    Now there is a chance of some Russia collusion evidence being leaked by wikileak.

    He pissed off Putin, so if there are evidence such as phone or video showing Trump advisers making deals during the election, there is a small chance of them showing up on wikileak, but they won't implicate Trump himself.

    Wow, now this is being interpreted as "the Russia election thing is disproven!" Coz people never double cross in politics. And Trump is loyal to the end (Giuliani: bye! Chris Christie: bye! Bannon: ur demoted, my friend!) Anyways, thank the Christian God we killed those Syrians so Trump can win the "fake news" war.

    You might be right, it could be Russian move to disprove the collusion as well, an intriguing chess game.

    why would Trump make deals with Russia? clearly they are not in cahoots if he just attacked Syria.

    Its a smoke screen to get people talking about syria and not what russia may have or may not have done with the election.

    Overall I am pleased that there is some skepticism on the drive to go to war on Syria and Assad. There was little even as we tore Libya apart. For Iraq there was about 95% cheerleading on the bbs and belief as the mainstream media, the NYT, CNN, MSNBC, Fox and the original networks merely reported what Bush Cheney fed them. The fledging liberal media almost without fail got it right on the aluminum tubes, dirigibles with wmd, Niger (iirc) uranium, curve ball and other planted defectors, Colin Powel's lying etc on all of the so called "evidence" for wmd that even today some apologists still push.

    Liberals are melting down. Their Russia diversion tactic has crumbled and now Trump is acting all Presidential. Plus huge win getting Gorsuch in! Tough week for the liberals!

    You're assuming that Russia cares about this, among other things.

    LOL... Trump and the republicans needed to resort to changing Senate rules on voting to get Gorsuch passed... what an accomplishment!

    If Senate rules hadn't changed to where paper filibusters were a thing, then there would have been no need.

    You mean when the Republicans invoked the 'REID rule'? I wonder who that is named after?

    Since its the first time the senate invoked this rule for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court... you can call it anything you want, but its still on the republicans.

    It's the first time a paper filibuster was used to block a SCOTUS appointment.....so you can blame both parties if you like, but I blame the one that was being petulant about not getting their way with a previous nominee and attempting to jam things up for no valid reason. Hell if you REALLY want to blame someone, blame those who invented the paper filibuster and essentially destroyed the traditional filibuster.

    Basically since the parties can't use the filibuster responsibly and get along, they need to lose it. The filibuster was essentially created on accident to begin with and the current form is nothing at all like what it used to be. The current filibuster is kind of an awful thing that is just begging to be abused....and it has been abused more and more every year.

    Also, don't be a hypocrite, if the situation was reversed the Democrats would have done the exact same thing and you'd applaud the move.

    Donald Trump has a simple mind, and seeing horrific videos of people dying was just the button that needed to be pushed for him to do something, anything, all else be damned. If there is any Russia/Trump collusion, this doesn't sway it either way.
