Hawley’s a tool. He’s all over the Hong Kong protests for democracy but here he’s fine with another government using propaganda and money to influence our elections at home. But hey he and Grietens had a lot of dark money to get them elected.

Facts matter.

Ha, ha, that was a good one!! Sometimes I crack myself up! :rofl::sweat_smile::joy:

MO replaced Claire McCaskill with Hawley…truly a deplorable trade.

The Republicans continue to try to claim that the Obama administration interfered in 2016 to help Clinton, when the facts clearly show they did not do so. If anything, the government helped Trump, by not announcing the investigation, not announcing evidence of Russian interference to help Trump, and the Comey letter at the end. It’s really obvious nonsense…and it’s not clear if the senators know it and are just trying to appease their voters or have swallowed the propaganda and really believe it.

They are setting the stage for interference in 2020 though…after all, Obama did it, so why can’t Trump and Barr do all kinds of things to help Trump win? I really expect to hear that sentence sometime late in the election season the way things are going.

Wherever they have to in order to destroy American democracy and freedom and replace place it with a lily-white oligarchy.

But will they be so brazen as to have a meeting on the tarmac?

Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff said so in the Impeachment.

So that’s no surprise.

Last night, we knew about Durham’s pro-Trump false “investigation-conclusion” due this coming spring.

As I said numerous times, there is no country I know of better equipped to topple a person like Donald Trump from Power.

The American people are still divided into thirds, however:

  • A group totally dedicated to re-establishing a Trump presidency in 2020

  • A group which was aroused enough to win the House in 2018

  • A Third Group

Our job is to get as close to 67% anti Trump overall as possible…That may compensate for the cheating…but I would prefer for Trump to have resigned before the election

Absolutely. But they’ll blame Killary for it, somehow. The perfect defense: it’s not wrong, and even if it is, it wasn’t our fault, and even if it was, this isn’t what we wanted to happen, and even if we did, we never would have done this on purpose.

You found proof that we planned it exactly like this?

You’re fired.

They don’t have to, they’ll meet in the Oval Office . . . with the door closed.

But Blumenthal continued to prod, asking Horowitz if the FBI meddled to affect the outcome of the 2016 election.

“We did not reach that conclusion,” Horowitz said.

“But we will as soon as we start looking at the NY FBI office,” he said, examining his fingernails.

KONS know the truth, the lies just serve them better. They can’t change now their konned would then know they’ve been lied to for some 40+ yrs, The konned might wake up a bit but many would stay because of their shared hatred for the same folks.

They do, most assuredly. They may not be operative right now, but never doubt that they matter. Biggly
