The New York Times keeps leaking information, that's why the UK has stated it will no longer share intelligence with the US. The NYT is not concerned about National Security, that's why they keep colluding with the leakers in the White House. Thanks NYT, for ruining our relationship with another nation just because you want to make money. Another example of the absolute disgrace known as the liberal media.

Greece pays the minimum, and their in financial collapse, yet Germany sells us their BMWs and Volvos and shit and are actually wealthy and say screw you to America. Well I say it's time to exit NATO and give a big fat f-u to Merkel and co. Ungrateful whores.

Why the Hell are WE paying money to defend them when they won't chip in, some at all? They are wealthy nations and need to pay up! Go Trump! This is my taxes, funding these UNGRATEFUL bastards with smug looks on their faces. Screw them!

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/appoint-special-prosecutor-investigate-murder-seth-rich-alleged-wikileaks-email-leaker

This petition went from 7K+ signatures to 15K+ in just 6 hours. Seth Rich is the Key. Just today WND 12 was suspended from Twitter for quoting a detective who said Donna Brazile had asked why he was snooping around in the murder. Talk about fascism on the left and stifling free speech! Such hypocrisy!

Seth Rich was a Bernie supporter who Federal Agents have now identified as the DNC leaker - giving WikiLeaks over 40,000 emails, then dead 4 days later, and proof beyond a doubt that the media has been lying through their teeth about Russia collusion with the Trump campaign.

His murder was designated as a burglary, though his wallet, watch, necklace, etc, was still on him and he was reportedly still alive when he arrived at the hospital, but DC police prevented him from receiving care. This is the nail in the DNC's coffin, because not only does it show that he was murdered, it shows that the DNC has assassins. He was the leaker, as KIMDOTCOM revealed last week that he worked with Rich on delivering the emails to WikiLeaks.

Julian Assange also offered a reward for information about Rich's murder, and while talking about his sources, talked only about him.

We also saw how Hannity was threatened to have his advertisers pulled, and immediately was forced to stop talking about this damning story. The fact is the DNC DID in fact screw Bernie, and everyone knows it, and the fact that they are screaming Russia, when Hillary sold them 25% of our Uranium, and Podesta took $35 million from them, proves that the only collusion was between the Hillary camp and Russia. And that's a fact, but they keep screaming about Trump and Russia when after 8 months haven't provided a shred of evidence.

Sign the petition, if you care about the Truth.

Ok Loki, if you wanna be TECHNICAL, no it isn't illegal for anyone in government to have a server at their home that is separate from their government server at work. But when you put CLASSIFIED government information on your PRIVATE home server, then it IS a Federal Crime. And most certainly it is ILLEGAL to EMAIL CLASSIFIED government documents. If you talk to the IRS they will give you a fax number that will only be good for about 30 minutes, and will not accept emailed documents or forms, because "EMAIL IS NOT SECURE." Everyone in government knows this, from the TOP to the lowly IRS employee you are just trying to deliver your forms to.

Lol. Honestly the guy sounded REALLY hurt, "like, he just body slammed me." PUHLEASE. What a crybaby. This will get blown out of proportion of course. And as far as accusing Trump supporters of violence! Yea right. You guys and your Antifa and your BLM killing people and blowing shit up and lighting things on fire and busting windows and punching women and elderly people and OMG it just doesn't get any more hypocritical than this! The reporter was trolling and trying to distort and being demeaning and I'm GLAD this happened. These so-called reporters are some of the filthiest creatures on this planet.

For someone who says "they only care about fetuses," why are you the one using that terminology? I'm ok with abortion up to a certain point, but not when it starts growing a brain and becomes an individual - which is the terminology they actually use. The Partial Birth Abortion thing is just plain inhumane and disgusting. If it takes money to keep your humanity, than the root of all evil is shown to be weaker than dignity and what is right and good.

Plan Clinton - Partial Birth Abortion!

Not to mention she praised Margaret Sanger who started Planned Parenthood, and said that black people are weeds that need to be exterminated.  :afr2: Vomit

#5 is just plain false.  Trump's "foundation" was nothing more than a slush fund.

http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37369515

Compared to the Clinton Foundation, the Trump Foundation hasn't received nearly as much media attention, but the stories that have come out have painted a sometimes-less-than-flattering picture. Here are some of the reasons why:
Co-opted credit: Mr Trump has repeatedly claimed that he's making a donation to a charity only to fund that donation with money from his foundation. Given that at this point the foundation's funding comes from outside sources, he is in effect taking credit - and being lauded - for simply passing charitable donations along.
The Washington Post's David Fahrenthold, who has conducted extensive investigation into Mr Trump's charitable involvement, cites the "Palm Tree Award" Mr Trump received for a $150,000 donation he made (from his foundation's money) to the Palm Beach Police Foundation. That donation came only after the Trump Foundation had received a $150,000 contribution from the New Jersey based Charles Evans Foundation, however. When the Evans Foundation donations stopped, the money to the police charity from Mr Trump's foundation ended as well.
"Trump had effectively turned the Evans Foundation's gifts into his own gifts, without adding any money of his own," Fahrenthold notes.
Mr Trump also benefited from the fact that the Police Foundation holds its annual charity dinner at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. In 2014, for instance, the charity paid the club $276,463 in rental fees. Mr Trump often gave foundation donations to groups that were paying top dollar to hold events on his properties.
Personal purchases: Although much of the money in the Trump Foundation has been gifted to other charitable organisations, some of it has been spent on purchases from charity auctions, including $20,000 for a 6ft tall painting of Mr Trump in 2007 and $12,000 for a football helmet signed by NFL quarterback Tim Tebow in 2012.
The whereabouts of those two items are currently unknown. If they stayed in Mr Trump's possession, it would appear to be a violation of US tax law prohibiting "self-dealing" - where managers of charitable groups purchase gifts for themselves from foundation funds. If the IRS determines this was the case, Mr Trump would have to reimburse his foundation for the market value of the purchase and pay a penalty.
Questionable donations: As Mr Trump began attempting to curry favour with Republicans in recent years, more of his donations have been directed to conservative causes. In 2014 he made a $10,000 donation to the American Spectator Foundation, the nonprofit group that publishes the arch-conservative magazine of the same name.
The Trump Foundation also made a $100,000 donation - its largest gift of that year - to Citizens United, a conservative group best known for a lawsuit that ended with the US Supreme Court striking down limits on many of the kinds of political campaign donations Mr Trump has criticised during his candidacy.
These kinds of donations, while representing a shift in the foundation's charitable giving patterns, are perfectly legal. In 2013, however, the Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to "And Justice for All", a campaign committee supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Political donations of this kind from a charitable foundation are prohibited. When the contribution was discovered in 2016, Mr Trump moved $25,000 from his personal account to compensate his foundation and paid a $2,500 IRS fine. Trump Foundation representatives have said the contribution was made in error.
As multiple news outlets have pointed out, the original donation arrived just days after Florida announced it was not joining a multi-state lawsuit against Trump University - a Trump-branded for-profit company that offered real-estate seminars and has been accused of fraud. A New York Times open-records request found no evidence that Ms Bondi was directly involved in that decision, however.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says his office is looking into possible Trump Foundation "impropriety"
OK, Trump paid a fine. Does the foundation have any other legal troubles?
Yes. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman - the Democrat who is spearheading the investigation into Trump University - announced on 3 October that he has ordered the Trump Foundation to stop fundraising.
The foundation had neglected to register under article 7A of New York's Executive Law, which is required for any charity soliciting more than $25,000 (£19,440) a year, a letter from Schneiderman's office said
Trump officials have denounced the investigation as partisan.
Democrats in Congress have requested that the US Department of Justice initiate a criminal investigation into the Bondi donation for possible violation of federal bribery laws. The left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has made a similar request of a US attorney in Florida - although proving such quid-pro-quo cases is extremely difficult.
In addition the group has filed a formal request that the IRS revoke the Trump Foundation's nonprofit tax status - an action the IRS will likely only take if it finds egregious and repeated violations of its regulations.

Donald Trump lists free rounds on his golf courses as part of his charitable giving
But Trump says he gives lots of money to charities. Is he lying?
Who knows?
Because Mr Trump hasn't released his tax returns, there's no way to tell exactly how much he gives to charities. The Post's Fahrenthold has been doggedly trying to track down any and all of Mr Trump's personal donations but has only identified one gift, of less than $10,000, between 2008 and May 2016.
In May, four months after pledging to do so and after heightened media attention, Mr Trump donated $1m to a veterans' charity. The Republican candidate has also recently donated $100,000 to a charity aiding relief efforts following devastating floods in Louisiana.
Mike Pence, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said on 12 September that his running mate "has given away tens of millions of dollars to charitable causes throughout his business life".
The Trump campaign released a list of charitable donations it says the candidate has made totalling $102m over the past five years - but the items listed were either in-kind contributions such as free rounds of golf at Mr Trump's courses offered at charity auctions and land-conservation agreements or money originating from the Trump Foundation.
"The Foundation's second-biggest donation described on the campaign's list went to the charity of a man who had settled a lawsuit with one of Trump's golf courses after being denied a hole-in-one prize," Fahrenthold and the Post's Rosalind Helderman write.

You're making a case, and I'm sure many don't get past the first line before accepting it, which is sad and dum. What you're saying however is FALSE.

Wow, just finished up with your final source, I read things backwards, so the first link I'm referring to now. There is LITERALLY NOTHING THERE. Your point is so absurdly pointless I'm just bored and disappointed…

@mhorndisk:

Totally couldn't have said it better, but don't forget about Seth Rich, the murdered DNC staffer (they claim it was a robbery even though his wallet was still on him), has now been identified as the leaker to WikiLeaks (NOT RUSSIA). The leaks came from inside the DNC itself, and that means all this Russia garbage is pure LIES, and it also means that the deep state agents promoting this LIE are in collusion with the DNC, and have been from the beginning. Trump had nothing to do with any of this, period, and there still is ample evidence against Hillary and the DNC, yet they are blaming Trump and Russia. What a bunch of BS!

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/23/statement-on-coverage-seth-rich-murder-investigation.html

Published May 23, 2017
Fox News

"On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.

We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted."

http://www.snopes.com/seth-rich-dnc-wikileaks-murder/

"Long before the retraction, the Fox News story fell apart almost the moment it was published.

Within a day, one of its main sources — a private investigator working with Rich's family, but paid for by a conservative Dallas millionaire — recanted his story. The family has since sent him a cease and desist letter.

Subsequent reporting by NBC News and other outlets also found that the local police investigating Rich's death never even gave his laptop to the FBI, so there was no way Fox's purported source could have seen it.

A former law enforcement official with first-hand knowledge of Rich's laptop told NBC News definitively: "It never contained any e-mails related to WikiLeaks, and the FBI never had it.

We were able to confirm the FBI is not investigating Rich’s murder — it is an MPD (sic, DC Police) investigation.

…Although the Fox report claims Wheeler is a private investigator, a search for Wheeler’s name on the public lookup tool for licenses in Washington D.C. yields no results. We also checked for a license under his name in Maryland, where his firm Capitol Investigations is based. This search also yielded no results. When we asked MPD whether he was indeed a homicide detective with the department, they only confirmed he once worked there starting in 1990. He was dismissed by the department in 1995, but a spokesman did not explain why.

We sent an e-mail to Wheeler through his firm and have not yet received a response.

NBC News identified the “third party” who hired Wheeler to investigate Rich’s murder as Ed Butowsky, a Dallas-based financial adviser, who is also a Fox News contributor."

So, according to you, the "REAL" story is Sean Hannit and Fox News will say ANYTHING to bolster Trump, even when proven demonstrably FALSE.

Got it.

WOW the FBI! Not investigating the murder of a close person in the Hillary campaign who is suspected of leaking information to WikiLeaks when someone who actually worked with him (KIM.COM) said outright that he was INVOLVED. WOW. I totally believe it. Again, enough with the nonsense brah!

Well you say follow the money, so why don't you follow the evidence, and where collusion has actually occurred? It just seems like a huge distraction from the REAL story.

@ajax0980:

Some FACTS that were not mentioned but deserve scrutiny:
http://www.latimes.com/world/europe/la-fg-russia-election-meddling-20170330-story.html (Pro Trump publication LA Times)
For years, Russia has used a grab bag of illicit tactics, including the hacking of emails and mobile phones, the dissemination of fake news and character assassination, to try to undermine the political process in other countries.

“They have a history of doing this,” Roy Godson, professor of government emeritus at Georgetown University, told a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday. “They find this a successful use of their resources.”

Moscow has recently stepped up this type of activity, targeting political processes in France, Germany and the Netherlands, among other nations, according to experts who testified on the first day of a series of Senate hearings on Russia’s propaganda and intelligence campaign aimed at undermining the 2016 vote.

Now let's delve into CURRENT Trump-Russian connections:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/03/03/the-web-of-relationships-between-team-trump-and-russia/?utm_term=.269463f7a15e

Donald Trump, president. Trump’s connections to Russian business interests are murky, thanks to his decision not to release his tax returns during the campaign. We know that the Miss Universe pageant was hosted in Moscow when Trump owned it and that he earned millions of dollars for doing so. We know, too, that he’s repeatedly explored real estate deals in the country. It’s not clear whether Trump has met Kislyak, though the ambassador attended a foreign policy speech Trump gave last spring and the reception that preceded it. We know now that Trump has been in communication with Putin — but he also claimed to have been in contact with representatives of the Russian president (and Putin himself) before the campaign. (let's not forget about the 45m house sold for 100m to a dubious Russian Oligarch, never lived in now under plans to be torn down but hey, that's not at all sketchy!)

Jeff Sessions, attorney general. Sessions’s relationship with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Russia’s man in Washington is well-established by now.

Jared Kushner, adviser. Trump’s son-in-law (Ivanka’s husband) also met with Kislyak during the period between Election Day and the inauguration, according to the New York Times. Kushner also has some loose connections to Russian business interests, according to the Times, including an investment from tech investor Yuri Milner in a real estate investment company and a friendship with the wife of oligarch Roman Abramovich. (She was invited to the inauguration as Ivanka Trump’s guest.)

Michael Flynn, former national security adviser. Flynn had a number of contacts with Kislyak after Election Day, including attending that meeting between the ambassador and Kushner. (Flynn was forced to resign his position after it was revealed that his comments about the content of those meetings to Vice President Pence were falsehoods.) After resigning from the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, Flynn was invited to give a paid speech at a celebration of RT. He did so and joined Putin’s table for a related banquet.

Donald Trump Jr., son. The younger Trump visited France last October to speak to an obscure Russian group. In 2008, Don Jr., who works for the Trump Organization, famously told a real estate conference that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets” and that “we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

Paul Manafort, former campaign manager. Manafort’s links to Russian interests are well established. New revelations that emerged during the campaign prompted Trump to demand Manafort’s resignation. Manafort is one of the Trump campaign staffers who reportedly made contact with Russian interests during the campaign.

Rex Tillerson, secretary of state. Before he was confirmed to serve as the head of the State Department, even Republicans questioned Tillerson’s relationship to Putin. As the head of ExxonMobil, Tillerson helped negotiate a massive agreement between the Russian government and ExxonMobil-Rosneft, a partnership between the two companies. Tillerson was subsequently awarded the “Order of Friendship” by Putin.

Wilbur Ross, secretary of commerce. Ross’s connections to Russian business interests are less obvious than Tillerson’s. During the Clinton administration, Ross served on the board of the U.S.-Russia Investment Fund, an effort to bolster businesses in post-Cold-War Russia. During his confirmation, questions arose about his ownership of a bank on Cyprus that, in the words of McClatchy’s Kevin Hall, “caters to wealthy Russians.”

Roger Stone, longtime adviser. Stone’s connection to Russia is murky. During the campaign, he drew attention for seeming to have inside knowledge on the WikiLeaks document releases — releases that have been linked to Russian interests by the government. More directly, the Times reports that Stone is possibly under investigation by the U.S. government for his links to Russia.

Carter Page, former adviser. Page is included in that alleged investigation as well, but his links to Russia are more clear. Page pretty clearly met with Kislyak last year during the Republican convention in Cleveland, as he admitted to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Thursday night. He also has repeatedly addressed Russian business groups in that country, including twice in 2016. Over a decade ago, he worked in Russia as an investment banker.

J.D. Gordon, former adviser. Page is far in the outer orbit of Trump’s circle, serving briefly as part of Trump’s national security advisory team. He’s joined there by Gordon, a onetime Pentagon spokesman who also served as an adviser to the campaign. Gordon, like Page, reportedly spoke with Kislyak in Cleveland.

Full stories at the links provided.

Follow the money–when Drumpf's tax returns are subpoenaed, we'll know where his money really comes from (besides of course bilking subcontractors, ripping off Trump University enrollees and all 'his' products made in countries OTHER than America), but that's an entirely different, tho related conversation I'm sure will be broached at some time during the CRIMINAL investigation of this game show host/carnival barker cum president.

Witch Hunt? I think NOT!

What a JOKE! Like your last point saying Gordon "spoke" with Kislyak. WOW!!! That proves it! But what about Podesta getting PAID $35,000,000 dollars from Russia? Don't mention THAT huh? Garbage.

Totally couldn't have said it better, but don't forget about Seth Rich, the murdered DNC staffer (they claim it was a robbery even though his wallet was still on him), has now been identified as the leaker to WikiLeaks (NOT RUSSIA). The leaks came from inside the DNC itself, and that means all this Russia garbage is pure LIES, and it also means that the deep state agents promoting this LIE are in collusion with the DNC, and have been from the beginning. Trump had nothing to do with any of this, period, and there still is ample evidence against Hillary and the DNC, yet they are blaming Trump and Russia. What a bunch of BS!

Stop "whining" about her emails? Are you freakin' kidding me? She deleted 33,000 emails AFTER a subpoena! Are ya blind? That is a clear and blatant criminal act, it doesn't matter if charges haven't been placed YET. All it means is that she has enough evidence to bring down the people who WOULD charge her. Plain and simple. How dare you defend her for this! It is inexcusable and profoundly ridiculous. She is a blatant criminal. She had a private unsecured server with classified information on it and emailed it to people who were not authorized to see it, another crime. Just because someone gets away with criminal behavior, doesn't mean that she's not guilty in any way whatsoever, and it is delusional to think otherwise.

@flozen:

In a completely unexpected development, today offered even more detail on Trump, his apostles, and their long(er)-term collusion with Russia:

Separately, as a Florida resident I'm all too familiar with Pam Blondie and her transparent pay-to-play with Trump, illuminated very well in the preceding posts, thank you gents.

Give the Russia garbage a rest. It's not working. Hillary's manager Podesta took 35$ Million from Russia but you don't mention that do ya? You conveniently ignore it as per usual. Hillary sold a quarter of our Uranium to Russia and therefore had a business relationship with them but you don't mention that do ya? We know you're not going to give the Russia crap a rest, but it's ok, try all you want, you aren't convincing anyone, and in fact the more you keep pressing it, the more the DNC loses it's base, because everyone knows at this point it's pure nonsense.

Mike Pence, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said on 12 September that his running mate "has given away tens of millions of dollars to charitable causes throughout his business life".
The Trump campaign released a list of charitable donations it says the candidate has made totalling $102m over the past five years - but the items listed were either in-kind contributions such as free rounds of golf at Mr Trump's courses offered at charity auctions and land-conservation agreements or money originating from the Trump Foundation.
"The Foundation's second-biggest donation described on the campaign's list went to the charity of a man who had settled a lawsuit with one of Trump's golf courses after being denied a hole-in-one prize," Fahrenthold and the Post's Rosalind Helderman write.

This is all nonsense. Just YouTube "Donald Trump helps a little girl with bone disease," for one example. So you don't see how much the check is for, but you can't claim that garbage about his tax returns. He didn't have to donate anything, but the fact is, he did, because he felt for the little girl, and that was like 15 years ago or something, way before he became political. There are countless examples of this type of behavior and the fact that you want to smear his charitable work is shameful, and honestly, I think it's just because he doesn't look like Brad Pitt and you are judgmental of his physical appearance, as so many in the gay community are stereotypically guilty of, which is why you guys always call him orange and make fun of his hair. It's bullying and hypocritical.

The next part of the plan is to attempt to impeach Trump and then cause riots by impersonating Trump supporters in outrage, so FEMA can take over and the Constitutional Crisis can reinstate Obama and the Constitution goes bye-bye. It won't work. We are aware of the plan and are ready to move.

Clinton is HOMOPHOBIC to answer you. They passed the DOMA that Trump is now fighting against.

Not sure why ANYONE in Cali would be against gay marriage, but I suppose it would be because someone they didn't wanna fuck was for it…
