I think she summed it up nicely.

On Saturday, Feinstein fired back on the social media platform posting:”The FBI told me 5 years ago it had concerns that China was seeking to recruit an administrative member of my Calif staff (despite no access to sensitive information). I took those concerns seriously, learned the facts and made sure the employee left my office immediately.”

“Compare that to your actions: attacking the FBI and refusing the advice of your national security team. SAD! I appreciated then and now the diligent work of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies and acted in the best interests of the country. Give it a try!”

what you 'see' in the places you are or go is not the same as the facts of what IS happening across the US at large.

in 2016, I could tell you what I SAW was people thinking Trump was incompetent and divisive, and that he had no chance to win. The FACT of what happened in the US is that he did.

facts do matter, not just our limited experiences in our corner of the world.

so I keep hearing, but seeing no proof of.



this is a chart of US economic growth, please tell me, viewing the data, how the CLIMB in Obamas first years is such a 'trickle' compared to Trump?

or, like Trump, is it more information being thrown out without research or concern for accuracy?

Chicago? It is ONE community he LIVED in. it is one community in the STATE he represented along with 53 other members of state senate. Were there other areas in the STATE that did or are doing well, or are we nitpicking?

And as far as unemployment, I still see that as no effect UNLESS it had been climbing. but since it was ALREADY falling, a continued decline is not CHANGE.

since stocks were already gaining, continued gain is not CHANGE.

I am open minded. I just have a clear definition of what CHANGE is in terms of the direction of things.

of course no one has to date a potus, but some have to be concerned about what will be the effects of a Potus and their behaviors and actions upon them and their communities

I feel Trump isnt 'doing' much but claiming to build a wall, making enemies of the press and our allies, and friends with dictators, and Tweeting.

HE may be helping the bottom line profits of those that already of a select few. but otherwise, I believe he is pretty much a persona non grata with minimal effect on much of anything besides maybe the reputation and global relations of our country and maybe emboldening the divisions that are inside of our borders

people can be grateful and observant of things that need correcting at the same time ...

The stories will always be told as we will contiuously be left in the dark siphoning whatever information is out there to disinform and leave us believing we know the truth..A lot of things have come to light and we the puppets having our strings pulled will continue to dance to the narratives provided..really sad don't you think..The matrix is coming unraveled but not completely undone..and I'm sure the salvage operations are already in play as I'm sure another narrative will be provided as we and others will continue the dance of the unknowing..

ignorance is bliss while knowledge can sometimes leave you wondering and lost..I wonder what's on the t.v tonight..lol

enjoyed the debate Ms.H as always ...tc

not for nothing

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize shall be awarded to the person who in the preceding year "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

during his campaigning (when he would be nominated for the prize) he lead by example of words and actions of peace and diplomacy that others in the world recognized and rewarded ... in stark contrast to the election of 2016.



[so Obama won the noble peace prize for his apology tour and weakening our armed forces. Obamas plan of peace and diplomacy turned out to be weak and ineffective.

a review of the definition of FACT should definitely be posted at the top of the politics threads ...lol

The unhinged refers to his words and actions, those documented and in front of cameras, not necessarily things happening in the country or not that may or may not be connected to what he has said or done.

When you take most issues and pick BOTH sides, you are bound to be correct sometimes. This president flip flops and straight out makes things up so much, but that is not necessarily unhinged. His behavior in responding to critique or disagreement, on the other hand, as I have said before, is very similar to what may be described as senile or unhinged were it anyone else his age.

i was born in 1950, i grew up with B&W TV and a black
rotary dial party line phone...lol

what happened to just going to the ballgame to escape the
the cares of the world ? when watching the the best players
play a kids game was enough, without all this extra BS ??

"Buy me some peanuts & cracker jack, I don't care if i ever get back"

I don't know about 8 years of outright lies, but I would agree that the last 2 years of outright lies have been pretty tough to swallow.

You never did answer me: How did the Senator's driver see anything in her briefcase? This is not deflecting, this is your claim, I figured you could back it up

Like I say, logic is the key. And once you use logic, you can't be brainwashed by either side.

This country's current problem is that no one thinks anymore, and are just too lazy to question the lies being served to them. That is how the Russians influenced the election: get enough people saying stupid stuff on social media, and the lazy unthinking folks eventually absorb it from one another, and then they are brainwashed (even the ones too stupid to figure out how to use social media). Make the US people elect a president who is easily outthought by a real politician, and you will get a summit where the US president (who is too clueless to believe he didn't need outside help to win the election) denies his own intelligence agency and publicly kisses your president's ***.

The US is in serious trouble, and only the most brainwashed Kool-aid drinkers still believe Dear leader has an inkling of what he is doing.

Well let's be real, these soldiers were not buried in caskets and some may not have been buried at all, just left to the elements.
After over 60 years its surprising any remains are left.

I think if even 10% are actual U.S. soldiers and not North or South Koreans or even animals its still great for those families!


Having said that, I know as soon as 1 set of remains is confirmed as animal bones or not a soldier the left wing media will have a field day!

Three Hostages freed from N.Korea.

Now 50 Korean War MIA's return to home soil in Hawaii!



And not a penny in ransom like the last administration.

Gotta love it!

God bless the brave men and their families!

he's like a rat trying to escape a sinking ship in the
middle of the ocean...busy laying the ground work in case
he loses control of the house or senate in the mid-terms..
planting the seed by acknowledging Russian interference is
a *real threat* but this time they want the democrats to
win, even though Putin admitted he wanted Trump to be
voted in...Captain Flipflopper is going down with the ship..

here's an answer/solution...how about NOT starting
trade war and bragging about how easy it is to win one ?

Okay. Well, although there have been international invasions and government decapitations and imperial expansions such as you are advocating, which have happened repeatedly over the thousands of years humans have been around, there has never been an occasion where the strategy of "fixing" another country by invading it, ever actually worked.

And although more thorough enforcement of existing laws against employing illegals might help, you wont find any support for it (past lip service) from either of the largest American political parties. The Republicans used to oppose any attempt to require national identity documentation, and though they've reversed course on that over the years, they are still adamantly opposed to spending the amount of money needed to actually enforce even the existing laws against employing illegals. No one supported Trump's campaign proposal to expand INS or the justice system enough to deal with existing cases, and neither party has supported investigation and prosecution of employers.

If your goal is to make it less desirable to come to the US illegally, there are other options you could consider. Such as,put an end to allowing American companies to hire foreign workers at below living wages, even while they are still in their home countries; to prevent foreign companies from selling in the US market, if their national governments allow either slave labor, or oppression of the working classes.

You could also support the opposite of that, which has been proposed by a subset of the Republicans: reverse all American laws requiring safe working environments, end all anti-pollution controls, eliminate all worker rights entirely, and allow American companies to behave as badly and as corruptly as foreign companies do, so that the US wont be attractive any more.

But invasion and "repair" of foreign countries? It never works.
