This is what I'm saying. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

Donny Jr. himself admitted to meeting a Kremlin connected lawyer to get dirt on Hillary before the election. How much more "proof" do you need?

A patriotic American would have called the state department or FBI, not run out to meet with the Russians.

For starters he placed sanctions onto Russia.

And kicked the Russians out of America immediately.

You know what else happened immediately when Trump took office? He wanted to re-open that same Russian compound, much to the chagrin of everybody at his side. (That article was posted here btw, ignored by the "conservatives.")

I think that story is going to get big. And a bit of a turning point in all this. House & Senate seem to all be sorta jumping ship from the Trumps..

Notice though, as I said, how they both totally ignore that story and go to their usual shticks.

NYT and WaPo ran an article today about Donald Jr. colluding with a Russian lawyer to get dirt on Hillary before the election. He now claims she didn't offer anything worthwhile.

Pretty big story.

We've actually  had quite a few big stories over the last couple of months. If you notice what the righties here do is create a wall of noise. They want to drown it all out. Huge walls of texts, non sequitur after another, bullshit talking points, talk about Obama...Hillary...anything and everything to shut down the Trump talk. Don't let these nutjobs divert attention away from what is happening right now.

Is the Russian investigation pretty much over now in regards to Trump?

It's barely started.

We need some bandaids on Obama care no matter how fucking shitty the concept is. But I know many want to just watch it implode so we can start fresh. I just worry some folks may fall through the cracks in that situation.

It's only "imploding" because Republicans (led by Rubio) stiffed the insurers and broke the promises made inside the law. The same thing was done for Medicare part D when W was president and they expanded Medicaid/Medicare (socialism-gasp!) but they were fine with it back then.

As anybody watching can attest to: the GOP stand for nothing. As long as Obama was in favor of it, they were now against it.

What they did to the ACA hurt consumers, hurt business and potentially killed people. Of course then they blamed it on Obama and claim it's "imploding." Insurers raise prices or get out of the exchanges. That's what happens when they aren't paid, and that's why they are suing the government for non payment.

No law is perfect. Laws have been tweaked over the years. But the difference is there were not Mitch McConnells back then. There wasn't the "freedom caucus" or Fox News.

What?  It's not cool for a self professed Democrat and White Male to use the "N" word?  Color me shocked.  But based off the DNC hacks and the last 200 years of the Democratic party, I assure you Mitch isn't the first white Democrat to use that comment behind closed doors or behind the anonymity of the internet.

Can't say I've used that word lately. Remind me not to play you in scrabble.
