    ^^It bemuses me sometimes over what the pay-off is in posting obvious bollocks and having it called bollocks though.

    Which it wasn't as the memos weren't classified or restricted in access in any way.

    A great question, one I would have asked Comey. After all, what has trump called Comey again......?

    Comey's correct, it's not an insult, but a true statement.

    Comey's correct, it's not an insult, but a true statement.
    1. Of the seven memos, four now bear classification markings: two are marked "confidential" — the lowest classification level — and two are marked "secret.
    2. Mafia Don, Liar and morally bankrupt are Comey's opinion and an insult.
    3. Since when does an insult have to be untrue? A monkey has more brains than you. Maybe true or false but an insult nevertheless.

    However the director of the FBI surreptitiously passing off information to a "friend" to leak to the press stinks. Seriously you don't know why it stinks?

My point being one needs to concentrate on what any reasonable man would think about what Comey says rather than accept a literal rendition of his words. In this case Hilly would be in jail if not Bill's wife I think is the accepted version of what he said. You can agree or not but I think that is what he meant and he leaked documents and insulted the President.

    A good interview, from both sides.

    Anyone who is trying to stop the Mueller investigation or spends more than 8 seconds defending Trump has been taken in by the Koch brothers influence. They are spending another 400 million on the 2018 mid-terms to advance their agenda. Oddly enough, the Koch brothers have been successful in getting a lot of Americans to support their ideology. The Citizens United act is to blame for allowing all those gullible brains to be bought.

    I don't know much about it but is that the same as George Soros's links to the other side? Or maybe Left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer said perhaps there could be a "nuclear war" that would provide a "real course correction" to Donald Trump's presidency during an interview published by Rolling Stone.

    So you have the good billionaires on one side and the bad billionaires on the other side eh? Has it occurred to you that anyone buying arguments from either side is a pawn in a pay for politics game?

    Money is the first reason. The Koch brothers are worth over $100 billion. Soros is worth $8 billion. That's a big difference. The Kochs are behind more Super pacs and nasty right wing think tanks than anybody combined.

    It is a pretty easy explanation as the Koch brothers have a massive massive dark money network that they funnel billions of dollars into Soros has less than a tenth of their wealth and contributes a fraction of what the Koch's contribute to political PAC and Super PACS, think tanks etc. It is explained in excellent detail in this book;

    But you are not really after the truth are you Mark?

    Canada announces billions in retaliatory tariffs against US

    So much winning. Now the Canadians have taken the hint from China in being smart about where to punch. Who is going to hurt? A few months of this and I expect Trump to blame the Dems, then quietly go cap in hand (not him, a messenger) to Canada, Eurozone, and China.
    ""This is a perfectly reciprocal action," Freeland said. "It is a dollar for dollar response."Freeland said they had no other choice and called the tariffs regrettable.
    Many of the US products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports just US$3 million worth of yogurt from the US annually and most of it comes from one plant in Wisconsin, the home state of House Speaker Paul Ryan. The product will now be hit with a 10 per cent duty.
    Another product on the list is whiskey, which comes from Tennessee and Kentucky, the latter of which is the home state of Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell.
    Freeland also said they are prepared if US President Donald Trump escalates the trade war."

    I know I am probably one of the few people who actually live in Thailand on this forum but we remember Soros well in Thailand. Soros bet just under $1 billion of his total war chest of $12 billion against the baht. There's plenty of speculation that because he placed such a large bet on baht, Soros helped engineer the 1997 Asian crisis via his political connections. Of course I can't tell you this for sure you will have to look at it yourself and see if his money is a result of his political connections or his political connections the result of his money. How'd he do against the pound in 1992?

    Ah so you shift gears once again and come up with something that has nothing at all to do with who these billionaires influence on US politics. No one claimed Soros was an Angel but he is when compared to the Koch brothers. As usual you are out in the weeds somewhere with regards to the actual topic.

    What do you base that on? I think your statement proves that you don't know much.
