One investigation leads to another ad nauseum....

...Really? I cannot tell if you wrote that with a straight face :roll:



Come now, Sampson, old darling. If you are going to come here and say that "Republicans are corrupt," I might agree with you. But if you are going to come in and say without a shred of irony or self-awareness that "Republicans are corrupt, unlike the righteous and wonderful Democrats" while sighing, clasping your hands and fluttering your eyelashes in daydreams of Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, well I'm simply going to be forced to burst your bubble. :mrgreen:

I can assure you that he wrote it with a straight face. He lives his life with blinders on and he actually believes everything he says.

I'm a little more worried about Guccifer 2.0 breaking into a server and providing Wiki-Leaks to the opponents, who eagerly publish them without regard to the Law..

"Who covers what" in the media? Not so much...

I always find it hilarious that the left thinks it was OK for Hillary and the DNC to lie, cheat steal, and fix elections, etc but the crime is a foreign power exposing their criminality. Maybe Hillary and the DNC should have been squeaky clean in the first place and then there would have been nothing worthwhile to hack. We should actually be thanking the Russians.

LOL. That's your fantasy life. Even Mueller and Rosenstein said that no one, including Trump, purposely colluded with Russians to influence the election

although they may have been unwitting pawns.

That's what your hero investigators say.

All that tells you is that charges have not been pressed, yet.

You don't do a bunch of meetings, try to set up backchannel communications that avoid government scrutiny, and then dozens of lies about those contacts, if you were just an unwitting pawn. That doesn't strain credulity, that's a 50 cal heavy at point blank.

When, and only when, Trump is thrown out of office; then I might regard him as a hero. Although that would be an odd way to put it.

Seems like for the last 35+ years or so, someone in DC has been under the microscope

I think it started with the Iran Contra crap and just never stopped

First one side, and then the other just opens investigation after investigation

Maybe it even started before then...and i only started paying attention at that point

Doesnt matter if it is a democrat or a republican....someone is in the hot seat for something

Is this what we have become?

No one even cares to work with the other side....lets get as much dirt as we can find, and throw it against the wall, and see what sticks...forget legislation...forget the people that sent you to DC...forget your MAIN task

Not saying some of the investigations werent warranted....but it seems like THAT is all we are doing....we arent solving any issues....the people we are sending to DC arent fixing the problems we have....

Maybe just maybe we need to remind them that their role is to GOVERN and to legislate...how i long for the days of Tip O'Neill and handshakes across the aisles

Well, when they DO legislate, they seem to make things worse:

So maybe the finger pointing and dirt throwing is better? It's to distract us from the damage they are doing?

I dunno, but maybe it's time to send them all home - cut their pay and benefits.

When the truth got out, Republicans threw Gingrich under the bus.

If they'd been smart, they would have done that much earlier.

I'm concerned when the private e-mail servers are broken into. As for bias in the media, I would say for every MSNBC there is a Fox News, so "fair and balanced."

But the major players are not fair and balanced, such as ABC, NBC, and CBS. They all lean left. And, we should be thanking Russia for exposing the crookedness of Hillary and the DNC. After all, they had something useful to be hacked.

They have specifically said that no one, including Trump, knowingly colluded with the Russians to influence the election.

What does that have to do with my post? It was said that Democrats don't let their own go when, in fact they do and have many times.

They said that at that time.

If you think that's going to save anyone, I'll enjoy the laugh.

Hillary and the DNC are corrupt, within the current norms of politics. I'd like to see that change, but that's a conversation for the next time a Progressive runs for the presidency.

Trump is thousands of times worse.

That was a politically motivated attack on a legitimately elected president. It's not like this is a secret, Gingrich wanted to run the country the way Reed did a century earlier.

Newt had a nickname he got from his fellow Republicans: "Bombthrower". His modus operandi was killing careers.

When people learned that this was nothing more than a political attack to benefit Newt, Republicans threw Newt out the door, and crawled under rocks to hide. Clinton got to keep his job because people found out Newt was a lot worse.

Which kool aid jug are you drinking from? This has absolutely nothing to do with what we were talking about.

So, even you admit that progressives are corrupt as well. Your claim is that they are not as corrupt as the others but that is just your opinion. You're hero Bernie had plenty of faults.

Ummmmmmmmmm. You are the one who is currently fantasizing, hoping for what Mueller's investigation brings. So far the facts are that Trump has done nothing.

Oh wow. It was Bill Clinton who had a chance to take out Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan and didn't take it.

I'd explain to you the difference between Bush not only ignoring the clear and repeated warnings of 9-11 but also pushing back against the intel and Clinton having to decide whether to take out an entire village but it would be as pointless as asking you to read past the headline. The simple fact is Clinton was trying to do something and Bush was trying not to do something. But MR, even you have to admit you have not addressed the fact that 9-11 wouldn't have happened if Gore was president because he didn't have a secret day 1 agenda to invade Iraq.

see if you can respond in an honest and intelligent fashion this time.

Iran Contra crap?

What do you need to do to deserve an investigation?
