Trump would take foreign help in election and not tell FBI: "They have information. I think I'd take it"

He's really stuck on the point that Hilary was "arrogant", to the point where it is his go to point every time, obsessively. The fact that America elected someone much worse than Hilary in every negative topic makes his obsession just seem all the more sad.
It’s sad that people keep making excuses for her.

oh, and a few vocal minority of Republicans went off the rails?! LOL....yea right. He's just left without a party now, kinda a limbo mode for him.
wut?

Just look how he discounts the religious in this country like the republican party isn't overwhelming religious nutters.
Who?

The GOP has been scum since Gingrich, at least.
. Gingrich was the mirror image of the President he opposed.

You can't say that the wave of democratic socialism wouldn't have occurred w/o Trump. We'll spend years recovering from wrong headed Trump/GOP policy & decades recovering from their court packing strategy.
Court packing is attempting to add seats to SCOTUS. Appointing judges is not packing. Obstructing the appointment of judges is obstruction.

80% of the population lives in urban areas. Conservatism obviously extends into those areas or we wouldn't have the representation that we do.
The NY Times has an interesting infographic on this, I need to find it.

Hey stop asking excuses!

Lol

While this test is by no means scientific since I cannot see Starbucks post count.
I did a search for Hillary on my profile. Page five was dated May 2017


Same Hillary search for Starbuck page five was dated October 2018.

Starbuck mentions Hillary 3x more than me.

Wish I had time I’d run more searches be interesting to know the percent of Hillary mentions vs total posts, particularly P&N posts
Or better how may days between Hillary mentions


*starbuck has about half the total posts I have.

Important edit, looking on my iPad instead of phone revels the searches are not in date order. I’ll mess with this on a proper computer.

More quick stuff:

Doing an advanced search - search threads - do not search child forums - order by date.

Assumption made:
40 results per page. I counted several on my iPad and they were all 40 post per page, 5 pages of results = 200 post.

Search term was: Hillary Clinton, this does a wild card where “Clinton” could be the only term in the post.

Some rounding of the percentages


Starbuck has 264 posts regarding the above search 264/10,640 (total posts as of now) means that 2.48% of Starbucks posts mention the search words

Fanatical Meat (me):
175 posts regarding same search term
175/20,269 (total posts as of now, not including this post) = 0.85% of my posts involve the searched term.

If my figures are completely off base someone please call me out, I’ll edit.

She lost we’ve moved on.
It’s rare I see a progressive talking about Hillary.
It is common to see you.
She lost, election is over, she’s not running again.
I didn’t bring her up. I don’t believe I’ve ever started a thread on her, at least not in recent years or even during the election. This line of discussion actually started with Bill Clinton, but the two are inseparable. I am happy to challenge when people make excuses for the Clintons.

Except FM and I weren't. You just felt the need to interject with your same ole song and dance because your obsessive Clinton hangups.

Of course you are. The GOP has ensured that your brain is stuck on full stupid and that "blithering mode" is engaged whenever the "Clinton" word taps onto your ear drums. This is what decades of absorbing mindless self-proving bullshit has done for you.

Congratulations, I guess.

lol @ this guy being an "independent"

Hillary hate is an all purpose duh-version for some. Merely mention she who must not be named & they'll try to make the discussion about how much they hate her.

Meanwhile Trump is bullshitting like a motherfucker to walk back his original remarks, ignoring completely the idea that candidates must actively avoid receiving information from foreign govts & their emissaries.

It's good to see that Wray isn't running cover for Trump, either.

If that were true, then you should be able to easily find posts by me blithering about Obama or any number of the Democrat frontrunners. Yet I support the movement started by Sanders and would vote for Warren if given the opportunity. I was largely quiet during the Obama years because I was largely indifferent to his leadership.

I have a complete lack of respect for the Clintons and the era of third way triangulation they helped usher in.

You hear what you want to hear because you, like many others here, have been triggered into impotent rage mode since Trump pissed on the coronation.

You should be mad at Congress, not me.

Is it too late for me to reverse the script and get in on some of that sweet correct the record cash? Because only the best Democrats hire former GOP operators to launch misinformation social media campaigns.

Yes, we know you hate she who must not be named with the burning heat of 1000 suns. So what? Do you have something to say about the topic at hand other than back handed bothsiderism?

What is there left to discuss? Trump does an interview with Stephanopoulos, not exactly friendly territory. He makes yet another outlandish and irresponsible statement, Stephanopoulos gets to play the role of hard hitting journalist, but at the end of the day, nothing changes, and all that happens is the story consumes a few news cycles. Liberals shake their fists, Trumpers rationalize or defend him, and Congress continues to sit on its hands. Did I miss anything?

Yes if the Democrats ran a better candidate we wouldn’t have Trump.
Everything is the Democrats fault always.


I love when people say that like the RNC had no control over whom they chose to be their candidate and all the Retarded Agents & Deplorables that voted for Trump had nothing to do with it.
