(3,608 posts)Why not go with that thinking until events prove otherwise? To me I would think this memo is just more attempts to obstruct justice...not to mention it is fundamentally flawed. Let the vetting of the memo begin !

(1,020 posts)Will want to see the Dem rebuttal, and will wonder why the GOP will not allow the Dem rebuttal to be released.
When was the last time a SOTU address was made without a rebuttal? Don't you think that would provoke outrage?
The only peeps who won't be upset are the fundagelicals.

Stone seems interchangeable with Page, for some reason.

(45,806 posts)Conman seems to be eliminating anybody linked to this investigation, one by one, and he only has Rosenstein to go. Then no one's left to get to Mueller.

(6,973 posts)Are we sure that our votes will be collected and counted fairly by thuglicans?
Are we sure our votes won't be purged off of voting rolls by God knows WHO?
What will the ruling concerning gerrymandering in Wisconsin be from the Supreme Court in head of the 2018 elections? (5-4 thuglican leaning Court).
We KNOW that the ruskies will have free reign in whatever they decide to do where interference into our elections are concerned.
Do you trust THIS Department of Homeland Security?
Do you trust beauguard?
Our voting machines CAN be hacked with success.

(6,973 posts)I have friends who STILL don't get it. Who don't understand that we're in trouble concerning thuglicans who are continuing to gut our voting rights. Stop our votes from being collected/counted fairly. They still don't get that ruskie interference never stopped. Some keep telling me that I'm being TOO pessimistic. TOO negative. Telling me to hold onto hope because of what's happened in Virginia and in other special elections where Dems picked up seats. They tell me instead of worrying so much, get out there, mobilize and get folks registered to vote. They tell me that IF we, the resistance, vote in huge numbers ....overwhelm THEM, "they" can't get rid of all of our votes. I mean, they don't seem to get that thuglicans can and will adjust for cheating windage and purge, voter-cross check, voter ID, gerrymander and make votes "go missing" to KEEP thuglicans in power of the Senate and House and of course the presidency in 2020: Assuming we even HAVE a GE in 2020

(1,907 posts)I would ask you to explain how one tv talking head is responsible for us not being under Russias thumb, but Ill spare you the agony of trying to justify that ridiculous claim.
bigtree
(85,977 posts)...that's what you're really asking.
Rachael is a prominent part of the resistance. Her impact is as evident and potentially influential as the forces working to silence and discredit media sources unfavorable to the president. It works much like governmental politics does. Her show is an effective public lobby against the corruption occurring.
I wasnt asking that.
The quote is Without her we'd be under Russia's thumb!
I mean, just look at that. Its absurd.
bigtree
(85,977 posts)...looks more like an acknowledgement of the power of the press.
Maddow does her part, most often leading the way with groundbreaking reporting and diligent efforts to track events and inform her viewers. I don't want to even imagine the state of television reporting without her, without others like her. I could see the collapse of the press very much determining how much influence Russia has in America.
...but, you go on and do your little thing.

(190 posts)First, you tell me what I was supposedly really asking about (I wasnt), now youre twisting yourself up like pretzel over some alleged true meaning of the statement.
This was only mildly interesting when it originally came up. It was a dumb statement by a super-fan, and Ill leave it at that.

(37,748 posts)I can understand your frustration in others allowing themselves additional perspectives and opinions originating from various sources.
I can only sympathize with the myopic and undisciplined sentiment that doing so is in fact, not thinking for oneself.
Seems almost hysterical in thought... which might lend itself to irony, as that is the very thing you indict "talking heads" with.
