    Look and see how well you handle being wrong. There was nothing wrong with the link to vox, was there! It was a legitimate story covered by all legitimate news outlets.

    and therefore what is the logical conclusion to your freak outs? Did Trump work with Russia or not?
    I'm not having 'freak outs'. I'm just not responding as you'd like to your rants. Not sure what response you are looking for, but what I'm doing certainly isn't it

    We don't know to what extent he was working with Russia directly. There was insufficient evidence to say conclusively it constituted collusion. There is evidence they were trying to help him, they were trying to hurt hillary, and that he (Trump) was more than willing for that to happen, even openly encouraging and accepting such help.

    And given his attempts to secure help from Ukraine and even China, and his continued attempts to obfuscate or play down the obvious attempts by Russia which are directed at supporting him, my guess is he thinks that help is beneficial. That it helped him win in 2016, and that it may well help him win again in 2020. Otherwise - why seek it out?

    How you got those other 3 I do not know, my guess is you have perverted "The Russian interference was aimed at hindering Hillary and helping Trump" and "Trump has made attempts to get help from foreign entities" (re 2016 public request for russia to find Hillaries email and the now infamous Trump Tower meeting hoping to get dirt on Hillary) into those other 3 claims. But those other three claims, as far as what I have said on this site, are from your own imagination Pix.
    Note also that the actual claims I have made are simply facts or are directly supported by the facts. But you hear something else, something that does not exist.
    No pix. That statement is just absurd. You can't whitewash Trump into being somehow 'normal'. Trump is a person that mocks the rule of law. That seeks what benefits himself at the expense of others, even the entire country. He is abusive to those around him on a scale not observed in my lifetime of a president. He ignores the counsel of his experts, he demands those around him praise him openly - to name a few of the excesses and abusive elements of this man. There is very little about him on a given day that is normal or that reflects who most of us are - except perhaps at our absolute worst moments. What he boasts of, most of us would be ashamed. He literally has more in common with someone like Kim Jong Un or Vladimir Putin that he does any of us.

    And again, you post your opinions, as facts, and wonder why those already not inclined to agree with you, are not jumping on board. Your opinions are noted and dismissed as such, waiting for support.

    Trump, in true Orwellian fashion, did admonish his supporters at one of his cult rallies, to, and I paraphrase "stick with us, don't believe the jounalists, what you see and what you read is not what's happening." He must keep "1984" on his bedside table along with Mein Kampf.

    Denial must be a very pleasant place. Please read at least one of the links I posted above. Fox is there, so your 'mind' probably wont be too contaminated by looking.

    Meanwhile, Barr is actually opening a criminal investigation in which anything he finds will have to be put before an actual grand jury - as opposed to Schiff's misleading implication that his investigation is similar to a grand jury.
    In many ways, he presents Trump as a movie supervillain and wonders why so few take him seriously.

    The evidence that backs that opinion of his danger to this country is significant. From lawless actions to personal attacks on individual american citizens to irresponsible management of our military, state departement, intelligence and law enforcment agencies, and foreign policy.
    I will provide specifics if you can ever find your way out of personal attack mode and into evidence based discussion.
