Memo looks like a nothing burger... Read it here

Would agree that Trump's tweets and commentary are so very juvenile as to elicit disgust every time I read them. Doesn't take away from the fact that Schiff is, if leaking information, a criminal. And then there is this stupidity from "Little Adam"...

Schiff's Latest Bizarre Claim: Russian Ads Promote 2nd Amendment "So We All Kill Each Other"

California Congressman Adam Schiff now says that Russian ads aimed at pushing Americans to kill each other...



The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms... and, as The Duran's Alex Christoforou writes, according to California Congressman Adam Schiff, those pesky Russians are using bots to promote the second amendment with an ultimate goal of having Americans ‘kill each other.’

Once again, another brilliant plan hatched by Putin... good thing Schiff caught on to it and can now begin seizing American’s guns so as to thwart Russia’s evil plan.

On Thursday Democrat Schiff spoke to a crowd at the University of Pennsylvania, where the TDS – ‘Russia hysteria virus’ infected Schiff told the crowd Russian ads promoted the Second Amendment during the 2016 election “so we will kill each other.”

NTK Network reports...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Thursday that Russia promoted content that supported the Second Amendment on social media during the 2016 election because they wanted Americans to kill one another.

“You had the content that was clearly anti-Hillary, and you had the content that was very pro-Trump. But even the bigger quantity of content that was being pushed through social media was just content designed to pit us against each other,” Schiff said while speaking at the University of Pennsylvania.​

Which is false!

Facebook executive Colin Stretch told the US Senate Judiciary Committee in November that the total number of those illegitimate ads are a drop in the ocean — less than 0.004 percent of all content — or about 1 in 23,000 news feed items.

Russia didn’t flip the election.

And then Schiff exclaimed:

“They also trumpeted the Second Amendment. Apparently Russians are very big fans of our Second Amendment. They don’t particularly want a Second Amendment of their own, but they’re really glad that we have one."​

“The Russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day, and sadly we are.”

Mr. Schiff's constant delusional comments are so irrelevant to most Americans - and so unbelievable to many - that it should be no surprise to anyone that The Democrats favorability is sliding and Trump's is rising. But it certainly seems to have shocked Brookings' Benjamin Wittes: "Almost unfathomably, both Trump’s and the congressional Republicans’ position in polls seems to be improving."





Will The Democrats never learn?

So what you're saying is, releasing secret Intel by the Republicans to smear the FBI is ok, but releasing secret Intel by the Democrats as a counter argument is not ok.

It does nail it. The problem with you (as always) is that you fail to see your own side's misgivings. That's the difference between us. I see the system as rotten, you only see the right as rotten. One of us has wool pulled over our eyes and shows no inclination of ever wanting anything otherwise.

I think the Democrats are not without flaws, but they give consideration to those who need it. They are more inclusive. More so than the Republicans, they aim for a functional society. The problem is that the poor uneducated white don't even know who their enemy is. And make no mistake, the Republicans, in their current configuration, are no friends of minorities either. Or anyone, for that matter, but the privileged.

If nothing else, Trump would NEVER have gotten the Democratic nomination. That in itself tells you something about the two parties.

So what you're saying is that you don't understand the difference between an official release of a document that has classified information, and someone leaving the room for a moment to anonymously leak something to the press that hasn't been cleared for release?

And out comes the token comment about everyone having flaws, yadda yadda yadda. Freddie, the reason you have no credibility around here is that you have never been able to look at anything in a balanced light. Like, ever. I've challenged you many times to show me posts of yours that are critical of your party, and we can compare them to posts of mine critical to those on the right. You've never accepted the challenge, and for good reason. You'd get slaughtered. If there is one post in the last year with you openly critical - not just paying lip service - to the democrats, I'd be surprised.

The problem is the system. It's rotten to the core. That's the reason Trump got elected - not some ridiculous bullshit about Russian facebook ads. You guys put up a corrupt candidate - and we can argue all day about this proof and that - but you put up a candidate who has thrived in the system for decades. The republicans did the same thing, with a whole host of similar swamp creatures like Rubio and Jeb, etc. People had enough and they wanted to send a message. And folks like you still haven't gotten that message, which is why things will continue to get more and more extreme on both sides of the aisle until the whole system comes crashing down and we're left with something akin to a dictator. And then it'll be all the things you lefties really hate, but with no power to stop any of it.

Mark my words.

Like, whoa, dude. Like, really?

You guys put up a corrupt candidate

The Democrats put up a corrupt candidate? When was that? Clearly it was not Hillary, since you firmly and vehemently believe in innocence until guilt is proven. Right?

Tell me, do you think the ever-so-innocent Trump will complete his term?

Link to source of Schiff leaking to the media? I'm not aware of any.

I will kindly refer you to the post you quoted when beginning this dialogue, advising careful attention to the boldface, underlined and enlarged portion of the text.

Doesn't take away from the fact that Schiff is, if leaking information, a criminal.

Do you believe the Democratic Party took any efforts to ensure the election so that Bernie would not win? I'm just curious here on whether you deny that as Russian propaganda as well.

Tell me, do you think the ever-so-innocent Trump will complete his term?

Yes, he will. Mostly because the process to get rid of him is so complicated and convoluted and there will be nothing found on the so-called "Russian collusion" nonsense.

There were some unfortunate events to be sure. But how does this implicate Hillary herself? Where is your evidence that she had a hand in any underhandedness? You have already labeled her as corrupt, a label you are incapable of assigning to Trump. Where is the difference? Where is the evidence.

I'm just curious here, so don't get your panties in a bunch. Do you believe these "unfortunate events" (which, had they been on the Republican side would have been labeled by you in much, much stronger terms of course) were done without any knowledge by the Clinton campaign?
