    Actually, if you've been following the news, "reading everything that's out there", you'd know that there was an "unwillingness" at the FBI to believe that Trump could be working for the Russians or a Russian asset. Hence the reason they didn't begin investigating during the campaign, despite the preponderance of evidence out there. It was only after Trump revealed classified information to Russians in the oval office, and his disgusting fellating of Putin in Helsinki that they decided that yes, they needed to look into this.

    Which renders Turley's assumption worthless, and therefore his entire piece is based on nothing. Just another strawman.
    What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

      We all understand that. But you understand that there is a mounting body of evidence that some may consider a preponderance. And Dump's MO is to create a circus to distract from the ongoing investigations against him, which makes us even more vulnerable.

      Also consider that the risk of allowing a Russian asset to occupy that office is FAR more important than the risk of kicking an innocent Dump to the curb. Pence will give you your far right agenda. Just go with him ferchrissakes.

        I wonder what the left will say about him if they don’t get the result they want...

          Except no, his party will cover for him and his supporters will squeeze their eyes shut. Maybe you won't. But most Dumpies will literally not even see a problem. Cognitive bias is a real thing -- it allows people to edit their experiences to prevent dissonant information from getting through. Just go to a hockey game and watch the different fan sections experience a completely different game where the other team is committing all the penalties.

          Through Fox and Hate Radio the GOP has successfully trained its audience to ignore objective truths. They literally think that if a news report is published by the NY Times or WaPo, or if a scientific paper is published by a peer reviewed journal, then it's "fake."

          That is insane.

            If we use July 2016 (paragraph 15 of NYT article, "when he called on Russia during a campaign news conference in July 2016" and FBI counter-intel took note) to January 2019 we're at 31 months.


            Let's put the evidence out there and put an end to this one way or the other.
            They were also investigating a single event, for which there were 5 arrests made the night of, and its eventual cover up. A great many more events, and people, and no immediate arrests made the day/night of, and the investigation is bound to take longer.

                That is an awful sign for him and the GOP. That is one of the few polls he was doing well in as near as December. He has lost 5 points in a month. The Shutdown is killing him.

                That is why the Dems need to hold strong. No negotiating...no wall or no budget period. No need for Mueller or anything else...the longer he holds out the more likely we see an even bigger crash in 2020 for the GOP than we did in 2018.

                  And before you think it is clickbait and he didnt actually say that:

                  "Huge share of government workers were going to take vacation days, say between Christmas and New Year's. And then we have a shutdown and so they can't go to work, and so then they have the vacation but they don't have to use their vacation days," Hassett told PBS during an appearance on "NewsHour."
                  This clown never had a real job and never had to struggle you can tell.

                  And I am sick of hearing about "back pay" yeah you get made whole later and that is nice...but right now if you have no money coming in it becomes a real struggle. The more people write off the shutdown because of that the more out of touch they truly are.

                    Back Pay is meaningless if you've already gone bankrupt or ****ed your credit rating.

                      But no, this is like watching LivePD when they pull over a constitutionalist for no license plate and find needles, scales, baggies, and 10 pounds of meth on the center console.

                      Trump is whining that the cops can't pull him over or arrest him because they dont have the power, and that the car isn't his, he's being set up, he's never seen that specific bag of meth in his life before.

                      And here I am watching, rooting for the drug dog to bite him in the a**.
                      Personally, I'm rooting for the drug dog to bite his throat and not let go until the twitching stops.

                        One of my Facebook friends has said the majority of the people being locked out are contractors, not on salary. So I guess they don't have to be paid? Seriously, the blindness and stupidity of some people.

Coincidentally, my wife signed up for being a secret shopper a few months ago (she thought it would be fun) and just now got her first gig. We had to eat at Baker's Square, and they covered $35 of the tab. Other options she had would have taken some 20 minutes and netter her $3.

                                Both sides are so sure they know what they know. Any time I see situations like that I start doubting both sides. Seems (Turley) I'm not alone.
                                This is a ridiculous argument in the face of overwhelming (and yet still continuing to mount daily) evidence that trump is exactly what most of us are saying he is, a money laundering, mentally deficient, possibly seriously mentally ill individual, who has no business running a company let alone sitting in the most powerful office in the world. Yes, cognitive bias is a real thing, and yes it can cloud our thinking on many subjects. But God has gifted me, and most of us here, with the ability to weed through this bias with a little effort, to think critically about the evidence we've been presented, and come to logical, honest, and mostly accurate conclusions about trump. I don't know what is causing the trumpers of the world to believe what they are believing. I suspect what it is, but those of us who see trump for how dangerous he is or can be get accused of being mean when we point it out, so I'll keep those thoughts to myself.
