rushmc 23 #851 July 13, 2017 billvon>He is currently defending him! Of course he is tweeting that he does. But don't forget - historically, most of what he says is false. Once Trump Jr. goes down for this, Trump will distance himself as much as possible. "Look, I support him 100% - but I didn't know about the meeting, I wasn't there, and it had nothing to do with me. It was all him." Actually Most of what you post about him is what is false"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

You make this easy Bill........ You really do make this easy Rush - did you notice how Trump made a specific point of stating that it was just a Russian lawyer, not a Russian government lawyer? Do you think that's because there would be something pretty dodgy about meeting with a Russian government lawyer? Because the email chain explicitly told Trump Jr that the meeting he was setting up was going to be with "The Russian government attorney"Oh, and it's also the first sighting of a brand new excuse - "he was in the meeting but wasn't paying attention"Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The question is if it breaks the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 as amended. There are lawyers who say he did, there are lawyers who say he didn't. From my reading of the act, I think he did. I could explain to you why, but would likely just get some stupid one liner with an emoji in response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winsor 236 #862 July 14, 2017 It kind of blows me off that it escapes some people that politicians of any stripe are narcissistic wankers. It reminds me of the Onion tee shirt that says 'the sports team from my area is superior to the sports team from our area.' At least with the Onion it's a joke. The fact that people get all breathless saying 'the guy/gal/other that I oppose is a complete asshole!' simply amazes me. So what else is new? News flash - the guy/gal/other that you support is equally an asshole. Being a misanthrope helps to keep one's outlook balanced, if unfair. As you were.

In the long run the Catholic Church has made ISIS look like rank amateurs when it comes to death and destruction, but there is the appearance of civilization that makes it 'acceptable.' It is beyond ironic that the symbol of the Roman organization that ostensibly follows a nice Jewish boy is the means by which Rome executed him. The People's Temple was acute, Christianity in general is chronic; Jonestown resolved itself in short order, but the various sects that persist are orders of magnitude more destructive in the long run.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #870 July 14, 2017 Well, now there's a death. https://www.wsj.com/articles/gop-activist-who-sought-clinton-emails-killed-self-1500002994?mod=e2fb WSJ article, sometimes these links only go to a paywall. QuotePeter W. Smith, a Republican political activist and financier from Chicago who mounted an effort to obtain former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails from Russian hackers, died on May 14 after asphyxiating himself in a hotel room in Rochester, Minn... ...a pile of documents and a statement that police called a suicide note were found with his body. The note said that Mr. Smith had been ill and that he held a life-insurance policy that was due to expire, the Tribune reported. Mr. Smith apologized in the note and said that “no foul play whatsoever” had occurred with his death, according to the Tribune... Well, obviously, if the note found by the body says that there was no foul play, then nothing suspicious happened. Could be he was really sick. Could be he saw the writing on the wall and knew what was coming with respect to Russia and Trump, could be that he was killed to silence him. I honestly don't know which, but given the conspiracy stories that surrounded Vince Foster's death, Alex Jones and his ilk should be foaming at the mouth...

billvon 3,008 #874 July 14, 2017 Well, that didn't take long. July 10. Mark Corallo (Trump's legal spokesman) - "The President was not aware of, and did not attend, the meeting." Trump on Air Force 1 July 13: "In fact maybe it was mentioned at some point." He is having more and more trouble keeping his lies straight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
