Don't know if there was a thread on this, but here's a link on republicans taking money from Putin in directly https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/...connects-russian-oligarch-money-gop-campaigns
So you're perfectly ok with the fact that Trump colluded with the Russians as long as that collusion was somehow less than Obama's or the Clintons?
And this is why I hate whataboutism. "My guy is just as bad as your guy which makes my guy better." Idiot.
First off its been a year and there is still no proof that trump colluded with the Russians. Nothing but mud slinging by the guys who lost.
where did I say i was ok with trump talking to the russians, please quote me. The things that you assholes assume on here is just mind boggling. I have no problem calling out wrong, i dont give a fuck who the person is or what stupid political party they are with. What i have issues with are the mindless drones (most of them democrats)in here who support and defend the party and their dear leaders at all cost. its downright scary how lock step some of the people are in here.

And now watch as the Trump admin spends the next 3 years chasing after their own Emmanuel Goldstein (aka Hillary) in order to distract the people from their own incompetence, corruption, and attacks on the Constitution.

remind me again what political party the Clinton Foundation is associated with? how many millions did the russians "Donate" to charity to grease the sitting secretary of state? Oh and lets add that all the Yellow Cake uranium the russians are mining in our country is being shipped out and nobody knows where its going.
"But Hillary!"Didn't Hillary say the point of 1984 was that people did not rely and trust our leaders enough?
Maybe, we should not trust our leaders so blindly, be it Hillary or Trump.

Remarkable. You previously asserted that the Russians financed Clinton via their "crooked" charity & that they were stealing our yellowcake. When challenged, you offered no proof as to the former & pointedly ignored acknowledging your mistake wrt to the latter-
But it's the other guys who are partisan & wrong, at least in your mind.
You're right about "proof of collusion"- kinda. I mean, Junior admitted that he showed up at a meeting with Russians in hopes of collusion but claims they didn't offer any... And it's perfectly obvious that Russia mounted an enormous propaganda campaign through social & state owned media designed to tear down Clinton on behalf of Trump. Donald even called out for their help but, uhh, never mind all of that.
"But Hillary!"
That's completely out of context-
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/sep/14/hillary-clinton-lesson-1984-trust-leaders-press/
So the link provide by you does not even give the quote. The full quote is basically saying we should use logic, reason, and trust our leaders and press. I find the logic and reason part... reasonable. The trusting of leaders and press is amazingly bad though. What press do you trust? What leader do you Trust?
Why not just use reason and logic to filter out BS in an attempt to find truth. I see no reason to trust the press or leaders. I do find value in reason and logic. If the press or any leadership goes against logic and reason then I want more than "ill drain the swamp, trust me".
and you really think she would admit to corruption in her taxes? how dumb do you think she is?

His son admitted to collusion... Pull your head out and come up for air.
The quote is right there in black & white. If you have something different, offer it up.
What's happened to us is that divisive right wing propagandists have perfected the art of spreading fear, uncertainty & distrust. It's deeper than you think because it affects people's basic attitudes about our country & each other. Those efforts are obviously not confined to American actors, either. Quite the contrary. Putin's Russia set out to mess with our minds & did so very effectively, carrying the message of irrational Hillary hate to new heights in social media right alongside those of the Repubs, the Alt-right & the Trump campaign.
The right wing has been spreading fud for a while now. They are indeed very good, but make no mistake the left is starting to use those same tools. The left has a very long way to go before they are even close, but the fact they too are inclined to follow that path is scary as hell. FEMA death camps, medical death panels ect are squarely lies from the Right.
What got the left was not the idea that Hillary was irrational, or that she was not qualified. What got her was the left being PC, and her connections to big corporations. The big corporations thing should have been easy to deal with, but she stayed away from it for the most part. The PC thing she could not touch.
Those in the middle were the ones the left needed to reach. Those on the right just like on the left had their man from the start no matter if it was person A or B. Those in the middle tuned out the left because for this election, they were just as crazy as the left in terms of supporters believing dumb shit. Once the left lost its cred with the middle, Trump seems like a gamble that could pay off. It wont of course, but they were willing to try. Nothing will change with Hillary, something might change with Trump.
Personally I would rather no progress than Trump.
Seriously, fuck you and your both sides bullshit.
Hillary also won moderates by 11 points so that blows away your other bullshit theory.
Eric Holder was the Attorney General when the FBI began uncovering the Russian corruption scheme in 2009. Since the FBI reports to him, he surely knew what the bureau had uncovered.
What’s more, Holder was a member of the “Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States” which approved the uranium sale to the Russians in 2010. Since the vote was unanimous, it appears Holder knowingly and deliberately countenanced a deal that was based on illegal activities and which gave Moscow control of more than 20 percent of America’s uranium assets.
It gets worse. Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during the time of the Russian uranium probe, and so was his successor James Comey who took over in 2013 as the FBI was still developing the case. Rod Rosenstein, then-U.S. Attorney, was supervising the case. There is no indication that any of these men ever told Congress of all the incriminating evidence they had discovered and the connection to Clinton. The entire matter was kept secret from the American public.
It may be no coincidence that Mueller (now special counsel) and Rosenstein (now Deputy Attorney General) are the two top people currently investigating whether the Trump campaign conspired with the Russians to influence the 2016 presidential election. Mueller reports to Rosenstein, while Comey is a key witness in the case.
It is not unreasonable to conclude that Mueller, Rosenstein and Comey may have covered up potential crimes involving Clinton and Russia, but are now determined to find some evidence that Trump “colluded” with Russia.
If you can believe that Bill Clinton is a proven rapist simply because he rode on a plane
People still trying to popular vote excuse I see. If that is what mattered, they both would have ran differently. They both knew the rules, that is what they went by. It is a little funny that Hillary is all about how you must take the election results, now doesn't want to. The left trying to take out the electoral process.
If none of this bothers the people claiming that this isn't a big deal, then you do not have any ground to stand on anything Trump/Russia related. It at least warrants looking into, dismissing it as it is nothing short of bias and shortsighted.
If you can believe that Bill Clinton is a proven rapist simply because he rode on a plane that some other dude often uses at other times to shuffle people off to rape island, yet deny any evidence of Trump collusion when we have documented, admitted, meetings between Trump Jr and Russian liaisons within Trump tower, a few floors from where Trump himself was supposedly sitting, then I wonder why you continue to think anyone takes you seriously?
Do you realize that your head is completely full of shit?
