      You're welcome to stay as long as you like. You helped open my eyes about RWNJs so I appreciate it.

        Am I being obnoxious if I point out that you didn't answer the question I was asking?

        I'll gladly take the risk of taking this issue too seriously rather than run the risk of taking it too lightly. The worst betrayal of those in uniform by a president of all time.


        Unconstitutionally vague, so, no. All you're doing is ranting. I've provided a list earlier of all kinds of action Trump has taken against Russia.
        The definition of scandal is "an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage." The Constitution doesn't have to figure into it.

        Trump asked Russia into the G7 in the past couple of months. Trump announced plans to pull troops out of Germany in the past couple of weeks. Recency matters.

          You're like a guy in a mental institution yelling, "You're crazy!" at random passersby.

            You'd certainly be wrong. I think you've already been obnoxious.

              Ok, then for the slow ones among us what is the term you'd say best describes the two things I listed?

                You asked what word better describes the situation - I had called you out for referring to it as a "scandal", and told you it was, for you, an obsession.

                Question answered.

                Your "two points" are simply your own opinions.

                  Point one consists of two parts: 1) That the intelligence was made available to Trump on or before February 27th 2) That after February 27th Trump publicly asked Russia to be readmitted to the G7. At least one of those must be opinion and not a statement of fact. Which one(s)?

                    That may or may not be true, and you keep ignoring (even though you posted it thinking it helped your case) "with medium confidence" and "falling short of near certainty".

                    THEN, based on that, you go off on Nutty Boulevard...

                    2) That after February 27th Trump publicly asked Russia to be readmitted to the G7.
                    So? In your weird little world, this is supposed to be - what - a "reward" for the alleged "bounty"? That's just nutty.

                    At least one of those must be opinion and not a statement of fact. Which one(s)?
                    It's you in your OBSESSION trying to build a case that the whole rest of the world seems to have abandoned.

                      Pelosi confirmed that the intelligence was in the PDB.

                      And yes, it fell short of near certainty. You know what else fell short of near certainty? OBL's compound.

                      I never said Trump rewarded Putin for offering the bounties. I said that Trump rewarded Putin *after* the bounties were offered. Two very different things.

                      Rewarding a country who encourages murder upon Americans is a betrayal in the extreme. Just like when SA is rewarded for the same.


                      It's you in your OBSESSION trying to build a case that the whole rest of the world seems to have abandoned.
                      This statement is false and incoherent.

                          • As laid out here Ratfink is dishonestly representing the Russian bounty intelligence.


                            And that narrative would basically be a form of propaganda that would make Soviets blush. That’s because the gaps and discrepancies within the underlying intelligence — if accurately reported, including those contained in the SOCM — are basically an everyday occurrence when it comes to the process of analyzing sensitive intelligence on important national security topics and presenting policymakers with the information they need to make decisions and pursue courses of action. In other words, the characterizations above could be, in a narrow sense, accurate; but the takeaways that the White House intends to draw and disseminate from them could still be wildly misleading.


                            Much more in that in depth article. Funny how both CP and MM fell for Ratfink's spin.

                              Yeah, that's called a cartoon, buddy -- not news. No wonder you're confused.

                              Plus, you already tried that in post... 554 or something.
