    And yours is the most un-American and treasonous. If you are compensated for it in any way, then I will add mercenary to the list.

    You are in support of freeing a traitor to the USA. I have to explain this to you?

    Traitor?

    Charges and convictions are two different things.

    Let me know when Manafort is actually convicted of a crime.

    I have to explain this to you?

    The left seems to be really denying the holocaust with these type of posts. They are trying to compare today's Republicans with the Nazis. There is no comparison between them. The Nazis killed 11 million people and tried to exterminate a race. The Republicans have pissed off some bed wetting liberals. Not even the same ball park.

    Not now... but why don't you compare the current Trump administration to Hitler 513 days into his presidency (Approx June 1934)... He wasn't killing 11 million people then, but many could see the writing on the wall....

    I suggest you read the 1933-1934 section in this URL (too big to post)

    https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005681

    P.S. I love how these threads change... started this talking about Manafort and now we are on Nazis (so basically full circle)

    It is ignorant and demeaning to those that survived the holocaust to compare the USA, today to Nazi Germany in the 30's and 40's. President Trump is elected to a 4 year term. He does not wield 1/10th of the power that Adolf Hitler demonstrated. To even post such drivel makes it hard for someone to be taken seriously in a political forum. Tell a survivor of Aushwitz that Trump is like Hitler. Do you not remember how many times the left has triumphed as President Trump has failed to get Congress to pass the legislation that he is seeking?

    It is true Witch Hunt. We don't want to know is there is collusion with Russia - I trust President Trump when he said that Putin was nice to him during Miss Universe, that he respects Putin, so even id there was a collusion, no hard done to the USA. And what did Muller find? Almost nothing : https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/20/17031772/mueller-indictments-grand-jury
    If you want to Make America Great Again ask President Trump to pardon George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, Richard Pinedo, Alex van der Zwaan, Konstantin Kilimnik and 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies who were indicted on conspiracy charges.
    Lets Make America Great Again with help of Vladimir Putin!

    Gladly..... were there more out there.... I wouldn't "tell" them Trump is like Hitler.... I would ASK them for their opinion, since even though they were most likely children or teens in the 1940's, their opinion would still weigh more than mine...

    Here's one who doesn't seem happy with the direction of this country. He wasn't in Auschwitz, but there were more than one Auschwitz's in the holocaust.

    SNIP
    Oster went on to say that he feels like democracy has "the chance to be greatly diminished in our country," adding, "Seeing Mr. Trump ask the audience to raise their hand and give an oath... things like this are not very welcome to someone who survived the Holocaust."

    "Are we actually going to build a fence around our country and make a ghetto out of the United States? Are we going to have 11 million people sent out and made refugees? I just simply cannot accept that America goes the way of Germany at one time."

    I've never compared Trump directly to Hitler, although some have. But not to point out some of the parallels of this administration to the German 3rd Reich is to ignore history, and we all know what happens to those who ignore history, don't we?

    Back on topic, sounds like the jail is trying to ensure Manafort's safety.. The LAST thing anybody wants (at this stage) is for Manafort to get attacked prior to his trials...

    SNIP
    Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort is being held in solitary confinement after his bail was revoked for witness tampering last week.

    "Paul is in solitary confinement for his own safety from the general prison population," former Trump lawyer John Down told Fox News on Tuesday. "The warden is concerned that someone would violently attack Paul just for street cred."

    "They make all prisoners return to their cells whenever Paul needs to leave his cell," Dowd continued.

    * I assume that is John Dowd, not John Down.... LOL

    4+ days in jail.... assuming this is not a pleasant process for somebody used to the lifestyle Manafort was...

    There is a solution, Paul....

    Except that in this case, there is no writing nor wall (not a border wall reference) for anywriting to appear on. The only writing is the fiction being promoted by propagandists.

    They, apparently have no shame.
