I read that and wondered if I would put it in this thread or the outside-links thread, but either way: DAMN, ain't that some shit? Son sounds like he was a troubled soul to begin with, but the "If you're going to treat me like a _____, I might as well act like one" argument hasn't worked for me since I was 12. We'll see how it holds up as a defense in court.

The FBI finding the dossier credible enough to investigate is far more relevant than who funded it.
In a world where the government is increasingly offloading tasks they are not allowed to perform to third-party private entities, your statement is not only true, but can be considered de rigueur.

I want to see his reaction once the inevitable comes to fruition? Will he simply pretend like it never happened? Will he say he was secretly against him the whole time? Or will he go down the rabbit hole and proclaim this a coup against "Murica and that he, a rich educated metropolitan born is a champion of the common man. ::)

Definitely feels like they have been laying the groundwork to justify it to the base for some time now. Like Benghazi or anything else the right-wing pushes, just hammering it home consistently over time and catastrophizing about it and eventually it becomes the dominating narrative in such circles.

Going back to trying to discredit him by the ridiculous claim that having Democrats on his team indicated a partisan witch hunt.  Even though him explicitly hiring Democrats or Republicans(or asking about party affiliation at all) is strictly forbidden and would actually constitute a fireable breach. Which if they actually had evidence of they would be pushing it 24/7.

It's amazing how these guys can character assassinate a Vietnam war vet and a former FBI director so easily based on some filmsy reporting.

I think Manafort is fucked. They'll go after Flynn next. I hope they're looking into Don jr's emails too, I thought that was blatant collusion.

Is the replacement mandatory ? Can't Justice decide to drop altogether the special appointed status he's holding ? I know the legislative branch has made noise to the effect they would appoint someone if Mueller was dismissed so as to keep the investigation moving but I don't know how certain it is they would keep their word.
I'm sure things will continue to go forward one way or another (even via leaks to the press if necessary) considering how serious the allegations are. I could see Trump trying to delay it as much as possible.

This won't go anywhere. A few cronies like Manafort will take a hit and that's the end of it.

Now that Mueller himself, GOP, DNC and Trumpkins are implicated they probably want to take this to its inevitable conclusion.
- Manafort gets fucked for messing around with Yanukovich and Putin in Ukraine.
- Some bills will be pushed to better regulate political advertising on social media
- Flynn gets in trouble for being a lackey of Turkey
- FBI/CIA will start to chip away at Russia Today/Sputnik in the US

Trump is going to get away with whatever it is he did and looking at what we know he probably wasn't very involved in all this and fuck all happened.
The narrative collapsed when Kushner was still trying to set-up backchannels with the Kremlin after Trump was elected and the Russians didn't seem very excited to talk.
Donald also did fuck all to help the Russians in any meaningful way. Hell, the most likely Russian agent (Manafort) couldn't control him and would've lost the election.
It was Trump's call to bring in his 'friends' Bannon and Kellyanne.

Finally, if you have a plan to take-over America with a puppet emperor, Donald 'fucking' Trump would not be the linchpin of this plan. You'd go with robot Rubio or someone else who's less unpredictable.  :doge

I honestly find it hard to believe that at some point FSB/GRU operatives said: "You know what Comrade? We're going to hand Donald Trump the biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons on the planet."

Who the fuck is Peter Daou and why the FUCK do you keep posting his insane tweets?


Peter Daou is part of Shareblue, DNC's propaganda arm that has flooded reddit and social media with DNC bullshit for more than a year now.

Jimmy Dore on the other hand is the kind of personality that liberals fucking hate with passion because not only he supports Bernie and the actual left but refuses to adopt the liberal distractions about THE RUSSIANS. He realizes like most of us do that Trump is a symptom not a cause and focuses on more important matters, like, you know, getting rid of all the neoliberal scum from the political system, both republican and democrat.

And btw I will wholeheartedly agree with this youtube comment on Dore's video:

Quote
Getting dirt on a political opponent isn't the story. The story is that Clinton DID sell political influence/votes to the Russians in exchange for cash to The Clinton Foundation & directly to Bill Clinton. THEN the Clinton campaign and the DNC spun a fantasy saying that TRUMP sold political influence to the Russians in exchange for them fixing the election for Trump.

And that's what we've been hearing for a YEAR. A LIE*, a *fantasy created by Clinton & the DNC accusing Trump of doing what they actually did.

Now, Trump may very well have crooked financial deals with Russian oligarchs- but that is WHOLLY different than Trump traded influence for election tampering. That's a BIG freaking deal.

ETA: You know- it's even worse than I stated above because people like Donna Brazile and Hillary Clinton actually called for WAR with Russia based on this lie. Now either they were ACTUALLY willing to start a war based on the LIE they created or they were willing to threaten war to seem tough on Russia just in case their illegal/unethical/unAmerican deeds were discovered. Either way, they risked lives for their corruption. Unacceptable. Criminal.

Arrests are coming for Manafort and other political leeches that had dealing with both corrupt parties. Watch the damn video, Dore isn't an idiot he uses sources for the shit he says. The DNC distinguished mentally-challenged fellows used fucking Putin people to write that Dossier and now pretend to be fucking innocent. Stop being  spoonfed DNC propaganda from corporate media, this is way more complicated than they want you to think.

If there's one conclusion from all this is that Putin was playing both sides for a while now, not only he uses their corruption to promote Russian interests (uranium deal for example) but he also wants to completely delegitimize the American government worldwide by ridiculing and humiliating both parties.

Yes, I think corporate media are all peddling propaganda to promote the interests of their owners. And the election of Trump or Brexit were both not part of their plan, that's why they're throwing tantrums now. CNN, NYT, and WaPo don't care if these allegations are true as long as the narrative is right, since you refuse to watch the video here's the part where a journalist who tried to actually investigate the Dossier talked on the matter and the conclusions he reached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waGnHlRIsWM&t=310s

The threat of Russia is very real
The threat of Russia doing what? To who?

They've just barely been able to avoid stalemates against places they should theoretically steamroll and where what they've "won" has always been highly populated with ethnic Russians or allies who hadn't fully integrated since the Soviet Union collapsed. South Ossetia in many ways can be considered a "loss" because it had already been semi-autonomous for 15 years when Russia began prepping it as the excuse for war with Georgia. A war that went so well that despite launching the largest military operation in post-Soviet Russian history, lasted all of five days (four and a half of which were after Georgia surrendered) before they outran supply lines and agreed to withdraw. Rather than tolerating the two, Georgia declared it and Abkhazia to be Russian occupied and sanctioned and cut them off. While EU forces moved in and they and the U.S. and much of the West imposed sanctions for it and increased aid to Georgia, including Trump recently. It's arguably a worse off situation for Russia than prior to the war.  Especially since both regions have had political upheavals that have tossed out the Russian friendly leaders as both now seem more interested in an independent path.

That was one reason Putin had the Crimea hold its vote so quickly. Even if likely highly fraudulent just holding it helped prevent any interim period where the "independent" nation starts to go, you know, maybe we don't want to become part of another country after escaping the last one which wasn't totally ignorant of our interests. The other two keep pushing off referenda just to rename the places because there's increasingly less support for joining Russia.

The Russian population in general despises Estonia yet Putin's essentially agreed to give them back 70 year old disputed territory in the long run and their big "win" was capturing a spy who probably was in Russian territory and exchanging him for one. He barely even used the Bronze Soldier controversy to leverage against it. Yeltsin wouldn't even talk to them and saw it as one of the better places to use for poll-bumping chest-thumping.

We, more than Russia, and even China, will continue to be our own worst enemy for some time.

You forgot to disclose your belief that "Containment Policy" against the Soviets and what it was used to justify was also this more than anything. :ufup

Or maybe Donald Trump really is a traitor and this isn't a conspiracy.  :doge

You do realize the left has crazies too right?


Or maybe the r/politics crowd like you are being spoonfed by corporate media bullshit you want to hear for months and as the narrative collapses you hang on to that crap with everything you have. The actual left has been warning for months now that the DNC is using Trump to hide its own corruption and incompetence. In fact Trump is the best thing that happened to them, if it was a Republican president that wasn't a complete fucking idiot they'd have a serious problem hiding how disgusting they are and convincing the gullible to waste their time with pointless political drama.

And btw it's ironic how conditioned you people are that you're accusing us of peddling conspiracies when you are the ones trying to sell to American public a -by definition- conspiracy theory for months. They have convinced you that any info outside systemic media is "conspiracy".
