It's not often I actually laugh at posts, but I legitimately just started chuckling and said "wait a minute".
Let me get this right, because I dont want to misunderstand you. You're saying that Donald Trump conspiring with Vladmir Putin's Russia, what the Pentagon rates as our most significant adversary in the world, is "rather trivial" compared to every day political corruption.?
I just want to be clear. That is what lives in your head?
Oh boy I live for the day I get to see that family dragged off in cuffs.
Pretty much. It depends on perception of course but I find it no less shady then Hillary's questionable sources of "donations" or lossing classified documents.
It doesn't seem worse then dick Cheney illegally declaring war without Congress.
I would also like to see proof of what hes accused of rather then the assumtion of guilt....
Forgive my english, as i'm not a native speaker
That's very possible, Trump could win again. But I also think there's a lot of opportunity in the next three years for Democrats to improve their policy message. More zen-like confidence would also help Democrats as opposed to anteing up on the moral panic, which increases right wing conditions.

Personally, I don't think the Democrats stand a chance unless they embrace Trump's agenda. They have nothing but "feelings" - all they do is exploit division (which is why they play the "race card" constantly - that is all they have.) I actually think the Democratic party, as a whole, is finished in this country. Sure, the rat's nests of LA, SF, Chicago, NY, etc. will always vote for them - they live in their bubbles and think that their cities represent the entire country. Thankfully, that could not be farther from the truth, as was proven in the last election.
Yeah. That's fucking ridiculous. Where do you live? Are you some kind of ridiculous country bumpkin that blind, deaf and dumb to Russia's actions across the world over the past five years because you're consomed with parochial political concers? Russia is the most dangerous country in the world, particularly to us and anyone else in the "West". The Pentagon is engaged in two build ups right now, the largest since the 1960s: a naval and airpower one to counter China, and a land power and missile one in Europe, to counter Russia.
The Army Chief of Staff, not long ago, said Russian adventurism in Europe is the only thing that keeps him up at night.
All this and more is true, and yet here you are, saying that Trump's collusion with them is no big deal, and that it's "no less shady than Hillary's donations".
Are you for fucking real? What's it going to take dude? A Russian attack on Estonia? Another election attack, maybe this one against a candidate you like?
You're doing exactly what the Clintonites did in the late 1990s with the rise of Al Qaeda. Exactly. You are Bill Clinton. You have a set of political priorities you are placing above a rapdily emerging national security threat, and as a result you're downplaying the nature of that threat in the hope it doesn't bite you in the ass.
Well it did on 9/11. And it did when Obama did the same, with Russia, until it was too late. And because of YOUR President, the chances of it happening again are even higher.
So when are you going to stop being an enabler for a dire threat against our national security?
Really? When did he do that. This should be fun. I'm no fan of Dick Cheney, but you legitimately made something up here.
We've had litterally months of threads on it. Maybe instead of just reflexively typing "nothing burger" because you're afraid of the implications, you should actually read whats written in detail.
Let's be very clear. Right now the PUBLIC Evidence against Donald J Trump himself for collusion is circumstantial. Compelling. But circumstantial. Which is why, as I've been saying for months, I think Mueller will go after Trump for Obstruction of Justice and maybe financial crimes, the evidence of that being rock solid and not circumstantial. Collusion, I think, he'll leave to historians to debate. By contrast, public evidence for collusion by his staff is rock solid.
Is Mueller's strategem not clear? Do we need to explain to you, again, why he is going after Papadapolous, Flynn, Gates and Manafort first, before likely Fredo Trump, Kuschner, and some other "unknowns" we don't know yet in the middle, before Trump at the very end?
Think about why he'd be doing that.
