    Exactly. He can choose to use the Pepe frog as his icon, and even claim that he isn't alt-right, but it's silly to blame other people for labeling him as alt-right.

    I like pepe. Can't help you have adopted a negative view. For most people he represents cheeky fun. You seriously need to chill out. Character assassination it definitely was. That's when you attack someone rather than their ideas. Where is your argument? Or do you even have one.

    Where is your argument?

    Looks like you don't have one. Just more hot air. Quick attack my avatar like the others some more so you can feel morally superior rather than having to string together an argument.

    Are you r****ded? England is a foreign country. That makes their intel foreign. It's not complicated to understand. How hard is it to grasp a simple concept like that? You are not British. We are not British. So is their intel foreign or domestic? You tell me please. I'll wait.

    You are niave to trust foreign intelligence. I'll wait for the FBI findings.

    LOL. Here I'll quote it better, "just foreign intel". Why is it naive to trust foreign intelligence when they've been our strongest and most trusted ally in modern times? Because its inconvenient to your views? They tipped us off. Our own agencies, namely the FBI thinks that Russia used Trump advisers to influence the election. Just stop.... since it's clear you don't even know what the FBI is saying.

    That could honestly mean so many things. They haven't even said that much yet. Russia could have influenced, and I would love to see the evidence they have found and what findings they have solid proof of. If so, let's impeach Trump, or take whatever steps need to be taken. So far, it's all hot air. And yes, British intelligence is suspect. You're acting like they don't have their own interests at stake. Furthermore, it's an unverified report, meaning the contents are not verified. I am waiting to see what gets verified. How hard is it to understand that some people don't take people's word on blind faith? There are people out there who have a higher bar than you regarding what they believe.

    Lol. The FBI got a FISA warrant for Page because the British tipped them off. It's more than hot air at this point.

    Why is British intelligence suspect? Give me something concrete.

    Again parts of the dossier have been verified and I posted one link in this thread discussing the fact.

    Good lord how many times do I have to read that apparently there is NO evidence to warrant an investigation.

    https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf

    Our own F-ing government acknowledges it happened and made the case in the declassified document that hey "Americans... this happened and we need to look into it".

    Yes the Pee Story hasn't been confirmed yet, and we don't have evidence yet that Trump himself was actually committing treason or if he was just a useful idiot but we at least know he was being used as a useful idiot and that's a fact and that's a problem. Read the report and tell me otherwise.

    Why do the trolls continue to successfully (I might add) continue to spew narrative that "this is all heresay" and a liberal conspiracy theory?

    Everything this guy said. And no it's not a liberal conspiracy theory. Blowing their load a bit early though... yeah.

    LOL. No just gathering more information, which keeps adding more fuel to issues with the Trump campaign. I personally don't believe Trump committed treason, but since he "hires the best people", it sure makes him look more like an idiot and further the opinion this man isn't competent.

    Even Fox discussing the connections between Trump campaign and Russian agents attempting to influence the election. But natch, carrying the water for the Trump campaign... "short lived advisory council member", "never actually met with the president-elect", "meddling", "though no evidence of vote tampering."

    And odd... Fox News somehow is the one that receives this letter. Wonder why?

    Trump lawyer told Carter Page to 'cease' calling self adviser, as Russia concerns intensified

    What do the two have to do with each other?

    To understand concerns with Trump and Russia you have to go back to the collapse of his casino business which slapped a "do not loan" sign on his name (guy couldn't even get a gaming license in Vegas because he was viewed as that much of a risk) which led him to have to start loaning money from other sources such as Russian banks and oligarchs.

    The issue with Trump and Russia never has had anything to do with Trump being a Russian spy. He's no James Bond... that's for damn sure. It's his financial ties to Russia having influence on his political positions. Also if he can be blackmailed.

    The crazy thing is Trump could easily clear this up on his own by doing what Americas have been asking him to do for other a year now. But what is he hiding that is so secretive it's not worth clearing his name over?

    So this has nothing to do with Trump being the Russian James Bond... its whether or not he's compromised financially and how much influence Russia gets in our political system because of it.

    If you don't demand answers to that then you just aren't a true patriotic American. You are a tribal team player who puts party above country. This is just an obvious situation where we see where American voters' priorities lie and it's sad to see how tribal our country has gotten.

    (That being said the latest reports show it's now a fact that Russians were also trying to insert "Russian James Bonds" onto the Trump administration. Carter Page being one of them although he's the worlds most bafoonish spy ive ever seen)

    I know the issue isnt he is a secret agent I'm being facetious.

    My overall point is that Trump is one of the most well known people in America

    I find the whole Russian story ridiculous
    No more ridiculous than the main stream media running with the serial unwanted groper story

    Everyone needs to relax
