    The Dems would pass their agenda with GOP control of the House and Senate?

    Shame they didn't just go to his house and interview him and air it live. It would have helped them connect on a deeper level through the shared appreciation of doxing and harassing people.

    Trump continues to deny Russia's election meddling. Almost like this little orange lives in his own little world.

    It's a false-false flag operation. The person is really anti-trump, posing as a trump support trying to do a false-flag. The epitome of fake news.
    Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"

    Eh? Do you think every person in a political part or movement is ethical and rational? Here we have a scumbag who is also a giant moron. The left isn't the SOLE bastion of idiocy however compared to the number of fake hate crimes you could clearly see which side is more likely to pull this kind of crap.

    But that's just the most obvious explanation, it can't be that simple.

    And what's the Freedom Caucus? People that insist that every tax or any government regulation are assaults on our Freeeedoms?

    For the most part, yes. If your position is that the government already taxes and regulates too much than any additional tax or regulation is suspect.

    Which parts of "government oversight" are you ready to do without? The water you drink, the foods you eat, the meds you take, the car you drive, the bank you use? It's one thing to say teh gummint is too big or intrusive, it's another to say it has no role.

    Yeah but government spending is over a THIRD of GDP. That eventually has to be paid for, the effective tax rate at a generational level is going to be the spending level.

    Budgets reflect priorities. They are, in essence, moral declarations. Are you comfortable when politicians try to cut spending by defunding domestic programs FIRST?

    In respect of having lower taxes as a share of GDP, higher GDP per capita, lower budget deficit, higher life expectancy, lower crime rates ... need I go on?

    I have thoroughly enjoyed the Trump Jr. scandal that has been unfolding slowly over the past few days. Thrilling! Hilarious! Exceptional dramaturgy

    He is dragging down Kushner and Manafort at this point too. The level of stupid here is beyond explanation.

    Open Question for Americans: how much treason is too much for senior government figures even if they're Republicans?
    The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
    The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
    When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
    I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

    Steely, I think this is much better evidence for collusion than we have ever seen before. Don't know if it rises to the level of treason yet, but it's certainly getting there. Deeply problematic.

    It did rise to the level of treason.

    Did it? In the legal sense? According to US law? Based on information currently available to the public? I don't see it.

    The question is not whether it meets your colloquial definition, but whether it rises to a legal definition, which as I've already alluded to earlier is a pretty high bar.
