Or you know, we could turn back the tide against the bigotry and retake the country before Trump and Co. push it off a ledge.
As we were told last week when it was confirmed the Hillary and DNC campaigns bought a Russian dossier on Trump....it's just opposition research.
We will have to wait for the hard copy evidence Papa took and or paid for foreign intelligence.
Because we already know just sitting down and talking with Russians is not illegal. We learned that last week.
Let me guess your interested in the downfall of the US?...
Now it is becoming entertaining to see the defense of the administration.
It will be even more entertaining 30 years from now when the history books declare how an entity like Trump caused the downfall of America through demagoguery, bigotry and dog-whistle racism. If CF still exists, we will know them by handle; one may be able to perceive them in person. As far as the real word goes, the States must double down on bigotry and division or it will implode. I am assuming Westerners like to go out with a bang as opposed to a whimper?

You mean the same kind of action that France is taking right now, while UK does the same with it's surveillance programs (IRC)?Absolutely not, as much of my family is from the States.
However, I won't be ignorant of what is going on, precisely because I have familiar investments in the country. The country has already let the terrorists win by enacting the very draconian rule that Americans swore would never penetrate their freedom. Right now, a farce is going on to distract the people from the collapse of a modern empire. It really isn't anything new; it is a predictable and exploitable paradigm shift unfortunately.
I would like to be optimistic and say that things can change, but I strongly believe it is way too late. Everyone must double down on their own particular brand of division - because there is nothing left for individuals in the falling empire.
I thought the same thing when Trump and Clinton were running, but I refuse to surrender. We were going to get a basket of deplorable policies regardless but I don't believe we are without hope. Clean out the Congress and the country will be saved, it's time.Absolutely not, as much of my family is from the States.

I feel your pain but there are some things working for us, one, Trump can't do much. Secondly our economy is doing just fine, maybe better then ever, in spite of Trump. I do believe we are on the decline as a nation and while that is sad, it took Rome longer to fall then we have been a nation.Well, that is good that you have optimism in your fellow countrymen.
Don't confuse optimism for delusion; after a certain amount of refuse, you have to see humanity (or, at least a culture that grossly, vociferously, ignorantly and unapologetically presents itself) for what it is - spiritual and social dereliction with the hauteur of an Olympian.
EDIT: I have a socially cynicval view of humanity, which does not only include Americans, or the West.
The whole lot of us is terribly and terrifyingly lost.

I think Donny Jr came clean up front and early. What Kushners have to deal with this case is unknown right now. They may be under executive privilege if dealing directly with POTUS when he became POTUS.Consider what would happen if any of the following testifies before the committee: Trump, Jr, Pence, Ivanca and Kushner.
It seems likely that some of them would be caught up in lies severe enough to prosecute. Of course, Trump could pardon them when convicted.
Tell me about that. Just updated my security clearance for my job. I had to claim family BBQs with my buddies wife who is German and a legal resident here.It's not illegal to meet with foriegn national but you have to include that in the national security application.
Well not yet.An investigation into a savings and loan scam results in an impeachment over personal indiscretions that were completely unrelated. Your not comparing apples to apples
The Paula Jones suit was dismissed as frivolous and Monica Lewinsky was based on someone listening illegally. It was all politics, Republicans have a nerve to compare this to that. Trump and his associates aware doing something that reeks of greed and corruption, where is that famous indignation over character now? Silence.Well not yet.
BTW Clinton was impeached on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice. Related to false testimony over sexual assault claims by Paula Jones.
You are correct it had nothing to do with the original scope of the SP office.
Impeachment of Bill Clinton - Wikipedia
Sessions met with the Russian ambassador and Flynn was a Forign agent who was clearly compromised. They don't adhere to normative standards. There are consequences it just takes longer with the White House.Tell me about that. Just updated my security clearance for my job. I had to claim family BBQs with my buddies wife who is German and a legal resident here.
I even claimed knowing a Russian born but US Army officer I recently trained. They will stop an investigation cold now if they think you had foreign contacts outside of normal military or diplomatic work.
One of my warrant officers had his security clearance stopped because he mentioned visiting Korea with his wife. Then did not claim his Korean in laws.
That's how much of the colonoscopy tube is used on regular Joes getting a clearance. Yet influence peddlers like Manafort and Podesta get an easy nod.
Drain the swamp. All of them.

No priors. Already complied with the SP office handing over hundreds of documents. Although a slime ball Manafort was compliant before the break in raid.
I get it the dude is dirty but had no priors and was cooperating.
If this was some liberal pol I'm sure you would be concerned the heavy hand of government coming down on such a person.
Why not a knock? They had warrants. You knock and if they refuse you bust the door down.
Very odd and all the privacy defenders are silent except for me.
Manafort is an influence peddler. He provided services for Dem and Rep campaigns and administrations before joining team Trump. Or was that fact lost on the comments you made?
