[dontreadthis]

One of the most egregious aspects of the media’s coverage of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is its refusal to report on the efforts of the DNC and Ukraine to get Hillary Clinton elected President.

Watchdog group Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust (FACT) agrees, and have filed a complaint with the FEC over the alleged collusion between the DNC and Ukraine.

Doing something because our completely inept and pathetic RINO party will not. Has it ever occurred to anyone that the reason this party posing as tbe Republocan party will not repeal and replace the terrorist act Obamacare is solely because they want to harm Trump? I know 5 people including myself who lost their health insurance because of that act of terror, actually make that 6 as I met a woman yesterday who lost hers as they raised her rates 3 fold. How many people have died already because of that? How many are dead because they no longer had pre-cancer screenings or had a disease that wasn’t detected because they couldn’t afford It? And this party thinks its one huge joke. People like McCain getting 1st class treatment while he gives the middle finger to the rest of us

[Truth29]

Agree with your rant except I wouldn’t call them inept. They are collaborators. They are one wing of the Potemkin Village Uniparty that gives the illusion of free elections, but are actually united against the patriotic citizenry.

"One of the most egregious aspects of the media’s coverage of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is its refusal to report on the efforts of the DNC and Ukraine to get Hillary Clinton elected President."

Why in hell would the Ukraine want Hillary, or ANY demonRat for that matter, as US president, when it was they who helped strengthen the Russians, via Hillary's handing them 20% of our uranium production AND Obama's traitorous deals with Putin on missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin loves so much. It was also they who practically dismantled OUR military. The last thing that KGB/FSB Putin wants or needs at this time of Russian expansion and aggression is a strong US military.

Yes. The US is no longer a Constitutional Republic even though it plays one on TV. It is an oligarchy unless we the people rise up and stop it.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time'

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY SHOW (NBC)

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Obama To Betray Missile Defense Secrets To Moscow

Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 9, 2012 | IBD staff

Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.

It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.

He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 - linchpin of our missile defense - might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.

Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.

The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."

"In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as 'non-binding' and that 'my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president's constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.'

Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.

Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we've deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.

Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy's Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.

The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the "early intercept" phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3's secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.

The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan's dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.

Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

March 2012...

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration.

Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."

Mike Pence on Putin and Russia:

(from the VP debate on Oct 5, 2016)

“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.”

____________________________________

And...

PENCE: What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.

And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.

And all the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore.

To answer your question, we just need American strength. We need to — we need to marshal the resources of our allies in the region, and in the immediate, we need to act and act now to get people out of harm’s way.

Trump’s U.N. Envoy, Nikki Haley, Condemns Russia’s ‘Aggressive Actions’ in Ukraine

By SOMINI SENGUPTA
Feb 2, 2017

UNITED NATIONS — Nikki R. Haley, the new American ambassador to the United Nations, condemned Russia on Thursday for its recent “aggressive actions” in eastern Ukraine.

“We do want to better our relations with Russia,” Ms. Haley said during her first remarks to an open briefing of the United Nations Security Council. “However, the dire situation in eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of Russian actions.”

She made it clear that American sanctions imposed after Russia’s annexation of Crimea would remain in place.

During her Senate confirmation hearing last month, Ms. Haley also expressed support for continuing the sanctions and accused Russia of committing war crimes in the Syrian conflict. But her strong criticism of the government of President Vladimir V. Putin put her at odds with President Trump, who has expressed a desire for warmer relations with the Kremlin. ...’

Hilary was the globalist hope to use Ukraine as yet another proxy war of US and EU vs Russia and a lucrative market for US weapons and future energy and pipeline projects - Ukraine would look like Sryria if Hillary was elected, with hundreds of thousands dead or displaced and the US errr
NATO in the imiddle of it

Joe Bidens incompetent son Hunter was and is in the payroll of a Ukraine “ energy development” company - Joe Biden made his last official taxpayer paid trip to Ukraine in his last week in office

Fact is, it was the *democrats* who substantially strengthened Putin’s hand, as they (the democrats) nearly took apart *our own* defenses. Russia is in the process of basically reforming the Soviet Union, and then-some when you include positions in the strategic Middle East.

They (the dems) are notoriously weak on defense, in complete contrast to Trump-Pence who have pledged a major military rebuilding. Despite all the smoke and mirror BS, there is no sane reason on earth for the Ukraine to have preferred a democrat administration vs a republican/Trump-Pence one as they are being seriously threatened by Russia. Likewise, Russia preferring Trump over Hillary.

[exit82]

From the article:

“The conservative group Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust (FACT), launched in 2014 by former U.S. attorney Matthew Whitaker, will allege that political operative Alexandra Chalupa, in her capacity as a DNC consultant, improperly sought intelligence on President Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, from Ukrainian officials.

“Federal law and Commission regulations prohibit any person from knowingly soliciting, accepting or receiving contributions or donations of money or other things of value from a foreign national,” the complaint reads.

FACT alleges that Chalupa violated the ban by “knowingly soliciting” a “valuable in-kind contribution in the form of opposition research and information on a Trump campaign official from a foreign national on behalf of the Democratic National Committee.”

The complaint is based on an investigation by Politico, which found that Chalupa “met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia.”

IT’S ABOUT TIME!! DC swampthings and their globalist enablers are still trying to sell us that regime change in Kiev wasn’t because of US meddling. It’s one of the WORST things US foreign policy has ever done.

[RFEngineer]

I am sorry you have had to experience the full unconstitutional consequences of obamacare.

You will get only muted sympathy on this board. The government already pays the freight for most folks here. Like congress, far too many don’t want to rock the boat by repealing Obama care and risk their own insurance. They are OK with screwing people like you as long as it means they keep theirs.

That is the real reason there will be no repeal without catastrophy.

Good luck. You are on your own.

[SeeSharp]

It was the American Democratic Party that encouraged, subsidized, and coached the Ukrainian left to overthrow both Kuchma and Yanokovich. They are involved in Ukraine up to their eyeballs and have been for a couple of decades. FYI Dick Morris was over there for a while. The present Ukrainian disaster is a just another Democrat foreign policy disaster - one of so many I lose count.

[Jim Noble]

That’s not why they won’t repeal Obamacare - they won’t do that because they can’t.

But you are right - the GOP in Congress is allied with the Democrats in moving the pieces around so that Trump can be removed. The Democrats can be open in their support of removal, the Republicans like Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) need the cover of the results of a phony “investigation” to allow them to conclude, “with a heavy heart”, that Trump has to go.

But unless Trump has a political counter to the bipartisan decision to remove him - or unless he’s willing to use force to drain the swamp (which I do not rule out) - he’s a goner

[silverleaf]

There was no “ democrat” or “ republican” strategic choice
The choice was “ globalism” ( which is a uniparty) vs “ nationalism” ( Trump and 63 million MAGA voters)
Putin is not in favor with the globalists - in fact is a primary target
Having Hillary in the WH would have meant having a weak, sick, corrupt, incompetent and totally compromised woman controlled by Soros and globalism - which is dedicated to the economic and social / moral destruction of the USA
Sure Russia would had leverage ( ie blackmail) over Hillary with her vile greedy immoral persona and extensive political corruption
i have no idea whether the Russians had the gut instinct we did about polling fakery and voter fraud as the intended means for the globalists to install the Hut in the WH
Meanwhile China Saudi Arabia and Pakistan all sit on their haunches and remain under the radar of collusion investigation for activities they engaged in to affect our elections - all of them far greater threats to America than “ Russia”

[Chewbarkah]

As SoS, Hillary promoted efforts by pro-Western and nationalist Ukrainian factions to oust its pro-Russian corrupt government in an illegal coup and install a corrupt anti-Russian government, with the goal of integrating Ukraine into Europe’s economy and security structure. She channeled US funds through “NGOs” to support “democracy” (i.e., organizing a mob uprising). Predictable results: civil war, partition of Ukraine, thousands of casualties, economic devastation. IOW, the standard Hillary accomplishments, just like in Syria and Libya.

Manafort has been paid (a lot) as a “consultant” of the Ukrainian faction (the legally elected one) Hillary and the Swamp don’t favor.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine loves Hillary. They understand corruption and are just buying influence.

[t4texas]

Good to see the hits are beginning to roll in. However, it’s still small potatoes considering the bigger stuff still out there. Especially the crap associated with preacher woman. Time to move up the food chain and make 2018 a truly great year.

[Morpheus2009]

Of course it is a joke. Out leftist politicians supported Ukrainian Nazis. You know, those liberals day how evil Nazis are, yet they support these same racist anti-Semites just to try getting at Putin.
