>one of those drug dealers hooked on their own stuff

Yes, this one. He is ignorant so he's unable to distinguish lie from truth, good from bad. America is so scr...d: unless they one day they get smart enough to boot this brain-dead thing out of office. But there's little hope that there's enough intelligent people in american to do this before it's too late and the damage cannot be undone; and america is nothing but a third-world country ruled by a despot/terrorist/ceo whore.

Did Trump order Flynn to talk to the Russians?

What did Trump know and when did he know it?
>>
Can someone try to justify the phony outrage that libtards have been spewing these last few days? I mean, let's pretend the russians did "hack the election". All they literally did was improve transparency in the Democratic party and show just how scummy and corrupt they are. Why is that so egregious? Are we apparently not meant to know how corrupt they are? Should we be angry that we've been made aware of this information? How fucking dare those dastardly russians!

Can one of you libtards explain this to me PLEASE. why am I meant to get angry at what they have done???
>>
>>112161
This doesnn't make any sense (not that it did before)

Supposedly, Trump is a Russian agent. Who just fired Flynn for being a Russian agent. This should be a good thing for their stupid ass conspiracy hypothesis.

RUSSIA BAD TRUMP BAD I guess.

A foreign power stole secrets from one of our nation's governing bodies. It then used those secrets to affect our politics.

Divorced from partisanship that itself is unacceptable.

Holy shit, the news is so interesting lately. I love watching Trump's administration blow up.

>>112163

hmm, are you saying that the revelation of the corruption in the DNC is a bad thing?
>>
>>112161
They're selectively attacking one political party because to advance their own interests. It isn't the end of the world but it's something that's concerning,
>>
>>112165
No. I'm saying a foreign government stealing secrets is unacceptable. Are you suggesting that we should have the government and all its dealings completely transparent?

This is like the NSA leaks. Which were criminal, morality aside. Except this time the perpetrators do not have America's interests in mind.
>>
>>112165

If the Chinese hacked the Republicans and revealed their corruption, would you find that acceptable?

If yes, then you are at least consistent.

If no, you are a partisan faggot.

More seriously, it's the use of selective "corruption revelations" to alter the outcome of an election to favor the interests of a foreign power (whose intentions may not align with the effected nation). Imagine if you have two assholes running for office (not hard to imagine I'm sure), candidate A and B, and someone leaks embarrassing secrets about B. Suddenly everyone votes for A. However, it turns out that both A and B were equally corrupt, or even worse asshole A was more corrupt, but kept it secret because the leaker had a vested interest in candidate A or a greater dislike of B. The voters have effectively been duped into believing they voted for the morally superior candidate, when in reality they might have been tricked into choosing the candidate less suited for them.
>>
>>112161
Because you keep labeling every outcry of opposition against trump as liberals. Everyone who is half sane in this country opposes trump because he is corrupt, he tells obvious white lies to everyone, over embellishes his support and influence, and constantly tries to undermine the law. The least educated voting demographic in America elected a billionaire because he said he would act in the interest of the lower class and played on irrational and misinformed fears generated by a sensational media. Politicians in the Capitol aren't stopping him from doing outrageous things because they are so tribalisticly bipartisan they support anything that has the word "republican" attached to it.
>>
>>112168
This is such a poor analogy I can't believe you've actually run with it. "revealing the corruption of candidate A was a mistake, in case candidate B was corrupt too!". You're a useful idiot and a fucking coward
>>
>>112170
Not to mention that the only way to overcome corruption is to always expose it. Don't want leaked emails damaging your presidential bid? Don't fix the primaries, don't say to a bunch of bankers that your public and private positions are different. It's that simple!

Clinton and the DNC were punished for their corruption and sleaze. This is a good thing.
>>
>>112169
> Everyone who is half sane in this country opposes trump because he is corrupt, he tells obvious white lies to everyone, over embellishes his support and influence, and constantly tries to undermine the law. The least educated voting demographic in America

The least educated voting demographic in America is the black population and they were the demographic most likely to vote for the Democrats, like they are in every election. 9 to 1 in fact. By the largest margin, the dumbest demographic in the US was also the most likely to vote Democrat. Let that sink in. What does it tell you?

crying about actual investigative journalism exposing a literal lifetime of corruption, graft, double-dealing, lies, possible murders, bizarre code-talk, pay-to-play, slush funding, conspiracy, collusion etc. etc. etc. is not the fault of the investigative journalists.

it's the fault of the people that actually committed those crimes, and if she lost the presidency because of those countless literal felonies, then that's a good thing.

if trump was corrupt i'd want it exposed, and you can wager money on the fact that they've already tried. probably for a year+ now. what've they got, a bunch of conveniently appearing and disappearing rape charges? zzzzzzzz

if the left didn't want to lose, they shouldn't have fielded hillary "lifetime of skullduggery" clinton, man.
>>
>>112169
>he tells obvious white lies to everyone

Again, you misunderstand the situaton and lack any sense of nuance so you start foaming and whinging like every other libtard. Trump tells small lies that don't matter. He tells big truths. He is *literally* the anti-politician hero in this regard. He does the exact opposite of what every other politician in history has done.

They all tell dumb, ideological big lies like "diversity is our strength", "we are a nation of immigrants", "immigration makes us stronger", "Islam is a religion of peace" etc. Trump does the exact opposite to this. He speaks the truth on the big, ideological issues. He tells lies on immaterial things like crowd sizes at his inauguration. Who gives a shit about the latter? Why does it matter? It doesn't, the only truths that are worth the time are the big truths.

You and every other retarded, dribbling anti-Trump mongrel does not understand this distinction. That's why you're losers
>>
>>112173
>fake correlation

what? Blacks voted 90 to 10 for Clinton. Black people have an average intelligence a FULL standard deviation below the white mean. They are by far the dumbest demographic in the US. And yet you claim it's white Republicans who are the dumbest, with no evidence to corroborate your statement. You're literally full of shit and don't have a point lmao, now you're backtracking
>>
>>112161
I have no love for Hillary and I'm honestly still pissed that the DNC didn't give Bernie a fair chance, but the problem here is that Russia was deliberately trying to shift the election in a direction that would get the US out of their way (see Trump's statements about NATO just for starters). The email leaks were vastly sensationalized anyway, the only objectionable part is the stuff about the skewed primary which isn't actually illegal, everything else that was leaked was completely benign- please name something other than that from the emails that was actually worth making a fuss over. Meanwhile, the investigation into the matter revealed that the RNC had been also had their data hacked, but nothing ever got leaked from them which suggests that the goal of the leaks wasn't to increase transparency or anything of the sort, but to favor one side over the other. Given Trump's ties to Russian banks and his refusal to release info about his tax returns, this implies that a foreign power may have leverage over him in some way, and it should be obvious why this isn't a good thing- we'll have to see what the investigation turns up but its not looking good for him.

>>112176
>by far the dumbest demographic

>>
>>112177
Additionally, its worth noting that probably the biggest element of Russia trying to influence the election isn't the DNC hack- its their online propaganda efforts. I know that many trump supporters have tried to redefine the whole "fake news" term in their favor, but what people were originally referring to was the completely made up rumors that were spreading on the internet and not biased reporting- both CNN and Fox are biased, but they generally don't just completely make shit up, and if they get something wrong by mistake they go back and change it. "Fake news" refers to things like the stories claiming that the Pope endorsed Trump (he actually criticized many of Trump's goals) or the story about a warehouse full of fake ballots which was later revealed to be a photoshop of some random warehouse in Europe. This sort of "fake news", along with gratuitous amounts of astroturfing, were the big way that Russia worked to influence the election, and if the Trump campaign was actively working with the foreign intelligence agencies responsible for it, it doesn't look favorable for them.

What's the easiest way to improve your legitimacy? Sell out someone who is no longer useful. Flynn stopped being useful when a magnifying glass parked above him. Probably wouldn't have even gotten reprimanded if he didn't get caught.

Not saying I believe in the theory, but you're pretty fucking dense for not seeing the reasoning behind it. Even if he's not a Russian agent, he did it to boost his appeal.

>Supposedly, Trump is a Russian agent. Who just fired Flynn for being a Russian agent
Simplistic flawed and shallow thinking.
It is not about who is and who is not a Russian agent. That is a matter for deeper investigation.
The Trump administration is showing expected signs of inexperience in governance. But I detect that they consider that a badge of honor.
They seem to be ignorant of the law and express bravado about how they are above the law.

Trump engaged (read foreign policy) with the Egyptians when he was merely President Elect. Flynn engaged with the Russians when he was a private citizen (a crime). He was already under investigation by the military for engaging with the Russians which I understand is a breach of his retirement rules.

Flynn supposedly lied to the VP about his call. It now seems that a number of the Trump people contacted the Russians. I suspect that Flynn is, as he said, a scapegoat for the Trump people, and that someone (probably somewhere in the vicinity of Bannon) had issued instructions to contact the Russians.

This is first and foremost a matter of crimes having been committed. That is why Spicer is spinning this as a breach of trust. BULLSHIT.

The Acting AG had reports from the FBI and warned the WH weeks ago about the calls.
THEY ALREADY KNEW.

Trump probably didn't know. He was playing golf or was unable to read the memo.
>>
>>112204
Flynn fucked up and lied, that's why he got fired. That is a good thing regarding President Trump. I trust him even more now.

>Trump engaged (read foreign policy) with the Egyptians when he was merely President Elect
HOLY SHIT EVERY BODY LOOK AN ACTUAL CRITICISM

Good job. This bothers me a tad. Less so because Obama is literally a traitor to America, I understand Trump stepping on his toes.

My issue was not the leaks, but the intention behind them. Exposing corruption? Okay. Deliberately exposing only one corrupt group and then hyping it to kingdom come for the express purpose of benefiting your preferred candidate (and by extension your own agenda)? This is not acceptable. It wasn't when Nixon did it and it isn't when the Russians did it. Sorry if I miscommunicated this point.

Republicans are ignoring the fact that a foreign power influenced our election because it helped /theirguy/. They don't care about democracy, only the appearance of it, and empty nationalism instead of patriotism to the values of our forefathers and to our constitution. As long as they are in power and are able to make money for their corporate friends and fulfill their twisted ideology of christian supremacy they will not stop, ever. If that's not unamerican, I don't know what is.

I would give it two years before you cite poll numbers without looking at the methodology. the few in that list that allow you to look at where their numbers come from are laughably bad.

As and example from that list, CNN interviewed 1000 people by phone and then only used 500 of those results for the approval ratings. The pdf they distribute doesnt give demographics for who they asked on approval, just some of the policies. Strange how heavy the weighting is towards the young women of color that descibe themselves as democrats/liberal leaning
