    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?

    Your mass delusions are funny.

    “RUSSIA!!!!!!!”

    You scream, like a lunatic, but when it comes to explaining precisely what they did or how they changed up a single vote, you back off and call others disconnected from reality when you haven’t made a point. What effect did Russia have on the election? What did they do to put Trump into the WH? These are the questions you can’t answer without making yourself look crazy and that’s why you gaslight me and balk on making a point. What did Russia do that put into the WH? Be specific because Russia has been doing this for decades, Democrats only started caring when their chosen one wasn’t elected and they’ve been trying to win the 2016 election, everyday after.

    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.
    It’s the logical conclusion of why I should spend my time worrying about Russia and what they do in 2020.

    Not a single vote was changed. Fact.
    Most of the money Russia spent, was after the election. Fact.
    Russia’s major goal was to stir the pot and make Americans doubt the election process. Fact.

    What did Russia do Jim and what party has been doing Russia’s work? Your tin foil hat, squarely on your head while calling others crazy, undermines everything you say. Your gaslighting and it’s obvious to anyone not caught up in your delusions, so answer the logical steps:

    Russia interfered in the election of 2016 by doing (blink) through (blink methods) which, put Trump into the WH.

    This is your logic, own it.

    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.
    It’s where your logic leads Jim. Own it and stop hiding from it.


    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.


    Jim
    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.

Your problem and the media’s problem is muddling up the waters and trying to pretend they are all true, by default.

    Again, you mix opinion up with fact and wonder only those inclined to agree with you, think you’re right. Trump is not a supervillain, Clinton lost fair and square, and Trump is president and didn’t cheat to win. Keep that tin foil hat on while claiming Barr has one on. Just shows what a hypocrite you truly are and how you can’t be unbiased when it comes to all things Trump.

    These are all separate claims Jim, with only the first one having any evidence to support it. The rest are an invention, by Democrats, to undermine the Trump administration and to make Trump appear to be working for the Russians. Muller, Congress, nor anyone has been able to prove the rest are true. Your inability to note this is telling Jim. In your movie, Trump is the evil supervillain, ready to destroy us all. In reality, Trump is simply a person that makes good and bad decisions. Your disconnect from reality is why only JimL, Sam, Tassman, or other anti Trumpers all agree with you and you have failed to convince anyone else. You won’t listen to a word anyone says, so I don’t even bother. You’re just like the Jorge of civics, so convinced your opponents are either evil or stupid, you can’t see any possibility beyond that.

    Lots of opinion, very little fact. How is he mismanageing the military, state dept, and intelligence agencies? What lawless actions? What crime did he commit? You haven’t been able to name one, but could care less. He personally attacks people? So? The media lies about him, but you could care less because they confirm what you want to believe.

    Like I said Jim, you mix in lots of your opinion and expect everyone to immediately agree with it and present it as 100% fact, when it isn’t.



    No you won’t. You’ll provide your opinion, mixed in with fact, and present it as 100% fact when it’s (at best) your opinion, with your negative spin attached.

    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.

    Let's put it this way: you're clueless.

    Following an extensive 160-page filing by Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell; including extensive exhibits to support her motion to compel Brady material; Judge Sullivan has now delayed the previously scheduled November 7th hearing on the motion(s).

    Generally this delay is good news as it provides the Judge more time to review the rather extensive list of exhibits presented by the defense.

    Hopefully, the pending inspector general report on the DOJ/FBI FISA abuse issues will be released prior to the next hearing. There is a possibility that IG report will contain background material on FBI and DOJ misconduct that will be supportive of the defense case highlighting how Flynn was set-up.

    https://theconservativetreehouse.com...rady-material/

    One thing is certain, Sydney Powell is making the prosecution's life miserable.
