We're talking about a fricking tweet. Calm your tits.

If the Obama administration IC tapped phones within the Trump apparatus based on a flimsy, amd now debunked russian collusion claim stoked by butt hurt democrats with eyes on the white house, the tweet stands. Comey didn't nothing to disprove that.

There is more evidence of HRC colluding with russians than trump. Don't kid yourself. This was political.

That's not an excuse. If he's going to make accusations, and can't fit it into 160 characters to accurately communicate it, then use a different form of communication.

Well I don't think that's all Manafort is being investigated for.

Given that I'm pretty much opposed to his trade, immigration and defense policies, I'm hoping he doesn't 'accomplish' much of anything.


I'll give you trade as I have mixed feelings about it and I'm watching with a keen eye the debate of free trade vs protectionism but his immigration and defense policies are pretty good.

After the complete chaos and lawless anarchy that the Obama administration promoted with illegal immigration, a strong message needs to be sent that will not be tolerated ever again and democrats are an abomination for allowing that to happen. And besides, Trump understands that demographics is destiny and the future and we have to control that destiny and future before it eats us alive. 2nd generation muslims are the problem in Europe and enabling the 3rd wave.

His defense policies pretty much mirror that of Reagan with it moderated towards a much more keen eye on our financial obligations in foreign organizations and treaty alliances. Nothing wrong with that.

Couple of questions:

(1) Do you differentiate between legal & ILLEGAL immigration?

(2) Do you believe that America has the right to implement and enforce laws against ILLEGAL immigration?


Yes and yes. But I believe that we can only get out of the situation we're in with comprehensive reform and a clear understanding of the drivers, not via populist bullshite and boondoggle wall projects.

I already explained how the tweet stands based on what we already know. You are asking for nauseating specificity on a medium that demands economy. But it really doesn't matter what trump tweets, says, or does.

Liberals have made it clear that their method is 100% opposition and their goal is impeachment. You know it, and I know it.

The day you have to make that distinction is the day you should look up and say "How did it come to this?"

Besides...for the purposes of collusion the distinction is meaningless. His Presidency would be over in the highly unlikely event that such a thing were proven.

Fair enough. But, a couple of observations:

(1) Comprehensive reform - Everytime I hear that, it sounds like a euphemism for blanket amnesty. Even if you make them jump thru a couple of hoops, theyre all still staying. At a minimum, don't the criminals need to be sent packing?

(2) Under Trump, illegal immigration is down 61% ALREADY. Anybody want to argue that's not because of the new sheriff in town?

Then it's inexcusable to make serious accusations over Twitter, if it requires more than 160 characters. You can't use the "well the medium limits him" as an excuse when he has the most power and access of anybody to other methods.

So then if his accusation is about those that are not him, then he could have clarified that, BUT he didn't.

So maybe you're the one who is ignoring the specificity, and rationalizing it after the fact since Trump never clarified it when given the opportunity. And you have the nerve to argue that we're playing semantics, when that's exactly what you're doing, with no support for it.

So is the FBI investigating Trump or Trump associates?

Based on what we know about Manafort, Page and Flynn, I would hope someone would be digging a little deeper. Not to mention Trump's financial ties through the years to prominent Russians...


I would hope someone would dig deeper & investigate Hillary's financial ties to Russia through her years as secretary of state. I mean, Russia got the uranium deal under her reign... where was/is the outrage!?

OK. And if and when, someone in his administration or campaign, even unbeknownst to Trump, does something illegal, I guess I have no other choice than to include Trump in that.


No, but you will. And that's his point.

Do you honestly think these people would be under investigation if it weren't for their Trump connection, not their Russian connection?

We know there is an investigation of Trump Associates, and likely Trump himself and it has gone on for months. HOW do you do that without eavesdropping? Can't in this case.

Comey has some more splaining to do.
