    I'm open to all conversations if its not mud slinging. I'm interested in podcast so if anyone has recommendations I'd be very grateful. Also, has anyone read the Mueller Report?

    oh I'm pretty sure I will, I have funny debates. I'm pro life but I don't think there should be laws for that so you can imagine the conversations that brought.

    Welcome again! Have you found a plain text copy of the Mueller Report?

    Wade right in. You should start a new thread on one of the general chat forums with one of the nuggets you have found in the report. GL

    I'm up to page 254 and still going, its quite damming for the Obama administration, considering how much they knew was happening and did nothing about it.

    The Obama administration tried to ask leaders in Congress of both parties to sign a statement condemning these foreign efforts. The Democratic leaders agreed to do so. The Republican speaker, Paul Ryan, apparently thought that he could get there, but the majority leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, did not agree to do that. And so, ultimately, there was no public statement until October of 2016, by which time, with the view of history, it may have been too late to do anything about it. Ultimately, Obama's administration did take some action against the Russians. So in December of 2016 and January of 2017, there were some punitive measures the United States imposed. The Russian "diplomats," quote-unquote, were ejected from the United States. Their facilities in the United States were closed that they used to spy from New York and Maryland. And there were economic measures that the United States has taken, both under Obama and Trump, in retaliation for this election interference.is a joke...and non-existent under Trump.

    New posters. Remember the first time a baby poops and it has no smell? Then there's the second one....

    Also, got a new poster, then someone comes along and puts the first scratch on it. Hate that....

    Does he need a bath yet?

    Crazy what happens in just four years. Obama really hated Russia! ;)

    Yup...and Trump seems to...something. None of us actually know what that is but it does not seem on the level.

    There is a world of difference between seeming to and actually offering to sell out the country to the Russians, on an open microphone.

    On the level of admitting on an open mic to giving Russia all the flexibility they need? That's hard to beat. Interesting how in that same term...Russia invited themselves into our election.

    Hmm

    I take it you are referring to his "More flexibility to negotiate after the election" comment, but creating some strange new spin to do as you always do.

    Yes, I'm glad you were able to come to such a difficult conclusion after I posted the video.

    I'm confused. If Obama loved Russia so much, and you loved Obama...why are you so mad if Trump is cool with them?

    And by "cool with them"...Trump has expelled Russian politicians and operatives from the US and sanctioned their assets... lol

    Someone in his administration did that. They probably talked him into supporting that. It doesn't take much to talk Trump into something. Just today, in fact, Putin talked Trump into backing off of his threats to send the military into Venezuela and convinced him that Russia isn't meddling in Venezuela. All in just one phone call. I wonder if it was before or after the clown commiserated with his real foreign policy adviser about the "Russia hoax"?

    This is quite the conspiracy you've created in your head. So Russia convinced trump to kick out their own people that had eyes and ears on the ground in the US?

    Talk about your all time low, D!

    Someone mentioned hard core history. That is good and cheap if not free. Addicting!
    I do not know who has podcasts vs youtube. I only use youtube. Some also have podcasts.

    I like black pigeon speaks, black pilled, way of the world. Not too long. nationalist.
    If you like international news and analysis try The Duran. They can be quite long. Not pro US intervention for sure and often anti Israel.

    If you like detailed on the ground video blogs from China try ADVChina, Laowhy86, and SerpentZA. I learned a lot.

    If you want a palate cleanser and a real hoot try Soph on youtube. A foul mouthed 14 year old conservative.
