They would "Lock Her Up" and through away the key....are you kidding? No due process, why bother....this is how they think. Imagine if she would have said, "Hey Russia, please find the 33 thousand emails."

They would have her on bread and water in Guantanamo.

"Team Trump" would be anyone working for Trump's campaign committee, just like "Team Hillary" would be anyone working for Hillary's campaign committee. That should be obvious.

If Hillary had Russian citizens who were paid $millions by Putin and working under false names within the USA to get Hillary elected, she would be in trouble with the law.

OK, that was fun. Now enough distractions and diversions. 13 Russians and 3 Russian companies indicted by Mueller. Word is, many more to come.

Actually, yes - you are. You like victimizing people. And for no reason other than you disagree with them. That's not much of a reason.


BTW - you may have missed my posts about an internet libeler's legal liability. You can be sued. And, in California, an ANONYMOUS website extends the statute of limitations beyond a year, up to indefinitely.

So I suggest you don't make it worth my while to go after you.

OTOH, if you can keep your discussions on-topic, civil, and most importantly - HONEST, we can get along just fine. Now, if being the stand-up guy you claim to be motivates you, you know, fighting the good fight for the right causes and so on - then being on-topic, civil, and most importantly - HONEST, should be no problem for you.

What are you trying to prove?

That you're so stupid you can't believe a genuine American has a different opinion than you? That you can't be shamed or cowed into behaving like a decent person, not even for one short post? That you're so addicted to bullying it's worth being sued over? That you're so propagandized you can't even consider for a moment that the government might be lying to you?

Oh it's threats now, well, now this is a fine how do you do. Imagine, a libel case from someone slinging hash at folks all the way from California. Well, isn't that something.

You have a very entertaining and scrupulous mind. Will wonders never cease. It's amazing because this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. And it's funny you saying that I victimize people. What a load of horse shit. I have kept mostly to myself lately for just that reason, because you enjoy insulting people and when a body defends itself, suddenly it's called victimizing.

Change the subject, deflect and gaslight all you want. It makes no never mind to me.
No, I didn't miss your lame threats to sue for libel. Go right ahead, sue. You have a lot of nerve talking about keeping discussions on topic and civil. It's of no consequence, because anytime I bring up a topic or post a comment with my opinion you revert to name-calling and innuendo of drinking and mental instability.
Oftentimes I use my style of writing and my choice of prose to defend myself. In other moments I would get angry and spew forth a hail of curse words to vent.

At one time, I even offered up an apology and you saw fit to scoff at my offer. And without knowing me you take a statement I made to ridicule and embarrass me. And now you suggest that I be careful and dangle the threat of a lawsuit in my face, while professing that you wish to proceed discussing topics in a civil manner. It is the equivalent of speaking softly, while clubbing me in the back of the head.

But know this...I will continue to discuss, comment and otherwise hob-knob as I see fit. Should you care to reply, that is up to you. Should you not, again that is your prerogative. Should you chose to insult and/or belittle, again that is your choice. I am my own person, I do not follow what others do or say. Unless I agree with them; and I say so. I AM ME, SGG, always have been and always will be. I am no one's puppet or punching bag.

I am a human being, I give respect where respect is earned. I give no quarter and expect none in return.

It is a shot across the bow. Fair warning that something is coming down the road, just don't know when or what, but something's in the air. Now, you could argue, or discuss calmly, that I'm speaking out of turn and that I know nothing...that Mueller has shot his load.

True that. I know nothing. Mueller could very well have nothing more.

That's just insanity. Even I'm not that paranoid, and I used to be pretty gorramed paranoid. Go back to my posts from 2006-2007. I was terrified of the Patriot Act. Then again, I was 27 years old and still thought the world revolved around me.

It's also about conspiracy, it's about financial ties that leave Trump open to blackmail and even to committing acts of treason.

Good idea JO. No, great idea!!! For the show I mean and who should pay for it.

As for Russian trolls being here. Sig and kiki are of Polish decent. They've both posted that. Perhaps you remember? I believe their blood lines include Russian heritage. Sock puppet copped to this as well.

I think it's pride for the motherland that drives them and why they troll on behalf of Russia. And why if they do live here now are traitors to this country. I can understand pride in one's heritage but if they live here now, they should at least be fair in their judgements, even handed. They have been everything but.

This video answers your question better than I can Jack. Watch it, and if you think it is fake news than there is nothing further to discuss. This is about one aspect of the damage Trump is doing to America's foreign policy. This is a serious discussion by serious men.

Everything changed with these 13 Russian indictments. And it's far from being over. Not even close. Wiki leaks, the DNC hacking and then Trump. Now Jack, now everyone, now it begins.

So, Facebook admits that the majority of ad Buys occurred AFTER the Election.

Before Election Day the MSM was reporting that Hilliary would win, and the activities were anti-Hilliary. The day after the Election, MSM reports Trump won, and all activities switch to Anti-Trump.

So your Spin is that these disruptor groups are biased one way?

You must have an IQ of 2. You always misinterpret the point of the story. Russia asshole, your spin can't change that. It's like after a debate and you feel like the spin artist was watching something else. And I say an IQ of 2 because you really suck at it.

A spin room, also known as spin row or spin alley, is an area in which reporters can speak with debate participants and/or their representatives after a debate. The name refers to the fact that the participants will attempt to "spin" or influence the perception of the debate among the assembled reporters.

Think Ukraine and the Russian migrants there and what happened. Think Georgia and the Russian migrants and what happened there when Bush was president. Poland is full of Russian communists. Kiki admitted her father was kicked out of Poland and England after that. It's no wonder after seeing how disloyal she is to the country that accepted her and her family. America

There were people who fought against communist servitude. Lech Walesa was born on September 29, 1943 in Popowo, Poland. After graduating from vocational school, he worked as a car mechanic at a machine center from 1961 to 1965. He served in the army for two years, rose to the rank of corporal, and in 1967 was employed in the Gdansk shipyards as an electrician. In 1969 he married Danuta Golos and they have eight children.

During the clash in December 1970 between the workers and the government, he was one of the leaders of the shipyard workers and was briefly detained. In 1976, however, as a result of his activities as a shop steward, he was fired and had to earn his living by taking temporary jobs.

In 1978 with other activists he began to organise free non-communist trade unions and took part in many actions on the sea coast. He was kept under surveillance by the state security service and frequently detained.

In August 1980 he led the Gdansk shipyard strike which gave rise to a wave of strikes over much of the country with Walesa seen as the leader. The primary demands were for workers' rights. The authorities were forced to capitulate and to negotiate with Walesa the Gdansk Agreement of August 31, 1980, which gave the workers the right to strike and to organise their own independent union.

The Catholic Church supported the movement, and in January 1981 Walesa was cordially received by Pope John Paul II in the Vatican. Walesa himself has always regarded his Catholicism as a source of strength and inspiration. In the years 1980-81 Walesa travelled to Italy, Japan, Sweden, France and Switzerland as guest of the International Labour Organisation. In September 1981 he was elected Solidarity Chairman at the First National Solidarity Congress in Gdansk.

The country's brief enjoyment of relative freedom ended in December 1981, when General Jaruzelski, fearing Soviet armed intervention among other considerations, imposed martial law, "suspended" Solidarity, arrested many of its leaders, and interned Walesa in a country house in a remote spot.

And now I hope he shits his pants every time he thinks about OTHER people - not his cohort of laughing hyenas - judging his history of posts.




So anyway ... anyone up for a rational, fact-based, and civil discussion about the topic?

You likely hit on it there. The hyenas were spending so much time in their circle jerk threads until they realized nobody else was visiting those barren wastelands, and now they've deserted those threads and ventured into threads which were productive until they polluted them.
So what minimal sense they had eroded during their circle jerk marathons.

That didn't answer my question at all.

I asked you to humor me and pretend that there was no Russian narrative and then tell me what Trump has done that has made him the worst president we've ever had.

I'll say that I'm fully on board with throwing the book on him if he his found guilty of a nefarious collaboration with Russia that is against American interests. Of that you can be certain.

Short of that though, why do you think he's so bad?

And again, I'll mention that I wish he'd STFU on Twitter. I found it quite amusing before the election and even a while into it, but at this point his constant trolling doesn't seem to be doing anything but making people on your side rabid.

Historians and Scholars decide if a president is good or not Jack. Very educated people. Historians and Executive Branch experts. These experts, Democrat, Republican and Independent, together rated Trump dead last ( worst ever ). And you, you Jack, can't see for yourself any reason why. Any reason Jack. Do you realize how stupid that makes you?

That video had very valid reasons why he is a bad president. All our foreign policy people were telling our allies at this summit, don't worry about Trump listen to us. Trump isn't forever. That's hundreds of our people at this summit Jack. Hundreds of our foreign policy experts. Including Trumps hand picked people. That video showed all our allies were calling Trump stupid and untrustworthy.

You Don’t Think Smart People Can Be Scammed?
https://andrewtobias.com/you-dont-think-smart-people-can-be-scammed/

Do you really think the massive Russian disinformation campaign was not able to get millions of people to think less of Hillary Clinton?

> It got one well-intentioned North Carolina man to so believe she ran a child sex ring out of a DC pizza parlor that he showed up with an AR-15 and shot the place up!

> It got millions to think there was “there” there with Benghazi, even though eight Congressional investigations found no wrongdoing.

> It got millions — including my friend Matt’s hedge-fund uncle Mitch — to think Hillary gave Russia our uranium. (Snopes, among many others, points out this is false.)

I don’t know whether any of these three phony smears originated with the Russians. Let’s assume not. But once they were in the air — perhaps from Trump pal Alex Jones, who claims the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax? — the Russian operation amplified them.

Even with all this, Hillary won nearly 3 million more votes than Trump. Trump gets 47.3% and Hillary 47%, then the electoral college gives Trump 100% of the vote. Does that seem fair when nobody got 50%? Has any state ever had a runoff election for President when no one wins a majority? No. www.nytimes.com/elections/results/michigan-president-clinton-trump

How long does it take a stupid person hearing something before they get it? Nothing about you or what you post scares me. I have said many times here what we post is out there on google, and it shows the truth of it.

It shows you always come to the aid of Russia. It shows you always criticize America. It shows you lie and spin the truth into fiction. It shows most of, and nearly all the shit you've posted and laid claim to, was proven wrong after time, time and time again.

It shows I've given you every opportunity to call out Putin on something, anything these past few years and you never did. Even G's lost threads debating you about Russia are out there. Someone with any kind of talent can retrieve them. It further shows everything I've been posting here is true, or is in the process of being proven true and better yet, right.

So kiki comrade troll, do you get it? This is the focus now, and with the investigation it only gets worse for you. The facts are winning the day, and that makes it impossible for you to spin a good face onto Russia. It makes it impossible for you and sig to move the focus off Russia. Think wiki leaks and indictments. Mueller is working from the outside in. Trump is experiencing this like a noose tightening slowly around his neck and it shows.

Come on, you must be a little impressed with Mueller. You must wish Russia could get their act together and work the way our democracy is working. Utilizing the rule of law. All the gripes of late by you sig and others about our democratic institutions being corrupt, now working together so well to expose an outside threat. And to then clean house the way we have begun to do. Come on admit it, you're a bit envious comrade aren't you?

You have been told that you're wrong, you have been given evidence that you're wrong, even YOUR OWN POSTS demonstrate that you lie. If there is any threshold about what you know or should have known which separates an honest mistake from a malicious lie, you passed that threshold a long time ago.

All of this so-called "history" of posts simply demonstrate that KIKI has a different opinion than you; it does not make KIKI a "comrade" anything, but your insistence that it does makes YOU legally liable for any damages that might happen. So I'd stop lying, if I were you.

So Expert that they think the Next Addition to Mt. Rushmore should be Washington, T Roosevelt, or Lincoln!! Hint: they are already there.


So how might history look upon Trump? In this survey of Liberal experts, White House Alumni trends from 2014 to 2018 show GOP Nixon up one spot, Reagan up 2 spots, Bush 41 settled at 17 - the top half, Bush 43 up 5 spots. And Democraps Carter settled in the bottom half, and Clinton dropping 5 spots. The future polls look bad for Obama and good for Trump.

Trump's mouth gives Experts all they need to know Trump spouts nonsense. Trump’s claim Mueller found ‘NO COLLUSION’ is Literal Nonsense.

One of Trump’s favorite methods to defend his innocence in the Russia investigation is to claim that any piece of evidence that does not explicitly assert his guilt is in fact evidence of his innocence. It is exactly like Trump saying he was cleared by the Warren Commission because the Warren Commission report makes no conclusion about Trump and Russia. However, Trump misread the indictment.

In fact the indictment declared that collusion has been detected. It didn’t name all of the conspirators, but the grand jury did definitely claim to know the names of conspirators who were not named in the indictment.

I quote paragraph 2 of www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download :

From in or around 2014 to the present, Defendants knowingly and intentionally conspired with each other (and with persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury) to defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful functions of the government through fraud and deceit for the purpose of interfering with the U.S. political and electoral processes, including the presidential election of 2016.

The indictment explicitly states that there are known unindicted co-conspirators. It does not address the question of whether one is, say, named Donald Trump.

The greatest Presidents?

George Washington, as general, was so hated that soldiers were deserting from his army.

Abraham Lincoln was hated... HATED ... as President, for many of the same reasons that Trump is hated

Quote:

When Lincoln took office in March 1861, he was entering a presidency he had won with only 39.8 percent of the popular vote. Reactions from the public were so negative that on the eve of his inauguration he had to be smuggled into the capital during the dead of night in a disguise. He was looked down upon for everything from his humble beginnings and lack of education to his awkward appearance and high voice. Even the commanding general of his armies, George McClellan, called him the “original gorilla.” (Gives a whole new meaning to to term “OG.”)

In 1861, Lincoln inherited a nation in crisis. With the United States on the brink of civil war, the American public was on edge and blamed Lincoln for everything going wrong in the country. Of course, Southerners hated him for trying to change the way of life they’d known for years. They resented him for trying to abolish slavery and declared their secession from the Union on February 4, 1861. But Northerners weren’t fond of him either, unimpressed with his slow start at the presidency. They expected him to being doing more and to be doing it sooner.

People even hated his speeches. The Gettysburg Address—now revered as one of the greatest speeches of all time and memorized by school children across the nation—was panned by many. One Chicago Times writer said: “The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly flat dishwatery utterances of a man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States.” Ouch.

Lincoln’s wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, said the constant deluge of insults wore on the president’s feelings, and Lincoln himself reportedly said, “I would rather be dead than, as President, thus abused in the house of my friends.”

Truman was VERY unpopular at the end of his term
Quote:

Why was Harry Truman so unpopular at the end of his presidency?
In February 1952, Gallup polls placed President Harry S. Truman's approval mark at 22%, one of the lowest-ever ratings for an active American president, only matched by Richard Nixon in 1974.
Essentially, Truman’s unpopularity mostly stemmed from the pressures placed on his Presidency by the Cold War with the Soviet Union and the ‘hot’ war in Korea. Among American voters, these played out as discontent with the conduct of the war, fears about communist influence, anger about industrial disputes, added to perceived corruption and nepotism.



Jackson, a populist, was disdained by the elites as being uncouth and uncultured OUTSIDER; the "party" that his supporters gave him wrecked the White House.
Quote:

To many voters, the presidential candidates of 1824 were a lackluster, squabbling batch of what we’d today call Washington insiders. Known as “Old Hickory,” Jackson was the exception—the humble boy veteran of the Revolution and heroic victor at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, who had proved his mettle and virtue against the British and Indians alike... Supporters assured voters that the general’s natural talents far outshone the specious, elite distinctions of his chief competitor, John Quincy Adams—the son of a president, raised in royal capitals, who’d been a member of Phi Beta Kappa, a Harvard professor and secretary of state. [SOUND FAMILIAR?]

“The Majesty of the People had disappeared,” she shuddered. “A rabble, a mob, of boys, negroes, women, children, scrambling fighting, romping …. The whole [White House] had been inundated by the rabble mob.”

... Jackson’s conduct in office made official Washington no happier. Mrs. Smith’s husband was president of the Washington branch of the Bank of the United States (a rough counterpart of today’s Federal Reserve), and eventually lost his job when Jackson attacked it. Many of his friends held high appointments in the Adams administration and rightly worried over Jackson’s policy of “rotation in office.” Proclaiming that no one owned an office for life and that “men of intelligence may readily qualify themselves” for government service, the president began to “reform” the government by replacing experienced Adams men with loyal Jacksonians. His policy evolved into the spoils system, in which politics outweighed other qualifications in filling the civil service.

"Greatness" has little to do with popularity, and judging a President after one year in office is stupid.

Keep digging.


BTW, the greatest threat to our democracy is people like you. You're willing to trample the Constitution because you're too stupid to put two thoughts together, and so your poor brain needs "protection" from scary facts and uncomfortable ideas.

Did you hear the patronizing from Friedman? The President would "explain" the problem in simple terms that the people would understand?? Jeez.
