coordinate with the biggest right-wing network news outlet there is. Sean Hannity practically has a fucking desk in the White House.) By the way, if he's going to say, "fake news" 20 times a day, he needs to add two pieces of information to these accusations - 1) WHO in the media said something "false"? 2) WHAT, SPECIFICALLY, is "false"?

The Trump Administration is paying private, for-profit companies $700 PER DAY PER DETAINEE, and they still couldn't provide soap and mattresses, so hell yeah, those Dems should object.

  10551. Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  10552. Free Yourselves Globally Project - Another one of those videos you people say is "fake", but isn't, huh? Like the reporter that WAS ACTUALLY in Saudi Arabia? Like the "faked" flood rescue where you people insisted two different reporters were the same guy - who inexplicably "changed clothes" IN THE MIDDLE OF FAKING IT for reasons you people could not explain? Like the "horribly deceptive" CNN court reporters outside the Arias trial who you people SAY were trying to look like they were in different cities, when the screen CLEARLY SAID "PHOENIX" and it was obvious that they were set up to cover two exits at the courthouse and never suggested otherwise? First, a "faked" video is different from lying about facts - And they do NEITHER, but I'll bite - Tell me why you think that reporter is not on that boat. He clearly was. There would be no reason to fake it. But what is your "proof"?
    1
  10553. Free Yourselves Globally Project - CNN did not lie about WMD in Iraq. Either you are too young, or too oblivious to know that. The "liberal" media? Are you kidding? If they took a side, they were firmly on the skeptical, anti-invasion side. The Bush administration lied about that. And if you're saying they "lied", you are saying CNN KNEW they had no WMD and said otherwise. And again, you people single out CNN when, then and today, it is the entire MSM reporting virtually the same facts....The first thing I looked for in that boat video was for the guy's hair and his motion. Look at the top of his head. His hair is moving. I downloaded a high resolution copy of the video, and it still isn't very sharp, not to mention, you or whoever uploaded it lost even more clarity by recording a the screen, but the top of his head has hair flapping back and forth. He is clearly leaning against the railing. Look at his stance. When the boat rocks, he is also clearly instinctually leaning into it. But forget the reporter - The footage is clearly being shot from that boat. It isn't stock footage. Are you saying the camera man got access to the ship, but they didn't have a reporter there? So they green-screened him in just for effect? How much of a ratings boost would that get them? Enough to justify the post-production work? On a time-sensitive, relatively uninteresting story aired at 9:15 am? If they had the boat footage, but no reporter, they would just show the footage as the anchor read the copy. Risk vs. reward.... And I'm assuming you're one of those people who believes the Pentagon was hit by a missile? WHY? Imagine you're planning a risky, highly sensational attack like that - You've already got terrorists (that's another thing - they got actual Islamic terrorists to do it?) set-up to hit both of the Twin Towers. Ability to compartmentalize or not - Why involve the military? You can't just go into a room, calibrate a missile to strike your own country, and leave no trace and no witnesses who will talk! You'd also have to hide/falsify the records of the DEFENSE systems for the Pentagon itself. Google it - there were many witnesses who saw the plane. THE PLANE BELONGED TO THE AIRLINE! Are you saying the airline faked 200 death records and INVENTED A PLANE THAT NEVER EXISTED?? Flight records, passengers on camera at the airport, intelligence linked to dead, known Al Qaeda terrorists, knowing nobody would see an actual plane when anyone in a huge radius would see it... WHY COMPLICATE IT THAT MUCH? Why not just hit it with another plane, as was the "plan" with New York? It's absurd. The more I think about what would be involved, the more absurd it sounds! Then building 7. WHY? Put a cherry on top? Why add that element? You do believe planes actually hit the towers, right? So, why this stealth demolition crew? To make sure they fell? WHY? You've set up this massive attack that was already to be the biggest in history - The WTC, the Pentagon, and the White House or the Capitol - but you're going to SNEAK IN A DEMOLITION CREW? So, little by little, they what, pretended to be exterminators? Acting stranger than any exterminators before,? Brought in TONS of C4? More potential leaks? WTC security? Funding. The money trail just for the demolition crew would be a major problem to cover up! You're talking about involving a MAJOR spike in explosive sales. These demolition people would have to get into the very foundations of the buildings! You couldn't just hide a few backpacks in the stairwells. Do you know how many people worked there? But sure, they did that AND decided, "Let's make it look more suspicious and do building 7". Don't just look at them as individual buildings. The towers were connected to the ground, connected to the subway, connected to the other buildings. Basically, one mass structure was hit. The WTC wasn't built to sustain that kind of pounding. Planes full of jet fuel melted the steel frames of the towers. That was investigated thoroughly. Watch Frontline "How the Towers Fell" if you doubt that. What was the GOAL of this "inside job", and what justified that kind of complexity? You have no understanding of how the military, the media, the government, or terrorism work... The gas attack in Syria? (SMH). Sure, the dictator at war with the people he gassed before couldn't have done it again, right? I'm not even going to go into the politics of the whole thing with the Russians, Trump's then-current policy on the matter, and how that is so absurd. If you're going to conclude conspiracies are afoot with these things, you should be MORE skeptical about how and why these things supposedly happen. Common sense. Think, McFly. You haven't provided one single piece of evidence of an inside job on 9/11 or a faked CNN story. All you have are pieces of events you don't understand.

  10554. Before we knew much about Venus, scientists only knew it was covered with clouds. One scientist concluded from that that there were dinosaurs on Venus. His reasoning - Clouds contain water. That much water means there are swamps below. Swamps mean reptiles. Observation: Can't see shit. Conclusion: Dinosaurs. That about sums up the reasoning in conspiracy theorists' heads.

  10555. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  10556. Why is it we usually only hear about masks and distance. I think people thoughtlessly just go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others, especially before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is like being close. Elevators and city busses must be major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. People attend events in cars, but how many end up at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Plus, it thins the crowds. Are people aware of touching their eyes after taking off their shoes, after possibly stepping on virus-infected floors where droplets have fallen? The more the virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Practice safe sex. Wear a mask.

  10561. First, there was a counterintelligence probe to look into Russia. Not necessarily Trump/Russia, but Russia's election meddling. That lead to Trump. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" But it turned out that Trump and 16 of his associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Trump's son and top people had met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump lied about pursuing a Trump Tower Moscow deal that required the approval of Putin, the very person who was attacking our election to get Trump elected. That is PROBABLE CAUSE for a probe. Trump refused to acknowledge the FBI and CIA findings about Russia. He oddly cozied up to Putin and worked to lift sanctions on them. Then, he fired the FBI Director, and said it was over the Russia probe. That's what started the Mueller probe. There was probable cause for the FISA warrant on Carter Page, and a judge agreed. Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm. Its findings were not obtained from a foreign government, there was no quid pro quo, and the findings were not shared with the Clinton campaign. Christopher Steele reported it to the FBI because he found them so alarming.

  10562.  @notheissue  Who paid for it?? Do you even know what a FISA warrant is? SMH. The FISA warrant on Carter Page was renewed 4 times, signed by a judge. Carter Page was caught up in a Russian spy ring in 2013. A Russian spy went to prison. Another fled to Moscow. Then, two years later, there's Page, working for the Trump campaign, traveling to Moscow to make speeches critical of US policy. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT GUY. This is NOT about some FISA warrant on a suspicious character. It did NOT start the probe. You should wonder about why TRUMP AND 16 OF HIS ASSOCIATES LIED ABOUT THEIR RUSSIAN CONTACTS. Russia, not France, not Mexico. Russia. The country that attacked our election to help Trump win. Common sense, please!

  10571. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

HE COORDINATES WITH FOX NEWS, so I don't want to hear your complaining about "biased media". Would you have been okay with Anderson Cooper coordinating with Barack Obama? Didn't think so. -- Learn the difference between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. -- Lying is knowing a FACT and saying otherwise. An OPINION can't be a lie. -- MSM can't "cover up" anything because. MSM are not the sole gatekeepers of information. -- Those "CNN green screen faked" Youtube videos are complete BS. -- "Enemy of the people" is a term coined by Joseph Stalin. The POTUS using it like a parrot with fake news turrets syndrome should bother you. -- Typing into a Youtube search box, looking for some journalist wannabe to confirm your bias is not "research". -- Sometimes, alternative is good. NOT the case with news. Big media outlets can afford editors, FACT CHECKERS, planes, trucks, high-priced reporters whose reputations are their assets, and INSIDE SOURCES. Mark Dice doesn't know people at the Pentagon. -- MSM isn't controlled by the DNC or the CIA. They're controlled by ADVERTISERS. They're motivated by money, not politics. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one political party. MSM will and DO report on Dems behaving badly. -- You can complain about corporate media, but corporations are CAPITALIST, not socialist. Capitalism is based on competition. Outlets compete to get the most accurate information out there first. MSM are obnoxious and sensational, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Facts are facts. -- They HAVE TO use narratives. It's how they sell their product - information. ANALYSIS helps viewers understand the raw information. -- If you only watch "liberal" media to look for bias, then YOU are engaging in confirmation bias.

  10590.  @Me-gt7oy  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

She says she talked to the Secret Service, and said an armed "quick respond team" ten minutes away. Pipe bombs were planted at both the DNC and RNC headquarters. It only makes sense to investigate whether whoever planted the bombs was part of that "security" team. Were the bombs part of the "quick response" plan? How many of those groups coordinated together, and to what degree? It's likely there is a straight line to be drawn from the riots, through Giuliani, and right to Donald Trump.

  10596. Mary Ann LeCain Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  10609.  @thedilpickleclub6627  Most of the following is in the Mueller report. It is mostly a matter of fact, and the parts that are a matter of my opinion are matters of common sense. Look up any of it. I'm not going to cite specific page numbers for someone so clearly unwilling to accept basic facts. You Trump trolls are a dime a dozen, and you make no sense. -The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 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. - 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 140 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  10610. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  10611.  @thedilpickleclub6627  There was collusion. That's not up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? What line wouldn't they cross? If we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

No. At a certain point, there is just no point in wasting too much time talking to people who refuse to listen. "Yawn"? Exactly. Thanks again for proving my point. And you call ME a mouth breather? You are a joke. By the way, Mueller wrote the Mueller report, along with his team. Learn how things work before you mindlessly parrot talking points and pretend to understand how government and the law works.

  10618. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

Roger Stone bragged about being in touch with the VERY HACKERS and DISSEMINATORS of the DNC hacks. Trump's campaign chairman gave polling data to the Russians. 16 Trump associates lied about contacts with the Russians. Carter Page had previously been caught up in a Russian spy ring, then worked for Trump by going to Moscow and making anti-US speeches. But no, that's no reason for suspicion, is it? That is COLLUSION.

  10623. THE FBI IS NOT FULL OF POLITICIANS! Think about it - Who works for the FBI? COPS. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to become political idealists. They joined to bust drug dealers, murderers, mafia thugs and money launderers. That's the nature of the business. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them when they suddenly had to deal with a perfect storm of having to make decisions about two unpopular presidential candidates who were both under investigation - both for good reason - during an election year. And if you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans, at least half. Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller and McCabe are all Conservatives. If Trump was so great, and appealed to enough Conservative Republicans to get elected, why is it such a stretch to believe members of the conservative-leaning FBI wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with Liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Sure, Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass, saying controversial things during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might settle down and "pivot" once he got elected. We thought he might not end up lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every single day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal" FBI shit is nonsense!

He lies constantly, but he convinced the biggest skeptics, conspiracy theorists, that he's honest. Politicians have always said, "I'm an outsider", but he made folks think he was the first. He thinks proper spelling is "smock" and "boarder", but he got people to enroll at Trump University. He's played more suckers than PT Barnum. He's inspired xenophobia that would make Hitler jealous. He's charmed more followers than Jim Jones, and he has the personality of a rabid raccoon. He didn't just con the stupid. He's gotten Senators, CEOs, and otherwise smart people to back his dumb ideas. Now, he must take it up a notch and lead the flat earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince them the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe what you want to believe.

  10659. To Democratic candidates: The country is sharply divided 60/40. You have that 60%. You aren't going to lose any of us. Put that 60% aside. Of the remaining 40%, half is firmly Trumpian. It's also, more or less, the 20% of the population as a whole that is misinformed, batshit crazy, conspiracy-minded, and uninterested in the truth. They hear what they want to. They're hopelessly stuck on Trump. Put them aside, too. That leaves the other 20%. That group contains the 2016 Obama to Trump voters. They voted for Trump because they felt neglected and frustrated by the government, whether that was justified or not. They are on the smarter, saner end of the Trumpland spectrum. They're not the sharpest pencils in the box. They've been misinformed by Trump and right-wing media. They don't know much about government, and frankly, who can really blame them for not wanting to keep up with the circus that is politics? Democrats - those people, that 20%, should be your target! Yes, rally your base, but that alone won't do it. When you rally your side, you also rally theirs. Give that 20% the attention they want. I'm NOT saying pander to them insincerely, and definitely don't agree with them and the ideas that their lying, narcissistic, fear-mongering president has planted in their heads. But try to inform them and explain in simple terms why they should leave the cult of Trump without rattling-off talking points like a robotic, liberal Mike Pence. Run on a message, (I suggest education), AND ALSO be anti-Trump. Democrats can get a lot more votes from the other side than Republicans can. And, by the way, the reason we have minority rule in the first place is Republican gerrymandering. Republican Representation in Congress is grossly disproportionate to the population, so folks shouldn't believe Trump's bullshit about the system being skewed to the Democrats.

  10667. 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?

  10669. Darren Watters - No, collusion is not a crime. So, why does Trump keep saying that the Mueller report says, "No collusion"? It DOESN'T. Conspiracy is a crime tht Mueller found insufficient evidence to charge. Collusion is cooperation with nefarious intent. The Russians did commit a crime, Mueller did charge many of them, and the Trump campaign cooperated (colluded) with them. Is an agency allowed to investigate a possible crime? YES. "Predicated"? Do you mean have PROBABLE CAUSE? Like I said, the Russians were found to have committed crimes, to help TRUMP win. They shouldn't include a BENEFICIARY of that crime in their probe? Trump didn't want to answer questions even as a possible WITNESS. He didn't want to know if any of his people were committing crimes for him behind his back? He says his son DID meet the Russians without telling him. The possible crimes that members of the Trump campaign were investigated for were CONSPIRACY and OBSTRUCTION. Are YOU that stupid? 16 Trump associates lied about over 140 contacts with Russian nationals. Trump, himself, lied about pursuing a Trump Tower Moscow deal. THAT'S PROBABLE CAUSE TO INVESTIGATE. If a foreign adversary knows a US President is lying to his people, they can BLACKMAIL that president. Trump says Mueller exonerated him, so what is Trump's problem? Why doesn't he want Mueller or his people to testify? How can the man who "exonerated" him be illegitimate at the same time? Are you that dense?

  10670. Control Denied - The Papadopoulos thing was not debunked. Not only that, he was convicted of lying in a court of law. It was the PROBABLE CAUSE that started the counterintelligence probe, not the FISA warrant on Carter Page. By the way, Carter Page was messing with Russian spies in 2013. Three years later, he was working for Trump and traveling to Russia, making anti-US policy speeches. The intel community shouldn't keep an eye on him? Then, what, just by coincidence, it's RUSSIANS that Trump associates were lying about and trying to get dirt from? The very country THEY KNEW was attacking our election?!
    1
  10671. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

By the way, show me one item of "speculation, opinion, or rumor" in the Mueller Report. It is based on sworn testimony, not "rumor", and Mueller explicitly refused to speculate or give his opinion. And Papadopoulos was not set up. It is confirmed by several Trump associates, including Jeff Sessions, who sat in a meeting with Trump, that Papadopoulos wanted to meet with the Russians to try to get Hillary's emails. There is a photograph of that meeting! And you say I don't know the facts? Trump, himself doesn't dispute these facts!

  10675. Jerry Vida - He SAID Mueller could testify, then added that it was up to Bill Barr. He doesn't want him to, and that is clear by his actions and every other thing he has said. He BLOCKED everyone else from testifying, citing privilege that doesn't apply, and even immunities that literally do not exist. Trump also stood there next to Putin and said he didn't see why it would have been Russia that attacked our election. Then, he gave us some BS about how he meant "wouldn't", as if his position wasn't crystal clear.
    1
  10676. Jerry Vida - I know Mueller's mandate was to refer, and that he wasn't there to exonerate. Tell that to Trump, who said Mueller exonerated him! Mueller never said there was no collusion, which isn't a crime. He declined to recommend charges for the crime of CONSPIRACY, for lack of evidence of intent. He didn't say they did nothing wrong. Volume 1 is hundreds of pages of wrongdoing. Mueller basically said that they may not have known what they did was illegal. Mueller EXPLICITLY SAID that he could NOT exonerate Trump for the 10 instances of possible OBSTRUCTION detailed in Volume 2. He EXPLICITLY said that it was up to another body, aka Congress, to take that up. How do you US NOT know this? Oh yeah, you probably only watch FOX News, and call every other outlet fake, while being unable to name even one falsely reported fact.

  10677. Control Denied - Spygate apparently didn't make enough sense for you to explain a simple assertion. If you want to know what's going on, read the Mueller Report and watch some news other than FOX News. You are clearly extremely ignorant.

  10678. ...When Mike Pence was asked if anyone in the campaign had any contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, why would they? Are high level meetings with surrogates of powerful, adversarial, foreign governments a normal part of a Presidential campaign? No. It's unheard of. Trump, like all candidates, was warned about foreign meddlers and asked to call the FBI if they saw anything suspicious. Instead, Don Jr said, "If it's what you say, I love it". That is PROBABLE CAUSE.
    1
  10679. Jerry Vida - (SMH). First, there have been absolutely no trials for anyone about collusion and Obstruction. None. Collusion isn't even a crime, so nobody could ever be tried for it. Second, the only thing I said about you that was judgemental was that I thought you PROBABLY thought all news except FOX News was fake. Except that you say you don't believe FOX News, I WAS CORRECT. Now, count the judgments and assumptions you have made about me. Hypocrite much? No, MSM does not get paid to lie. Name EVEN ONE TIME someone paid a news outlet to lie. You cannot nas me even one, unless it was on FOX. Now, if you don't get your information about politics and government from the mainstream media, then where do you get your information? You are extremely ignorant of the facts, so I suggest you learn some critical thinking skills so that you can even RECOGNIZE a fact when you hear one.
    1
  10680. Jerry Vida - ...By the way, Trump absolutely tried to fire Mueller. He told Don McGahn to do it, and McGahn threatened to quit rather than do it. Then, he tried to get Corey Lewendowski - who didn't even work for him - to do it. Trump also had another lawyer who quit on Air Force One when Trump was drafting Don Jr's statement about the Trump Tower meeting. The lawyer, Mark Corallo, quit because he thought it might be taking part in some Obstruction, and that is a FACT.

  10681. If Democrats are so worried about what may make their nominee lose to Trump: 1- Don't support de-criminalizing illegal border crossings. Do Dems just WANT to spread the falsehood that Dems want open borders? The problem isn't that we catch them. It's that Trump crams them into squalid cages without basic necessities for the staggering cost of $700/day per head for the profit of greedy, private companies, and breaks up families. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. Even if we RELEASE them, we still have to CATCH them. 2- Don't give Biden hell about race relations. He's clearly not racist. Trump clearly is. It just gives Republicans ammo to say Dems are the "real" racists because they talk about race. 3- Don't worry about Biden looking "low energy" or "losing it" in his old age in a debate. Trump is a lazy, rambling, old coot. Don't confuse his immaturity and brashness for energy. 4- Bernie should drop out. He has good ideas, but he labeled himself a socialist. It doesn't matter if you put the word "Democratic" in front of it. All swing voters will hear is "socialist", and Republicans will scare them into thinking he wants to turn America into Venezuela. Bernie should remain a Senator. 5- Lay off Kamala for locking up potheads. She didn't arrest them herself. Was she supposed to refuse to prosecute them all? She would have been accused of not upholding the law. I'm against locking up minor drug offenders, but we need to change the law. If she's the nominee, I want her to commit to legalization. She can't do that if her party attacks her as a hypocrite. 6- Support marijuana legalization. Do it before Trump does. It's going to happen eventually, so claim the credit. It's related to health care and criminal justice reform, and something Kushner and Kardashian left out of their prison reform plan. Sell it as a great source of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. 7- Republicans might pull a bait and switch, and Trump won't be the nominee. It's early. Trump might be exposed as an undeniable crook, or they might finally get sick of him and not want to deal with him for another four years. If his approval numbers take a dive, they could primary him. Then, Dems won't be battling the devil they know, the one they're preparing to go up against.

In 3 years, I couldn't get a simple majority approval rating, so I call upon the powers of the Kremlin, the internet trolls, and the powers of Satan, himself, to bump me over the line!" As one of Trump's Twitter followers, Satan replies, "Dude, you sold your soul to me a long time ago over some shit in New York. I owe you jack shit. You still owe me your soul. See you in hell. Love, Satan".

  10696. Pelosi and like-minded Dems are too focused on the next election. They want to run against an embattled, wounded Trump. They want to fight the devil they know. Pelosi saying she opposes impeachment now is bad strategy and bad timing. It's too close to the end of the Mueller probe, too close to the beginning of the House probes, and too far from the next election. Pelosi should have just said, "Let's wait for the facts". She's sick of cries of "Impeach him!" drowning out her agenda message. Tough shit. If they can't work their agenda and conduct oversight at the same time, they shouldn't be in office. It's premature to assume they won't get 20 Senators to go along with removing Trump. If Mueller or SDNY uncover slam-dunk evidence, the Republicans will have to support Trump's removal. Most likely, though, there won't be slam-dunk proof, but really strong proof. Then, the Republicans won't want him impeached. They'll want to oust him in a primary - for the same reason they defend him now - they want to hold on to power. Then, the Dems won't get to run against the wounded devil they know. Trump planted William Barr to water-down the Mueller report, which he will do with anything short of a smoking gun. Then, the choice for Republicans will be to primary or not. Then, the Dems will be running against a newly strengthened Trump or a new Republican who, compared to Trump, will look really good to swing voters. Either way, it puts Dems in a weakened position. It ISN'T time to impeach yet. But instead of raising the bar on impeachment, Dems should be lowering it. They should be saying, "He's inches away. We're seeing lots of evidence". That's because there IS lots of evidence, albeit circumstantial. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Roger Stone bragged about communicating with the very hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. 16 of Trump's people lied about over 100 Russian contacts. Trump's charity is being probed for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". He has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation that involved bank fraud. There's the inaugural committee, security clearance concerns, a pattern of obstruction, and MUCH more. Plus, he's an HABITUAL liar. If Dems had balls, they'd point those things out every chance they get. Then, the media would report those statements rather than reporting Pelosi's signal that Dems don't have the stomach for impeachment, and are more interested in elections than justice. "He's not worth it"?? He's too horrible to remove, and so bad that he's above the law?? She doesn't want to divide the already divided country? Congrats, Nancy. You divided your own party. There's something worse than a messy impeachment - leaving a crooked, lying, incompetent President in office until an election that's still almost two years away. And since Trump refuses to deal with the Russians, he will let them help him win that election again.

They just throw out a bunch of demonized names and buzzwords, and conflate all of the stories into one, big slam on "the left" and "the deep state". When it's over, they haven't told you a thing. You don't know this, because you refuse to watch the rest of the news because FOX has convinced you that it's all left wing propaganda. Sure. ALL OTHERS, while they have no other competition on their level. The right has defined what is "the left". It's not left/right, it's mainstream/alternative. FOX News is ALTERNATIVE, but you are too BRAINWASHED to see it. Take an honest look at which side repeats the most talking points. Thecright, hands down, by a HUGE margin.

  10701. @Bill Wilson The Constitution allows protests, not the mayors. Protests are dangerous, too, but at least most of them are wearing masks as Trump followers at rallies mostly don't. Biden would not have reacted slower, and he definitely wouldn't have defied and discouraged safety measures. COVID 19 is not a flu. It is a SARS virus forvwhich there is currently no vaccine, and is 10 times as contagious. The numbers are clear. We can look around the world now and see why it's so bad in the US. Poor federal response, and hyper-consumerism that has advertisers telling everyone to get out there and spend while the health experts and reasonable politicians are saying otherwise. We could have been pretty much done with this by now.

  10711. No, technically they are NOT correct. By DEFINITION, they are not terrorists. Too many people throw that word around, then the distinctions between different fighting factions become meaningless. Then, we need another word to describe non-state entities who target civilians with the goal of instilling fear to change policy. There are non-state sponsored terrorists, state sponsored terrorists, and militaries. There are differences.

  10712. Toni Laine - Different conflicts, different reasons. Many were justified, and many were not. That has absolutely nothing to do with inaccurately labeling the US military a terrorist organization. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is not a terrorist group, either, but they use the WEAPON of terrorism often, while the US almost never does. America has the luxury of a huge military, so they don't need to resort to terrorist tactics. Ariel Sharon once pointed to the Palestinian territories and said, "If I lived there, I would be a terrorist".

  10713. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

  10722. Trump conned America into thinking he was great at business by playing a great businessman on TV, but then Putin out-conned Don the Con. Because he's NOT a great businessman, Trump started losing his fortune. US banks wouldn't finance him anymore because he was such a bad businessman that he lost money in the casino business, where THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS. So, Putin stepped-in and became his financier. Trump always blames others for his own mistakes, so he blamed his own country for not believing in him like Putin did. Trump was the perfect tool - A famous, stupid, greedy egomaniac with a grudge against America. He craved attention, and had always wanted to be President. Putin was there to make his dreams come true. All he asked in return was for a little help with the pesky little US sanction problem that was hindering his efforts to re-build the Soviet Union he'd lost. MICE - Money. Ideology. Compromise. Ego. 3 out of 4 ain't bad, right? Even better if the target has no Ideology. Putin wouldn't want his puppet having patriotic Ideals that could get in the way.

That just means they feel threatened and have nothing else to criticize him on.

  10731. kcabyats * - Pedophiles don't molest kids on camera. He's touchy-feely. So was W Bush. That's a far cry from pedophilia. Don't you think there would have been serious accusations against him by now if he had done anything sexually inappropriate? Politicians kiss babies. It's a cliche. Compare that to Roy Moore being accused of getting a teenaged girl away from her mom to do that - not right in front of her. Biden acts that way with older women, kids, and he's even touchy with men. To call him a pedo is ridiculous.

It is perfectly natural to touch a kid's shoulders when posing for pictures. You folks act like those still shots show Biden kissing kids, when he is simply talking to them. Why don't you morons focus on how he acts as a POLITICIAN. How's all that attacking anyone with a D by their name with anything you can conjure up going? It's mostly the same people who are completely blind to how bad the Rs are screwing you, not the least is Trump. You are all in for a huge disappointment. The Republican voters are waking up to it, and when they turn against Trump, they will turn on him hard and viciously, as he promised to "drain the swamp", and then stocked it with alligators. I suggest you grow up.

Yes, he pets their hair like you'd pet a dog. Not to compare pets to children, but spend time with either and/or both, and there are similarities. You try to guide them and give them little signs of affection. There is no more sexuality in that than petting a dog means you want to fuck it.

The problem I see Mueller having is that it's obvious that Trump is committing systematic obstruction, but to only charge Trump with obstruction would trigger his base to cry, "witch hunt". They'll say, "They couldn't get him on anything real, so they made up an obstruction charge", and the Republicans in the Senate won't do anything about it. But I really think that they'll get Trump and his cronies on a lot more than obstruction. My prediction is that they'll indict his son and son-in-law, and Trump will have to resign to save them from prison.

  10753.  @themedialies6613  We need fact checks, whether the subject is conservative, liberal, mineral or vegetable. The media didn't do enough of them on Trump. If they had, people would know that voting machines don't accept multiple ballots per voter, why Pence had to certify the election, and that Mueller never said "no collusion." Now, some in "liberal" media are going too far to prove they're unbiased. They've always reported negative things about Dems. They sensationalize for money, not for the DNC (which is absurd considering how much more wealth and power the media have than the DNC, which is a small group of people who joined because they couldn't personally get elected to office). No matter how stupid Chris Cuomo's choice of words was when he said, "calling a reporter fake is like calling a Black person the N-word," the intended takeaway was that they're trained to be fair. They should be fair, but they don't have to be balanced if the news isn't balanced. A CNN fact-checker was so defensive about being called "biased" that he criticized Biden for saying "there are now more retirees in China than workers." Anyone with a brain knows he didn't think, or want anyone to think that retirees outnumber workers. He obviously meant "more than there used to be." Biden also got some stats wrong, and it was right for CNN's fact checker to correct the record. Still, those were mistakes that Biden made with his own fact checking, not deliberate lies, as many conservatives surely insisted. CNN's guy didn't say he lied, but adding the Chinese retiree stat to it sure looked like he was trying hard to say, "See, I'm not biased!" It doesn't matter to truly biased "journalists" like Sean Hannity, who will ALWAYS say CNN is biased no matter what. A few days later, the fact-checker was on Reliable Sources, a CNN show that exists to criticize the media, (Yes, conservatives, CNN criticizes itself), and he kept going on about how unbiased he would be now that Biden is in office. He should absolutely do that, but there's no way to balance Trump's 22,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years with the few hundred that Biden will probably make in the coming years. (To put it in perspective, Obama made 143 false and/or misleading statements in 8 years. In the 2016 campaign, Trump made 3 times as many as Clinton, and Clinton's were determined to be much smaller lies, and she didn't repeat them nearly as much). I hear very few liberals defending Andrew Cuomo's cover-up. Despite conservatives saying, "I can't believe CNN is reporting this," they did cover it - because it's sensational, not partisan. No, I don't love CNN. It's the McDonalds of news. It might be cheap and processed, but it's real food. Even pink slime comes from a real cow. FOX News couldn't pass the health inspection. You may not like the opinions or analysis on CNN, but the facts are usually correct. If you want gourmet, read the New York Times, watch PBS Newshour or Rachel Maddow.

  10768. Ayana Anwar - "Leftist" is a largely derrogatory term that used to refer to the extreme, militant left side of the spectrum. It's what they called communist guerillas in South America.

Not to mention, it is IMPOSSIBLE for CNN to cover anything up because they are not the sole gatekeepers of information. YOU are the one who is brainwashed, and you are clearly clueless about how things work on a fundamental level.

The IG didn't validate a whistleblower claim that was corroborated by 8 people in sworn testimony? That's not something that needed to be addressed, especially with his record of soliciting foreign election help?

These kids need to learn that they have raging hormones and confused minds at that age, and that everything isn't nearly as important or serious as they think it is at their age. And males in general need to learn how to deal with their emotions when it comes to females. It's not just mass shootings and not just at school. Every other day, it seems like, on the news, you hear about some guy who snapped over a girl.

Learn to stop neglecting issues to focus on media and social media.

  10786. Steve B - Exactly! This whole idea that Trump helped the economy is nonsense. Trumpers simply don't care about the actual causes and have no concept of lag time. They repeat "lowest unemployment ever" (thanks in large part to Obama), and ignore the fact that he left with record unemployment. But to them, the pandemic wasn't his fault, even though he was on the side of the disease. They'll sure blame Biden, though. We're to believe that Trump solved all of the country's problems and Joe Biden made it all go to hell in his first month. They make no sense.

  10787. KITTEH XP - The point went right over your head, huh? He's USING A TRAGEDY TO PUSH LEGISLATION. And by the way, don't be sure it won't be just about illegal immigration. Trump is targeting legal immigration just as much.

  10788. Trump wants to investigate this? Easy investigation. Step 1 - ask Google if they use political bias in your search results. Step 2 - Call one tech person to verify that, no, it isn't biased. The end.

  10789. The PAPERSLAYER - A Republican literally went on TV to brag that HE was responsible for people even knowing about CRT. THEY INVENTED THE ISSUE in order to demonize it. It's a 40 year old book rarely taught anywhere and only at the college level. Not to mention, what's the problem with CRT anyway? They never say THAT. They just vaguely allude to some notion that it gets Black people angry. Do YOU even know anything about CRT? I'm sure you do not.

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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

  10800. Elvis Presley hates Samuel Untermeyer - What's your point? 51% want him removed. It was their DUTY to impeach him. If they hadn't, the next time he commited an impeachable offense, the Republicans would say, "You Dems should have impeached him".

  10805. For these protests to work, you need to get through to white people. Not white hyper-racists. You can't change them. I mean those who DON'T KNOW THEY'RE RACIST. They don't listen when you say "Black Lives Matter." They don't hear, "black lives matter, TOO." They hear, "black," and think you're calling them racist. They think, "I'M not racist! YOU'RE racist! What about white lives?" Attacking what a white Southerner PERCEIVES as Southern heritage will only send him into the arms of Trump and Hannity. You have to get past their defenses. They have to identify with you. Yes, police brutalize blacks much more than whites, but a better way to approach it is to make them understand that whites are brutalized, too. Focus on the brutality, regardless of race. I DON'T mean ignore racial anti-bias training, but it doesn't help to overemphasize it. We should demand an immediate end to police brutality, but demanding an immediate end to all racism is futile and SELF-DEFEATING. BLM is bad at messaging. Drop the B in BLM. Those who know what it means don't need to be told, and those who don't won't listen. It's been shown that talking about "climate change" makes the deniers tune out. It's become a symbolic term in a culture war. But when you call it "pollution," more people listen. Same concept here.

  10809. Has the frog already boiled to death? I know it's starting to seem normal, but Trump is OPENLY conspiring with members of the Ukrainian government to get re-elected! When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

  10818. Common sense. Whether you think enlisting foreign help to win an election was legal, ethical, or not, it got Trump in trouble. But what did he do? He insisted he did nothing wrong. He called it "oppo research", (but when the DNC hired an actual, American oppo research firm that the Republicans hired first, he called it treason). Then, he did it AGAIN with Ukraine! After all the trouble his screwing around with foreigners caused, that dumbass did it AGAIN!

  10822. Fucking Democrat lawmakers should NOT give Trump one thin dime for a fucking wall! I don't care if they give him TWICE as much for sensible border control, but NOT FOR A WALL. Let the government shut down. Yes, we should save DACA. Yes, some compromise is good. But that wall shit will come back and bite them in the ass. Do Dems want to get blamed for giving in? Do they want Republicans asking for more next year to finish it? Do they want to be blamed when fucko uses eminent domain to take peoples' houses? Screwing-up the environment? Letting Trump off the hook for saying Mexico would pay for it? Do they want to give Trump bragging rights? Shit, he probably won't be in office in 2020, or even six months from now. "Chuck and Nancy" need to grow some fucking balls!

  10828. His supporters don't want to know because they know he was doing something nefarious. That's why they all came out immediately floating ridiculous conspiracy theories and attacks on the FBI before they or anyone knew the basic facts. As long as they see anyone with an R by their name being better than any evil Dem who wants to take away your freedom and sacrifice your kids to Satan, they will give their own a pass. If Trump shot a baby on camera on 5th Avenue, his base would say the baby had it coming and blame the Dem leadership in New York for his own gun crime.

He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

  10850. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

  10851. What is WRONG with these Republicans?

  10852. Is it because Trump used the slogan, "drain the swamp", you cult followers think he, himself, can't possibly be crooked? Is that it? His cabinet is as crooked as a barrel of snakes. Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt, Tom Price, Rob Porter, and Mike Flynn were ousted in scandal. Ben Carson is under suspicion. Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates pleaded guilty to felonies. Just wait and see how it goes with Don Jr, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Jarred Kushner, and Ivanka Trump. Hell, even Eric "Short Bus" Trump is being looked at for charity fraud. "All the best people", right?

  10854. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

  10868. Why are people upset about the US "selling our uranium to Russia"? Is it the word, "uranium"? To the willfully ignorant, uranium = nuclear bombs. They think Hillary somehow ceded our nuclear capability to Russia. Isn't their argument that Dems don't trust Russia, and want WWIII? We DON'T trust Putin, but NOBODY wants WWIII. Russia has LEGALLY had the bomb for decades. There's no shortage of uranium for either of us. Both the US and Russia have +/- 5000 nuclear warheads. It only takes a small amount of uranium to make a HYDROGEN bomb, which is today's technology. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. The uranium they're talking about is not "bomb-ready" right out of the ground. Uranium One is a MINING company. The deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company. No uranium was moved ANYWHERE. The advisory board consists of 9 US and 5 Canadian agencies, and was lead by a REPUBLICAN. Bribing ONLY the State Dept, to do something ALL 13 OTHER AGENCIES were going to do anyway, MAKES NO SENSE. If the accusation was true, Hillary would have been the only one trying to STOP the deal. The allegation is that she took a bribe to make the sale happen. This has NEVER made any sense. Can any of you Uranium One idiots even explain your "case"? The alleged "briber" didn't have any stake in the company at the time. Where's the motive? He would have had to bribe 13 other agencies. They ALL approved the deal. Only the President could veto it. Going after Hillary, and not Obama, shows the ignorance. They're barking up the wrong branch on the wrong tree. Here's why a deal from before 2012 became a thing - OBAMA WASN'T RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016. HILLARY WAS. It's political. I'd say these are just a bunch of Russian trolls pushing this bs on social media, but Republican Senators are parroting this crap, and Trump has held a 39% approval rating for two years, no matter what. Even Trump's own, incoming AG dismissed it as bs. Do facts not matter anymore?

  10877. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  10878. When media bashers say "The media lie," they can almost never name a specific lie. When outlets report a fact, 99% of the time, it is accurate. It would be a little closer to the truth to say the media DECEIVE. That's far from deliberately mis-stating facts. Usually when I ask a media basher to name some lies the media have told, I get, "Trump colluded with Russia, Nick Sandmann, and Jussie Smollett." Those replies are nonsense. First, Trump DID collude with Russia. Collusion means COOPERATION, which he clearly did. It's not a legal term. Collusion does not mean "found guilty of criminal conspiracy." But set that point aside. The facts made Trump look guilty. When it was reported that three of Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for favors, that was a FACT. No reporter said, "Don Jr took a flash drive from a Russian agent." That would be a lie. The facts looked bad, so naturally the opinions in editorials were negative. Let's say media report that a man's wife is missing and her husband had blood in his car, gunshot residue on his hands, and lied to police. Editorials about domestic violence would cast the husband in a negative light, and nobody would say the media were lying. Jussie Smollett lied to police, and media simply reported the facts. The suggestion that somehow the media know the truth about things nobody else knows is absurd. Believing that they deceive us every time a story makes a liberal look bad is ridiculous, especially when the liberal isn't even a politician, and the story has nothing to do with politics. Nick Sandmann is the exception that proves the rule. The media didn't lie. They mis-characterized. It was a mistake, and they paid for it. If deception was standard practice, news outlets would have been sued out of existence long ago. Also, there is no objective truth in that story. It's based on what was going on in Sandmann's head, and what his intentions were. There are many news outlets, many stories, and many reports every day. Media bashers love to say "the media" as if it's one homogeneous, connected group. So, even when a reporter makes a mistake or even lies, to paint the entire industry as liars is as absurd as saying "Starbucks cheats you" because a barista once over-charged you for a scone. The same type of conservative who says, "It's just a bad apple" when a trigger-happy cop shoots an unarmed person will call the entire media a group of serial liars when a single reporter makes a mistake. There is a LOT I don't like about news media, and I don't believe everything I hear. But I assume simple facts are accurate unless there's real reason to believe otherwise. On rare occasions when the facts they report are inaccurate, I first assume they made a mistake before I start conjuring up wild conspiracy theories. People should simply recognize the difference between FACT and OPINION. "16 Trump associates lied about their contacts with Russia" is a FACT. "All of their lying makes them look like they're hiding something" is an OPINION, but it's also a reasonable opinion to have. News outlets compete with each other, often by way of sensationalism. They aim to get the facts right because if ABC gets it wrong, CBS will get it right. Sponsors are their masters, not the DNC. (That idea is laughable. Media have WAY more money and power than the DNC, which is made up of mid-level politicians who can't get elected to office). For the same reason, media don't block stories about dirty politicians just because they're Democrats. They're not the sole gatekeepers of information. Notice that the "liberal" media promptly reported on the Hunter Biden investigation. It's a sensational story. They work for sponsors. It makes no sense to limit themselves to half of the market. It's ironic that the biggest media bashers nowadays are fervent Trump supporters who complain about bias. Trump coordinates with FOX News, and he habitually lies. Those people are hypocrites at best, but usually it's flat-out projection. Hypocrisy is accusing others of what you also do. Projection is accusing the innocent of what you do. It's notable that during Trump's first month in office, he actually told the press corp, "If you're going to hold us to getting every little thing right, I'm just going to stop having these press briefings." Yes, he actually said that. Here's a good example of how people get confused. NBC just reported that Harrison Ford said that he was a struggling actor for 15 years before he made it. Pure BS. His first movie, at about age 20, was American Graffiti. It was extremely successful. A few years later, he was in Star Wars. Nobody is a struggling actor at age 5. Did the media lie? No. HE said it, not NBC. It's not a provable fact anyway. You could take it as the media being complicit in the deception, but you could just as easily say that the media quoted him BECAUSE they know it's a stretch to say he struggled for 15 years. It's subjective.

  10893. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

  10897.  @SteveBellinghamatHappyScience  Biden used money as leverage with the Ukrainians per US policy, with BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, in the interest and for the benefit of the United States, NOT for personal gain, and certainly not to use a foreign government for help in an election. Biden, as well as the EU,the IMF, and REPUBLICANS in Congress, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA Do you really think Trump is working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? ONLY Biden? With no evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would he remove the ambassador who made a career of doing just that? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? And that ridiculous Crowdstrike/server thing - Why would he trust Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win? That server bs actually came from Russian intelligence. If Russia didn't hack the DNC, then we have to lift the sanctions imposed on them over it. The "Russia probe was a hoax" thing is just absurd, and the DOJ IG has already concluded that it was not a hoax.

The economy won't stay the same, whether it has anything to do with him or not. Our foreign enemies will pull some crap, knowing the window is closing for them to take advantage of his gullability. Enough will be enough for more and more people as he continues to be crude, offensive, and racist. His base may agree with him, but they'll still be wishing he'll just keep his mouth shut and stop giving liberals ammo. Exhaustion sets in. I don't care if you love The Apprentice, could you watch it every day for 4 years? 17 probes will be making news every other day. His base might just want to see those tax returns after all.

  10914.  @joev178  - FACTS about Trump's collusion - which simply means cooperation, by the way, and he cooperated and invited Russian cooperation. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  10916.  @joev178  - YOU don't look at the facts. There's no crime called "collusion". Mueller never said there was no collusion because it simply means COOPERATION. Trump and his people clearly cooperated with the Russians. CONSPIRACY is a crime statute. Mueller declined to charge conspiracy because 1)- It was hard to prove because it goes to intent. Did Trump KNOW he was conspiring? 2)- DOJ protocols said you can't charge a sitting president. Mueller DID say, and laid out the case that Trump committed OBSTRUCTION at least ten times. There was collusion. Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign manager met with surrogates of the Russian government in to trade illegally obtained "dirt" on Clinton for sanction relief. Those involved admit that. Imagine that was Hillary, her daughter, son-in-law, and campaign manager. Tell me that wouldn't be reason for an investigation.

It's even more evident that he's an idiot because he won't have anyone proofread his tweets. Even the Kardashians do that. You really don't see that he has no desire to learn? LOL, you're comparing him to Einstein!?

Jeez, Rwpublicans are in power right now, and will always control about half of the government. There is very little support for repeal even on the left. But if you're worried about one party getting a 51% majority and not caring what tge 49% want, THEN LOOK AT DONALD TRUMP!!!

  10942.  @brendalee2258  Are you serious? If that upset you, you must hate Trump then, huh? He said he will protect pre-existing conditions protections. THAT IDS A LIE. He is actively working to end them...Or how about "simultaneous" replacement of Obamacare where "EVERYONE will be covered witj BETTER coverage, and for LESS"? How about his 20,000 lies? That's not an exaggeration. 20,000!

  10943. 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.

  10946. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Recently accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  10949. Pelosi and like-minded Dems are too focused on the next election. They want to run against an embattled, wounded Trump. They want to fight the devil they know. Pelosi saying she opposes impeachment now is bad strategy and bad timing. It's too close to the end of the Mueller probe, too close to the beginning of the House probes, and too far from the next election. Pelosi should have just said, "Let's wait for the facts". She's sick of cries of "Impeach him!" drowning out her agenda message. Tough shit. If they can't work their agenda and conduct oversight at the same time, they shouldn't be in office. It's premature to assume they won't get 20 Senators to go along with removing Trump. If Mueller or SDNY uncover slam-dunk evidence, the Republicans will have to support Trump's removal. Most likely, though, there won't be slam-dunk proof, but really strong proof. Then, the Republicans won't want him impeached. They'll want to oust him in a primary - for the same reason they defend him now - they want to hold on to power. Then, the Dems won't get to run against the wounded devil they know. Trump planted William Barr to water-down the Mueller report, which he will do with anything short of a smoking gun. Then, the choice for Republicans will be to primary or not. Then, the Dems will be running against a newly strengthened Trump or a new Republican who, compared to Trump, will look really good to swing voters. Either way, it puts Dems in a weakened position. It ISN'T time to impeach yet. But instead of raising the bar on impeachment, Dems should be lowering it. They should be saying, "He's inches away. We're seeing lots of evidence". That's because there IS lots of evidence, albeit circumstantial. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Roger Stone bragged about communicating with the very hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. 16 of Trump's people lied about over 100 Russian contacts. Trump's charity is being probed for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". He has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation that involved bank fraud. There's the inaugural committee, security clearance concerns, a pattern of obstruction, and MUCH more. Plus, he's an HABITUAL liar. If Dems had balls, they'd point those things out every chance they get. Then, the media would report those statements rather than reporting Pelosi's signal that Dems don't have the stomach for impeachment, and are more interested in elections than justice. "He's not worth it"?? He's too horrible to remove, and so bad that he's above the law?? She doesn't want to divide the already divided country? Congrats, Nancy. You divided your own party. There's something worse than a messy impeachment - leaving a crooked, lying, incompetent President in office until an election that's still almost two years away. And since Trump refuses to deal with the Russians, he will let them help him win that election again.

  10972. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  10978. There are only two possible reasons the Obama Administration would have spied on the Trump campaign. 1)- To prevent his election, or 2)- To smear him in case he got elected. You can eliminate the first one. No information gathered by US intelligence was used during the campaign. The ONLY possibility would have been to smear Trump in case he won. That WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SENSE. Why would Clinton, with a 94% chance of winning, bother to prepare for that 6% chance? For a 6% chance, would Obama, FBI, and CIA officials in non-political agencies - most of whom were Republicans - risk their careers and their freedom? Would they engage in a MASSIVE conspiracy involving dozens of people across multiple agencies, right under the noses of Republicans among them, just to make Trump look bad? If the FBI was so desperate to ensure a Clinton victory, why did Comey re-open her email case and HURT her chances? Why DIDN'T he announce that there was a probe into Trump's possible ties to Russia? IT MAKES NO SENSE. The FBI was trying to safeguard the election from Russian attack. In the process, they uncovered many Trump campaign ties to the Russian government, WHICH THEY LIED ABOUT.

It's the kind of utter NONSENSE that flies from his mouth every day. How on earth do his supporters take him seriously??

  10988. If Democrats are so worried about what may make their nominee lose to Trump: 1- Don't support de-criminalizing illegal border crossings. Do Dems just WANT to spread the falsehood that Dems want open borders? The problem isn't that we catch them. It's that Trump crams them into squalid cages without basic necessities for the staggering cost of $700/day per head for the profit of greedy, private companies, and breaks up families. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. Even if we RELEASE them, we still have to CATCH them. 2- Don't give Biden hell about race relations. He's clearly not racist. Trump clearly is. It just gives Republicans ammo to say Dems are the "real" racists because they talk about race. 3- Don't worry about Biden looking "low energy" or "losing it" in his old age in a debate. Trump is a lazy, rambling, old coot. Don't confuse his immaturity and brashness for energy. 4- Bernie should drop out. He has good ideas, but he labeled himself a socialist. It doesn't matter if you put the word "Democratic" in front of it. All swing voters will hear is "socialist", and Republicans will scare them into thinking he wants to turn America into Venezuela. Bernie should remain a Senator. 5- Lay off Kamala for locking up potheads. She didn't arrest them herself. Was she supposed to refuse to prosecute them all? She would have been accused of not upholding the law. I'm against locking up minor drug offenders, but we need to change the law. If she's the nominee, I want her to commit to legalization. She can't do that if her party attacks her as a hypocrite. 6- Support marijuana legalization. Do it before Trump does. It's going to happen eventually, so claim the credit. It's related to health care and criminal justice reform, and something Kushner and Kardashian left out of their prison reform plan. Sell it as a great source of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. 7- Republicans might pull a bait and switch, and Trump won't be the nominee. It's early. Trump might be exposed as an undeniable crook, or they might finally get sick of him and not want to deal with him for another four years. If his approval numbers take a dive, they could primary him. Then, Dems won't be battling the devil they know, the one they're preparing to go up against.

  10989. All Trump did was interrupt every time Pelosi and Schumer spoke to repeat, "We need border security". Yes, douchebag, border security was the topic. The whole shit show was Trump giving an ultimatum - Only a wall will provide security, and without it, he's shutting down the government and blaming Dems for having the audacity to not cave in to a ridiculous demand. He lied about the wall being started. It's maintenance for pre-existing barriers. And what happened to Mexico paying? Oh, yeah, that was just a campaign promise. Why would anyone take it seriously? My God, Trump is so incompetent on the most basic levels! This guy wrote "The Art of the Deal"??

Comey practically got Trump elected, and look how he was thanked.

  10997. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example?) - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn as National Security Advisor. Flynn was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  10998. Trump called the Russian bounty reports a "hoax". Well, that's the same as 1)- Telling Russia they can get away with anything they want to do to us, and 2)- that he will not condemn Russia, not even to say, "even if you didn't, you better not," and he will take no action at all to deal with this. Did he need proof when he was accusing Biden of crimes? Obama? Iran? North Korea (sometimes)? Joe Scarborough? Clinton? Ted Cruz' father? BLM? The "deep state"..?

Yeah, anyone who opposes racist police brutality couldn't have formed that opinion without being brainwashed by the McDonald's of news. You're not too bright - and it's spelled, "YOU'RE."

  11010. popster 88 - No, not directly. Taxes fund social programs. Runaway capitalism is just as bad as runaway socialism. IT'S WHY WE HAVE GOVERNMENTS, which are inherently socialist by nature. Some things are best regulated by government. Some things the government should stay out of. It's a BALANCE, and it's that simple. All this talk of a socialist takeover is ridiculous.

  11011. popster 88 - No, protesters are 99.9% non-violent, and that's not an exaggeration.

  11012. Tom Trick - He is no longer a Trumpster. He would take votes from Trump.

  11013. popster 88 - That's exactly what I said. No, I don't oppose racism and police brutality because it's popular now. People are protesting because THE COPS HAVE BEEN KILLING UNARMED BLACKS - AND WHITES. Duh. Do you live in a cave? And again, it's spelled YOU'RE.

  11014. Josh McEachern - Biden is not soft on China, and Trump isn't tough on them. He just taljs tough. He has caved on Hong Kong and Taiwan. He approved of their Muslim concentration camps. He wants favors from them. He asked them for election help. China has him right where they want him.

  11015. Angel S - What on Earth are you talking about? Yes, they help fund Democrats SO THAT they will get elected and help them. Duh. BLM is surely not going to donate to Republicans who ignore them except to suppress their votes and defend a racist president.

  11016.  The No-show  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax? When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the 2016 campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, WHY WOULD THEY? That was an acknowledgment that there is NO REASON for candidates to be messing around with foreigners in an election. Mueller found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which is simply cooperation. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump is a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring.

  11017.  The No-show  Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  11018.  The No-show  Before you go into all of these "deep state" conpiracy theories and hyper-partisn nonsense, you should think about what the JOB of the intelligence community is.
    1
  11019.  The No-show  Then by that token, Trump should be held accountable for having the countryvwith the highest death rate, right? New York and California got it first and hard because of population, and the fact that they are major points of entry from overseas. The second wave, (hard to tell from the first), is coming up from the South because people won't take the precautions the rest of the world did. The Republican president and Republican governors are greatly exacerbating the problem.

  11020.  @moonooze6171  Trump is a bigot. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses?

  11021. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  11025. Isn't it amazing? If you're over 35 and a US citizen you can commit crimes for the Republican party, run for president, and they will not only shield you from prosecution. They'll help you become leader of the free world! But there's also another precedent they've set. The Vice President can simply declare that they and the President automatically get a second term!

  11026. Hope Hicks was on the plane where Trump drafted his son's excuse letter for the Trump Tower meeting. A Trump staffer quit his job then, saying he didn't want to be part of Obstruction of Justice. He said there were documents proving that they were lying in the letter. Hope Hicks said, "Yeah, but nobody is going to see those documents".

If you're talking about people dying WITH COVID, then that's the stat you're talking about. If you're talking about dying OF COVID, then that's a different statistic. Do you really not see that? If you die of COVID, that's how it's listed. If you die WITH COVID of something else, then that's how it's listed. Show me even ONE CASE of what you're claiming. That would literally be fraud. Name one case. You cannot.

  11033.  @alexanderzhivkov4309  - And like I said, 2% translated to 750,000 dead Americans and millions sickened. Like I said, something that didn't exist in 2019 became the third leading cause of death in 2020. That's A LOT. That's not something to IGNORE, which is all you people with your ridiculous talking points seem to want to do - Just IGNORE it. Great idea.

  11034. What? Some clandestine Marxist takeover? There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in all of Congress. Do you understand how a bill becomes law? We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. You do know that Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist, right? How, exactly, is this "takeover" supposed to work? By the way, the US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  11035. We should demand the voting machines everywhere be taken offline. Some things aren't worth the convenience. It's literally connecting numbers to a dozen or so names.

  11036. Casey Clark - Of course her credibility was under attack. Are you serious? Saying she accused the wrong person is an attack on her credibility. Trump mocked her credibility. The only way that could NOT be an attack on her credibility would be if they had either rejected his nomination or said it did happen, but that it was excusable - neither of which happened. Get real.

WTF are you talking about? 9 Trump associates didn't lie about Russian contacts? Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort didn't meet with Russian government reps to get dirt on Clinton and admit it? Papadopoulis didn't plead guilty? What the fuck is wrong with you?
    1
  11044. So, let me get this straight. It's summer, 2016. Clinton and Trump win their primaries. Clinton is heavily favored to win the general election. So, she goes to the head of the CIA and says, "I need you to start fabricating intelligence documents and intercepts so that, in case I lose, we can stick it to Trump". James Clapper says, "Sure. Why not". Then, Clinton and Clapper go to the FBI, the DNI, DHS, The White House, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and about a dozen other intelligence services and ask them to do the same - fabricate evidence, documents, intercepts, etc., and they all say, "Sure". They go to Facebook and Twitter, and have them cook their books to make it look like Russians paid for ads. Hundreds, if not thousands of people get in on this conspiracy, and they're all cool about it. Nobody informs. Nobody gets caught.

  11045. True DukeBlue7 - Literally none of those are lies, and CNN never even said them. There is a difference between what someone might have said ON CNN, and what CNN says. And Trump IS a racist, and the economy is in decline. But those are OPINIONS.

  11046. True DukeBlue7 - And if you are talking about the Buzzfeed story being proof of collusion, CNN did NOT say that. They clearly said IF true. They clearly said they had not sourced the story. And it was IF true, it would be proof of OBSTRUCTION, not collusion, and that is absolutely true.

  11047. Janet Masiello - Name one lie they told. First, look up the definition of lie, then look up globalist. They might as well put Trump's picture next to the definition, because he is CLEARLY BOTH a liar and a globalist.

  11048. rtorres81rc - That story is absolute bullshit! That reporter was in Saudi Arabia. That has been proven. 1-About a dozen other news stations were there in front of the SAME BUILDING. 2-It would cost less to just pay the damn airfare then to do that in a studio. 3-You just proved my point! If you have to go back to 1991 to find a "fake" story that wasn't even faked.
    1
  11049. rtorres81rc - The parking lot thing is bullshit, too. They did NOT say they were in different locations. As a matter of fact, BOTH SCREENS had the SAME CITY named, plain as day. They did not lie. It was a trial. They were outside of different doors so that whichever door the subjects came out of, they could ask questions. They were using a split screen like they do ALL the time, in a studio. They said live via satellite because they were ALSO linked up TO THE STUDIO. Think McFly. What would be the POINT of faking that or the Saudi story? Why do it? Why risk an employee exposing them? To save on airfare? Why even have war correspondents in the first place? Wouldn't a reporter get pissed if he thought he was traveling, and the editor said, "We're not sending you overseas. Be at the studio at nine"? It doesn't make sense! And what would be the point of faking the courthouse video? Where ELSE would one of them be? Use common sense!

  11050. True DukeBlue7- Are you that stupid? Did you read your own definition? INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD. 1- Someone being racist is an OPINION. Prove he ISN'T. Who is the authority? 2-CNN never said he was a dictator. That makes as much sense as saying a mayor is a senator. What, do you think CNN was trying to say his actual job title was different? Pure nonsense. He has dictatorial tendencies, just like he says and does racist things. 3-For CNN to lie about the economy tanking presumes they KNEW what the economy was going to do. Do they have a time machine? Did they see a future good economy, then go back in time and lie about it? 4-Again, they did NOT say the Buzzfeed story was proof of collusion. They said, IF TRUE, it would be considered OBSTRUCTION. And you're calling ME a dumbass? Fucking moron.

  11051. What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? The "shithole" comment. He said he wants Jews, not blacks, to count his money. He called Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to blacks. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racist advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims from the country. He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive, he REPEATS THEM. Why does he keep going there? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. He shouldn't have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader? This isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's. It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses?

  11056. In 2000, GW Bush lost the popular vote, and it came down to a state where his brother was governor. But he came into office with a 62% approval rating. Democrats lose about half of all elections. It wasn't the first time. It has nothing to do with Clinton.

  11058. Paul Brown - I could sue you right now. So? WHAT were they sued for, and what judgements against them proved them liars? Trump is CURRENTLY facing over 476 lawsuits, and has literally been sued SUCCESSFULLY many times. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He was successfully sued for running a sham university. So, when it's his credibility against CNN, Trump is a LOT less credible. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.57d3b4dace15

  11059. Paul Brown - 70 retractions in +/-30 years isn't bad at all. It's a big, 24 hr news outlet. They work on deadlines and compete with other outlets. Sometimes sources give inaccurate information no matter how well vetted. Trump PLANTED STORIES IN THE MEDIA. He phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He paid for fake polls during the 2016 election. He paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. Defending his credibility by attacking CNNs is laughable. And retractions are NOT lies.

  11061. Emanuel Tash - What Cuomo said about reading Wikileaks was a mistake, not a lie. What you are saying about Trump and Flynn is absolutely false, and I challenge you to prove otherwise. Furthermore, I'd bet money that it's true that Trump instructed him, but nobody knows that for sure, so CNN would not present that as fact. You should look into the facts surrounding the Flynn thing. There is very convincing evidence. Got a source on those stats? If you are calling those other things lies, then YOUR credibility is questionable.

  11062. The FBI is not political. They're cops. Many started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They want to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were probing two unpopular candidates - both for good reason. The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Is it a stretch to think FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump voters? Why would they be so in love with Hillary? She had high negatives. The same goes for CIA analysts, who couldn't care less about politics when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the DNC. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat. It's absurd.

  11063. Mario - If you say Clinton's oppo research was collusion, then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Don Jr said that was just oppo research.

  11065. @Dog faced Pony soldier The intelligence reports are proof. The Trump Tower meeting was proof. What are you even talking about?
    1
  11066. @Dog faced Pony soldier - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  11067. @Dog faced Pony soldier Uh, they succeeded in 2016. The dirt got out, and Trump was elected. The Trump Tower meeting was CLEARLY collusion, ie, cooperation. Is that acceptable to you? Yeah, I'm sure you'd have been just fine with it if Biden did that, RIGHT?? Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring.

It's understood to them that they just need to follow Trump's lead - no matter what dumb shit he says - and let FOX News and the social media trolls amplify their message.

  11085. Because of the expansion of the universe, most galaxies are moving away from all of the others, the exceptions being like the Milky Way and Andromeda, which are on a collision course because the mutual pull of gravity and/or speed are stronger than the expansion. It's the same reason that stars within the same galaxies are not moving away from each other. Gravity is stronger. Assuming the dark energy behind the expansion will remain constant, (or become stronger), we're headed for eventual heat death, the "big freeze." But there are alternate theories about a "big crunch," where dark energy will not be strong enough in the future to overcome the total gravity, and everything will fall back together. The Milky Way is falling into Andromeda, but space itself isn't contracting. We're still moving THROUGH space towards each other. So why does the big crunch theory seem to suggest that space/time itself would contract back toward the singularity? Wouldn't everything with gravitational attraction come back together, leaving space itself still "out there," like picking up a rug with marbles on it by the edges, and the rug remains the same size while the marbles roll together?
    1
  11086.  Tony Piano  - Gravity "pulls" things through space, like it's pulling us towards Andromeda, but only because we're close enough to it and moving in the right directions at the right speed. I'm asking what would make space itself contract, not just the objects in it.
    1
  11087.  Tony Piano  - I wondered about how gravity could pull anything since it's not a force, but a warp in spacetime. Things follow the "groove", but what gets them started. The best explanation I've gotten, (that I can understand, anyway), is that gravitational "force", is different even between your head and your feet, and that difference creates starts the motion. But there's a good chance I'm misinterpreting that explanation. Gravity isn't just larger objects acting on smaller ones, though. They act together. When the moon orbits the Earth, the center of gravity isn't the center of the Earth. It's offset, and the Earth wobbles slightly. Even the sun wobbles a little because of Mercury.
    1
  11088.  Tony Piano  - Yes, but could it be possible that we "expanded into" another set of spacial dimensions we can't comprehend? Scientists wonder where all the antimatter went that didn't annihilate the matter we see. Maybe it got pushed out beyond the light horizon?
    1
  11089.  @PrivateSi  - Thanks. I don't quite get it all, but what I do get sounds about right.
    1
  11090.  Tony Piano  - That's exactly what I said from the beginning. That's the entire point. Gravity is responsible for the mutual attraction between the Milky Way and Andromeda, along with speed and direction of travel. If ALL galaxies were moving away from all others because of the expansion, they obviously couldn't bump into each other.
    1
  11091.  Tony Piano  You clearly do not get the premise of my post. You just keep repeating my premise as if I don't understand it.
    1
  11092.  @PrivateSi  - I think I get it. If EVERYTHING in the known universe "crunched" back together, it wouldn't be like the way Andromeda and the Milky Ways' gravity overcome dark energy - where the space between doesn't APPEAR to contract like an expanding rug with marbles rolling together on top? The expansion of the rug actually DOES slow down a little around the marbles, and if everything crunched back together, the contraction would be noticeable? Even the space between stars is expanding a little more slowly than in empty, intergallactic space? Space isn't expanding at an equal rate everywhere? If I get it, I think that's why it's important not to think about gravity as a force, but a warp in space/time. I presume time would do some weird things, too, in a "big crunch" scenario as things got closer to the singularity again.
    1
  11093.  Tony Piano  - No, I think I get it. It's not exactly like marbles close together coming together on an expanding rug because the expansion of the space between actually does contract a little - exponentially more closer to the galaxies - but because of how huge the universe is, it isn't noticeable? Thanks for the info.
    1
  11094.  Tony Piano  - Wouldn't Jupiter potentially fling as many things towards us as it does away from us?
    1
  11095.  Tony Piano  - I get that space/time and the universe are the same, how it all started with the big bang, how there were no spacial dimensions to "expand into" because space itself started then, and all of that. When I say "contract" I'm talking about the opposite of expansion, as in the big crunch theory, (which I know is not the leading theory). Let's say a rug=space, magnetic marbles=galaxies, magnetism=gravity, and dark energy is what's expanding the rug. Say the rug is constantly expanding at as you set the marbles on it. The marbles move apart because the space between them is getting bigger - except for the marbles you set close enough together for the magnetism to attract them. In that case, they come together by rolling on top of the rug. The space between those marbles doesn't contract. Now say the rug stops expanding, as in the big crunch theory. Magnatism takes hold, and all of the marbles roll together on top of the rug, and clump together. The rug doesn't contract. There is no reverse dark energy. My original question was - What would make the rug shrink? Wouldn't the rug remain, with a clump of marbles in the middle? I believe the theorists who say the rug would shrink. I just didn't see how it could without some kind of reverse dark energy. To the best of my understanding, it's in the warping of space, which happens much more closer to massive objects.

  11112. Why do we only hear about masks and distance? I think people mindlessly go through the motions. 6ft. apart is to avoid breathing the same air as others before the moisture falls. Following 6ft. behind someone without a mask is the same as being too close. Elevators and city busses are major COVID traps. Air lingers. You can smell tobacco or weed from a passing car. With weed, there's a good chance the joint was passed around. Use edibles. A healthy immune system might be the difference between a slight or a bad case. How many people attend events in cars, but stop at the same gas station close to the event, breathing the same air, with the A/C blowing everywhere? Pay at the pump. Shopping less often thins crowds, and allows time for viruses to become unviable before you touch your groceries again. Are you aware of touching your eyes after taking off your shoes, after walking on possibly virus-covered floors? The more a virus spreads, the more chance it has to mutate. Then we need a new vaccine.

So, Biden forgot what city he was in one time? So? Trump thought Frederick Douglas was in the room. He can't get tongue-tied without trying to say he meant to do it. He screws up the most common words. If you even start to compare Biden's speaking abilities to Trump's you obviously have a buas that precludes you from all reason.

Outsourcing has been a problem for all administrations, but if the timing is any indication, if any president is to blame, it's Trump. His platform was stopping outsourcing. Looks like he failed. You don't even know how to spell "border." This crisis is a mix of the YEARLY surge of asylum seekers we have had for decades and a direct result of TRUMP'S draconian immigration policies. We elected Biden knowing he would stop that awful pipeline. It's time to end the dead-end, polluting stranglehold the fossil fuel industry has on us. Clean energy will CREATE many jobs. But you're using terms like "communist" and "Beijing Biden," so you're clearly parroting talking points with no understanding of the facts whatsoever. Got ANY evidence of Biden being in bed with the Chinese? ANY? And don't give me that "He 'got money' from China" BS. "Got" it from who? For what? I'll point out that Trump PERSONALLY made $5.6 million from Chinese STATE-SPONSORED companies during his term, produces his products there, and got his daughter Chinese trademarks even as he waged a failed trade war with them - that he repeatedly LIED about.

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.

Don't you know by now whether to take Trump literally or figuratively? If you can't read between his lines, you're an idiot. Why should a president ever have to be articulate, or even use complete sentences? It's simple: If Trump's mouth gets him in trouble, he was joking. If he says something racially offensive, then prove his words were literally offensive, or else you're just a liberal, socialist hater, who hates America. You just can't handle how real he is. "Just remember, what you're seeing and hearing is not what's happening". (An actual Trump quote). He can hereby order ANYTHING, because of Article 2, so don't let the fake news tell you differently. No thanks to libturds giving the Chosen One a hard time. He sacrificed everything to save the world. He's a genius, and a stable one, too! He learned to drive when he was three...oh, wait, that was Kim Jong Un. But he was born under a double rainbow...oh, wait, that was Kim Jong Ill.

  11152. Trump often complains that his words are misunderstood. He should learn to better articulate. How many times have you heard his associates say, "I think what the President MEANT was..," and then blame liberals and the media for misunderstanding? Or said he was "joking" about things he's OBVIOUSLY not joking about? At the Helsinki summit, he said we should have known that he meant to say, "I don't see why it WOULDN'T have been Russia (who attacked our election)," instead of "WOULD." Well, you'd have to be an idiot to not know what his position is. Does any reasonable person think he was really joking about not wanting COVID testing because the numbers make him look bad? He was joking every one of the dozens of times he had said it before? We know what his position is. How about his being "sarcastic" about asking Russia to find Hillary's emails? Does he even know what "sarcasm" means? Later, he would make it clear that his position was that it's okay to solicit foreign election help. Think he was joking when he openly asked China to help him win? When he said it was okay for voters to vote twice if it was in his favor? When he said he would pardon DHS staff for breaking eminent domain laws? His supporters cry, "the media lies" without being able to cite anything but the rare media mistake, but excuse his 19,000 lies. They claim that we just don't understand them, so help us understand. Tell us, Trump fans, why do you abandon all reason and common sense for him?

  11155. Democrats and media need to focus on Trump's LYING, and make that a central issue. Trump lies even more in his campaign speeches than he usually does. We just heard audio of his sister being disgusted by his lies. If the people at FOX News were serious about being good journalists, they would fact check Trump. https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/01/president-trump-made-19127-false-or-misleading-claims-1226-days/%3foutputType=amp

  11158. That is so not what's going on. Trump waged a trade war that hurts us more than them in order to get them to change criminal behavior they won't admit to. "You know that intellectual property theft we're not engaging in? Okay, we'll stop". This is pure folly.

  11159. Saudi Arabia and Iran are in a proxy war in Yemen, yet every time Yemeni rebels attack Saudi interests, Trump immediately blames Iran, before the intelligence has even had time to be analyzed. It's all political to him.

  11163. I don't buy that crap on those commercials and human interest pieces on the news about how Americans are "all in this together" and showing all of this altruistic spirit and togetherness. BS. Americans are selfish, and more into symbolism than substance. We act like these few temporary sacrifices and having to stay home - which most aren't doing anyway - is just SO horrible, as if we're locked down like it's occupied Fallujah. People do what they want to do.

  11164. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  11189. Matteo Bianchi - Jeez, wake up! You really think Trump is NOT trying to sabotage things for Biden. Cone on, man. He outright said he wanted to delegitimize Biden because he feels like the left did it to him by investigating the MANY, VERY REAL suspicions he aroused with the Russians. Is there ANYTHING in the way he acts that suggests he ISN'T that vindictive? Has he EVER acted in a bipartisan manner or tried to unify? Ever? By the way, the following is UNCONTESTED FACT. Tell me that wasn't worth an investigation while you people demand Hunter Biden's head on a pike: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting.

Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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 worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  11199. When Mike Pence was asked if anyone in the campaign had any contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, why would they? You people act like that's some normal part of a campaign. It isn't. It's unheard of. Trump, like all candidates, was warned about foreign meddlers and asked to call the FBI if they saw anything like that. Instead, Don Jr said, "If it's what you say, I love it".

  11200. onehothand68 - Who lied every day, too? Democrats? Here's a comparison: Obama made 148 false or misleading statements in 8 years. Trump is at over 9000 in just over 2 years. Anyway, do two wrongs make a right? Is it acceptable? Trump has the nerve to FALSELY accuse Adam Schiff of lying now. The habitual liar can't just gloat that no criminal conspiracy was found by Mueller. He LIED yet again, saying Mueller exonerated him after Mueller SPECIFICALLY wrote that it did NOT exonerate him, and Trump acts like a probe into a foreign attack on our election shouldn't even be looked into! Wake up.
    1
  11201. someone else - Actually, it's far from over. Mueller didn't say there was no collusion, which means cooperation, and isn't a crime. He declined to charge anyone with CONSPIRACY, and he specifically said Trump was NOT exonerated for obstruction. He left that to Bill Barr, Trump's hand picked AG to conclude, but also knows Congress will subpoena the full, 300 page report that tells the story. All we have seen is Barr's 4 page summary. Hope Hicks is cooperating in what is obviously an obstruction probe in another district, and she witnessed the drafting of Trump's false cover story about the Trump Tower meeting. One of Trump's legal counselors quit their job while on Air Force One to not be part of the obstruction. He says Hope Hicks said of incriminating documents that, "Nobody will see those". Well, I bet they will now. Like I said, she is cooperating. Trump could have pardoned anyone Mueller had charged, but can't pardon state crimes. New York is investigating Trump for his dissolved charity, where the NY AG saw "a shocking pattern of illegality". They are also looking at the Trump Organization and the Trump Inaugural Committee that can't account for $107 million. Then, there's the matter of Trump being named "Individual 1" for directing Cohen to commit bank fraud as part of an FEC violation.

  11202. Angry Shamrock - Wrong. Flynn was CONVICTED of lying to the FBI. Lying was not part of his job. Who else lied? Sessions, Page, Stone, Papadopoulos, Don Jr, Manafort, Kushner, Corsi, Trump himself...and more all lied about contacts with Russians during the campaign. That's why there was an investigation.

He gave his daughter and son in law jobs they not only had no experience with, but were also unable to get security clearances, along with 36 OTHERS.

  11214. Matthew Jones - Well let's just legalize heroin, then. Handguns have legal, practical uses. So do shotguns and rifles. Assault weapons are designed to assault - to shoot first, and shoot a lot of ammo. Outside of the theater if war, they have no practical application. Even in war, they're no good, because there you need something fully automatic. They need to be taken off the market.

  11215. DeskAgent - I am in no way in favor of repealing the 2nd Amendment, and nothing in my comment suggests I am. I am in favor of regulating dangerous products. Even the 2nd Amendment says the right to bear arms should be part of a well-regulated militia. ebb's Those assault rifles serve no purpose. In the extremely unlikely event that we are attacked by an outside force, and the military fails to protect us with its far, far superior firepower, and we're down to militias and fighting as an Iraqi style insurgency, a semi-auto won't do much good. It's a ridiculous scenario, anyway. I used to sell guns. Those assault weapons are marketed to people who want to play soldier the way cigarettes with fruity flavors are marketed to kids who are too young to smoke. It's nothing but a marketing ploy that does nothing but create hazards in society so a company can increase its profits.

  11216. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

  11217. LAST CALL - The text states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Whatever category you put "militia" in, it clearly states "well regulated". Can you buy rocket launchers or fully automatic rifles at Wal-Mart? Of course not. Cars, drugs, weapons...common sense says we regulate those things.

  11218. The nearest star is 4.5 light years away, 4.5 years' travel time at light speed, the fastest anything can go through space. The fastest thing we've ever made would take tens of thousands of years to get there. To go faster, you'd have to warp space/time itself. While that's theoretically possible, we're nowhere close to developing the many super-advanced technologies required for it. It takes supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars to even cause a slight ripple in space/time. I'm pretty sure a warp drive would require "laying down the tracks" first, like a train needs a station at which to arrive. The "station" wouldn't necessarily have to be built in space. If it was, it would obviously be made specifically for going to Earth. People look to the sky for aliens, but it's just as likely they'd arrive ON Earth, in which case they wouldn't be hiding the "station" in the big sky. If the "tracks" did end in the sky, they probably couldn't hide that construction project either, and they would have to work out how to get both the "station" and the spacecraft orbiting at right speed and altitude. Because of the light speed limit, no alien species farther than roughly 100 light years away could even confirm that there is intelligent life on Earth. We didn't start leaking waves into space until we invented radio. The best they could possibly do is to confirm the possibility that there's any kind of life here at all by analyzing the light. Any alien species more than 4.5 billion light years away couldn't detect Earth because it didn't exist before then. An interstellar spacecraft built to enter Earth's atmosphere would have to be designed either specifically for Earth's gravity and atmosphere, or be super-advanced enough to work for a variety of planets. Those things beg a lot of questions. How advanced are the aliens? Can any aliens become as advanced as required in the 13.7 billion years the universe has existed? If intelligent aliens exist, the chance there is life elsewhere goes WAY up, so of all of the trillions of planets, why Earth? If they're that advanced and made spacecrafts versatile enough to explore a variety of planets, they'd have to know there ARE a variety of planets with life on them. In that case, why would choose us to visit? Earth would just be like a jungle or forrest full of stupid creatures to them. Do they want to make contact with us or just go on a nature tour? Even with the technology, do they have the fuel, time, and equipment to explore wherever they want? If they can manipulate space/time, they can manipulate time, ie., build a time machine. When people think about time machines, do they usually think, "I can travel to the stars with it"? No, they think, "I can travel to different time periods on Earth." This is why I question people who say they saw a UFO that they're sure was an alien craft. They never ask these questions, or they wouldn't be so sure. They skip over all of that and start jumping to conclusions about what the government must be hiding, and neglect to ask relevant questions about THAT, too.

  11219. Read Castor - Wrong. Look it up. Volume 1 of the Mueller report details many instances of COLLUSION. He didn't charge Trump with the crime of CONSPIRACY. Volume 2 is an obvious roadmap for impeachment over 10 acts of OBSTRUCTION. Under DOJ guidelines, Mueller couldn't indict Trump because he is a sitting President. Over 900 former federal prosecutors have signed a document saying that if Trump wasn't President, he would be indicted. Many say that's as no-brainer.

  11225.  @hueylongadmirer1829  "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. Hey, Trump supporters, how would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel.

  11227. Bob Davis - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?"

"Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members.

(Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning.

Both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did.

Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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.

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected.

So...there are...no more four-year terms? So, Dan Quayle, HW Bush and Al Gore just... didn't think about that?? Are they asserting that also gives them the right to summon a riot at the Capitol as long as they insist they really believed they were cheated??

  11266. 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.

  11269. - Trump has always had a reputation for being a cheater - at golf, taxes, grades, on his wives...every facet of his life. - He enlisted foreign government help in both of his elections. - He told his voters to vote twice in both elections. - He said it was okay to seek dirt on opponents from foreign powers, and that was okay to cheat in his favor. - He purposely slowed down the mail. - He paid for fake online polls in 2016. - He has claimed there was fraud in EVERY election where he or his prefered candidate lost. - He enlisted the help of Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster", in both campaigns. Stone and his former partner, Paul Manafort, are both convicted felons, and were both implicated in the 2016 Russia scandal. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back. - Trump fired the head of CISA for concluding the 2020 election was the most secure in US history. - He opposed election security bills in Congress. - He's been claiming fraud for months, but never took action to secure the election. - There has been NO evidence presented of any significant fraud or irregularities. - He openly worked to suppress voter turnout. We know who the cheater is.

  11276. IMurderdTheDevil - Mueller didn't say he was in Prague. Cohen showed the COVER of his passport. New reporting says cell phone records put him there. That was McClatchy, and other outlets won't run with it - not because it was disproven, but because it wasn't well-sourced, so, no, MSM doesn't just run with anything. The dossier is where that came from. The dossier has NOT been disproven, and much of it has checked-out. And Cohen now admits he lied about not being willing to travel to meet with Russians during the campaign. That's pretty ominous. My bet is that he was there, and Mueller knows it. Just wait.

  11277. 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.

It can include oral testimony of witnesses, including experts on technical matters, documents, public records, objects, photographs and depositions (testimony under oath taken before trial).

  11285. 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.

  11286. Sure, and when the cops show up, they can't tell the good guys from the bad. The problem is that the bad guys think they are the good guys. Statistically, you are dead wrong.

If you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. Ask Beto O'Rourke how his presidential bid went after saying guns should be confiscated. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

Mueller indicted 37 Russians. Interference was found in many areas. The Trump Tower meeting was an OBVIOUS attempt on the part of Russia to interfere, whether you believe Trump was complicit or not. You are either in denial or you are a Russian troll yourself, in which case you should move on and try to convince someone who doesn't have a brain.

  11303. Reuben Handel - Surrogates of the Russian government came to New York and met with Trump's people to MEDDLE IN THE ELECTION. Duh. Do you just want to ignore that fact. Brennen, Clapper, and Comey headed the agencies in charge of finding these things out. It isn't the "opinion" of three men. It's the WORK of the intelligence agencies. Have you forgotten that Trump ADMITTED that the Russians did it before going back to denying it? They did it. Case closed.

  11309. Destiny Gallagher - No, I clearly believe CNN did wrong, but that doesn't make it a deliberate mis-statement of fact. I'm not talking about Trump's critiques of the media. I'm saying he tells outright, deliberate lies habitually. Do you even hear yourself? Look at how far you are reaching to slam the media for one mistake among thousands of reports, and reaching to play gotcha with them. A ballistic missile IS a rocket. Are you serious? It is NOT KNOWN that it was a "fake attack" not meant to kill people. That is pure speculation, and so is the assertion that war was imminent. Even Republican Senators are complaining that the Pentagon will not give them any details about this "imminent" threat. And I notice you have nothing to say about the utter hypocrisy I have pointed out that you exibit by trying to call out the media for their inaccuracies while defending a pathological liar like Donald Trump. He doesn't just lie a little. He doesn't just lie like all politicians lie. He tells whoppers ALL THE TIME. The news media deal with confusion, vetting sources, people lying to them, deadlines, lawyers, editors...and COMPETE with each other to be the most accurate as fast as possible. Without them, can you imagine what dishonest presidents could get away with? Obviously, you can't, because you don't see it happening right before your eyes.

  11310. Destiny Gallagher - What lies has he told? Are you serious?? He just lied today about the Obama and the Iran deal. He lied and said the Chinese called him at a summit twice to offer a trade deal when they had not called at all. He lied about Trump Tower Moscow, about persuing a real estate deal in a country that was attacking our election to help him, leaving him open to blackmail. He lies about how many floors are in his buildings. He phoned a call-in radio show and said he was someone else. He lied about why he won't release his tax returns. He lied about Michael Flynn...Google the Washington Post, CNN, and Politifact fact checks of his lies. They're right there.

  11311.  @destinygallagher1894  Do you think the news media is trying to somehow deceive you by using the word, "rocket"? First of all, they did report that they were ballistic missiles. Second, "rocket" is a very common synonym for "missile". Third, you are really straining to come up with something if that is a sticking point for you. It was also widely reported by the mainstream media, if not CNN, that the Iranian strike may have been designed not to kill. But how on Earth would it somehow be an attempt to smear Trump if they hadn't? Because Trump supporters see everything in the media as an attempt to smear him because you buy into that whole "media is the enemy" bs. We're talking about war and combat here. Sources have to be checked and verified. Misinformation abounds. You simply do not appreciate how difficult journalism can be. They do NOT work for the DNC. Yes, they have narratives. They HAVE TO in order to tell a story that the public understands. There are facts, analysis, and editorials. You should learn the difference. Trump repeated the lie AGAIN that Obama paid Iran to sign on to the nuclear deal. Wrong. We unfroze THEIR assets and finally paid them a settlement we owed them for decades. Trump has the nerve to say they used what he basically is calling bribe money specifically on the missiles that hit the bases. That's pure bs that anyone with common sense can see. He pisses me off every time he blames his predecessors on the world stage. He is ostensibly saying HIS OWN country, OUR country, was wrong to do what we've done in the past, hence telling our enemies that they were justified in their terrorist actions and aggressions against us. How do people not see that?? Yes, he lies constantly. No, there was proven to be NO calls from China, and he didn't say a word about, and there was no trade deal afterward. https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/12/16/president-trump-has-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days/

Yes, it has everything to do with Trump and your hypocrisy if you're trying to play gotcha with Harris if you excused Trump's HABITUAL lying.

(We had LOTS of reasons), and then turning around and projecting "immaturity" in her laugh and claiming she "lied" about something she clearly didn't lie about. Did you complain when Trump lied? Do you have any REAL reason to go after Harris here? YOU are biased. YOU are truly desperately looking for anything to criticize her about. There's simply nothing here in this nothing of an interview.

I'll never understand Obama to Trump voters, but I think they are more uninformed than dumb. But it is clear that Trump supporters, as a group, are DEFINITELY more ignorant and have lower IQs. The bulk of the conspiracy theorists and racists are Trump supporters. Read these comment sections, and it's clear they are less articulate and have worse grammar skills. The supreme irony, though, is that they are the most skeptical. They think they're immune to bullshit, EXCEPT for when it comes to Trump - the biggest bullshitter on the planet! Trumpers - use those keen bullshit detectors on him! Be OBJECTIVE! Ask yourself what you would think if Obama or Clinton did and said what he does!

  11342. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  11351. Watching countries like Russia to keep them from meddling in our elections is exactly what our intelligence services are there to do. Just like with Michael Flynn, they were listening to the Russians, and found Americans on the other end of the conversations. They found Trump's top people meeting with the Russians when they came to New York to try to get Trump elected. Spying on the Russians is necessary. Spying on a campaign is wrong, and that's why the FBI did NOT announce that they were looking into possible Trump/Russia connections. (They did, however, announce they were looking into Hillary Clinton, and it HURT her chances). They did NOT wiretap Trump's phones. Christopher Steele did NOT give his oppo research findings to the DNC. He gave them to the FBI. It was Trump Jr, Jarred Kushner, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Carter Page, Mike Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Jeff Sessions, JD Gordon, others, and Donald "Russia, if you're listening" Trump who aroused REASONABLE SUSPICION about their involvement with Russia. 16 Trump associates LIED about 140 Russian contacts when Mike Pence said there were NONE AT ALL. Common sense, people. Whether you think what they did was legal or not, ethical or not, to enlist foreign help in our elections, it got Trump in trouble. And look what he did. Though completely unnecessary, he insisted it was just fine. He called it "oppo research", (but when the DNC hired an actual, American oppo research firm that the Republicans hired first, he called it treason). Then, what did he do? He did it AGAIN with Ukraine! After all the trouble his screwing around with foreigners caused, that dumbass DID IT AGAIN!! Can you Trumpers really not see the forrest for the trees? "Everyone is lying but me! The media, the DNC, the FBI, and the CIA are ALL in on the world's biggest conspiracy! Any Republican that doesn't agree is a RINO..!" Donald Trump lies twice as often as most people urinate. If Hillary Clinton had won, and did and said the same things as Trump, can you honestly say you would be okay with it? Would it be crazy to even be suspicious? Treasonous to even ask questions? Can you see why the Trump base is being compared to a cult? This is pure insanity.

  11357. Tiffany Valencia - Absolutely false. Trump's own voter fraud commission found nothing. Fact. Do you really think Dems would engage in a large scale individual voter fraud scheme that would require making millions of fake IDs to win a state they were already sure to win?? Know who did get caught voting twice? A TRUMP VOTER. And Trump is the one who TOLD PEOPLE TO VOTE TWICE AND THAT IT WAS OKAY TO CHEAT IN HIS FAVOR. That is a fact. Individual voter fraud makes absolutely no sense with the electoral college and the basic way that voting is done. Do you even vote? If so, you would notice that the names are subdivided into very small districts. Just think about how hard it would be to pull off enough to make any difference.

It's astounding how many IDIOTS do not understand this basic concept.

  11364. 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.

If politics anything to do with it, it was based on Trump's promises. Speculation. The rich and the corporations knew he was going deregulate and pass huge tax breaks for the rich. The numbers in this report prove that you can maintain a STRONGER economy without them. It was nothing but a giveaway to the 1% that ballooned the deficit. Trump is like a Bizarro World Robin Hood who stole from the poor to give to the rich.

  11374.  @mhall801  Gas prices are a result of the pandemic that Trump terribly mis-handled, and most recently, a cyber hack. It has nothing to do with Biden. The mess at the border is seasonal, and there were worse numbers under Trump. Look it up. Many of those people left Central America before Biden took office. Do you think he could have snapped his fingers on inauguration day and make them disappear? Biden has nothing to do with the Israeli/Palestinian situation. Trump declared that he would bring peace to the Middle East "easily". How'd that go? But that's neither here nor there. My comment was about self-defeating, short-sighted Republican political strategies, and how they repeat them even when they fail. You just used that tired, old response where you go off subject and throw out a list of unrelated, complicated issues that you grossly simplify down to which president is at fault, and show that you clearly don't understand the issues.

When they found out he didn't, he blamed the Dems for "obstruction". Republicans had the White House, the House, the Senate, and a conservative majority on the Supreme Court for the first two years of Trump, and only lost the House for the second. They got NOTHING done. Where's that health care plan? Where's that infrastructure bill? The wall? Middle East peace..?

  11380.  @mhall801  And you can't back your claim in any way. You're just mindlessly saying that because a Democrat is in the White House, it must be "dark times." I see what Biden is doing. He's dealing with Trump's mess while working with Congress to pass an agenda that is extremely popular with the ENTIRE public as the Republicans reflexively reject it. Minimum wage increase, infrastructure, addressing climate change, small taxes on the richest earners, and sensible gun laws all have broad, popular support. So does marijuana decriminalization, which Dems can't get Republican support for in the Senate. If they pass it, Biden will sign it.

  11381.  T W  I'm sure the Biden Administration's energy plans have something to do with it, but it's just one factor. We didn't keep the horse and buggy industry around when cars became a big thing. It goes with the territory. I believe that in America, an industry should be able to get as big and wealthy as it can, but the trade-off should be that they can't be too big to fail, and they owe-back the society that allowed them to be successful. Green energy will create a lot of jobs and benefit us all. Biden is being smart about it. He got the auto industry on board with it right from the start. Instead of opposing them, he's working with them.

  11383.  @KTGNetwork  You're blaming the entire left for isolated decisions that were made under tricky circumstances. You're trying to make a false equivalence between the Capitol riots and the many demonstrations that happened last summer. 93% of those protests were peaceful, and of the remaining 7%, 99% of the protesters did not riot. Politicians supporting a cause is not the same thing as endorsing the violence that erupts at the demonstrations. I live in one of those flashpoint cities. The cops and the National Guard sure as hell didn't tolerate it. Some got downright brutal. Thugs show up at big protests the way flies show up at a picnic. They were mostly locals taking advantage of a situation. You think it was political? Do you think, after they looted, those people met up later to discuss the latest issues on "Meet the Press"? Those kind of people don't understand or care one bit about partisan politics.

  11384.  @KTGNetwork  It literally does not infringe on the 2nd Amendment, which even mentions a "well regulated" militia. Does it give you the right to carry a rocket launcher? Is prohibiting silencers an infringement on the 2nd Amendment? With ARs, it's a marketing problem. Tobacco companies can't use fruit flavors and cartoons to sell cigarettes because they're used to market to minors, who cannot legally use the product. Same with guns. Regular shotguns and rifles are marketed to hunters to kill animals - which is legal (and also regulated). Handguns are for killing people, but for self-defense, and that's also legal. Those black, dressed-up AR-type rifles that hold dozens of rounds are marketed to wannabe soldiers who tend to be less stable-minded. They mimic weapons of war, for assaulting. Just like with flavored cigarettes, they're marketed for purposes that aren't legal. I used to sell guns. Those ARs definitely attract a different crowd than the normal, mostly responsible-minded people who buy normal handguns and long guns. Cars aren't made to kill people, but they do, and they're regulated. I don't hear people opposing that. But there is virtually zero chance of the 2nd Amendment being repealed. What politician would try to go in and kill a huge, popular industry like that? It would be political suicide. We watched Beto O'Rourke ruin his own campaign for suggesting it.

  11386.  @KTGNetwork  Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 telling that "snake" story in reference to Muslims. The moral is that, by their very nature, they will betray you. That's the definition of bigotry. If he didn't want people to think he was racist, he should have refrained from saying racist things. You can be the best president in the world with the best ideas, but if you can't ever convince over half of the country of that, then you have failed. There is more to truth than how you can defend your technical, literal choice of words. There is also sincerity. Trump was apparently insincere about race the same way he was obviously insincere about acknowledging that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. "I said they did it" doesn't cut it when we knew his position and saw his actions. Anyone with any sense could see he is racist to the core. How many people close to him had to say it? Oh yeah, they're ALL disgruntled or "just hate him for no reason". Wake up.

  11387.  @KTGNetwork  Sure. Make sure you're armed for some ridiculous, paranoid scenario where the US military attacks its own country, and ignore the very real scenarios playing out every day with street and mass shootings. Those ARs only mimic military rifles. Those are fully automatic. The best you could do is stay alive for a while and mount an insurgency until they call-in the bombers and destroy you. It's funny how in the most gun culture crazy country on Earth, we've got so many people thinking the government that was built on guns, has them protected in its Constitution, and has always allowed the gun industry to thrive is going to suddenly try to disarm everyone.

I knew he wasn't bright and had emotional issues. I didn't know he hadn't matured past junior high school.

Politicians have warned him. And he persists.

  11399.  @downrightdutch4375  - Warren and Sanders didn't use inciting rhetoric. There is no equivalency. There was the El Paso shooter, the MAGA bomber, Charlottesville, the "pizzagate" shooter, and the Coast Guard nationalist. A man who was stockpiling weapons was arrested for threats to a newspaper, calling them "enemy of the people". The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wingers. Hate crimes by the right have sharply risen since Trump took office. 78% of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by white supremacists. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. Both sides have fringe elements, but it's ABSURD for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.

  11408. Dale Mills - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  11411. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

Gary Baldwin - Trump supporters: - Say "fake news!" in defense of a pathological liar. - Call Dems "radical" in defense of the most radical president ever, who announced he would "tear down the administrative state". - Call Biden a nepotist and a crook in defense of a president credibly accused, if not proven to have committed charity fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud, sexual assault, FEC violations, soliciting foreign government election help, bribery, extortion, witness intimidation, dangling pardons, circumventing security vetting, and more, after hiring family members as his top advisors. - Call Biden old in defense of a man of the same age. - Call Biden a racist while Trump has a long history of racist statements and actions. - Call Biden senile in defense of a president who has never delivered a single speech without going off on tangents and rambling like an old coot. - Accuse Biden of hiding in a basement after Trump rightfully earned the nickname, "bunker boy", for retreating to an actual bunker during protests in DC. - Accuse Dems of childishness as Trump continues to tweet daily about things beneath the average 12 year old. - Say "Do nothing Democrats" as the Republican Senate does nothing after its leader declared himself "the grim reaper" for killing Dem-sponsored bills. Republicans haven't passed an infrastructure bill or proposed anything to replace Obamacare. - Accuse Obama of playing too much golf in defense of someone who plays much more. - Decry Obama adding to the national debt as Trump is adding to it at a higher rate. When Trump was told in 2017 that the debt was projected to rise sharply over the next 8 years, he responded, "I don't care. I'll be gone then."

  11416. You Trump followers cry "CNN lied! CNN lied!" like a parrot with turrets. Then, why can't you give an EXAMPLE of a lie? You can't. When you try to, you say one of two things: 1)- "They lie about everything". Okay then give an EXAMPLE. 2)- "They're biased". Bias is not lying. But if you insist that it is, then give an EXAMPLE. CNN is the McDonalds of news. It isn't gourmet. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. What you don't understand is the difference between FACT, ANALYSIS, and OPINION. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what journalism is. The FACTS are rarely wrong, and even when they are, that is called a MISTAKE, not a LIE. ANALYSIS is making sense out of facts for your consumption. It's making a burger out of raw beef. It's also for THEIR OWN consumption. McDonalds employees eat there, too. Even more than you, because they're there all day. OPINION is the answer to "How did it taste?" I know a lot of you are paid Russian trolls. More power to you. Sorry you live in a shit country where your leaders have you brainwashed, but at least you're doing it for your country and making a few rubles. What I'm concerned about are the brainwashed masses of American fools who buy into this crap, because YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are the biased, and foolish enough to do it for free. It's ironic that you defend a KNOWN HABITUAL liar who lies more often than most people urinate by crying, "CNN lies", and you can never give one example.

  11417. There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  11418.  @kh-if6hn  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.
    1
  11419.  @kh-if6hn  Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

  11421. Ed Maphis - A story relevant NOW? Let's see - Clinton was given one question during a primary debate, LAST YEAR, and she was fired. It wasn't illegal. That was a story then. Trump is the CURRENT PRESIDENT, and 3 people have been indicted, one pleading guilty, in a probe about the CURRENT PRESIDENT colluding with a foreign adversary to steal an election. You think the two compare? And WTF is this sudden interest in Donna Brazile AGAIN, with no new information? The Uranium One thing you people get a hard-on over being revived by the White House AGAIN not working out to somehow prove that Trump is innocent? Bob robbed a bank in Delaware last year, so Fred couldn't have robbed a pharmacy in Toledo last week? I wonder if there are new developments in the OJ Simpson case.

  11422. This is one of Trump's dumber conspiracy theories. Google debunked it with one statement for you clueless idiots who don't understand that 1) Search engines don't work that way, and 2) It wouldn't make any sense to steer users toward any political end of the spectrum even if they did work that way. It is based on TRENDS, and if you are signed-in, based on YOUR OWN GOOGLE HISTORY. If you call most news media "liberal", then most results will be liberal sites! How dumb are you Trump cultists?!

  11423. Trump should be careful what he wishes for. He just might get it. If he declares a national emergency, he is locked into delivering real results. The devil is in the details with this wall/fence/slat thing. There will be issues with eminent domain, environmental concerns, lost commerce...In a state of "emergency", Dems will hold his feet to the fire. The media will put him under the microscope. Who gets the contracts? Is the money being well-spent? Is it fast enough for an emergency? Good enough to be effective? And it isn't like it can be done quickly, quietly, and behind closed doors. Will they hire illegals to build this barrier..? All of these questions as developments from 17 investigations start dropping every other day.

  11425. Dev - Because he is a major cause of the problem. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  11429. America is 64% vaccinated with at least one dose. That's as good as it's gonna get. Most who've had one dose will get the second. Most of the other 36% won't even get the first. It's no coincidence that 36% is also the steady MAGA percentage. COVID was so politicized, I'd bet a dime to a bottle of worm spit that most who refuse the vaccine are MAGA folk. I predict COVID won't go away entirely. The MAGA crowd will keep it around enough to mutate into more stubborn strains. It won't be as bad, but bad enough to cause a large number of cases, still much worse than the flu, into the winter. Data will show most of those infected will be MAGA morons. There may be surges in some areas where the CDC will recommend wearing masks again. I'm vaccinated, but I wouldn't mind wearing one again, only to hide my laughter at the fools. We can't segregate into blue and red states or create Magastan, wall it off, (unlike Mexico, I'd gladly help pay for it), and let their fantasy utopia fail without them being able to blame liberals. But COVID is one area where we'll be separate. It won't affect us as long as they don't raise health insurance premiums on those who got vaccinated. (Hey MAGAtards, you have us who wore masks and got shots to thank for there not being 2.2 million deaths and the economy and health care systems not completely crashing, you selfish, anti-social, paranoid freaks).

  11430. 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.

  11431. nmcnmb - Copied from another post - The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of CANADIAN company, who can produce UP TO 20% of uranium from US mines. The advisory board which consisted of 9 US and 5 Canadian government agencies, does NOT have a veto power and was lead by a republican. What is the story here ?
    1
  11432. ...So, A guy who had no stake in the company at the time bribed one out of 9 US agencies? Makes no sense. It's bs. Let it go. By the way, it was over 6 years ago. How far back should we dig into Trump's finances? Clinton showed her tax returns. She's been investigated more than most people on planet.
    1
  11433. nmcnmb - 9 US agencies and 5 Canadian agencies had to sign off on the Uranium One deal. That's a lot of oversight. If you're trying to implicate Mueller or Clinton, for Uranium One and/or whatever Mueller did - related or not - you fail to explain how any of that was illegal. Are you saying Mueller should have stepped-in to stop the sale because Russia was trying to corner the market? Override 14 agencies and somehow force the President to veto it? On what grounds? You also fail to explain why Rosenstein can't be trusted. What's the general point, anyway? Are you saying because they did something wrong (they didn't), that somehow makes Trump innocent of things completely unrelated? You folks mangle everything together because it is YOU who try to find any link between Clinton and Russia because Trump is under the microscope for Russia ties. Clinton, DNC emails, personal emails, Trump, Russia, Uranium One, Mueller, anything Mueller had to do with uranium and Russia...Conspiracy theorists see everything as connected, but it's very simple: Trump got caught screwing around with Russia, so he nonsensically said, "No, YOU screwed around with Russia", and you dense-headed followers are looking for any connection you can find. There is NOTHING THERE, and that's why no members of the so-called "deep state" are being prosecuted. But then, you say THAT is part of the grand conspiracy. It's nonsense.

  11437. Tariffs don't work. They don't actually get companies to stay in the US, and they don't punish China enough to get them to change their behavior, which has little to do with trade. They're stealing of intellectual property and manipulating their currency, and tariffs don't address that. Does anyone really think companies will turn on a dime and start building factories in the US over this? A mass exodus from China? CHINA? We import A LOT from them.

  11447.  @richyrich589  That's because there was only insufficient evidence to prosecute. We have seen plenty of evidence that our President is a traitor. Russia reached out to the Trump camp, and the Trump camp reached out to Russia. Trump said he thought it was fine to take the Trump Tower meeting. Not fine. He should have called the FBI! He KNEW Russia was attacking our election, and he did nothing about it. He wanted them to. He was making a deal with them for a building in Moscow WHILE HE KNEW THEY WERE ATTACKING US. Instead of pushing to punish and sanction them, he worked to LIFT THEIR SANCTIONS. So, what does it matter what could be prosecuted? He has shown his true colors. Why the hell you Trump following fucking retards don't understand that, I'll never know. And you've got some nerve talking about bias! Are you fucking kidding? Tell me you would be okay if HIllary Clinton did that! It's really THAT SIMPLE. WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH IT IF CLINTON OR OBAMA DID WHAT THEY DID?? FUCK NO, YOU WOULD NOT.

Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

  11475. Let me get this straight: Supposedly, EVERYBODY was in on the scam - Individual voters, poll workers, mail carriers, local election boards, the media, the DNC, Biden himself, all Democrats, many Republicans, CISA, the DOJ, Soros, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... And they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only those on Biden's side did this. None were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!? Do you people hear yourselves?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/05/politics/trump-november-election-roundup/index.html

  11476. If Trump's wall funding was a loan from a bank, the bankers would laugh him right out the door. So, Mexico will "pay" with the increased revenue into the treasury? Fine. Trump can open an "account", and start a dedicated wall fund. Let's see how that fund does. Money from a trade surplus doesn't go into the treasury. We also need a good, HONEST, INDEPENDENT study on how much the wall will cost. $25 billion is a figure Trump pulled out of his ass. His first figure was, like, $4 billion. Trump doesn't read or research anything. He notoriously lies about numbers, and shit ALWAYS happens. Think they'll finish under budget? Think he factored-in property rights issues? Lawsuits, probably over eminent domain issues? Environmental concerns? LOST revenue from lost commerce due to that wall? If Trump puts OUR MONEY where HIS MOUTH is, Mexico will not end up paying for anything.

  11478. The deep state consists of only Democrats, even in apolitical agencies like the FBI. Half of them registered as Republicans years ago to go undetected. The deep state is all-powerful, but they let Republicans win elections so as not to arouse suspicion. They wanted Hillary to succeed Obama. With a 94% chance, they thought she'd easily win. But they had an "insurance policy". If she lost, they were ready to activate operatives in the FBI, CIA, DNI, DHS, NSA, the White House, the liberal media, social media, military intelligence, Australian and British intelligence, private digital forensics firms, and about a dozen other agencies. They forged reports, intercepts, emails, and wire transfers, careful not to arouse the suspicion of Republicans around them. Though these agencies couldn't ask what their employees' personal politics were, they found out which ones were Dems. And if they were Dems, they were loyalists who would never blow the whistle. Here was the plan: Even though it hurt Clinton's chances, they leaked the DNC's emails. Why? So that, even with a 6% chance, if Trump won, the deep state could frame him for colluding with Russia. They paid a research firm for a fake dossier, but didn't use it during the campaign. Why not? They know why. They got the FBI to reopen Clinton's prior email probe right before the election. Why? Again, they know why. Good thing, because Trump won! Now, all they had to do was link Trump to Russia with sham probes based on their fake intelligence. It turns out that 16 Trump associates had lied about 87 contacts with the Russians, including a meeting to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Trump's campaign chairman had been a lobbyist for Putin. But even though Trump was reaching out to Russia and Russia was reaching out to him, everything on both ends was legitimate. It was all just a big coincidence. Why did Trump lie about it so much? The deep state knows why. Now, the deep state is co-opting state-level law enforcement. SDNY, book-keepers, tabloid editors, auditors.., conveniently all deep state Democrats, to fabricate 17 investigations to show Trump is a crook. Does anyone really believe this shit?

  11487. I'm white. I support the BLM cause, and I have a few suggestions for them: 1)- Messaging is everything. Arnold Swartzenegger said that in raising awareness about global warming, he found that more people listen when he said "pollution" rather than "climate change," which has become a partisan political term. "Black Lives Matter" is a bad name for a just cause. BLM should target mainstream, conservative Whites. You already have the liberals, and you'll never convince full-on racists. You need the support of Whites who are kind of racist, but don't feel that way - the "I'm not racist. I have a black friend and voted for Obama" crowd. Those are the conservatives who see riots at BLM rallies and think, "Black lives? ALL lives matter. See, THEY'RE the REAL racists." That led to "All Lives Matter" becoming a racial trope. How about "Lives Matter" or "Civilian Lives Matter"? Bad cops shoot MORE whites because there are more of them, though they shoot unarmed Blacks at 3 times the rate. Whites need to know that they might get unjustly shot and beaten, too. 2)- Reject extremism. Extreme liberals made "ALL Lives Matter" a racial trope. They alienate the very mainstream, conservative Whites you should be targeting. They think, "All I said was that ALL lives matter, and that makes me a racist? They're the real racists!" and they stop listening. 3)- Were street protests the best way to get your message across during a pandemic while the internet was ubiquitous? Yes, you've got to show that you're mad as hell. In 2016, I was disappointed when no Dems even brought up the epidemic of bad police shootings. During a simple traffic stop on a crowded street in broad daylight, a Black man riding with his girl and a baby told a cop he had a gun and a permit, and still got blown away. BLM could have reached MORE people with a good online campaign and gotten just as much press coverage without right-wingers saying "They burned-down cities and spread Covid!" Then, they minimized the Capitol coup attempt as just another riot when it was totally different. How about official BLM-sponsored protests during the day, in the park, before sundown? There would have been bigger crowds. It's harder for thugs to hijack a protest at noon when it's full of families and kids in strollers eating hot dogs. At night, looters show up like flies at a picnic, and the good people get blamed.
    1
  11488. For these protests to work, you need to get through to white people. Not white hyper-racists. You can't change them. I mean those who DON'T KNOW THEY'RE RACIST. They don't listen when you say "Black Lives Matter." They don't hear, "black lives matter, TOO." They hear, "black," and think you're calling them racist. They think, "I'M not racist! YOU'RE racist! What about white lives?" Attacking what a white Southerner PERCEIVES as Southern heritage will only send him into the arms of Trump and Hannity. You have to get past their defenses. They have to identify with you. Yes, police brutalize blacks much more than whites, but a better way to approach it is to make them understand that whites are brutalized, too. Focus on the brutality, regardless of race. I DON'T mean ignore racial anti-bias training, but it doesn't help to overemphasize it. We should demand an immediate end to police brutality, but demanding an immediate end to all racism is futile and SELF-DEFEATING. BLM is bad at messaging. Drop the B in BLM. Those who know what it means don't need to be told, and those who don't won't listen. It's been shown that talking about "climate change" makes the deniers tune out. It's become a symbolic term in a culture war. But when you call it "pollution," more people listen. Same concept here.

  11501. Kentucky fried chicken still uses the same original recipe, but it started calling itself, "KFC" to take the focus off of the word, "fried," which sounded unhealthy. BLM should re-brand, and drop the "B." It should still be about racial injustice, but they'd reach other demographics - Conservatives whites who don't know they're racist, are racially insensitive, or simply ignorant about racial issues. A lot of cops fall into those categories. BLM needs visible leadership, and those leaders should resist the urge to appear militant. It just scares whites into voting for Trump, who basically told racists and xenophobes who hated Obama just because he was black that, "You're not racists. You're PATRIOTS defending your culture!" BLM needs to prioritize its goals. Ending police brutality is more important than taking Uncle Ben's picture off of rice. Housing and job discrimination is more important than renaming Fort Hood. They need to put an official code of conduct for protests right there on its website next to the mission statement, which by the way, is not a terrorist manifesto. There are racists online flat-out lying about that. If BLM had leaders doing interviews on the news more often, they could better debunk those rumors.
    1
  11502. They're just reporting the news. Trump is undeniably a divider. He considers anyone who didn't vote for him an enemy. He has never reached across the aisle. He has literally said "those aren't my people" when it has come to the federal government doing its job when blue states need resources. This is OBVIOUS. Don't blame the media.
    1
  11503. He was ASLEEP IN A DRIVE THROUGH. He wasn't sleeping it off in a parking spot. That's not a ticket. He should have expected a DUI. .108 is about 3 beers. My guess is that he was on opiods and got the nods. I've been much more drunk and even on pills, and never had such bad judgement as to fight cops, grab tazers, and be willing to abandon my car to run. He shouldn't have been shot, but that's a far cry from choking out a man in cuffs, blowing away someone in their own apartment, shooting a kid with only a knife - surrounded by a dozen cops, choking out a man selling loose cigarettes, or shooting a man in broad daylight in front of his wife and kid after telling the cop he had a legal gun and permit.
    1
  11504. So, the media is decidedly liberal now? (Someone tell the idiots at FOX News that they are part of the media, by the way). Even if you think the media is "liberal", it's still absurd to say that, therefore, they are inherently against Trump and willing to sacrifice the truth for any chance to attack him. Despite what Trump and his Republican enablers want to to believe, comedians work for laughs, the FBI works for justice, and journalists work for truth. Of course there are exceptions, but to say because it bore some bad fruit that the whole tree is rotten is RIDICULOUS.

  11505. Biden should pardon Trump, but only if Trump asks for the pardon, concedes the 2020 election, apologizes to Biden personally for the outrageous projection in crying "political witch hunt" while politically witch-hunting him and his family, and publicly acknowledges that accepting the pardon is an admission of guilt.

  11508. John Doe - First, that's neither here nor there. If 52% want him removed, he has a snowball's chance in hell of being re-elected. No, I don't like him, for good reasons. There are plenty of reasons to remove him. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

  11513. Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

  11515. A.

Or if you're referencing my comment about who is in control, the Republicans are in control of most of it, so they can't complain about being oppressed by Dems or blame Dems for their dismal legislative record.

  11516.  @gojobuddy  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  11517.  @gojobuddy  When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the 2016 campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, WHY WOULD THEY? That was an acknowledgment that there is NO REASON for candidates to be messing around with foreigners in an election. Turned out, 16 Trump campaign staffers lied about 140 Russian contacts. Have you noticed how much Trump accuses others of misdeeds witj no proof? But we shouldn't have looked into Russia?? Wake Up!

Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together.

  11525.  Daniel Morse  Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring. It is reasonable to suspect and investigate when: - The President's supporters attacked the Capitol as he encouraged them to be outraged over a lie he was pushing. - Trump's actions, words, secrecy, and absurd excuses point to extortion when he claimed Ukraine should investigate his POLITICAL RIVAL to "show they aren't corrupt." (And why would he want a corrupt country to investigate a prominent American citizen?) - Russians attacked an election in Trump's favor as he encouraged and praised hackers, refused to criticize Russia, and 16 of his people lied and covered-up their meetings with Russian officials. - Trump refused to release his tax returns based on ridiculous excuses while insisting he "wanted to" release them, as real evidence of tax fraud was revealed. - Evidence is revealed that Hillary Clinton AND Trump staffers used private email for government business. It is NOT reasonable to suspect and/or investigate when: - Baseless, nebulous accusations and rumors of Biden's "corruption" with China propagate through the internet. - There's no sign of anything close to significant voter fraud, and no suspect or evidence a crime had occurred. - The Secretary of State signed-off on a uranium mining deal, a formality that she had little control over, and no evidence of impropriety. (It wasn't even brought up until years later when Clinton ran for President). - Isolated cases of individuals' bad conduct and text messages devoid of context do not at all suggest a vast, "deep state" conspiracy involving multiple agencies coordinating in ways that defy logic and common sense. - Obama was on a hot mic telling a Russian diplomat he'll have "more flexibility after the election," with no context or suggestion of impropriety whatsoever.

  11526.  @jojofashosho5344  Then why did Trump's lawyers refuse to argue fraud? Are you suggesting this "conspiracy" involved over 60 judges? Trump wasn't even projected to win. He exhausted ALL avenues. Why can you people not live in the real world?

If you can't accept Biden doing what you want, you should check YOUR bias. Did you complain when Trump did what many accuse Biden of doing - Trump gave ostensive approval of China's Muslim concentration camps directly to Xi. Biden tried to EXPLAIN their mentality. He did not excuse them. The Obama/Biden Administration called out human rights abuses. Why would Biden suddenly flip and SAY PUBLICLY that he excuses those atrocities? You're trying hard to tie Biden to China, but there's NO evidence of corruption. "He 'got money' from China" is a vague with no context. Did you complain that Trump personally made $5.6 million from Chinese, state-run companies during his term? Getting Ivanka Chinese trademarks? Asking China to investigate Biden? Producing products in China while in a trade war with them? https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where is it missing?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He was reaching for a Kit Kat bar." Donald - "What about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack, plus, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...but they love Joe. I think a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe. It must be why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What's your evidence?"

  11533.  @jojofashosho5344  Of course votes would come in that way. Bigger counties with bigger cities have more minorities, who are 90% likely to vote Democrat, and a count of mail-in votes would heavily swing Democrat, especially since Trump told his voters not to use mail-in ballots. And HOW do you think this cheating worked? You think poll workers conspired and did this right under the noses of poll watchers? Are you saying counterfeit ballots? You do know that VOTING MACHINES DO NOT ACCEPT DUPLICATES, right?? Tell me, what were the logistics here? The votes were RECOUNTED with 99% accuracy! You simply will not accept facts. I haven't just given you one or two explanations. I have given you MANY. Need more? Let Georgia's REPUBLICAN top election official who voted for Trump explain it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwld6Ly5TVs

  11536.  @jojofashosho5344  How do you not get this? You just said you don't know the logistics. I'm telling you the logistics that Trump did claim are IMPOSSIBLE. This has nothing at all to do with injunctions. No suspect, no evidence a crime even occured, NO CASE. You can't go into court with a suspicion you can't explain. And the President of the United States definitely should not do it over an election - the most fundamental part of our democracy! He staged a coup by lying to the public. In America!

  11541.  @gigi6374  OPINIONS are supposed to be biased. That's what an opinion is. FOX News has more viewership than any other network, and they COORDINATED with the Trump Administration. Do you complain about their hyper-bias? How would you like it if Biden coordinated with CNN and talked to Andersen Cooper and CNN's CEO every day? In a defamation suit last year, FOX News lawyers SUCCESSFULLY argued in court that their own Tucker Carlson was NOT a credible source of information, and that he was only an entertainer. You're barking up the wrong tree. Those peace deals were rightfully criticized for being one-sided and excluding the Palestinians. So, he made one-sided deals with tiny, rich, elite Gulf states. So what? It hasn't done a thing to normalize relations among countries in the region. What is your evidence that Biden is a "profiteer"? If you think that, YOU are super biased. Trump is one of the biggest profiteers on the planet. You can't have it both ways. The stuff about Hunter Biden's laptop did not come from getting "signatures". It came from OFFICIAL US INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENTS made during the Trump Administration, and Trump did everything he could to suppress those reports. That is a FACT. CNN didn't "sit on the story" because they didn't KNOW THE STORY. They PROMPTLY reported it once they did. Duh. Despite what you might think, the media do not work for US intelligence. You really think US intel tell state secrets to the MEDIA?? You are accusing them of fabricating a story. Got evidence? Of course you don't.

  11545.  @gigi6374  No, officials concluded that the travel ban - the ONLY thing he did - did NOT help because it only applied to Chinese nationals, and the virus had already spread too much to make a difference. Here are some FACTS that show how bad he was in dealing with COVID: Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  11546.  @gigi6374  What?? Nobody claimed a GOAL was "false". That makes no sense. And Harris and Biden absolutely did NOT say they wouldn't take the vaccine. Trump, on the other hand, got vaccinated without telling the public. Trump LIED HIS ASS OFF about COVID. But you're okay with that, right?

  11552.  @BrumKid  - What Clinton money trail? Been reading "Clinton Cash"? She has been investigated half to death. Nothing found. Meanwhile, the Trump Organization, the Trump Foundation, the Trump Campaign, and a slew of people in his orbit are under investigation. Let's see if everyone there gets off...oh, wait, Popadopoulos, Manafort, Cohen, Flynn, Gates, and others have pleaded guilty to crimes. There were at least 73 falsely denied Russian contacts during his campaign. You are in denial.
    1
  11553.  @BrumKid  - Uranium One isn't under investigation. It was pure bs, and you obviously don't know the facts about that. Comey was not corrupt, and her emails were investigated. That is over. No charges. If Loretta Lynch meeting IN PLAIN SIGHT with Bill Clinton automatically means he was trying to influence the email probe - if that is cause for suspicion - then how suspicious should we be about Trump lying his ass off about Russia? His son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman meeting with members of the Russian government for the express purpose of getting dirt on Clinton??? What a double standard! Sure, a dozen Trump associates lying about Russian contacts is no big deal. To look into that is a "witch hunt", but a few texts between FBI agents taken out of context is proof of a deep state conspiracy? And Trump, albeit reluctantly, has admitted that Russia hacked the DNC. They did it. It has been proven. If you can't even admit that it happened, you are not worth the time to even respond to.

  11557. Trump's second 2 years won't be like the first. Dems are getting wiser to his methods, and he won't change. He recycles his old talking points. He even repeats the same New Year tweets. He lies more and more. Republican lawmakers may back him publicly, but they curse him in private, and many want their shot at challenging him in a primary for the sake of the party keeping power. The economy won't stay the same, whether it has anything to do with him or not. Our foreign enemies will pull some crap, knowing the window is closing for them to take advantage of his gullability. Enough will be enough for more and more people as he continues to be crude, offensive, and racist. His base may agree with him, but they'll still be wishing he'll just keep his mouth shut and stop giving liberals ammo. Exhaustion sets in. I don't care if you love The Apprentice, could you watch it every day for 4 years? 17 probes will be making news every other day. His base might just want to see those tax returns after all. He can't say every year is under eternal audit forever. And then, there's the Russia probe.

  11562. Trump wants Barr to investigate the "oranges" of the Russia probe, which was based on very reasonable suspicion, namely, that Trump and his people LIED THEIR ASSES OFF about contacts with Russians. The Mueller probe started because Trump created REASONABLE SUSPICION by firing Comey while inexplicably refusing to hold Russia accountable for meddling in our election. Trump insists the Mueller probe was legitimate enough to exonerate him, but at the same time, an illegitimate "witch hunt". And yet, Trump wants to investigate Joe Biden, his biggest political threat, even by sending his lawyer to a foreign country for dirt, with NO REASONABLE SUSPICION WHATSOEVER. Get it, you moronic Trump cultists?

  11563.  @yuritcardenas5080  The Mueller probe took less than two years, and the result was NOT "no collusion". Collusion is not even a crime statute. It means "cooperation", and they clearly cooperated with the Russians. Read the report.

  11564. Trump's says his hush payments to two women he denies having affairs with, (Yeah, right), were "simple, private transactions". His lawyer set up two shell companies and committed bank fraud to get loans to pay it. Trump lied on his FEC disclosure, and it involved another lawyer and the editor of a tabloid that "caught and killed" the story. (The lawyer and the editor have been granted immunity in case they testify). Looks like simple and private got complicated and public. Some free love cost him $280,000 years later, and his wife found out he raw-dogged a porn star. Even after he beat Stormy Daniels' defamation suit, he only got back half of his legal fees, and now he's been implicated in two federal crimes. SO MUCH WINNING!

No analysis - about how his border control policies involve separating families, how his SCOTUS picks were just picking names from lists compiled by far-right groups, and how he inherited a good economy.

His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet no crime scene and no suspect. This is ridiculous.

  11612.  @guidedmeditation2396  I was talking about this report and didn't know why you were talking about Arizona.

I was answering the original comment that claimed "regular citizens" have "known" for a year. They didn't know. They were speculating. CNN ran the story now with new information. As for being "wrong" while the other team was "right" is ridiculous. It isn't even about "teams". I never predicted anything. It's always been a possibility that I never ruled out. You're showing how tribal you are. What, do you think all liberals said it couldn't have been a lab and all conservatives think it was? Nonsense.

  11615. Post Trump - That was debunked long ago. The FBI, DHS, CIA, DNI, NSA, British, Dutch, Australian intelligence, and 7 private firms say otherwise. Not to mention Don Jr met with Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos says the Russians had the emails. It defies common sense to say Russia, known for their meddling, wouldn't have done it when they were clearly reaching out - while Putin hated Clinton and Trump liked him and defended him so much... And his Russian bank dealings. Get real.

  11616. Post Trump - Every member of Congress, that includes all Republicans, agree the Russians did it. Everyone in the White House except Trump. You are truly out of touch with reality if you don't even believe the Russians did it. Trump's own son attended a meeting where, obviously, the Russians were... WTF am I even trying to convince an id...? Do you think they faked the moon landing, too?

  11621. Marina Proger - No, but people flock to these comments who want to make everything about Trump. This is one of those issues, seeing as so many Trump supporters are the same ones trashing the Parkland kids. I'm calling out the hypocrites who will back Trump's disdain for comedy about himself, yet defend Louis CK. It's not like this isn't politically charged. Fuck off.

  11622. matthew sanders - 20% of Americans support repeal, and 20% if the population will believe any crazy idea. It's political suicide for any mainstream politician. The number will increase, however, if there continues to be no compromise by the far right after each mass shooting.

  11623. - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

That doesn't change the fact that there was no violence or looting at 93% of the protests, and of the remaining 7%, 99% did not participate in any violence or looting. Hundreds entered the Capitol. There were organized groups there, and for a decidedly political, partisan reason that the party itself encouraged.

  11628.  @jimcapone1326  - "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot, as Trump stood there and cheered him on. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He attacked his own, loyal VP on Twitter as the mob searched for him.

  11633. Talking Points for MAGA Trolls: - Call liberals communists. Let them know that they'll wake up one day soon in Cuba, 1959. If they point out that Trump cozies to an ex-KGB agent who wants his Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics back, call them a "brainwashed Dumbtard." - Polls are always fake, especially if it's CNN. When asked, "How does faking a poll even help? Didn't high poll numbers HURT Clinton in 2016?" or they mention that Trump paid for fake polls, call them a "brainwashed Dumbtard." - Show how clever you are. No pun on "Democrat" or "Obama" is stupid, and they're all hilarious. 90% of Dems who read, "Obummer was married to a man" switch to Republican. "Dumbocrat, Dimtard, DemonRat..." are brilliant. - Project, project, project. "YOU'RE the puppet. YOU'RE the cheater. China is helping Biden. YOU'RE biased," and of course, the ever popular, "YOU'RE brainwashed, Dumbtard." - MSM lie all the time, and they lie about Trump being a pathological liar. If someone asks for an example or a reason why you defend an habitual liar, call them a "brainwashed Dumbtard." - The left has always hated Trump and they have absolutely no reason to. They're just haters. Call them "Hatey McHaterson." Then, call them a brainwashed America hater." - Democrats want open borders, city slums, and kill babies for sport. Opposing racism is the most racist thing you can do. Those Stupid, brainwashed Dumbtards. - Mueller said there was no collusion. Period. It doesn't matter that collusion is not a legal statute and Mueller would nevet say it. Repeat it over and over - NO COLLUSION. - The fact that nobody has proven there is a leftist deep state only proves just how deep it goes. So deep that they ALLOW Republicans to win half of all elections. - Always ignore the following questions: - Why did Trump's people lie about Russia? - How is this socialist takeover going to work? - Why did Trump say it was okay to cheat in his favor? - Why does COVID make it too unsafe to vote in November, but safe for school now? - If you hate dishonesty, why do you love Trump? - Why did Hillary cheat in a state she was sure to win? - How was the Trump Tower meeting not collusion? - Why is it "oppo research" when Trump solicits foreign election help, but a treasonous coup when US intelligence looks into Russian meddling? - Why was Obama responsible for everything, but Trump is responsible for nothing? - Why is it okay for Trump to use an unsecured cell phone, and for his kids to use private email for business? - Why is it okay for Trump to make accusations with no proof, but looking into Russia on probable cause is treason? - Why is it senility when Biden says absent-minded things, but not when Trump does it? - How is Biden racist for saying a few dumb things about race, but Trump, with a litany of racist statements, is the "least racist person"? - Why does the Trump White House have so much turnover? - Why aren't Trump's emoluments violations wrong? - It doesn't have to make sense if you repeat it enough. Keep insisting Clinton sold uranium to Russia and spied on Trump. Repeat the claim that Biden took a billion dollar bribe from China. Repeat that more testing means more COVID cases...And remember to call liberals "brainwashed Dumbtards."

  11639. Sean Ware - He is the least popular. That is a fact. He literally did worse by the numbers than ANY previous candidate. The Russians helped push him over the line against another unpopular candidate, Clinton, so the idea that the "deep state" loved her so much they would risk their lives and freedom for her is absurd. James Comey cost her 3 points by announcing the reopening of the email probe. He did NOT announce that there was a counterintelligence probe that was leading back to Trump. But instead of thanking him, Republicans falsely call him a liar and a traitor. Instead of thanking the media for giving Trump equal and free airtime, they curse them and call them liars. Of course, never naming a lie, and ignoring the 15,000 Trump has told. SMH.

  11640. Trump used money from his sham charity to bribe a Florida AG to decline to sue his sham university. He wrote a check! You can see it online. That AG got a cushy federal job when Trump was elected. Yet, his supporters complain about Biden's son getting a job because of his connections.

  11641. Kip McEwen - Polls did NOT say that. They reflected a good chance of a narrow victory. I can't believe how many of you IDIOTS don't know what a percent chance is! She won the popular vote!

  11643. DANNY73 - In an impeachment inquiry, the House side does the investgative part. They basically decide to indict or not, so no, the defense doesn't get to call witnesses. If detectives and prosecutors are investigating a crime, they interview potential prosecution witnesses. If they indict, it goes to trial. That's akin to the Senate trial. That's when both sides gets to call witnesses. And the defense doesn't get to dictate which lawyers the prosecution uses. That's what McConnell is trying to do. That's why Pelosi is holding back the articles. This "unfair" bs coming from Republicans is ridiculous. McConnell is getting a taste of his own medicine. When the shoe is on the other foot, he doesn't like it so much. McConnell doesn't operate in good faith. He is like Trump, who will do whatever he can get away with, then complains when his opponent puts down the knife and brings a proverbial gun to the gunfight he started.
    1
  11644. DANNY73 - ...And yes, the Dems can ask for quid pro quo. The Republicans don't "run the show". They haveca majority, but a simple majority vote decides what the rules will be and what witnesses will be called. It is COMMON SENSE that the accused should want witnesses that could clear him if he is innocent.

  11645. CMo - It doesn't require a crime, but there was crime committed. It is illegal to solicit foreign election help. Trump and his own people admit the action.

  11652. 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.

If that happened, ISIS would be strengthened. (Not to mention, we'd have major conflict with Russia). The US position used to be that the Assad regime must go. Trump changed it to allowing Assad to stay for now. 5)- War plans to fight ISIS were drawn up before Trump was in office.

  11683. MSM critics - -- Learn the differences between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. -- A LIE is knowing a FACT and saying otherwise. An OPINION cannot be a lie. If you're going to say, "MSM lies", back it up by NAMING THE LIE. -- CNN can't "cover up" anything, because CNN is not the sole gatekeeper of information. -- All of those CNN "faked green screen" videos are complete bullshit. They've all been debunked. The biggest problems with conspiracy theorists are confirmation bias and a total disregard for common sense. -- You're abusing the definition of the word, "fake". Look it up. OPINIONS you don't agree with are not fake. Bias is not fakery. -- "Enemy of the people" is a term coined by Joseph Stalin. The fact that Trump uses it daily like a parrot with fake news turrets syndrome should shoot a chill up your spine. -- Typing into a Youtube search box, looking for some journalist wannabe to confirm your bias is NOT "doing research". -- Liking alternative music over corporate pop crap is good. Going to the family-owned, dive restaurant rather than eating at Applebees because the food is better is good. Supporting the local bodega rather than raising Wal-Mart's quarterly earnings is good. That's NOT the case with news media. Why? Because CNN, BBC, CBS...can afford editors, FACT CHECKERS, correspondents all over the place, planes and trucks to get them places, high-priced reporters whose reputations are their assets, and SOURCES ON THE INSIDE. Do you think Mark Dice knows high-level people at the Pentagon? Do you think White House aides are leaking information to TYT? -- MSM isn't controlled by the DNC, the CIA or the "deep state". They ARE controlled by ADVERTISERS. Their motivations are not political. They're motivated by SENSATIONALISM. It makes no sense to limit yourself to one political party. Yes, MSM will and DO report on Democrats behaving badly. (Listen to "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley). -- MSM's product is information. You complain about corporate media. Well, corporations are CAPITALIST, not socialist. Capitalism is based on competition. News outlets compete with each other to get the most accurate information out there before their competitors do. I know it seems homogeneous, and they almost always report the same stories, but that's a consequence of that competition. I have problems with MSM, but not with their "bias" or some perceived notion that they're working for the DNC. I think they're obnoxious, homogeneous, and overly sensational. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. EXTRACT the FACTS from the opinions. -- Of course they use narratives. They HAVE TO. Narratives are what sell their product - information. ANALYSIS is what helps the viewer understand what the raw information means. You don't have to agree with it, but disagreement with the OPINION doesn't mean the FACTS are inaccurate. -- FOX News is a mainstream media outlet. It's corporate media, and it's the ultimate biased outlet. They coordinate with the White House. Who is FOX News' competition? It has no competitors to keep them in check. FOX News has a monopoly on "conservative", visual, non-print media, which is the format most people use for news. If I see fifteen people standing in a group, and I stand to the right of them, does that make them "the left"? No. The center may be halfway between them and myself, but the center of gravity is a lot closer to the group. FOX News is not conservative, but ALTERNATIVE media. They coordinate with Donald Trump and social media to form a feedback loop of OPINION that thrives on confirmation bias. -- Check your hypocrisy. I know you're capable of understanding the concept of bias, but you're blinded to your own. You're too tribal, and just, plain ignorant about how journalism works. Trump and the GOP are taking advantage of that, and playing you for fools. -- Think about it. Someone who spends all day every day on CNN's Youtube channel just to bash CNN is either a paid troll or an idiot. "Their ratings are dropping. They'll soon be gone!" That sounds like those doomsday preachers who say, "The world is going to end next week!" and next week, they say it will be NEXT WEEK, and never address the fact that they've been wrong every week.

And BTW, Trump said everyone would have better, cheaper, and complete coverage while not messing with pre-existing conditions. Lie. And are you saying that because Obama lied, it's okay for Trump to do it? Idiot.

  11688. Daniel Djr - Only 12% of the world's oil comes from the Middle East. You're blaming Clinton? Ever hear of the Prescot/Bush family? You know, the dynasty that started tapping into Saudi Arabia's oil fields in the 1930's? The family that gave us two presidents, father and son, who both waged war in Iraq? The son, who had Dick Cheney for a VP, whose former company made billions from practically running the Iraq war? Nah, it was all Bill Clinton's fault! Learn something before you post ignorant shit like that. Trump has had little or nothing to do with the trend.

  11691.  @DYRBCebuCity1968  Don - "Officer, my money was stolen." Cop - "Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think that?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out, and they don't even know each other." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  11694. I think a lot of people have lost sight of the fact that the Mueller probe, first and foremost, is about finding out what the Russians did and how to prevent it in the future. If it leads back to some kind of collusion with Trump, then that's where it will have lead. That's it. Think about it: If Trump somehow stopped the probe, the very next question on everyones' mind would be, "So... What are we doing about the Russians? We've got elections coming up". This does not go away. If Trump can't cooperate, never mind as a subject or target - as a WITNESS, then he must resign. He can call it bad luck. He can blame his inexperience. He can blame the Democrats. Personally, I don't give a shit what happens to him. But he can't call it a deep state conspiracy, because that's just paranoid crazy. He can't keep saying his "well-oiled machine" is the only thing that can save us from ruin, because the facts don't back that up - AND that's crazy... Does this require further explanation?

  11697. 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. The Trump campaign is sending out its own absentee ballot requests to voters in North Carolina, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Democrats. That is an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Be outraged. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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.

The assumption, I assume, is that people will be swayed by popular opinion. If that were true, Trump wouldn't be president.

  11709. The reason for GOP voter suppression tactics is that there are more of us than them, so high turnout favors Dems. Minorities are reliably more likely to vote Dem, so it doesn't take a statistician to figure out their motive. There's an easy solution - Vote. - Make sure before election day that they haven't purged your eligibility on some technicality. - Make sure they haven't removed your local drop box. - Make sure you have ID if they require it. In most states, you can register to vote at the DMV. - If you vote by mail, return your ballot ASAP in case the GOP tries to slow the mail again or remove your local mailbox at the last minute. - Clear your schedule for election day. - Dress for the weather forecast. Bring an umbrella in case the GOP makes the line longer and routs it outdoors. - Bring snacks and soft drinks. If you need a lot of weed to wait in a long line, bring extra snacks and soft drinks. - Wear a diaper in case the GOP tries to deny access to a restroom or sabotage the toilets, but whatever you do, VOTE!

  11714. First, there was a counterintelligence probe to look into Russia. Not necessarily Trump/Russia, but Russia's election meddling. That lead to Trump. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" But it turned out that Trump and 16 of his associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. Trump's son and top people had met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump lied about pursuing a Trump Tower Moscow deal that required the approval of Putin, the very person who was attacking our election to get Trump elected. That is PROBABLE CAUSE for a probe. Trump refused to acknowledge the FBI and CIA findings about Russia. He oddly cozied up to Putin and worked to lift sanctions on them. Then, he fired the FBI Director, and said it was over the Russia probe. That's what started the Mueller probe. There was probable cause for the FISA warrant on Carter Page, and a judge agreed. Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm. Its findings were not obtained from a foreign government, there was no quid pro quo, and the findings were not shared with the Clinton campaign. Christopher Steele reported it to the FBI because he found them so alarming.

  11715. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

Do you think Biden will berate red state Governors and withhold federal funds when there's a disaster?

  11719.  @Catherine3385  Right off the bat, a fact check proves he did not say there were no vaccines when he took office. He specifically said there were 10 million doses a day available when he took office. He made a mistake by saying that, because it was really per week, which made Trump look better, meaning it was not a deliberate lie. But the point is that he absolutely did not say there were no vaccines available.

  11726. If the 14th Amendment, section 3 doesn't apply here, when would it ever? Trump isn't even regretful about what happened and he still hasn't conceded the last election. Of course this should ideally be settled at the ballot box, but the Amendment exists for a reason. For extreme cases like these. It's just one of very few disqualifications to run for office. Trump's freedom is not at stake, nor is his money. I think the idea, (back on Earth 1 anyway), is that someone who causes as much trouble as him wouldn't run again, nor would his party back him! Republicans, is he the ONLY guy you can get? One who is such a divider? Such a liar? What about, oh, say, GET SOMEONE ELSE who can carry on his "wonderful" policies without all of the negatives? That's why it's "a nation of laws, not of men". So we don't wind up with a crazy cult of personality!

  11732. When did conservatives become the anti-war, pro free speech crowd? Oh yeah, when Trump got elected. It's not genuine. They don't want to stand up to North Korea or Russia anymore, but they'll gladly support Trump if he starts a war with Iran or Venezuela. And what short memories. Now, we have conservatives saying, "The liberal media was pushing for the Iraq war." What? Are they too young to remember or just trying to revise history? As for free speech, they're quick to condemn criticism of their own as "hate speech", but have no problem with Trump trashing the American free press in the presence of journalist killers like MBS, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin. Ignorant, tribal, hypocritical double standards. They're simply anti-liberal, no matter what the facts are. Just remember, Trump was for the Iraq war before he was against it, and he says we should have TAKEN THEIR OIL. And remember, Trump is the habitual liar who paid for fake polls and spent his life planting stories in the tabloids. "Fake news" is his specialty.

  11746. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

Is there any difference between what American right-wing internet trolls say and what paid, Russian trolls say? There are no more lines, because the only way to make their ridiculous arguments and absurd conspiracy theories work is to gain strength in numbers. I'm a center-left liberal. I used to see conservatives as people with differing ideas who at least had the country's best interests at heart and provided balance. They kept Dems in check. Now, there's no line they won't cross. They can't see past their noses, and can't admit when their ideas and policies are anything less than perfect. They can't respect their opposition. I never thought I'd see the day a US President would use the phrases, "Lamestream media" and "Injustice Department". Republicans are on the wrong side of EVERYTHING to me now. Even when their stated principles are noble, they apply them to situations where they're inappropriate. It's all red herrings, hypocrisy, projection, and a perpetual war footing. I didn't like W Bush, but I never worried that he'd usher-in some existential disaster. I'm truly worried that Republicans are doing just that. And before you right-wingers say, "What about the Dems ushering-in communism?" THEY AREN'T. Period. You just refuse to live in the real world.

  11770.  @TnT24u  I tried to keep it as short and concise as possible, but that's how many absurdities there are in what Trump did. It took that long to cover them all. But I'm sure you either missed the point or you're in denial about what happened. Did you defend him?

  11774. You know, this is a report about the social media criticism Ivanka is getting. You CNN bashers don't seem to grasp the fact that it is not the official position of CNN that she is insensitive. The GUESTS are saying it, not Brianna Kiellor, who, if you people would put aside your own bias, would realize is pretty balanced with her questions. I think they could have done without the report BECAUSE you people don't get it. You should be outraged about the copyrights she just got from China.

  11778.  @connorrigdon9710  The next ice age is 10,000 years from now. Global warming is happening now, and unless we do something, we're screwed in the next 100 years. Also, we can survive an ice age a lot easier, especially with the technology we'll have in 10,000 years, than we can survive Earth turning into a Venus-like planet with 900 degree temperatures and atmospheric pressure that can crush a bus. We can survive global warming with simple mitigation measures, but we have to start now. We have a giant fusion reactor in the sky, and we're tapping-out a finite resource, which WILL lead to economic collapse even before that happens.

  11783. Prediction: Kushner and Don Jr. will be indicted shortly after the November elections amid a shit storm of news about everyone around Trump - in the Trump Org, the Trump Foundation, the campaign, the White House... - flipping and/or being indicted, and Trump will be forced to resign. He'll try to activate the militias and his die-hard supporters to avenge him. The craziest of them will. There may be a few riots and temper tantrums. But then that's it. Pence will be the lamest-duck president in history and will not run for office in 2020. Then, maybe we can finally get some decent candidates. Not that Hillary wasn't decent. She just had too much baggage.

But the DOJ and CISA are the biggest authorities on whether or not there was fraud. The President doesn't tell CISA that there was fraud. CISA TELLS HIM, and they told him there was not.

  11786.  @truth4tufftimes705  Supposedly, EVERYBODY was in on the scam - Individual voters, poll workers, mail carriers, local election boards, media, the DNC, Biden himself, all Democrats, many Republicans, CISA, the DOJ, Soros, the Chinese, the ghost of Hugo Chavez... Supposedly, they did it in EVERY way - Vote counting, poll watchers, voting machines, dead voters, signatures, counterfeit ballots, more votes than people... All of this fraud EVERYWHERE, and not one single instance that wasn't debunked with a reasonable explanation. Supposedly, only Biden voters did this, and none were caught because those in charge were in on the scam. The judges must be in on it, too, because they're turning a blind eye to the "evidence." Even though Biden had a comfortable lead for the entire campaign and Trump never expanded past his 42% base, somehow he "easily" won in a landslide?!? Do these people hear themselves?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/05/politics/trump-november-election-roundup/index.html

  11787. bha bigbig - Those Youtube videos are made by hack journalist wannabes. The facts are the facts. There has not been ONE SHRED of evidence presented in court. Not only did Trump never reach out to voters beyond his base, he ridiculed those not in his base. He was 10 points behind Biden for the whole campaign. So, to be in disbelief that he lost is ridiculous.

  11792. Chaos Magnifigo - Yeah, maybe you should spell out what, "drain the swamp" means, because that's another one Trump wouldn't explain. Common consensus is that it refers to corruption. So, tell me, how is the president who has lied over 5000 times in two years, who had Mike Flynn, Tom Price, Scott Pruitt in his cabinet, and still has Steve Mnuchin, Wilbur Ross, Ben Carson, and Ryan Zinke, going to end corruption? The guy who had crook, Michael Cohen for a lawyer and Paul Manafort for a campaign manager? Google any of those names along with "corruption". Trump is supporting a Republican Congressman credibly accused of embezzling campaign funds. He won't divest his business or release his tax returns. "Drain the swamp"? Fucking retards.

  11795. No, it's not his job, and if it was, it wouldn't be the job of his lawyer. It was the COMPANY that Biden's son worked for, not his son, who was investigated, and they found NOTHING. His job? After all of the problems Trump's collusion with Russia caused, he's doing it AGAIN?! If it was Obama, Republicans would lose their shit.

  11797. So many of his assertions are that absurd. Like saying an incumbent Vice President - who is on the ticket - can unilaterally decide an election. So...Kamala (and any sitting VP) could just give Biden and herself a second term?!? Why didn't Dan Quayle and Al Gore do that? Actually, Kamala Harris had no problem giving up that "right" by supporting a new bill (may be law by now), that reiterates that, no, Mike Pence nor any VP could have such a ridiculous power. Trump also literally said that Article 2 of the Constitution gave him the right to do "anything he wanted" as President. Really? And yet no previous POTUS ever asserted that right? This country is losing its mind.

  11808. Factual honesty and sincerity are two different things. What is Trump's position on Russian interference? His position on climate change? On punishing the Saudis? Believing sexual assault victims? Border control measures? His attitude toward minorities? He can say he takes a certain position, and his devoted followers will argue the technicalities and try to create reasonable doubt. But in terms of sincerity, reasonable people know exactly what position he is taking and what actions he will or won't take.

Just like the dossier was never actually used in the campaign. Steele gave the information to the FBI, not Clinton.

  11814. The USMCA, the "new NAFTA", has not taken effect yet. It is unproven. It was a deal involving the Mexicans and Canadians. Think Mr. "Art of the deal" got the best of them? A trade deficit/surplus is not money in the bank. It's about the difference in what we buy from and sell to other countries. A surplus does not go into the treasury. And punitive tariffs are offset by tariffs our trade partners put on us. If Trump wants Mexico to pay for a wall/fence thing, he has to show how. Think Trump is a number cruncher? He doesn't have the capacity or patience for anything technical. He is all about PR. He doesn't take advice, and he doesn't learn. Think he'll start a dedicated wall fund? He is infamous for trying to take money from pile A to put in pile B. He "loves spending other peoples' money". He calls himself the "King of debt".

And they got 3 million illegals to actually want to do it, even though Hispanics vote Republican as often as the general population? Trump's own voter fraud commission found nothing.

  11830. There are only two possible reasons the Obama Administration would have spied on the Trump campaign. 1)- To prevent his election, or 2)- To smear him in case he got elected. You can eliminate the first one. No information gathered by US intelligence was used during the campaign. The ONLY possibility would have been to smear Trump in case he won. That WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SENSE. Why would Clinton, with a 94% chance of winning, bother to prepare for that 6% chance? For a 6% chance, would Obama, FBI, and CIA officials in non-political agencies - most of whom were Republicans - risk their careers and their freedom? Would they engage in a MASSIVE conspiracy involving dozens of people across multiple agencies, right under the noses of Republicans among them, just to make Trump look bad? If the FBI was so desperate to ensure a Clinton victory, why did Comey re-open her email case and HURT her chances? Why DIDN'T he announce that there was a probe into Trump's possible ties to Russia? IT MAKES NO SENSE. The FBI was trying to safeguard the election from Russian attack. In the process, they uncovered many Trump campaign ties to the Russian government, WHICH THEY LIED ABOUT.

  11835. The REAL Marco Polo1 - So, you people are even projecting prohection now? Your president, The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns. The “genius” who hides his college grades. The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 yrs. The “playboy” who pays for $ex. The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church. The “philanthropist” who defrauds charities. The “patriot” who dodged the draft. The “innocent man” who refuses to testify. The “President” who takes no responsibility. The “tough, strong man“ who wears makeup and hairspray but never a mask. The “deal maker” who has yet to close a deal. (I'd add "The 'asset to the black community' who constantly says racially offensive things"). If America reelects this guy, it deserves the dystopian future that follows. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.” ― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999 “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.” ― The Donald @ The David Letterman Show, January 2015 “We’re going to have insurance for everybody. We’re going to have a healthcare that is far less expensive and far better.” ― The Donald @ interview with The Washington Post, January 2017 “Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.” ― The Donald @ interview with CNN, 2007 “I know her [Hillary Clinton] and she'd make a good president or good vice president.” [speaking of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries] ― The Donald @ "Trumped!", a syndicated radio feature, 2008 “I don’t want to pivot... If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people.” ― The Donald @ interview with Wisconsin television station WKBT, August 2016 “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s, like, incredible.” ― The Donald @ campaign rally in Iowa, January 2016 “I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular [i.e. cabinet] positions I just don’t want a poor person.” ― The Donald @ rally in Iowa, June 2017 “I think if this country gets any kinder or gentler, it’s literally going to cease to exist.” ― The Donald @ Playboy, March 1990 “The point is that you can’t be too greedy.” ― The Donald @ “The Art of the Deal”, 1987 “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” [speaking of having $ex and referring to women's geпitals as “potential landmines”.] ― The Donald @ interview on The Howard Stern Show, November 1997 “Vagiпa is expensive.” ― The Donald @ his second wedding, as retold on The Howard Stern Show, 1997 “Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.” ― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2013 “You can’t con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.” ― The Donald @ “The Art of the Deal”, 1987

  11838. Make no mistakes. The Chinese want Trump in power. They can manipulate him. They can bribe him. He approved of their concentration camps. He caved on Hong Kong. His trade war is a failure - nothing but an import tax on US companies. When Trump starts telling you China is helping Biden, don't believe it. And don't believe that absurd lie about Biden somehow taking a BILLION DOLLAR Chinese bribe. Biden wants to ACTUALLY move manufacturing back to the US, not just lie about it like Trump is doing.

Since Trump and his people OBVIOUSLY solicited Russia to help get elected, your "I know you are but what am I?" projection will lead you to pick a country that is helping the left. Get this straight - Trump is the only one who ever factors-in foreign help at all. Tell me, why did all of his people lie about Russia? Why did Trump ask the Chinese to help him? That's a thing of value, so TRUMP IS THE ONE GETTING PAID BY CHINA. But you just block that out, right? Russia, Ukraine, China...it's common sense to say they want something in return for their assistance, right? Duh.

  11845.  @jeanparus5115  Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

Split hairs all you want about the editorial and analysis by the "liberal" media, but editorial isn't fact. They get the facts right 99% of the time. It's the facts that make Trump look bad. The facts make him look guilty. It's absurd to blame liberals for that. Did liberals make Trump's son collude with the Russians? Did liberals make 16 campaign associates reach out to the Russians and lie about it? Trump is such a hypocrite calling the news fake. He planted stories in the tabloids for years. He once phoned a call-in show claiming to be his own publicist. He lies all the time. So, biased analysis by the press makes them the "enemy of the people", but we should accept the PRESIDENT lying to the people?

  11858. free American - Why are you watching CNN and commenting? It's pathetic. You people say they lie constantly. Show me ONE LIE. I don't mean a retraction. A lie they have ever told? And don't bother citing Youtube gotcha videos. They are literally all false. Funny how most of you CNN bashers are Trump supporters. In case you haven't noticed, he is an habitual liar. How do you people reconcile that hypocrisy in your minds?

  11859. free American - Obviously, he doesn't have to follow the process (that they all do). That should be evident in what I said about Arpaio. But there is a process, and he didn't follow it. He picks and chooses. He wasn't okay with Iran breaking the "spirit" of the deal, but not the letter. He admits not divesting his businesses looks bad, but hey, the president can't legally have a conflict of interest, so screw it, right? And you people defend him no matter what. No matter how technical, hypocritical, dishonest, or downright dumb. It's incredible.

  11860. free American - Hillary was investigated - You just don't like the outcome. No reasonable prosecutor would persue those charges. End of story. I don't see any prosecutor doing it. And why, then, is Jared Kushner not being prosecuted for the same thing? They even looked into Uranium One, which is ridiculous, because it was obvious there was no crime there, unless you think bribing the head of one of 8 agencies over a deal only the POTUS could veto makes sense. They looked into the Clinton Foundation. There were 8 Benghazi hearings! For what? What was even the accusation? For some bad spin? If that's what gets you imprisoned, Trump and everyone around him would have life without parole. They tried to make her out to be a murderer. And there was a little thing called the Starr investigation. Hillary Clinton has been investigated more than anyone on the planet. Your assertion is ridiculous.

  11861. 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.

  11864.  @mofo6724  - Because Biden follows the science and defers to the CDC for it. Trump, on the other hand, said "I think science doesn't know," lied about, and routed CDC data through the White House and changed the wording in the recommendations. The MAGA World is the Bizarro World.

  11871.  @mofo6724  - Name one thing MSM made up about what he said. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  11874. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

  11875. Trump's own son met with the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT to ILLEGALLY obtain DIRT on Clinton. THAT IS TEXTBOOK COLLUSION.

  11876. Jose Villasenor - Sure. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  11877. Some of that dossier has checked-out. It hasn't been discredited. It hasn't all been proven. But fuck that dossier. It is only a small pebble in a mountain of evidence. Fuck the dossier, and fuck the word, "collusion". It has become a loaded word. The press should just stop using it and use the word, "cooperation". Did Don Jr cooperate with the Russians to influence the election? Absolutely. Papadopoulos? Absolutely. Did Trump cooperate with the FBI, who told him early on to call them if the Russians tried to reach out to his campaign? Absolutely not. Did he know about the Trump Tower meeting? Papadopoulos making contact with the Russians? Manafort offering to update Russian oligarchs on the campaign? Flynn lying to the FBI and talking to the Russians about undermining sanctions? Peter Smith seeking Clinton's emails while in contact with Mike Flynn? Changing the Republican platform to favor Russian intervention in Ukraine? Don Jr talking to Wikileaks..? Is he acting like someone who was kept in the dark about it all? Is he even hinting that, while he did nothing, his associates did? What kind of total idiot would believe that?

  11878. I was wrong about Trump. I thought he was a con man, not a con artist. Tricking the stupid shouldn't be an art form. Now, I see that he's the Picasso of bullshit. He lies constantly, but he convinced the biggest skeptics, conspiracy theorists, that he's honest. Politicians have always said, "I'm an outsider", but he made folks think he was the first. He thinks proper spelling is "smock" and "boarder", but he got people to enroll at Trump University. He's played more suckers than PT Barnum. He's inspired xenophobia that would make Hitler jealous. He's charmed more followers than Jim Jones, and he has the personality of a rabid raccoon. He didn't just con the stupid. He's gotten Senators, CEOs, and otherwise smart people to back his dumb ideas. Now, he must take it up a notch and lead the flat earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince them the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe what you want to believe.

  11883. We're used to Trump's conspiracy bullshit. It's easy to say, "That's just Trump", but this shit is serious. Before his election, he said it would be rigged. We knew he was eccentric. We're somewhat forgiving of campaign rhetoric. But back then, we weren't sure of a few things: 1)- That he would become President. 2)- That he would only get more eccentric AS President. 3)- That Russia had interfered to the extent they did, to help HIM win, and about all of the lies, outreach to, and meetings with the Russians by members of his team. In hindsight, "Russia, if you're listening...", his refusal to criticize Putin, and his claims of a rigged election seem more suspicious, right? He actually said it was okay to cheat in his favor. (By the way, we'll never know how he - and his base - would have reacted if he'd lost. Remember, he wouldn't say he would concede if he did - And it's batshit nuts that even became an issue with a US Presidential candidate!) After he lost the popular vote, but won the election, he was STILL crying foul, and AS PRESIDENT, formed a commission to look into his absurd claim of 3 million illegal votes. Think that was nothing because they didn't find anything? NO. They tried to collect data on the voters. That wasn't for nothing. THIS IS SERIOUS. - Cut to 19 months later - We know his team was working to lift sanctions on Russia from day one. The Trump Tower meeting. Trump Tower Moscow. Sater. Flynn. Papadopoulos. Cohen. Page. Qatar... There is a Special Council looking into him in no small part BECAUSE HE ADMITTED HE FIRED AN FBI DIRECTOR OVER THE RUSSIA PROBE. Trump barely, reluctantly even admits Russia attacked our election! He hasn't done a fucking thing to stop them from meddling again! Now, he says the very Special Counsel in charge of finding out what happened - as it looks like Mueller is closing-in on the truth - IS GOING TO MEDDLE IN THE NEXT ELECTION!?!? TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY!!! This man has "joked" about being extended a third term. He has "joked" about it soon becoming a "one party system". He shows admiration for dictators. Putin doesn't run disinformation campaigns for no reason. He uses them to soften targets. If you don't believe that, ask the Ukrainians. Ask Paul Manafort - who happened to be Trump's campaign manager! Know who coined the term, "deep state"? Joseph Stalin...of the Soviet Union! You clueless "conservatards (yuk, yuk) need to get a clue. What kind of tribal, ignorant fuckwads are okay with an habitually lying clown? People who think life is a fucking reality show. Because he speaks his mind, that means he is HONEST? Because he was an "outsider", means EXPERIENCE doesn't matter? Because you are so keen to all of these "conspiracies", you can tell he is being straight with you? Because he said, "Drain the swamp", he can't be a swamp creature? Because he got out in front of what HE KNEW HE'D BE ACCUSED OF BY PROJECTING IT ON HIS OPPONENTS FIRST? Get my drift, here? He is claiming "rigged election" again. THINK. It's one thing to have conviction. It's another to base your conviction on seeing only what you want to. How about seeing his tax returns? How about trust, but verify, seeing as he has no government experience? You Trumpers are taking a foolish leap of faith.

  11884. "There's no evidence of collusion!" ....... "evidence - n. every type of proof legally presented at trial (allowed by the judge) which is intended to convince the judge and/or jury of alleged facts material to the case. It can include oral testimony of witnesses, including experts on technical matters, documents, public records, objects, photographs and depositions (testimony under oath taken before trial). It also includes so-called "circumstantial evidence" which is intended to create belief by showing surrounding circumstances which logically lead to a conclusion of fact" ..........

  11886. L G - That wasn't my point, but no, it isn't Trump's fault. And it isn't the fault of any one person or entity. Big cities usually contain at least part of two Congressional districts. Each state has two Senators and a governor. Each city has a mayor. Sometimes each position is held by a Democrat, sometimes a Republican, and urban blight and crime doesn't just appear or disappear every inauguration day. This should be so obvious it doesn't need to be explained. What IS Trump's fault is this idiotic narrative that Democratic leadership causes inner city problems. Is Trump rolling out some urban renewal plan? Infrastructure? Hell no. It's purely a bullshit, juvenile, political tactic. He threatens to TAKE AWAY funding from blue areas having problems. The whole thing about Baltimore slums only came about because Trump was mad that Cummings pointed out slum conditions in border detention centers.

  11891. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit foward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. Sater worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.

Modern Republicans have adopted a war footing that justifies doing WHATEVER THEY WANT. Democrats are simply not like that. I'm not saying they are apolitical saints. They are not. But they have a lot more sense of fairness and decency. Dems, and Republicans of 20 years ago, used to fear the bad optics of looking like cutthroat, soulless, "anything goes" politicians.

  11933. We have minority rule in representation, which created the tyranny of the majority in legislation. The former is a fact. The latter is obvious. It's the result of a decades-long, deliberate Republican strategy. Remember Trump "joking" about how it will soon become a one-party system? That's what he was referring to. It will only get easier for them. Trump has proven to the Republican lawmakers that they can tell their constituents what they want, and not the other way around. They have rid themselves of any sense of shame, decency, and willingness to compromise they may have had. Look at the House and Senate Russia probes. Look at the Supreme Court decisions that have come down since Trump took office. It's not just what side of the issues they're on. The Republican majority, even if held by one seat, dictates what information gets out. The sentiment is, "We're in charge. We do what we want. Screw you". We need re-districting reform. God help us all if the Republicans get a blank check to gerrymander after the next census.

  11935. So, Americans want a celebrity for President. They want political experience, but not a politician. They want someone smart, even-handed, and well-connected who will reach across the aisle. Republicans sure don't like speech that's too politically correct. They're more comfortable with a white male. Well, we've got a POTUS now who ran as the anti-Obama, so it would be poetic justice to elect somebody who beautifully stuck it to Trump in defense of Obama. So, Can somebody please talk Bill Maher into running? (For those who don't know, search Youtube for "Bill Maher Trump orangutan"). I'm sure it's there.

  11939. This is not complicated. Half of the country is liberal. Most liberals think Trump is racist. Therefore, about half the country would think he is racist. Why the hell is that so hard to believe? Oh, yeah, because you idiots have this preconceived, unfounded notion that CNN is always lying to you. Well, it isn't even a CNN poll. It is Quinnipiac, an INDEPENDENT polling organization. But, let me guess, they're in cahoots with the liberal deep state, too, right?

  11942. You people don't understand what went on with the DNC. They were broke. They were in no position to properly support anyone. Clinton bailed them out, and rightfully so, wanted some control over how they ran things. The agreement was that her control would be limited in the PRIMARY, not the general election, because obviously she might be able to bias the DNC towards herself and disadvantage Sanders. She saved the DNC, giving WHOEVER had won the primary - Sanders or herself - the normal, fighting chance to win the general election. If she hadn't bailed them out, Sanders probably would have lost against Trump. Any rigging that was done in the PRIMARY is in the details of scheduling debates and funding (with Clinton's own money) during the primary. Clinton may have crossed some lines there. Those details have not even been reported by FOX News, and you "See, Clinton, not Trump rigged the election!" parrots are absurd. It's not a binary thing. What Clinton did within her party was not illegal and has NOTHING to do with Trump rigging the ACTUAL GENERAL ELECTION with Russia, which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL. Trump saying the Justice Department has ANY right to investigate is absurd. A party can do whatever it wants. The DNC could've named Pit Bull as its candidate. The RNC had every right to sell the nomination to Ted Nugent if they wanted. I really doubt any of you "What about Hillary!" idiots even care about the details or the truth. You hear Donna Brazile said "rigged", and you get a hard-on. NOTHING the Democrats may have done even starts to remotely compare to a general election campaign colluding left and right with the Russians to run a huge disinformation campaign against his own country.

  11945. Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  11950.  @JohnB3363  - The Republicans literally said they couldn't impeach Trump before he left office, then said it was too late after he left! Trump wanted to send Joe Biden, a prominent American, former Senator and VP, to Ukraine - a country he acknowledged has a crooked legal system - to face manufactured charges. He ran a campaign based on locking up another political rival, a prominent former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. Trump wanted to send an Ambassador to Russia from the Obama Administration to Russia so Putin could jail, and most likely torture him. I hope Trump gets the book thrown at him.

  11951.  @JohnB3363  - There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, charity fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He broke the emoluments clause. He meddled with local election board members. He incited a riot at the Capitol. The Mueller Report details ten instances of Obstruction of Justice. He colluded with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. If he doesn't pay a price, it's like excusing the behavior.

  11952.  @JohnB3363  - When you spend a campaign openly buddying-up to a foreign adversary, asking them for dirt on your opponent, 16 of your people lie about their activities, and you fire the FBI Director over it, you get investigated. Would you have been okay with it if Biden, Clinton or Obama had done that or would you want an investigation?
    1
  11953.  @JohnB3363  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  11961.  @JohnB3363  - So, you can arbitrarily decide when they can pass the buck? Trump had 3 years, and he was briefed about the stockpiles and the potential for a pandemic.

Trump, who has a history of protecting his crooked cabinet and staff..? SMH.

  11966. Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  11969. There was plenty of probable cause for the FBI counterintelligence probe into Russian interference. It was their DUTY. There was probable cause for the FISA warrant on Carter Page, and for the Mueller probe. There was nothing illegal about Dems hiring the oppo research firm, Fusion GPS, a firm first hired by the Republicans. There was no quid pro quo between the author of the dossier and the Russian government. Trump calls these "witch hunts" as he does nothing but engages in witch hunts himself.

  11970. Jason Adams - Why don't you actually look into it before you say things that are factually untrue. I'm telling you, House Dems have started an impeachment inquiry and are going to court to compel testimony and get documents. That's a fact. Mueller CLEARLY stated that Trump could be charged when he leaves office. He CLEARLY found 10 instances of possible obstruction and specifically said Trump is NOT exonerated. He CLEARLY said he couldn't charge a sitting president and that charges could be brought by another body, ie, Congress or another district.

  11979. It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

Companies have NOT been coming back to the US or finding alternate suppliers. Fact. TPP was meant to encourage just that, but Trump squashed that.

  11996. Donald Trump wrote a $25,000 CHECK from his former charity's account to Florida AG, Pam Bondi, to squash a lawsuit over his sham "university." (He was successfully sued in another state over Trump U, and his charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality.") He ostensibly paid a bribe with a CHECK from a CHARITY. He's not careful. The people in his circle aren't careful. Look at Giuliani. "Hey, everybody, I'm off to Ukraine now to get dirt on Donald's opponent from a foreign government AGAIN." Trump paid off two women to keep quiet about his marital affairs with checks. (The story had already come out years before, too). He directed his lawyer to set up a sham LLC in order to make the payments, committing bank, tax, and FEC fraud in the process. He couldn't use cash? Jewelry? I'd bet he left paper trails all over the place. He's screwed.

  12006. Tony Jaegar - Trump is an habitual liar, a narcissist, a xenophobe, a racist, a misogynist, an elitist, and has no respect for anyone. He only serves his base, and only the rich in his base. He coddles dictators and alienates our allies. He is a danger to national security. He de-regulates with no regard for public health. He denies climate change. He pushes outlandish conspiracy theories. He has the most crooked cabinet and staff in history. He engages in chronyism and nepotism. He is a charity and tax cheat. He refuses to learn anything because he thinks he was born wise. He's too inarticulate, or just too plain lazy to speak properly. He doesn't plan or prepare for anything. He is a traitor, a wimp, a gaslighter, a demagogue, and a sycophant. And he is as dumb as a pile of dog shit.

  12007. Cudaman2 Formula - Trickle-down economics works for the rich, not the middle class the Republicans say it will help. None of those tax cuts REQUIRE its beneficiaries to create jobs. Corporations spend those windfalls on themselves, automated machines, and donations to politicians who will give them more tax cuts. Unemployment is low now, but that's a trend that started during the Obama years, and cannot be attributed to tax cuts or de-regulation. The wealth gap is widening under Trump.

Trump fired him by tweet, without even talking to him. There has been NO evidence of fraud ANYWHERE. A normal President would be GLAD that his agency found the election to be secure, and THANK them for their work. Imagine if Obama had lost in 2012 and done this. Trump supporters would be enraged, and THEY KNOW IT. This has gone beyond ridiculous. This is a direct assault on democracy. Are we supposed to go through this just so Trump can throw a temper tantrum?? It's OVER. Biden WON. Period.

Over a dozen Russians tied to Trump - indicted. Trump Foundation - under investigation, Trump and 3 kids named in lawsuit. Don McGahn, Hope Hicks, Roger Stone, and a dozen or so more Trump associates - giving statements to Mueller... Oh yeah, this will end great for Trump.

  12025. Technically, lying to the public violates Trump's oath of office. Obviously, all politicians lie, but he is pathological. He has told over 12,000 lies in less than three years.

If you don't have symptoms, take precautions. If you do, self-quarantine and prepare to seek medical help if necessary. Finding out where and how many cases there are should come from sampling the population. Contact tracing is useless when there's already community spread. Does it matter whether you caught it at Wal-Mart or at a restaurant? It's everywhere.

  12032. There is a proper time to request the kind of information these Trump protectors want - AFTER THE INVESTIGATION.

Gotta do a little better than that, morons.

  12033. Clark Kent - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

Don't you feel stupid for being such an obvious hypocrite?? Do I think Biden would have handled it better? Better than supporting taking ZERO measures to stop it except for canceling some flights from China after it had already gotten here, LYING about it, and using it as a political football?? You bet your ass he absolutely would have! Biden doesn't know where he is? You KNOW that's total BS, and that is OBVIOUS. You people sound stupid as hell saying that after supporting a guy who couldn't ever finish a sentence, stay on subject, show ANY knowledge of any subject or any interest in learning anything, and has a vocabulary of about 15 words. "Media bias! Media bias!" YOU are the one who is biased. Did you complain when Trump COORDINATED with FOX News, who has as much viewership as all of the "liberal" networks combined? Did you? Of course not. Cut the crap.

  12037.  @ampamp999  Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

  12043. Douglas Mayfield - Because he admitted the action, to which there was an abundance of evidence. He used two contradictory defenses - That he did it, but it was justified, AND that he didn't do it at all. You can get away with that when your party refuses to hold a fair trial.

  12044.  @Feynvel  What on Earth are you talking about? An article? A news outlet? All of them! Did you watch the trial? He argued 1- that there was a quid pro quo, but that it was justified as some corruption fighting effort, and 2- that there was no quid pro quo. Furthermore, he argued that it was his duty to investigate Biden, who might become president, but that Obama did it to him (false), and that was "treason".

  12045.  @andreaskarlsson5251  That's the Republican mantra, "No evidence!" no matter how much is right in front them. Of course, when it comes to investigating Dems, baseless suspicion is slam-dunk evidence, and anything a Dem does is treason punishable by death. You'd think they would have heard that old saying about living in glass houses and throwing stones.
    1
  12046.  @Feynvel  Now, you are putting up two defenses. 1- That the aid was not conditional, and 2- Even if it was, it was his legal obligation. Trump argued two contradictory defenses - That there was a conditional quid pro quo, and there wasn't. Mulvaney said there were conditions. So did Sondland and 17 witnesses. The evidence shows clearly that the aid and the White House visit were conditioned on Zelinsky ANNOUNCING, not actually doing the investigations, and Zelinsky did NOT say it wasn't conditional. He didn't even say there was no pressure. He said there SHOULDN'T be pressure. It is NOT the job of the president to vet rival candidates. TRUMP COMPLAINED FOR 3 YEARS THAT OBAMA DID EXACTLY THAT! Common sense says this was political. The servers in Ukraine?! Really?! That, by the way, was put out there by Russian intelligence, because if the Russians didn't attach our elections, then we'd have to lift sanctions. If you don't know that server crap is bs, then you are the dumbest fool on the planet. And of all the corruption in Ukraine, he JUST HAPPENS to go after Joe Biden's son? For something that happened years ago? And removed an ambassador whose job it was to vet out corruption in Ukraine? That had already been investigated? Give me a break! It's no wonder the Republicans didn't want witnesses. This was asking for foreign election interference. It's highly illegal, and if Clinton or Obama had done that, Republicans would demand their heads on pikes, and you KNOW IT.

  12057. Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016. (Though not charged with the crime of conspiracy, he did collude with them. He asked for their help, and his top aides met with them in New York to trade dirt for sanction relief). He asked Ukraine and China to interfere in the 2020 election. He withheld aid to Ukraine to extort them for probes of the Bidens and a nonsense conspiracy theory about hacked DNC servers. He directed his personal lawyer to commit felonies. He broke the emoluments clause. He obstructed justice many times before and during the Mueller and Ukraine investigations. He dangled pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. He altered an official weather chart. He intimidated witnesses.

  12063. The Uranium One deal was a sale of SHARES, of a CANADIAN company, who can 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 agencies. They ALL approved the deal, and only the President could veto it. The allegations make no sense.

  12064. Robby D - Clinton worked for the State Department. It was her job to sign off on deals like that. Did Chelsae Clinton, John Podesta, and Huma Abeden have a meeting with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained dirt on Trump for sanction relief? Oh, yeah, no, because Putin hated her and wanted to help her opponent.
    1
  12065. Don Hardcastle Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. But the Russia probe was a hoax? When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the 2016 campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, WHY WOULD THEY? That was an acknowledgment that there is NO REASON for candidates to be messing around with foreigners in an election. The Republican led Senate Intelligence Committee concluded there was collusion. Mueller found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which is simply cooperation. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump is a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring.

  12066. Trump has GOT TO GO, and his whole damn cult of followers need to be psychologically de-programmed. Watching the news, I feel like I'm in the fucking Twilight Zone. 1)- FOX News is saying "CNN lied" because Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, ON CNN, walked-back a previous statement about what Cohen knows about the Trump Tower meeting. It's a walk back, but let's call it a lie for arguments sake, because that doesn't matter. He lied ON CNN. CNN didn't lie. Someone went ON the news and lied. People go on the news and lie all the time. End of story. Since when the fuck did we start blaming news outlets for that? (By the way, it's very possible that it IS true, Lanny Davis said too much, and he's backing off because he is screwing up his client's chances for a plea deal with Mueller. Personally, I don't give a damn. It's completely beside the point). 2)- Trump tweeted, AFTER 15 MONTHS, that "Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia" in the infamous interview where he said he was thinking of the Trump/"Rusher" thing when he fired James Comey. Why he fired Comey, and if it was obstruction, is completely irrelevant here. TRUMP NOW SAYS THAT THE REPORT IS LITERALLY FAKED, and that we can't believe what we heard come right out of his mouth - OVER A YEAR AGO! Lester Holt got CAUGHT? By who? How? When? The video is not altered, and Holt was never "caught" altering it! I can't believe I feel compelled to ask the rhetorical question here - If that ever happened to anyone, who the fuck would wait 15 months to say it?? By the way, video production is someone else's job. I also feel compelled to point out that he's done this before. Long after he ADMITTED to saying, "Grab 'em by the pussy" in the Access Hollywood tape, he was telling people - Senators - that he thought THAT tape was fake! And I think he said, "maybe" it was fake. MAYBE? As if someone wouldn't be SURE if that happened?? 3)- Trump is saying Google is making their search results biased against him and suggesting liberal news sites. He wants an investigation! Holy shit, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. It doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. The purpose of a search engine is to figure out what people are looking for. Google's algorithms learn by many users TELLING IT what they are trying to find, not the other way around. It goes by popular trends and the user's search history, so if you think every major news site other than FOX News is "liberal", you're more likely to get a "liberal" site BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Who searches "Trump news" anyway? You don't know what you're going to get. Find a site you trust, and go directly to it. Trump has no evidence to back up his claim. NONE. An investigation? Simple. Google responded by denying it. So all that's left is to call a tech guy to confirm it. He should have done that FIRST before making the accusation. Duh! And why the hell does he think Google would be out to get him? He's such a narcissist that he can't understand that he isn't the focus of everybody and every companies' attention 24/7.How many people, companies, and agencies does Trump have to say are out to get him before his followers realize he is a paranoid narcissist? HE LITERALLY SAYS THE CIA IS OUT TO GET HIM. THAT'S WHAT PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS SAY! How many people does he have to say is lying about him before his followers think, "Maybe HE is the one who is lying". He is CLEARLY scared shitless about being charged with Obstruction of Justice. How much more like a guilty person does he have to act before they think, "Just maybe he is guilty". He calls the free press the ENEMY of the people! The President of the United States! These Trump cultists need to WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

  12073. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico? Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

You simply don't like the recommendation, so just like Trump and his following always do, you cry bias. YOU are biased, and you are a fucking idiot.

  12082.  @Alamyst2011  Yes, it's laughable, and you said it. Yes, prosecutors recommend sentencing. The DOJ is not a political agency. Your Dear Leader, Trump, constantly cries bias if anyone involved in anything he doesn't like personally votes Democrat. O... kay, so if they vote Republican, that means they're biased, too, huh? Hell, he cries political bias about REPUBLICANS like Mueller and Comey! All four of those prosecutors resigned, in an unprecedented move, over what Barr did, because it's a gross abuse of power. Your Dear Leader, who you people insist we should shut up and accept as our president, lied his ass off over this whole thing. No, we will never accept an habitually lying crook as our president, especially when he considers everyone who doesn't support him an ENEMY. He cannot win in November without cheating. That's by the numbers. He was supposed to be the President of the WHOLE COUNTRY, not just 45%. He is the only POTUS ever to be so blatantly one sided. That will cost him the election, and if hd gets caught cheating, it might cost him his freedom and wealth. Wake up. He is an inept, lying crook with a personality disorder.

  12083.  @Alamyst2011  Apparently, you are immune to the FACT that Mueller is a registered Republican. There is not a single fact I have presented that you can disprove. Rage? No. Anger? You bet. Over half this country is angry as hell about this president being a divisive, habitually lying crook. It's just a shame that almost half of this country refuses to see what's right in front of them.

  12087. Democrats should run on healthcare, education and marijuana. - Healthcare is a kitchen table issue that needs working out. Republicans have offered NOTHING except to try to destroy Obamacare. No replace. Just repeal. And don't think for a moment that Trump wants to save pre-existing condition protections. (Can we use initials for that? Maybe PECPs? People leave out the word, "protections", and say "I'll KEEP pre-existing conditions", because it's a mouthful. Without the word, "protections", they're being vague or even saying the opposite. - Education is a Democratic issue. Trump reflects a failure in the public education system. It's the Republicans who call teachers unions "terrorist organizations". It's the Republican Betsy DeVos who is screwing public educators further for the profit of private, and faith-based private school administrators. - The numbers don't lie. It's time. One party better claim the legalization platform before the other does. Marijuana legalization is DIRECTLY tied to problems in the prison system. Dems should take those bragging rights back from Trump/Kushner's so-called prison reform initiatives, which left much of the problem unaddressed.

Recounts never vary from the original count by more than a few hundred.

  12104. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  12108. It's best if we give Ukraine every bit of support we can - but draw the line at US troop combat in Europe. If Putin crosses the line with NATO, maybe, but if any foreign nations' soldiers have to fight the Russian military directly, they should be European. Funny how proxy war goes. It's full of self-contradictions and nonsense. The fact remains that US troops fighting over there directly would create a lot more possibility for some really bad shit to happen. Plus, public opinion in the US would not overwhelming favor it - especially after things go bad. Then, majority public opinion would be "Why did we get involved again in a war between two bordering countries across the ocean?"

  12127. To Democratic candidates: The country is sharply divided 60/40. You have that 60%. You aren't going to lose any of us. Put that 60% aside. Of the remaining 40%, half is firmly Trumpian. It's also, more or less, the 20% of the population as a whole that is misinformed, batshit crazy, conspiracy-minded, and uninterested in the truth. They hear what they want to. They're hopelessly stuck on Trump. Put them aside, too. That leaves the other 20%. That group contains the 2016 Obama to Trump voters. They voted for Trump because they felt neglected and frustrated by the government, whether that was justified or not. They are on the smarter, saner end of the Trumpland spectrum. They're not the sharpest pencils in the box. They've been misinformed by Trump and right-wing media. They don't know much about government, and frankly, who can really blame them for not wanting to keep up with the circus that is politics? Democrats - those people, that 20%, should be your target! Yes, rally your base, but that alone won't do it. When you rally your side, you also rally theirs. Give that 20% the attention they want. I'm NOT saying pander to them insincerely, and definitely don't agree with them and the ideas that their lying, narcissistic, fear-mongering president has planted in their heads. But try to inform them and explain in simple terms why they should leave the cult of Trump without rattling-off talking points like a robotic, liberal Mike Pence. Run on a message, (I suggest education), AND ALSO be anti-Trump. Democrats can get a lot more votes from the other side than Republicans can. And, by the way, the reason we have minority rule in the first place is Republican gerrymandering. Republican Representation in Congress is grossly disproportionate to the population, so folks shouldn't believe Trump's bullshit about the system being skewed to the Democrats.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

They throw you a bone, and while you're gnawing the scraps, the rich use the windfall to buy new toys and lobby for more tax cuts. - "I'm an outsider. I'm not beholden to special interests". Yeah. Not yet. - "It's about national security. We have to do this NOW". What a convenient way to get around scrutiny and play on peoples' fears. - "I'm a regular guy, so I understand you". Do you want your surgeon to be a regular joe? Your airline pilot? Your lawyer? You choose those with expertise in the field. - "It's not my fault. It's those 'others' among you. I'll help you deal with them". See Hitler, the war on drugs, maniacal cult leaders, and civil wars throughout history. Trump followers, does any of this ring a bell?

  12145. The GOP is the NRA's bitch. The NRA isn't even very wealthy, especially not lately. But the Republicans don't ever want to lose the gun issue to use as a scare tactic, so they've formed a symbiotic relationship with the NRA to amplify the fallacy that Democrats want to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

  12152. Often, the problem is that police are trained to shoot INDISCRIMINATELY, regardless of COMMON SENSE. Often, impatient, irritated cops escalate, then start, and don't STOP shooting. - During a simple traffic stop on a busy street in broad daylight, a man riding with his girl and a baby told a cop he had a gun and a permit, and got blown away. - In the absurd "war on drugs", a woman was killed in her bed because her ex-boyfriend was a drug suspect who wasn't there. Cops falsified the warrant. One cop shot repeatedly, target unseen, from outside of the apartment. - A cop said she mistook a man's apartment for her own, and killed a man who was alone eating ice cream in his living room. - A mentally ill man was killed by cops, shot four times in front of his house and his mother - who called them - because he ignored commands to drop a screwdriver. The cop was a safe distance away. The man didn't threaten anyone. The cop continued commands to drop the tool as he lay dying, then cuffed him. - Cops tazed a girl who tried to run in handcuffs. Her head hit the pavement, and she suffered permanent brain damage. - One cop shot a handcuffed, old man 12 times because he reached for a knife. The cop was charged with murder, but was acquitted, as he was trained to "shoot at the body mass until the threat is gone". But I guess BLM shouldn't protest because thugs might hijack the rally and start rioting. And if you're a conservative, you've got to ignore systemic racism by police or you're a bad conservative, huh? Yet, members of the party claimed by the Klan and the Neo-Nazis complain about about being labeled as racists. It might help if decent conservatives would make a better effort to denounce bigots and bad cops.

  12153.  @Christian-di8zu  - You're going to need more firepower than an AR. Do you think the 2nd Amendment means we should be able to carry grenades? It isn't necessarily about taking up arms against the government. It's about being able to take up arms for your country - as in the "well-regulated militia" that the Constitution literally mentions. The militia IS the military. That was what we now call the Army and the National Guard. So where does the 2nd Amendment say you have the right to own and carry one for self-defense? I believe we should be able to, but that's not what the 2nd Amendment says.

  12163. Steve Austin Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  12166. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has a ?? (I always forget that word) Not an anagram. Not an abbreviation... what's the word? Anyway, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.

  12173. 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.

Actually, McCain was not a Never Trumper, but I'm sure he would have joined them if he was alive today. Funny how most of you MAGA nuts didn't start hating him until Trump came aling and told you to. He obviously kept getting re-elected to the Senate and became a Republican presidential nominee. Trashing McCain is not going to ever justify what Trump has said about the military that helped to make his cushy, rich lifestyle even possible.

So, it's absurd to complain about media and deceit to defend him.

  12185. 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.

You know, the Trump Tower meeting where he, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to work out a QUID PRO QUO to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief (The Magnitsky Act). And no, Trump followers, the dossier was not collusion. No government contact. No quid pro quo. If I were you all, I'd stop using that argument. Allow me to point out what should be obvious - If what Clinton did was collusion, then so was what Trump did. Ever think of that?

Trump kept denying there was even a problem, but at the same time said that he saved millions of lives by doing nothing more than stopping a few flights from China. He praised the Chinese for their initial handling of it, then started blaming them when he could no longer deny the problem.

They didn't even have a say in coming here! ----- And Trump tells the Iranians "Even though you haven't violated the terms, I say you broke the "spirit" of the agreement"! WTF?? Well, I say we can't prove Trump is a bonifide racist, but he sure broke the "spirit" of inclusion. And his son and staffers sure as hell broke the "spirit" of patriotism by working with the Russians to get elected if he didn't, technically, commit conspiracy.

  12237. 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.

  12238. 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!

  12241. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  12242. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  12243. Remember that Trump had NO PROBLEM trying to get Hillary locked up and Biden sent to Ukraine to face "justice" in a country that Trump himself said was corrupt. He had no problem with the Central Park Five being wrongly imprisoned after writing his op-ed about how they were guilty.

This is ridiculous. You don't have to agree that Trump is a POS, but don't act lime he's wonderful, because it is OBVIOUS that he isn't. I'll give you just ONE out of hundreds of reasons - HE LIES HIS ASS OFF CONSTANTLY. That is not "fake news". You cannot dismiss it by saying, "They all lie," because he lies waaay more. Stop pretending.

  12248. Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

  12253. Big cities usually contain at least part of two Congressional districts, and each has a mayor. Each state has two Senators and a governor. Sometimes those positions are held by a Democrat, sometimes a Republican. Urban blight and crime doesn't just appear or disappear every inauguration day. This should be so obvious it doesn't need to be explained. Trump is pushing this idiotic narrative that Democratic leadership causes inner city problems. Is he rolling out some urban renewal plan? Infrastructure? No. It's a bullshit, juvenile, political tactic. He threatens to TAKE AWAY funding from blue areas having problems. The whole thing about Baltimore slums only came about because Trump was mad that Cummings pointed out slum conditions in border detention centers. Anyone who falls for that narrative will fall for anything he pulls out of his ass.

  12254. Rodney Williams - Report me as a mass shooter? Fuck you, fucking imbecile. You're pathetic.

  12255. I HOPE THIS NAME DOESN'T OFFEND THE LIBERALS - First of all, anyone who creates an account with that name is a hypocrite if they ever bitch about preconceived, tribal bias. And it shows how pathetic and immature you are. There is no equivalency. There was the El Paso shooter, the MAGA bomber, Charlottesville, the "pizzagate" shooter, and the Coast Guard nationalist. A man who was stockpiling weapons was arrested for threats to a newspaper, calling them "enemy of the people". The KKK, the Neo-Nazis, and skinheads are all right-wingers. Hate crimes by the right have sharply risen since Trump took office. 78% of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by white supremacists. Antifa is a left-wing group that uses violence, but BLM is not. Both sides have fringe elements, but it's ABSURD for right-wingers to argue that it comes from the left, when clearly, there is more of it coming from the right.
    1
  12256. "The Dayton shooter was a leftist who supported Elizabeth Warren. Why aren't the media reporting that?" 1)- They ARE reporting that. 2)- Warren hasn't incited violence with her rhetoric for the past three years. Despite objections and warnings from the left, and even from the FBI, Trump HAS been regularly spewing inciting rhetoric. The El Paso shooter echoed his language, and was clearly politically motivated. 3)- The SUBJECT of reports about the El Paso shooting is the El Paso shooting, not the murder rate in blue cities, the ratio of left to right wing shootings, or how to lower your cholesterol with boiled cat vomit. 4)- 78% of politically motivated mass shootings are perpetrated by right wing extremists. It's absurd to try to create an equivalency. 5)- Trump is taking fire, (no pun intended), not only because of his rhetoric, but because he is a REPUBLICAN. Right wing extremism is sharply on the rise since he took office. The GOP is notoriously in bed with the NRA. There's over 90% support for stricter gun control, (NOT confiscation). It's to be expected that Republicans will be criticized when there is yet another mass shooting.

WHEN and HOW did he acquire those documents?

  12269. kellerr13 - What the hell are you talking about? IP address?

Do you realize how many Russian officials have been indicted?

  12271. Nitro Express - Don Jr admitted he had a meeting with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for sanction relief. Then, his father said that meeting was okay, and committed obstruction by crafting an excuse for his son. Not a good one, either. The Russian lawyer's "adoption" agenda is was about the Magnitsky Act - A sanction the US had placed on Russia. Roger Stone bragged about being in touch with the Russian hackers who hacked the DNC. Both Kushner and Flynn were having secret meetings with the Russians to set up back channels and provide sanction relief to them. It goes on and on. But stay in denial.

  12273. Except this actually works politically for Republicans. The Biden probes are obviously a fishing expedition, and this crap needs to stop. If it were Trump and his son, he'd immediately pardon the son and call for a probe into the initial investigation. But if Joe Biden - after staying out of it - pardoned his son to defend against an actual "witch hunt", after his son was ready to plead guilty no less - it would cost him reelection. This is the new Benghazi. It's pure BS, but it works because we have too many stupid registered voters in this country.

  12275. So, let me get this straight. It's summer, 2016. Clinton and Trump win their primaries. Clinton is heavily favored to win the general election. So, she goes to the head of the CIA and says, "I need you to start fabricating intelligence documents and intercepts so that, in case I lose, we can stick it to Trump". James Clapper says, "Sure. Why not". Then, Clinton and Clapper go to the FBI, the DNI, DHS, The White House, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and about a dozen other intelligence services and ask them to do the same - fabricate evidence, documents, intercepts, etc., and they all say, "Sure". They go to Facebook and Twitter, and have them cook their books to make it look like Russians paid for ads. Hundreds, if not thousands of people get in on this conspiracy, and they're all cool about it. Nobody informs. Nobody gets caught.

They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS.

I don't think you're saying that right. There is no evidence of election fraud in 2020. WHO? Did WHAT to steal the election? Do you realize that there haven't even been any plausible theories about how it was somehow stolen! It's crap like "there was a suitcase full of ballots in one polling location. That's proof!" Well, that would imply a MASSIVE identity theft, hacking, and counterfeiting operation that would have to be bankrolled and involve MANY people in MANY places. Do you people ever think about things like that, Einstein? These "plots" never make any sense whatsoever.

That's ANY crime, and you can't impeach for jaywalking. What if a President decided to stop working and sit around all day watching TV? It's not a crime, but obviously, you'd have to oust that President. I think, maybe, the framers meant, by "misdemeanor", things not necessarily crimes, but unacceptable for an elected official.

  12296. Ape Tsunami - You're blaming the current administration for what Russia is doing??? Maybe it had something to do with the last President doing this: - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia was targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

He didn't have to hand out water bottles in the cold, but it's his job to work full time on this, not when he could find time during his vacation where it was warm and dry. Even Cruz knows he screwed up, as his response to this shows.

  12313. Rick Halverson - Trump has set this tone. He has insulted the same man ("I like people who don't get captured"). It's his administration. What kind of environment has he created where a staffer felt like it was appropriate to make such a remark?

  12314. This was about McCain's refusal to back Haspel over the issue of torture. McCain was tortured. They can't accept that his was one vote they just wouldn't get? And Trump has a lot of nerve to expect loyalty from all Republicans on all issues especially when he is an inexperienced newcomer, some would say invader of the party, who criticizes the hell out of its own members constantly. Trump doesn't want to learn anything because he thinks he is already preordained with wisdom - and he doesn't like to read and has the attention span of a kid with ADD.

  12318. On the first seven minutes of the news, it's like they're telling us not to leave the house. Then, it's a barrage of ads telling us to "get back out there!" Then, back to the news. Well, consider the sources. The PRODUCTS the news is selling are facts. They COMPETE with other networks to sell us the most accurate facts the fastest. Advertisers serve companies who COMPETE with others in their business. Most companies aren't set up for home delivery, so they need you to "get back out there!" It's why Amazon is thriving, restaurants and bars are barely surviving, and we get mixed messages. No wonder the most consumer-driven country in the world is handling the pandemic so poorly.

  12320. A little exercise to test your own bias: Think of every time you've defended Donald Trump and every issue on which you've criticized his opposition - Russia, COVID 19, media coverage, false statements, foreign affairs...If you search Google or Youtube, what do you type into the box? Now, on those same issues, replace his face with that of Obama or Hillary Clinton. Replace that R with a D. Do you find yourself rationalizing? I am confident that on 99% of those issues, you would take the OPPOSITE position. If you doubt me, just wait. When a Democrat is in the White House again, you'll find yourself being hyper-critical of that Democrat for issues on which you previously excused Trump, or you'll be saying "what about?" about the "what about?" I guarantee it.

  12324. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  12326.  @scottdavislasvegas  The difference here is that there was reasonable suspicion to investigate Trump's Russia ties. There is no reasonable suspicion about voter fraud - except on Trump's part. Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to get illegally obtained dirt on his opponent. 16 of his associates lied about 140 denied Russian contacts. Roger Stone reached out to Wikileaks. Papadopoulos suggested asking the Russians for help. The Democrats didn't make them all do all of those things at gunpoint.

It's these FOX News viewing, Trump worshipping hypocrites that are ridiculous. These FOX News comment boards are FULL of people accusing liberals of lumping them all into one category - as they lump us all into one category. I am a firm believer, however, that if the FBI and CIA had NOT done its counterintelligence probe on the Russians - which is exactly what it was, and not a political targeting of Trump - then Trump and his followers would have been crying, "Obama and the FBI did NOTHING to stop Russia, who attacked our sacred election!" Oh yeah, they DO say that! When you listen to the Russians and hear TRUMP AND HIS PEOPLE ON TBE ITHER END OF THE LINE, you do something about it. 16 of them lied. That's a fact. They met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for sanction relief. Fact. Trump SAYS THE SAME THING IS OKAY WHEN HE DOES IT! That's an uncontested fact.

  12341. Pete C - So? What does it matter how much they spent on the ads? They're simply no expensive, and that was only one facet of their attack on our election. By the way, they're still doing it, and Trump refusesto even acknowledge that.

  12357. The argument is basically that if anyone they don't like has ever committed a crime, it's okay for them to, and if you try to investigate, then THAT is a crime. So, every unsuccessful prosecution makes the prosecutor a criminal. Even being part of an investigation that doesn't result in a charge and successful prosecution makes them victims of a travesty. Even when it's not up for debate that they're guilty. Trump illegally took the records. He's guilty of that. Period.

  12376. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

    1
  12379. Don Williams - First, the FBI told them to smash the cell phones. Clinton says she deleted her PERSONAL emails, and nobody offered any proof that they weren't personal. The thing about email is that there are always at least two copies. Someone is always on the other end, yet the investigation found nothing.(Not to mention Kushner and other White House staffers did the SAME THING after complaining about Clinton endlessly. They deleted what they said were personal after they got caught using private accounts to conduct business from the White House). But that's neither here nor there because THAT WAS A DIFFERENT MATTER. I know you people like to mangle it all together, but the email scandal is not the Russia scandal. Second, there is good reason to not give the FBI access to the servers. The DNC emails were those of everyone at the DNC. I'm sure some or all of them didn't want their communications falling into the wrong hands. There were two agents at the FBI pushing that "Clinton Cash" nonsense. That's right - Agents using the FBI to play politics AGAINST Clinton. (Also, Comey announced a reopening of the email probe over what were obviously going to be - and were - duplicates, and did not announce they were investigating the Trump camp's ties to Russia). Whatever the reason, how on earth does that prove anything? What are you even alleging? The DNC leaked THEIR OWN EMAILS? The firm they hired, Crowdstrike, concluded it was Russia, and so did the DHS, FBI, CIA...did you even read my post..? Not to mention, Guccifer 2.0 - aka Russian intelligence - claimed responsibility for the hacks. Now, can you explain how Clinton got all of those agencies - some foreign - and all of those companies to agree to what would would be the biggest conspiracy in world history - just to make Trump look bad in case she lost? Of course you can't.

  12380. "Collusion is not a crime" Conspiracy is, though. And funny how you Trump defenders see nothing morally wrong with it. If it was Clinton, you'd be calling for her head.

  12381. Mike Pence, when asked if the Trump campaign had any contacts with the Russians, said, "Of course not, WHY WOULD THERE BE?" That is very noteworthy, because they want us to believe all of those meetings (which 9 of them lied about) were all normal for a campaign. They are not. Trump owes us an explanation...Trump still maintains he doesn't think the Russians even meddled. BUT HIS OWN SON MET WITH THEM TO GET DIRT ON CLINTON! They reached out to Don Jr, and Don Jr, George Papadopoulos, Peter Smith, and Roger Stone ADMITTED to reaching out to the Russians! "Bottom line, there was no collusion", as Trump says, does not cut it. At the very least, there was attempted collusion from BOTH SIDES. They must be made to explain! And these idiots Trump followers say the press and the Dems are too HARD on him?? They've been too easy!

  12384. - The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 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?" With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to giving military aid to Ukeaine. 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. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort and candidate Trump publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 6 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 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 involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was running for president. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - 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 infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - 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 to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform the public of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them.

DETECTIVES DON'T CALL DEFENSE WITNESSES. TRIAL LAWYERS DO, AND PROSECUTORS ARE NIT LIMITED TO WITNESSES THE DETECTIVES INTERVIEWED. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

  12392. Life In The Faith Lane - Does that even start to compare with Trump? Not even close. All presidents get frustrated with the news media. Trump uses the STALIN-COINED PHRASE, "enemy of the people" on a daily basis! He coordinates feedback loops with Hannity. You people are ridiculous with your whatabouts! Ever actually LISTEN to FOX News? The facts, not the attitude. If you did, you'd notice it is completely devoid of substance. And chanting "fake news" in defense of a major habitual liar like Trump, who actually plants fake news stories and actually bought fake polls, is absurd!

And he needs to drop that "mandatory buy-back" crap. That's confiscation. Does he just WANT to lose to Republicans who will say Dems are coming for their guns? His cursing is nothing but a gimmick. He's trying to out- Trump Trump. You can't do that, and nobody should want to. This next election is the Democrat's to lose, and I'm afraid they just might fuck themselves up like always.

  12398. Trump is blaming the media and video games for these shootings. He's trying to use tragedy to pass immigration reform. Talk about politicizing. The media reporting on hate isn't hateful. Reporting on racism isn't racist. Trumpers cry bias, but only the biased say such absurd things. They should check their own hypocrisy. Trump has some nerve to cry "fake news" while he spreads it himself and lies on an habitual level. He's got some nerve to try to attach immigration laws to potential legislation inspired by a shooter who targeted immigrants. When Dems object to provisions about immigration, he wants to point to it and say, "See, they don't really want gun control".

  12400. America is 64% vaccinated with at least one dose. That's as good as it's gonna get. Most who've had one dose will get the second. Most of the other 36% won't even get the first. It's no coincidence that 36% is also the steady MAGA percentage. COVID was so politicized, I'd bet a dime to a bottle of worm spit that most who refuse the vaccine are MAGA folk. I predict COVID won't go away entirely. The MAGA crowd will keep it around enough to mutate into more stubborn strains. It won't be as bad, but bad enough to cause a large number of cases, still much worse than the flu, into the winter. Data will show most of those infected will be MAGA morons. There may be surges in some areas where the CDC will recommend wearing masks again. I'm vaccinated, but I wouldn't mind wearing one again, only to hide my laughter at the fools. We can't segregate into blue and red states or create Magastan, wall it off, (unlike Mexico, I'd gladly help pay for it), and let their fantasy utopia fail without them being able to blame liberals. But COVID is one area where we'll be separate. It won't affect us as long as they don't raise health insurance premiums on those who got vaccinated. (Hey MAGAtards, you have us who wore masks and got shots to thank for there not being 2.2 million deaths and the economy and health care systems not completely crashing, you selfish, anti-social, paranoid freaks).

  12405. Obama offered both sticks and carrots, olive branches and bayonets to our adversaries, and gave them a chance at redemption. The best example is Iran, where he got an agreement that has been successful, despite Trump saying otherwise. (And, no, we didn't "give" them money or pay any ransom - look it up). Trump either bends over for them, (Putin and Duterte), or just rattles the saber, (Iran, N Korea), and INSULTS OUR ALLIES, (Great Britain, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Australia). He is gutting the State Department, and taking sides in the fucked-up mess that is the Sunni/Shia conflict, as well as the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

  12407. 2020 is the Democrats' to lose. A Democratic blowout should be easy. In 2016, a lot of people, even I, myself, wasn't sure that Trump would be a total disaster if he won. What if he was just ACTING like a jackass as a candidate, but would change if he won? We didn't know yet for sure. But he proved the old saying true - "When someone shows you who they are, believe them". Another old saying - "Once, shame on you. Twice, shame on me". The Dems have a horrible strategy. There are too many candidates running too early. The early bird gets the worm, and they need to court donors. But they don't have to be so overt about it SO SOON. Trump might not even be the nominee. He might be removed, resign, or be primaried. Dems want to run against the devil they know, against a wounded Trump. But if he is wounded enough this time next year, his own party might get rid of him for the same reason they support him now - To keep their party in power. Republicans might pull the old bait and switch. Democrats - It's too many too soon! The media has to cover you when you announce things, and then, people will get burned out and tune out. You are writing THEIR attack ads while Trump is already writing yours. Fly under the radar. Wait a few months and see where things are going. Don't divide yourselves for the conquering.

  12425. KungFuMaster - Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  12426. KungFuMaster - I sold guns. You're pretty presumptuous about what you think I know. You can't refute my points directly because it's common sense. And, no, I - like most liberals - am not in favor of "taking away guns" from responsible gun owners.

  12428. Venus Live Factor - Biden had that Ukrainian prosecutor fired because he wasn't prosecuting corrupt people and entities. The move was supported by the REPUBLICANS in Congress and the World Bank. He acted in the interest of the US, not for his own, personal benefit. The accusation that Biden "admitted" he had him fired because investigators were probing Burisma, where his son was employed, is nonsense. The investigation had been into activities that took place PRIOR TO HUNTER BIDEN'S JOINING THE BOARD. Biden didn't "admit" to any wrongdoing on camera because he did nothing wrong. Who confesses to a crime in a room full of people in front of a camera? Donald Trump, on the other hand, was impeached for extorting Ukraine for his own, personal benefit - to manufacture dirt on his rival, Joe Biden. It wasn't supported by anyone, it contradicted policy, and he hid evidence on a classified server. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/619617/

  12432. 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".

  12435. While addressing the withdrawal of his DNI nominee, Trump said he likes to let the press do his vetting because it saves them money. He had just said the press treated his nominee unfairly. So, he trusts the reporting of news media he constantly calls fake and inaccurate, and trusts their reporting enough to neglect the proper vetting process to save money? It's the kind of utter NONSENSE that flies from his mouth every day. How on earth do his supporters take him seriously??

  12436. MSM critics, stop attacking the messenger! Yes, they use narratives. They do it to make sense of the raw facts for you. Everything isn't politics. They don't work for the DNC or the "deep state". They work for ratings to get sponsors, so they sensationalize to get your attention. That doesn't mean they're lying or deceiving. If they were, their competitors would call THEM out to take their ratings and sponsors. Competition is a cornerstone of capitalism. MSM want big, corporate sponsorship, so why would they be pushing far-left socialism? You "fake news" parrots haven't thought this through. Think of it as fast food, but instead of burgers, they sell information. They have to offer a quality product faster than the other guys. CNN is the McDonalds of news. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. It's not gourmet, but it does the job. If you don't want a lot of garnish, watch PBS, but you'll get the same FACTS that CNN reports. FOX News can't pass the health inspection. It has no competitors. It labeled MSM "liberal" simply by standing to the right of the them, and pretending it isn't also mainstream media. FOX News isn't conservative. It's ALTERNATIVE media. It's up to YOU to know the difference between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. The term, "fake news" is designed to blur those differences, and to make you think opinions are outright lies. Do you MSM critics who cry "BIAS!" even realize how biased YOU are?

  12437. I think a lot of people forget that he actually endorsed police brutality. He said cops should slam suspect's heads into squad cars. Funny, but when Trump is credibly accused of something, he starts whining about how suspects are innocent until proven guilty, (as if even the guilty forfeit their civil right to not get beaten down by the cops).

Trump has gotten nearly no pieces of major legislation passed, and I'm sure you don't even have a clue what his predecessors have accomplished. The only thing Trump has done is sign EOs at a higher rate than Obama, who he ripped-on for signing EOs. Trump doesn't even have the WILL or PATIENCE to do the work and planning required to get things done. It's obvious by his tweets, scandals, pettiness, and complete lack of coherency with his staff and cabinet. They can't stick to a single message. Wake up and learn something instead of spewing nonsensical talking points as you blame the media for things you can't even specify.

  12450. The stock market started rising way before Trump took office. Look at a graph. But that's actually surprising to me. I expected it to do well. Know why? Because he is gutting Wall Street regulations put in place after 2008 designed to prevent another crash. And Trump said Clinton was too cozy with Wall Street! Take a look at the backgrounds of his cabinet members. Wall Street is highly represented.... The unemployment rate has dropped very little under Trump. It was cut IN HALF, from around 10% to around 5%, where it is now, under Obama....... Trump had little to do with decimating ISIS. The invasion of Raqqa was planned during the Obama administration. Mosul was planned and executed under Obama, and Trump wouldn't shut up about how they shouldn't have announced it first. You know, he "knows more than the generals", and seems to think the Iraqi and US forces are ninjas. You can't sneak in, for many reasons. By the way, Trump ceded a lot of the decision making to the military commanders. He is less involved in military affairs than Obama...... And how the hell is nominating a Supreme Court Justice such a big accomplishment? Trump doesn't know a thing about the judiciary. He picked a name from a list! A list made by a far right group. Republicans blocked Obama's nominee for a year with a bullshit excuse. It would have been much harder for Trump to NOT nominate a Justice! Remember Trumpers - You are entitled to your own crazy fantasies. You are not entitled to your own facts, no matter what Kellyanne Conway says. Thanks, Obama! Props to the Generals!....... But I will give him credit for dropping the illegal immigration rate, (although he is being a major dick about it), so why do we need a fucking wall?

It is way beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! And we're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you! But go ahead, Trumpers, tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry. Plain and simple.

  12457.  @beyondthepale9071  Republicans point to mental health when it comes to gun control and COVID, but then they do nothing about mental health. It's the party of inaction. Gun control - "It's mental health," and then they propose nothing to address mental health. COVID - "Treat it like the common flu. People are going crazy in their homes." They demand re-opening, but ALSO oppose simple mask mandates to make it safer to open. 49% of Republican men won't even get vaccinated. Their "solution" is to ignore it. Climate change - Every single Republican candidate in 2016 said "I believe climate change is real, but the economy will suffer," and propose nothing to solve the problem. Health Care - For 13 years, they've opposed reform. They spent the entire Trump Administration promising their own health care plan, but never unveiled it. Trump lied for years, saying "It's two weeks away." Where's that infrastructure plan that Trump promised? He didn't even build the wall that he promised Mexico would fund. They concentrate on Mr. Potato head, the barely existent paper tiger of ANTIFA, a non-existent communist threat, a non-existent "leftist" deep state, and non-existent voter fraud as a ruse to suppress liberal votes. All the while, they make nonsensical claims about elitism and globalism being partisan issues.

  12471. Imagine Clinton had become president last year amid reports of the Saudis hacking the RNC and trying to get her elected. Imagine she had publicly asked them to dig up dirt on Trump. Say she had refused to criticize the kingdom for its human rights policies, saying, "What? You think we're so innocent?" Imagine her campaign manager, John Podesta, had been working for the Saudis and had helped install a pro-Saudi leader in Yemen. Let's say Huma Aberdeen was to become her National Security Advisor, while being paid to make anti-American speeches in Riyadh, and had failed to register and report the income. Say another staffer was also doing the same - three years after being recruited by Saudi spies. Say Clinton was hiding a deal to build hotels in Riyadh. Imagine if, during the transition, Aberdeen was secretly telling a Saudi Prince she would make sure Clinton would lift sanctions that the President was imposing on them for meddling, then lied to the FBI about it when questioned. Imagine Clinton had been warned by Obama and the DOJ about Aberdeen, but doesn't fire her until the press reports it. Chelsea Clinton is found to have had a secret meeting with a Saudi government lawyer, Saudi intelligence, and Podesta, about trading favors for dirt on Trump. Chelsea's husband is found to have been setting-up back channels with Riyadh with a sanctioned Saudi banker. NINE Clinton associates lie about Saudi connections...Substitute Clinton for Trump in all of these suspicious activities and the many others - Felix Sater. Peter Smith. Roger Stone. The dossier. The server at Trump Tower where 80% of the attempts to communicate came from a Russian bank...Now imagine Podesta and his assistant are charged with money laundering for the Saudis and Conspiracy Against The US. Huma Aberdeen pleads guilty to Perjury after asking for immunity, saying she "has a story to tell". Robby Mook pleads guilty to Perjury after he admits to seeking dirt on Trump from the Saudis. Clinton attacks the intelligence agencies and the DOJ, firing key figures, and crying, "But Trump! Look at Trump!" She calls it a hoax and rejects the idea of EVEN INVESTIGATING THE SAUDIS. The House probe is sabotaged by Nancy Pelosi. Clinton won't release her tax returns. She won't explain ANYTHING - just repeats, "No collusion. No Saudi ties." MSM refuses to report undisputed, newsworthy facts and instead cries, "What about Trump's pussy grabbing and real estate deals?" every day...YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS WOULD HAVE A SHIT FIT AND YOU KNOW IT! I'm a Liberal who likes Clinton, and I WOULD, TOO. I would be crying, "Impeach her!" And I haven't even mentioned half of it.

  12482. - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  12494.  @blackroyalbrand1287  CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, multiple ballot audits, recounts in every battleground state, an extremely detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly attempted to commit fraud himself. Trump's own chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed 2020 election bid. Nowhere does it say there was fraud, and it acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead over Trump. And you think he was cheated?

  12502. @InCogNito Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

Trump says it's okay to solicit foreign government election help, but when Dems hire a legal oppo research firm, it's "treason"? Have you thought this through?

  12507. The deep state is made up of only Democrats, even in non-political agencies like the FBI and CIA. Half of them registered as Republicans years ago to go undetected. The deep state is all-powerful, but they let Republicans win elections half the time, so as not to arouse suspicion. They wanted Hillary to succeed Obama in 2016. They didn't think they'd have to do anything but let her run and win. But the deep state didn't count on Donald Trump. Even though Clinton had a 94% chance, they had an "insurance policy". If she lost, they were ready to activate operatives in the FBI, CIA, DNI, DHS, NSA, the White House, the liberal media in the US and Europe, Facebook, military intelligence, Australian intelligence, British intelligence, private digital forensics firms, and about a dozen other agencies. They forged reports, intelligence intercepts, as nd wire transfers, careful not to arouse the suspicion of Republicans around them. Even though these agencies weren't allowed to ask what their employees' personal party affiliation was, they found out which ones were Democrats. And if they were Democrats, they were loyal to the deep state. Here was the plan: Even though it might cause Clinton to lose, they leaked all of the DNC's emails. Why? So that, even with a 6% chance, if Trump won, the deep state could frame Trump for colluding with Russia to make him look illegitimate. They paid an opposition research firm to compile a fake dossier full of dirt on Trump, but they didn't use it during the campaign. Why not? I don't know. But they know why. They even got the head of the FBI to reopen Clinton's prior email scandal investigation right before the election. Why? Again, they know why. Good thing they did all of that, because Trump won! Now, all they had to do was to publicly link Trump to Russia with sham probes based on their fake intelligence. In a strange twist of fate, it turns out that 16 members of the Trump campaign had many, undisclosed meetings with surrogates of the Russian government that they lied about. One involved three of them meeting with the Russians to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief, but even though Trump was reaching out to Russia and Russia was reaching out to them, everything on both ends was legitimate. That was all just a big coincidence. DO YOU PEOPLE HEAR YOURSELVES WHEN YOU SAY THIS SHIT??

  12527. Olga the Bolshevik - Sure. Clinton's plan was to collude with the Russians to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear the winner with. And she started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you all start fabricating intercepts and reports, commit major felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She also asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  12528. Chaveto Jalapeno Popper - It's pretty hard to believe Trump's staff successfully kept their Russia dealings from Trump when they casually circulated that information among the entire staff. And if that were the case, wouldn't Trump be furious with his son, Manafort, Flynn, Papadoupolos and Sessions? If he was, he surely kept it a secret - and his associates leak more than a submarine with a screen door. Trump was warned early on by the FBI about the Russians and about Flynn. But he kept Flynn on the job until the media exposed the facts? Doesn't compute.

Now, the pandemic is worse than ever in the US. We still can't reopen, so the economy is still threatened while the rest of the world is getting over this. Great job! Protesters got worked-up about demanding everything immediately, demanded to "defund police", and lumped cases of true, racist police brutality with those in gray areas. They demanded everything with even a hint of racism be destroyed without debate. Great job! Now, all they've done is play into the culture war, galvanized the cops' attitude that it's "us vs. them," and insured protesters will be villified. Sick of career politicians? Elect a president with no experience whatsoever. Sick of runaway capitalism? Support Bernie Sanders, the far-left socialist. Everything, right down to our very existence and evolution on planet Earth is due to BALANCE. If you've had enough of racist police brutality, focus on POLICE BRUTALITY, not boxes of Uncle Ben's or 25 year old sitcoms. If you want to deal with a pandemic, balance BOTH health AND economics. Whether you are on the left or the right, EXTREMISM DOESN'T WORK!

His former lawyer, National Security Adviser, and 2 campaign staffers have all pleaded guilty and are cooperating with Mueller. Two other associates have been granted immunity. 3 of his kids and his son-in-law are under investigation. At least two associates have secret recordings. That's just what we know about, and Mueller's probe doesn't leak. He's involved in a dozen scandals. He lost the popular vote. Now, knowing that the majority of Americans didn't like him when he was elected and he hasn't won any of them over, why on Earth would you doubt that 49% want him impeached?

It wasn't good for Dems politically. Ethics and accountability dictated that they had to impeach him. If Republicans had any ethics or desire for accountability, they wouldn't be making that stupid argument that Dems love to hate him so much that they can't let him go.

  12554. -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  12557. Trump wants a $5 billion down payment on an (at least) $25 billion project. Dems have no problem giving him money for sensible border security. DHS hasn't even spent $1.3 billion of last year's money. If they're already starting on "the wall", then why is Trump keeping the government shut down? There are existing and new, limited barriers Dems are more than happy to appropriate funds for.

  12558. SPZ Aruba - You obviously don't get it. They will give him money for border security, but not for a single project that will cost tens of billions. If they give him five bucks, they have to fund his wall/fence/whatever he is calling it today until completion. Trump cannot show how Mexico will pay for it, as promised. He can't even decide what he wants it to be. His first estimate was $4 billion. He pulled $25 billion out of his ass. Do you really think it can be done under budget? If it was a bank loan, they would laugh him out of the bank.

The dead only vote Democrat? Actually, the only people who were caught voting for dead people were for Trump. He told his voters to vote twice! Again, WHO CHEATED AND HIW DID THEY PULL OFF THE CONSPIRACY? If you say it was individual voters, they could have been on either side, right? If it was an organized conspiracy, HOW DID THEY DO IT? How did they recruit, steal information from all of those places, counterfeit all of those different ballots, smuggle them in, elude poll watchers, security, and fellow poll workers, bankroll the operation, and launder the money? You can't explain that can you? All this time, NO CRIME SCENE AND NO SUSPECT. If you went to the police and reported a crime in which your answer to "Who and where?" was "Everyone, everywhere," they'd laugh your ass out of there.

  12562. The reason for GOP voter suppression tactics is that there are more of us than them, so high turnout favors Dems. Minorities are reliably more likely to vote Dem, so it doesn't take a statistician to figure out their motive. There's an easy solution - Vote. - Make sure before election day that they haven't purged your eligibility on some technicality. - Make sure they haven't removed your local drop box. - Make sure you have ID if they require it. In most states, you can register to vote at the DMV. - If you vote by mail, return your ballot ASAP in case the GOP tries to slow the mail again or remove your local mailbox at the last minute. - Clear your schedule for election day. - Dress for the weather forecast. Bring an umbrella in case the GOP makes the line longer and routs it outdoors. - Bring snacks and soft drinks. If you need a lot of weed to wait in a long line, bring extra snacks and soft drinks. - Wear a diaper in case the GOP tries to deny access to a restroom or sabotage the toilets, but whatever you do, VOTE!

  12570. To Democratic candidates: The country is sharply divided 60/40. You have that 60%. You aren't going to lose any of us. Put that 60% aside. Of the remaining 40%, half is firmly Trumpian. It's also, more or less, the 20% of the population as a whole that is misinformed, batshit crazy, conspiracy-minded, and uninterested in the truth. They hear what they want to. They're hopelessly stuck on Trump. Put them aside, too. That leaves the other 20%. That group contains the 2016 Obama to Trump voters. They voted for Trump because they felt neglected and frustrated by the government, whether that was justified or not. They are on the smarter, saner end of the Trumpland spectrum. They're not the sharpest pencils in the box. They've been misinformed by Trump and right-wing media. They don't know much about government, and frankly, who can really blame them for not wanting to keep up with the circus that is politics? Democrats - those people, that 20%, should be your target! Yes, rally your base, but that alone won't do it. When you rally your side, you also rally theirs. Give that 20% the attention they want. I'm NOT saying pander to them insincerely, and definitely don't agree with them and the ideas that their lying, narcissistic, fear-mongering president has planted in their heads. But try to inform them and explain in simple terms why they should leave the cult of Trump without rattling-off talking points like a robotic, liberal Mike Pence. Run on a message, (I suggest education), AND ALSO be anti-Trump. Democrats can get a lot more votes from the other side than Republicans can. And, by the way, the reason we have minority rule in the first place is Republican gerrymandering. Republican Representation in Congress is grossly disproportionate to the population, so folks shouldn't believe Trump's bullshit about the system being skewed to the Democrats.

  12571. The El Paso shooter called immigrants "invaders". Trump PURPOSELY uses the term, "illegal ALIEN". He repeats that Stalin term "enemy of the people", and news outlets get threats from nut jobs using that phrase. Don't forget Trump's "Second Amendment people" remark about Hillary. He has defended the word, "nationalist", knowing it's a loaded word. Look at how he handled Charlottesville. Right after he was elected, the racist National Policy Institute felt emboldened enough to say "Hail Trump" while imitating the Nazi salute. Racial hate groups say Trump SUPPORTS THEM. What's he doing about it? Don't say he denounced them. Apparently not enough. If he spent a fraction of the time he spends on Twitter saying he doesn't speak for them as he does spewing bigoted garbage, they might get the message. But he just keeps it up, and then argues about the literal meanings of his words. Maybe he should go call some black people "monkeys", then tell them monkeys are just mammals.

The fact that right wingers love to cite that case is because it's one of the very rare cases of media getting the basic facts wrong. It's a far cry from proof that the media lie all the time.

He and his cronies also said this: "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass!" - Rep. Mo Brooks, to the mob he instructed to go to the Capitol. (Rep. Brooks was wearing body armor when he said it). "If you don't fight like hell, we're coming after YOU!" - Don Trump Jr, to the mob. Some more little gems... "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. Trump echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He attacked his own, loyal VP on Twitter as the mob searched for him.

They have to. No business in its right mind would passively let itself go broke. So where are the PSAs? Where are the TV spots telling us to wash our hands and wear masks? Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?

  12603. It isn't about being 6 feet away. It's about avoiding contaminated air. If an infected person coughs 12 feet away, and you walk into the cloud, you are at risk. In my city, small restaurants make people eat outside right beside the sidewalk. Diners sit maskless with their heads two feet below people walking by, maskless, because they're outside. The droplets fall right into their faces. Winter is worse because we're driven indoors, but also because UV rays are less effective at killing the virus. It's why you can't get a tan in the wintertime. How many people unconsciously touch their eyes after touching surfaces in public? There are more habits we can pick up besides masks and distance. If we take fewer trips to the grocery, any virus that might be on your items have time to "die" in your cabinets before you touch them again. Also, it thins the crowds at the store. We have to stop abiding the technicalities without thinking in terms of practicalities. It's not so much about how far away you are from people, but how far away your eyes, nose and mouth are from the germs.

  12605. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  12612.  @1247.cccccc  Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  12628. I admit I was wrong about Trump. I thought he was a con man, and not even a good one who deserved the title, con ARTIST. Conning the stupid shouldn't be considered an art form. But I've been thinking about how he resonates with people. I now appreciate the accomplishments the media seldom give him credit for. Now, I see he fully deserves of the title, Genuine Bullshit Artist. He convinced the most skeptical skeptics - conspiracy theorists - that he's an honest guy, just by saying so! Never mind that politicians have said, "I'm an outsider" for centuries. Trump made people think he was the first. He's conned more suckers than PT Barnum. He's charmed more than Jim Jones and David Koresh combined, and with the personality and wit of an obnoxious trust fund kid with a learning disorder. He's inspired xenophobia that would rival Hitler if not for our Constitution stopping him from carrying out his final solution. He didn't just con the stupid and disgruntled. He convinced Congressmen, captains of industry, and otherwise smart people to back him, even though his "Trump train" is clearly headed over a cliff. Now, he has to take it to the next level. He must become the new leader of the Flat Earth movement. From birther to flat earther. Sure, he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support. He can convince people that global warming is a Chinese hoax. But can he convince people the Earth is flat? I think he can. Make Earth Flat Again. Perception is reality. You just have to believe only what you want to believe.

Clinton didn't know how to counter his tactics, but in fairness to her, nobody would have expected any candidate to act like him and actually get enough suppport to win. We got an education about just how petty and stupid a third of this country is.

  12638. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

CIA analysts couldn't care less when they're following terrorists. Mildred at the DMV isn't a deep state operative because she works for the government. Scientists studying climate don't work for the DNC. Everyone in California isn't a socialist hippie. The media doesn't work for the Democrats. They work for sponsors. Most started their careers in local news. They're not going pass on, say, covering a crooked Senator because they're a Democrat.

  12641. Are Republicans actually implicitly saying that someone can go commit crimes, then run for President, and they'll shield them from the law while helping them win the White House?? And speaking of ridiculous Republican logical fallacies, are they ostensibly saying that any VP can steal a second term for themselves and their bosses by simply insisting, without proof, that they were cheated? So...there are...no more four-year terms? So, Dan Quayle, HW Bush and Al Gore just... didn't think about that?? Are they asserting that also gives them the right to summon a riot at the Capitol as long as they insist they really believed they were cheated??

Did they refuse to accept the results and start a smear campaign against Bush as "an excuse for a lost election"? When the Republicans obstructed Obama's SCOTUS pick with a bullshit excuse about a year away being too close to an election? When Trump let a far-right group, the pick Neil Gorsuch for what should have been Garland's seat, and refused to consult with Dems beforehand, as is traditional, did Dems go nuts? No. Now, another far-right group has made a list, from which Trump picked the guy most likely to protect him from the Russia probe, and a guy who could very well help overturn Roe V. Wade, (which only 29% of the public supports). They withheld 100,000 documents needed to properly vet this man, finally releasing 42,000 of them 15 hours before the confirmation hearing. Now, Dems are showing their anger. Dems don't do that until they are pushed and pushed. It's about time.

  12659. In a bizarre interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump launched into a tale about liberal cities being overrun with filth, and how people are pissing in the streets and making the cops ill. He made a point to say it was worse in sanctuary cities, and said it started two years ago. He said he is looking into it very seriously, (But he's not looking into abhorrent conditions in border facilities). He said that it hurts our country because it looks bad to foreign dignitaries. As usual, he used fragmented sentences, endless tangents, and vagaries. What the hell?? HIS BASE SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS?? It was his own words with a FOX News host, but, no doubt, his followers will say it's the media making him look bad! Time to look seriously at the 25th Amendment. He is the PRESIDENT, and he talks like that all the time! We are living in the bizarro world, folks.

They have to. No business in its right mind would passively let itself go broke. So where are the PSAs? Where are the TV spots telling us to wash our hands and wear masks? Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?

  12668. Black face is racist because it was used in the past by white stage actors to portray blacks as sub-human. If Don Lemon wanted to educate people, he could have said that instead of acting self-righteous. Megyn Kelly clearly wasn't advocating for black face. It SHOULDN'T be offensive, but it is, and it IS ridiculous to say you can dress up like people on Halloween in every way except the color of your face, but black face is just one of those things that's too loaded with racism to use, like labeling yourself a nationalist. There's no need to go there. But if we make it a slippery slope and include every little emulation of any ethnic group off limits, then we might as well abolish Halloween and all hire lawyers to tell us what we can and can't say in mixed company. Whites - Don't use the N-word or black face. Blacks - Don't get offended by the Dukes of Hazard because they had a Confederate flag on their car. Everyone - Don't take offense when it isn't intended, and realize some words and practices are too loaded with baggage to use in a non-offensive way.

  12671. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics.

His family changed their name to hide their heritage, btw. Get over it. Warren was told, as a child, CORRECTLY, that she had some Native American heritage. She apologized for her insensitivity, which was at least complimentary to Native Americans. Any Trump supporters who make a big deal about it are amazingly hypocritical, considering he never tells the truth. Is that really all you've got? Pocahontis? Trump using that nickname is more offensive. It is derogatory, and he is a raging bigot! By the way, is "Creepy Joe" all you've got to make a case against Biden?

  12683. Look at the crowds that were at both the Capitol riot and the civil rights riots last summer. Take away all of the truly non-violent demonstrators last summer. You're left with mostly local thugs who were not organized and had little understanding of government and partisan politics. None were supported by the Democratic party. Take away the truly non-violent demonstrators from the Capitol. You're left with a dozen or so Nationalist groups, including several white supremacist groups. They were organized, traveled from all over the country, many armed, and all driven by partisan politics. They were encouraged and disinformed by the Republican party. The President's cronies used those people for private security. Think about that. The President, who could have any professional security he wanted, had his people hire insurrectionists who had their own "emergency response team" with firearms - illegal to carry at the Capitol - ten minutes away. The President told them to "fight like hell". His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat!" as he cheered him on. There is no apples to apples comparison.

That there is nothing wrong with having dirty tricksters reach out to foreign hackers and disseminators. They say they don't want to talk about the wrongdoing of people who aren't indicted, but that didn't apply when Comey said that Clinton was irresponsible with her email server. And Trump defenders think the FBI is on the side of the DNC??

Yeah, that would have gone over real well! Open your eyes.

  12702. Republican Philosophy: Respect the flag and police unless you're using the flag to attack police. Respect the rule of law unless you don't like a judge's ruling. Life is sacred until it's born, after which you can use health care and pandemics as political footballs. When we're not in power, we're under assault by the left. When we're in power, we're under assault by the leftist deep state. China's lies about COVID were reprehensible, but a US President can lie about it to avoid panic. Condemn China's failure to contain a novel virus, but let it infect your family at home when you had forewarning. Don't investigate liars who raise reasonable suspicion. Investigate baseless propaganda traced to the Kremlin. Government should keep its hands off your guns and put them in a woman's uterus. ID to buy a gun is oppressive. ID to vote ensures freedom. Don't send nasty tweets unless you target a liberal. Rhetoric is figurative, literal, or "just a joke" depending on what you want to believe. Officials shouldn't go to Mexico during a crisis unless they're Republican. Explaining China's human rights abuse is excusing it. Giving ostensible approval of it to the Chinese President isn't noteworthy. A President's son's Chinese private business deals is corruption. A President's $5.6 million profit from Chinese, state-run companies while in office is shrewd business. Don't believe the media unless it's right-wing. Don't believe a President unless he's an habitually lying Republican. Cancel culture is bad unless you cancel celebrities, journalists, Amazon, Democrats, non-radical Republicans, protests for equality... Golfing monthly is dereliction of duty. Golfing weekly is networking. Don't be China's puppet. Be Russia's. Don't wage war unless you're funding it in Yemen. Don't tax and spend unless you're deficit-spending on tax cuts. Don't give stimulus money to people unless you trickle it down from the top. No welfare - except for corporations. Presidents are crooked public servants who don't know anything, unless they're the 45th, who's an omniscient god. Ivy league alumni are commie liberals unless daddy put them through Wharton. Evil Socialists create failed states, unless they're killers trained by the failed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Don't cheat in an election unless you use voter suppression or the help of a foreign adversary. SCOTUS picks can't be seated in an election year, unless the election is a few weeks away. You must wait for an outgoing official to leave before you impeach him, when it's too late to impeach him. A Senator can acquit a President who sends rioters to your workplace, then condemn him in the strongest terms, and then vow to support him if he's on a future ballot. If you criticize a former POTUS, you love to hate him and can't move on. Now what about Hillary's emails? Don't let COVID stop you...from using it as an excuse to vote by proxy so you can go to CPAC and boo when they tell you to put on a mask. Elitism is bad. Republicans are for the common man. Now, let's go worship a gold statue of a billionaire.

  12703. Headline reads: "[President] Trump goes on profanity-laced tirade amid impeachment push". These are the times we live in.

  12704.  Court Case Look up Parsa v. Goggle L.L.C  Russians hacked 21 states' voter roll software. They weaponized the DNC emails - with the support of the Trump campaign. They used every major social media platform. They put out false information about how to vote. If the Facebook ads alone changed the minds of just 1% of the people they targeted, it would have swung the election. They funnelled cash to the Trump camp via the NRA. They used tactics they've been refining for decades. Think they'd do it if it didn't work? It wasn't just screwing around with computers. This was a far-reaching, multi-faceted, code-named operation.

  12712. - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms. It's because the US is a wealthy country next to a poor one. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success". - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall. They're beset on all sides by terrorists. We only have two borders, again, next to friendly countries. Geography has been good to the US. - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If Trump was serious about keeping "them" out, he would crack-down on the employers. - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back". - We need comprehensive immigration reform. A path to citizenship, clear asylum policies, sensible border security measures, sensible drug policy, including legalized marijuana, and trade deals that include security measures.

  12718. Clinton's plan was to collude with the Russians to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear the winner with. And she started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you all start fabricating intercepts and reports, commit major felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She also asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  12719. His cabinet is crooked as a barrel of snakes. Price, ousted for corruption. Pruit, ousted for corruption. Zinke, who once had a parade route end at his house, is under suspicion. Mnuchin took a trio on taxpayer money to follow the solar eclipse on its path of totality, and went to Fort Knox to "inspect the gold". Ben Carson used an absurd amount of taxpayer money for a dining room set. Turns out, the best cabinet member Trump ever had was Rex Tillerson, and he was there because Putin wanted him there, and he was fired the day after he criticized Putin. Think about the gravity of that- What if Putin is deciding who serves at the highest levels of our government!

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.

He said he was being "sarcastic" when he asked Russia to dig up dirt on Clinton. Sarcasm. Right, as if he meant the opposite. As if he would just up and say, "Russia, definitely DON'T hack my opponent," while he knew Russia was trying to help him win. Right. And then, we found out that his top people were meeting with them to...(drumroll).., get dirt on Clinton. Then, he just happened to ask China and Ukraine for help, and, whatdya know, took the position that it's OKAY to take foreign election help.

  12730.  @andys3035  Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude. with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  12736.  @Clone42  In a nutshell, before Trump took offfice, Flynn was on a call with Sergey Kislyak. The FBI was monitoring the call, as is routine, because all Russian diplomats are suspected spies. Obama was about to impose sanctions on Russia (rightfully) because of their meddling. OF COURSE BIDEN BROUGHT UP THE LOGAN ACT. WHY WOULDN'T HE? Flynn violated the Logan Act by trying to ensure Kislyak that once Trump took office, he would drop those sanctions. (a pretty messed-up thing to do, by the way). That call was at the same time Flynn was also calling Mar-a-Lago, where Trump was, talking to Trump's secretary. Flynn was confronted by the FBI, and lied about talking about sanctions. IT WAS RIGHT THERE in the FBI transcripts. He was caught dead to rights. That's why he agreed to cooperate with the coming investigation in exchange for pleading guilty, which he did. The investigation into Flynn was not closed. Far from it. It had just begun. And why did Trump resist firing Flynn? Shouldn't Trump have been FURIOUS with Flynn for going "behind his back"? Well, not if he DIDN'T go behind his back. This is common sense. After Flynn cooperated for a while, and had a window into the prosecution's strategy, Flynn flipped back, using a joint defense agreement to supply the defense with information about the prosecution. This is all shady on its face. If Trump was a Democrat, or he had been Obama or Hillary, you Trump cultists would take the exact OPPOSITE position, and you know it. You would be outraged. Look at all of the things the MAGA crowd insist are proof positive of Democrat wrongdoing that have no basis, but oh no, any mere investigation of obviously shady activity on their "side", and it's "treason", and "deep state" activity, right? Your facts are completely twisted and wrong. I suggest you stop getting your information from FOX News, as they purposely MISINFORM you by conflating a bunch of demonized names and suggestions of left wing conspiracies without actually telling you a thing.

The narcissism makes him think he already knows everything, and that's why he refuses to learn anything. He has NPD, ADHD, and ODD - oppositional defiance dusorder, which usually affects children.

And my favorite - "The media are biased and they lie!" Hello, McFly. Trump is OBVIOUSLY AN HABITUAL LIAR. He doesn't lie like all politicians lie. He lies CONSTANTLY.

Media should just do their job! They'll never stop hypocrites like Hannity from crying "liberal bias." He'll always call CNN a mob in bed with Dems, no matter how much they report negative things about Biden or Cuomo. Yes, Biden got the other things wrong. He needs to tighten it up. But they weren't attempts to deceive. It was bad fact checking by Biden, himself. It's still a far cry from the habitual, deliberate lying by the last guy.

  12765. -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 camp, self described "dirty trickster", said he had spoken to Guccifer 2.0 and Julian Assange, the very hackers who hacked the DNC and the guy who weaponized the information. - Trump's personal lawyer and 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 even trying to make the deal. They 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.

  12789. 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.

It wasn't necessarily racist. It was misogynistic. He had bad issues with women. He targeted PROSTITUTES, not Asians. It just so happens that prostitution is done practically in the openl at Asian massage parlors. Hate crimes laws are redundant and absurd. They should be used like the death penalty - In the WORST CASES WHEN GUILT IS CERTAIN. Are we supposed to figure out the nonsensical motives of people with messed-up minds? The media could've reported the rise in attacks on Asians at any time, but they waited to seize on this flimsy, vague example. It will backfire. Right-wingers have a point. If you play "gotcha" with technicalities in peoples' every word, you're acting like Trump and his minions. There's nothing at all wrong with that cop saying the suspect "had a bad day." It IS wrong for a cop to post racist BS online that slams COVID restrictions he's duty-bound to enforce. The "PC police" make liberals like me - who draw the the line at hyper-political correctness - have to concede that point to conservatives who just fill their argument with diversions, obfuscations, and whataboutism. We should be trying to discourage bad faith debate where people won't concede a single point because it weakens their larger argument.

  12805.  @Based_Chilean  "Leftist riots"? You people act like they were planned and endorsed by the Democratic party. No matter how many times you people make that comparison, it will always be nonsense. What is your POINT?

  12807. Dain - Makes little sense on the public's mind? 50% want him removed because he solicited foreign help in an election, AGAIN! It's not complicated. If Hillary Clinton had won and done the same, you would be calling for her head on a pike.

  12809. What the hell are you fools talking about? Lied about WHAT? Knew the truth about WHAT? It was Trump and his people who lied. That's why there was a probe - to find out the truth.
    1
  12810. @Youtube Veterinarian What the hell are you talking about? It was Trump and his people lying about Russia that made the probe necessary in the first place. You obviously don't understand anything about it. And there wasn't nothing found. There was no prosecutable conspiracy fpund. Plus, Mueller specifically said Trump isn't exonerated for obstruction.

  12819.  @xxshevilxx  I know that. You completely missed the point. If Biden had a brother who was governor of a contested state, Trump would have said he helped him cheat.

  12821. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump about if Hillary Clinton were to win. "They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words. He uses the words, "nationalism" and "alien" for a reason. He could clearly use other words. Let's assume for a moment that Trump is not a race-baiter. The racial hate groups, ALL of which are on the right, insist he supports them. Whether he does or not, that is the MESSAGE they get, and Trump sure seems more than happy to let that continue. Save your whataboutism. I'm no fan of Antifa, it isn't a racial hate group, and the best whataboutism can do is to assert that two wrongs make a right.

  12822. Anyone else frustrated that George Santos was rightly, promptly run out of office for being an HABITUAL LIAR, but an even bigger HABITUAL LIAR gets away with it? Media, Dems, stop playing Wack-A-Mole with each individual lie. Make the narrative that TRUMP ALWAYS LIES.

  12827. How dense can you people be? This was about soliciting election help from the Russians, right? Well, that is illegal whether Trump wants it to be or not. HE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS. HE DID IT AGAIN, AND NOW HE IS BEING IMPEACHED FOR IT. Duh. What is it you people don't understand? You have no argument on the merits, so you are trying to say he should get off on a technicality. Kind of hard to argue that when 1)- There is no technicality. The probes were legal. and 2)- He did it AGAIN!

  12829. MR Jensen Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?
    1
  12830. MR Jensen - Trump himself said that getting information on an opponent from a foreign government is called "oppo research", and perfectly acceptable. Tell me, was the Trump Tower meeting okay? But hiring an oppo research firm is not? Huh?
    1
  12831. The Memo - Trump followers are too clueless to take that as an insult, and it's ironic, because Trump is dumber than they are, even though he is ivy league educated and even founded a (sham) university.

  12832.  @theone-swta  The Russians sent surrogates to New York to offer dirt on Clinton to the Trump campaign. Nobody is denying that. Russia absolutely helped him.
    1
  12833. Imagine if Donald Trump was Hillary Clinton, and she had won in 2016. We find out her top people, including her daughter, had met with foreign government surrogates to influence the election. Her campaign manager and personal attorney go to prison. Her new personal attorney winds up under investigation for conducting a shadow "foreign policy" by utilizing two reputed gangsters who wind up arrested at an airport with one way tickets to Vienna, and charged with felonies. Her top campaign aide turned National Security Advisor is fired and indicted in record time, and HIS assistant is indicted, and turns states' evidence. Another top campaign aide, a self-dubbed "dirty trickster", is convicted of lying to authorities about being in touch with the hackers AND disseminators of stolen information used as dirt in the campaign. A record number of her cabinet members are ousted in scandal...Imagine these are only things pertaining to the corruption of her top people, never mind the ocean of lies and questionable things that she, herself, had done while in office. Trumpers, what would you have to say about that?

  12844. Democrats, do you need a talking point? Media, do you need a good narrative? Ask this question to every MAGA Republican: "Get real. If a Democrat did it, would you take the same position?" If Biden was indicted on campaign finance charges..? If Obama summoned a mob to the Capitol? If Bill Clinton had stolen classified documents, refused to return them, and asserted they were his property..? If Kamala Harris said she can simply give Biden and herself a second term no matter what the election results are..? If Biden told more lies BY FAR than any other president..? If Al Gore made a call like the one Trump made to Raffensberger..? Warned of "death and destruction..? ANYTHING controversial that Trump has done and said in political life. There are literally THOUSANDS of examples. WHY DO WE NEVER HEAR THAT? Get them all on record reacting to those questions!

  12845. 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.

  12853. Renember in November the precedent this is setting. Trump has said, 1)- The Constitution says he can do whatever he wants. 2)- Anyone who criticized him should leave the country. His lawyer has argued, 3)- If the president believes what he is doing benefits the country, then it can't be wrong. But that guy wouldn't abuse his power, would he? No way that guy would want to be a dictator.
    1
  12854. The man who ghost-wrote Art of the Deal said Trump is semi-literate at best. Trump went to a good college, he actually founded a (crooked) university, and look at the grammar errors in his tweets! He can't spell simple words. The messed-up part is that it HELPS him because it makes those in his his "poorly educated" base think he relates to them.
    1
  12855.  @-Size-  LOL. Are you a Russian troll? Trump said, "I Love the poorly educated". He might as well havecsaid, "I'm pandering to the stupid". It's ironic that he is WELL EDUCATED, yet he's dumber than the poorly educated base he panders to!

  12856. Trumpers think if there's not a new indictment every week, it was just some bs invented by CNN. They're in for a rude awakening. During Watergate, months went by between developments. Mueller is hard at work.

  12858. There are exactly zero communists and two Democratic Socialists in Congress. We send representatives to Washington to debate policy ideas, bill by bill. Bernie Sanders LOST the primary to a centrist. How, exactly, is this "Marxist takeover" supposed to work? The US, just like almost EVERY country, is somewhat socialist. Learn something before you spout that fear-mongering crap.

  12859. Poll the country on the job where you get the most criticism, and POTUS would be the top answer. "I get attacked all the time," says our insulting, vengeful, childish, whiney little lying bitch of a leader. He acts like he never saw the news before. The media is doing EXACTLY what they would do with ANY president who acts like him. He whines about SNL, for Christ's sake! He wants to be a rebel? To be different? Then what the fuck does he expect? 92% of his coverage is negative because 92% of what he does and says is negative! He's a "counter-puncher"? Give me a fucking break. He's just a "puncher". He only serves his base. That's polarizing, so over half the country isn't going to agree that the "good things" he does are actually good things. Just because he sees no need to be presidential (aka mature), doesn't mean the country doesn't need it. He's got some damn nerve bitching about the "dishonest" media. He's a proven habitual liar! Does he EVER specify what the media is actually "lying" about? Hell no! It never ceases to amaze me, not only what his base now considers acceptable in a leader, but also how HYPOCRITICAL his followers are! "What about Hillary?!" What about her? She isn't President, and EVERYTHING he accuses the Clintons of, he is accused of himself - to a much greater degree! Crooked charity? Check. Election fraud? Check. Security breaches? Check. Sex crimes? Check. Inciting incivility? Mega check! Lying? Holy shit - Super duper megacheck! Trump and his followers need to grow the fuck up!

There are SO MANY ways to debunk the "witch hunt" claim, not least of which is that it goes against COMMON SENSE to believe Clinton got the heads of over a dozen major federal agencies to commit major felonies to join in on a MASSIVE plot to smear Trump just in case he won an election that the odds were way against him winning.

    1
  12864. Mark Pierce - That's the dumbest thing I've heard all week. Yeah, that's Putin's priority. Right. Because if Trump was a Russian puppet, Putin would oppose his border control efforts. By the way, Putin does support his nationalism efforts because he wants to divide Europe. Fucking moron, what kind of logic is that?

  12865. Trump has called NATO obsolete, refused to reaffirm Article 5, worked to lift sanctions, wants to recognize their annexation of Crimea, REFUSES TO ADMIT RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR ELECTION, hired, then fired Rex Tillerson, invited Lavrov and Kislysk into the Oval Office at Putin's request (where he told them Israeli spy secrets), suspended South Korean military exercises, (which Putin has always wanted), refuses to criticize Putin AT ALL and actually defends some of his worst deeds, including killing journalists...

Just when I think you think too much "from the gut", and not from the brain, too right vs. left brain, you start thinking too much from the logic side, and ignore the intuitive, common sense side. But I think I see - You're just overly tribal. You rationalize, via the left or right brain, whatever bolsters the POLITICAL RIGHT. But why? They're POLITICIANS. Save that shit for your hometown football team. Save it for your family members when they do wrong and you have to defend them anyway. Politicians? They come and go. There are term limits that ensure that. Do they work for the same company you do? I don't get this hyper-loyalty. It's the kind of thing you usually only see in Catholic bishops defending pedophile priests or police chiefs defending dirty cops. They're politicians. SMH. This is why we compare you to cult members.

  12880. Trump says he didn't try to fire Mueller, but he won't say that to Mueller. If the White House lawyer (who threatened to resign) and at least 3 other people who sourced the story say otherwise and Mueller corroborates that, Trump can either commit perjury or plead the 5th. A reminder - this came out days after we found out Christopher Wray, Trump's own pick to replace Comey, threatened to resign because Trump wanted to fire Comey's deputy. Trump also denies knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting, the Republican party platform change, and Flynn's sanction talk with the Russian ambassador. Same thing - If others say otherwise, perjury or the 5th. Trump is too dumb to realize he is screwed.

  12885.  @leonieromanes7265  She didn't. Why are all of you people arguing with me? I simply clarified WHAT THEY CHARGED HER WITH, and clearly pointed out how hypocritical the Republicans are for having her arrested. I couldn't have been more clear about that.

  12886.  Ashlynne Shain . I AGREE WITH YOU. DID YOU EVEN READ MY POST?! I CLARIFIED WHAT SHE WAS CHARGED WITH BECAUSE IT WAS RELEVANT TO THE COMMENT, THEN POINTED OUT THE REPUBLICANS' HYPOCRISY! HOW IS THAT NOT OBVIOUS?!

  12892. To the dimwits who keep calling my post racist. I OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T SAY SHE OBSTRUCTED. I POINTED OUT THE HYPOCRISY OF ARRESTING HER FOR IT! It's like with the cop in Atlanta. Yes, he's racist and he shouldn't be on the force, but he DIDN'T EXCUSE THE SHOOTER! He was asked about the shooter's motive. He CLEARLY conveyed that it was a "bad day" that made him snap as opposed to methodically planning his attack. HOW IS THAT AN EXCUSE? Recently, Biden was criticized for "excusing" China's concentration camps when he was CLEARLY just explaining the mentality of the Chinese. He was telling us what THEIR excuse is. We won't understand peoples' motives if we decide their motives are whatever fits our narrative. Liberals - THIS WILL BACKFIRE. Keep it up, and we'll lose elections to Republicans who don't give a rat's ass about solving these problems. It's no wonder many white, straight men think they're being blamed for everything, and I'm NOT EXCUSING their ignorance. I'm EXPLAINING it. It's not complicated.

Antifa made up far less than one percent of the rioters. It's a paper tiger. It's about 50 stoners, and nobody supports them. 93% of those protests were peaceful, and of the remaining 7%, 99% did not riot. BLM organized many of them, and did not condone the violence. It wasn't Antifa. The looters and rioters showed up like flies show up at picnics. They were opportunist thugs who didn't know anything about or give two craps about politics and government. Do you think they got together after the riots to discuss the topics on Meet the Press?

  12908. Both sides have fringe elements. There's a difference between officials and non-officials inciting and perpetrating violence. Maxine Waters incited harassment, not violence, and it was wrong. Hillary used a poor choice of words in saying you can't respond to incivility with civility, but it's far from a call to violence. Eric Holder said, "When they go low, we kick 'em", and immediately clarified that it was a figure of speech akin to "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight", which is obviously figurative. Trump holds the highest office. He exploits the violent minded and unstable - ON PURPOSE, REPEATEDLY. "You 2nd Amendment people.., " was obviously a deliberate appeal to the unstable. He called for police brutality. He keeps calling the press "the enemy of the people", even after a nut threatened a newspaper with that phrase. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump continues after a US resident journalist was brutally killed by the Saudis. He praised a Republican politician who body slammed a reporter. He literally calls for violence at rallies, once telling the crowd to hit reporters and he'd pay their legal bills. There are a dozen more examples of Trump LITERALLY glorifying violence. You can't have it both ways, saying his words are figurative while Waters' aren't. A Republican candidate made an ad about stomping an opponent with golf spikes. Another talked about hunting illegal "aliens" with a gun. The "pizzagate" shooter was a right-winger. Members of the Trump camp pushed that crap online. The mail bomber is a Trump follower. All of the racial hate groups are on the right, and say Trump supports them. He has done little to denounce that support. All of the militias are right wing. The Proud Boys are right-wing. If you don't want to own them, don't say liberals own Antifa or the nut who shot-up the softball game. With 320 million people here, there will always be a fringe, but it's clearly the public figures on the right, especially the guy at the top, who exploit the violent minded. Trump even blamed the press for the political climate after the mail bombings. Ironic, since it was Democrats who were targeted by a Trump follower, and ironic that Republicans have Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS. Grievance turns out more voters than satisfaction, so it's pretty obvious why, after the Kavanaugh win, the Republicans employed a strategy of fear about the caravan and how males are being "falsely" targeted for sex crimes. Republicans "go low" as a matter of practice.

  12922. 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!

  12923. chris ledue - No, it isn't odd for the DOJ to resist giving up information about an investigation. Especially when it is obvious that House Republicans were running interference for Trump. Now THAT looks suspicious. And that's all you folks seem to have - like conspiracy theorists - something looks odd to you, and you jump to conclusions with no proof - And at the same time, you people refuse to acknowledge that 72 denied Russian contacts, Trumpers reaching out to Russians, to get DIRT, over a dozen lying about it...and so much more, is NOT cause for suspicion? My God, man, THE RUSSIANS ATTACKED OUR ELECTION, in so many more ways than just the DNC hack, and Trump, the PRIME BENIFICIARY of it, doesn't even want an investigation? You don't think THAT is suspicious? ? He's the president, for Christ sake. It is his DUTY to get to the bottom of it! I don't know why the DNC used a private company to inspect their servers - Maybe because they didn't want their business to be politicized. Who knows. But IT DOESN'T MATTER unless you are so naive you think the Russians didn't even do it and it was some DNC conspiracy to what? Spill dirt in themselves to LOSE the election just to smear Trump afterward? In what universe does that make sense?
    1
  12924. Your ridiculous Uranium 1 conspiracy theory assumes Russia bribed ONE of NINE agency heads. It makes no sense. So, the other 8 agencies, what? Were going to approve it anyway? Of course they were, because it wasn't a shady deal. And only the president could have vetoed it. It also has NOTHING to do with this. And BTW, Putin hates Clinton! To suggest he would ever help her is absurd. It's why he helped Trump!

  12926. Perhaps because the indictment contains the Pavlovian buzzword “uranium,” it has been widely reported as being related to the Uranium One deal although no basis in fact has been offered demonstrating how the two cases are related. Other than Rosatom, uranium and a shared witness who was reportedly so unreliable he was dropped from the Justice Department’s investigation into Mikerin, no credible evidence of a connection between the Lambert indictment and the Uranium One sale has been made public.
    1
  12927. chris ledeu - How did I know you would dismiss Snopes as illegitimate? Because that's what conspiracy theorists do - discredit the messenger. Doesn't matter. The fact remains that Clinton was head of the State Department - one of nine agencies that had to sign off on the deal, so it makes no sense that this alleged briber - who didn't even have a stake in the company at the time - would have only bribed ONE agency. And like I said, only the president could veto the deal. Think about it, why this focus on Clinton all of a sudden, years over 4 years later, over that deal? Because she was running for president, and was a threat to the Republicans. No kickbacks were proven. Clinton wasn't even shown to be involved in the deal - which didn't even physically transfer any uranium. And Russia has yad the bomb for decades. They can get their own uranium. And it wasn't even weapons grade uranium. Plus, why would they want to buy traceable uranium? Countries are very secretive about how much weapons grade material they have. Thus was before Russia had invaded Ukraine ir attacked our election, incurring so many sanctions. So, even if we had sold them uranium for their power plants, so what? 8 other agencies in the CFUS, (or whatever the initials if the regulatory body) didn't see anything wrong with it. It was just a regular run-of-the mill business deal also involving the Canadians. The fact that right wingers used it to smear Clinton only shows how desperate they are, and how they couldn't come up with anything else. It was all Uranium One, pizzagate, secret murders, Seth Rich, and ridiculous nonsense. We sure didn't see evidence of collusion like, say, Chelsae Clinton and John Podesta meeting with foreign adversarial governments to trade sanction relief for dirt on Trump, hiding it, and lying about it. We didn't hear Clinton asking foreign hackers to go find dirt on Trump. Clinton security advisors failing to register as foreign agents and seeking out missing emails. The FBI told Trump to let them know if Russians approached them. Did they do that when it actually happened? No. Don Jr said, "I love it", and his father said it was okay to take that meeting! 72 denied Russian contacts by Trump team members. over a dozen lying about it. Mike Flynn secretly trying to undermine sanctions, then asking for immunity and saying, "I have a story to tell". I could go on. But some perfectly normal, out in the open uranium deal and some text messages among two FBI agents without any context is proof of a massive conspiracy - just to make Trump look illegitimate on the off-chance he won the election? Think. Common sense.

Trump said NATO was obsolete, that the Chinese are more honorable than the Democratic leadership, and that Putin was a better leader than Obama! Roger Stone said the Dems are worse than the Russians.

How much did you have to strain your brain to even come up with that? They lie all the time, but that was your example? Go ahead and keep saying that crap as Trump passes his 10,111th lie.

  12933.  @kaybel5104  Surveillance on a subject in a counterintelligence probe is not the same as spying on a political candidate. Was any of that info used in the campaign? No. End of story. And I see you still can't name one CNN lie.

  12934.  @kaybel5104  The Trump campaign aroused a LOT of suspicion about Russia. 16 Trump associates lied about contacts with Russia after saying there were NO CONTACTS. This "spying" you refer to is about the Carter Page warrant, right? Carter Page had already been caught up in a Russian spy ring 3 years before joining the Trump campaign, during which he traveled to Moscow to make anti-US speeches. A judge renewed the warrant 3 times. The FBI gave no information to the Clinton campaign. Furthermore, counterintelligence investigations aren't even meant to see the light of day. And by the way, there is ZERO PROOF of any tapping of Trump's wires, and nothing linking Obama to anything illegal. CNN never asserted any truth about "spying", and I guarantee you cannot cite even one report. If you would watch it without bias, you would see that all they have been doing is reporting the fact that the FBI said what it said, and the Republicans and Trump said differently. That's called REPORTING THE NEWS, so don't blame the messenger.

  12936.  @kaybel5104  I explained to you how what you cited was not a lie, and so did other people on this thread. SMH. I'll tell you one more time. CNN reported that, 1)- the warrant to surveil Carter Page was issued by a court, 2)- Republicans take issue with whether the court issued the warrant legally. Are you following? It's not a lie. It's a statement of fact. I see you want to deflect and play semantics with the definition of "spying", but that's beside the point. Look up the definition of LIE...Did you do it? Good. Now do you see how CNN did not know a fact and then report otherwise? Whether one can characterize the surveillance of Page as "illegal spying" is what is up for debate, and it's not CNN's job to make that call. They simply reported BOTH SIDES of the issue. THAT is their job. Same with "invasion". It has NOTHING to do with CNN. They simply reported the fact that Trump characterized the caravan as an invasion, and some take issue with that characterization. You just don't like what they reported. If you have a problem with the warrant, your problem is with the judge, not CNN. If you have a problem with people not calling migrants invaders, your problem is with people like me, not CNN. Get it? Surveillance as part of a counterintelligence probe is not nearly the same as spying on a political campaign, nor is it the same as one country spying on another. If the FBI had taken what they learned from the surveillance and given it to Clinton's campaign or publicized it, then THAT would have been illegal. But there is ZERO evidence of that, and it doesn't make sense that they would - for so many reasons I can't go into it here, especially to explain it to someone who doesn't understand the basics of what the media, the FBI, and politicians do, and who they each work for.

If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS. FOX News can't pass the health inspection.

  12940. Definitely. Look how Whittacker ran interference for Trump. Of course Barr was going to do the same. Barr was just classier and less obvious about it. The Mueller report shows a clear pattern of obstruction and conduct unbecoming of a President. It is a roadmap for impeachment. But here's the problem - Dems would rather beat Trump at the ballot box than impeach. I say, screw that. The election is too far off. The country is ALREADY divided, and this should be about the law. Dems want to run against a wounded Trump, but if he is too wounded, the Republicans will primary, and get rid of him themselves. Then, Dems will have fallen for the old bait and switch. They won't be up against the devil they know. Another Republican might win in 2020 because enough swing voters will think anyone is better than Trump against a Dem candidate that will have become the victim of a long smear campaign. It's too damn early for Dems to be worried too much about winning the next election!

  12941. R. McBride - That's the problem, and it would be a gamble. But what I would hope for is the necessary number of Republican Senators changing their minds after an avalanche of bad conduct by Trump and his people comes out. There are, like, 14 criminal probes into Trump and his kids ongoing now - for tax evasion, charity fraud, emoluments violations, FEC violations...but yeah, Republicans do seem insanely loyal to him.

  12953.  @Superabound2  - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

That's ANY crime, and you can't impeach for jaywalking. What if a President decided to stop working and sit around all day watching TV? It's not a crime, but obviously, you'd have to oust that President. I think, maybe, the framers meant, by "misdemeanor", things not necessarily crimes, but unacceptable for an elected official. Anyone know? (Left myself wide open for Trump troll attack, didn't I?)

Lemme get this straight - He's condescendingly saying we're "wrong!" about who he means is being dishonest, but he won't tell us who that is. And he won't specify what "dishonest" things they're actually saying. Makes sense.

  12987. What racist/bigoted things has Trump said? : The "shithole" comment. Saying he didn't want blacks to count his money, but wanted Jews to count it. Calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas". The Obama birther nonsense. The NFL. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling "the snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. THE DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. He repeatedly refuses to denounce hate groups that claim his support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. (What's to know? An infamous racist). He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He condescends to black people. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination as a landlord. He had two racists as advisors (Steve "platform for the alt-right" Bannon and Stephen Miller, who is closely associated with Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute). He has tried to ban Muslims from this country. He only hires token blacks when he hires them at all (Ben Carson for HUD, Amorosa as a black liason). He refuses to acknowledge terrorism by whites. Think about it - He is the President, and after getting feedback that his words are offensive to many, HE REPEATS THEM! Why does he "go there" repeatedly? After his shithole comments, his associates said he was PROUD OF IT. It isn't hard to see how he plays to the racists in his base. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects their support? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them! He shouldn't even have to be told. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you or support you. You have no place in our country". Would a decent person be okay with hate groups crowning them their leader?? This isn't the Russia probe. It isn't a matter of being found "not guilty" of bigotry because a prosecutor couldn't prove it beyond a doubt. It is the PERCEPTION. These are fair criticisms. We've seen this before - Germany, in the 1930's! It isn't like we're arguing whether people are being too sensitive over someone saying "ghetto" or "nigga" without the hard R. This is a pattern with Trump. What non-bigot wouldn't want to avoid the language he uses? What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? He is a BIGOT WHO PANDERS TO RACISTS! It is OBVIOUS!

  12994. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

Have you seen how he acts in the media? Ever read his tweets? Roger Stone BRAGGED about being in touch with Julian Assange and the very hackers who invaded our electoral process, who worked for Russian intelligence. That's ASKING FOR IT!

  13014. Just like Trump, Mr. Technicality, always leaving just enough reasonable doubt - about his racist remarks. About admitting the Russians attacked the election... We let it go, but then HE KEEPS DOING IT over and over again! Once, even twice, might be his inability to articulate, (See, the topic is race, but nobody would question my use of the word as racist), but repeatedly? Coupled with his ACTIONS and obvious lack of SINCERITY? Trump sure was reluctant to condemn the neo-Nazis after Charlottesville. If it was me, nobody would have to tell me to write a tweet strongly saying, "Hate groups, I do not want your support or your vote!" I wouldn't sleep knowing those hate groups SAY THAT HE SUPPORTS THEM! And there would be no question in ANYONE'S MIND that I believed the Russians attacked our election. But there's Trump - AFTER HELSINKI - just days ago, tweeting, "... If it was Russia", and repeating that, "Could be China" bullshit. I call bullshit on him, and I call bullshit on this gubernatorial candidate. WE KNOW THEIR INTENTIONS!

  13030. kelperdude - There is a world of difference between BLM and Antifa. Antifa is a group of about 50 idiots, and nobody condones their actions. There's a huge difference. At BLM riots, violence by a small percentage broke out at 7% of demonstrations against a real, continuing problem. Most rioters were opportunists there to steal and cause chaos. Most couldn't care less about partisan politics, or even knew much about it. It wasn't exclusively Dems. It's a cause championed more by liberals because most Black people vote Democrat, as Republicans largely ignore them. At the Capitol, violence was the goal of a much larger percentage. They were protesting over a lie spread by many, many Republicans and the POTUS himself. They weren't opportunists from DC there to loot and take advantage of the chaos. They stormed the building immediately. It was a purely political coup attempt with a level of coordination far surpassing that of the street rioters in those cities.

  13031. Evil Bastard - Negotiate in good faith? Did you watch that meeting with Schumer and Pelosi that Trump had put on the air? Within 4 minutes, he had given up, and was trying to dismiss the press. That's where he said "We need border security" about a dozen times, and insisted that border security equals a wall, and that was that. No more negotiation. He said he would be "proud" to shut down the government, and would own it. He refused to own it. That's negotiating in good faith? Without a plan or proposal? About something a majority of the public opposes? He ignores the statistics. Hell, he LIES about the statistics - about drugs, crime, and terrorism at the border. He keeps saying Dems don't want border security, and that they want crime! You call THAT good faith? That's not something you cancel a vacation to listen to, and he's got some nerve, considering how much time he spends golfing and visiting his own properties!

  13032. Evil Bastard - It's not complicated. Dems will fund almost any border security measure except a huge, single project that will cost tens of billions of dollars. It doesn't matter what the initial amount is. Once approved, this wall would have to be funded to completion, and it will end up costing way more than $25 billion. Trump can't even decide what this wall/fence/slat thing will be. He refuses to address the fact that half of his promise is that Mexico will pay. He can't explain how they will pay. He dismissively says, "I have lots of ways". No. He doesn't. He can't show the numbers. Go to a bank and try to get a loan that way.

  13035. The only way the MAGA crowd will realize what kind of dangerous buffoon it elected will be if Hollywood makes a movie. It should be a dark comedy, maybe by the Cohen brothers or Tarantino. Oliver Stone has already lost his mind. They need 2 hours of fact-is-crazier-than-fiction to describe what's been going on for the past 4 years. Change the names, but not the events or the quotes. Real news footage, even though they'll call it "fake". Anyone see the old episode of The Simpsons, where Trump was President in a dystopian future for 7 minutes? They tried to warn us. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight in a feature-length film..? (I was thinking about a line in Dogma, where Alan Rickman's character says something like, "You Americans. If it's not in a movie, it's not worth knowing, now is it?") For three years, I've been waiting for Obama to publish his memoirs to show some contrast to the buffoon. Now we know they're coming out in November. A little late, Barack. But it doesn't surprise me, because true to form, Obama is deliberate, careful, and self critical. True to form, Donald Trump is a bull in a china shop who only thinks about himself, but is incapable of being self-critical.

  13047. Matt Beckley - That is the DUMBEST example. They reported the facts. Smollett lied, not the media! When media bashers say "The media lie," they can almost never name a specific lie. When outlets report a fact, 99% of the time, it is accurate. It would be a little closer to the truth to say the media DECEIVE. That's far from deliberately mis-stating facts. Usually when I ask a media basher to name some lies the media have told, I get, "Trump colluded with Russia, Nick Sandmann, and Jussie Smollett." Those replies are nonsense. First, Trump DID collude with Russia. Collusion means COOPERATION, which he clearly did. It's not a legal term. Collusion does not mean "found guilty of criminal conspiracy." But set that point aside. The facts made Trump look guilty. When it was reported that three of Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for favors, that was a FACT. No reporter said, "Don Jr took a flash drive from a Russian agent." That would be a lie. The facts looked bad, so naturally the opinions in editorials were negative. Let's say media report that a man's wife is missing and her husband had blood in his car, gunshot residue on his hands, and lied to police. Editorials about domestic violence would cast the husband in a negative light, and nobody would say the media were lying. Jussie Smollett lied to police, and media simply reported the facts. The suggestion that somehow the media know the truth about things nobody else knows is absurd. Believing that they deceive us every time a story makes a liberal look bad is ridiculous, especially when the liberal isn't even a politician, and the story has nothing to do with politics. Nick Sandmann is the exception that proves the rule. The media didn't lie. They mis-characterized. It was a mistake, and they paid for it. If deception was standard practice, news outlets would have been sued out of existence long ago. Also, there is no objective truth in that story. It's based on what was going on in Sandmann's head, and what his intentions were. There are many news outlets, many stories, and many reports every day. Media bashers love to say "the media" as if it's one homogeneous, connected group. So, even when a reporter makes a mistake or even lies, to paint the entire industry as liars is as absurd as saying "Starbucks cheats you" because a barista once over-charged you for a scone. The same type of conservative who says, "It's just a bad apple" when a trigger-happy cop shoots an unarmed person will call the entire media a group of serial liars when a single reporter makes a mistake. There is a LOT I don't like about news media, and I don't believe everything I hear. But I assume simple facts are accurate unless there's real reason to believe otherwise. On rare occasions when the facts they report are inaccurate, I first assume they made a mistake before I start conjuring up wild conspiracy theories. People should simply recognize the difference between FACT and OPINION. "16 Trump associates lied about their contacts with Russia" is a FACT. "All of their lying makes them look like they're hiding something" is an OPINION, but it's also a reasonable opinion to have. News outlets compete with each other, often by way of sensationalism. They aim to get the facts right because if ABC gets it wrong, CBS will get it right. Sponsors are their masters, not the DNC. (That idea is laughable. Media have WAY more money and power than the DNC, which is made up of mid-level politicians who can't get elected to office). For the same reason, media don't block stories about dirty politicians just because they're Democrats. They're not the sole gatekeepers of information. Notice that the "liberal" media promptly reported on the Hunter Biden investigation. It's a sensational story. They work for sponsors. It makes no sense to limit themselves to half of the market. It's ironic that the biggest media bashers nowadays are fervent Trump supporters who complain about bias. Trump coordinates with FOX News, and he habitually lies. Those people are hypocrites at best, but usually it's flat-out projection. Hypocrisy is accusing others of what you also do. Projection is accusing the innocent of what you do. It's notable that during Trump's first month in office, he actually told the press corp, "If you're going to hold us to getting every little thing right, I'm just going to stop having these press briefings." Yes, he actually said that.

It's good that it was charity and all, but his charity was dissolved, and it's being investigated for what the NY AG calls a "shocking pattern of illegality".

  13056. 16 Trump associates lied about having contact with Russians after denying ANY, and Trump, himself, admitted firing the FBI Director over Russia. Trump wouldn't do anything about, or even admit the Russian interference. His top people met with them to trade dirt for sanction relief. Are you people serious?? You really think that's not enough reason to investigate?? But a couple of texts, given no context, that lead nowhere, to nobody else, is proof of a coup attempt?? By way of a probe that even Trump said exonerated him?? What the hell is wrong with you people? Do ANY OF YOU have the balls to say you would be okay with it if Hillary or Obama did and said the same things?? Anyone??

Democrats lose about half of all elections, and most liberals weren't thrilled about Hillary. We can't get over an election? We're "butthurt"? YOU idiots need to get over it. It's not about who lost. It's about who won. An inept, inexperienced, extremist, habitually lying, USEFUL IDIOT, useful to domestic special interests as well as Vladimir Putin.

  13062.  @michaelwilliamson4759  There were white supremacists groups there, and Trump knew it. The Proud Boys isca white nationalist group. Proof that Trump incited the riot? "Let's have trial by combat!" - Rudy Giuliani, at the rally right before the riot. "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever." - Donald Trump, following the riot. "If she gets to pick her judges...There's nothing you can do, folks...Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people..." - Donald Trump, 2016. (That statement got him questioned by the Secret Service). "Knock the hell out of 'em. I'll pay your legal bills." - Donald Trump, referring to opponents at a rally. Trump expressed support for extremists who surrounded a Biden/Harris bus on the highway. He echoed the demands of the terrorists after they were caught plotting to kidnap and kill the Governor of Michigan. He stirred-up a mob to go after Mike Pence for not doing what he literally could not do under any circumstances. How would you have felt about that if it was Obama and his lawyer? You know damn well how you'd feel. Again, it's absurd to suggest that people calling FOR the Guard called them off. Duh. Neither McCarthy or Trump dispute what was said in that phone call, nor does Trump dispute that he argued AGAINST calling in backup and calling off the mob. And you're only throwing out baseless suspicions anyway about "editing". Trump attacked Pence on Twitter AS THE RIOT ENSUED. But naw, someone who ENCOURAGED IT AS IT HAPPENED wouldn't have wanted it in the first place, huh?? Do you hear yourself??

  13063.  @michaelwilliamson4759  Removed WHAT "important parts" of the speech? "Look at all of the things he said that WEREN'T a call to riot."? The Republicans didn't even argue that during the impeachment trial. "Deceitfulness" of the media? It takes some kind of nerve and denial for a Trump supporter to say that. He lied over 22,000 times in 4 years! Can it be he was addressing his peaceful supporters? Hell no! Did he SAY that?? Are you fucking kidding? After all of the trouble he brought upon himself after Charlottesville, saying "Stand back and stand by," echoing the demands of terrorists who plotted to kidnap the Governor of Michigan...he was just like, "Oops! How could they think I was addressing the mob?" My God, man, it's just too fucking stupid to waste any more time arguing with your ignorant ass. You make me sick.

  13065.  @michaelwilliamson4759  Did you complain about Trump being a Russian puppet? These are FACTS: - Trump is the only leader of a NATO member nation who didn't condemn Putin for poisoning an opposition leader. - Trump promoted the Kremlin's own material attacking Joe Biden. - The Trump Administration stopped giving intelligence briefings to Congress on Russian election interference. - After reports of Russia paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US soldiers, Trump did nothing except call news reports "fake." - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - Trump inexplicably moved to pull a third of the US troop force out of Germany shortly after a call with Putin. - Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government at the infamous Trump Tower meeting to trade illegally obtained information about Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump proposed scrapping the European Reassurance Initiative that imposed sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, and quietly defunded it. - Trump lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that required Kremlin approval, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - Trump tried to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump resisted the expulsion of Russian diplomats from compounds in the US as a response to their meddling in the 2016 election. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  13066.  @michaelwilliamson4759  I said The Proud Boys is a white NATIONALIST group, and of course Trump knew white supremacists were there. They were carrying Confederate flags. When Trump was asked about the Proud Boys, he said, "Stand back and stand by." If he was just "misunderstood," then his piss-poor messaging alone proves he's unqualified to lead. If it quacks and waddles for four years, it's a duck. A President who lied over 22,000 TIMES in four years should not be believed. It's his own fault. Would you take the word of anyone you know who lies and gets "misunderstood" THAT OFTEN?? What does his post riot tweet insinuate? He basically said "That's what you get for stealing the election from me"! He told McCarthy, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are"! He was the PRESIDENT, and rioters were attacking THE CAPITOL on his behalf. It was his DUTY to end it immediately. He should have been disgusted by the people he validated by calling them "special" and telling them their cause was just. Did he seem disgusted? He did the same after the plot to kidnap Whitmer. Who cares if he believed what the terrorists believe? YOU DON'T SAY THAT after she was almost kidnapped and killed! Do you really not understand that? Imagine a leader validating an ISIS terrorist's ideology right after he's caught planting a bomb, knowing there are more unstable terrorists minds out there ready to act, waiting for the green light! Do you seriously think Trump wasn't happy about the riot? He passed a point a long time ago where he could say his words were being twisted. As President, he should have learned to better articulate. He was informed repeatedly BY THE FBI that his words were dangerous. He's the worst kind of bigot, the kind who uses it to wield power. In 2016, he went around telling that "snake" story in reference to Muslims. The moral is that they'll betray you because IT'S IN THEIR NATURE. What kind of politician talks that way? What kind of politician opens their campaign saying undocumented Mexicans are rapists? His "denunciations" were deliberately ambiguous disclaimers. Apparently his denunciations were inadequate because THE RACISTS SAY HE SUPPORTS THEM. If I was being praised by those people, I would denounce them on Twitter EVERY DAY until they stopped. He sure could find time to denounce celebrities and personal enemies. He obviously wanted racists' votes. When you refuse to reach out to the majority, you need every vote you can get from your own side of the aisle. Trump defenders love to excuse him by twisting the context to fit his words and try to make his lies technically true. The problem there is that there is literal truth, but there is also face-value meaning and SINCERITY. He can't fake his insincerity. His lawyer said, "Let's have trial by combat" before the attack as Trump cheered him on. I don't need the media to tell me how to feel. I heard his words, saw his actions, and heard the FACTS accurately reported on the news. I don't care about their opinions. Maybe you can be the first to actually answer this question - If Obama or Biden did what I'm criticizing Trump for, would you be okay with it?

  13069. Saying "There's no collusion" over and over doesn't cut it. Trump has some explaing to do. If it's a Democrat/Clinton hoax, how did this hoax work? Who was involved? How could they have pulled-off this hoax WITHOUT involving certain people and/or agencies? Can he explain why 9 of his associates lied about Russian contacts? Why does Trump refuse to even acknowledge the Russian attack when his own son met with them for the stated purpose of interfering? What did he know and when did he know about the Trump Tower meeting? Flynn talking to the FBI? Papadopoulos seeking to meet with the Russians? Carter Page going to Moscow? The party platform change? Maybe it's all a big misunderstanding, and Trump, Mueller, and the lawyers will be laughing about it over drinks down at the Regal Beagle afterward. (eye roll).

  13072. T. M - Wow, you are mixed-up on the facts. Where is the evidence of bribery with Uranium One? The State Department was one of nine agencies that had to sign-off on that deal - that only Obama had the power to veto - so unless they can prove 1)- That Hillary was using the Clinton Foundation as a slush fund (no evidence), and 2)- Eight other agency heads plus Obama took bribes, there is nothing there. The "briber" didn't even have a stake in the company when the deal was made. But tell me, WTF does anything involving Clinton have to do with Trump? But yeah, Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense. If you're going the "Seth Rich" route, you must be saying she DIDN'T want the DNC emails leaked, and killed him fir revenge. (for leaking emails that didn't even show any corruption. BTW, the FBI told Clinton to smash the cell phones, and she deleted what she said were personal emails. What's your evidence they weren't? And Clinton was not on house arrest.

I'd write-in independent candidates for the rest of my life. Trump followers are blindly biased tribalists. We're supposed to reserve that kind of devotion for our hometown football team. I expect the mothers of credibly accused criminals to swear up and down that their kids are innocent. Trump followers are like Catholic bishops who protect pedophile priests. Like police chiefs who protect dirty cops. The hypocrisy is INSANE! Half of Trump's campaign staffers were reaching-out to the Russian government, but HILLARY COLLUDED with Russia?? Trump bears NO responsibility for his rhetoric, and for directly, LITERALLY endorsing violence, but they'll accuse the left of inciting violence?? Character mattered when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, but they give Trump a blank check?? Obama "ruined the country" by raising the national debt, but Trump putting the deficit into the TRILLIONS to give the 1% a tax break is just fine?? Lying (miscalculating) the benefits of the ACA made Obama an insufferable liar, but it's okay if Trump lies about EVERYTHING?? They don't care that Trump is FLAT-OUT LYING about protecting pre-existing condition protections?? The news is "fake" when they show video of Trump, himself, in the flesh, saying stupid and offensive things?? Trump followers are indistinguishable from cult members and Russian propaganda trolls.

He lives the unexamined life. All that money and means for whatever he wants, but he's always angry. He's hellbent on revenge against perceived enemies with whom he started conflict in the first place. I doubt he's ever been happy a day in his life. If he wasn't so repulsive, I'd feel sorry for him.

  13087. Suspicions about Trump and Russia (Keep in mind that most of these happened AFTER Donald Trump knew the Russians were attacking our election): - AGAINST the advice of the US military and Secretary of Defense, Trump is pulling troops out of Syria. ("Rapidly", a day before Putin's big, 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. - 16 Trump associates lied about 87 contacts with Russian nationals and government surrogates after Trump said there were NO CONTACTS. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" Yeah, Mike. Why would there be? - The Trump Tower meeting. (Quid pro quo. Dirt for sanction relief). - 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". - Trump is reputed to have lied about how long he'd negotiated to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It was after he'd announced he had no deals in or with Russia, and none that "could happen". He signed a letter of intent. - 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. - 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). - Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, was a lobbyist for Russian interests. He helped install a pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine. He was found guilty of failing to register as a foreign agent, among other things. - At the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign requested ONE change - to end material support for Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression. - 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. (SHE has more balls than Trump). Since taking office, Trump has defunded and refused to fully staff the State Department. - The Steele dossier has NOT been discredited. If you think that was somehow Hillary colluding with Russia, see above. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - "Think (Putin) will be my new bff?" - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - 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. - Trump has never expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for (supposedly) dealing with Russians, behind his back, during the campaign, even though they'd "brought the heat" onto him over Russia. - The OBVIOUS. Russia was helping Trump win, and Trump has no sense of patriotism because he never had any desire to learn even the basic history of the country he's always longed to lead. He never wanted to be a LEADER. He wants to be the BOSS. He wants ATTENTION, like a child in tantrum. Any attention is good attention. ("Look at my crowd size and my ratings"). Intelligence has a ?? (I always forget that word) Not an anagram. Not an abbreviation... what's the word? Anyway, MICE. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Money - "The Donald" is famous for being rich, like a reality star is famous for being famous for nothing. Didn't Trump have a reality show? Ideology - He has none. Compromise - Doesn't he say he knows about "dirt", "rats", and "flippers"? It's well-known he was in cahoots with the New York/Italian mafia to use cheap concrete to build his shitty buildings. His lawyer, Giuliani, is Italian, and reputed to have mob ties. What's the second biggest organized crime organization in the world? (hint: Russian). Go ahead, Google this stuff, and Google "Felix Sater Trump" while you're at it. Ego - Need I say more? 3 out of 4 ain't bad. "He makes the perfect front man. He don't know too much" - Joe Pesci line from "Casino". Wouldn't Trump be Putin's wet dream? Come on, you Trump-loving nut-jobs. Put your crazy heads on a conspiracy theory that might actually prove true. I know you like the ones like Clinton/deep state - the ones where you think your OWN government is out to fuck you over. But Trump/Russia is actually solvable.

  13096. A Trump follower calling Biden senile, crooked or racist is like the ocean calling a puddle wet.

  13097. Put the racial element aside for a moment. - Trump lied and said those four Congresswomen are communist. - He said that four duly elected Congresswomen hate their country "with a passion". - The President of the UNITED STATES said that, in AMERICA, if you criticize the leadership, you should leave. - The HYPOCRISY of Trump complaining about complaints is astounding. He complains so often on Twitter that he doesn't even spell-check his tweets. How professional. He is the PRESIDENT. Even the Kardashians hire people to write and manage their Twitter accounts. He complains about politicians, actors, businessmen, and even SNL. Imagine that, SNL doing sattire about the President. He's a New Yorker who has HOSTED SNL! He said he was going to "shake things up", but he can't take criticism?? In AMERICA?!? Now, add the racial element to it. - He used a classic racist trope on four ethnic minority women, telling them they should go back to their home countries. - He was extremely deceitful in that because only one of them was born, as a child, outside of the US. - Whether or not HE thinks his tweet was racist and/or wrong for other reasons, he got feedback afterward. The feedback told him that a huge number, if not a majority of people in the country he leads were offended by it. Still, he doubled down on it! - Kellyanne Conway took it even further, saying that what Trump meant by where you should go back to was the country of your ancestors! - Trump has a HISTORY of saying things like this. In a normal presidency, when does this kind of thing come up even once, much less a dozen times? Before he was elected, he was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He entered politics by going after Obama's heritage. When he announced his candidacy, he called illegal Mexicans rapists. - Leaders of race-based hate groups are praising him, and he sees NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! The FBI sees something wrong with it. - No, it isn't "just words". Those words lead to unrest and violence. Look at Nazi Germany. Trump repeats the STALIN phrase, "enemy of the people", and domestic terrorists have since used those words to threaten news organizations. - "What about Rep. Omar's antisemetic remarks"? Those remarks criticized the greed of a COUNTRY, not a religion. They were one incident, made by a freshman Congresswoman, that WERE rebuked by members of her own party. What are people who use that line saying, anyway? That bigoted statements by public officials are okay? The gaslighting and HYPOCRISY by the Republican party is astounding. Mitch McConnell's wife, just like Ilian Omar, came to the US as a child. But when asked about that, Mcconnell launced into rhetoric about the American dream - while defending Trump! I've heard Conservatives say that because Trump hired Mcconnell's wife and Ben Carson, that's proof he isn't racist. Seriously? Furthermore, if Trump ISN'T racist, he should be appalled that racists do think he is racist. If he isn't racist, shouldn't he feel terrible that so many of his statements are taken by so many of his people AS RACIST?! Oh, yeah, he doesn't see Democrats and Americans who criticize him AS his people. He has stated that by stating that they hate America "with a passion" and should leave. America has a history of racial problems. The 20th Century has a history of it. Racial hate crimes are on the rise sharply since Trump took office. So, to have the nerve to gaslight, and act like we have no reason for concern is absolutely disgusting. I suggest some of you Youtube Trump trolls take a look at some videos showing how Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio were describing him BEFORE Trump was elected. And I suggest you ask yourself what you would think if Hillary Clinton or a Democrat said even half of what Trump says.

  13098. Don - "Officer, my money was stolen." Cop - "Who do you think did it?" Don - "Joe, his friends, and everyone who likes him more than me." Cop - "Why do you think that?" Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  13100. I'm just waiting for Trump to piss Nikki Haley off enough to actually get competitive and say, "Hell no, I won't quit. I'm coming for YOU, Biden. Trump is just some crap in my way!" Did I mention I'm a Democrat? I can't be the only one who feels this way. I like Biden, but would rather see him lose to Haley than even run against Trump again. At least the country could try to unify.

  13107. Imagine this scenario: The Russians launch a cyber attack on election day, and they conceal that its origin is Russia. They don't hit the voting machines, most of which are not online, but they hit the surrounding systems. Maybe they screw with the power grid, and the power goes out at polling locations - of which there will already be fewer, with more people waiting. People leave those long lines and go home. The votes will already not be totaled on election day because of the increase in mail-in ballots. People will already be confused because of all of the changes to polling sites, drop boxes, and mailboxes. Trump blames China or "a fat guy on his bed" for the cyber attack. He says that it looks like China, but "we don't really know because you have to catch them in the act," (which is untrue). The CIA says it wasn't China, but Trump followers dismiss that as the "deep state" helping Biden this time. Biden voters know Trump either knowingly cheated or neglectfully let chaos happen. Trump voters are sure that the left is trying to oust a duly elected president again. Everyone is pissed. Protests, which Trump will call riots no matter what, break out in every major "Democrat" city. Think about what happens from there.

  13108. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks a few FBI agents or Antifa members could incite a riot on the spot, but that Trump, Giuliani, and Stone couldn't possibly incite one with months of inflammatory rhetoric. It was the FBI and Antifa, but they don't want an investigation. Makes sense.
    1
  13120. We need a Special Council for the Capitol riot. They're appointed when objectivity is especially needed in a politically charged situation. I think that applies here, as Republicans continue to minimize and defend the former POS POTUS who inspired it, was gleeful when it happened, and refused to denounce the attackers. Just like with Russia, they can insist Trump wasn't culpable, but an investigation had to happen whether it would lead back to him or not. It would be bizarre to watch a former US President rage against a probe into an attack on one of our highest-value potential terrorist targets, worried (for good reason?) that it will lead to him.

  13125. A little exercise to test your own bias: Think of every time you've defended Donald Trump and every issue on which you've criticized his opposition - Russia, COVID 19, media coverage, false statements, foreign affairs...If you search Google or Youtube, what do you type into the box? Now, on those same issues, replace his face with that of Obama or Hillary Clinton. Replace that R with a D. Do you find yourself rationalizing? I am confident that on 99% of those issues, you would take the OPPOSITE position. If you doubt me, just wait. When a Democrat is in the White House again, you'll find yourself being hyper-critical of that Democrat for issues on which you previously excused Trump, or you'll be saying "what about?" about the "what about?" I guarantee it.

  13131. McConnell was around when they impeached Bill Clinton, a true witch hunt. It started with an investigation into a land deal in Arkansas. When they couldn't find anything there, instead of dropping the matter, they got him for one lie about sex. Every single one of those Republican House members at the impeachment vote yesterday only projected, and said the Dems are doing exactly what THEY are doing. Every argument was, "You just hate him". It's ridiculous.
    1
  13132.  @mentos93  WTF are you talking about? No, it isn't a witch hunt. The Bill Clinton impeachment was a witch hunt. They got him on one lie about his personal life because he was under oath, yet Republicans aren't outraged at Trump's CONSTANT lying, and don't want Trump under oath. The Starr investigation found nothing but an extramarital affair. The Mueller investigation found tons of obstruction and collusion. Yes, COLLUSION with Russia. Trump wasn't charged with CONSPIRACY because Mueller couldn't prove malicious intent, (just like with Hillary Clinton and her emails, but Republicans won't accept that one), because he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know what he was doing.

  13135. Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you talk about climate change, a lot of people hear "culture war", and they tune out. But when you call it POLLUTION, more people listen. If you call the current movement a battle against racism, a lot of people hear "culture war". They make it about politics and tune out. If you call it a struggle to end POLICE BRUTALITY, more people will listen. Yes, the brutality is largely feuled by racism, but cops brutalize whites, too. We can and should demand legislation to end it. You can't demand an end to racism or legislate it away. It's a matter of STRATEGY. If you demand to DEFUND the police departments, you will be called an anarchist liberal, and you create conflict between the cops and the public. Aren't we trying to bring the two together? Those crying "defund!" will say, "But what we mean by 'defund' is RESTRUCTURE". Well, then just call it RESTRUCTURING. Strategize. Think.

  13138. I don't think it would be considered "going low" when they go low, for Democratic politicians to start calling Trump "Lyin' Don". It's using irony to make a point. At the top of every news program, the media should have a segment that takes 3 minutes or so to list and debunk every falsehood Trump had uttered in the past 24 hours. The frog is boiling. It should be absolutely unacceptable that the President is an habitual liar.

  13139. There was plenty of probable cause for the FBI counterintelligence probe into Russian interference. It was their DUTY. There was probable cause for the FISA warrant on Carter Page, and for the Mueller probe. There was nothing illegal about Dems hiring the oppo research firm, Fusion GPS, a firm first hired by the Republicans. There was no quid pro quo between the author of the dossier and the Russian government. Trump calls these "witch hunts" as he does nothing but engages in witch hunts himself.

Based on the fact that you are so tribal and biased that you assume ANYONE who criticises your dear leader MUST be a partisan hack, even though you have no idea who they are.

  13152. The FBI is NOT full of politicians. Who works for the FBI? Cops. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to be policy makers. They wanted to bust criminals. They didn't get into politics. Politics got into them. In 2016, they were investigating two unpopular political candidates - both for good reason. If you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans. Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are Conservatives. Why is it a stretch to believe FBI agents wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might change once he got elected. We thought he might stop lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal FBI" shit is nonsense.

  13164. America is about to suffer four years of a former President of the United States constantly attacking his successor. He'll go to extremes in disrespectful, crude, and immature ways. 99% of what he'll say will be lies. This time, he'll get more attention than when he attacked his predecessor-to-be for years over a lie about his birth certificate. Now, he'll have more support and more funding. He'll add insult to the literal insults and injuries he inflicted with an armed insurrection, which was also based on a lie. Yet his party still supports him, even those in Congress who were physically at the deadly riot at the UNITED STATES Capitol with the mob coming for them and their colleagues. His party is telling the truth that there was a coup, but telling the lie that they're the victims. With the attack in progress, the POTUS literally encouraged rioters to go after his always loyal VP as a gallows made just for him waited outside. Once called "America's Mayor," the President's lawyer rallied a crowd with White Nationalist groups and men with Confederate flags among them, yelling "Let's have trial by combat!" immediately before the attack. The POTUS stood just off stage and cheered. Twenty, or even ten years ago, if someone told me this would be the state of America in 2021, I would have called them crazy. It's embarrassing, frustrating and a little frightening all at once. This country has fallen ill, and I'm not talking about the pandemic.

  13168.  @earlofmar7987  - Nice ridiculous talking points. Again, you're just showing how biased and misinformed you are. You obviously don't understand how much effect a president has on these things you're talking about. Afghanistan? Trump's surrender plan that did not include the Afghan government. A plan he admitted to structuring so that the next president couldn't stop it. The border? The economy? Do you think the last guy had nothing to do with that? The economy is bad because of COVID. How did Trump handle that one? He was basically on the side of the disease. And I thought he fixed the border. Are you saying he did what no other president could do for 40 years (even without his wall), and then Biden screwed it back up somehow in the span of a year? Learn something about what you're saying or don't say ridiculous things.

  13171.  Anthony S2K04  50% of voters say they would not vote for Trump under any circumstances. Know why you sound like such a fool? "He WILL win." Really? No doubt? There's no arguing with unreasonable people. Tell me, WHY would anyone fake an election poll to favor who they favor. I'm dead serious. Nobody has EVER goven me an answer to why ANYONE would, much less a concerted effort among the MSM and independent polling organizations who literally exist to be accurate. Give it your best shot. Tell me, WHY WOULD ANYONE MANIPULATE AN ELECTION POLL? I can give you many reasons they would NOT. But wanna know who did pay for fake online polls in 2016? Trump. That's a fact. Why? Because he is an idiot who never thought about how little sense it makes.

  13175. Trump cooked the books to launder money. The FEC also dinged him on $1.3 million in mis-spent campaign funds, but we really don't care about that. Obama's FEC violations were for missed deadlines and clerical mistakes. If it had been known that Trump was working on a Trump Tower Moscow project and that he had those affairs, it might have swung the election to Clinton. What Trump did was serious.

  13181. "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed". That's not true. If you watch, you are under-informed. If you confuse the NARRATIVE and EDITORIAL with the FACTS, you are misinformed. Sure, the media make mistakes, but mistakes aren't lies. I'd rather know half a story that's spun the wrong way than to know nothing. Yes, MSM is sensationalized. Yes, they use narratives to sell the story. They have to. I cringe whenever I hear "BREAKING NEWS!" about every little thing. Take it with a grain of salt. Extract the facts. Wikileaks is not news. Youtube hack videos are not news. They just talk about what MSM reports. Trump's Tweets are not news. Saying it gets him around the "fake" media is absurd. It gets him around due scrutiny. (with grammar errors no college educated man should ever make. FOX News isn't even news. Sean Hannity coordinates stories with Trump. And his followers say the "liberal" media is biased? FOX has no competition on TV. Competition is what keeps them honest. If CNN gets it wrong, ABC, NBC and PBS will get it right and get higher ratings. Free market Capitalists should know that. You MSM bashers are so much more biased than they are, and it's obvious.

  13182. I wonder what they found in Cohen's office. Just musing here, but what if they found half a kilo of coke in a desk drawer? Maybe some scales? A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession. Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police". He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us? Trump is using the OJ Simpson defense - "You can't PROVE I DID IT because the lead detective was a racist and I'm black". I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

  13186. Trump's racist history Notice the legal judgements and direct quotes that he has said publicly and admits to saying. Before you Trump followers say, "What about Biden?" I'll say that any reasonable person can see that the unintended consequences of the '94 crime bill - that Biden admits was a mistake - and Biden's few, well-intended, awkward racial gaffes don't even start to compare to Trump's racist history, for which he is unapologetic. If you use whataboutism and say "Dems are the racists who started the Klan," I'll point out 1)- How long ago that was. 2)- Dems always get around 90% of the black vote. 3)- Literally every racial hate group in America supports Republican politicians and candidates. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

  13188.  @vcruz8074  Wrong. Drugs and money were not found to change hands, and no drugs were found. But that's beside the point. How much drugs? What drugs? Who was dealing? You think those kinds of raids are justified if anyone buys any amount of drugs anywhere?

We have LOST the war on drugs. People are being killed, maimed, and given ridiculously long jail sentences for a victimless crime. And yes, it is VICTIMLESS. It is the activities surrounding them that create victims.

  13191. China wants Trump in power. They can manipulate him. They can bribe him. He approved of their concentration camps. He caved on Hong Kong. His trade war is a failure - nothing but an import tax on US companies. When Trump tells you China is helping Biden, don't believe it. Don't believe that absurd lie about Biden somehow taking a BILLION DOLLAR Chinese bribe. Biden wants to ACTUALLY move manufacturing back to the US, not just lie about it like Trump is doing.

  13195. After the Russian ex-spy assassinations in Britain, I worried the Russians would pull something like that with US citizens. Now, the Saudis have basically done that, and Trump made it a point to say, "He wasn't a US citizen, right?" Then, he said - for at least the second time - that he won't reject Saudis because of money. First it was at least HIS real estate money and HIS own morals. Now, it's OUR money and OUR morals.

  13207. Do Republicans notice that they have power? For the first 2 years of Trump, they had the House, Senate, White House, and a conservative SCOTUS majority. They only lost the House, but pretend they're oppressed by liberal boogeymen - Socialists, media, the deep state, gun control, and BLM. There's no socialist threat. There are only two socialists in Congress. Bernie LOST the primary to Biden, who is accused of being a capitalist, corporate shill. We pass laws bill by bill. Hyper capitalism is as problematic as hyper socialism. ALL governments are somewhat socialist. It's about balancing community and the individual, public and private sectors. Stop fearing a Marxist revolution. Venezuela isn't Cuba isn't the USSR, Canada, or France. Which is it? Are the media "socialist liberals" or "corporate capitalists"? People who think there's a leftist, deep state conspiracy don't know how things work. Only 20% want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and nobody wants to repeal the 4th. If you think Dems want confiscation, remember Beto O'Rourke? Soon, you won't. BLM has a messaging problem, but a just cause. We have a police brutality problem. Anti-racism isn't racist. Rioters appear at protests like flies at picnics. They're usually thugs who don't care about social justice or politics. The Black Panthers won't replace police. We had a black president, and many Republicans say he didn't do enough to empower minorities.

  13208. It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival. The Clinton email thing has been adjudicated. The 2016 election is over, and it is a FACT that the Russians interfered in Trump's favor. The Biden non-issue has been looked into by TWO prosecutors in Ukraine, not to mention it was the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for that was under suspicion, not Hunter Biden, and not his father. On the other hand, 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts during the election. Trump lied about pending deals in Moscow, in a country that was actively trying to get him elected. Trump's top people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump still refuses to admit Russia even interfered, and he's still doing all he can to lift sanctions imposed on them for that very interference. In 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to interfere, and after all of the problems that caused, he is doing it AGAIN. This isn't a "deep state" conspiracy. Trump's wounds are self-inflicted, and he is BEGGING to be probed and impeached.

  13214.  @bradleyriles3889  - Are you kidding? He's absolutely relevant here because he did this: Donald Trump... - Inherited a plan to contain a pandemic, but chose not to use it because it was commissioned by the Obama Administration. - Accused a doctor of faking a makeshift COVID ward set up in a parking garage. - Neglected to refill medical stockpiles for 3 years. - Mistakenly predicted that, "like a miracle," COVID would go away. - Repeatedly falsely claimed we were "rounding the corner" on COVID. - Pushed snake oil cures and touted an endorsement by a "doctor" who said COVID was a result of "demon sperm". - Left states to fend for themselves, forcing them into a bidding war against each other. - Pushed hydroxychloroquin as a cure despite virtually all experts saying it had not been proven, even as a treatment. When one of his claims was rebuked by a scientist, Trump responded, "I don't think science knows." - Echoed the demands of domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and hold a mock trial for the Governor of Michigan because of her COVID restrictions. - Re-routed CDC data through the White House, where it was censored and re-worded. - Removed the WHO's pandemic team from China months before it hit the US. - Shamelessly politicized the disease, calling it a Democrat hoax. - Repeatedly flouted local safety restrictions, the advice of the CDC, and his own COVID task force. - Consistently blamed China for failing to contain COVID, but failed to contain it in the US, and failed to keep his family and White House staff from contracting it. - Filled the COVID task force with people with more expertise in PR than medicine. - Tried to take millions of Americans' health care away during the worst pandemic in over a hundred years. - Made multiple false claims about how it would just go away by certain dates, and was wrong every time. - Held many large rallies and celebrations with little to no social distancing instead of setting a good example. He removed social distance stickers from seats at at least one rally. - Repeatedly suggested that we should slow down testing so the numbers would decrease and make him look better. - Spread false propaganda about COVID being no worse than the flu after telling Bob Woodward that it was a vicious disease, and that "If you're the wrong person, you don't stand a chance." - Claimed that 99% of cases were "totally harmless". - Discouraged his supporters from listening to the medical experts. - Repeatedly discouraged mask-wearing and ridiculed those who wore them. - Constantly lied about the US fatality rate. - Repeatedly lied about testing rates and how the US compared to other countries. - Baselessly blamed Mexico for COVID spikes in the US. - Threatened to defund public education to try and force children to go back to school before the full impact of the disease was known. - Baselessly accused hospital staff in New York of selling Personal Protective Equipment "out the back door". - Handled the pandemic so poorly that it crippled the economy and put 9 million people out of work, into a housing crisis, creating massive food insecurity. - Claimed that COVID-19 was being overblown because of the US general election despite it being a world pandemic. - Lied about Google engineers building a website to help Americans determine whether they need testing for COVID-19 and to direct them to their nearest testing site. - Claimed to have saved 2.2 million lives by restricting travel from China, but allowed nearly 40,000 people to enter the US from China. 2.2 million was the projected death toll if we did nothing at all. - Claimed this was something nobody thought could happen, when experts both inside and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm many times in the past decade about the potential for a severe global pandemic. - Wondered aloud if injecting bleach or somehow shining UV light inside of the body could cure COVID.

If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?
    1
  13232.  @RoadTripA1A  - Trump instructed the Ambassador to the UK to ask British officials to hold the British Open at his Scottish golf course. He fired the Inspector General who probed the matter and classified the report. - Trump solicited foreign government assistance in a US election, which is a crime. He did that with Russia, China, and Ukraine. He insists it's okay. He calls it "oppo research"...if he does it. If a Democrat hires an actual oppo research firm, he calls it treason. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction of justice. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics. - Bill Clinton was impeached over one lie about his personal life. He lied under oath, but Donald Trump refuses to go under oath, and he has lied over 13,000 times in 3 years. Compare that to Barack Obama lying 148 times in 8 years. Do the math. Is that acceptable? A president doesn't have to commit a crime to be impeached.

His vocabulary is pathetic. He cuts off his own sentences. It's amazing that you folks choose cognitive ability as an attack line when your guy is an obvious inarticulate idiot. "Person, man, woman, camera, TV"? I remember that FROM WHEN IT WAS IN THE NEWS. But Trump brags about not being clinically demented and lies about what the doctors said?! Can you attack Biden on ANYTHING that is actually true and not something Trump is much worse about??

  13235.  @RoadTripA1A  Look at the long term trends. It was the Obama/Biden administration that pulled us out of a recession and cut unemployment from 10% to 5%. It only went down about a point after Trump took office, and now, under his watch, it has shot to record highs. He can't blame that on COVID as if he bears no responsibility. His respinse to this virus has been pathetic.

  13236. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

  13237. If a news outlet straight reports, "A man plead guilty to murdering two children today," is that opinion? No. But you can safely assume that most people would conclude that the man who pleads guilty is a bad person. This is what you hyper-media critics do not understand. When CNN reported the FACT that "Don Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jarred Kushner met with surrogates of the Russian government," that was a FACT. No opinion. People are going to see a presidential campaign's top people meeting with Russian government surrogates to trade dirt on their opponent for favors as a negative thing, right? Ever consider that "MSM's coverage of Trump is 98% negative" was because most of what he DID AND SAID WERE NEGATIVE? There is FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. There are so many people out there who don't even know how to watch the news! Those who cry "CNN is biased" are the ones who engage in the most confirmation bias. Hopeless hypocrites and idiots.

  13241. Reasonable Suspicion -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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Because US intelligence told him they did). - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  13246. MSM critics - -- Learn the differences between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. -- A LIE is knowing a FACT and saying otherwise. An OPINION cannot be a lie. If you're going to say, "MSM lies", back it up by NAMING THE LIE. -- CNN can't "cover up" anything, because CNN is not the sole gatekeeper of information. -- All of those CNN "faked green screen" videos are complete bullshit. They've all been debunked. The biggest problems with conspiracy theorists are confirmation bias and a total disregard for common sense. -- You're abusing the definition of the word, "fake". Look it up. OPINIONS you don't agree with are not fake. Bias is not fakery. -- "Enemy of the people" is a term coined by Joseph Stalin. The fact that Trump uses it daily like a parrot with fake news turrets syndrome should shoot a chill up your spine. -- Typing into a Youtube search box, looking for some journalist wannabe to confirm your bias is NOT "doing research". -- Liking alternative music over corporate pop crap is good. Going to the family-owned, dive restaurant rather than eating at Applebees because the food is better is good. Supporting the local bodega rather than raising Wal-Mart's quarterly earnings is good. That's NOT the case with news media. Why? Because CNN, BBC, CBS...can afford editors, FACT CHECKERS, correspondents all over the place, planes and trucks to get them places, high-priced reporters whose reputations are their assets, and SOURCES ON THE INSIDE. Do you think Mark Dice knows high-level people at the Pentagon? Do you think White House aides are leaking information to TYT? -- MSM isn't controlled by the DNC, the CIA or the "deep state". They ARE controlled by ADVERTISERS. Their motivations are not political. They're motivated by SENSATIONALISM. It makes no sense to limit yourself to one political party. Yes, MSM will and DO report on Democrats behaving badly. (Listen to "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley). -- MSM's product is information. You complain about corporate media. Well, corporations are CAPITALIST, not socialist. Capitalism is based on competition. News outlets compete with each other to get the most accurate information out there before their competitors do. I know it seems homogeneous, and they almost always report the same stories, but that's a consequence of that competition. I have problems with MSM, but not with their "bias" or some perceived notion that they're working for the DNC. I think they're obnoxious, homogeneous, and overly sensational. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. EXTRACT the FACTS from the opinions. -- Of course they use narratives. They HAVE TO. Narratives are what sell their product - information. ANALYSIS is what helps the viewer understand what the raw information means. You don't have to agree with it, but disagreement with the OPINION doesn't mean the FACTS are inaccurate. -- FOX News is a mainstream media outlet. It's corporate media, and it's the ultimate biased outlet. They coordinate with the White House. Who is FOX News' competition? It has no competitors to keep them in check. FOX News has a monopoly on "conservative", visual, non-print media, which is the format most people use for news. If I see fifteen people standing in a group, and I stand to the right of them, does that make them "the left"? No. The center may be halfway between them and myself, but the center of gravity is a lot closer to the group. FOX News is not conservative, but ALTERNATIVE media. They coordinate with Donald Trump and social media to form a feedback loop of OPINION that thrives on confirmation bias. -- Check your hypocrisy. I know you're capable of understanding the concept of bias, but you're blinded to your own. You're too tribal, and just, plain ignorant about how journalism works. Trump and the GOP are taking advantage of that, and playing you for fools. -- Think about it. Someone who spends all day every day on CNN's Youtube channel just to bash CNN is either a paid troll or an idiot. "Their ratings are dropping. They'll soon be gone!" That sounds like those doomsday preachers who say, "The world is going to end next week!" and next week, they say it will be NEXT WEEK, and never address the fact that they've been wrong every week.

Dems should end the filibuster now, and pass infrastructure, minimum wage, voting rights protections, marijuana decriminalization...Those issues have broad, popular support across the political spectrum.

  13250. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  13257. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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.

At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud.

Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'NT" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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.

(We aren't officially out of it until the day after election day). - Secretary of State Ivanka Trump. Ambassador Stephen Miller. Chief of Staff Donald Trump Jr. 2024 presidential candidate Jared Kushner. - to keep the axis of evil, Barr, McConnell, and Trump, in charge of America. - to replace Confederate statues with statues of Putin and Hitler. - to end NATO.

  13286. Most people get news in video form, TV and internet. The big newspapers are online now. The major outlets are CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, BBC, NYT, WaPo...and then there's FOX News. It's not "left" vs "right". It's MAINSTREAM vs ALTERNATIVE. If I'm 10 ft. to the right of a group of 8 people, the center is 5 ft. away, but the center of gravity is closer to the group. FACTS aren't partisan. To single out CNN as some kind of political brainwash operation is absurd because ALL outlets report the SAME FACTS. FOX argues that MSM leans left, and that they're just balancing it out by leaning right, but that's a false equivalency. There is left and right in the political spectrum. There is more and less newsworthy in the news spectrum. MSM picks stories based on ratings. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one ideology. I don't know why editorial departments endorse candidates. I wish they wouldn't. I think it's a practice from a less partisan age. But they don't work for the DNC or the CIA. They work for corporate sponsors. Journalists get into the business to expose truth. They don't pass on outing a crooked Senator because he's a Democrat. If CNN won't report it, CBS will. It's a competitive field...unless you're FOX News, which has virtually no competition. I try to extract the fact from the noise. The analysis is there as a guide so you can digest stories you might not understand. Criticizing the outlet too much is like blaming your phone for what people say on it. There's so much of that "kill the messenger" mentality out there.

  13288. Dean Martin - Yes, I'm saying no uranium at all went to Russia. It was a sale of shares of a Canadian mining company. And uranium is not weapons grade until it is enriched. Not to mention, Russia has plenty of nukes. They can get uranium from Russia. You people act like we sold them nukes to use on us or something. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Google it. Look it up. Learn something before you post ridiculous things.

  13289. Funny how Trump, the businessman, "knows all about 'rats' and 'flippers'"... but also was supposedly never a part of anything like that. He also said, as President, about impeachment, "I guess it says something about high crimes", as if he is so unconcerned about being impeached that he hasn't even Googled it or asked anyone. Never mind that anyone who made it past 9th grade knows that it's high crimes and misdemeanors. So, he knows nothing about basic presidential stuff that he should know, and knows all about gangster stuff he shouldn't. What a "straight talker". Straight talking isn't honesty. Ask a Trump fan about his honesty, and they'll look for reasonable doubt about each lie. What about his SINCERITY?
    1
  13290. a.m - Yeah, because Biden has never debated before. Are you nuts? We already know Trump's talking points and comebacks. Lie about Biden's tax plan, border policy, spying on his campaign, Ukraine, his son, China, his stance on police, and falsely call him a communist. Then, he'll paint a picture of "American carnage," where only liberals protest racism, and act like all protesters are rioting. He'll tout that he cancelled some flights from China as saving millions of lives, neglecting to mention that he was praising China and calling COVID a Democrat hoax the same week. He'll neglect to mention that he has downplayed the virus the whole time while downplaying it... He'll repeat everything he has been saying in his speeches. But in a debate, Biden will be right there with the FACTS to correct him. Biden will eat his lunch.

  13293.  @mikehall7026  Lemme get this straight: All of those protesting racist police brutality are liberals who condone rioting even if they don't do it themselves. They're all bad people who hate America. Therefore, to be a good, patriotic person, you have to ignore and deny racial problems. After all, it's those who protest racial injustice who are the REAL racists, right?

  13304. Trump isn't looking for corruption and conspiracies. He's fishing for conspiracy THEORIES. He knows there's no dirt to dig up. He wants something to give weight to his suggestion of corruption, and 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. The hypocrisy and projection is astounding. How could the Mueller probe be a witch hunt, and the Biden and Clinton fishing expeditions not be witch hunts? How could the Steele dossier be collusion, and the Trump Tower meeting not be collusion? It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival. The Clinton email thing has been adjudicated. The 2016 election is over, and it is a FACT that the Russians interfered in Trump's favor. The Biden non-issue has been looked into by TWO prosecutors in Ukraine, not to mention it was the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for that was under suspicion, not Hunter Biden, and not his father. On the other hand, 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts during the election. Trump lied about pending deals in Moscow, in a country that was actively trying to get him elected. Trump's top people met with Russian government surrogates to trade illegally obtained information for sanction relief. Trump still refuses to admit Russia even interfered, and he's still doing all he can to lift sanctions imposed on them for that very interference. In 2016, Trump publicly asked Russia to interfere, and after all of the problems that caused, he is doing it AGAIN. This isn't a "deep state" conspiracy. Trump's wounds are self-inflicted, and he is BEGGING to be probed and impeached.

  13311. kim wiser - And YOU people complain about Dems making false accusations? Trump's voter fraud commission found NOTHING.

  13312.  sam ridges . I know a lot about his history. Most recently, he was VP to a black president and he will more than likely choose a black running mate. I'm not saying he hasn't said stupid, racially insensitive things, but those aren't racist. He tries too hard to pander to young blacks as an old timer. The crime bill wasn't even racist. It had racist unintended consequences - Which leads me to Trump, the only other viable choice. Now, Trump is OVERTLY RACIST, and tries to implement obviously racist policies.
    1
  13313. @Nicholas Isaza Are you serious? Trump is a bigot. He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.

  13314. @Nicholas Isaza This is not rocket science. If you apply the same level of criticism to Donald Trump, he is much, much worse. Biden definitely says some stupid things, mostly racially insensitive rather than outright racist. But no reasonable, objective person can argue that he is worse than Trump. Period.
    1
  13315. @Nicholas Isaza Biden did not do most of what you are saying. You have grossly twisted things. He never bragged about being from a slave state. He didn't call black men predators. He called criminals predators, and no, that wasn't dog whistling. Again, if you hold Trump to the same standard though - He refused to accept the innocence of the Central Park Five. He aligned himself with the National Policy Institute and Brietbart - Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon's overtly racist organizations. Trump said "They want to abolish the suburbs" and repeats those "law and order" talking points that come straight from the racist, southern politicians of the 60s... Did you even read my post? YOU have the nerve to talk about "bias"? Like I said, I would argue that Biden is not racist, but for the sake of argument, let's say the items in your flimsy attempt to play "gotcha" make him racist. Then BY THE SAME STANDARD, TRUMP IS ALSO RACIST. Got it? Do you hear yourself??

Because when he fucks-up the whole world before you know it, I, and those like myself, will be blaming YOU. Then, you'll be bitching about "lib-turds" STILL not understanding you, but we'll be in charge again, and saying, "Of course we don't understand you. We don't speak fucking IDIOT!"

  13321. The original comment you responded to was, "Here comes the recession. It was bound to happen." You imply that Obama is to blame for a prolonged time before the next recession because his recovery was slow. Two problems there. 1)- You are clearly assigning blame to the one who cleaned up the mess, Obama, without blaming the one who made the mess, Bush. To do that, you conflated recession with recovery. That's called a "red herring". Yes, the worse the recession, the longer the recovery. 2)- It doesn't work that way. Recessions aren't DUE to happen every seven years. It's an average. You are doing some real mental gymnastics here in order to blame Obama and shift blame from Trump. It's overly simplistic, uninformed, and an obvious attempt to create a false little narrative by attempting to use a technicality. You'd make a better spin doctor than an economist, that is if you were a right wing spin doctor who targets their message to dumbass Trump followers who don't want to use their brains and only want to confirm their bias.

There are also no labor unions, the environment is bad, more construction workers die building those skyscrapers, and if the people complain..? Look at what's happening in Hong Kong. Trump is acting reckless by making mindless rules about dropping two regulations for every new one. He is gutting the EPA and the FDA. He is letting polluters dump known toxins into the environment for financial and personal political gain. Wake up and smell the pesticides.

  13325. Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016. (Though not charged with the crime of conspiracy, he did collude with them. He asked for their help, and his top aides met with them in New York to trade dirt for sanction relief). He asked Ukraine and China to interfere in the 2020 election. He withheld aid to Ukraine to extort them for probes of the Bidens and a nonsense conspiracy theory about hacked DNC servers. He directed his personal lawyer to commit felonies. He broke the emoluments clause. He obstructed justice many times before and during the Mueller and Ukraine investigations. He dangled pardons to circumvent eminent domain laws. He altered an official weather chart. He intimidated witnesses.

  13327. How does a dumb, shallow, disrespectful, narcissistic conman, who inherited his wealth, who had no previous experience in politics, become President of the US? There are a lot of factors, but it sure wasn't because he was born wonderful. Was he born under a double rainbow, like Kim Jong Un tells his people? No, but give Trump time to tell enough lies. He'll say he was born under a TRIPLE RAINBOW, just to one-up Kim. Sound crazy? Trump literally implied that God stopped it from raining on the attendees at his inauguration. You know, the inauguration that was "The biggest in history! Period!" as Sean Spicer said, a day before Kellyanne Conway coined the phrase, "alternative facts". Trump is too stupid to come up with this shit on his own. So, how did he learn to be such a good con artist? Maybe from the Putin, formerly of the KGB? The Soviets were masters of propaganda. "They [US intelligence] keep telling me, 'Putin is ex-KGB' (Pshaw) He's FINE!". He's fine? Okay, now I feel better. Just like we don't have to worry about the nuclear threat from North Korea because Trump says, "Kim likes me". Okay, Don Don, maybe we're okay because Kim likes you, but what if - to borrow YOUR phrase, you get "hit by a truck"? I guess, then, we're back to a big problem with NK's nuclear program. Guess we're gonna have to make sure Don Don lives forever and stays in office forever.

  13328. "You just hate Trump and you're bitter about a lost election". Yes, we hate him. He's an inexperienced, unfit, disrespectful, lying asshole. Yes, we're bitter. At worst, he stole an election with the help of a foreign enemy. At best, he barely won that election, then started governing as if anyone who didn't vote for him is an enemy whose opinion isn't worth a shit. Trump cultists say we don't understand THEM? It's sad how they don't understand why Presidents usually govern from the center once they're elected. It's sad that they think people in "blue states" live so differently from those in "red states". I'm an old, native New Yorker who was raised in Nashville. I've lived on Long Island and in upstate New York. I've lived in Kentucky and Indiana. I'm a middle class, state college dropout. I know what I'm talking about. It's sad that Trump cultists don't. It's scary to see how easily they can be manipulated by a rich, stupid conman who was conned, himself, by a richer, smarter conman who was trained in the "Art of the Con" by the KGB. It's why we "libturds" compare them to cult members. While they're straining their brains to come up with juvenile nicknames, they're not paying attention to what's actually happening. They're too dumb to realize that dumbass Trump saying, "I love the poorly educated" is an insult to them. Who'da thunk it? A rich, city boy from New York became the champion of middle-America.

When he was impeached, his excuse was that he held back funds because Ukraine was corrupt. So, he wants a corrupt country to investigate a US citizen, former Vice President, and long-time Senator?? As much as I deplore Trump, I would NEVER support doing that to him. Trump deserves the US government to put him in a US prison! He's also weaponizing the DOJ to that end. He thinks Obama spied on his campaign? He is doing that right now. HE now has the same control of the levers of government, intelligence and law enforcement that Obama had.

They're banning books on Rosa Parks and having Black people arrested for voting in Florida as a political stunt.

  13352.  @timothy288  - Do you even know what conspiracy means? If they leaked it ON PURPOSE, which they did not do, it would ve a conspiracy theory. That STILL IS a conspiracy theory because it hasn't been proven. It has nothing to do with the media. What media outlet even came to any conclusions about it? You people just spout nonsense with no basis in reality. It remains a POSSIBILITY that COVID leaked from a lab. It's as simple as that. WTF does that have to do with US partisan politics? Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  13358.  @LowerYourExpectationsPleb  - It IS a conspiracy theory! It has not been proven, and there were people insisting it was true without ANY information other than speculation. Your 1984 analogy is ridiculous. First of all, the Washington Post is not state-run media. Second, you're talking about a RETRACTION. In Orwell's book, there were no media retractions. They simply changed the story. Are you actually complaining that the media did the right thing by retracting the story? So, whatever they do is wrong, huh? By the way, did you complain about Donald Trump lying 25,000 TIMES in four years? Did you complain about his Orwellian tactics?

  13359.  @LowerYourExpectationsPleb  ... There is also a big difference between a conspiracy to purposely leak it, which makes no sense, and a lab ACCIDENT. It's well-known that lab accidents happen. Many on the right automatically equated leak with bioweapon (as if they would deliberately let it loose on their own country!)

  13360.  @LowerYourExpectationsPleb  - Thanks for proving my point. Since you think they did it on purpose, you're saying there was a conspiracy. That's a CONSPIRACY THEORY. Why on Earth would the Chinese release a bioweapon IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY? And to use against who? The US? Yeah, and next they'll explode a hydrogen bomb in Beijing so the fallout will travel around the world. Fauci predicted a possible pandemic, like all experts predicted, because it was likely. That's why they study it in Wuhan - where viruses are most likely to jump species. Are you seriously suggesting Fauci was in on some plot to sicken the world? Jeez, the level of ignorance and nonsense that come from you conspiracy theorists never ceases to amaze me!

  13361.  @TheeDavidDee  - FOX News has a lot to do with the state of tribal partisanship in the US. FOX News has a monopoly on right wing, visual media. To compete, an outlet either has to report more factual content, which turns them into "liberal" media, or they have to go full MAGA like Newsmax, which doesn't have the power to compete on that level. FOX News had a brilliant, evil strategy - They moved to the right of the mainstream, and DEFINED "the left". It's really not conservative, it's ALTERNATIVE.

  13364. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

  13370. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  13371. Amfonee Granilla - FactCheck.org® FACTCHECK POSTS Trump Tweets Conspiracy Theory About Deleted Votes By Rem Rieder Posted on November 13, 2020 In a tweet, President Donald Trump on Nov. 12 pushed the baseless theory that voting systems deleted millions of votes for him and switched thousands of votes cast for him to his Democratic rival, President-elect Joe Biden. No evidence has been produced to support that assertion. Hours after Trump’s tweet, a group of federal, state and local officials overseeing the nation’s voting system said that in the recent election, “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” The joint statement, by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, described the recent voting as “the most secure in American history.” The statement was distributed by the federal government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

  13372. They should at least start an impeachment INQUIRY. Then, they get the documents and testimony that Trump and his people refuse to turn over. Put the election stuff on hold for a while. It's still early. There might not be enough Republican votes in the Senate right now, but remember, there are 20 investigations ongoing, into his charity, his tax, banking, emoluments, and business practices. There could very well be state charges on his kids he can't pardon away. Maybe, finally, Republicans will get rid of him themselves so they have a chance to keep the White House in 2021 with another candidate. Dems must SIEZE THE NARRATIVE!

  13375. You Trump followers cry "CNN lied! CNN lied!" like a parrot with turrets. Then, why can't you give an EXAMPLE of a lie? You can't. When you try to, you say one of two things: 1)- "They lie about everything". Okay then give an EXAMPLE. 2)- "They're biased". Bias is not lying. But if you insist that it is, then give an EXAMPLE. CNN is the McDonalds of news. It isn't gourmet. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. What you don't understand is the difference between FACT, ANALYSIS, and OPINION. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what journalism is. The FACTS are rarely wrong, and even when they are, that is called a MISTAKE, not a LIE. ANALYSIS is making sense out of facts for your consumption. It's making a burger out of raw beef. It's also for THEIR OWN consumption. McDonalds employees eat there, too. Even more than you, because they're there all day. OPINION is the answer to "How did it taste?" I know a lot of you are paid Russian trolls. More power to you. Sorry you live in a shit country where your leaders have you brainwashed, but at least you're doing it for your country and making a few rubles. What I'm concerned about are the brainwashed masses of American fools who buy into this crap, because YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are the biased, and foolish enough to do it for free. It's ironic that you defend a KNOWN HABITUAL liar who lies more often than most people urinate by crying, "CNN lies", and you can never give one example.

  13376. All Trump did was interrupt every time Pelosi and Schumer spoke to repeat, "We need border security". Yes, douchebag, border security was the topic. The whole shit show was Trump giving an ultimatum - Only a wall will provide security, and without it, he's shutting down the government and blaming Dems for having the audacity to not cave in to a ridiculous demand. He lied about the wall being started. It's maintenance for pre-existing barriers. And what happened to Mexico paying? Oh, yeah, that was just a campaign promise. Why would anyone take it seriously? My God, Trump is so incompetent on the most basic levels! This guy wrote "The Art of the Deal"??

  13377. - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. It's nonsense to say pollsters faked it to help her. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People, (especially illegals), don't like to vote. It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, folks tend to think their individual vote counts even less. If anything, Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. That there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" numbers were? Do you think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? How many points? Even independent pollsters whose existence depends on a record of accuracy? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Donald Trump actually did pay for fake online polls. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

The testimony clearly corroborated that. It isn't "opinions". It's a clear pattern. Trump's defense is that the investigations were legitimately for rooting out corruption, and not for personal, political benefit. The evidence contradicting that is overwhelming, and if you believe he was really just fighting corruption, you are dumb as dog shit.

If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS.

  13416. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  13421. AOC says being a moderate Dem is no good because they should say what they believe rather than worrying about the Republicans using their rhetoric against them. Be an idealist, not a strategist. I say, that's bullshit. You can't get what you want if you can't win, and there has to be SOME compromise. Look at what's happening now. We're being ruled by a Republican party and a President who doesn't give two shits about what half of the country wants. You have to BALANCE the two - idealism and strategy. I have respect for AOC and these "far left", new House members who stick to their principles, but they're still inexperienced freshman who are going to principle themselves right out of office, and take the moderates with them. The media keep saying, "Are the Dems going too far to the left?" Why? Because a handful of newbies out of over 200 Democratic Congress members are being vocal about their ideas? They're getting the media attention because they're young/female/ethnic/Muslim.., and part of the "blue wave" - that happened naturally - because the ruling party and the POTUS suck so bad. BALANCE. It's a fact of life. It's why my pic is a yin-yang. It's why the earth orbits the sun, and why life evolved on it. It's why the political left is moving more to the left - because we have a far right president, and his party refuses to keep him in check. Soon, there will be no chance for middle ground, and this country will spiral out of control. The newbies need to do less talking and more listening. Trump is the worst inexperienced newbie. There's no chance he'll shut up and try to learn. But AOC should realize that the media is going to exaggerate her message, which will fuel the Republican spin machine. Sure, be a "Democratic Socialist", but know that Republicans only hear "Socialist", and will use that to falsely claim that Dems all want to turn the US into Venezuela. And Omar needs to STFU. She isn't doing Democrats or Muslims any favors.

  13436. Democratshate America - Comparing the riots at BLM protests to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a ballpark full of Yankees fans with a couple of New Yorkers breaking into cars in the parking lot. The fact that BLM supporters are likely to be liberals isn't remotely the same as it being a partisan political issue. Right wing "logic" seems to be "Hollywood is mostly liberal. Most Democrats are liberal. Jussie Smollett is a Hollywood actor who conned people for a traditionally liberal cause. Therefore, Democrats support con-men." 93% of the protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the protesters did not riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests. Law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. Some Democrat lawmakers expressed support for the cause. None supported Antifa, and none supported the rioting. Trump and most Republicans vehemently supported a cause that was repeatedly proven to be a lie. Mike Pence LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO STOP CERTIFICATION. Unlike with BLM, "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan politics, and politicians encouraged it despite actionable intelligence that said organized groups were determined to use violence. -

News Flash: Politicians have connections to big business. They're SUPPOSED TO. What do you think "lobbying" means? No experience, huh? Do you realize how many Trump appointees had no experience in the fields of the agencies they were appointed to? How did you feel when Trump HIMSELF got the top job in the country with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE in government? Never a Mayor or a City Councilman. Your post makes no sense. It's hard to read because your grammar is atrocious. Digging? Yeah, I can "dig up" things that the New York Times and journalists with inside sources can't by banging around on Youtube, looking for videos made by hack, journalist wannabes. You CLEARLY don't understand anything about law, politics, government or journalism. That is evident in your reply. And don't try to tell me the "liberal" media is covering up anything. They don't take their marching orders from the DNC, and FOX News has a huge audience. Outlets like FOX News and Newsmax have convinced you that journalists don't compete with each other, and don't have an inherently adversarial relationship with politicians.

  13444. D OX - They have a monopoly on right wing, visual media. To compete with them, an outlet either has to report more factual content, which turns them into "liberal" media, or they have to go full MAGA like Newsmax, which doesn't have the power to compete on that level. FOX News had a brilliant, evil strategy - They moved to the right of the mainstream, and DEFINED "the left". It's really not conservative, it's ALTERNATIVE.

  13450. For these protests to work, you need to get through to white people. Not white hyper-racists. You can't change them. I mean those who DON'T KNOW THEY'RE RACIST. They don't listen when you say "Black Lives Matter." They don't hear, "black lives matter, TOO." They hear, "black," and think you're calling them racist. They think, "I'M not racist! YOU'RE racist! What about white lives?" Attacking what a white Southerner PERCEIVES as Southern heritage will only send him into the arms of Trump and Hannity. You have to get past their defenses. They have to identify with you. Yes, police brutalize blacks much more than whites, but a better way to approach it is to make them understand that whites are brutalized, too. Focus on the brutality, regardless of race. I DON'T mean ignore racial anti-bias training, but it doesn't help to overemphasize it. We should demand an immediate end to police brutality, but demanding an immediate end to all racism is futile and SELF-DEFEATING. BLM is bad at messaging. Drop the B in BLM. Those who know what it means don't need to be told, and those who don't won't listen. It's been shown that talking about "climate change" makes the deniers tune out. It's become a symbolic term in a culture war. But when you call it "pollution," more people listen. Same concept here.

  13454. Politicians are idea whores who will back any proposal that gets them votes. That's certainly true of the modern Republicans. So, Democrats, what's the problem? Run on LEGALIZING MARIJUANA! I don't get it. They DON'T want more votes and tax revenue? By the way, EDUCATION is another issue where the advantage is on the Democrat side. It's largely a women's issue. Dems have the women. Republicans have Betsy DeVos and an attitude that has them calling teachers unions "terrorist organizations". The Trump presidency is clearly a failure of the public school system. A majority of the public supports legalization. Dems have the younger vote and the old hippies. Republicans have Jeff "Good people don't smoke marijuana" Sessions. And as far as the anti-taxation Republicans go, it's not the same with "sin tax" among grateful potheads. EDUCATION AND MARIJUANA!

  13455.  Jerry Dixon  It's pathetic that I actually know what you are TRYING to say with that word salad you left as a comment, because so many of you MAGA morons mindlessly repeat the same ridiculous talking points. There is no evidence for any of that, but even if there was, what is your point? It's okay for Trump to do anything crooked that any Democrat has already done before? Trump was using his charity as a slush fund. He was using it to pay bribes. That is a fact. The Clinton Foundation is a highly rated, often audited world charity. Wake up, or in your case, sober up.

  13456. Often, the problem is that police are trained to shoot INDISCRIMINATELY, regardless of COMMON SENSE. Often, impatient, irritated cops escalate, then start, and don't STOP shooting. - During a simple traffic stop on a busy street in broad daylight, a man riding with his girl and a baby told a cop he had a gun and a permit, and got blown away. - In the absurd "war on drugs", a woman was killed in her bed because her ex-boyfriend was a drug suspect who wasn't there. Cops falsified the warrant. One cop shot repeatedly, target unseen, from outside of the apartment. - A cop said she mistook a man's apartment for her own, and killed a man who was alone eating ice cream in his living room. - A mentally ill man was killed by cops, shot four times in front of his house and his mother - who called them - because he ignored commands to drop a screwdriver. The cop was a safe distance away. The man didn't threaten anyone. The cop continued commands to drop the tool as he lay dying, then cuffed him. - Cops tazed a girl who tried to run in handcuffs. Her head hit the pavement, and she suffered permanent brain damage. - One cop shot a handcuffed, old man 12 times because he reached for a knife. The cop was charged with murder, but was acquitted, as he was trained to "shoot at the body mass until the threat is gone". But I guess BLM shouldn't protest because thugs might hijack the rally and start rioting. And if you're a conservative, you've got to ignore systemic racism by police or you're a bad conservative, huh? Yet, members of the party claimed by the Klan and the Neo-Nazis complain about about being labeled as racists. It might help if decent conservatives would make a better effort to denounce bigots and bad cops.

  13457.  @davidhoyt4006  You are making no sense. Obviously the BLM organization is not saying 1000 unarmed blacks were killed by cops last year. More Whites are unjustly killed by cops because there are more of them, but it happens to blacks at 3x the rate. Your attempt to minimize the horrific things those bad cops do by saying it's rare and implying that it's no reason to protest is absurd. So, we should just accept it?? Should we just accept terrorism, too? It's rare. SMH.
    1
  13458.  @davidhoyt4006  That's why BLM needs to message better and let whites know it happens to them, too, more than to blacks because there are more whites in the country. But it happens to blacks at 3 times the rate. Blacks are concentrated in the rougher, more poor neighborhoods. It's a systemic racial problem. There were also many, many whites at BLM protests.

  13460.  @dominicdevers8776  So? That doesn't change the fact that she did something while Cruz did nothing. He didn't even pass out water bottles until he did it for damage control. Cruz criticized the Dem Mayor of Austin for practically the same thing - going to Mexico during the pandemic. There is no clearer-cut case of hypocrisy.
    1
  13461.  Charles Gnarley  I am sure it is not true that no Dems did anything. For one thing, AOC sure did, and Texas is far from New York. There is a term for what they are expected to do - constituent services. This is yet another instance of a Republican breaking well-established norms. Do you think Cruz isn't going to be grilled on the Hill when Congress surely holds hearings? He should have been, at the very least, communicating with a wide range of agencies to find out what went wrong, and how to fix it. This affected power, roads, sanitation, EMS, fire and rescue, health care services...At the very least, he could have been using his clout to bring emergency supplies to the state. He could have been working with charities. And he surely shouldn't have gone to Mexico after he'd RECENTLY attacked the Mayor of Austin for the exact same thing! His excuse about his daughters was absurd for more reasons than I can list here.

  13465. By all accounts, Republican lawmakers can't stand Cruz, but they won't primary him because that would mean admitting there is even an imperfection in the party. Look how they STILL defend Donald Trump. By and large, Dems do not do that. Look at Al Franken and Andrew Cuomo. They act like police chiefs and Catholic Bishops who defend bad cops and pedophile Priests. When you have a big organization, SOME BAD PEOPLE WILL GET IN. I don't know why they won't just acknowledge that and stopntaking it so damn personally. Employees steal from Wal-Mart, but nobody blames the company.

  13468.  Charles Gnarley  Wrong. Constituent services absolutely apply to the US House of Representatives. Are you actually suggesting that soliciting donations to charity is a "grift"? The simple fact remains - she did something and Cruz did not. Period. People expect their Senators to represent them. Period. Cruz attacked the Mayor of Austin for doing exactly what he did, so based on that alone, he deserves every bit of criticism he gets.

  13469.  @dominicdevers8776  This is not rocket science. You cannot have it both ways. If a President is supposed to show up, then a Senator from that state us supposed to show up. Period. "Mate"?

  13472.  Charles Gnarley  It doesn't have to say democracy to BE a democracy. Of, by, and for the people implies democracy. "Republic" was specific, because it was created to give autonomy to the states. You are comparing apples to oranges. Republic and democratic aren't mutually exclusive.

  13473.  @dominicdevers8776  I never said that. Cruz could have told his wife to take the kids to Cancun and checked into a hotel.
    1
  13474.  Charles Gnarley  You are trying to make a technical, semantic argument that disregards the intent of the framers. "Of, by, and for the people" obviously implies democratic. There isn't a US Senator, Congressman, President, or Justice alive that would tell the people, "This is not a democracy." We elect REPRESENTATIVES to go to Washington and represent the will of the people. For one thing, it's practical. We can't have a referendum on every issue. We'd be voting every day. I see your point about not letting Joe No-nothing vote on things they don't understand. We don't let average people vote on how a surgeon performs surgery. But it's not set up to be adversarial, as you said, where the job of Senators is to push back against the will of the people. It's bad enough that they think everything has to be adversarial along party lines. Sometimes there is simply an issue where members of both parties should agree broadly on the way forward. Even those who vote against a representative are constituents of that representative. Ted Cruz doesn't get a pass because of some "chain of command"- like technicality, and there were many, many things he could have done during the crisis that would have better prepared him to make his case in the Senate for what needed to be done to fix the problem and avoid it in the future. Plus, it serves him right for berating a Mayor for doing what he did. I seriously doubt even Cruz himself would have the balls to tell people it was different for a Mayor.
    1
  13475.  @dominicdevers8776  He could have looked out for his family and his state by simply letting his wife take the kids. By the way, he left his dog in the cold. If he was so righteous about caring for his kids, then why did he cut his trip short, then try to imply that he was just escorting them there and coming right back? He should be ashamed of his hypocrisy and dishonesty as much as his apathy.

They aren't worried about creating a climate crisis or starting World War III. They'll tell themselves, "Fuck it. I've lived a long, affluent life above ground. My family will be fine for a generation or two. Then, it will be my wealthy and privileged offspring who get tickets out of this apocalyptic hell hole on space ships that will take them to their new home on Mars."

  13484. Pelosi and like-minded Dems are too focused on the next election. They want to run against an embattled, wounded Trump. They want to fight the devil they know. Pelosi saying she opposes impeachment now is bad strategy and bad timing. It's too close to the end of the Mueller probe, too close to the beginning of the House probes, and too far from the next election. Pelosi should have just said, "Let's wait for the facts". She's sick of cries of "Impeach him!" drowning out her agenda message. Tough shit. If they can't work their agenda and conduct oversight at the same time, they shouldn't be in office. It's premature to assume they won't get 20 Senators to go along with removing Trump. If Mueller or SDNY uncover slam-dunk evidence, the Republicans will have to support Trump's removal. Most likely, though, there won't be slam-dunk proof, but really strong proof. Then, the Republicans won't want him impeached. They'll want to oust him in a primary - for the same reason they defend him now - they want to hold on to power. Then, the Dems won't get to run against the wounded devil they know. Trump planted William Barr to water-down the Mueller report, which he will do with anything short of a smoking gun. Then, the choice for Republicans will be to primary or not. Then, the Dems will be running against a newly strengthened Trump or a new Republican who, compared to Trump, will look really good to swing voters. Either way, it puts Dems in a weakened position. It ISN'T time to impeach yet. But instead of raising the bar on impeachment, Dems should be lowering it. They should be saying, "He's inches away. We're seeing lots of evidence". That's because there IS lots of evidence, albeit circumstantial. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Roger Stone bragged about communicating with the very hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. 16 of Trump's people lied about over 100 Russian contacts. Trump's charity is being probed for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". He has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation that involved bank fraud. There's the inaugural committee, security clearance concerns, a pattern of obstruction, and MUCH more. Plus, he's an HABITUAL liar. If Dems had balls, they'd point those things out every chance they get. Then, the media would report those statements rather than reporting Pelosi's signal that Dems don't have the stomach for impeachment, and are more interested in elections than justice. "He's not worth it"?? He's too horrible to remove, and so bad that he's above the law?? She doesn't want to divide the already divided country? Congrats, Nancy. You divided your own party. There's something worse than a messy impeachment - leaving a crooked, lying, incompetent President in office until an election that's still almost two years away. And since Trump refuses to deal with the Russians, he will let them help him win that election again.

Soliciting help in a US election from a foreign government is a crime. Do you really think the Dems didn't find out that basic fact before they drafted articles of impeachment? Let's say the president decided to stop doing his job, and just sit around the White House in his underwear and smoke weed all day. You couldn't impeach him for the crime of smoking weed. because it isn't a high crime. ("HIGH" crime. Really, no pun intended there), but you could impeach him for the non-crime of refusing to do his job.

  13501. Terry Little - They are marketed as weapons with which to assault people, not for self-defense or hunting. It's a MARKETING problem. Tobacco companies can't use cartoons and fruit flavors because they target kids who can't legally use the product. Military-looking rifles that hold dozens of rounds aren't marketed to hunters. Handguns are designed to use on humans - for self defense. "ARs" are marketed to wannabe soldiers. There's no legal purpose for them. Silencers are illegal for that reason. When do you legally need one? I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible, rational people, but AR-type rifles attracted a different type.

  13510. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible than to fudge the numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, please, tell me how a fake poll helps a candidate.

Then, you'll be bitching about "lib-turds" STILL not understanding you, but we'll be in charge again, and saying, "Of course we don't understand you. We don't speak fucking IDIOT!"

  13525. Mulinaster - No, logic is not on your side. You have traded bad for worse with Trump. This isn't "draining the swamp" in any sense of the term. It's pretty much like saying you're car is giving you trouble, so you'd rather just wreck it and buy the first piece of junk the next shady car salesman sells you no matter what. It's "repeal" without "replace". It's a temper tantrum. It's absurd.
    1
  13526. Mulinaster - You made my point. You just did it in a very roundabout way. No matter how you slice it, you're saying things have to get worse before they get better. There are way too many variables in your theory about some sort of controlled revolution. It will never happen that way.

  13527. High crimes and misdemeanors. Was "misdemeanor" a class of crime when the impeachment clause was written? That's like saying, "felonies and misdemeanors". That's ANY crime, and you can't impeach for jaywalking. What if a President decided to stop working and sit around all day watching TV? It's not a crime, but obviously, you'd have to oust that President. I think, maybe, the framers meant, by "misdemeanor", things not necessarily crimes, but unacceptable for an elected official. Anyone know? (Left myself wide open for Trump troll attack, didn't I?)

  13529. zbudda - In addition to the hush money, the FEC dinged Trump for $1.3 million in misappropriated funds. Nobody really cares about that. That's the petty stuff, like with Obama, that is explained by missed deadlines, clerical errors, etc. The hush payments are serious because there was willful book-cooking. Cohen - at Trump's direction - opened up 2 shell companies and comitted bank fraud to get the loan. It's an FEC violation to not disclose expendatures meant to influence the election. Hush payments qualify. It's what got John Edwards a 6 count federal indictment. Edwards was acquitted because he did it a year before his campaign, and he argued it was to spare his wife the humility. That won't fly with Trump because he did it right after the Access Hollywood tape came out, years after the affairs, and right before the election. Trump also involved David Pecker of the Enquirer and Alan Weiselberg of the Trump Org., who have been granted immunity because they, too, might be criminally liable. And lordy, there are tapes!
    1
  13530. zbudda - Retractions are not willful lies. A 24 hour news outlet is going to make mistakes. 99% of the time, the facts are correct. They work on deadlines in a competitive field. And it's incredible to me that any Trump defender can accuse the news media of lying while Trump is a shameless, willful liar, and lies EVERY DAY, on matters big and small, often as the truth is plain as daylight.
    1
  13531. zbudda - I explained the differences between the Cohen and Edwards cases. Common sense, man. The affairs Trump still denies, (yeah, right), happened years ago. Then, immediately after the Access Hollywood tape came out, only weeks before the election, they decide to pay off the women. After two years, what you posted is definitely not all they've got on the collusion/conspiracy front. Mueller and SDNY have WAY more than that. Much, much more. It's been in the news. I'm not talking about the editorials and analysis. I mean undisputed facts. And all we know is what has leaked. If the tip of the iceberg is huge, what's underneath is gigantic. By the way, one of the lies Cohen admitted to was about his willingness to travel to meet with Russians regarding the election and the Trump Tower Moscow project. You know, the one Trump lied about being involved in. He wasn't just dealing with some real estate developers. He was seeking help from the Kremlin. A good portion of that time was AFTER he was informed that Putin was attacking our election. He had been asked to call the FBI if Russia tried anything. Instead, he reached out to Russia.

  13533. 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.

  13544. Obama never illegally used a "spy" in the Trump camp. The Trump camp, however, tried (possibly succeeded) in using Russian spies to sink the Clinton campaign. IF the DOJ and/or US intelligence ever used informants, wiretaps, etc. to look into Trump's campaign, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING! It would have meant that there was reason to believe they were working with the Russians to undermine our election and steal power, nimrods! There is a process. There are judges who issue those warrants. But let me guess - the judges were "deep state operatives"? That's ridiculous, ignorant, and paranoid. All of those people, no matter what political views, from non-political agencies, all in the service of electing Hillary Clinton - a candidate even liberals weren't crazy about?? Yeah, the "deep state" is all liberal. That's why the conservatives are in power half the time. They're so powerful, yet they couldn't stop an unpopular, inexperienced, controversial guy like Trump from getting elected. The all-powerful "deep state" couldn't rig the election successfully? Dig up any more on him BEFORE the election than a tape about grabbing pussy? Couldn't pull off this conspiracy without defeating their own purpose by leaking their own party's emails? Comey, the guy who ended up HELPING TRUMP WIN, was all in for Clinton?? Man, some people are fucking STUPID!

It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket. I felt something brush against my butt at KFC last week." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Don - "Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they say that?" Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  13565. Trump gets little credit for the economy. 1)- Look at the long-term trends. When you gut financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and give massive tax cuts to the 1%, of course that will stimulate the economy in the short term, but it creates a bubble. 82% of the benefits from the tax cuts go to the top 1%! Now that Trump is ballooning the deficit - into the trillions - with those tax cuts, he's saying we have to tighten the belt. He just cut raises for government employees. Inflation is rising faster than wages now. 2)- Under Obama, the unemployment rate was cut in half - from around 10% to around 5%. Trump only gets credit for not screwing that up. It has come down only a few tenths of a percent on his watch. Black unemployment is down because all unemployment is down. What policy has he implemented to account for blacks specifically?

  13616. Liberals outnumber conservatives, but Republicans refuse to try to win liberals over. They win by suppressing Dem votes and turning out their base through division. So, even when they win, they don't get new voters. They keep repeating the strategy, as there's always an election around the corner. Doubt that? Look at Trump, who treated half the country as an enemy. They can't let him go no matter how much trouble he caused them. Didn't they get exhausted? Look at Black voters. Republicans only get about 10% of their vote, and winning them over is always too big of a mountain to climb in under two years. The solution is right in front of them, but they won't look past their noses. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular. A minimum wage hike, health care reform, pot legalization, COVID mitigation, racial justice, sensible gun control, and addressing climate change are all favored by a SOLID majority of the electorate. Republicans ignore and/or deny ALL of those issues. Republicans need to worry more about DOING the job than KEEPING the job. They cry "election security," but why is it that every security measure they propose just happens to be the something that hinders liberal turnout? They can't even be bipartisan about a probe into what went wrong at the Capitol! It's INSANE to demand that an investigation focus on "left wing extremists." WHAT left wing extremists?? Antifa is nothing but about 50 unorganized people who have no support, and were not at the Capitol riot. BLM is NOT an extremist group. Do Republicans really want to demonize a group that demonstrates against systemic racism? Yeah, that will help get Black votes and end the stereotype that Republicans are racist! I hope they DO look into BLM, SEPARATELY, to show the difference between them and a coup attempt based on lies, executed by The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, Confederate dead-enders, and a half-dozen white supremacist groups who were decidedly partisan and encouraged by a majority of the Republican Congress and the President himself. I thought Republicans called theirs the "party of ideas"? Well, make with the ideas. Failing that, they could learn to agree with Dems about what the PROBLEMS are and argue over the SOLUTIONS. What are the problems? Public opinion is clear on that. They're the wealth gap, minimum wage, health care, marijuana, COVID, racism, and gun control, and climate change. They're NOT communism, threats to the 2nd Amendment, left-wing extremism, sanctuary cities, or gay rights. And there is equal blame on BOTH SIDES for "cancel culture" and outsourcing jobs overseas, so don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

  13625. I am white, and I was bussed. It sucked. My school was right up the road, then it was an hour and a half every day on the bus. They should just FUND THE SCHOOLS FAIRLY AND EQUALLY. Just because Biden didn't support a BILL or some LEGISLATION, doesn't mean he is racist. There is always a devil in the details of legislation. Yes, Democrats should address racial equality, but without tearing each other down with suspicions of racism. None of the Dem candidates are racist. Donald Trump is a racist who advocates racist policies. Keep things in perspective, or the ACTUAL DANGEROUS RACIST might remain in office.

  13628. I wonder what they found in Cohen's office. Just musing here, but what if they found half a kilo of coke in a desk drawer? Maybe some scales? A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession. Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police". He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us? Trump is using the OJ Simpson defense - "You can't PROVE I DID IT because the lead detective was a racist and I'm black". I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

  13632. I've never heard a candidate lie so much about their opponent. Biden is NOT in favor of defunding police, open borders, gun confiscation, or turning the US into a socialist state. Biden was a Senator for decades. He was VP during a successful administration. The notion that there will be war, anarchy in the streets, and some apocalyptic nightmare is absurd. Nor will Biden be a "puppet" of people who don't have his experience. These right-wing talking points are so far removed from reality. Trump talks like a dictator. Republicans and MAGA cultists need to wake up.

  13636. A big reason the US can't get a grip on this pandemic that nobody talks about is that we are too CONSUMER DRIVEN. Watch TV. The ads all tell us to "Get back out there and spend!" They have to. No business in its right mind would passively let itself go broke. So where are the PSAs? Where are the TV spots telling us to wash our hands and wear masks? Where are the attractive celebrities yelling at the camera, "Don't touch your eyes!"? How about seeing someone in a hospital bed struggling to breathe for 20 seconds? How about graphics of people caughing neon green "germs" with and without masks, showing how far they travel, and how they get blown around by the air conditioner? Has anyone from either party suggested funding this in the relief package?

  13643. Only an idiot like Trump would fake an election poll, and only he has actually been proven to have done it. Question: Why would anyone fake an election poll? Answer: Ostensibly, to get votes for a candidate. Do you vote for the most popular candidate? To be on the winning side...of an election? In a horse race, sure. If you have money on it, absolutely. But unless that many people use elections as gambling events, I don't see the point. I get dreading work on Monday because Tom is going to give you shit about telling him the Patriots would win the Super Bowl, but the Patriots got their ass kicked. But an election? Who votes for Clinton because they want to stick it to Tom on Wednesday after an election? If that's your motivation to vote, please don't vote! The news media compete with independent pollsters as well as other outlets for ACCURACY. If CNN's polls were always far off from the others, how trustworthy would their polls be? They'd lose sponsors, aka MONEY, which is what they work for. There's no vast conspiracy where CNN, PBS, Quinnipiac and Gallup all get together and decide what fits the leftist, deep state narrative. They just take polls and report the results. Why is it so hard to believe that they're just doing their jobs? So, why did Trump pay for fake polls? Because he's a narcissistic idiot. It's how he thinks. "Look at my crowd size and my popularity!" In 2016, it worked for him. He won a popularity contest against an unpopular opponent. Most Dems weren't thrilled about Hillary. He appealed to like-minded idiots who think elections are somehow about popularity because he can't compete on actual ideas.

    1
  13645.  @heinzruedi4125  - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. Thinking CNN, (and every other pollster, even the independent ones), somehow faked it to help her, is nonsense. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People don't like to vote, (especially not illegals). It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, people tend to think their individual vote counts even less. Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. The fact that there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that the Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" percentages were? Do you really think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? Even independent polling groups whose existence depend on a record of accuracy? Wow, that deep state runs really deep, huh? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Know who actually paid for fake polls? Donald Trump. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  13649. Anyone who goes to the edge of the law the way Trump does, as a matter of practice, with his attitude, probably habitually breaks the law. He is an habitual liar. He is dumb as duck shit. He and his associates don't cover their tracks well. How is he still President? How? Is this just the slow, grinding wheels of justice? Mueller just dotting i's and crossing t's? This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't such a ridiculously, dangerously incompetent President. But EVERY SINGLE DAY, this man has done or said something outrageous. The scandals, lawsuits and indictments are piling up, and all he can answer with are conspiracy theories about the deep state and saying it's just liberal haters who can't stand that he's so successful. SERIOUSLY? Watching the news is like watching The Twilight Zone now.

But say they gathered info. illegally - That's on THEM, not the DNC. BTW, they are trying to get their testimony released, but the Republicans are fighting it. I wonder why. (They're sabotaging the House and Senate probes). Where is this crime with Fusion GPS? What are you people alleging, or is it like the "unmasking" and Uranium One, where you hear anything at all about Clinton and call it proof of a crime when you truly have no idea what the facts are?

  13651. daniel Davis - Wrong. Collusion is not a crime.

  13652. dread death - Do you think Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with? Sure. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  13653. ... Can any of you "What about Hillary?" parrots explain how the Russia story is a Clinton hoax? Anyone? Because not one of you has ever explained how this "hoax" worked or how it makes any sense. Fusion GPS? Doesn't cut it. That only has to do with the dossier - which was NOT the basis of the probe. Anyone want to explain how Clinton made Trump's people meet with Russians and lie about it? How Clinton put all of her energy into planning revenge on Trump in case she lost? How, if the "deep state" is so deep, Trump managed to get elected in the first place? Hell, how the Republicans have ever had a chance if the government is all left-wing deep state! BTW, did Clinton kill Seth Rich as revenge for the DNC leaks, or did she leak them herself as part of this Trump/Russia frame-up? COMMON SENSE, PEOPLE!

  13654. daniel Davis - "Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, SOMETIMES ILLEGAL–but always secretive–to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair market advantage." I am aware of the definition. It is not inherently a crime. Nobody will be charged with "collusion". If you read my post, you should understand the context. The press should stop using the word because it can more accurately be replaced by "cooperation" in the context of how it has been used. The Trump followers are stuck on the false notion that "collusion" is the legal crime here. Then, they learn that it is not inherently a crime. So, while it is used in place of "cooperation" in order to be more accurate and informative, it actually does the opposite. Get it now? You can drop the condescending "learn before you post" crap.

  13657. MSM bashers - When the media says, "Michael Cohen is fiercely loyal to Trump", it is based on one statement - "I would take a bullet for him". That's a narrative. (They have to have a narrative. It's how you report a story). You can take or leave the narrative. However, it is a FACT that Cohen did say it. You can't just take or leave that. Get it? Don't accept Trump's new definition of "fake" as meaning false. It's how the line gets blurred. Fake means false. "Fake news" means it's an imposter outlet and/or a lie. BIASED means biased. If you don't like the narrative, ignore it. If you don't like the facts, deal with it. Editorial is not fact. What a guest says ON CNN is not a statement BY CNN. You want discussion panels to represent differing opinions, right? Well, then someone on the panel is going to say something you don't agree with. Learn something about what you're bashing. YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are "drinking the Kool-aid". Stop thinking you have healthy skepticism and a sense for who is bullshitting you. If you trust Trump, you are not a good judge of character. If "fake news", is your mantra, YOU are so much more biased than the news media ever could be.

  13670. To say Trump was tougher on Russia than any other President is laughable. Obama sanctioned them for invading Ukraine. Exxon/Mobile, a US oil company, could have made a $500 billion deal with a Russian oil company, but Putin invaded Ukraine, so Obama stopped the deal. Trump has been trying to LIFT sanctions. Mnuchin is trying to lift them on a Russian oligarch tied to the election meddling. The heat is on, yet they persist? Blackmail? Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was tougher on Russia than anyone. That's why Putin wanted her out of the running. Nobody can say Reagan was soft on them. Nobody has been easier on them than Trump.
    1
  13671. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  13672. Patriot Spring - They did, moron! Trump blocked them. So, does that mean that the 17 who did testify in the House can testify again in the Senate?

Fucking dimbasses, do you have ANY fucking brain cells that work?

  13673. I guess we should want to get along with Russia, so we should give Putin what he wants, right? We want to get along with Iran, N Korea and China, too. Can you imagine Bush, before the Iraq war saying, "We want to get along with Iraq. Let's buddy up to Saddam Hussein.

A 17th burner phone tucked under a folder containing the phone number of some cartel-linked businessman? Just saying. You might ask, "What does that have to do with Trump/Russia? That's off limits! It has nothing to do with collusion!" Well, if the local cops knock on your door by accident because they got the wrong address, you answer, your place smells like weed, and they see a bong and an ounce of weed on your coffee table, the cops can say, "We witnessed a crime. Possession Plain sight. You're coming with us". Why should Trump and his cronies be above the law? Trump's whole legal strategy is, "Fuck the police!" He is the PRESIDENT. Shouldn't he, of all people, owe us more of an explanation? We're not talking about a little weed or coke here. We're talking about COLLUSION WITH A NUCLEAR-ARMED FOREIGN ADVERSARY. With great power comes great responsibility - and ACCOUNTABILITY - so doesn't Trump, AS POTUS, owe us a better explanation than just repeating "No Collusion" every day on Twitter, like a fucking parrot with turrets syndrome? Of course he will commit perjury if he talks to Mueller. We can ALL agree on that. His lawyers know he's an habitual liar who is in too deep. That being the case, what should that tell us?

I say, OJ got MORE benefit of the doubt because he was rich and won the Heisman Trophy. That TRUMPS black. That doesn't change the fact that his and his victims' blood, and his footprints, were on everything. Trump needs to talk to Mueller or just resign. He is too dumb to see what's good for himself. He should quit and go back to the private sector. I'm sure Sean Hannity will get him a job at FOX News, where he can go on TV, bitch about the "deep state" all day long, grab pussy, bang all the porn stars his billions can buy all night, and try to live a day in his life out from under the microscope before his old ass dies.

  13679. If it was up to me, this is what I would demand. (I THINK it's basically what the Dems want, but they haven't really put it out there in any detail): - A few billion for border security, PARTLY earmarked for PHYSICAL BARRIERS, and the rest for all else related to border security. (If Trump doesn't have the will or attention span to read, calculate, or hire people who can, he shouldn't be POTUS). - No "down payment" on a huge project costing tens of billions. Take it year by year. Barriers aren't skyscrapers. You can build them piece by piece without leaving anyone holding the bag, and the pieces are still effective. (This isn't some failed building project where half a casino is worth nothing). - An end to measures taken, since Trump took office, to block asylum seekers from seeking asylum. If he wants to call this a "humanitarian crisis", he can't be selective about who qualifies as human. - REAL protection for DACA recipients. I've got no problem with ending DACA, but honor the deal for those already in it. Don't keep them guessing or use them as pawns. DACA is merit-based. Amnesties work. Those opposed to any form of amnesty should get over it. Their situations are not their fault. (Even adults who cross illegally mostly do so to work for people who ILLEGALLY hire them. Share the blame). - Trump would have to sign a non-binding document stating that he'll work in GOOD FAITH to approach the immigration issue free of what is generally seen as xenophobic rhetoric and fear mongering. Good faith in getting accurate cost estimates, and being honest with the public about them. (I say "non-binding" because, let's be real, he'll sooner stick to that than actually get Mexico to pay for a wall. At least he'd be on record). Then, we reopen the government, "release the hostages" on BOTH SIDES, and then, the work BEGINS. We need comprehensive immigration reform. (GW Bush, a Texan, spoke better Spanish than English, and he couldn't do it). It should include an EFFICIENT path to citizenship, reform of drug laws - including demand side, lots of research, state-by-state federal fund allotment, technology, BARRIERS WHERE PRACTICAL, mutually beneficial US/Mexican economic policies...It's a huge thing. Unfortunately, Trump is a small, petty manchild with a big ego.

  13688. People Party - I'm only asking you about the one specific manner of fraud you mentioned. How did they do it?

  13689. How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  13690.  @AmericanToucan  Individual voter fraud makes no sense. From a risk vs. reward standpoint, it's absurd. No reasonable person commits a felony - even with a low chance of getting caught - to get in an extra vote or two in an electoral college system where those extra votes will almost certainly make no difference. The only way individual fraud could make a difference is if it is coordinated on a massive scale. That also makes no sense, because to recruit enough voters to make a difference would be impossible without getting caught. It's for the same reason these "left wing deep state" conspiracy theories make no sense. To find out who is willing to break the law for you requires approaching way too many people to keep it secret. There were no "extra" ballots. There are VOTER ROLLS. A LIST of registered voters. Even if you got away with perfectly counterfeiting a ballot, a machine is not going to accept two ballots from the same voter. You can't use the identity of a registered voter, even if you forged a signature, because you wouldn't know if the actual person voted or not. The idea of "dead people" voting is absurd. It would have to be coordinated on a massive scale and done in concert with other methods of fraud to make any significant difference. An individual acting alone would have to be crazy. "Hey, my wife died this year. Goody! Now I can commit a felony by forging her signature to obtain an extra ballot and vote in her name in a system where, if the state comes down to one vote, I can swing it to Biden!" And why on Earth would it be that only Democrats would do that? Republican voters are just more ethical? It makes no sense! There was fraud. An Iowa Republican woman voted twice. A Qanon Postal worker threw away mail in garbage bags in front of his home. A Republican voted for his dead mother and aunt.

Anyone who can complain about Obama lying and support Trump is a pure hypocrite.

In the contract that surrogates of the DNC - not Hillary - signed with Fusion GPS, they agreed to not ask about Fusion's methods. Furthermore, Steele did not give the information he gathered to the Clinton campaign. He reported it to the FBI. And by the way, the Republicans hired Fusion GPS first.

  13711. Trump is probably the first president to tell the public he's a "germaphobe." (Of course, he said it to defend himself against allegations that he groped a woman on a plane. Everyone knows cooties come from touching girls' butts). So, the first germaphobic president treats the biggest pandemic in a century like it's nothing to be concerned about.

  13712. Trumpers, may I suggest "libertard" instead of "lib-tard"? Doesn't that flow better? Without the adjacent consonants? I wouldn't say "Repubtard". I'd say "Republitard" if I wanted to sound as stupid as you freaks. Damn, you can't even get insults right!

  13715. Jsmes Wagner - Which one is it? You don't believe the Russians even meddled ("show me proof"), or that hacking our parties and voter rolls is acceptable because we, ourselves try to influence foreign elections? If it's the former, you're just stupid. The latter is "two wrongs make a right". Wrong. And there is no equivalency between Russian and US tactics. But that's neither here nor there, because I expect the Russians to fuck with us. What's infuriating is Americans helping and using them. Any probe into the meddling HAS TO include whether or not Americans were involved, and a probe is absolutely necessary. Trump just has to make everything about himself.

"No drama Obama" had the least number of scandals in history. What "corruption"? Trump literally had more associates and cabinet members charged with crimes and ousted in scandal IN HISTORY. You are incredibly ignorant.
    1
  13718.  @hypnotoad8871  ... No corruption with Trump?? There is very credible evidence he committed tax fraud, bank fraud, and FEC fraud. He was impeached twice. He dangled pardons, and when caught, he said he was "joking". He altered an official weather assessment, which is a crime. He incited a riot at the Capitol. He colluded, yes, COLLUDED with Russia to win an election, then declared what he did WAS OKAY and tried AGAIN with pro-Russian members of the Ukrainian Parliament and the Chinese. He lied about the pandemic. He broke local COVID regulations to hold rallies where he removed social distancing stickers from seats. He made OVER 25,000 false and/or misleading statements in 4 years. Compare that to Obama, who made 143 in 8 years. Obama took the unemployment rate from 10% to 5%. He bailed out the auto industry and the banks, who repaid all of the money. Trump only lowered unemployment by less than 1% more when he took over, and left office with record high unemployment. Mueller did NOT say there was no collusion. He found ten instances of obstruction, and yes, COLLUSION, which simply means cooperation. It's not a crime statute. He didn't recommend charging the crime of CONSPIRACY because 1)- Trump was a sitting president, and 2)- It was hard to prove INTENT, ie, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring. - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

Something about those MAGA hats and the color, red". 10)- My Dad was Rush Limbaugh's drug dealer.

  13726. Hey, MAGA World, pretend it was Biden who, while leaving office, took 15 boxes of documents from the National Archives while insisting the election was stolen, refusing to ACCEPT THE RULINGS OF 61 JUDGES, refusing a peaceful transfer of power, and inviting an armed mob to STORM THE US CAPITOL. "Let's have trial by combat!" said Trump's lawyer, to the mob on 1/6. Pretend Biden also took those documents while under multiple investigations. Would you be okay with that? If Barack Obama did that? Bill Clinton? Would you DEFEND that? And speaking of your devil, what about Hillary's emails?? Trumpers have this blind eye for the massive, intentional mishandling of classified information by the Trump Administration. You can't have it both ways. If you think she should be locked up, so should he and for longer. You thought Hillary was reckless with information ten years ago. SHE WAS INVESTIGATED. She admitted doing it. It's over. And Hunter Biden is also being investigated, so what more do you want? It seems you people never try to understand the process of things. This is about Donald Trump. If ANY other actual US President did what he did, do you seriously think there wouldn't be an investigation? That one wouldn't be absolutely called for? What If it were Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? All of those things Trump did and said as President that "we just hate him" for - If Biden did or said them..? What about Obama? If Hillary had become President? All you have are whataboutisms and accusations about the "deep state". WHO are you talking about? You're saying the only way to explain it is this shadowy, evil left-wing network of political crooks who have invaded every agency including the military, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Archives. All this "election stealing" on every level from Biden to the Chinese to regular Dem voters...any ACTUAL SUSPECTS? Other than your President harassing and defaming three female generations of volunteer poll workers in Georgia. I hope they sue Trump for every dime. Anyone who cries about the "deep state" doesn't understand the basics of separation of powers or even the fundamentals of how the US government works. How many more REPUBLICAN TRUMP WORLD INSIDERS have to all paint the same picture of him before you get it? They're ALL lying? They're all "out to get him" and "just don't like him"? They all wanted to put themselves through hell? Think. Until you can say you would defend any other President acting this way, any arguments you make to defend Trump are simply tribal, mindlessly biased, in bad faith, and therefore moot.

They'll fight among themselves until they say, "Hey, we're forgetting who the 'real enemy' is - The Democrats! How do we blame THEM for this?" Republicans only care about getting and keeping the job, but never DOING the job of governing. It's why Trump's method of exacerbating and misdirecting grievance worked so well. If Dems came up with a foolproof plan to cure cancer and bring world peace, Republicans would oppose it and try to claim it as their own before they'd ever give Dems credit.

  13737.  @frankferrandiz1311  If she is guilty, then Trump is. You can't have it both ways. "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States the chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" - Donald Trump, 2:24 PM, Jan 6, 2021, during the riot. He didn't just incite it. Trump was the LEADER OF THE MOB. While aware the US Capitol was under seize and the Vice President was being hunted down, instead of immediately calling for backup and calling for calm, the President of the United States told the public and the rioters that his own VP lacked courage to do what he LITERALLY HAD NO POWER TO DO. He exclaimed that the country demanded truth as he blatantly lied to the country by saying vote counts had been "corrected" when none had. (All recounts were highly accurate. Trump failed at 61 court challenges. The DOJ had nobody to suspect of fraud, and no evidence that a crime had even occurred. Trump's own election security chief concluded 2020 was the safest election in US history). As rioters continued to maim and kill police at the US Capitol while hunting down Congress members, an AMERICAN PRESIDENT told a Congressman that it was an Antifa false flag attack, and argued against making a public statement to call-off the insurrectionists, telling him, "I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."

  13738. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  13739.  @jimbarrow3868  - Blacks are statistically less likely to have ID, and statistically very likely to vote Democrat. Those are FACTS. Do you really believe the Republicans are NOT factoring in the statistics when they draft these laws? That would be just, plain naive. This is not complicated, but so many of you people just refuse to get it. It doesn't matter WHY Blacks are less likely to have ID. They simply are. That's the statistic. That's what the Republicans are basing it on. It does not matter here what else requires ID or why someone doesn't have one. IT JUST IS. THAT'S JUST THE FACT. THAT IS MY POINT.

  13742.  @Maximustard  - Then you should pay attention to what is actually happening before you decide you're going to think you know and then argue about it while refusing to accept you have ever been corrected. Yes, Mr. "We should get along with Russia and work with them" did exactly what he said. Are you agreeing that it would have been a bad thing to do that? And you can't accept he did a bad thing? He said it over the course of a week or so, several times, a few years ago. Look it up yourself. You might learn something. You people are unbelievable.

He speaks in tangents upon tangents. It always amazes me that you peoole do that. And why would you ever think CNN was the "gold standard"? It's the McDonalds of news. But the facts are over 99% accurate. There is fact, opinion, and analysis. You should learn the difference.

  13749. Giuliani was part of the campaign. I used to think he acted that way because he probably wasn't part of the Russian collusion, and just didn't give a damn. But now, I'm thinking that maybe he was part of it. My leading theory, though, is that he is simply getting old and batty, and probably loaded with pharmaceuticals all the time.

There are factors like how long it's been up, what Youtube suggests based on your habits, the subject of the video...And Mark Dice isn't news. It's editorial. Apples and oranges. You can get a basic piece of news from anywhere else. There is only one place to watch the most obnoxious jackass on Youtube. Apples and oranges. Plus, I suspect the idiots who watch Dice have a higher unemployment rate. More time to watch. Should I go on? And you're pretty presumptuous. Do you think I'm a hippie because of the yin-yang? SMH.

  13764. T Boned - Those "handlers" paid back the money with interest. Even Trump admitted Obama was born in the US. Are you really trying to play the dishonesty card when Trump just told his 12,000th lie? He lied about how many floors are in his buildings. He lied about making deals with the Russians. He called talk shows and said he was someone else...You want to even go there?

  13766. MSM bashers - When the media says, "Michael Cohen is fiercely loyal to Trump", it is based on one statement - "I would take a bullet for him". That's a narrative. (They have to have a narrative. It's how you report a story). You can take or leave the narrative. However, it is a FACT that Cohen did say it. You can't just take or leave that. Get it? Don't accept Trump's new definition of "fake" as meaning false. It's how the line gets blurred. Fake means false. "Fake news" means it's an imposter outlet and/or a lie. BIASED means biased. If you don't like the narrative, ignore it. If you don't like the facts, deal with it. Editorial is not fact. What a guest says ON CNN is not a statement BY CNN. You want discussion panels to represent differing opinions, right? Well, then someone on the panel is going to say something you don't agree with. Learn something about what you're bashing. YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are "drinking the Kool-aid". Stop thinking you have healthy skepticism and a sense for who is bullshitting you. If you trust Trump, you are not a good judge of character. If "fake news", is your mantra, YOU are so much more biased than the news media ever could be.

  13770. They aren't "pushing" anybody. Every time a candidate is on the news, whoever it is, a bunch of idiots will comment that they are pushing them. In two days, if it's another candidate, you'll say they're pushing them. Their editorial department will endorse one candidate. Until then, they're just reporting on an election, and the candidates themselves call the news outlets and ask for interviews. Is CNN supposed to say, "No, we don't want to interview you"?

  13772. The intel community absolutely should have been watching the Russians. They did just that, and it lead to Trump. Just like when intelligence was listening to a Russian ambassador /spy, and heard Michael Flynn on the other end of the conversation.
    1
  13773. 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?
    1
  13774. Lupee Ves II - Insufficient to charge Conspiracy, due to questions about intent. Mueller couldn't prove that Trump and his people were smart enough to know they broke the law, not that they didn't break it. They did collude. Collusion is the cooperation, which they clearly did. Mueller SPECIFICALLY said he could NOT clear Trump for the crime of Obstruction, which he couldn't charge due to DOJ guidelines, and said it should be taken up by another body, ie. Congress, meaning possible IMPEACHMENT. My "moot" point, as you say, was about the difference between criminal and counterintelligence probes versus political spying.

  13775.  @donalkinsella4380  - Then you clearly have no interest in it.

  13776. 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?

  13778. Remember, during the Clinton impeachment, when Republicans kept insisting that character matters? Remember when Howard Dean sunk his campaign by making a funny noise at a rally? Remember when domestic political squabbles stopped at the water's edge? Remember when Obama was condemned for one falsehood about health care? For wearing a tan suit? Remember when there was a limit to how much lying we would tolerate from a politician? How much lying do you tolerate from your family, friends, colleagues, and companies you choose to patronize? Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  13783. David Peterson - Every President since Nixon has shown their tax returns. It's a matter of showing good faith. Trump, especially, should show his because of his businesses and conflicts. He is OBVIOUSLY LYING about why he won't show them, and that's why people should want to see them. Common sense. Mueller has the right to see them because of the suspicion Trump has aroused - enough to get himself investigated by a Special Council. And you can't say "witch hunt" when 16 of Trump's associates lied about their Russian contacts. No Trump defender can tell me they would think that was nothing if it was Obama. In the words of Richard Nixon - "People deserve to know if their president is a crook".
    1
  13784. Daulton Horton - Yeah. That's the problem. You people don't care. Seriously? You don't care if the President is beholden to foreign powers or special interests? Do you know how many things suggest that he IS? Tell me you would feel the same way if it was Obama. You can not care if your President is a crook all you want. I hope you'll care so little you won't bother to vote.

  13795. Hell no, he wasn't joking, and if he had been, he should still be impeached for being that stupid. He used that "joking" excuse about dangling pardons to get his wall built quickly. DEMS NEED TO INVESTIGATE THAT. They need to subpoena everyone he supposedly joked to, and ask them if they took it as a joke or took action.

  13796. Patrick O'Callaghan - At first, I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt. We haven't seen evidence of Trump being in on it - but then, he tweeted that it was "fake news". It's clearly not fake news. Obviously, it's a real investigation. So why is he getting defensive?

They don't WANT people thinking too much about it, because then they might realize how ridiculous it is. They don't want to get answers. They want their team to win.

How do you people live in such denial?? Trump is obviously using the pandemic to stage a battle in his culture war. The Tulsa rally was literally the biggest gathering ON EARTH since thuisis began, and it was spiking in Tulsa. He used it to say juvenile crap like calling it "kung flu". DOES HE ACTUALLY SEEM LIKE SOMEONE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY TO YOU?? If so, you are willfully blind or a complete moron. Wake up.

We KNOW it's crazy town over there, for one thing, because the op-ed was written in the first place. Not to mention, the TONS of evidence that there is constant disarray. Common sense, man. Don't make this about CNN. CNN reports the same FACTS as every outlet out there, with the exception if FOX News - Which, by the way, coordinates with Trump! Do you understand the gravity of that? That's like media-run state. It's a feedback loop. Do you think FOX News is biased? You MSM bashers are so ignorant about how journalism works. Strictly speaking of network news - there is FOX News on the "right", and EVERYONE ELSE on the "left". What should that tell you?
    1
  13826. Moderate American - Just because I'm not writing a book back to you to refute your ignorant comments doesn't mean I'm agreeing with you about "bias". Let's be very clear about that. How do I put this...? Say you have a group of 20 people huddled together in a bunch. An observer is looking on. Some are on that observer"s left side. Some on the right, but they are basically all in a bunch. Then, one person walks up to the bunch, gives one a tape measure, and stands 20 feet to the right of the bunch. Does that make the ten foot mark the center? No. It's still just one person. It's a false equivalency. I don't know if you are a FOX News viewer or not, but if you are, you are a hypocrite - end of story. Like I said, Trump coordinates with FOX News. That is state-run media. That is media-run state. For that jackass - who has planted stories in the media all his life and used to phone call-in shows pretending to be his own publicist - to complain about media bias is ridiculous. You CNN bashers don't seem to get the difference between FACT and OPINION. Saying "fake news" is ignoring that point. Who gives a shit what vibe you get from a report. What the tone of the reporter is. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, partly government funded PBS, British BBC...ALL report the same FACTS. The media IS biased - Toward common sense. Toward truth. They sensationalize, yes. But to say the news media somehow has a liberal agenda is absurd. You think you're such a businessperson, you should understand that it doesn't make sense for the news media to have a political agenda from a business standpoint. Trump is term-limited. Events change. There are crooks and there come crazy stories from both sides of the aisle. "Fake news" is a ridiculous term. "Fake news" means a website or outlet is an imposter - You think you're seeing ABC News, when it is counterfeit. "Bias" is choosing to run stories, and to not run others, to fit a narrative. A lie is a lie is a lie, period. The MSM runs exactly what has always been considered newsworthy. You just can't accept the FACTS.

It's so much easier and more likely to succeed when they're young.

Dems don't want to keep it going, but only to honor it for those who were already in the program, so there is no incentive to come here illegally because of it. Limited amnesties work. They free up resources.

  13833. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  13834. If Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..," then asked Ukraine and China to investigate Trump, and insisted that soliciting foreign help was fair oppo research... If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

It is beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! We're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. And don't tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry.

  13841.  @aliasrose  Wrong. The 2016 polls were not wrong! National polls reflect the popular vote, which Clinton WON. Plus, there's usually a 3 point margin of error. Campaigns' own internal polling always closely matches up with news outlet polls and independent polls. THINK. Say CNN wanted to make Clinton look like she was farther ahead than she was. How many points would they add? Not 20, not even 10. Why? Because news outlets sell their ACCURACY. That's how they get sponsorship. They don't want to be outliers. So to add a few points, they'd risk being the outlier? Another thing it presumes, too, is that they're just SO dedicated to a Democrat candidate. They aren't working for the DNC. They work for MONEY, which means sponsors. Not to mention, false positives HURT Clinton in 2016. They HURT her chances, because Dems thought she had it in the bag. Then, there's the even more absurd idea that Gallup and Quinnipiac are also in cahoots with the DNC. They are not. They're whole existence is for accuracy. This whole mode of thought is so dumb - "No way MY favorite is losing! They must be lying! It's a conspiracy!" and they blame the messenger. Do you know why districts are gerrymandered like they are, with surgical precision? Because of polls. Politicians know polling works.

  13845.  @aliasrose  Absolutely. FOX News is mainstream media. And it isn't "conservative." It's radical. If there's a group of 15 people in front of you and one moves to right, does that make the other 14 the left? The center in distance is halfway between, but the center of gravity is still right there with the group. FOX News has no competition in right wing conservative media because any outlet that would comoete with them would have to be more fact-oriented. Then they'd be called "the left"!

  13854.  @aliasrose  Because FOX News is pure crap. There is no compare. CNN is the McDonalds of news. Let's say ingredients are FACTS. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. Even the slime comes from a real cow. If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS. FOX News can't pass the health inspection.

  13856.  @aliasrose  Narratives are necessary to EXPLAIN the news. There is a difference between FACT and OPINION. Media critics are always talking about "propaganda" and "brainwashing." What's so hard about accepting the FACTS even if you don't agree with the OPINION? Your focus shouldn't be on trying to decifer some ulterior motive. For instance, when CNN (and everyone else) reported that Trump's people lied about contacts with Russians to help his election bid, that was FACT. It doesn't matter what some pundit said ABOUT it. Form your own opinion. But the FACT remains that they lied. Period. End of story. If that sounds like Trump bashing, it was because the FACTS don't look good. Stop shooting the messenger. I get so sick of people telling me that I'm brainwashed. I'm not. I formed my OWN opinion based on the FACTS. It's as simple as that. All you hyper media critics have a real problem accepting the truth. And you have this false idea that MSM are loyal to Democrats. It's just not true. They are loyal to MONEY, which is not blue or red. It's green. Ever consider the possibility that the facts simply favor those on the left? Why do you think there is only one FOX News, but on the other "side" there is CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, WaPO..? Watch PBS, and you'll see the same stories as on the "left wing" media, and PBS is partially government funded - by the government dominated by Republicans. BBC, same thing, and it isn't even American. Donald Trump COORDUNATES WITH FOX NEWS. He talks to Sean Hannity and Rupert Murdoch constantly, and has called it "my" outlet, yet the biggest MSM critics call the other networks propaganda! You are judging the TONE instead of listening to the FACTS, which they do not lie about. And nobody who complains about deceit while supporting Trump can be taken seriously because he is a proven habitual liar.

  13857. MSM critics - -- Learn the difference between FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. -- Lying is knowing a FACT and saying otherwise. An OPINION can't be a lie. -- MSM can't "cover up" anything because. MSM are not the sole gatekeepers of information. -- Those "CNN green screen faked" Youtube videos are complete BS. -- "Enemy of the people" is a term coined by Joseph Stalin. The POTUS using it like a parrot with fake news turrets syndrome should bother you. -- Typing into a Youtube search box, looking for some journalist wannabe to confirm your bias is not "research". -- Sometimes, alternative is good. NOT the case with news. Big media outlets can afford editors, FACT CHECKERS, planes, trucks, high-priced reporters whose reputations are their assets, and INSIDE SOURCES. Mark Dice doesn't know people at the Pentagon. -- MSM isn't controlled by the DNC or the CIA. They're controlled by ADVERTISERS. They're motivated by money, not politics. It makes no sense to limit themselves to one political party. MSM will and DO report on Dems behaving badly. -- You can complain about corporate media, but corporations are CAPITALIST, not socialist. Capitalism is based on competition. Outlets compete to get the most accurate information out there first. MSM are obnoxious and sensational, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Facts are facts. -- They HAVE TO use narratives. It's how they sell their product - information. ANALYSIS helps viewers understand the raw information. -- If you only watch "liberal" media to look for bias, then YOU are engaging in confirmation bias.

  13858.  @aliasrose  If you're implying they cut off the protest coverage with Boyz 2 Men, I think you have it backwards. They cut off the song to cover the protest. They obviously planned to show the performance at the start of the song. It's sloppy production value otherwise. If they wanted to black out the protest, why show it at all? There are always protests at those conventions. Some little protest is just not worth it. They're not trying to present a narrative that Dems are so great that nobody complains about them. It would be impossible to do their jobs if they were always worried about framing events within a pro-Dem narrative. CNN did LOTS of stories critical of Dems during the Obama years. I often agreed. Obama started pissing me off on sometimes in his second term. I got the info from MSM. I've seen the media be TOO CRITICAL of liberals lately because they're trying too hard to prove they aren't "fake news." He used a bad choice of words, but when Chris Cuomo said that calling him "fake" was as offensive as calling a black person the N-word, I believe he was sincere. Journalists don't just appear one day on CNN or MSNBC ready to do the bidding of liberals. Think of where they came from. Say you start on the high school paper. You take Mass Comm classes in college, learn about reporting techniques, about Murrow and Cronkite, how to interview, get people to open up, expose scams, fact checking, legalities...You work a demanding schedule on local news for little pay...You dedicate your career to it. You dream of exposing crooked politicians, but only if they're Republicans? Say you land a job at CNN. Then, you're told to forget all you've learned. "Just read the copy. You're working for a political party now." That makes as little sense as thinking career FBI and CIA agents only care about politics and keeping Dems in office. They're cops, not politicians. Reporters are journalists, not politicians. There's more going on than just sitting behind a desk and reading propaganda. Stories are bumped and reports cut off for many reasons. It's a constant struggle to prioritize and balance changing events with their plans. What I saw in that video was a bad segue and bad timing. I saw them covering a protest they wouldn't have covered at all if they were pushing a liberal agenda. I don't even really like CNN. I watch PBS, Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow, but I don't see propaganda when I watch CNN. I just see obnoxious sensationalism.

  13859.  @tannerstokes1132  Yes, they played both sides to divide people IN ORDER TO favor Trump. Putin absolutely hated Clinton because she was a thorn in his side while she was Secretary of State. He definitely wanted to stop her from being elected. Putin blames her for protests in Russia. He definitely wanted Trump. Look what Trump did - He worked hard to lift sanctions we put on Russia for meddling and for invading Ukraine. Trump has given Putin everything he wants. Don't be fooled. Trump is NOT hard on Russia.

  13860.  @rockcommen1106  Obama helped pull us out of the great recession. He cut unemployment in half. Trump inherited that economy. All Trump has done is NOT screw up the trend. I'll give him some credit for that, not screwing it up, (except he's screwing it up now with his pandemic response). All Trump did economically was agree to the Republican tax cuts, which gave us a record deficit. Don't hold your breath for that wealth to trickle down. Trump touts his trade war with China, but all that is is an import tariff on US importers. China won't stop stealing intellectual property over it because first they'd have to admit they're even doing it. Trump is flat-out lyingvwhen he says jobs are coming back from overseas.

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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - "Russia, if you're listening..." - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - The Special Council's office arrested and charged a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, 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. - During the 2016 campaign, 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 and failed to register as a foreign agent. - Flynn was fired as National Security Advisor for denying that he secretly discussed lifting newly imposed sanctions on Russia with Russian ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition. After resisting, Trump was ultimately forced to fire Flynn, who was subsequently convicted of lying to the FBI. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

I thought that when something hit home for them, the blind loyalty would end. But a pandemic plus protests in every city didn't really do it, so now, I don't know.

(19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit foward against Trump University.

He used that phone to look at intel on North Korea in mixed company at Mar-a-Lago. He allowed Putin to know he was lying to us about a real estate deal in Moscow. Big no-no. He could be blackmailed.

I'm afraid they won't take it seriously until the damage hits home.

  13889. deebo I - WTF does that even mean? "Admit" implies - as you people seem to think - that CNN KNOWS all the facts and is purposely covering them up. Because months ago, one CNN anchor said "nothingburger" means it's all bullshit? You may think there is nothing there, but it is ABSURD to act like there isn't reason for suspicion - or even an investigation into the Russian attack AT ALL, "collusion" or not! Especially if you are one of those people who sees corruption in any mention of Hillary Clinton! Do you people put whiskey on your Wheaties in the morning? What accounts for such irrationality??

  13891. There is no bottom with the "Trump wing" of the right. It's more like they reached a critical mass of supporters and collapsed into a black hole - No "bottom", and no return. Establishment Republicans should grow balls and purge the deplorables. Why do they have to announce their retirement before they get courageous? I'm a liberal. I miss the devil I knew - Republicans with whom I disagreed on policy, not decency and common sense.

  13892. @trialbywombat3841 - It was not found to be not a crime. There was just so little intent with Hillary that no reasonable prosecutor would win that case. But by going after Hillary like that, Trump is ostensibly saying that it is a crime and should be prosecuted. And there's all kinds of intent there. When you point the finger and say "what about..?" you are IMPLICATING YOURSELF in the process. Get it?

  13895. I want the media to only talk about Trump's accomplishments, like he wants, for a whole news cycle. Give the baby his bottle. - Supreme Court justice - He picked a name from a list. How the hell is that a major accomplishment? It was a list made by a far-right group, which broke protocol, whereby usually they at least confer with an opposing party. Plus, the Republicans sidelined Obama's pick to do it. It would have been an accomplishment to NOT appoint a justice. - North Korea - Anyone seen the headlines today? - Low unemployment - Look at the trend over the past 10 years. Thanks, Obama. - Stock Market - Of course it was going to rally because big investors and corporations knew he was going to give a massive tax cut to the very rich. That's called a bubble. Bubbles burst. - Tax cuts - Again, for the richest. Just wait and see how wealth inequality grows. - Immigration - Sure, he's deporting a lot of people. And separating families, violating civil rights, and breeding xenophobia to do it. - Trade - Trade wars and dubious actions with regard to China that sure looks like selling out the country... Yeah, media, talk about his "accomplishments"!

  13896. Trump's COVID-19 response has been a complete failure, and will go down in history such. Full stop. Yes, he lied and deceived. Yes, there was much more he could have done, and even more he could have REFRAINED from doing. To say stopping some flights from China was a heroic, major step is like saying that clocking in to work and leaving after ten minutes is working a full day. Most of the world handled it much better, and we see the proof. That isn't up for debate. We have proof on tape that Trump consciously deceived us. Again, not up for debate. He blamed China, but he did much less than they did. He ignored and REFUTED expert advice. He pushed conspiracy theories and quack cures. He manipulated data. He removed social distance stickers from seats at rallies. He broke local laws to hold those rallies, which is infuriatingly disrespectful. And once again, upon being proven wrong, he is doubling down on the behavior because he is a contrarian with ODD who is literally incapable of admitting, even to himself, that he screwed up. If ANY aspect of ANY crisis reflects poorly on him, he will lie. He always has, and always will.

  13897.  @livid7594  I can just as easily say look at all the problems guns can cause, and the statistics are on my side. Part of the problem is that some, not all, but a significant number of gun owners think too much about situations guns can solve until it eats up their brains. I am nit anti-gun at all, but I do think this needs to be addressed in a practical way.

  13899. Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you talk about climate change, a lot of people hear "culture war", and they tune out. But when you call it POLLUTION, more people listen. If you call the current movement a battle against racism, a lot of people hear "culture war". They make it about politics and tune out. If you call it a struggle to end POLICE BRUTALITY, more people will listen. Yes, the brutality is largely feuled by racism, but cops brutalize whites, too. We can and should demand legislation to end it. You can't demand an end to racism or legislate it away. It's a matter of STRATEGY. If you demand to DEFUND the police departments, you will be called an anarchist liberal, and you create conflict between the cops and the public. Aren't we trying to bring the two together? Those crying "defund!" will say, "But what we mean by 'defund' is RESTRUCTURE". Well, then just call it RESTRUCTURING. Strategize. Think.

  13905. Mike Pence, when asked if the Trump campaign had any contacts with the Russians, said, "Of course not, WHY WOULD THERE BE?" That is very noteworthy, because they want us to believe all of those meetings (which 9 of them lied about) were all normal for a campaign. They are not. Trump owes us an explanation...Trump still maintains he doesn't think the Russians even meddled. BUT HIS OWN SON MET WITH THEM TO GET DIRT ON CLINTON! They reached out to Don Jr, and Don Jr, George Papadopoulos, Peter Smith, and Roger Stone ADMITTED to reaching out to the Russians! "Bottom line, there was no collusion", as Trump says, does not cut it. At the very least, there was attempted collusion from BOTH SIDES. They must be made to explain! And these idiots Trump followers say the press and the Dems are too HARD on him?? They've been too easy! This is madness.

  13921. Black face is racist because it was used in the past by white stage actors to portray blacks as sub-human. If Don Lemon wanted to educate people, he could have said that instead of acting self-righteous. Megyn Kelly clearly wasn't advocating for black face. It SHOULDN'T be offensive, but it is, and it IS ridiculous to say you can dress up like people on Halloween in every way except the color of your face, but black face is just one of those things that's too loaded with racism to use, like labeling yourself a nationalist. There's no need to go there. But if we make it a slippery slope and include every little emulation of any ethnic group off limits, then we might as well abolish Halloween and all hire lawyers to tell us what we can and can't say in mixed company. Whites - Don't use the N-word or black face. Blacks - Don't get offended by the Dukes of Hazard because they had a Confederate flag on their car. Everyone - Don't take offense when it isn't intended, and realize some words and practices are too loaded with baggage to use in a non-offensive way.

  13922. The Dems and the "liberal" media should stop focusing on Trump's racism so much. No, the Dems and the media are NOT RACIST, NOR ARE THEY RACE BAITERS. That's pure projection. Trump is a race baiter. Fishing is a good analogy. He casts the line and stirs them up to the surface, but they still stay below the surface. He has the "fish" arguing back, "PROVE he's a racist", but unless someone is a member of the Klan, it's impossible to "prove" they're a racist. Trump feeds on that. Whether he wants to be taken literally or figuratively depends on whatever serves his interests in the moment. Yes, his words are racist, xenophobic, and bigoted. If you know that 54%, or even 20% are going to be offended by what you say, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT, you just refrain from saying it. Period! But the fact remains that Trump followers will keep calling Democrats and media pundits racist for calling out racism. "Oh, so EVERYTHING is racist?!" I know, their gaslighting is frustrating. Morally, the left is right, but strategically, the left is wrong. His attacks on the "squad" were racist, but the media and the Dems focused too much on that, and neglected to point out how UN-AMERICAN and dictatorial it is to say, "If you don't like what I'm doing, you can leave". Racist? Yes, but also reckless, petty, vindictive, immature, un-American, dictatorial, and HYPOCRITICAL. He had the nerve to complain about their complaining? Trump is the biggest, whiniest complainer on the planet! But we can't be goaded into playing HIS game. This country of IMMIGRANTS was FOUNDED on the right to criticize. We fought WWII to stop the Nazis. Black people fought and died for this country way before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Hispanic non-citizens fought and died in the Iraq war, and Trump wants to deny them citizenship and deport their families! An "invasion" from the South? Invaders bring weapons looking to kill people. They don't bring hedge clippers and gardening gloves, looking for a job. Trump calls our amigos rapists and invaders while he ignores Putin's attempts to strike the heart of democracy - free and fair elections. Is it strategy or distraction? It's both and neither. Trump has no strategy. He just says and tweets the stupid shit he feels. Then his STRATEGISTS make lemonade from the lemons he drops. Who can keep up with what he is distracting from or even pissed-off about? He always has something he doesn't want out there, and he's always pissed. He's a stupid, stubborn, bitter, old man with a narcissistic personality disorder. What works in his interest is the race-baiting. He isn't reaching out to ANY new voters. He's desperate to keep the base he has. For Trump, it's not about DOING the job, but about KEEPING the job. HAVING the job is tied to his fragile ego. I want the Dems and media to point out his bigotry without putting it front and center. They're just inviting that "prove it" crap from the right, and neglecting to show how ELSE he is out of line.

  13936. So, on The First 48, or one of those reality crime shows, a detective is watching his partner interrogate a suspect in another room on a monitor. The suspect says something to incriminate himself. If the detective watching pumps his fist and says, "Yeah! We got that son of a bitch!", is that bias? Should they shut down the investigation? What about when they're at the cop bar after work? What do off-duty detectives talk about? What if you were spying the cops and listening for them to say things you can point to as bias? What if you had the legal power to obtain all of the cops' texts and emails? And you STILL can't find anything except the words "secret society" and "insurance policy" - not just taken out of context - but providing no context at all, only the suggestion that it sounds nefarious. It has a shady feel to it. WTF?? This is what Sean Hannity is having a hissy fit over? They're going the Mark Fuhrman route and trying to discredit the cops. But where Fuhrman was prejudiced against blacks, supposedly the FBI is prejudiced against... Republicans? No. Mueller, Rosenstein, McCabe, Comey, and Ray are all Republicans....just biased against Trump? Yeah. There's a whole deep state secret society out to get Trump because he's so sincere and he just keeps it too real. Do you Trumpers ever consider the possibility that Trump is trying to hide something here and knows he has broken the law? That just maybe this Russia investigation isn't just a good idea, but it is NECESSARY?

  13953. Trump isn't looking for corruption and conspiracies. He's fishing for conspiracy THEORIES. He knows there's no dirt to dig up. He wants something to give weight to his suggestion of corruption, and 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. The hypocrisy and projection is astounding. How could the Mueller probe be a witch hunt, and the Biden and Clinton fishing expeditions not be witch hunts? How could the Steele dossier be collusion, and the Trump Tower meeting not be collusion? It comes down to PROBABLE CAUSE and REASONABLE SUSPICION. The FBI had reasons to investigate Russian meddling, whether or not Trump was involved. Mueller had good reasons to investigate Trump. It made sense that the Trump campaign might have been colluding with Russia. It made NO sense that the DNC would have been colluding with Russia. There's no probable cause to look into the Bidens, much less to ask foreign countries to do so, ESPECIALLY when the subject is an American elder statesman, AND Trump's chief political rival.

  13966. The hair and makeup...

  13967. Trump is putting forth two contradictory defenses. One is that there was no quid pro quo. He didn't hold up the aid and a White House meeting until the Ukrainians announced investigations. He didn't know Lev Parnas, and Parnas was not conducting shadow foreign policy in Ukraine. The other is that he did these things, but that it was perfectly legal. He was fighting corruption in Ukraine. The first one is easy to disprove. Trump is on tape talking shop with Lev Parnas. Mick Mulvaney said there was a quid pro quo. So did Sondland, and about a dozen other witnesses, in sworn testimony. The second is just as easy to disprove. If this was a legitimate anti-corruption initiative, why the secrecy? Why did he hide the record of that phone call on a super-secure hard drive? Why did the whistleblower make his/her complaint? It was legit, but nobody explained that? Why did the IG determine that the complaint had merit? If Trump was just fighting corruption, why did he remove the ambassador to Ukraine whose specialty it was to root out corruption in Ukraine? Of all of the potential corruption there, why now go after Biden, his biggest political threat, for stuff that happened years ago? And the "server"? Why make up such an utterly, totally, ridiculously absurd thing to investigate? If the Ukrainian government hacked our election, why have them INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES? Why push for only the ANNOUNCEMENT of these probes, and not actual probes? Zelinsky never did the investigations or announce them. So why did Trump finally release the aid? These things are obvious to those who aren't turning a blind eye to them.

  13972. Trumpist Republicans don't want a secure election. When it's secure, they can't complain and claim there's fraud. When they're in power, it's a conflict for them because it's harder to claim they're oppressed. The way they remedy that is by concocting "deep state" conspiracy thories. "It's really the Democrats who are controlling things." Scroll down under FOX News videos. There are lots of comments that say, "Nothing will get done. Treasonous Dems will never be prosecuted because the deep state is protecting its own people." Then, they have their excuse. A major trait of conspiracy theorists is a need to feel they're being screwed and to say they KNOW they're being screwed, so they don't feel like fools. The irony is that attitude is what gets them screwed.

How would a president who NEVER HAD AN APPROVAL RATING OVER 50% and was 10 points behind his opponent win?? How did this "fraud" work? Who organized it? Was it individual voters acting alone? Coordinated by a ringleader? Poll workers? Dominion? Election officials, county and state? The DNC? Joe Biden himself? Was it such a massive plot that it involved people on EVERY level in EVERY WAY? Did everyone involved know it was happening on every level? That's what Trump claims - that EVERYONE was in on it, even Republicans. According to him, even the media knew, (only the "liberal" media, of course). Half of the country pulled-off this scheme right under the nose of the other half. The evil geniuses did it without leaving a shred of evidence. No paper trail. No informants. Poll workers who knew they were on camera just did it anyway, right in front of EVERYBODY.

  13979. kellerr13 - ...And news flash - The Clinton email scandal is OVER. It was concluded that, while she acted recklessly, it was not done with malicious intent, and no reasonable prosecutor would persue it. What do you expect to happen? Do you think that's how justice works? Keep trying people over and over until you get a conviction? Benghazi was probed 8 TIMES. The Uranium One allegations are pure bs you can easily fact check. If Clinton lied about when she first heard about that dossier, so what? That isn't a crime. Hiring Fusion GPS (Done first by Trump's REPUBLICAN primary opponents) is not a crime, either. If Fusion GPS crossed a line on gathering their information, It's on them. AND HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT PRESIDENT. She hasn't been Secretary of State in over 5 years. Trump is president now, and every day, we are learning more and more about how his entire campaign was practically centered around Russia. We know the campaign colluded. Not "possibly". They colluded. Papadopoulis has confessed to it. So has Don Jr. We can now be absolutely sure that Trump knew, from several different sources, that the Russians were actively attacking us long before he made his "fat guy on his bed" remark. Long before. What is wrong with you people? He won't admit that Russia EVEN DID ANYTHING. Do you think national security is a game?

  13980. From ABC News - In late 2014, the State Department asked Clinton and other former secretaries of state to hand over any work-related emails they may have. By then, Clinton had already "deleted some [emails] over time as an ordinary user would," FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers at a July congressional hearing. And she tasked her legal team to determine which of the roughly 60,000 emails still on her server were work-related. "Clinton told the FBI that she directed her legal team to provide any work-related or arguably work-related emails to State; however she did not participate in the development of the specific process to be used or in discussions of the locations of where her emails might exist," the FBI concluded in its investigative summary of the case. Comey testified that the FBI "didn't find any evidence of evil intent and intent to obstruct justice."

  13983. Clinton's "bribery" scam from the Uranium 1 deal from 2010 remains just as debunked as it was a year ago. Google it. But here's some whataboutism for you - When Donald Trump was sued in Florida over his sham university, he made a "donation" to Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi, with a check from DONALD TRUMP'S CHARITY FOUNDATION. Bondi then declined to move ahead with the lawsuit. FACT. The dossier was originally funded by Donald Trump's REPUBLICAN primary opponents. It was not the original basis for the Russia probe. It started with British and Dutch intelligence. Then, there came the ADMISSION from Trump's son that he, Manafort, and Kushner COLLUDED with the Russian government. Also, 9 Trump associates lied about Russian contacts. One has now plead guilty to it after being charged with perjury. Wake up and get a clue.

  13984. Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can’t veto a transaction; only the president can. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the Uranium One decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself “never intervened” in committee matters

  13985. The timing of most of the donations does not match Of the $145 million allegedly contributed to the Clinton Foundation by Uranium One investors, the lion’s share — $131.3 million — came from a single donor, Frank Giustra, the company’s founder. But Giustra sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007, three years before the Russia deal and at least 18 months before Clinton became secretary of state.

  13998. Sandi Richard - Give up on that. He will be sued out of all of his money. He will probably be charged with crimes. But he will not go to prison unless he actually shoots someone on 5th Avenue. That's because of what he has never understood about trying to lock up Clinton and Biden - We don't, and shouldn't send our elder statesmen to prison. It isn't that he doesn't deserve it. He DOES. It's for the simple fact that WE CANNOT BECOME A BANANA REPUBLIC, and that is exactly what they do in those countries. It pisses me off every time those MAGA morons start chanting, "lock her/him up". Trump even wanted to TURN BIDEN OVER TO THE UKRAINIANS FOR TRIAL! He wanted to send American Ambassadors that Putin had beef with to Russia to be jailed. A Turkish cleric in asylum here to be tortured and killed. Trump actually deserves prison. I think he is a TRAITOR. But this is just one of those, "we have to be better than that" things, because the consequences would be worse. Just know that the Trump "empire" has numbered days, and he will die as miserable as he lived.

If you use whataboutism and say "Dems are the racists who started the Klan," I'll point out 1)- How long ago that was. 2)- Dems always get around 90% of the black vote. 3)- Literally every racial hate group in America supports Republican politicians and candidates. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

  14028. There are only two possible reasons the Obama Administration would have spied on the Trump campaign. 1)- To prevent his election, or 2)- To smear him in case he got elected. You can eliminate the first one. No information gathered by US intelligence was used during the campaign. The ONLY possibility would have been to smear Trump in case he won. That WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SENSE. Why would Clinton, with a 94% chance of winning, bother to prepare for that 6% chance? For a 6% chance, would Obama, FBI, and CIA officials in non-political agencies - most of whom were Republicans - risk their careers and their freedom? Would they engage in a MASSIVE conspiracy involving dozens of people across multiple agencies, right under the noses of Republicans among them, just to make Trump look bad? If the FBI was so desperate to ensure a Clinton victory, why did Comey re-open her email case and HURT her chances? Why DIDN'T he announce that there was a probe into Trump's possible ties to Russia? IT MAKES NO SENSE. The FBI was trying to safeguard the election from Russian attack. In the process, they uncovered many Trump campaign ties to the Russian government, WHICH THEY LIED ABOUT.

  14032. cessna caravan No investigations found "no collusion". Collusion is not a crime. It is cooperation with nefarious intent, which Trump CLEARLY did. What news story is inaccurate? Here are some things the media reported about it. Tell me, what's false in the following? - The Trump Tower meeting was a QUID PRO QUO with members of the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade illegally obtained DIRT for SANCTION RELIEF. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 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?" With that statement, he ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to giving military aid to Ukeaine. 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. Campaign manager, Paul Manafort and candidate Trump publicly denied any involvement. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, a self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia investigation. He bragged about being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen DNC emails. - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 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 involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was running for president. Trump lied about pursuing the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who obviously knew he was lying to the public. - 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 infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - 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 to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say he didn't see why they "wouldn't" meddle. After that, on several occasions, he clearly expressed his doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump is trying to discredit US intelligence conclusions that Russia meddled in the 2016 election so he can lift sanctions put on Russia over that meddling. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump is pushing Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform the public of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them.

  14035.    There does not have to be an underlying crime proven to charge obstruction. That's why people obstruct - TO KEEP THE CRIME FROM BEING EXPOSED. I told you already, as Trump even said - COLLUSION IS NOT A CRIME. Conspiracy is a crime, and Mueller didn't recommend charges because 1- DOJ guidelines say you can't INDICT a sitting president, and 2- Just like why Hillary was not charged over her emails, prosecutors couldn't prove INTENT. In Trump's case, he couldn't prove Trump wasn't too stupid to know he was conspiring. Collusion is not a crime statute, so Mueller obviously would not use that term. Volume One details the collusion, the COOPERATION, and I already posted a long list of PROVEN, UNCONTESTED examples of it. He asked the Russians for help in public, and his top people MET WITH THEM IN TRUMP TOWER TO GET ELECTION HELP. DUH. Volume two details TEN instances of obstruction, for which Mueller said Truml could be charged with after he leaves office. He absolutely did NOT say there was no collusion or obstruction. Look it up. Ask someone. Jeez, you are a fucking moron, and just like all of you Trump worshipping morons, there really is no sense telling you anything because you simply deny the reality.

  14036.    It is illegal to interfere with the detectives LOOKING for a body, whether it exists or not. It is a FACT that the law clearly states that there does NOT need to be an underlying crime.

I don't know the suspect or what he is being chased for, but I stick my leg out and trip the cop on purpose. Then I have committed OBSTRUCTION. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/03/26/barr-is-wrong-obstruction-justice-doesnt-require-another-underlying-crime/ And again, you show how ignorant you are about what has been going on if you don't even know about the DOJ guideline that says you can't indict a sitting president.

  14040. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible than to fudge the numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, please, tell me how a fake poll helps a candidate.

  14042. Yes. Trump reflects a failure of the EDUCATION system in this country. Democrats - The Trump followers keep saying, "What is the Democratic platform?" Republicans are the ones calling teachers unions "terrorist organizations". Women are a little more than half the population, they're leaning left, and education is a popular womens' issue. Remember how hard women were on DeVos right from the beginning? DEMOCRATS, RUN ON EDUCATION.

  14043. Let's say Dave wants Hannah dead because she is his rival. Vince also wants Hannah dead. They are also rivals, plus Vince really hates her. Dave shoots at Hannah, but misses. Then, Hannah winds up shot dead anyway. The cops question Dave, who says he barely knows Vince. The cops find out that Dave not only knew Vince, but had been talking to him a lot around the time of the murder. Then, Dave starts doing Vince a lot of favors. Should the cops have investigated Dave? Should they trust Dave? Should they apologize to him? Get it?

  14044. Debate Competition - What the hell are you talking about? Not involved? I've put forth a very simple analogy. Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT for a QUID PRO QUO to trade dirt for sanction relief. Roger Stone bragged about being in touch with the VERY HACKERS and DISSEMINATORS of the DNC hacks. Trump's campaign chairman gave polling data to the Russians. 16 Trump associates lied about contacts with the Russians. Carter Page had previously been caught up in a Russian spy ring, then worked for Trump by going to Moscow and making anti-US speeches. But no, that's no reason for suspicion, is it?
    1
  14045. Debate Competition - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public). - Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election. - Trump said Crimea was part of Russia. - At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11). - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)? - "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work). - 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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - 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. - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - 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. - 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. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - Trump's campaign chairman, 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. - During the campaign, 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, and failed to register as a foreign agent. - 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.

  14046. The polls never said "landslide". Percentages in the 90s suggest a win, not a landslide. There is a difference. Polls don't make conclusions at all. They are simply chances based on responses. And they reflected the popular vote - Who won that? So, if Clinton had a 51% chance, would that mean the pollsters would have been declaring she was sure to win? What about 60%? 80%? Holy shit, you people who keep saying that are dumb. BTW, can any of you explain HOW faking a poll is even supposed to help a candidate? If anything, they made people stay home and not vote, thinking it was already in the bag. You idiots really think independent pollsters take sides and risk their accuracy for a chance of pushing it a few points in one direction? And if a "fake" poll gave Clinton a 90% chance, what do you think the real number was? 20%? Sure. They were ALL off by a huge margin. You people are fucking stupid!

  14057. Trump cannot take much credit for decimating ISIS. 1)- He publicly stated that he was against going into Syria, where the caliphate was based. 2)- Early on, Trump, rightfully, ceded a lot of decision-making power to the Generals. 3)- He's so ignorant about the military that he said we should have sneaked the Iraqi army into Mosul. 4)- He wanted to assassinate Assad. If that happened, ISIS would be strengthened. (Not to mention, we'd have major conflict with Russia). The US position used to be that the Assad regime must go. Trump changed it to allowing Assad to stay for now. 5)- War plans to fight ISIS were drawn up before Trump was in office.

  14059. If there is bias in the FBI, (Having political opinions does not equal bias), it would also have to be proven that the investigation was compromised by the bias. Just because an agent is biased doesn't mean they're going to fabricate fake evidence or ignore real evidence. That's the kind of thing to argue at trial - not as a pre-emptive matter. Mueller and Rosenstein are Republicans. McCabe is a Republican. (Bill Clinton's special council, Ken Starr - who Clinton, himself, signed-off on - was a Republican). Trump appointed Rosenstein and considered Mueller for FBI Director. James Comey is an independent who used to be a Republican. Comey hurt Clinton's chances by 3 percentage points by announcing his reopening of the email probe right before the election, (over what were obviously going to be found to be duplicate emails - and they were), and did not mention that they were also looking into possible Trump camp/Russia collusion. Sure looks to me like the FBI has been more than fair to Trump.

That is a lie that our dumbass president continues to tell. That is ridiculous. He also says the Democrats are responsible for the laws he is cruelly enforcing at the border, so which one is it? Third, of course they were trying to force her to have the baby. And why should non-Americans have civil rights? Are you serious? No, they shouldn't be allowed to vote. They are civil rights. Do you know what that means? Do you have any human sensibilities? So, are you saying if someone is kidnapped and brought to this country, their captors are free to do whatever they please to them?

  14099. meselmdor1 - Those networks don't swoon over her. I don't know where you're getting that from. They don't black out Bernie or Warren, and I've seen them on CNN more than Klobuchar. Any time any candidate wants to appear on a news network, they can call them up and get booked. It kills me. On the right, they insist mainstream news is blocking out Bernie, which makes no sense if they think the media is run by liberal socialists, and your argument makes just as little sense. It's the Republicans who always want to cut taxes on the rich. Even a moderate Democrat won't do that any time soon after Trump just did. Klobuchar is more electable because she is a moderate, the right age, and has experience in government, unlike several of her rivals. Biden is seen as past his time and slipping. Warren, although not really far left, will be painted that way by the right, as a "socialist", along with Bernie, who branded himself a socialist and has far left ideas. That makes swing voters nervous. All good presidents govern toward the center. Trump does the opposite, and look where that got us. If Democrats go extreme, they do the same thing the Republicans are - "It's OUR time now. We suffered you, now it's your turn to suffer us". Klobuchar was polling low because the field was so big. Now, it's smaller, and she simply made a good showing in the debate the other night. The media has little or nothing to do with it.

MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes.

They colluded and conspired. It's as plain as day at this point.

Comparing BLM to the Capitol riots is like comparing apples to orangutans. Associating BLM with Antifa is like associating a stadium full of football fans with a few thugs vandalizing the restrooms. 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the people didn't riot. I live in a city at the center of those protests where law enforcement went after the rioters diligently. While some Dem lawmakers expressed support for the cause, none supported Antifa, and none condoned violence. While the protesters tended to be liberal, they weren't partisan political events. They protested a real, repeating injustice. Capitol insurrectionists rioted over a lie. The election wasn't stolen, and Pence couldn't stop the certification. "Stop the Steal" was fundamentally partisan. Republican politicians encouraged it despite months of growing intelligence and common sense that said organized groups were likely to use violence. Put plainly, it was a coup attempt at one of America's highest value terrorist targets. There were several groups, several of which were white supremacists. Their level of planning and coordination far surpassed that of any of those protesting police brutality. Giuliani said "Let's have trial by combat!" right before the riot. Once it was underway, The President attacked his own VP on Twitter as Pence and lawmakers were being whisked away by security. When Rep. McCarthy implored Trump to send backup, the President replied, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are just more upset about the election than you are."

  14124.  @josephcamhi5676  - "You know the election wasn't stolen because the media told you?" YES, because the media reported the facts. You people act like the media is some omniscient entity that know the absolute truth and lie about it. CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet no crime scene and no suspects.

Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe.

When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. Joe is a commy. covfefe!!!"

  14126.  @josephcamhi5676  - Okay, right off the bat, you have not destroyed one single argument I've made. Not one. What argument are you even talking about? Just like most of the simpletons on here, you talk one-way, make assumptions, throw about a dozen of those ridiculous right wing talking points out there, and try to hop from one to the other because you think they're all the same argument. You will never learn anything because you aren't even interested in understanding anything. Enjoy life in your bubble.

I don't give two craps about opinions on the news because I know the difference between fact, opinion and analysis. Whatever the opinion, the facts don't change, and the media are accurate with the facts 99% of the time. THAT is a fact. They HAVE TO use narratives. It's how they make sense of the raw facts. Can't you people simply watch the news without making everything ABOUT the news? That doesn't mean mindlessly believing what they say. It means knowing the difference between the content and the tone of a news report.

  14128. The media have really dropped the ball. They almost never get into the nuts and bolts of things. They should EXPLAIN how voting WORKS. How does a voting machine work? They could explain why it's impossible to run the same ballot through multiple times. They could explain why it's ridiculous to think seeing one box of (legitimate) ballots under a table in no way indicates substantial fraud because of the logistics of recruiting enough people in enough counties to pull that off. Tell people what security measures already existed in the system. People seem to think that before Trump came along bitching about fraud, nobody ever considered the possibility of cheating or the need for poll watchers. They could explain that if a virus escaped from a lab, it begs the question of whether it was engineered as a bioweapon or whether it was in the lab in the first place because THAT'S WHAT THE LAB IS THERE FOR - to study viruses in order to be able to stop them. We've got millions of simple-minded idiots out there who never think about the obvious fact that it could have BOTH jumped from bats AND escaped from the lab in the process of studying it. The media shouldn't care that many of their viewers won't listen or can't understand things because many others will understand. Then they'll explain these things to others who are much more likely to listen to a friend, colleague, or family member than members of the "lying, liberal media." They should stop treating us all like idiots just because many are, in fact, idiots.

  14133.  @josephcamhi5676  - You live in a fact-free world of right wing media BS. Fusion GPS is a legal oppo research firm that subcontracted Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Clinton. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS clients weren't told how it gathered information. Clinton didn't collude with Russia. Putin admits he wanted to help Trump, and he hated Clinton. Fusion GPS co-founder testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released. Republicans refused to release it. Steele didn't get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT. There was no quid pro quo. However, Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss trading dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Steele never gave the dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible crimes, and gave it to the FBI. NEITHER THE DOSSIER, NOR THE FISA WARRANT on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer.

  14138.  @josephcamhi5676  - "How close it was according to the Washington Post"?? The numbers are the numbers. Period. WTF are you talking about? The MATH is that Biden was ten points ahead and Trump NEVER FOR ONE DAY had the support of over 49% of the country. I present facts as facts. Period. Oh, it's my "opinion" that Biden won? So as ling as ANYONE keeps contesting it, long after every mechanism for review has been exhausted, it can't be fact? What's WRONG with you? I could just as easily say it's YOUR opinion that Trump won. Again, CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet no crime scene and no suspect. Do you get it? In all of this time, NO SUSPECT, NO CRIME SCENE. Duuh. What am I saying you'd feel different about if it was Obama or Biden? EVERYTHING you defend Trump for - the riots, the Russia scandal, the habitual LYING, the oppo research, right wing media's defense of him...and yes the FACTS MSM report are over 99% accurate. You don't even know what FACT means.

Oh, but you'd be okay with that if Biden or Obama did that? You would not, obviously, because you're saying using Fusion GPS wasn't okay. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the 2016 campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, WHY WOULD THEY? That was an acknowledgment that there is NO REASON for candidates to be messing around with foreigners in an election. Turned out, 16 Trump campaign staffers lied about 140 Russian contacts. So cut your "bias" BS. You sound so foolish. Why are you interested in even arguing when you refuse to learn ANYTHING?

You won't accept a single fact about anything, so you keep adding more issues from that ridiculous narrative and expect me to explain? Your fundamental mode of thinking is incredibly flawed. The next time you try to defend Trump on here, just ask yourself, "If Biden did it, what would I think?" If you want to defend that MAGA narrative, ask yourself, "If Dems did it..?" MSM, "If they said it on FOX News..?" It's all you need to do at this point.

  14144.  @josephcamhi5676  - Trump lost the electoral college by 177,000 votes, not 43,000, and would need to overturn at least 2 states to overturn the election however you slice it. He lost by the exact score, 306 to 232, by which he won in 2016 (when he called it a "shellacking"). He lost by 7 million popular votes. Voting is done STATE BY STATE and COUNTY BY COUNTY, so your logic about it being close enough to be suspicious about is very flawed. Those elections were recounted and audited in each battleground state, and proved over 99% accurate. Maybe it was bad strategy for Trump to NEVER reach across the aisle and insult voters he needed to vote for him. All viruses and everything alive mutates. Of course they manipulated the genome in the Wuhan lab. That's why the lab exists there. The MOST LIKELY possibility is that it DID jump from animals to humans in Chinese wet markets, and the Chinese started studying it at that point in the lab. That's how it could be BOTH true that it had already jumped AND escaped from the lab, but it could be either. What is VERY UNLIKELY is that they engineered it as a bioweapon and purposely unleashed it in their own country. That would be like nuking themselves so the fallout poisons the world. That would make no sense. Whether Trump had the right to fire Comey or not is not the point. Trump was caught saying he did it over Russia. That, along with all of the lying and bizarre statements, provided REASONABLE SUSPICION to investigate. Yes, it was wrong for Bill Clinton to lie about the Lewinski affair, but he lied about his personal life. If that was Trump, do you think Republicans would have removed him over it? Dems wouldn't have even impeached him over it. They didn't impeach him over the porn star and the bunny - and we have him on tape directing his lawyer to commit BANK FRAUD and TAX FRAUD in order to commit the FEC FRAUD required to hide it. I never praised Cuomo for his COVID response as you claim, but what he did with the nursing homes was an honest mistake. The COVER-UP was inexcusable. There were several REAL BALLOT AUDITS of the election. Gabriel Sterling of Georgia absolutely did give a detailed, nuts-and-bolts debunk of all of those ridiculous claims. Here it is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwld6Ly5TVs Paul Manafort gave INTERNAL polling data to the Russians. They couldn't just hire someone to get that. No, Trump's polling numbers weren't higher than Hillary's in 2016 either, and she won the popular vote. Election poll numbers are NOT the same as an approval rating. The polls were very accurate, and her electoral college loss only adds to the suspicion that the Russian influence campaign had an impact. "Why was there so much dirt on Hillary in the first place?" THERE WASN'T. In all of those tens of thousands of emails, the worst thing there was one exchange between two staffers about using Sanders' religion against him. They never even did that. No reasonable person can listen to that call between Trump and Raffensberger and not hear coersion. They never should have been in contact, neither should Trump have been in contact with state election board members. But I guess you'd be okay with Biden doing that, huh? LOL. I never said Biden won by double digits. I said he polled ahead by double digits - a fact reiterated in Trump's own internal "autopsy" that also did not mention fraud at all. "Chris Krebs is a never Trumper"? No, he literally is not. He was hand-picked by Trump, and that's a lame excuse anyway. "Bias! Bias!" I know I'm pretty biased against people who screw me over. If a boss screws me over, of course I'm going to be disgruntled. So? The media do not work for the DNC. The media have WAY MORE money and power than the DNC and RNC, which are basically party home offices staffed by politicians who couldn't get themselves elected. The media work for SPONSORS who obviously don't want to alienate half the market. So, why does FOX News do it? Because they have no competition on that level. On one side, you've got FOX News with huge viewership. On the other "side" it's divided among NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, and others. By the way, you'll hear the SAME facts reported on PBS and NPR, which are partially government-funded. Do you think Republicans wouldn't raise hell about funding "propaganda" against themselves? Same idea with BBC - same facts, and they aren't even US-based. FOX News coordinated stories with Trump, but I guess you'd be okay with Biden talking to the head of CNN every night, huh? The Democrats had nothing to do with BLM riots. The Republicans had everything to do with the Capitol riots, and coordinated with those groups.

You talk about "reality" but apparently don't care that Trump lied more than the average person pees. It shouldn't be hard to believe because it's the truth. Dems are disproportionately underrepresented, and that's a fact. Why on Earth do you think Trump and the Republicans did everything possible to stifle turnout? Remember his gloating about how it was the electoral college that counts, not popular vote, in 2016? Do you think they really don't strategize that way? It's basic MATH. Turnout ALWAYS favors the projected winner. The more votes, the bigger the margin. Republicans are so shameless they don't mind targeting minorities to up their odds. That's basic math, too. When a group is ten times more likely to vote for your opponent, you don't want them to vote. And that 43,000 number would have produced a 269/269 tie, which the House would have broken. He needed more to get to 270, hence the discrepancy. Reality? As you can see, I corrected a whole litany of falsehoods from all over the map that you've been posting all over thus thread, and that's just a fraction of what you have wrong.

  14156. It's taking a long time, but Trump's base is going to turn away from him, and when people turn, they REALLY turn. W got two terms, but he left with about 30% approval, and came in with 58%. Trump has a dismal, rising disapproval rating, and will NEVER get his approval above 40. The majority hates him. He styles himself as an entertainer. Even the biggest actors and pop stars become overexposed. His show had lots of fans, but would they still have liked The Apprentice if they had to watch it every day? 87% of the public thinks the DACA kids should stay, including half of his base, and virtually all liberals. More than half of his base disapproved of both the failed Republican health care bill and the new tax law. With his DAILY doses of lying, offensive Tweets, displays of ineptitude, flip-flops, and Russia probe developments - that will NOT stop, the relatively reasonable half of his base will become as exhausted with his bullshit as the liberals. When that happens, Republican lawmakers will drop him like a bad habit. They have a decision to make for the upcoming mid-terms - stand by him or distance themselves. His base will turn, probably suddenly, maybe even without an identifiable specific cause. A little innocuous straw will break the camel's back... Or Mueller will throw down a "trump" card. Whatever happens, there is no way Trump will ever turn it around.

  14183.  @ericmahon8507  Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm.

After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe.

  14189.  @oller7113  -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. - 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 140 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  14191.  @oller7113  Okay, so if you want to just ignore common sense for the sake of tribalism, Mueller said that the body to prove it is Congress, meaning impeachment. Mueller made this all very clear. You Trump defenders don't consider the dilemma involved in criminally charging an elected official. But just ignore the OBVIOUS TRUTH that Trump colluded with the Russians while lying his ass off to us. Yes, he COLLUDED. He couldn't be proven to have CONSPIRED beyond a reasonable doubt. Mueller made it very clear that he OBSTRUCTED. But keep those blinders on.

Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

  14199. There are people Trump is going after, and is happy to have his followers go after viciously. There are career lawmakers and former administration officials like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Former presidents of his own country like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. There are career law enforcement and intelligence people like Comey, McCabe, and Brennan. People who brought down Gotti and bin Laden. Non-partisan public servants and diplomats. People who have attended top secret briefings and war room meetings. And you've got Donald Trump, with no respect for them, and with no prior experience in ANY government agency or office. He's never been a mayor or a county clerk. And he calls those people "leftist, deep state operatives" who should be tried for treason. Then, you've got career Republican lawmakers. He's their man. He gives them what they want, but still, he's an outsider who never put in a day of work in their field before becoming their leader. And they just LET him come in and take over? They let him smear and attack their colleges and elder statesmen with such disrespect and apathy? WTF are they thinking??

  14201. When did conservatives become the anti-war, pro free speech crowd? Oh yeah, when Trump got elected. It's not genuine. They don't want to stand up to North Korea or Russia anymore, but they'll gladly support Trump if he starts a war with Iran or Venezuela. And what short memories. Now, we have conservatives saying, "The liberal media was pushing for the Iraq war." What? Are they too young to remember or just trying to revise history? As for free speech, they're quick to condemn criticism of their own as "hate speech", but have no problem with Trump trashing the American free press in the presence of journalist killers like MBS, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin. Ignorant, tribal, hypocritical double standards. They're simply anti-liberal, no matter what the facts are. Just remember, Trump was for the Iraq war before he was against it, and he says we should have TAKEN THEIR OIL. And remember, Trump is the habitual liar who paid for fake polls and spent his life planting stories in the tabloids. "Fake news" is his specialty.

Those Russians at the meeting were known Russian government surrogates, and Don Jr willingly accepted the meeting knowing that. By the way, Fusion GPS requires its clients to not ask about their info gathering methods, so you can't say Clinton colluded with Russia, not to mention, there was no quid pro quo.

  14218. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

But you're one of those "Seth Rich was murdered" nutjobs, so you are waay too far gone to ever understand how things work. Manafort helped Putin install a crooked dictator in Ukraine. That was his expertise, and that's why Trump hired him. Unless you think Don Jr, Kushner, Manafort, and Stone were under mind control or had guns to their heads, you cannot argue that they were set up.

  14221. Tom Acosta - Yup. The exact dumbass responses I expected to get. "It's a fact!" Do you not get the point? Trump didn't say "tent cities". It's the fucking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES going on an incoherent rant, ONCE AGAIN, about some shit that passed through his feeble mind. Then, he lies and says he's "seriously looking at the problem". Not the HOMELESS problem, but the "problem", to him, that urban blight makes HIM look bad to foreign visitors! New York? San Francisco? Do you really think this is a problem caused by LIBERALS? Affects liberal cities like San Francisco and NEW YORK?? Which, by the way, is both mine and HIS HOME STATE! Amazing! But San Francisco is Pelosi's, New York rejected him, so now, he's pissed. Take it from a New Yorker, wake UP! He is unstable and has np business being POTUS.

  14254. 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.

Not really a stretch when you know the nefarious things the Trump Foundation has been involved in, including "donating" (bribing) a Florida AG for $25k to decline to go ahead with a lawsuit of his sham university - WITH TRUMP FOUNDATION MONEY. Foundation funds have been traced to a portrait of Trump that wound up hanging in a country club. Eric "short bus" Trump set up a charity (like daddy, how cute) that was involved in a scam related to Trump golf courses.... But I digress. What you posted is not "proof" he isn't racist.

There are no laws on the books to deal with a campaign colluding with a foreign government? Process crimes? Manafort was charged with conspiracy AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. All of these convictions are related to the Russia probe. These people violated FOREIGN LOBBYING laws, and the ones who Mueller did not charge for those slam-dunk paper crimes were not charged because they are cooperating in the RUSSIA investigation. Do you people just like being proven wrong? Trump is under 17 investigations. Do you really think this is going to end well for him?

Republicans in the room won't deny it - only liars like Tom Cotton saying "I don't recall". So, we just automatically don't believe the press now? We believe the habitual liar who lied about what he said to a grieving war widow? Give me a break. He said it!

  14285. A little tidbit about Arkansas Senator, Tom Cotton, one of the two Republican Senators who said they didn't recall Trump making the "shithole" comments he obviously made - Tom Cotton stood up in a Senate hearing, attempting to "clear-up" the record about the Trump campaign changing the party platform to benefit Russia by stating the party did NOT agree with arming the Ukrainian resistance. That IS what they did, but Cotton tried to say what they did was STRENGTHEN language on helping Ukraine. That was a bald-faced lie. They weakened it, plain and simple. BTW, both Trump and then campaign chairman both deny they had anything to do with it. Really? The platform that lays out the positions of the party - the things Trump would likely be talking about and asked about during the campaign. The campaign manager and the candidate himself had nothing to do with it? JD Gordon - the man who requested this language change - says he was instructed by the campaign. This was, by the way, at the Republican convention, attended by Sergey Kislyak.

  14286. Right. The Russians intervened to help the TRUMP campaign, but Trump didn't think he should have been interviewed? Maybe his underlings were colluding and he wasn't aware. Why wouldn't he want to find out, especially after he did find out that they were lying about Russian contacts, supposedly behind his back? Trump has done EVERYTHING that guilty people tend to do. And as the POTUS, he has the duty to safeguard our elections.

  14287. There was collusion. That's not even up for debate. Collusion isn't a crime. It's COOPERATION with nefarious intent. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by shooting, collusion is loading the gun. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Stone bragged about being in touch with the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material. Manafort offered briefings and polling data to Russian intelligence. Papadopoulos suggested meeting with the Russians in order to help Trump win. Michael Flynn...Michael Cohen... Is there any doubt that the Trump campaign was willing to co-opt the help of a foreign power? Where is the line they wouldn't cross? To use the "If murder was the crime" metaphor, and if we take Don Jr. at his word, they loaded the gun, shot at the target, but missed...but the target wound up dead, nonetheless. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a presidential campaign, and it's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Did Trump's people report those Russian efforts to the FBI? No. They took the meeting. Whether or not what they did was criminal is a legal matter. But don't be naive. Don't gaslight. Trumpers, ask yourselves if you'd be okay with it if it was Hillary Clinton, and her campaign manager, her daughter, her lawyer, her "coffee boy"...Didn't think so.

  14291. Just like with Michael Flynn, US intelligence was listening to the Russians, and found them talking to Trump's people. When confronted, they lied. That is probable cause to investigate, and Trump supporters would want no less than an investigation if the shoe was on the other foot.

  14308. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

  14309. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns.

  14318. I'm white. I support the BLM cause, and I have a few suggestions for them: 1)- Messaging is everything. Arnold Swartzenegger said that in raising awareness about global warming, he found that more people listen when he said "pollution" rather than "climate change," which has become a partisan political term. "Black Lives Matter" is a bad name for a just cause. BLM should target mainstream, conservative Whites. You already have the liberals, and you'll never convince full-on racists. You need the support of Whites who are kind of racist, but don't feel that way - the "I'm not racist. I have a black friend and voted for Obama" crowd. Those are the conservatives who see riots at BLM rallies and think, "Black lives? ALL lives matter. See, THEY'RE the REAL racists." That led to "All Lives Matter" becoming a racial trope. How about "Lives Matter" or "Civilian Lives Matter"? Bad cops shoot MORE whites because there are more of them, though they shoot unarmed Blacks at 3 times the rate. Whites need to know that they might get unjustly shot and beaten, too. 2)- Reject extremism. Extreme liberals made "ALL Lives Matter" a racial trope. They alienate the very mainstream, conservative Whites you should be targeting. They think, "All I said was that ALL lives matter, and that makes me a racist? They're the real racists!" and they stop listening. 3)- Were street protests the best way to get your message across during a pandemic while the internet was ubiquitous? Yes, you've got to show that you're mad as hell. In 2016, I was disappointed when no Dems even brought up the epidemic of bad police shootings. During a simple traffic stop on a crowded street in broad daylight, a Black man riding with his girl and a baby told a cop he had a gun and a permit, and still got blown away. BLM could have reached MORE people with a good online campaign and gotten just as much press coverage without right-wingers saying "They burned-down cities and spread Covid!" Then, they minimized the Capitol coup attempt as just another riot when it was totally different. How about official BLM-sponsored protests during the day, in the park, before sundown? There would have been bigger crowds. It's harder for thugs to hijack a protest at noon when it's full of families and kids in strollers eating hot dogs. At night, looters show up like flies at a picnic, and the good people get blamed.

Labeling the whole group as terrorists is ridiculous unless the bulk of the group and its organizers are there to riot - like the Capitol insurrection.

I just didn't like her high negatives. I knew how they were going to smear her. I didn't know the half of it.

  14329. The deep state consists of only Democrats, even in apolitical agencies like the FBI. Half of them registered as Republicans years ago to go undetected. The deep state is all-powerful, but they let Republicans win elections so as not to arouse suspicion. They wanted Hillary to succeed Obama. With a 94% chance, they thought she'd easily win. But they had an "insurance policy". If she lost, they were ready to activate operatives in the FBI, CIA, DNI, DHS, NSA, the White House, the liberal media, social media, military intelligence, Australian and British intelligence, private digital forensics firms, and about a dozen other agencies. They forged reports, intercepts, emails, and wire transfers, careful not to arouse the suspicion of Republicans around them. Though these agencies couldn't ask what their employees' personal politics were, they found out which ones were Dems. And if they were Dems, they were loyalists who would never blow the whistle. Here was the plan: Even though it hurt Clinton's chances, they leaked the DNC's emails. Why? So that, even with a 6% chance, if Trump won, the deep state could frame him for colluding with Russia. They paid a research firm for a fake dossier, but didn't use it during the campaign. Why not? They know why. They got the FBI to reopen Clinton's prior email probe right before the election. Why? Again, they know why. Good thing, because Trump won! Now, all they had to do was link Trump to Russia with sham probes based on their fake intelligence. It turns out that 16 Trump associates had lied about 87 contacts with the Russians, including a meeting to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. Trump's campaign chairman had been a lobbyist for Putin. But even though Trump was reaching out to Russia and Russia was reaching out to him, everything on both ends was legitimate. It was all just a big coincidence. Why did Trump lie about it so much? The deep state knows why. Now, the deep state is co-opting state-level law enforcement. SDNY, book-keepers, tabloid editors, auditors.., conveniently all deep state Democrats, to fabricate 17 investigations to show Trump is a crook. Does anyone really believe this shit?

Ken Starr was a Republican while Bill Clinton was a Democrat, and HE SIGNED OFF ON THE INVESTIGATION OF HIMSELF. This whole "bias" thing is complete bullshit.

  14334. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

And make no mistakes, both sides just pick pet policies. Republicans with their jobs, military, and trade rhetoric - These 2016 Trump voters acted like politicians have never talked about jobs and a strong military before. Like no challenger has ever run as an "outsider". Trump just got them all fired-up and to the polls by using immigration, race, and raw attitude. Yes, Democrats need to run against Trump, but in addition to a strong policy message. May I suggest education? There have been teacher strikes. The population is clearly dumbing down. Our president is a dumbass. And that seems like a cause better suited for Dems. Republicans get rabid against the teachers' unions, calling them terrorist organizations and saying teachers are spoiled and whiney for wanting raises to not have to buy books and pencils out of their own pockets. And when they attack Trump, they have to veil it. Don't say "impeachment", because the Big Yam hasn't been charged with anything (YET). They should use terms like "oversight", "ethics", and "political norms". Trump will be crying, "Vote Republican or they'll impeach me!" I want their dumb, lazy, Trump-loving asses to not bother to go out and vote in some lame-ass mid-term. Democratic voters are already pretty motivated against him, but they need a little push.

  14342. 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.

  14344. The stock market started rising way before Trump took office. Look at a graph. But that's actually surprising to me. I expected it to do well. Know why? Because he is gutting Wall Street regulations put in place after 2008 designed to prevent another crash. And Trump said Clinton was too cozy with Wall Street! Take a look at the backgrounds of his cabinet members. Wall Street is highly represented.... The unemployment rate has dropped very little under Trump. It was cut IN HALF, from around 10% to around 5%, where it is now, under Obama....... Trump had little to do with decimating ISIS. The invasion of Raqqa was planned during the Obama administration. Mosul was planned and executed under Obama, and Trump wouldn't shut up about how they shouldn't have announced it first. You know, he "knows more than the generals", and seems to think the Iraqi and US forces are ninjas. You can't sneak in, for many reasons. By the way, Trump ceded a lot of the decision making to the military commanders. He is less involved in military affairs than Obama...... And how the hell is nominating a Supreme Court Justice such a big accomplishment? Trump doesn't know a thing about the judiciary. He picked a name from a list! A list made by a far right group. Republicans blocked Obama's nominee for a year with a bullshit excuse. It would have been much harder for Trump to NOT nominate a Justice! Remember Trumpers - You are entitled to your own crazy fantasies. You are not entitled to your own facts, no matter what Kellyanne Conway says. Thanks, Obama! Props to the Generals!....... But I will give him credit for dropping the illegal immigration rate, (although he is being a major dick about it), so why do we need a fucking wall?

  14350. Imagine this scenario: The Russians launch a cyber attack on election day, and they conceal that its origin is Russia. They don't hit the voting machines, most of which are not online, but they hit the surrounding systems. Maybe they screw with the power grid, and the power goes out at polling locations - of which there will already be fewer, with more people waiting. People leave those long lines and go home. The votes will already not be totaled on election day because of the increase in mail-in ballots. People will already be confused because of all of the changes to polling sites, drop boxes, and mailboxes. Trump blames China or "a fat guy on his bed" for the cyber attack. He says that it looks like China, but "we don't really know because you have to catch them in the act," (which is untrue). The CIA says it wasn't China, but Trump followers dismiss that as the "deep state" helping Biden this time. Biden voters know Trump either knowingly cheated or neglectfully let chaos happen. Trump voters are sure that the left is trying to oust a duly elected president again. Everyone is pissed. Protests, which Trump will call riots no matter what, break out in every major "Democrat" city. Think about what happens from there.

Careful what you wish for. Dems get to question him, too, and Hunter Biden's testimony isn't going to justify that ridiculous claim that Ukraine hacked the DNC. The whistleblower doesn't have to testify. The Inspector General who validated his/her claim will suffice. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi have absolutely nothing to do with this. Yeah, get Biden on the stand, though. Also Bolton, Sondland, Lev Parnas, Mick Mulvaney, Giuliani, people at the OMB...Why is Trump scared of that?

  14357. After the Russian ex-spy assassinations in Britain, I worried the Russians would pull something like that with US citizens. Now, the Saudis have basically done that, and Trump made it a point to say, "He wasn't a US citizen, right?" Then, he said - for at least the second time - that he won't reject Saudis because of money. First it was at least HIS real estate money and HIS own morals. Now, it's OUR money and OUR morals. This is unacceptable!

  14363. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the 2016 campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, WHY WOULD THEY? That was an acknowledgment that there is NO REASON for candidates to be messing around with foreigners in an election. Turned out, 16 Trump campaign staffers lied about 140 Russian contacts.
    1
  14364. Bryan Halstead - I read it, and it clearly does NOT say that. Collusion isn't even a crime statute. It is cooperation, which Trump CLEARLY DID. Did you even read my post? 16 associates lied about 140 contacts. They met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. You people NEVER address those FACTS. You just nonsensically say, "no collusion". You are either a brainwashed sheep or a troll.
    1
  14365. Bryan Halstead - Are you dense? What page does it say "no collusion"? Volume 1 is a detail of collusion. Just like Comey found wrongdoing with Clinton's emails, but declined to pursue charges because he couldn't prove intent, Mueller couldn't prove intent of CONSPIRACY. As Giuliani said, "collusion" is not a crime.

  14366. Trump often complains that his words are misunderstood. He should learn to better articulate. How many times have you heard his associates say, "I think what the President MEANT was..," and then blame liberals and the media for misunderstanding? Or said he was "joking" about things he's OBVIOUSLY not joking about? At the Helsinki summit, he said we should have known that he meant to say, "I don't see why it WOULDN'T have been Russia (who attacked our election)," instead of "WOULD." Well, you'd have to be an idiot to not know what his position is. Does any reasonable person think he was really joking about not wanting COVID testing because the numbers make him look bad? He was joking every one of the dozens of times he had said it before? We know what his position is. How about his being "sarcastic" about asking Russia to find Hillary's emails? Does he even know what "sarcasm" means? Later, he would make it clear that his position was that it's okay to solicit foreign election help. Think he was joking when he openly asked China to help him win? When he said it was okay for voters to vote twice if it was in his favor? When he said he would pardon DHS staff for breaking eminent domain laws? His supporters cry, "the media lies" without being able to cite anything but the rare media mistake, but excuse his 19,000 lies. They claim that we just don't understand them, so help us understand. Tell us, Trump fans, why do you abandon all reason and common sense for him?

  14367. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Not Trump. I think that's his plan - be so unbelievably horrible that nobody actually believes it.

  14372. Yes, amend, not abolish. We used to have an assault weapons ban, from the Clinton days, and then Bush let it expire. I'm in no way against the 2nd Amendment, but we need some common sense legislation. I used to sell guns, legally, and most buyers seemed like responsible, practical people. But those dressed-up, black assault rifles seemed to attract a different sort of customer.

  14373. We have minority rule in representation, which created the tyranny of the majority in legislation. The former is a fact. The latter is obvious. It's the result of a decades-long, deliberate Republican strategy. Remember Trump "joking" about how it will soon become a one-party system? That's what he was referring to. It will only get easier for them. Trump has proven to the Republican lawmakers that they can tell their constituents what they want, and not the other way around. They have rid themselves of any sense of shame, decency, and willingness to compromise they may have had. Look at the House and Senate Russia probes. Look at the Supreme Court decisions that have come down since Trump took office. It's not just what side of the issues they're on. The Republican majority, even if held by one seat, dictates what information gets out. The sentiment is, "We're in charge. We do what we want. Screw you". We need re-districting reform. God help us all if the Republicans get a blank check to gerrymander after the next census.

Did he need proof when he was accusing Biden of crimes? Obama? Iran? North Korea (sometimes)? Joe Scarborough? Clinton? Ted Cruz' father? BLM? The "deep state"..?

That's like purposely promoting sales of a book you don't want people reading just to have more fuel for the book burning.

  14404.  @dustincaso6781  The Mueller Report details 10 instances of obstruction and SPECIFICALLY refuses to clear Trump. But that's neither here nor there because my point is about the basic reason for the investigation. What was the harm in looking into it, especially when Trump and so many of his people aroused legitimate suspicion by lying about it? I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.
    1
  14405.  @dustincaso6781  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

They have uncovered tons of evidence. Just because you don't accept it doesn't make it so. Since Mueller started, he has indicted 4 people - one plead guilty to perjury and admits to colluding with the Russians. Flynn says he "has a story to tell", Trump's son has admitted to meeting with the Russian government to trade sanction relief for dirt on Trump's opponent, and Trump is obstructing everywhere he can. You call that nothing? If it was Clinton or Obama, you'd be calling for their execution!
    1
  14419. Trump says he didn't try to fire Mueller, but he won't say that to Mueller. If the White House lawyer (who threatened to resign) and at least 3 other people who sourced the story say otherwise and Mueller corroborates that, Trump can either commit perjury or plead the 5th. A reminder - this came out days after we found out Christopher Wray, Trump's own pick to replace Comey, threatened to resign because Trump wanted to fire Comey's deputy. Trump also denies knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting, the Republican party platform change, and Flynn's sanction talk with the Russian ambassador. Same thing - If others say otherwise, perjury or the 5th. Trump is too dumb to realize he is screwed.

His son worked for a Ukrainian company that was once investigated and cleared. End of story. Trump, on the other hand, has prompted someone high up in the intel community to use whistleblower protections about something Trump did, and the Inspector General agrees that it is of URGENT CONCERN. Trump is blocking Congress from investigating THAT. And you're focused on Biden??

  14425. Again, Biden said something inartful and stupid, but it wasn't racist. For Trump to criticize him for being inarticulate is the mountain calling the mole hill big. Biden was asked about Venezuelan vs. Cuban Latinos. Those are different COUNTRIES. He was trying to say they have more diverse backgrounds and ideologies compared to African Americans. The key word is AMERICAN, as opposed to immigrants from different nations. The MAGA crowd CONSTANTLY tries to explain what Trump "meant" because he constantly lacks articulation, but they'll sure pounce on anything Biden says. It's ridiculous that Trump so often throws stones when he lives in a glass house. You'd think he would try like hell to avoid bringing up senility, racism, and corruption.

  14426. - Imagine Joe Biden's lawyer telling an angry mob to march to the Capitol and have a trial by combat. - Imagine Barack Obama siding with Putin over the CIA in front of the world, then trying to say he actually meant the opposite. - Imagine Chelsae Clinton, her husband, and John Podesta being caught meeting with Chinese intelligence officers in 2016 to trade illegally obtained information on Trump for sanction relief. - Imagine Barack Obama lying about a pandemic that had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. - Imagine what happened in 2000 happened in 2020. Trump wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral college by 500 votes in one state where Biden's brother is the governor. Now imagine, in that scenario, that the Republicans control the House and Senate. - Imagine, as it was in 1998, that the Special Council investigating Trump was a member of the opposing party. - Imagine Hillary Clinton on an audio recording telling someone she can grab men by the junk because she's a star. - Imagine Joe Biden destroying interpreter notes from a meeting with the Chinese President and instructing the attendees not to talk about it with White House staff. - Imagine Barack Obama's personal lawyer, two campaign managers, campaign "dirty trickster", National Security Advisor, campaign Security Advisor, and inauguration manager being convicted of felonies. Imagine he also set a record for cabinet members and staff leaving in scandal. - Imagine Obama's charity being shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality."

  14428. "If she gets to pick her judges, folks, nothing you can do... Well, I don't know. Maybe you 2nd Amendment people" - Candidate Trump on if Clinton were to win. "(The press) is the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, even AFTER a man used that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. Trump endorses police brutality. He endorses violence against opponents. I know Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of his words. They switch between saying his words are literal and figurative - whichever is convenient. But the MESSAGE is what counts. They know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is doing. They know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words.

  14430. This is insane. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted, "Why didn't they (the FBI) break into the DNC and get the server?" The DNC server. The DNC, a VICTIM of the Russian hacks. - Is he saying he still thinks the Russians didn't do it? It was an inside job? Not China? Not a fat guy on his bed? He STILL won't believe the CIA and FBI? Think he's going to safeguard our elections saying that? - Why would there be a search warrant for that server? The DNC was a VICTIM. We were ALL victims. Trump was the BENEFICIARY. Does it matter why the DNC outsourced the forensics? It makes no sense that they would leak their own emails. We know THE RUSSIANS DID IT. Once and for all, Trump needs to take a position and stick to it. We should DEMAND that! - Executing a search warrant is not a break-in. It's reckless for THE PRESIDENT to impugn the legal system like that. Then he talks about law and order?? Now, they're barely holding press conferences anymore! He's one-way talking through Twitter and FOX News. He should EXPLAIN HIMSELF! Do we say, "Oh, that's just Trump"? You like Trump, so you don't care that we can't be confident that our elections are fair? If so, just wait. Your boy is screwed. - The Russians are still running their game. They're spreading propaganda, painting Mueller and the FBI as crooks. That's to be expected. But Trump is still working in concert with them. He should be warning them, and warning us about them. He's dumb, but he knows better. When did this become acceptable for a PRESIDENT?? - The truth is CLEAR - He KNOWS the Russians did it, and he won't say that because he BENEFITTED. If you don't see that, you're a fool.

  14434. Trump: "Can I fire Romney?"
    1
  14435. - Does anyone seriously think Trump was working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? ONLY Biden? With no evidence of a crime? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden that was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why would he fill her role with his personal attorney and two indicted criminals, none of whom work for the government? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust crooked Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016, and dismiss the findings of the CIA? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win? - Trump literally has had more campaign staff and close aides indicted and implicated in crimes, and lost more White House staff and cabinet members to scandal and due to criminal behavior than any other president. And he's fighting corruption in Ukraine?!? - Mueller detailed 10 instances of obstruction, and specifically said he was not cleared of that. - Trump dangled pardons to officials working on his border wall. He told them to ignore eminent domain laws to take their land. When that leaked, Trump said he was "joking". Okay, let's get these officials under oath and ask them, "Did you take it as a joke, or did you take action?" - Trump is on tape directing Michael Cohen to start an LLC to launder the hush payments to Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model. That's what got him designated as an unindicted co-conspirator, "Individual 1", in court filings. The crime involved FEC violations and bank fraud. - Trump altered an official weather chart with a sharpie. That is a crime. It caused turmoil and confusion in Alabama, and within government weather agencies, just because the president cannot admit even small mistakes. - Trump obstructed justice by firing James Comey over Russia, and attempting to fire Robert Mueller. He drafted a false statement for his son to cover up the infamous Trump Tower meeting, where Don Jr, Jarred Kushner, and Paul Manafort met surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. - Trump intimidated Marie Yavanovich via Twitter during her testimony to the House Intel Committee. He sent similar tweets taunting James Comey, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe and Michael Cohen. - Trump has violated the public trust by lying to the public 13,000 times in 3 years. To put that in perspective, Obama lied 148 times in 8 years. And the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton over ONE LIE about his personal life! But as long as the president isn't under oath, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Why should it matter that he lied about pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow that needed Kremlin approval? What's a little conflict of interest with a country that was ACTIVELY ATTACKING OUR ELECTION TO HELP HIM WIN? What's a little vulnerability to blackmail by Putin? - Trump has refused to divest his businesses, and refuses to show his tax returns. He is lying about why he is breaking his promise to release them. Meanwhile, he is breaking the emoluments clause, raking in money from lobbyists and foreign dignitaries who pay to stay at his hotels. But Trump wouldn't put the government up for sale, would he? He said he was draining the swamp! - Why not trust an habitual liar whose charity was shut down for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality"? Why worry about the ethics of a president who used that charity's funds to "donate" $25k to an AG in Florida who declined to move forward on a lawsuit of his sham university, and then gave that AG a high paying job in the federal government? Trump once said, "I love spending other peoples' money". Well now, "other people" are the American taxpayers.

The cops often arrest people, then just let the court system sort it out.

Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words. He uses the words, "nationalism" and "alien" for a reason. He could clearly use other words. Let's assume for a moment that Trump is not a race-baiter. The racial hate groups, ALL of which are on the right, insist he supports them. Whether he does or not, that is the MESSAGE they get, and Trump sure seems more than happy to let that continue. Save your whataboutism. I'm no fan of Antifa, it isn't a racial hate group, and the best whataboutism can do is to assert that two wrongs make a right.

I said that the “Fake News (Media) is the Enemy of the People,” a very big difference. When you give out false information - not good!" Lemme get this straight - He's saying we're "wrong!" about who he means is being dishonest, but he won't tell us who that is. And he won't specify what "dishonest" things they're actually saying. Makes sense.

  14454. Ashley_Rose1221 - - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. It's nonsense to say pollsters faked it to help her. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People, (especially illegals), don't like to vote. It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, folks tend to think their individual vote counts even less. If anything, Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. That there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" numbers were? Do you think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? How many points? Even independent pollsters whose existence depends on a record of accuracy? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Donald Trump actually did pay for fake online polls. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don't vote. You don't understand the process.

  14457. The FBI is NOT FULL OF POLITICIANS. Think about it - Who works for the FBI? COPS. Federal Cops. A lot of them started out as local cops. They didn't apply to become political idealists. They want to bust drug dealers, murderers, mafia thugs and money launderers. That's the nature of the business. They don't get into. Politics got into them when they had to deal with a perfect storm of having to make decisions about two unpopular presidential candidates who were both under investigation - both for good reason - during an election year. And if you think they were motivated by some hatred of Trump, I have 2 points: 1)- The FBI is full of Republicans, at least half. Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller and McCabe are all Conservatives. If Trump was so great, and appealed to enough Conservative Republicans to get elected, why is it such a stretch to believe members of the conservative-leaning FBI wouldn't also be Trump supporters? Why would they be so in love with Liberal Hillary? 2)- The FBI Russia probe started BEFORE the election. Sure, Trump was talking like a blowhard jackass, saying controversial things during his campaign, but it was DURING A CAMPAIGN, when we give them some room to talk shit. I think I speak for most Democrats when I say we thought he might settle down and "pivot" once he got elected. We thought he might not end up lying, race-baiting, and trashing the media every single day. It stands to reason that even if he wasn't the greatest, Republicans would have been happy just to have someone on their team, and at least not Hillary, in the White House. This "crooked liberal" FBI shit is nonsense.

  14458. If it was up to me, (I think this is basically what the Dems want), this is what I would want to open the government back up: - A few billion for border security, PART of which would be earmarked for PHYSICAL BARRIERS, and the rest for all else related to border security. If Trump doesn't have the will or attention span to read, calculate, or hire people who can, he shouldn't be POTUS. - No "down payment" on a huge project costing tens of billions. Take it year by year. Barriers aren't skyscrapers. You can build them piece by piece without leaving anyone holding the bag, and the pieces are still effective. (This won't be some failed building project where, for example, half a casino is worth nothing). - An end to measures taken, since Trump took office, to block asylum seekers from seeking asylum. If he wants to call this a "humanitarian crisis", he can't be selective about what is considered humanitarian. - REAL protection for DACA recipients. I've got no problem with ending DACA, but honor the deal for those already in it. Don't keep them guessing or use them as pawns. DACA is merit-based. Amnesties work. Those opposed to all forms of amnesty should get over it. Their situations are not their fault. (Even adults who cross illegally mostly do so to work for people who ILLEGALLY hire them. Share the blame). - Trump would have to give assurances that he'll work in GOOD FAITH to approach the immigration issue free of what is generally seen as xenophobic rhetoric and fear mongering. Good faith in getting accurate cost estimates, and being honest and transparent with the public about them. Reopen the government. "Release the hostages". Then, the work BEGINS. We need comprehensive immigration reform. (GW Bush, a Texan, spoke better Spanish than English, and he couldn't do it). It should include an EFFICIENT path to citizenship, reform of drug laws - including demand side, lots of research, state-by-state federal fund allotment, technology, BARRIERS WHERE PRACTICAL, mutually beneficial US/Mexican economic policies...It's a huge thing. Unfortunately, Trump is a small, petty man with a big ego.

  14466. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

It's missing from my wallet, my bank account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They're liberals." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Someone picked my pocket.

Don - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "Security footage at KFC shows nobody picked your pocket. A guy bumped into you reaching for a pack of hot sauce. Your bank account balanced. Half of the tellers are conservatives, and the computers don't allow them to transfer funds that way. The bank manager checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, the bank manager would have to conspire with ten other managers where you have accounts. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe. There's no evidence of a hack. The expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I fired his ass for giving me good news. What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Maybe your wife did that." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs and they hate me. Dogs love Joe. I bet a dog snuck into my house, fetched money from my mattress, and gave it to Joe." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and you should stop being a baby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "You're claiming Joe stole your money?" Don - "No, but I saw things I can't explain. When offered logical explanations, I put my fingers in my ears and yell 'La La La, I can't HEAR you!' I'm a stable genius." Judge - "What's your evidence?" Don - "My dad paid a smart kid to take my SATs, and he scored..." Judge - "Evidence to validate your suspicions." Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits say I was cheated." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..."

  14469.  @eddieshelton5669  CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, ballot audits, multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy, a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead.

What would you think if Biden was on the phone with Andersen Cooper and CNN's editor every night the way Trump was with Sean Hannity and Rupert Murdoch? This is real simple. If Biden had done and said everything Trump did and said, would you hold the same positions? Didn't think so, and you know I'm right.

And to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries.  And as long as they’re engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s going to be hard for them to do that." It’s pretty clear that (1) Biden is not excusing China’s human rights abuses on the basis of the need to keep the country united, he’s saying that this is Xi’s rationale for his repressive policies; (2) his comment about “different norms” refers to the norm that requires him, as the American President, to speak out for human rights. https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/02/17/china-uyghurs-human-rights-joe-biden-town-hall-vpx.cnn

It is way beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! And we're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you! But go ahead, Trumpers, tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry. Plain and simple.

Remember when presidents didn't constantly bash American states and cities solely based on the party of the governor or mayor? Remember when people merely grumbled about media coverage, but kept that secondary to the reported facts instead of reflexively calling it fake? Remember when the media were considered essential to democracy rather than branded "enemies of the people"? Remember when Congressional candidates used to brag about not being a rubber stamp for a president of their own party?

  14495. Ran Kat - What the hell are you talking about? Prosecuted? It's literally a quote from his psychologist neice about Trump's psychological problems. It's CRAZY how you folks will do all of these mental gymnastics in order to avoid facing the problem!

  14496. pandasniper1 - Yeah, right. Like the money we recoup from Mexico will go into a dedicated wall reimbursement fund. The numbers don't agree with your assertion, and the THEORY that the wall will pay for itself is unproven at best.

  14498. mrwintboc ...Like the trade tariffs with China aren't being paid by the IMPORTERS? That's going to pay for itself, too, right? If these projects that supposedly pay for themselves needed funding from a bank, the bankers would laugh Trump out of the door.

  14499. Goldenhawk H - EVERYTHING in your post is false and/or absurd. The Obama administration gave Iran its own money, that we had frozen for years, and he HELD IT BACK until Iran freed US sailors. The Arab Spring was over before Obama took office, and he had NOTHING to do with the formation of ISIS. You can blame Bush and Assad for that. Most corrupt in history? No drama Obama? First of all, his was the least crooked, and Trump's is BY FAR the most crooked. That's not even a matter of opinion at this point. Trump has literally lost or ousted over half of his cabinet and senior staff in scandal. You are either a clueless sheep or a lying troll.

  14500. Goldenhawk H - Trump is adding to the debt at a faster rate than Obama, who had to preside over a train wreck of an economy left by Bush. When Trump was told that the debt was projected to rise over the next 8 years, he literally said, "I'll be gone then".

  14504. David R. Davidson - Lots of people were on public assistance during the Obama years because of the recession Bush left him. It is ridiculous to blame Obama for police shooting blacks, as if it was due to some policy he implemented. And yes, Obama deported more than Trump, and did it humanely, without separating a fraction of the families or paying private contractors $700 PER DAY to house them in squalid disease traps with no mattresses or toilet paper.

  14510. I haven't heard any conspiracy theories about the election. All I've heard are a lot of baseless accusations of people being PART of a huge conspiracy. Nobody has laid out a plausible theory of how the "conspirators" recruited operatives, stole identities from many locations, counterfeited ballots unique to a variety of machines, stole the information to put on the ballots, smuggled them into many polling locations, bankrolled the operation, laundered the money, got poll watchers to leave without protest, infiltrated the offices in charge of mail-in voting, etc., and made the whole plan come together. Conspiracy theorists never THINK.

  14511. They should lay off of her on the weed thing. Consider the alternative - Was she supposed to DECLINE to prosecute EVERY marijuana case? She wouldn't have lasted very long. It was still her job, and on that level, it isn't like she pulled over the potheads and arrested them herself. If she becomes the nominee, I want her to be in favor of legalization, and she can't do that if everyone is on her case about being hypocritical. If the Democrats don't claim the legalization issue soon, the Republicans will.

  14513. Notice the Trump re-election strategy going on. He is putting the focus on those four freshman Congresswomen. He is trying to paint them as the radical, socialist, "communist" leaders of the party. This is to exploit divisions within the party, and to take focus from the top four candidates who are RUNNING AGAINST HIM, and who are beating him in the polls. By using xenophobic and racist comments, he stirs up his base and paints his real challengers as radicals at the same time. Division between the left and right halves of the Democratic party means there are more ideas to argue. I'll take that over those lock-step, homogeneous, one-trick pony, Trump sycophant Republicans.

  14514. CNN is the McDonalds of news. Let's say ingredients are FACTS. There's some pink slime, but it's mostly beef. Even the slime comes from a real cow. If something artificial gets in there along the way, it's either a mistake or a rare, rogue employee somewhere. It's not a matter of practice. They don't hand you a patty, cheese and a bun at the counter. The preparation is the ANALYSIS, packaged for your consumption. MSM use narratives, as is necessary, so we can make sense of the raw FACTS. OPINIONS are like food critics. They talk about how the food tastes. The food is real at McDonald's, but if you want gourmet, go elsewhere. You'll get a bigger menu and better quality from PBS or Rachel Maddow. More FACTS and better ANALYSIS. FOX News can't pass the health inspection.

  14518. Chucks Grace - If you say Clinton's oppo research was collusion, then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Don Jr said that was just oppo research. Unlike with the dossier, there was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade dirt for sanction relief. How was one wrong, and the other okay?
    1
  14519. Why buy a fake dossier? If they just wanted to make shit up, they could have done that for free. The story would fall apart when it couldn't be verified either way. The dossier, (that was NOT what started this), has NOT been disproven. Do you think the Dems have a time machine? The dossier was started well before the election. Why would Clinton, who thought she was sure to win, plan an intricate revenge plot, just in case she lost, involving the CIA, FBI, foreign intel, and about a dozen other "deep state" agencies. Sure, INTEL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT were ready to risk everything to make Trump look bad. Non-political agencies put law and national security aside for that?? And even though half of them were Republicans, miraculously, nobody leaked or got caught? Don't you think if they had the power to do that, they wouldn't pull a much simpler trick to stop Trump from winning in the first place? The most damning part of the dossier is Cohen meeting Russians in Prague, and guess what - Cohen's sentencing memo revealed he now admits he lied about not wanting to travel to meet them. Turns out, he was eager. That's just the icing on the collusion cake. If there's a "pee tape", that would be the cherry on top.

  14520. I can debunk half of those ridiculous fraud conspiracy theories with one, simple fact: VOTES ALWAYS HAVE TO CORRESPOND TO THE NAME OF A REGISTERED VOTER. They don't just count votes. It's not just, "One more for Biden or Trump." You have to document WHO voted for them. Once you do, you can't vote again under that same name. It's astounding how many IDIOTS do not understand this basic concept.

  14521. Some people want to do a good job and look good doing it. Some feel that doing a good job is what makes you look good. Trump never cared about actually doing a good job. He put all of his energy into looking good, and his ugly ass failed at both.

  14527. Fusion GPS is a legal, American opposition research firm. Actually, it's one person, Glen Simpson, who subcontracted Christopher Steele to do the research he used for the dossier. Fusion was first hired by REPUBLICANS to research Trump. After the primary, Fusion was hired by a group working on behalf of the DNC, not Hillary. She had nothing to do with it. Neither she, nor the DNC colluded with Russia. Fusion GPS had a rule - Its clients couldn't ask, and wouldn't be told how it gathered information. It's nonsense to say Clinton or the DNC colluded with Russia because PUTIN ADMITS HE WANTED TO HELP TRUMP, and he hated Clinton. If there was any impropriety regarding the dossier, it was done by Glen Simpson, (who IS Fusion GPS). He testified to the REPUBLICAN LED House Intel Committee. He stands by his testimony and wanted it released, but the REPUBLICANS refused to release it. Steele did not get information from the Russian GOVERNMENT, and there was no quid pro quo. Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort met with surrogates of the Russian GOVERNMENT to discuss a quid pro quo - dirt on Clinton in return for sanction relief. Steele never gave his dossier to the Clinton campaign. He saw possible criminal activity, and he gave it to the FBI. Neither the dossier, nor the FISA warrant on Carter Page started the Russia probe. It had already begun as a result of George Papadopoulos talking to an Australian intelligence officer. Any questions?

  14530. Officer Hogwash - "Come from Russia"? What, a quid pro quo with the Russian GOVERNMENT to HELP Clinton getvel elected? That whole narrative makes no sense. Putin wanted Clinton to LOSE. The dossier was never given to the Clinton campaign. Steele gave it to the FBI when he saw the suspicious behavior of the Trump campaign, and it was in the Fusion GPS contract that clients could not ask, and would not be told how their oppo research was gathered, and from where. But if you insist that THAT was collusion with Russia, then 5he Trump Tower meeting was collusion to a much greater degree. You can't have it both ways.

  14540.  @hoax845  - They were RIOTS that broke out at CIVIL RIGHTS PROTESTS. What's disrespectful is to call them the "George Floyd riots," which attaches one name of a victim of police brutality to a negative word, and those protests happened because there have been MANY victims. That's why they happened - because that shit hasn't stopped. It's disrespectful to call them "BLM riots" because BLM didn't incite them, and they weren't solely BLM events. They organized the protests, not the riots. This isn't rocket science. They were FAR from being a COUP ATTEMPT at the US Capitol, as you so badly want to equate the two. NO DEMOCRATS CONDONED THE RIOTING PEACEFUL PROTESTS. Tell me, what Democrat did that? We don't condone what's going on in Portland. If that's some kind of organized violence, then why, after all of this time, are most of those people in Portland being charged with low level crimes? What Maxine Waters said was dumb, and she was telling people to harass politicians in public. DO YOU HEAR ANY DEMS REPEATING WHAT SHE SAID? How is one Congresswoman calling for the harassment of politicians one time remotely the same as Trump and his goons calling for "TRIAL BY COMBAT" on the day of the insurrection, directly to the mob, before telling them to march to the Capitol? Don Jr. told the mob that if they didn't fight, he was coming for THEM. How is that remotely like MONTHS of inflammatory rhetoric based on a repeated lie that MANY REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS REPEATEDLY ECHOED?? And still do! What don't you understand about this? Democrats did not organize or defend the rioting at the civil rights demonstrations, and it was not an attempt to overthrow the government. Republicans organized and defended the insurrectionists at the Capitol, which was an attempt to overthrow the government. Are you seriously implying that because there weren't 50 officers that testified that the others didn't think it was so bad? 2 of them killed themselves! "They had opportunities to kill people and didn't"?? They injured 140 cops and killed one! What a ridiculous statement! Do you really think they decided as a group to not go too far? They brought a gallows! Yes, there were white supremacists groups there. That is a FACT. What is the POINT of your whataboutism anyway? Two wrongs make a right? What is the problem? Are you saying it shouldn't be investigated? What are you implying is so unfair?? But I'm sure you'd be downplaying it if that was Biden and the Dems instead of Trump and the Republicans, right? You know very well you would take the opposite position. I am SURE of that. To you, it's all about having Ds or Rs by their names.

  14558. - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show four things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IRRELEVANT HERE. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. 4- It's not just about ID. These bills are full of restrictions that target likely Democrat voters, and they're putting in back-stops that allow them to invalidate and purge votes with no bourdon of proof that there's been any fraud. They're also trying to remove drop boxes in urban areas - which tend to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

Advertisers serve companies who COMPETE with others in their business. Most companies aren't set up for home delivery, so they need you to "get back out there!" It's why Amazon is thriving, restaurants and bars are barely surviving, and we get mixed messages. No wonder the most consumer-driven country in the world is handling the pandemic so poorly.

  14563. TRUMP MUST GO, and his whole cult following needs to be psychologically de-programmed. I watch the news and feel like I'm in the fucking Twilight Zone. 1)- FOX News is saying CNN lied because Michael Cohen's lawyer, ON CNN, backed off a previous statement about what Cohen knows about the Trump Tower meeting. It's a walk back, but let's call it a lie for argument's sake, because that doesn't matter. He lied ON CNN. CNN didn't lie. People go on the news and lie all the time. Since when the hell did we start blaming news outlets for that? (By the way, it's very possible he just said too much, and he's backing off because he's screwing up Cohen's chances for a plea deal. But that's beside the point). 2)- Trump recently tweeted, "Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia" in the interview where he said he was thinking of the Trump/"Rusher" thing when he fired Comey. Why he fired him, and if it's obstruction, is irrelevant. TRUMP NOW SAYS THE REPORT IS LITERALLY FAKED, and we can't believe what came right out of his mouth - 15 MONTHS AGO! Lester Holt got CAUGHT? By who? How? When? The video isn't altered, and Holt was never "caught" altering it! I feel compelled to ask the rhetorical question - Who the fuck would wait 15 months to say that? By the way, video production is someone else's job. I also feel compelled to point out that he's done this before. Long after he ADMITTED to saying, "Grab 'em by the pussy" in the Access Hollywood tape, he told some Senators he thought the tape was fake. 3)- Trump says Google is biased against conservatives. He wants an investigation! IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. Google's algorithms learn by users TELLING IT what they are trying to find, not the other way around. It goes by popular trends and users' search history, so if you think most major news sites are liberal, you're likely to get a liberal site BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Who searches "Trump news" anyway? If you think CNN lies, do you think you'll get the truth from no-name sites run by people who don't have fact checkers and inside sources? Find sites you trust, and go directly to them. An investigation? Google denies it. All that's left is to call a tech guy to confirm it. Trump should have done that before making baseless accusations. And why the does he think Google is out to get him? He's so narcissistic he can't see he isn't the focus of everybody's attention 24/7.4)- Trump says China hacked HillaryClinton's email server - the private server she used over 6 years ago. The one that was already investigated. The one she used for the emails that TRUMP HIMSELF ASKED THE RUSSIANS TO FIND. His own intelligence agencies said his claim is false, but he repeated the lie at an Indiana rally. How many people, companies, and agencies does Trump have to say are out to get him before his followers realize he is a paranoid narcissist? HE LITERALLY THINKS THE CIA IS OUT TO GET HIM. THAT'S WHAT PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS SAY! How many people does he have to say is lying about him before his followers think, maybe HE is the one who is lying. He is CLEARLY scared shitless about an Obstruction of Justice charge. How much more like a guilty person does he have to act before they think, just maybe, he is guilty? He calls the free press the ENEMY of the people! A nutjob in California was just arrested for making over a dozen death threats to a newspaper. He used that "Enemy of the people" phrase. He had 20 guns in his home. These Trump cultists need to WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

I don't get it. They DON'T want more votes and tax revenue? By the way, EDUCATION is another issue where the advantage is on the Democrat side. It's largely a women's issue. Dems have the women. Republicans have Betsy DeVos and an attitude that has them calling teachers unions "terrorist organizations". The Trump presidency is clearly a failure of the public school system. A majority of the public supports legalization. Dems have the younger vote and the old hippies. Republicans have Jeff "Good people don't smoke marijuana" Sessions. And as far as the anti-taxation Republicans go, it's not the same with "sin tax" among grateful potheads. EDUCATION AND MARIJUANA!

Any mischaracterization can get them sued, so they don't do it in practice. You do realize that they have to edit things down to the second for time, right? So they cut them down to the narrative - Not the DNC narrative, the narrative of the STORY. It's NECESSARY to have a narrative to make sense of the raw facts.

Obviously, we are suffering the consequences of his disastrous presidency and this has everything to do with him. I don't like how Biden handled this, but it's delusional to think this would have gone smoothly under Trump. He kissed the Taliban's ass and let 5000 of their fighters out of prison.

He even killed dogs and cats. And the evacuation of Afghanistan was Trump's plan.

  14580.  @cf3443  - Yeah, now insist it's really spelled "your". Keep insisting falsehoods are reality and maybe they'll become true. Blindly and immediately accept YOUR biased narrative, then never admit YOU'RE wrong. Like when Trump was called-out for presenting a copied work of art on his plane as an original, then made it a point to bring up the lie that it was real to everyone who subsequently saw it. How dare anyone speak the truth! Keep living your life brainwashed with blinders on and simply accuse others of being brainwashed and blind. "Fake news!" Avoid the actual subject and just attack the messenger. I hope you feel smug and righteous, but you look stupid.

  14583. I'm liberal. I vote Democrat 90% of the time, but if Trump was a Democrat, I'd go independent. Trump followers are blind tribalists. You're supposed to reserve that kind of devotion for your favorite football team. Mothers of proven criminals swear their kids are innocent. But Trump followers are like bishops who protect pedophile priests and police chiefs who protect dirty cops. Such hypocrisy. 16 of Trump's campaign staff were reaching-out to Russia, but HILLARY colluded with them? Trump bears no responsibility for literally endorsing violence, but the left is a mob? Character mattered when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, but Trump gets a pass? Obama "ruined the country" by raising the debt, but Trump literally saying "I'll be gone then" before the debt balloons and running a $1.3 TRILLION deficit to cut taxes for the 1% is fine? Miscalculating the benefits of the ACA made Obama an insufferable liar, but it's okay if Trump lies about EVERYTHING?? The liberal press is "fake", but working with FOX News and planting stories in the tabloids is okay? Trump followers are indistinguishable from cult members.

Well, his charity was shut down for what the NY AG called a "shocking pattern of illegality", so I wouldn't be so quick to give him the Philanthropist of the Year award.

  14594. Trump PUBLICLY asked Russia to help him win in 2016. Then we found out that 1)- His son, son in law, and campaign chairman met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt on Clinton for sanction relief. 2)- 16 Trump associates lied about 140 Russian contacts. 3)- He 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. Those involved ADMIT to all of the above. It's NOT in dispute. Then, Trump inexplicably started giving Putin everything he wants. Then, Trump was impeached for extorting Ukraine for help with his re-election. Then, he PUBLICLY asked China for re-election help. Then, he said it was okay to take foreign government help to win an election. I repeat, HE SAID IT WAS OKAY. Do you still think that the Russia probe was a hoax?

  14595. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible rather than fudge numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means less MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, tell me - How a fake poll helps a candidate?

  14599. MBS used a gangster tactic similar to why Putin uses rare, radioactive isotopes to kill. They know they'll be blamed. Often, gangsters WANT people to know they did it. They just don't want authorities to have tangible proof. Putin did something similar with that Trump Tower meeting. My theory is that Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort thought the Russians were going to hand them "dirt" in the form of a flash drive or a notebook. That would explain Trump's odd statement right before the meeting: "I'm 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." But he never gave that speech because there was no flash drive. I think the Russians told them, "Just watch the news at convention time. My diplomat, Sergey Kislyak, will be there." (Kislyak was who Mike Flynn was talking sanctions with, and who Jeff Sessions got in trouble for denying he spoke with at the convention). It was there that one of Trump's associates requested ONE change to the Republican platform - To remove language that supported arming Ukraine to fight Russia. That's when the Wikileaks dumps began. Mueller couldn't connect the dirt to Trump's people because they never had possession of it. The "dirt" got out nonetheless, and Trump promptly started working to lift sanctions on Russia. With both the Kashoggi murder and the Russian hack, Trump said, "There's really no way to prove who did it," and wasn't appropriately angry that they happened. It's ironic that Trump-blinded conspiracy theorists say that we're blind to the truth. Why don't they put their energy into conspiracy theories that make more sense? Oh yeah, it's because THEY are biased.

  14605. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

In Trump's case, Mueller couldn't prove Trump wasn't too fucking dumb to know he was colluding. His people met with Russian government surrogates in Trump Tower to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief.

  14631. Imagine Clinton had become president last year amid reports of the Saudis hacking the RNC and trying to get her elected. Imagine she had publicly asked them to dig up dirt on Trump. Say she had refused to criticize the kingdom for its human rights policies, saying, "What? You think we're so innocent?" Imagine her campaign manager, John Podesta, had been working for the Saudis and had helped install a pro-Saudi leader in Yemen. Let's say Huma Aberdeen was to become her National Security Advisor, while being paid to make anti-American speeches in Riyadh, and had failed to register and report the income. Say another staffer was also doing the same - three years after being recruited by Saudi spies. Say Clinton was hiding a deal to build hotels in Riyadh. Imagine if, during the transition, Aberdeen was secretly telling a Saudi Prince she would make sure Clinton would lift sanctions that the President was imposing on them for meddling, then lied to the FBI about it when questioned. Imagine Clinton had been warned by Obama and the DOJ about Aberdeen, but doesn't fire her until the press reports it. Chelsea Clinton is found to have had a secret meeting with a Saudi government lawyer, Saudi intelligence, and Podesta, about trading favors for dirt on Trump. Chelsea's husband is found to have been setting-up back channels with Riyadh with a sanctioned Saudi banker. NINE Clinton associates lie about Saudi connections...Substitute Clinton for Trump in all of these suspicious activities and the many others - Felix Sater. Peter Smith. Roger Stone. The dossier. The server at Trump Tower where 80% of the attempts to communicate came from a Russian bank...Now imagine Podesta and his assistant are charged with money laundering for the Saudis and Conspiracy Against The US. Huma Aberdeen pleads guilty to Perjury after asking for immunity, saying she "has a story to tell". Robby Mook pleads guilty to Perjury after he admits to seeking dirt on Trump from the Saudis. Clinton attacks the intelligence agencies and the DOJ, firing key figures, and crying, "But Trump! Look at Trump!" She calls it a hoax and rejects the idea of EVEN INVESTIGATING THE SAUDIS. The House probe is sabotaged by Nancy Pelosi. Clinton won't release her tax returns. She won't explain ANYTHING - just repeats, "No collusion. No Saudi ties." MSM refuses to report undisputed, newsworthy facts and instead cries, "What about Trump's pussy grabbing and real estate deals?" every day...YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS WOULD HAVE A SHIT FIT AND YOU KNOW IT! I'm a Liberal who likes Clinton, and I WOULD, TOO. I would be crying, "Impeach her!" And I haven't even mentioned half of it.

  14636. Goog Tube - It doesn't matter. They have been convicted. There can be no dismissal, only appeals. In the cases of Stone and Manafort, they were convicted by juries. If their lawyers used the defenses you claim, they failed, and those arguments won't even get them an appeal without new evidence. Flynn pleaded guilty. He has tried to reverse his plea, claiming he was set up, and the judge hasn't seen any evidence of that, so she won't allow it. They have him dead to rights. The judge asked the prosecutors why he wasn't charged with treason. Flynn has done some really bad shit involving dirty dealings with foreign countries, and he should count himself lucky he's only facing six months. Violating FARA laws alone could get him 5 years, and that's a paper crime to which there simply is no defense.

  14638.  @kaybel5104  I'll name three. He tried to arrange the kidnapping of a Turkish opposition leader who is living in asylum in the US, and have him delivered to Turkey. Erdogan, without proof, blames him for a coup attempt. He was certain to have been tortured and killed. Flynn tried to export nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. Flynn was working as an unregistered foreign agent of Russia. He attended an RT (Russian propaganda) event during Trump's campaign, where Putin was in attendance. He lied about his compensation. He obviously did not register as a foreign agent, which is a felony that carries a 5 year sentence, so he could hide these schemes. This is well documented and Flynn does not dispute it. It was reported by several news outlets. Go ahead, look it up.

  14654. Unless you're talking about an actual hate group member, you're never going to technically, definitively prove someone is a racist. It's like when someone says, "Are you calling me a liar?" What does that mean, "a liar"? You're saying they're lying about the issue at hand. Is Steve Bannon "officially" a racist? His supporters would argue until the 5th of never that you have to "prove it", but if you found a publication you call "the platform for the alt-right", and say you're not a racist, it's like saying, "I'm not a Klan member, but I host their meetings at my house". Trump repeatedly says and does racist things, and he is a policy maker. That makes him more dangerous than some backwoods Klan hick. Don't let him and his supporters rope you into arguing the technicalities of each lie and accusation. It's why, while there is a clear pattern of Russian collusion around him, every single one is argued on what technically rises to a legal definition. That definitely must be proven in court, but to say there isn't basis for suspicion is absurd. Unfounded suspicion is certainly enough for those hypocrites to decide Clinton is guilty of fraud and high treason - even without evidence and with provably false information. Don't fall into Trumpers' transactional traps. There are undeniable patterns.

They didn't get anywhere on infrastructure or health care. We don't know why we hate Trump? Are you nuts? Have you ever seen how a normal president operates? We have literally hundreds of reasons to hate him. He is an HABITUAL LIAR. He was grossly incompetent, and refused to learn a thing. He was divisive, narcissistic, racist, crude, vindictive, CROOKED, self-serving, and self dealing. He staged a coup based on a lie. He lied about and bungled the pandemic. He coddled our adversaries and alienated our allies. He colluded, YES, COLLUDED with Russia and pro-Russian Ukrainians...Is that enough reason to hate him, or should I keep going? There's plenty. You think he made good speeches?! Tangents within tangents, repeating himself, with the grammar skills of a 7th grader with a learning disability? Obviously, you only heard the tone, the grievance, and cheered mindlessly. Business deals with China? SO? Trump had MORE business deals with China, as well as Russia. He lied about Trump Tower Moscow. Did that bother you? Do you even understand how bad that was? Do you even understand the difference between private business and government deals? This is very simple. If Obama or Biden had done or said the things Trump got criticism for, you would be outraged, and you KNOW that is true.

  14668. Once, I got into legal trouble. The cops charged me, and I was completely innocent. My case was ultimately dismissed. They saw a "slam-dunk", but I can't say they were out to get me. They didn't investigate enough. I wanted to EXPLAIN, and unlike Trump, I didn't have the tools, like Twitter, FOX News, and a billion dollars, to help me. Try making a phone call from county jail. They put me through a lot of shit I didn't deserve, but objectively, I saw that pure coincidence in the FACTS made me look bad. I didn't argue with the cops. I argued with the court. I didn't cry, "witch hunt!" People sometimes DO get screwed by malicious, unjust prosecution. I'm not naive. This is just my personal experience. OJ Simpson was guilty as sin, so he tried to discredit the investigation. OJ wasn't disadvantaged because he was black. He had an ADVANTAGE because he was a rich, football star. Same with Trump. The "deep state" isn't out to get a Republican. Mueller and the FBI have to make a strong case because he's the President, elected by the people. If Trump is so innocent, why can't he say, "I know this looks bad, but..," followed by an explanation for all of the lies, and things that the "truth" should clear up? Why won't he explain why so many of his associates lied about Russia? Why does he avoid talk of Russia like the plague, except when dismissing it as needing to "get along" with them, without any clear policy? Why hide transcripts of meetings with Putin? Why try so hard to lift sanctions on them when they attacked HIS DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, and wants to say he won the office fair and square? Why does he repeat their propaganda? Why does he OBVIOUSLY want to stop the investigations that could clear his name? Why won't he release his tax returns, especially after we found out he LIED about business with Russia? NOBODY IS UNDER ETERNAL IRS AUDIT FOR EVERY YEAR BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME! Why is he so aligned with Putin's bullshit about Afghanistan and Montenegro? Montenegro is going to start WWIII? Was that a joke? Why was he open to RUSSIANS helping us find out if RUSSIA meddled in our election..? I could go on and on about all of the KNOWN things that cause these suspicions. Calling America's free press "fake" every time does not cut it! If there's an innocent explanation, let's hear it.

  14669. We have minority rule in representation, which created the tyranny of the majority in legislation. The former is a fact. The latter is obvious. It's the result of a decades-long, deliberate Republican strategy. Remember Trump "joking" about how it will soon become a one-party system? That's what he was referring to. It will only get easier for them. Trump has proven to the Republican lawmakers that they can tell their constituents what they want, and not the other way around. They have rid themselves of any sense of shame, decency, and willingness to compromise they may have had. Look at the House and Senate Russia probes. Look at the Supreme Court decisions that have come down since Trump took office. It's not just what side of the issues they're on. The Republican majority, even if held by one seat, dictates what information gets out. The sentiment is, "We're in charge. We do what we want. Screw you". We need re-districting reform. God help us all if the Republicans get a blank check to gerrymander after the next census.

  14672. I've never heard a candidate lie so much about their opponent. Biden is NOT in favor of defunding police, open borders, gun confiscation, or turning the US into a socialist state. Biden was a Senator for decades. He was VP during a successful administration. The notion that there will be war, anarchy in the streets, and some apocalyptic nightmare is absurd. Nor will Biden be a "puppet" of people who don't have his experience. These right-wing talking points are so far removed from reality. Trump talks like a dictator. Republicans and MAGA cultists need to wake up.

  14673. Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

You really think that's not enough reason to investigate?? But a couple of texts, given no context, that lead nowhere, to nobody else, is proof of a coup attempt??

It's not normal for a president - who went to an ivy league college - to misspell the word, "their". It's not normal for the president to be such a partisan contrarian. And it's definitely not normal for the president to trash the DOJ every single day. You Trump supporters do realize somebody else is going to be president eventually, right? I know, you'll just be hypocrites when you don't like them and they do the same things. Just wait until the next Democrat gets in office and you hear, "What about Trump?" The difference, though, will be that it will be said with sarcasm.

  14734. CNN is a Super PAC for the Democrats Say Vince runs a gang and hates former Detective Holly because she was always trying to bust him. Then Holly decides to run for mayor against a guy named Dan. Vince's gang breaks into Holly's house, steals her computer, on which are pics of her kissing a man who isn't her husband. Vince's gang gets busted for the burglary. On Vince's phone are texts with 16 of Dan's campaign staff. Cops question Dan, who insists neither he, nor any of his staff have ever texted with Vince. Meanwhile, the pictures of Holly go viral online, and Dan wins the election. Cops confront Dan's staff with the evidence. They first deny knowing Vince, but then admit to knowing him and discussing how to knock Holly out of the running. One staffer not only texted with Vince, but also with the burglars. Would the cops have reason to suspect Dan? To investigate him? Dan not only still insists that his staff are innocent, but that their ethics were acceptable, and that maybe Vince's gang didn't even commit the burglary. He suggests maybe Holly put those self-incriminating pictures online herself. Dan is investigated, but not charged. Does that make the cops criminals? In the next election, do you trust Dan, who insists he is the real victim? Who insists that kind of behavior is not only legal, but ethical - as long as it helps HIM?

  14745. True DukeBlue7 - Putin definitely did NOT want Clinton to win. That's beyond ridiculous. You obviously don't know the history between the two. On Uranium One: Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can’t veto a transaction; only the president can. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the Uranium One decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself “never intervened” in committee matters The timing of most of the donations does not match Of the $145 million allegedly contributed to the Clinton Foundation by Uranium One investors, the lion’s share — $131.3 million — came from a single donor, Frank Giustra, the company’s founder. But Giustra sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007, three years before the Russia deal and at least 18 months before Clinton became secretary of state. See how those claims make no sense?

We have to think about this like a blizzard. Look at Canada. Look at the rest of the world. Why can't we just do what they did? - Close restaurants and bars, and send them financial aid. - Mass produce cheap masks and hand sanitizer, and hand them out at the door of every essential business. - How about "Quarantine Tuesday?" Pick one or two days a week when EVERYTHING is closed. - PSAs. Run commercials with a CONSISTENT message about the top 10 most important things to do, and educate people about what a virus actually is and how it spreads. - We can't have the President lying, working against these measures, holding mass rallies, and using a disease as a weapon in a culture war! - Cancel or postpone all sports, concerts and big events. It's not forever IT'S JUST FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SH1T HAPPENS. Quit acting like we're living in occupied Fallujah. By next year, there will be a vaccine.

  14747. Liberals outnumber conservatives, but Republicans refuse to try to win liberals over. They win by suppressing Dem votes and turning out their base through division. So, even when they win, they don't get new voters. They keep repeating the strategy, as there's always an election around the corner. Doubt that? Look at Trump, who treated half the country as an enemy. They can't let him go no matter how much trouble he caused them. Didn't they get exhausted? Look at Black voters. Republicans only get about 10% of their vote, and winning them over is always too big of a mountain to climb in under two years. The solution is right in front of them, but they won't look past their noses. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular. A minimum wage hike, health care reform, pot legalization, COVID mitigation, racial justice, sensible gun control, and addressing climate change are all favored by a SOLID majority of the electorate. Republicans ignore and/or deny ALL of those issues. Republicans need to worry more about DOING the job than KEEPING the job. They cry "election security," but why is it that every security measure they propose just happens to be the something that hinders liberal turnout? They can't even be bipartisan about a probe into what went wrong at the Capitol! It's INSANE to demand that an investigation focus on "left wing extremists." WHAT left wing extremists?? Antifa is nothing but about 50 unorganized people who have no support, and were not at the Capitol riot. BLM is NOT an extremist group. Do Republicans really want to demonize a group that demonstrates against systemic racism? Yeah, that will help get Black votes and end the stereotype that Republicans are racist! I hope they DO look into BLM, SEPARATELY, to show the difference between them and a coup attempt based on lies, executed by The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, Confederate dead-enders, and a half-dozen white supremacist groups who were decidedly partisan and encouraged by a majority of the Republican Congress and the President himself. I thought Republicans called theirs the "party of ideas"? Well, make with the ideas. Failing that, they could learn to agree with Dems about what the PROBLEMS are and argue over the SOLUTIONS. What are the problems? Public opinion is clear on that. They're the wealth gap, minimum wage, health care, marijuana, COVID, racism, gun control, and climate change. They're NOT communism, threats to the 2nd Amendment, left-wing extremism, sanctuary cities, or gay rights. And there is equal blame on BOTH SIDES for "cancel culture" and outsourcing jobs overseas, so don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

  14754. If you say Clinton's oppo research was collusion, then what do you call the Trump Tower meeting? Don Jr said that was just oppo research. Unlike with the dossier, there was a QUID PRO QUO with the Russian GOVERNMENT to trade dirt for sanction relief. How was one wrong, and the other okay?

  14756. David Eby - The House impeachment was an INDICTMENT, where the defense does not get to call witnesses. That's for the TRIAL. Everything was fair, and you are a fucking hypocrite if you can say that, yet agree with McConnell's tactics. Do you really think, if Republicans controlled the House, they would have let in defense witnesses?? Take a look at what they DID do when they controlled it for Trump's first two years. They fucking BLOCKED attempts to fight back against Russian election interference.

  14757. Tyler Moorman - Yes, I paid attention to the ONE impeachment that has happened in the last hundred + years. What's your point? The Republicans have some nerve to complain about partisan, frivolous impeachments after going after Clinton over a lie about his personal life after they couldn't find anything else. You do realize that McConnell declared that he was not interested in fairness and would coordinate with Trump, right?

  14761. Learn how it works. Eventually, the EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will endorse a candidate. Too many people think just because they are ON the news, that the news is "pushing" them. Usually, it's as simple as the candidate seeking to be interviewed. They are pushing themselves. Stop making the media the central focus of everything. It's a PLATFORM. Think about why it is called MEDIA.

And I thought the popular opinion among CNN critics is that they're a bunch of far left, socialism pushers?

  14767. Russian connections? What does that mean? WHO had connections to WHAT Russians? You are a fucking idiot. Putin hated Clinton, and helped Trump win. Trump's top people had connections to members of the Russian GOVERNMENT, who they reached out to for help in an ELECTION, when they knew Russia was attacking our election. Those facts remain no matter how much chaffe you try to throw.

  14768. When Mike Pence was asked if ANYONE in the campaign had ANY contacts with Russians, he said, "Of course not. Why would they?" Yeah, why would they? Are high level meetings with surrogates of powerful, adversarial, foreign governments a normal part of a Presidential campaign? No. It's unheard of. Trump, like all candidates, was warned about foreign meddlers and asked to call the FBI if they saw anything suspicious. Instead, Don Jr said, "If it's what you say, I love it".

Trump's charity foundation, however, is being probed, and was dissolved for what the NY AG calls, "a shocking pattern of illegality". If you believe that Seth Rich shit, you are dumb as a box of hammers. Trump admits the Russians attacked our election, moron, and it was much more than a few computer hacks.

  14774.  @joeyanderson6660  - Obviously, YOU lost the argument. You can't even say how this "conspiracy" worked. NONE if you can. Just ridiculous arguments like "Biden must have cheated because only three people were at his rallies and he got more votes than Biden." Do you know how dumb that sounds? CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  14775.  @joeyanderson6660  - You need ID to vote. You show it when you register. The data show three things: 1- Individual voter fraud is virtually non-existent. 2- Blacks and/or lower income citizens are statistically less likely to have the ID required. 3- Lower income citizens and/or especially Blacks are much more likely to vote Democrat. It's not hard to see why Republicans are doing this. Make a list of ways to suppress votes. Then make one of ways to improve voter security. Compare them to the Republican plan.

That was a quid pro quo with surrogates of the Russian government.

  14785.  @unvaccinatedAndPureBlood  It IS negative. He has gotten ZERO concessions from North Korea. After the first failed summit, he tweeted that the nuclear threat was gone. Then there was a second failed summit. NK has 60 nukes, is technically still at war with the US, yet Trump doesn't care about getting inspectors in there. But Iran has no nukes, and Trump broke the deal with them, saying inspections weren't tough enough. He wants to "get along" with Kim, Putin, and MBS. A "good relationship" is all he wants with these tyrants, as he jokes with those JOURNALIST MURDERERS about "fake news". He just basically called the CIA liars, and sided with the Saudis AGAIN. But I digress. Do you see your own bias in your post? About being sure CNN with spin this negatively? Wake up.

  14799. FlandYEET - No, they don't. 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?

Moronic right wingers and Trump followers don't know the difference.

  14808. Dems have good ideas, but suck at messaging. Republicans have horrible ideas, but they're great at messaging. RESTRUCTURING police departments is good. Chanting "DEFUND" is stupid. Dems say, "But 'defund' really means restructure." Then call it RESTRUCTURE. "Black lives matter really means all lives matter." Then why not call it ALL LIVES MATTER? Well now, they say THAT is a racist trope. Did they really think the right would NOT respond with, "What about white lives and blue lives? See. BLM members are the REAL racists!" Arnold Swarzenegger said that when you say "climate change", people tune out, but call it "pollution", and people listen. The term, "climate change" has become a weapon in a culture war. You can't demand an immediate end to racism and expect it to go away. You CAN demand an immediate end to police brutality. That should be the focus. Racism, brutality and pollution shouldn't even be political issues. They're Republican wedge issues. Culture wars divide. It's why they put up with Trump's lies, ineptitude, corruption, and childishness. It helps them politically.

You do realize you can't just counterfeit a ballot, right? They correspond to the name and identifying serial numbers of an actual registered voter on file, and no voting system accepts multiple ballots for the same person. Damn, you people are so dense and ignorant.
    1
  14820.  @usneome  The election was reviewed 50 ways from Sunday already. CISA, DOJ, the Supreme Court, 60 lower courts, ballot audits, multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy, a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation by the top Georgia election official, virtually all polls showing Trump behind Biden, an approval rating that never hit 50% in four years, a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer now says a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. Do you think what they're doing in Maricopa county is legitimate and unbiased? Do you realize who they hired to do it? And after all that talk about transparency, they're making the whole operation opaque. Just another Republican hypocrisy and projection.

  14821. The only way the MAGA crowd will realize what kind of dangerous buffoon it elected will be if Hollywood makes a movie. It should be a dark comedy, maybe by the Cohen brothers or Tarantino. Oliver Stone has already lost his mind. They need 2 hours of fact-is-crazier-than-fiction to describe what's been going on for the past 4 years. Change the names, but not the events or the quotes. Real news footage, even though they'll call it "fake". Anyone see the old episode of The Simpsons, where Trump was President in a dystopian future for 7 minutes? They tried to warn us. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight in a feature-length film..? (I was thinking about a line in Dogma, where Alan Rickman's character says something like, "You Americans. If it's not in a movie, it's not worth knowing, now is it?") For three years, I've been waiting for Obama to publish his memoirs to show some contrast to the buffoon. Now we know they're coming out in November. A little late, Barack. But it doesn't surprise me, because true to form, Obama is deliberate, careful, and self critical. True to form, Donald Trump is a bull in a china shop who only thinks about himself, but is incapable of being self-critical.

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..?

  14831. Trump is putting forth two contradictory defenses. One is that there was no quid pro quo. He didn't hold up the aid and a White House meeting until the Ukrainians announced investigations. He didn't know Lev Parnas, and Parnas was not conducting shadow foreign policy in Ukraine. The other is that he did these things, but that it was perfectly legal. He was fighting corruption in Ukraine. The first one is easy to disprove. Trump is on tape talking shop with Lev Parnas. Mick Mulvaney said there was a quid pro quo. So did Sondland, and about a dozen other witnesses, in sworn testimony. The second is just as easy to disprove. If this was a legitimate anti-corruption initiative, why the secrecy? Why did he hide the record of that phone call on a super-secure hard drive? Why did the whistleblower make his/her complaint? It was legit, but nobody explained that? Why did the IG determine that the complaint had merit? If Trump was just fighting corruption, why did he remove the ambassador to Ukraine whose specialty it was to root out corruption in Ukraine? Of all of the potential corruption there, why now go after Biden, his biggest political threat, for stuff that happened years ago? And the "server"? Why make up such an utterly, totally, ridiculously absurd thing to investigate? If the Ukrainian government hacked our election, why have them INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES? Why push for only the ANNOUNCEMENT of these probes, and not actual probes? Zelinsky never did the investigations or announce them. So why did Trump finally release the aid? These things are obvious to those who aren't turning a blind eye to them.

He had to balance his response with the need to not influence the election politically - apparently a smart idea. Look at all of the Trumpers whining about Comey and Mueller playing politics! There is a Washington Post article that goes into detail about what Obama did to mitigate the Russian attack. What has Trump done about it? Oh, yeah, worked to lift sanctions, refused to acknowledge it even happened until he was forced to, and decried EVEN INVESTIGATING IT.

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. - 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 140 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. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - 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". - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Roger Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi "predicted" the DNC email hacks with astounding accuracy. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, saying, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel". - 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others). - The Special Council's office has charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with money laundering through the NRA. - The Trump Foundation charity has been dissolved. It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

  14859. That would mean Joe Biden SHOULD have Trump indicted, right? ...And that Kamala Harris could steal another term for Biden and herself. But Kamala Harris SUPPORTED a bill that now clarifies that a VP cannot do that. Stark contrast between two administrations.

  14862. 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!
    1
  14863. So, the left-wing plan to get Trump was to let him - even HELP him - get elected, and then go after him afterward? You'd think they would try to PREVENT his election in the first place. Why would Comey announce the re-opening of the Clinton email case, but not the Russia investigation? (To stay out of politics). Why didn't the Clinton camp put out the dossier before the election? (Steele didn't give it to Clinton. He gave it to the FBI). Why didn't the Clinton camp expose Manafort, Papadopoulos, Cohen, and Page's dealings before the election? (Clinton didn't know about it. The FBI did, and they kept it quiet so they wouldn't screw-up their case. If they were out to stop Trump, they would have leaked it to Clinton). Make sense?

  14864. I think it's funny that when Trump lashed-out at the New York Times on Twitter - "@nytimes has done a long & boring story indicating that the World’s most expensive Witch Hunt..," he wrote "long and BORING". He doesn't have the attention span to read an entire article - even about HIMSELF, while he feels the subject matter is an existential threat to him!

  14865. I really think it is precisely BECAUSE Trump is so horrible that he retains so much support. His FANS (as in sports or entertainment) were iffy on him to begin with, so they doubled-down and got so defensive of him that they're stuck that way.

  14866. rebecca - Clapper did not admit they were politically spying on Trump. I just heard him say the opposite. But furthermore, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT RUSSIAN SPIES WITH SPIES! The whole reason for the probe is to find out what the Russians did. That HAS TO HAPPEN. Can you imagine doing nothing, like Trump wants?? And that means looking into whether anyone in the US helped. Duh. It HAD TO HAPPEN! And it isn't like they looked and found nothing. THEY FOUND TRUMP PEOPLE LYING THEIR ASSES OFF AND REACHING OUT TO RUSSIA! They were working to relieve sanctions, for fucks sake! Can you imagine George W Bush trying to lift sanctions on Saddam Hussein before the Iraq war? Common sense! Do you idiots have no common sense??

  14867. Carter Page was recruited by Russian spies in 2013. Fact. The FBI had to tell him, "Those guys you were giving material to - they were spies". Then, 3 years later, he was traveling to Moscow AS PART OF A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN to make anti-Anerican speeches. OF COURSE YOU KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT GUY!!

Flynn ADMITTED to lying. Intelligence CAUGHT HIM talking about sanctions with the Russian ambassador. Stone was convicted of lying by a jury. He bragged about communicating with the hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. You are just regurgitating talking points that have never made sense because you are obviously so stupid, you don't know how any of this works.

  14888. Funny how Trump thinks that pointing out Biden's "corruption" will hurt his chances, but somehow being impeached for corruption will help Trump. Funny how Trump condemns Biden as corrupt for his quid pro quo, that was supported by everyone, even the Republicans, but says his quid pro quo was okay, and defends it FOR THE SAME REASON - saying it was to fight corruption in Ukraine. The hypocrisy and self-contradiction is astounding!

  14890. Wally Censorship - Humans are what we are because of how we evolved in the environment of this one, little planet. We see in only a sliver of the spectrum. We have the body parts and senses of creatures who need to survive in this particular gravity, in this particular atmosphere, on this one particular branch of the tree of life. There are other creatures on Earth that can sense things we can't. Sharks and some birds can "see" the magnetic field. We are only as smart and perceptive as any life could get on one planet in the 3.5 billion years since life emerged. But you think God, who ostensibly is behind ALL life and ALL phenomena in the entire universe made humans to be just like him? I hope God is a lot more complicated than that!

  14891. Blue Eyes - I always though Christianity was crazy because it's a very small segment of the population, during a relatively small blip in time, that if they don't accept their savior, they'll burn for eternity. "Sorry, Buddhist, you were a good man, but you didn't praise Jesus, so..." And the concept of "holy land"? Jerusalem is just a tiny surface area that only exists for a blip in time until the tectonic plates scramble the land into something else. But God made it special? Have they seen all of the other places on Earth HE made?

  14892. Garry Graves - In which comment? Any religion that expects people to take their stories literally and contradict settled science is absurd.

Hinduism seems to be pretty close to the science about the nature of the universe.

You've got those absurd conspiracy theories on the right about how "Clinton was really the one who colluded with Putin", who hated her and wanted her to lose as he sent surrogates to offer dirt on her to a WILLING, EAGER Trump campaign. You've got FOX News starting every report with, "The left is at it again!" as they claim MSM are biased. Donald Trump was bitching about a rigged election as he told people to vote twice, and it was okay to cheat in his favor. He lies habitually and says everyone else is lying about him...Are you serious? Are you that much of a sheep??

  14896.  @pisteuostew5911  She conspired with Russia to do what? Lose the election? Putin hated her. Why would he conspire with her? And don't give me that Fusion GPS nonsense. But let's say that somehow was collusion with Russia. Then what would you call the Trump Tower meeting? Super duper collusion? How could one be collusion and the other not? You can't have it both ways. Except that was not a quid pro quo with the Russian government to trade illegal dirt for sanction relief, and the dossier was never given to Clinton or used in the campaign.

  14901.  @rebekkahravenwood25  I'm going to stop you right there at the first sentence. Collusion is not a crime. Collusion is cooperation with nefarious intent. That meeting was collusion. The question was whether or not it could be prosecuted as CONSPIRACY. For conspiracy, they had to collude, cooperate, with a foreign government, and there had to be a quid pro quo - a trading of something of value. That meeting was surrogates of the Russian government trading sanction relief for dirt on Clinton. We haven't seen the report. For whatever reason, Mueller declined to recommend prosecution for conspiracy. If he had, Trump would have pardoned Kushner and his son, anyway. Maybe Mueller couldn't tie the dirt that Wikileaks released to the dirt that the Russians were offering at that meeting. But you people are missing the point. The President's people COLLUDED with Russians who they knew were attacking our election when they should have called the FBI and reported it. That's a fucking traitor in my book. There was an investigation because Trump and 16 of his associates lied about screwing around with the Russians. You cannot honestly tell me that is not a good reason to look into it, and you cannot honestly tell me you'd be okay with it if Clinton did it. It doesn't matter what Mueller recommended when it comes to whether or not Trump is a lying, piece of shit traitor and a cheater, because we have all seen the evidence of that.

It's a flat out contradiction for Trump to say, "Why should there be witnesses in the trial when they ALREADY had them in the House, and at the same time, say that if Dems want them in the Senate, they should have called them in the House! Do you fucking idiots even think about the talking points you parrot??

    1
  14910.  @mikehands61  Are you saying the Trump Tower meeting wasn't collusion? Yeah, I'm sure you would have been just fine if Biden did these things: - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia targeted the 2020 election to favor him, and fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump initially commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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."

Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he publicly criticized Putin. - It was common knowledge that 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. - Trump has NEVER criticized Putin. - Trump has never publicly expressed anger or disappointment with any of his people for dealing with Russians, supposedly behind his back. - Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the US Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay in power for the time being. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refused to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  14911.  @mikehands61  Yes, the meeting where Trump's son, son-in-law, and campaign chairman met with Russian government surrogates to trade sanction relief for illegally obtained dirt on Trump's opponent. That's cooperation, aka collusion. How is it not? Again, the question NONE OF YOU will answer, If that was Biden and his people, would you be okay with it? Would you say investigating that would be a witch hunt? Oh, but "Give it up, this is stupid" is a compelling argument, huh?

If nobody is watching, they just use ladders and shovels...Oh, yeah, but the border patrol agents get tired. LOL. Well, I guess they can snort some of the cocaine they seize to stay awake.

  14935. Often, the problem is that police are trained to shoot INDISCRIMINATELY, regardless of COMMON SENSE. Often, impatient, irritated cops escalate, then start, and don't STOP shooting. - During a simple traffic stop on a busy street in broad daylight, a man riding with his girl and a baby told a cop he had a gun and a permit, and got blown away. - In the absurd "war on drugs", a woman was killed in her bed because her ex-boyfriend was a drug suspect who wasn't there. Cops falsified the warrant. One cop shot repeatedly, target unseen, from outside of the apartment. - A cop said she mistook a man's apartment for her own, and killed a man who was alone eating ice cream in his living room. - A mentally ill man was killed by cops, shot four times in front of his house and his mother - who called them - because he ignored commands to drop a screwdriver. The cop was a safe distance away. The man didn't threaten anyone. The cop continued commands to drop the tool as he lay dying, then cuffed him. - Cops tazed a girl who tried to run in handcuffs. Her head hit the pavement, and she suffered permanent brain damage. - One cop shot a handcuffed, old man 12 times because he reached for a knife. The cop was charged with murder, but was acquitted, as he was trained to "shoot at the body mass until the threat is gone". But I guess BLM shouldn't protest because thugs might hijack the rally and start rioting. And if you're a conservative, you've got to ignore systemic racism by police or you're a bad conservative, huh? Yet, members of the party claimed by the Klan and the Neo-Nazis complain about about being labeled as racists. It might help if decent conservatives would make a better effort to denounce bigots and bad cops.

But the way they get away with it is by keeping us responding so emotionally that everything has to be "treason". Trump especially shouldn't do it because he is the president, but this "any old word will do" thing just breeds these bs arguments about taking people literally or figuratively. Trump THRIVES on that.
    1
  14941. There is NO evidence of that! Trump said the election could be tied up in litigation for years. He's setting up his eventual excuses and conspiracy theories. He's offered no solutions to "problems" with mail-in voting. He's obviously creating problems with the post office. He lied and said he didn't meet with the Postmaster General and doesn't know what he's doing - cutting overtime, removing mail sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. Trump is sending out his own absentee ballot requests to North Carolinians, complete with his picture and disparaging remarks about Dems. It's an obvious attempt to suppress votes. Anyone who returns one of those requests is a fool. Get the official state request. 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. 50% of voters won'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 doing just that.

  14955.  @HughJorgan1  I never admitted he didn't tell 25,000 lies. He did. The Russia scandal contained many, many media reports, ALL of which were true. Same with COVID. Again, you cannot name one single report in which the media lied. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?page=2&speaker=donald-trump&ruling=false https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/07/13/president-trump-has-made-more-than-20000-false-or-misleading-claims/%3foutputType=amp And collusion means COOPERATION, so yes, Trump colluded. He was not charged with the crime of conspiracy.
    1
  14956.  @HughJorgan1  - The Republican led Senate Intel Committee concluded that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016. - Trump has actively worked to get intelligence to change assessments that Russia is targeting the 2020 election to favor him, and has fired two people over it. - The Trump Tower meeting was a quid pro quo with members of the Russian government to trade illegally obtained dirt for sanction relief. - 16 Trump associates lied about 140 contacts with Russians after Trump said there were no contacts whatsoever. Mike Pence was asked if there was any contact at all with any Russians. He replied, "Of course not. Why would there be?" He ostensibly admitted there was no good reason for any of the contacts. - Trump publicly asked Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. "Russia, if you're listening..." - The Mueller Report details 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. - Trump campaign strategist, Roger Stone, self described "dirty trickster" was convicted of 7 felonies in connection with the Russia probe. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Trump's campaign chairman, convicted felon, Paul Manafort, attended the infamous 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, to eliminate language that affirmed US commitment to military aid to Ukraine. At the RNC convention, attended by a Russian ambassador, a Trump staffer made this request. He says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Paul Manafort and Trump denied any involvement. - Roger Stone bragged of being in touch with both the hackers and the disseminators of stolen DNC emails. (Trump commuted Stone's sentence, but did not pardon him, acknowledging his guilt while simultaneously insisting he is innocent). - Stone and partner, Jerome Corsi, "predicted" the DNC email hacks. Before Clinton campaign mgr., John Podesta's email account was hacked, Stone emailed an associate, "It will soon be Podesta's time in the barrel." - Trump lawyer, convicted felon, Michael Cohen, named Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC case involving bank fraud. Cohen was involved in a real estate venture to build a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was campaigning. Trump lied about the deal, leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, who knew he was lying to the public. - Trump foreign relations advisor and convicted felon, George Papadopoulos, suggested that Trump meet with Russians to get dirt on Clinton. - On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting. He denies he told his father about it, but 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 about the meeting. - Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around monitoring by US intelligence They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's then-failing 666 5th Avenue real estate venture. - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials. - The FBI asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, as they do with all political campaigns, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting." After being impeached for blackmailing Ukraine for election help, Trump said that accepting foreign election help was okay. - At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why "it WOULD have been Russia" who meddled in our election. He later lied, and said he meant to say "WOULD'T" meddle. Later, on several occasions, he expressed doubt that Russia meddled after all. Trump does, however, trust the intelligence services of Ukraine, a country he calls corrupt, over the CIA. - 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. (Page got 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 he 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. - 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 repeated Russian propaganda many times. 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). - Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. This prompted the resignation of the Secretary of Defense. - Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now. - The Special Council's office charged and jailed a suspected Russian spy, Maria Butina, in connection with funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. Sater once said he could help make "our guy" president. - While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. - Trump blocked the release of a State Department statement condemning Russia for seizing Ukrainian ships. - Trump pushed Ukraine to make a deal with Russia in order to lift sanctions imposed on them over their invasion of Ukraine. - The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016 was originated by Russian military intelligence. - Trump has repeatedly insisted that Russia should be re-admitted to the G7, without any change in their behavior. - Trump took funds from the Pentagon budget to fund his wall that came from programs to safeguard Ukraine from Russian aggression. - Trump refuses to release tax returns that could inform authorities of any business dealings in Russia, and lied about the reason he will not release them. - Trump has fired or forced-out every senior official involved in the Trump/Russia scandal: Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr...He has disrupted the prosecutorial process of virtually anyone dealing with laundering Russian money through New York - the "capitol" of money laundering through real estate.

  14962. If you start with the premise that the entire mainstream media, the Democrats, and the "deep state" are all in cahoots to control everything, you also have to accept everything that would go along with that premise. It defies common sense. - You would have to believe that, despite all of their power, this "deep state" either allowed or couldn't stop the Republicans from having the power that they do. The deep state couldn't stop Trump from becoming president? The deep state allowed Republicans to control the Senate, the White House, and gain and have a Conservative majority on the Supreme Court? They also had the House for Trump's first two years. They literary controlled everything. - You would have to believe that the media outlets ALL get together and coordinate their message, even though they COMPETE with each other and live to expose facts. The "liberal" media and the deep state allow FOX News to exist? Really? - You would have to believe the president when he says almost everyone else is lying about him on an almost daily basis, even though he is a PROVEN habitual liar. Really? REALLY??

  14964.  @tonyrmathis  It was far from universal. Only a few states expanded mail-in voting that didn't have it before, and fewer still in battleground states. There is virtually no difference in the information about you that poll workers have in person vs. by mail. In person, you hand in your ballot or drop it in a box like you'd drop it in a mailbox. When I did mine, they sent me an email that they got my request, and another when they received my ballot. Trump is the one who screwed with the mail. That is obvious. Nobody said Trump voters couldn't vote by mail. CISA said this was the most secure US election ever. Wake up and smell the coffee. Trump is a sore loser.
    1
  14965.  @tonyrmathis  There are no "extra ballots." Each ballot is bar-coded and accounted for. They check signatures against the one on your ID that you use to register. Again, few states sent out ballots to everyone without a request, and fewer were in battleground states. Not to mention, the whole system if voting on a Tuesday makes it difficult. We want high voter participation.
    1
  14966.  @tonyrmathis  No, most people wouldn't take advantage of getting their hands on someone else's ballot. You think people are dying to commit a felony to get one more vote in an electoral college system? First, they'd have to get a hold of a ballot someone else is MISSING, then forge a signature. It doesn't make sense. The only way to sway an election by fraud is by concerted effort involving MANY people.
    1
  14967.  @tonyrmathis  Wrong. Signatures on mail-in ballots are checked without a challenge.
    1
  14968.  @tonyrmathis  Bogus registrations don't happen. Massive numbers of people are creating false identities to register to VOTE. Do you know how many people would have to do that to make a difference?? Most people register at the DMV, where your ID is made. If you don't do it at the DMV, you need an official ID FROM the DMV. Thousands of people aren't creating false identities just to vote! If they were, it would still make no difference whether or not the identity thief voted in person or by mail. THINK about the PROCESS - from obtaining an ID, to registering, to obtaining a ballot, to how it gets to the poll workers, to how they count the votes. It doesn't make sense that people are doing that individually, and if there was a concerted scheme, it would involve too many people, too many steps, and too many ways to get caught and expose the whole scam. It's a fact that no observers were shut out. In Wisconsin, they publish all ballot images and put them online. You think entire groups of criminal, partisan poll workers figured out who the Dems were among them who they could trust, staged silent coups at polling stations and said, "Republican observers, Get out!" then just started changing ballots?! Your only evidence of this is your opinion that it's theoretically possible. It's RIDICULOUS. By your logic, we could just as easily accuse Republicans of doing the same thing! Use your head. Learn how this process works.

  14969.  @tonyrmathis  So? They ATTEMPTED to REGISTER the homeless, and GOT CAUGHT. The system worked. Like I said, you need ID to register. By the way, the reports don't say what their party affiliations are. In California, Dems don't need to cheat.

  14971. MSM bashers - When the media says, "Michael Cohen is fiercely loyal to Trump", it is based on one statement - "I would take a bullet for him". That's a narrative. (They have to have a narrative. It's how you report a story). You can take or leave the narrative. However, it is a FACT that Cohen did say it. You can't just take or leave that. Get it? Don't accept Trump's new definition of "fake" as meaning false. It's how the line gets blurred. Fake means false. "Fake news" means it's an imposter outlet and/or a lie. BIASED means biased. If you don't like the narrative, ignore it. If you don't like the facts, deal with it. Editorial is not fact. What a guest says ON CNN is not a statement BY CNN. You want discussion panels to represent differing opinions, right? Well, then someone on the panel is going to say something you don't agree with. Learn something about what you're bashing. YOU are the brainwashed. YOU are "drinking the Kool-aid". Stop thinking you have healthy skepticism and a sense for who is bullshitting you. If you trust Trump, you are not a good judge of character. If "fake news", is your mantra, YOU are so much more biased than the news media ever could be.

It is being investigated for what the New York AG says is a "shocking pattern of illegality". Donald Trump wrote a check, from the foundation's account, for $25k to then Florida AG, Pam Bondi, who then declined to move a lawsuit forward against Trump University. A donation from the charity was traced to a portrait of Trump hanging in a country club. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party. - In January, 2019 Trump 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.

Christ, Trump won't even go to Great Britain because of his mouth. Hey, Trump supporters - since you love watching the bs Hillary and media bashing vids, check out the Trump supporter videos.

  14993. You Trumpers don't get it. It isn't about qualifying how much of a "shithole" these countries are. It is beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! We're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. And don't tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry.

  15007. J H - How are they destroying due process or the Constitution? Dems don't control anything right now. Blasey Ford brought HERSELF forth. Feinstein had a duty to try to get her heard. It was the Republicans in the Senate who denied due process by suppressing witness testimony. A confirmation hearing IS due process. Again, it's up to the Republicans who to gets investigated. They have the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House. What are you accusing Corey Booker of? How does gender classification destroy America? And SCIENCE? Really? It's the right-wingers who refuse to believe overwhelming consensus on climate change. They simple aren't blaming white men for every individuals problems. That's absurd. Got anything substantial to say?
    1
  15008. J H - Ford didn't want to go public at first. Then, she did. She wrote Feinstein as soon as Kavanaugh was on the short list, so you can rule out it being manufactured by the Dems. Of course Feinstein used timing as a strategic maneuver. If you want to get outraged about that, you're a hypocrite. Have you seen the way McConnell and Grassly have been working and cheating the system? Look what they did to Merrick Garland and Obama. "The left" is about half the country. We aren't all in a club with a single set of beliefs. You are generalizing the hell out of it. And your assertion that we don't want to put America first is just completely absurd.

He and his associates don't cover their tracks well. How is he still President? How? Is this just the slow, grinding wheels of justice? Mueller just dotting i's and crossing t's? This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't such a ridiculously, dangerously incompetent President. But EVERY SINGLE DAY, this man has done or said something outrageous. The scandals, lawsuits and indictments are piling up, and all he can answer with are conspiracy theories about the deep state and saying it's just liberal haters who can't stand that he's so successful. SERIOUSLY? Watching the news is like watching The Twilight Zone now.

  15021. 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.

He recently said there was nothing wrong with doing it again!

This all-powerful "deep state" allowed the Republicans to control both chambers of Congress, the White House, and have a 5/4 majority on the Supreme Court? But Trump isn't part of this deep state, huh? Trump, who is actually serving the interests of the Putin regime - which wants to take down the US and the Western alliance?? Are you nuts? Where did you get your "law degree"? Trump University? Funny, you think you're schooling me. You don't learn common sense in school.

The devil is in the details with this wall/fence/slat thing. There will be issues with eminent domain, environmental concerns, lost commerce...In a state of "emergency", Dems will hold his feet to the fire. The media will put him under the microscope. Who gets the contracts? Is the money being well-spent? Is it fast enough for an emergency? Good enough to be effective? And it isn't like it can be done quickly, quietly, and behind closed doors. Will they hire illegals to build this barrier..? All of these questions as developments from 17 investigations start dropping every other day.

  15044. What is the benefit of faking high poll numbers? What's the strategy? Whether you think Hillary's high poll numbers in 2016 were fake or not, they HURT her chances. High poll numbers had folks not voting because they thought she couldn't lose. By the same token, LOW poll numbers help turnout. You gotta show up for the team when they need you. In a horse race, where there's money involved, one might want to DEFLATE the odds so the payoff is bigger when the longshot wins. Now, if it's a POPULARITY contest, that's different. False positives might make people just want to be on the winning side. That's a bad way to choose your leaders. Do you vote based on popularity? But voting is PRIVATE. You're not betting on a football game, and even in football, people tend to bet on the team they believe in. If you vote just to be on the winning side, please don't vote. Now, say you're an independent polling company, or take polls for CNN. Those companies and news outlets COMPETE for ACCURACY. They don't work for the "deep state." They're not slaves of the DNC. They work for SPONSORS. They're slaves of MONEY. In a cost/benefit analysis, it makes sense to be as accurate as possible than to fudge the numbers at the expense of being the OUTLIER, and being seen as untrustworthy. Untrusted news outlets get fewer viewers, and fewer SPONSORS. That means MONEY. Speed and accuracy are what the media COMPETE for. It's why they're always going on about being "trusted" and being "first with breaking news." When people say, "You can't trust corporate media," and also say, "Media is with the Socialist Democrats," they obviously don't see that those two things contradict each other. Capitalism thrives on competition. Maybe I'm missing something. So, please, tell me how a fake poll helps a candidate.

  15049. Kristopher Roth - NONE of those are lies, and most are not even inaccuracies. Do you not know the difference between a reporter on the news claiming something and someone going on the news and lying? "Russia collusion"? What? There were hundreds of stories about that whole scandal, and they were almost all accurate. That is the dumbest claim. "They lied about Russia collusion". Like the news media knew the truth that even investigators didn't know, and said otherwise. It makes no sense. And Trump DID COLLUDE WITH THE RUSSIANS. He wasn't charged with the crime of conspiracy. His people met with them in New York. 16 of his people lied about 140 denied contacts. So, if someone is found not guilty in a trial, anything reported about that trial was a lie by the media after the fact?? Does that make any sense to you?
    1
  15050. Kristopher Roth - So Avenatti lying on the news is the news lying? "Reality, he turned out to be a criminal"? What kind of bullshit logic is that? Okay, do you know how many Trump defenders went on TV, made claims, then got indicted?
    1
  15051. Ah, the Covington kid. That's the only one most of you people can ever come up with that is even close to a lie, but it isn't. It was POSSIBLY a mischaracterization, not a lie, and that's being charitable and assuming we can believe what the kid said. So, that ONE bit of possibly inaccurate reporting justifies insisting CNN lies all the time? You people were saying that long before the Covington incident. Anything since? You're being ridiculous, especially in defense of a president who literally lies twice as often as most people pee. Does that not bother you?
    1
  15052. Kristopher Roth - MSM did NOT claim that Clinton did not destroy phones and emails. The FBI TOLD her to destroy the phones as a security measure. She was ALLOWED to delete emails she deemed personal...The Horrowitz report said that the COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROBE was not predicated on the dossier, not the Carter Page warrant...

  15053. Kristopher Roth...So, you can't name one lie, and like I said, sometimes there is inaccurate reporting. All those networks, 24 hour news, hundreds, if not thousands of journalists, yeah, mistakes will be made. Donald Trump tells deliberate lies constantly. Does THAT bother you? Oh, no, shoot the messenger, right? Everyone is lying but him, huh? SMH.

  15055. michael hammond - An election poll doesn't say anyone will win. It's a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there's a 70% chance of snow, it means there's a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it? - Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. It's nonsense to say pollsters faked it to help her. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People, (especially illegals), don't like to vote. It's a hassle. And with the electoral college, folks tend to think their individual vote counts even less. If anything, Clinton's high poll numbers kept people home on election day. - The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. That there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that Russian interference affected the outcome. - If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the "real" numbers were? Do you think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? How many points? Even independent pollsters whose existence depends on a record of accuracy? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers. - Donald Trump actually did pay for fake online polls. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally. - Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side?

  15061. Stop being paranoid about liberals repealing the 2nd Amendment. There is 20% support for that. That's marginal. It will never happen. And if you think the government would also repeal the 4th Amendment to physically confiscate people's guns rather than just ban the manufacture and sale of them (which, again, won't happen), your paranoia is clinical. We just want dangerous products regulated - like cars. Is it too much to ask to strengthen background checks and require licensing? I took a gun safety course as a kid. It was fun. We got to go shoot skeets and targets. And I used to sell guns. Most buyers seemed like responsible people, but the black, dressed-up, military-looking "ARs" definitely tended to attract a different type.

    1
  15068. Tom Jones A mis-characterisation of a single detail in one of many reports filed by a 24 hour news channel is not proof of a lie. It's not even proof that the reporter made a mistake. Ever consider that's what the source told him? It is certainly not evidence that the entire mainstream press is lying all the time. It is ABSURD to assert that it is when defending a president who LIES CONSTANTLY. When Trump first took office, he told the press corp that if THEY expected HIM to get "every little fact right", he would just stop having daily press conferences. I bet you FOX News, Trump sycophants don't remember that, do you?

  15069. A case against the wall - What a first world problem - Trouble keeping out those who want to roof our houses and clean our motel rooms - for cheap. It's because of our wealth. It's like Rumsfeld's term - "catastrophic success", except it's not a bullshit excuse for poor war planning. - In Israel, there's a MUCH SMALLER wall because they're beset on all sides by terrorists who want to kill Jews. We only have two political borders. The 9/11 terrorists came in legally. They boarded planes and bought box cutters legally. Geography has been good to the US. - Spanish women are hot. If you were a bouncer at a club, you'd let them in, right? - In Europe, you can't go a few hundred miles without being somewhere the locals speak another language. Spanish is pretty close to English, which is rooted in Latin. The US isn't on the metric system because we have the size, geography, and power to say, "Screw that. We're not changing all of those road signs". Again, "catastrophic success", but this isn't a catastrophe or a national emergency. I'd like to keep ALLIES on our borders...But keep an eye on those shady Canadians. (Seriously. Putin is building military bases up North, and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house in Alaska). - Currently, we have net negative immigration. More are going than coming, so good luck to Trump trying to prove we have a "national emergency". It's a busy border. It always has been, and always will be. People cross over in the morning, then cross BACK over at night. Is Trump going to SUBTRACT that lost commerce when he touts the "success" of his wall/slats/fence thing? - To the xenophobes and fundamentalist Christians - Earth isn't 6000 years old. It's settled science. Think on a larger scale. Interbreeding is good. It breeds-out diseases. It opens the mind. That wall in Israel will eventually be torn apart by tectonic plates that don't care what you call "holy land". The human race rose long after the dinosaurs died - in Africa. Yes, we're all part black. Global warming is also settled science, so darker skin just might help the species survive. - Don't make Carlos Santana not want to play here anymore. - Legal weed should be part of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They spray that crumbly, brown shit with pesticides that even Trump won't de-regulate. The "sin tax" on weed, paid by grateful potheads, would pay for his wall faster than anything we could skim from the USMCA. - "It's no fun being an illegal alien" - If you don't hire them, they won't come. If the government was serious about keeping "them" out, it would crack-down on the employers. Why don't they? (Money and special interests). - Despite FOX News talking points, most illegals don't sneak in carrying cocaine, bombs, and trafficked children. Those are smuggled in boats and planes. El Chapo had his own submarine. FOX News is fear-mongering when they say Dems want open borders...I mean, open boarders...Trump has distorted the facts so much, I forget how it's really spelled. Do FACTS matter anymore?!?! - DACA. Trump likes to say immigration should be based on merit. What the hell does he think DACA is? Oh, yeah, he doesn't read. - Can Donald Trump at least explain what this wall will be made of and how Mexico will pay for it? Go into a bank and try to get a loan based on, "Because I need it NOW. No, I don't really have a plan, but 'believe me'. I'll pay you back".

  15074. For these protests to work, you need to get through to white people. Not white hyper-racists. You can't change them. I mean those who DON'T KNOW THEY'RE RACIST. They don't listen when you say "Black Lives Matter." They don't hear, "black lives matter, TOO." They hear, "black," and think you're calling them racist. They think, "I'M not racist! YOU'RE racist! What about white lives?" Attacking what a white Southerner PERCEIVES as Southern heritage will only send him into the arms of Trump and Hannity. You have to get past their defenses. They have to identify with you. Yes, police brutalize blacks much more than whites, but a better way to approach it is to make them understand that whites are brutalized, too. Focus on the brutality, regardless of race. I DON'T mean ignore racial anti-bias training, but it doesn't help to overemphasize it. We should demand an immediate end to police brutality, but demanding an immediate end to all racism is futile and SELF-DEFEATING. BLM is bad at messaging. Drop the B in BLM. Those who know what it means don't need to be told, and those who don't won't listen. It's been shown that talking about "climate change" makes the deniers tune out. It's become a symbolic term in a culture war. But when you call it "pollution," more people listen. Same concept here.

  15075.  @laichanderson5937  Of course he's been "called out" for his "bias". So? Any accusation is true? Jeez, that's the most nonsensical statement I've read on here. By "you people", I mean people like YOU who play gotcha with that Covington kid thing as if it is anywhere even close to justifying your accusations of constant lying by the media. Usually, it's in defense of Trump, an habitual liar. The reason so many people name that particular possible mischaracterization is because it's all they can come up with, and they were accusing tje media of constant lying long before that incident. You people are SO transpatantly ridiculous.

  15076.  @laichanderson5937  This is not rocket science. You folks can only list one because it simply isn't true that they lie all the time. It's the best you can come up with, and a mischarctetization is not a willing mis-statement of fact. You can list more? Okay, SO LIST THEM. None of you ever can! Yet, you keep insisting that they lie. PROOF. Jeez, you are NOT making your case. Ask ten people to list one Donald Trump lie, and you'll get ten different answers - all REAL LIES. Deliberate lies. And it is ABSURD to defend an HABITUAL LIAR like Trump by saying the media are lying about him. If you aren't defending him...hell, at this point, you are if you'll continue to parrot that "CNN lies" line, because it has now entered the public sphere as a defese of Donald Trump. Pure hypocrisy.

  15078. America is 64% vaccinated with at least one dose. That's as good as it's gonna get. Most who've had one dose will get the second. Most of the other 36% won't even get the first. It's no coincidence that 36% is also the steady MAGA percentage. COVID was so politicized, I'd bet a dime to a bottle of worm spit that most who refuse the vaccine are MAGA folk. I predict COVID won't go away entirely. The MAGA crowd will keep it around enough to mutate into more stubborn strains. It won't be as bad, but bad enough to cause a large number of cases, still much worse than the flu, into the winter. Data will show most of those infected will be MAGA morons. There may be surges in some areas where the CDC will recommend wearing masks again. I'm vaccinated, but I wouldn't mind wearing one again, only to hide my laughter at the fools. We can't segregate into blue and red states or create Magastan, wall it off, (unlike Mexico, I'd gladly help pay for it), and let their fantasy utopia fail without them being able to blame liberals. But COVID is one area where we'll be separate. It won't affect us as long as they don't raise health insurance premiums on those who got vaccinated. (Hey MAGAtards, you have us who wore masks and got shots to thank for there not being 2.2 million deaths and the economy and health care systems not completely crashing, you selfish, anti-social, paranoid freaks).

  15082. The only way the MAGA crowd will realize what kind of dangerous buffoon it elected will be if Hollywood makes a movie. It should be a dark comedy, maybe by the Cohen brothers or Tarantino. Oliver Stone has already lost his mind. They need 2 hours of fact-is-crazier-than-fiction to describe what's been going on for the past 4 years. Change the names, but not the events or the quotes. Real news footage, even though they'll call it "fake". Anyone see the old episode of The Simpsons, where Trump was President in a dystopian future for 7 minutes? They tried to warn us. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight in a feature-length film..? (I was thinking about a line in Dogma, where Alan Rickman's character says something like, "You Americans. If it's not in a movie, it's not worth knowing, now is it?") For three years, I've been waiting for Obama to publish his memoirs to show some contrast to the buffoon. Now we know they're coming out in November. A little late, Barack. But it doesn't surprise me, because true to form, Obama is deliberate, careful, and self critical. True to form, Donald Trump is a bull in a china shop who only thinks about himself, but is incapable of being self-critical.

Just because he doesn't want these guys convicted shouldn't matter.

In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help - the very thing that got him in trouble from the start of his presidency? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that? Why did he finally release the aid without Ukraine doing the investigations? Why would he trust Ukraine to investigate its own alleged election meddling from 2016? Why would Ukraine leak the DNC emails if they were trying to help Clinton win?

They point out that a dismal 8% of blacks support Trump as opposed to the 46% that voted for him, and that moron says, "Is that the same poll that said Hillary would win?" Really? What does he think the "REAL" percentage is? 25%? 45%? 12%? Sure, every pollster that asked that question got together and faked it down to 8%. Sure. I swear, I will never understand how fucking stupid people can be.

It is a percent chance of an outcome. It's absurd! Think lottery. Think weather report. Think horse racing. It's called a long shot! And those polls WERE ACCURATE! First of all, the numbers reflect the popular vote, which Clinton won. Second, they were within the margin of error. Third, ALL POLLS - CNN, FOX, Gallup... ALL were roughly the same. Do people really think ALL of these polls putting Trump around 37% are off by, what, 30 points?!?! Fourth, do any of you Trump fools think maybe the fact Trump won despite the odds may be an indicator of Russian involvement? Morons!

  15092. ... And fifth, what even would be the POINT of faking a poll? To look inaccurate in the end? Do you people think people just want to be on the winning side so much they will only vote for the most popular candidate? It doesn't make sense! And wouldn't CNN, if they were faking it, want to LOWER the number so people wouldn't think it was already a lock and NOT VOTE? Trump defenders have no common sense!

There are obviously two genders, but a small, yet significant number of people want to live as the other one. Those people deserve the same civil rights, so it becomes a little socially complicated. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SCIENCE. By and large, liberal Democrats are willing to address the issue while Republicans want to sweep it under the rug.

  15118. Dude - Put what Lewis said in 08 aside for a moment. You went on to cite a biased organization, the Federalists, for ITS OWN criticism of "fake news", as you proceeded to conflate opinion with actual quotes from Democrats painting McCain as a warmonger. There's a lot of projection and hypocrisy coming from the right lately on the subject of bias and hypocrisy. A lot of stones coming from glass houses. A lot of mountains being made from mole hills as they minimize their own mountains into mole hills. I was impressed that you could cite the words of at least ONE Democrat, John Lewis. Most people can't even do that. That said, one statement by one Dem 11 years ago far from justifies saying the party has been labeling McCAIN, (not ALL REPUBLICANS), as a war monger. In an apples to apples comparison of Republicans and Dems, there's no compare, especially when you include the past 3 years of Trump Republicans labeling Dems as un-American "Socialist/Communists" who "hate their country" and want to turn it into some fascist, leftist hell. It's undeniable that the POTUS, the guy at the top, has been using cringeworthy, racist, xenophobic rhetoric. Most in his party have been silent. Many have espoused it. Steve King and Jeff Sessions come to mind. Biden used a poor choice of words in saying they want to put blacks back in chains, but when you look at the reversion toward 20th century Nationalism and flat-out bigotry that's been coming from Republicans recently, you should see why Biden felt compelled to sound the alarm. This isn't "crying wolf". These are warnings. We're a hell of a lot closer to devolving into a Nazi-style, racist dystopia than turning into some Venezuelan/USSR-style failed state. Dems simply have NOT been labeling all Republican candidates as Nazis or "David Duke lovers". That's YOUR bias. It's become a right-wing talking point. The fact that you'd cite anything with "fake news" in the title shows that. But my comment was about John McCain. Like I said, I'm impressed you came up with one valid example, and impressed that you didn't conflate Democrats, liberals, and media. That's better than all of those "MSM lies" parrots who say they lie a thousand times a day, but can't cite even one actual lie.

  15119. Dude - Oh, wait, damn. I must have gotten confused and thought you were NOT accusing the press, but the DEMS for trashing McCain before admiring him.

REPUBLICANS DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOU! This is BS trickle-down theory. I have been a lifelong Democratic voter, and I must give props to Tennessee Republican Senator, Bob Corker. His ideas about "triggers" make him one of the few Republican lawmakers who I have heard PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS.

He used to phone call-in shows pretending to be someone else. He is a known habitual liar. So, you CNN bashers are just incredibly stupid.

It's not a crime, but obviously, you'd have to oust that President. I think, maybe, the framers meant, by "misdemeanor", things not necessarily crimes, but unacceptable for an elected official. Anyone know? (Left myself wide open for Trump troll attack, didn't I?)

Even with the tele-prompter, I don't think most comics could do that in a hundred takes. I really thought it would be the comedians who would wind up putting Trump in check because they have a way of getting around the political bias of the audience by using common sense. But Trump even turned his base against Hollywood by branding them as liberal political activists. What didn't surprise me, though, was that Trump started trashing SNL - a New York based show he had hosted a few times. I'm a big Bill Maher fan, and I thought that if it wouldn't have been beneath him, he would have made a great candidate to run against Trump. Apparently, the right hates political correctness, and so does Bill Maher. They obviously wanted an entertainer. Maher actually comes up with fresh material. Trump is a one-trick pony. But the whole "Trump, orange orangutan" thing (search that on Youtube if you haven't heard about it) was a brilliant rebuke of the whole "birther" thing. Notice that Trump didn't go after Bill Maher very much after that. Trump thought twice about trying to bully and humiliate him after that.

First off, I never said anything about policies for governing urban areas. You just randomly spouted that talking point. Your whole premise is ridiculous and grossly oversimplified. Where are you even getting black people from? There is always more crime in the city as opposed to rural areas, obviously because there are more people in cities living in more dense populations. The average income for city dwellers is lower. Who DOESN'T know that? What does that have to do with politics? There is obviously no one, simple answer to the cause of urban crime. And we're talking about a LOT if cities and towns run by both Dems and Republicans. Furthermore, there are no "Democrat cities" or Republican cities." There are cities with Dem Mayors in states with Republican Governors. There are state laws, city laws, federal laws, county laws...You have state Senators, US Senators, Congressmen, Aldermen, Governors...and they CHANGE ALL THE TIME. Do you think cities that have existed for a hundred years become the way they are as soon as a Democrat or a Republican becomes Mayor? WHAT city are you talking about? WHAT laws? WHAT crimes? WHAT economic policies? The premise if your question is absolutely ridiculous.

Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Roger Stone bragged about ties to the hackers and the disseminators of the stolen material.

Trump loaded the gun, shot, and supposedly missed...but the target still wound up dead. (The dirt on Clinton got out). It's like a bad episode of CSI. Trump said, "I think anyone would have taken that [Trump Tower] meeting". Wrong. It isn't normal to enlist foreign help in a campaign. It's illegal. The FBI warns EVERY candidate about foreign infiltration. Trump's people did not report those Russian efforts to the FBI.

  15156.  Black Magic  Undeniably, there was collusion, which isn't a crime. It's simply COOPERATION. Think of it like this - If the crime was murder by gunshot, collusion is loading the gun.

  15157. Are Republicans actually implicitly saying that someone can go commit crimes, then run for President, and they'll shield them from the law while helping them win the White House?? And speaking of ridiculous Republican logical fallacies, are they ostensibly saying that any VP can steal a second term for themselves and their bosses by simply insisting, without proof, that they were cheated? So...there are...no more four-year terms? So, Dan Quayle, HW Bush and Al Gore just... didn't think about that?? Are they asserting that also gives them the right to summon a riot at the Capitol as long as they insist they really believed they were cheated??

At worst, he stole an election with the help of a foreign enemy. At best, he barely won that election, then started governing as if anyone who didn't vote for him is an enemy whose opinion isn't worth a shit. Trump cultists say we don't understand THEM? It's sad how they don't understand why Presidents usually govern from the center once they're elected. It's sad that they think people in "blue states" live so differently from those in "red states". I'm an old, native New Yorker who was raised in Nashville. I've lived on Long Island and in upstate New York. I've lived in Kentucky and Indiana. I'm a middle class, state college dropout. I know what I'm talking about. It's sad that Trump cultists don't. It's scary to see how easily they can be manipulated by a rich, stupid conman who was conned, himself, by a richer, smarter conman who was trained in the "Art of the Con" by the KGB. It's why we "libturds" compare them to cult members. While they're straining their brains to come up with juvenile nicknames, they're not paying attention to what's actually happening. They're too dumb to realize that dumbass Trump saying, "I love the poorly educated" is an insult to them. Who'da thunk it? A rich, city boy from New York became the champion of middle-America.

  15176. There are many ways to slow the flow of illegal immigrants. Why are they coming here, and why are they crossing that way? The vast majority do it for work. Why? Because 1)- They come from poor countries with few opportunities. 2)- Because we illegally hire them. How about helping the Mexican economy, and not try to break it further with a trade war? "Mexico is taking advantage" won't fly. The US is the world's richest country. The perception will always be that the US is greedy, whether true or not. We should do BARRIERS piece by piece. What if we help develop PIECES of Northern Mexico. Cater to rich, Mexican elites. How about gated communities along the Mexican side? THEY pay for the barrier, because the rich hire private security to stop people from going through their neighborhoods. They don't want to live in the desert? Vegas was built in the desert. Trump (falsely) claims drugs are the problem. How about legalizing pot on the federal level? --1)- It has majority public support. --2)- "Sin" tax revenue. Grateful pot heads will pay it. Who wants that crumbly, brown, Mex crap? They spray it with toxic pesticides that we outlaw here. (Unless Trump's deregulation has made it legal now). The best stuff comes from Northern California. --3)- I'm a firm believer that legalized weed will help America's alcoholism problem. You drink a little, you smoke, you chill, sleep, get up, and go to work. Without weed, you drink, you drink more, drink too much, call in sick, or show up acting like a hung-over asshole. Maybe that's just my experience, but it's a scientific fact that alcohol disturbs sleep patterns, while weed helps sleep. It's also a fact that excess alcohol consumption costs us money in lost productivity. It's not the biggest money drug coming over the border, not every drinker likes it, but like I said, piece by piece. We need COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform. That means re-evaluating the war on drugs, (that pot thing I mentioned included), an efficient path to citizenship, Merit based programs like DACA, and, yes, physical barriers. We approach this with an attitude of BLAME, and only look at the DEMAND side. We aren't blameless. WE hire illegals, (so does the Trump), WE DEMAND drugs. If Trump wants to say they're selling kids here, that means there is a DEMAND here. Demonizing the word, "amnesty" is just foolish. Limited amnesties work. National security? Those are our AMIGOS. The small wall in Israel is there to stop terrorists, not day laborers. This is a nation of immigrants. Something would be wrong if we DIDN'T resist the idea of an arguably xenophobic President, with no prior political experience, trying to erect a monument to bigotry. Trump acts like the southern border is a war zone...and he ignores statistics: --1)- We have net NEGATIVE immigration. They work, send money home, then go home. Sometimes they don't, but we should empathize with people who start out with a career plan that doesn't always work out. --2)- 58% oppose a wall, and 66% oppose a shutdown over it. --3)- Most drugs come through legal points of entry. It's a FACT backed by common sense. Know how much a pound of weed weighs? A pound. A kilo of coke weighs a kilo. That's a lot of coke, but also a lot of money. If it was your coke, would you send it across with some poor mule you can't track? --4)- Human trafficking? Sure, it happens sometimes, but would you smuggle a "product" from a lawless state to a more lawful one? Would you deal drugs in front of the police station? Bigger money here? Again, the big money items don't come in that way. They come through legal points of entry. --5)- It would take YEARS to build a long wall. It's a pretty bad way to deal with a "national emergency". --6)- Trump, Neilson, and Pence have LIED about the terrorism statistics. They don't come in that way. Even the 911 hijackers entered with legal visas. --7)- Seeking asylum is LEGAL, and we only let in a small percentage. --8)- The crime rate, (besides the crime of crossing illegally), is lower for illegal immigrants. It only makes sense. They have more to lose getting busted. --9)- The caravans have been doing that for years, every year, to bring awareness to their cause. Trump is a fear-mongerer, plain and simple. I'm wondering if he is doing it because it's his vanity project, or if someone is waiting for a big, juicy, no-bid contract. If you want to trust, fine, but verify. Trump has a history of lying and not thinking things through.

  15177. So, let me get this straight. It's summer, 2016. Clinton and Trump win their primaries. Clinton is heavily favored to win the general election. So, she goes to the head of the CIA and says, "I need you to start fabricating intelligence documents and intercepts so that, in case I lose, we can stick it to Trump". James Clapper says, "Sure. Why not". Then, Clinton and Clapper go to the FBI, the DNI, DHS, The White House, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and about a dozen other intelligence services and asks them to do the same - fabricate evidence, documents, intercepts, etc., and they all say, "Sure". They go to Facebook and Twitter, and have them cook their books to make it look like Russians paid for ads. Hundreds, if not thousands of people get in on this conspiracy, and they're all cool about it. Nobody informs. Nobody gets caught. ?????

  15180. - If you think a jetliner fully fueled for a cross-country flight crashing into a building can't burn hot enough to melt steel, you're wrong. It didn't melt the whole beams, anyway. It bent the beams, and the connection points snapped. Watch PBS, "Why the Towers Fell". It goes into graphic detail. - Yes, a guy in a cave could easily plan that attack. It was cleverly simple. They used box cutters, legal visas, and false bomb threats. The hijackers were already on US intelligence radar. They never surfaced again afterwards because they were dead. - It is naive to think anyone could sneak-in and install the massive amount of explosives it would take to bring down the towers. I'm from New York. I've been to the top of the WTC, and I went to ground zero in 2002. There was damage, high up, to a building across the street due to the flying debris. Do you all have any idea how huge those towers were? You could not appreciate their size from pictures or TV. Where do you think they planted these explosives (that had to be wired together)? In the closets? Behind doors? Sure. "Cable guy. Just here to replace the coaxial"! The WTC was bombed in 1993. Think security wouldn't notice? Nobody would get suspicious? The sheer amount of C4, or whatever, would have raised red flags. You can't just go buy massive amounts of bomb making material at Wal-Mart. Military weapons have to be accounted for. Not to mention the cost - money that would have to come from somewhere and be laundered. Do you know how many people would have to be contracted just to wire the place? Someone would have had to set them off at the right times. Just those people alone - never mind for the whole operation - were all approached, and ALL agreed to be in on such a despicable plan, and none of them informed the FBI? - Building 7 caught fire. They let it burn because it was empty of people and every single resource had to be used to try to save the lives of those in the Twin Towers. Manhattan is an island of concrete. It was shaken to the core, and it's amazing that more buildings didn't crumble. "But the reporter said it had fallen before it did". Why the hell would the conspirators tell the news about it? The news. You know, people who live to expose things. Okay, add the people at that news outlet to those who didn't mind letting their own country be attacked by its own government. - For those who think the Pentagon was hit by a missile - The military attacked its own headquarters? Many witnesses saw the plane hit, despite the idiotic theories about the security camera footage, which, btw, took pictures in frames. Add the military to the list of people evil enough to commit mass murder on its own people. It isn't like one commander can just sneak into a room, push a few buttons, and viola, send missiles wherever they want! Why use planes, (or explosives) on two targets, then use a missile on another? Why do it at all? Wouldn't that be overkill? "Gee, I'm not sure destroying the Twin Towers would be enough of an excuse to start a war in the Middle East. Better hit the Pentagon (of all targets), and building 7". Seriously? And not to mention... -... The planes. But I'm sure two airlines were in on it, too, and didn't mind destroying/hiding 4 aircraft for that, right? Add officials at those airlines to the list of willing participants who were sure to keep their mouths shut. The plane that went down in Pennsylvania was headed to the Capitol or the White House, right? Again, of all the targets, they needed to destroy their own most important buildings to really sell a war in the Middle East to the public? Really? - Bin Laden admitted doing it! So did Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Bin Laden said he did it because of Palestine and sanctions on Iraq. It was later revealed that his plan was to goad the US into a war in Afghanistan. BTW, I read the 9/11 Commission report, cover to cover. Read it, and notice it makes a lot more sense than these absurdly complicated, expensive, and risky conspiracy theories. - For those who think there were no planes, or only two or three - think records. Flight records. Death records. Funerals. Air traffic control logs. Each passenger's friends, family, and loved ones' phone records and documents about plans for all of those trips. - Agencies involved in the planning and the "cover up". Agencies involved in the investigation - the FBI, CIA, EPA, local police, fire and rescue, lawyers involved in lawsuits against the airlines and the government, victims who formed groups to do their own investigations, the military and military intelligence. Do you folks have any idea how many documents across how many organizations would have to be forged? How many false alibies? How much money and money laundering? The sheer number of people who would have to participate in such an act of mass murder of their own fellow citizens and country, and nobody talked!? - And you folks think this was done for those no-bid Halliburton contracts in Iraq!? BTW, the lion's share of the benefits went to Halliburton! What would have been in it for all of those conspirators? Does the phrase, "unnecessarily complicated" mean anything to you folks? It would only have taken a truck or boat bomb like Al Qaeda had already used in Kenya, Tanzania, and on the USS Cole. A single false flag bombing of an embassy overseas. After the previous attacks, after Al Qaeda had declared war on the US in 1997, Bush and Cheney would have sent troops into Afghanistan and Iraq just the same! For the record, I think Cheney was a total war profiteer for Haliburton, and kind of an evil guy, but not THAT evil! Wouldn't it have made more sense, if a single, much smaller false flag bombing wasn't enough, for these government conspirators to simply recruit Al Qaeda to do exactly what they did do - hijack planes and crash them into buildings?!? Without the literally hundreds, if not thousands of people who could inform, the money, the forgeries, and all of the potential evidence left all over the place - in Manhattan, Washington, on computers, in file cabinets, eyewitness accounts... Think, McFly!!! - You conspiracy theorists have it backwards. You start with little details you can't make sense out of and use those details to justify a preconceived conclusion. That's not the way to find the truth. There are evil people out there who really conspire to do evil things. But if you have such little faith in humanity that you think that many people would be willing to do something that horrible, I feel sorry for you. Conspiracies happen, but they involve a lot fewer people and a lot less detail. Put those skeptical minds on a conspiracy that actually makes sense, like the Kennedy assassination or Trump/Russia.

  15181.  @justincase3320  What the hell are you talking about? First of all, the server itself was not illegal. That doesn't make any sense. Obama was never subpoenaed. Clinton testified MANY TIMES, and never instructed anyone, much less, EVERYONE around her to ignore subpoenas. She was allowed to delete her personal emails. But let's say she wasn't - You're saying because Hillary broke the law, Trump gets to break it, too? He gets to tell everyone to break the law? How does your reply even refute my comment? Yes, exactly, Hillary was rich and powerful. Regular folk can't get away with it. SO YOU PROVED MY POINT. Duuh.

  15182.  @justincase3320  Actually, the FBI told her to smash the cell phones as per security protocol. Trump has breached security a lot more than Hillary did with her 7 year old emails, none of which leaked into the wrong hands. Comey did not exonerate her. He broke the rules and commented on her crime while she was not indicted, and it probably cist her the election. She was allowed to delete emails that were personal.

  15184. On June 7, 2016, Don Jr. set up the infamous 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." It's noteworthy to add that both Steve Bannon and Michael Cohen say Trump knew. Is that cause for suspicion? ----- Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi "predicted", with astounding accuracy, that Wikileaks was to release hacked DNC emails "later in the summer". (Don Jr. had told the Russians that if it was what he thought it was, he'd "love it", especially later in the summer). Stone said he had communicated with both Assange and Guccifer 2.0. Now, Stone and Corsi are contradicting each other. Suspicious? ----- At the RNC convention, attended by Russian Ambassador/spy, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer requested one change in the RNC platform - to end material support for the Ukrainian resistance against Russia. He says he was told to request this by senior campaign members. Both candidate Trump and chairman, Paul Manafort, deny having anything to do with it. Really? Some other "senior" member did that without the approval of the candidate or the chairman? Is there reason to be suspicious yet? These are only a few of MANY things that raise eyebrows about what these people knew and when they knew it.

  15188. America is 64% vaccinated with at least one dose. That's as good as it's gonna get. Most who've had one dose will get the second. Most of the other 36% won't even get the first. It's no coincidence that 36% is also the steady MAGA percentage. COVID was so politicized, I'd bet a dime to a bottle of worm spit that most who refuse the vaccine are MAGA folk. I predict COVID won't go away entirely. The MAGA crowd will keep it around enough to mutate into more stubborn strains. It won't be as bad, but bad enough to cause a large number of cases, still much worse than the flu, into the winter. Data will show most of those infected will be MAGA morons. There may be surges in some areas where the CDC will recommend wearing masks again. I'm vaccinated, but I wouldn't mind wearing one again, only to hide my laughter at the fools. We can't segregate into blue and red states or create Magastan, wall it off, (unlike Mexico, I'd gladly help pay for it), and let their fantasy utopia fail without them being able to blame liberals. But COVID is one area where we'll be separate. It won't affect us as long as they don't raise health insurance premiums on those who got vaccinated. (Hey MAGAtards, you have us who wore masks and got shots to thank for there not being 2.2 million deaths and the economy and health care systems not completely crashing, you selfish, anti-social, paranoid freaks).

Remember when Bush got into trouble for saying "Bring 'em on" in reference to terrorists? He was just exercising free speech, right? The last thing Democrats, especially Biden, wanted to be doing in the first weeks of the new administration was to be impeaching the guy they finally got rid of. It wasn't good for Dems politically. Ethics and accountability dictated that they had to impeach him. If Republicans had any ethics or desire for accountability, they wouldn't be making that stupid argument that Dems love to hate him so much that they can't let him go.

Biden, as well as allied governments and the IMF, wanted that prosecutor removed because the prosecutor had NOT been fighting corruption. The probe into the COMPANY Hunter Biden worked for, not into him, was closed before Joe Biden ever pushed to have the prosecutor fired. ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDgPZ1stAA

  15211. Do you think Trump is working some anti-corruption program, and started with his chief political rival? In Ukraine? And ONLY Biden? Where there is not one shred of evidence of corruption? In a matter twice removed from Joe Biden? That was ALREADY investigated? Involving foreign election help, you know, the biggest thing that has kept him in trouble from the start? If he wanted to fight corruption, why would Trump fire the ambassador to Ukraine who made a career of doing just that?

  15212. Trump is doing the very same thing in Ukraine he is accusing Biden of, so do you want to call it legal or illegal? Right or wrong? Either Biden is innocent or Trump is also guilty. Which do you prefer? You can't have it both ways. https://www.apnews.com/d7440cffba4940f5b85cd3dfa3500fb2

  15222. tuberobotto - So? What does that have to do with anything I said? I was talking about him questioning Obama's income as if he Obama did something nefarious, when it's standard for a former president. By the way, Trump lies about his net worth, and he won't show his tax returns. He donates his salary to charity, yes, but it costs the treasury MORE because they pay it, then he gets the tax write-off. It's good that it goes to charity, but his charity was shut down for a "shocking pattern of illegality". Think about that. The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES committed charity fraud, and once used his sham charity's funds to "donate" to a Florida AG who made a lawsuit of his sham university go away. Then, she got a cushy federal job. Wake up. He is a CROOK. If Obama had that kind of record, what would you think?

  15227. Social programs ARE socialism. Canada, France, the US, and half of Europe have socialist elements. Cuba is not France is not China. And China has been very successful. 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.

  15232. There's nothing wrong with putting America first or deporting illegals with deportation orders. It IS wrong to be a xenophobic racist, to lump asylum seekers in with illegals, and to treat human beings, especially children, with cruelty. Many conservatives AND liberals range from racially insensitive to downright racist, but you can't deny that the racial hate groups are all on the right. When we had a black Democrat president, lots of conservatives said that they couldn't speak their minds lest they be called racist. I do think some liberals go too far with that PC shit, but let's keep things in perspective. Many conservatives ARE bigots, and won't admit it. Bigots blame others for their problems. Obama wasn't just black, he was also a Democrat. Race and political affiliation - two "others" in one. Trump, a Republican, came along and told them, "You're not bigots. You're PATRIOTS". It's a technique that Hitler used. "Enemy of the people" is a phrase Stalin used to discredit the press. Discrediting the source and framing things as black or white are tactics used by those who don't have a sound argument. So many Trump followers basically say, "I'm not a bigot. I love America. Liberals hate America and want open borders". Nobody wants open borders, and politicians have been trying to fix immigration for decades. To blame Democrats, lie about the facts, and attack their patriotism is downright disrespectful. Yes, Trump denounced the Neo-Nazis after Charlottesville - barely, after his arm was twisted, and before he went right back to dog whistling to racists. The hate groups still say he supports them. It was just like when he tried to say that he meant he didn't see why it "wouldn't" have been Putin who attacked our election. Insincere bullshit. It's an insult to our intelligence. Yes, Rep. Omar said some insensitive things - a few times. She criticized the Israeli government, not the Jews. Does that give Trump a pass? Not to mention, he also directed that racist tweet at 3 other people. That tweet was wrong on so many levels. It's not just the racism. It's the immaturity, the disrespect, the sheer stupidity, and as always, the grammatical errors. It was so beneath what a US President should say. His followers no damn well that if it was Obama, they'd call for his resignation. And for someone who decries "fake news" all the time, Trump sure tries like hell to spread disinformation. These are DELIBERATE TACTICS. Everyone should see that by now.

Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out. They don't know each other and none of them know Joe." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

And males in general need to learn how to deal with their emotions when it comes to females. It's not just mass shootings and not just at school.

  15250. 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.

  15251. 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.

  15252.  @2paczghozt100  Yes it is cheating! It's colluding with a foreign power! Funny how Trump and his supporters called oppo research treason, and conspiracy oppo research. He has asked Russia, Ukraine and China to help him. He was impeached over this very thing. The Russia investigation led to the Trump campaign. This is simple, cut and dry stuff, but you people refuse to see it.

  15253.  @2paczghozt100  If Hillary had said, "Russia, if you're listening..," then asked Ukraine and China to investigate Trump, and insisted that soliciting foreign help was fair oppo research... If Hillary's daughter, son-in-law and campaign chairman had met with Russian government surrogates in Arkansas to trade dirt on Trump for sanction relief... If her campaign operative bragged about being in touch with Guccifer and Wikileaks, who hacked and disseminated RNC emails... If that operative was convicted of 7 felonies and she had commuted his sentence... If 16 of her staff had lied about 140 Russian contacts after insisting there had been none whatsoever... If the FBI and CIA had been watching the Russians, and that led them right to the Clinton campaign... If she had refused to release her tax returns and lied about the reason... If she had been pursuing a real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign, leaving Putin something with which to blackmail her... ...Would Trump supporters have been okay with that?

  15260.  @monkeyboy9896  ... Also, this whole idea that there's inflation because people have too much money to spend is ridiculous because the whole reason for the payments was that people were going broke. Republicans sure weren't worried about inflation when they passed those corporate tax cuts. Trump wanted to drop interest rates to nothing and even asked his advisors, "Why can't we just print more money?" Economically, I'll give Trump a little credit for not screwing up the good economy he inherited from the Obama years... until he let the economy go down the toilet because if his disgracefully poor handling of the pandemic.

  15265. Peter runs a gang and hates former Detective Kline because Kline was always trying to bust him. Then Kline decides to run for mayor against a guy named Travis. Peter's gang breaks into Kline's house, steals his computer, and gets caught. On Kline's computer are pics of him kissing a woman who isn't his wife. On Peter's phone are texts with 16 of Travis' campaign staff. Cops question Travis, who insists neither he, nor any of his staff have ever texted with Peter. Meanwhile, the pictures go viral online. Travis wins the election. Cops confront Travis' staff with the evidence. They first deny knowing Peter, but then admit to knowing him and discussing how to knock Kline out of the running. One staffer not only texted with Peter, but also with the burglars. Would the cops have reason to suspect Travis? To investigate him? Travis not only still insists that his staff are innocent of crimes, but that their ethics were acceptable, and that maybe Peter's gang didn't even commit the burglary. He suggests maybe Kline put those self-incriminating pictures online himself. Travis is investigated, but not charged. Does that make the cops criminals? In the next election, do you trust Travis, who insists he is the real victim? Who insists that kind of behavior is not only legal, but ethical - as long as it helps HIM?

  15266. Just like Trump, Mr. Technicality, always leaving just enough reasonable doubt - about his racist remarks. About admitting the Russians attacked the election... We let it go, but then HE KEEPS DOING IT over and over again! Once, even twice, might be his inability to articulate, (See, the topic is race, but nobody would question my use of the word as racist), but repeatedly? Coupled with his ACTIONS and obvious lack of SINCERITY? Trump sure was reluctant to condemn the neo-Nazis after Charlottesville. If it was me, nobody would have to tell me to write a tweet strongly saying, "Hate groups, I do not want your support or your vote!" I wouldn't sleep knowing those hate groups SAY THAT HE SUPPORTS THEM! And there would be no question in ANYONE'S MIND that I believed the Russians attacked our election. But there's Trump - AFTER HELSINKI - just days ago, tweeting, "... If it was Russia", and repeating that, "Could be China" bullshit. I call bullshit on him, and I call bullshit on this gubernatorial candidate. WE KNOW THEIR INTENTIONS!

The media is doing EXACTLY what they would do with ANY president who acts like him. He whines about SNL, for Christ's sake! He wants to be a rebel? To be different? Then what the fuck does he expect? 92% of his coverage is negative because 92% of what he does and says is negative! He's a "counter-puncher"? Give me a fucking break. He's just a "puncher". He only serves his base. That's polarizing, so over half the country isn't going to agree that the "good things" he does are actually good things. Just because he sees no need to be presidential (aka mature), doesn't mean the country doesn't need it. He's got some damn nerve bitching about the "dishonest" media. He's a proven habitual liar! Does he EVER specify what the media is actually "lying" about? Hell no! It never ceases to amaze me, not only what his base now considers acceptable in a leader, but also how HYPOCRITICAL his followers are! "What about Hillary?!" What about her? She isn't President, and EVERYTHING he accuses the Clintons of, he is accused of himself - to a much greater degree! Crooked charity? Check. Election fraud? Check. Security breaches? Check.

  15290.  Daniel Morse  "Technocrat opinion"? Those are FACTS. Your "evidence" has been debunked. If there was evidence, why didn't Trump present it in court? Reality. Try living in it.

  15291.  Daniel Morse  So, you audit of the machine, look at how a voter voted, and it says that one voter voted 1000 times?! Voting machines will only register one ballot per person. Jeez, that's common sense. They were HAND RECOUNTED, and 99% accurate. You folks are mind-numbingly irrational! Are you saying POLL WORKERS hatched this plan to stand there and keep feeding the same ballots in? At ALL of the battleground county polling sites? Poll workers? Right there on camera, in front of the observers?? Pure nonsense. I guess if Trump had overturned the results, Biden could then just say the same thing about Trump - that Republicans cheated, and just ignore the recounts and court rulings, right? What's the difference? Think, McFly.

Don - "He has more money than I do." Cop - "How much are you missing?" Don - "I don't know, but a lot, and enough to make me at least a dollar richer than him." Cop - "From where are you missing money?" Don - "My wallet, my bank account, my online account, under my mattress...Everywhere!" Cop - "Who had access to your bank account?" Don - "Bank employees." Cop - "Why would they risk their jobs and commit felonies just to give your money to Joe?" Don - "They like Joe more than me." Cop - "Who had access to your wallet?" Don - "Just me, but someone picked my pocket." Cop - "What makes you think that?" Don - "I feel like I should have more cash, and I felt something brush against my butt last week at the store." Cop - "Did you give anyone your online password?" Donald - "No, but hackers exist." Cop - "Who had access to your mattress?" Donald - "Nobody, but Twitter users say that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Cop - "Why would they think that?" Donald - "Because I tweeted that Joe is a bad guy who knows burglars." Later... Cop - "We got security footage from the store. Nobody picked your pocket." Donald - "But look at THAT guy. His hand is behind my butt." Cop - "He says he was reaching for a Kit Kat, and that's what it looks like." Donald - "But what about my bank account?" Cop - "It balanced. The computers don't even allow tellers to transfer funds that way, and half of them say they like you." Donald - "What about the bank manager? He never liked me." Cop - "We talked to him. He does like you, and he checks-out. To steal as much as you claim, he'd have to conspire with ten other bank managers where you have accounts. We talked to them, too. They all checked-out, and they don't even know each other." Don - "Well, what about..?" Cop - "...There's no evidence of a hack. In addition to our probe, the expert you hired to monitor your online activity said it's more secure than ever." Don - "I know. I fired his ass. How dare he give me good news! What about my mattress? The sheets were wrinkled." Cop - "Nothing suspicious. Maybe your wife wrinkled the sheets." Don - "She doesn't sleep with me." Cop - "Maybe your dog?" Don - "I hate dogs, and they hate me...Yeah, dogs hate me and they love Joe. I think a stray dog got into my house, fetched money from under my mattress, and gave it to Joe. That's why he has more money than me." Cop - "Maybe he just earns more than you...Look, we investigated thoroughly. We have neither a suspect nor evidence of a crime. You're clearly in denial. Ever consider stuff like this makes people hate you in the first place, and they might invest more in you if you'd stop being a crybaby and a dick?" Don - "Screw you. I'm taking this to 60 courts to claim theft. I gave some of those judges their jobs!" Later... Judge - "So, you're claiming someone stole your money?" Don - "No, your honor. I'm saying I'm suspicious. I'm a stable genius and a psycho...I mean psychic, so I should know." Judge - "What is your evidence?" Don - "My clownish lawyers, a drunk girl, a few real people, and a thousand imaginary people represented by these blank affidavits are suspicious, and they refuse to hear reasonable explanations." Judge - "Case dismissed." Don's next tweet - "joe & his FAKE people definitely stoal my money. That meens he stole YOU'RE money, too!!!!!!! Police COVERD UP bc they hate me!!! Go wreck, loot..." "...SMASH & KILL at 2pm tomorrow!!!! (peacefully) <-- See, I sed "peacefully", so you can't say I really wanted folks to WRECK, LOOT, SMASH & KILL, even though I do. covfefe!!!"

  15300. Say you're in the habit of carrying weed in your pocket, and you don't think it should be illegal. One day, you get caught, but the cop lets you off with a warning. If you continue to carry weed, and get caught again, only this time, you are arrested and charged, how much good would it do to complain to the judge that you don't agree with the law? Donald Trump is being just as ridiculous. He can insist he did nothing wrong by colluding with the Russians. He was not charged with conspiracy. But then, he does the SAME THING with the Ukrainians?

Do they want Republicans asking for more next year to finish it? Do they want to be blamed when fucko uses eminent domain to take peoples' houses? Screwing-up the environment? Letting Trump off the hook for saying Mexico would pay for it? Do they want to give Trump bragging rights? Shit, he probably won't be in office in 2020, or even six months from now.

  15309. When Trump says, "Mueller isn't looking at the other side", he shows how he fundamentally doesn't understand how things work. What "other side"? He is referring to Democrats - the "other side" in POLITICS. The other side in JUSTICE, in a potential case against him, is the Mueller team. Mueller is looking at what happened with Russia and the 2016 election IN GENERAL, whether it leads to the Trump campaign or not. He doesn't see that RUSSIA is on the other side of the US there. The US, you know, the country he is supposed to be defending! And why is he so sure Mueller is against him, anyway? Does it occur to him that Mueller could clear him? He clearly believes the report will be damning, so he is using the only defense he can - "witch hunt", even though he hasn't been charged with anything. At every turn, he does what a guilty person would do. It should bother everyone that he refuses to realize basic fundamentals, even after he has surely been advised of these things. Either he is incapable of understanding, or he doesn't care. Either way, he is incapable of doing his job.

  15326. That's what really gets me - Trump was elected by people who know NOTHING about how things work - The government, the press, law enforcement...

  15327. Crystal Giddens - And what has Trump actually done to take credit for the numbers? If you look at a graph from the past 10 years, it is easy to see that these are continuing trends. Even the stock market. But the stock market runs on speculation and consumer confidence, so it should be doing better. Why? Because Trump is gutting Wall Street regulations. THE ONES PUT IN PLACE TO PREVENT ANOTHER CRASH.

  15334. It is time to legalize marijuana on the federal level. Bernie Sanders said he would have done it by executive order. Joe Biden should pledge to do the same. - It would be lots of tax revenue that grateful potheads won't mind paying. Money going into the treasury instead of going into the Mexican black market. - We import tons of crappy weed from Mexico, where they spray it with pesticides banned in the US due to their toxicity. We could export some of the best buds in the world. - It would free up space in the prisons and jails, and free up resources in the police department. - Growers and retailers could put their money in the bank. - Work absenteeism costs billions a year. Marijuana is a great, natural sleep aid. When weed is accessible, drinkers drink less. They toke up and fall asleep instead of continuing to drink, staying up, and waking up hungover and sleep deprived. - Marijuana treats a variety of ailments such as cancer, migraines, and chronic stress. - The food industry, hard hit by COVID 19, would boom. - Weed makes dumb sitcoms funny. - Marijuana is perfectly legal in North Korea. Do we want to be less free and progressive than North Korea?

"They (the press) are the enemy of the people" - Trump, practically every day, and even AFTER a man was arrested after using that phrase to threaten a newspaper. 20 guns were found in his home. He has endorsed police brutality. He endorses violence against opponents at his rallies. Now, I know, as always, you Trumpers will argue about the technical, literal meanings of these comments. You people always seem to be switching between literal and figurative language - whichever is convenient - that he uses. But it's the MESSAGE that counts. You know, and HE DEFINITELY KNOWS, what he is trying to do with these messages. You know damn well how his fringe followers interpret his words.

It is beneath the office of the President to say things like that, especially from a president who has MANY racist statements and actions in his short history in office. Just like Charlottesville didn't call for debating the technicalities of whether or not Trump is a racist. THE HATE GROUPS PLAINLY STATED THAT TRUMP EMBOLDENS THEM AND SAY THEY HAVE HIS SUPPORT!! So, for all intents and purposes, he is a racist! We're talking about someone who went around telling that snake story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. And don't tell me that I'm an idiot because Islam isn't a race. It's bigotry. And he lied about saying it! Is that okay? Did he actually not say it, or he did and it's okay with you people?

But let me expell your diplomats anyway, because I think Mike Flynn might tell your Ambassador that he'll lift those sanctions." And Putin said, "Sure, and I don't mind if you smear my ambassador in the process." ARE YOU REALLY THAT DUMB??

Older people don't smoke Camel Crush Hunters don't use guns made to look like weapons of war. They use rifles and shotguns optimized for hunting. Those "ARs" are too weak for war and too powerful for the streets. There is no reason for a non-military rifle to hold that many rounds. They're for killing animals. Handguns are for killing people, but they're marketed and optimized for self-defense. There are SEVERAL causes for mass shootings, guns are definitely one of them, and one way we should address that issue is by going after the MARKETING.

  15359. 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.

  15360. Trump to Mexican president during Trump's first month in office: "I can't have you SAYING that you won't pay for a wall." He didn't actually expect them to pay. Trump to AG Barr: "Just DECLARE the election corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republicans." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Ukrainian government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump to the Chinese government: "Just SAY you're opening an investigation into Joe Biden." He didn't want an actual investigation because he didn't want the actual truth to come out. Trump announced that the Manhattan DA dropped his case when he knew that was easily disprovable - but some will believe it. It's con man strategy to target the gullible minority and disregard the vast majority that knows it's BS. He lied TO the media about being indicted on a specific Tuesday and some of his followers accused the media of lying. Now, who's really politicizing this stuff? Notice a pattern? By the way, this now concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to accuse every Black prosecutor of being racist against Whites and any mention of our country's racist history as being hostile towards Whites is absolutely disgusting. I'm White, and I will always vote against Trump and his fellow racists. I really hope Black people will come out and vote against it in droves.

  15363. This is our president, ladies and gents: WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, SUGGESTING HE ASK HIS WIFE HOW IT FEELS TO BE A LOSER — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

Nor will Biden be a "puppet" of people who don't have his experience. These right-wing talking points are so far removed from reality. Trump talks like a dictator.

  15377. docbar - You've got proof?

  15378. Sooner Admirer - That shooter was not the president or a government official. There are fringe elements on both sides. Trump is the only president to ever exploit these divisions and speak, regularly, in ways that nut-jobs will take as a call to arms. But what is the point of your whataboutism?
    1
  15379. Don't take it seriously? Are you on crack? It's all they talk about, and they put medical professionals on all the time. Trump denies it, makes it a political issue, and "jokes" about the "kung flu".

  15383. Bill Web - Care to explain that? You do realize that the country is disproportionately represented by REPUBLICANS, right? Because of their gerrymandering, it is MUCH harder for Dems to win.

  15384. Trump's own voter fraud commission found NOTHING. Have you people even thought about what it would require to pull-off an illegal citizen voter scam like that? It would take a MASSIVE fake ID operation. Yet not one fake ID was found. By the way, Latinos vote Republican at about the same rate as the rest of the population. Most illegals live in states like California and Texas, where they're either too blue or too red to make it worth it from a risk/reward standpoint.

  15385. It is illegal and impeachable to dangle a pardon, and there needs to be an immediate investigation into whether or not Trump was "joking". Who did he tell this "joke" to? Did they take it as a joke or an order?

  15386.  @rkentwistle  It doesn't take a lawyer to know dangling pardons is illegal. It's a simple fact. If he wasn't joking, he committed a very serious crime.

  15387. King Monkey Mon - If you think this is unfairly critical, what do you call trying to say Dems/CNN/liberals are defending MS-13? You know that is complete bullshit. But yeah, why say Ivanka is insensitive over a Tweet when we can criticize her for using her White House job and Daddy's position to make money on Chinese copyrights? And just watch FOX News for 5 minutes if you want to see worse than this. Check out their Chelsae Clinton bashing from yesterday - the same day Ivanka Tweeted the picture. There is no equivalency.

  15388. I came up with a drinking game. It's simple. Turn on FOX News. Every time one of those douchbags says "the left", the first one to say "bullshit" gets to make everyone else take a shot...but if they said "the left" in a non-derrogatory way, the one who calls bullshit has to take two shots. (That won't happen). Within ten minutes, everyone will be wasted - even the person quick with the "bullshit" calls - because they'll drink anyway. Who can take ten minutes of that shit sober?

  15394.  @manoftruth0935  - "Liars vote for Democrats". Are you 12 years old? Yeah, the racists vote Democrat. That's why Republicans get around 10% of the Black vote and all of the racial hate groups support Republicans. Duh.

  15396. What? Are you actually worried that the next election won't be fair? Just because the president said it's okay to cheat and keeps soliciting foreign interference? Silly liberal.
    1
  15397.  Randy Smith  Trump's own voter fraud commission found nothing. The only one who was caught double voting voted twice for Trump. Trump actually told his voters to vote twice, and that it was okay to cheat in his favor. So, dead people always vote Democrat? Hispanics vote Republican at the same rate asnon-Hispanics. Large scale, individual voter fraud is impossible, and if you don't see why, then you have no clue how the electoral system even works.
    1
  15398.  @benflippin5070  It wasn't about a phone call, but what the call exposed. What other evidence could there be? More people in all of the agencies involved corroborating the scheme, and debunking this absurd idea that nobody got any of the information first hand. Shit, if you say, "What else could there be?" then the Republicans should WANT to expose this "lack of evidence", and call witnesses to actually bolster their defense. Common sense!

  15405. Bob Belson - Wow. You people just parrot those talking points without a clue about what they mean. First, they DID subpoena Bolton in the House. Second, that's not the way it works. They INDICT in the House, then there is a TRIAL in the Senate. Witnesses in the trial do not have to first be subpoenaed by the House. That's ridiculous. And I don't hear any Republicans saying Hunter Biden can't testify in the trial because he didn't in the House.

  15407. Bob Belson - No, the Clinton impeachment was a partisan attempt to smear a president. The reason the Republicans are calling this partisan is because they refuse to accept the facts. Can you honestly say that if Trump was Obama or Clinton, you would be okay with what he has done? Of course not.

  15415. Clinton colluded with Russia to leak her own party's emails in order to lose the election just so she could have something to smear Trump with. She started this back in the summer of 2016 by going to the heads of the CIA, DHS, FBI, DNI, NSA, British and Dutch intelligence, and said, "I'm probably going to win, but in case I lose, will you fabricate intercepts and reports, commit felonies, and avoid being caught by Republicans and honest Democrats in your agencies so we can smear Trump?" Then she asked Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to fake ad sales in rubles. She asked the FBI to fake a hack into 21 states' voter roll software. She asked James Comey to hurt her chances by announcing a reopening of her email case and to not announce that the Trump camp was also being looked at for possible Russian collusion. And all of these people said, "Sure. Anything for you, Hillary." Yeah. That makes sense.

  15416. Jacob Winners - Moron, how do YOU not know there were 8 other agencies that signed-off on the Uranium deal, and only Obama could veto it? Do you think they ALL took bribes? Clinton didn't even initiate the deal. The "briber" had no stake in the company when the deal was made. There is absolutely no evidence of misdirected funds by the Clinton Foundation - a highly-rated charity started by a former president. Man, you people are fucking stupid.
    1
  15417. Jacob Winners... and Clinton did not pay for Fusion GPS' research. First, a Republican group funded it, then a Democratic group. Their research was legal, but even if it wasn't, that's on THEM not Clinton. And what SENSE would it make to pay for fake opposition research? Not to mention, they didn't even use it during the campaign! BTW, NOTHING in the dossier has been discredited. Much of it has been corroborated. And the dossier was NOT the basis of the investigation. Keep on believing Trump's impossible conspiracy theories, idiots.

  15418. 9 Trump associates lying about Russian contacts isn't evidence? What about Papadopoulos trying to obtain hacked emails from the Russian government? Or how about Don Jr ADMITTING to colluding with the Russians in a meeting about adoption sanctions, admittedly being there for dirt on Clinton? That "No evidence" line is Sooo 2016. If Trump was Clinton, you people would lose your shit, and you KNOW IT! Imagine if Clinton won, and then John Podesta got charged with money laundering and conspiracy against the US like Manafort? Or that Chelsae Clinton had that meeting. How on earth can you be so suspicious of ANY nonsensical suggestion that Hillary did anything wrong, and at the same time see no cause for suspicion of Trump?? WTF??

  15429. Trump is trying to conflate several issues. VANDALISM AT PROTESTS IS SEPARATE FROM OTHER CRIMES! It's obvious he wants to lump them into the same category and blame all crime on Dems. He wants us to think they ALL support every BLM demand, rioting, anarchy, and communism. The most bizarre suggestion is that those who oppose police brutality and racism are racists themselves. Really? Anyone who opposes racism must be a Democrat? It's absurd to say all vandals are Dems. Most don't care at all about government or politics. Has Trump tried to find out WHY crime is spiking? What are they supposedly doing wrong in Dem cities as opposed to Republican cities? Crime always spikes in the summer. COVID is obviously a factor. It's causing economic distress. Authorities are trying not to fill the jails and spread the virus. That's EVERYWHERE, not just in "Dem cities." That's a ridiculous term in the first place. "Dem cities"? What? Where the Mayor is a Dem? What about the Governor? The state AG? Congressmen? Senators? The PRESIDENT? Republicans cry, "You can't keep your [city, district, state, county] clean and safe!" to attack any Dem lawmaker. There are MANY factors. For murders, you need detectives. Gang crimes, gang units. Riots, riot police. There are criteria for charging state and federal crimes. Has Trump addressed ANY of this?? He's not even asking what these mayors and local cops need. THIS IS A LOW-DOWN POLITICAL PLOY, and it smacks of fascism and it's reminiscent of the civil unrest of the 1960s.

  15432. Notice how Trump says, "If you see prosecutors breaking the law, protest," instead of, "If you see it, report it." Why? Because reporting it gets it investigated. He doesn't want facts to come out. He wants his followers to simply BELIEVE they saw something illegal, get viscerally angry, and raise mindless hell.

Any excuse, real or imagined, to undermine democracy because your candidate is a power mad, sore loser?? What if Biden did that? I REPEAT - WHAT IF BIDEN DID AND SAID WHAT TRUMP DID AND SAID? Would you be okay with that?? Of course you would not, so you people are purely ridiculous.

  15438. North the Great - Are you blaming the media for the Iraq war? Is that what you are trying to say? Apparently, you do not remember or could not comprehend what was going on. Virtually all Republican politicians supported it. Most Democrat politicians supported it. The "liberal" media reported on it. You apparently don't know a fucking thing about what journalism even is. First off, it isn't one monolithic entity, and it wasn't a propaganda wing of the Republican party. Right wingers accuse them of being a propaganda wing of the DEMOCRATS. More Republicans than Democrats supported that war. Shit, this is not rocket science.
    1
  15439. North The Great - Yeah. I said most Democrats supported the war. Still, more Republicans did. So, if most Americans are either Democrats or Republicans, that would include Americans in the media, right? So why would the media be expected to editorialize unpopular opinions about such a popular war? You're undermining your own argument.

  15440. Doesn't Matter - What?? What do protesters in Iran have to do with Trump lying his ass off all the time? For one thing, they are protesting the Iranian leadership for lying about shooting down that plane. They are ALSO more united against the US after Trump assassinated Soleimani. It is OBVIOUS that Trump is bullshitting us about the intelligence used as the basis for it. He's telling US what the briefers wouldn't tell intel committees in Congress? What neither the Sec. of Defense or the Sec. of State would tell us? How is it not obvious that he just makes shit up as he goes along?

  15441. Doesn't Matter - Yes, I know there were a lot of Canadians on the plane. SO? What does that have to do with anything I said?

  15442.  @billk8105  What on Earth are you talking about? They reported extensively on the fact that Canadians were on that plane and that the Canadian president is pissed about it? How would that be reason not to trust them if they didn't? That makes no sense. What kind of spin do you think they are engaging in with regard to the Canadians? See, you're so biased against the media, you don't even know how to watch the news without looking for ANYTHING to bash them over. And yes, it is true and it's common sense that killing the Iranian general united the Iranians against the US. One day, they were protesting for more freedom. Then we killed Soleimani, and the next day there were hundreds if thousands in the streets burning American flags.

  15443. LAST CALL - Yeah, with less than majority support, he grabbed and shook the shit out of it. Doing that makes more than half of the country unhappy. He refuses to govern anywhere close to the center, and he has the nerve to piss and moan about any and all criticism over it. WTF does he expect? He even whines about being lampooned on SNL! Well, excuse the fuck out of us, but we expect a president who just wants to shake things up to have viable plans and proposals to improve things, not just fuck everything up because he wants to throw a fit. This shouldn't even require any explaination, but apparently, his followers are so stupid, they need it explained.
    1
  15444. LAST CALL - And don't be fooled, he had no experience, but he is a natural politician, and the Republican ESTABLISHMENT is loyal to him because he is allowing them to push their agenda. He is 100% establishment now.

  15445. You people act like Clinton had no political enemies. That's laughable. Ever hear of the Starr investigation? The 9 Benghazi probes? Hell, most Dems weren't crazy about her. BTW, Ken Starr was a Republican, while the Clintons were Dems. Robert Mueller is a Republican like Trump.

They save the attacks for when they are a threat to rob them of time to counter them. Until then, Trump will want to help the ones behind because it spreads out the vote and takes votes away from the frontrunners.
    1
  15464. This reminds me of shortly after 9/11, when a reporter saw Bill Clinton in New York and asked him about the attack. I didn't like Bush very much. I always liked Clinton, and it was good to hear him speak again after almost a year. In 8 years, you get used to hearing a President on TV on a regular basis. Given my distaste for Bush and the national crisis we were in, I thought, "I miss him. I wish he could be President again". Hearing Obama speak now is like that. It's not quite the same as 9/11, but Trump's presidency feels like a national crisis. I've been listening to Trump's growling, obnixious voice on TV for 2 years, lying and throwing tantrums like a child. I liked Obama more than Clinton. I have much more of a distaste for Trump than I did for Bush. Hearing Obama's dignified, familiar voice during douchebag's train wreck of a presidency, I'm thinking, "I miss him. I wish he could be President again". It's kind of depressing.

  15467. Right wing extremists win when they convince the moderates of a false equivalence between the two political parties. I used to say, "A plane needs a right and a left wing to fly" when I didn't like what classic conservative Republicans were doing. Now I think we need to land the plane and replace the right wing before we crash and burn. I suspect moderates and independents have heard so many lies about the Dems, the media, and the scientific community that even if they don't necessarily believe them, they think, "All politicians are always screwing us, so maybe there's SOME TRUTH to those conspiracy theories" when there simply is none whatsoever. Obviously there are rare exceptions, but those are usually the mole hills the Right calls mountains. The Republican party has simply lost its way. It doesn't have to disappear or implode if it would just replace its members with mature adults who want to solve actual problems. Republican and Independent voters, PLEASE try to see through the BS and educate yourselves on the issues before you vote. Demand better from your elected officials. America hasn't been successful because of one party demonizing and insulting the other. It's because of ACTUAL WORK, IDEAS, LEADERSHIP, LEGISLATION, and LAW. Not "owning the libs" or demonizing them to the point your extremists believe that we're trying to kill you, rape your babies and set up a communist regime in the most hyper-capitalist country on Earth.

  15468. ShunSha - CISA determined 2020 was the safest in US history. The DOJ found no crime had occurred and no suspect to charge. The Supreme Court found no reason to litigate it along with 60 lower courts. There were multiple ballot audits and multiple hand recounts confirming over 99% accuracy. The top Georgia election official gave a detailed debunk of every fraud allegation. Virtually all polls showed Trump behind Biden. Trump's approval rating never hit 50% in four years. There was a phone call in which Trump clearly committed fraud himself. His former lawyer claimed in court that a reasonable person couldn't take their fraud claims as statements of fact. Trump's chief pollster did an "autopsy" of his failed election bid that doesn't mention fraud and acknowledges that Biden had a double-digit lead. They say the fraud was perpetrated by everyone - individual voters, postal carriers, the Chinese, poll workers, Biden himself... It was committed everywhere - Multiple counties in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin... Yet in all of this time, they've found no crime scene and no suspect.

  15472. @Wayne Obviously not. You're cherry-picking one issue and twisting it. There is no way it will ever affect pro or college sports. It can't be legislated, and fans will never accept private sports franchises using what would be seen as "ringers." It's about trying to find a way for trans kids to participate in school sports.
    1
  15473. @Wayne Congress can't really tell private sports franchises who to put on their teams, but they can make laws for schools. Fans here won't accept trans professional athletes. People gamble on those games. I don't know how to handle letting trans kids play school sports. My point was that was the issue, though.

  15474. Step 1 - Announces his wishes. Step 2 - Does the illegal/unethical thing that fulfills those wishes. Step 3 - Gets caught. Step 4 - Denies he did the illegal/unethical thing, but also asserts that, even though he didn't do it, it would be perfectly fine if he had...if HE had...not someone in his same position...like Joe Biden. "Rules for thee, not for me", says an autocrat.

  15476. Build The Wall With Liberals - You want me to write a book about the evidence of collusion? I'd say Don Jr admitting to colluding with the Russians is evidence of collusion. So is George Papadopoulos admitting to it and pleading guilty to lying to investigators. How about the now NINE Trump associates lying/failing to disclose Russian contacts during the campaign? How about the fact that British and Dutch intelligence warned US intelligence about it early in 2016? How about Trump's Dept. of Agriculture nominee withdrawing his nomination so he won't have to admit he discussed collusion with Papadopoulos during the campaign? And now, we know Jeff Sessions knew specifically about that collusion last year. Not to mention, we know now that the Trump camp knew about the Russian attacks before the public did, but instead of reporting it to the FBI, they reached out to the Russians.

  15480. annoyed aussie - FOX News goes WAY beyond deceit by omission, and WAY beyond how CNN and MSNBC report the news. FOX systematically demonizes words and names, and conflates multiple stories to create a narrative about "the left". The brainless fools who watch it don't care about how things work, so they don't realize that it's just news story salad where they haven't offered any information.

  15481. If a news outlet straight reports, "A man plead guilty to murdering two children today," is that opinion? No. But you can safely assume that most people would conclude that the man who pleads guilty is a bad person. This is what you hyper-media critics do not understand. When CNN reported the FACT that "Don Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jarred Kushner met with surrogates of the Russian government," that was a FACT. No opinion. People are going to see a presidential campaign's top people meeting with Russian government surrogates to trade dirt on their opponent for favors as a negative thing, right? Ever consider that "MSM's coverage of Trump is 98% negative" was because most of what he DID AND SAID WERE NEGATIVE? There is FACT, OPINION, and ANALYSIS. There are so many people out there who don't even know how to watch the news! Those who cry "CNN is biased" are the ones who engage in the most confirmation bias. Hopeless hypocrites and idiots.

I doubt that corporate interests step in as much as people may think. I think sponsors call in favors from editors sometimes when they want to publicize something or want the press to ignore something negative. It's obvious, especially on the morning news, that they do, basically, commercials for corporations. But they don't pledge loyalty to political parties. They don't, for instance, neglect to report on a crooked Democrat just because he's a Democrat.

  15496. When media bashers say "The media lie," they can almost never name a specific lie. When outlets report a fact, 99% of the time, it is accurate. It would be a little closer to the truth to say the media DECEIVE. That's far from deliberately mis-stating facts. Usually when I ask a media basher to name some lies the media have told, I get, "Trump colluded with Russia, Nick Sandmann, and Jussie Smollett." Those replies are nonsense. First, Trump DID collude with Russia. Collusion means COOPERATION, which he clearly did. It's not a legal term. Collusion does not mean "found guilty of criminal conspiracy." But set that point aside. The facts made Trump look guilty. When it was reported that three of Trump's top people met with surrogates of the Russian government to trade dirt for favors, that was a FACT. No reporter said, "Don Jr took a flash drive from a Russian agent." That would be a lie. The facts looked bad, so naturally the opinions in editorials were negative. Let's say media report that a man's wife is missing and her husband had blood in his car, gunshot residue on his hands, and lied to police. Editorials about domestic violence would cast the husband in a negative light, and nobody would say the media were lying. Jussie Smollett lied to police, and media simply reported the facts. The suggestion that somehow the media know the truth about things nobody else knows is absurd. Believing that they deceive us every time a story makes a liberal look bad is ridiculous, especially when the liberal isn't even a politician, and the story has nothing to do with politics. Nick Sandmann is the exception that proves the rule. The media didn't lie. They mis-characterized. It was a mistake, and they paid for it. If deception was standard practice, news outlets would have been sued out of existence long ago. Also, there is no objective truth in that story. It's based on what was going on in Sandmann's head, and what his intentions were. There are many news outlets, many stories, and many reports every day. Media bashers love to say "the media" as if it's one homogeneous, connected group. So, even when a reporter makes a mistake or even lies, to paint the entire industry as liars is as absurd as saying "Starbucks cheats you" because a barista once over-charged you for a scone. The same type of conservative who says, "It's just a bad apple" when a trigger-happy cop shoots an unarmed person will call the entire media a group of serial liars when a single reporter makes a mistake. There is a LOT I don't like about news media, and I don't believe everything I hear. But I assume simple facts are accurate unless there's real reason to believe otherwise. On rare occasions when the facts they report are inaccurate, I first assume they made a mistake before I start conjuring up wild conspiracy theories. People should simply recognize the difference between FACT and OPINION. "16 Trump associates lied about their contacts with Russia" is a FACT. "All of their lying makes them look like they're hiding something" is an OPINION, but it's also a reasonable opinion to have. News outlets compete with each other, often by way of sensationalism. They aim to get the facts right because if ABC gets it wrong, CBS will get it right. Sponsors are their masters, not the DNC. (That idea is laughable. Media have WAY more money and power than the DNC, which is made up of mid-level politicians who can't get elected to office). For the same reason, media don't block stories about dirty politicians just because they're Democrats. They're not the sole gatekeepers of information. Notice that the "liberal" media promptly reported on the Hunter Biden investigation. It's a sensational story. They work for sponsors. It makes no sense to limit themselves to half of the market. It's ironic that the biggest media bashers nowadays are fervent Trump supporters who complain about bias. Trump coordinates with FOX News, and he habitually lies. Those people are hypocrites at best, but usually it's flat-out projection. Hypocrisy is accusing others of what you also do. Projection is accusing the innocent of what you do. It's notable that during Trump's first month in office, he actually told the press corp, "If you're going to hold us to getting every little thing right, I'm just going to stop having these press briefings." Yes, he actually said that.

  15498. If Trump's wall funding was a loan from a bank, the bankers would laugh him right out the door. So, Mexico will "pay" with the increased revenue into the treasury? Fine. Trump can open an "account", and start a dedicated wall fund. Let's see how that fund does. Money from a trade surplus doesn't go into the treasury. We also need a good, HONEST, INDEPENDENT study on how much the wall will cost. $25 billion is a figure Trump pulled out of his ass. His first figure was, like, $4 billion. Trump doesn't read or research anything. He notoriously lies about numbers, and shit ALWAYS happens. Think they'll finish under budget? Think he factored-in property rights issues? Lawsuits, over eminent domain issues? Environmental concerns? LOST revenue from lost commerce due to that wall? If Trump puts OUR MONEY where HIS MOUTH is, Mexico will not end up paying for anything. By the way, a majority of Americans do not want a wall.

But it is absurd to say that Clinton colluded with Russia because Putin hated Clinton. Duh. That's why he wanted to support Trump so much. Trump flat-out said that the Trump Tower meeting was one that "anyone would take". Get it? You are the one who doesn't deal in facts.

  15508. M. wolf - Soliciting foreign government assistance in a US election is a crime. Trump did that with Russia, China, and Ukraine. He insists it's okay. He calls it "oppo research"...if he does it. If a Democrat hires an actual oppo research firm, he calls it treason. - The Mueller Report details ten instances of obstruction of justice. - Trump was named an unindicted co-conspirator, Individual 1, for directing his lawyer to commit a felony, involving bank fraud and FEC violations, to pay hush money to a porn actress. He is on tape committing this crime. - Trump has repeatedly violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by funnelling money to himself through his real estate properties. He is putting money from American taxpayers and foreign dignitaries right into his own pocket. - Trump altered an official weather chart. That is a crime. - Trump dangled pardons to get officials to circumvent eminent domain laws for his border wall. - Trump solicited the help of a foreign government to dig up dirt on his potential opponent, a prominent US citizen, former Senator and Vice President. He extorted the Ukrainians and engaged in a cover up. - Trump is using the DOJ to maliciously investigate 130 former State Department officials' emails from over 7 years ago, and retroactivity classifying them. This is clearly an abuse of power, to smear Trump's arch rival, purely for the purpose of politics. - Bill Clinton was impeached over one lie about his personal life. He lied under oath, but Donald Trump refuses to go under oath, and he has lied over 13,000 times in 3 years. Compare that to Barack Obama lying 148 times in 8 years. Do the math. Is that acceptable? A president doesn't have to commit a crime to be impeached.

He said the USSR occupied Afghanistan in '79 because of terrorists, and was "right to do it".

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. - Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013). - The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform - To remove language that said the US should help the Ukrainian resistance of Russian aggression. - 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. - The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that during the 2016 campaign, Stone had drafted pro-Putin tweets for Trump to send out as his own. - Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin to get around US intelligence. - Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him".

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 he publicly criticized Putin. - 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". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign). - In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.

  15540. You'd think politicians would love to federally de-criminalize - or at least remove it from the same category as coke and heroin. Mainly because money lost to the black market, and to Mexico would become tax revenue for the US. Also, we lose a lot of job productivity and have high job absenteeism due to alcohol. I'm a firm believer that easier access to pot means less drinking. I drink, but less frequently and less per session when I smoke weed. Less alcohol, fewer and less intense hangovers, and pot mitigates hangovers. It's a wonder drug for me. It cures my chronic insomnia without making me wake up groggy like with OTC sleep aides (that often don't work), and benzos. Alcohol actually causes insomnia. Some people say they sleep like a baby when they drink. Not me. And weed also helps me wake up. I'm an ogre in the morning, but a few bong hits with my coffee, and I'm ready to go. The alcohol industry is against legalization, and I think that's why. Maybe they're donating to (bribing) the politicians.
