This guy plays both sides. It's pretty clear from simply reading the actual article. Regardless of which side he "favors" lock him up is the correct action to take here. And I think he needs it if he indeed did what he is accused of and for longer than Russian Troll got.

Funneling foreign money into elections is illegal. That's what they did.

Quit spouting BS. Don't be naive. Don't be ignorant. By and large it is Conservatives are the true cause for illegal migration. The reason is they knowingly employ them to reduce their labor costs and fill jobs it would take paying Americans far more to do. They have done it for decades upon decades at this point. There were "migrants" when I was a kid and long before. They wandered the country doing farm jobs that Americans, including American teens, didn't want and were incapable of doing well. Then came the era of St. Raygun. All of a sudden there was a flood of illegal immigrants. They took good paying jobs and knocked wages through the floor. True these were jobs most Americans didn't want at first. They were not glamorous or complex jobs in general. They were and still are hard labor. Today we depend on illegals in these jobs. Especially with unemployment at 3.5%.

Yes liberals as well as conservatives have failed to come up with a solution. There are a couple reasons. The first being that conservatives know liberals are correct and it would cost them elections. Liberals more or less for the same reason in that they know it would cost elections too. But the main reason is the core of all our issues at this time IMHO - money in elections. The unlimited money, dark money and the ability of corporations and the ultra wealthy to influence elections is a sad comment on this country.

Yes racism is alive and strong in this country today. Yes I truly believe that racism is what killed this boy and so many others. There was no border crisis until Trump took over. Trump created one. Words have repercussions. And don't forget just how much Der Trumpf relies on them.

That post and the false equivalence is not only appallingly naive it is simply appalling.

What they went through is not what special forces go through. Not even remotely the same. Special Forces do what they do for a reason and they do it willingly - they can quit at any time. But those that see it through know there is an end in site. Their torment does not go on for days, weeks and months. They are not subjected to things like repeated water boarding. They are not forced to sleep naked in cold concrete cells without blankets for weeks and months. These people had no idea what would actually happen to them or when it might end.

You forgot the quotes. I would say he was disappeared...

Isn't that warning kinda sorta similar to the exact things that have got Trump into trouble? I mean really... I suppose Gaetz could be a real bozo and say "I was just saying" but it's an implied threat.

This is the kind of thing that sours me so much about the GOP today not to mention the mouth pieces that will proclaim him guiltless. If this was an isolated example fine - but it isn't. Not only was he reelected but he backed the bus over his own wife with his accusations.

I get it, you can point out Democrat candidates in the way back machine if you so choose (Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Marion Barry for example...) that did reprehensible things and were still elected. Those are now old and isolated. But when you claim to have such high standards and ethics and reelect swamp creatures like this - not to mention Donald Trump - you better think about your actions and the message they send and your moral position.

Flagrant disregard for the law and ethics seems to be the GOP motto of today while they point fingers and claim the moral high ground. I think their moral position can be found somewhere near the bottom of the Grand Canyon and not the top of Denali...

I dare say mental illness likely played a role...

He was pretty old - I'm betting he already reproduced if he was going to...

You are worried about corruption and you support Trump? LMAO!

BTW - What did the company that hired Hunter get out of it? What did Joe Biden do for them? Companies hire people like Hunter all the time. Yes they certainly do so hoping to get influence out of the deal. Is it illegal? Nope. Should it be? Nope, but it's not really ethical no matter what.

Is influence peddling illegal? Yep. Now show us the crime. What did the company get out of Joe Biden for hiring his son?

I'm sure I will hear crickets. Because there's no evidence of wrongdoing on his part or the former vice president's.

They weren't in effect since 11/1. Trust me on that one. They let some of the actual black Friday pricing out on Sunday but not all and it wasn't all month for sure.

My mind is simply blown. GOP = the definition of criminal stupidity.

I agree the pause of the $400Mill payment to Ukraine would have been a quid-pro-quo IF .. IF .. the money would ONLY have been paid AFTER Pres Zewlenski had announced or done an investigation as Pres Trump asked. BUT the truth is the money WAS released to Ukraine AND Javelins were also sold to Ukraine without .. WITHOUIT .. any announced investigation or any investigation at all. That my friends is a PRO-BONO deal!

#27 | Posted by SJHamilton

The money was released after it was revealed to Trump there was an official complaint made. Then a string of email messages show they were trying to come up with a cover story for why the aid was withheld - AFTER the fact. The truth is Trump and Co knew they were caught.

Speaking of not knowing basic facts... Every single you stated was factually incorrect.

Let me just start by saying Zelensky was elected during Trump's presidency mainly as a reaction to the lack of work on corruption. Obviously Obama has nothing to do with his presidency and take on corruption at all - zero.

The founder of Crowdstrike? CrowdStrike was co-founded by George Kurtz (CEO), Dmitri Alperovitch (CTO) and Gregg Marston (CFO). You are referring to Dmitri Alperovitch. Dmitri is not "anti-Russian". He is anti-Putin and anti-corruption - big difference. He emigrated from Russia as a 14-year old. He is an American citizen who lives in Washington DC...

Let me finish by saying you apparently don't know your head from your a-- when it comes to computers.

I don't know you but you better hope they don't take it away from you.

I say good for her but this woman is in extremely good shape, strong and lucky the dude was drunk. My Grandmother did something similar when she was in her late 70s while they held my grandfather at knife point. There was three of them and she only annoyed them - thankfully they only took the items she was using away from her. Police caught them a few blocks away as the neighbor chased them through the alley and gave them a car description and plate.

Don't forget the WH emails discussing how to describe the Quid Pro Quo as not a Quid Pro Quo AFTER it all came out.

The man has my sympathy. Cancer treatment is brutal. The chemo is bad but generally not as bad as it used to be but the radiation... Especially the radiation. After helping my mother this past year as she went through it for breast cancer I can't imagine radiation on your neck/throat. (She is "cancer free" at this time.)

Yet another example of why you don't smoke...

Kind of fits a large segment of this country at this time.

RoC will be along anytime to say there was no Quid Pro Quo and that this was perfectly legal...

How many men would lie under oath to save their marriage and reputation? No honest ones.

#55 | Posted by Avigdore

Honest is relative in situations like we are discussing. I dare say ordinarily honest people would lie under oath to save their marriage if they actually valued it. Not so honest people would do it to avoid issues during the divorce or protect from lawsuits...

Jeff maybe. He will actually have an intelligent conversation if you engage him.

But let's be real instead of just babbling lay out the actual facts not the alternative ones and discuss what is legal, ethical and legitimate versus downright illegal, unethical and illegitimate. I know RoC will dodge and spin vs being nailed down to admit something is wrong but whine about something half as bad if a "liberal" did it. Actual legitimate complaints about deflections and whataboutisms are time and time again directed at posters like RoC here. Not fake complaints like RoC threw up here.
