That whole argument is about context not wording and it's been obnoxiously politicized mostly because Trump can't pass up any opportunity to kiss his own ass. The whole thing should be embarrassing for everyone involved except the soldier who sadly died.

I agree. When he said that past presidents didn't call military families was disgusting. What the fuck is wrong with him?

Turns out that the phony dossier that came out about Trump colluding with Russia and had Russian hookers peeing on his bed, was founded and paid for by Clinton and the DNC.

lol. R.I.P. Russia Narrative

Nevermind. Most liberals will probably still try to cling to it.

Not at all. The point is the first money towards what Steele put tigetger was by GOP donors during the primary through one company. Democrats did also pay later for access to more materials. The money in US politics is staggering. Democrats did pay towards a firm using the Steele dossier. But they weren’t the first and didn’t pay to make it.

Technicalities.

So who's going to be the first domino on Monday? Manafort has made the most sense for a while but there is some speculation it might be boy wonder Kushner.

Manafort. You don’t get your house raised and then not be involved in the subpoena process.

The whole funding of the dossier really just confirms what we already know, that the Republican establishment and the Democrat establishment are basically the same thing.

Look how they bond together when it comes to insurance company subsidies. Trump wants to end direct payments to insurers, and they all act outraged. Those payments are the exact opposite of everything both sides claim to stand for, yet Democrats established it and GOP establishment want to preserve it.

It definitely establishes how Washington has done business up to now with digging up dirt on candidates, finding ways to exploit that dirt for political gain, and not caring about the outcome in many ways, for sure.

For the healthcare issue, I think there's a fundamental understanding that ending all payments to insurers will negatively impact a lot of normal people, so it can't just be done in a fell swoop of removal and soaring premiums. That's where they diverge again.

Where is the evidence that dumping government money onto insurance companies was having the desired impact? Years of rates way outpacing inflation while these subsidies were happening...

Well there’s the pre-and-post data I guess.

Good call!

Who's next? My guess is Flynn. Take care of the two foreign agents.

Which demonstrates that money did not have the desired effect.

When I hear Elizabeth Warren say Hillary rigged the election I just gotta laugh because what the Clintons did was buy the primary. So when you hear the we gotta get the "Fat Cats" argument her and Bernie supported the "Fat Cats" who bought their party :lol:
