Dick Allen Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 For a party that tried to convince everyone that Obama "didn't love America", they sure do seem to look the other way when the republican president bashes US intelligence on foreign soil and calls meeting Putin an honor.

I am wrong to think if I had my choice of Trumps at that table, Ivanka would be who I would choose? Definetly unqualified, but so is POTUS.

StrangeSox Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Why are we partnering on Cyber security with the country that our own intelligence community firmly believes interfered with our elections?

StrangeSox Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 People high up in Trump's campaign including his own son and son in law were willing to collude with Kremlin-linked Russians in order to obtain damaging info on their political opponent. This should matter, but...

It never will be it. The whole argument of modern politics isn't right versus wrong, it is me versus you. It is getting the one up on social media. It is getting the soundbyte for the masses to repost. It is getting someone to post all of the links supporting your guy and opposing the other. What that does it mean that the actual substance of what is happening is secondary to winning. With the adversarial political environment of today, this won't matter either, just like nothing else has mattered since oh, Nixon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Clinton have been impeached if the economy was tanking instead of skyrocketing in the late 90's? Censure seems the most likely compromise.
