    Hey, I for one hear you. It's too dramatic. But then... unnecessary trade wars, a weaker EU, a frayed NATO, and us accepting cyber attacks, in my opinion, makes the world a less safe place overall. Humanity has shown itself to default to war every so many years. Trade alliances and large defense alliances are built to help prevent a return to form.

    On the 2nd point there, I've definitely changed my mind or at least moderated my stances on a number of issues just by reading stuff in here. And if nothing else, I really do enjoy hearing the other side of things, to see what they're digesting and how they think about the country.

    It's really surreal. I hope the full truth comes out some day, whether its within Mueller's probe or not.

    It's like, if you were telling a guy to act guilty of colluding with Russia, he is checking every freaking box. LOL. I'm not at all saying he is guilty of anything (beyond his many personal and Trump-identified court settlements, fake universities, sexual harassment, and stiffing contractors and his personal driver, etc.)

    I just listened to a trump apologist defend Trump on the BBC. I'm so f""king embarrassed for my country right now. Guy said, basically, that Paul Ryan has never supported Trump so he is essentially a Democrat.

    It was like listening to BBC interviews from Germany in the 30's. The broenshirts defending him are way worse than the man himself.

    I've been pimping Roth's book, The Plot Against America, but his Lindbergh character is a lot more believable and sympathetic than 45. This is literally stranger than fiction.

    I can't wait to see the Trump pee tapes.


    Gonna be hilarious watching him try and fight his way out of that. I can't imagine how much arm swinging and air pinching the idiot will be doing.


    NO COLLUSION.

    Weird that this came out the same day as trump's meeting with putin. Any other day it would be a huge story. It provides the first possibility to a money trail between russia and trump's campaign. She also attended trump's inauguration and reached out to trump transition team members.

    Trumpsters stop at nothing to praise a selfish billionaire who is lining his coffers with their money. Lmao

    rand paul, on CNN refusing to criticize trump for his statements alongside putin. Instead, tries to blame Clapper, Brennan, and Democrats. Posits that he could have seen Obama doing the same. Claims Brennan was a communist. As bad a trump's performance was with putin, rand paul came close.

    Stupidly, I expected him to do that: make a tough public stand at the presser and then fluff the guy privately. But nope. All public. Yuck, cannot unsee.

    so you trust vladimir putin, president of russia and former kbg operative, more than every american intelligence agency?? am i reading this right???

    what exactly are you defending here? nevermind hillary isn't even an acting american politician anymore so her relevance in this trivial at best. you just had an american president defend one of if not THE biggest american enemy of the last 75 years, not long after criticizing many of our longest-standing allies, and you're excited? for what?? what america are you living in that you think what he did today is good for any of our national interests??

    you and your ilk are the embodiment of tribalism politics at its worst. the only thing that seems to get you off politically is to see people that don't share your fervor and blind loyalism to "your guy" get upset. that literally seems to be the only thing y'all care about.

    it's crazy.
