So is there an actual list somewhere of the Steele Dossier claims that aren't true? Genuinely curious why the entire document is roundly cast aside as FAKE NEWS when so little of it to my knowledge has been proven inaccurate.

Your DCCC shilling is embarrassing.

Btw, here's a little tidbit on one of your favorite corporate Democrats -- Dianne Feinstein, who you've defended in this thread:

In 1984, Feinstein was mayor of San Francisco. The city, for some reason, was flying a Confederate flag as part of an “historic display” in Civic Center. A black man named Ritchie Bradley scaled a 40-foot flagpole to tear down the flag, and he and another protester burned it. The two men were arrested and charged with vandalism.

Feinstein’s administration had a new Confederate flag put up.

From the 1984 Harvard Crimson:

Bradley climbed the flagpole in San Francisco again later last month—to replace the Confederate flag with the historic 33-star Fort Sumter garrison flag, donated to the city to celebrate the removal of the flag. Mayor Dianne Feinstein ordered that flag removed.

Bradley returned to take the flag down once again, this time replacing it with a Union flag.


(For context: The DNC was to be held in San Francisco that year. Feinstein was in the running for the vice presidential nod, and Southern Dixiecrats were still a force in the party with considerable power.)


Or how about Hillary Clinton, who was a proud Barry Goldwater supporter, and who's husband locked up millions of black people under the guise of "fighting crime."

I could go on and on about the Democrats and their pandering to minorities. In the end, they're as terrible as the Republicans. But keep on living in your make believe world where the Democrats are the beacon oh goodness and hope. :lol:

I've got to 72 years old and have things that I have done that I'm not proud of especially before I was introduced to the real world. As a youngster I'm sure I said the N word and made jokes of other ethnics groups. My views of the world changed walking down the halls of school and hearing JFK had been shot. They expanded when I went to W&M being in a more vibrant culture racially than basically 99.9% white rural southern Ontario. Life is growth some people grow and others devolve unfortunately.
I was an active Young Republican, and, later, a Goldwater girl, right down to my cowgirl outfit and straw cowboy hat emblazoned with the slogan “AuH2O.”

My ninth-grade history teacher, Paul Carlon, was, and still is, a dedicated educator and very conservative Republican. Mr. Carlson encouraged me to read Senator Barry Goldwater’s recently published book, The Conscience of a Conservative. That inspired me to write my term paper on the American conservative movement … I liked Senator Goldwater because he was a rugged individualist who swam against the political tide.

Lot of wanting in this post.

I'm almost certain I've never once mentioned Dianne Feinstein in this thread. Really have no idea what you're even talking about.

I've also said many times that I was never a big Hillary supporter although she was obviously 10000x better a candidate than Dotard.

Your entire post is one big straw man and you should feel bad about it

Straw man? Says the guy who waves blue colored pompoms. Every time you shill for the Democrats you look sillier and sillier.

Always makes me laugh how MAD people get over my posts.

Pro tip: for as mad as you are right now, you need to understand that I am not, and I don't actually care about your opinion at all.

I wouldn't hold HCs support for Goldwater against her. She was only a high-schooler still under the influence of her parents and teachers. Her support for Bill's racist policies in the 90s are another story. It was pure cynical political expediency. She may not of even agreed with the policies.
Many HC voters in 2016, like myself, held their nose and voted for her anyway.
Who did you vote for?
It's ironic that HC won the nomination on the strength of African American support in the southern states. Her sweep of the south ensured her victory over Sanders. These states didn't even matter in the general election since they were lost cause.

Ok. I gotta step in here now.

Yeah, I assume gtn is a Democrat or leans that way...but he has acknowledged the party's shortcomings.

Now with that being said, he believes that at it's core the Democratic Party is the superior party.

I understand that you may not believe that but judging from the popular vote the majority shares gtn's view.

Note to Nunberg - Get a book deal to cover the legal fees and more. It's the American way.

The "well deserved" concern over the Russia investigation part there plus today's revelation makes me think Mr. Brennan knows things we the public don't know just yet.

Nunberg is refusing to turn over his emails.. as if that will stop Mueller from obtaining them.

I've assumed all along that the golden showers story is true. I don't even really know any of the alleged details, but come on, that's gotta be a safe bet.

The Russian inquiry is gaining steam getting closer and closer to indictments would expect another round soon. Expect Page to be one of them the DOJ & FBI have a hard on for him after the Nunes Memo. They will let Kushner hang in the wind for awhile as they round up people around him. I'm sure the FBI has caught Hicks in a number of lies and will look to flip her. Undoubtedly she has incriminating evidence on everyone in the Trump family. Mueller is a incredible prosecutor as well as having the A+ team around him.
