Well, I dunno.....how many times must the president say....."I'm not being investigated."

Did the MSM make him say that?

You know something is up when someone offers up an excuse way too much; it reeks of cover up and insincerity. There are a few people that I've met that exhibit those exact qualities, so on point that I just nod my head, but deep down in my gut - I know, it's all bullshit. And for this Russia denial and Fake News excuse from the White House.......

"Methinks..."

It could all be true.

If that's the case, it's doubly a shame the way the MSM has been going about it's business since Trump was elected.

At the very least, most americans are just desensitized to it all by now. That tends to happen when you claim the sky is falling every single day.

Didn't these overpaid shills have parents that read Chicken Little or The Boy Who Cried Wolf to them when they were kids?

You're like Wishi. Every time you post your pompous, self-important judgments - that are 180 off from reality - you get funnier and funnier.

HAS IT NOT OCCURRED TO YOU BY NOW THAT IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO LOGICAL FALLACIES AND TROLLING YOUR SO-CALLED ARGUMENTS ARE LIES?

I thought my post was pretty self-explanatory, but I'll humor Sigs:

Far as I'm concerned the good people of Russia and the government are two separate entities. If I remember correctly, blue jeans (an American staple) there are over $200 a pop. But I digress. I don't think it's so much jealously, that's an ugly word; it's more like emulate, look up to even. Fashion is just one area.

But Putin has a deep-seated hatred for things American, mainly because he wants to be No. 1. He wants Russia to be the All-Powerful nation that rules the roost. He wants to be the "Leader of the Free World"; only thing is the world is not so "free" as people might think (poor fools, at least this is how some think).
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be number one, it's how you go about it.
Both countries have "done things" - things that have crushed some folk in order
to shove aside others to place ourselves in the front of the line.

Putin is doing his damnedest to "shove" his way on through to the front of the line. "We" are in his way is all. So I wouldn't use "jealous" per se. Of course, you would Sigs. But maybe a teensy bit, way down deep....yes.

"Where does he get those wonderful toys?" The Joker 1989. He was referring to Batman's gadgets. And the infamous, "This town needs an enema." Referring to Batman getting all his "press" or media attention, instead of him (The JOKER). That's Putin, his ego is as big as the Joker's in the movie. He thought of himself as a super intellect, which he was, but the other guy is getting all the attention.
Putin wants that recognition as the best leader of the world, because he feels he's better than. You don't think that there's a tiny bit of jealousy driving that superego? Well, anything is possible, but you can't rule it out completely either.

Wanting to improve your country is never a bad thing, sure. But stomping on another's dream in the process....well, that's not exactly kosher is it? So basically Putin is ruling with an iron fist, and who among us live free? Really?

Of course, that's just one man's observation.

So, let me get this straight.....you mean to say that Russia doesn't have a care in the world and is totally fine with our way of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oh goody gum drops! Golly gee Batman, they are good guys after all. I'm sorry I ever doubted Comrade Putin.- DULL

Do you really... REALLY ... think this is the problem we have with Russia - that they're jealous of our freedoms?
That's a serious question, by the way.- SIGNY

Are you asking if the average workaday Russian is envious of a ur freedoms,xliberty - or if Putin wishes his subjects had our freedoms, Liberty? - JSF

I dunno, ask SHINY. He's the one who said ...

"Russia" is a broad term. I don't know what SHINY meant, and clarification would sure be helpful!

You posed the "serious question" so you are the sole arbiter of what you meant by your statement. Do you need somebody else to tell you what you mean when you post things?

While you're squabbling about petty differences in style, my 1 percenters are stealing trillions. Congratulations for distracting the lower 99%! I can't thank you enough for your unpaid service, so I won't thank you at all.

n-would-do-almost-nothing-to-boost-gdp/
The Penn Wharton Business Model has analyzed the Republican Tax plan and reports back that it will have the following effect on GDP:

The 2027 GDP would be .58 percent higher than it would be under current law. That’s a difference of .05 percent per year.

After 2027, thanks to the $5 trillion in extra debt the tax cut generates, the economy would lose even this tiny amount of extra growth and maybe even grow slower than it would under current law. Between 2017 and 2040, the total net effect of the Republican plan is basically zero.

But a bunch of rich people would be a lot richer. Mission Accomplished, 1kiki! Say hello to Putin for me. Putin certainly has the visible trappings of a 1 percenter, Russian branch. http://time.com/money/4641093/vladimir-putin-net-worth/

In a word, yes.

What should he say or do that would appease you?

I'll list a few things he could say or do that I guaranty would not appease you.

1. Ignore the question whenever it is asked.
2. Say "No Comment" whenever it is asked.
3. Ban certain news outlets who are going to ask the question from events.
4. Completely isolate himself from the media.


This is the problem with a MSM that is so out of control and hyper focused on their hate for Trump and the Republican Party in general. (And also the problem with 24 hour news networks and news on the internet in general)

They never STFU about it.

I've said it before... please investigate. Not just trump and not just Republicans, but the whole collective cesspool. This government needs an enima. Flush em all out.

But do some real Goddamned investigative journalism first and quit with all the bullshit speculation and for fucks sake stop quoting random sources.

Every. Fucking. Story.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

At some point in time one would expect kiki and Jack to name two, would stop eliciting your ire. Sadly, it's what trolls live for. Still, I love the way their logic is reduced to ashes by you.
