    Can someone post a “we need more than two political parties in the U.S.” thread?

    Trump is an absolute moron. He also makes this country look like a fast food, reality TV show, spectacle.

    The Clintons are corrupt and have made money off of politics we get it. She isn’t in charge of anything anymore though.

    Clinton fooled Russia into thinking that donating money to a charity would give them political access.

    We now know that Clinton's campaign funded research into Donald Trump. The firm which conducted this research just so happens to be involved in legal cases involving Russia, and likely has many Russian clients, some of whom may directly know Vladimir Putin.

    I believe we now know AFTER the initial research was complete Clinton donors funded additional research after Trump won the nomination.

    Honestly, I suspect that research and background investigation of an opponent in a Presidential election is probably fairly common.

    The issue I have with all of this is the complete lack of transparency and lack of accountability.

    I suspect that Muller is going to find a lot of questionable behavior on both sides of the aisle.

    I haven't followed all the details but how is this a Clinton-Russia link? If anything its the opposite. The Republicans funded this until Trump won and then the Democrats funded it. And it was funded to expose Russia-Trump links so how does this somehow connect Clinton to Russia?

    Clinton's efforts to investigate connections between Trump and Russia are highly suspect. One might suppose that it was somehow connected to the CLINTON FOUNDATION and their notorious efforts around the world to raise money for dubious causes. Could Vladimir Putin have made a private donation to the CLINTON FOUNDATION that was never disclosed and never directly benefits the Clintons so that they would then turn around and investigate Donald J. Trump's campaign connections to Vladimir Putin? It seems highly probably at this point that Mr. Putin then whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror. If anything Putin could say that this cab was rare, but he thought "Nah, forget it, yo comrade, to Bel-Air!" He pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and he yelled to the cabbie "Yo comrade, assassinate ya later." Looked at his kingdom, he was finally there to sit on his throne as the Prince of Bel-Air.

    Anything to deflect from the clown show so-called President. I get a kick out of the Fox News headlines that roll across my news feed.

    Trump and his supporters efforts at false equivalence. One story is about Trump's campaign alleged collusion with Russians to influence the American presidential election. The other story is about Democrats allegedly taking over the funding of opp research with someone from Great Britain. See, the same thing? :rolleyes:

    No worries, Sean Hannity has put together a crack team led by Sheriff David Clarke to investigate.

    Ask the operators that survived Benghazi if they think justice was served. They are easy to find on Facebook.

    The depths that some of you schlurpers go to defend our Debaser-in-Chief is comically embarassing and says more about you than you have the mental capacity to realize.

    Thank god for anonynmity, right?
