open question to the rest of the posters:

What is the pathway and the end game of the democratic/liberal/alt left party? Where are you going as a party? Why? How are you planning to get there?
like i said, its a full rebuild.

I doubt any of you truly care, but if you want to see an honest analysis of the FBI scandal, here's a good summary by someone who is no Trump fan:

And here's an interesting youtube video:

Joe di Genova is a well-known conservative lawyer and he is being interviewed by his conservative wife. Nothing wrong with that, but that's who is on the recording. Joe presented the right-wing talking/propaganda points and once-again stuck to the Republican deflection scheme. He called Robert Mueller a crazy man and spoke glowingly of Nunes, that kind of tells you where he is at.

Funny, he didn't once address ANY of the guilty pleas or information uncovered thus-far, he also didn't explain why it was that Trump and his inner-circle all lied about their contacts with Russians, regardless of how the information was obtained.

More of SD20's talking points completely debunked. This is what Republicans are deflecting loudly from



Fact, the Trump campaign knew about the Clinton email hack BEFORE it was publicly known.

Meanwhile, there is very credible evidence that Obama, Hillary and the FBI conspired to abuse the power of the State to surveil a political opponent during an election. So far, we've had 3 or 4 guys get fired, quit, announce their resignation, or be reassigned because of this, we've had 30,000 emails disappear as well as 50,000 texts, we've had the Trump administration abruptly move their operations to New Jersey during the transition period the day after a meeting he had with Admiral Rogers (to avoid the surveillance), and we've had Jim Comey revealing classified information to a friend and later reclassifying that friend as his attorney.

We'll see who is right as more evidence comes out.


You lost me here. This is just regurgitated right-wing flim flam. The moment you mention Hillary's 30,000 emails you lose all credibility.

Don't be a patsy! Think for yourself!

So 30,000 emails weren't lost, erased by BleachBit and cell phones weren't smashed?

Wow! When the New York Post and Fox News agree on a story, you know it must be true!


montestewart, you really should look into this. It's not some wacko conspiracy theory. There are A LOT of facts to support it and the timeline is highly suspect.

Hey buddy, if I had more time, maybe I would look into it. I was just commenting on how the New York Post seconding a Fox story doesn't do a lot to reinforce my confidence in the original story.

this scandal is being exposed.

its. happening. I have been talking about since March in these threads. I'm the only one here that has been telling the truth and even close to what has happened. nate has joined in recently. And he is right too. Mark Levin has been exposing this since march using simple FOIA to seek documents. Sara carter and Jonothon Solomon picked it up at the hill and did most of the leg work Hannity gave them a platform almost nightly.

The dominoes are already falling. and we have not even started the official investigation.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

Should we begin to worry about Nate & SD20?
Arthur Wagner was a leading member of a state chapter of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, whose slogan “Islam doesn’t belong in Germany” encapsulates its extreme nativist and anti-Muslim views.

The memo is an obvious fabrication from beginning to end and shame on all you patsies so easily manipulated into complicity with the forces of evil by agreeing to broadcast it. Stop being mindless sheep!

This is all an obvious distraction from a legit investigation into national security issues that involved collaboration between Russian kgb agents and Trump’s campaign staff. Also, Trump is engaged in a full on political purge of the FBI. He must be impeached and jailed immediately.

Even FOX NEWS knows that the network hosts are blatant fools.
Yet on Wednesday afternoon, Fox published an article on its website by reporter Jake Gibson, saying this theory was flatly wrong. Gibson writes, citing “federal law enforcement officials,” that the messages were deleted by a technical error, not malice — one that had affected not just Strzok and Page’s phones, but “thousands” of Bureau-issued devices between the dates of December 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017.

I get that administrations have the right to assign people to power in various capacities.
But the Trump administration is simply mentally challenged in some of it's appointments. :banghead: :banghead:
“Donald Trump promised the American public he would hire the ‘best people,’ but everywhere you look, he’s filled key jobs with under-qualified and inexperienced political loyalists,” said Austin Evers, executive director of American Oversight. “There are thousands of jobs at stake at the NAFTA negotiating table and you can be sure that Canada and Mexico aren’t sending their B-teams.”


“Other nations’ top negotiators might not want to negotiate with our underlings,” he said. “They need assurances that the person at the table is speaking for the president, and speaking for the United States. So when you put a low level functionary at the table with a high level negotiator, that negotiator might not be willing to put forth his country’s best offer because he can’t be guaranteed that whatever’s put on the table will remain on the table.”

Taylor Weyeneth, who graduated from college in May 2016, was named a White House liaison to the drug office in March and then promoted to deputy chief of staff in July, at age 23. His only professional experience after college and before becoming a political appointee was working on the Trump presidential campaign

It's not only youth but people like Kushner and Ivanka both totally unqualified for there roles.

I agreement until the remedy. It would be a first in US history and it would take an amazing bipartisan group to do so. Our current tribalism prevents this.

The 2018 mid-terms should put the Ds in place in the House at a minimum. I think just minimizing the damage through 2020 should be the goal? No?

This just shows how deep the liberal conspiracy goes. Even Republicans are Democrats!
