also im very surprised KK is promoting this


Don't call me that and I promote the truth in everything I do.


but you realize this doesn't make Trump look good, right?

Yeah seriously. Maybe he thought he was on his alt.


Derp. I have no alt. I post breaking news stories when I can. This is big news.

The only way you wouldn't have an alt is if your main was banned

Also remember when you said the memo was going to be huge and totally change everything and people were going to go to jail because of it? Lmfao

Rosenstein said that this specific indictment didn't have to do with any American citizens. He didn't up and say that there was nothing there entirely, only as it pertained to this specific indictment.

So given the history of special councils, when we're in year 3 of Trump's presidency and there's still no charges, are we then allowed to start laughing openly?

Usually the only reason I jump in on interpreting information is because partisan politics have ALREADY biased it and I'm just tipping the scales. For example: The TC indicated that the russian people indicted:
during which they boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump.


What the TC failed to mention (see post https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/76325730#19) is that the group being indicted bought facebook ads, MOST of which were either pro-hillary or pro-BLM, and only a couple that supported Trump, because their goal was to divide the country.

My stance has been pretty consistently "Trump does enough dumb shit on his own, so stop making up more shit because it weakens your entire platform." I'd rather people judge him on his actual actions and not spinning reality to turn him into Hitler.

No, YOU guys have been saying 'any day now' since before inauguration.

I've been saying 'where's the evidence Trump was involved?' This indictment suggests there still is none, yet you got people in this thread hoping for Trump's death as a result.

Bullshit. Your entire stance to defend Trump at every moment and consistently attack "leftist/liberals/sjws/etc" over some victim complex you have where you view any criticism from them, legit or not, as complete bullshit that you need to attack.

Let the investigation play out. I'll make my conclusion after the special prosecutor is finished, as well as after I get to see all the documents as best as possible. Oh, and people hoping for Trumps death are stupid.

If you think he's innocent then you have nothing to worry about

Indictments don't, but Facebook has already revealed all the ads purchased BY the agency being indicted. I linked to them earlier in the topic. You can decide exactly what you think "most" is in terms of percentage, but it's very clearly over 50%. Maybe try reading the topic first before saying shit like this.

Funny, because in this topic I'm providing sourced information to back up my claims, and you're attacking my character based on whatever label you've decided best allows you to ignore what I'm saying, so between the two of us and how we're actually behaving, I'm inclined to think maybe you're just not entirely honest.

When will the backpedaling, goalpoast moving, lying antics of the alt-right end? It's been a continual conga line of scapegoating since this whole thing started.

"There was no collusion with the Russian."
"Okay, so one of our aides colluded with the Russians, no one else did."
"But Hillary."
"Okay, so some of the inner circle that we dumped for absolutely seperate reasons months ago was colluding with the Russians. We weren't."
"Okay, so maybe there is a small chance that several others were colluding with the Russians, but there is absolutely no proof that Trump or his family was involved."
"But Hillary's emails."
"It's not illegal to collude with the Russians."
"Okay so people are getting arrested for colluding with the Russians. Trump won't be though."
"But Obama."
...

No American has been arrested for colluding with the Russians.

Stop deflecting to the schools. The education system has issues, but people acting stupid is on the people. A lot of students are more interested in Instagram, Twitter and their online persona instead of cracking open a god damn book or joining a sports or academic team. This doesnt even touch upon the fact that parenting and close friends also play a significant role in students lives.

It's a reference to the 2012 election debate when Romney called Russia our greatest geo-political threat facing America and Obama told him the Cold War was over. It's used by Trump toadies to point out hypocrisy while completely ignoring events that had happened since the time Obama made that comment, such as the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Odd because in 2014 Obama thinks that Russia going after Crimea is evidence of their overall weakness.

With respect to Mr. Romneys assertion that Russia is our number one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that America has got a whole lot of challenges. Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors not out of strength but out of weakness. Ukraine has been a country, [over] which Russia had enormous influence for decades, since the breakup of the Soviet Union. We have considerable influence on our neighbors; we generally dont need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. The fact that Russia felt compelled to go in militarily and lay bare these violations of international law indicates [that they have] less influence, not more.

No, Crimea kinda proves Romney was right.

i dont recall the exact context in which that was said or what it was about, specifically. but if Obama somehow implied that we shouldn't do anything about Russia ever, then I'd say he was wrong.

It's a reference to the 2012 election debate when Romney called Russia our greatest geo-political threat facing America and Obama told him the Cold War was over. It's used by Trump toadies to point out hypocrisy while completely ignoring events that had happened since the time Obama made that comment, such as the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

No, Crimea kinda proves Romney was right.


I never said that he wasn't. I was instead saying that Obama making that comment in 2012 leaves out the context of Russian action since 2012 and is used as a way to discredit him.

But yes, Obama was wrong and Romney was correct there.

According to your Messiah Obama, Romney was a buffoon when said we should worry about Russia.

And when Obama doubled down in 2014 by saying that Russia invading Crimea means that they are a weak regional power and therefore he was right in 2012?

Odd because in 2014 Obama thinks that Russia going after Crimea is evidence of their overall weakness.

With respect to Mr. Romneys assertion that Russia is our number one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that America has got a whole lot of challenges. Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors not out of strength but out of weakness. Ukraine has been a country, [over] which Russia had enormous influence for decades, since the breakup of the Soviet Union. We have considerable influence on our neighbors; we generally dont need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. The fact that Russia felt compelled to go in militarily and lay bare these violations of international law indicates [that they have] less influence, not more.


Yeah, that totally reads like political bullshit speak to me, something Obama certainly made a habit out of doing. It comes off, at least to me, as an attempt to basically discredit Russia to the world and basically say "they aren't shit, America is still on top" instead of propping them up.

There's no context to ignore. Obama said it, and it was a really fucking stupid thing to say in 2012. Then, in 2014, after Crimea, he doubled-down on that same rhetoric.

A source speaking to Bloomberg just said that Mueller hasn't yet determined if the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

Translation -- Mueller still has nothing on Trump - Russia.

And these latest indictments suggest he never will.

Obama is no one's messiah, and it looks like he was wrong and Romney was right. I give Romney credit, as much as I hated him at the time. I also didn't believe him, but it appears I should have.
