I still drink vodka, play chess, and talk of politics with Russians and Ukranians... have taken classes from Estonians, and one or two of former best friends is Lithuanian. Remember, there is no shame in friendship, even if government would not approve for political reasons... Whether they be Russian, Cuban, or even Iranian...

Thats why I voted for Trump, but I do wonder whether even he can drain this swamp. Its deeper and wider than even he thought it would be. I do think its the last chance for the USA to last a little longer before we sink into Venezuelan socialism and go down for the count as Ayn Rand predicted.

Right, it's not looking out for you and not for me either. The people in it look out only for each other no matter what party they are in. They belong to the same country clubs, and their kids go to the same elite schools. They live behind gates and high walls and laugh at the rest of us.

One thing I am sure of/ the establishment is the swamp and it’s not looking out for me

Dare we hope. The governor of Arizona is a Republican, so I would imagine that he would appoint a Republican to take McCain's place if he were to resign. The new person certainly couldn't be any worse than McCain, but then you never know with the establishment in charge.

By all means.

Thank you.

Media satire? chuckle!

Delightful satire -- thank you!

That's what progressives do...use words opposite of what we know they mean and use words that Sound really bad...further dumbing us down into something worse than useless idiots...don't know what comes after that...dead?

I used "conspired", (conspiracy is it's connection), cause I remember the word being used during the Nixon Admin...

conspired would be harder to prove. colluded is more dark and hard to really get a handle on. but it sounds BAD

Yea...was never a word in my vocabulary either...not even as a writer...guess they didn't want to use the usual word because of it's connections: "CONSPIRED"!

to be honest, in all my years I have never heared people use the word collusion. It sounds terrible, and was probably dreamed up by some liberal political person to just make trump look bad

True...associated to anyone the liberal demon-crapic kakistocracy doesn't like.

I still occasionally lift weights with one or two Russians.

Keep that to yourself, please...

The Progressives Dims, Old Line Reps and the media have lost their minds. Their hatred knows no bounds. They have reach a point of mental breakdown.
Am I a Russian spy if I associate with Slavic Pagan Groups "From Russia" on the internet. My grandparents came from Poland and have a considerable dislike of the Germans and Russians at the beginning of the 20th century. I'm doing research on my ancestry and in ancient times the Rus were part of a large wave of Slavic tribes (including my ancestors-the Kashubs) from Eurasia (Black Sea territory).
I wonder if this insanity is going to extend to all peoples of Slavic descent, since they were all under Soviet(Russian) domination after WW2.
This has me really irked!
To paraphrase the narrator from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: (the Dims, Progressives incl: G. Soros and the Media), "....will be the first ones up against the wall when the Revolution comes".

God forbid I buy something from some Russian (associated with the russian government...)- that would be collusion.

I guess when I deal with anyone associated with OUR government, I would be guilty of collusion too (only if I were associated with Trump in some way)

No...that's Free Market Collusionism...that's OK...Laughing

No one complained that whatever was leaked from DNC and Hillary was incorrect. Therefore, I applaud whoever got the information that was supposed to be kept from us (and cost her the election) and just told us what she did and what happened. Anyway, I say to complain about hackers just means you havent done a good job of protecting your data. Blame the hackee, not the hacker !!

I am not so sure what COLLUSION actually is. If I go to buy something in a store, am I colluding with them. If I buy oranges from a street vendor, am I colluding with the farmer?

Maybe Mc Cain wont be with us much longer from what I read. He may never actually come back to the congress. Good riddance actually.

OMG, I read a Kaspersky ad, so I must be colluding with the russians too !!! What crap. We have more important things to be concerned with- AND whatever happened during the election is OVER AND DONE WITH- why dwell on it while our government goes deeper in debt with refugees we dont need, programs that are not working, healthcare that is a disaster?

Come to think about it, Robert's article needs to go out to every news organization to see who actually publishes it. Spread it around.

Oh, you mean like some might not have been able to tell just by seeing who authored it? Just kidding, of course.

The Trump team needs to flaunt fake and even some real (legal) connections with the Russians and all other foreign governments. "In Your Face" should become the new Trump Team motto, or just, "Show Me Where it Says I Can't Do That". Make it so extremely prevalent and so often that no one could possibly believe any of it is anywhere near true. Push the limits, make so much of it that the media can't even keep track. It's always worked perfectly for the Clintons, Bill & Hillary have flaunted the idea so many times of a whole bunch of their acquaintances just committing suicide for no justifiable reason, and hardly anyone has even looked into some of their other goings on. They don't even let any of the news about it slow them down at all. I cite the recent Haitian official, Klaus Eberwein, that just committed suicide before he could testify against their foundation. Now I wonder if anyone will even keep and eye on the Obama Foundation? After all he's got a different kind of pass than the Clintons have. He could really rip off the world completely open and get away with it.

What a great country we're developing into. I would still hope Trump could actually get us turned around, maybe even in his second term. If anyone agrees, we've got to start campaigning now. Ignore the nonsense and start broadcasting the progress. I've still got one aunt (my age) that still has her head up her , well let's just say she still hates Trump, but I still think I can turn her and her family with facts. She lives in Michigan, her husband worked in the auto industry, her son is a teacher. But she stutters a lot more today.
