    I wish they had been able to verify these claims as not doing so only reduces their already tanked credibility.

    That said, I think their is to much smoke swirling around Trump's relationship with Russia for their not to be any fire. I guess Trump's actions will be the the evidence one way or the other at this point.

    Yes because having any business relationship with Russia automatically makes any story about peeing on a bed more valid.

    Following your logic I've done charity work in Brazil so clearly any story that claims I helped chop down the rainforests is more valid because I've been there. :alcoholic:

    And I thought the 111th Congress only served 4 months claim was sad.

    In the dust bin along with Clinton's chances of ever being the first female president.

    ummm..........that's not what he said, he said they are waiting that long to get in originally, some found with earlier stages of cancer are not able to see a doctor until they are terminal.

    At least 40 U.S. veterans have died waiting for medical appointments at Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system — including many placed on a secret waiting list.

    The list was part of a complex cost-cutting scheme set up by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix aiming to hide the fact that between 1,400 and 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait up to 21 months to see a doctor, according to whistle-blowing retired top VA doctor and high-level sources.

    Like what, where he said he grabbed crotches? Something ABC remembered had been sitting on the back burner for 11 years because Trump was pals with the Clinton's when he said it, so it wasn't a story worth mentioning then. What other stories are true? Lol

    Trump hit it out of the park at his press conference. The left is withering.

    It's a great press conference. I just love the way the appointed lady is throwing facts into corrupted and disgusting media faces. DJT holds moral high ground.

    Did he?

    It is still going on.

    He did say that he will not release his tax returns, partly because no one wants to them.

    He said that Putin likes him and that is important. Somehow this is why the Russians tried to sway the election.

    He denies any ties at all with Russia in any context, which seems odd as he has done business in Russia.

    I am not sure he hit it out of the park. I think he set himself up for some massive falls when all is fact checked.

    I read the OP. It was a rant, not an article. It contained no evidence of anything.

    I know that you don't care about my posts since you don't like making arguments based on verifiible facts or evidenece.

    There is no evidence that this is fake, There is plenty of evidence that the Russians are pushing Trump and plenty of evidence that he has been in bed with Russian oligarchs. That IS Face, whether you like it our not.

    Of course, as usual, I invited you to prove otherwise. But you didn't, which is what I expected.

    Which confirms my claim that Kelly Ann Conway lied about it last night.

    A professional sleezebag like Trump isn't worthy to lick John McCain's shoes.

    One thing Trump will never hold is any sort of moral high ground. You have to have morals in the first place. Trump never has and never will.

    CNN rose to fame by stealing other news stories from other agencies, and they'll go down by the same thing with the added touch of fake news stories. Oh the irony...

    So Morgot twisted Trump's words for those of us who can't listen to the presser... Imagine that. Thanks for giving us the accurate news.

    You're smart by using C-Span as your source for watching Trump's news conference. All of the other sources will be telling you what you're hearing isn't what you're hearing. The MSM does that a lot.

    Funnily enough, regarding that aspect of this whole show, I agree with you as thats's actually the least believable aspect of the whole (Russia/Trump) story and I wouldn't be surprised at the 4chan origin in the slightest.

    But their have been a lot of rumours about Trump's relationship with Russia (a country who is not a friend to the west in the slightest) which should be investigated in an actual manner.

    And you got trounced in that thread whether you like it or not.

    Awesome press conference. Highlights included 1) refused to accept any questions from CNN reporter 2) making fun of Sen Linda Graham

    Agreed.

    I am not particularly concerned about the peeing on the bed story, although it is the sort of vulgar behavior that it trademark Trump.

    The stories about his ties to Russian banks and oligarchs are not new. Trump has surrounded himself with some people with shady connections to the Russians.

    Here's a detailed story on just a few of them.

    This story has been simmering for over a month. Do you think that the CIA and US intelligence should NOT have warned Trump this accusation was coming?

    Right-wingers claiming fake news. That's hilarious.

    Trump's ties to Russia are strong and numerous, why do you think he had his tax returns sealed?

    And just think... he's not even president yet!

    So get used to right-wingers whining about how the media is so mean to poor Trump.

    Throughout Donald Trump’s presidential campaign he expressed glowing admiration for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Many of Trump’s adoring comments were utterly gratuitous. After his Electoral College victory, Trump continued praising the former head of the KGB while dismissing the findings of all 17 American national security agencies that Putin directed Russian government interference to help Trump in the 2016 American presidential election.
    As veteran investigative economist and journalist Jim Henry shows below, a robust public record helps explain the fealty of Trump and his family to this murderous autocrat and the network of Russian oligarchs. Putin and his billionaire friends have plundered the wealth of their own people.

    They have also run numerous schemes to defraud governments and investors in the United States and Europe.

    From public records, using his renowned analytical skills, Henry shows what the mainstream news media in the United States have failed to report in any meaningful way: For three decades Donald Trump has profited from his connections to the Russian oligarchs, whose own fortunes depend on their continued fealty to Putin.

    We don’t know the full relationship between Donald Trump, the Trump family and their enterprises with the network of world-class criminals known as the Russian oligarchs. Henry acknowledges that his article poses more questions than answers, establishes more connections than full explanations.

    But what Henry does show should prompt every American to rise up in defense of their country to demand a thorough, out-in-the-open congressional investigation with no holds barred.

    The national security of the United States of America and of peace around the world, especially in Europe, may well depend on how thoroughly we understand the rich network of relationships between the 45th President and the Russian oligarchy.

    When Donald Trump chooses to exercise, or not exercise, his power to restrain Putin’s drive to invade independent countries and seize their wealth, as well as loot countries beyond his control, Americans need to know in whose interest the President is acting or looking the other way.

    Do our intelligence agencies look intelligent when they get trolled by some clown at 4chan?

    Have to concur.

    Probably the most interesting and best press conference ever held by any President-elect or standing President.

    One thing I noticed, how often Trump recognized and praised others in his administration and you look at all of Obama's press conferences in the past, it was always about Obama, Obama always praising himself and referring to himself and never mentioning anyone else in his administration, not even comrade Valerie Jarrett who wore the pants in the Obama White House.

    Not near as hilarious as watching the Alinskyites in the MSM being hoist with their own petard. :)
