Its over folks... No collusion... House intelligence committee

[HomerJS]

Its been downhill for Nunes ever since "Obama bugged Trump"

 

[BonzaiDuck]

It's John Brown here, again . . . . So if you are a decorated veteran who still supports the White-Trash-Tory-Traitor-Whoremonger-Liar-in-Chief, let me be perfectly "Civil:" "F*** you very much for your service."

Connor Lamb is going to win. We won't be so confident as to push a script line from "Gettysburg:" "Tomorrow, there'll be a clear road! All the way to Washington!"

But if we do triumph in 2018, we're going to impeach that filthy piece of garbage the GOP dragged into the White House. After all, what is he doing there? He called it "a dump," where every president has slept since the beginning.

Are real Americans going to take that sort of trash talk?

Personally, I think they should bring back public execution for High Treason. And broadcast it to secondary-school civics classes as a requirement. Should it be hanging? They did that to Booth and his "confederates." But facts are facts. And there are many ways an elected official can commit "misprision of a felony" and "misprision of treason." Or . . . . simply . . . treason.

Our So-called President shouldn't get off the hook, if facts prove out.

I've got to admit it cracked me up to see the "Expert" say "If it was printed on toilet paper I wouldn't wipe my ass with it" on the CNN show.

This is basically what he said which is basically the truth, something that has a far left leaning liberal bias, we know..... :

1. Why did they just end this? They just told us they conducted an investigation that included interviewees' that decided NOT to answer questions. What exactly did they get to the bottom of when they didn't interview people and those who did said we're not answering anything.

2. Technical information and the lack thereof... Is there ANY evidence that they had the capability to look at phone, text, email, financial records etc the same stuff Robert Muller is looking at? There is no evidence of that.

3. Their primary responsibility was not to determine culpability for wrongdoing in the last election. That's Robert Muller's job. Their responsibility was not to represent party, democrats or republicans, but represent the People of the United States. How do we protect the next election? Show us one quote that would indicate that the republican committee is going to protect us going forward and not just trying to say the other party did something wrong and didn't just do a partisan FU America.

If this report was written on toilet paper I wouldn't stoop to wipe my ass with it.

These people owe us more.

This is a committee that decided it wanted to stop. It decided it was getting too close and was DONE. It did not interview Manafort, It did not interview Gates, it did not interview Flynn, It did not interview Popadopoulos, it did not subpoena bank records, text, emails, phone records....



In other words, this is all PARTISAN BULLSHIT

The United States people deserve better than this...

Yeah but is there evidence of Orange love juice coating his lips? Is his tummy bloated from it? If not then he's not worthy of expert title. I'm sure Taj can explain it better than me. He gets the shit shipped to him by the truck load. He's one thirsty mo'fo. Gluttony IS one of their super powers after all.

 

[shortylickens]

So instead of saying it was OK, the American Republican is just flat out denying it ever happened even with all the subpoenas and everything else going on.

Good strategy. The republican voter will accept it, we already know that.

They will indeed though the Republican Committee needn't have bothered. The Republican voters are all in even to the destruction of the country no matter what that looks like. They've become a rape culture, it's just that they didn't anticipate they'd enjoy being raped. I'm certain they were convinced they'd be the rapers (Yay rape!) and not the rapees. Trump has converted them completely.

This is my only account fvckhole. Take it and love it.

You know something tajbot. When I try and visualize what you look like. I picture a massive fat fuck. Who hasn't left his mums house in years because he can't get outside without a wall being removed and the aid of a forklift.

So you are sitting there with your multitude of anadtech sock puppets. Saving the day for the republican party. Kudos to you buddy.

I don't know if you have noticed yet but you don't seem to have any credibility left and abusing other members isn't going to provide you with any.

Does it count that I laugh at him when he calls me chubster?

 

[BonzaiDuck]

Think back. Political discourse of a serious nature should be a matter of opposition debaters trafficking in facts and rigorous logical inference.

I have said before that the "Gurr-eat Patriots" of the Right have a subliminal hatred of America as it has slowly evolved since early in the last century. They would like to destroy it in one presidential term. That's not what the Founders intended. They intended a degree of gridlock, and they intended incremental change.

So when has Taj ever presented a coherent argument about anything? Am I wrong? Or has it merely been a question of "screw you, I support so-and-so, and that's that?"

Anyone can show me how one can apply a sense of predicate calculus or axioms with basic inference -- the Euclidian example Lincoln was portrayed as giving in the movie. Was the movie well-researched? Gather the facts; prove the logic; debate the issues.

For me, I've run out of patience. I can honestly say I submitted a likely cause for the two school terror hoaxes during 2015 and 2016. Everything that the national security apparatus suggested in their reports as a matter of cause and effect has been completely consistent and parallel to the remarks I've made to friends and to other colleagues we have here.

There is no need anymore for a serious engagement with the Republican opposition, unless they grow up and stop presenting mendacious, inconsistent, illogical and deceitful arguments, and until their Great Fuhrer can stop making personal attacks, outrageous statements, ridiculous and dangerous decisions, and other nonsense.

He doesn't make serious argument; his supporters don't make serious argument. Today, I saw some of his supporters who have recently defected, articulate serious arguments as to why Trump is not fit to be President.

There is nothing further to discuss with them until they reform their behavior -- a behavior that is destructive to the Republic, and which endangers it.

[BonzaiDuck]

Off your meds?

Like I said in another thread: Seeing and listening to any morning news channel broadcast, I just suffer through President Asshole's self-adulatory, boastful, abrasive, inflammatory, uncivil behavior and demeanor. It is a slap in the face, every morning.

And I've decided, in the sunset of my life and as long as I live -- to marginalize, shun, boycott, diminish, berate and generally screw over anyone I discover had voted for the Trump Monster without regrets through his hopefully incomplete term in office. If I live to be 90 and twenty years from now, I'll continue to pursue my "policy." I dropped my business with my dentist of 15 years; my car mechanic is treading on thin ice.

You're not my fellow American if I can no longer accept you as my fellow human being. The election of that Filth was an insult to every serious American who cares about his country. Trumpies secretly hate America. If I encounter you on the road in need of emergency assistance, and -- through some trick question -- determine you are one of these, you can bleed and burn in the ditch, bitch.

Meds or no -- I'm slapping back.

For starters, in a year when I have about $6K of dental repair and $3K of renovation expense on a rental property I own, I'm budgeting about $600 in political contributions. I have a modest retirement, and I have to take care of two elderly, disabled family members.

$50 to Maxine Waters
$50 to Adam Schiff
$50 to Eric Swalwell
$50 to Jackie Speier
$50 to Kamala Harris
$50 to Diane Feinstein
$50 to my own Congressman
. . . . and I intend to take some time to think about the rest of the list.

I could add two words to finish my screed, but why bother? I've made myself clear.

 

[VRAMdemon]

It will be effective in brainwashing the base. House Intel finds there was no collusion and also that the unanimous intelligence assessment was wrong. Now, regardless of what the Senate committee or Mueller find, Trump supporters will be able to say there were differing assessments. Fox News will now be telling 60 million cult followers the investigation is over. It will be in their minds no matter what else comes out.

Actually, this might be a tactical error by conservatives. They've declared a sham "investigation" over, yet the real investigation, with it's drip, drip, drip of information, shall continue. Robert Mueller has bank accounts, witnesses, criminal convictions, interviews, wire taps (probably), and other things that can be corroborated. Devin Nunes has...a memo.

 

[SNC]

I just cant see how they think this was a good idea. I love the toilet paper comment.

Good timing...


Roger Stone claimed contact with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2016, according to two associates

In the spring of 2016, longtime political operative Roger Stone had a phone conversation that would later seem prophetic, according to the person on the other end of the line.

Stone, an informal adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump, said he had learned from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that his organization had obtained emails that would torment senior Democrats such as John Podesta, then campaign chairman for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The conversation occurred before it was publicly known that hackers had obtained the emails of Podesta and of the Democratic National Committee, documents which WikiLeaks released in late July and October. The U.S. intelligence community later concluded the hackers were working for Russia.

[zinfamous]

Hey, they vindicated HIllary, too, saying no evidence for collusion with her campaign. ...lol, as if that was ever anything that anyone was investigating. ...but they may have shot themselves in the foot there. What is Fox & Friends and Hannity going to talk about if Hillary is vindicated?

nah, they don't care. Invent a story, talk about it all day anyway. No biggie.

They're such good people, though, the Republican intelligence committee: look at how fair they are in vindicating Hillary. How can you not trust them?

I thought the DOJ said no Americans were “a knowing participant” with the Russians on election interference. The unintentional byproduct of Mueller's investigation revealed that Hillary, the DNC, and their drones were useful idiots in assisting Russia.

Because the DOJ never said that. I have no access to US intel and I know Trump participated with Russians in election interference. Hell, he did it in public.

As usual you are completely misleading. This quote...

Rosenstein said Friday that the indictment does not contain any allegations that any Americans knowingly participated in the activity.

Refers to Mueller's indictment of the 13 Russians and only those indictments. This is not the end of Mueller's investigation.

As a tool you are going to have to work harder.
