These guys are heavily connected to the Podestas and other Hillary people.

I love the smell of Mueller indictments on a Friday. It smells like...victory.

Trump’s guy is probably going to jail for a long time.

And two weeks later Trump pardons him, I would so laugh my butt off.

Me too! I love watching criminals get off with no punishment! It's definitely the hallmark of a healthy society.

Personally, I could care less if Manfort goes to prison.

Personally, I believe in a state where those who break the law are punished for it. I'm not into living in dictatorships, where the presidents pardon their friends who do illegal stuff, in order to support their own illegal stuff.

That's just me though.

That’s hilarious. If you really believed that you would have been upset about Hillary getting off the hook with the help of Comey and McCabe, and you would be upset about Bill’s sexual assault of Kathleen Wiley in the Oval Office. But since all you care about is tribalism and winning at any cost, those crimes are simply and means to a ends. Everyone knows that this is how the game is played.

Flawed logic. I do believe what I said. And I don't believe in the underlying premise of your other comment. So contrary to your 'if you really believed that...' attempt at discrediting what I said, instead you are looking silly for trying to put together an argument that fell apart because of faulty logic.

you would be upset about Bill’s sexual assault of Kathleen Wiley in the Oval Office. B

And once again, your logic falls apart, seeing as I have no idea of the incident you are referring to. How could I be be angry about something I've never heard of? And more importantly, how would belief of the statement I made require that I was angry about an incident about which I don't even know what you are talking about?

since all you care about is tribalism and winning at any cost

This is just silly. I am not tribal. I think the far-left is a poison. I think the far right is too. When Trump does something right, I point it out. When I think is wrong, I do that too. I was saying within 4 days of the election that he could very well win. I have criticized Obama policies in the middle east, and of spying on his own people, and not providing whistlebower protection. I'm a left-leaning centrist who is not tied to either party. It just happens that the one party does a lot more things I agree with than the other party, since the republicans have gone extreme right in the past decade.

No, your logic falls apart again. I am anti-tribalism, and I'm about doing the right thing, not about winning.

And let's not forget, this is you, one of the most tribalistic 'win at any costs' posters on this site. I took the time to respond to your allegation in a logical manner, because I can. But there was an equally valid argument for just laughing at you for being so bold as to even make such a claim, when at the level of tribalism and any-cost-winning you are at.

So to sum it all up, I am going to repeat what I previously did, what I firmly believed then, and still do:

Personally, I believe in a state where those who break the law are punished for it.

Manafort is counting on a pardon from Trump.

The fact that he hasn't rolled yet suggests he might have Kompromat on Trump.

The temperature's risin' like Mob Deep.

Tick, tock fellas....

When a Democrat is accused of wrong doing it’s, “huh? what are you talking about?” I get how the political tribalism game is played. Thanks for proving my point. The blinders go on as soon as a Democrat is elected president.

Manafort’s wrongdoings have nothing to do with the 2016 election but that’s not important for the cause. Very few in the media wanted to know about the credible reports of rape against Bill before his impeachment trial in the Senate. Comey admitted in his news conference that Hillary had improperly stored very sensitive information on her private server. Lefty’s to this day refuse to acknowledge these facts. Hopefully Comey’s misconduct will be exposed next week when the Justice IG report comes out. By that time all we will here is “oh that’s old news” and “let’s stop all this whataboutism”.

Trump haters get all upset because people who don’t support the Left are no longer willing to adhere to the standards that the Left aboneded two decades ago to save Bill’s presidency. It’s how a guy with Trumps many shortcomings could be elected president. Congratulations Left wing nutters - you got Trump elected.

Now you're just getting silly. You bring up an incident I haven't heard of, and try to use my non-anger about an incident I know nothing about as some sort of proof against... something. When I point out that I don't know the incident, now you're going off about liberalism, some game, and how I've proven your point.

Um, how does my not knowing something you've manufactured a bunch of rage about prove anything other than that I don't know the incident you've manufactured rage about?

You're batting 0 right now mate. You keep trying to attribute all these things to me, that fall apart when even peeked at.

So again, I stand by my original statement:

Personally, I believe in a state where those who break the law are punished for it.

So what exactly is it that you don’t know about that I “manufactured “? You are playing the same “silly” game that ended up getting Trump support and votes. Denying the obvious does the Left no good now that they no longer control all major sources of media.

At this point there is zero known evidence that ties Trump to Russian collusion. However it is not even disputed that Hillary and the DNC paid money to Putin’s intelligence agents for political dirt on Trump. Even the New York Times reported the story before it quickly shifted back to Manafort as if it never happened.

Trump lost the popular vote by millions.

Trump lost the popular vote by millions.

But he won the EC vote which is the ONLY thing that matters.

Once again, reality shows that to not be correct.

The very fact that they even record the popular vote, and that people are still talking about it, shows that whether you like it or not, it does matter to the people.

The president is governing even though more people wanted the other person. Of course you don't want that to matter, as it means that every decision he makes is not backed by the will of the people, and is not a truly democratic decision. But as much as you can pretend that doesn't matter, everyone everywhere knows that none of his decisions are backed by the American voters. Only the electoral college - a few hundred people out of 360 million.

Quite the democracy there.

When someone says that more people supported Trump or his positions or that the left lost because people didn’t like their positions, then of course someone will point out the popular vote. Trump won the election despite being less popular, not because he was more popular.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the election is over, move on. California doesn't rule the nation, I know the tech industry and the social media is trying their best to indoctrinate people on looney liberal policies, but let's take a chill pill and deal with reality, the woman lost, her and the Democrats blew it, they were all too busy about winning elections than the people and as the anointed one once said, elections have their consequences, he won, she lost, he won the EC and she decided to blow off Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. One woman's lost is Trump's gain.

then of course someone will point out the popular vote. Trump won the election despite being less popular, not because he was more popular.

But he won. Deal with it. Lol

The very fact that they even record the popular vote, and that people are still talking about it, shows that whether you like it or not, it does matter to the people.

I see what you mean, the polls are narrowing. OMG! I guess if I were a Democrat, I would be a bit concerned, they should be light years away in the polls and they aren't.....ooops!

Not good at all.

The president is governing even though more people wanted the other person. Of course you don't want that to matter, as it means that every decision he makes is not backed by the will of the people, and is not a truly democratic decision.

Gee, until this election, the libs didn't care, but because middle America woke up and decided California and the Democrats attempt to get illegals to vote didn't work. How about listening to rural America instead of Silicone Valley.

But as much as you can pretend that doesn't matter,

It doesn't, that's why we have the EC. If you don't like it, Americans can petition it, bring it to their local congressman and they can bring to the floor, good luck with that. The Democrats as dumb as they are, they aren't THAT stupid, they know if they would even attempt to touch the EC to even bring it up could cause a huge backlash in future and they don't want that.

everyone everywhere knows that none of his decisions are backed by the American voters. Only the electoral college - a few hundred people out of 360 million.*

Yes and to those people like myself who voted and the people that are growing to like this President in 11 counties in California alone is something to smile about.
