wrong...fascism is socialism lite...its left wing

""Fascism is a system in which the government leaves nominal ownership of the means of production in the hands of private individuals but exercises control by means of regulatory legislation and reaps most of the profit by means of heavy taxation. In effect, fascism is simply a more subtle form of government ownership than is socialism."" Mussolini
hmm high taxes...super control (authoritarian) by regulations...sounds like the American liberals to anyone with common sense

Marxism(communism),socialism, fascism, Nazi-ism...all from the progressive movement

"A Marxist/progressive/Fascist/Liberal begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of socialism, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism."

difi...knew there was noting, that's why she released the document.
not really sure what you are trying to say?


but i think you are trying to say that the left expected to find "bombs" that would sink trump. If so please link to those news stories or indeed the many posters who were claiming the transcripts had trump bombs???


Feinstein released the doc to kill Grassley's lies. It really is that simple. Nunes, Grassley, Trey, graham were all trying to spin a big fat lie and Feinstein killed it dead!

I know , I know you want to pretend this is about something else. but it is not. THe transcripts show FUSION and Steele are not tainted, and you guys very much wanted to taint the case by stinking up what you thought was the source.

so i am delighted to say, sorry mate but the taint did not stick, you tried, in fact you guys tried so very very hard, and yet still it did not work. so pick you next target soon so we can work through all of them .. maybe donald duck did it, and not donald trump...? try floating that for a while...

Grassley tried to cover up the Fusion transcripts because it makes the dossier look good and Trump bad. Now Trump is mad at "sneaky" Sen. Feinstein for letting the public see the truth.

Grassley made a huge error. The Fusion transcripts strongly defend the veracity of the dossier. By covering it up, Grassley made it look like the dossier and the transcripts must be true, because if they were false then he wouldn't bother to conceal them. You only hide the truth when you are worried the truth will hurt you.

Trump's "no collusion" alibi is falling apart at the seams.
I found it most interesting that the FBI was messing in the Trump campaign. Is that legal? Nixon had to resign because the Democrats were compromised. I find the FBI talking to a possible plant in the Trump camp problematic. Doesn't anyone else think this strange? How about the attempt to wiretap the Trump campaign I have been hearing about? Yes that swamp needs some motor oil cleansing.

Nothing in the transcripts provides any proof that anything in dossier is true beyond what was already public knowledge.

All this does is kill the judiciary committee's investigation as far calling more witnesses. Which isn't where the real action is anyways.
Nope. They wanted the opportunity to review the transcript for accuracy prior to it being released. They did that and then said they wanted it released. It was Grassley playing politics who didn't want it out there so he could mislead and dissemble about the contents to try to make Trump look better.

I think you got that the opposite of what was really happening. How about the airplane meeting. Should government agencies really be trying to help the reigning party win? Crooked democrats is what you should have said. Funny that the leak trying to hurt Trump really shows who the real crooks are.

"...Steele's expertise on Russia remained valued, and he served as a senior officer under John Scarlett, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), from 2004 to 2009.[15] Steele was selected as case officer for Alexander Litvinenko and participated in the investigation of the Litvinenko poisoning in 2006.[9] It was Steele who quickly realised that Litvinenko's death "was a Russian state 'hit'"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele
Yet Grassley and Graham wanted to refer Steele to the Justice Dept for criminal investigation because he may have gotten some dates mixed up, skipping over the part that a NON-US citizen was concerned enough with the security of the US due to Trump's connections to Russia to alert the FBI to the the whole issue.

And now it is verified that the dossier was not what prompted the FBI to begin an investigation. The Trump supporter's narrative of a "phony dossier cooked up by the Democrats" and "witch hunt" is falling apart quickly as many of the pieces of the puzzle that reported in the past year from "unmanned" sources are being confirmed and connected left and right.
