How can they put a pice of paper saying that the Russian’s did NOT interfer with the 2016 Presidential election when the intelligence community has CONCRETE proof that they did and that the US Senate and Robert Mueller’s people have CONCRETE proof that the Russians did just that….
House Republicans are privately venting that they’ve fumbled the release of their own Russia probe report.
The blaring headline the GOP wanted from this week’s rollout was clear: After a year of searching, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee found no evidence that President Donald Trump or his associates aided Moscow’s scheme to interfere in the 2016 election but that the nation must still prepare for another assault from the Kremlin.
Instead, much of the focus has been on lawmakers’ startling conclusion that the nation’s intelligence agencies botched their analysis when they determined Russia wanted Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton.
The finding once again pitted the committee’s Republicans against the leaders of the intelligence community and led to a frenzy of news coverage that put members on the defensive. And rather than seizing an opportunity to highlight the Russian threat and undermine lingering questions about the Trump campaign’s Russian contacts, Republicans faced a political headache of their own making…..

Why would the Republicans want to try to protect Trump?
After all you keep telling us he’s not “really” a Republican?If that’s true wouldn’t they just want him to dangle in the wind so to speak?Indeed, this would be a good way to weaken him don’t you think?
Perhaps CG could offer his insights too as you boys seem to see eye to eye on this.
Trump isn’t a Republican,right James?CG thinks he may be a”secret” Democrat.Republicans don’t “really” want him as their candidate but they just are going along with him to mess with the “libruls”,right?
Here was their golden opportunity,yet, for reasons unknown ,they are desperately trying to help him out of this dilemma of his own creation.
Why?
Or don’t you “really” believe the garbage you post here?
jamesb says
Morning Jack…….
This conversation is like a computer in a loop….
Of course Trump IS the Leader of the GOP now….
That doesn’t mean EVERYONE in the party likes or agree’s with him….
The vast majority of polled Republicans think he should shut the fuck up with his silly shit….
But they have the majority along with him…
He’s SO strong politically that the people he endorses LOSE, eh?
On the idelogical BS Jack?
Donald Trump’s views are staright out of Fox news….
He’s THAT original….
My view stands that if and when the Democrats gain their majority come January?
Donald J. Trump’s Democratic leanings that come up from time to time will resurface again….
Stuck between Mueller, and the Democrats?
He will seek to turn some of his skin to survive…
My Name Is Jack says
That is no answer. And fundamentally wrong in many respects.
Contrary to your false assertion, Republicans overwhelmingly support Trump.
Besides, this goofy ,”well not all Republicans do” routine is old and irrelevant.Politics is not controlled by small numbers of people James,a concept you seemingly don’t understand,witness your pseudo psychological babbling ,ie, “people can be more than one thing.”Really?Well golly wow,gee whiz.What exactly does that malarkey have to do with anything?Yeah I like apples.Well I like oranges too.So?In your world I am “more than one thing.”
Now, back to the point which you don’t want to discuss because you know you can’t…
If Trump is not really a Republican,why are Republicans ,in the instance mentioned here and many others ,so intent on defending him?Wouldnt it make more sense to let him dangle in hopes that another “real” Republican will take him down.
Then again all these “real” Republicans may be “more than one thing.”You know “real” Republicans sometime and Donald Trump cultists othertimes.
Trumps views are straight out of FoxNews?You mean the the Republican News Network?Then his “views” are commensurate with the vast majority of Republicans,right?No, wait a minute,you’ve told us he isn’t a”real” Republican.Yet “real” Republicans watch FoxNews?Right?
So,what differentiates Trump from other “real” Republicans?Ah, he must be “more than one thing.”Well, maybe they are “more than one thing.
Who knows?We are all”more than one thing!”
Wow!
jamesb says
You’re in a loop Jack….
I answer you….
You keep going back to your orignal question….
Keith says
Well that might be James because you are incapable of answering the original question. And, you never have because your basic premise is completely wrong.
The Republican Party through 50 years of racist dog whistles created Donald Trump. He is the Republican Party.
The Congressional Republican Leadership has gone to great lengths to defend Trump, and appear to be ready to look the other way when (and he will) he fires Mueller.
Last night Trump, through his toady Sessions, fired a career employee to attempt, once again, to discredit the FBI in the Russian investigation — and Ryan and McConnell are silent.
Isn’t that enough “proof” that the Republicans are in lock step with the orange asshole in the White House.
This obsession with the “Trump isn’t a real Republican” line is very much like your insistence that Sanders made Hillary a better candidate.
My Name Is Jack says
Apparently,you are “ more than one thing.”
You’ve essentially admitted that Trump is a Republican.
Accordingly,all the “ Hes not really a Republican “ is relegated to the category of
Cow manure.
The usual resting place of your weird off the wall comments.
jamesb says
He, he, he….
Duh!
Of course Donald J. Trump IS a Republican….
IN NEVER SAID HE WASN’T...
You made that up…..
I have said all along he has Democratic leanings and STILL does….
My Name Is Jack says
No you’ve often stated he’s not a”real” Republican although I notice ,of late,I presume in response to the well deserved taunts you have received from several of us, dropped the”adopted9 Republican routine.
jamesb says
I STILL think Trump is NOT a idligical pure GOPer
Probably more of a moderate one
He, he
I know u don’t believe in that either
But the guy spent his whole life in Blue NYC
Keith says
He has dropped the “adopted” routine, like he no longer insists that Sanders made Hillary a better candidate.
The Republican Party is now in the tank with their President, and appear willing to do anything, and I do mean anything, to protect him and not enrage his racist Party base. They are afraid, and they are putting their Party over our Country.
But, by all means, let’s insist that Trump’s inner Democrat will come out at some point. The only thing we have seen so far is his inner racist.
jamesb says
I still feel he adopted the party to get the nomination.
Or more like a hostile takeover?
CG says
“Hostile Takeover” is a CG Trademark : )
jamesb says
Adoption….’Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person’s biological or legal parent or parents, and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parent or parents.’…
Wiki….
He, he, he….
I’m saying Donald J. Trump took over the rights and responsibiliies of the Grand Ole Party during the 2016 Presidential nomination process….
It’s as clear as day for ALL to see….
He’s their PARENT right now….
Heck, even you’ve been saying that!…
I don’t care what party he belongs to frankly Jack….
I’m waiting for a Democratic House and Presiodent in the next year and 2021….
Then things will point back in the right direction…
It won’t be perfect….
Never is….
But You and I and MOST Americans will be finished with the amateur hour in the nations leadership , or lack of it….
My Name Is Jack says
What does”adopted” the party even mean?
He ran as a Republican.Lots Of people do.What “qualifies” one as more aRepublican than another?
He has certainly governed as a Republican.
Hell, even you concede that,daily blasting him and his administration for this or that Republican move.
For reasons you have never adequately explained, you desperately don’t want him to be aRepublican.
Odd.
Then again ,I find your whole view of things off the wall and weird as I have explained on many occasions.
However, why a self proclaimed Democrat would spend hours trying to convince himself and the four or five people here that Trump isn’t “really” a Republican is beyond me.
My Name Is Jack says
Once again, with no evidence whatsoever ,you ,out of thin air ,have concluded that Trump is a “moderate”because he is lived in New York.
This is about as silly as your effort to portray Trump as having Democratic “tendencies”because there are some pictures of him talking to Schumer and Pelosi and their supporting CRs to keep the government open ,which also shows,in your view, that they will be as eager to “work with” Trump as he will be with them ,if the Democrats take control of Congress (presumably by electing a group of new legislators who likely will have run in opposition to Trumps Administration).Nevertheless, in your view Trump will run tothem and they will embrace him with open arms as the Republicans look on helplessly Once again,your naïveté is as astounding as what passes for your “reasoning “ powers.
Using such “logic” one would conclude that the Republicans ,after winning the 2010 midterms were eager to work with Obama because they supported some CRs to keep the government functioning and smiled at some photo ops when we all know such was not the case.
It must be nice living in this fairy tale world you have created with yourself.
jamesb says
Name me one NYC hardline GOPer Jack?
jamesb says
Yea ur right Jack
He’s such Rightwingnut GOPer That he had the Clinton’s at his third wedding!
My Name Is Jack says
How much more desperate can you get?
Now attending a social event like awedding means ,what exactly?
Are you aware James that people Of opposite parties and political philosophies often socialize?
Obviously. You’re not.
Did you know that the well known conservative William F Buckley and the well known “leftie” (using your childish language) Norman Mailer were close friends?
Did you know that Democratic House Speaker Tip ONeill used to have a weekly bourbon over at the White House with Ronald Reagan?
Did you know that Republican Senate Majority Leader Everett M Dirksen ,who gave the nominating speech for Barry Goldwater, was a regular drinking companion of Lyndon Johnson ?
Of course you didn’t.
I guess in that fairy tail world of yours,such made Bill Buckley a “closet” Leftie,Tip ONeill a supply side Right Winger , and Ev Dirksen a “secret” Democrat sent by LBJ to sabotage Goldwater.
Yes, silly is the describe you and your,uh,
“Evidence.”
jamesb says
Evidence presented is dated counseler….
Please present current good feelis hang out budies examples….
My Name Is Jack says
I earlier posted a response to this(about an hour ago) that has never appeared.
My Name Is Jack says
When you can rationally explain what the Clintons attending Trumps wedding thirteen years ago has to do with anything,much less his political philosophy in 2018,we can talk.
Since everyone here knows you can’t,what is there really left to say?
jamesb says
Sure Jack
I REPEAT..
As a New York mover and shaker business man?
Donald J Trump’s friends and political pedigree is what ever makes him money…
And he is certainly making money as President
In MYC. He ran with the Democrats
What’s so hard about this?
