Will the facts matter?

Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 02/27/2017 - 2:43pm

Former-president George W. Bush is now demanding answers about Trump's "Russia connections", and it seems that this is all that is needed to be loved on TOP.

The question is, do the facts of the situation matter at all?

Nunes said the intelligence panel was working out the scope of the probe, which he characterized as an extension of a "long, ongoing investigation" of Russian activities that had been going on for months. However, he said U.S. intelligence officials had not yet presented the committee with any evidence of contacts between Trump campaign staff and Russian intelligence.
"It's been looked into and there's no evidence of anything there. Obviously, we would like to know if there is," Nunes said.

"No evidence of anything there".
Just like the F.B.I. found last October 31.
You would think that if the U.S. intelligence community had evidence of contacts with Russia that they wouldn't be hiding it from Congress, right?
Aside from that "impressive" report they made public last month.

Or is this another layer on the konspiracy? The CIA and NSA are now guilty of treason by covering-up evidence of Trump's treason with Putin!
Good Gawd! Is there anyone in D.C. not working for Putin?

@LaFeminista Spy vs. Spy

Six Russian diplomats have died since November, in addition to an aide to a former deputy prime minister. All but one died on foreign soil. Some were shot, while other causes of death are unknown. Note that a few deaths have been labeled "heart attacks" or "brief illnesses."

It actually lists seven

well?

What else is this nonsense distracting us from?

George Bush, who looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul or something, wants what now?

We had to go to war in Iraq to vindicate Poppy because of something or other. Then Jeb! was trounced in the Republican Presidential primary when he was supposed to be a shoo in. Is this about vindicating him?

Didn't the TV talking heads on the right all have man crushes on the Russian shirtless horseman for being such a strong leader compared to Obama only a couple of years ago?

When did Republicans decide to start violating St. Ronnie's Eleventh Commandment?

George Bush probably wants to torture some more folks until one says Trump is actually a Russian diplomat in disguise and they have an excuse to shoot him...

Does anyone wonder if all this futile attacking of Trump on RUSSIA! is, apart from trying to further spread anti-Iraq anti-Iran anti-Syria Anti-Russian scare propaganda to justify nuking the country to steal their (radioactive) stuff, to make people think that Trump's days are numbered because the Dems and some of the spy agencies are on it while he completes the corporate death-wish-list in America, unhindered by corporate Dems busy shrieking 'RUSSIA!'?

In Canada, InJustin Trudon't-keep-his-word is pushing the TPP. Do not believe any official liars claiming that the 'legalization' of the global hostile corporate take-over coup attempt is dead.

Why does anyone believe anything official out of any of these war-crime Presidents?

https://curiousmatic.com/bomb-map/

... Some key points:

President Obama has bombed the most countries (7) since WWII. Six of these were attacked first by previous presidents.
A close second is President Clinton, who bombed 6 countries, only one of which was bombed by a former administration.
5 out of 20 countries bombed since WWII were related to the Cold War.
7 out of 20 were related to terrorism.
3 out of 20 were isolated attacks, lasting a period of less than two days.
8 out of 20 were extensive campaigns lasting for a period of over 5 years.
5 out of 20 have been struck by drones.
Attacks on other countries were backed by alliances or coalitions 9 times; two of these instances were without UN approval.

Here’s a list of 20 confirmed countries the US has bombed since 1946, along brief details as to when and why it happened. ...

They hate the world for having freedom - and apparently for sustaining life at all.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, is that it? Shows how they will maintain no morals in their quest for democratic party power. To even suggest Bush is on the side of reason is totally against the rules of revolution. I think it's rule 12A(1). But we already knew that about the Daily Kos democrats.
To be fair, I'm sure it's not all of them.

Trump and his people are doing all they can to prove this narrative wrong, and yet it continues. That's interesting, kind of like a multi-dimensional game going on.
In the end, it works on the people, Russia will be the enemy come hell or high water.

Don't worry, in 20-30 years, Democrats will have run so far to the right that Bush will be viewed as a strong progressive...those who critique the Iraq War will now be viewed as making perfect the enemy of good.

Trump is now, after one month, worse than Dubya after 8 years.

I'm unclear how they measure that. Maybe they have a time machine and have visited the future.
Trump may end up being worse, but he has a lot of work to do first. I'm not willing to give him that award just yet.
