The Democratic party continues it's rapid collapse... #maga
"newly released FBI documents that reveal for the very first time that the Obama administration was well aware of illegal bribery, extortion and money laundering schemes being conducted by the Russians to get a foothold in the atomic energy business in the U.S. before approving a deal that handed them 20% of America's uranium reserves...and resulted in a windfall of donations to the Clinton Foundation."
"
Russian Purchase of US Uranium Assets in Return for $145mm in Contributions to the Clinton Foundation - Bill and Hillary Clinton assisted a Canadian financier, Frank Giustra, and his company, Uranium One, in the acquisition of uranium mining concessions in Kazakhstan and the United States. Subsequently, the Russian government sought to purchase Uranium One but required approval from the Obama administration given the strategic importance of the uranium assets. In the run-up to the approval of the deal by the State Department, nine shareholders of Uranium One just happened to make $145mm in donations to the Clinton Foundation. Moreover, the New Yorker confirmed that Bill Clinton received $500,000 in speaking fees from a Russian investment bank, with ties to the Kremlin, around the same time. Needless to say, the State Department approved the deal giving Russia ownership of 20% of U.S. uranium assets "- So Russia did all of this before but didn't mess with the election? Like they stopped at the Uranium?capn_ron

Fox News is obsessed with “shadow president” Hillary Clinton
A question from a Fox News reporter offered insight in the paranoid minds of right-wing media
- robotron3k-6
Hillary is still relevant and runs the purse strings of the DNC... And she's planning on giving back $250,000 of Weinstein political contribution.
Someone asked her if Weinsteins crimes were similar to Bills, she said, "Close but no cigar..."
I love how Bombard reads her in this interview...
- so ... she's rejecting Weinstein money and answering questions honestly ... and you're STILL obsessed with her?monospaced
- you do know your guy won robotard - focus on the winning not the loser lol.fadein11
- Hillary still giving back to the criminals. wtf lol.********
- Hehehe exactlyrobotron3k
- exactly? you trumptards would be upset regardless of what she did with the money, and you know itmonospaced

"I think that the president is rightfully venting his experiences and disappointment with how the coverage has been occurring regarding his administration. I've been surprised how vitriolic that the coverage has been," O'Rielly said. "I think that President Clinton got better coverage during the middle of impeachment than President Trump is getting these days."
- Yes the swamp wont be going easy, lots of grandstanding politicos that should have retired decades ago...robotron3k
- robo, you clearly don't define "swamp" the same way Trump does. Makes me wonder if you know what it references in the first place, considering reality and allmonospaced

What would what Bill Clinton did be similar to what Weinstein did? Bill, while he did cheat, and lie about it, had consensual sex with Lewinsky.
Weinstein cornered women and tried to force them to do things they didnt want to do.
2 entirely different things ya morons.
- *WhyCygnusZero4
- Juanita Broderick.robotron3k
- bill was a pig, too. not all that different. several women have accused Bill, of violations including sexual harassment, sexual assault and rapeGnash
- the power imbalance alone doesn't give bill a pass on the comparison.Gnash
- And Bill Clinton was fucking impeached for his dalliance.BusterBoy
- B.C. bit and raped women... watch the interviews... if you still love Billy afterward listening to his victims then you're truly a twatPonyBoy
- Also...Clinton wasn't impeached for infidelity / rape / sexual anything... he was impeached for lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justicePonyBoy
- Srsly, Cyg... do you start and stop w/Lewinsky? You need to do some research, Jr.PonyBoy
- So you think it's okay for a big boss (knowingly married to Hillary) to take advantage of interns (who is there to learn) and teach them how to give BJs?********
- It's more than cheating and lying. It's Sexual Harassment at Work. It's consensual only because you have to choose between your job or a cum shot to face.********

So this story has right wing fanatics in a party-like-it's-1999 frenzy tonight. It was teased cryptically by Hannity all week, and was his lead story.
FBI uncovered Russian bribery plot before Obama administration approved controversial nuclear deal with Moscow
http://thehill.com/policy/nation…--
Here's what I find so amusing. The article presents nothing except accusations. No proof AT ALL. Yet the hive mind of r/the_donald on Reddit and sites like GodlikeProductions have concluded 1,000% that it is proof of criminality by Obama and Clinton, and that it's proof of an FBI coverup by Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, Robert Mueller, and even Jeff Sessions. Hannity, constantly mocking the Trump / Russia investigation, was constantly saying "you want proof of Russian collision? Now you've got it." He was constantly, as he's done before, insinuating that Clinton was solely responsible for the uranium deal's approval. Also saying Trump has been investigated for 11 months and no proof of Russian collusion or involvement has been found (basically saying the investigation is a failure, and basically he's neglecting to realize the investigation is underway, therefore little evidence should even be coming out at all.)You've got to look in awe at how this all works, how partisan and cult-like things have gotten. These right-wing types have all the proof in the world that Trump is innocent of any charge made against him (when they have zero proof of anything) yet when an article offering no proof about Clinton et al, their minds are made up instantly: they're all guilty.
What a day and age we're living in.
- So far President Trump has been right, proof (so far) NK has stayed quiet. ISIS being brutalized, most of all consumer confidence is at all time high and cont.robotron3k
- Again, I was out of the country before elections so I didn't vote in Nov, but I see his appeal & people don't want to accept he's incredibly persuasive.robotron3k
- ^ eh? that has nothing to do with mg33's postinteliboy
- just more mental gymnasticsRamanisky2
- Latest Russia talking points, to be used immediately: I was "out of the country" during the election but I "see his appeal." :/yuekit
- Original accusation was back in 2015. This was a confirmation of those accusations. These are pretty detailed accusations.IRNlun6
- 10 months in and plenty of leaks later, we still have no idea if/how/why Russia had any involvement with Trump. The latest was an alleged 100k ad buy in FB...IRNlun6
- tldr: its fake newsCygnusZero4
- The only evidence regarding Trump/Russia so to speak is the existence of an investigation, but thats just faith in power. Not any actionable, verifiable info.IRNlun6
- What about the fact that Trump's campaign manager took tens of millions of payments from politicians connected to Putin?yuekit
- Or this?
http://www.businessi…yuekit - I realize you might not have seen that if you get your news from right wing pro Trump sites :)yuekit
- I'm not saying this proves Trump conspired with Russia himself, but there is definitely something weird going on there.yuekit
- It's funny how somehow the right will use this to vindicate Trump, while an investigation continues, and while he's stillmg33
- a useless, vindictive, petulant asshole who is destroying this country 10x over compared to anything Obama did in his presidency.mg33
- On the idea that both parties colluded with Russia, and whether or not Russia is an enemy....********
- It could have all been prevented if 1. Does not build illegal server in bathroom and 2. Do not give Uranium away to Russia.********
- To this day, Manafort has not been charged with any crime for working with the deposed Ukrainian president.IRNlun6
- This bribery accusation is very specific. If there really is FBI and Justice department verification on this...IRNlun6
- ... that's far more damaging than 10 months of Mueller investigation leading nowhere.IRNlun6
- Trump is very polarizing. I don't expect many to ever like him. Those that don't may be very loud, but in no way indicative of the state of the country.IRNlun6
- Well nor has anyone been charged with anything for bribery...so by your logic nothing happened there either :/yuekit
- Hence, my use of the word "if". Still needs to be proven true, unlike running with the Trump/Russia collusion so many are certain happened with zero proof.IRNlun6

“There is no question that the rally in the stock market has baked into it reasonably high expectations of us getting tax cuts and tax reform done,” Mnuchin said in the interview. “To the extent we get the tax deal done, the stock market will go up higher. But there’s no question in my mind that if we don’t get it done you’re going to see a reversal of a significant amount of these gains.”

This might be the single funniest thing I've ever seen.
Now we can guess whether it was Trump, one of his kids, or "John Barron."
