    But as mentioned so elegantly earlier this should be of no concern to Europeans despite it being in their news articles.

      Quite a while ago, back when Carter was president there was a radio commentator on a station in Philadelphia that pointed out a little oddity. I started looking at what he said. The point he made was this. If a newspaper story is about some sort of misdeeds of a politician does not mention the party in the headline or lead sentence in a news paper article then the politician is a democrat. If the party is mentioned in either the headline or lead paragraph then the party is most likely a republican. Same for radio or television news. News of wrong doing or corruption investigations if and no party is mentioned in the lead off to the story then the politician was a democrat. Party mentioned as a prominent or in the lead statements more than likely politician was a republican. Generally true no matter which news story is reporting. In time the only variation to this became talk radio. And no not just Rush Limbaugh. When he started there were commentators from both sides of the isle. And yes I did listen to it when it was on the air, Air America. The liberal talk radio that was in response to Rush. Could have been a good alternative source of commentary.

        I have also noticed that, during a campaign, many Democrat politicians won't mention their party affiliation in the campaign commercials. It's almost like they are ashamed of it.

          Now that you mentioned it I thought back and yeap same thing. Except for the districts where they are a lock on winning. Then they are real proud of their party affiliation.

Then we look at good old Mr "rich have to pay their fair share" Sanders. His 2014 return which was released shows a rate of 13.5 percent. Yeah Bernie raise the tax rates to tax the hell out of those rich ba**ards just so you can buy your 600,000 dollar home.

              And it's sounding more and more like Trump's tweets about Obama's wire taps weren't so crazy after all.

                  Election monitoring in 2012... That would be during the OBAMA administration! We also know that the Obama administration tried and failed to sway an election in Israel. They sent $350K of taxpayer money to help a group called OneVoice that was opposed to Netanyahu's re-election.

                  Is there any actual evidence of wrongdoing by Trump or his campaign staff or just more allegations? Remember the Democrat party slogan - evidence doesn't matter, "It's the seriousness of the charge!" - John Kerry
                  BTW, let's not forget that the Clinton campaign ALSO had contact with the Russian ambassador during the campaign. But if you get your news from the "mainstream" media you probably didn't hear about that.

                  Notice also that the Clinton Foundation has been shut down because Hillary and Bill no longer have political favors to sell.
                  Imagine all of the trouble we'd be in if Hillary were president and under the thumb of Vladimir Putin because of all the "dirt" that was found on Hillary's illegal email server.

The "media" is becoming less important every day, as Trump finally calls them out on their shenanigans. The top networks are nothing but leftist podiums, and a huge number of Americans are misrepresented there. We're tired of being called racist and homophobes etc. We want someone who will stand up to these baseless generalizations. Trump is doing that.

                    We're also tired of the snowflakes who cry every time they don't get their way and throw around the word "offended" whenever someone offers an opposing opinion.
                    I COULDN'T agree more...

                      "You may or may not have seen the latest nonsense about a transgender female wrestler. She "wanted to wrestle against boys, " but the state of Texas forced "him" to wrestle against girls since he was born a girl. The fact that "he" was taking steriods to enhance her male characteristics, and would have disqualified "her" if "he" was actually a male and using them the wrestle because steriods are a performance enhancing drug. Oh yeah "she" won the state championship. The transgender nonsense started with Renee Richards suing to be allowed to play against female tennis players in the early 70's. She actually won that lawsuit, but lost when it came to competing in a tournemant against I believe Chris Evertt."

                      Isn't this just a CLUSTERF**K of the highest order...??? Since when should we be entertaining the delusions of someone wanting to be SOMETHING OTHER than they were BORN TO BE??? Why are our elected officials capitulating to this LGBT crap? This isn't "civil rights', its ENTITLEMENT, pure and simple. And the Constitution is being twisted to represent these imbeciles.

                        Gets even better. A weight lifter has won an international woman's weight lifting championship in New Zealand. Best part the "woman" previously did compete as a male. If I read this in a book I'd think the author was a raving lunatic. But who knows how far this idiocy will be carried.

                        Transgender weightlifter wins international women

                        There has also been a lawsuit filed over a transgender female in the boys locker room. Only this time it is a young male suing because his rights to privacy were compromised because he had to dress next to a transgender female as a male dressed in bra and panties in the locker room during school. Of course the way it is being reported is a "top conservative religious group" filed the lawsuit.

                          Still no proof, incidental collection.

                          Incidental collection



                          from NSA Glossary (2016)
                          by National Security Agency Central Security Service

                          "When communications of a US citizen are collected while targeting a foreigner or a US person who is believed to be involved in terrorism."

                          If two terrorists of interest to a US Spy agency are recorded talking about Trump news, that is incidental collection.

                          It does not mean that Trump Tower has been "wire tapped" by Obama.

                            The Freedom Caucus (Tea party?) backed by big Koch brother funding seems to have a large impact on American politics.

                              This really sucks. The Repubs had 7 years to work on a new health care plan and they came up with that slop! A watered down version of Obama care. It was doomed from day one. Personally I think Paul Ryan was the biggest mistake having him involved. I still think he is in bed with the dems.

                              Well guess what, all the Repubs have to answer to their constituents about not repealing ObamaCare. This is what most run on and promised. Including Trump! I voted for Trump to get rid of ObamaCare because as I mentioned earlier I pay $1000 per month for single coverage! I don't even use it because of high deductible. $12,000 per year to go to doctors for yearly check up ($30 co-pay). There is no reason a person should have to pay this much money for health insurance. No pre-existing illness, etc...unless you want to consider the mental illness I will soon have because of all this crap!
