We know where Trump stands on Putin. There's a ton of evidence Rohrabacher has been acting like Putin's lobbyist. Now why would a CA legislator have such an intense interest in Putin's interests?
And if it was an innocent joke, why lie about it until you were caught and only then claim it was a joke? |

He's probably figured out which countries don't have extradition treaties with us.
Anyway, good riddance. |

Well... to be fair, it could have been political suicide when that article was written last year. If it weren't for everything else about Trump that would likely come into play. It was worthwhile, most importantly, BECAUSE of Trump's character and history. Even if it ended up turning up nothing directly, serious investigation was fairly certain to find a lot of other dirt. And... hey, look. We immediately got a bunch of Trump officials who committed perjury about their connections to Russia as something of an opening reward, before getting to the rest of the more recent theatrics. The focus is no longer much on Russian hacking anymore, so it's long past time to ditch the political suicide talk. It's not on the jobs that most of the people actually want... but Trump was never qualified to do good by the economy in the first place, and just keeps proving that. Cuts to food stamps, for example, are a huge step in the exact wrong way, both short term and long term.

I think of it more as a pseudo-left-wing version of PressTV.

I know the Russians very well and even know more about the capabilities of their own aircraft and missiles considering their press conferences regarding their own Su-25 and air-to-air and ground-to-air missiles and the MH-17 incident. The Russians were so sloppy, they even depicted the wrong model aircraft during their press conference and that is the same Russia that helped placed Trump in the White House. Let's also remember that Trump has had the lowest approval rating of any new president in recent memory and he continues to lie on a regular basis. To sum it up, Trump is totally unfit to be president and has now made the United States a laughingstock. . |

Dershowitz is making the CNN/Fox news rounds ranting Trump's civil liberties are being denied and he's outraged. He's claiming even firing Comey to stop the investigation wasn't illegal because Trump had the right.
Tucker Carlson is sucking it up, it's fine for the Trump campaign to collude with the Russians because it wasn't illegal. Good grief. Do you think he's applying for a WH job? |

CNN is reporting that Russians bragged about their relationship with Flynn and how they could use him to influence Trump.

Earlier in another thread, Emily's Cat and I had an exchange...
... which I said I'd follow-up here. While it defies credulity that you're unaware of these widely known facts, proof for this claim is in the OP of this thread. I noticed that while I was away, you foisted the truly sorry he's just a ********ter as a counter. I'm hoping you've reconsidered this nonsense, and then we can cover the other claims one by one. Otherwise I will defer to your impermeability. |

Speaking of which, my list is in need of update. Here's the mounting circumstantial evidence, additions in blue.

Putin wants regime change in America and Ukraine, in the same way as the Pentagon and Israel and Saudi Arabia and Mrs. May want regime change in Syria and Iran and Russia, with Assad must go, so that the anti-Christian Al Qaeda head choppers of Isis and Al-Nusra can take control in Damascus.
