    Thanks. But yeah, still not nearly as bad as an admission to a lifestyle of sexual assault. If people can rationalize that, we can rationalize anything.

    Another simple, random coincidence.

    LOL even if there's a video of Trump sucking Putin's dick

    Trumpets will be like "did he swallow though?"

    Naw, they like his lizard brain: he is going to either eat, ****, or insult everything in front of him, so in your (alleged) encounter, he's doing at least two of the three. His base would be a'ight with that.

    Former US President George W. Bush believes that the Russians interfered with the 2016 elections. Another wild Leftist gives an opinion.

    The current Vice President of the United States believes that Russia interfered with the 2016 elections.

    Honestly at this point it really isn't debatable.

    Regardless of any beliefs that it changed who was elected President, Donald Trump is the President and there will not be any recounts (and shouldn't be at this point) so those on the left wanting a recount need to move on and those on the right that are so thin skinned over the outcome need to get over it.

    Unless Trump is impeached, he is the President. At this point the concern needs to be a bipartisan agreement that Russia meddled in the USA elections and do what is necessary to prevent it from happening again.

    Yes..... and both the Democrats and Republicans agreed on sanctions overwhelmingly.

    Unfortunately the monster in the Oval Office refuses.

    It's a pretty dead horse now, I know (...like about 5,000 or so American dead, now)...
    ...but I might as well take another whack at it.

    When there's George W. Bush, 43rd President of these here United States, getting up in public ANYWHERE defending the veracity of our nation's intelligence divisions...those same divisions he himself not all that long ago virtually strong-armed into sanctioning a war we are now 15 years into with no forseeable end in sight, based on intelligence he (or at least his administration) compiled and then demanded be verified despite those same institutions questioning that intelligence...

    ...you know we've just about completed some kind of weird Faustian time loop.

    This much fun just CAN'T be good for anybody...

    So I understand, a powerful Russian investor met with Manafort, and then later met with a high official in the Russian government on a boat to talk about US relations, so I'm supposed to conclude that he's probably some sort of go-between in a conspiracy? I mean, maybe, but that's not exactly a mountain of evidence.
