>And exactly none of them have anything to do with Trump collusion or Russia.

Four were Trump campaign members who lied about their dealings with Russia. Three have pled guilty to their crimes.


Try again!

Pretty easy to get them to plead guilty when you threaten them with additional charges if they don't. I have a feeling the real truth hasn't come out, but it will one day.

What does that have to do with politics?

Hannity is not a news show, its an opinion same with a few others on that list.

And tomorrow is a mystery

That's nothing. The Walking Dead has over twice the viewers as Hannity.

The point stands. Look at the list. CNN is becoming irrelevant. They have become so anti-Trump it's SAD!

I'm talking about News channels. I don't even watch TWD. It's completely irrelevant to the discussion.

******I find the stuff on here useful, even if the wider world doesn't care. I usually just lurk on SC for the latest summaries and news about the formerly unimaginable events of the Trumpworld "Presidential" Reality Show. Compiled by people who clearly follow events closely and have good memories & data sources, and clear reasoning, I find the info the most concise and useful around.

Unfortunately only rarely are there right wingers around who have reasoned arguments that actually encourage one to see things from another viewpoint or highlight issues that might otherwise get glossed over.

Most of the right-wingers have been run out of here by the vitriol of the left. I'm one of the few long-termers that have stuck around. Don't post as much as I used to I just point out the hypocrisy and the blatant lies.

I come here for the synopsis of the likes of CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC. Just a couple posts and you have it all. The talking points of those left-wing media sites are parroted here very quickly!

You know, speaking of TV news programs, it's quite telling, the direction this nation is going, when Hannity on Fox News has the highest rated news show, and Fox has 14 of the top 20. And then there's CNN's top show, Anderson Cooper 360, sitting waaaaay down there at 24. People are getting tired of CNN's bullshit.

I think you'll find that most Americans who remain informed do not do so by watching cable "news" shows. There's simply not a lot of quality news outlets on cable relative to other media formats. Arguing over which cable news source is better is like arguing about whether dog shit smells better than cat shit.

I'm talking about entertainment, which Hannity certainly qualifies for. People are entertained by his antics.

Really? These aren't poor, high school dropouts caught with an ounce of pot who are relying on flawed advice from a Public Defender who can't budget more than 45 minutes of work on their case.

These are educated, successful, wealthy people with well paid lawyers who have lived their entire adult lives inside the system. Hell, these are people who are the system. If the threat of additional charges is enough to make them plea-deal, it's going to be because they know those extra charges are legitimate and provable.

So really, what your argument sounds like to me is "Sure a bunch of Trump campaign associates have been indicted and/or found guilty - but it's ok because they've actually done way more crimes than they were charged with!" Is that the effect you were aiming for?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You're underestimating the power the FBI and other federal agencies wield, when someone has an axe to grind.

Right. Because the president is powerless when it comes to the evil FBI.

Anyway, what's wrong with obeying the law?

It seems much more likely that you're underestimating the power of wealth when it comes to purchasing a criminal defense.

The power to make wealthy, sophisticated, highly politically connected men afraid of completely made up charges? Nope, don't buy it.

The power to make them afraid of real, prosecutable charges? Yeah, they can definitely do that.

Trey Gowdy: "I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump."

Paul Ryan: "I think Chairman Gowdy's initial assessment's accurate, I think, but we have some more digging to do. We're waiting for some more document requests."

So they did exactly the right thing per GOP leaders.

Hannity....that's this guy right:

Hannity: This information being reported is absolutely false, my sources say this never happened!!! FAKE NEWS.

20 minutes....

Hannity: So, CNN was right. But who cares, here is a video of a car crash. Have a good night.

Yeah, I think it is indeed telling many Americans watch a show like that for their news. I think it says something else than what you think it shows.

So now we got some leaks coming out about the inspector General's report. Interesting, because it looks like McCabe, Comey, and Lynch are in a heap deep pile of kimchi.

And now GOP Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr has this to say: "I think that Trey Gowdy's description of the process was correct." So there was no evil spying campaign - just the FBI doing their job, and doing it well. Four prominent GOPers have just confirmed it.

Looks like the whole "it's the Democrats spying on me! BIGGER THAN WATERGATE!" thing is dead in the water. There will be a lot of Trumpies crying in their beer tonight.

In my opinion, you reference nothing. You just threw out bulshit statistics that you thought everybody would suck down!
