The hypocrisy of the ________
 

I deliberately left the end blank so this can be a bipartisan discussion. It doesn't have to be about politics either, let's talk about the hypocrisy of anybody you feel is worthy.

For instance, the hypocrisy of the right, in that when Obama is president, every single major bill passed the main argument was about adding to the deficit. But now that Congress and our President is Republican, adding another tril to the deficit for the tax bill is just a necessary thing we have to do for some tax breaks.

Just so Chico doesn't think this is another excuse to attack the poor innocent right wingers, I also thought it would be interesting to discuss Rose McGowan's attacks on her fellow Hollywooders like [URL="https://www.thedailybeast.com/rose-mcgowan-calls-out-alyssa-milano-for-supporting-weinstein-ex-georgina-chapman"]Alyssa Milano[/URL] and [URL="https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/rose-mcgowan-slams-meryl-streep-over-harvey-weinstein/ar-BBGpkVf?li=BBnb2gh"]Meryl Streep[/URL]. Seems she's not cool with Milano/Streep feigning outrage about Weinstein when Weinstein's soon-to-be ex-wife got on board with him for the money and the connections, and supposedly they knew about all the allegations.

sarah silverman (who I love, but has really turned into a snowflake fruit loop) using Judaism as the reason she feared an ex-boy who flew the US flag....but then failing to acknowledge this country and the tens of thousands who marched under the US flag to end a genocide which nearly ended Judaism in Europe. Without that flag and this country, all of Europe would be speaking German.

Re: The hypocrisy of the ________
 

There is way too much hypocrisy in all walks of life to narrow it to one political agenda, or point of view. The biggest problem of hypocrisy is that the hypocrit of any particular subject can't see his/her hypocrisy likely until it's way in hindsight IF ever.

That said, I will acknowledge I am a hypocrit when it comes to Trump's agenda versus the idiocy that is Trump. In my opinion, this country's future is at stake when it comes to agendas of Sanders/Clinton/Swamp republicans, so I will condemn them in anyway I can, while supporting Trump's agenda. and yes that is the definition of hypocrisy. C'EST LA GUERRE

You know what....its time to get woke bout the Mueller investigation...and his team.

While Im a fan of Mueller, his team is politically biased and has tainted the investigation. At this point, probably time to stop the investigation and actually investigate the research and research-ies.

[url]https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/12/fbi-agents-trump-mueller-texts-294156[/url]

Of course you have to dig deep to find this information because national media isn't reporting it. Doesn't fit the narrative. key issues:

"The central figure in both probes is FBI agent Peter Strzok. Strzok helped conduct the sweetheart interviews of Clinton, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin in the email investigation, in which the latter two blatantly lied about their knowledge of the bootleg server. They were not charged. Strzok also changed then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft language on Clinton’s use of her illicit server from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” which is the difference between criminal behavior and an unconscious error.

Strzok promoted the Fusion GPS “Steele dossier,” the sketchy gossip-ridden anti-Trump document paid for by the Clinton campaign and compiled with input from Russian intelligence sources. "


"A series of text messages exchanged between top FBI employees referring to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump as an "idiot" and "d*uche," while fearing his potential victory as "terrifying," were released to lawmakers Tuesday evening on Capitol Hill amid increasing demands to see them, according to documents reviewed by CNN.

Earlier this month, reports surfaced that special counsel Robert Mueller had removed Peter Strzok, one of the FBI's top Russian counterintelligence experts, from his team after an internal investigation by the Justice Department's inspector general uncovered politically tinged messages exchanged with FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

Throughout the primary season in 2016, Strzok and Page appeared to dread a Trump victory, according to the messages reviewed by CNN."



So this is an unbiased investigation?

This investigation is clearly biased... Mueller gotta lotta plaining to do. Consider yourself officially "WOKE" :)

Re: The hypocrisy of the ________
 

The beauty of a criminal investigation is that once it goes to trial, actual evidence is what determines if a person is guilty or not. Was Strzok corrupted by personal bias? Yes, but unless the game plan was to use Strzok's testimony in court that Trump is an incompetent boob, it's not going to make a difference. This whole case is contingent upon evidence that Trump/co. colluded with Russians. So they will either need someone from that circle to flip and testify (like Flynn perhaps) and/or they will need actual evidence, let's say bank accounts, phone records, video of them meeting up, etc. to prove they committed a crime.

What are you asking for, a totally non-partisan team of investigators to investigate? LOL we might as well shut the investigation down then.

As the old saying goes, what are you afraid of? If you don't have anything to hide, you're in the clear.

This. Evidence should be what wins the day. I hate Donald Trump more than anyone on this planet, and I would actually work damn hard to find something concrete. If I didn't find something, then hey, I'm just a guy who hates Trump. If I did, whatever, the proof is still in the delicious, delicious pudding.

Sorry, and I know it's tit for tat, and old news, and all that crap, BUT when in one investigation Abedin lied about the email servers in an interview with the biased FBI investigator and that's NOT obstruction of justice or worthy of charging her with lying to the FBI as determined by the acknowledged biased investigator, and then Flynn lied about a legal activity (contacting Russia as staff of the President elect), to the same investigator and IS charged, then I think it's reasonable to question if the investigator acted in bad faith, and the "facts" received are somehow tainted.

[quote]In the Clinton case, the Daily Caller reported that FBI documents show Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills told investigators they were not aware of Clinton’s email server until after Clinton left the State Department. However, released emails show Abedin and Mills discussing the server long before Clinton left the State Department. The two were both interviewed by Strzok and never faced criminal prosecution.

On the other hand, Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, was charged with lying to the FBI last week for dishonest statements he gave in an interview with the FBI on Jan. 24. Strzok was the agent who interviewed him[/quote]

True, hence why he was removed from his job and demoted. And fortunately for you, he wasn't in a position to decide whether or not to bring charges anyways. So if all he brought to the table was corrupt bullshit, you are saying you don't have faith in Mueller that he could correctly decide whether that evidence would be admissible in court. Nor do you have faith that a pro-Republican Congress could look at that same evidence and determine whether it's admissible or not. This case is not going to built on his testimony. I bet Flynn will be the star witness, most likely along intercepts from Russia and other circumstantial bits and pieces used to tie it together.

I said before, if a majority Republican house sees the evidence and votes to impeach, or if the Supreme Court upholds the removal from office, I will abide by that.

But it's interesting, how many cases Baltimore just threw out on the basis of fake evidence by biased cops. The question is could a clearly biased investigator either by omitting evidence that clears or allowing patently false evidence (Steele Dossier) into the record, sway a case to a false end?

I think so...

The beauty of it is that it's a team of investigators, so if one of them deliberately withheld evidence you'd like to assume there would be enough checks and balances in place to ensure it's not passed over. Additionally, in light of the fact he was removed for bias, you would also assume they are going over all his contributions to make sure they didn't miss anything, especially because it's going to be heavily scrutinized in court.

well Politifact has this to say (before the removal of Stroetz (sp))


[quote]
Duffy says Mueller "has brought in Democrat campaign donors at a very high level" on his team of lawyers.

[B]Six of the 15 lawyers who have been publicly identified have not made campaign contributions to any political campaigns at the federal level. But among the lawyers who did make contributions, a total of $62,043 went to Democrats and $2,750 to Republicans, according to the special counsel’s office.[/B]

As for a Democratic bias in the investigation, Duffy doesn’t specifically make that charge. But Mueller himself is a longtime Republican. And he is prohibited from choosing lawyers based on political affiliations.

For a statement that is partially accurate, our rating is Half True.

[/quote]
So there is some level of affiliation bias likely in the team. I hope they are setting it aside, and if facts of guilt do come out, I hope they aren't concealed by classified or other bureacratic red tape. IF Trump did somehow collude with the Russians illegally then he should be gone.

BUT, so far what we KNOW is that the DNC run by HC funded the creation of a false dossier with the HELP OF THE RUSSIANS through an intermediary, AND that the FBI at the encouragement of a now exposed biased investigator [U]may have[/U] used that fraudelent document to WIRETAP Hillary Clinton's opponent (Trump)'s team in the election.

So forgive me, if I am not seeing charges Trump but I do see a case for charges against Clinton, SURE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WAS IN THOSE DELETED EMAILS.

So far Mueller has not presented any factual basis for any charges against Trump.

For now the facts that are coming out, bias investigator, a team with a minimum of 8 democratic partisans including one who defended the Clinton foundation, proven facts that documents were deleted and lied with no charges filed, about all point to a less then unbiased fact finding mission.

There is proof of bias, in that the FBI Investigator was demoted and reprimanded. How far that bias went, we don't know.

As to your timeline link, 6 events happen in the timeframe of the primaries and the 2016 election. None of which points to anything close to illegal, Although a VK page would be a stupid move for any Republican candidate. (Surprised Hillary didn't though cutesy wink ;) )


Some are from before [U]Pres Obama[/U] was elected.

The rest occur once Trump is President Elect.

NONE of your timeline is illegal in terms of Trump's actions, and the charges that were filed so far are procedural (I understand that is part of trying to get the big fish).

BUT, Huma did lie to the FBI and was not charged. Hillary DID takeover the DNC and rig the Democratic Primaries. Hillary and the DNC did pay for the Russian portion of the Steele Dossier. A democratic leaning investigator who feels like you do about Trump WAS dismissed from the investigation.

I have stated that IF Trump is convicted in the Senate, and that conviction stands, or if he resigns like Nixon, I will accept that.

Yes. I do have faith in the investigation team and if they find Flynn was acting on his own behalf then so be it.

However, I also believe because Flynn was in a leadership position on the transition team, he was also acting on Trump/Trump Jr's/Kushner's behalf. If he wasn't doing anything illegal, he wouldn't have been charged, and also pled guilty.

TBH, I find this discussion semi-pointless because obviously the investigation hasn't concluded yet. Why rush them? If there's nothing to hide, they will eventually come to that conclusion, and there's nothing to fear. So sit back, and let them come to that conclusion. The FBI isn't the judge and jury here, and I doubt a Republican majority in Congress is going to do anything unless they have some damn solid proof this was an organizational effort to collude with Russia.

CR, I agree with Mooby ...to a point.Yes there is a very god chance all these others were doing what they did for trump and there wasn't any collusion but you said something about resigning like Nixon. You do realize Nixon was never part of the original Watergate investigation right,he got nailed in the cover up of it and I (IMPO) think trump will get nailed the same way.Mueller team is honest and I believe will find proof that many more of trumps underlings are dirty.Remember that is what trump does,he requires an oath of allegiance to him and will throw anyone he can under the bus.

My question to Chico and CR,you believe there is bias in the investigation and the media ....everywhere,what about a jury? How do you suppose we make sure there is no bias on the jury,regardless of bias by whomever a jury must decide on actual facts ,correct? The trumplings that have been snagged all have admitted to their wrong doing,what bias is there in that?

There's no reason to put this article out unless you want the American public knowing lawmakers are actually questioning Trump's ability to handle the job. What is there to gain by releasing this article? We all know Trump isn't going to be removed from office for his tweets, no matter what he says. Even if Trump's physical goes bad, and it comes out that he subsists on a diet of Twinkies and Big Macs, nothing is going to come of it. It's probably easier to prove that he colluded with Russians than proving he doesn't have the mental capacity to handle the office.

This was a pretty big shit move if you ask me. Don't even have the decency to tell workers ahead of time. Shame on Wal-Mart generally I think they do a lot right .[/quote]

Sorry double post.

Re: The hypocrisy of the ________
 

I still don't get mainstream news media.

Even as they push the Russian Collusion/Obstruction of Justice fake news, they headline an article that has as it's main thesis:
[quote]Even as his intelligence chiefs unanimously told a Senate panel Tuesday that Russia meddled in 2016 and is planning to do so again in 2018, three sources familiar with the President's thinking say he remains unconvinced that Russia interfered in the presidential election.[/quote]

the leap in logic gives me a headache. I think it goes like this:
1) Trump colluded with Russia during election - impeach him
2) ok, maybe he didn't but he tried to obstruct justice by asking Comey to go easy on Flynn for lying to the FBI (you know, like Comey did with HC) -- Definitely Nixonian IMPEACH him
3) and not only that, but he is so dumb he doesn't believe that Russians tried to interfere with the elections (even though he COLLUDED with them) -- Amendment 25 him

The hoops that the left is going through, with 0 tangible evidence, is dumbfounding. Republicans had far more then this, even with the FBI in HC's corner, and the left called it a witch hunt.

This whole episode is as bad as KC's contract stuff. People are intransigent in their belief in their "rightness".

I think I am going to drive myself bipolar because nearly every night I flip between Hannity and Rachel Maddow. Both state their cases with such passion, it's amazing. When it comes to the end, whichever way it ends, I hope this country can come together, but it's hard to believe that can happen at this point.

Our most dear ally Germany is committed to NATO's spending agreements, someday.

[QUOTE] Chancellor Angela Merkel says Germany is committed to the NATO target of spending [B]2 percent[/B] of a country’s gross domestic product on defense, but is realistic about reaching it.

Merkel on Friday underlined Germany’s plan to [B]reach 1.5 percent by 2024[/B].[/QUOTE]
emphasis mine - in today's dollars, a 1/2 percent of Germany's GDP (2017 - $3.686trillion) is about $18 Billion dollars, over the next 6 years that about $104B shortfall at a minimum, and it's a lot more than that, since she is "hoping" to make it to 1.5 by 2024

And some wonder why I'm not upset at Trump calling out our allies. Asking them to treat us as a fair partner shouldn't be seen as being the culprit.

Just because we are allies, doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't call them out when they are practicing uneven policies, or not living up to their stated agreements.
