The most important news of the day (so far):
In stunning move, Trump declassifies documents related to Russia probe
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/na...sifies-documents-related-russia-probe-n910486

I'm sure the "usual suspects" here are a-ok with this. But here's the thing:

• This was done for purely political motives. It's an attempt to undermine the investigation, possibly a form of retaliation(?) against perceived "enemies."
  
• It jeopordizes national security by potentially burining intel collection streams
• Will make it more difficuolt to acquire intelligence sources in the future
• May be interpreted as violating the presidential oath of office by jeopardizing national security.

Go ahead and argue that for a while - I have other things to do.

False equivalences for breakfast this AM, I see...

I am sure you are right - all just an irrelevant coincidence. Obama is great and pure. However Trump wearing the same color necktie as Putin, that's a real warning sign. Because it's Trump.

Breaking news....What a tyrant he is, not keeping secrets from the American people. Where is the KGB when one needs them? How dare he allow the people to know what their masters are doing with their money, and in their name. Let's all pray really hard for our shepherds to come back and tend to us lost sheep. And put real patriots in charge so they can rig elections, assassinate enemies, start wars and overthrow governments to keep us safe.

"The media isn’t talking about the Trump admin’s threats of starting WWIII in Syria to protect al-Qaeda..."

Because he is finally doing something the left can get behind. World War 3 and the support of Al-Qaeda. Why, that's almost as good as transgender toilets for kids.

What's the purpose of including an ad hominem with you day old news?

Of course it's political. DNC, FBI, DOJ have been engaged in a political effort to remove or hamstring President Trump since 2016. Making everything public is also what people have been asking for.

Planted GPS trackers in bait items including a purse and left in a car. Predictably, car windows were smashed and bait was taken. Crew tracked down and interviewed the thieves. During the interview, the Inside Edition van was robbed. Per SF Chronicle, 31K people reported smash and grab robberies in 2017.

Mexico made ‘significant concessions’ in new trade deal with U.S: Chrystia Freeland

Will China be next country to make "significant concessions"?

Only Tuesday and Professor Ford is refusing to testify in front of Judiciary Committee. Democrats refusing to participate and insist asking questions is somehow disrespectful / threatening.

Another interesting opinion: Professor Ford has multiple degrees in psychology which require hours of psychological examinations. But she never brought this life changing event up until 2012.

You left out, obviously she can see the future, since it's 2018 and not 2012.

That and finding out Bert and Ernie are gay.

"Former “Sesame Street” writer says Bert and Ernie’s relationship was modeled after his own with his life partner Arnold Glassman, but Sesame Workshop says Bert and Ernie have no sexual orientation."

GOP parent: How do I explain Bert and Ernie being gay to my kids?

Normal parent: How do I explain the president who raped his first wife, endorsed a child molester, partied with pedophiles, said he’d date his daughter if he weren’t her dad, walked in on underage girls undressing, talked about dating a young girl when she got older, cheated on all his wives, one while pregnant with Playboy bunnies and porn stars, sexualized his own kids, sexually assaulted more than a dozen women and bragged about grabbing women by the pussy to my kids?

Of course! Why would someone using pysc counseling to prepare for her carrer talk about a "life changing" event.

You're a good sheep.

That and finding out Bert and Ernie are gay.

Spoiler; they're puppets. They were never gay, just two make believe friends made to be an example that different types of people can get along.

Dumbass.


A spokesperson for Sesame Workshop has countered Saltzman, telling TMZ … “As we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.”

They continue, “Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets™ do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”

Frank Oz — longtime puppeteer for the show and hands behind some of the beloved characters, including Bert — also denounced Saltzman, saying, “It seems Mr. Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert & Ernie are gay. It’s fine that he feels they are. They’re not, of course. But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There’s much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness.”

I imagine the same way they explained Bill Clinton raping women, Ted Kennedy leaving a woman to in a upside down, submerged car, then cowardly refusing to call for help.

Democrats are hypocrite scum.

Childhood shattered. mr-x just now finding out his 2 best friends growing up are gay.

Puppets don't have sex. Well, yours does but that's a story for a different forum.

I can't believe people are arguing about this. This has to be the dumbest thing of 2018.

So the woman who came forward about Kavanaugh has had to move out of her house with her daughters and go into hiding because of crazies making death threats.

Death threats. Because she dared to speak out about someone who attempted to rape her.

Another example of why women don’t speak up about these things. Once again, the victim becomes the accused and the persecuted.

WTF is wrong with people? This is disgusting and insane.

 

[mr-x]

... feelings..
Death threats. Because she dared to speak out about someone who attempted to rape her.

.. more feeling and outrage

Someone she accused of trying to rape her.

She doesn't know when, where or how she got there. Like the accusation was crafted to prevent the accused from clearing themselves.

Now she refuses to testify about what happened. This is a scam, you're a gullible sheep.

 

[mr-x]

It's amazing to me that the thinnest of accusations, obviously politically motivated are so readily accepted and people asking obvious questioning are considered to a problem.

Trump has exposed the democrats as nasty, spoiled children who will do anything to get what they want.
