President Donald Trump

Yep, rather than address the point of contention, it's easier to play the victim card in response to my personal attacks (twisting, trolling, and parsing, oh my!).

I addressed it and nice to see you admitting your personal attacks........


FWIW, again, I never said Assad threatened the US and I never stated it was a "fact" his regime was a threat.

You both are trying to paint me into a corner when you could easily google Is Assad a threat to the US and get your answers then agree with me or not.

And I'm not playing the victim, I'm pointing out your BS.

She lost, get over it.

I am the one criticizing her view on Russia and Assad and you're making her arguments while telling me to 'get over it'. Classic!

Actually you did about 10 minutes ago.

Stop twisting his words!

I think your last paragraph actually is consistent with what I wrote, so I don't know that I would argue against it.

OK, I wasn't sure so wanted to clarify. When it comes to large scale destruction, I'm far more concerned about the Chinese than the Russians. The Russians, even during the Cold War, made sure that total nut cases did not obtain highly strategic weaponry (see, for example, Ceausescu in Romania), though the concept made for a fun Tom Clancy novel. I'd expect if the Russians really had the North Koreans in their sphere of influence that the Kim goon squad would have been eliminated long ago; the reality is the North is in the Chinese sphere of influence.

You are correct and I at times, when feeling under attack, don;t vet my words well enough. Care to point out where I said it was a fact prior to my obviously aggravated response?

No I'm implying that ever since you and I disagreed over the DNC, HRC and the election, you've attempted to lure me into vitriolic exchanges, topic doesn't matter.

This time you succeeded, congrats.

well I could...but honestly it would be more productive for you to try to specifically define why you think Assad is a threat and how. That's what the discussion started out as, me asking for evidence that he was a threat. If you want me to go Google it then we can probably just end the discussion now and save everyone who reads this from wasting more of their time.

Fine, when I get home I'll respond.

So, we had some actual news today...in case anyone cares. The Son of the POTUS admitted, and supplied the evidence, that he colluded with a foreign entity to try to attempt to influence the election. I believe the country was called Russia? Something like that?

Agreed...the problem though is that we now have a sizable percentage of the population that is completely ok with Russian meddling because it worked in their favor, and plenty of politicians who conveniently look the other way. Russian meddling is going to continue when so many are defending or enabling it to happen.

Where are you getting this information? I think this is a gross exaggeration. I may be wrong but I'd love to see support for this comment.

When Krauthammer turns on you, you've got serious issues...

Saw this on twitter and it made me laugh

What percent chance is there that US outrage about foreign election meddling in our politics will curtail US meddling in foreign politics?

89% are right.
