He doesn't want war with Russia. They're a freaking nuclear power. The solution to their hacking is a diplomatic one, not reopening the cold war. It would help if WE stop messing in other nations' elections. Their cyber"war" ? Seriously? LOL Looks to me like the whole Trump/Russia/Collusion narrative is going up in the smoke that dreamed it up. Is this treason thing the last gasp?
Who the fuck cares? You're talking about sound bites. Who gives a shit? Actions speak louder than words and Denny already cited an action of Trump. Liberals are just ridiculous these days.
Uhhhhh burn. Sounds like Colin cowherd's elitist viewpoint. Any time some caller says a GM does something stupid, Cowherd says "he's getting paid millions, how much you make?"
Should I find it shocking that you know what "treason" is, yet you absolutely misuse the term in your accusations against the president?
Let's talk about yellow journalism, shall we? A few days ago, the so-called "news media" was harping on a story of Trump making it easier for the mentally ill to buy guns. The media wouldn't tell us the ACLU opposed the regulation that Trump overturned, too. http://reason.com/blog/2018/02/15/no-trump-did-not-make-it-easier-for-ment No, Trump Did Not Make It Easier for Mentally Ill People to Buy Guns Shooting revives deliberately misleading talking points about a bad regulation both the NRA and the ACLU opposed. None of this is a remotely accurate description of what happened. A year ago, Congress and Trump eliminated a proposed rule that would have included in the federal government gun background database people who received disability payments from Social Security and received assistance to manage their benefits due to mental impairments. This is a regulation that potentially deprived between 75,000 to 80,000 people of a right based not on what they had done but on the basis of being classified by the government in a certain way. The fact that these people may have these impairments did not inherently mean that they were dangerous to themselves or others and needed to be kept away from guns. As I noted when the regulation was repealed last March, this rule violated not just the Second Amendment but the Fourth, because it deprived the affected people of a right without due process. The government does have the power to restrict and even deny gun ownership to people, but it has to show that these people have engaged in behavior that makes weapons dangerous in their hands.
Since I mentioned CNN... Seems like the people are wising up to their brand of "journalism." http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/16/cnn-ratings-drop-30-percent/ CNN’s Primetime Ratings Drop 30 Percent From Same Time Last Year According toAdWeek, CNN “was -30 percent in total prime time viewers, and -23 percent in total day viewers from last year” for the week of February 5–11. CNN did not even crack the top 10 for primetime viewers on cable, while its competitors’, MSNBC and Fox News, were number two and number one, respectively. The network’s commentators and guests have often been critical of President Trump.
Trump is right about the Russians laughing at us. For good reason! 100 guys (allegedly) with $2M, and $100K of ad spending (most of it after the election) had more influence than the $100M+ in social media spend by the two candidates and their massive nationwide staffing?
Dem Senator, in the know, doesn't want Mueller to announce "no collusion" before the 2018 election. Read between the lines. http://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-...eller-against-issuing-russia-report-near-2018 Dem senator warns Mueller against issuing Russia report near 2018 election
Really? And it is best to begin this process with an Assistant AG and a Special Counsel proceeding independently, all on their own? The Secretary of State and the President have no role? Dang! This is all new to me. Where does the advise and consent of the Senate come in?
Since we love twitter. Check out the date. This person claims to know all about the hacks, but isn't getting main stream press. Even though the history of tweets shows inside knowledge about what went on.
President and Secy of State negotiate agreements and treaties, and enact policies within the powers granted to them by congress. The Senate must approve actual treaties.
Darn, I missed it again. I thought the Constitution, Section II granted that power, not the Congress. Well I guess technically, I guess it did come from Congress, way back when Section Two was adopted.
True. So is a declaration of war. None of which are a particularly great way to begin a diplomatic process. They usually wait for Secretary of State and the President to make a recommendation and and perhaps present a game plan. But then I have never seen a Special Counsel in the process at all. So I suppose we have a new process now. Funny I wonder if anyone knows how it works.
