The truth of the matter is the Democrat party et al understands exactly why and how they lost to Trump. At least internally they do that is if they are honest with their selves. If they would just have been more honest publicly they might be a lot better off. To just drag this conspiracy screaming at level 10 for four years just makes people not listen after some time. I think we see this now.



This is bigger than simply wanting to install Hillary Clinton as President. People for the most part have moved on from that. I have.


You are asking for them to overlook the possibility that Trump acted corruptly. You wouldn't be making similar requests if it were Hillary or even Obama.


I am not asking anyone to overlook anything.

It appears that Manafort was working for the Russians the entire time he worked as Trump's campaign manager.

Also appears to be one fucked up individual.

Maybe he wants to go to jail. Only place he might not be killed. Might.

Beginning to think as well. He went into hiding for 2 years and only resurfaced once he was selected to run Trump's campaign. They aren't going to play with him.

I've been thinking this for awhile. But given the hundreds of millions guys like Deripaska looted, and trump sniveling if not laying prostrate in front of their paymaster, they'd be fools to stop taking with two hands to worry about collecting. Or revenge.

I think they take him out if they get a clean shot at him. If nothing else to send a message.

The term "fake news" is such an inarticulate description that it seems only fitting that its use would be championed by Trump.


well, exactly; and his obsession with it to trademark it as a turn of phrase is a part of his hackneyed schtick.

If you’re talking about the pizzagate thing, the quote was about actual spam-news that was fake. It is definitely a Trump Trait but if he owes royalties I think it would go to John Stewart and the “Daily Show” from years back. He always used “fake news” to describe his show.

Before that, Norm MacDonald opened his Weekend Update with "and now, the fake news."

i'm glad that people finally wanna stick up for the massmedia.... they've been getting a bad rep for far too long and now people wanna start to get their "news" from other places that aren't run by GOOD. MONIED. PEOPLE. ?? for shame.... all these broke ass hacks have to realize that the free market decides what's trustworthy by bestowing them with a lot of money... and you know broke people are inherently shady while rich people are class personified with a fat bank account or two to back up the fact that they'd never compromise their morals/duty for money (that they need less than the scandalous hacks that pollute your uncle's facebook feed!)

when you turn on a TV station that bills itself "the most trusted name in news" it's like "seriously what's wrong with you?" when you start to question that. IT'S ON TV FFS!!!! it's a slippery slope from there cuz they don't let just anyone have a TV station these days, you know? but any jagoff with $1000 can go get a website, so there ought to be gatekeepers out there to keep the riff raff out of the news business.... i don't know about you but i shudder to think about a world where people can get their news from just anyone who hasn't been properly vetted by the top-5 media conglomerates of the world!

Sure they do. The Clinton's are masters of it. Then you have the Deep State executioners of their orders like Clapper, Mueller, Brennan, etc.

It is over-time that Trump takes the gloves off and goes after these dirt bags. He needs to bring down the Deep State whatever it takes. Fire anyone who gets in his way and put in people who will restore legitimacy back in the justice department and national security agencies. Hell, I just listened to a former deep state former Cia puke advocating that the Deep State take over the US government on CNN.

Not as much as the hundreds of millions of dollars that the Clintons took from Russia including the millions of dollars of PAYOFFS to swing the Uranium One deal. IF anyone made tons of money illegally, it was the Clintons and other members of the Obama administration. The Clintons have been DIRTY since the Bubba came out from under the rock and became the governor of Arkansas. They were snakes then and are snakes today.

I am kind of shocked at the level of naivete shown by people with respect to this. A perpetual adversary tried to sway the outcome of an election to make sure a woman who knows where all the bodies are buried and hates Putin, didn't get elected. This is in fact what adversaries do to one another. On the whole, China has been doing far more to the US over the last 20 years or so.

Im not into fiction so I primarily read history. I find memoirs on the CIA and things like that to often be better than any movie. Our history is full of doing similar things to other countries. As we should be. Hell, even endorsing a candidate in another country by a sitting president can be considered meddling.

We seem to have forgotten how the world works and just want to complain about it. We need to grow a spine again. People think the world is waffling on our leadership because of Trump. Trump is easy to understand and easy to navigate if you are not stupid, and there are some inevitable changes happening with or without him. The world truly started to waffle on US leadership under Obama. And I dont take joy in saying that as I voted for him twice. But within months of his first term our allies were saying that at least they knew where they stood with Bush. It's amazing how people forget that.


It's amazing to remember how many of the same things Trump gets ass blasted for, Obama was doing too:

President Obama, Frustrated With Allies, Calls Out the 'Free Riders'

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/barack ... rs-n535751



McCain loved it when under Obama, Victoria Nuland was caught saying "fuck the EU" which she was entirely right to say:

Yes?

If you're to act like a dick and call me out for a reply that you errorneously said I didn't make, you probably should make a reply yourself.

Read where James Clapper stated on CNN the other day that it was POTUS Barry Hussain Obama who was behind the entire campaign to plant spies in the Trump campaign and it was not his underlings acting on their own. I've said this from the beginning about Barry. He felt insecure about his "legacy" after Hillary ran a horseshit campaign and ended up getting upset in the election. He wanted Hillary to win and looked at her as a continuation of HIS administration. Now he(Barry) has a problem because his legacy has gone in the crapper.

You might try and construct meaningful sentences if you truly want someone to be involved in a dialog with you. Try to make an intelligible sentence first. Then go on to the next step...…...making an intelligible paragraph.

You also might try really hard to reference what you are responding to. Your weakness generally with the English language is hard in itself to decipher let alone your failure to provide any reference points.

Well, Frank, apparently the mods deleted a couple of posts that I sent to you for whatever reason. Irritating but that is how they roll. Nothing in them other than critiquing your logic and stuff. Or rather the lack of it. However, I recently criticized two posters who were engaged in a neener neener exercise in which they were calling each other racists so I am going to take my own advice and simply ignore you going forward.
