Ahh just so you know Clinton budget surplus Obama led us out of the 08 crash and Biden has achieved a lot of positive legislation nothing is perfect but such a blanket statement is patently untrue 

People who call clinton or obama stupid don't seem to grasp the concept that both of them are very high IQ guys ....while many may not agree with a lot of what they do or their policies but neither is stupid...i would put their IQ and knowledge of the world light years beyond a lot of the so called leaders today.

 

Obama could talk intelligently for hours on just about any topic thrown at him...and contrary to what brain dead republicans said over and over that he read everything off a teleprompter (another big LIE)  it is amazing how he must have known in advance that some reporter was going to shout a question at him at random asking about some little known or discussed country and he could rattle off who the leaders were  along with a long list of details about that country. Obama has forgotten more details about the world than most others will  know in several lifetimes.

After the left's Russia colluision hoax and years of dreadful lies surrounding the biden ukraine corruption which both led to fraudulent impeachments based on the lies, and the malevolant censorship banning factual rebuttal to the left's barmy conspiracy theories nobody in their right mind would trust the democrats now.

 They can't say ok ok we lied about the Steele dossier, we banned inconvenient facts for years, we lied for years accusing your president of having cheated in an election by conspiring and colluding with Russia to game the result. But this time we telling the truth. We're serial. Yeah right....

 Fact is, Trump is a more honest person than biden. 

Here is Inmate No P01135809 colluding with Russia...

A Treasury Department statement Thursday offered a potentially significant clue, asserting that Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian and Ukrainian political consultant, had shared sensitive campaign and polling information with Russian intelligence services.

 

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/15/trump-campaign-chief-paul-manafort-employee-kilimnik-gave-russia-election-data.html

 

Manafort’s associate, Konstantin Kilimnik, “also sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” the Treasury Department said as the Biden administration announced new sanctions on Russia, Kilimnik and others.

Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Monday publicly admitted that he gave polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik, a suspected Russian intelligence asset. The U.S. Treasury Department says the data—which it described as “sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy”—was then passed to Russian intelligence services. 

 

This was common knowledge back during the Mueller investigation.

The U.S. Treasury Department says-  did they offer any proof or convict anyone of anything over that?

 

How many years ago was that? Did Trump get banged up for it? Does anyone even care about that failed investigation now?

 

Meanwhile, Trump continues to profit off every indictment, raising more money and becoming more popular as more and more people see the legal assault on him just as the election season starts for what it probably is.

Going to be hugely ironic if Trump wins BECAUSE of the legal assault on him.

Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager, went to prison.

 

Yes, the 2016 campaign was a long time ago.

 

The Mueller investigation described "collusion" with the Russians. DOJ policy forbade Mueller from indicting Trump.

Was this "collusion" you falsely claim regarding Trump trying to game an election? From memory when the Mueller investigation ended the result was "no obstruction no collusion".

They couldn't prove Trump was in on the sharing of data with the Russian agent.  However the fact remains that Trump's campaign manager colluded with the Russians.  There was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. 

 

What MAGA Republicans have long denied, and continue to deny, took place.  There was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.  Got it?

Well, they never had a chance to prove it. Mueller said if it were not for Justice Dept policy against indicting a sitting President, he would have had grounds to go after Trump for obstruction of Justice which included broadly hinting to Paul Manafort that he could be pardoned. William Barr misrepresented the report for which he was castigated by a Federal judge.

Get a memory check. Mueller specifically said were Trump not President he would have recommended several counts against him on the charge of obstruction of justice. However, you are correct in a way about the fact that no reference was made to collusion. That's because collusion isn't a crime.

Of course, these indictments are the latest politically-driven phase of this witch hunt. 

Seems perhaps the "witch hunt" needs to be renamed  "republican witch hunt" since almost every single witness in all the cases are republican trumpers many of whom worked for or were appointed by trump and all voted for trump and wanted him to win....these witch hunters who have testified under oath as to what they personally saw or heard in front of a grand jury ....under oath in spite of the fact they know that they and their families will likely be targets of the maga cult death threats for years.

 

Yes i guess it is all politically driven and those incompetent dems have pulled off the biggest brainwashing of all time to convince all those republicans to go along with the "witch hunt"....it is only fair that the republicans get some credit for the witch hunt as without them and their testimony there would have been no grand jury indictments

Lots of folks pointing fingers in all directions.  BUT while we are all here, google the SS funds "surplus" for many years yet now we continue to see the doom and gloom within a decade.  Reagan + other political leaders had a bill passed to increase the amount of social security taxes that workers had to pay so

that the future generations would be able to get benefits without those benefits being cut.  However, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump took those "increased"

taxes since it was mounting up so that future retirees could get their monies back.  However since all since each of these "leaders" along with our great

congress people continued to pay for their "pork barrel" projects.  Now think about all those workers who have been paying the "extra" SS tax every year,

soon to retire and being told that their benefits now will be cut drastically!  Having live in foreign countries most of my adult life, I notice that the politicians

in just about every country are as corrupt as those in the US.  I noted recently that the Indian Parliament has tried but failed to pass an anti-corruption

law for 5 years without success.  In the US too, our politicians escape insider-trading sanctions although that is illegal.  Also, I read regularly news articles when senior politicians are visiting foreign countries, they take along family members who join companies (without having to pay any monies yet receive lots of 

valuable stocks) in those companies strictly because their family is a ranking member in the congress or government office. I don't know if all the stories I read

about these activities are in fact true, but since the DOJ seems to investigate them plus, I am sure that the IRS must be keeping track.  I for one would never

trust any politician anymore, as they change their values regularly depending on whatever their audience wants, even if it is blatantly false.  After almost 60

years of being able to vote, I gave up on each of the parties so now ignore the elections.  What ever happened to the values that our founding fathers had?

Now greed and hate seem to be the determining factors for people to run for office in my opinion.

Hope all have a nice week.
