http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/23/politics/adam-schiff-trump-russia-grand-jury/

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is claiming that he has been presented with new information on collusion between associates of President Donald Trump and Russia that would merit a grand jury investigation.

Rep. Adam Schiff told CNN Thursday that he had seen additional evidence, but would not specify what it was.

“We continue to get new information that, I think, paints a more complete picture of at least what we know at the outset of our investigation,” Schiff said.

Asked to explain his comments earlier in the week when he said there was more than just “circumstantial evidence of collusion,” Schiff said, "I do think that it’s appropriate to say that it’s the kind of evidence that you would submit to a grand jury at the beginning of an investigation.

“It’s not the kind of evidence that you take to a trial jury when you’re trying to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt. But we’re at the beginning of an investigation, and given the gravity of the subject matter, I think that the evidence certainly warrants us doing a thorough investigation.”

And I think Trumpy owes Chevy Chase a check for stealing his catch phrase.

CNN is probably not the best source for unbiased and accurate reporting, IMO anyways.

Trump has managed to find a base so stupid that he can say and do anything and they’ll keep right on supporting him.

If you think 1 person has cornered the market on stupid, talk to Bernie Sanders, ask him how he feels about being cheated by his own people.

😉 (a wink in jest)

Joking or not, it’s not a valid comparison. Sanders “base” were not thrilled when he was doing things like endorsing Hillary. Trump’s base would just keep cheering him no matter what.

Trump is President due to the stupidity of Clinton and the DNC, not because Americans that voted for Trump are mindless idiots, and your suggestion they are is disappointing.

Trump won by the absolute slimmest of margins. As such, there are many reasons Trump is President, and the actions of Clinton and of the DNC are but two of those many reasons.

Personal opinions aside, there is no validity in calling the winning side’s supporters mindless idiots, just because they didn’t vote for the losing sides candidate. That was pretty much my point.

LOL

Not sure how long you’ve been reading this thread but a lot of us get confused by much of what Fo says vs what he’s trying to say.

The same could easily be said of any one of us in this thread and your interjection doesn’t add anything of value to the discussion.

That’s just my 2 cents, and yes, I know you didn’t ask for it. 😉 (a wink in jest)

I would prefer Sanders because if Pence moves forward you and other Clinton supporters are going to turn this thread in to a smoldering pile of guano, guaranteed, LOL.

I’m an Oklahoma Democrat. I liked Bernie, but I thought his ideas were too “pie-in-the-sky” to actually work. I felt, while Hillary is flawed to some degree, her ideas of what and how to get things done were more realistic.

That being said, I think I’d prefer Pence over Trump any day of the week and twice on Sundays, because at least the man is cool headed and respectable even if I disagree with him.

I pretty much agree with all of this.

Sanders could have taken Trump had he not been cheated. If Pence ran on his own for President he’d a never made it to the Primaries.

Stay classy, Trump Jr!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/22/us/politics/donald-trump-jr-criticizes-london-mayor-after-deadly-attack.html

Someone needs to tell him that when he says dumb things, it reflects badly on dear ol’ dad.

I read the article Donald Trump Jr. was referencing and London’s Mayor did indeed say … Sadiq Khan has said he believes the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city” and encouraged Londoners to be vigilant to combat dangers.

The comment starts off the article.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sadiq-khan-london-mayor-terrorism-attacks-part-and-parcel-major-cities-new-york-bombing-a7322846.html

So it’s kinda weird that the New York Times would twist the narrative against a Trump and it would get quoted here as factual? Now, I cannot say why Donald Trump Jr. decided to point out the irony of the comment to the person who said it but I would guess that he felt that since someone made the comment about the New York incident they should remember what they said before saying anything about their own terrorist incident?

I don’t have the answers, just the original article quoted, to show that the tweet was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative.

In wake of the London attack today, with people dying and still fighting for their lives in hospital, Donald Trump Jr didn’t send condolences - instead he dragged up an old article to attack London’s Mayor - and even fucked that up by taking The Mayor’s words out of context, or just not understanding them.

Yet you think that tweet from him was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?

Really?

In America, we have freedom of speech. None of us have to like what he said and I never claimed to agree with what he said on any level. I am sad to hear about what happened and the U.K. and I am personally glad the sob was shot and killed.

Freedom of speech is in a lot of places, and has nothing to do with what I said.

You said ‘…to show that the tweet was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative.’

I said 'In wake of the London attack today, with people dying and still fighting for their lives in hospital, Donald Trump Jr didn’t send condolences - instead he dragged up an old article to attack London’s Mayor - and even fucked that up by taking The Mayor’s words out of context, or just not understanding them.

Would you like to answer the question about whether you think that tweet from him was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?

Jason, you and I get along well, and I’m not going to argue platitudes with you. I don’t support what he said, I don’t like what he said, but he has the right to say it. I read the U.K. article and the article does indeed start out the way I posted it. I took nothing out of context but it is obvious that a lot of people feel that Donald Jr. did. Cool, I’m not arguing their right to do so, nor am I arguing about people feeling that way.

Now, if that U.K. article is wrong, they should be printing a retraction, and apologize to London’s Mayor for it. I don’t know either the London Mayor or Donald Jr. so I cannot and will not speak for them. It would have been appropriate for him to offer condolences but I cannot answer why he didn’t nor can I make him do it. As you said, he is responsible for his own words and actions, not me not you nor his Father. I am more concerned about my fellow human beings overseas than I am about what he said.

That’s all very well - but the only question was, and is, a simple one:-

Do you think that tweet from him (Trump Jnr) was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?

No, I do not think it was some random crappy comment from a Trump relative, he made a statement.

Now, would you mind stepping off my hands about it? Thank you.

Well, you could have just answered that simple question in the first instance instead of what you wrote in between, no?

Don’t feel tetchy about it (‘Now, would you mind stepping off my hands about it? Thank you’) - it’s not you whose first thoughts were seemingly to use an incorrect and out of context shitstain of a twitter comment to attack the London Mayor just after a terrorist attack there.

That Trump Jr what a cnut, eh? and those pricks that defend him for it too.

 

A statement from the Mayor Of London last night on the terrorist attack:-

https://twitter.com/MayorofLondon/status/844631399713947648

Jason,

I ask you again (politely and with respect), would you mind stepping off my hands about it? Thank you.

Well, you used the wink, so I can’t be sure of what you’re saying here.

Take this however you want, but the problem has been that you’ve been extremely inconsistent in how you use that emoticon, so it’s nearly impossible to tell when you’re just making a silly joke vs. when you’re being bitingly sarcastic.

I know how you feel about not being able to tell when people are making a joke or being bitingly sarcastic. It stinks. What I wasn’t going to do is treat you poorly because of the confusion. That would be unfair of me to do. Thank you for the straight forward discourse. It is appreciated.

The Russia news just keeps getting worse for Trump.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/politics/us-officials-info-suggests-trump-associates-may-have-coordinated-with-russians/

The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, US officials told CNN.

This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, according to one source.

The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.

“Suggest” and “may have” and “not conclusive” are key to that over-sensationalized article.

Time will tell if your characterization of the article is correct.

Those are words taken directly from the article you posted, they aren’t my characterization of anything

Your characterization of the article being over-sensationalized, not of the words you quoted.

The express use of those terms in the context of that article over-sensationalize it. And I didn’t write the article.

You have to be kidding me?!: Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan

I don’t know how you can interpret from that anything other than how it was characterized in the article I linked to, but ok.

I know he tweeted it but the sarcasm of your post seems to indicate that he did it because Trump’s just say stupid things without a concern about any fallout. I believe your analysis of the tweet is incorrect judging by the article he quoted when he tweeted. That is all I am saying.

Devin Nunes Confirms Surevillance Of Trump Transition team - Press Conference (3/22/2017)

House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) confirms that members of President Trump’s transition team were under surveillance in November, December, and January. He says he believes the incidental surveillance was legally obtained and, from what he has seen so far, it uncovered nothing regarding communications with Russia. They cannot yet confirm that it was done legally.

It was not revealed to Congress that it was happening and at this point no-one has come forward as to who unmasked the names of those people and leaked them, as it is now a Federal crime for leaking those names.

So are we still maintaining the narrative that Trump Tower was not under surveillance?

I posted about four pages back that Trump Tower was under surveillance, but that Obama didn’t order it, Trump wasn’t the target, and all normal investigative procedures were followed (warrants, etc). There were lots of people in that tower, including a bunch of Russian mobsters running a money laundering operation. You can’t exclude a whole tower full of suspects from legal surveillance just because one of the residents might someday in the future decide to run for President.

How you got from there to Trump Tower was not under surveillance is beyond me.

I posted about it as well so I am unsure how some of you don’t get the 😉 (joking sarcasm smiley). I guess I’m going to have to start labeling each one I use because I don’t want to get trolled about nothing and end up with a perma-ban because I stood up for myself because someone complained about me doing so.

I wasn’t targeting or harassing anyone for comments made prior to my post. It was simple joking sarcasm. The same reason everyone else uses the wink.

Please, don’t suggest something … say it, or don’t suggest it. Things have been going nicely and I don’t want to see that go to pot over some “suggestion”.

We American blokes have sadly only seen the latter half of Benny’s long tv career. (I think a good chunk of his 60’s shows are lost?) But there are flashes of brilliance even in the later years. I saw a sketch he did about how widescreen movies are ruined when being shown cropped on tv, that was as good as any Python skit. And not a half naked woman being chased in sight!

There was also a parody of The Avengers that cracked me up with all the purposely badly concealed stunt doubles I was reminded of watching the real show recently.

And Benny did movies too.

I saw a bunch of his early stuff when I was young, that is how I got introduced to him.
