That has nothing to do with my point. I’ve never said anything except that the Russians interfered, that their actions had results, and that this should be stopped.
The world is not 100% for you or 100% against you. If I say that you’re analyzing the data wrong, that doesn’t mean that the reverse of everything you think and believe is correct. It just means that you’re some percentage off from correct (as I see it). I can be on your side and still say that you’re wrong.
Where did you see me say anything different? I have no idea why you personalized this. I didn’t. I do think you tend to minimize the extent of the Russian involvement – and result – via Facebook.
ETA: I wasn’t being snarky, just sharing information I thought you might not have. I’m sorry if you took it otherwise.
Trump may beoffering to talkto Mueller directly. I’m sure that with his propensity for truth telling that this would go well for him. Or he’s already been subpoenaed to talk, and is making it look like he is volunteering like his son did.
I think we all got blindsided by how effective Facebook memes are in setting public opinion. I’m often amazed by the utter ignorance being passed off as fact and people getting totally outraged by things that aren’t even true. Did you know that Congress stole $2.1 trillion for Social Security? Of course not. Social Security surpluses were invested in T-bills and will cash them in like any other investor. But thanks to Facebook, thousands of voters think that Nancy Pelosi stole their retirement from them. Multiply this by all the phony outrageous lies that are out there, target them to the most susceptible audiences in key states, and you can (and did) steal the White House.
If you’re wondering why Trump has been attacking NBC lately, it’s probably because they were about to report this.
"Paul Manafort, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, has much stronger financial ties to a Russian oligarch than have been previously reported.
An NBC News investigation reveals that $26 million changed hands in the form of a loan between a company linked to Manafort and the oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a billionaire with close ties to the Kremlin.
The loan brings the total of their known business dealings to around $60 million over the past decade, according to financial documents filed in Cyprus and the Cayman Islands."
He’s attacking NBC because he’s in a personal fued with Joe and Mika. Beyond that, though, he’s at war with the media. He wants to shut them up because he wishes he had dictatorial powers.
Manafort and Flynn are probably in some trouble, though Trump might reward them with pardons - who knows?
What I am increasingly concerned about is that this investigation could lead to a constitutional crisis the likes of which this country has never seen. Mueller could put evidence before the Congress and the people implicating Trump and his business empire, and I’m not sure what effect it would have. I just don’t see tens of millions of people who voted for Trump sitting quietly while congress tries to remove him. The Bannon and Trump wing of the country is probably 25-35% of the active electorate, but that’s enough to create political chaos, and from that chaos could emerge a political monster.
It doesn’t matter what is in Mueller’s report, congress will never try to remove Trump. Period.
And it’s a bit late worrying about political monsters. There’s one already sitting in the Oval Office. Chances are he is going to stay there as long as he wants.
***President Donald Trump’s former press secretary Sean Spicer met with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team on Monday for an interview that lasted much of the day, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting.
During his sitdown, Spicer was grilled about the firing of former FBI director James Comey and his statements regarding the firing, as well as about Trump’s meetings with Russians officials including one with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Oval Office, one person familiar with the meeting said.***
Notably, this is thesame Spicer who “documented everything” and “filled notebook after notebook”.
Did you know that GW Bush and Obama never ever once called or communicated with the families of fallen military service members? President Trump said that, so it must be true.
There is no lie big enough that the Trump sheeple will not believe it. A certain percentage of people are gullible, easily led morons, and Trump is cashing in big-time on this fact.
Is it possible that the Trump administration will finally kill that stupid notion that Republicans respect the troops more than Democrats? It kind of has to, right? Right? Please? … ::
