Our representatives are showing what happens when they're presented with a first, they don't know what to do.

Trump's doing the unconscionable. It was said he would act the way he is. I don't think many believed he'd actually do it.

I think they were caught with their pants around their ankles and don't know what to do.

A weakness has been exposed, self before country.

Is it confusion or self preservation?

It's funny, because we have seen so many LG conservatives claim that they can't get their viewpoints in because of a Leftwing bias on the part of the board.

What's really going on is that the Rightwing can't express itself without lies and propaganda. And that's on them. Not the LG staff or the members. And the conservative members who complain about this thread for it's "bias" know that, which is why they never attempt to provide an opposing view that doesn't involve lies and propaganda. I mean we have smart people here who are conservative. So why are they so unwilling to contribute to a political thread where all that is asked of them is to post fact based opinions?

Adam Schiff Verified account @RepAdamSchiff

I would say that I completely believe President Trump misspoke and that he has full faith and confidence in the members of our intelligence community and understands that Putin and Russia were fully responsible for intervening in our election.

Sorry. I meant wouldn’t.




I wish LG had upvotes. That is pretty funny.

Am I the only one worried that we are putting our faith in Robert Mueller to deal with all this? So far I’ve been impressed with the apparent non partisan approach, but I keep waiting for the Republican in him to rear it’s ugly head.

Trump wasnt from the from the traditional democrat vs republican mode and didnt have a history as a politican and got a lot of independent and libertarian support because of it.

The dinosaur establish Bush crime family republicans either didnt support a candidate or they supported Hilary. Trump got little support from established republicans during the campaign. Many of dinosaur Iraq war GOPers were part of the "never Trump" movement.

He has served both Republican and Democratic administrations. He has always been a straight shooter. His dedication is to the rule of law. He will go where the facts lead.

What’s the point of this? Whether trump got his support from traditional republicans or democrats or independents or libertarians, it doesn’t matter anymore. He is the president of the United States of America. He’s supposed to put our country’s interest first and not a foe like Russia. What he did in Helsinki was not acceptable

Russia must be REALLY good then

I still think they hacked the voting machines and nobody wants to speak about it

As CL posted the fact that the biggest machine vendor installed backdoor software in them.. lamest thing ive ever heard..

The ONLY thing that was keeping them safe was that they never connected to the internet and were kept under lock and key.. now these (bleep) installed backdoor software that is probably easy to steal or hack...

Maryland voting software is owned by an Oligarch

In the spy world, everyone is spying and trying to hack everyone else. Russia also tried to hack the RNC and failed for example. No reason for them not to.

NSA does the same thing. Hacked and spyed on allies like Merkel during the Obama admin.

Israel has spied on the US and stolen classifed info (Johnathan Pollard). NSA spys on Israel and basically the world.

Prump is lucky rooftop voters are mostly made up of neonazis, skinheads and supremacists... His Base!

I'm not advocating it but it has to be a very serious concern.

We have a President installed by a foreign adversary and HE MADE SURE you all know he is a Russian and not an American President

Even his cracker jack box mail order bride looked so happy in her future home country

Is this the everybody is evil so nothing matters defense? lol

No American president has ever stood next to the dictator who just attacked us and defended them instead of his own country. Practically every newspaper and commentator in the country is calling that weak, pathetic, shocking appalling, un-American and bordering on treason. Even Fox News called him out. But oh, sure, no biggie, everyone does it.

Probably a legitimate fear. I mean we saw it with Comey right before the election.

I just don't think Mueller would get this far down the road while being called out so much if he wasn't truly in it for the long haul.

You're speaking logic to people who aren't interested in logic.

Few know here that after growing up in a very conservative, religious family, I still hold some very conservative values. I’m a social Liberal but that ties back to my Republican belief that what I do in my home is my own business, and to each to their own- intrusive government is oppressive government.

I’m also a fiscal conservative in the traditional sense. My inner Republican wants to hang Price for his wastefulness and greed, not nessicarily his desire to dismantle regulations. (Over regulation, see above).

I strongly believe in the 2nd amendment with reasonable regulation.

I served in the US Army. Definitely a patriot and still a bit of a war hawk.

By all definition, I’m half Republican!

I can appreciate a conservative (non-religious) point of view when fact based. Sometimes I even agree.

This thread, used to be a haven for ideas from all sides before Drumph. Where even a snowflake like me could openly debate a Duncan Idaho about gun laws with facts and civility.

Quite honestly, I don’t believe any true conservatives are here anymore. If so they are few and far between, and as always we welcome the discussion.

You would have been considered a staunch Republican 20 years ago. What the party represents now would quite frankly horrify most of them. The party is being represented by literal Nazis in the upcoming election.

Clinton-Trump Debate
October 19, 2016

CLINTON: Well, that’s because he’d rather have a puppet as president of the United States.

TRUMP: No puppet. No puppet.

CLINTON: And it’s pretty clear...

TRUMP: You’re the puppet!

CLINTON: It’s pretty clear you won’t admit...

TRUMP: No, you’re the puppet.

CLINTON: ... that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do, and that you continue to get help from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.
So I think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We’ve never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election. We have 17 — 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military, who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyberattacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin and they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing.

WALLACE: Secretary Clinton...

CLINTON: And I think it’s time you take a stand...

TRUMP: She has no idea whether it’s Russia, China, or anybody else.

CLINTON: I am not quoting myself.

TRUMP: She has no idea.

CLINTON: I am quoting 17...

TRUMP: Hillary, you have no idea.

CLINTON: ... 17 intelligence — do you doubt 17 military and civilian...

TRUMP: And our country has no idea.

CLINTON: ... agencies.

TRUMP: Yeah, I doubt it. I doubt it.

CLINTON: Well, he’d rather believe Vladimir Putin than the military and civilian intelligence professionals who are sworn to protect us. I find that just absolutely...

TRUMP: She doesn’t like Putin because Putin has outsmarted her at every step of the way.


She was right about everything.
