tbm3fan,
nah, i don't think z has any desire whatsoever to collaborate with the Russians.
OTOH, making excuses for the administration...seriously, if someone actually leaked a taped conversation where Trump promised Putin something in return for targeted election support, i believe there would still be a good 30% of the American population whom would still support the guy.There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

Waking up to the radio this morning I hear Sessions referred to as beleaguered now. If I didn't know any better, and I do, Trump seems to be setting up Sessions. Sessions a very early backer and from a safe Senate seat is getting backed into a corner? A corner where he might hand in his resignation because the coward Trump can't talk to him face to face. Hmm, just musing...

By the way, for all others, an interesting article in the latest "Time" magazine on the intrusions by the Russians into most all states electoral systems.

Over the past few years it has been fascinating to watch this. The contrasting of 'strong' Putin with 'weak' Obama went WAY beyond just Obama hatred. Watching people who see government involvement in health care as 'tyranny' practically drool over a nuclear armed dictator has been thoroughly educative. Putin hates homosexuals & Liberals, he kills Muslims by the tens of thousands and Obama didn't like him. The rest, it turns out, is mere detail.
Good article from Politico on the phenomenon.

I'll cheerfully admit to never having been a senior person in a Presidential campaign, but is it normal for such folk to blithely wander into meetings without apparently knowing what they are about? I ask because first Manafort & now Kushner have claimed that they went to the meeting Junior organized without having a clue what it was about. They both got emails that were pretty clear, but both claim not to have read them.
Lying or dangerously incompetent?
I hope Kushner is more attentive now that he is effectively Sec State & god knows what else. Seems like the sort of thing that could end really badly.sigpic

Originally posted by zraver View PostNot debunked, there is more there there than there is one any of the Trump claims and is worthy of a full investigation, or don't you care about Russia? This is why I say it is a media circus. There are multiple for real connections between the Clintons and Russia, from speech payments to her chairmen hiding involvement with a Russian bank, but none of that even raises an eyebrow. Yet flip it to Trump and a year of zero proof has done zero to tamper down the cries of Russia, Russia, Russia. Its not about Russia, never was. its about obstruction and setting the stage for 2018 and 2020.
Instead why don't you just come out and say it. You want Clinton in jail. That is clearly what Trump wants the way he is complaining about Sessions. That is another one of his dictatorial attributes coming to the surface. Jail the opposition.

Frankly, we all would be better off if Trump was head of the Boy Scouts rather than President...
