    I never thought I'd see the day when you of all people would go soft on the Russians.

    Goddamn, Tamar, you can't just leave us hanging like that! :P

    But I'm hoping your nephew is right. I'm guessing with this shit right now, Lanz's prediction on Trump being outed by the Fouth of July is looking more plausible.

    So, no problem manipulating the election as long as the manipulators are your fellow Americans?
    Unless Trump hacked the DNC, the most you can say is that he may have benefited from Russian hacking. :shrug:

    Kind of like we can go after each other and it's cool, but if a non-wordforger comes and talks shit about one of us, it's on?

    The choice wasn't between liberal Americans and a murderous dictator. It was between Clinton and Trump.

    I would say both are fair. I can call my sister a dumb shit, but if someone outside of my friends and family calls her that, I'm not going to just take it.

    Supposing the Russians did hack the DNC, and supposing they did leak the information to benefit Trump, what really was wrong with it?

    Did they convince you of something that wasn't true? Did they deceive you in some way? Did they hack voting machines to register false votes?

    Or did they just reveal facts?

    Hacking is a fact of life, and we better get used to it. And politicians better guard themselves against it.

    Not no problem, but much much less of a problem certainly.

    Unless he colluded with the Russians....which is what the FBI investigation is trying to figure out. He did publically ask the Russians to keep up with the hacking afterall.

    Just to be clear, I don't think the Russian hack swayed the election one way or the other. It just pisses me off that the Russians tried to rig our election. It would enrage me if it turns out that Trump was in on it.

    My mind was already made up and I have yet to have voted for someone who has won, but if Trump was making secret deals with Putin, that's not cool. His actions say otherwise though.

    Trump was not involved with the Russians.

    I mean come on.....

    The left is having daily shit-fits over Trump just being POTUS.

    If they had people in the government who had the goods on Trump that he was actively in bed with Putin that shit would have leaked by now.

    #1 You're wrong for this. No way would it be acceptable.

    #2 Stop calling them liberals. They are leftists. They left behind the liberal ideas a long time ago.

    Of course the Democrats wanted Comey fired right up to the moment Trump actually fired him. Now they are upset.

    Very good, but that's not what you said. You said you would actively conspire with a murderous dictator to thwart the will of the American people, if you stood to gain by it.

    Maybe he wasn't. But the FBI sure seems to think it's possible.

    The case against Mike Flynn is so stupid that not even the media has leaked just what it was he talked to the Ambassador about that was so illegal.

    Stop and think about that. If Mike Flynn had truly done something illegal why hasn't the transcript gone public? Everything else gets leaked. Hell we even had it leaked about Trump wandering around in his damn underwear and robe!

    No. I'm talking that actual transcript. Where is it? If what Flynn did was so illegal why hasn't the media let the transcript loose?

    Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign are not under criminal investigation.

    I hope you realize that.

    The FBI is not investigating him. The FBI is conducting a counterintelligence investigation into Russia's possible actions during the 2016 campaign.

    Comey has testified to that fact in front of Congress.

    If in the process of conducting the counterintelligence investigation the FBI finds a criminal action then and only then will it conduct a criminal investigation.

    No, but the FBI is indeed investigating Trump ties to the Russian hack and Comey said as much.

    I don't think it's a criminal investigation at this point.

    I think you're right, but I don't think I ever said it was a criminal investigation.

    If you want to officially designate the Russians as enemies of the United States and support retaliation against them I'm willing to back your play.

    And of course I'm hoping that means massive expansion of the U.S. armed forces and increased defense spending.

    The FBI and DOJ probably can’t go after Clinton at this point for the emails because of Comey’s previous actions.

    But they can go after Huma and everyone else involved.

    And they can make Clinton testify in each and every case.

    Plus let’s not forget the Clinton Foundation investigation is still going on. She could be caught up in that. With Loretta Lynch, Obama, and Comey out of the way that investigation will be picking up speed.

    Just a friendly reminder that two things can be true at once:
    1. Comey should have been fired over emails
    2. This was shady as fuck

    in other words, it is not necessary to defend Comey in order to question the timing and execution o this firing.
