    I thought this was bigger than Watergate? What happened to all the Outrage over Susan Rice? This outrage really fanned out quick.

    Did Trump launch missiles to get the focus off of Susan Rice or something?

    Haha. Sure.... I'm the troll. The White House was the one who fabricated a fake news story to get political attention off of the Orange King.

    That's why the Dems on the Senate told her NOT to testify because they caught wind of the fact that she would be turned into a GOP punching bag or pin cushion as a diversion tactic. The sole purpose of her being called to testify was to muddy the waters of the actual investigation and YOU KNOW THAT. They told her that if she testifies it will actually hurt the investigation moving forward.

    Again... the JOB of the NSA is the unmask people in intelligence reports. This is nothing but a diversion from Russiagate. Call me when she actually broke procedures or laws.

    hey, I am cool with Rice testifying. I think they all should be called before an independent committee and testify. Rice, Yates, Flynn, Kushner, Sessions, heck... even Commander in Cheetos. Our core institutions around democracy are important enough to take a thorough look at what happened and who did what.

    I rather agree. I know the Republicans on the committee want her to testify so they can play some political games, but she should testify anyway. They are going to unfairly malign her. Conservative voters will irrationally blame her. But that comes with the territory of a high-powered political job. Testify.

    Did you have a witty skin color based name for Obama like you do Trump? Or would that be racist?

    I am hoping your not equating jokes about fake tans (Trump, Boehner) and racist comments... or would that be a republican/conservative thing?

    Quit being racist and I may start laughing at your silly jokes. I know the left thinks "**** holster" and "cheetoes" is hilarious but it is quite juvenile and lazy IMO.

    Wow... so you do equate racism and "silly" jokes about fake tans. That explains a lot.

    No, I equate racism to jokes about skin color. There is no way that you would've openly mocked our last President's skin tone in a public forum like this without being questioned.

    Again, I will type slowly, so you can see how ridiculous your objection is... I am joking about a FAKE TAN that comes from a tube of lotion (not Trump's or Boehner's skin color)... and you are equating that to racism. Read that again. Say it out loud.

    And then come back and repeat your false outrage.

    I am not outraged at all. I just think it takes away from your serious post when you throw in a silly orange reference. I see it daily.

    Here is exactly what you said:

    So you equated what you admit is a 'silly orange reference" to jokes about the former President's skin color. Your need to defend Trump from even the mildest form of ridicule has you are equating jokes about fake tans (jokes that were leveled against Boehner for years) with racism. Think long and hard about that.

    -Because the investigationS are overwith? Do you REALLY think this is the last we hear out of this investigation? Are you that dumb?
    -Because there is NOT a vast amount of circumstantial evidence?

    -Like the FACT that Roger Stone was caught communicated with Gucipher 2.0
    -Like the FACT that Carter Page was recruited as a Russian intelligence source
    -Like the FACT that Michael Flynn took money from a Russian arm and didn't report it
    -Like the FACT that Nigel Farage was caught meeting with Julian Assange the same day Wikileaks had a massive release of intelligence
    -Etc Etc.... you want me to go on?

    Dude you need to wake the F up. NOBODY is saying the Trump has committed crimes. I don't want to see him go to jail. I just want to know that my president Isn't in debt to and have baggage with a hostile foreign power. That hostile foreign power that FYI wants nothing more than to destroy liberal Democracy. NOBODY is chanting "Lock Him Up" like you were with Hillary I'm sure.

    You are a partisan hack, and a really really UNPATRIOTIC AMERICAN if even JUST this circumstantial evidence doesn't bother you and at least make you ask for a non-partisan investigation to ensure that future presidential campaigns are not influenced at this level by a HOSTILE foreign power.

    If you don't at least agree with that notion than you are just as bad as the idiot kid at Berkley that might burn an American flag. If I was putting party and Trump-Ideology over country like you are now than I would expect you to call out the same bullsh#$.

    You sir... are a Trump Ideologue NOT a Patriotic American. I want you to look at that American flag you have sitting in your front lawn and think about where your loyalties stand.

    I didn't vote for Trump, but jokes about his spray tan cross the line.

    LOL at the idea that mocking Trump's unnatural orange hue is an act of racism. Haven't heard that one before.

    It is kind of juvenile, but given Trump's own preoccupation with the looks of other people and his propensity for personal insults, I'm finding it difficult to muster much outrage over it.

    The investigations are not over. Sally Yates is testifying on Monday, where she will report that she told the Trump administration about Michael Flynn's Russian connections.

    Wait a minute, are you telling me that is not a natural tan derived from a healthy outdoor lifestyle?

    This changes everything.
