It is not the norm to have a no-knock warrant in a white collar crime case” so what part of Star’s response was wrong? The raid highlights just how serious Mueller regards Manafort's involvement. Let's not forget that Manafort served as Trump's campaign manager in 2016, despite him being a known shady character who's been under investigation since 2014.
    What you cited is much closer to the truth, with much less drama.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      More drama queen commentary. You know NOTHING about me or my interaction with my congregation. But, again, that never keeps you from your goofus conclusions.

        No, you're easily the most emotion-driven poster on the site; drama is practically your middle name. It especially comes out when you have no convenient facts to fall back on.

          • i can think of several more emotional driven posters but in the liberal atheist crowd he easily tops the rest. tassman/tiggy/jiml are practically robots

                If you're referring to a few of the extremist SJWs, sure.

                But I'd say there's a bigger problem on the US right where conservatives these days don't actually have any coherence or policy and are united more by their general hatred towards liberals / educated people / experts / elites etc and their enjoyment of seeing "librul tears" than they are by any coherent ideology or worldview. e.g. see the ongoing failure to produce any kind of healthcare plan, writing crazed memos about cultural marxists allying with globalist, the alt-right marching with torches etc.

                  The left-corporate alliance is an existential threat to us and mainstream conservatives are often on their site, it's perfectly normal to have an incoherent ideology when everybody is looking for the truth in the ruins of failed National Review conservatism.

                      As opposed to the moral rectitude of the Alt-Right you mean, and those like you who have adopted its hateful ideals, such as Breitbart, Steve Bannon AND Donald Trump.

                        Nah, it's not just the social-justice warriors. They represent the leading edge of liberalism, but they're not the fringe, and the majority of liberalism follows closely in their wake.

                        Let me put it this way: I have yet to meet a liberal who can argue rationally in favor of his position. It's always about emotional appeal with them.

                            So what’s the non-emotional, rational argument in favour of the alt-right’s unabashedly white nationalist views and Richard Spencer’s fantasies about a white ethno-state and the calling for mass deportation and ethnic cleansing for Jews and people of colour?

                            The photos from Charlottesville show Confederate flags, Nazi insignia, and militia members with guns. David Duke was there. The alt-right has never shed its association with older fascist and white-supremacist ideas and movements. . This seems to be a good thing to your mind
