rolling explaining conservatism

it shouldn't matter where the hillary emails came from, even if stolen by Russian hackers; the important thing was the information about hillary's tactics

however

we should ignore the steele dossier and anything the fbi discovered while looking into these leads because hillary paid for, well, not the dossier itself, but for continued oppo research by fusion

these updates are some of the lamest shit on an ilx wallowing in it

whoa! six guns blazing!!

1) GOP goes on fishing expedition with GPS Fusion and fails hard
2) GOP pretends Fusion has something shady going on
3) Fusion: release transcripts, we have nothing to hid.
4) GOP: we can't release transcripts because of reasons and such as
5) Feinstein: fuck it, here it is
6) Transcript shows how panicked and desperate the GOP is in trying to deflect from Trump's crimes

just post on the US politics thread man

nah

Trump got the big stuff right while his perma-critics were left to complain about his low approval ratings, his "risky" style, his strongman vibe, his Twitter habits, and maybe some kind of sketchy Russia connection -- that sort of thing.

Keep an eye out for the new-CEO move at your workplace, and sometimes in government. When you see it executed right, optimism is warranted. Even if the critics miss the show.

"The days behind us determine the days ahead."
"What does that even mean?"
"I have no idea. But it was said with certainty and conviction."

My views are the least racist of anyone because they are based a clear appreciation of the facts. How can telling the bald truth be racism?

Uh, what’s this thread about now?

av club really taking a new approach to the holiday

Pence is one of the most experienced and capable politicians our country has ever produced, but he still disappears in Trump's charisma field.

1. Presidential Prayer in the Oval Office
2. Moving US Embassy to Jerusalem
3. Appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the US Supreme Court
4. President Trump Points Nation to Jesus at Christmas
5. Vice President Pence: A Pro-Life Evangelical in the White House
6. Trump Targets the Johnson Amendment
7. A Pro-Life President, Part 1: Mexico City Policy & the Hyde Amendment
8. A Pro-Life President, Part 2: Undoing Obama's Planned Parenthood Regulation
9. White House Cabinet Bible Study
10. Trump Admin Confronts Anti-Israel Bias at the UN
11. Bypassing the UN to Get Aid Directly to Christian Refugees
12. President Trump's Journey to Jesus

In an interview with CBN News in November, Vice President Pence spoke about his and President Trump's Christian faith.

"The president and I are believers," Pence told CBN News.

"I've been with this president in the Oval Office with religious leaders when people have asked to pause for a moment of prayer, and the president readily embraces that. I think he's always very humbled and grateful by the support of believers," Pence said.

And evangelicals from Trump's team of advisers say they've seen the change in his life.

"I can tell you Donald Trump is not the same man that you are hearing about from his past. He has had a radical change in his heart. He has had a heart change toward the things of God and the people of God, and he is surrounding himself with prayer warriors," says Mary Colbert, an evangelical leader who has attended meetings with the president.

President Trump even confirmed his Christian faith once again during his Christmas announcement when he referred to "OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

This is pretty tendentious and cherrypicked but still fun.

yea that kind of bites both ways though, cuz I think NFL players should be allowed to take a knee but also believe James Damore absolutely should have been fired

"cinderella" is a fairy tale, man. atlas shrugged is THE TRUTH

“It’s kind of for some it’s hard to believe,” Hannity said. “Now that the evidence has been mounting and mounting and one smoking gun after another.”

“It has to be put in the context of the history of our great nation,” Gorka replied. “Remember, why was America created? It was created because of the usurpation of power, the capricious usurpation by a leader thousands of miles away.”

“That’s why America was created,” he continued. “It was about tea tax, and stationing troops on private property without permission. This is 100 times bigger. This is our government spying on political adversaries. This is federal law enforcement officials obstructing justice. You listed all of the things Clinton and her team did. But let’s not forget that the FBI destroyed the laptops that were part of the Clinton investigation. Who gave that order?”

what sanctions? since trump signed the reduction of the corporate income tax to 21%, plus an overall reduction in the highest bracket and the death tax, i salute congressional republicans for undermining investigation into candidate trump's "treasonous" (oh you self-righteous justice-obsessed liberals! where's the justice for fetuses? where's the justice for job creators shackled by taxation? where's the justice for the next generation of job creators whose parents are taxed at death?) "quid-pro-quo" with russia :)

Nunes and his colleagues [. . .] have long been sincerely alarmed at what they’ve learned about how the FBI operated in 2016.

bingo! benghazi! the FISA decision to extend surveillance on carter page (busted for conspiring with russian spies the obama justice department convicted) is crooked hillary and the kenyan's fault!! blue lives matter!!!

“Now that a few of the misdeeds against the Trump Movement have been partially revealed, I look forward to updating my pending legal action in opposition to DOJ this weekend,” Carter Page said in an emailed statement.

The Committee has discovered serious violations of the public trust, and the American people have a right to know when officials in crucial institutions are abusing their authority for political purposes. Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies exist to defend the American people, not to be exploited to target one group on behalf of another. It is my hope that the Committee’s actions will shine a light on this alarming series of events so we can make reforms that allow the American people to have full faith and confidence in their governing institutions.

“I am telling you, we’re looking at the FBI, we’re looking at the Department of Justice, we are not looking at all at the White House. Hillary Clinton paid for a warrant — that’s the easiest way we can put it. Hillary Clinton colluded with the Russians. But it appears the FBI at the senior-most levels colluded with the Russians, too. Whether it was witting or unwitting, it doesn’t matter. That’s a fact.

“It has everything to do with Mueller because it transitions from the counterintelligence investigation into a criminal investigation after Comey, of all things, confesses of all things to being a leaker. And Mueller — Mueller is the former FBI director. Those are his people. That is his environment. He’s not out there as some independent force.”

Basically, if Mueller had in his former life been the CEO of a company that made house paint, conservatives would be fervidly unknotting the nefarious conspiracies which underlie the house paint industry and the Dems who use their products.

"A footnote saying something may be political is a far cry from letting the American people know that the Democrats and the Hillary campaign paid for dirt that the FBI then used to get a warrant on an American citizen to spy on another campaign."

"Why are muslims not being indicted for killing thousands in our country? "

"Communicated "with unwitting agents of the Trump campaign"... that's a crime? "

"So posting negative information about candidates on the web is now a crime? "

"Maybe this is Mueller's exit ramp.
Russians did some stuff. But the Trump people did not know who they were or what they were up to."

"Talk about launching a "Hail Mary"! Folks, Mueller has nothing. This is a joke! "

" There's no collusion. This is a face-saving measure.
But there is no measure to save face. "

"Maybe they should go after some of Mexico's representatives like Vicente Fox. "

"Know this. It is not a crime to have supported Trump over Hillary even if you are Russian. That is not a crime!! This is a fraudulent indictment and will dismissed easily. There is no There There. "

"Mueller is throwing out everything he has left before:
1. Flynn guilty plea is rescinded and case dropped
2. IG report is released which includes some of the trumped up Russian investigation as well as the Hillary email scandal
3. Russian narrative is collapsed when evidence is reveal publicly to the contrary of what they are supposedly investigating"

"This could be an attempt to put this to an end while still getting "something". "

" This indictment actually sounds like great news for President Trump, the wording goes out of the way to exonerate him and the campaign:
The indictment says that some defendants "communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign"
That means - case closed. No collusion. By definition, it take two knowing parties to collude, and the prosecutor wouldn't have gone out of his way to say "unwitting" in a formal indictment if he thought there was any way he could later go after them."

"Soon they will indict anyone who says anything positive about President Trump "

"I'm wondering when Mueller is going to indict Mexican nationals and Mexican entities for interfering in our elections? Or Saudi, etc? "

"How many illegal South Americans aliens who supported Hillary with funds and rallies are going to be indicted? "

"I think this actually exonerates the Trump campaign. "

"The indictments are for the Russians that were arrested in Asia running the ID and money laundering operations. Q advised us of this take down. "

"Russians rightly despise both the Clintons and Obamas because they are Muslim sycophants. Actually, Obama is very clearly a closet Muslim. Outside of the Islamic pigs, nobody likes Muslims."

I still think ppl with b.o. + stinking of urine need to get their act together a bit!

i'm trying dammit

(xp) Just had a guy stinking of urine get on the bus I was travelling on, coincidentally.

In hot, populous southern hemisphere countries ppl are more chill about b.o. but yet right wing despots are in no short supply.

I got as far as the post-workout Boris photo and my strong authoritarian instincts made me stop reading

Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!

Tom D, if you look above, I've shared a number of papers on conservatism and the "behavioral immune system."

"Look, Obama attacked Russia with his sanctions. President Obama and his Low-Information Voters™ started what's called economic warfare, which is one of the classic reasons for going to war. So what does Putin do? Like any powerful person Putin tries to influence public opinion about them in the US, which is exactly what Democrats have been wanting us to do in other countries for decades. So now the Barack Obama's, Hillary Clinton's, and Nancy Pelosi's of the world are shocked, to find out that Putin is playing by the same play book that liberals have been using for decades -- so they do the only thing they can: scream and shout that because a candidate that doesn't buy into their particular brand of mental illness won, then they must have obviously won with the help of Russia. Putin could have started a shooting war because of the liberals, but instead bought some Facebook ads saying they weren't bad guys, and now those liberals are telling us that the vast majority of the country was duped by the Russians. Well folks, I am not buying it, and if anyone tries to tell you about the Russia Investigation, then just tell 'em, in the words of Obama's Reverend Jeremiah Wright, that the Democrats' chickens have come home to roost."

we trust russia more than the british because tax cuts. MAGA! 2nd amendment solutions. benghazi!

I called President Putin of Russia to congratulate him on his election victory (in past, Obama called him also). The Fake News Media is crazed because they wanted me to excoriate him. They are wrong! Getting along with Russia (and others) is a good thing, not a bad thing. They can help solve problems with North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, ISIS, Iran and even the coming Arms Race. Bush tried to get along, but didn’t have the “smarts.” Obama and Clinton tried, but didn’t have the energy or chemistry (remember RESET). PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!

He approaches problems like a cutthroat businessman -- you find quick and pragmatic ways to get out of problems and then ask for forgiveness later. The problems he's chosen to tackle are things Americans have bemoaned for decades now; they didn't come out of thin air (regardless of whether his solutions are the right ones or the moral ones). That he's accomplishing some of these things with the help of Russia and how they interfered in the election is the 800lb Gorilla; maybe he views Russia the way a lot of American politicians view Israel? At least he's moving us forward. MAGA!

disloyal! disloyal! all you poor people are disloyal! freedom! professionalism! success! low energy! family values! tax cuts! tax cuts!!
