Will Trump win again???

Actually Steele was originally paid by a CONSERVATIVE news organization and only came to work for Clinton after the fact. Steele is a private citizen and not a foreign agent, nice try though.

Wrong.

In October 2015, Fusion GPS was contracted by conservative political website The Washington Free Beacon to provide general opposition research on Trump and other Republican presidential candidates. In April 2016, an attorney for Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC separately hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump, while The Free Beacon stopped its backing in May of 2016.[2] In June 2016, Fusion GPS subcontracted Steele's firm to compile the dossier.

 

[Mikkel]

This is such a joke. They are now going to “retroactively” make material classified in order to potentially prosecute people for security violations. Insane.

Washington Post: State Department steps up email probe of dozens of former Hillary Clinton aides

President Donald Trump's administration is investigating the emails of dozens of current and former senior State Department officials who sent emails to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

www-m.cnn.com

They broke the law.

 

[Mikkel]

Steele is a private citizen and not a foreign agent,

Steele is and was a foreign national.

[radsisrad]

Really? The president of the United States withholds $400MM from every country that doesn't investigate Americans based just on hearsay? Can you please show me a precedent, especially one involving prosecuting Republicans?

That entire phone conversation rings like blackmail, or quid pro quo, to anybody who's ever seen corruption before. And withholding an immense foreign aid (when compared to the Ukrainian economy) just confirmed it.

Let me stop posting here, because this is getting futile: those who have always found excuses for Trump will continue finding them, even when reality stares them in the face. Because it's not about the truth; it's about sharing the same bigoted values and/or selling themselves and the country out for thirty pieces of silver less in taxes.

"Rings like" is about as credible as the Russia hoax, physical fitness "scandal", and every other harebrained scheme you guys have tried to cook up to oust Trump. Grow up, get a hold of yourselves, and look back several decades to see what a relatively sane Democratic Party would look like.

Joe Biden is a former Vice President who engaged in extortion overseas.

Why is Joe Biden above the law?

Sure, maybe they are all corrupt. Doesn’t make what Trump did right.

He’s becoming part of the very swamp he promised to drain....

 

[Splenda88]

Sure, in third-world dictatorships. It was like Godfather IV, especially the part where it mentioned Giuliani. What's the president's personal lawyer, who doesn't exist as a member of US government, doing in a diplomatic discussion? Why is he even involved, unless we are playing Godfather? And, if this discussion was so innocent, why was the White House so desperate to hide it?

Keep rationalizing. Also remember the road to hell... If you don't like Warren, don't vote for her; I may not vote either. But there is really no excuse for voting for Trump except SELFISHNESS.

I come from a second-world developing country, and I'm telling you: THIS is how corruption looks. THIS is how a corrupt president who's dealing for himself and his businesses looks. To me, this is deja vu. It beats me how this isn't obvious to many millions of Americans, but, hey, this is the most naive/credulous population I have met on Earth.

I agree... This is how corruption looks like where I come from... Did not for either Hillary or Trump. It seems like Warren will win the nomination and it will be a tough choice for those of us who are in the middle.

I don't think Trump has done all that much for America, but he hasn't completely failed either. Politically neutral, unless there is a better candidate that presents them self, I would vote for trump or not at all. The current candidate pool doesn't look good, so if he wins again, I wouldn't be surprised.

And that's why I probably won't vote at all, as things stand. However, neither am I fooling myself about Trump, the Democrats or the Republicans (all have been dirty as hell, historically - no human is perfect, and power corrupts). The latter cult-like behavior is what makes me lose a lot of respect for people.

One is entitled to one's opinion, but one is not entitled to one's own facts. And here the facts have been screaming dirty and corruption, from before inauguration. The right is supporting a man who wants to be king, and that's why the present reminds some of 1776. On the other hand, the left has not been able to come forward with a decent centrist who's in tune with most of the country (e.g. against illegal immigration); that's all they need.

I take it at this point Biden is pretty much DOA now with these new transcripts.

Looks like it’s gonna be Warren vs Trump in 2020.

Save up! Or don’t she’ll just take it away.

Trump probably shouldn't have been such a fake populist to begin with. My two personal fave bald faced lies:

Trump: I Believe In Raising Taxes on the Wealthy, "Including Myself"

During his town hall event Thursday morning, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said that if he became president, he would advocate raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans, including himself. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE, NBC: Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy? DONALD TRUMP...

www.realclearpolitics.com

I've always said that if Trump won, he'd accelerate someone like Bernie or Warren winning because he'd basically be a pathological liar looking out for Trump inc. and a big time corporatist puppet for the gop Congress, policy wise.

Man I miss Obama! Reasonable marginal rates, good business and stock market certainty, deficit went down etc Probably the best president since slick Willy

 

[medgator]

.

Don't you understand that the Democrat platform is elimination of free speech?

Don't recall a dem calling the press the "enemy of the people" or constantly bashing CNN which is arguably more mainstream than right wing trash like breitbart or info wars

Journalists mainly get assaulted at Trump rallies. Let me know when dems start doing that

[medgator]

This has to be 10s of trillions of dollars...

The problem is the so called party of "fiscal conservatism" has zero credibility on talking about deficits. Trump has signed into a law a major tax cut without spending cuts and increased spending on the recent budgets to trillions of dollars at the same time.

Printing presses at the federal reserve won't ever stop at this rate.

Im a "never-trump Republican," but looking more and more at what the gop has done the last few years fiscally (among other things), not sure I'll ever vote Republican again

I voted for McCain over Obama and then Obama over Romney. And looking back, I can say Obama was a good president (not great)... Thinking about healthcare in particular, the public option (even if I was against it) that was proposed would have saved our healthcare system. It might be too late now.

And irony is that the individual mandate of Obamacare was modeled after a right wing idea of personal responsibility. The issue is that it didn't address costs.

I think the right wing and Republicans in general didn't want him to get credit so they tried to torpedo things ever since. And of course we all know repeal and replace turned into "choke and forget about it". The GOP has zero credibility on healthcare

Wrong, no Republican would support forcing people to buy an Obama-approved health insurance plan that includes things they do not want (like abortion coverage for men).

Republicans do support catastrophic coverage insurance, however. The problem with Obama is that he forced people out of those kinds of plans by fiat.

A former Prime Minister of Ukraine has said that authorities in that country must investigate Joe Biden’s son Hunter to establish whether or not his role on the board of a Ukrainian gas company complied with the nation’s laws.

"It should be investigated so that the 'i's can be dotted and the 't's crossed," Mykola Azarov told Reuters Saturday, adding: "If he [Hunter Biden] was simply on the books and getting money, then that could be seen as a violation of the law."

Just like the phone call to the Ukrainian president and the withholding of taxpayer dollars before then has to be investigated.

So far the Biden thing has been a big nothingburger, just ask the former Ukrainian prosecutor who was on the job at the time.

Steele was a high level British intelligence agent who was “retired”. How do you feel about Mifsud, Harper, Turk, etc. Our government under the Obama leadership led a operation using our intelligence assets as well as our allies (British, Italy, Australia, Ukraine, Germany etc) to spy on a US citizen running for the presidency of the United States to undermine his campaign before and after the election.

The issue is not a republican vs democratic issue. Stop the division over party, race, sex, wealth etc and understand the implications of the above. All major players of both parties wanted Trump to lose...why

 

[Mikkel]

It turns out that the Ukrainian government had no idea the funds were withheld.

How do you do quid pro quo without the quid?

That whole theory falls on its face, and all you have left is Trump trying to get to the bottom of why a former vice president was proudly admitting he extorted the government of Ukraine.

Biden isn't even Trump's political opponent, he's just a former VP who will probably not make it through the primary. So you're saying anybody with a D next to their name is off limits from corruption investigations?

Market did fine under Obama. And trump. Remember how much futures tanked the night Trump won? Although most of Trump's gains came in year 1 which you could argue was thanks to Obama.

The deficit is rocketing thanks to the Trump tax cut and GDP growth is decelerating. Not what was supposed to happen with the tax cut, but we've all heard that one before.

Honestly I think they'll do best under a centrist like Biden. Trump has created too much business uncertainty with his policy by tweet and back and forth on tariffs.

These days make me miss 2010. Obama’s ACA pretty much did it for me. Never really liked him or his band of beam counting goons who came up with the thing. Plus the guy wanted single payer tried to back door it with a public option.

People talk about how he emphasized transparency in his administration. Sure compared to this president probably but that was never really enough for me to like him as a president. Plus a lot of the provisions of the ACA were to take effect late into a second term or for the next president to deal with and take the heat for.

We faced the worst recession in decades and the bottom dropped out quickly and no matter who was in the White House Nobody wanted to be the next Herbert Hoover. The regulations in banking kicked in and stimulus talk and QE we’re on the table. Even McCain would have seen the wisdom of that despite his party being all about the “free market”.

[BLADEMDA]

Let's take a look at Warren's policies. Do you agree with her on these issues?

1. Higher taxes- Let's assume she raises YOUR taxes by 15%. That is a conservative number as the total tax increase may be higher.

2.- Debt- Warren won't be paying down the debt but increasing it by trillions to help fund environmental causes and liberal policies for the poor.

3. Wealth tax- This won't affect any of you but do you support it?

4. Medicare for all- Let's assume she gets this passed by the Congress. Do you support Medicare for all?

5. Immigration- Open borders. Chaos. Zero enforcement of existing laws on the books. Path to legal citizenship for those entering this country illegally. Millions more immigrants draining tax dollars and getting free healthcare.

6. Environment- Massive increases in the cost of carbon based fuels and foods such as beef. These costs will be due to taxes or regulations. Chines, Russians, Indians, etc will cheat on any supposed verbal agreements with Warren. USA will suffer heavily under such an arrangement.
