Quote:Sessions was asked under oath if he had any contact with the Russian government. If he was really talking to the Russian ambassador in the capacity of a senator rather than as a Trump surrogate he should have said that rather than perjuring himself and saying that he had no contact with the Russians. It indicates that he had communications with the ambassador he was trying to hide.
It could indicate that. It could indicate that he was speaking of meetings in his capacity as a campaign surrogate, which is what I believe he's claiming now. Maybe it simply slipped his mind. Or maybe he is concealing something.
We will see, since the Democrats are looking to make hay over the issue. Still, "treason" is a bit of a leap at this point.
Quote:The New York Times? The Washington Post?
Liberal rags. I read the NYT everyday for over 15 years, and I lost respect for it a while ago. I raised simply one sample issue with it with Dave in the other thread.
Quote:Oh look, whataboutism!
Oh look, hypocrisy! You didn't answer the question. What has seriously gotten you to the point where Putin is "like, LITERALLY HITLER" and you are claiming war has already begun?
Quote:It's becoming increasingly clear that Russia is promoting Fascist Alt-Right movements throughout the West, and that they are influencing the Trump administration.
A Fascist Internationale? Who are you, Charles Stross?
Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe (for, you know, let's consider alternatives to nuclear war values of the same), the rise of alt-right and (in places that had far-right regimes in living memory) alt-left parties here and abroad is in response to popular dissatisfaction with the existing options, and is not simply a Russian plot?
It's amazing to me watching a Brown Scare pick up steam.
Quote:I thought better of Republicans and thought they would put country over party, but now it's clear that they'll sell us out to the Russians for an extra buck.
THE RUSSIANS R COMING!! RUN!!
But still, join the club. I still have trouble believing what the Left has turned into, too.
