I think people should go to the actual source of information and not rely on pre-edited, censored, and spun information, personally.

Poetic Justice posted:

We began this conversation because according to you Trump didn't fire Flynn immediately and was just using him as some sort of plausible deniability chip. Perhaps Trump wanted some investigation done seriously and diligently before making that decision?

Poetic Justice posted:

Yes. Thirsty Girl said Trump was briefed months ago about Flynn. My beginning point and first post that started this was we don't know what Trump was briefed with, and I personally won't judge Trump for not immediately firing Flynn because without knowing what sort of information was shown, it's not something I'd feel qualified making a judgement on.

Poetic Justice posted:

I think we should wait for more information before jumping to conclusions, yes.

It's not about whether I like the information or not, I'm pretty indifferent. The whole point was people are somehow saying Trump knew or knows or has ties with Russia because Flynn resigned and that Trump has known for months that Flynn had ties to Russia because he was briefed. What I'm saying is we don't know what was in the briefing. Was it perhaps "Flynn and the Russian ambassador where at the same coffee shop at the same time, while both were on trips to the same city." We have no idea what information was relayed in that briefing and again, I, personally, won't judge Trump for not immediately firing him after that briefing.

Absolutely.

He's trolling, you know. Very successfully, might I add.

Poetic Justice posted:

The story, as reported, since you now believe Trump's tweets, is false. He didn't know where the information came from. That was the underpinning of the entire WashPo article.


So you are gonna believe Trump when he said he shared certain information, but not believe him when he said he didn't know where the information came from? How convenient for you.

I'm agnostic but also a contrarian and somewhat cynical by nature, so whenever someone expresses a strong opinion for or against a higher purpose I tend to play the devil's advocate.

I like how you're not allowed to talk about Hillary even when she's directly involved, basically because there's no defense for it.

I'll take Russia over Hillary any day of the week.

It was a meeting about Hillary. Hence, I will side with the Russians, who are way cooler than she is.

I think the conclusion I've reached is that the "TRUMP RUSSIA" story is mass hysteria in the vain of "911 IS AN INSIDE JOB", mixed in with the "SADDAM HAS WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" that was brought on by the Bush administrator.

I;m gonna be sincere here. I think to them...election night 2016 was akin to some sort of national/personal tragedy. But it's easier to accept that narrative that their candidate ran a poo poo campaign, didn't go to the swing states, was absolutely LOATHED by the general public, and voter apathy was caused as a result.

I'll get someone flipping out at me for even insisting that Hillary being a poo poo candidate was an even bigger factor to her loss than any Russian "Hacking" could ever be. I imagine as soon as I post this I'm going to get accused of being a "DON'T TREAD ON ME"-type despite that being the farthest from the truth.
