    Unnamed source = Fake News.

    Absolutely. Unfortunately in my gym CNN plays from the bank of tv's and this story has the left wetting themselves in excitement.

    It's difficult to keep the dumb masses in a state of perpetually enraged indignation.

    You people had no problem believing the "unnamed source" when it came to Obama. An "unnamed source" could have said he ate puppies, and there would have been five threads on it here. Sorry if it hurts your feelings that your king is getting the same treatment.

    They are all chasing their tails now. CNN cut off Bernie Sanders when he joked about their "Fake News". "Technical difficulties" - of course. ;-)

    So am I to understand you didn't like or tolerate charges against Obama that came from anonymous sources? Then you should understand exactly how
    others feel about this latest sad attempt to drum up trouble for Trump.

    Thanks....

    We wouldn't have had the investment in Computers and the internet without Reagan's tax cuts.
    That is incorrect in every way possible. Let alone why the dot boom occurred.

    What will come out soon is that Flynn made a promise to Trump's boss and master that Trump will "take care" of those pesky sanctions that POTUS BO had implemented. The accusation about fixed elections was made by Trump and Trump claimed that it was fixed against him so why would Benedict Arnold Flynn talk to his Russian masters about that?

    Wow, you are not even aware that that USSR became extinct over 2 decades ago as you rant about communists.:roflol:

    Keep fantasizing. Even if the allegation that he spoke to the Russian ambassador about sanctions and/or the election is accurate, it would break no law whatsoever. Even the 1700s statute itself has been deemed unconstitutional and in over 200 years there has never been a prosecution.

    Democratic Senators sent a letter to Iraq demanding the become more environmentally sensitive and dozens of Democrats officials and officeholders have spoken to foreign governments urging and discussing just about everything.

    This story is totally made up outrage that no one but Trump-haters even care about and they only care because they think someone else might - and no one else does.

    They didn't, I knew what Trump is from the start.

    But how many people, who decided to vote against Hillary after Comeys news conference 11 days before the election.
    Then the "we didn't find anything" conference 3 days before the election.
    How many of them would have not voted or decided to vote against Trump if they knew his
    campaign was in communication with Russia before the election?
    What exactly were they discussing?
    And how much of Trumps money comes from Russians?

    How much is a lot of money to a billionaire?

    This is from an interview of Donald Trump, Jr. in 2008:

    Makes total sense to me why people want to see Trump's income tax returns. Russian money is invested in Trump projects all over the world, from the US to Dubai.

    These claims are ridiculous in the extreme. There is no basis for any of them. The internet did not exist during any part of Reagan's adminstration for one thing.

    Reagan tripled the national debt. He did not set off a high tech investment boom. One already existed both before and after his tax program. What his taxes did do was cause the Federal government to become a serious drag on economic growth in the US because of the debt he ran up.

    Clinton fixed that. The day after he was gone, the Republicans went back to borrow and spend, and set the stage for the next collapse.

    Which is what Trump will do.

    That's where you're wrong actually. I have no problem with the DNC being exposed for actively working against Bernie Sanders in favor of Clinton. If anything I would like to thank the Russian hackers for that. It needed doing and it needs to be put to work to clean house at the DNC. However if the Trump campaign was working with the Russians to do so that is a huge problem and it needs to be investigated. A sitting president may have used Russian hackers to rig the election and that posses a huge threat to our democracy.

    Except that there are sources now saying that Flynn spoke to the Russian's before the election was held.

    LOL! Well CNN has become rather buggy, but bugs do not conspire - they panic and scatter. ;-)

    CNN shut Sanders down instantly when he drew attention to CNN as a Fake News network.
    Everything after that was an embarrassingly obvious CYA act. Good entertainment for some of us. :)

    Democratic officials and office holders, Flynn was neither when he made the call. Try again. You can't weasel your way out of the truth.

    Oh the ad hom is strong with this one.

    But while your apparent attempt at making me into a "hyperliberal" is cute, it's far from the truth. I'm actually pleased with Trump's crack down on illegal immigration, the travel ban which needs to include more muslim majority countries, and while I don't like proposed plans to pay for the boarder wall its something we need to do, as well as his hopefully swift end to sanctuary cities.

    So you can drop the petty and pathetic tac of trying to label me a "hyperliberal" and try sticking to the facts. Or you can go on making yourself look deranged.

    Yes, Trump has turned the entire corrupt Washington political establishment into a sept of frustrated Rumplestilskins.

    There was a phone call. The FBI monitored the phone call.

    What was discussed in the phone call is unknown, but the FBI found no wrong doing.

    So how do you draw the conclusion that it was some clandestine attempt to collude with russians regarding election hacking or anything else.

    There was a phone call. That's the only part of your argument that is true, the rest of it is pure imagination.

    Yet another Fake News controversy that in the end further damages the credibility of the MSM while enhancing Trump's resilience.

    Who's going to impeach him? The republican congress?
    You're going to have to get use to losing for the next 4-8 years.
