he does seem a bit pro-russia.[/quote]What does that mean?

Parry didn't write the piece.

An objective view: The suspected nerve agent attack upon former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal, which also affected his daughter in the English city of Salisbury last Sunday, has given rise to too much speculation, too much hysteria, and too little analysis or insight. It has provided a...

[quote=""Hermit""] I think this is going to be a serious problem for the remainder of our democracy; we seem to only want celebrities, CEOs, or exciting new "fire-brands" for president. Calling someone a "politician" in a presidential debate is considered to b...

[quote=""Politesse""] Oprah doesn't have political experience. She had some good qualities. She could perhaps do well in Congress, but she is not adequately prepared for all the responsibilities of the Oval Office. I think this is going to be a serious problem for the remainder o...

[quote=""Politesse""]Man, if Oprah runs, expect all of the attack adds to include the clip of her going "YOU get a car, and YOU get a car, EVERYBODY GETS A CAR!" A more perfect visual metaphor for the conservative position on what liberals think and want could not be cr...

Oprah took on the beef industry, which a lot of people thought would be career ending suicide. She won, and she did so with grace and dignity. It cost her quite a bit financially and it took her off her show for a bit too. The beef industry legal teams did everything they could to ruin her and her c...

Not only how much he knew, I think it's obvious he probably knew pretty much everything, but how much of an active participant he was in all this and how much was by his direction. Obama reviles Trump as much as Trump hates Obama. Both the democratic and republican inside Washington power brokers do...

At this point, I'm wondering if this is going to reach all the way to Obama. Getting as high as Comey, Brennen and Clapper is real close.

I am not a Trump supporter, I am a supporter of civil rights and honesty in government, however, I understand that the weakness of this entire bs argument puts you in a position to need to label me as such. You all keep going back to the argument that Mueller and company are Republicans while neglec...

What? Politico, which doesn't often say much of anything worth repeating, agrees? Though one point lacking in the story is that the jobs are also probably payback for furnishing intel for shows like Rachel Maddow's. Former intelligence officials are enjoying second acts at television pundits. Here’s...

Da bitch deserve it!

Anyone think the chummy relationship between intelligence people and the media is nothing to be concerned about or real? Why then are so many of these intel people allowed to get behind a microphone and in front of a camera so often? https://consortiumnews.com/2018/02/05/deep-state-veterans-find-new...

I doubt costs will ever be addressed in any real sense as long as insurance is part of the equation.

[quote=""Copernicus""]1) That the FISA application was NOT based solely on the Steele dossier.[/quote]Nobdy said it was based solely on the dossier. The fact that the dossier was used reveals that adding it must have meant that without using it there must have been a fear of not ...

That's a terrific site and information. You are definitely one of the most resourceful people I've met on the internet for positive growth whether that be emotional or intellectual. Thank you!

How was that?

My, my, you guys are in deep, aren't you. How does this happen to otherwise smart people?

What I meant was that Lang is an objective person, who after reading the memo called a spade a spade regarding how the warrant was obtained. How's this one? I think it’s very fitting that the ever-tightening repetitive loops of America’s increasingly schizophrenic partisan warfare have finally hit p...

Then there's an objective view of this. Based on the memo released today by the House Intelligence Committee (read it here), current and former members of the FBI and the Department of Justice who signed off on applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court will likely face contempt of ...

[quote=""Hermit""] Where did you come up with the notion that Daniels is a goldminer (the US term is golddigger )? Good question. I have not spent much time reading up on the allegations making the rounds of the gutter press since the WSJ (paywalled) raised them. My source is bas...

Gotta let it go sooner or later. The anger can be unhealthy.

[quote=""Jackrabbit""] Perhaps one lesson in all this is that Trump was telling the truth when he stated that there is no problem in response to Rubio's small hands claim. :d unno: How did you arrive at that conclusion? I mean, when a goldminer hits on a billionaire, why would sh...

The name-calling aside, I don't think Donald Trump is bad-looking.
