    Was it or wasn't it a campaign finance violation?

    Actually that is not the case. When the constitution was written, individual crimes were not necessarily codified. The framer's understood that people in these positions had the ability to abuse their position against the interests of the country and for personal gain. "High crimes and...

    Tim Pool breaks down if Antifa are terrorist or authoritarian

    As someone whose politics clearly lean left, I wish more people on the left would listen to what Tim Pool has to say in this video. I am so tired of seeing my real-life friends support Antifa for no reason other than that they are anti-Trump. I myself have been called a Nazi sympathizer by a...

    Trump's bank records show no evidence of Russia connection, according to Deutsche Bank

    Then why did you highlight a sentence saying that Trump's connection to a single known money laundering action lacks evidence? Shouldn't you have highlighted a sentence that said there is no evidence connecting Trump to any Russian money in any Deutsch Bank transaction?

    Trump's bank records show no evidence of Russia connection, according to Deutsche Bank

    So Deutsche Bank says they don't see a connection between Trump and ONE PARTICULAR RUSSIAN MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME THEY FACILITATED therefore Trump is connected to no Russian money at Deutsche Bank??

    Press Conference of Trump's Attorney

    Yes, it definitely isn't because Trump sang much praise about Putin when it was politically expedient. Definitely wasn't when Trump answered Bill O'Reilly's question on the topic with "you think out hands are clean?" It definitely wasn't when Trump said that the recommendation for firing Comey...

    Comey Himself Was Memo Leaker, Was Also Pressured By Lynch AG RE: Hillary

    Yes, when Comey said Lynch, pressured him to use a different word a year ago, that definitely happened. When Comey said Trump pressured him to drop an investigation a couple of months ago, it could have just been that Comey remembered it wrong. I guess you just can't trust Republican...

    Comey expected to refute Trump

    You might want to look up "Omnibus Clause 18 USC 1503" because you got that one very, VERY wrong.

    Comey expected to refute Trump

    18 USC 1503(a), specifically: This is applicable because Trump attempted to quash the investigation into Flynn in order to protect "a great guy". That's corruptly influencing the due administration of justice.

    Comey Himself Was Memo Leaker, Was Also Pressured By Lynch AG RE: Hillary

    Oh, good, then perhaps you can tell us what part of 5 USC 552b(c) prevented Comey from disclosing these notes given that 5 USC 552b(k) specifically gives him the right to make them. The Government works for us. We paid for that computer.

    CNN Went Overboard With This Fake News Story

    Your attempts to find an unbiased site are commendable, but you did not find one here. It's an obviously conservative biased site. If you want to see it plain as day, go look at their "Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs" page. Here's a hint: liberals do believe in personal responsibility, that...

    CNN Went Overboard With This Fake News Story

    Yeah, posting a link to a site with a clear conservative bias isn't going to win you any converts. Come on, they event contradict themselves: Okay, got it: avoid bias; report facts. The Guardian's good reporting: Isn't approaching news from a "point of view" other than neutral going to be...

    An amazing moment in history: Donald Trump's press conference | CNN

    This sort of stuff is just too surreal. Take a look at their very first "egregious lie". CNN literally tweeted "After the [Iowa Caucus], [Ben Carson] plans to take a break from campaigning". This was on a Monday. In the accompanying news report, they say that he will be at the National Prayer...

    The Politics of Climate Change: How Data Is Being Manipulated To Fit A Theory

    Okay, so let's just run through a few checks to see if your underlying knowledge matches this claim. Okay, sounds like you're drifting towards making an Anthropic Principle argument, but I think we can all agree that the sun is the primary driver of the climate. It sounds like you're trying...

    Trump announces 35% tax on companies leaving US

    Oh mean like when Bush slapped a tariff on imported steel in 2002 so American steel companies raised their prices to match the new imported steel price... but then because they compete with one another the price of steel came back down? Oh, wait... that last part never happened. It took a ruling...

    Which Trump Promises Should Be Counted On?

    Okay, I'll be simplistic: the US could increase its energy production to meet its needs and the Middle East could still massively drive prices up by cutting production. The US simply cannot supply oil to the entire world and US businesses are not so patriotic as to sell oil domestically at...

    The Official Donald Trump Flip-Flop Thread

    You mean the Alexander Hamilton who believed that we should only have unpledged electors who are not bound to a particular candidate, but would be most capable of evaluating which candidate was best qualified and would make the choice for President themselves - and therefore could reject a...

    People saying Hillary should have won the election because of the popular vote,

    That logic is so strained. Yes, that could happen in theory but it's completely unrealistic. Why on earth would 200 million people want to be crowded into a single state? Why would those 200 million people vote the same way? Is there a single very populous state today that is politically...

    Which Trump Promises Should Be Counted On?

    Unfortunately while that makes for great campaign trail rhetoric, the issue is so much more complex than that. The United States is a fairly large exporter of fossil fuels and most oil used in the U.S., 75%, was produced here as well. While it is convenient to argue that increased domestic...

    People saying Hillary should have won the election because of the popular vote,

    You don't seem to understand what "popular vote" means. The winner of a popular vote is the person who gets the most votes. This is true in Senate and House races even though it's fairly common for the winner to get fewer than half of all votes (e.g. 2008 Minnesota Senate race, both Franken and...
