    This is mental insanity because there isn't any evidence at all of electoral fraud, vote rigging or coercion of voters.

    You don't know that.

    So, either, James Comey did not believe that Donald Trump was trying to obstruct justice when he wrote that memo (assuming the memo actually exists), or he was guilty of knowingly committing a felony.

    Or maybe they're just working on gathering evidence before trying him for treason...?

    I swear, the media is going full Autistic when it comes to trying to destroy EVERYTHING that is Donald Trump. If the information is negative, or can be spun into a negative light, they are making sure the entire world hears about it. 24/7 Regardless if there is any truth to it or not.

    It's not the media, dummy. The media is just reporting on what's happening in Congress, and in the various state intelligence agencies. The FBI, NSA, and CIA aren't involved because of a story they heard on the nightly news. Sweet Jesus, use your brain.

  5. A. I'm not a national security analyst, and neither are you.
    B. It says that not all of the details are included for obvious, reasons.
    C. At some point, you have to chose to trust somebody. I'm going to choose to trust an organization that communicates in complete sentences over a compulsive liar that does not.

    Are you comparing Clinton's intelligence to Trump's? Really?

  8. multiple agency heads and senior legislators (from both parties) who have after months of investigations repeated that there is no evidence of any collusion.

    Owning a car has nothing to do with a place that 40 minutes outside of a city by car. You just rent one or use one of the soon-to-be-fleets of autonomous cars (or take a bus or a train). It sounds like you have a hard time grasping the freedom of not being tied down by the financial responsibility of owning your own car.

    Socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors, behavioral and metabolic risk factors, and health care factors explained 60%, 74%, and 27% of county-level variation in life expectancy, respectively. Combined, these factors explained 74% of this variation. Most of the association between socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors and life expectancy was mediated through behavioral and metabolic risk factors.
