Midterm Elections

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
And ?-if you are wondering why the vague smirks on Strzok's face that launched a thousand MAGA -gifs ,  It was in response to GOP comments like ?- "I'm a dentist, Okay. So I read body language very, very well."  ? that?s  when strozk realizes just how big an idiot the GOP congressman is !

Louis Gohmert calling Strzok a liar because he had an affair while supporting Trump is just incredible.  That whole thing was a sham.

The Peter strozk hearing circus blew up in the GOP s face today (sorry no bread being handed out here, only turds)

Very much like the Devin Nunes fiasco from last year . When will these creeps learn ...

all hearings are nothing but posturing from both sides.  nothing ever comes from them.  the right attacks to fire up its base and the left defends because they can't be seen supporting the right.  nobody will remember this hearing come monday.

Right but GOP had the burden of proof to show that Stzrok was evil and plotting.  None of that happened.  Of course red meat is red meat but right now it just looks like grandstanding and another circus for GOP.

It is still remarkable to me that Russia carried out an attack on the United States and congressional Republicans are targeting the FBI for investigating that attack

Meanwhile

A federal grand jury on Friday returned a new indictment against a dozen Russians as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The indictment comes just days before President Donald Trump is set to meet with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

The indictment targets 12 Russian intelligence officers for engaging in a sustained effort to hack networks of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and Hillary Clinton?s campaign. All 12 are members of the GRU, Russia's intelligence service. according to the court filing.

woohoo, 12 more russians to indict that will never be seen by a court in america and didn't influence the election results one iota

this will surely work in the dems' favor for midterms.  as i said before, the protection of illegal aliens will lead to a low tide when the dems are banking on a blue wave.  can you say out of touch?

Dems introduce bill to eliminate ICE, shift duties elsewhere

A group of liberal House Democrats on Thursday introduced legislation to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and shift the bureau?s various duties to other federal agencies.

The new proposal, unveiled by Democratic Reps. Mark Pocan (Wis.), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) and Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.), is the first piece of legislation to tackle the thorny issue, which has become a political lightning rod on both sides of the ideological spectrum in recent weeks.

Liberal Democrats have latched on to the ?Abolish ICE? movement to protest President Trump?s aggressive approach to deportations, while Republicans have hammered the effort as a soft-on-crime strategy that threatens public safety.

Poll: Voters oppose abolishing ICE

A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows that most voters oppose eliminating Immigration and Customs Enforcement ? the homeland security agency some liberal Democrats have called for abolishing.

Only 1 in 4 voters in the poll, 25 percent, believe the federal government should get rid of ICE. The majority, 54 percent, think the government should keep ICE. Twenty-one percent of voters are undecided.

LOL

Dems who drafted bill to abolish ICE now say they'll vote against it

Democrats who drafted a bill to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] suddenly announced Thursday night that they would vote against it if the legislation went to the floor, after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News he intended to call their bluff.

No wonder GOP is nervous:

In one of the more intriguing nuggets contained in the highly detailed indictment, Mueller revealed that an unnamed candidate for Congress asked the Russian conspirators posing as Guccifer 2.0 to give him or her documents stolen from the DNC and the DCCC.

Guccifer 2.0 responded to the request and provided the candidate with documents related to his or her opponent, the indictment says.

The indictment provided no details about the identity of the candidate. The request was granted in mid-August of 2016, during the general election and not primary season.

Yet not one vote was changed.

"Meddling" is what American's do best in other countries elections. No matter which bucket you fall in to -either the MAGA/DNC - side of things, for the US to pearl clutch and dip towards the fainting couch about meddling is laughable.  Just as an indicator of one such episode, and how convoluted it is to trace - give this a read regarding POTUS 44 and Israeli elections:

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/mar/25/blog-posting/blog-claims-us-funded-anti-netanyahu-election-effo/

I'd like to hear more about if the DNC and HRC 2016 Servers were reviewed by the CIA, DOJ, or the FBI. If the servers were not examined by the Department of Justice, but simply by a 3rd party as it had been before, then this whole indictment story is simply a soy based protein substitute providing zero real beef to enjoy between the buns of what has become an even bigger nothingburger.

the dnc servers were turned over to a 3rd party and the federal bureau of matters never actually looked at them.  now, if ivan drago's people really hacked into your system, shouldn't the first people you go to be the feds and not some third party?  where's my soylent burger?

Your definition of vote changed is rather narrow and I don't understand the "we have done it so what" argument. 

Every step of the way...people have doubted Mueller and his team...I assure you dude is playing 10-D chess.
 
Kings: It was either a Wendy's or BKing that had one of those freeway signs with "Our secret ingredient is our people". I need that on a shirt.

IrvineCommuter - it's not my definition. It's what Rosenstein said in the briefing. It's what's in the indictments.


The Righty's say that given the bandwith limits, there's simply no way the data could have been downloaded across multiple continents in the time that by these 3rd parties say it was. Sure... who knows?

The Lefties say "We have to trust these 3rd party reviewers as they were hired by the DNC to find things the truth". Sure... whatever.

This whole thing is an Ouroboros. It's way too late to do any forensics on the Servers so anything that has been "discovered" in the last 90 days is too stale to be considered valid evidence - providing that the Servers were put under lock and key since November 10th, 2016. 

We know that isn't the case. 

More noise from the Special Counsel than true signal. It's certainly going to rev up the news cycle though for the next 3-4 days.

By the way, anyone still give a shiat about those migrant kids or Melania's coat. Wasn't there someone nominated to the Supreme Court? I forget.... Where's my bread?


 
trump is the greatest thing that has ever happened to the media.  it's like a real life truman show - everything he does is news.  hate him or love him, you have to tune in to see what he did next.
that means the news cycle has to keep moving to keep up.  i wonder if pence's first term will be as exciting?
 
Maybe those 2 cents are really worth even less this time

Yes everything is noise because we are the real armchair experts aren?t we

Just as people here have supposedly domain knowledge in whatever area they make their living ? mortgage brokers , financial advisors , doctors , etc etc , Mueller is an expert in his area , and as his part record as a republican himself , is above reproach .

Mueller has brought 191 criminal charges against 35 defendants, according to last count.  This includes 112 new charges brought today against a dozen Russian operatives for hacking.

Yes dismiss him all you want, because Republicans on this board reading Drudge Report have a lot more expertise on what?s going on w the investigation than someone who has dedicated his life to this country?s service .

Depends, do you want someone competent to do forensics on the servers? Or do you want the government to do it?

The only three letter agency that can touch the Russians in cyber is the NSA. Maybe CIA. FBI/DOJ is useless against Russia, or anyone older than 12.

Not that anyone could prove it anyway, attribution is mostly BS. 15 year olds are frequently mistaken as Russia and north korea. NSA makes those mistakes far less often, easy to do when you have your hooks into so many internet backbones. Of course, they don?t tell us their findings.

we're supposed to believe the three letter agencies are unbiased - let's run with that for a second.  whether a third party company is "competent" or not doesn't mean they are bound to be ethical and/or represent the truth, especially when they wouldn't even turn over the hacked servers in question.  wouldn't it be beneficial to turn over all data to anyone that has the ability to help, especially the same entity that helps build cases against someone to prosecute?  the fact that they refused to do so stinks to high heaven.
 
Huh ? Wasn?t all this supposed to be a giant nothingburger (or Popeyes fried chicken, whatever) . Below tweet almost seems like an admission of guilt.

Trump tweeting yesterday  ? ?The stories you heard about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administration. Why didn?t they do something about it, especially when it was reported that President Obama was informed by the FBI in September, before the Election??

A president with any allegiance to our flag , with even half a spine , would be asking for extradition of these criminals when he meets Putin next week.

Yeah agreed, just don?t trust the three letters either. We have a ways to go to have reliable attribution.

I'm sure Putin would say "Sure thing!", all we need to do is ask!
