Michael Flynn is curious.Serious question. If you look at all of that objectively, is there anything other than conjecture that points to collusion to influence the election or something more nefarious or could it simply be that Trump's team was doing what any serious contender for the POTUS would do: start establishing communications with other world leaders so that you're ready to go after the election?
Hillary's team had some of the same connections. That in itself doesn't inherently point to something improper. Leaked intel regarding Mike Flynn's comms, on the other hand is not being disputed. His comms were caught by surveillance. His name was unmasked. The comms were widely disseminated. The comms were leaked. At bare minimum, you have incidental collection, questionable unmasking, and illegal leaking. That's teh definition of "where there is smoke, there is fire". With the Trump-Russia allegations, they're claiming his joke about Putin having her emails is the "smoke" in addition to every expected communication or meeting being part of it.
To date, there has been nothing released that actually draws a line between the elections and anything Russia did illegally and nothing connecting to Trump. The only plausible base for even claiming that Russia interfered is the DNC email hacking, where none of the "evidence" has been released for public review.
Yesterday I heard unconfirmed reports that Sean Hannity was unmasked. If that is proven true, it gets really hard to believe that it wasn't political and targeted.Michael Flynn is curious.
wouldn't we have to know how often unmasking happens for that to be relevant?Yesterday I heard unconfirmed reports that Sean Hannity was unmasked. If that is proven true, it gets really hard to believe that it wasn't political and targeted.
Per the law, it's supposed to be rare and with a specific reason.wouldn't we have to know how often unmasking happens for that to be relevant?
that doesn't really tell me anything. sounds like the kind of thing you'd excuse if it was favorable to your political affiliation.Per the law, it's supposed to be rare and with a specific reason.
Not me personally. I object to infringements on constitutional rights from either side. I objected to the Patriot Act and that was a Bush thing.that doesn't really tell me anything. sounds like the kind of thing you'd excuse if it was favorable to your political affiliation.
How about giving the man a chance. He just got elected. Let's see what happens the first year and if we think he sucks I will hate on him right with ya.I think trump's rhetoric is why I can't stand him..."The world is a mess, I inherited a mess, and we're going to fix it"
the world has/is/always will be a mess, as long as there are human beings. this kind of nonsense and the subtle lack of taking responsibility is why despite him being an R and being friendly to some things i care about, he is not a leader I can ever follow.
Like i said previously, he may with the R's do some things I like, but he is not going to magically stop being an epic ****ing douche.How about giving the man a chance. He just got elected. Let's see what happens the first year and if we think he sucks I will hate on him right with ya.
The POTUS is NOT our leader and you should never follow them.I think trump's rhetoric is why I can't stand him..."The world is a mess, I inherited a mess, and we're going to fix it"

Agree 100%.I can't stand the mentality that anyone that gets elected president "inherited" anything. Obama did it incessantly, always blaming the mess he "inherited". You didn't inherit anything. You spent a billion dollars trying to get it. Take it and deal with it.
You wouldn't believe who I think is an epic douche. I have a whole list. Fact remains they are the ones we are watching.Like i said previously, he may with the R's do some things I like, but he is not going to magically stop being an epic ****ing douche.
I probably wouldn't be suprised, you tend to base who you are around your political ideals, where my political ideals are a minor attribute that I pay little attention to outside of JU. most people i know probably have no idea of my political leanings.You wouldn't believe who I think is an epic douche.

Funny, lately I have found that this is true for some of our friends on the left. Very surprising how they have behaved post election.I probably wouldn't be suprised, you tend to base who you are around your political ideals, where my political ideals are a minor attribute that I pay little attention to outside of JU. most people i know probably have no idea of my political leanings.
Yes the did.I've noticed that as well - lots of liberals crying. Whole lotta butt-hurt Rs the last 8 years but they didn't piss and moan incessantly like so many Ds are now.
