    I have backed the wrong horse in an election before. Not even a big deal. I doubt I remain silent because of The Dufus, or YOU thinking I should because FACTS matter. Impeaching The Dufus is because he is a lying cheating CRIMINAL. As the evidence mounts, do you any that he is NOT as I say?

    Hard not to confront a DICTATOR who suppresses his people, jails and kills his opponents, even the ones abroad, seeks to expand his sphere of influence by military might, and weaponizes the internet to destabilize western democracy. I think he is asking for a confrontation. Your suggestion to leave him be is a parrot of insane blithering by our own homegrown idiot(s).

    You are not alone, and that's sad really.

    No obviously Trump has the same view because he has seen confrontationalism doesn't work Maybe he proceeds on the assumption that if you can't say anything good don't say anything at all. Putin is a problem for the Russians to solve not America. Trump is a problem for the americans to solve, not Russia. maybe Vlad has the answer, be nice. if the americans stopped interfering maybe Russia would too, Trump knows this

    The Dufus is an incompetent idiot who couldn't undo his own tie without extensive help. But at least you offer some basis for your assertion and I thank you for that. If you had listened carefully you would have heard Putin admit he wanted Dufus to win and he directed his flunkies to help him. Waiting for that to be caught and replayed a few times. Yes Putin has been a target for a long time to be eliminated from the national stage because he is a murderous dictator and has a big dangerous stick. But the real deal perspective is he hopes to regain all the money he has lost, and he just took the Kim playbook and made it so. Yep oldest motive in the world MONEY!

It didn't work in Syria either. Democracy will eventually give rise to dictators who will do away with democracy and again and again we go through the stages, democracy, republic, empire, autocracy, anarchy, monarchy, democracy, etc, not necessarily in that order

    The Dufus is propped up by his base of supporters and elected republican sycophants who quake in their boots at the idea of being seen going against him. I bet they are wondering how that base will react to the disgusting performance in Helsinki, and until they do know, they will be silent, but the next few days will be intriguing as he returns home to face the fallout. Meanwhile Mueller has DETAINED another Russian spy, this time on American soil and she has been indicted. A homecoming gift if you will.

    Yes.

    1. Established personal contact with Americans perceived as sympathetic to Moscow;
    2. Hacked the Democratic National Committee email servers and then gave the material to WikiLeaks;
    3. Amplified the propaganda value of the leaked emails with a disinformation campaign waged predominantly on Facebook and Twitter, in an effort to use automated bots to spread fake news and pro-Trump agitprop;
    4. Breached US voting systems in as many as 39 states leading up to the election, in an effort to steal registration data that officials say could be used to target and manipulate voters in future elections.

    It doesn't matter. Whether it changed minds or not, the Russians assaulted our election system and there should be hell to pay. The stunt in Helsinki pissed off a lot of Dufus sycophants. What they do about it is to be seen, but you should have known no way was The Dufus going to legitimize Mueller or the intel community in public. His whole narrative is it's a witch hunt, biased against him, and a democratic plot. His whole tap dance is about keeping him and his family out of JAIL!

    The question you should be asking is what was the deal that the Dufus and Putin agreed to behind closed doors with no witnesses? I suspect we may find out if it changed minds or not later, but for now stay focused on what's going on NOW! Like MORE indictments!

    You or nobody else can say if Russian actions changed minds or not at this point, or if influential Americans, or American organizations colluded with them.

    With The Dufus and his sycophants constantly cheering the Russians to find Clintons Emails and lock her up and all the wikleaks love promotion, NO DOUBT minds were changed or influenced. How many we can't know but for sure it played a huge role in key states, coupled with her own shortcomings she lost but not by much. Hardly a mandate from the people to act a blithering idiot.

    As we find out more facts on the extent of Russian meddling, it gets more insidious so the question of did it matter becomes even more stark. You damn skippy it mattered!
    No doubt minds were changed and poisoned. Be it FOR The Dufus, or AGAINST Hillary.

    Evidence mounts Russia meddled in US election - Business Insider
    so we went from hacking ;stealing ,colluding ,to trying to influence . That's what a year and half investigation buys us these days . And the Ruskies changed the outcome of the election by sending a clown car of operatives (dubbed the Illegals )like
    Anna Chapman ;who actually registered a burner phone to '99 Fake Street' .We're to believe they ran hacks out of Russian offices in the military and secret service without even attempting to disguise the source or ever the key strokes. They did all this agiprop ;hacking infiltration of voting machines on a shoe string budget . Cozy Bear ,Fuzzy Bear ,Guciffer 2 ,all got into an unprotected DNC server and fed information to Wikileaks .Does this even pass the smell test ? Meanwhile what did US intel do about it ? They infiltrated and investigated the Trump campaign ,got very questionable FISA warrants , hired a former Brit spy with Russian contacts to concoct a salacious and unverified dossier to use to get these warrants . Oh but wait ….. the emperor told Putin to "cut it out " . And what did they get out of the DNC server ? Proof that it was Evita's campaign that was rigging the election against her primary opponent .

    So why would the Russians want to interfere in the US election ? Could it be American involvement in the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan ...or maybe the release of the Panama papers during Putin's reelection bid ? I'm not a believer in moral equivalence . But we know that American operatives were on the streets when
    Viktor Yanukovych was ousted . We know the emperor sent operatives into Israel to try to change the outcome of the Netanyahu win.

    Let's assume the Russians really did all this ...are you saying the gullible American yahoos let Russian influence be the deciding factor rather than the growing populist wave that was a reaction to 8 years of the emperor's reign ?

    Trump, a treasonous bastard if ever there was one, has now politicized security clearances by threatening to pull them from real, honest-to-God patriots like Clapper, Comey., Rice, McCabe, etc.

    Their crime? Exercising their First Amendment rights and speaking the truth about Trump. And being associated with Obama - Trump's nemesis.

    He even accuses them of "monetizing" their clearances! A truly amazing statement from the one who takes every penny he can from the Treasury by causing his business pals to stay at his hotels and his weekend golf vacations at his golf courses picking up another few hundred thousand every weekend.

    Trump has been in a rage for three days now, running the country by mad, fevered tweets. Shameless, ignorant, evil and cruel.

    Clapper admitted that he lied in testimony in hearings in front of the Senate Intel Committee. In fact he bragged about it .
    He was asked directly, “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans?” There was no ambiguity or confusion and Clapper responded, “No, sir. … Not wittingly.” That was a lie and Clapper knew it when he said it. He later said his testimony was the 'least truthful ' statement he could make . Instead of revoking Clapper's security clearance ,the emperor rewarded him by putting him on a panel to review the very program that he had lied about . Roger Clemens was prosecuted for lying to Congress about using steroids . But Clapper got a free pass for lying about domestic surveillance . He should've had his clearance revoked 5 years ago. Comey leaked classified info to the press. He also should get his clearance revoked . I can't speak about Rice or McCabe .

    I misremembered that about Clapper. However, Clapper misremembered a section of the Patriot Act and apologized for it. Roger was the original misrememberer - in fact, he made the word up. Or at least he was the first to use it in public. He was acquitted of lying to Congress, but you're right that he was prosecuted for it.

    Comey didn't really leak classified info to the press. In fact, he was the one who questioned his own determination to make his memos classified. He wasn't sure. The debate about Comey's classified leaking goes on without any conclusive conclusion.

    Revoking his clearance for something he probably didn't do is overkill.

    Why do they still have security clearances when they are long gone from government? What kind of security is that? What organization ever let’s fired employees keep passes? It would seem to me that security passes should be available on a need for basis with different levels of security granted and revoked depending on that need. It's not just

    I can understand people fired for cause losing security clearances, like Comey and McCabe, but most still keep theirs for whatever consulting may come up from government officials, during a transition or crisis. Why lose the benefit of those experiences? Big difference to me than putting together an enemies list and punishing them. Like many things he could have handled things in a more mature fashion, but no... he has to bad mouth everybody too.

    Of course this is a bigger deal to The Dufus and sycophants than has ever been before in our history. From the looks of things so far in this administration he should take all the help he can get. What a moronic idiot.
