  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Earlier, Mifsud told the Post that he had "absolutely no contact" with the Russian government: "I am an academic, I do not even speak Russian."

What more proof does anyone need? We all know that Russians have not mastered the complexities of the English language so any meeting would be futile.

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.

What kind of attitude is that?! This is America! Home of the free and land of the brave! You can't compare us to Rome. We will fall much faster than Rome!

And he was hired by team Donald precisely because he was an influence peddler... or is that fact lost on the comments you made?

One has to wonder what kind of influence got Donald's attention...
It's rather curious, why do they uniformly lie about contact with Russia. Not China, not Ireland, no they want to lie through there teeth about what could easily be innocent conversations. This is a big no no when dealing with the FBI and prosecuters because automatically a red flag goes up, its called consciousness of guilt. What kills me is if Comey was fired, Trump says it's because his behaviour regarding the email scandle was inappropriate, it would be over right there. No, he goes on tv rambling about 'this Russer thing'. Forget about the bias in the media, they can just sit back and watch as they disrupt and discredit there own administration. What would be disturbing is if they were innocent, which begs the question, then why lie about it.

It's not illegal to meet with foriegn national but you have to include that in the national security application.

Correct. just as the clinton campaign, is supposed to file campaign expense reports, indicating money spent on research, which it appears they didnt do. Technically, this violates campaign finance laws.

And the Clinton campaign should be investigated for that... and had Clinton won, that investigation would certainly be the priority.

One can only hope. About time someone drained the swamp instead of trying to take it over...

Newsflash!!! Clinton lost and her political career is over. This pants on fire Trump administration hasn't made it a year and three felony indictments, one already plead guilty to lying. Guess what he lied about, Russia. We're not talking about something technically illegal, these are criminal indictments.

You may have misunderstood what he meant by draining the swamp. Its not the power brokers, deep state or lobhyists. When Sadam Huisein was fighting the Kurds he drained a swamp to get at the then gased them. He is just expressing a ruthless willingness to devstate a natural environment to punish anyone who wont submit to his will.

This Howy Kurtz on George

....What strikes me is that for those characters in the Trump orbit who were interested in colluding with Russia, they weren’t very good at it. Not much, as far as we know now, ever got done.

For instance, Papadopoulos said in one email that he had been introduced to Vladimir Putin’s niece. Except that, as a brief online search would have revealed, Putin doesn’t have a niece.....

.....Scottish professor Joseph Mifsud told the Daily Telegraph that he knew nothing about digging up Hillary dirt and that it was a "laughing stock" to say he had introduced Papadopoulos to a Russian female national.

Earlier, Mifsud told the Post that he had "absolutely no contact" with the Russian government: "I am an academic, I do not even speak Russian."

So Papadopoulos appears to have been a lousy colluder."

Russia probe reveals the gang that couldn't collude straight

Given the level of incompetence shown by the Trump administration, why does any of that surprise you...?

Well that explains quite a lot about your views.

It explains a lot if you let emotional superficiality dictate your analysis.

My cynicism is not causing America to collapse; America is doing that. My cynicism is a motivational predictor of human behvaior and reliability for me. It isn't my fault that people keep vindicating my cynicism by doing the things I mentioned before. Destabilization brings out the worst in people - usually unconsciously - and, that includes ignorance.

Humans don't have to prove me right; using my philosophy on people in order to deflect from the abysmal state of the union (which I explicitly explained) is a tyro attempt to ignore the truth of the state of matters.

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.
The Jones case was not dismissed.

"These charges stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones. "

From the link I provided in the previous post.

That is a defeatist and substantatively complacent reaponse to a situation that requires incredible cognition, attention and analysis.

What does and doesn't work for me doesn't stop the cllapse of the States, ignorance of the state of America (especially if it is your nation) and complacency in being enslaved by the very system your nation has sworn never to emulate.

The reason why it will get worse is because very few people realize they are in boiling water.

It says in the first paragraph that it was dismissed but on appeal when Clinton agreed to a settlement, aren't you even reading your own source material.
