    • Like I've been saying, the real story here is the leaks. The Flynn thing is just a distraction.

      ----------

      (Breitbart) Rubio, a member of the committee, also said he was concerned that intelligence was being leaked to the press, rather than given to committees that have oversight over the intelligence agencies.

      “I am concerned that people within the U.S. government, intelligence agencies and law enforcement, are providing more information to the press than they are to the committees that have oversight over their activities,” he said.

      “I also think it’s problematic that you have individuals — whether it’s within the White House or within different agencies — who appear to be putting out information to the press that seem to be driven potentially by some sort of agenda, so it is concerning,” he added.

        To understand why a bigoted POTUS would be so bad we need to see what bigotry is:

        Bigotry, in my opinion is founded in the apparently innate human aptitude for feeling that one is at the centre of things, that one’s desires and rules of behaviour, one’s clan, one’s religion and so on are special and superior (or at best not inferior) to everyone else’s. There is an interesting verse in Galatians: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one” (doing well up to this point) “in Christ Jesus.” (it goes and spoils all the good work by claiming the centre). He might as well have said ‘you are either with us or against us’ but this verse in Galatians is used to demonstrate that Christians are an inclusive group. In fact, any group that claims special significance or privileges of some kind is exclusive and therefore promotes bigotry.

        So, if we suppose that we should govern ourselves my two simple principals: equality and the ‘golden rule’ then we see straight away where religion contaminates the space with the demand that it is special; that there is another level of authority above that which we adopt from time to time to manage our domestic affairs. The troublesome religions that infest our world all have this woeful characteristic of dividing humanity into believers and infidels. We must fight it at every opportunity we get.

          With you so far.
          Bigotry, in my opinion....
          How about we stick to reputable definitions, rather than the opinion of one who's known 'round these parts for seemingly saying shockingly dumb things in order to get a rise out of people?

            You've got that backwards. Disarray is the immediate goal; the hope is that impeachment will follow.

            • And before impeachment can even be on the table, someone has to prove that Trump actually did something illegal, which so far, there is zero evidence.

                  Sorry, Jimmy, but Trump has been under the microscope for almost two-years. If there was anything to find, they would have found it already, especially now that we know intelligence agencies inside Washington have been colluding with the Democrats to take the President down.

                  You're worried about Russian interference? Your concerns should be focused closer to home.

                    • Trump's aghast behavior at leaks seems inconsistent at best and disingenuous at worst given how liberally he cited Wikileaks as a source during the campaign relating to an issue dealing with national security.
                      "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                        There's a rather large distinction between what Trump cited from wikileaks (Never anything actually classified) and someone leaking actual classified data.

                              Different kinds of leaks. Private communication of no national security importance versus classified information that can directly impact the safety and security of the US. The latter is a far greater concern.

                                no dumbass. If they impeach Trump, Pence takes over. After that it continues down the line, every one of which is a republican. Republicans all the way down. Sorry but the liberals are out of luck till the next election.
