This will upset quite a few.  Trump actually admitting Russia meddles in domestic affairs of other countries! LOL

"Today, actors such as Russia are using information tools in an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of democracies. Adversaries target media, political processes, financial networks, and personal data," the document reads. "The American public and private sectors must recognize this and work together to defend our way of life."

I truly do not understand Trump's obsessive desire to please Russia/Putin, and lacking a reasonable and/or credible explanation, I have to conclude that he is secretly obligated to them somehow.

 

A serious question to the Trump supporters;

 

'Why does Trump believe that Russia is not a threat to the USA, or at bare minimum is a serious,opponent to US interests?'

 

I would really love a serious answer...

 

TIA

 

What Trump says and what he writes is two different things.  Here's what his written words say.  Completely different and left out in his speech.  I guess @FreddieRoyle will be stunned by this. LOL

Trump did not mention those lines during his remarks, instead sticking to broad declarations of American superiority on the global stage.

Staggering hypocrisy. Nobody interferes more in foreign countries around the world than the US. Arab spring anyone? Libya? Korean peninsula? Just shocking that they can accuse Russia of interfering when all evidence points to Russia doing a great benevolent job on the world stage. Clearing up the terrible mess Obama/Clinton made in Syria just for starters. Well done Russia, one day you will get the thanks you deserve - after Russiagate blows over perhaps?

Guess what!  Your hero just said otherwise! 

Russia doing a great benevolent job?  You should visit Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Syria.  I guarantee those living there will tell a different story.

Where do you get your news from?  Staggering.

Trump is just thrashing around.  Nothing coherent nor consistent. 

Listen to his speech.  Sounded like he was running for office.  Just listed all his accomplishments.

He's mentally deranged.

 You won't know about this nor that it is Chittagoninas ('Rohingya') that are doing it. They were doing the same thing in Rakhine.

A genocide used to mean something like what happened to the Jews. It isn't. 

I too am sorry for these people. It's not their fault that they refused to learn Burmese or integrate, were bullies, stole land, raped and murdered, attacked temples of both Hindus and Buddhists, launched the biggest terrorist attack of the 21st century on 25 August.  They have killed A LOT MORE Buddhists since 1942 than were killed recently. 

Why wouldn't I know about this?  I was just there!  And spent some time in these villages. 

Refused to integrate?  We bullies?  Seriously?  You've got a warped sense of how these things have played out.

Here's a pic of me with one of these indigenous people on my last trip to this exact area.

You know Craig has pulled out early before, JT should have seen it coming.

I didn't pull out before. I was entered into it without my knowledge. Again. And at the time I was a mod. So management pulled me out. I was very happy with that decision. 

After the abuse here. I quit as a mod.

Way cheaper with Grab and they all speak English! 

Many are calling this a genocide. Most are NOT Muslim. 

Time for something to be done and help these poor people. 

I'm just back from KL. Every mall has a designated Grab taxi pickup location. Signs are everywhere for Grab.

Why can't Thailand get it together? Sad and embarrassing

When I was nominated for poty, I did not wish to be a candidate and asked for my name to be removed, I was told that it was not possible to do that. Having said that craig chose to remove himself for whatever reason, I care not one jot. 

The candidates we have left seem to be taking this very amicably, not like some of the voters, I guess they must be feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. Can't we go along with this without all the carping, after all it's supposed to be a bit of fun. 

I had no idea I was in this until 2 days ago. Those in the final running should be asked first before proceeding.  IMHO.

We have many, many good members here. Sadly, a few bad ones that tend to ruin it.

You do not have our permission to do so! Plus you've been around TVF long enough to understand that negative posts from idiots is part of the landscape, ignore them and continue.

I've been threatened several times and had personal details published. One reason I quit as a mod. Not worth it.

Sorry and thanks to those who voted for me.

This might help a bit.

Please vote for Colinneil.  Thank you.

Yep practiced family medicine for 30  years.  We knew this a long time ago.  It was hard to get this point across to patients.  Sadly they "paid the price."

I use to work with a very large lady.  Saw her downing 1/4 gallon of ice cream one day.  I asked if that was a good thing.  Her reply?  "It's diet ice cream."! LOL

Works fine for me.  I mainly use it for live news feeds.  Which sometimes work, sometimes don't, sometimes sends me off to nasty spam ads.

This is not even close to being over. The special counsel has great powers. And they extend well beyond the purview of the Russia investigation. Trump has more skeletons in his closet than a Papuan Highlander cannibal. This man is the filthiest person to ever lead any major country. And I am including some of the most infamous. Just wait. The fun has just begun. To all the ones out there living in denial, just wait. To even consider that Russia did not try to influence the election is beyond comprehension. And to consider that Trump not only knew everything that was going on and actually directed the interference in whatever way he could, is totally realistic. That is simply who he is. That is the work of the crime lord he is. He does filthy very well. That is who he is. 

If they went after Trump's financials, which is a bigly deal to him, they most have found something.  Just building the case now.  Much to the dismay of the Trumpateers. LOL

Yup.  Sure did!  But my post stands!!!!

Abrahamson says that Trump intends firing Mueller, and then says that Trump can't fire Mueller.   Some attorney.....wouldn't know if his butt hole was punched, bored or drilled!!

 

I'm ready for the emergency, nevertheless, getting in supplies, ready to tetreat to the basement, not sure what for, but I'll do it anyway.   The left has me that panicked.

I wouldn't blame the attorney's for this.  Can you imagine working for Trump?  Guaranteed, the toughest most difficult job you'd ever have.

They've been advising him for a long time to stop the Tweets.  Some may come back to bite him in the ass.....

Trump can for sure fire Muller.  But the ramifications would be catastrophic for him.  Luckily, he seems to understand that.  As much as a 5 year old could anyway. LOL

The trick with Kodi is to know which are the credible developers, because they are around since ages and their addons don't go down.

 

One of the best know apps Mobdro has become unusable now because every second stream selection you're forced to watch a 30 second ad which you can not click out.

 

All apps are available in Kodi as well, but without ads.

 

Apps go down as much as addons. Solid Streamz - Geo Streamz - PTV sports work 10% of the time lately, and UKTVnow updated 2 time in the past 5 days.

 

 

Some of the best developers, with the best apps, are now gone.  Many, actually.

The newer (and better) streams now come with a requirement to activate via a form.  Which are ads.

It must be so disappointing for the Clinton-ites to see the wheels fall of this wagon, to see the hounds lose their scent, it's only a matter of time before the mournful wail of the bugle signals the end of this hunt. Well, it was an exciting time, and the 24/7 msm coverage of this non existent collusion was all good fun, and in fact good practice for when a significant political event occurs. Nice try chaps, now for the love of Mary can we finally let POTUS Trump govern for the remaining 3 years of his first term.

It wasn't all about collusion.  It's about violation of laws and obstruction of justice.  Keep up!

And it's far from over.  Which must be so disappointing for the Trumpateers!

I read an interesting piece about this.  It'd be a huge problem for Trump if he fired Muller.  The consequences would be huge...or bigly. LOL

That's got to hurt Trump!  He says he doesn't trust the intelligence agencies.  Now Putin congratulates them for this!
