.ZZ. Posted March 3, 2017 #28 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I want Schumer investigated! Krispy Kreme scandal! Schumer: "My meeting with Putin was in public and under oath! " I would have loved to see his right hand on a donut when he was sworn in. This whole Russian thing is ridiculous until we see PROOF of this alleged "collusion" Edited March 3, 2017 by .ZZ. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you know that, they why would you keep supporting it?!?! No, I'm not being naive, we at the grass-roots here are the kind of support this kind of thing requires to keep growing. Yes, if we turn our back on it the thing will die. And, damnit, the opposition is needed by both sides, it is what keeps whoever is in power honest.... but when the criticism itself from the opposition isn't honest then what good is it? This is a very serious subject and I don't care how foolish it may sound. There is a balance to be maintained and if Trump ever does do something outrageous I want to hear about it.... not waste my time filtering out 50 tons of junk to get to the stuff that means something. And if I am getting tired of this, then can you imagine how many people have already tuned the whole thing out? I'm getting too angry here, I think I'm done for the day... but come on, can't anyone back down for a while? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting too angry here, I think I'm done for the day... but come on, can't anyone back down for a while? For me its about the good of the nation. Ive used this analogy a couple of times now and I think it fits well, a man running for president and joking about having a foreign nation intervene in the process is akin to joking about a bomb while in line at the TSA - its inappropriate and needs to be investigated to ensure it really was a joke. I dont want democrats to be elected, i dont want to turn back time and make hillary win and I didnt want her to win then. Our goals may align at this moment but I hold as much disdain for the dems as I do for the Trumpians. Its about an oligarch and his friends putting themselves and their corporate interests before those of America. Its about keeping those in power held in check. Trumps use of the Stalinistic term "enemies of the people" when referring to the free press should have sent shivers up the spine of every American and put us all on notice to be paying closer attenion. In the Sessions case the dude misled congress. Theres simply no way around it. You can argue he didnt perjure himself because of his intent , but he did mislead congress and thats unacceptable behavior from the nations top law enforcement officer regardless of their party. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted March 3, 2017 #41 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The thing is, lots of politicians (both Rs and Ds) have met with Russians. Everyone needs to just accept this and move on. Let the FBI finish checking out the Trump campaign and if there was no actual collusion with the Russians (regarding the election) then all this needs to be let go...period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember all these people being so upset when President Obama, as a candidate for his 2nd term when he told Medvedev to tell Putin that his administration would be more cooperative after the Election!!! All these same people were so aghast that then Candidate Romney said Russia was the greatest geopolitical foe in a Debate where Obama laughed that off!!!

Or when President Bill Clinton gave good ol' Boris Yeltsin a nice big loan to bolster his support and make sure than the Communist Party didn't make a comeback .. The U.S. also attempted to sway Russian elections. In 1996, with the presidency of Boris Yeltsin and the Russian economy flailing, President Clinton endorsed a $10.2-billion loan from the International Monetary Fund linked to privatization, trade liberalization and other measures that would move Russia toward a capitalist economy. Yeltsin used the loan to bolster his popular support, telling voters that only he had the reformist credentials to secure such loans, according to media reports at the time. He used the money, in part, for social spending before the election, including payment of back wages and pensions. The U.S. is no stranger to interfering in the elections of other countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
