And shockingly enough, Flynn was the only Democrat Trump appointed. So, Trump purges a lying disloyal Democrat from his administration, likely to be replaced with a Trump-loyal Republican, and the left is cheering. I don't know what they think they won. I think they've just been losing so badly on all fronts for so many months now that even losing their own guy in Trump's camp feels like a win?
The main problem is the media and leftists holding up McCain (or Lindsey Graham) as any kind of principled conservatives who in any way reflect conservative thought or who lead any kind of conservative movement. They're democrats with Rs after their names who exist so that the media can say "even people in your own party are opposed to [conservative thing]. See, we have quotes from deeply respected Conservative Republicans John McCain and Lindsey Graham."
Are you suggesting the Republican Party is that badly broken?
Yes? What do you think just happened in the last election? What do you think the Tea Party was?
The neoconservative movement was ex-trotskyites who want a more aggressive foreign policy (i.e., perpetual war). So they don't really give a shit about the issues conservative Republican voters care about, they play fight with the Democrats and lose, so long as they get their wars. So when you say "Oh my god, Republicans and conservatives have to care about what John McCain says he's your leader!" No he's not. He's a worthless piece of shit who bombed his own aircraft carrier, sang to the Vietnamese and continues his treason in the Senate. Fuck John McCain.
Okay, so you want to go to war with Russia then? Regime change? Why them and not Saudi Arabia or China? Their leaders do way worse shit to their people than kill a couple of journalists. Oh, and most of Europe isn't big on the first amendment, either. Try being a German and saying "fuck Islam, Mohammed was a goat fucker, get these fucking rapefugees out of my country" and see what the benevolent Frau Merkel does to you.
This is the bizarre disconnect. I don't like Putin, I don't dislike Putin, I don't really care about Putin. But to the left it seems like unless I want World War III with Putin RIGHT NOW then...I love Putin? Trump is some kind of Putin puppet?
How about this: Putin is doing Putin shit in Putin's country and it doesn't effect me so I don't really care. The Russians are, however, bombing the hell out of ISIS, and I do hate ISIS, which has been attacking the west, so it seems to me that working along side Russia to destroy ISIS is reasonable, and cost effective (those bombs ain't cheap). So it's not really very smart politically to constantly shit on Putin 24/7.
Which do you hate more, Putin or ISIS? If Putin, why?
Yes, McCain's lust for war in Syria and war with Russia is really valuing what's right and best for country and countrymen. McCain is a fucking traitor to the US and belongs in the Democrat party.
Yes, because Flynn lied by omission to Pence/Spicer about that. The FBI listened to the call and said it was fine...that didn't change. The only thing that changed is Flynn admitting he misled the administration, and getting canned for it. There still is no crime committed.
So, are you saying Flynn talked to the Russians on orders from Trump? But if the manner in which Flynn talked to the Russians wasn't illegal, then it wouldn't matter whether Trump ordered him to or not.
Also, I thought Trump was taking orders from Putin. Why would Flynn need to tell the ambassador what Trump was going to do about sanctions? Wouldn't Trump have already received his marching orders from Putin?
Sorry, I'm getting all my conspiracy theories mixed up for who Trump is a puppet of this week.
According to the FBI Flynn did nothing illegal. So why would he be getting sent to prison? He was "let go" for lying to Mike Pence, not for talking to the Russians. Shouldn't the narrative be that Trump is a dictator who demands loyalty from his toadies at all time and ruthlessly terminates anyone who lies to or embarrasses him?
Why? According to the FBI Flynn did nothing illegal. He was let go for lying to Mike Pence. The lesson here should be that Trump demands loyalty at all times, and lying to his people gets your ass canned ASAP. How is that bad, if you're a Trump supporter?
But the FBI says Flynn did nothing illegal. So, great, assume you can prove Flynn was talking to the Russian ambassador under Trump's direct orders. So what? No crime was committed. Also, if Trump is taking orders from Putin, why would Flynn need to tell the Russian ambassador what Trump was going to do? Trump would already have his orders from Putin, and no communication from Flynn to the Russian ambassador would be necessary.
Flynn was let go for lying to Pence about the conversation, not because of the actual content of the conversation. Shouldn't the narrative be "evil dictator Trump ruthlessly terminates anyone who does so much as withholds the slightest information from his people?"
Except according to the FBI, Flynn did nothing wrong. He resigned for disloyalty to the administration, not for illegal activities. So, even if Flynn was talking to the Russians on direct orders from Trump and you could 100% prove it...so what? The manner in which Flynn talked to them wasn't a crime.
And if this is part of the "Trump is a Putin plant" conspiracy theory, why would Flynn need to talk to the Russian ambassador about this, on Trump's orders, anyway? Wouldn't Trump have already received his orders from Putin via the dead drop in the 3rd brick from the left next to the fountain when there's a chalk mark on the mailbox?
But I still don't see impeachment. Imagine what that would do to the Republicans. It would make the Tea Party years seem like a walk in the park. It would be a civil war.
Added to that, Trump voters don't really care about this. According to the FBI Flynn did nothing wrong. As far as I can tell his sin was lying to Pence. Shouldn't the meme be "Trump is a dictator who squashes anyone who lies to his people?"
The comments on this story are all "oh wow it's all over Trump has lost all support"...from a bunch of people who never supported Trump in the first place. I liked Flynn, but if he was lying to Mike, well, fuck him, he's booted, let's get somebody else in there and get back to MAGA.
I don't get the hate for Russia/Putin. Is Putin a good guy? No, but on the scale of world baddies he's way, way behind China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, etc, but to the media and the left (but I repeat myself) he's public enemy #1. Why?
Have you ever heard the term "RINO?" As in "Republican In Name Only?" Neocon McCain is the chief RINO, and is generally regarded by conservatives to be a traitor who can always be counted on to attack other Republicans to the delight of the leftist media.
Except according to the FBI nothing Flynn did was illegal. Flynn's sin was lying to Pence. Shouldn't the narrative be that Trump is a dictator who is ruthless with anyone who is disloyal to or embarrasses him?
The FBI says Flynn didn't do anything illegal. He was literally fired for disloyalty to Trump. I don't know why the left thinks this is a victory for them. Shouldn't the narrative be that Trump is a dictator who is ruthless with anyone who is disloyal to or embarrasses him?
Trump is not in any way acting like Hitler. As far as supporters, it's the leftists in America who are committing violence against their political opponents instead of arguing and voting. You are the fascists.
Mr. Fryer found that in such situations, officers in Houston were about 20 percent less likely to shoot if the suspects were black.
You appear to not have any facts, you just watch how the media turns any shooting of a black person into national news and ignores the shooting of whites. Cops are therefore more likely to shoot an unruly white person because nobody cares about another dead cracker.
This behavior is completely illogical, self destructive, and fundamentally divisive and I cannot begin to fathom why someone would do this.
Indoctrination and social conditioning. And the human brain didn't evolve to be logical. It evolved to survive. If your social and political survival are dependent on looking at Australian aborigines and the Japanese and repeating "I DO NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE BIOLOGICALLY EQUIVALENT" then you'll do it, damn your lying eyes.
Can you point me to a successful civilization with significantly different gender norms to our own? And some jungle tribe doesn't count, I mean some place that invented the wheel at least.
Complete judicial power grab. It'll be overturned by the supreme court (as about 80% of the 9th Circuit's decisions they hear are), and hopefully the legislative and executive branches will dissolve the 9th circuit and replace it with a court that understand the meaning of "judicial review."

You understand that was about containing communism, not Russia, right? Is Russia a communist nation, spreading international communism in 2017?

Economically, perhaps, but culturally it's off the charts.
