Calm down people, Stop the insults or I will lock the thread.

Why lock the thread instead of punishing the posters insulting people?

I did.

Whoops, sorry then!

Wow, the hacks are out in force.

Well let's explore the example more. Let's say the suspicions were that I ran a huge child prostitution ring in fact. Let's say the investigation began about a year ago, less than that, and started because of happenstance and that a serious investigation only started happening a couple of months ago. Let's say that several of my associates have raised questions about me.

Shouldn't a massive investigation require time - including more than just several months? And shouldn't it be fully funded and fully staffed to either  clear my name or prosecute me?

If a fully funded investigation has been going on for months and has still found absolutely no evidence to back up these claims then maybe questions should be asked about whether such an investigation is justified.

As for 'clearing names' its not the job of an FBI or police investigation to 'clear' anybody's name. If they don't find evidence that can be given to a prosecutor and they stop investigating the that's it. 'Clearing' people is something done by courts, not by police or FBI.

As for your suggestion that this whole thing started by 'happenstance' that's highly doubtful. Much more likely that this has been a witch hunt from the very start.

You're are an amazing voice of reason. It's refreshing.

This site used to actually be a reasonable place for people to discuss politics and election strategies without the annoying 'bumper sticker' politics.

Now it's just bumper sticker politics.

Is that really true? This forum has ALWAYS been on the far-left side of the political spectrum.

Even the so-called "moderates" are rather center-left. The main website has always been a great repository of elections data. The maps and statistics are virtually unmatched by any resource anywhere. Yet for some reason, the forum attracts far more socialists and communists than right-wing conservatives.

The few conservatives here are constantly hounded, and consistently the subject of petitions to be banned. Anyone that doesn't toe the far-left line is ridiculed.

If you look at the self-reported political positions of the forum, and the predictions of said forum, you'd find something squarely in the mainstream.... of DailyKos or Democratic Underground.

Is it uncomfortable up on that cross?

Someone just reported one of my post.

I didn't violate any rules on this site.

They reported it because they didn't like my opinion.

Wasn't me, persecution complex boy

Behaving like a demented freak? Sure sounds like it.

SHS is roasting Democrats alive during her briefing today........lol. 

She looked like she wanted to throw herself off a cliff.

How? She's unable to reconcile the fact the President just undermined the Administration's rationale for firing Comey -- a rationale the vice president said yesterday.

Are we watching the same briefing?

Are you trolling? Lol

Grumps isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, and shouldn't be taken seriously

Let's take a step back and look at the history books of 2050. This is how this week will look.

This is the literal objective historical record.

No it isn't. There's no evidence that this was the reason for Comey's removal, just a lot of fevered speculation in the opposition media and from opposition politicians.

Except that's literally what his spokesperson said

[Doimper]

Comey is a strong patriot who is well aware of the classified material around Trump relating to his businesses and his Russian ties. I would imagine Comey will not let that die down easily. Neither will his allies in the FBI who feel he was pushed out.

Yepp. So it (as I said initially) is a really good news. Trump's acting resulted in the 'Russia ties' will get even more scrutiny!


The way Trump fired Comey is also very interesting. It was really awful, almost as Trump wanted Comey to react/start to leak. I hope we'll get soon much more new information (if there is something )

And now Trump is dropping a massive hint that there are "tapes" of the conversations with Comey. I suspect that Trump has been leading his oh so predicable opponents into a massive elephant trap.

Why are you so ecstatic about what is essentially witness intimidation?
