...anyway.
(

For the sake of fairness, it should be stated they didn't just side with Trump. These people organized marches and grassroots campaign that played both sides of the aisle, sometimes hosting pro and anti-Trump events simultaneously. Their major impetus wasn't primarily to get Trump elected (though that did seem to be the preferred outcome), but to stir up political turmoil.

Thanks for the update.

There's just one thing I want to know, Renz. Are you who you say you are?
Renzatic on 16/2/2018 at 19:53
Nope! I am not here. You do not know me. We have never met.
...fwooossshh

The fwooossshh was me disappearing into the night, by the way. You know, for dramatic effect. Just FYI.

You think Trump is being blackmailed by oligarchs?!?!
Wow dema, I mean wow, I would LOVE to see *those* links!
And I would love to see you read an English sentence and correctly parse the grammar of phrases like "may well be" and "none of that even actually matters". I don't know if he's being blackmailed or not. The point is he's taking actions that look like obstruction of justice and hiding from *something* that may or may not be that or something like it. An obstruction of justice claim doesn't even have to care what it is he's hiding from was the point.
Edit: I was also just about to post the indictment and tell our new inn friend how brilliant his timing was, but Renz beat me to the punch as he is wont to do.

Dear dema, it'd be great if you didn't do that *thing* thing.

There you go. I knew you were flaky the first time I set eyes on you

You don't like the *thing*? :(
All this time... I never knew.

There could be a thousand reasons why Trump does what he does, and not all of them necessarily include hiding a conspiracy with the Russians.
Though whether he did it to hide evidence of wrongdoing, or simply because he's a stubborn idiot overly obsessed with loyalty and controlling the image he projects to the public at large, obstruction of justice is obstruction of justice.
Remember, Bill Clinton wasn't impeached for being guilty of any of the number of issues he was being investigated for. He was impeached for lying about a blowjob that was, all things considered, nothing more than a sensationalist aside.

Nice. It isnt the blackmailed part that caused the fuss, it was the connection you made to OLOLIGARCHS that raised a flag sir. Also nice how you didnt mention the 'ol olly's second time around...

And whatever that means, I have read all of your guyses work for many many years now, even before you arrived I believe. :) I have only now chosen to speak out again here with the advent of things like this F'ed up election.
You see, I truly have zero political leanings, and I am aware that lots of you guys here are quite opinionated in your politics. You see someone talking about a political issue and you instantly start trying to figure out which side they are on! I have been called pro-Trump on this board, and that is not the case.
When I saw Hillary running again, that was all that I was focused on, Trump wasnt even a consideration, merely a side-joke, in the beginning of course. The fact that Trump bullied everyone all the way to the office says *nothing* about him, and says *everything* about the countries disdain for Hillary, who the democrats just *HAD* to have on this ticket!
Why did they do that again? Even Sanders had a better chance at taking down Trump!
