And Mitt?  He's a typical out-of-touch rich guy who punked himself.  I actually think Mitt's basically a good guy, but oblivious in the extreme.

How do you know that it isn't true? Are willing back up it up with your home? I hope you remember your own advice. Actually, there is pretty strong evidence which is why there is a REAL criminal investigation going on that involves high ranking officials affiliated with our intelligence agencies and legal justice system right now. You don't have to believe it, you can choose to ignore it or even pretend that there isn't one. I don't really care, it's a free country and all. I figure the majority will eventually see things my way. I still believe that the majority aren't liberals who see things the way the liberals do these days. 

Have you ever questioned a liberal who believes they're an expert? What I learned today is that one can't/shouldn't ever question a liberal expert or a liberal Democrat these days. Yes, I could see that the liberal expert got a bit miffed when questioned by someone that they view as being below them.

Whoa!  Ease up on the Kool-Aid, please!  Stop for just one second and ask yourself: why is it that all 17 IC agencies and even members of Trump's own White House staff see this as Russian meddling, Trump enabling and extorting a small country for his benefit, while you, and a few diehards in the Forever Trump phalange, see it differently?  Who's investigating if all the career professionals are on the "other side"?  Why is it that you can ignore the obvious: Trump and his Chief of Staff both admitted this on television!  Are you  being played?  I think so.

And on the topic of experts, here's the score.  On the Trumpist side is the dairy farmer Devin Nunes, opposed by, among others, Fiona Hill who has made a career of studying the Russians since 1987.  Also note, she is anything but an elite.  And fwiw, you wouldn't tolerate a no-nothing telling you how HVAC is supposed to work and mandating that you have it installed wrong -- as you shouldn't.  Everyone has an area of expertise.  That should be respected.

I prefer Coca-Cola. The liberals seem to the only ones chugging down Kool-Aid these days. The Obama years pretty wiped out the Kool-Aid drinkers on the right. I see them hanging out with the left these days. See what as Russian meddling? The Biden/Ukrainian investigation thingy that Trump expressed an interest in having reopened by the Ukrainian President. Yep. He admitted it and he released the transcripts of the communications between them as well.
I'm an American citizen, I'd like to know more about it. After all, Biden is running for President. I know that you either don't or prefer not to think (view things) that way.

If I was Putin, I'd be upset that my American bro (Trump) screwed me by authorizing the release of American arms, American missile defense systems and further continuation of American military assistance for Ukraine. I'd also be upset that he's screwing with me economically with heavy sanctions and by cutting into my oil production profits. You want to know what I think, I think Putin may actually have way more influence with you than Trump these days.
