Where once there were Buckley, Kirkpatrick, Goldwater, and William Safire - now we have mental midgets like Hannity, Carlson, Ann Coulter and Ingraham. A sad state of affairs.

[jlisenbe]

we are the mainstream thinking and the right is a small band of nutcases

Except that we have a republican pres and a republican senate. Pretty good work for the non-mainstream party.

What do you mean, there are two mainstream parties

Enjoy it while it lasts as the pendulum is already swinging back from the dufus party, and their antics. Common sense and pragmatism will replace the hollering screaming bully boys of this administration... HOPEFULLY!

We have democrats, and a republican party that the dufus subverted and took over. There is a stronger independent party but has yet to really break through, and many smaller ones that form coalitions with the main parties.

Time will tell. It's still so funny to me to hear you criticize the "hollering screaming bully boys of this administration." If that's what they are, then you must have learned from them. Just look at your own post. I guess it's OK when you do it.

Tal isn't bullying. He's reeling with disgust!

How convenient.

AG Barr tells Congress "I think spying did occur, yes. I think spying did occur" on the Trump campaign. He adds "The question was whether it was adequately predicated. And I'm not suggesting it wasn't predicated. I need to explore that"

[talaniman]

What do you expect a hand picked dufus stooge to say, but parrot the right wing noise machine party line? Heck how much intelligience does that take? What you disagree Tomder?

Thank goodness Tal does not engage in name calling.

[tomder55]

ummmm....... all AGs are handpicked ;in fact every cabinet member is handpicked . The truth is that Barr and Mueller have a trusting work relationship ,so much so that Mueller trusted him to write the summary ;and is working closely with Barr to do the redactions .

If it's accurate then it's not namecalling. How many times must I tell you that? Try to keep up will you?

That's Barr's side of it, I can't wait for Mueller to agree with that. We don't have long to wait as next week we will have the first pass of the redacted public offering of the Mueller report. Then as we analyze it, the congress can get the non public version for scrutiny.

I could write a rap song from that!

I think spying did occur,
Yes, I think spying did occur!
Was it adequately predicated?
I'm not suggesting it was!
Or wasn't.
But maybe it was
Or wasn't!
Let's explore that.
Come with me,
Let's go!
Spying,
Denying,
Crying,
Lying,
Prying,
All adequately predicated?
Who knows!

(Add your own music and dance steps.)

At least you are on the Trump train now. That's the same weak as water excuse he would use. Be careful lest you find that the two of you actually have a lot in common. You seem to have the same motto. "If I do it, it must be OK."

[tomder55]

What Barr was saying is there will FINALLY be Justice Dept investigations into the criminal conduct of the emperor's Justice and Intelligence agencies ;as well as the DNC and dare I say it ;the emperor himself. You really don't believe any of the criminal behavior of his regime happened without approval/direction /involvement . So go ahead and rap away. I'll provide you the lyrics for their frog march .

[jlisenbe]

Tom, you must understand something here. If President Obama did it, then it's all fine and wonderful. If HC did it, then same thing. It is only when President Trump allegedly does something wrong that it must be investigated and he must be impeached.

I will gladly submit to whatever fact checks you have, and no we have nothing in common, not even the basics of humanity and certainly not in the challenge of good orderly direction or boundaries of good behavior which his base has ignored for promises of the right wing agenda that even conservatives cringe at.

I just hope the Inspector Generals report is a lot more professional than the partisan hack job that Barr is presenting... spying on the dufus indeed.

The devil is in the details which make your conspiracy right wing allegations laughable if you weren't stuck on a LIAR and cheater and there is much evidence of both. Hold your nose and enjoy your FUNK!

[tomder55]

yeah I'm looking forward to the IG report also .
