This report goes against what Trump just said in his presser. He said he read the information after the briefing but NBC is saying it only presented orally.

Read it the same way you and I read it, you think no-one could point him to buzzfeed?

That's his claim.

He was saying that he read the same thing we all read last night, and that he won't comment on what was or was not said in the briefing.

Stop freaking out everyone.

We know, now, that this document, these allegations, this investigation have been ongoing for a long time.

McCain has said it, Comey basically said this at his hearing, BBC has verified and confirmed they have reached out to Comey, Harry Reid knew this.

What's important isn't that a single NBC source has said something different.

What's important is that we don't freak out and lose a potential weapon against Trump, especially when there is clearly something, *something* going on. Let work get done to verify as far as possible.

Im saying the same thing Ive been saying since before LF even responded to me.

How have I shifted the argument?

and how tf is Lord Frieza not saying the report isn't a bombshell? He was just saying if I paid attention to the election I would realize the report is not that crazy. IMO it seems like hes saying hes not arguing for the report being true, arguing that it COULD be true and why it actually isnt that crazy, and then claiming im shifting the argument when I argue against it, because somehow hes not really arguing for that and the wholetime was merely stating that trump has ties with russia, which I also refuted and pointed out thats not an accurate summary of the report. if all we're arguing about is whether or not Trump might have some ties to russia, ive already responded to that in one of our posts. and theres no way thats all hes saying.

Because Lord kept talking about the crazyness of the issue, you kept changing the topic to talk about its veracity. They're different.

I'm just gonna quote this part, which sum it up pretty well.

Lord Frieza said:
I mean, yes, it's crazy to think that we have a President-Elect being influenced by a foreign power, if not outright in bed with them. But a candidate that has consistently been Pro-Russia, has numerous possible business connections to Russia, has staff with Russian ties, had the election he won influenced by Russia most likely to benefit him, and nominated a friend of Russia as Secretary of State whose first big challenged after this election will be to address Russia being influenced or in bed with Russia is not that shocking of a thing when you look at all of that lol.

Conclusion. It IS crazy as a whole, but not so much when you take into account all of these factors that we've been seeing.

Not so difficult to understand.

Lol, no, he's right. That's basically all I've been saying. That the idea of Trump having ties with Russia isn't that crazy based on his history. You're the one who continuously shifted away about it making it true and whatever.

Im so lost.

You said I was "doing something" by comparing this to pizzagate, I clarified that its a crazy ass story with no evidence, you said its not that crazy, now youre saying all youre saying is its not that crazy that Trump might have some sort of ties with Russia. So either you have no grasp of the gravity and specificity of the claims in the report and think its basically "Trump has ties with Russia" + golden showers being the only crazy thing, or you have no idea what we're even arguing about. Yes I am arguing about it being dumb to believe its true, you quoted me because I compared it to pizzagate, right? So I keep "shifting the argument" back to the original argument lol. Ok my bad I didn't realize we were suddenly arguing about whether or not Trump might have some "ties" to Russia, I have no idea when or how that happened ! Yes I agree with you, discovering Trump has some ties to Russia would not be surprising. I could swear I already conceded that in an earlier post. But back to my original argument (uh oh, potential argument shifting incoming), this report would be SHOCKING if true, and Trump would likely be tried for treason. Because idk if you know but it says much more than Trump and Russia have a romantic relationship. And its a bad idea to believe it while its unsubstantiated. Cuz it sounds crazy, and yes, more than just the pee thing. There are many specific claims. It doesn't have to be pornographic to be crazy.

I think calling so many people "literally hitler" made people care less about the accusations against Trump.

You're precisely right. The stance of the new Right is "they're never going to stop calling us hitler, so there's no point compromising or seeking any kind of moral respectability anyways" Donald Trump is the post-godwin president.

Does Trump only know two countries other than the US? "We get hacked by eberybody. That includes Russia, China... Everybody. We get hacked by everybody"

For you.
He was asked to deny the alleged contact between his campaign and Russia during the election.



He didn't deny it, he dodged the question.

Here you go folks, there it is.

Well, I guess if you made an accidental post from Anime-GAF in here you'd just get called a Trump supporter.

/s

:p

I'd be more interested in a Metal-GAF crossover with this. Maybe it's metal to get your pee on? \m/

Trumps certainly not metal. Guy can't go a day without getting offended and running to twitter!
