Senior Dem senators tell me they think Trump may have violated the Logan Act, which bars private citizens from interfering in fp.

Also...

Trump's "ask me anything" on Reddit last night was just a censorship disaster. Reddit kept it off the front page... and "the_donald" subreddit that hosted it banned hundreds of users that asked questions. Hilariously... that subreddit talks about being pro free speech... it's quite the opposite.

Just a bad situation all around. Nothing working for it.

Trump left out of Google search for presidential candidates | NBC4i.com

We found a technical bug in Search where only the presidential candidates participating in an active primary election were appearing in a Knowledge Graph result. Because the Republican and Libertarian primaries have ended, those candidates did not appear. This bug was resolved early this morning.” — Google Spokesperson

****ING AUTOCORRECT!!!! That has to be the reason.

They should blame Bush. It has worked for Obama for 8 years.

However, I don't click/link to Motherjones... so you can verify on your own if it's true. Given Trump's history of flipping, I'm guessing it's probably true.

This election comes down to one thing, Nationalism, versus Globalism.

Me, I'm all in for Nationalism, and sovereignty. Donald Trump is far from perfect, but he is the only candidate that will pull us away from the global power structure.

There's nothing wrong with patriotism. But I'm not a fan of Nationalism.

Welcome to the Dark Side. We have cookies.

I like that.

I've heard the audio. It's true.

So, Trump's just as bad as Hillary and makes **** up out of whole cloth to enhance what little reputation he has and the Trumpkins fall for it.

Hillary= Turn in your guns.
Trump= Keep your guns.

There's no falling for anything.

The Li'l Johnsons dont care about that.

In fairness:

Hillary says "turn in your guns".

Trump says "keep your guns."

Trump says the "right things".

What will he actually do? Well, he's pandered on many other issues. I honestly don't know if he'd sign anti-gun legislation or not. I honestly don't know if he will actually appoint constitution friendly judges.

The Li'l Johnsons dont care about that.

That's a fair point. Every time I hear Johnson speak about certain liberties, I don't see him light up as brightly about those as he does the issues he has in common with progressive liberals. I get the feeling that gun rights are pretty far down on his priority list from gay wedding cakes.

Apathetic Paul is apathetic.

If you like the Trump you have you can keep him...he guarantees it!

What the ****? This is not okay



Donald Trump Challenges Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails

Obviously you didn't watch the actual press conference. And instead went to the NYT? The bastion of unbiased political reporting?

lmfao....

So I should be opposed to a nation helping expose crimes of our candidates for president? I'm OK with that. Not my fault she's running for president and trying to get evidence of her crimes would influence the election. That's her fault.

I'm just trying to gain understanding here.

The logical extension of your post is that we should embrace Edward Snowden and Julian Assange as patriots and promoters of our nation.

I think you are a smart guy. I believe your heart is in the right place. We differ on the finer points of how to accomplish what is best for our country.

But I'm not OK with that.

I don't embrace them. But that doesn't mean I have to ignore the information we have now just because of how it was obtained.

Don't kill the messenger! It's painfully obvious that this is the only way to get "transparency" out of our corrupt administration. An administration that some on here are happy to let continue on, for lifetimes to come.

Snowden and Assange are necessary evils.

They do a lot of damage while doing a lot of good.

If the Justice Department signals, by its inaction, that we cannot count on them to pursue justice...then in my opinion, they're signaling "game on." This is their fault.
