In this one, pro-Israeli lobby money. Her calls for ceasefire and criticism of Israeli tactics sunk her. It also didn't help that Bowman did the alarm pulling thing then lied about it and Bush was under investigation for misappropriating campaign funds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIPAC going all out to quell anti Israel sentiment in congress but given how the Bibi visit went, that is gonna be a very expensive battle going forward.

That probably did him/her in more than anything related to Israel. Though that stance did bring the money to their opponents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RupertKBD Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 9 hours ago, Smashian Kassian said: Reveal hidden contents Durham found that the FBI acted too hastily and relied on raw and unconfirmed intelligence when it opened the Trump-Russia investigation. He said at the time the probe was opened, the FBI had no information about any actual contact between Trump associates and Russian intelligence officials. He also claimed that FBI investigators fell prone to “confirmation bias,” repeatedly ignoring or rationalizing away information that could have undercut the premise of their investigation, and he noted that the FBI failed to corroborate a single substantive allegation from a dossier of research that it relied on during the course of the probe. “An objective and honest assessment of these strands of information should have caused the FBI to question not only the predication for Crossfire Hurricane, but also to reflect on whether the FBI was being manipulated for political or other purposes,” the report said, using the FBI’s code name for the Trump-Russia probe. “Unfortunately, it did not.” “Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Durham said in his report. Your right on the matter of impeachment, I'm technically wrong, but as I said to 24k in the final analysis Russiagate served as a propaganda campaign to delegitimize his win & influence public opinion regardless - which the corporate media of course more than ran with. If there was legit evidence of collusion they absolutely would've tried to remove him for it. That became an impossibility after Mueller declined to prosecute Trump for Obstruction of Justice, due to the OLC rule against prosecuting a sitting POTUS. In fact, after Bill Barr mischaracterized the Mueller report, Mueller himself came out and refuted that narrative. As I said before, there were 34 indictments, several of which were levied at members of Trump's inner circle: George Papadopoulos Paul Manafort Rick Gates Michael Flynn Roger Stone Michael Cohen There were also charges against Russian nationals: Konstantin Kilimnik Viktor Netyksho Maria Butina In addition to these well known conspirators, some of the lesser known people Indicted also provide some pretty damning evidence: Quote Russian accountant Elena Khusyayovna was charged in September 2018 with conspiracy to defraud the United States by interfering in the 2016 and 2018 U.S. elections.[174] She is accused of managing the finances of "Project Lakhta", a $35 million social media operation that used fake Twitter, Facebook and other profiles to spread misinformation and discord.[174] The crimes are alleged to have occurred from 2014 to 2018.[175] Khusyaynova reacted to the indictment with irony about the ability of "a simple Russian woman" to "help the citizens of a superpower to elect their president".[176] Project Lakhta was conducted by the Internet Research Agency and funded by various Concord Catering affiliates, under the direction of Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin. All were previously charged with related offenses as part of the Mueller investigation.[174] The case was filed in the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the United States Department of Justice with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The charges were not filed by the Special Counsel's office because the associated activities also related to the 2018 elections, which were out of Mueller's jurisdiction.[177] Of course, there were also (unsuccessful) efforts on the part of FF Jr... https://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/11/donald-trump-jr-posts-email-chain-setting-up-meeting-with-russian-lawyer-240402 Quote Donald Trump Jr. replied “love it” when told in an email chain in June 2016 that a Russian government lawyer was willing to share documents and other information that would “incriminate” Hillary Clinton — and that such information was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” So no......not "propaganda"......and not the "corporate media". The Trump campaign did coordinate with Russian agents. Some of their efforts were successful and some were not. The fact that Mueller couldn't tie some of the charges to Trump himself and declined to Indict on others due to the "sitting president" rule, does not change that fact. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 10 hours ago, Sabrefan1 said: His politics lean too far to the left to pick up people in the flyover/heartland states. Also, those states are going to fall to whatever has an (R) next to it's name, whether it's Trump or a blind poodle. The only states that really matter in the presidential elections are the swing states. Back in 2018 Arthur Jones former leader of American nazi party, ran in 3rd congressional district in Illinois. I received robocalls from the GOP saying not to vote for him because he is a nazi. He still got 58k votes because he had R next to his name, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly behavior while at school can be held in check but some folks just aren't born with the social tool kit. It's why they make great middle management, they aren't bothered by staffing issues.

Popular Post stawns Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 11 hours ago, Smashian Kassian said: You mean like when (in Canada) law abiding citizens have more guns taken away from them because the left parties lie + manipulate the uninformed to create a non-existent issue & score political points? Progressives want society to be a certain way just as non-progressive Conservatives do, one side continues to win over time hence any real pushback being decried not as people with a different perspective but outgroup not to be taken seriously. Most people in Canada aren't particularly ideological at all & just want freedom, to live by their own values, & economic prosperity. The Economy is really #1 in politics. Once those non-political people feel the squeeze they are going to vote for the alternative. No one is trying to take away anyone's guns. The difference is progressives want society to, you know, progress. Cons want it to regress to when things were good for people that look like they do, at the expense of everyone else 1 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Just an FYI here: Feels like the US will hold its Democracy and avoid the Threat that Trump bring with and his association with Putin /RuZ.. Meanwhile in RuZ .. UKR Force are inside Russia and liberating towns and villages, 100’s of RuZ troops are surrendering.. the last 24-48 hours have been absolutely Magnificent .. The arrival of F16’s have supported some ingenious military planning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
