Alas and alack, we missed our opportunity to have a pillar of virtue in the oval office, rather than a blathering buffoon in the pocket of the Kremlin.

Of course. Obama sold out the nation to the Russians to help the Clintons get rich. James Comey and Robert Mueller both conspired to cover it up. Got it. Where is RoyReader when we need him?

Think Hanlon's Razor, a variation of which is "do not attribute to conspiracy that which is easily explained by incompetence."

Breitbart and the Russians should be going into a real frenzy soon.
"George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund manager and a major Democratic donor, has given $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations,...

Founded by Mr. Soros more than 30 years ago, Open Society promotes democracy and human rights in more than 120 countries. In recent years, the organization has increased its attention on the United States, investing in programs to protect gays and lesbians and reduce abuses by the police.

Everything that the Russians, trump, Breitbart, et al, hate. Imagine giving money to promote democracy instead of buying private 757 jets and golf courses.

That's entirely what Open Society does - and what Soros has been doing for years. The work they've done is pretty significant, and start with Soros' work to help the transition to free markets in post-communist Europe.

You can actually read about what he does on the Foundation's site - a lot of really good work.

Contrast that with other plutocrats whose money funds fake news, repressive governments, and legislative efforts that screw the average citizen just to give the rich more.

Soros is no different than any money gruber you chose to hate today.

Consider the following,

Quote

George Soros is chairman of Soros Fund Management, a hedge fund company. Soros is number 27 on Forbes list with a net worth of $23 billion. He’s made his fortune in large part by selling short against international currencies and collapsing financial institutions. In 1997, he was dubbed “the man who broke the Bank of England”; and he was blamed by the Malaysian Prime Minister for collapsing their currency during the Asian financial crisis. He was also convicted of illegal financial dealings in France. His big bet now is collapsing the U.S. dollar and the free enterprise system.

which I suspect many of you here support.
That said, he is not supporting your so called democracy.
He is supporting his own bank account.

The dirty tricks that demonise George Soros
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/15/dirty-tricks-demonise-george-soros

Billionaire philanthropist George Soros has pledged $10 million to combat hate crimes in the wake of Donald Trump’s election as President, the largest donation of its kind since a spike in attacks following the Nov. 8 poll.

Yes. Soros had no direct supporting role in that. The best anyone could find is a comically tenuous link between an organization he's supported and Adbusters, which happened long before OWS was a thing.

Well, no. He is. Like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and a number of other successful businessmen, he's using the fortune he has amassed to advance productive and good causes beneficial to humanity.

Consider the following,

So we're clear, you're bothered by a self-made man who went into business, and harnessed the free market to make a fortune. And you're trying to suggest that that's some how wrong? That's pretty much the archetype of conservatism, in a lot of ways - he's just using the wealth to make the world better.

Which is is then directing into building better societies. Yep, still good with that.

I'm about 24 hours ahead of you on this one. To summarize, an unknown GOP representative, the DNC and the HRC campaign all paid money for research into Trump. The dossier was one of the results. There is WAY more to the investigation but Fox's headlines are obviously grabbing their target market.

A) The Steele dossier is only one of many sources of information on Russian collusion by members of Trump's campaign and cabinet.

B) That story does not mention the accuracy of any part of the Steele dossier.

Another link between the Trump campaign and Russian hacking. TL;DR summary - a company Trump hired facilitated spreading the information from Russia's attacks on US servers.

====================
The head of a data analytics company linked to the Trump campaign contacted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2016 regarding thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails kept on a private server while she was secretary of state, according to four sources familiar with the outreach.

Alexander Nix, the chief executive of Cambridge Analytica, sent an email to several people including top Donald Trump donor Rebekah Mercer, relaying that he had emailed Assange seeking access to emails from Clinton's private server to turn them into a searchable database for the campaign or a pro-Trump political action committee, two of the sources said.

Cambridge Analytica was hired in the summer of 2016 as part of the Trump campaign's three-pronged data operation, which was led by Brad Parscale and overseen by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. No one from the Trump campaign was copied on the email, the sources said. Nix sent the email in summer 2016, two sources said, but it is not clear whether he sent it before or after Cambridge Analytica was brought onto the campaign. . . .

US intelligence has said the Podesta emails were stolen by Russia and handed over to WikiLeaks through an intermediary.

DNC and Hillary campaign paid for people to find a scandal. That's completely different to 'they made it up'...


Honestly, I think stuff like this should be illegal, but it isn't so I'm sure goes on in every camp. Do you really think Trump's campaign wasn't doing the same?
But then I also think that nominees should all run on the same (limited) amount of cash as well, so I have some strange ideas.

This so-called Russia collusion story is getting real interesting Bill.

Sorry! I guess so called is not the right way to say it. There is Russian collusion. I don't think it's going the way you thought it was going to though huh?

>This so-called Russia collusion story is getting real interesting Bill.

This is about the fourth attempt you've made to distract from the ongoing criminal investigation into the Trump campaign's collusion with Russia. The first three failed. You think this one is going to be any different, just because you REALLY REALLY want it to be? I don't. I think you will fail, again.
