Know what "hope and change" resulted in…

And? We don't let liberals run the country. The EC is how we do things here.

 

[Rustic]

Only a fool would think that's just nothing…

Hmmm...given that you are a fool, proved many times over, I needed to consider your comment. After a moments reflection, you comment is once again foolish. At least you are consistent.

Sorry, I could never be an Obama fanboy, it was too easy to see right through "hope and change".
...even under sniperfire in all 57 states

 

[Mr.Blonde]

"]Dang, even for Trump snowflakes, this is pathetic.

Obama was president. Presidents are allowed to talk about policy with foreign leaders.

The Trump snowflakes are so damn stupid and corrupt, they don't see the difference between a president talking about policy with foreign leaders, and private citizens doing it."

Sessions was not a private citizen at the time he was a Senator

Flynn spoke with Russia during the transition because he was going to be a national security adviser. Because of Obama relations with Russia were strained. Flynn was not some highly educated useless person he has experience and relationships. It would make sense for him to smooth things down.

We have had multiple departments investigate Trump's connection to Russia with no links found.

The intelligence agencies with the transcripts and the information haven't released what was said if there was something bad it would come out.[/QUOTE]

 

[brummelben]

Well Einstein, what was it?

OK, what was that conversation about...
Golfing? Fanboys like yourself are pitiful…

Try reading the entire conversation and maybe you will know, but after 4 years, who cares. Obama left office with a 60% approval rating. Lets see if Rump can do 1/2 of that

Only reason we have Trump is because of Obama… Elections have consequences

President Obama did a fine job. What was Bush's approval when he left office? In fact, what was Rumps approval when he entered office?

Like a said there would be no trump there was not an Obama… Elections have consequences. The American people seeing that hope and change was a load of shit…

No just your kind

Know what "hope and change" resulted in…

and he loses by 3 million votes

And? We don't let liberals run the country. The EC is how we do things here.

The same EC that you whined about and cried about when Obama was President?

 

[healthmyths]

You snipped out why, you little maggot.

Because it made no sense. I thought I was doing you a favor. And that's the thanks I get.

"Why mention the election if it wasn't relevant? Of course it was. Romney was running an anti-Russia campaign."

So? You've just confirmed Obama was telling the truth. So why did you lie by claiming he was not honest?

You're getting all twisted up in your own lies. That's one reason why it's so good to be a liberal. We don't have to obey a party that orders us to lie, so we don't ever get confused, trying to form some weird narrative based on lies.

You a smug idiot, nothing more. You repeat lies and expect them to become reality. I said why Obama mentioned it in private and you are too stupid to understand.

"Obama mentioned it in private" MEANS nothing! The intent is the point as everyone understands. What purpose did it serve for Obama to say
"This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility"
Why did he tell the Russians this? Wasn't he looking for Russia to influence HIS re-election by NOT doing anything until "AFTER MY ELECTION"???

You will never know the answer, but we do know that no one in his administration ever left office in disgrace

People that left his administration in disgrace asked to resign, or fearful of investigations!

...but barry was one hell of a firearm salesman...

 

[Rustic]

Because it made no sense. I thought I was doing you a favor. And that's the thanks I get.

So? You've just confirmed Obama was telling the truth. So why did you lie by claiming he was not honest?

You're getting all twisted up in your own lies. That's one reason why it's so good to be a liberal. We don't have to obey a party that orders us to lie, so we don't ever get confused, trying to form some weird narrative based on lies.

You a smug idiot, nothing more. You repeat lies and expect them to become reality. I said why Obama mentioned it in private and you are too stupid to understand.

"Obama mentioned it in private" MEANS nothing! The intent is the point as everyone understands. What purpose did it serve for Obama to say
"This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility"
Why did he tell the Russians this? Wasn't he looking for Russia to influence HIS re-election by NOT doing anything until "AFTER MY ELECTION"???

You will never know the answer, but we do know that no one in his administration ever left office in disgrace

People that left his administration in disgrace asked to resign, or fearful of investigations!

The Unfaithful Departed: Meet The People Who Bailed On The Obama Administration | Zero Hedge

Not a single one left in disgrace. Not a single one lied to Congress

You are a Gullible fuck...

 

[Wry Catcher]

You snipped out why, you little maggot.

Because it made no sense. I thought I was doing you a favor. And that's the thanks I get.

"Why mention the election if it wasn't relevant? Of course it was. Romney was running an anti-Russia campaign."

So? You've just confirmed Obama was telling the truth. So why did you lie by claiming he was not honest?

You're getting all twisted up in your own lies. That's one reason why it's so good to be a liberal. We don't have to obey a party that orders us to lie, so we don't ever get confused, trying to form some weird narrative based on lies.

You a smug idiot, nothing more. You repeat lies and expect them to become reality. I said why Obama mentioned it in private and you are too stupid to understand.

"Obama mentioned it in private" MEANS nothing! The intent is the point as everyone understands. What purpose did it serve for Obama to say
"This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility"
Why did he tell the Russians this? Wasn't he looking for Russia to influence HIS re-election by NOT doing anything until "AFTER MY ELECTION"???

The answer to your ??? is simple, and if you were honest you would acknowledge it.

Everything Obama wanted to lead on, every policy, be it Foreign or Domestic, would be blocked and attacked by the McConnell/Boehner/Tea Party/Heritage Foundation/et al coalition, whose goal number one was for this uppity black man to fail, and for the Republican Party to regain the power it lost to this African, and in their ignorant opinion, a supposed American.

Why did he tell the Russians this? Wasn't he looking for Russia to influence HIS re-election by NOT doing anything until "AFTER MY ELECTION"???

You will never know the answer, but we do know that no one in his administration ever left office in disgrace

People that left his administration in disgrace asked to resign, or fearful of investigations!

Flashback: Chuck Schumer Meets with Putin in New York City

 

[Tom Horn]

The Kenyan turd and his little band of traitors are behind all this bullshit. I see Valerie Jarrett has moved in with Barry and Mike....one can only imagine what goes on in that bedroom at night.

 

[healthmyths]

As he was leaning toward Medvedev in Seoul, Obama was overheard asking for time -
"particularly with missile defense" - until he is in a better position politically to resolve such issues.
"I understand your message about space," replied Medvedev, who will hand over the presidency to Putin in May.

"This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility," Obama said, expressing confidence that he would win a second term.

"I will transmit this information to Vladimir," said Medvedev, Putin's protégé and long considered number two in Moscow's power structure.

The exchange, parts of it inaudible, was monitored by a White House pool of television journalists as well as Russian reporters listening live from their press center.
Obama tells Russia's Medvedev more flexibility after election


So here is what a Google search shows as how the MSM handled that campaign comment to the Russians!

View attachment 115195

you clearly suck at googling.

you clearly suck!

 

[healthmyths]

You snipped out why, you little maggot.

Because it made no sense. I thought I was doing you a favor. And that's the thanks I get.

"Why mention the election if it wasn't relevant? Of course it was. Romney was running an anti-Russia campaign."

So? You've just confirmed Obama was telling the truth. So why did you lie by claiming he was not honest?

You're getting all twisted up in your own lies. That's one reason why it's so good to be a liberal. We don't have to obey a party that orders us to lie, so we don't ever get confused, trying to form some weird narrative based on lies.

You a smug idiot, nothing more. You repeat lies and expect them to become reality. I said why Obama mentioned it in private and you are too stupid to understand.

"Obama mentioned it in private" MEANS nothing! The intent is the point as everyone understands. What purpose did it serve for Obama to say
"This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility"
Why did he tell the Russians this? Wasn't he looking for Russia to influence HIS re-election by NOT doing anything until "AFTER MY ELECTION"???

The answer to your ??? is simple, and if you were honest you would acknowledge it.

Everything Obama wanted to lead on, every policy, be it Foreign or Domestic, would be blocked and attacked by the McConnell/Boehner/Tea Party/Heritage Foundation/et al coalition, whose goal number one was for this uppity black man to fail, and for the Republican Party to regain the power it lost to this African, and in their ignorant opinion, a supposed American.

Post Script:

I wonder why Rustic is allowed to spam this thread with comments way off topic? Aren't there rules which prevent such a proliferation of off topic comments?

Explain your spam statement?
