The significance of both the Hillary emails and the DNC emails is that Trump and his surrogates...
Again, the largest block of voters - independents - is ignored with this time-tested false dichotomy in American politics.
Liberal vs conservative, democrat vs republican, Trump and not-Trump.
By "poofing" everyone else out of existence except the loathsome Trump, the only possible motivation surrounding Hillary's crimes are slanderous lies by Trumpists.
Welcome to reality where Bernie Supporters, Greens, Libertarians, Independents, and a whole lot of others who don't support Trump as their first choice but who are really concerned a presidential candidate was running a private non-secured server instead of the state-provided security network. It was clearly to avoid FOIA and manage Clinton Foundation donations and U.S. State Department business like weapons sales. Transfer of Uranium and other listed products from various prohibition lists.
We don't want either democrats or republicans to be doing that. McCain and Clinton - lock them both up, that's a great start. Then move on to plenty more. I am down with that. I don't care what party they are.
Again, as an independent it is incredible to me watching the Democrats self-immolate in yet another election this November with this failed strategy. There is no core democratic message. Not to labor, not to blacks, not to hispanics or women or any of their traditional bases. Bill Clinton had a message to everyone: it's the economy, stupid. Trump is actually playing a Bill Clinton card, and the stupid Democratic leadership has consistently risen in opposition to this winning Bill Clinton message.
It is probably too late for contrition over Trump-Russia. The Democrats bet on the wrong horse and as it gets closer to November guess who has all the power to release every page the FBI and CIA are concealing: Trump.
The problem with engaging on Trump-Russia is that the people arguing "collusion" clearly don't believe what they are trying to insinuate. The artful language of "collusion" instead of citing a crime. There is no crime called "collusion". Presidential candidates are expected to show a portfolio of direct experience with foreign countries and their major business/political figures. Really, this pretense is so peurile the peddlers can't be this stupid.
We've lost trillions on wars for Israel so if you are going to pick a power that deserves scrutiny, there you go. Saudi Arabia, my God why are we in league with Wahhabi head-choppers? Oh yea, because they shower money on our politicians and buy billions in weapons.
It is now over the wire on any Yemen War journal that we are once again on the side of Al Qaeda. These people killed three thousand Americans and were supposedly the whole reason for our endless War on Terror. The press has been screaming its silence over the war in Yemen and now it is out: because we are fighting alongside Al Qaeda. Again. It's the greatest humanitarian crisis on earth right now, as we fight for Al Qaeda, it has been for years, and it's silence.
Instead, it's Trump-Russia: this giant noise machine that the mockingbird media is dutifully putting on the front page every day. To take our attention off the long list of active crimes being committed. Drug and weapons ratlines. Nuclear fuel and technology. By both democrats and republicans. McCain and Clinton. The top two criminal syndicate figures, one a democrat and the other a republican.
Not only siding with Al Qaeda terrorists, but with their motherland, where the state religion is Wahhabism, the Al Qaeda brand. World record weapons sales to them. A prince assassinating, executing, and hanging relatives upside down to empty their pockets - he's put 20 million in imminent starvation in Yemen... I look at Trump-Russia and marvel at all the things that are concealed behind this stupid blaring microphone.
Why, if you hate Trump, are detractors not screeching "Trump-Al Qaeda"? Isn't that the perfect smear? He was with Al Qaeda in Syria and with Al Qaeda in Yemen!
And it is a real thing. We have been lying about fighting in Al Qaeda in Yemen, that this was the reason we were there. No, we are there fighting on
behalf of Al Qaeda and through Saudi Arabia.
If you don't suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, you can criticize Trump for all manner of things based upon first principles rather than a medical condition, lol.
Bombing Syria's military. Supporting the Saudis and especially the war in Yemen. Too much fealty to Israel. Friends is one thing, but servants no.
What the hell are we doing all over Africa too? We have bases in far over 100 countries and are shrieking about the one naval port Russia has in Syria. It isn't the pot calling the kettle black, but far more ridiculous.
The anti-Russia hysteria is bad on its own accord, not just as it pertains to Trump. It relies upon a facile extension of Communist USSR to Russia today. Nothing could be more stupid. Russia bears no resemblance to the USSR other than still being Russia. It is not communist with central planning and tens of millions sent to gulags. It is far behind world leader USA in jailing its own citizens, in fact.
We have immediate borders that are big problem areas. The drug violence on the border with Mexico has now extended to far more of the country. You don't hear much about it but it is getting worse.
If you are going to hurl about terms like "low-information voters" for people who have different opinions than you, then good luck in November. It's going to be another rout.
I said so over and over again approaching the last election. I couldn't believe my eyes. For how stupid it was. The democrats can't come out with a populist message because they've sold out to the bankers, the international corporations, to the billionaire elites.
For decades it was blue collar union workers as the core democrat constituency, and now the democrats make fun of them. Call them names. Because the democrats abandoned them for the money powers so in defense of themselves they frame labor as stupid, as dupes of Trump, ergo dupes of Russia.
I would not have been able to write fiction this asinine, really. For how to alienate a former base.
The DNC and congressional leadership, with the help of the media, has driven this Trump-Russia collusion train wreck right into Donald Trump's hands for the upcoming election. Instead of developing a message, a party platform that resonates with the populace, they chose a battle in a field where Trump has dominion. That's a violation of Sun Tzu there.
Dumb as dumb can be.
