Our New President - President Donald Trump

It's a bummer that horses and buggies can't travel faster than cars.

Trump, his friends and his supporters will never admit Russia is connected to Trump and others. They will lie, shift blame and make up nonsense as long as they can. Jeff Sessions LIED under oath- but still has his job for now. Sickening! If it was a Democrat- Republicans would've made sure he resigned. I honestly feel this corrupt and evil Republican congress right now will let nearly anything slide. I also feel this could be bigger than Watergate.

I can't wait for elections for congress members and certain governors. I don't see many of them keeping their jobs- especially the ones that continue to skip town halls. Ignoring people is horrid! People can whine and claim "town hall crowds are just paid off by Obama, Soros and others" but that honestly isn't the case in every instance. I think people saw there was paid protestors, so they easily latch onto the belief that nearly all people are paid off. So stupid and obviously not real!

Reality will soon set in for most of America- especially when products from Mexico will likely go up in price to help pay for the wall. Sorry but Trump can't force Mexico to pay for the wall! It was just a lie to get votes, just like "drain the swamp" and other things.

Of course I agree, Androbot (pertaining to cars being the best thing that happened to horses).

I was speaking of Meistersinger's problems with cars.

nevermind. i'm sure this makes it all right: http://blogs.wsj.com/briefly/2014/03/18 ... ng-crimea/

the US was wrong in iraq, iran (supporting the shah), and el salvador, to name a few. us being wrong doesn't give others a pass.

Restatement, again. It's okay to talk to Russians, and it is a normal and desirable part of the job of politicians and their aides. They do have to disclose those meetings and in some cases are required to be debriefed by intelligence agencies about the content of the discussions. That's also part of the job.

It's okay for regular citizens to talk to Russian officials, too. Depending on who you talk to, you might get some interest from the IC there, too. If it turns out you were encouraging or even turning a blind eye to criminal acts undertaken by their affiliates, in the interest of creating some gain for yourself, that is always a problem.

The Russians have a loose network of hackers who receive protection in exchange for doing some work. Their government doesn't get anywhere near the oversight of ours, so we have more limits on how we can use that kind of resource.

If you look at it from the context of motive, method, and opportunity, we have 2 out of 3 so far, and only an investigation can decide whether the content of the discussions violates US law.

For the record, if anyone can prove we interfered in their elections, they should stand up to the US. I'd support an investigation there, as well, and I believe it would also violate our laws. It would certainly cause some heads to roll, metaphorically.

now sweden has reinstated the draft for fear of russian aggression.

Russian hackers didn't make John Podesta use 'p@ssword' as his password or fall for some stupid phishing scheme, it didn't make him say or do any of the things revealed in those emails either so to blame the Russians for anything is preposterous and delusional in the extreme. There is nothing sophisticated at all about the way that email was compromised and there is no real way to determine who or how many people gained access to that information which was distributed by Wikileaks which has never posted anything fake. There is no proof at all behind the insinuation that 'Russian hackers under the person orders of Vladimir Putin' were behind any of this to begin with and to blame these exposed emails(which are a separate issue from her own email problems) with Hillary losing is absolutely ridiculous. People are very stupid and trying to spread the idea that essentially is saying "Russia rigged our election therefor Trump isn't the legitimate president", this is deep state in action and they want to prove our democracy to be merely a mirage.

Russians didn't make Hillary campaign more in Arizona and Texas than Wisconsin and Michigan, they didn't make her or her staff do or say any of the unethical things that they did, they didn't make Anthony Weiner be a creepy pervert. Partisan knuckledraggers really need come to terms with the reality that they lost an election and to stop acting like you can just pretend like results this election didn't happen. All this talk about Trump being a threat to democracy but who is actually threatening our democracy? The theatrics and extremism of the Democratic party won't go unforgotten, this is a losing hand every times it's played.

Trump is a crook and has always been one! He's conned many people in the past, now he is literally conning the USA. Sickening.

People can claim he is innocent and Russia isn't an enemy all they want. The fact of the matter is- Jeff Sessions LIED UNDER OATH! Period. He should be fired or forced to resign. Trump's son-in-law had a meeting with Russians in Trump Tower in December. Apparently this was done in secret and now it's out in the open. Hiding meetings of any nature is suspicious. How many other secret meetings were there? How many illegal servers does Trump and friends have? The answer to both of those certainly isn't zero.

Trump is a chicken that can't release his taxes, because he knows it will show his connections and so on. People that are pro-Trump will come up with nearly any excuse in the book, ignoring what experts have said on the matter! Sorry Trump fans but all these experts aren't just people that are trying to take down Trump.

While I dislike prognostication, there are few things I feel fairly certain of.

Trump will continue as President throughout his term and get better at doing the job.

Nothing will be resolved with all the Russian connection/influence/blackmail/hacking etc investigation nonsense.

However even though the Russian connection investigations will go nowhere - they will be brought up in 2020 - which seems to be the whole point of them in the first place.
