May 27, 20197 yr comment_976802 Well they can have fun with that. Do you really believe Nadler will break the case and find something Mueller couldn't? Or are they just trying to keep the negative press rolling into the next election? I'm waiting for those articles of impeachment. No guts, No glory. Let's do this. While Nadler plays with his nads… Joe Biden is about to get covered in shit... he was Vice-President when all this happened. Mueller recommended impeachment, at this point its just getting the ducks in a row. Most scientists agree... it's "most" because they are the only ones that are asked and the only ones that are counted. If they don't 'agree", they lose their grants, their jobs, and their publishing. Most scientists need the money. The planet is always changing, it's been changing for about 4 billion years. We can try to keep up with it, and adapt as we always have since our short existence began, but we cannot stop it. You know it's bullshit when the only "solutions" they come up with involve globalist government, and total control. I'll let you in on a little secret if you promise not to tell... this planet will eventually die, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Don't tell anyone. So your theory is that climate change isn't real because someone is essentially bribing/blackmailing almost every expert in the world, and has been for over 20 years? Report
May 27, 20197 yr comment_976805 Mueller recommended impeachment, at this point its just getting the ducks in a row. I must have missed that impeachment recommendation, but if that's what you got out of that read, and you can get to that result, the problem you will have next is finding a credible government official as a witness that isn't under indictment. Framing a President for treason has got to carry some heavy punishment. The House Democrats can still draw articles of Impeachment for any reason, and force the process, but the Senate will next exonerate the President of all charges, and give Trump a big win. Draw that pistol. So your theory is that climate change isn't real because someone is essentially bribing/blackmailing almost every expert in the world, and has been for over 20 years? Typical Democrat... I'm just minding my own business and some Democrat rushes up to me and screams in my face... "The world is coming to an end because you drive cars and eat meat, so you have to bend over for government control of your life". I give him the finger, and he goes on about his theory on what he believes. I give him the finger again, and his response is accusing me of having a theory.

May 28, 20197 yr comment_976865 Firstly, apologies, kinda late. Blame me wanting to be thorough and not finding a gap to squeeze in a reply worthy of its name. This does make stuff pile up and me feeling I need even more time >_> We shall see my Belgian friend, in the coming few months, we shall see what happens. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it... but something tells me that Attorney General William Barr would not say a thing about spying and abuse of government power, unless he already knew it has happened. A good lawyer would never ask a question that they didn't already know the answer..Yeah, this coming from the guy who had seen zilch of the Mueller report but wrote a multipage job application stating he would exonerate the POTUS regardless of what the report would hold (let alone him then misrepresenting it with his 4 page memo). Yeah, thats the guy who doesn't speak before he knows everything....As far as you can tell? Look closer. She ran a primary challenge against Joe Crowley in an absolute safe Democrat district. Joe Crowley was like the #3 Democrat in the House, and he was never seriously challenged since he took the seat in 1998. He was totally blindsided by AOC when she took to the streets with her blabber mouth and wide open eyes. She was able to cobble together an entire 16,000 votes, and bested Crowley and his 12,000. This stunned the nation. So now we have a young, stupid, Socialist, pushing unpassable legislation that can effect the entire Republic of 350 million people... because 4,000 idiots in the Bronx turned on Joe Crowley..Sounds like a tea-party playbook scenario. Speaking of them, where are they now when Trump is piling up dept?.Congress was never granted Constitutional power to pass laws that take rights, or liberty, away from these Americans in order to bestow greater rights, or liberty, to those Americans. The Green New Deal would destroy the lives, liberties, and rights of millions to satisfy the grandeur of a few. It doesn't stand a chance..For all that the right's campaign against any kind of anthropogenic climate impact facts, it does boggle me that it boils down to some individuals wanting to get richer of it. Sounds both very Capitalist (le gasp!) and already happening in current corperations. Sounds like "old money" is scared of what the new kids with there new toys can rake it. How you guys can keep thinking we aren't affecting the planet is beyond me, isn't like you would like living in a plastic bubble for more then a few hours, you'd die. Yeah the thing is pretty big and has lots of buffers to soak up changes, but eventually you tip the balance and it goes somewhere to a new balance. A balance we as a species will survive, but as a society that is a thing for the future..The shit is about to hit the fan...https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-gives-ag-barr-authority-to-declassify-documents-related-to-2016-campaign-surveillance.See reply #1.

Speaking of them, where are they now when Trump is piling up dept? We are still here, and like I have already said many times, Trump never promised to cut spending... he promised to increase it. Trump spent a ton on the military, which I fully support. He had to trade a lot to get that military spending, but we forgive him for that. Strange that Democrats are suddenly becoming deficit hawks, and are trying to use government spending as an issue against Trump... but we're smarter than that. We know what to expect from the alternative. Also he could have done this move with Sessions, at the very start of his term. Curious he only does it now after he got a more willing AG. Bullshit. No one knew the Steele dossier was used to obtain FISA warrants that early, or that the entire Obama Administration had rigged Trump's transition to be framed in scandal.

May 29, 20197 yr comment_976890 Bob Mueller just came out and spoke for the first time since the release of his report. He announced the closing of the case, the closing of his office, and his retirement. He went on to say his report speaks for itself, and he will not elaborate further... he will speak no more about it, and if Congress forces him to appear, they will get nothing more from him than they have already received. The meat of his statement was that he could not charge Trump with a crime, even if he wanted to... so if charging the President of a crime was the intent of the investigation, the entire thing was a fools errand from the start. My personal take from this statement has to be that Mueller wanted to charge Trump with obstruction, but he could not charge a sitting President with a crime because there could be no trial while he holds office. I believe this creates more questions than answers, and we are not getting the answers from Bob Mueller. This was not a good day for Trump, and the drum beat to impeach will get much louder.

If so I reiterate that I am not a Democrat, never have been and only have voted for 5 total in my 12 years of voting, where as I have voted for 50+ Republicans. Right now Fossil fuel companies are paying literally anyone they can buy to deny climate change because it would kill them, just like they stoked fears with nuclear energy which is the safest, cleanest and cheapest energy. Also the Green Bill does not say not to drive, it does not say to not eat burgers its mainly keeping companies accountable for the carbon footprint they are causing, because honestly even if every American stopped eating beef it wouldnt matter much.

Wildfires caused by lightning... or just some idiot with a match, can do the same thing. I have no problem with improving things to live on a cleaner planet... no one is against that... we are totally against any government using "climate change" as an excuse to impose a Progressive or Socialist political agenda. From what was said on the Mueller report the only reason that they did not press charges was because Trump is president and he believes that criminal proceedings cannot be done on a sitting president. I hear ya... but is that really the truth? I watched this again, and again, and I thought about it real hard for a long time, and I can't understand why Bob Mueller did this today. We didn't learn anything new from his statement. So, I have come to the conclusion that he spoke today because he doesn't want to testify in front of Congress. He knows the Democrats are not happy with the results of his investigation, and they are furiously screaming for his presence to explain why they still have a President Trump in office, but Democrats will not be the only people to ask questions. Republicans will also be asking questions, and they actually have more questions for Mr. Mueller than what went wrong with it. Mueller said very clearly that he could not find evidence that Trump did not commit a crime. This statement is totally out of line. His job, like every other Federal Investigator, was to find evidence of a crime, or criminal behavior. It's never up to them to find evidence to clear anyone of a crime... everyone is innocent until proven guilty... so, if there is no evidence to prove that someone committed a crime... they are "Not Guilty". I now believe Mueller doesn't want to be questioned by Congress, but he also wants Congressional Democrats to keep up the pressure. This could very well be Mueller's attempt to cover his own ass, because his investigation will be investigated as well. We shall see... there's much more to come. I really hope you aren't calling me a Democrat again because we disagree on something.

Well Mueller did find plenty of obstruction which is a crime, what he couldn't find was evidence that Trump didn't collude with the Russians. As it stands we know that Russia did help get Trump elected, we know that Trump has been a constantly crying snowflake about the whole investigation and that people involved in his campaign including his son have had interactions with the Russians. As for Mueller's statement it is my opinion that the statement is in line because it is what the report said, his job was to find out if the Russians interfered with the election and if Trump was colluding. Mueller couldn't disprove collusion so he had to say that, especially when people like that Barr decided to lie about the report and say it proved no collusion when it reality it said no such thing.

Something is gonna happen. .Meanwhile the DoJ is trying to bully the House into stopping its legit powers of oversight and trying to get the couple (yes couple!) counts of contempt stopped from moving forward to a vote. Talking about impeachment, would a partyline vote in the Senate despite (plausible) valid charges sway you to denounce the current GOP members? (no need to denounce the GOP ideology offcourse, rotte apples don't spoil my appetite for apples in general). There is a ton of obstruction, I would be shocked if you didn't see it. Trump has not been subtle with interfering with the investigation.You still believe it was a legitimate investigation. It wasn't a legitimate investigation... that's why it's closed. .From what has been shown, we don't even know why it was closed, seeing the still various ongoing investigations and lack of actual questioning of key figures . But what has already been let out shows clear obstruction, which apart from their being legitimate reasons surrounding Russian interference, that stands even if nothing actually got found.. Hell the investigation was needed because even Trump admitted that the Russians helped get him elected. The fact of the matter is that a foreign power messed with our elections and not only got away with it but the ruling party has decided it was okay and wont do anything to prevent further meddling.You're lost my friend. You have purchased the entire farm from the fake news network. Don't say anything more until Barr is finished. Then you can tell me I was wrong... or that it's all been rigged because you won't believe it anyway. You probably won't even believe it if they all confessed. Trust in that Climate Change thing... you guys always have to blame something for your misery. .As said before, Barr is activly fighting the very House oversight powers the Republicans so readily used to hold a dozen Benghazi hearings. I don't think you will find a beacong of righteousness in Barr like you think he should have as AG. Speaking of farms, hows that bail-out program going? Howmany trillions have been pumped into US farmers yet? Or rather, how much of that bailout is actually going to farmers in need and not big multinationals who can take a punch?. Thing is, nature's emissions were in balance with its carbon fixation potential. You are basically complaining about a river not just flooding your town ever so often but it actually being submerged by 100 feet of water after some rich dude build a dam downstream from you.What I'm saying is this Climate Change thing is the "religion" of the left. Progressives have a problem with religion. Religion prevents many people from supporting Progressives, and the Progressives cannot prove that God does not exist... so Progressives created the Climate Change Catastrophe... convert to Progressive or everybody dies in a hundred years. The only solutions to the Climate Change Catastrophe are in line with Progressive policies. Any Capitalist solutions to the Climate Change Catastrophe are unacceptable to the Climate Change Catastrophe Bishops. You are in luck... I'm not a religious man... but I don't buy into the Climate Change Catastrophe either… so this free thinking individual will call out the bullshit every time, and on every level. I don't believe you. .Can you stop being so religious in your idea that Climate Change will be "the end of the world" in biblical terms, cause thats talk that only comes from people who don't understand the entire thing (on either side!). Heck most solutions, or rather methods to combat climate change, are capitalistic in nature! Or are you thinking that the new green industries popping up aren't in it for making $$? I personally have no issues with religion in as far as people are willing to understand that religion isn't the one saving grace of mankind. If you need an invisible power to guide you into your daily life, so be it. But if you need it solely to not be a terrible human being, well, you actually are a terrible human being.

At best the Rebuplican congress tried to get the FBI to investigate him for possible lies and uncouth interactions with the media, both feld nose first cause the FBI already extensivly researched him when he came forwards with his info.Again, it has been confirmed that FBI (counterintelligence) investigations surrounding Trump were started before the dossier was floated around, stop trying to paint it as a (false) smoking gun.

Just wanting to show that the cycle will continue. Specifics can always be debated.. Gratz? Point of party over ideology stands. Issue of a 2-party system.We have many political parties, and they all have ideologies..But your system is a 2-party one. You guys aren't even like France which has a quasi 3-party system (they tend to roll up into 3 parties on national elections). Sure other parties (and there associated ideologies) are present, they can at best be called fringe parties.
