It's Time. Just Say It-- "Trump Did NOT Collude With The Russians"

a reply to: IAMTAT

Here are the stages Robert Deniro and the rest of the left are going through who believed the lies from the Russians and Steele, a foreign agent who stated he wanted to affect the U.S. elections.

Denial



Grief



The next one should be...

BTW... Lindsay Graham is against making the Mueller Report public. And Senate leader Mitch McConnell just officially blocked making it public.

Democrats and MSM are beyond LIVID now!

They're baiting the Democrats with world class moves now 😎

Goldfish on the hooks instead of minnows 😎

Democrats will take the bobbers all the way to the bottom now 😆


"I admit I was once a Democrat"

a reply to: IAMTAT

They don't live in reality. While a few are waking up, CNN is attempting a shift in the narrative to keep them hooked. You see, trump's campaign was approached by russians (read FBI) and declined their advances. BUT he didn't turn them in to the FBI. So obviously he's a traitor moron idiot who hates america and wants to destroy it.

Unfortunately the Communists and Socialists will never admit they are wrong. But now that this is over-with it is time to look at Hillary, Obama and the rest of the anti-Americans.
I suggest a 2019 version of the House on Un-American Activities (HUAC)
. It drove the Communists underground for 50 years. Time for that again!

A better one for end game would a gif of White Goodman eating and flipping channels at the end of Dodgeball.

I spent more time with CNN and MSNBC on in the background today than I'd care to admit.

The same arguments were presented nearly word for word by multiple different people on both networks.

Here's what I have gleaned:

1. "This was only one investigation. There are other investigations. Mueller couldn't indict anyway. It's up to Congress"

2. "Barr is hand picked by the President. He only took 2 days to decide on obstruction. Obvious the fix is in"the

3. "Just because they don't have enough to nail him with a criminal complaint doesn't !ean he isn't guilty !"

4. "This isn't a criminal investigation anyway. It's counter-intelligence."

5. "We need to see the full report. Barr might be lying about the report. We still haven't heard from Mueller"



There's a lot of words floating out there, but they all seem to boil down to these 5 in general.

Andrea Mitchel on MSNBC, for whom I normally have respect, today was really trying too hard to throw her network's far-left demographic a bone in order to make sure they keep watching....

Earlier today she asked the person she was interviewing this (paraphrasing a little, but this is the gist of it):

"Many legal experts say that a person needs to have committed a crime for them to be charged with obstruction of justice. So is it possible that President Trump committed so much obstruction that there was no way Mueller could find any collusion, and thus not be able to charge him with obstruction?"

Really, Andrea? You're better than that.

That''s just another way of saying "we can't find evidence of a crime, but that might only be due to his criminal activity being so overwhelmingly all-pervasive that that he did such a good job of covering it up." I mean, c'mon now.

As I said in other posts on other threads, I'm not a Trump supporter (I'm a centrist who's relatively liberal on social issues, but the far far left still bother me), but I feel some of these news outlets need to give this a break. I realize they want TV ratings, and I realize that MSNBC is afraid of losing many of the far-left viewers who make up a large part of their ratings demographic, but to engage in such wild speculation is just so unbecoming of a real journalist.

I know it was just a question, but I bet MSNBC strategically put that question out there on purpose so their ultra-left base so they could potentially rally around such wild speculation and had some reason to keep watching MSNBC . They know that ratings demographic will eat that stuff up.

Just curious.

Has anyone owned up and apologized yet?

a reply to: InTheLight

That is accurate, and it's also accurate of every single other country that means anything on the world stage. They hack us, we hack them, they hack one another, it's not new and it's not going to stop. If any of the intelligence bureaus of this country changed their hiring practices out of the 1950's, paid a decent wage, and actually provided perks above and beyond what can be found in the private sector then they might have a better chance of stopping them as they happen. As it stands right now they outsource that capability to several private firms, who realize cyber security professionals for the most part don't show up in a suit, they don't work for peanuts, and various other requirements.

That being said, the president as of the scope of the investigation had nothing to do with any of this.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Still in denial while the MSM is scrambling for talking points. It's not looking good on either front.

a reply to: Box of Rain

I feel most of the day was exactly that. Giving the audience something to cling to and also salvaging something from having spent two years talking about it as though it was fact. That way they don't lose the momentum they need to keep steamrolling the congressional investigations. If the wheels fall off now before they get started, they won't be able to drag this into the election cycle.

So far the only left-leaning posters making real contributions in here are the ones who are likely to have been skeptical of the collusion story and the press's handling of it a long time ago, and thus, don't really need to be apologizing for it.

They're like those of us who watched things unfold with Obama's birth certificate. Did we like Obama? Is there a tiny corner in our minds that might have wished it was true? Probably, but were we openly and vociferously and obnoxiously shouting all day and every day about how Obama was going down because of his birth certificate? No ... because we knew it was nothing more than the sort of pipe dream you engage in over a few too many drinks.

Reality is a far different animal.

Well lookie here. Wonder what Brennan is afraid of?

Former CIA chief John O. Brennan now says his months of attacks on President Trump may have been based on “bad information.”

One of the president’s harshest critics had a muted tone on Monday as he discussed special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” No evidence was found to support the claim that Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign “conspired or coordinated” with Russia.

“Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” Mr. Brennan told host Joe Scarborough. “I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election.”

Was just looking to quote that. Lol. What a scumbag.

a reply to: The GUT

Agreed, and Brennan is clearly a hack and should spend the same amount of time on an apology tour as he spent on his witch hunt "crucify Trump" display... but I will say this...

At least he is apologizing and accepting reality for what it is

He isn't the average voter, and as former CIA director he damn well should have known better. But he is a private citizen now so his apology has to at least count for something

Not giving Brennan a pass by any stretch, just wanted to point out the relative rarity of statements like that

People like that... have to believe there is at least hope for someone who can bring themselves to admit to the very human mistake of rushing to judgement and confirmation bias

Anyhow, I am probably just rambling have been reading responses from the fringes of the left and it has left me feeling rather cynical today. Perhaps it is just remembering Hillary's big mistake of insulting Trump voters as deplorables and thinking that we alienate an entire block of voters at our own peril. There are a lot of Dems in the DNC just as fed up with their party, identity politics and the direction it has taken (a lurch to the left, socialism being treated as a legitimate alternative to capitalism, etc) and independents who will punish them come 2020

I never thought he did. Not even once. I'm still ashamed to have him as the man who represents this country. He's a buffoon. Spoiled toddler, orange snowflake.

Oh you guys.

So serious about your stuff.

Just adorable.

Yeah......the whole Russian Collusion thing was just a harmless prank by the Left. We should just be laughing about what a good joke it was. Right?

The Funny part is the Left still believes it even with Mueller, the "Savior of our Democracy", telling them iys a nothing burger.

It's okay to just admit it...confession being good for the soul, and all that.
Donald J. Trump DID NOT collude with the Russians.
THAT is REALITY...as stated by Special Council, Robert Mueller the third.

You know things are bad when the New York Times describes the deep hurt and despair anti-Trumpers are feeling today.

a reply to: carewemust

The absolute denial is astounding. They don't believe it. They really think the AG and DAG (the man who appointed mueller) are lying about the reports findings. I guess it should be expected that they need to go through the stages of grief after losing the entirety of their narrative in one weekend.

"DONALD TRUMP DID NOT COLLUDE WITH THE RUSSIANS...HE HAS BEEN VINDICATED."

I still think he probably did though
