In reply to the discussion: Trump authorizes release of controversial Republican memo [View all]ResIpsa
(212 posts)Rep. Gaetz(R) of the Judiciary Committee, said on CNN, or MSNBC that he thinks, "It's great bc it gets the information into the public square for all to see and debate..." But, no word on DTs taxes being released, and Don Jr. and Bannon, can give nonsensical reasons for not giving answers to Congress. (attorney-client privilege etc.). We want ALL of it in the public square please. P.S...we're paying you guys to run these hearings...and we're paying you. ( By the way, how was the retreat this week? Hope it was worth it because some Americans died enroute. Any of you at their funerals? Did you guys work on the budget? Something tells me no. More like getting your stories straight, and info about donors for the next election cycle. Drinking and eating good food. R+R, Etc.) Good grief.
I think this memo is a fishing expedition to start a discussion. So DTs lawyers can see what evidence they have against DT and his minions who are being indicted or prosecuted or investigated. Not to mention, to give your 'palskies' in Soviet Intel a look behind the curtain of our intelligence gathering. A sworn enemy of the U.S.A who we've shed blood and treasure to defend against. That battle has been going on since 1945, and it'll be going on tomorrow. (But....they have the goods on you and your kin don't they? Humble group you's.) That's not insignificant at all to me. Real Patriots this bunch. I'll be rooting for the Eagles based on that sentiment alone. Symbolic? Oh yes.
I thought all these things like the FISA Court were there to protect us from terrorism etc.? (Or have we been absolved of that fear as well now due to DTs "leadership"?) If so, maybe it's time for the Patriot Act too, considering it sure locked down a lot of Americans freedoms and inalienable rights. Those granted under the 4th, and 1st, and 14th jump right out initially. In for a penny...in for a pound. It's all or nothing, imho. We sure grew government with The Dept. of Homeland Defense....maybe we can save a bundle by going back to the days when we are safe enough not to need all those folks as well? DT is really really getting the job done eh? That's the message he's sending, he alone is all we need. Trust him. God help us.
Respective to all of that,....get your hands off our taxpayer developed internet. Who made you the 'lords of our internet?' Net neutrality=more censorship and more dumbing down of our society....and by the way..."pay more for less' while you're at it right? I want my $1.00 box of lightbulbs back please. You know, market freedom. No regulations...Get out of here man.
This release is also meant to piggy-back on the Super Bowl Coverage for headlines and discussion. (In my opinion.) 'Lets all talk about the Super Bowl....and DT.' Yawn. I thought they didn't want politics mixed with their entertainment? Better not be any kneelers out there or all next week we can talk about Pences hurt feelings...because Jesus would've said stand up right? Get lost.
I long for the days when we hired our government officials and they went away and did THE PEOPLES WORK, and didn't need to have the entire news cycle about themselves. Is nothing else happening in the world that we can hear about? My eyes hurt from reading the "kyron" for news that effects me. I for one, don't want politics on my news 24/7..(news that I PAY to see now that tv signals aren't free anymore....Has anyone seen my antennae? Thanks G.O.P/Bush)...isn't that why we have CSAPN(s)?
With any luck it adds to Mr. Muellers conclusions that the President will throw any U.S. institution or civil servant, under the bus to protect his sorry behavior, the rest of the 340 million of us be damned. Real presidential. It has to begin to end soon. Mr. Mueller, how about the first charges Monday morning? It's time. We the majority support you, the FBI, the CIA, DHS, DNI, on and on...thanks for keeping us safe and doing your jobs. (Army, Navy, Air Force , and Marines included) NO MORE SOVIET CASUALTIES. We're far better and smarter than Putin, The Russians...and all the trolls and bots in between.
'The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few....or the one.' May we ALL live long and prosper...like the 1%. Have a good weekend DU'ers. (Please excuse typos, spelling etc. I'm old.)
