Can we impeach this idiot already?

The other side of what exactly?

Politically. I literally typed it. And you're the one that said I was a partisan. Are you going to make your point or are you going to play these dumb semantic games you like to play when you think you're being clever?

I'm not playing games with you. I'm wondering why you didn't read Ceeboo's post for what it said before you went off on the "sides" thing and why you have such a gigantic blind spot. As if "sides" were the answer to every problem and issue.

Ceeboo made concessions to both "sides" in his post or didn't you notice it?

These so-called discussions about "sides" aren't in the least productive. It doesn't help us to know anything. All it possibly helps us to do is vent regarding current affairs.

As to what Trump is/isn't doing with regards to Russia, you have no bloody clue and neither do I. What we think we know is based on snippets of information and overblown paranoid commentary (intended to alarm and keep us clicking and viewing) and we don't know more than what we've been told to know.

Don't you see that? Don't you know that? You were a lifer for god sakes, why don't you know what a "need to know" communication is?

Can you honestly tell me that you think that the American public has been apprised of everything that took place at the G20 summit?

Trump Tweets today:

"Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded.."

And what does that mean? What's a Cyber Security unit, how will it be formed and facilitated, and what if any oversight will be put in place?

Anyone who lives in a country that is effectively a two-party set-up, in which one party supports a president like Trump, and who feigns surprise and puzzlement when people identify their interlocutors in a thread like this one as being on one side or another is ... well, either a little disconnected from the context of the discussion, or pretending to be.


The French sometimes say to a kid who is being difficult 'don't try to make yourself out to be interesting'. That may be applicable here.

Did you read Ceeboo's post?

Further, who did Ceeboo vote for, Chap?

Trump is quickly backtracking on this statement. Maybe this is why you shouldn't send out official white house statements without maybe first talking to some of your advisers first.

That's kind of like this headline from Business Insider...

Trump: I 'pressed' Putin, will create cybersecurity unit ...

Um, no. He didn't say he "will create" anything.
