I’m not part of the hate Russia crowd and was he overthrown by insiders Corporatists Globalists who serve Saudi and or Chinese interests (they have the $$$$$) with Russia defined as an enemy.

Russia put a roadblock in the Saudi backed effort to overthrow Syria’s government so the Gulf Arab energy resources could be piped into Europe at the expense of Russia energy exports there.

We are in agreement more than we disagree.In fact we disagree, on nothing of substance, if we disagree at all. I hope I am wrong, but I do not think that the Left [Communists] will allow us to live in peace without a fight unless we submit to being killed by them.There was an old saying, How does one tell the difference between a Communists and a Socialists? The answer was, A socialists is a Communist without a gun.For now. History tells how many people that the Communists have murdered to impose their will.They can be defeated, but they have to be fought.

Trump can be down 70% and not driven from office. If left tries to take him out, there will be a civil war. They can’t be that obvious and they know it.

I think they want to wound him so they can bypass the tax cuts and Obamacare repeal. I know Trump trusts Reince but I don’t. I think he, Ryan, and GOPe want to stop this madness before they lose all their donor cash. And Ryan’s such an imbecile he still thinks he’ll be President 2020. Like Hillary, he’ll have to lose multiple times big league before the party will finally give up on him.

this is just weird. every news organization on the planet is running this story, and you refuse to believe it because CNN is running it, too.

just . . . creepy.

It's actually a good thing. There is zero profit in paying attention to anything the Lying #FakeStreamMedia is putting out there.

Sounds like Nifster has got his mind right.

I myself am putting the whys and the wherefores on "ignore", until some later date, if I bother with it at all.

You realize that we're in a Total War with these people, don't you?

There's ALL SORTS of things going on in the enemy camp.

Sedition, plotting of coups, deliberate manipulation of the "news", etc., etc.

It hurts to realize the truth, the government of the USA is 20 trillion dollars in the hole and our ‘leaders’ in Congress are planning up to 15 trillion dollars more.

Our businesses and government rely on other countries wealth to keep going as in China and Gulf Arabs.

The British Empire lost its wealth over two world wars and became dependent on the USA to stay afloat.

This nation’s dependence on other nation’s wealth appears to be a factor in the anti-Russian policies of recent years period.

“This nation’s dependence on other nation’s wealth appears to be a factor in the anti-Russian policies of recent years period.”

Appears to be? This nation’s government has been bought and paid for by Saudi Arabia. And then someone showed up who didn’t need or want their money. And all Hell is breaking loose because of it.

From my reconnaissance of Twitter, I think sport has got the right of it.

We don't want a fight, but the loudmouth Lefties won't let us live in peace.

They think their Precious Government will do the killing for them - and that we'll submit to it, "because Rule of Law".

Oh, do I have some bad news for them... :)

Did you ever stop to consider that perhaps Trump was angry with him over his presumptive actions, his self-aggrandizement, his lying and his self-serving disloyalty, and so asked for, received and accepted his resignation?

I very much doubt that. The man is a lifelong Democrat. And apparently deeply into self-promotion and his own sense of power. You can those just about anywhere.

perish the thought. how dare you calmly exercise a little common sense.

we’re losing our sh*t, dammit, and you’re screwing all that up! now, you’d better blame the Saudis or mike pence ASAP, or someone is going to call you a miserable RINO unipartier.

you’ve got to get with the program.
