I just checked 'The Five' today to see what spin they were using. It occurred to me how wrong awful and hypocritical Dana PeRINO really is. She critiques every word out of the WH communications office and has a nasty superior opinion of how things should-how-been-done. She really damages the WH every day and then mentions that Pres Bush kept his mouth shut about Obama. Grrrr, I have to cool off...
But that’s exactly it. The whole Russia thing is innuendo. It is starting to sound like a cliche, but if the Hillary camp is making an accusation you could probably take it to the bank that what they accuse others of doing is the very thing they are doing themselves.
The Trump/Russia thing never made any sense. Are we supposed to believe that Donald Trump, a man who’s been in the public eye for more than four decades, somehow is or was a Russian stooge? What a great cover - he disguised himself as a billionaire so nobody would think he’s a communist? I know Russia isn’t communist anymore but it was when he was making his billions. And Putin? He was a high ranking KGB intelligence officer. He has run Russia for decades - sometimes from behind the scenes but always lurking. Are we to believe that he needed Trump to tell him whom to hack? The whole thing makes no sense.
Now there is some irony here. Seems to me the main accusation is that Russia spread anti-Hillary propaganda in the media and through websites and blogs. The irony being, he used our First Amendment against us. But even this allegation is hard to beleive. Hillary claims “1000 Russian Agents” - ludicrous. They would have to be the least productive people in the word. What did they work in teams of 50 each producing 1 new idea every 30 days? As you ask, what exactly did they do? There are some allegations they tried to hack some voting machines. I don’t know either way but I have been opposed to those machines for this very reason. Not Russians per se, but anyone. Whomever counts the votes controls the outcome.
It is a lot more plausible to believe that the DNC had a leaker instead of a hacker. I don’t know all the details but there is plenty of murky stuff out there. The whole Awan brothers issue is bizarre and I only know a tiny bit of that story.
Now the Trump+Russia smoke has been blowing for a year and there is not a shred of evidence of any collusion. And in all likelihood collusion in and of itself is not even a crime. So I ask myself, why are they blowing so much smoke? I gotta think perhaps it is because smoke obscures the eyes. Obviously I don’t know for sure but I refer you back to the first paragraph in this post. What are Hillary’s and the DNC’s connection to Russia? They found nothing on Trump. But on Hillary there is a lot of stuff. We know that a Russian oligarch is the single largest donor to the Clinton Foundation. This same person also received Hillary’s approval to take over Uranium One. We know he paid Bill Clinton personally $500,000 to give a speech. And we know Hillary was instrumental in luring many American tech companies to transfer technology to a Russian technolgy park called Skolvoko which the FBI later said was just an elaborate industrial espionage scheme. And ever single one of those tech firms were also donors to the Clinton Foundation.
Going one step further, I see Hillary was outmaneuvered by Putin many times. She failed twice to “reset” relations. She got lured into the Skolvoko scam. She signed off on the Uranium One deal. And if that wasn’t enough, she was completely blindsided by the Syrian’s inviting Russian forces in to help protect Assad’s regime. I am still amazed that the American people and the media did not run her out of Washington for raising billions in private money into a fund she controls while serving as Secretary of State. The appearance of impropriety is astonishing and yet it was practically ignored. And Hillary was probably so busy raising money to fund her future lavish living, and then plotting her path to the White House, that she simply did not forsee that Russia would walk right into Syria under the Obama admin’s nose. And this is being generous. Either they were asleep, or they were complicit. Either way it is scandalous and disqualifying for a candidate for POTUS. Assuming she was embarassed by the whole thing, she then doubled down on stupid by campaigning that we engage in open hostility with Russia by instituting a no-fly zone over Syria.
So Trump simply said “why can’t we try to have better relations with Russia? Why this hostility?” and the Clinton team used that totally reasonable question - which is the exact same idea Clinton herself tried to promote during Obama’s first term - as an excuse to claim Trump must be in bed with Putin because he doesn’t want to go to war with them.
“A doctor friend thinks his mind may have been damaged by the torture he received in the Hanoi Hilton.”
Could be.
Also, crashing a jet fighter plane in a rice paddy and then getting beat up by angry locals doesn’t help the brain pan to protect the brain.
However, McCain has a history or weird behavior from the Naval academy, to crashing planes trying to be a pilot and weird behavior after Nam.
I have 3 friends, who were either before, in or after McCain’s Naval Academy class. They knew McCain in the academy and have followed his erratic behavior since then.
All 3 refused to support McCain, when he supposedly ran for president. Then, they would not say anything.
Now, they say, if not for his father, an Admiral, McCain was not smart enough to get into the academy nor stay there. One of these friends said that any other Navy Pilot would have been washed out of flight school with his poor skills.
All 3 condemned his post Nam behavior as an out of control drunk.
His behavior confirms that he is severly brain damaged.
Those of us, who seen loved ones and friends suffer from senility or alzheimer’s, recognize the symptons, he shows.
If he was a conservative republican instead of a paid tool for the rats, the mediots would be publishing tons of data to remove him as a senator.
McCain as a hotdogging Navy pilot lost five planes—a reverse ace of the Vietnam Era.
The irony was that McCain had a very salient point about Comey’s inconsistent approach to situations and McCain stepped all over it.
In any event, it it past time for this clown to retire.
IMO, he’s a Manchurian Candidate.
Highly unlikely, he was reelected last November.
Yes and BZ is on Roku.
Thank you.
Cumulative head injuries seem to have a connection to later in life brain issues.
We know a young man the age of our sons, 50 something. He played baseball with them, later was a great football player and an excellent wrestler.
He played pro football and suffers from severe brain issues, and has been diagnosed with dementia and probable alzeheimers.
So McCain may be one of the severely brain injured guys.
That does not entitle him to be a severely mentally damaged $inator. Who can be manipulated into sedition/treason.
He helped to destroy this country by electing Obama; e.g., “I’m suspending my campaign.”
Yep......he has definitely past his sell-by date.
