President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[SCcoug]

Because that is not a real party with real ideas.

It's a real mystery why they're not taken seriously.

[Uncle Ted]

Anyone else seeing this #TheResistance or #Resistance hashtag popping up all over? It's like a liberal Tea Party. If the Democrats encourage this, it'll be like they took stupid pills from the last election and double down on alienating suburban and rural whites.

You can blame Roger Waters...

I guess he is considering a Trump Protest concert on the U.S.-Mexico border. :rockon2:

Was he one of Gary Johnson's primary challengers?

He might have been better than Gary Johnson.

When I think about who has brought more enjoyment into my life, Donald Trump or Roger Waters, Donald Trump is a flea. I'm all in on team Waters.

If Waters could get Gilmour to participate I would be all in, too.

Which would be Vice President?

That's the problem with those two.

I didn’t think I’d ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit.

From even more Russia stories coming out today it's making me think this thing is going to become a pretty big deal. Apparently the FBI showed its evidence to the Senate Intelligence Committee last week and since then, members of that committee from both parties seem pretty serious and are talking about a full bipartisan investigation. We already know Flynn talked with Russian officials about sanctions. We also know Trump's team was talking with Russian intelligence throughout the campaign. That's a little weird, IMO. Common sense says what Trump has said about Putin and Russia all along doesn't make much sense to most Americans. The story below gives a legal explanation of what the NSA is allowed to do when an American citizen is involved. We'll see what happens, but I don't think this is going to end well for Trump. Imagine how Republicans would be responding now if something like this had turned up under Obama.

Politically I haven't been a big fan of McCain or Lindsey Graham over the years because of what I see as some over the top hawkish tendencies. I have always thought highly of McCain in terms of his service and absolute loyalty to the country however. But recently I have gained even more respect for him and Graham for wanting to put partisanship aside to get to the bottom of this troubling Russia issue.

I am not exonerating Trump but asking a question.

If I understand it correctly, Flynn's sin is either, he lied to VP Pence, or he spoke to the Russian ambassador and said something like this, "don't worry about the sanctions as we will address them when we are in office." Correct?

Is that the sum total? And Trump either didn't know what was going on, or knew explicitly?

I do not exonerate Trump for lying, but why is it a surprise during transition that somebody might say, "we will look at sanctions when we take control"? Doesn't every administration look at matters anew, especially when a new party is taking over?

I see the outrage from everybody on the left, but you as a libertarian, why is this outrageous and not expected? Or do you believe, Flynn said, "done deal Komrad, thanks for the pay-off, we will get you your money back"?

I think there is a pretty good reason to think it goes way beyond that, given the sudden change in attitude by Republicans on the Intelligence Committee since the FBI showed them what they have last week.
