Gore honorable? BHAAAAAA!!! "I Invented the Internet" don't get me started on the lying pos.
And still..he turned it in.
Yet you continue to blather on with right-wing talking points about Gore that we all know were debunked years ago. But just in case you haven't read the facts yet, as Trump supporters are known for, here you go from FactChecker:
Quote:
“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.”
He does not say he “invented” the Internet, but he does say something about “creating” it, in the kind of awkward phrasing Gore was known for. But because the sentence was surrounded by a lot of unrelated political blather, it was largely unnoticed. CNN certainly did not highlight it in its coverage of the interview.
Then a writer for Wired, Declan McCullagh, spotted Gore’s statement and poked fun at it, under headline, “No Credit Where It’s Due.” He noted that the technical basis for the Internet, specifically the Internet working protocols, existed long before Gore entered Congress. More than a year later, in an article titled “The Mother of Gore’s Invention,” McCullagh acknowledged: “My article never used the word ‘invented,’ but it didn’t take long for Gore’s claim to morph into something he never intended. The terrible irony in this exchange is that while Gore certainly didn’t create the Internet, he was one of the first politicians to realize that those bearded, bespectacled researchers were busy crafting something that could, just maybe, become pretty important.”
But to be fair to Gore, his statement referenced what he had done in Congress. The Internet was the commercialization of the work done at DOD, and by most accounts, Gore’s efforts had some impact. He was the prime sponsor of the 1991 High-Performance Computing and Communications Act, generally known as the Gore bill, which allocated $600 million for high-performance computing. Gore, who waged a two-year battle to get the bill passed, popularized the term “the Information Superhighway.”
The Gore legislation helped fund the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, where the Mosaic Web browser was first developed by a team of programmers that included Netscape founder Marc Andreessen. While it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint the impact of federal funding, Andreessen said Gore’s bill made a difference during a 2000 interview with the Industry Standard: “If it had been left to private industry, it wouldn’t have happened, at least, not until years later.”
You may notice that Hillary Clinton is not in trouble for attempting to get dirt on Trump from a foreign entity (Steele dossier - UK). I believe trying to get dirt on your opponent is not illegal. It's the government's use of it that's where the Trump campaign has a legit complaint.
again, what federal law says you have to report it? ....is kinda hard to take the DNC emails hacking seriously when the DNC didn't want the FBI to investigate their servers and get to the bottom of the hacking....'til this day NOBODY in government has provided any evidence that the Russians did it. Wikileaks have been on the record saying it wasn't the Russians and they have a better track record of telling the truth than our heads in our intel agencies.
That's a very valid point, but, the intelligence community is united in it's statement that the Russian's did indeed interfere in our election. Dan Coats said that the "red lights are flashing." Hillary is gone. She has nothing to do with running our country. Trump does and there are serious questions that need to be answered. Cohen is now ready to testify that Trump knew about the 2016 meeting and that other people were also aware. Does he have a tape among the one hundred or so recordings? Is he credible because now he's willing to save his own hide at other's expense? We don't know the answers....yet. Wikileaks? You might as well believe the Enquirer.
You seem unwilling to accept that Trump and Jr. may very well have conspired with a foreign geopolitical adversary to get help winning the election. Why? Why is one man more important then our country? Why were so many Oligarchs at Trump's inaugural parties? Do you find that unusual in any way? Then we have the Felix Sater email to Cohen " Our boy can become president and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this, I will manage this process." We have Don Jr's "I love it" email about the Trump tower meeting. Did Hope Hicks testify to Mueller that Trump did indeed write the narrative that it was about Russian adoptions? Did Mark Corallo really resign because he thought he had witnessed obstruction of justice aboard air force one when Trump "weighed in" (Sanders spin) on Trump dictating a response for Don Jr? Did Mueller interview him? Why was Trump so involved with Russian oligarchs and how much money does he owe to them? What are Trump's ties to the American mafia? Where is Flynn's story? There are so many questions here that are bigger and more important then one man.
One lie leads to another and another...... Someday we will know the truth but until then, innocent until proven guilty. I have to admit though that there is way too much smoke and not enough honest answers from the liar and chief.
Yet you continue to blather on with right-wing talking points about Gore that we all know were debunked years ago. But just in case you haven't read the facts yet, as Trump supporters are known for, here you go from FactChecker:
I could care less if Gore turned in the "stolen" debate prep book for W Bush....have you seen W Bush debate? he didn't need a prep book...he needed an English teacher to put proper sentences together..lol
you wanted Trump JR. to return to Podesta the stolen emails when he never received them and everybody in the world published it and the world already knew?
I judge Gore by his political career as a Senator and part of the Bubba administration and honorable he wasn't...he was a political weasal and a political opportunist.
Al Gore, while a senator from Tennessee, made his decision to support sending 500,000 American troops to the Persian Gulf to oppose Saddam Hussein based solely on the amount of speaking time he would receive on national TV. This has been confirmed by several U.S. Senators.
Wait a minute...Stop the presses...You mean it was not about adoption after all?
Well, why didn't you say that in the first place Cadet Bone Spurs? This changes everything...
And the Clinton Crime Family PAYING Russian Spies for a fake dossier is A OK? Making sure we get this straight here...don't want some hypocrisy going around now.

What does Hillary Clinton, who is not in The Oval Office btw, have to do with Trump's Russkie ties?
Quote:
Mueller’s investigation is focused not on “collusion” but on allegations of conspiracy and related criminal offenses. When it comes to potential criminal violations, the preparation of the dossier has almost nothing in common with the allegations surrounding the Trump campaign. Claims to the contrary are simply a smokescreen. https://sidebarsblog.com/trump-clint...e-comparisons/

Well
1. There are no Russian ties,even if there were BIG DEAL he's a businessman he is likely to have ties to TONS of countries
2. The Clinton Crime Family did the SAME THING with the fake dossier but they PAID for fake evidence against their opponent.
But, but, but........Clinton! (Is a lame attempt to deflect. )
