It's not a matter of starting WW3. It's a matter of the fucking incoming secretary of state defending Putin's war crimes, claiming he won't recommend legislation forcing sanctions against countries guilty of cyberattacks against the US unless Trump can waive them at will for his buddies, deflect deflect deflect, then tune into Trump continuing to deflect and talk about buddying up with Russia and now even defending his conflicts of interests.
that would be the same as me creating a document full of lies claiming Obama wasn't born in the US then CNN gets a hold of it and broadcasts on their news that we have a document claiming Obama wasn't born in the US we cant verify the claims in the document I but we have it
what impression would that give to the audience?
Well, at least he's not actually answering any questions.
So much for transparency...
Lol he just pushed that woman in front of the mic and shuffled off.
This mans ego, holy shit.

No. This, exactly this right here is why so many people struggle with politics these days. Because they are being forced into camps, or labled as to belonging into one camp and then being rissiculed for it. "Crazy liberals." "Dumb Trumpists." Or whatever stupid new terminology the retards on the web cook up every few days. (Not adressing that last part to you personally, Breccia. I understand your point and am sympathetic with it, to a certain degree.)
Political views come in a great many shades. For example, one can hate or dislike Trump, but still ask for proof on any alleged crime or perpetration, because otherwise, it is nothing short of slander. In my opinion, Trump is an incompetent scumbag. And yet, if any accusations are made, there needs to be proof. Same goes for Putin's gouvernment. Past transgressions are no basis for a prosecution. They can (and should be) a basis for suspecting something of someone. I'm rather sure that there are many many dirty secrets Trump still has to spill. And some dossier from Russia might just be in the mix. But unless there is any evidence presented it has no place in serious discussions or the news.
The same goes for the 'fake news' label. It is a pathetic attempt to discredit sources and informations, and that goes towards both 'camps' aswell. Withholding parts of the truth is just as bad as deliberatly forging fake stories, and the former has been praciticed by main stream media for months and years now, while the latter seems to be a preferred tool of radically oriented sites. But neither is more despicable then the other - both are equally disgusting.
And Hillary DID look as if she was going towards that bright light in the past summer. As someone who practices madicine I'd be highly concerned if any of my relatives or friends looked like that, I'd advise them to be examined. That doesn't mean that she is dying, or that only drugs keep her on her feet, of course. But she didn't look healthy, either. Of course, it is her privilege to keep her health personal, like any other individual.
Trump, and a great many other peoples, have a lot of dirt under their rug. Some of it may have been made public, and a lot of it may yet be revealed. But I'm still not willing to condemn him, or anyone else, be it Hillary and her emails or Putin with his hacks, without any body of proof whatsoever. That doesn't mean that they have my support, either. I would not trust any politician with a burnt match. Especially Trump.
At this point I feel like I could post a sourced research paper and I'd be accused of posting fake news.
