Do you or u_crank have any sources/evidence? Kinda interested to read/see it.

So Trump have, according to some source, been working with or for Russia before he became President. Heard this on the news earlier today.

As an non-American I couldn't care less.

If it's true, it's up the American Federal-stuff to deal with this and eventually prosecute Mr. Trump.

If it's not, then those who have come forward with those accusation should give an public excuse to Mr. Trump.

That's my opinion.

You can't not trust the news one day and then up and decide to trust the news the next day

Here are three articles about the latest stuff to come out. Supposed bombshell reports in the New York Times and the Washington Post. These three writers look at those articles which are about the FBI launching their probe on Trump. Yes two of them are from Fox News but Mark Penn was chief strategist on Bill Clinton’s 1996 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign, and Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.

You mean the ones that she tried to destroy? The ones that she knew were under congressional subpoena before she destroyed them?

March 5, 2015 -- It is revealed that Clinton isn't publicly registered as the owner of the domain and server used to operate her personal email. This makes it more difficult to trace the account back to her. Accounts were registered in her aides' names, and she used a proxy company to shield her involvement.

No, I am not a socialist but maybe some folks will realize before the end of the universum that this is a major root cause of the current problems in the West.

The lowliest American peon if he/she/it/whatever is at least willing to work at something they can live better lives than kings of old as long as they don't make stupid decisions.



Take my sister for example. She was looking at mobile home listings recently. I pointed out that if she bought in a 55+ park where you own the share of the land you're parked on you only owe an HOA fee each month which is around $120 and covers most everything except electricity. Instead she was more interested in the mobile homes in the 55+ parks where you pay rent of $600 a month and don't own the land you're parked on. This is the same woman who can go to Kohl's and make $25 into $75 in purchases with coupons so I don't see why she doesn't get "it" on the bigger numbers. People are stupid, that's the real problem.

Does this mean that I have participated in the Trump-Russia collusion scheme?

yes, that is enough proof of "collusion" as far as the Trump-haters are concerned.

Can I now brag about how I have elected POTUS and by extension own America?

Absolutely right, but stupidity is very common among (even educated) people.

And so MDR is being (finally) released.

Would be interesting to how it goes
Because it appears that the US missile defense is a key component for the US dammage limitation strategy.

Pelosi: "Mr President don't make your State of the Union address because the government is shut down."


Trump: "Madam Speaker, you can't use USAF aircraft for your taxpayer boondoggle trip to Brussels because the government is shut down."
