Is this a Godfather reference?
It's fucking bizarre that only 4 partial sentences have been released from the report and one of them specifically says it doesn't exonerate him.
Also the whole collusion thing is a fake word trap that doesn't mean anything. Collusion isn't even illegal it's all the stuff around it. Collusion is literally being ranked as the least important thing about Trump that voters are concerned about.
Anyhoo his polls didn't go up after this theater so it seems everyone is switched off one way or another at this point, which still feels kind of dangerous.
All these government investigations are the same. What the public ends up getting is the redacted version. National security is always used as the reason or excuse.
I'd say an old man with clear and obvious neurological damage in charge of "National Security" is the REAL national security risk. :headlights:.Quote:

Reagan was in the early stages of alzheimers during his presidency and was really not in control while he had crooks like Bush running things. Bush was a crook. Clinton was a corrupt horndog and tied with Bush. George W was a warmongering draft dodger who let neocon crooks run rough shod. Obama was another shady character. Like George W he was a mascot while others ran the White House behind the scenes. Trump is a windbag. He runs his mouth off and brags but when you look at his accomplishments it's a nothing burger. We are still deployed in the Middle East and Afganistahn and we still have troops in Syria. He's brought mad hatter neocons like Bolton into his white house. He has Israel's hand firmly planted up his ass.Quote:

At least he hasn't nuked any sancturary cities yet or made lampshades out of people detained at the border.
I'm not comfortable with a man who clearly shows signs of brain damage having any sort of access to nuclear weapons. I'm no fan of Mike Pence either, but as far as I know, his brain still physically works. Of course he might believe Jesus is telling him to nuke somebody, but at least a preacher might be able to point out the scriptural errors in that way of thinking to him.
Cheeto is medically unfit for office. Invoke the 25th amendment, and let him hire some nurses to care for him at Moron-A-Lago for whatever remains of his life.
I think we have had a few brain damaged presidents. I don't know if Pence would be any better. He might start Armegeddon to speed up the second coming of Christ. So we have a braggart with bad hair but we could have gotten a psychopath who lies about her heath and falls down all the time. We have a religious zealot on call if something happens to big mouth and if all of those options fail we have the wicked witch of the east in the House of Representatives. I think Hillary will pop up the last minute. She will throw Bernie under the bus again and it will be 2016 all over again but Trump and Hillary will be older and crazier. Putin will be probing us to see if Russia can take us out with a first volley of nukes to end the madness.Quote:

Jellyfish Pelosi is from San Francisco, so wouldn't she be the Wicked Witch of the West?
All the tired old "commie" jokes about Bernie won't change the fact that your Orange Messiah doesn't have a functional brain, and is a legitimate threat to the safety of this country every minute he remains in office.
She grew up in Baltimore. Depends on how far you go back.Quote:

They have been pretty much reduced to being a mascot. I don't think any president could start World War III because our military does not trust presidents. Oh they will follow orders to a point and play the game in order to not jeopardize the republic but as far as nuclear attacks go the president better damn well have a good reason.Quote:

Another reality is it doesn't matter who you put in the oval office. They aren't fixing shit. The government is too big and corrupt to do much. So I just find myself in the George Carlin mindset realizing all things come to an end and I might as well just enjoy watching it all burn because I can't do diddly shit about it.
Ah well the Chinese and Russians have troops in Venezuela. Russia has nuclear bombers stationed there. We are on the edge of having our huge credit bubble pop if the markets get spooked and the country is divided and hate is in the air. All I can say is.....

Schiff summarized the undisputed FACTS not even going into the conjecture or the stuff in the report.

What they do have is the unique ability or instincts to put the right people together, motivate and empower them, that end up accomplishing big things. There's thousands of people who study and sell the "secrets" of great leadership... no one has tapped a recipe that can work in all cases, but there are some common traits they lend to it. Mostly it's a gut or instinctual talent that propels folks like Trump to preside over things that end up being successful...
Too be honest with you. The problems we have such as out of control spending (which Trump is part of the problem) isn't going to be solved by any of these people in office. The US has been coasting on it's past reputation for a very long time and frankly I think we are in a nose dive impossible to pull out of. What will happen is the spending will continue running past $30 trillion in debt. Something will cause the next market crash and panic will ensue. People will run to the US Dollar as they always do. There isn't another better currency. Then what? This time not only corporations and banks will want a bailout. States and cities will too. Of course The Fed can make all the money it wants on a computer. They just charge it to the US Government' tab adding to the debt. It's La La Land. That's what politics is right now. La La Land. Eisenhower once said you have to be nuts to want the presidency. That's back when the US was on more stable footing. You would have to be really nuts to want the presidency today. Washington is full of sociopaths and narcissists. Yeah we could get rid of Trump but he will just be replaced with another narcissist or sociopath. Arguing politics right now it like arguing which lunatic out of the asylum you want to be in charge and run things.Quote:

They were referred to Bill because the guy they wanted to see couldn't be reached. Of course Bill had nothing but he saw the opportunity and agreed to sell IBM an operating system. He them shopping around and bought QDOS (Quick and Dirty Disk Operating System) from some guy in Seattle. It became MSDOS when Microsoft changed the look of the C prompt. That's all they did. Then they licensed the operating system to IBM and reserved the right to sell it to anyone. Where Bill made his money was seeing an opportunity, finding a solution and being smart legally.Quote:

I looked like it was going to be Sun Microsystems and the joke is it was going to be called Snapple. Oh well. Who would have known Steve Jobs would have ran Armelio out of the seat, take Apple over and get the idea for the smart phone while eating lunch. Not everything Steve did was gold. When he first came in he hired a bathroom designer to start designing the looks of some bizarre computers. Crazy shit. I should have bought some crazy but Apple made a killing on mobil devices.
Are you referring to Dick Chenney? Haha! Wyoming is a tax haven so yeah. We have lot's of interesting types here.Quote:
