    But, please, feel free to run around screaming THE SKY IS FALLING. It's about the only thing you liberals are good at.

    I can only assume that your faith is vested in the hope that the American people will side with you and Trump in the take down of democracy.

      You nailed it.
      Commentators I've heard who are familiar with drug abuse seem to be pretty much 100% sure that Trump abuses 1 or 2 prescription drugs. They point to his regular sniffing, and his alternating between being full of energy and almost sedated as being the major symptoms.

      I doubt it would matter though if Trump released a signed statement tomorrow saying he does this. His cultists will support him regardless.

          At this point he's basically been given the green light to recruit as many other countries as possible to interfere in the 2020 elections. He got away with Russia and now with Ukraine. Getting away with something twice is pretty strong incentive to do it a third time.

            You guys are absolutely hysterical.

            My dog just looked up at me to see why I was laughing. You guys are a pant load.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              People also said Obama was gay and Michelle was trans. Looks like the tin foil hat militia is taking over the left.

                Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                Than a fool in the eyes of God

                    Paying for it is legal, getting it free isn't.

                    That's how US campaign finance law works.

                    Money (or favors equivalent to money) donated to a campaign are tightly monitored and regulated, and can only come from Americans, and have to be under a limit. But campaigns themselves are allowed to pay US or foreign firms or people to do work for them. Doing opposition research is common, and it's common and legal for campaigns to pay firms to do opposition research. But a campaign isn't allowed to accept a gift of unpaid-for work from a company or entity doing opposition research.

                    It's kind of amazing that we're... how many years now?! ...into these foreign campaign finance scandals and you don't even understand the basics of US law on the subject.

                      You're such a funny funny boy ---- he was boasting about the Steele Dossier, so if it was LEGAL, then why did they go through such trickery and deceit to obtain it?

                      Yeah, thanks but no -- I really don't need to be schooled by some ferrener about how our laws work.

                          Yeah, thanks, but I don't need advice from a ferrener fool, either.

                            Ah, the firm was originally hired by republicans for opposition research, and there is nothing illegal about it. Wake up, have some more coffee.

                            Obviously, yes you do.

                              Why am I not surprised that your specious claims are long on insult and terribly short on backup?
