    The article is silly, of course. That being said it isn't calling for Trump to be executed with no evidence of wrongdoing. It clearly said, if he was convicted in a court of law, so that would mean there had to be evidence that would eliminate all reasonable doubt.

    Well there is currently no evidence of wrongdoing yet it's still speculating that he's guilty of treason and fantasizing about a scenario where he'd be executed. It's just irresponsible....and it would be irresponsible if that kind of speculation was made about anyone when there's 0 evidence of wrongdoing.

    Were you that upset about Rep. Allen West's campaign representative talked about "if ballots don't work, bullets will"?

    I did not care for that either. Both are incredibly irresponsible.

    Probably deserves it's own thread, but in the "hey, nice country ya got there!" files.

    Report: Evidence links Russia to dozens of international assassinations since 2003.
    (Buzz Feed and USA Today, using intelligence reports shared between US and our at least one-time allies)

    Wait, wait, let me go ahead and reply to this for y'all! I save us a lot of trouble.
    1. B-Bob, the cold war is over. Russia is friendly now. Get over it!
    2. Well, maybe not "friendly" but you think we don't do the same ****? Where is your outrage about the CIA in Latin America?

    (evidence presented of outrage about CIA and taxpayer money leading to assassinations)

    3. Well... yeah, whatever, man. Y'all calling Trump a Russian special agent is stupid.

    (we never called Trump a Russian special agent. That strawman is really not what this about, for the billionth time)

    4. Well... um, whatever, man. Good luck with this waste of energy, liberals. America does not care.

    Yes, that is the cycle of any Trump/Russia thread that is set to repeat. Nicely done.

    There is lots of evidence of wrong doing.

    Flynn, Sessions, his campaign manager, Kushner hiding meetings with the Russians...tons of evidence, but the juice stuff is still to come, people forget it took about 2 years to get to the bottom of the Nixon Watergate deal, this is much bigger and deeper, and when it is done, no one will be lying about a lack of evidence - it is there now already, and it will only get worse.

    add Russia-born Felix Sater to the network

    http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/how...er-sought-to-protect-ukraines-nuclear-plants/

    in 2007, Sater was convicted of stock fraud; the Mafia provided the pump and dump and Safter his $ laundering skills

    he was not jailed immediately, cos he was willing be a snitch for the CIA;

    he helped the CIA to buy back stolen US made arms/ammunitions in the black market in Afghanistan.
    he had to pay a fine for his involvement in the stock fraud scheme, was never jailed.

    he then got involved w Trump on several RE development projects, including the Trump Soho building w financing from Russian co's

    A RICO lawsuit against Sater's co has been allowed to proceed; in it, a former employee of Sater's co, involved w the Trump Soho project, has testified that

    there were multiple bids (from Russian co) to provide the financing, the winning bid was selected on the basis that it had closer ties to Putin.

    So, do we believe Trump when he says he is not involved in Russia, or do we believe Trump when he says it would be ridiculous for him to not have invested in Russia? The answer is... follow the money. Lengthy look at Trump's dealings with Russia from an insiders view...

    The investigation and testimony continues. Here's a funny exchange between Bill Priestap, assistant director of the FBI’s counter-intelligence division and Senator Martin Heinrich (D) of New Mexico:

    Despite Trump's insistence that this is all a witch hunt and his determination to ignore Russia's efforts...

    For the longest time the Trumpanzee defense was that the votes weren't hacked and it turns out the voting machines were hacked. So why wasn't there an investigation to see if actual votes were hacked?

    Wow, that cartoon comes from the bizarro planet. It's the opposite of reality.

    Do you actually believe these comics? They don't even have any wit to them. It just literally paints a obvious biased reality that I hope you would understand is bullshit.

    Are you aware of any evidence of Trump campaign collusion with Russia? If so, please inform us. Because thus far even the high ranking democrats in the house and senate have admitted they have seen zero evidence of collusion at this time.

    Additionally, as bad as the leaks are within the intelligence community, if the FBI or the special counsel investigation found any evidence of collusion you can bet we would have heard about it.

    This Russia collusion narrative was created to detract, distract, and degrade Trump's ability to press forward on his agenda.
