Maybe the Huff and Puff post will do a better job in the journalism game, though the bar isn't really that high these days.

    And you don't care what they talked about? You also didn't answer my question. What are you implying isn't legitimate?
    I didn't give a shit when Obama's people talk. The same remains true here.

    And running full brunt into how THIS WILL GET HIM IMPEACHED FOR REAL, YO and then the evidence is lackluster lead to the sorry state the Republicans are in. So sorry, a person without proper political capital humiliated them.

    I still think it was worse for Democrats for the same reason Romney was such a harsh loss. Too many people expected a guaranteed win.

    Which is why people cared so hard about all those women and gays marching against Trump. Which is why Berkeley happened. Which is why people made up shit about Trump wanting to KILL Mexicans and Muslims.

    Because it's blown out.

    What are you even fucking talking about? If you're going to keep refusing to answer my questions and then go off on some tangent then don't reply.
    I answered your question. Read the top and middle.

    Of course, you can't remember what you type, eh, buzzwords?

    Just so we're clear you're upset about Clinton having contact with Saudi Arabia....?

    Do you think it was wrong of her to say she liked Saudis "very much" and that she should be held accountable for singing the praises of such horrible people?

    Does it infuriate you that she wanted to protect Saudi Arabia?


    Oh wait...That wasn't Hillary Clinton:

    During a rally on August 21, the day Trump created four of those companies, he said he gets along well with Saudi Arabia.

    "They buy apartments from me," Trump said during the Alabama rally. "They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

    In January of this year, Trump said on Fox News he "would want to protect Saudi Arabia.

    They're not fucking claiming that. Seriously can you not read at all? You even quoted where they specifically said they did not have evidence of such things. ALL they are claiming is that his aides had contact with Russia. You're arguing against something they aren't fucking saying.

    Try harder.
    Which is fucking meaningless unless every interaction means treason.

What they do have are classified documents from rogue intelligence officials that appear focused on trying to discredit and damage this President. Then again, you probably now are thinking Snowden is a hero now or some shit since the shoe's on the other foot. Or something.

    When you show me proof, who said this, and where their proof is; I'll consider it. Barring that. It's shitposting.

    Stop being obtuse.

    Do they? I mean they broke the law to obtain them unless US Intelligence has changed magically in 1 year. I would rather first know who broke the law by providing this "evidence", and then look at the evidence on the merits. Not what the claims of a lawbreaking paper like the Times states they have. Don't you remember this argument? It was made when Wikileaks was fucking the DNC up the ass in the election. Why is a proper cucking not good enough for you now? "You can't have this information, only we can so we'll tell you when we have something!"



    Who revealed this? What are their sources? I want concrete info, names, addresses, and positions held.

    Not bullshit.

    That wasn't the goal. That was the side effect of it being poorly thought out and executed.

    Nice deflection bro.

    You claimed Trump's intention was to block travel for us citizens.

    Plot twist: They were freaking out on election day. LONG before the laughable ban fiasco. But feel free to link those events to serve your agenda.

    I just read an article that said the GOP wants to investigate the leaks. Guess who's behind it but that little weasel squit 'I-only-tirelessly-pursue-her-emails Chaffetz.

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/politi...ral/index.html


    "Washington (CNN)Two top House Republicans asked the Inspector General on Wednesday to investigate leaks surrounding the ouster of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

    The request came in a letter from Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
    "We request that your office begin an immediate investigation into whether classified information was mishandled here," the letter to the Inspector General read.
    Trump's administration has been beset by damaging leaks over its first month, including reports of Flynn's contact with the Russian ambassador to the US in December that ultimately led to his downfall.
    Trump himself has decried such leaks as the "real scandal."
    Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, has so far declined to investigate President Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest or potential ties to Russia between himself or his aides.
    After White House counselor Kellyanne Conway promoted Ivanka Trump's clothing line in a televised interview from the White House, Chaffetz asked the Office of Government Ethics in a joint letter to review the potential legal violation for public employees endorsing products.
    In their letter, Chaffetz and Goodlatte called on the government watchdog within the Department of Justice to investigate this leaking of potentially classified information, citing "serious concerns" over the protection of classified information, a potential violation of laws separating intelligence gathering from law enforcement and a possible risk to national security."

    You know? I used to think that the GOP was basically just clinging to this for their own agenda and perhaps many of them are, but if they actively pursue the leaks to shut people up instead of focusing on all this shit falling down around them (and us), I'm starting to think a few high ranking GOP members may actually also have been involved in Russia's little love-fest. Maybe not from the very beginning, but eventually. If they do this, its like they'd be trying much too hard to tamp down on the truth.

    (edited to say that if you guys prefer, I'll give this its own thread; but the reason I didn't was because its so closely linked to the subject matter in this one and its a very modest article. I've been lurking on this reading over the whole thing, so if its a problem lemme know in a reply and I'll take care of it. Also, pertaining to this article, this opinion page had some good additional thoughts http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/opinio...ala/index.html)

    You seriously don't have a logical bone in your body. You're better off not replying because I'm done with you.

    The media is making a MASSIVE hoopla over this and you guys are all reading the click-bait. It's pathetic. Here is the crucial part:

    They are Carter Page, a businessman and former foreign policy adviser to the campaign; Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative; and Mr. Flynn.
    Neither of these people work for the current republican administration. What can you charge Roger Stone and Page on? Being Trump's friend and talking to Russians? Flynn was already fired, they have nothing on the current Trump administration unless more comes out. Is it even legal to rely on evidence provided by OTHER foreign governments? Can we trust them? The EU specifically? Unlikely, the EU to Democracy is Cancer to life, it is a terrible offshoot gone awry full of unelected bureaucrats having a massive amount of influence on world politics and economic flow. They are only out for themselves. Now, I don't think Trump or his main cabinet was stupid enough to directly talk to the Russians, so there is safety for him in that regard.

    Yes, the Russian DNC hackings did serve help Trump over Clinton, but you bet Saudi + Gulf State Money and influence, EU + Soros money and influence, Chinese money and influence etc. all aided Clinton and the left/status quo narrative in this propoganda war occuring in the media far far more than the Russians could have. You are foolish if you are gleefully buying into this or have an irrational hate of the Russians because they have some socially conservative laws. Wake up you fools.

Also, I know you don't bother reading my posts and love to pretend I say things I don't (remember when you got called on that by multiple people? i can remind you if not), but i have said on repeated occasions I am reluctantly in favor of the Iran deal and would not see it overturned.

    I was and remain DEEPLY troubled by how the Obama Administration at times basically acted like Iran's lawyer at worst, or as some kind of neutral arbiter, rather than an aggrieved party. And I would have gotten a tougher, longer term deal. But I am in no way in favor of tearing it up, especially since our allies are generally for it. I have said this on REPEATED occasions and it's a crock of shit you think I'm against it.

    Guess you'll have to stick to your anti-Trump rallies, ice cream socials and posting on MMO-C like a rabid gerbil.
    So let me get this right.

    -> We have me, who has a good career, a bunch of hobbies, a cool guild, and posts here in his free time about various issues (mostly relating to my hobbies) AND in his spare time, is working with an Anti-Trump group in the Boston tech community (that you cutely describe as "ice cream social").

    -> We have you, who lives in the "Divided Corporate States of Neo-Feudal Murica, Inc." (are you fucking joking?), lives on these forums, portrays himself as some kind of aggreieved ex-military (I don't believe it for a secon) anarchist-thing, and has an out of context quote in his sig, that contributes to his ridiculous internet forum campaign.

    Only one of us is actually doing something about Trump, and it's not you. Carry on your campaign against the Divided Corporate States of Neo-Feudal Murica, Inc., Caolela. When Trump steps down, and he will, at least I will be able to say I contributed, in some minuscule way, to fighting a would-be autocrat IRL. And you... what exactly? Continue your inane conspiracy theory internet posting towards the next administration, and the next, and the next, in your absurd never-ending online thing. Give me a fucking break, man.

    Let me know when you do something productive!

    As for you, playing Metal Gear Solid V is the closest you've ever been to a spook. I have friends who work in the intelligence community. Your temperament would entirely disqualify you. They're entirely rational, thoughtful, patient people. You're an 18 year old who loves forum wars and rants about the fact that America is turning into Blade Runner or Judge Dredd or something.

    There are people here who regularly challenge my arguments and are thoughtful, intellectual, principled people with whom I disagree with very much, but respect. You're not one of those people. Look at any of your posts. They're unhinged.
