Whatt???????????????????????????????????

The truth isn't hyperbole. The FBI has reason to believe that Trump is just that. Sorry if the truth hurts but the first step in recovery is to admit you have a problem.

Thats just it---the FBI has absolutely NO evidence of Trump doing what you claim. In fact, Mueller's indictments offer a road map of what wrong doing he DID find evidence of.

And---just food for thought---When might we expect a new special prosecutor to begin investigating Chuck and Nancy for being "assets" of the Mexican government as they are clearly promoting the interests of a foreign power over the safety and security of the American people? Surely--based on your comments--- you will be in favor of such an investigation.

You realize you're trying to convince someone that has an unwillingness to be reasonable and engage in a conversation. It's just "You guys are morons". "Here's some random guy on twitter explaining it." "You guys are brainwashed." "Mueller has proof of blah blah blah." And provides nothing to back up any of this claims that would count as a reasonable source. He's devolved to the same level and engaged in the same tactics that he claims Russian's Bots engaged in.

At this point NONE of Mach's threads have any valid use. They're simply tools for him to post information that has been proven false, make random false claims. Post links that argue against his own point, and generally argue with people.

Unless my understanding was wrong... the point of threads in this forum are for discussion. There is no discussion with Mach, it's a flood of denials, false claims and name calling anyone who doesn't agree with him.

What's the point of these threads if there can be no discussion, and why are they allowed to subsist?

So he can quietly prove he's being paid by Putin while denying it?


Cause it’s free entertainment and some of the best comedy schtick I’ve seen or read since Richard Pryor?

No one, anyone, PLEASE don’t get him banned or suspended at this stupendous time.

The Final Mach Down with the release of the Bueller “report” of nothingness is gonna be cant miss TV.

Up there with the last episode of the Sopranos

Let’s just sit back, relax, and let it unfold. I’m stocking popcorn already. Gonna be GOOOOOOD!!!

IBD is not known for being right leaning. Opinion piece that DOJ committed crimes.
"It's now beyond any reasonable doubt that Obama administration minions launched an all-out effort to destroy, first, President Trump's presidential campaign and, when that failed, his presidency. The only question is, knowing the truth, will the Justice Department charge these people with crimes?...

Yet, as the Times itself admitted, virtually "no evidence" existed for such a charge.

Such actions are illegal, an attempt by supposedly nonpartisan government employees to subvert the 2016 presidential election. Bureaucrats attempting to veto the legitimate will of the people.

Ironically, these extra-legal machinations posed a far greater direct threat to our democracy than anything Trump allegedly did. And yet the perpetrators still walk free. They make hundreds of thousands of dollars on the lecture circuit and as talking heads on TV....

We find ourselves in complete agreement with The Federalist's Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway. She wrote: "Using the completely lawful and constitutional firing of the bumbling Comey as pretext for opening a criminal investigation into the president is a grand abuse of power by the FBI. Attempting to overtake the authority to determine U.S. foreign policy from the lawfully determined president of the United States is a violation of the U.S. Constitution."

Crimes Of The Deep State
Yes, these are crimes. And not minor ones. The real collusion, it turns out, was by the FBI, the Justice Department, the CIA and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Not Trump and the Russians.

By the way, our own IBD/TIPP Poll this month shows Americans mostly believe that to be true. In the poll, 51% agreed the Mueller investigation is an attempt to delegitimize the 2016 election. And they're right about that.

With the House now in the hands of far-left Democrats, we can expect no calls for investigations of this egregious behavior. Justice should investigate these crimes and those who committed them. And start prosecuting."

Y


Ouch!

And as you say IBD is no right winger leaning publication.

Should be good once Barr (sic?) gets in there, a real shame Sessions was MIA and let all this unfold before his very eyes cause he was at some RNC convention reception with a ROOOSKIE!!! In attendance.

Likely go down as the biggest disappointment in his life. He completely botched that part of his job.

Can’t wait to find out how deeeeep in these weeds the sniveling Rosenstien was involved.
Start convening the Grand Juries. I’ll grab the snack mix and juice boxes.

RE: FBI investigating Trump as a Russian asset.
One thing has me continually confused.

Why hasn't Trump turned the tables and led a full on investigation into the liberal operatives promoting this false Russia narrative? Some have been fired, yes, but I am looking along the lines of a special investigator into the Democrat arranged Russia lie? And jail time and professional censor of these liars?

Could be he needed time to determine who is deep state and who isnt, as well as get an actual AG put in place. He appointed Rosenstein, who turned out to be deep state. You dont want a deep state person to run that investigation, else it will end up like Comey handling the Clinton Crimes.

IBD is not known for being right leaning.

WRONG

RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Factual Reporting: MIXED
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 45/180

History

Founded in 1984 by entrepreneur and stockbroker William O’Neil, Investors Business Daily (IBD) is a conservative American newspaper and website covering the stock market, international business, finance and economics. In March, 2016, IBD became a weekly publication that focuses more on digital operations. The publication continues to use the Investor’s Business Daily name as it continues to publish daily on its website. Although IBD mostly reports on economics and finance they also allow lobbyists and PR reps for right wing think tanks like the Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute to write pseudo-scientific propaganda.

Funded by / Ownership

IBD is owned by Investors Business Daily Inc and is funded through advertising, subscriptions and investment product sales.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Investors Business Daily primarily reports on economics, markets and investing. They also report on politics, especially through their editorial section with a very strong right wing bias. There is moderate use of loaded language in their articles that significantly favors the right, such as this: Democratic Socialism: Who Knew That ‘Free’ Could Cost So Much? For the most part IBD sources their market information to credible mainstream and government websites, however they occasionally utilize factually mixed sources such as the Daily Signal.

Investors Business Daily strays from the consensus of science in regards to climate change and they have made outrageous and false claims, such as Stephen Hawking would be dead if he lived under England’s Government health care system. This is a false propaganda statement as Stephen Hawking is a citizen of the UK and lives there. Hawking claims the British Healthcare system saved his life and kept him alive to old age.

A factual search reveals numerous failed fact checks by IFCN fact checkers. Here are a few of the many we found:

IBD editorial board claims that cap-and-trade is unpopular in America – FALSE
Private health insurance not banned on page 16 of the House bill – PANTS ON FIRE
Investor’s Business Daily editorial misrepresents study to claim plants will prevent dangerous climate change – FALSE
Was it recently revealed that the U.S. found uranium in Iraq after the invasion in 2003 – FALSE
Overall, we would rate Investors Business Daily Right Biased based on right leaning economic and market positions. We would also give them a High factual rating on strictly investing and market news. However, editorially IBT is clearly a Questionable source with promotion of right wing conspiracy theories and numerous failed fact checks.

In sum, we rate them far right biased and Mixed for factual reporting. (6/14/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 8/14/2018)

I posted 20 odd things that were very suspicious. Nobody in here has been able to refute any of it. How about Trump confiscating the notes from his interpreter? No one else in the room?

That's evidence, not speculation or allegation or innuendo.

What you don't realize is that this is much more likely a more common practice than you know. Only the MSM has told you its proof of collusion cause "Orange Man Bad", and now you're toting the water.

So you think it is OK to make public a private conversation with the leader of the USA and the leader of another country? Really? Why would any other leader meet with the President after that? It's not like Trump told Putin's lackey "Tell Vlad I'll have more flexibility after the election" or anything. You along with every media mouthpiece in the country would be calling for his impeachment if he was overheard saying that for sure.

He does that with every world leader he meets.
He did that with North Korea, he did that with China, he did that with the UK, He did that with Germany.

Trump always meets with leaders one on one. That's not a conspiracy.

ABC already talked about this: (jump to 8:30)






You're arguing that 'speaking privately' = 'collusion'. That's nonsense.
