Originally posted by JimL View PostThe biggest problem for liberal democracy and this country is not the treasonous con man in the White House, it's the corruption of the system that the minority has successfully utilized to put him and the unprincipled political cowards that support him in there. Trump has his ugly base of support, but the majority of the conservative minority are just confused and misinformed, or uninformed tribal members who support the very people who are out to steal their liberal democracy away from them and replace it with Athoritarian rule. Hopefully the non-deplorable supporters of Trump will wake up and be able to admit to the fact that they screwed up royally and, as Adam Schiff aptly put it the other day, throw the bums out.
I'd be perfectly understanding of anyone in this thread who thinks that's too cold hearted of a perspective, however.

Originally posted by DivineBoob View PostAnd we told our NATO allies. That certainly means the intel reaches a certain bar. And it was credible enough to worry (named!) commanders in the field.
But of course true patriots make excuses for malignant narcissists and then constantly pretend anyone in this thread, at any time, claimed that Russia was invited back into the G7 *because* of the Russian bounties.
As for telling our allies, again your unfounded assumption is that we would only do that if a claim is true, but it could also be a case of "Hey, this popped up on our radar. We don't have any confirmation, but let us know if you hear anything."
The fact is that everything we know about this at the moment is that it's uncorroborated. That's the word from the Commander in Chief on down.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostSure it worried a military commander. Why wouldn't it? Your problem is that you're assuming, wrongly of course, that it's not possible to be worried about something that is unverified. Remember, this same commander also said that it was never proven to him.

But do *you* oppose gerrymandering, may I ask?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Does anybody really believe that Trump has talked to Putin several times since the story came out and yet the issue never even came up. If so, there's this beautiful bridge in Brooklyn that I'm putting up for sale, real cheap. So, the question is, why is Trump lying, what does Putin have on him, how is he compromised, or is he just an out and out traitor?

What do they expect when they keep firing shells that are lacking in corroborating evidence?
