new phone who dis posted:US presidents are cultivated from specific Ivy league groups that are really only opposed to each other nominally on face value. It's not really that surprising that an outsider with business ties might have contact and connections abroad that those generally insulated and carefully curated groups don't. You'll notice buried at the end of all of these articles is an admission that for all the surveillance done by the intelligence community on these folks, nothing actually bad has been detected. It's all a swirl of innuendo, anonymous leaks, rumors and whispers deliberately created to destabilize the administration from a section of very angry and very entitled elites. There's a reason Assange is hiding in an embassy for doing the same thing CNN and the Post are doing right now without rebuke and that's because of who it pisses off. Indeed, correct.

I just wish we'd stop blaming the Russians and just get good. quote:Trump is a clown but if you think jumping into bed with the CIA to try and force him out of power via lovely media sources is the way to fight him, you're probably part of the problem as well. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

I can't help but do an eyeball 360 every time I read any article sourcing "an unnamed intelligence official". The intelligence community has made it plainly obvious they have no qualms lying to the public and elected politicians, acting counter to decency on any issue, and generally being crookedly inept, or is that ineptly crooked?

All I'm really saying is that there is spin and bullshit on both sides, if you can't accept that at least then you're just as delusional as anyone watching Fox News for all their information and buying it hook line and sinker. That doesn't mean Trump doesn't suck, or that Russia isn't led by bad people.

i'm not a liberal. i have no political affiliation. it's important to have perspective. WE are the problem, every single loving one of us, because we vacuum up dumb poo poo with our mouths and our assholes that we do not need. because we do, really, nothing, in our day to day life, to change that; we just go to the voting booth and ask them please to make our healthcare better. i'm not saying you should cozy up to the elite. i'm saying it is straight up ignorant to think that american presidents aren't working day in day out to make the lives of americans better -- and they do, every day, at the cost of other people, around the world, who suffer horribly so we can drive cars and watch reality TV.

Republicans did some soul searching after electing the dumbest president ever in George W. Bush didn't work out so well and decided they needed an imbecile who was also traitorous lunatic. It should be interesting to see who they dig up next time... maybe a KKK grand wizard who is married to his sister or something.
