  1. It's a tough call and I won't hold it against him for trying but you have to wonder what the net effect of a stand out performance followed by nonstop negative propaganda is. Probably helped with the democratic base who tuned in or will see clips but probably didn't do much for reaching your typical Fox news viewer. Make no mistake, Fox News will go all in on relecting Trump. They keep guys like Chris Wallace around for plausible deniability.
  2. There's a place for him in this race but he hasn't quite figured it out yet. Wasted a lot of the enthusiasm from the beginning but I wouldn't write him off yet. Kind of wishing he was running against Cornyn though. Really wish he was the Junior Senator from Texas today.
  3. Three reasons the Alfa bank stuff is still interesting: (1) Despite several independent analyses there's not a simple innocent explanation; (2) The New Yorker article talks about the FBI investigating the Alfa Bank-Trump communication; (3) The unredacted portions of the Mueller report are silent on it, what's under the redactions?
  4. And someone could have set it up for him. Here's the New Yorker article on the Alfa bank contacts. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/was-there-a-connection-between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign/amp
  5. Boom. And we're extra vulnerable cause the moron ripped up the TTP. China can use this to expand it's influence in the Pacific so they're kind of in a no lose situation. They also don't have to worry much about populist unrest but on our side there's a good chance the Dotard will be gone in 20 months. So much winning.
  6. Ya know, "the Democrats spied on me" thing. So they took all these risks, lying by to get a FISA warrant or whatever the claim is--and nevermind all the issues with that. But they did all this to survell.... Carter Page in order to....??
  7. That article seems a little fair. He certainly had failures but also had successes. He benefited from his family's wealth and position in advancing. See the child of every elite in America. Being a white male helped too. Now let's listen to what he has to say. Going to be interesting to see where he's going. Still seeing a lot of grassroots Beto efforts up here in Northern Virginia, and I still see him drawing large crowds. National poll numbers continue to decline, though, and this narrative of the privileged white kid keeps percolating in the national media.
  8. Yep, no telling who the democratic nominee will be at this point but you can guarantee they'll be a radical leftist on Fox News.
  9. She'd make a fine attorney general too with a focus on civil rights, voting and criminal justice reform, if she wants it.
  10. Gave commencement speech at Paul Quinn College, a HBCU.
  11. Why do we want to kill terrorists?
  12. Pretty sure that's the country we invaded that was actually tied to the 9/11 attacks. At some point our activities in Afghanistan became about something else, and maybe we could have responded to Al Qaeda without invading, but the origins of the actions were to protect national security. Preserving national security preserves American values and our government, including freedom of speech. There's a lot to be debated about our foreign engagements, but soldiers holding honest beliefs that they serve to protect American values and freedoms is not one of them, and not bullshit.
  13. Apparently this happened to Pete in Dallas. Love his response. Couldn't find a video focused on him with the response. The republican party is the party of that lady and MAGA hats. Good luck with that.
  14. There are tons of articles out there comparing the dossier to what was proven by Mueller. About 70-80% has been supported, 10% shown to be false and 10-20% is still unverified, could be true. You can go search and pick your preferred comparison. It's also been discussed in this thread. How could you be so obtuse? Here, this is a good fact-based comparison: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/04/24/what-steele-dossier-said-vs-what-mueller-report-said/.
  15. Please do this. Let them all get together. While we're at it, let them build their walled conservative utopian colony that Glenn Beck wanted to start up a few years ago. Who is John Galt?
  16. Eh, if every democratic running for president isn't soliciting help from a foreign country, then they're just not trying to win. Trump revolutionized campaigning. We're in a new world, guys. Let the foreign solicitation flow. All legal btw. AG out front should have told ya.
  17. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/03/us/politics/trump-putin-phone-call.html Discussed "Russian hoax", McGahns testimony and nothing about Russia's interference or if they would do it again in 2020. So with the SC investigation over, he's just colluding in plain site now. Expect him to roll out the pro Russian policies now that the heats lessening and he thinks he has Barr to protect him.
  18. I think his strategy is going to work out just fine. This "I've been everywhere" thing will start getting some attention and his focus on social and local media probably makes better and more sustainable connections with voters than cnn Town Halls. Once the name recognition starts to equalize among top candidates what's going to matter is enthusiasm among a base support. I don't think you do that through a few good moments on cable.
  19. Biden could have served his party and country better by opting out and instead focusing on a grassroots effort targeting working class voters in the Midwest/Pennsylvania. He's not the candidate for this moment and his lack of enthusiasm within the Dem ranks is going to kill him. There's too many compelling candidates running.
  20. Don't worry guys, Amy's got this. Just have to try harder to work with the party of liars and traitors.
  21. How quickly does he crash and burn? First debate? Before?
  22. We elected dotard to fall into anarchy. So there you go. You're a traitor. Anyone who continues to support this president is a traitor. I still give a damn about the truth and a future for my kids, and I'm not going to forget what this party did to jeopardize both. So go fuck yourself.
  23. You said majority. Majority do not want this.
  24. Majority of the country do not want this shit stain criminal in the oval office. And the majority never did. Even on election night. So go fuck yourself. .
  25. I think a long-term polling at 29% shows he's vulnerable.
