    Bill, I know an autocrat, a dictator wanna be, when I see one. You obviously don't. Either that, or you do, and secretly like it.


    Again, you have no clue what that word means.
    Yeah, actually I do, we have one in the White House which will be born out in the end.

    No, it isn't Bill, it's about democratic institutions and the will of the people.

    And your silly photo's are supposed to tell us what?


    Yeah... thank goodness for you butchers...

    Different subject Bill, isn't going to help your argument. You conservative anti-abortionist are mostly frauds anyway, if you actually cared about the unborn, you'd care about them after they are actually born as well, but you don't. Thats where Liberals come in.

      Actually, yes I do know. That's why I knew what the article I cited meant. Obama was the autocrat, Jim.

      Sorry, but no. Nothing Trump has allegedly done is treason. Now Bradley Manning, pardoned by Obama... now THAT is what treason means.

        Here is a quote from a wanna be dictator Bill: " You know the saddest thing, because I'm the president of the U.S., I'm not supposed to be involved with the Justice Dept., I'm not supposed to be involved with the FBI, I'm not supposed to be doing the kinds of things that I would love to be doing. And I'm very frustrated by that." D.J.Trump.

            Openly acknowledging the limitations of the presidential office makes Trump an autocrat?

              How come whenever you provide a "quote", you can't ever actually source it with an actual cite? I mean, it's not that we don't trust you - it's just that you're wrong so often.

              And, what the sam thunder is a "wanna be dictator Bill"?
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

In exchange, Flynn agreed to share all he knows about the president and his aides with Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election".

                  The deal came as a searing conclusion to what Flynn called Friday “many months of false accusations of ‘treason’ and other outrageous acts.” It hints at the enormous pressure he was under to cooperate.

                  And officially establishes him as a liar in the eyes of the court, so his testimony will be suspect, at best.
                  It will be interesting how Flynn's lies stack up against Trump's lies.

                    Perhaps you can explain how those are a measure of socialism?

                    As an observer from outside the US, this seems laughably backward. US liberals are pushing for policies that elsewhere in the world have solved the problems that the US is grappling with, and that the rest of the developed world is laughing at the US for its ongoing failure to adopt those tried and true solutions to the problems it obviously faces. Whereas US conversatives seem to be absolutely and completely insane and nutty and pushing for policies that have never been seen in the any of the rest of the developed world and seem like bizarre African dictator policies.

                    But perhaps you have a specific policy or two in mind?

                    I am confused as to what you are talking about. Are you combining the recent Republican tax vote to intentionally run up trillions of dollars worth of debt, with all the various Republican sex scandals, and then projecting it onto Democrats?

                            Evidence and corroboration, CP. Mueller already knew that Flynn lied which is why he pleaded guilty. How did Mueller know? Evidence!

                              He's MSNBC's legal analyst and therefore speaks for the network. Unless you think major TV networks just let their people go on the air and say whatever they want off the cuff?
