Engage and talk with these people, rather do exactly what they do with Muslims, people of color, immigrants, etc., by dehumanizing them.

Na, anyone who says such statements can go fuck themselves.

He is never going to accept the facts. Look at his goddamn Twitter page. He is a delusional idiot and no one here will able to convince him of his stupidity.

I'm not the fucking teacher of this first grader.

If they impeach Trump over treason, it'll fracture the party and doom Pence to half a term of complete irrelevancy. If these accusations hold water, the entire GOP as a whole, is in for a rough couple of years.

If they don't impeach him, in the face of evidence and proof of treason, things could be worse. That's grounds for revolution, described in the 2nd amendment as the peoples' right to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. It sucks but that's basically what it's for.

I do agree though that it will be tricky to watch a republican congress react to this.

Lol clapper coming out to "apologize" basically confirms trump was lying and is probably his way to say "fuck you"

To me it looks less like a confirmation or a denial of the situation but rather a public statement to rally the IC. They're all here to do the right thing for the country, basically.

Tillerson showed he's smarter than 99% of all politicians today. If he's not confirmed, we're fucked.

Sheesh, if there was ever a more relevant time for that film adaptation of The Honourable Schoolboy, this would kinda be it.

On a less silly note, this is stressful to watch unfold. WSJ releasing Christopher Steele's name is despicable, too.

Sorry, but there is a point of no return with deplorables.

It is better to call out their posting habits than to let the ignorant fall for their bullshit.

No. That's just wrong. You're continuing the cycle of hate that put us in this mess.

Actually talk and ask genuine questions with these people. You all have facts and the moral argument on your side, don't drop your morals to go on the same witch hunt that the ignorant people are on for liberals, facts, and anyone different. Be better than this.

Like if everything ends in a positive fashion, the movies about this are just going to be insane. You even have a built-in ticking clock for dramatic tension, with the inauguration drawing near

Anybody want to give me a summary of what is actually confirmed since yesterday (or a link with updates)? I know about yesterday's leak and how it apparently came from a former MI6 operative but the info wasn't confirmed. I also know that Trump denied it all today and called out CNN specifically.

I don't want to read 100+ pages here so I figured I'd ask for the latest.

In this thread, rife with information and various sources at all times, I'd rather point out that they're wrong and then not take a conversation any further than there. They're spreading disinformation. People are listening to that disinformation, and that's dangerous. Cut off the disinformation.

Eh, there is some evidence that ridicule does work sometimes.

That said, it's totally OK to not want to convince people or change their mind, especially those who are already entrenched. Ain't nobody got time for this shit and all that. :)

No, what put us in this mess was letting jackasses like these peddling their crazy-ass conspiracy theories and misinformation campaigns as simple "opinions".

Fuck them, there is nothing to engage. They are delusional idiots that won't ever listen to reason.

100%. Highlight the bullshit and identify it as such. The time for lattes and nice exchanges is behind us.
