The Russo-Ukrainian War Thread (FKA Political Thread)

[Bobby Barrows]

So the Mueller Report came out. Not what people were expecting.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

So do we think the DNC will finally drop "muh Russia" now or will they continue to push this narrative anyway to the 2020 campaigns?

They are gonna have to push it. Several people in the Trump Campaign have been linked to it even if Trump himself hasn't.

The objective was to nail Trump. They now have massive egg on their faces after 2 years. Continuing to push this will lead to disaster for them.

They need to focus on what their constituents care about. Socialism-lite and Bernie bro stuff.

I mean look at the indictments and guilty pleas produced from the investigation. I don't see how this is any sort of failure or "witch hunt" when guys like Manafort, Stone and Cohen are gonna be behind bars. People thinking this was going to lead to impeachment were hoping way too much, and it should still be pushed as a reason to vote against Trump in 2020 by the DNC bc for a guy that surrounds himself with the "best people" a lot of them seem to be in prison for working with him, or going there very soon.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

The vast majority of charges derived from this investigation were for charges unrelated to the supposed Russian collusion.

I mean if the DNC wants to continue to push a narrative they failed to produce their desired results, they can, but it will fail.

 

[Chris]

I'd be more than okay with them dropping Russian collusion if Mueller didn't find any bc then the evidence probably just wasn't there as he's one of the best investigators in history. However a change of narrative would be fairly easy to his corrupt business dealings and possible fraud which the SDNY investigation is delving into. Depending on how that goes, Trump might wish for people to be talking about Russia again as he's already had to shut down is charity due to that investigation, which is funny bc one of the things he kept accusing Hilary of doing was using her charity for illegal purposes

But I was more than satisfied with the investigation before any report drop bc fuck Manafort, fuck Cohen, and MOTHERFUCK Roger Stone, dude should have been in jail after Watergate but instead he got a dumbass Nixon tattoo and kept fucking up the country for 40 more years.

I need some Reagan riding a raptor in my life.

The fact that there was a proposal so funny a Senator actually did this in an open session amuses me greatly.

 

[Wangman Page]

So does this mean every senator and Congress person is gettingnthiscmich scrutiny just like Trump and anyone he appoints because half would not be around anymore.


In other news Bernie's favorite country to say we need to look like and model after is crumbling under that socialist dystopia.

tap a junk in the house

Full Mueller report over 300 pages apparently and all 420 representatives voted to release it to congress instead of the 4 page summary. McConnell blocked it from getting a vote in the senate tho. Democrats probably hoping something in there hurts Trump, a lot of Republicans want it bc they think it'll finally shut this shit down, can't see why McConnell would block Congress from getting it when most of his party wants it as well. A public release obviously 100% out of the question without a ton of redactions and I don't really want it released publically for my sanity, bc I don't want a bunch of Twitter politicians acting like they read 300 fuckin' pages

Also I know we mostly just talk about US politics in here, but Brexit continues to be a shit-show and it's been hilarious watching all that's happened with it the last month or so. They drank that nationalist kool-aid and now can't figure out what to do with it

I dont keep up with any Euro news besides the yellow Vest protest. What is the cliff notes version of Brexit? I tried Google but always gives me the same left leaning sources/opinion pieces rather than actual news.

I'm not super educated on it as well but in short it's just the vote for Britain to leave the EU, except that was like two years ago and they still haven't been able to finalize a plan for it bc after the original vote that was like 51%-49%, a lot of people have changed their minds and no one can agree on a plan to actually leave. Theresa May keeps pushing votes to try and get her plan to leave through but they can't get a majority and I think they're coming up on the deadline where they were supposed to be gone by so no one knows what's gonna happen then if they can't figure something out. This is all just off the top of my head so I def might have some stuff wrong tho
