Steve Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 There hasn't been a special counsel since Nixon that actually found evidence of what it was set up for. Whitewater for Clinton, Benghazi, etc. It won't happen with Trump. Arrests and convictions were always for things that came up while investigating. Clinton's emails and using a server that wasn't secured has nothing to do with what that special counsel were set up for. Bill Clinton's impeachment was totally different than the initial investigation which was for allegations of sexual issues while he was governor of Arkansas. The amount of convictions in this Russia probe though is unprecedented and if we are to be balanced, it shouldn't end based on 1. precedence (Hillarys investigation lasted several years.) and 2. The level of criminal violations. Those 2 simple points which I have not heard the Democrats speak of is why that party is incompetent politically. They simply have no political nous. Amazing really. The Republicans are much better at the actual business of politics than the Democrats are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I saw a recent news clip that brought up Trump's meeting with Putin with no other person from the USA except his wife and I am actually not going to go with the prevailing theory of him getting instructions as some sort of Manchurian Candidate. I actually think its something else. If you recall, there was a rumor the Russians had a video of him gettng peed on and that was being used to extort him. There were further reports that he was very worried about those reports because his wife was very, very upset about the allegations. I actually tihnk the reason only his wife was with him and no one else was him telling Putin to dispel the rumors about this to his wife. That's my theory. I could be wrong but in some warped way it makes sense. Because he didn't want any record on the American end of him asking Putin to please reassure his wife there is no peeing video. lol.

Steve Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Totally agree with this.

Steve Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 The first thing we ask any politician who advocates medicare for everyone or universal healthcare is 'how are you going to pay for it'. We have spent several trillion dollars in Aghanisan and Iraq and NO ONE ever asked how were we going to pay for a war that was never going to be fought on our own soil. We can't call ourselves a great country when we had ove 60 percent of the people who filed for bankruptcy do so for medical expenses while the rest of the G8 had zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Sorry to hear that passingthru69... I hope you are recovered (health) - financially, well, we all suffer financially..... US debt sales hit records again, feeding deficit criticism The U.S. Treasury Department announced plans to issue another record-breaking amount of debt, giving President Donald Trump’s re-election opponents more ammunition as they question whether his tax cuts will pay for themselves. The federal budget shortfall is set to swell, driven by tax cuts, spending increases and an aging American population. As a result, the Treasury is raising its long-term debt issuance at its quarterly refunding auctions to $84 billion, the department said Wednesday, $1 billion more than three months ago. Such elevated levels of borrowing will finance the widening deficit, with Wall Street strategists projecting new debt issuance will top $1 trillion for a second straight year. etc etc etc https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/us-debt-sales-hit-records-again-feeding-deficit-criticism/ar-BBSWJk0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Another lie about President Trump goes down in flames! Will people finally understand that the fake media and many others continue to tell lies about President Trump... Escort says she made up Trump dirt story to help win release from Thai jail A Belarusian model, who said she had proof that President Trump’s campaign colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential election, has now backtracked and says she made up the claims. Anastasia Vashukevich, who spent months in a Thai jail last year for organizing sex training seminars, grabbed headlines after saying she has evidence that Russia worked with Trump’s campaign. She asked the U.S. government to secure her freedom from the Thai lockup and grant her political asylum in exchange for recordings in which she said Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska is heard talking about interfering in the U.S. presidential elections. She reportedly worked as an escort, with Deripaska being one of her clients... https://www.foxnews.com/world/escort-says-she-made-up-trump-dirt-story-to-save-her-life-in-thai-jail?fbclid=IwAR1AnBN78tcfbmzVzVJuwNKNVgtg_jyx1AO-mQBYXiz1jV5p56AS1qnEQXo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not National healthcare doesn't work because one of the two parties doesn't want it to. We don't need to get into the reasons why. It's not political for sure. The Obamacare we got wasn't the Obamacare what was proposed because it was fought against tooth and nail up to and including shutting down the government over it. National healthcare works in every other G8 nation. We have the fortune of seeing how others have done it, their mistakes. In fact, because of economies of scale, health care would cheaper in America if we were for it as a nation in earnest. I've lived and worked in other countries, some with excellent national healthcare. South Korea for example and I've befriended Americans there who are Republicans and I've never, ever heard them say anything less than how they loved the cost of healthcare and the system.
