Oh shit! She spoke with the office of Russia's top prosecutor?! RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT COLLUSION CONFIRMED!
It is pretty crazy how someone campaigning for an end to a Russian law would be lobbying the Russian government!
God damn you fucking Democrats are so pathetic.
Let me know when you have some actual facts that point to collusion of some sort, time4fun. Until then take all of this bullshit that can be easily explained away and shove them right back up your ass.

You actually don't understand.
You didn't understand that she was a Russian government lawyer- as in, you actually didn't understand that "Russian government lawyer" meant she was a lawyer for the Russian government. You didn't understand that she had information from a top Russian government official, and you somehow (and honestly, none of us have actually figured out how) didn't understand that "part of the Russian government" meant "from the Russian government". In fact, you STILL don't actually seem to get it.
You also didn't understand "she was meeting with Russian authorities regularly" meant.
And there's a reason why you're the only person here who's making these arguments. Because literally everyone else actually understands basic English. It may be despicable to argue that the collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government is "no big deal", but honestly, that's leaps and bounds ahead of "She wasn't there on behalf of the Russian government!". Better morally bankrupt than just plain stupid.

Uh...a lot of people are arguing that she wasn't there on the Russian government's behalf, but rather as a private citizen who is lobbying about this Russian adoption thing. Maybe no one is making that argument on the PC, but there are lots of people making said argument.
Haven't they also said she was at Congress and meeting with other people about this adoption thing? Do we need to also accuse everyone of collusion that she spoke to?
But! Again! Logic! You better hope your niece doesn't ever see your posts on the PC, she'll never put in a good word for you with her brother!

According to the Russian counterintelligence agent who attended the meeting, you mean? The one who misrepresented his relationship with the Russian government and with the Russian government lawyer in the same interview?
But wait- I thought, according to Trump Junior, that no information was shared?
Odd, because the email sent specifically said the information was about Clinton.
But then, the Russian government lawyer says that no information was offered, and the Trump campaign just heard what they wanted to hear.

Let's not forget that the Obama administration allowed a Russian government spy with vast ties to the Kremlin and carrying highly sensitive documents let her into the country.
This collusion not only goes all the way to the top of the current administration, but also the last administration!
RUSSIANS! RUSSIANS! THE RUSSIANS ARE EVERYWHERE!
If only we had the good senses to present them with a giant reset button 8 years ago that could have solved all of this mess!

You have an email demonstrating that the Trump family and campaign were 100% comfortable working with the Russian government's program to support their campaign. You know for a fact that EVERY SINGLE member of the campaign who was present in that meeting left the meeting off of their various security forms and out of their answers about their contacts with the Russian government. You know that they repeatedly, intentionally lied through their teeth about the details of the meeting. You know that Trump Jr showed absolutely zero shock at the line about the Russian government working to support their campaign, and you also know that the Trump campaign (including Trump himself) repeatedly deceived the country about the Russian government's desire to get them elected. And you know that the Trump campaign immediately started working on undoing Russian sanctions when they got into the White House until Congress stepped in and made them back off. And you know that Trump- by his own admission- fired the FBI Director overseeing the investigations into his campaign after he refused to bow to repeated pressure to call off the investigation into his former Director of National Security- who is also the first person to have gone on record saying he was willing to flip for immunity to his NUMEROUS crimes.

How do you figure we all have to agree to that based on that evidence alone?
Russia moved to ban Americans from adopting Russian children in response to the Magnitsky Act. Maybe she really does just give a shit about children and doesn't think orphans should be used as bargaining chips by the Russian government and since the Magnitsky act was a precursor for the said American/Russian children adoption ban she is seeking to have both acts repealed.
Sure, this can all just be a cover for wanting to get rid of the Magnitsky act and she doesn't really give a shit about orphans, but it's absurd to say "Nope! You must agree with me because reasons!"

From Fox News Insider
The Trump team's "no there there" talking point died this week, Chris Stirewalt said this morning on "America's Newsroom."
The Fox News politics editor agreed with Charles Krauthammer's overall assessment of the damage done by the revelation that President Trump's son Donald Jr. met a Russian lawyer last spring in an attempt to obtain dirt on the Clintons.

Oh, you take such umbrage with that? Have you actually deluded yourself into thinking that:
1) the regular heehawing circlejerk of uncritical opinions with absolutely no regard to facts,
2) the dismissal of any news source that doesn't begin with "Breit," "Fox N" or "Drudg"
3) the everchanging goalposts as increasingly egregious developments occur regarding to the Trump sphere
actually constitute reasoned positions or good-faith interest in "discussion"? No.
Look at all the recent threads you and the regulars have posted in. It's almost all "HURRRRRRR, TIME4FUN IS SO RETARDED, HURR, BACK IS SO RETARDED, HURR, CWOLF IS SO RETARDED, HURRRRRR, LOOK HOW MUCH WE ALL AGREE WITH EACH OTHER."
You bask in gleeful ignorance, convinced that you're enlightened. What are you going to say when people start resigning or getting indicted?
The obvious solution would be for you all to stop being retarded. Which isn't actually possible.

Putin's getting a good ROI
...the Trump administration is quietly trying to put the kibosh on bipartisan legislation to sanction Russia for election interference.
The bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Ben Cardin (D-MD) and John McCain (R-AZ), would impose new sanctions against Russia and was specifically crafted to make it difficult for President Trump to lift them. It passed in the Senate by a 98-2 margin in June.
But now the bill suddenly looks like it may be in jeopardy. Republicans in the House have been slow to take up a bill that would embarrass the president, and Trump’s team is raising objections to its curtailment of their executive authority to deal with Russia as they see fit.

Until Republican voters decide that being lied to repeatedly for a year about the Trump campaign's interactions with Russia is a problem, they'll just keep doing it.
Just when I thought the irony couldn't get anymore delicious.

Let's be real he probably barely speaks English.
Better morally bankrupt than just plain stupid.
So which one are you?
I wasn't here for the election. Was the PC this forgiving of Hillary also?
Yes, time4fun insists Hillary never did anything wrong and it's all a vast right wing conspiracy + sexism + racism + homophobia + xenophobia, and lack of indictment = proof of innocence despite Comey "If someone else had done this they'd be in huge fucking trouble. HUUUUGE TROUBLE!!!!!1" and then promptly wrapped up on election night with "I've never been so scared in my life!" after Trump tubgirled the fuck out of her pre-emptive "Even Texas is in play!" Hillary victory celebration.
She eventually became so unhinged that now when a democrat loses a special election she considers it a win for democrats anyway and thinks it's a sign that the country is turning left and republicans should be shaking in their boots. Which is something democrats don't do because they only wear sandals with tube socks. Strangely enough, I saw a recent clip from The View where Whoopi was making the exact same argument almost verbatim that time4fish was making about the same (Georgia) special election results.
Also if the topic in/of a thread is anything at all, like literally anything, it's safe to assume that time4fun has at least 1 PhD in it, possibly more, and most likely taught a class in it and has also worked in that field for several years. There's also a high probability that her secretary boyfriend has high level contacts in whatever field the current topic is about.
She also claims that she makes more money than all of the rest of the PC combined, so better make sure you never disagree with her because sexism is wrong, and being wrong is for women.

You've proven repeatedly that you don't have the first clue what you're talking about in 99% of your posts. You just delude yourself into thinking you were right anyway, i.e. "Georgia special election was really a win for democrats even though the republican won and because of that republicans should be shaking in their boots!" Which hilariously you got that bullshit from The View of all places before you mindlessly regurgitated it here. Which is quite telling, but not at all surprising.
It has nothing to do with what I am or am not capable of either. What it really boils down to is what would honestly be the point of trying to engage in a serious debate with fringe idiots like you that have your own separate reality that is the foundation for your stupidity? Stupidity that's so incredible beyond the realm of normal stupid that the only person here who doesn't think you're a complete retard is Backlash, all while you're talking about how much smarter you are than everyone else in almost every post you make on top of all the other bullshit you come up with that I'm not going to rehash because everyone already knows, all of which almost always consists of you being cunty and incorrect while insisting everyone else is wrong and only you are smart enough to understand these things.
And let's not forget that until you came along and took his title from him, Backlash was by far the undisputed champion of political retardedness on here, with unanimous bipartisan agreement.
And maybe cwolff, at least until he realizes just how severe of a looney toon you are.

Here's something Robert Reich said:
I had breakfast recently with a friend who's a former Republican member of Congress. Here's what he said:
Him: Trump is no Republican. He’s just a big fat ego.
Me: Then why didn’t you speak out against him during the campaign?
Him: You kidding? I was surrounded by Trump voters. I’d have been shot.
Me: So what now? What are your former Republican colleagues going to do?
Him (smirking): They’ll play along for a while.
Me: A while?
Him: They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.
Me: And then what?
Him (laughing): They like Pence.
Me: What do you mean?
Him: Pence is their guy. They all think Trump is out of his mind.
Me: So what?
Him: So the moment Trump does something really dumb – steps over the line – violates the law in a big stupid clumsy way … and you know he will ...
Me: They impeach him?
Him: You bet. They pull the trigger.
Gives me some hope.

You've proven repeatedly that you don't have the first clue what you're talking about in 99% of your posts. You just delude yourself into thinking you were right anyway, i.e. "Georgia special election was really a win for democrats even though the republican won and because of that republicans should be shaking in their boots!" Which hilariously you got that bullshit from The View of all places before you mindlessly regurgitated it here. Which is quite telling, but not at all surprising.
Your posts never have any political citations or analysis in them- they're just personal attacks against people whose opinions don't fit your own. For you to be talking about how pointless it is to engage with other people is...funny.
More to the point- if you people are so convinced you're right- then it shouldn't be too hard to provide actual citations and analysis to break down the analyses of the people you disagree with. But that's the thing that's so telling about people like you, Wrath, and PB- you're so convinced you're right, but you never have actual evidence to back it up. When you're presented with evidence contrary to your world views- you just fall back on personal harassment because it's all you have. You don't know how to engage with it, so you do your best to make it go away.
There's not a single person here who honestly thinks you people- all of whom post several times a day in the politics folder- don't provide meaningful citations or analysis because it's not worth your time. If that were true- you would just avoid the politics folder. Your posts indicate that you don't really place much value on your time.
Truthfully it's because none of your arguments stand up to real evidence, and your opinions aren't based on actual facts. They're based on your personal comfort. You judge arguments by their conclusions, not based on their evidence and reasoning.
And that tells everyone a lot about how you arrived at your own opinions to begin with.

To me she makes the most legit points of most people in politics. She actually provides links to back up her opinions and observations. I'll take that over all the people who just post stupid pics or insults without anything to back them up with.

If that were true- you would just avoid the politics folder. Your posts indicate that you don't really place much value on your time.
It actually indicates that I place more value on my time. Because no sane person that values their time is going to sink any meaningful amount of time into having a serious debate with you because people like you will argue against the facts all day long all while acting like an arrogant twat despite almost always being wrong, and even after being proven wrong.
If I didn't value my time, I would go dig up links and all that bullshit, only to have you be like "Nuh uh because reasons, and btw I'm much smarter than everyone here!" It's not like I have any expectation of changing your views. I'd assume the same for you too, but honestly you're so arrogant and high on yourself for reasons that don't actually exist that you probably believe you can turn everyone on the PC deep blue "If they'd only just realize how much smarter than them I am!"
And then there's the obvious fact that in the end it's pointless anyway because nobody posting here in the politics folder is ever going to do anything meaningful about it and the chips will still fall where they're going to fall regardless. It's like arguing which sports team is better as if you're going to have some affect on how the season goes when in reality nobody on either team will ever know you even exist. So really it's you who doesn't value your time. You're just stuck so far up your own ass that you'll never be able to admit it to yourself.
Truthfully it's because none of your arguments stand up to real evidence, and your opinions aren't based on actual facts. They're based on your personal comfort. You judge arguments by their conclusions, not based on their evidence and reasoning.
And that tells everyone a lot about how you arrived at your own opinions to begin with.
"Even though the republican won the Georgia special election it's really a victory for democrats and republicans should be very worried!" -You (paraphrased because it's not worth the time to go find the actual post either)
Anyway, feel free to explain why it should be worth anyone's time when dealing with people like you that even other liberals think are unhinged lunatics.
And since you still struggle with processing this...you are entertainment to me and nothing else. And not the laughing with you kind. And nobody noticed you were gone when you went on vacation.

Exhibit A
Fascinating. Even after being accused of relying purely on personal attacks in lieu of political citations and analysis, your defense was entirely a personal attack with no actual political citations or analysis. It's so knee-jerk that I don't think you actually know how else to respond.
Even more interesting, after being criticized for seeing arguments as nothing but conclusions (and ignoring evidence and reasoning), your attempt to recap my argument was nothing more than a repeat of my conclusion That's not an argument, by the way. An argument is a conclusion AND supporting evidence. My argument was that the results of the special elections were good omens for the Democrats because they averaged a 14 point swing in the direction of Democrats, and that there were 70ish districts where Republicans won by less than that margin.
You had a lot of ways you could have dealt with that, but you did exactly what I accused you of doing as your defense against the accusation.
You say it's not worth your time to engage, but you've got time to write long-winded, concerted personal attacks. You're not entertained- you're offended and threatened. Your personal attacks are your attempt to try to make the conversation about something you feel more comfortable with- something you can wrap your mind around. It makes you look small.

So, granted I'm not a huge fan of British plays, but I'm familiar with this incredibly esoteric concept. (dry sarcasm) Having said that, I don't think you know what gaslighting is. Gaslighting in a political/debate scenario generally refers to drawing conclusions based on contradictory evidence with the intent to deceive. Here are some examples of gas lighting:
1) Telling the American people that your Health Care Bill will increase the number of people with insurance and lower premiums after a CBO Report that clearly states that most people will see an immediate- and often significant- increase in premiums and over 20 million fewer people will be insured after it passes.
2) Maintaining that you fired the FBI Director for the same behavior that you spent months praising.
3) Getting up in front of the American people and denying that Russia interfered with our elections after your son, son-in-law, and campaign manager received an email from a Russian Oligarch's representative offering information on your opponent as part of an official Russian government program supporting your campaign, brought to you by Russian government lawyer representing a top Russian official. Also while your own administration has given sworn testimony that the interference both occurred in the last election and is ongoing.
4) Swearing that your inauguration crowd sizes were larger than your predecessor's even after pictures were posted clearly demonstrating a crowd the fraction of that size.
5) Tweeting that you believe the former US President personally ordered a wiretap on you despite that being illegal, having no evidence to back it up, and sworn testimony from your own administration saying that it never occurred. Also despite having full personal access to any warrants for wiretapping and being able to prove or disprove the claim on your own.
THOSE are examples of gas lighting.

Democrats have mastered this shit so well that most people don't even question this shit anymore, they just accept it as fact that the parties "switched" over civil rights and if you ask someone to prove it they'll just laugh at you for being dumb.

You're constantly telling people they never cite any sources, even people who have provided a lot of sources.
It's a common tactic of someone engaging in gaslighting; make someone question their own reality.
"Wait, do I really never provide sources? I could have sworn I do. Do I not provide them enough?"
Also your tactic of latching on to someone's post when they agree with you or when they disagree with someone you don't like, you'll quote them and like I said say something like "Oh all these conservatives on these boards do shit like this. They are just angry old white men who can't get laid!"

Start dealing with the actual facts of the situation. Stop ignoring it. If you can't dispute those facts- then you need to own up to that fact.

Spoiler Alert: Ben Shapiro, your favorite imbecile from Breitbart, hasn't singlehandedly or magically changed American history.
You not understanding what "Republican" meant in 1880 is your ignorance. No one else's. By all means, deludedly take pride in your willful ignorance and cherish the fact that the word "Republican" was used when those "Republicans" just smashed the Confederacy, which is the root of the modern-day Republican party, and fought tooth and nail against the 19th Amendment.
When I made my post, I was replying to a quote. What was that quote? Go ahead. I'll wait.

Ooh! You're crying "context" again exactly as I predicted. I repeat: You not understanding what "Republican" meant in 1880 is your ignorance. No one else's.
This is a consistent theme with you, where you enjoy accomplishments by "Republicans" of 70-100+ years ago, as if modern-day Republicans are the same group of people in any way -- ideologically, geographically, ancestrally. They aren't, and in fact, the ancestors of modern-day Republicans fought against those accomplishments, which you're unironically, with a mindlessly ignorant, shit-eating grin, taking pride in.

Yes, and as I mentioned, a "Republican" in 1880 has absolutely no bearing in any way, shape or form to modern-day Republicans, and fits into your established, years-long pattern of implying modern-day Republicans deserve credit for the accomplishments of people who their predecessors fought tooth and nail against.

There was no stupidity or misrepresentation. It was a Republican that proposed the amendment. I didn't say anything about liberalism or conservatism. I stated what party he belong to in response-
"They've been doing it for decades! Republicans have been unhappy ever since women earned the right to vote. They've always voted against women and they always vote against their own best interests."
Obviously not, since, whether the party has changed in views or not, THOSE Republicans obviously weren't unhappy.

PPP released a poll (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2017/PPP_Release_National_71817.pdf)today that really hits the heart of how concerted misinformation campaigns on the part of Trump and the Trump-supportive media have managed to build an alternative narrative on the Trump/Russia situation:
Only 26% of Trump voters believe that Russia wanted Trump to win- despite the fact that Russia's involvement and goals have been well-established. 44% think Russia wanted CLINTON to win- despite there being zero evidence for that assertion. 31% just aren't sure one way or the other.
Only 45% of Trump voters believe that Donald Trump Jr had a meeting with the Russians about information harmful to Clinton- despite the fact that DTJ himself released the actual e-mail chain explicitly stating as much.
32% of Trump voters believe the aforementioned meeting never happened- despite people who were at the meeting expressly stating it occurred.
24% of Trump voters just aren't sure if the meeting happened or not
24% of Trump voters support an investigation into the collusion allegations; 64% are opposed to even trying to uncover the truth (whatever it may be)
77% of Trump voters don't think Trump should leave office if collusion is uncovered
It's hard to avoid a comparison with anti-vaccers. They did a study last year (I believe) that demonstrated that the more evidence you presented them with that contradicted their belief that vaccines were dangerous, the more it made them dig in on their own beliefs. A big part of that is because anti-vaccine beliefs also include an intense amount of skepticism towards medical professionals- who are exactly the ones in a position to present the evidence that proves vaccines are generally safe.
You look at this group of people who have been taught to despise impartial media outlets that can present evidence that contradicts the Administration's narrative, and then you realize they don't even want to know the truth. No amount of reality will change their minds- they've got their narrative, and they're going to stick to it no matter how inaccurate it is.
And this is why Trump and associates spend so much time attacking the media. They need to make sure that they have a sizable chunk of the country who won't believe the institution most likely to reveal the truth behind the administration's deception.

What's really interesting is that if you watch right wing media outlets (Fox, Briebart, Daily Caller, etc), they're running constant stories about Clinton right now. It's all distraction material of course. If they don't invent some Clinton stories, then they have only Trump stories- which are always defensive and rarely favorable. Seems like a concerted effort to try to make Trump look better to his base.

The eighth named attendee at a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between top Trump associates and a politically-connected Russian lawyer is a business associate of a top Moscow oligarch and was once identified as a key figure in a Congressional money laundering probe.
Irakly Kaveladze, until now the mysterious “eighth man” in the room, attended the meeting on behalf of Aras Agalarov, a billionaire real estate magnate with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and a Trump family friend. A lawyer for Agalarov has confirmed Kaveladze’s attendance to other news outlets, though he did not respond to requests for comment from POLITICO.
Business filings list Kaveladze as the founder of a company called IBC Group, which shares a New Jersey address — 333 Sylvan Avenue in Englewood Cliffs — with several shell companies connected to Aras Agalarov.
One of those firms is Saffron Property Management, which Agalarov reportedly used to purchase an $11 million condo in Florida last year.
The others include CI Publishing, PB Consulting, Russian Art Mall and a company called RJI Properties, which is run by two childhood friends of Agalarov's son, Emin, a well-known Russian pop-singer. RJI's Instagram account links to the real estate profile of Emin Agalarov’s sister.
A POLITICO reporter visiting the nondescript office building where all of these companies are headquartered found that the suite linked to Agalarov and Kaveladze was empty, with unopened mail sitting by the door. A sign in the lobby indicated that the suite belonged to IBC and Russian Art Mall, which was founded in 2000 and registered to Emin Agalarov, who is a partner in his father's business.
Soooo, the Trump campaign sits in a meeting with a Russian government lawyer who lobbies on Russian sanctions and who appears to represent a top Russian official (who specializes in procuring compromising material about people), a representative of a Russian oligarch who has close ties to Trump, and a central figure in a Russian money laundering scheme from the 90s. Thereafter, the Trump campaign repeatedly lies to the American people about having absolutely no contact with the Russian government, and also about the Russian state-sponsored work to support Trump at the expensive of Clinton, and also suddenly starts claiming they have incriminating information about Clinton and asking the Russian government to hack into her email server on national TV.
Nope, nothing suspicious going on here at all.

The PPP poll (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2017/PPP_Release_National_71817.pdf)today actually has her losing to Trump by 7 points.

And this will change nothing, it's like you're completely oblivious to why people voted for Trump. There's a reason why people keep replying with "and the Clintons did this", your trying to vilify a "hit man" hired by the American voter to take out the corrupt Washington machine. They don't care, they just want to bring it down without having to do it the old fashioned way.
Get that through your thick skull and everything becomes crystal clear.
Your alt-left ideas have been rejected, go home, it's over, your side overstepped their bounds. Nobody wants to listen to your sides fruit loop bullshit anymore. It's really this simple.

Clintons spent over a billion dollars on this venture, had the media in their pocket, mainstream republicans went after him and he still won. Yes, they sent Trump in to do it and he continues to expose the corruption. He beat overwhelming odds.

Only 26% of Trump voters believe that Russia wanted Trump to win- despite the fact that Russia's involvement and goals have been well-established. 44% think Russia wanted CLINTON to win- despite there being zero evidence for that assertion. 31% just aren't sure one way or the other.
Only 45% of Trump voters believe that Donald Trump Jr had a meeting with the Russians about information harmful to Clinton- despite the fact that DTJ himself released the actual e-mail chain explicitly stating as much.
32% of Trump voters believe the aforementioned meeting never happened- despite people who were at the meeting expressly stating it occurred.
24% of Trump voters just aren't sure if the meeting happened or not
24% of Trump voters support an investigation into the collusion allegations; 64% are opposed to even trying to uncover the truth (whatever it may be)
77% of Trump voters don't think Trump should leave office if collusion is uncovered
You are such a fucking joke. Remember when 100% of Democrats, including those in Congress, thought Russia had literally hacked our elections and changed votes to make sure Trump won? Even though it turned out that was all bullshit based on nothing?
Remember how even a few days ago you (and 100% of Democrats) were still spouting the bullshit that 14 agencies thought Russia tried to interfere with our elections, even though the director said it was only 3?
You're projecting AGAIN.

Trump isn't in office because "the people" voted for him. He's here because of the electoral college system.
And Trump is running at high 30s/low 40s approval ratings right now- so stop pretending like we're magically back in November. We're not, and he's lost quite a bit of support.
Also, honestly, no one really cares with the local card-carrying white supremacist thinks about politics =/

The whole Russia narrative is only hurting the Democrat party, that should speak volumes to you about the mindset of the voters.

What's really interesting is that if you watch right wing media outlets (Fox, Briebart, Daily Caller, etc), they're running constant stories about Clinton right now. It's all distraction material of course. If they don't invent some Clinton stories, then they have only Trump stories- which are always defensive and rarely favorable. Seems like a concerted effort to try to make Trump look better to his base. There's no greater boogeyman than Clinton for their readers, and if they can continually talk about how "corrupt" she is- then it makes him appearing increasingly corrupt feel more mundane.
There you go again. Quoting someone you agree with who was just talking about one person and conflating it to "Trump's base."
Because, yeah, I'm sure pk is part of "Trump's base" and watches Fox News. Shit, I don't even watch Fox News.

Congratulations you got another zinger on T4F with zero substance otherwise.
Lets address the 17 agencies thing, lets get granular.
It was only the FBI, CIA and NSA... Published by the ODNI.
It was the three agencies with the largest budgets, and most concern with the subject matter at hand.
Had the Treasury Office's Intel Analytics department come up with something that might have had more to do with his Tax Returns.
For those of you who want to take the last line literally it was entirely made up I have no idea what that agency does

If she would have slunk back into the depths of obscurity maybe your pathetic rantings would actually make sense. But since she's still out there, even today, peddling her bullshit and insisting it's the fault of everyone else (even yourself!) for why she lost then I think she's fair game to bash.

For the love of-
CNN Reporting (http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/18/politics/trump-putin-g20/index.html) tonight that apparently Trump and Putin had an hour or so long, undisclosed, meeting during the G20 Summit
The White House, in a statement acknowledging the meeting, contended it was "brief" and said Trump spoke with Putin through Russia's translator. The US translator at the dinner -- each country was only allowed only one -- spoke Japanese, the White House said.
National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton said no other staff were present for the discussion.
The White House statement said the conversation took place in full view of other world leaders and their spouses at a dinner hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during the G20 summit. Trump was seated near Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Abe's wife, while first lady Melania Trump was seated next to Putin.
Not a single American was there for the meeting- just Putin, his translator, and Trump. Apparently the conversation was very friendly and animated, and for some reason it was never thought to mention it.
It raised quite a few eyebrows during the event, according to the person who broke the story (he was on Maddow this evening), and it greatly unnerved US allies that they seemed to be getting along so well, off the record. Interestingly enough, Maddow asked the guy who broke the story how common it was for US Presidents to hold these kinds of off-the-record meetings with Heads of State, and the last time this was a common occurrence was...Nixon- because he didn't trust the State Department (who provides staff for these events) and wanted to keep things secret.
