Just heard the very strange news that Trump chose Russia when asked who is most likely telling the truth about hacking of USA elections and et cetera. I guess that means that Trump believes a foreign leader rather than his own intelligence services.

It's a first to see the president of a country denigrate his own country.

I wish this were the case but unfortunately in today's America, people's hatred of brown people and gay people and longing to return to a past that never existed "Trumps" human decency and loyalty to the USA. Most people will excuse anything Trump does as long as he continues to play to their anger and fear.

Newt who used the term Deep State over and over again is complaining ? Oh if Oboma had said the same thing they would advocate his execution.

Right-wing authoritarians are people who have a high degree of willingness to submit to authorities they perceive as established and legitimate, who adhere to societal conventions and norms, and who are hostile and punitive in their attitudes towards people who don't adhere to them. They value uniformity and are in favour of using group authority, including coercion, to achieve it.
Right-wing authoritarians want society and social interactions structured in ways that increase uniformity and minimize diversity. In order to achieve that, they tend to be in favour of social control, coercion, and the use of group authority to place constraints on the behaviours of people such as political dissidents and ethnic minorities. These constraints might include restrictions on immigration, limits on free speech and association and laws regulating moral behaviour. It is the willingness to support or take action that leads to increased social uniformity that makes right-wing authoritarianism more than just a personal distaste for difference. Right-wing authoritarianism is characterized by obedience to authority, moral absolutism, racial and ethnic prejudice, and intolerance and punitiveness towards dissidents and deviants.

They're Trumplings before they're Americans.

It’s just different. I’m sure there are pluses and minuses.

Here's a bonus note in case you are not aware...

Team Manafort also worked in John McCain's camp when he ran for president in 2008. In other words, this stuff goes beyond Trump.


In other words, you are starting to realize something is wrong, and that Trump is not behaving normally with regards to Russia, and you wish to sling mud on others as well to try and spread blame around .

I know, work and taking care of themselves and a family is scary for liberals. I understand why they feel the way they do. Hillary would have sold the entire country out by now and every and liberal would have their **** sandwiches making them content and happy.

Personal responsibility is verrryyy scarrryy.. leading and standing up for yourself is very scarryy.

I have yet to hear how the Russians caused anyone to pull a lever for Trump when they really wanted Hillary.



Russian collusion = Democrat excuse for losing the American public.
